**************************************************************
The South Georgia Delegation to the 2004 General and Jurisdictional
Conferences are dismayed and deeply concerned about the clear violation of
the Book of Discipline which occurred in the Karen Dammann case in the
Pacific Northwest Conference. We believe that when the order of the church
is violated, the connection itself splinters or disintegrates. Being in
covenant with each other, we commit ourselves at the 2004 General
Conference to seek and support ways to enforce the Book of Discipline as
the church's rule and law. We thank you for supporting us with your
prayers as we seek to follow God's will for the church.

The delegation met and agreed upon this statement on April 12, 2004.
