When moderate to conservative Episcopalians in the Diocese of South Carolina who have decided to remain in The Episcopal Church get their new bishop in the person of Charles Glenn vonRosenberg, they will be in for a rude awakening. He is not what he appears to be, according to some who know him well.

VonRosenberg was the Bishop of East Tennessee before retiring and moving to live on Daniel Island, a community in Charleston, in the Diocese of South Carolina. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has called him out of retirement to head up the rump Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina following the departure of Bishop Mark Lawrence along with the bulk of the diocese from the Episcopal Church.

Three former members (one holds a Ph.D.) of the Church of the Ascension, the largest Episcopal parish in Knoxville in the Diocese of East Tennessee, have very distinct recollections of vonRosenberg.

"He is classic passive aggressive," says Hank Bahr, 63, an insurance consultant and lifelong Episcopal layman who knows VonRosenberg well.
