Red Church Anglicans to be evicted?

From San Joaquin-

The Anglican congregation at Sonora’s historic Red Church could be moving as soon as this summer — the result of a legal settlement over church ownership.

Leadership and worshipers with St. James Anglican Church are finalizing the details of the settlement that will turn over the keys to the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, according to Fresno attorney Russell VanRoseboom, who has represented the Anglican diocese in the case.

VanRoseboom said on Monday that the settlement would be similar to an agreement between the Episcopal diocese and St. Francis Anglican Church in Turlock, which held a final service and officially moved on Sunday.

Both the Red Church and St. Francis have been involved in legal battles with the San Joaquin Episcopal Church over who owns the church properties. The churches were previously under the authority of the Episcopal Church, but their affiliations were shifted in 2007 due to ideological differences when the previous San Joaquin Diocese pulled out of the Episcopal Church and joined the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone.

VanRoseboom said a settlement over the Sonora church and nearby St. Michael and All Angels in East Sonora will likely include the Anglican group vacating the property by July 1.
