U. S. Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal of breakaway parish

The AP has the story:

The Supreme Court won't get involved in a dispute between breakaway Episcopalians and their former national church over who owns a California church and its property.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from the St. James Anglican Church in the Diocese of Los Angeles. It is one of several dozen individual parishes and four dioceses nationwide that voted to split from the national church after the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire.

I was hoping that the Episcopal Church would have had All Saints Long Beach's property returned to it before I moved from the area. But, they have been trying to retrieve their stolen property for longer than I have been planning my retirement. I will, unfortunately, be long gone from Long Beach and the Dioceses before this sorts itself out.
