We have not yet decided what to do with the money. I simply asked him not to have a big public showdown with the rector over this -- which is what fighting this would entail. If the rector declares us to be a members not in good standing (and it would be me as well as Brian, since I have stated my support for him), that also would probably draw the vestry in as well, and I just don't want to do that right at this time. Which may be cowardly of me, but I can see no good and quite a bit of pain resulting from it. I don't think these are people who at this point can deal with polyamory as an issue.
Oddly enough, had this happened last year, things might have turned out much differently. Recently, though, the parish has had at least one officer resign, and parishioners leave, over the Gene Robinson ordination. They might have let things slide another year, but right now they are faced with people decrying them for their moral laxness as regards sexual mores.
A lot of how we proceed will depend upon how they deal with us in person at church.
