Anglican Church in North America

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.^{[citation needed]}

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.^[5]
