Don't many of the Virginian Episcopalian churches have a good case in particular because several of their churches were established before the Revolutionary War, before there was a U.S.A.? I have read that argument here previously, although the legal aspects escape me.

The Virginia Anglican churches believe that their case is strong. Commentary that I have seen based on legal precedent is more mixed. Also, as you know, courts are highly unpredictable.

Truro and The Falls Church predate the country, and were deeded to the Anglican Church.

I don't understand how the Episcopalians think that they have title.

If anything, they owe 200 years back rent.
