Campbell Sends Reminder for General Conference Resolutions

January 26, 2010

Greetings!

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

With this thought in mind, time is drawing near to have all resolutions submitted to your Episcopal Representative. The deadline is January 31, 2010.

Paragraph 206.1 of The Book of Discipline of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church 2006 states that, “All resolutions, memorials, and other materials contemplated for presentation to the General Conference shall be sent to the appropriate Episcopal District Resolutions Committee member on or before January 31 of the year of the General Conference.”

Resolutions will be mailed or sent to the Episcopal District Representative and examined to ascertain if they meet the requirements and if they do not meet the requirements as outlined in the Discipline, they shall be returned for corrections.

Delegates and alternates should receive a manuscript of all resolutions on or before May 15 of the year of the General Conference.

Please consider this communication as a gentle reminder to call your attention to this timeline as well as these guidelines. Your service to God as a Lay person is highly appreciated.

Your Servant in Christ,

Barbara Christian Campbell

President, Connectional Lay Council
