North Indiana Conference takes action
During its session, the North Indiana Conference adopted resolutions that:
-
Asked congregations to pray for the people of Darfur and for Sudan's government to administer in just and fair ways; and asked the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits to divest targeted funds in Sudan.
-
Increased the priority status of campus ministry in North Indiana.
-
Lifted a sunset policy on agencies receiving funds from the conference that allows for a year-by-year review and decision.
The conference voted to forward three petitions to the 2008 General Conference to:
-
Establish a study group to review tithing as a basis for General Church apportionments.
-
Gives Elders and Licensed Pastors the responsibility to determine the readiness for those who wish to profess membership in the church.
-
Ask the General Church to support basic health care coverage to all citizens in the U.S.A.
