Montgomery County Court of Pleas judge heard argument today on a request for summary judgment brought by the Diocese of Pennsylvania against the Anglo-Catholic priest (and TAC bishop) of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont on Philadelphia's historic main line.
Judge Stanley Ott ended the argument by telling the lawyers he would defer his ruling for 30 days to see if counsel for both sides could agree to allow the national church to intervene in the case. Judge Ott's determination followed an argument by Brian Dickerson, Moyer's lawyer, that the National Church had a trust interest in Good Shepherd's property and should be permitted to intervene to protect that interest. The Diocese disagreed that the National Church was a necessary party but was willing to allow it to intervene in the case if anyone believed there was some issue where its views needed to be heard.
