Plan On Foot To Unite Eight Million Methodists
Washington December 12 plan to unite 8 000 000 Methodists into one church after 100 years of separation was disclosed. A judicial council with power to rule on the constitutionality of conference actions is key and mirrors a Supreme Court function. The plan calls the new church The Methodist Church and was ratified at Cincinnati by the three denominations. Approval awaits general conferences next May for two and two years later for the Southern church. Local churches will ratify through annual conferences. It envisions unity of communicants worldwide with a 6 000 000 Sunday school enrollment and a large constituency.
