National church names South Carolina native as Legal Council
[Ed. Note: Hummmmm. Let's see now. There is a legal position to fill and my next "big adventure" will be in in trying to get the South Carolina Supreme Court to revisit their 2009 decision giving the property to the break-away parish of All Saints, Pawley's Island. Now that 90% of the diocese has left with multi-millions of dollars in property, perhaps they could be persuaded to review that decision. How convenient: a candidate for this position with ties to the state capitol's leading law firm and the Charleston Federal Court. Yes, hire him. Watch out, Diocese of South Carolina. A hurricane of untold dimensions and destructive force is coming your way. Cheryl M. Wetzel]
