...example of Protestant church democracy. Last fall a group of about 100 conservative ministers and laymen began meeting monthly in the Presbyterian headquarters city of Philadelphia to discuss denominational issues. In April they drafted an anti-COCU motion arguing, among other things, that the union plan was trying to meld "irreconcilable viewpoints" among the participating churches and was threatening the self-determination of local congregations.
