The U.S. Supreme Court today denied review in two related cases, All Saints Episcopal Church v. Diocese of Fort Worth (Docket No. 20-534) and The Episcopal Church v. Diocese of Fort Worth (Docket No. 20-536), certiorari denied 2/22/2021. (Order List.) In the cases, the Texas Supreme Court resolved a factional property dispute between a break-away congregation and The Episcopal Church. It held that using neutral principles, property of the diocese belongs to the withdrawing faction that affiliated with the more conservative Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.
