Claim filed to control local Episcopal Church assets

Claim filed to control local Episcopal Church assets

Local members of the Episcopal Church who did not break away from the national body today announced they have filed a court request for control of assets still held by diocesan leaders who have decided to break away.

The Allegheny County Court petition addresses "access to approximately $20 million in diocesan endowments and bank accounts, as well as other resources, some non-financial, used in conducting day-to-day diocesan business," according to a news release.

A majority of congregations in the Pittsburgh diocese last year decided to separate from the national church and chose Bishop Robert Duncan to continue to lead them.
