This just in from Virginia-
The Supreme Court of Virginia has reversed the ruling of a Fairfax judge who decided in favor of conservative Anglicans who are fighting The Episcopal Church for tens of millions of dollars of church land.
In announcing its decision this morning, the court panel didn't yet say why, which means it's unclear for a few hours what the next steps are. Depending on why the panel ruled the way it did, the case may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court or it may go back to the Fairfax County Circuit Court judge and stretch on for several years.
More will be release in the next few hours. The land dispute is part of a global tug-of-war in the Anglican Communion over how to interpret Scripture.
