Whereas, the Council of Bishops has responded with sensitivity, courage and love for the Church by studying the issues raised in this ferment; and
Whereas, their study has resulted in a written statement encouraging local congregations to refamiliarize themselves with the "Doctrinal Standards and Our Theological Task" contained in The United Methodist Book of Discipline 1992;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church endorse the Council of Bishops' Statement on Wisdom; and
Be it further resolved, that the study of the "Doctrinal Standards and Our Theological Task" be made a priority during the next quadrennium.
