Whereas, the Rev. F.D. Turney was removed from ministry in a manner that demeaned him, violated the covenant between ministers, and was based on uncritical and unverified belief of accusations; and

Whereas, the interviews and hearings were tainted with unfair procedures, biased hearing officers, and inappropriate decisions; and

Whereas, Rev. Turney does not ever want any other pastor to go through what he has at the hands of the denomination;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the General Conference request that the North Alabama Annual Conference restore Rev. F.D. Turney to appointment for all of the time he was wrongfully removed from ministry, pay him full pastoral support based on his support package, including housing; pay medical costs incurred; give pension credit for that period; and continue paying him at that level until he is provided with an appointment or voluntarily takes an alternative conference relationship.
