The Committee recommends concurrence with a Minority
Report submitted as follows.
Keep ¶ 816 in its present form, except for the following changes:
1. Human Relations Day - a Human Relations Day shall
should be observed...
3. United Methodist Student Day - The United Methodist Student Day Offering,
taken each year, preferably on the last Sunday in November,
shall should be received...
5. Peace with Justice Sunday - Peace with Justice Sunday
shall should be observed...
Rationale:
This would give local churches the opportunity to receive these offerings,
without making them mandatory. This also preserves one of the best
opportunities to allow choice in the benevolences we support.
