IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES.
RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE TRANS-
FIGURATION OF OUR LORD, et al, Plaintiffs, vs.
REV. A. LISEN, et al, Defendants.
No. 536, 524
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION.
Overton, Lyman, Plumb & Vermille, by Carl J. Schuck,
Attorneys for Plaintiffs;
Merton A. Albee, Attorney for Defendants Lisen, et al;
Haight, Trippet & Syvertson, and Ralph M. Arkush,
Attorneys for Defendant Metropolitan Theophilus.
This is an action for declaratory relief and injunction,
involving a determination of the rights of two opposing factions
of the membership of the Holy Transfiguration parish and church
in Los Angeles, to the control and use of the property of the
parish. (It will be referred to herein as "Transfiguration
Parish" for the sake of brevity). It is composed of adherents
to the Russian Orthodox faith and is a constituent part of the
Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church. (The latter will be
referred to herein as "The Church" for the sake of brevity.)
Counsel assert this is a test case for determining the status of
all the parishes, their property and their members, located in
the United States, who do not recognize the authority of the
present Patriarch in Moscow and his Holy Synod.
All parties profess complete adherence to the faith and
dogma of The Church and the court has no reason to believe other
than that all of them are sincere in such profession. None of
