JONES v. JOHNSON

No. 16277.

353 S.W.2d 82 (1962)

Walter L. JONES, Appellant, v. Brunner JOHNSON et al., Trustees, Appellees.

Court of Civil Appeals of Texas, Fort Worth.

Rehearing Denied February 2, 1962.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

W. J. Durham, Dallas, for appellant.

Flowers & Flowers, and John Flowers, Fort Worth, for appellees.


RENFRO, Justice.

The appellant Jones appealed from a judgment which enjoined him from interfering with appellee Smith in the discharge of Smith's duties as pastor of the Lake Como Church of God in Christ and from interfering with the appellee trustees in the discharge of their duties as trustees of said church.

The appellant contends the question of who is pastor of the church is an ecclesiastical question over which the court has no jurisdiction.
