Wilbur W. Lyle

+Moffatt assisted at several consecrations of bishops for the FPEC in North America during his lifetime. In addition, on 9 September 1984 he officiated in the consecration as chief consecrator of the Right Reverend Wilbur W. Lyle (8 October 1907 to 25 March 2000), as Bishop for the Diocese of British Columbia in the Reformed Episcopal Church of Canada. This consecration service occured in St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church, 628 Royal Avenue, New Westminister, British Columbia. Part of the Episcopal Orders of the FPEC are derived from the REC and as both jurisdictions are in the Anglican tradition, Dr Moffatt's involvement was deemed appropriate. The FPEC episcopal succession continues on in the Reformed Episcopal Church of Canada with +Lyle's participation in the consecration of the Rt. Rev'd Dr Michael Fedechko on 29 August 1993 as REC Bishop of Eastern Canada and in the consecration of his two immediate successors as REC Bishops of Western Canada: the Rt. Rev'd Edward A. "Ted" Follows on 12 September 1993, and that of the present diocesan bishop, the Rt. Rev'd Charles William Dorrington on 23 June 1996. After the death on 30 April 1982 of the Most Rev'd Albert J. Fuge Sr., Archbishop of the FPEC in the USA and International Primus, Dr Moffatt succeeded to the office of International Primus on 7 July of that year which he held until his death.
