CWN Editor's Note: Since 2017, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ have waged an unsuccessful legal struggle against the eminent-domain takeover of some of their property for a natural gas pipeline.
“In 2018, despite clear and strenuous objections, Transco/Williams seized our farmland in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, constructed a high-volume export pipeline through our property and began transporting high volumes of climate warming fossil fuels,” the Adorers stated recently upon filing a new appeal. “Transco/Williams, a private corporation worth $40B, has forced us to use our land in a way that directly violates not only our religious beliefs about the sacredness of Earth, but also our religious practice of faithfully stewarding our own land for future generations.”
