Dimissorial Letters
Dimissorial letters (in Latin, ''litterae dimissoriae'') are testimonial letters given by a bishop or by a competent religious superior to his subjects in order that they may be ordained by another bishop. Such letters testify that the subject has all the qualities demanded by canon law for the reception of the order in question, and request the bishop to whom they are addressed to ordain him. The plural term is often used of a single document because of the influence of the Latin term, since in that language ''litterae'', which literally means letters (of the alphabet) can also mean a letter (in the sense of message). Before the entry into force of the Code of Canon Law in 1917, the term had a wider sense (see tharticlein the Catholic Encyclopedia of that period). The conditions for issuing dimissorial letters were also different and were more complicated. Authority to grant dimissorial letters For ordination to the diaconate as a member of the diocesan clergy (i.e. at the servi ...

Episcopal Diocese Of South Carolina (1785–2012)
The Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina was established in 1785 as one of the nine original dioceses of the Episcopal Church in the United States. The diocese originally covered the entire state of South Carolina, but the western part of the state became the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina in 1922. In 2012, a controversy led to the existence of two rival dioceses, the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina and the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, each claiming to be the legitimate successor of the original diocese. Colonial origins (1660–1775) On April 19, 1660, a group from Virginia attempted to establish an English settlement at or near present-day Beaufort. Morgan Jones of the Church of England was chaplain and presided over the first Anglican services in South Carolina. The colony was unsuccessful and later abandoned.Philip G.

All Saints Church Pawleys Island is a historic church complex and national historic district located on Pawleys Island, Georgetown County, South Carolina. The district encompasses three contributing buildings and one contributing site—the sanctuary, cemetery, rectory, and chapel. In 2004, it left the Episcopal Church to join the Diocese of the Carolinas, now part of the Anglican Church in North America, a denomination within the Anglican realignment movement. The sanctuary, built 1916–1917, the fourth to serve this congregation, is significant as an excellent example of the Classical Revival style, adapting the design of the church's 19th century sanctuary which burned in 1915. It is a one-story rectangular brick building sheathed in scored stucco. It has an engaged pedimented portico supported by four fluted Greek Doric order columns. A Doric frieze, composed of triglyphs, metopes, and guttae, runs under the cornice around the building on three sides. The church has a larg ...
