| The Sepulveda Unitarian-Universalist Society, based at The Onion in North Hills, is undergoing a crisis over a recent decision to sell church property to a senior-home developer. In Oregon, where the Roman Catholic archdiocese is in bankruptcy and its assets subject to seizure, the archdiocese claims that parish church buildings and land are the property of the individual parishes, and therefore cannot be seized from the parishes by the court ("Oregon Archbishop Resists Church Property Ruling," AU Bulletin, February Church & State). In 1004, the Fatimid Caliph, Abu 'Ali al-Mansur al-Hakim, ordered the destruction of churches, the burning of crosses, and the seizure of church property. |
