- Notes
- "Archbishop Harold Lee Nutter, who died September 9 [2017] at age 93, is being mourned by many as a gentle, humble pastor who oversaw the diocese of Fredericton and the ecclesiastical province of Canada through a time of considerable turmoil". "Nutter served as bishop of the diocese from 1971 to 1989, and as metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of Canada (which covers the Atlantic provinces and much of the province of Quebec) from 1980 to 1989. He was the first bishop of Fredericton to have been born in New Brunswick". "Nutter was bishop when the Anglican Church of Canada's General Synod authorized the ordination of women as priests in 1976. Nutter did not initially support the practice, but is said to have moderated his position over time. He presided over another divisive issue, the introduction of the 'Book of Alternative Services' in 1985. According to a biographical sketch on the website of the diocese of Fredericton, Nutter insisted that the 'Book of Common Prayer' continue to be used in at least half the services in any parish".
