And what does property have to do with the exercise of religion. The congregants wish to continue to practice their religion on their own terms on property that is theirs by right and practice and was bought with their voluntary contributions.

The state has no business interfering in their affairs, and especially in their dispute with their bishop and presiding bishop who are openly defying the doctrine of the church.

Property ownership under law is the business of government. How, why, and to whom the congregants worship is church business.
