Conference P
Conditions for the Retired Relationship
(¶ 356)
· If you are not serving a charge under appointment (full or part-time), you shall designate the charge conference in which your membership will be held. The charge should be in the vicinity of your residence under normal circumstances.
· Your choice of a charge conference should be communicated to the BOM through the Conference Relations Committee or registrar.
· You shall report to the charge conference and to the pastor all marriages performed, Baptisms administered, and other pastoral functions. If you live outside the bounds of the Western New York Conference, you shall forward annually to the conference where membership is held a report of your Christian and ministerial conduct, together with an account of circumstances of your family, signed by the district superintendent or the pastor of the charge within the bounds of which you reside. Without this report, the conference, after having given thirty days’ notice, may locate you without your consent.
· Your Conference Relations Committee is always ready to help with any difficulty you may encounter. We like to hear from you and encourage your continued active role in local churches and our conference.
· If you have any further questions, please contact the chairperson of the Conference Relations Committee.
(¶ 356.3)
If a person is placed on Involuntary Retirement under the provisions of ¶ 356.3, a one-time cash grant in the amount of one-third of the conference average salary plus one-third of the annual cost of the medical insurance in place for that person at the time the change of relationship becomes effective may be made (effective 1/l/89).
