[Magdalen] Prayer request

[Ginga Wilder]

And, I forgot to answer your question.  The mediation failed.  The Lawrence
Anglicans, those who broke with The Episcopal Church and have continued to
squat in their former church properties, will not/have not complied with
the SC Supreme Court ruling that the properties do not belong to them.
They have appealed every breath taken in the direction of implementing the
the SCSC ruling, and apparently, sadly the SC state courts are in sympathy
with them.  All the ins and outs may be read somewhere under NEWS on the
TECSC website ( http://www.episcopalchurchsc.org/ ).  This situation is as
convoluted and confusing as is Trump's Washington.

At this moment, we await the appointed SC circuit court judge to begin a
process of turning over the properties to TEC churches in SC.  I ain't
holding my breath.  This is utterly sad.

In the meantime, today I have been updating our parish directory.  We have
75 family units on our roles.  Not every one of them has transferred into
our church, but they do attend services.
