Actually this is going to bring a huge question of property when you will see Diocesan Bishops try and take their entire Diocese lock stock and barrel out of the denomination. Technically the Dioceses own the church property. Individual parishes in heretical Dioceses are in a tough way.

I would agree confessing believing Christians in ECUSA are going to have to be prepared to part with their property in a lot of instances.

They have three choices. Split and fight them in court. Remain in the Diocese, throw away the word of God and substitute the word of some men and women. Or simply leave the church as individuals and retrun to the word of God where and when they can find it.

I can only speak for my own and my daughters family will leave the church undoubtedly.

Yeah, but what about heretical parishes with orthodox bishops? There are a good number of those. Here in Middle Tennessee, Bihsop Herlong is orthodox, but the majority of clergy are heretics (most parishoners are appalled at what was happened with Vicki Robinson, but as good, go-along-get-along-country-club types, they won't say anything.

Under rules the heretics have been enforcing, bishops should have absolute authority in their dioceses. Therefore, the othodox should take the heretics' property and money. Any bets on whether the heretics will want to change the law now?
