Whereas, the technological advances of the computer age have made trans-world communication and networking a commonplace fixture for millions of world citizens, including many United Methodists; and

Whereas, many United Methodist pastors, local churches, annual conferences, and United Methodist agencies have already begun participating on the Internet and/or on national on-line services such as America Online or CompuServe; and

Whereas, since Rev. David Mullens, a member of the North Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church, has already created an unofficial home page of exceptional quality on the Internet;

Be it therefore resolved, that The United Methodist Church establish an official home page on the Internet; and

Be it further resolved, that since Rev. David Mullens has already created an unofficial home page on the Internet, he be authorized to make it an official home page subject to regular review and monitoring by the General Commission on Communication (GCOC), in accordance with ¶¶ 1901-1908 of The Book of Discipline (1992).
