Decision Number 245

Decision

It is the decision of the Judicial Council that the resolution to transfer and merge the North Carolina-Virginia Annual Conference of the Central Jurisdiction to and into the North Carolina Annual Conference, the Virginia Annual Conference and the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the Southeastern Jurisdiction requires for its adoption an aggregate two-thirds majority vote of the total of Annual Conference members present and voting in the several Annual Conferences of the respective jurisdictions. The failure of the North Carolina Annual Conference to reach a two-thirds majority vote does not invalidate the plan embodied in the resolution here under consideration.
