The Bishop of the Diocese:

The Right Rev'd Barry Eugene Yingling, CSSS, Th.D.

Bishop Barry Eugene Yingling, CSSS, is the Bishop of the Diocese of the East of the United Anglican Church, Rector of St. Alban Anglican Church in York, Pennsylvania, President and Dean of Laud Hall Theological Seminary, and Chaplain of The Brunswick at Longstown, York, PA.

A graduate of Excelsior College with a B.S., he also holds a Masters in Theology degree from St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland and a Doctorate in Theology from Laud Hall Theological Seminary. He completed a residency in clinical pastoral education with Wellspan Health System, where he served as the Chaplain Resident in the Behavioral Health Services line. Bishop Yingling also holds a certificate in religious studies from the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania.

Having an extensive background in healthcare, Bishop Yingling, served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Emergency Health Services Federation for fifteen years. He also acted as the Chairman of the Board of the health systems agency for southcentral Pennsylvania. Bishop Yingling has also served as executive director of Harford Hospice, and on the boards of directors of the former Lebanon Valley General Hospital, and the advisory board of the Joseph Richey Hospice in Baltimore. He was the founder and the first chairman of the Pennsylvania Association of Regional Emergency Medical Services Councils. The Bishop has also been a lecturer and planning facilitator to nonprofit organizations, specializing in boardsmanship, organizational structures, and strategic planning. As the president of The Yingling Organization, the Bishop provided consulting services and executive mentoring to nonprofit and healthcare organizations and their chief executive officers.

The Bishop is a Companion of the Congregation of the Companions of the Holy Saviour, (c. 1891); a well established order of celibate men in Holy Orders and acts as the Director of Associates. He is a valued member of Forward in Faith North America, member of the Common Cause Partnership and the Anglican Communion Network. He is also a member of Mensa and the Society of St. Alban and St. Sergius, and edits the Churchmen's Ordo and Episcopal editions of the Ashby liturgical calendars. He is also an editorial contributor to the World Almanac.

Bishop Yingling's line of Apostolic Succession includes the Philippine Independent Catholic Church/the Polish National Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal Church USA, and the Old Catholic Churches.

The Bishop's personal motto, "Nihil innouetur nisi quod traditum est" is translated as: "Let there be no innovations save on the basis of tradition", and is from the baptismal canon of Pope S. Stephen I (+ 257). This refers to the process of handing on tradition as being essentially conservative, restrictive, and exclusive (cf. Paul's advice to the Thessalonians in II Thess. 2:15).

(The Rev’d) Fr. Leonard L. Sorvillo, A.CSSS

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus of Nazareth!

As a steward of our Saviour, and one dedicated to upholding the unchangeable Gospel, I have been called to provide to the faithful of South Florida, both traditional liturgy and biblically sound orthodox preaching. It is our hope here at Christ the King Anglican Church that you will pray for the discernment to visit us, and then, if guided by the Spirit, you will come and once again bask in 'the faith as delivered to the Saints.'

Being a cradle Episcopalian, raised and confirmed in the then Diocese of South Florida, I was called to the Priesthood later in life through the undeniable actions of the Holy Ghost. Educated in the Dade County Public School System, and Miami Dade College, my initial Theological training was through the Montreal School of Theology after which I received my M. Div. from Laud Hall Theological Seminary. Upon my ordination to the Diaconate, I was called to establish an Anglo-Catholic Mission here in South Florida; The Rev’d Canon W. Offerle, CSSS, of blessed memory acted as our Honorary Clergy and my personal mentor. Having completed my education, I was ordained to the Most Holy Priesthood on the Feast of St. Michael, 29 September, 2005.

I am a Forward in Faith NA Priest, a Priest of the Common Cause Partners and the Anglican Communion Network, an Associate of the Congregation of the Companions of the Holy Savior, CSSS, a member of the Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen, a member of Anglicans for Life, (a pro life ministry) and the Commissary to the United States for the Diocese of Koforidua, Anglican Province of West Africa.

As Rector of Christ the King Anglican Church, I welcome you to come back to a God that is the same today as He was yesterday---the same that He will be tomorrow. O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation, (Ps 95).

(The Rev’d) Fr. Lovemore Chiweshe

My name is Fr. Lovemore (Moore) Chiweshe. I was born in Zimbabwe. My wife Hamufari (Fari) and I have two beautiful daughters, Kudzi (10) and Tino (6). I was born and raised in an Anglican Church tradition.

I completed primary education at Anglican mission schools where I attended Sunday school, had a privilege to serve as an acolyte, and was an Anglican Youth Club member. I received my call to the priesthood in the 1980’s and spent some years in a local parish lay-ministry before going into seminary.

I was ordained in 1992 after completing studies at the National Theological College in Zimbabwe and the University of Zimbabwe respectively. In Zimbabwe, I served in two parishes before migrating to the USA where I joined the Episcopal Diocese of Southeastern Florida. In the ECUSA, I served in various capacities from 1997 to 2005. Between 2006 and 2007, I participated in the Anglican Mission in America as an assistant pastor at the Anglican Church of the Word, Pembroke Pines. Guided by the spirit of the Lord, I come to Christ the King Church, Davie where I hope to faithfully serve the Lord in this part of his vineyard.
