Church and state have always had a give-and-take relationship and that relationship was put to the test again in the April 15 opinion issued by Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Lisa M. Rau in the recent case Warnick v. All Saints Episcopal Church, Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Case No.: 111201539, 714 EDA 2014.
In Warnick, the plaintiff, the Rev. Jeremy M. Warnick, an Episcopal priest, brought suit against defendants comprising his former parish, All Saints Episcopal Church in Rhawnhurst in Philadelphia, the Right Rev. Charles E. Bennison (bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania), and three parishioners of All Saints Episcopal Church for claims more or less sounding in defamation and contract. The defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted by the court and appealed by Warnick.
