From Savannah-It’s been one year since Church of the Holy Trinity in Ridgeland made the decision to disassociate from the national Episcopal Church and remain in the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.
It’s been one year since life-long members of the church have parted ways, joining other houses of worship and also breaking ties with family and friends.
While the Diocese of South Carolina has commonly been referred to as the ‘breakaway church’, Holy Trinity’s Rev. James Gibson says this portrayal is simply inaccurate.
“Our contention is that we have kept the faith, we have stayed within the historic faith of the church and that our diocese, in the decision it has made to disaffiliate with the national church, is not ‘leaving’ the church,” Gibson said. “We have not broken away, we have branched out and sought a greater unity with the worldwide church.”
