Decision Number 1090

Decision

The proposed petitions referred to the Judicial Council seek to mandate membership of the General Conference and/or boards and agencies. The petitions related either to disabled persons, youth on all boards, Central Conference members on boards, youth or young adults as General Conference delegates, or youth from Central Conferences as delegates to General Conference. All these petitions, if adopted, would guarantee a preferred status and are therefore unconstitutional.

Shamwange P. Kyungu was absent. C. Rex Bevins, the first clergy alternate, participated in this decision.
