could you describe.... stepwise... if we vote to disaffiliate, what are the subsequent steps which allow us to stay in NewEnglsnd conf.

We would still hav to pay pastors pensions

yes

good description.

next... what do we gain by disaffiliating now? what does this ensure for us

can you ask every one to identify themselves.

can you give us sense of likelihood that New England Conf. will split on its own?

by the way, melissa, lola and Gloria are doing great job explaining the complicated structure of church.

ok. clear answer. thanks.

what is option of just staying in mother church..... but doing our own thing?

I have a concrete example re lated to twons

The unfunded liability as of 01/01/21 is $80511.00.John CardilloCFO/Director of Administrative ServicesNew England Conference of the UMC411 Merrimack Street, Suite 200Methuen MA 01844978-682-8055x110

If our church is disaffiliating because of the stand of the mothership against LGBTQ rights, does this allow the big church to become stronger in a discriminatory stand? Is our church creating more or less change in the stand of the mother church if we vote to change?

In New England and the USA how many people have been brought up on charges?

Lola and Gloria those were most enlightening answers

is the LGBTQ issue the only issue? or, are there other belief issues also on the table?

can you describe the vote process for next Sunday?

If we vote to disaffiliate on Sunday, can the actual break with the church be put off while we fundraise and consider financial components? I understand that we would have time before the final break must be made in order to keep the property.

Our current list of professing members is 62. Is it a 2/3 vote?

I’m sorry but I have to go. Good questions today, thanks for everyone coming

Thank you for that clarification

I would agree with Donna on this one. It will require engaging more people
