Given the demonstrated
vindictiveness of --Schori and company, this is a principled act of courage.
The delegation released
the following statement:
Due to the actions of General Convention, the South Carolina
Deputation has concluded that we cannot continue with business as usual. We all
agree that we cannot and will not remain on the floor of the House and act as
if all is normal. John Burwell and Lonnie Hamilton have agreed to remain at
Convention to monitor further developments and by their presence demonstrate
that our action is not to be construed as a departure from the Episcopal
Church. Please pray for those of us who will be traveling early and for those
who remain.
The Bishop of South
Carolina is expected to release a statement shortly.
