The Judicial Council of the UMC issued rulings on a number of issues. They were released on October 29, 2024. One of the rulings was regarding the assignment of a bishop to the Holston and West Virginia Conferences which are in two separate jurisdictions. Given that Bishop Carlo was also assigned to conferences which straddled two jurisdictions, the NM Conference had some interest in the ruling.
