Whereas, in the 1980's the U.S. Congress made mandatory retirement ages illegal in the USA; and

Whereas, virtually all organizations across the country have complied, including academic institutions; and

Whereas, justice issues are involved around "ageism" or age discrimination in these matters;

Be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church remove all mandatory retirement age requirements for clergy, including Bishops, and for all other employees of the church to be implemented with deliberate speed.
