The Episcopal Church and its allies in South Carolina have filed an appeal with the state’s highest court in its legal battle over a breakaway diocese’s $500 million property.
After being denied a motion to rehear by a lower court, The Episcopal Church in South Carolina announced Tuesday that they are filing an appeal against the Diocese of South Carolina….
“Their policy of using legal action to drain the finances of dissident congregations is not working,” stated [Canon] Lewis.
“It only deflects denomination resources from projects to promote the faith and speeds the downward spiral of The Episcopal Church.”
Read it all from the Christian Post.
I am surprised TECSC has asked the Supreme Court to hear the appeal directly. From my vantage, that is a good thing. It will speed up the process and bring finality.
