A recently closed church property belonging to the Episcopal Diocese
of Connecticut will soon be leased to a local Muslim group as part of an
interfaith partnership.
The Diocese recently announced the
creation of the partnership that provides the Farmington Valley American
Muslim Center with facilities used by the former Christ Episcopal
Church of Avon.
Dr. Khamis Abu-Hasaballah, president of the FVAMC,
told The Christian Post that they are "thrilled" by the interfaith
partnership and plan to move into the Avon property soon.
"We hope
to move in in the coming weeks. Since we're leasing the facility, we're
keeping the modifications to the bare minimum needed to accommodate our
activities," said Abu-Hasaballah. "The facility has been de-consecrated
by the bishop and the altar removed. We are also relocating some pews
to free up enough space for Muslim congregational prayers."

The episcopalians sue, go to court with parishes that don't toe the line withe ECUSA's quack liberal theology and once they win custody over te disputed parish, ECUSA gives it to the Muslims? Perfectly logical...in their twisted universe.
Would they also consider the conversion of these former churches acts of "interfaith partnership:"
