Whereas, this revised Book of Discipline changes many of the paragraph reference numbers for information that is regularly used by many boards, councils, committees, agencies, and individuals to guarantee the fulfillment of their responsibilities; and
Whereas, a considerable amount of time is spent by individuals in each annual conference and duplicated by numerous persons in each annual conference identifying the reference numbers that have changed and locating the information pertinent to their responsibilities; and
Whereas, there is currently no prepared guide available for the changes in reference;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the publisher of each new Book of Discipline prepare a table of paragraph numbers that have changed from the previous Book of Discipline, showing the corresponding new paragraph numbers, and that the list be made available through the annual conference secretary.
