It appears to us that the site selection committee for moving the General Board of Global Ministries has not kept faith with the earlier study committee. In selecting Reston, Virginia, they picked one of the most expensive sites in the entire country, a move that seems designed to persuade the General Conference not to move the general board from New York.

We, the Administrative Board of First United Methodist Church, Niceville, Florida, do hereby petition the 1996 General Conference to reject this site proposal and to authorize a committee to select another site.
