Today, the Wesleyan Covenant Association (WCA) releases a working document with the tentative title “The Book of Doctrines and Discipline.” From November 2018 through January 2019, a team of 16 clergy and laity prepared the first draft of the document and submitted it to the WCA’s 34-member governing council. Since March of this year the council has methodically reviewed and significantly edited approximately 75 percent of that initial draft. This afternoon the 228 delegates at the WCA’s Second Global Legislative Assembly received that portion and commended it to its global members and friends for their review and comment. The WCA Council will continue to review and edit the remainder of the first draft and will make that portion public as soon as possible.
