Open Conversation offered July 11 in Beaufort

The Episcopal Church in South Carolina will host a public Open Conversation in Beaufort on Thursday, July 11 from 6:00-7:30 pm at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 157 Ladys Island Drive, Beaufort SC 29907.

Like our previous Open Conversations, this is an opportunity to invite people you know who have questions about The Episcopal Church in South Carolina. Use this flyer to spread the word.

TECSC is offering this 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 encourage people in parishes who are affected by the court ruling to bring their questions and concerns to this Open Conversation,” said Fr. Coyne. “This is 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.
