The General Commission on Alcohol and Drugs would be a small commission with approximately 25 persons and an annual budget funded by World Service. Its purpose is to call attention to the problem of beverage alcohol and other drugs and to assist local churches in various types of programs to help Methodists with this problem.
The structure of the commission would include a very small staff, headed by one executive, and a board of directors, which would be composed of a few persons from each jurisdiction. This general commission would not be as large as either the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women or the General Commission on Religion and Race.
