OTTAWA — The Supreme Court will not wade into a property fight between the Anglican Church and dissident congregations.
Four British Columbia parishes broke away from the mainstream church over the controversial issue of same-sex blessings.
The Anglican Church had asked the Supreme Court to end the legal squabble over who owns church properties and bank accounts used by dissident congregations.
The high court has granted that request by dismissing the dissident's leave to appeal.
As per its custom, the court did not give reasons for deciding not to hear the case.
The breakaway group has said it would vacate church buildings if the Supreme Court refused to hear their case.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
