In Savannah Christ Church officials fight judge's ruling to turn over property to Episcopal Church

Leaders of Christ Church of Savannah are asking the Georgia Supreme Court to reverse a decision earlier this week granting ownership of the historic building and property to the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia.

Christ Church member and attorney Neil Creasy said church officials filed a notice of appeal Thursday in Chatham County seeking to reverse Superior Court Judge Michael Karpf’s ruling Tuesday granting the diocese “immediate possession” of the church property.

Creasy said the process should allow the congregation to remain on the property in Savannah’s historic district until the state Supreme Court responds.
