NOTE TO EDITORS OF UNITED METHODIST CONFERENCE NEWSPAPERS: To help
your readers understand who governs the work of churchwide
agencies, you may wish to do a story listing people from your
conference(s) who will serve on these bodies during the 1997-2000
quadrennium.  Not yet elected are additional members who will be
selected to assure representation of gender, race, age, etc. 
These additional members will be elected at the organizational
meeting of the agencies this fall. A point you may wish to include
in your story is that the General Conference reduced the total
number of general agency members from about 950 in the current
quadrennium to about 650 for the 1997-2000 quadrennium. To
conserve paper, names are printed on both sides of the following
sheets. -- Tom McAnally
