For the second day in a row, the witness admitted that he had not been shown any documents on contributions by the Diocese to TEC for the same period that TEC was claiming it had made contributions to the Diocese and its parishes.<\/p>\n
The rest of the day was spent reading the deposition of Thomas M. Rickenbaker from Spartanburg, South Carolina, who was interviewed for Bishop of South Carolina but did not make it to the second round of finalists. Rickenbaker was not present for his testimony.<\/p>\n
Rickenbaker, who was baptized by Tom Tisdale, Sr., father of TECSC\u2019s lead attorney, said that when he was interviewed for the job of bishop that the first question he was asked in his interview was \u201cCan you lead us out of TEC?\u201d\u009d Richkenbaker had never provided that information to anyone in five years and then only recalled the conversation after being contacted by a representative of TECSC. His statements are in dispute by those who interviewed Mr. Rickenbaker in 2006.<\/p>\n
