Attorneys back in court in SC Episcopal schism

From South Carolina-

Issues arising from the Episcopal schism in eastern South Carolina are going back before a federal judge.

U.S. District Judge C. Weston Houck holds a hearing in Charleston on Thursday on a motion filed by a churches remaining with the national church. It asks that only those churches be allowed to use the name and symbols of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.

Many churches in the conservative diocese separated from the national church last year over theological issues including authority of Scripture and ordination of gays. Those churches then sued in state court to protect the use of the diocesan name and a half billion dollars' worth of property.

Houck is hearing a separate federal suit filed by churches remaining with the national body.
