Judge rules in Episcopal property dispute
A Fairfax County Circuit Court ruling Oct. 14 states that a parcel of property that once belonged to Christ the Redeemer Episcopal Church was in fact properly deeded to Truro Church trustees and, as a result, is covered by the Virginia Division Statute.
“We are pleased with today’s ruling, which found that the intent of Christ the Redeemer Church, a former mission of Truro, was to give its property, a parcel of vacant land, to Truro Church. This ruling confirms that Truro Church owns the land, and that it is to be considered under the Virginia Division Statute, which our congregations have successfully invoked in our defense,” said Anglican Diocese of Virginia Vice-Chairman Jim Oakes. Christ the Redeemer and Truro are members of ADV, the group that split from the Episcopal church.
