[Episcopal News Service] 19 Apr 2007--The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina decided April 17 to begin a process it hopes will lead to the re-election of the Very Rev. Mark Lawrence as its next bishop.

Lawrence, 56, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Parish, in Bakersfield, California, in the Diocese of San Joaquin, was elected on the first ballot September 16.

On March 15, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori declared Lawrence's election "null and void" due to problems with the form in which consents were submitted from several dioceses.
