Join a 'Live Open Conversation' on Facebook Oct. 11

The Episcopal Church in South Carolina (TECSC) will continue the Open Conversation series with a Facebook Live Open Conversation on October 11, 2018 from 6:30-7:45 p.m.

TECSC coordinated this live open conversation in response to the three previous Open Conversations held in July in Bluffton, Conway and Charleston.

“I invite everyone to join me and four other leaders in The Episcopal Church in South Carolina for the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas,” said the Right Rev. Gladstone B. Adams III, Bishop of TECSC. “This is an effort to keep an open flow of communication among all the people who care deeply about the Episcopal/Anglican churches in this part of South Carolina.”

The Facebook Live Open Conversation is hosted by five panel members who will respond to the most frequently asked questions, as well as questions that can be offered online throughout the live video. The panel includes:

• Bishop Skip Adams of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina
• The Rev. Bill Coyne, Diocesan Missioner for Returning Congregations
• Hillery Douglas of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Charleston and a member of Diocesan Council
• Andrea McKellar, Diocesan Ministry Developer
• Archdeacon Callie Walpole, staff member at the Diocesan Office and Grace Church Cathedral

“My hope is that this conversation and events like it will provide pathways for the Holy Spirit to act through open hearts and minds, to bring about the highest degree of reconciliation possible ‘on earth as it is in heaven,’” Bishop Adams said.  

To view the live open conversation and engage with the panel, visit the TECSC Facebook page: facebook.com/episcopalchurchsc.
