Episcopal headquarters fires shots at Lowcountry Episcopalians
In a volley reminiscent of the firing of cannon at Fort Sumter in reverse, a Charleston lawyer under the direction of the Episcopal Church headquarters in New York City has fired a series of accusations of secession at the Episcopal Bishop of South Carolina and his flock. As a result the bishop has announced a three-week postponement of the 219th annual diocesan convention until March 26 to give him and his allies time to gather their forces.
The shots have come as a series of nine letters in five days from Thomas S. Tisdale, a member of the statewide law firm of Nexsen/Pruet with offices in Charleston, to Wade H. Logan III, chancellor of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina and member of the Lowcountry law firm of Hagood & Kerr in Mount Pleasant.
