Big news just broke:
“Court records reveal that the Diocese of Los Angeles has won its case, on appeal, against St. James, Newport Beach, St. David’s, North Hollywood, All Saints, Long Beach and others. These churches were attempting to claim ownership of parish property although the Consitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church affirm that all property is held in trust for The Episcopal Church.”

Keep an eye out for the ENS verion of the story which will hopefully be coming out soon!
At first reading, it looks like a pretty thorough and competent opinion.
