scb_admin_history Minutes record disciplinary cases against missionary personnel brought before both committees, often having been referred to by overseas districts. Also they review missionaries' health and their ability to work, probation periods and occasionally the status of supernumeraries. Resignations of missionary personnel are recorded as well. Discipline cases include: theological disagreement or dissent; fiscal irregularities; neglect of duty; immoral behaviour; misadministration of overseas districts and/or their institutions; insubordination; travelling without Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society's consent or contrary to its wishes; sexual misconduct; marrying without permission; breach of promise.
