Id. 91 N.E. at 351. We agreed with this rule in First English Lutheran Church v. Bloch, 195 Okla. 579, 159 P.2d 1006 (1945), where we said: "Civil courts will not review acts of religious organizations relating solely to internal ecclesiastical affairs for the sole purpose of ascertaining whether they are in accord with policy, discipline, or usages of the organization." Id. 159 P.2d at 1008.
