Lawrence redux?

Tobias Haller has an excellent assessment of Mark Lawrence’s situation. At the moment, Lawrence seems to have fallen one Standing Committee short of the consents needed to become the bishop of South Carolina. Note Tobias’ last paragraph in which he suggests that South Carolina may elect Lawrence again in the hope that next time he will get the necessary votes. I don’t know the plans of the diocesan leadership, but that’s what I would do if I were them.
