1Opinion of the Court
IRWIN, Vice Chief Justice.
This is the second time this controversy has been considered by this Court. In both instances, appellant, New Hope Assembly of God Church of Norman (New Hope), appealed from a summary judgment permanently enjoining it from using the term “Assembly of God” in its name. The litigation arose after the General Council of the Assemblies of God, Inc. and the Oklahoma District Council of the Assemblies of God of the State of Oklahoma, Inc., (District), withdrew recognition of New Hope as an affiliated member and New Hope continued to use its previously adopted name.
