From South Carolina-When the dust settled after the Diocese of South Carolina voted to leave The Episcopal Church last month during its convention in Florence, there was still one small church in the area that remained undecided about its affiliation.
The conservative Diocese of South Carolina split with the more liberal national Episcopal Church last year over the ordination of gays and a variety of theological issues that has led to an ongoing legal battle surrounded by broken congregations left to decide which group to be a part of going forward.
Four Episcopal churches in the state out of a total of 71 have not chosen a side. In the Pee Dee, that number is zero.
The vestry at Christ Church of Quinby has now voted to remain with the diocese, leaving those in the area who wished to remain with the Episcopal Church without their last hope for a physical meeting place.
That is not stopping the small group of TEC-faithful from moving forward as well.
