The Tyler District
The Tyler District was created as a result of the redistricting of the Tenth
Episcopal District (State of Texas) by the Forty-Seventh General Conference of
The African Methodist Episcopal Church held in Indianapolis, Indiana, June 30 -
July 7, 2004. The State of Texas was redistricted by counties into four
annual conferences: The Texas Conference, The Southwest Texas Conference,
The North Texas Conference, and The Northwest Texas Conference. (Please
see The Doctrine and Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 2004
Edition for a list of counties within each conference.) After the
redistricting by the General Conference, the new North Texas Conference was
redistricted to form two presiding elder districts, The Tyler District and The
Greater Dallas District which now comprise The North Texas Conference.
[To be Continued]
NOTE: - This page will include the complete history of the Tyler District.
It will also include the Re-Districting that created the Tyler District.
We will also create links to Archives of the old Northeast Texas Conference, The
North and South Districts, etc. If the Archives do not exist, we will do
the research and
create them. We solicit input and help from all persons with information
regarding the history of the conferences and churches that became the Tyler
District.
