Annual conferences cover defined geographical areas, ordain and admit ministers to the ministry, vote on constitutional questions, supervise pensions and relief, and elect delegates to the general conference. The annual conference is also responsible for determining the character, qualifications, and general fitness of ministers for their work. It receives reports and testimonials on the character and actions of preachers, and may hold trials of preachers or laymen. The general conference meets quadrennially and is the lawmaking body of the church; the bishops preside and the work of the conference is done largely throuqh committees. The Ohio Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1812, chiefly out of the former Western Conference. After the first session of the Ohio Conference at Chillicothe in 1812, the Conference included six districts, each subdivided into five to twenty circuits. Itinerant ministers, who received one-year appointments at the Annual Conference, rode the roughly drawn circuits preaching, holding classes and " love feasts," and selling books, tracts, and newspapers. . .
