FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A years-long fight between The Episcopal Church and several conservative congregations has landed back in a courtroom in Virginia.

Several prominent congregations with roots dating to Colonial times, including Truro Church in Fairfax and The Falls Church, voted in 2006 to split from The Episcopal Church and align with a group of conservative Anglican churches. The congregations disagreed with what their members felt was liberal Episcopal doctrine on homosexuality and other issues.

In The Episcopal Church it's all about the money now. Not even a pretense of theology. Bishopess Cleopatra is unleashing her litigious asp on the unruly masses.

You would think that the original doctrine of the Episcopal Church would carry weight in this decision.

i beg to differ. Their theology can be found in the Democratic Party Political platform. It is the highest authority in the Episcopal church.

It's always about the money, and nobody wants to ever follow the money. Drives me nuts.

The Episcopals cannot afford this litigations. So, who's paying for it?

Who is funding TEC? Who makes it possible for Jezebel Schori to deny the Virgin Birth and the Resurrections, and still be bishop? Who loves this kind of anti-Christ discord?

We know who it HAS to be. Just get the 501-c3s donation list. We know who'll we find on it.

The Episcopal church is like the Church of England. After this elder generation dies they will have to close the doors.

Once the Church of the Elites that never taught Religion but a place to be seen is dead.

I learned religion,the Christian religion,in the Episcopal Church. That’s why I’m a Catholic now.

The Episcopal Church was once a great house of worship, but
the gays and the extreme leftist, coveting its refined nature, found it to be fertile ground for revolution and takeover.
It is sad to see such a fine church go down in flames.

I was once the senior warden of a very old southern Episcopal Church, founded in the 1830s.
It is all “Gone With the Wind”.

Yup——get the documents.

As the CIA says, the crooks always leave a paper trail.
