Andrew Hedtler "Andy" Fairfield (May 31, 1943 – February 16, 2020) was an American Anglican bishop.
He was a theological conservative. He served from 1989 to 2003 as the tenth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota in the Episcopal Church.
In a 1996, Bishop Fairfield was the dissent in a 7-to-1 decision to dismiss heresy charges against retired bishop Walter C. Righter.[1]
In 2008, he renounced his ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church.[2] After his retirement, in disagreement with the pro-homosexuality policies of his church, he was translated to the Anglican Church of Uganda,[3] in 2007, and subsequently to the Anglican Church in North America.[4] Until his death, he was assisting bishop in the Anglican Diocese in New England.[5]
