Central Conference Recommendation

The following recommendation was made by the 2003 Session of the Central Annual Conference:

That the Central Conference ask the U. S. National Conference for permission to receive its four affiliate churches as full-member congregations with the following understandings:

1. That those members of secret societies currently on each church's membership roll be received as full members of that congregation.
2. That these congregations no longer receive members of secret societies into church membership.
3. That no member of the church who is also a member of a secret society shall be eligible to serve as a member of the Council of Administration or as a delegate to any annual, national, or general conference, nor shall they be eligible for any ministerial licensing.
