When the Church Hurts the Widow: The Story of Dena Arrison

James 1:27 says that true religion means caring for widows in their time of need. But what happens when a powerful church does the opposite?
This video tells the heartbreaking story of Dena Arrison, a 74-year-old widow and former farmer in New Jersey, who says her land and livelihood were stolen by Princeton Theological Seminary, part of the Presbyterian Church. After agreeing to donate her 22-acre farm at a steep discount, Dena was evicted, left with nothing, and hit with over $550,000 in IRS penalties—all because the seminary failed to file proper paperwork.
Dena’s story raises serious questions:
🔹 What happened to the promises made to her?
🔹 Why did lawyers refuse to help?
🔹 How did a religious institution get away with this?
With a court hearing scheduled for August 15, 2025, Dena is still fighting for justice—and her voice may soon be silenced by a proposed gag order.
📖 This is more than a legal case. It’s a test of our faith and what we believe the Church should stand for.
