Methodists debate shrinking general conference size
In Baltimore on May 9 the first resolution to cut the Methodist general conference to 600 delegates was referred to the temporal economy committee. Lincoln proposed a 600-member body split evenly between ministers and lay members, while an effort to reopen executive session access was defeated, ensuring secrecy at episcopacy committee meetings. Bishop Burt reported four years of work and condemned Roman Catholic and Greek churches as degenerating evangelical spirit.
