JCM 1180

A district in the Northern Europe and Eurasia Central Conference has grown so much that it could be an annual conference of its own. But the Discipline is not exactly precise about how that can be brought about. This is a nice problem for the Council and they did a good job of sorting it all out. Only the General Conference can make it happen after the proper consultations show the requirements for formation of a provisional annual conference are met.

A member of the Council concurred dubitante. That means he went along with the decision but still has some doubts, probably not enough to identify them in a concurring or dissenting opinion.
