Coastal Observer (Pawleys Island, S.C.): All Saints groups reach accord on land dispute

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Kendall Harmon

A legal dispute over the All Saints church property that wound through the courts for almost a decade ended last week with an agreement between the leaders of the two congregations that claimed ownership of the historic parish.

Members of All Saints Waccamaw Parish voted in 2004 to leave the Episcopal Church in the U.S. and join the Anglican Mission in the Americas, which is headquartered on the church grounds. A group of parishioners reorganized the Episcopal parish, and brought suit to reclaim the church property on Kings River Road.

    Nice full coverage by the local paper. I’m sure glad for an amicable end to this decade-long, bitter dispute. Hats off to the leaders on both sides for burying the hachett.

    Nice article. I am sooo glad that this is over! God bless both parishes in their future ministry. I eagerly await the new name for Father Ed Kelaher’s parish.
