BISHOP MARK LAWRENCE WRITES A LETTER

Following the early departure from General Convention 2012 of all but two of the deputation from the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, Bishop Mark Lawrence wrote a letter to the congregations in the diocese.

Some of you have actively followed the decisions of the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Others have been blissfully unaware that our denomination even had a General Convention. We have. And the actions taken mark a significant and distressing departure from the doctrine, discipline and worship of Christ as this church has received them.

As I was getting ready to post the screenshot of Bishop David Anderson's letter at the American Anglican Council, I noted that Mark Harris had a new post on this very subject. Since I don't have a legal mind, and I don't know quite what to make of this latest move by Bishop Mark Lawrence, I will not post commentary, but rather refer you Mark's post at Preludium.

The South Carolina Episcopalians also address the subject of this latest move as well as earlier actions which indicate that something is afoot in the diocese.

Thanks to Lapin for the link that lead me to David Anderson's letter.
