Whereas, at least three annual conferences have developed policies to address the issue of sexual misconduct in the church;

Whereas, Judicial Council Decision No. 736 deemed such policies to be inadequate and referred them back to the annual conferences;

Be it therefore resolved, that the General Conference of The United Methodist Church meeting in Denver, Colorado in 1996 instruct the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church to develop an outline for such policies to guide the Annual Conferences in the establishment of policies related to sexual misconduct.
