Colin Bruce Slee, OBE (10 November 1945 – 25 November 2010) was a priest in the Church of England, most notable for his final position as Dean of Southwark Cathedral from 1994 until his death.
A friend of Desmond Tutu[1] and Rowan Williams, Slee's churchmanship was liberal (he was influenced by the book Honest to God during his youth[1]) and Anglo-Catholic. He gave his backing to Jeffrey John's nomination as a bishop in 2003[1] and was opposed to the use of the hymn "Jerusalem" in church.[2]
