Lawsuit filed over Christ Church dispute
Thursday, Nov 15, 2007

New developments emerge Wednesday in the battle between the Episcopal Diocese and Christ Church in Savannah. The diocese today filed a lawsuit to regain the church property. It's asking the court to force the rector and vestry to surrender control of the church. The church itself responded Wednesday afternoon saying it's not surprised by the suit. Just a month ago, Christ Church joined a number of other Episcopal congregations that have defected since an openly gay bishop was ordained in 2003.
