Historia
The Commission on Church Union was established in 1948 by The Methodist Church. Its purpose was to investigate overtures and proposals of union or merger with various other denominations. In 1960 it reported to the General Conference that "... the time had come to move forward with a drafting of a plan for organic union.' The Joint Commission worked on the Plan of Union. There was a report made at the 1964 General Conference, but the final vote and other matters were referred to the 1966 special session of the General Conference, where it was accepted.
