[The Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth] 16 Oct 2007--Over the past several months, a great deal of interest has been expressed concerning the ownership of church property in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. A fair amount of misinformation has been bandied about in various forums.

In the interest of clarifying this matter, I have asked the Diocesan Chancellors to issue an explanation that I could share with you. Their very helpful statement is below. If you wish to refer to our Constitution and Canons in greater detail, they are available in the “Documents and Publications” section of the Web site. Please share this statement with your vestries, as well as any other interested parties.
