From South Carolina-A divide among Episcopal congregations in South Carolina is now in the hands of a circuit court judge in Dorchester County. At stake is more than half a billion dollars in real estate and ownership of Episcopal seals, logos and names.
More than 50 attorneys on both sides of a crowded courtroom in St. George rested their cases on Friday and are now preparing final documents for Judge Diane Schafer Goodstein to use as she makes a decision. She expects it will take at least 90 days.
The action was initially filed in January 2013 by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina, which is a group of nearly 40 parishes and 12 missions that broke away from the national Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church in South Carolina in October 2012.
