Church Property

This poll is relevant to the happenings last week in Virginia where a Fairfax County judge has given an initial victory to conservatives from 11 Virginia churches in their battle to keep tens of millions of dollars in buildings and land after breaking away from the Episcopal Church.

I voted with the 34% because, generally speaking, the denomination is at best only a mortgage holder in these types of situations.. and sometimes the mortgage has been already paid off. I think that local congregations should keep the property because they pay the mortgage and all of the operating expenses for the building. How would you have voted?
