James Ormerod

In September of 1945 the ECofE split into two rival sections with Primus Pinder continuing as head until his death in January of 1950 of the ECofE and Bishop Saul becoming Primus of the English Episcopal Church and continued as that church's leader (under several name changes) until his death in June of 1991. Another irony to this story was that on 24 July 1959, Primus Hall himself sub-cond. cons. the Rt. Rev'd James Ormerod, the Primus of the continuing ECofE, probably to tick off Dr. Saul! By 1949 the FPEC had almost ceased to function. Bishop Mumby had died in September 1939; Archdeacon Asquith in June 1942; Bishop Harris in November 1946; and former Primus Monzani Heard in August 1947.
