http://www.formsofaddress.info/Reverend.html
While Reverend is sometimes used as an honorific in the manner of Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr., such use is not traditional. In traditional use, Reverend is never used alone, never with only a first name or only a surname, and never with another honorific (such as Dr.), or with hierarchical title (such as Bishop)
SO - The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson is an idiot.
NOT - Rev. Jess Lee Peterson is an idiot
