Born in St John’s, Newfoundland on 13 September 1939,[1] Harvey was educated at the Memorial University of Newfoundland and ordained a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada in 1964.[2] He and his wife, Trudy, make their home in St. John's, Newfoundland.[3]
Harvey was an ACC priest for 30 years in various parishes in Newfoundland and Labrador, including Portugal Cove, Twillingate, King's Cove and Happy Valley and a six year appointment as a university chaplain. He has lectured in English literature at Memorial University of Newfoundland and taught pastoral theology at Queen's Theological College in St John's. In October 2009, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by Nashotah House Seminary.
He become the Dean of St John the Baptist, Newfoundland in 1989. He was elevated to the ACC episcopate in 1993 as Bishop of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. He retired as a bishop of the Anglican Church of Canada in 2004 after 12 years.
In November 2007, Harvey relinquished his licence in the Anglican Church of Canada and was received into the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone under its primate, Gregory Venables. In becoming a bishop in the Southern Cone, he came out of retirement, resumed full-time episcopal ministry on a volunteer basis in the Anglican Network in Canada (a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America) and began to offer episcopal oversight to a number of Canadian Anglican parishes that no longer believed the Anglican Church of Canada was doctrinally orthodox.
Reflecting on his 43 years of ordained ministry in the Anglican Church of Canada, Harvey has said that his cherished hope is that the church will be able to reform.[4]
