Defeat of Constitution Vote Deepens Methodist Split
Dallas May 12 The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South voted 212 to 180 against postponing further consideration of a proposed written constitution. The document would need a two thirds majority to pass. An amendment to allow a definite bishop term was adopted 217 to 370 after eight years was briefly shelved. A disturbance over procedure drew a sharp reprimand from Dr G C French as delegates pressed to refine the document.
