REVIEW OF AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE RESTRUCTURING

South Carolina Conference, in response to JCD 1204, offered documentation of its corrections to the reorganization plan overturned by the Judicial Council.

Again, as in the reorganizations of North Texas and North Carolina, there is a measure of compliance and some things were left out in efforts to respond to the Council’s overturning of reorganization plans of various annual conferences.

Reorganizing shows the priorities of the bishop supervising the discussions about how the conference “should” operate more efficiently.

In this case, the committee on Archives and History was not honored properly, which is common among the bishops who believe in reorganizing. I believe that is very short-sighted and unhealthy.

In this case, missions is given short-shrift. To me that is extremely scary!
