3320. When an ordained minister has been elected by the General Conference as a general official (2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1800), or an ordained, commissioned or licensed minister has been employed at the World Headquarters, or elected or employed by the board of directors of a general subsidiary corporation other than an educational institution, to serve the General Church in a ministerial capacity, or an ordained minister has been elected by the district conference as district superintendent or full-time assistant district superintendent, or an ordained, commissioned or licensed minister has been elected or employed for full-time service of the district in a ministerial capacity, the district conference shall list the minister as if it had made the appointment. An ordained minister serving in this manner shall be placed on the appointed list (cf. 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1240:I:A:1, 4a, b), and shall be a voting member of the district conference (1083:1). A commissioned or licensed minister so serving shall be a nonvoting member of the district conference and shall be listed under either “Commissioned” or “Licensed Ministers, Other Appointments” (cf. 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1090:3; 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1240:II:B). Any ordained or commissioned minister employed by the General Church in other than a ministerial capacity shall be placed on the appropriate list of ministers without appointment (cf. 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1240:I:E; 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:1240:II:C).
