One of the traditions of annual conference sessions is ‘the fixing of appointments’ by the presiding Bishop. While in days past, this was when and where pastors and churches learned about these appointments, the electronic age has taken away a lot of that suspense. However, it is still a key part of our business. The appointment year typically begins on July 1; however, appointment changes can happen at any time.
