Leadership statement from All Saints, Pawley Island following parish vote to affiliate with the ACNA


This past Monday night the parish of All Saints Church in Pawleys Island voted to disaffiliate with the AMiA and to affiliate with the ACNA. On November 6, 2012 the Rector and Sr. Warden of All Saints issued the following joint statement. Your prayers are asked for all involved, in what is a difficult and painful time. 

STATEMENT FROM ALL SAINTS CHURCH

 November 6, 2012

 It’s a new chapter in the long history of All Saints Church, Waccamaw.

 The work before us today, as we see it, is that we all need to look to the Lord.

 He is in control, and He has a plan that is far beyond what we can imagine.

 Right now, of course, there are all sorts of emotions and feelings among the people of All Saints.

 That’s why we need, each and every one, to turn to the Lord and follow His guidance in healing broken relationships.

 For those who feel truly called to serve God through the Anglican Mission, and who cannot do so as part of the Anglican Church in North America, we pray that they are able to continue in the important Kingdom work to which the Lord has called them, and where there is a parting, let us part in peace.

 Martha Lachicotte, Sr. Warden
The Rev. Rob Grafe, Rector
