Good for them. I will pray that both congregations stay strong and know that other Christians are standing with them.

Both congregations also predate the Revolutionary War, with Truro Parish being established in 1732 and The Falls Church’s first building completed in 1734.

Forgive me for asking an ignorant question, but does this mean it will be easier for them to keep their buildings and property?

It's not just the loss of The Falls Church and Truro but the loss of all the other churches spawned by these two, including Church of the Apostles in Fairfax. (My family attends this church, and we are voting members of the congregation.)

Apostles has $1.5 million in pledges and plate support, although this number has been steadily dropping (as has the attendance and membership) since the General Convention in 2003.
