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.

Thank you both for your answers, and it was Truro and The Falls Church I was thinking of in particular. And it's true that courts can do anything they want, but ECUSA better have the deep pockets to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court.

Ah, well, cornered rats desperate to grab whatever they can probably will fight it all the way, particularly for such historic and prestigious properties.
