Record notes
The Free Protestant Episcopal Church, Diocese of Texas was incorporated in the State of Texas on 25 April 1972 by Bishop Robert R. Rivette, the only example of the official FPEC ever being incorporated in the USA. This charter is in good standing. On 2 March 1970 the Free Protestant Episcopal Christian Church, Inc. was incorporated in New Jersey with the Rt. Rev'd Willard D. Mayo, D.D., Ph.D. of East Orange, NJ as its Primus. Bishop Mayo was most likely consecrated in January of 1970 by Dr. Eric Daenecke (1914 to 1994), FPEC bishop of New York from 1960 to 1966. By 1969 Dr. Daenecke was living in New Jersey. This independent branch of the FPEC seems to have died with Dr. Mayo in 1997.
