“Bearing with One Another in Love,” a petition that urges a non-litigious resolution of tensions within the Diocese of South Carolina, has attracted support from Episcopalians and Anglicans in 27 states (including South Carolina), Canada, and England.The petition also urges the Episcopal Church’s House of Bishops to “seek, alongside other leaders of our Church, a new application of the discipline of this Church that will build up the body of Christ in South Carolina and the Episcopal Church, mindful of our call in Christ to ‘be patient, bearing with one another in love.’”
The petition has drawn support across diocesan boundaries, including from several well-known leaders and bloggers:
The Rev. Tony Clavier, vicar at St. Bartholomew’s, Granite City, and St. Thomas’s, Glen Carbon, Illinois
The Rev. Tobias Stanislas Haller, BSG, rector, St. James Church Fordham, Bronx, New York
The Rev. Robert Hendrickson, curate, Christ Church, New Haven, Connecticut, and director of St. Hilda’s House
The Very Rev. Mike Kinman, dean, Christ Church Cathedral, St. Louis
