Just had a talk with my dad, who's an IL UM Pastor and a member of the Confessing UM Churches. He told me that this could be the end, if the Pennsylvania conference doesn’t defrock her immediately or the Council of Bishops doesn’t act soon this will split the church.

We also talked about the great possibility that we would probably take the conservative member churches of the Apostolic Church with us and form a new UM Apostolic Church, this would include the vast majority of UM Churches and some Apostolic churches in the U.S. (think Texas) and their churches in Korea, Africa, and England.

The Apostolic Church of England is a special case, unlike the UM Church, their hierarchy is quite conservative and their churches in the U.S. tend to be more liberal.

IMO .. that is what some want to happen

Also IMO .. it is very sad that they may achieve their goal

If you were to accomplish the formation of a new denomination I would hope you would scrutinize each applicant, on a church by church basis before admitting them.
