Episcopal Church in South Carolina clarifies standing of local clergy

[The Episcopal Church in South Carolina press release] A list of clergy in good standing is now available on the diocesan website of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, providing information to the public about which priests and deacons are currently authorized to function as ordained ministers of The Episcopal Church in this region of South Carolina.
The list includes those who are canonically resident in this diocese, as well as those who are canonically resident elsewhere, but have permission to officiate. At this time, the list includes 88 names, and it is being updated as new transitions occur.
At the end of June, a “Notice of Restriction” was sent by the Right Reverend Charles G. vonRosenberg, Provisional Bishop of the diocese, to the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, all the bishops of the church, and other church officials. The notice includes a list of more than 100 clergy who are canonically resident in the diocese and who have been “found to have abandoned The Episcopal Church.”
