Virginia diocese, Haymarket Anglican church settle property dispute
[Ed. Note: The date of April 30 for conveyance of all real and personal property from the seven parishes that left the Diocese of Virginia is now only 2 weeks away. St. Paul's Anglican has moved. Their new location is available at their website: http://www.stpaulschurchanglican.org/. A petition has been filed requesting that no property be transferred until the Virginia Supreme Court reviews the January decision of Fairfax Country Circuit Judge Randy Bellows, which awarded the properties to the Episcopal Church. To date, no hearing on the petition has been announced. St. Paul's Anglican in Haymarket and St. Stephens in Heathville appear to have settled and relinquished their properties to the diocese.

Released by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia
The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia and St. Paul’s Church, Anglican, Haymarket, have reached an agreement that concludes the property dispute which began in 2006.
Under the terms of the agreement, St. Paul’s Church, Anglican will convey all real and tangible personal property to the Diocese, with the exception of some items of sentimental value. The Diocese has made arrangements for the day school located on site at St. Paul’s to remain in place through a five-year lease. The parties have come to an agreement regarding the division of liquid assets, including a payment being made to the Diocese of Virginia and an amount retained to support the day school. The Anglican congregation will vacate the property by April 30 and forgo any appeal of the decision.
“We are pleased to have reached an additional settlement with a congregation,” said Henry D.W. Burt, secretary of the Diocese. “We wish the members of St. Paul’s Church, Anglican well in their transition, and look forward to returning the historic property to the mission and ministry of the Episcopal Church.”
