Petition Text: 22198-CO-NonDis-O

Understanding Petition Numbers

___________________________________________________

Whereas, The United Methodist Church contains large numbers of the two major political parties as well as numerous members of the smaller political parties; and

Whereas, at one point, the General Conference adopted strained and unusual terminology that is the property of only one of the major political parties;

Therefore, be it resolved by the 1996 General Conference that the editor of the 1996 Discipline return its wording to standard English and omit such invented words now in the Discipline, especially "layperson" and "chairperson."
