Blast from the Past: When Doing Right Isn’t (Pawley’s Island Case)
Our recent piece on Allan Haley brought up one of the more acrimonious subjects from the Anglican/Episcopal world we have dealt with: the All Saints/Waccamaw secession from the Episcopal Church, sometimes called the "Pawley's Island Case."

At Least George Conger Permits a Rummage Sale
This interesting tidbit came out during the last episode of Anglicans Unscripted: https://youtu.be/kY1UtXTJXXU?t=237 For people raised at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in the 1960's and 1970's (as George and I were) this has some historical import: in 1968 the Vestry was highly disparaging of Bethesda's rummage sale, which ultimately led to its end.
