2504. Effect of Union--Nothing in the Plan of Union at any time after the union is to be construed so as to require any existing local Church of any predecessor denomination to The United Methodist Church to alienate or in any way to change the title to property contained in its deed or deeds at the time of union, and lapse of time or usage shall not affect said title or control. Title to all property of a local Church, or charge, or agency of the Church shall be held subject to the provisions of the Discipline, whether title to the same is taken in the name of the local Church trustees, or charge trustees, or in the name of a corporation organized for the purpose, or otherwise.
