From South Carolina-A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a bishop leading parishes loyal to The Episcopal Church in a feud between men who both claim to be rightful leader of the Diocese of South Carolina.
The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that a federal judge erred in putting a lawsuit between the bishops on hold while a separate case involving the same church schism winds through the state courts.
The appellate court ruled that a district judge only can stay certain cases in “exceptional” circumstances and sent the case back to a Charleston district court, breathing new hopes into local Episcopalians who want to see Bishop Charles vonRosenberg declared rightful leader of the diocese.
