After working at home for two years, a delegation of women were permitted to attend the General Conference at Piney Green Disciple Church, November 1927. Rev. J.W. Raynor, Chief of the Assembly who did not believe in the women having a place in the church granted them the privilege of organizing themselves. Other churches throughout the Assembly began organizing.
