Welcome Bishop and valued staff members...

We think you may find these resources helpful in your ministry:

Guidelines for Managing Records of Episcopal Offices
Whether it is time for a major office record re-organization or perhaps the Bishop is planning to retire and mail us  personal papers for posterity, this document will prove invaluable.  There is a PDF version as well as a MS Word version of this document.

Instructions on how to pack and ship the material and the official shipping transmittal form can be downloaded as well.

The United Methodist Archives and History Directory
Contact information across Annual Conferences and Jurisdictions at your fingertips.

Heritage Sunday
Perhaps a lucky local church has engaged the Bishop for a service on Heritage Sunday.  This link provides essays and worship resources exploring this year's theme.

Historic Site Application
This copy of the guidelines and the application for Historic Site status will require an approved resolution at your Annual Conference and needs the Bishop's signature to be processed.  A quick glance here now may help you with questions you may have later.

Heritage Landmark Application
When an Annual Conference Historic Site applies for Heritage Landmark status, General Conference is the only opportunity for approval.
