Conference Merger Task Force Meets

The Conference Merger Task Force had its first meeting Wednesday evening at the regional office in Aberdeen, Md. This task force was formed by action of both conferences after an ad-hoc merger committee recommended that both conferences continue to consider the possibility of merger.

In its first meeting the task force began to lay out a plan to guide its work. It's purpose is to decide whether or not to bring a recommendation to each conference to merge, and if it decides to make that recommendation, then to lay out a process by which merger may take place. The task force is seeking to discern if merging the conferences will enable us to achieve our goal of creating a culture of rapid multiplication of the Kingdom more efficiently.

The task force is discussing the pros and cons of merger as well as discussing what is the role of a conference and what is the role of a superintendent in creating this culture of multiplication.

Please keep this task force in your prayers. Their next meeting is in early February.
