BTW, who fired him...I wasn't following Petra that closely in the last number of years, so don't really know what went on there.

Here is a news clip from the Petra Rocks My World website from back when it happened.

Louie Weaver speaks out, says he was fired

This weekend Louie Weaver released a statement about his separation from Petra. The statement is available on his website louieweaver.com. Here are four of the most important details:
•Louie did not leave the band. He was fired on Feb. 8.
•He was fired by lead singer John Schlitt and manager Wayne Seboa.
•The firing was unexpected. Louie said he was "shocked" and "surprised."
•Louie is continuing on in ministry and has started a new musical project.

The website also notes that Petra issued a statement saying in part...

The band said that they and Louie had come to "an impasse" and that after seeking the Lord, they felt "this (is) the Lord's will for this situation."

I also seem to recall something to the effect that John had talked to Bob about the issue and Bob had told him he could do what he thought was best. Probably the not the exact quote, but I think it's close.
