San Joaquin Episcopal Diocese Sues To Recover Property of Another Parish

The reorganized continuing Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, California, continues to file lawsuits to reclaim property of break-away parishes. Episcopal Life reported on Friday that the diocese has filed suit in state court against St. Columba's Church in Fresno, one of the 40 congregations that broke away to affiliate with the more conservative Province of the Southern Cone. The diocese has previously sued two other break-away parishes as well as former bishop, John-David Schofield. (See prior posting.).
