United brethren in Christ, old Constitution

A religious body formerly a part of the United brethren in Christ (q. v.), but owing to an act of the general conference in 1885 appointing a commission to revise the Confession of Faith, Bishop Milton Wright and eleven delegates who opposed the measure withdrew and formed an independent organization. In 1900 the official reports showed: Ministers, 670; churches, 817; members, 226,043.
