High Court Rejects Duncan Appeal

Lionel Deimel reports:

ORDER
PER CURIAM

And now, this 17th day of October, 2011 the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is hereby DENIED.

The order means that the stipulation of 2005 agreed to by then Bishop Duncan (and other defendants) and Calvary Episcopal Church stands, and diocesan property belongs to the diocese in The Episcopal Church. Parishes wanting to leave (many now claim to be in Duncan’s Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh) are to negotiate with the Episcopal diocese for their property.


The complete Order is here.

Now if only someone would take them to court for misrepresenting themselves as Anglicans.
