Some Good News, at Last, for the Episcopalians...

They've certainly been thirsting for it.

Historic Ruling Halts Episcopal Attempt to Seize Control of Church Property

Virginia Anglican Churches Prevail in Court

FAIRFAX, Va. – The 11 churches sued by The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Virginia responded to today’s Fairfax County Circuit Court ruling that the Virginia Division Statute (Virginia Code § 57-9) applies to support their efforts to keep their property. The 11 churches named in the lawsuit are members of the Anglican District of Virginia.

“We are pleased with this initial victory today..."

I'll bet you are. This will most certainly be appealed but winning the trial assures the best odds going all the way. Godspeed.
