From South Carolina-The Diocese of South Carolina will hold its 222nd annual convention March 8-9 at the Francis Marion Performing Arts Center in Florence.
This year’s convention workshops are designed to equip the diocese’s lay members and clergy for the work of ministry. Bishop Mark J. Lawrence, the 14th bishop of South Carolina, said such workshops would be key parts of future conventions.
This year, three free workshops will be open to the public on Friday, March 8:
- “Youth Ministry for Small Churches” — 2:30-4 p.m., led by the Diocesan Youth Ministry Coordinator Dave Wright. The program is designed to help small churches do youth ministry like larger churches.
- “The Apologetics of C.S. Lewis,” a primer on how to defend Christianity — 1-2:30 p.m., led by the Rev. Dr. Kendall S. Harmon, the diocese’s canon theologian.
- “Sozo Prayer,” a workshop on inner healing through prayer — 1-4 p.m., led by Kelli Hample, Lisa Fike and Karen Tetrev.
The convention will also feature a sermon by the Rt. Rev. Keith Ackerman, bishop vicar of the Diocese of Quincy (Illinois) of the Anglican Church in North America. He will serve as guest preacher at the opening Eucharist Friday evening at St. John’s, Florence. The Diocese of Quincy left The Episcopal Church in 2008 and the following year was a founding member of the Anglican Church in North America.
