The Judicial Council ruled late last week that the SC Conference structure is now in compliance with the Book of Discipline.
The decision by the Judicial Council, number 1247, affirmed that “The South Carolina Annual Conference’s new Plan of Structure, as amended in 2013, is in compliance with Decisions 1147, 1204, and 1222”
The Council also added that “The 2013 Session of the South Carolina Annual Conference approving twin amendments to its Rule 48 has followed in full the instructions in our Decision 1222. We commend such full compliance and faithfulness in meeting the disciplinary requisites for its new conference structure.”
