The Supreme Court of Virginia has ruled in favor of the Episcopal Church in the state’s much-watched dispute over church property. But it’s just the latest ruling in what will continue to be a long fight.
Reversing a lower court’s ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court said that the Anglican churches cannot use the Virginia “Division Statute” (the state law governing property when “a division has heretofore occurred or shall hereafter occur in a church or religious society”) to file their claims.
But the actual answer to who owns the property is still a long way off….
I read this yesterday on line. What a nightmareish country! It sounds even worse than Stalin’s Russia or the Third Reich. Just unrelenting misery, deprivation and hopelessness.

Evan and Paula,
LOL. Just wondering: could it have been a Freudian slip?
