[Magdalen] Bishop Guerry of South Carolina

[Ginga Wilder]

Roger, Christopher, et al,
We are ever grateful for your support and loving kindness for The Episcopal
Church in SC.  I am old and tired tonight, so I won't write much.  But,
please know TECSC and Good Shepherd, Summerville, SC have depended on your
prayers over the coming apart and the coming back together -- many years,
but the Lawrence church split away in 2012.

Thank you!
Ginga
