[American Anglican Council] 28 June 2007--The American Anglican Council notes with disappointment the recent decision made by California's Fourth District Court of Appeals in regard to church property that attempts to reverse almost thirty years of California law. A three judge panel reversed the Orange County Superior Court's ruling that three churches, St. James Church in Newport Beach, All Saint's Church in Long Beach, and St. David's Church in North Hollywood, which disaffiliated from the national denomination did not forfeit their property. The Rev. Canon David C. Anderson of the American Anglican Council called the ruling, “a bad judgment that flies in the face of basic justice, good standing law and good common sense."
