Provincial Council Enthusiastically Welcomes the Diocese of South Carolina
from ACNA:
Meeting in Wheaton, Illinois for Assembly 2017, the Provincial Council unanimously voted in favor of accepting the Diocese of South Carolina into the Anglican Church in North America.
Delegates stood in applause after the vote was taken, and the diocesan delegation was officially seated.
After the vote, Archbishop Mouneer Anis (Egypt) addressed the council, and Bishop Mark Lawrence gave thanks to the Global South for their care for the diocese over the last few years.
The Diocese of South Carolina voted March 11, 2017, to affiliate with the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). The vote, which was held during their 226th Convention, was unanimous in both orders (clergy and laity).
