Decision Number 448

Decision

The Missionary Conferences have the same right as Annual Conferences to ordain ministers. The affiliated relationship with a Missionary Conference authorized by Par. 691.4 is not the only way in which one may be a ministerial member of a Missionary Conference, but it is a way in which a ministerial member of an Annual Conference, appointed as a missionary to a Missionary Conference, may have the rights of membership in that Missionary Conference so long as appointed to it as a missionary.
