Such classis may manage, sell or otherwise freely dispose of such property and apply the proceeds of any sale, in such manner as to it may seem best for religious uses and purposes within the territory over which it has ecclesiastical jurisdiction. If such property is sold by the classis, the sale or conveyance shall be as good and effectual as though made by the consistory, persons or body formerly holding the same, and shall vest in the grantee all the right, title and interest in and to such property theretofore vested in the church and its trustees, or in the congregation connected therewith, or in the persons or body holding the same in trust for the church, society and congregation.
