BARWIN, Karl Julius
consecrated 29 September 1984 by: Mark Robert Hakes
Assisted by James Simmons and John Thomas Kramer.

>also on 5 August 1989 by Bertil Persson assisted by Emile Federico Rodriguez y Fairfield, Arthur J. Garrow and Paul G. W. Schultz.

Editorial Note:  Archbishop Barwin, who now resides in Arizona, has become far more Old Catholic and closer to Orthodoxy than any in the movement.  He is a Holy Man, a man whose pain of heart struggles endears him to any one who comes to know him. 

Reposed 2009

BASSETT,  Samuel

consecrated 13 July 2000 by: Ernest Caswell;
Assisted by: Emile Rodriguez y Fairfield; and Joseph Vellone;
     (It is the opinion of some that t/he/y left the faith by his/their diametric opposition to the commission and charge of his/their initial consecration(s) and opposition to the Seven Ecumenical Councils by his/their subsequent consecration(s) of individual (males and females) in addition to several others in opposition to the requirements for holding off such consecrations when election notice had been opposed by calling a synod which involved those (whether or not of the same jurisdiction) to submit evidence to support opposition to consecration(s)...) It is alleged that this individual has admittedly taken no responsibility, being unrepentant, for his conviction which was known to all who consecrated him.

     It is the opinion of many that this man has repented and become responsible and worthy from an "Anglican" view.  He was appointed and succeeded Abbot Donald Pierce Weeks as head of the ACSB out of California.
