Schori to Iker: All Your Logos Are Belong to Us
Katharine Schori has unhinged her jaw to try and take a bite out of Fort Worth - this time with a lawsuit filed by the folks who left the Diocese of Fort Worth, charging that the real diocese - the one headed by Bishop Jack Iker - is using a logo it doesn't own the copyright to. You can read the full complaint here.
Confused? Don't be.
Bishop Iker points out that there is only one Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, as the court has made clear, and the people who filed the complain ain't it:

It's preposterous because a “minority faction” – in the words of the mandamus opinion from the Fort Worth Court of Appeals – is trying to get a different result in federal court from the state court ruling, which clearly stated that their lead counsel do not represent the diocese, and the minority faction does not have authority to act for the diocese.

Having struck out at the diocesan convention and struck out at the state court level, the minority faction filed this new lawsuit in federal court over the same trademarks as in the state court case. It looks like they are shopping for a new judge. As to whether this new case will be a “game changer,” we are confident that the minority faction will not be any more successful in federal court than they have been in state court.
