The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decided on Monday not to hear the property case of Bishop Seabury Anglican Church vs. The Episcopal Church/Diocese of Connecticut.
Less than four of the Supreme Court's Justices were interested in reviewing the two petitions from parishes that lost their properties in state Supreme Court decisions.
