Yes Terry and Paul was not the head of the Body. He did not make the final decision. He did not temporarily want to work with Mark but he could not reject him from ministry or from the Body. Christ is the head. And so the Lord used Barnabas and Peter to nurture Mark and help him grow. Eventually the Holy Spirit inspired Mark to write a book of the bible. No small thing considering most of the 12 apostles were not even used in this kind of function. Eventually Paul came to realize Mark's usefulness.
Lee's view of the Paul/Mark dispute is completely skewed and self-serving.
