(12,799 posts)38. That would be my answer as well.
The (paraphrased) answer I received from one reconciling Methodist was, "We're trying to figure out how to not pay apportionments." That answer seemed to me to concede the point.
The same Methodist and I both believe that an institutional rift in the church is imminent. I think this is how denominations procreate.
