Understanding Petition Numbers

___________________________________________________

I petition that Part II of the resolution entitled "The Status of Women," pages 372-374, be rescinded and removed from the 1996 Book of Resolutions inasmuch as it contains unreliable data from the late 1960's and 1970's that have been repudiated by subsequent scientific studies, political and economic assumptions that are outmoded, and broad generalizations that lend themselves to misrepresenting the views of many members of The United Methodist Church. The entire document is so flawed as to require a complete reworking.
