Decision
A request for a ruling on questions of law submitted orally, but not in writing, during the regular session of annual conference is not sufficient to confer jurisdiction for an episcopal ruling on the merits. JCD 1161. The Bishop’s ruling that the “request for a ruling of law was improperly submitted because it was not submitted in writing” is affirmed.
