Like the diocesan chancellor, Bishop Lawrence viewed the TEC attorney’s actions as adversarial and a challenge to his and the diocese’s authority. Lawrence asked members of the diocese to not strike out in unilateral directions and told them he would be communicating to them in the days leading up to their new convention date.
The Diocese of South Carolina and its bishop have been critical of the national church. In October of 2009, the diocese voted, among other things, that it would limit its involvement with TEC bodies that assented to actions contrary to the faith.
It also appears that the Diocese of South Carolina will not join in an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the case against All Saint’s Waccamaw Island.

I wonder, if TEC sued, if Dio SC might join the AMiA church in court as an amicus curia, with the interest of strengthening ecumenical ties. March 8, 9:13 pm | [comment link] |

Since today is March 8, does that mean time is up for joining the case? However, if the SC Supreme Court is overturned, wouldn’t that put the Denis Canon in effect, and the Diocese and TEC would get the property? Grandmother in SC March 8, 9:56 pm | [comment link] |

I have heard from a very reliable source that TEC is funding the appeal by All Saints. I can’t guarantee it is the truth, but my source is reliable and it certainly has the ring of truth, especially considering that the law firms handling the appeal are out of state have no connection with the original law suit.

The remnant at All Saints could not afford this appeal. If the law firms are from out of state, they are even more expensive. March 9, 10:03 am | [comment link] |
