    If he is from Dio. South Carolina, then I assume this would be a good thing for this church? And, if they still have 1200 members, presumably their last rector was a godly and faithful man?

    Um, he was from the diocese of *Upper* South Carolina. And the very first thing I thought when I saw the headline was “[i]keep your servant Michael . . . far far far away from here.[/i]”

    Drat, very sad to hear. I hope and pray that somehow this congregation pulls through.

    Re #2, there’s a priest I know like that. Sometimes a parish’s loss is a diocese’s gain.
