Methodists Unify Across Denominations In Major Merger
Columbus Ohio. The 19 day general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church adjourns likely for the last time in its militant history as unification with two other branches looms. The South church is expected to seal the merger before the next gathering. The conference also backs free speech for all church members and calls for changes in military related church roles. It opposes high school military training and pushes for a federal department of peace and world court involvement. It endorses wartime industry conscription and government munition production while seeking armament reductions.
