VIII prODaDiy De one OF the
agenda, actice lay leaders dis
At present, the church is
areas and one nationwide juris-
diction for Negroes.
In the Twin Cities there are two
Methodist church with FREEDOM
inantiy Negro congregations.
They are Border In Minneapolis
and Camphor In ST. Paul.
Border Is not under the central
Jurisdiction control and Is the
only Negro congregation that be-
longs 10 the Minnesota Conference
OF the North Central Jurisdiction
that includes Minnesota. North
and South Dakota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin. Indiana. Ohio. Illinois and
Michigan.
Rev. c. M. Sexton, pastor OF
Border said. II feel definitely that
the central Jurisdiction should
be eliminated"
The pastor went on 10 state
that he felt the central jurisdic-
ton was unchristian and undcmo-
cratic.
Tho central jurisdiction was the
result Of a compromise made by
the northern section Of the
church In 1899 when the three
branches OF the Mcthodists merg-
ed.
Prior TO 1899 the Negro church
es belonged 10 whatever jurisdic-
ton they were located In. except
the southern churches who we're
affiliated usually with a northern
Jurisdiction.
A move was made last week
week that Ia expected TO have d
tremendous impact on the CEN
trail or Negro jurisdiction of the
Methodist church when clerical
leaders OF the Baltimore division
OF the central jurisdiction met
with representatives OF the New
York division for joint approval
OF n resolution favoring transfer
OF the Negro churches into the
New York Jurisdiction.
The resolution implements
legislation passed nj the last
general convention OF the church
in 1882 that provides for the
transfer OF churches from a
Jurisdiction into one In which they
are geographically located upon
the approval OF the two jurisdic-
tons involved and the general
conference.
The resolution will be sent 10
the Baltimore area district super
intendent who will inform the
churches that the New York area
fnvors the transfer OF any church
that desires TO change from the
Central jurisdiction TO the New
York area. part OF the northeast
ern jurisdiction.
Methodists OF five states at.
tended an intcrracial meeting In
Chicago two weeks ago and rec.
commended the elimination OF the
central Jurisdiction. II was also
recommended that the Methodist
churches open their congregation
10 any person. regardless OF race.
Since the meeting did not have
the authority TO make change In
church policy, Il viii not have an
immediate effect on the central
Jurisdiction.
The meeting was sponsored by
two bishops, Matthew w. Clair
Jr 81. Louis and Charles w.
Brashancs, Chicago and member
OF the church's board OF social
and economic relations.
The purpose Of the Chicago
meeting was ito combat eriti-
cisms that the churches OF the
United states lag behind other
groups in the achievement OF ra.
