Topic 1
Questions related to a revision of language on adaptation rights in paragraph 101
As you reflect on Parts 1-5 of the present Book of Discipline, what parts should General Conference have the sole responsibility for changing, therefore not allowing any region to change or adapt to their context?
As you reflect on Parts 1-5 of the current General of Book of Discipline draft, are there parts that should become adaptable “as the special conditions and the mission of the church in the area require” in editions of Regional Conference Disciplines?
The proposed Part 7 would contain those parts of the General Book of Discipline that could be adapted by each region. Do you believe it should be included in the General Book of Discipline as required polity for each Regional Conference unless they make adaptations to the text? Please provide a short reason for your answer.
