The opinion

CROW, Judge,

concurring.

As I understand the principal opinion, it holds the claims for which coverage is sought were created, within the meaning of the exclusion, by the Local Church in that (a) it adopted a constitution and bylaws authorizing the District Council to seize control of the Local Church’s property upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, and (b) the District Council seized control, claiming the right to do so on the basis of the constitution and bylaws. Having voluntarily placed the District Council in a position to do this, the Local Church has no claim against Ticor under the policy, whether or not the Local Church ultimately prevails in the dispute with the District Council.

That being our holding, I concur.
