From South Carolina-
Last Saturday's In the Pews featured an announcement about $30,000 recently raised to benefit the Bread and Water Relief Fund in Cange, Haiti.
Money not only was contributed by members of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church. The congregation at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church donated much of the $15,000 raised by church members, clarified the Rev. Joseph Smith, vicar of St. Christopher's.
The fundraiser was a joint effort of both Spartanburg churches.
The money was matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous donor in the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina and contributed to the Bread and Water Relief Fund in honor of Rogers S. Harris and his wife, Anne. Harris was priest of St. Christopher's for several years before he was elected suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina.
