Joy Hunter, director of communications for the South Carolina Diocese, told The Christian Post that the pastoral letter will not change the course the Diocese... [has taken].
"The Diocese of South Carolina has already disassociated from that organization," said Hunter, adding that Schori's authority holds no jurisdiction.
"We disagree with her statement that a diocese cannot leave TEC. It is in error historically, canonically and under the civil laws of this state."
Read it all.

You know, it strikes me that I think there has been as much or more media coverage of the situation in SC in recent weeks than there was about General Convention, which seemed to provoke a large yawn except for the story re: the passage of the rite for SSBs.
It’s good to see the media recognizing the importance of this story…
