The persons...on this stage have evidenced through their lives they are not ashamed of the gospel. [They] have aggregate service of 876 years....[We] are not at the end of our ministry. We [are] pausing, and retirement is that pause to catch our breath, and to look back and give thanks for the incredible experiences we have had through God’s grace. To be thankful for all of you that have been on that journey with us. Then, to look ahead, at what God yet may do with us. And up there ahead of us is that same man that has been with us all the time. And sometimes he has been making a way when there was no way, but he keeps looking back over his shoulder, saying “come on, follow me.” The Rev.

DAILY MINUTES EXECUTIVE SESSION OF CLERGY MEMBERS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 2010 – 8 P.M.

CLERGY SESSION CONVENES: In compliance with ¶ 605.6 of The Book of Discipline (2008), Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster convened an executive session of the clergy members of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference at 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 2010, in George R. Stuart Auditorium, Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. The hymn, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling,” was sung and Bishop Goodpaster opened in prayer. BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD: Robert W. Combs, executive director, spoke concerning the mission of the Brotherhood/ Sisterhood and urged the clergy to become members of this benevolent organization. Chris Westmoreland, president, shared that participation in Brotherhood/Sisterhood was an expression of our connection, our covenant, and the compassion we are called to show. CLERGY HEALTH INITIATIVE: Ed Moore, the Executive Director of Leadership Education at Duke and a clergy member of the Baltimore-Washington Conference, spoke about the Clergy Health Initiative. He gave an update on the pilot programs, particularly in the Northeast District in WNCC, and named some successes they are beginning to see. The hope is for a long-term initiative in improving clergy health. A second follow-up clergy health survey of all clergy will begin in August. COVENANT PEER GROUPS: Jody Seymour, chair of the order of elders and chair of the Peer Group Advisory Council, announced the elder retreat to be held in November and introduced Russ Moxley, the coordinator of the CPG (Covenant Peer Group) initiative. Mr. Moxley reported that CPG’s are different than originally thought. They are voluntary, self-formed, and have a fl exible curriculum. There have been some facilitators trained and other opportunities are forthcoming. Mr. Moxley reminded the clergy how important it is to have faithful traveling companions to walk with them on the journey. BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY COMMENTS: Terry L. Moore, president of the board, shared the emphasis and concern that the Board of Ordained Ministry has for clergy in the time between ordination and retirement. The board is working in partnership to help fi nd ways to encourage clergy leadership development. In addition, clergy ethics continues to be a focus and training events are forthcoming and participation will be expected. Finally, Dr. Moore shared from his personal experience about the nature of clergy effectiveness and excellence. Clergy were encouraged to think about what effectiveness looks like and to think about what God is trying to say through them to the communities they serve. BUSINESS QUESTIONS: Board of Ordained Ministry president Terry L. Moore, board secretary Lory Beth T. Huffman, and board registrar Kimberly T. Ingram, as appropriate, supplied the proposed responses to Business of the Annual Conference (BAC) questions 17-56, 66-76, and 80c. In each instance, the affi rmative vote of the clergy session was by more than the required majorities, including those instances in which 2/3 or 3/4 votes were required. The listings for all questions considered in the clergy session as printed in Section V, The Business of the Annual Conference, accurately refl ect the actions of the clergy session. BISHOP’S COMMENTS: Bishop Goodpaster acknowledged the anxiety of the times and clergy were reminded that in the midst they are called to be servants of Jesus Christ. He refl ected on the successes of the Power of 3 related to professions of faith, participation in confi rmation classes, and transfers in from other denominations. The gathering celebrated that over 8,000 United Methodists participated in the Impact outreach day. There was disappointment in the news that membership is down, worship attendance is down, yet there are more people living in North Carolina. The hope is for thriving congregations in the ministry of serving Jesus Christ and there is evidence of a network of healthy churches. The bishop and district superintendents are committed to growing healthy churches and the bishop highlighted the importance of participation in CPGs (see above), clergy ethics seminars, and encouraged clergy to take care of their souls. He concluded, “I am blessed to be with you in ministry in Western North Carolina.” ADJOURNMENT: Bishop Goodpaster pronounced the benediction and the executive session of the clergy was adjourned.

GUIDELINES FOR HOLY CONFERENCING: The bishop reminded the conference of the following guidelines. These guidelines serve as principles for how to conduct one’s business and daily lives. The bishop emphasized the fourth bullet item which notes that annual conference is not a political convention or staged theater. The work of the annual conference through worship, prayer, and the various business requirements is to discern God’s will.

