Written by SCDiosAdministrator
CHARLESTON, SC, JUNE 11, 2015 – Federal District Court Judge C. Weston Houck has provided attorneys in the case of vonRosenburg v. Lawrence a 30 day window in which both parties must prepare briefs on whether or not the case should be dismissed.
Judge Houck dismissed TEC’s complaint in 2013, recognizing that the essential issues of the Diocese’s identity would be resolved by a case that has been underway for almost three years in the South Carolina courts. TEC appealed Judge Houck’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit after the South Carolina trial ended in August 2014.

“You are not alone,” says Bishop Zavala, speaking for primates of the Global South, which represents two-thirds of the world’s Anglicans
CHARLESTON, SC, May 21, 2015 – Repeating the reassurances spoken by a stream of visiting Anglican bishops during the past three years, the Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Province of South America told Bishop Mark Lawrence and others from the Diocese of South Carolina, “My brothers and sisters, you are not alone. You continue being part of the Anglican Communion.”
The Most Rev. Hector “Tito” Zavala, Bishop of Chile and Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Province of South America, made his comments in clear English during a meeting at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul, Charleston, May 20. He said that, despite the Diocese’s separation from the Episcopal Church in 2012, the Diocese continues to be recognized as Anglicans by the majority of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
“I'm here with you with the consent of the Archbishop of Canterbury," said Bishop Zavala. He told those gathered that Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was with the Global South Primates "Steering Committee" in a meeting in Cairo, Egypt in 2014 when "we decided to establish a Primatial Oversight Council to provide pastoral and primatial oversight to some dioceses in order to keep them within the Communion" said Bishop Zavala.
