From South Carolina-The Episcopal Church of South Carolina filed a complaint in federal court against its insurance company.
Court documents show the insurance company, Church
Insurance Company of Vermont, wrongfully made secret payments to
churches that sued the Episcopal Church, helping to fund their
litigation against the diocese.
The
complaint specifically names St. Philip's in downtown Charleston and
seeks actual and punitive damages from the insurance company.
According
to the complaint, the church discovered that the company paid insurance
proceeds to at least one of the disaffiliated parishes, St. Philip’s
Church in downtown Charleston. This discovery came through an annual
report published online by St. Philip’s that said “After spending for
TEC legal fees, Loan Amortization, and Capital Expenditures, St.
Philip’s incurred a net cash deficit of $79,045. However, roughly half
of the TEC Legal Fees were eligible for partial reimbursement from the
Church Insurance Co. of Vermont, totaling some $111,749.”
