[The Living Churcvhg] 12 Jan 2008--Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell has filed a motion to intervene and a brief in the church property litigation involving 11 Virginia congregations where the majority voted to leave The Episcopal Church.

“As a matter of federal constitutional law, the Episcopal Church is simply wrong,” Attorney General McConnell wrote in his motion to intervene. “The Constitution does not require that local church property disputes be resolved by deferring to national and regional church leaders.”
