Matthew John Charles Tuz

When Dr Moffatt died in 1989 he had not indicate whom he wished to succeed him as Primus, and the Constitution of the FPEC did not have any procedure to select a new Primus other than that of appointment by his predecessor. (In February of 1979 the FPEC missionary bishop of France and Germany the Rt Rev'd Horst K.F. Block basically appointed himself as Primus of an schismatic FPEC, but the rest of the Church ignored him.) After Dr Eckardt's death in 1993 the position of the FPEC in Canada was especially delicate as it was the province of the Primus to appoint bishops and archbishops for the Church. Luckly common sense prevailed and normal Anglican practice was adopted by the remainder of the Canadian FPEC (all the above mentioned Ontario residents). The clergy of the Church met and elected the Rev'd Lewis A. Short to become Metropolitan Archbishop for all of Canada. Episcopal oversight was given to the Most Rev'd Robert Randolph Rivette (1916 to 2004), the FPEC Metropolitan Archbishop of the USA until such a time Dr Rivette could consecrate the Rev'd Mr. Short. Unfortunately Archbishop-elect Short died in June of 1993.

The Rev'd Matthew John Charles Tuz of London (b. 1951), son of Lt.Col the Rev'd Paul John Tuz of Toronto was elected by the clergy to become head of the Canadian Church. Matthew Tuz had been ordered a deacon by +Eckardt and under special episcopal warrant of +Rivette had been ordained a presbyter by Bishop-elect Short in early 1993. On 3 July 1993 he was formally consecrated and installed as Metropolitan Archbishop of Canada by Dr Rivette in an eastend municipal owned church in London, Ontario. On 4 February 1999 The Free Protestant Episcopal Church was incorporated once more in Canada under the Statues of the Province of Ontario (registration number 1333161) with its head office in London, Ontario. In the year of 2000 the Trustees of the FPEC in Canada consisted of: Most Rev'd Matthew J.C. Tuz (Archbishop), Venerable Arthur Downes (Archdeacon & Secretary), Mrs. June M. Eckardt, and Mr. Graham C. Porter.
