Individual Congregations Seek To Intervene In Fort Worth Episcopal Diocese Case

Virtue Online reported yesterday that 47 parishes and missions of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth (TX) have filed an Original Plea in Intervention (full text) in the lawsuit between The Episcopal Church and the break-away Diocese of Fort Worth. The intervenors seek a declaratory judgment that "in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, the title to the real property being occupied and subject to the control of Intervening Congregations is held by the Corporation of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth in trust for the use and benefit of each Intervening Congregation."
