From South Carolina-Could the saga splitting the local Episcopal Church diocese be resolved in 2015 after years of intractable theological and legal battles?
A circuit judge likely will rule soon in a lawsuit filed after two-thirds of area parishes left the national church two years ago. But her ruling is almost certain to face appeal in the coming year, leaving the $500 million question lingering: Who will be the rightful owners of millions in church properties, including some of Charleston's most historic houses of worship?
That answer also will resolve a key question for thousands of parishioners about whether the rightful Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina is the majority of parishes that left the national Episcopal Church or those who remain part of it.
