I don't know. But it would not be surprising. The law that has developed since Jones v. Wolf encourages lawyers and their clients to take a shot. Quoting "Volokh, Eugene" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
A reporter asked me: "Is it my imagination, or are denominations
and
members increasingly turning to the courts to settle disputes.
[I've
seen] current disputes within the Catholic, Episcopal, Missouri Lutheran faiths -- and there are doubtless more that I don't know
about.
There are issues of personnel and property. Does anyone track
such a
thing, or has the issue been studied?" I didn't have an answer,
but
offered to ask on-list. Any thoughts on this?
