Description

While attending the General Conference of 1848, Finley writes to Young about the proposed formation of a committee which would meet annually as a court of appeals between General Conferences. [See General Conference journal of 1848, May 5, where Presiding Bishop presents a proposal for a "Delegated Annual Conference" which would try appeals from members of annual conferences and review the constitutionality of General Conference acts.] Young strongly disagrees with this proposal, arguing that it would "unmake" General Conference altogether. Why should this "senate" meet every year if there is nothing to discuss? It would be preferable to convene emergency meetings as needed. Abstract Number - 906
