So, I may be just getting my hops up and being stupid, but there may be room for appeal on our church thingy.
The judge apparently used precedents from american cases involving the property of clubs, not canadian and british ones involving the property of churches/synagogues/mosques etc.
So, the fact that he used a foreign precedent is like, a good sign for our side or something?
The thing is, we don't have a lot of money. Like, our capital fund had under $8000 a couple of months ago. That is bad, because before all this crap started 5 or 6 years ago, we had multiple hundreds of thousands saved. This basically means that if parishioners stop giving money, the 5 clergy and all the office staff at St. John's won't be like, paid. That isn't good.
The fact that a lot of people are sick and tired and want to give up, and therefore do not want to appeal, or give money for the legal fund if we do appeal, well. yeah.
And it is just a building. Except how it isn't.
Bleh.
