They were united.

Then some came along and said, "You must change doctrine."

Then they weren't.

An ancestor church to the one I was in long ago was united.

Then somebody came along and said, "We're changing doctrine."

Then they weren't. The church still exists--it's got a congregation or two, instead of the congregations in every state and 30 countries--but it's somewhere to the liberal of Methodism.
