[Magdalen] Copes and Mitres Galore.

[Ginga Wilder]

More and more the US 'anglicans' identify/have joined ACNA, the 'Anglican
Church in North America'.  They even have their very own prayer book now.

Tomorrow morning, Judge Edgar Dickson will convene yet another court
hearing in the slow moving process to return church properties to the
Episcopal Diocese of SC.  John and I will attend this session and our
priest associate is going with us.  J&I have made a commitment to be a
presence in these 'go nowhere' hearings.  We expect nothing to move at
all....I could be wrong, though.  The judge, IMNSHO, leans obviously with
the Lawrence church.

Our 2nd provisional bishop, the Rt Rev Skip Adams, will leave us at the
first of the year.  We have been blessed with two very fine provisional
bishops - the Rt. Rev. Charles von Rosenberg was our first provisional.  I
have heard the Standing Committee is very close to naming our next
provisional.  I bid your prayers for The Episcopal Church in SC (DoSC).

Thanks,
Ginga
