Iowa Methodists Seek Own Bishop for State
Des Moines hosts the Des Moines annual conference as Iowa Methodists push to create a separate bishopric with Des Moines as residence. Motion to move the Omaha area seat was opposed by Omaha leaders who pledged support, while resolutions urge Bishop Homer C. Stuntz to lead the new Iowa area. The conference also backs a $1500 minimum pastor salary and seeks equal representation with ministers at the annual conference.
