Perhaps a cash cow - our Parish had to buy back it's own property when it split from the ECUSA in 1976. There will be conservative Parishes that will pay the ECUSA to keep the property they already own - I think you can properly call it legalized extorsion.

I suspect that the Anglican World Communion could make a valid case in court stating that they have equal rights to the property of the ECUSA. A judge might force a settlement between the two.

I believe there is a legal difference between a group trying to take their property when they leave a parent organization, and a parent organization keeping their property when they kick out a division. Rightful ownership tends to go in the favor of the parent group.
