Day two and three were mostly occupied with the breakaway sessions of various Commissions led by Bishops and General Officers. Most of the Commissions reported on Friday, 23 February 2024.
Bills Brought to the floor and discussed.
- Management and Record keeping of GDC records (This bill was supported)
- Redistricting of the 17th District (supported, with mission stations to be under the Church Growth and Development)
- Allen Christian Evangelical League (ACEL). This is an evangelistic organisation that has existed for over 50 years in the , 15, 18, and 19th Districts. (To be placed in the Church growth and development)
- Charlotte Maxeke Ladies fellowship (CMLF) (did not get supported due to similarities with the Women’s Missionary Society -WMS. Agreed that the bill till needed to be worked on)
- Sons of Allen (not supported, the bill was not properly drafted)
The matter of the Covenant that the three African Bishops signed to guarantee their election, accepting that they will not serve districts 1 through 13 was yet again under the spotlight. A few realities were noted.
- The document is not in any of the Books of Doctrine and Discipline of the AME Church.
- It has no legal standing, so none of the said Bishops should be bound by it.
- It is discriminatory.
A consensus was reached that a balance on the election of bishops be sought at the ensuing 2024 General Conference.
The closing worship experience preaching was received from Bishop Paul Jnes Mulenga Kawimbe, Prelate of the 14thDistrict, Chair of the Global Development Council and President of the General Board.
