The Grass Roots Church: "Mergers at the top are hardly likely to reduce the costs and duplication that already haunt Protestant policy. Nor is there any likelihood that a merger at the top will have more than an antagonistic effect on local churches. I am advocating a sweeping away of an already formidable Protestant superstructure. The renewed Church would seek to operate from a decentralized base. It would adopt a new polity forged by existing local congregations in concert with one another and a new specialization which would enable many acting together to accomplish what separated Christianity finds impossible to do.
