ANTIOCH COMMUNITY CHURCH -- A UNITED METHODIST CONGREGATION: Judicial Council to review church-exit rules

Book 1000

Antioch Community Church -- A United Methodist Congregation issued the following announcement on Nov.22.

In its coming session, The United Methodist Church’s highest court faces multiple questions related to rules for church disaffiliations and deadlines for General Conference legislation.

The Judicial Council plans to start deliberations on its fall 2021 docket on Nov. 23. Since late last year, the pandemic has forced the church court — with nine members from Liberia, Mozambique, Norway and the U.S. — to do its work in a new way.

Instead of meeting for a few days in one location, the Judicial Council has been meeting online over a period of months and publishing decisions as they are ready.
