In reply to Sam Borgwardt.

They should have comfort that if their ELCA Church Building was not funded by the ELCA (and previous synods) … that the law would be on their side. Not a Lawyer, but l wrote the Bishop of my ELCA Family Church (that has left the ELCA for NALC now) that if they tried to seize assets (buildings) that my family would have standing in a court of law as we had donated the land, and help build the buildings…never heard a peep back!
