Episcopal Area - 1968 Methodist-E.U.B. Merger

1968 Methodist-E.U.B. Merger

The Central Jurisdiction began to be dismantled in the 1960s, integrating African American bishops into the five geographical jurisdictions. By the 1968 merger of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church, all bishops were assigned to these jurisdictions, and within them, each to one episcopal area.
