This map shows the division, by By ZACHARY TAYLOR AP Feature Service Writer NEW YORK, April 20.—The three great divi closed the books on more than a century of schism to form the larg- est Protestant group in the United is called The Methodist Church and it will operate under a new flag of democracy for Methodism. The first meeting of the church was held April 26 at Kans; City, Mo. The plan of union was approved. The 900 delegates to that meeting were under orders to make it work. United in the new set-up are: The Methodist Episcopal Church (northern), 4,700,000 members. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 2,850,000 members. 200,000 members, They give the united church close to 8,000,000 members, 50,000 church- es, and $800,000,000 worth of prop- erty. Instead of a strong central ruling body, the church will have six juris- dictional areas, called conferences Indeed, some have criticized that the union will be “six churches in- stead of three,” but church leaders say almest every one is satisfied. One Conference for Negroes Two big obstacles stood in the way of harmony. One was the negro question, which split the North and South groups in 1844. The new church meets this question by providing that negroes shall govern them- iselves as one of the six jurisdiction- |al conferences. It overlaps other {conferences. Some critics have call- ,ed this segregation but unionists de- |clare it is recognition. ; The other big obstacle was the |question of lay representation in 'church affairs. Up to 10 years ago the two episcopal groups were op- erated through small groups of par- |ishes called “annual conferences.” Bishops could serve preachers received their assign- ions of Methodism have | , conferences). new | The Methodist Protestant Church, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1939.

That was why the Methodist Protestants split off—in 1828. Hereafter, Methodist bishops will be elected to definite posts by a definite constituency (jurisdictional Laymen will have a voice in all conferences.

Douglass, secretary for Christian unity of the Federal Council of Churches, a spec- tacular point was that “it took only three lines to dispose of the matter of doctrine.” “The Articles of Religion shall be those historically held in common by the three uniting churches,” says the plan. Overlapping is no great problem, probably because of the 40-y -old agreement not to compete in ex- pansion.
