Record notes
While he was a lay cleric in an Old Catholic body, Bishop Hockley received ordination to the three-fold Holy Orders of deacon, presbyter, and bishop on 8 August 1998 by Bishop Ian Phillips of Fargo, North Dakota, USA. The Old Catholic bodies that Bishop Hockley associated with did not accept these ordinations as valid, and he continued on in the status of lay cleric. On 2 May 2001, Bishop Hockley received a letter, dated 24 April 2001, from Archbishop Joseph L. Vredenburgh of the Federation of St. Thomas Christians confirming his validly as a bishop in his line of episcopal succession.
