Whereas, the 1992 General Conference directed a site committee to recommend, not select, a site for the General Board of Global Ministries, with plans and all funding sources, this leaves the final decision on whether to move up to the 1996 General Conference;

Whereas, the advantages of remaining in New York, missional, financial, convenience, and inclusiveness, outweigh those of other possible sites;

Whereas, it will cost 30 to 40 million dollars for an unnecessary move, especially in a time of limited economic resources;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the General Conference keep the headquarters of the General Board of Global Ministries in New York City.
