Renumber ¶ 203 as ¶ 403 and amend:

[Last sentence] Such a society of believers, being within The United Methodist Church, and is subject to its Discipline, is also an inherent part of the Church Universal, which is composed of all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and which in the Apostles' Creed we declare to be the holy catholic Church. and guided by servant leaders, both locally elected and appointed by the Bishop. The patterns of organization provided by the Discipline for the local congregation and the authority committed to its servant leaders have as their chief concern the formation of Christian disciples throughout the congregation, in both their spiritual relationship with God and their walk with Christ in the world. ¶ 204.