GUIDELINES FOR HOLY CONFERENCING WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE – 2010 BISHOP LARRY M. GOODPASTER Holy Conferencing is biblical and Wesleyan. Since the days of John Wesley, we have been gathering in “conference” as a time set aside to testify, raise questions, discuss, consult, clarify, set direction, and account for the ministry of God among the churches and the people called Methodist. This year, as we gather once again in Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska, we do so for inspiration, testimony, conversation, discernment, vision-casting, and accountability. As your presiding offi cer and resident bishop, I look forward to conferencing together, and pray that God’s Spirit will guide and direct our time together. In preparing for our annual conference, I offer these basic principles as the guidelines that we will practice during our days together. • We will listen to one another in a spirit of Christian love. As conversations and discussions are held, we will remember to be active listeners and patient responders. • We will respect one another as members together in the Body of Christ, even if we disagree with an opinion or statement. We are not trying to win arguments but, rather in sharing perspectives, we are seeking God’s direction in our deliberations. • We will be careful and attentive in defi ning terms and will avoid needless use of infl ammatory words or vague generalizations. 2010 journal 121

• We will not cheer, applaud, groan, or grumble while others are speaking, nor at the conclusion of a statement from a sister or brother. Conference is not a political convention or staged theater. • We will conduct ourselves at all times in the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, and will seek the Way of Jesus in what we do and how we do it. • We will be ready at appropriate times to enter into a time of prayer which may involve silence, centering, and/or verbal prayers. Any lay or clergy member may rise to a “Call for Prayer” in the course of our conferencing and, at the discretion and direction of the presiding offi cer, the proceedings may immediately be interrupted for prayer, or the call may be temporarily delayed. Robert’s Rules of Order is the standard operating process for conducting the business of our annual conference, along with the Rules of Order and Procedure which can be found at the back of the 2010 Programs and Reports Book. Within the broad, permissive ‘rules,’ the following procedures will be followed in our discussions and deliberations. • To speak on the fl oor of the conference, a lay or clergy member must be seated within the bar of the conference and be wearing a name tag. Those wishing to speak to a matter are to go to a microphone and wait to be recognized by the bishop. • When speaking, every person must state their name, local church, and district. • Each person is allowed three (3) minutes to speak. The bishop and conference secretary will alert the speaker when 30 seconds remain. • In deliberations around a motion, resolution, petition, or report, after two (2) speeches have been heard in favor of the item and two (2) speeches have been heard in opposition to the item, the presiding offi cer will ‘test the body’ to determine if we are ready to proceed to a vote. In the spirit of a Wesleyan holy conference, I am, as your bishop, appreciative of the support and cooperation from the lay and clergy members who will be participating in our session, June 11-13. I look forward to greeting all of you at Lake Junaluska and celebrating what God is doing across our area. PLAN OF ORGANIZATION AND RULES OF ORDER: The conference secretary presented several amendments to the Plan of Organization and Rules of Order and Procedure as proposed by the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting and the conference approved the amendments by the required two-thirds vote in each instance. The changes were editorial corrections, required changes to be in compliance with The Book of Discipline, necessary amendments due to legislative actions adopted by the 2009 session of the Annual Conference, and changes which codify current practices of the annual conference. The Plan of Organization and Rules of Order and Procedure as amended was adopted by the conference and can be found as amended in Section VII of this volume. COORDINATOR OF CALENDAR: Bishop Goodpaster, chairperson of the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting and on behalf of the committee, nominated James T. Trollinger as coordinator of the calendar for the 2010 session. He was elected. CONSENT CALENDAR: James T. Trollinger, coordinator of the calendar, moved the adoption of Petitions 1 – 21, which had been placed on the consent calendar, and the conference adopted all the petitions appearing on the consent calendar. The following petitions were thus adopted: Petition 1 (Trustees of Camp Tekoa) Petition 2 (Advance Specials for 2010-2011) Petition 3 (Golden Cross Sunday) Petition 4 (Board of Directors of Wesley Community Development Corporation) Petition 5 (Trustees of Brevard College) Petition 6 (Trustees of High Point University) Petition 7 (Trustee of Duke University) Petition 8 (Campus Ministry Boards) Petition 9 (Board of Directors of Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc.) Petition 10 (Board of Directors of Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc.) Petition 11 (Trustees of the Children’s Home, Inc.) Petition 12 (Board of Directors of Givens Estates United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc.) Petition 13 (Trustees of UMAR-WNC, Inc.) Petition 14 (Board of Directors of Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services) Petition 15 (Terms for District and Associate District Lay Leaders) Petition 16 (Election of Lay Delegates to General Conference and Jurisdictional Conference) Petition 17 (Pension Programs and Policies) Petition 18 (Health Benefi ts Program and Policies) Petition 19 (Annual Conference Meeting) Petition 20 (Equitable Compensation Policies and Guidelines) Petition 21 (Trustee of Cole Foundation) MOTION: Charles C. Kyker moved that Petitions 27 – 32 be tabled for this session of the annual conference. Following a second, Rev. Kyker offered a rationale for the motion. The bishop noted that the motion to table is not debatable. Elizabeth L. Graves raised a point of order that only one item at a time could be tabled. The bishop sustained the point of order and indicated that it required a majority vote to approve an item being tabled. 122 Western North Carolina Conference Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 27 (Requesting Judicial Council Decision 1032) be tabled, and the conference sustained the action. Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 28 (Reaffi rming Membership Standards) be tabled, and the conference sustained the action. Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 29 (Affi rming Inclusion of New Members) be tabled, and the conference sustained the motion. Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 30 (Policy Concerning Marriage of All Clergy) be tabled, and the motion passed. Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 31 (Non-Discrimination Resolution) be tabled, and the motion passed. Rev. Kyker moved that Petition 32 (Confronting Heterosexism Resolution) be tabled, and the motion passed. Bishop Goodpaster advised that the Petitions now placed on the table would be referred to the Connectional Table at the close of conference. Kristin D. Lassiter asked a question if the petitions could be lifted from the table during this session of the annual conference. Bishop Goodpaster responded that any of the six petitions, individually, could be lifted from the table prior to the adjournment of the annual conference. THE UPPER ROOM 75TH ANNIVERSARY: Jerry Haas, Spiritual Director, Center for Spiritual Formation, and clergy member in the Desert Southwest Conference, noted that The Upper Room Devotional began in the depths of the Great Depression and provided inspiring stories of faith. The fi rst edition of 100,000 copies was itself an act of faith. By the seventh edition 500,000 copies were printed. Over two million copies are printed each year and later this year the one billionth copy will be printed in over 40 different languages. A part of Mr. Haas’ report included a video produced to celebrate the 75th Anniversary in which Sarah Wilkie, publisher, is introduced along with personal testimonies of persons who have been inspired and helped by the daily devotional guide. Mr. Haas announced that The Upper Room ministries would be in prayer this week for the Western North Carolina Conference and invited the delegates to offer prayers for The Upper Room and to join in this year’s celebration through visiting the web site for The Upper Room. UPCOMING 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF LAKE JUNALUSKA: Jimmy L. Carr, Executive Director, Bill Lowery, author, and Carl L. Arrington, SEJ Director of African-American Ministries, made the report of the Assembly. A new book, “Antechamber of Heaven” written by Bill Lowery has been published in commemoration of the lake’s centenninal anniversary. Rev. Carr presented Bishop Goodpaster a copy of the limited edition book along with a ceramic statue that he indicated looked like a bishop. Bishop Goodpaster asked Rev. Carr to take greetings to the Mississippi Conference on behalf of WNCC. The conference affi rmed the action.

