Diocesan Deputation Represents South Carolina at 81st General Convention

6/23/2024

Bishop Ruth Woodliff-Stanley and our full diocesan deputation are in Louisville, Kentucky, for the 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church. Legislative sessions began today after an opening Eucharist, and will continue through Friday. It is a joy to be together with representatives of more than 100 other dioceses of The Episcopal Church, including this year, the Diocese of Cuba! Please pray for the Houses of Bishops and Deputies this week as they consider the important issues facing the church.

Andrea McKellar, St. Stephen's, Charleston
Deb Harris, Holy Cross Faith Memorial, Pawleys Island
Sarah Tipton, Grace Church Cathedral, Charleston
Josh Bullock, Holy Cross Faith Memorial, Pawleys Island
Brent Watts (alternate), Holy Cross Faith Memorial, Pawleys Island

Deputies in the clergy order are:

The Rev. Adam Shoemaker, St. Stephen's, Charleston
The Rev. Cn. Wilmot Merchant, St. Stephen's, North Myrtle Beach
The Rev. Cn. Ramelle McCall, Diocesan Staff
The Rev. Bill Coyne, St. Stephen's, Charleston
The Very Rev. Roy Tripp (alternate), St. Mark's, Port Royal.

We are grateful for their willingness to serve our diocese and The Episcopal Church this week at this important triennial gathering.

The Revs. Michael Crandall and Philip Linder of The Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina

The congregation of St. George's, Summerville, welcomed the Rev. Deacon Michael Crandall for his first Sunday on June 2, 2024. He is currently serving as deacon-in-charge until his ordination to the priesthood on October 26, when he will offically become rector of this beloved congregation.

Deacon Crandall preached at both services on Sunday, at 8 am and 10:30 am, while the Rev. Canon Philip Linder served as celebrant. After the service, the congregation celebrated the arrival of their new leader and his family with a delicious cookout. We pray for every blessing on this wonderful new ministry! Check out the introductory message Crandall shared with his congregation at this link.
