By action of the 2008 General Conference, the South Central Jurisdiction is one of the jurisdictions that will have one fewer bishop effective in 2012. A reduction in the number of bishops is expected to necessitate new episcopal area boundaries.
It is the responsibility of the South Central College of Bishops to carry out the wishes of the church “in the most sensitive and missional way possible,” according to a statement from the College of Bishops. “We cannot do this alone. We need your help,” the bishops say. One way to help, according to the bishops, is by completing the online survey.
The Lewis Center for Church Leadership of Wesley Theological Seminary is conducting the survey on behalf of the bishops.
