Arthur Talfourd Foulger-Edington

During his years as an pentecostal minister and even after his consecration as a bishop in the FPEC, Dr Moffatt ordained many men as ministers for non-episcopal evangelical church groups. On 16 September 1984 he ordained to the priesthood the Rev'd DeForrest Wakefield Fletcher, assisted by the Rev'd John D. Kelher, rector of Old St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Tacoma, Washington State, USA, and by the Rev'd Jack M. Terry, minister of First Presbyterian Church in Puyallup, Washington State. Old St. Peter's was an old Anglican parish founded in 1873 that had left the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia of the PECUSA and had gone independent. The Rev'd Mr. Fletcher then became associate priest at Old St. Peter's until he succeeded the Rev'd Mr. Kelher as the rector in 1996. Dr Moffatt never demanded that Old St. Peter's become part of the FPEC and it remained independent until 1992 when it joined the traditional Anglican jurisdiction known as the Episcopal Missionary Church. So far research has found that he only ordained one person for the FPEC in Western Canada. On 15 August 1961 he ordained as a presbyter, the Rev'd Arthur Talfourd Foulger-Edington, B.D., M.A., M.Th., Litt.D. (1915 - 1970). The Rev'd Dr Foulger-Edington had been a minister in a non-episcopal church until he joined the Free Protestant Episcopal Church. Dr Foulger-Edington maintained an oratory for the FPEC in his home in New Westminister, British Columbia, until his death on 4 January 1970.
