Decision Number 1234

Decision

The Judicial Council has no jurisdiction to review a parliamentary decision by a bishop regarding the appropriateness of a recommendation made to the Annual Conference to discontinue a local church under ¶ 2548.2a of the 2008 Discipline. Any claims that there was a failure by the district superintendent to initiate a study of the church's potential was mooted by ¶ 2548.2c. The Judicial Council will not entertain any further requests by the Petitioner that we reconsider the above ruling we have now made five times. The Secretary is directed that any such requests that may be filed by the Petitioner be returned to him forthwith.

Beth Capen and Ruben Reyes were absent.

Sandra Lutz, first lay alternate, and Warren Plowden, fifth lay alternate, participated in this decision.
