The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of South Carolina — Kittredge, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

Summary

Justice Kittredge, writing a dissenting and partially concurring opinion, argues that the accession of twenty‑eight local parishes to the 1979 Dennis Canon created a revocable express trust subject to South Carolina trust law and that the eight non‑acceding parishes retain ownership; he critiques the majority’s reliance on Jones v. Wolf’s “minimal burden” language and the application of neutral principles.
