2403. Commission on Pan-Methodist Cooperation--Given the historical relationship and shared traditions of the denominations of the Wesleyan tradition called Methodists in America, there shall be a Commission on Pan-Methodist Cooperation developed jointly with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The representatives from The United Methodist Church shall be named by the Council of Bishops. Each delegation shall consist of six members: two bishops, a layman and a laywoman, a young adult and at least one other member of the clergy. The Commission on Pan-Methodist Cooperation shall work to define, determine, plan, and, in cooperation with established agencies of the several denominations, execute activities to foster meaningful cooperation among the four Methodist denominations in the collaboration. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, evangelism, missions, publications, social concerns, and higher education. Each denomination will pay the expenses of its delegation to participate in commission affairs.
