Many thanks, I am trying that now. The law of Sanctuary/Asylum, is a medieval hold over law that some states just never got rid of. Based on the seperation of church and state authority, and civil authority did not have any jurisdiction on church land. Many of the states that have a more religious, or at least church prominent begining, originally held to these laws. In regards to that statute, I am a little confussed. I understand what it says, that privelegde is not honored in cases of child abuse, but what about the rest the law? I hate Missouri law. . .

Does anyone know the laws for Missouri? I have done a little research, but it is either as unclear and undefined as the Marriage ordinances, or I just have no mind for legality. Additionally, and this is more a personal interest, does any know about the Santuary clause of asylum, for Missouri? (That is, where a person can claim sanctuary inside of a church, and no one, particulalry law enforcement, can remove that person from the place. I know that that is still a little loop hole in North Carolina, or it was in 2000ish, and I think that is an interesting little piece of trivia.)
