On Tuesday, April 30, 2013 I took the day off work and drove 150 miles to the Adams County Courthouse in Quincy, Ill. to observe the trial between the Anglican Diocese of Quincy and the Episcopal Church.
Much has been written about the disagreement between the two parties, and how the Anglican churches in western Illinois voted in 2008 to severe ties with the Episcopal Church in reaction to what it regarded as TEC's increasingly liberal interpretation of scripture. The trial will determine who owns the Anglican Diocese of Quincy's churches and endowments -- the local Anglicans or TEC.
Frustrated at the lack of news coverage -- the press is ignoring the trial -- and lack of news from church channels on either side of the issue, I decided to go see for myself.
Following are some notes on what I observed during a day in court.
