Amalgamation Near For Methodist Episcopal Church Union
A plan for reuniting the Northern and Southern divisions of the Methodist Episcopal Church was approved by Northern members and later amended by Southern members. The accord could unite the church by 1925 with merged general conferences coordinating missions boards and administration. The Northern General Conference meets in Springfield in May, with ratification by annual conferences nationwide. The plan preserves equality for black clergy but not leadership over white conferences. After merger, the church would total about 25,000 ministers, 44,000 churches and 6.2 million members.
