Wes Nolden is a United States Air Force officer and disputed bishop in the Reformed Episcopal Church.
[1] In 2005, the United Episcopal Church of North America (UECNA) presiding bishop, Stephen C. Reber, welcomed Nolden as new clergy.
That June, Reber deposed Nolden allegedly because the latter "conspired to leave the UECNA before his consecration."
REC bishop Royal U. Grote Jr. also opposed Reber's claims, saying that Nolden was no longer in the archbishop's jurisdiction, and could therefore not be deposed.
[3] From 2010 to 2012, Nolden served as a representative of the Anglican Church in North America (a denomination in communion with the REC) during ecumenical dialogue with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.
