Presbytery Sues to Force Church Purchase in Jersey City
In Trenton a suit was filed by the Presbytery of Jersey City against the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity of Jersey City. The case seeks to compel completion of a church purchase tied to a 4,000 dollar price plan and an instrumental music restriction from a long ago bequest by George R McKenzie. The dispute centers on title quality and a historic deed that conditioned music usage, with the presbytery demanding payment and transfer of the property after partial sums were already paid.
