Episcopal Church Settles With 2 Break-Away Virginia Congregations

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia have settled with two of eleven break-away congregations that they sued after the congregations joined the more conservative the Convocation of Anglicans in North America. Yesterday's Anglican Journal reports that the settlement is with Potomac Falls Church in Potomac Falls, and Christ the Redeemer Church in Chantilly, neither of which held real property. The two congregations will make a payment of an undisclosed amount and will be released from future liability arising from the lawsuit. The other nine congregations, which are attempting to keep their church buildings and other property after the break off, remain in extended litigation. (See prior related posting.)
