Same with all Protestant splits to date. No, no, we're the *real* [insert name of previous denomination]s. One of the things I studied in Friends' youth preparation was the history of the 19th-century schisms and re-schisms in Quakerism. And indeed one of the Meetings I attended has just been kicked out of Indiana Yearly Meeting for adopting a formal statement that they were a "welcoming congregation" (i.e. supported members in same-sex relationships). The schism wound up being into three groups, at one point called "A", "B", and "Not A, Not B".
