My church left the UCC (United Church of Christ) a couple years ago.

But we paid off our building before we left the denomination.

I left UCC a few months ago because I could no longer accept having an assistant pastor who is homosexual. Also, it seemed like there were just as many if not more homosexuals than heterosexuals in the congregation.

“But we paid off our building before we left the denomination.”

This is a congregation since 1764. I’m sure the property was paid off long ago...if they ever even had a loan. This is just theft through legal intimidation, plain and simple, of the congregation’s building by the Episcopal Church.

The wicked witch of 815 says, as the song goes, “you can check out any time you like, but, you can NEVER leave!”

I do not know te age of the building and whether it ad been paid off, but regardless the diocese holds the deed in trust (even if the building had been completely paid for years ago).

That is unfortunate for these parishes faithful to the Christian Church and who refuse to bow down to Babylon the national Episcopal leadership.
