Opposition to race bishop proposal shocks general conference
Minneapolis May 28 Opposition to appointing a race bishop for southern negro Methodist Episcopal churches faced the general conference's episcopacy committee in a minority report. The report argued such action would invite discrimination and insufficient support from opposing sects. Also noted were Dr J M Buckley’s retirement after 62 years as editor of The New York Christian Advocate and praise speeches. The conference kept the amusements clause but dropped the word unchristian from heading to amusement paragraph 260 of church discipline.
