Bishop: Christ Church dispute will go to court (Savannah, GA)

Savannah Morning News ^ | October 8, 2007 | Dana Clark Felty

[PAR35]

A meeting meant for current members of Christ Church drew mostly former parishioners and other local Episcopalians to discuss the decision by leaders of the historic congregation to break away from the national Episcopal Church.

The bishop assured the group that Christ Church belongs to the diocese and the national Episcopal Church. But taking control of the building, endowment and other assets will involve lawyers, he said.

"(Christ Church officials) are in the building. Therefore, they will be in the building until this issue comes to the courts," Louttit said.

[PAR35]

The bishop is trying to drum up a congregation so he can mount a legal challenge for the Christ Church property. Apparently, he wasn't able to find many takers among the current congregation.

Christ Church left the ECUSA and affiliated with the Anglican church in Uganda to stay part of the communion.
