2014 Detroit Annual Conference Use of Facility and Grounds Agreement

Bishop Reuben Job’s book, “Three Simple Rules” reminds us of John Wesley’s three guiding

principles for living (Do no harm; Do good; Stay in love with God.) These principles guide us as an

Annual Conference while we are guests on the campus of Adrian College for our annual session. To

that end, we enter into an agreement to “do no harm” while on the campus of Adrian College.

One of the benefits of annual conference is that it provides the opportunity to share views,

thoughts, joys and concerns about all areas of life. We agree to be careful as we do, so that the way

we interact is not “doing harm” by being insulting or damaging to others or to the facility and

grounds in which we gather. As guests on campus, we also strive to “do good” by respecting and

actively thanking all those who work hard to host us while on campus.
