The folks in South Carolina are planning to re-elect him Bishop and re-submit him for approval. They are trying to play by the rules, even when the Presiding Priestess does not.
I hope, preferably sooner than later, South Carolina Episcopalians get out of TEC, assuming it remains unrepentant. AMiA, CANA, or just (temporary) independence (as painful as that is) is better than being under the control of the majority false bishops.
Perhaps Father Lawrence will move that direction—although it sounds as if he has practically had to vow he never will to TEC, in order to become Bishop.
