What is odd is that churches outside the US can set their own policies and modify the Discipline for local conditions while the US can’t. There is no US-wide body. This leads the international meeting to focus too much on the US and not enough on international priorities. The proposal to give the US the same rights as Africa seems to have support from Africa. It looks like they would rather keep the church together with some US autonomy than split it. Of course without having a real vote, I’m depending upon press accounts that can only guess how much support there really is.
