From South Carolina-A retired bishop who lives on Daniel Island has been nominated to become provisional bishop for a diocese of Episcopal churches in eastern and lower South Carolina remaining with the national Episcopal Church.
The Rt. Rev. Charles Glenn vonRosenberg is a retired bishop of the Diocese of East Tennessee, a native of North Carolina and has long ties to South Carolina.
The Diocese of South Carolina located in the eastern and lower part of the state last year severed ties with the national church in disputes over ordination of gays and other issues. But 19 parishes and six worship groups from the diocese are remaining in the national church.
Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the presiding bishop of the national church, will be in Charleston later this month for a special convention to create a diocese of the parishes remaining with the national church.
