The National Consultation on Equitable Salaries began in 1973 in response to a mandate in the United Methodist Church Discipline for a study of equitable salaries in the annual conference. At the time there was no mechanism within any general agency to conduct such work or monitoring. Several annual conference treasurers worked together to start the Consultation. The Consultation later liasoned with the Division of Ordained Ministry and would later reorganize into the National Association of Commissions on Equitable Salaries.

The Ministry Study Committee was formed by the General Conference in 1980 to study the nature and ordering of ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church. Under the chairmanship of E.

Though the Committee's report was approved by the Board of Higher Education and Ministry, the General Conference voted it down, and voted for a new commission to continue to study the problem over the next quadrennium.
