In the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, concerns over the recent actions taken in July at the General Convention, and over matters of Scripture, polity and authority, have prompted diocese officials to call for a special Oct. 24 convention at which five resolutions will be considered.
Resolution No. 2 calls on Bishop Mark Lawrence and the Standing Committee “to begin withdrawing from all bodies of The Episcopal Church that have assented to actions contrary to Holy Scripture, the doctrine, discipline and worship of Christ as this Church has received them.”
Dear Father,
Our church stands in the fog of spiritual war. Open the heavens over South Carolina’s special convention. Send Your holy angels to encamp around them and shelter them with their wings. Enlighten the understanding of the delegates that they may perceive the next right step. Draw them closer to You. Amen.
