South Carolina Standing Committee Still Meeting

Kendall Harmon just emailed me (5.05 PM), the SC of SC is still meeting – dinner now being ordered in.  They began at 10.30 am.  Their topic: SC’s response to General Convention.  Our own Anthony Kowbeidu and Frenchie Richards are on the Standing Committee.  Please keep them in your prayers.

Here’s Kendall’s original post this morning from T19:

Today, the Bishop, the Standing Committee, and the Deans are having a meeting of real importance. This is a matter of public record and I take the call to pray for such meetings very seriously.

Here is a list of current Standing Committee members (Jeff Miller is the chairman). The current deans are John Barr, John Scott, Ed Kelaher, Peet Dickinson, Craige Borrett, Chuck Owens and John Burwell. I am quite sure Jim Lewis, our new Canon to the Ordinary, will be there and, yes, I have been asked to be present.

You all know we are not gathering to have tea and crumpets. There is no way we as a diocese can function in the way we have before. How to move forward–together–in a truthful, loving and godly way is the issue. This is a considerable challenge, but we worship the God who is able to do far more abundantly than anything we can ask or imagine (Ephesians) and God has brought us together now for such a time as this (Esther).

It would mean a lot to me if you could pray by name for the people in this meeting–KSH.
