Ronald Powell (Richard, Duc de Palatine)

On 29 January 1945 Dr. Monzani Heard retired as Patriarch of the Ancient British Church, appointing Mar Georgius de Wilmot Newman as his successor. Mar Georgius assumed that the the deed of the college went with the Ancient British Church instead of the FPEC in which it was vested by the Nazarene Episcopal Ecclesia at the time of the 1897 union. Stating that the college was long dormant, on 25 October 1953 he appointed Bishop Ronald Powell (Richard, Duc de Palatine) as the president of the college when he consecrated the latter to the episcopalate. Bishop Powell then made this "Nazarene College" part of his newly established Pre-Nicene Catholic Church which still exists to this day under Bishop George William Boyer of London.)
