Dear Friends,
This morning, the United States Supreme Court released its list of orders of the day, which is their normal process for announcing the outcome of last Thursday’s conference discussion of petitions.
The Court announced they had denied our petition for Certiorari (as well as that for Eden Prairie).
As previously announced, the Bishop has scheduled a clergy day for this Thursday at St. Paul’s, Summerville, beginning at 1:00 p.m. The purpose will be to brief you, as best we are able, on the current legal landscape and its implications. The Bishop will address what this means (and doesn’t mean) for us as a Diocese and how we anticipate moving forward.
As always, please continue to keep this process and the labors of our legal counsel in your prayers.
In Christ’s service,
–The Rev. Canon Jim Lewis is Canon to the Ordinary in The Diocese of South Carolina
