Open Conversation in Florence on March 17

The Episcopal Church in South Carolina (TECSC) will host a public Open Conversation in Florence on Sunday, March 17 from 3:00-4:30 pm at Cross and Crown Lutheran Church, 3123 W Palmetto St, Florence, SC 29501.
 
TECSC is offering the Open Conversation to provide information, listen, and answer questions about the life and ministry of our diocese and faith communities.
 
Led by Bishop Skip Adams of TECSC, the Open Conversation will include other clergy and lay leaders, including Archdeacon Callie Walpole and the Rev. Bill Coyne, Diocesan Missioner for Returning Congregations.

The event is open to the public, and will be of special interest to people who attend Episcopal/Anglican churches in the region, including those affected by the 2017 state Supreme Court decision to return the property of the Diocese of South Carolina and 29 parishes to The Episcopal Church.  

“We hope people will bring their questions and concerns to this Open Conversation,” said Fr. Coyne. “It’s an opportunity to engage with one another with an open heart as we walk the road toward reconciliation together.”

Information regarding the meetings is posted on the TECSC web page. For more information, view A Historical Timeline of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina and the Frequently Asked Questions.
