A Guide to Church Property Law: Second Edition (Hardback)  

By Lloyd J. Lunceford, Ed.

Conflict over property is as old as the Bible itself.  Wisdom acknowledges the problem and seeks equitable solutions.  This book has been prepared in recognition of the growing conflict in Protestant hierarchical denominations – particularly Presbyterian, Methodist and Episcopal – over the use and control of local church property.  Recent court decisions in the United States have generated significant publicity and concern, prompting many congregations to seek review of the status of their local church property.

This book seeks to address some of their questions: 

  • Who is the owner, or real title-holder in interest, of local church property in Hierarchical denominations? 
  • Does a trust attach to local church property in favor of the national denomination, as some denominational constitutions assert? 
  • Is any such trust valid or revocable under state law? 

This practical guide seeks to help local church ministers and officers – elders, vestrymen and women, administrative board members and trustees – as well as local or regional church legal counsel.

This title is now available as an e-book for Amazon's Kindle
