That is so serious! Those guys are in it for a living; that’s their career; that’s their livelihood. I’ll bet they can sue over it. Hope they do.
Actually, they can't really and they wouldn't anyway--following the commands of St. Paul in 1 Cor 6:1-11, that Christians should not sue other Christians.
However, every one of them is being sued BY The Episcopal Church--which all over the country is attempting to take all these congregations' Church properties from them. These ex-Episcopalians deserve our highest respect and support--as they are willing to leave it all to be obedient to Christ.
