Whereas, the hearings used were tainted with unfair procedures, biased hearing officers, and inappropriate decisions; and
Whereas, Rev. Anderson does not ever want any other pastor to go through what she has at the hands of the denomination;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the General Conference request that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference restore Rev. Merrily Anderson to appointment for all of the time she was wrongfully removed from ministry; pay her full pastoral support based on her support package, including housing when she was removed from ministry; pay medical costs incurred; give pension credit for that period; and continue paying her at that level until she is provided with an appointment or voluntarily takes an alternative conference relationship.
