Whereas, the charismatic movement is often misunderstood and misinterpreted; and
Whereas, the 1976 General Conference of The United Methodist Church approved a helpful interpretive statement entitled "Guidelines: The United Methodist Church and the Charismatic Movement"; and
Whereas, this statement is no longer in print and is difficult to locate;
Therefore, be it resolved, that "Guidelines: The United Methodist Church and the Charismatic Movement," pages 1989-1996 of the Journal of the 1976 General Conference (excluding the bibliography, which begins at the bottom of page 1996 and is now out of date) be printed in the 1996 edition (and subsequent editions) of The Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church
