The church’s laws are broad but they are there, and beyond these lines you cannot go. Crossing boundaries has consequences.
My measured response to this is: You have got to be kidding me. You're willing to jettison the creeds, Scripture, and a 2,000-year-old tradition of Christian ethics, but you start getting strict with regard to property ownership? Lady, do you have any sense of irony at all?
God help The Episcopal Church. I mean that quite literally.
(For casual readers; I'm a member of said church, so I'm allowed to say stuff like that.)

The breakaway congregations wish to subordinate themselves to an African prelate who supports the jailing of homosexuals. Can this separation be anything but an act of barely-concealed bigotry?
Chin up:
A voice says, ‘Cry out!’
And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’
All people are grass,
their constancy is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand for ever.
