Whereas, United Methodists are committed to working cooperatively with a variety of ecumenical ministries of compassion and/or proclamation; and
Whereas, the funding for such ministries, as well as United Methodist ministries, is limited;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the General Board of Global Ministries be instructed to make available all monies given in grants to groups and/or organizations which are non-Church related in their nature and purpose, and that such funds be re-allocated to ministries of compassion and/or proclamation which are unapologetically Church related. All such funds which are made available by the General Board of Global Ministries for re-allocation shall be certified by the General Council on Finance and Administration and duly audited and reported to the General Conference quadrennially.
