ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF TEXAS DECLARES BANKRUPTCY
The All Saints religious congregation of North Texas, based in Fort Worth, has filed a petition for bankruptcy protection in the US Bankruptcy court. The reason for this was the ‘scorched earth tactics’, carried out by the ACNA (Anglican Church in North America).
The All Saints congregation has about 1,500 parishioners, and its annual income reaches $ 1.5 million. According to sources, the church is the most affluent community in the diocese, known as the Episcopal Church of North Texas.
The conflict between religious communities in the United States has been going on for over 12 years. It began back in 2003 after a priest who openly declared his non-traditional sexual orientation was ordained a bishop. Even then, the church lost two dioceses from California and Pennsylvania.
In 2008, a significant portion of the clergy and laity from the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth decided to withdraw from the church on the basis of dogmatic disagreements over the ordination of women and persons with non-traditional sexual orientations. Most of the congregations that remained Episcopal members changed locations after the schism, but six congregations, including the Fort Worth congregations, remained where they were.
The Episcopal Church reportedly lost more than $ 100 million of property, which was given away to ACNA, following a Texas Supreme Court ruling in May 2020 as a result of legal proceedings. The US Supreme Court refused to reconsider the case in February 2021. In August, the Episcopal Church agreed to pay the ACNA diocese $ 4.5 million to cover legal costs.

On October 15, ACNA representatives sent a letter to Frost Bank demanding that all accounts be transferred to it.
The management of the bank rejected the request, but the accounts were frozen. As a result, as noted by the representative of the ‘All Saints’ community Christopher Jambore, who went to court on October 22, a stalemate situation arose. ACNA refuses to withdraw its appeal to the bank, and the credit institution refuses to unblock the accounts. As a result, the church cannot collect funds, transfer them, and also pay salaries to the employees.The conflict between religious communities in the United States has been going on for over 12 years.

The ACNA, which emerged from a religious split in 2009, sought to unite the conservative Anglicans of Canada and the United States.
In April 2021, it succeeded in judicially evicting the Episcopal communities from the buildings they had occupied for the past 12 years. As a result, five congregations found temporary places to resume worship. The All Saints Church began to gather in the school chapel, located on a separate campus from the main community building, which came under the control of ACNA.The Episcopal Church reportedly lost more than $ 100 million of property, which was given away to ACNA, following a Texas Supreme Court ruling in May 2020 as a result of legal proceedings.
