Subject: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM HOB TASK FORCE ON PROPERTY DISPUTES REGARDING OVERSEAS INTERVENTIONS
Re: Overseas Anglican Interventions in TEC
Dear colleagues,
The HOB Task Force on Property Disputes is attempting to catalogue all cases of congregations in all Episcopal dioceses claiming to be overseen by bishops of the Anglican Communion other than bishops of The Episcopal Church. This would include AMiA, CANA, Uganda, Kenya, Bolivia, the Southern Cone, etc. but not so-called Continuing Churches. We would like to have this information as complete as possible before our September meeting.
Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if you would provide the following information with respect to each such congregation:
* Name and location (city and state) of each such congregation
* Jurisdiction claimed
* Overseas or other non-Episcopal bishop involved.
* Has a non-Episcopal bishop visited this congregation?
* Status of property
* Whether the congregation was originally an Episcopal congregation
Thank you very much for your help.

I especially like this request: * Whether the congregation was originally an Episcopal congregation. Does it matter how many of the congregation were orignally Episcopalian? Does it take 50 to make it a former TEC congregation? What if there were only 40. (For lack of 10, may they go in peace?) 30? 20? Or are 10 righteous enough to persecute?
Thanks to Stand Firm
