Historia
The Commission to Study and Recommend Action Concerning the Jurisdictional System was created by the General Conference of 1956, composed of seventy members from all six jurisdictions, and assigned the following responsibility and authority: to make a thorough study of the jurisdictional system, with special reference to its philosophy, its effectiveness, its weaknesses, and its relationship to the future of the Methodist Church; and, to carry on studies and conduct hearings in all the jurisdictions on racial segregation in the Methodist Church, and other problems related to the jurisdictional system. Finally, the commission was to develop courses of action directed toward greater interracial brotherhood and the spirit of Christian love.
