[Anglican Mainstream] 21 Feb 2009--The Episcopal Church’s (TEC) official party organ, Episcopal News Service, has announced that TEC has opened up yet another litigation effort, this time joining the local Pittsburgh revisionist leaders in the ongoing lawsuit against Bishop Duncan. This allows TEC to help the Pittsburgh battle with the millions of dollars in their litigation war chest.
Litigation also continues in Colorado Springs, as the Diocese of Colorado battles the congregation of Grace Church & St. Stephen’s over ownership of the buildings and grounds of the parish. According to TEC’s theory referencing the so-called Dennis Canon, if you incorporated a small church and began worshipping in your living room, and then in time bought a piece of property with church members’ money, then built a building (paid for again with local church members’ money), and if you affiliated that congregation with the Episcopal Church, then if you decided to leave TEC as a congregation, TEC would sue you and assert in a court of law that they own your property, and that you kept it looking lovely on behalf of TEC, since you only hold it in trust for TEC.
