The records of the Minnesota Episcopal Area reflect the administrative duties of the bishop in charge. Bishops are elected by the Jurisdictional Conference. Episcopal assignments are determined by the Jurisdictional Committee on Episcopacy in consultation with the College of Bishops. Each bishop assumes his or her post on the first day of September following the Jurisdictional meeting. A bishop, however, cannot serve in an area where his or her latest membership was held. Bishops are set apart as a separate ministry to oversee and supervise the districts and charges within their appointed geographic area. The denomination authorizes these ministers to guard the faith, order, liturgy, doctrine and discipline of the general church. District superintendents are appointed by the bishop to help administer the denominational directives in specific geographic areas. Bishops ordain, consecrate, commission and appoint the clergy to specific churches and ministries under their immediate charge. Bishops are also expected to serve the larger church through the general agencies, boards and commissions. They are in many ways the faces of the denomination when General Conference is no longer in session.
The Washburn administrative records deal primarily with the 1968 Quadrennial Emphasis. Clymer's record focuses on the General Council on Ministries Coordinating Committee which develops the primary theme for the denomination for coming quadrenniums.
