[Magdalen] Copes and Mitres Galore.

[Roger Stokes]

I am trying to keep up but I believe the current legal position is that 
the federal court, ruling on the trademark issue, has said that the 
Lawrence contingent must not use the name "Diocese of South Carolina", 
the diocesan seal used before the split or the Episcopal Church's badge. 
I believe a motion has been submitted to enforce that ruling. Some time 
ago the Supreme Court of South Carolina remitted issues in the State 
Courts returning properties to what has been hitherto referred to as 
TECSC (The Episcopal Church in South Carolina) to Judge Dickson to 
enforce. As Ginga implies he has been reluctant to comply with this 
directive. No further hearing on the merits of the case is required as 
it has been decided and simply needs to be implemented.

Ginga will doubtless correct my understanding if I am wrong.
