Episcopal Area - Central Conferences

Central Conferences

One exception is the central conference system outside the U.S. These conferences also elect their own Bishops, often limiting them to terms (though most also provide for subsequent lifetime election, as in the U.S.). Nevertheless, these central conference bishops are also assigned to episcopal areas within each central conference. The bishops therein elected also become members of The Council of Bishops of the UMC

Famous quotes containing the word central:

    “My solitaria
    Are the meditations of a central mind.
    I hear the motions of the spirit and the sound
    Of what is secret becomes, for me, a voice
    That is my own voice speaking in my ear.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
