I understand this as well, and I disagree. The Law has been taken out of context. This is not a decision between the GVT and a church. It is a decision between 2 churches. The local church should not pursue legal action if they dont want to get the GVT involved. The Local Church invited the State into the issue. I think if you want to keep Church and State separate, then churches should not file legal procedings against other organizations/churches/etc. Short Answer: You DONT sue The Episcopal Church.
As it states above, the parishes AGREED TO ABIDE BY THE MOTHER CHURCH'S RULES, which include specific language about property ownership. When you start a church with a certain denomination, you have signed a contract with that church.
They knew the rules. They cant go against them now.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
