  2. Jeffersonian says:

    Exactly what needs to be done: Vestries and clergy standing athwart the machinations of TEC, shouting “stop!”

  3. Jeff Thimsen says:

    My daughter attended St. Luke’s when she lived there some years ago. I have visited and was very impressed. Glad to see that things haven’t changed there.

  4. SQ says:

    If the Lord calls you out leave, leave orderly but live now!

  5. RichardKew says:

    This is an encouraging statement.

  6. CanaAnglican says:

    Beautiful statement and stand. Will they continue to send money to TEC?

  7. SQ says:

    My understanding is that SC churches have a choice as to whether their money goes to TEC, an individual parish choice.

  8. Pb says:

    These are growing churches in a growing diocese. I think the reason is obvious to all but the leadership of TEC.

  9. Chris says:

    #8, I’m afraid it’s not obvious to the leadership of most of the EUCSA dioceses (and leadership of most EUCSA parishes), hence the terrible state of affairs.

    I’m privileged to know a good number of the clergy and vestry on this statement, and without exception I would testify to their faithful Christian character. And the ones I don’t know I would assume are no different….
