I believe that we ought to rectify the weaknesses in our Church government by establishing the office of archbishop, an executive officer on a level with our judicial and legislative branches, who is empowered to give leadership to the Church on a day to day basis.

If the General Conference finds this idea of merit, let a committee be formed to draw up a specific plan, including the proposed scope of authority, duration of office, and eligibility for election, to be forwarded to the annual conferences for their vote in 1997.
