Diocese of San JoaquinThe U.S. Episcopal Church has sued to take church property back from the rebel Diocese of San Joaquin.

In the 30-page lawsuit filed this week in Fresno County Superior Court, the church argues that last year’s vote by 42 of 48 parishes to leave the national church doesn’t entitle them to keep any property.
