Traditions that name it as theirs

2 traditions name United Methodist Church as their own — an affiliation read from their records, not a branch.

What this means

Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.

Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch
