Now that PCUSA's congregations have won the right to leave the denomination intact, we can expect to see all of the remaining good ones leave that rotting corpse in the very near future.

Has that become a new legal precedent? I thought it was a case by case basis and just decided on the whim of a local judge, but what you say sounds encouraging. I was wondering of the timing of this (we don't attend there any more as we moved away but am following this because we still really care for that church.)

I don't know what the specific trigger was. My brother-in-law, an RE in a conservative North Carolina PCUSA church, recently told me about a standard established for a congregation to leave the denomination with their property. The standard is high, but the PCUSA's ever-worsening apostasy is making that barrier progressively easier to reach.
