The Right Rev. Mark Lawrence will continue to operate under the name, seal and mark of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina after Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein issued a temporary injunction against the use of the name by those who remain with The Episcopal Church (TEC).
