Episcopal Priest Under Scrutiny for Nude Photography

The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri is investigating the Rev. John Blair upon discovering his hobby of nude and erotic photography:

Blair was not hiding his art. In fact, he could hardly have been more public about it. The 40-year-old priest declined to be interviewed, but he describes himself in several places online as an artist. Much of his photography is of adult female models in classic nude poses; his work has been shown in local galleries and art shows.

Unless you categorically consider nude or erotic art immoral, this is the worst anyone has to say about Blair:

Blair became a priest in the Episcopal Church in 2000. In 2004, he became rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church. He resigned in 2007 after being accused of what diocesan officials called “an impropriety,” though the diocese found no evidence to support the accusation.
