[Magdalen] EC v. ED of Ft. Worth

[Ginga Wilder]

This USSC decision to reject the case will mark the path forward for
TECSC.  And, we in new missions and worshipping communities now know that
we won’t have our buildings back anytime soon, if at all.  That fact will
be hard for some to grasp, but I do believe it is the truth.   As I have
thought all along, these cases will not be settled in my lifetime.



Very sad, and all Episcopalians must grieve our loss, and then create a new
faith community, looking forward, rather than hold to the stuff of the
past.  That is my opinion.  History will happen, and at some point in the
more distant future, the Lawrence church may fail and their buildings, etc.
may have to be sold.


In these days of a dwindling TEC, not having the burden of upkeep of old
buildings may be a gift to fledgling congregation.  I do still want the
intellectual and real diocesan (not parish) property returned sooner rather
than later.
