The denomination apparently controls the church's assets. Don't think for a moment the PCUSA won't come down hard on those who don't like homosexuals running things. It means leaving church properties behind. I sympathize. Some might say the church is just a building, and it is, but the members have had weddings, funerals, and other significant life events on those properties and might have spent decades maintaining them through their donations and work. Leaving is the right thing to do, but again, I sympathize. They certainly aren't going to get any sympathy from the pro-sodomite factions.

From what I gather, it varies from presbytery to presbytery. (Presbytery is a regional association.)

My brother tells me of a church locally who left for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (the current destination of choice), amicably and with the property. It probably helps, too, if there's a sizable debt on the building.

I keep hoping my father's and siblings' church, where I grew up, will follow suit.
