The latter appear to have been fearful lest legal and other difficulties (minority groups, for instance) might impede actual union by 1980 and so from the decision to fix the definite date discouragement and a sense of failure, they felt, might be the result. This reason for hesitation apart, the actual differences between the churches enumerated are to a very large extent irrelevant to the present general situation when so many have given up belief in organized Christianity and so many fail to attend any church.
