From ConnecticutFollowing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision this week not to hear the case of a conservative Episocopal parish in Groton that split from the larger church, Connecticut's Episcopal bishop said Wednesday that the diocese is trying to reconcile with the breakaway congregation.
The high court said Monday that it would not hear arguments about whether the Bishop Seabury Church in Groton should have to return property to the Episcopal diocese, which it left in 2007. The state Supreme Court ruled last year that the 136-year-old parish had to return the property — the 6.5-acre church site, the sanctuary and its contents.
Bishop Seabury Church was one of six parishes in Connecticut that split from the Episcopal Church of the United States after it ordained an openly gay bishop in New Hampshire in 2003 and elected a woman as presiding bishop in 2006.

Gladly TECHURCH WELCOMES EVERYONE (at all levels of churchlife)...many of us have known how to become tolerant of those who abuse us (for lifetimes)..it´s time for EVERYONE to adjust to tolerance and measure of understanding/responsible behavior toward all...all means all.
