Decision Number 1122

SUBJECT TO FINAL EDITING


October 30, 2009

Decision


A health insurance premium paid by a local church is not a compensation amount, but rather is a benefit provided by the annual conference to pay the actual expense of health insurance. The amount of health insurance premium is not an amount over which a local church has jurisdiction and is not determined by the charge conference. The bishop's decision of law is affirmed.
