For example, in the Methodist Church, the General Conference Standing Committee received the Basis of Union in 1971 (revised edition) and, as authorised by the General Conference of 1969, commended it to all Methodist Church members for careful study and remitted it "as the basis on which the vote on union is to be taken".
The Basis of Union bears witness to this intention and stands in stark contrast to the narrow legalistic view which might be derived from the State Acts and the Constitution considered alone where the purpose might be thought merely to have been amalgamation.
The Basis of Union describes not only the basic doctrines but the sources from which the Church's teaching is derived, and it sets out the kind of authority which those sources have, together with some of the procedure by which the teaching of the Church is formulated.
