Petition Process
No petitions will be considered during the Joint Annual Conference session until Saturday morning, June 9. At that time, petitions related to the proposed Plan of Union will be considered first. The final vote on those petitions will determine which of the petitions submitted to the various annual conferences will be in order for the rest of the session. The Agenda Committee will make that determination and set the order of presentation in consultation with the Bishop.
