What type of conference takes care of business arising between regular conferences?

• A. Called Conference
• B. Annual Meeting
• C. Special Session
• D. Fellowship Meeting

Answer: (A)

When business must be handled between regular conference sessions, a Called Conference is used. This type of gathering is specifically convened to address issues that arise in the interval between the normal, scheduled conferences, ensuring timely decisions without waiting for the next annual meeting. It is typically convened by the proper authority with notice to all involved parties, and it has authority to transact the matters within its call.

The other options serve different purposes: the regular Annual Meeting is the standard yearly gathering for routine and major church business; a Special Session is usually organized for a narrow, urgent purpose rather than the routine between-conference business; and a Fellowship Meeting focuses on worship and fellowship rather than governance. Therefore, the Called Conference best fits the need to manage interim business.
