Around 1955 Dr Moffatt discovered the Free Protestant Episcopal Church and its St. Andrew's Correspondence College (Tottenham) Ltd. of London, England. He took several of its theological courses and graduated in 1957 becoming a Fellow of this school. On 2 June of that year, another one of this school's graduates, Dr Emmett Neil Enochs of Los Angeles, California, USA, was consecrated in St. Andrew's Collegiate Church, Tottenham, London, by the Rt. Rev'd Charles Dennis Boltwood, Rector of the College and then Coadjutor bishop to the Primus of the FPEC, the Most Rev'd William Hall, as Missionary Bishop for Los Angeles. Upon his return to the USA, Bishop Enochs contacted the other North American Fellows of the College and asked them to support him in inviting Dr Boltwood to come to the USA to found branches of the FPEC in both the USA and Canada. With Primus Hall's blessing, Dr Boltwood spent between 16 August and 24 September 1958 in the USA where met various St. Andrew's Fellows and preached in many churches. Dr Moffatt was consecrated to the episcopal bench of this church body on 24 August 1958 by Dr Boltwood assisted by Dr Enochs in the Church of St. Joseph of Arimathea, Los Angeles, California, USA, as FPEC Bishop of Manitoba. On 7 October 1962 Dr Moffatt was raised by Dr Boltwood, who by then had become Primus of the Church, as "Metropolitan Archbishop of Canada and the Northwest Territories" for the Free Protestant Episcopal Church. (It should be noted here that the title "archbishop" in proper Anglican usage is never for the head of a jurisdiction. It is for the senior bishop of an organised ecclesiastical province in which there are at least two diocesan bishops; the archbishop may serve as one of the diocesan bishops in his province.)
