To fully understand the separation of powers in our United Methodist structure and to understand the way decisions are made in our UMC church please read through the 100, 200 and 400 paragraphs found in the UMC Book of Discipline found on this link: https://www.ctcumc.org/files/fileshare/2016-book-of-discipline.pdf
