Decision
The action of the Africa Central Conference in ordering each Annual Conference "to engage in discussion, vote and tally of 'Life Episcopacy' in the absence of the presiding bishop and of any other bishop present at that Conference and under the presidency of another person chosen by the Conference" is in violation of the Constitution and specific statutes of the Church, and is therefore illegal and invalid.
