[Globe and Mail] 22 Feb 2008--It wasn't until relatively late in his career that the man now fiercely leading an Anglican breakaway group in Canada had his Robert Frost moment.
Donald Harvey, at the time in his sixth year as chaplain of Memorial University where he taught English literature and theology, got a phone call one May evening in 1989 offering him a prestigious $15,000 academic grant to pursue a doctorate in poetry.
Not even an hour later, another call. The bishop on the other end of the line was offering him a dean's position at the cathedral.
Torn, he said he thought back to the nearly 30 years he had served as minister in parishes across Newfoundland and Labrador and what he called a miraculous recovery from a six-month bout of tuberculosis, and knew which path he had to choose.
