This edition focuses on the "Role of the Laity in the Administration and Governance of Ecclesiastical Property", specifically, in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Its focus is on what grounds, if any, exist for the laity and local church parishes to pursue legal action against the Church when it comes to disputes over Church property. The present study analyzes the development, in recent years, of disputes on the administration and governance of Church property by the laity and the avenues by which disputes may be resolved.
