Robert Sturdy, 28 year old senior pastor/ Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Myrtle Beach shares the news that,
The clergy of St. Andrew’s Mount Pleasant have been formally removed from ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.
The church of St. Andrew’s voted to leave the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina last April. They are now a member church in the ACNA Diocese of the Holy Spirit.
Here’s the letter from Bishop Mark Lawrence to Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori reporting their removal.
Contrary to its actions to legally challenge All Saints Pawley Island’s claim to property, the diocese has taken no action to prevent the departing group in Mount Pleasant from taking the parish property.
