Known for being a dedicated pastor-teacher, Lawrence also served, among many other capacities, the Commission on Ministry, the Standing Committee, the Board of Examining Chaplains, and rural dean.
He also served as a deputy to the General Conventions of 2003 and 2006.
He has published articles on devotional and ecclesial concerns in various periodicals.
Lawrence was known as a theological conservative in the Episcopal Church.
He had first been elected in 2006, but did not gain approval to take office.
His second election was approved following his reassurances that he would keep the diocese within the Episcopal Church.
He was the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina from 2008 to 2012, and of the diocese now known as the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina from 2012 to 2022.
He also has honorary degrees from Nashotah House (2008) and Sewanee (2009).
He has also received honorary degrees from Nashotah House (D.D. 2008) and Sewanee (D.D. 2009).
He has ministered in a wide variety of parish settings from suburban church plant, rural mission, inner city church, to downtown parish in California and Pennsylvania.
He was consecrated as the diocesan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina on January 26, 2008, after a second election.
In November 2012, under his leadership, a large portion of the old diocese withdrew from the national Episcopal Church to become an independent Anglican diocese.
They continued to operate under the name "Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina", whose use was disputed by the national Episcopal Church.
The Episcopal Church did not recognize this diocesan withdrawal, instead considering Lawrence to have abandoned the church and his position as diocesan bishop.
However, the steering committee of the Anglican Global South recognized Lawrence as bishop over a diocese "within the Anglican Communion" in December 2012 and recognized the diocese as part of the Anglican Global South in August 2014.
Such disagreements over Anglican Communion membership have sometimes arisen in churches undergoing Anglican realignment.
The status of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina has been the subject of multiple state and federal lawsuits, some of which are still ongoing.
As bishop, Lawrence opposed all liberal policies of the Episcopal Church until the final rupture took place on October 18, 2012, when the Episcopal Church found him guilty of abandoning the church and renouncing its order.
On November 17, 2012, a special convention of his departing diocese took place.
The convention affirmed disaffiliation from the Episcopal Church and amended the diocesan constitution and canons to remove all references to the Episcopal Church.
These actions were deemed ultra vires by the Episcopal Church and are currently the subject of ongoing lawsuits.
Lawrence attended the general assembly of the Anglican Church in North America in June 2013, where he was one of the speakers.
Lawrence's diocese affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America in 2017 and in 2019 began referring to itself as the "Anglican Diocese of South Carolina".
According to the official website of the global Anglican Communion, the independent diocese under Lawrence's leadership is not a member of the communion.
