540.11

Should two applications for reinstatement by a minister under discipline be denied, a request may be granted by the Board of General Superintendents to transfer responsibility for the recovery and possible restoration to good standing of the minister in question to another district where the application may be considered. If a third application for restoration to good standing and reinstatement to the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of being a member of the clergy is denied, the minister may become a layperson upon approval of the District Advisory Board.
