There is what is termed the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina with 
Mark Lawrence as their bishop.  The latest state of court judgements is 
that they are entitled to retain use of that description, the diocesan 
shield, etc.  The other group is called the Episcopal Church in South 
Carolina.  They are the group listed on the Episcopal Church's website.  
If you browse that site by diocese you will come to
http://www.episcopalchurch.org/diocese/south-carolina and their 
Provisional Bishop is Charles vonRosenberg.

I know Ginga has to be very careful about what she writes and there are 
various orders in place barring the group who look to +Charles as their 
bishop and +Katharine as their Primate from doing anything that might 
suggest they are the real Diocese of South Carolina.  I tried to be 
careful in what I said when I was there but I am grateful to +Charles 
who, after consulting my own bishop, gave me permission to preside and 
preach at the Eucharist in Summerville as an expression of the Worldwide 
Anglican Communion.
