The Bishop of Upper South Carolina, the Rt. Rev. W. Andrew Waldo says he will support those parishes who wish to remain with the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina. He wrote a pastoral letter to his diocese on the crisis in that diocese. VOL believes he is trying to square the circle on theological and ecclesiastical issues that is impossible to square despite all the flowery language of inclusion and hope.
WALDO: Our scriptures call us to righteousness, fullness of faith, to love for one another and just behavior toward the poor, the needy and the oppressed.
