Being a co-op, it is owned and run by its members, most of whom note who is running in the elections for its board each year and then don't bother to vote.</span></p></div><div style="outline:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;float:none!important"><p style="outline:0px;margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;background-image:none;float:none!important"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">So far, that's worked.

Is it a problem if there are a bunch of Methodists or Wiccans on the board?

The co-op's personnel policies have always been rather inclusive of nearly any lifestyle choice. Christ Church not so much. There's concern that a fourth member on the seven-member board from Christ Church might want to change those personnel policies, among other things.</span></p></div><div style="outline:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px;float:none!important"><p style="outline:0px;margin:10px 0px 0px;padding:0px;background-image:none;float:none!important"><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">It's almost like Monsanto, that company of caustic chemicals and genetically modified seeds for corporate farms, suddenly had three affiliates on the co-op board.
