Two New Bishops Will Be Selected By Methodists
Atlanta April 19. Two new Methodist bishops to be elected at the Jurisdictional Quadrennial Conference meeting soon at Columbia. Eight Georgia ministers have served as bishops. Georgia names are among candidates for one of the two openings. The Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference includes 17 annual conferences in nine states. Normally only one new bishop would be chosen to replace the late Bishop J. J. Decell of Mississippi. Growth in membership justifies an additional bishop, roughly one per 500 members.
