Bishop Webb issues new call for special session
Bishop Mark J. Webb has announced that a special session of the Annual Conference will be convened as outlined in The Book of Discipline, paragraph 603.5. The purpose and call of the special session is to discuss and vote on a recommendation from the Conference Board of Trustees to purchase the property located at 7481 Henry Clay Blvd. in Liverpool as a new Conference Center. The special session will be held from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014, in the Ballroom at the OnCenter (800 S. State St., Syracuse). As stated in paragraph 603.5, "a special session of the annual conference shall have only such powers as are stated in the call."
Due to the changes in date and location, voting members of the Annual Conference will need to register for the Oct. 18 session - even if they previously registered for one of the September sessions. Registration is open now.
The Pre-Conference packet in color and black & white has been updated to reflect the changes to the special session format and is available in the special session section of the Conference website.
Questions about the special session can be sent to specialsession@unyumc.org.
