Chris Lee is an Anglican priest-in-charge at St. Saviour's Church in Wendell Park, West London. [1]
Lee described himself as being lost on a "middle-class conveyor belt" on what to do with his life. [2] Lee later moved to Tanzania to teach English at a mission using the Bible as his main teaching tool, where he states he found his calling to become a priest. [3] He then completed a distance-learning degree to become a Church of England priest and was ordained a deacon in the diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro at the age of 24. [4] [3] Holly Willoughby on This Morning described Chris as "the nation's favourite vicar". [5]
He moved to St Saviour's in 2015. [4] [3] He is married. [6]
Lee first appeared on the YouTube channel Korean Englishman, where he ate fire noodles and chimaek ( Korean fried chicken and beer). [7]
His response to the College Scholastic Ability Test, where he prayed for the students, made him famous online; he was seen as an open-minded and non-judgemental Christian voice on the channel. This led to the "British Priest Reacts" series on Korean Englishman's second channel, Jolly, on which he regularly featured. [7] [8] In 2018, he visited South Korea with his wife, Jenny, [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14][ excessive citations] on a series hosted by Korean Englishman. In 2019, he and his twin brother Charles, [15] [16] a commando in the British Army, went to South Korea in the "Twins" series on Korean Englishman. [7]
Following his online popularity, he decided to start posting images of his home life, as well as 60-second sermons and theological commentary on his Instagram. [3] [17] In 2020, he compiled some of these sermons into a book, The OMG Effect: 60-Second Sermons to Live a Fuller Life. [18]
He has called for the church to do more to reach younger people through social media. [19]
