Status refers to the position or standing of a person in society. This position may be legally determined or the result of social attitudes.
[The Judicial Council has ruled that the General Conference must define the word "status" as used in the Constitution of The United Methodist Church. Where this definition should be added will be determined by the General Conference once a definition is adopted.]
