“You have ignored our invitations to participate in a supervisory hearing to bring resolution to this, and all matters related to your serving in the office of bishop. You have failed to answer inquiries from me regarding the birthing of autonomous Philippine Methodist Church. And, you continue to defy the covenant that exists among your sisters and brothers of the Council of Bishop of the United Methodist Church. “As President of the Council of Bishop, I am still ready to travel to the Philippines to meet with you to resolve these issues. However, as you have in the past, you refuse to accept our offer or to be in the same covenant in which every other bishop of the United Methodist Church stands. We regret the turmoil your defiance has created in the Philippines, but until you give some indication that you are willing to abide byThe Book of Disciplinewe have no choice but to lodge this complaint and suspend you once again. “x x x x x x” (Emphasis supplied)
May malaking pagkakaiba at salungat sa pananaw o paniniwala ng iglesiya sa kanyang tagapanguna.Pangalawa, sa panahon ng nakalipas ng Coordinating Council ay may binasang pinagkaisahang pahayag ang mga obispo na na nagsasabing ‘wala silang tiwala sa Committee on Investigation’ ng Kumperensdiya Sentral. Siniraan ang mga kaanib nito at hindi raw nila matatanggap ang ulat ng COI, kundi bilang pagtutol ay iaapila raw nila ang ulat sa Amerika. Nang magbotohan, natalo ng may malaking agwat ang pahayag at pagtutol ng mga obispo! Gayunpaman, umapila pa rin sila sa Amerika, at di na naiayos ang problema, na patuloy na lumilikha ng malaking problema sa kabuuan ng iglesiya.
