Amend "Continuing Membership in the National Council of Churches," p. 217:

...Whereas, the United Methodist delegates from each of the jurisdictions have offered distinguished leadership to the NCCC/USA, and successive general conferences have supported the continuing membership in the NCCC/USA since its founding in 1950; and,

Whereas, we congratulate Bishop Melvin G. Talbert on his election as President of the NCCC/USA for a two-year term, to be served during the coming quadrennium;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1992 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church reaffirms its membership in and support of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., in accordance with the 1988 1992 Book of Discipline (¶ 2402.2).
