Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

In case of a division in a religious society, the trustees shall permit each party to use the church and property for divine worship a part of the time, proportioned to the members of each party. The excommunication of one (1) party by the other shall not impair this right unless it is done in good faith, on the grounds of immorality.
