In fact, the judgements ARE dischargable in bankruptcy. They are a simple civil judgements.
They were issued against the church and 3 individuals. They could file a chapter 13, and attempt to convert it to a chapter7, but full disclosure of assets will have to be determined. Of course, it would be easy to request an appeal.
The State of Maryland also has homestead exemptions.
Collecting will be difficult, but not impossible.

the common problem is that many states limit the time to collect. Like you get 2 10 year periods in CA.
