The Ancient British Church in North America The Autocephalous Glastonbury Rite in Diaspora is a small body claiming to be Eastern Orthodox in Toronto to serve marginalised people who feel that they are rejected by the Eastern Orthodox Community and the Roman Catholic Church . The church was founded by its first presiding bishop Jonathan Vartan Zotique born Thomas William Brennand on 21 March 1946 in Toronto, Ontario . Zotique was originally ordained to minor orders by Archbishop Nelson D. Hillyer of the Old Roman Catholic Church of Ontario and in October 1970 he was ordained to both the diaconate and presbyterate by Bishop William Mark Plested. In April 1974 he travelled to France where he was consecrated by Clement XV Michel Collin before that bishop s death that same year, taking on the ecclesiastical name of Mar Zitikos at the time of his consecration. Zotique believed, but has no factual evidence to support his belief, that in 1958 Collin had received consecration from Mar Doreos Dorian A. F. Herbert of Newport, Wales the head of the Ancient British Church Agnostic and wished to established a similar church in Canada and the USA. On 12 September 1976 Mar Zitikos was sub conditione consecrated by Archbishop Boniface Grosvold of the Old Roman Catholic Church of Canada Latin Rite . In August 1989 he consecrated two bishops and an abbot bishop for the Ancient British Church in North America while he was briefly residing in Victoria, British Columbia. Bishop Zotique died on 3 June 1998 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
