[Virtue Online] 29 May 2008--A hearing will be held today at the Fairfax County court house in Fairfax, Va., to address issues regarding the constitutionality of Virginia Code § 57-9, known as the Division Statute. Members of 11 Anglican churches throughout the region that have been sued by The Episcopal Church and Diocese of Virginia remain confident that the Statute is constitutional. The 11 churches are members of the Anglican District of Virginia (ADV) and the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA).
According to Jim Oakes, vice-chairman of ADV, "We enter this hearing with much prayer throughout our congregations and thorough preparation on the part of our legal team. We are confident in our legal positions, and we look forward to the resolution of this case. Until then, we will not let the unfortunate distraction of the litigation hinder our efforts to reach out to those around us in mission and ministry."
