From Upper South Carolina-The insurance company that represents Trinity Episcopal Cathedral will pay $75,000 to the wife of former Dean Philip C. Linder, to settle a civil lawsuit related to his ouster from the cathedral’s top post in July 2010.
Ellen Linder filed suit in Richland County in October 2011 against the cathedral and Bishop W. Andrew Waldo of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina, claiming the church and bishop had inflicted emotional distress and defamed her during the Linders’ painful and public departure from the church.
The cathedral and the bishop had maintained there was no merit to the case.
In a letter to parishioners dated Dec. 11, senior warden Mark James said the decision was made by Church Insurance Group, the cathedral’s carrier, to reach the out-of-court settlement against the advice of the cathedral and Waldo.
