William Hall

By 1949 Dr. Boltwood was already a bishop in the Catholicate of the West under Mar Georgius de Wilmot Newman when he took a Bachelor of Divinity course through Nazarene College under Dr. Hall. The FPEC was very much part of Primus Hall's life and he was anxious that the Church would not die with him. As a boy he had served as a choir boy in St. Stephen's FPEC Pro-Cathedral. In 1913 he was ordered a deacon by +Stevens and in 1915 he was ordained a presbyter by +Martin and appointed Bishop's Chaplain in 1917 in which office he served until he assumed the headship of the Church in 1939. He asked Dr. Boltwood to formally joined the FPEC while maintaining his connexion to +de Wilmot Newman's organisation. However, Dr. Hall was a stickler for the Holy Orders of the FPEC and made Dr. Boltwood a deacon (17 Dec. 1950), a presbyter (3 May 1951), and a bishop (6 April 1952) rather than accept him as a bishop as far as the FPEC was concern.

On 25 July 1916 Dr. Martin consecrated Benjamin Charles Harris as FPEC Bishop of Essex and Ernest Mumby as FPEC Bishop of Caer-Leirion, and as Chancellor of the Nazarene College, granted both new bishops doctor of divinity degrees. Benjamin Charles Harris was born in 1884 in Essex, England. On 25 July 1915 he was ordained a presbyter, as was also William Hall, by Dr. Martin exactly a year before being raised to the episcopate. Dr. Harris throughout his ministrial career served as a minister for various non-conformist churches. From 1927 to 1929 he was the pastor for Romford Evangelical Free Church in Romford, Essex. In 1929 he left Essex for Hertfordshire when he became minister for New Barnet Baptist Church. He later became the non-conformist chaplain to the Mental Hospital in Abbots Langley, Herts., in which town he died on 9 November 1946.

Dr. Herbert James Monzani Heard, during his time as Primus of the FPEC and afterwards, began the spreading of the Orders of the FPEC into other independent church groups. He consecrated Bishops Victor Alexander Palmer Hayman (20 April 1930), Frederick Charles Aloysius Harrington (13 June 1938), James Dominic Mary O'Gavigan (20 May 1940), and William Bernard Crow (13 June 1943) for their respective jurisdictions. He also consecrated his successor as Primus of the FPEC, the Rev'd William Hall on 18 May 1939 in St. Andrew's Church, Stonebridge Road, Tottenham, London, N.15. Dr. Monzani Heard disliked the name FPEC and introduced The Episcopal Apostolic Church of England at the time he consecrated +Harrington as an alternative title for the jurisdiction.
