The California Supreme Court (yes, the same court that dismissed the will of the people in Proposition 8 and forced same sex marriages on the state's citizens) ruled unanimously yesterday that, although each church held a deed to their land in their own names, three parishes that left the Episcopal Church over its policy of ordaining homosexual ministers must forfeit their property to the Episcopal Church.
OK it might have cost these churches their land still they did right. This reminds me of Gal.1:10; which reads Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. I would rather lose everything and have God pleased with me than please men. Good for these churches. Still it would have been better if this court had stayed out of this issue.
