Va. high court rules against Anglican breakaway churches, but dispute isn’t over
Virginia’s Supreme Court struck a blow to Anglican conservatives Thursday, ruling against nine congregations who split from the Episcopal Church after it installed an openly gay bishop.
At issue are tens of millions of dollars of church property and symbolic momentum for dueling movements in the Anglican Communion.
Many suspect that fundamentalist social conservatives and theocrats like H. Ahmanson and others are the motive power behind the breakaway of the conservative Anglicans, if so this will certainly tweak their noses.
