Clergy are reminded that if you seek a
change in your Conference Status for the purpose of retirement, at the
2009 Annual Conference, you must communicate in writing to Bishop
Bickerton, David Morse, Chairperson of BOOM, and your Superintendent by
December 30, 2008, your request for retirement. Pastors should use
as their reference #359 of the Book of Discipline which outlines the
retirement process.
