Va. Episcopal Diocese in Property Fight
William Etherington, a lawyer specializing in church-state law who is not involved in the case, said he expects that it will be decided on grounds of constitutionality and that it could have an effect that extends beyond the Episcopal Church. "The constitutional issues cut across any denomination. It's something that's going to affect, certainly, any hierarchical church," he said yesterday. "To me, that's where the rubber really meets the road here," he said. "It's a question of church autonomy."
