Text of: 31605-FO-0-D

Add a fourth paragraph to the "Preface," page 84:

Nevertheless, recognizing the rights of private opinion and individual conscience, noting the Reverend John Wesley's caution against demanding uniform belief in matters which do not strike at the heart of our salvation, and observing that entire agreement to the statements and positions of the Social Principles are not required for membership in the United Methodist Church, the General Conference declares that the Social Principles are not to be regarded as the law of the United Methodist Church.
