Edit Profile
Career
In 1961, he was ordained a minister of the Countess of Huntingdon"s Connexion. He then became involved in a number of independent Episcopal churches. He remained with that church until 1967 when he left for America.
In 1969 Clavier returned to the United States once again, seemingly to stay.
On 11 February 1970, George consecrated Clavier as a bishop and appointed him as a suffragan. Later that year, George resigned and Clavier served as primate for the next six years.
Harold L. Trott became primate in 1976, only to leave office in 1981 with Clavier once again taking the position as primate. In 1995, after allegations that he had attempted to have sexual relations with some female parishioners, Clavier resigned his position at the Deerfield Beach Anglican congregation and, in July 1995, the house of bishops subsequently declared that he had abandoned his vows and deposed him.
The local standing committee refused to prefer charges against him.
