TABLE OF APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION FOR BISHOP JERRY L HAYES

(Jerusalem/Celtic/Anglican Lineage)

It has already been mentioned that the Apostolic Orthodox Church Inter- national is in possession of fourteen separate lines of apostolic succession. However, only two are given in this book. In the last chapter we reviewed the Antioch Orthodox Succession; here, in this chapter, we review the Jerusalem/Celtic/Anglican lineage.

This line of apostolic succession begins with the Patriarchs of Jerusalem—starting with James the half brother of Christ, and coming down to John III, who consecrated the Celt, David of Wales, as Archbishop of the British Isles. We then follow this Celtic line until it translates into the Anglican in 1414 when Henry Chichele, the Archbishop of St David’s becomes the Archbishop of Canterbury. From then we follow the Anglican to the present.

1. James the Just (30 to 62) Consercrated bishop of Jerusalem by the Apostles. The half brother of Christ. The Roman Catholic suggestion that this James is the apostle, James the Less, is untrue. It was important to this group (Roman Catholic) to deny any other children to Mary, because of their “Ever Virgin” doctrine. However, most all scholars are agreed that this James (whom the Apostles recognized as the Bishop of the Jerusalem Church) was the brother of our Lord. Though it is thought by most that he was not a follower of Christ before the crucifixion, it is obvious that he became a believer shortly thereafter. Because of his association with the apostles, and their deferance to him at the Jerusalem council, one can hardly deny his apostolic office and authority. James was martyred in Jerusalem.

Up to this point we have followed the lineage of the Jerusalem bishops. At some point between the year of our Lord 516 and 523 His Holiness John III, Patriarch of Jerusalem, concercrated David of Wales as Metro- polatian Archbishop of the British Isles. (Rhygyfarch's Life of Saint David c. 1090. states Saint David was anointed as an archbishop by the Patriarch of Jerusalem, a position confirmed at the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi by popular acclaim. “Then, blessed and extolled by the mouth of all, he is with the consent of all the bishops, kings, princes, nobles, and all grades of the whole Britannic race, made archbishop, and his monastery too is declared the metropolis of the whole country, so that whoever ruled it should be accounted archbishop.”)

The church of Wales was British, and therefore Celtic. The church of Archbishop David was the church of the British Isles encountered by Rome’s Augustine, when arriving at Canterbury from Rome in 597. Hence, the Celtic church of the British Isles has apostolic succession from Jerusalem.
