The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia filed lawsuits
yesterday against 11 conservative congregations that
voted to leave the U.S. church and are fighting to
keep their parish properties and assets.

The Circuit Court lawsuits, almost all in Northern
Virginia, ask the court to declare the diocese the
rightful owner of all property, which is worth well
into the tens of millions of dollars. The suits also
ask the court to force the breakaway congregations off
the 11 properties, which they have occupied since the
votes in December and January.
