With the bishop's approval, the parish has come under the pastoral care of The Rt. Rev. William Skilton, Bishop Suffragan South Carolina (ret). He recently made his first pastoral visit to the parish.

In an e-mail to VOL Skilton said he had accepted the invitation by Bishop Hollerith to offer Episcopal Pastoral care to this wonderful faith community and look forward to returning in 2011 for a Pastoral Visit and for the Rite of Confirmation.

The parish will retain all its church buildings and tangible property with complete independence from The Episcopal Church (TEC). The congregation has affiliated with the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) under Missionary Bishop Martyn Minns and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) under Archbishop Robert Duncan.

The Glasspool election this past year was truly the icing on the fruit cake. Once again, The Episcopal Church stuck it in the face of Rowan Williams. He could only whimper that this would further strain relations within the communion. He wants The Episcopal Church to take a lesser role in the Anglican Communion. That will only happen when Hell freezes over and you know that won't happen.
