Decision Number 1479

Decision

When two or more annual conferences unite to become a merged conference, the delegations of the original annual conferences are entitled to select nominees for election to the Jurisdictional Committee on Episcopacy until they are replaced by newly elected delegates of the merged annual conference. The holding shall have prospective effect only from the date of this ruling. The decision of Bishop David W. Graves is affirmed in part and reversed in part.
