Decision Number 629

Decision

Par. 450.1 of the 1984 Discipline requires that the Board of Ordained Ministry make its decision on its recommendation to the Annual Conference concerning the ending or continuation of a leave of absence 90 days prior to the Annual Conference session. This at least implies that notification of the recommendation be given at that time. Therefore, the Virginia Annual Conference must provide compensation to the minister for the period of time from July 1, 1988 until August 12, 1988. The decision of the bishop is reversed.
