Preparations Underway for Possible Effects From Hurricane Dorian

Bishop Skip Adams, the diocesan staff, and our Diocesan Disaster Coordinator the Rev. Fred Thompson are all monitoring Hurricane Dorian. With a mandatory evacuation ordered along the South Carolina coast beginning at noon Monday, September 2, the Diocesan Office will be operating on a modified schedule, allowing staff to work remotely and flexibly while they continue to keep in touch and pass along information. 

Members of diocesan staff had their first online check-in meetings with Episcopal Relief & Development on Sunday, and will continue these daily along with diocesan personnel in the dioceses that expect to feel the effects of the storm. The organization is coordinating daily check-ins, with prayers and status updates, for these dioceses until they are no longer needed.

TECSC staff also has a check-in system so we will be staying connected each day with the clergy and leaders of all our congregations. The first daily check-in call was held today, and these will continue until no longer needed.

Bishop Adams has also been in communication with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry who has expressed his care and concern for all in the path of Hurricane Dorian.

Please watch our website and Facebook page for updates, and continue to pray for everyone in the path of the storm, and for all those who are working to provide care, safety and assistance. ​
