Text of: 31740-GJ-NonDis-O
Whereas, the Constitution of the United Methodist Church was the result of the action of the General Conferences of The Evangelical United Brethren Church and The Methodist Church; and,
Whereas, previous constitutions were also the result of previous General Conferences or their equivalent; and,
Whereas, while the judiciary component of our church structure is undeniably constitutional in nature, the Judicial Council is nonetheless subject to the law of the church as embodied in the actions of the General Conferences;
Therefore, be it resolved that as a matter of church law and official policy, the General Conference has (and hereby declares ) rightful authority to review, revise and mandate all disciplinary matters pertaining to the Judicial Council.
