- Summary
- The "contagious disease of intradenominational quarreling" has brought the United Methodist Church to this critical time of institutional stress fracture. Lyle Schaller offers a diagnosis of a dysfunctional denominational system and a culture of mistrust. Looking beneath flash-point arguments that polarize and cause an impasse in communication, he recognizes that the most difficult step in the process is to gain agreement on what are the non-negotiable issues in the disagreements and has recruited a number of committed individuals for the task ahead.
