The relationships we share with these three congregations, as brothers and sisters in Christ, are more important than property. Therefore, we didn’t make property an issue.
–The Rev. Rick Irish, interim Executive Presbyter of the Presbytery of San Joaquin, speaking of the agreements reached with three PCUSA congregations who were dismissed to the EPC’s Presbytery of the West recently (and may God bless him and his presbytery for such an attitude!)

I’ll bet it would take more than a word with a dunce like that. Lord, have mercy.

He has been very vindictive. My former Bishop seems to be waiting to see how the other court cases pan out before he takes any action against us.
