Conference Vote Asking for a Judicial Council Declaratory Decision Receives Support from Other Conferences
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
During the 2005 meeting of the Tennessee Annual Conference, a motion was passed that asked the Judicial Council for a declaratory decision on the meaning, application and effect of paragraphs 705.5.e, 705.6.a, and 706.1 of the 2004 Book of Discipline regarding the allocation by the Secretary of the General Conference of additional (at-large) members of the general program boards and general agencies. The Judicial Council will consider our request during its Fall Meeting in late October or early November. Last week a brief in support of our motion was submitted on behalf of the Legislative Committee on General Administration of the 2004 General Conference of The United Methodist Church by Rev. Dr. K. Edward Tomlinson, Chair (North Georgia Conference); Mary Brooke Casad, Secretary (North Texas Conference); and Rev. R. Carl Frazier, Jr., Subcommittee Chair (North Carolina Conference).
