The Nelsens’ model which is said to be closer to the Black Church may be called the “dialectic model” of the Black Church. Black Churches are institutions that are involved in a consent series of dialectic tensions. The dialectic holds opposites in tension, constantly shifting between the polarities in historical time.

The delegates to the annual conferences convene once a year. The base step on the connectional ladder, usually called the church conference, consists of all the members of a local church (Lincoln, C. Eric, and Lawrence H. Mamiya 69-70).
I do not agree so much with all the rules and regulations on how to carry out the church. They conduct business like this must take place to carry on a church.
