SC Bishop, A Same-Sex Blessing Opponent, Banned by Episcopal Church
Lindsay Street reports for the Goose Creek Patch that after the church suspended him, South Carolina’s Episcopal Bishop Mark Lawrence has announced that he plans on breaking with the Episcopal Church. Street writes, “The crux of the issue is over the national church’s more lenient stance on same-sex blessings, and the ordination of gay and female clergy,” stances that Lawrence has repeatedly failed to follow.