Moore, president, presented the annual report. Dr. Moore thanked the members of the board for their hard work this past year. He challenged clergy and lay persons to encourage persons to respond to a call to ordained ministry.

He indicated that plans are underway to offer mandatory clergy ethics training seminars before the end of the year. He closed the report by saying that ordained ministry is a privilege, not an obligation. RECEPTION OF CLASS INTO PROVISIONAL MEMBERSHIP: Kim Ingram, registrar of the Board of Ordained Ministry, announced by name the one associate member, the fi ve provisional members intending to become deacons, and the twenty provisional members intending to become elders who had been elected at the 2010 clergy session.

COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS: Kimberly T. Ingram, committee secretary, presented the report as contained in the Supplement with one addition, Stewart Finch to serve on the Board of Congregational Development.

The nominations were approved. COMMITTEE ON EPISCOPACY: Maggie Tilley, chairperson, invited the members of the committee to the platform and gave the report of the committee using a PowerPoint presentation. Debra Goodpaster was invited to the stage, and presented with a pink hydrangea. She greeted the conference, and all celebrated her ministry with her husband, the bishop. REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE: Bishop Goodpaster outlined the process for consideration of the proposal. This afternoon will be a time for presentation and asking questions. Tomorrow afternoon the proposal will be brought to a vote. Sally O. Langford, chairperson, presented the report printed here and previously in the Supplement: The Annual Conference Meeting Task Force, which was formed at the direction of the 2008 Annual Conference for the purpose of evaluating the content and location of the annual meeting, recommends to the 2010 Annual Conference that next year’s meeting on June 9-12, 2011 be held at the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, NC. The standing Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting joins the task force in making this recommendation. Because the Western NC Conference has a long and wonderful association with the Lake Junaluska Assembly, this recommendation comes only after careful study and refl ection. For almost 50 years, after local churches no longer could accommodate the size of our meeting, the Western NC Conference has held its annual meeting at the Lake. We have worshiped, ordained, and held holy conferences around these waters. Task force and committee members appreciate the efforts made by the Lake Junaluska staff to increase the comfort and enjoyment of the 2009 and 2010 annual meetings for Western NC Conference delegates. Examples of improvements to the facilities include additional venues for viewing the business sessions and worship services, outside amplifi cation speakers, vendors to bring a variety of lunch options onsite, and clean portable rest rooms. Task force and committee members hope and expect that the partnership between the Lake Junaluska Assembly and the Western NC Conference will continue and be strengthened in coming years in many Western NC Conference sponsored events. The Assembly grounds and facilities, however, are simply not large enough to accommodate the 3,500 delegates to annual conference. Stuart Auditorium, for example, will seat only 2,000 people, while parking, housing, and meal options on the grounds are severely limited for our number of delegates. Task force and committee members appreciate, with many others in the Western NC Conference, the beauty of the Assembly’s mountain setting and remember with gratitude the long tradition of holy conferencing at Lake Junaluska. But in order to welcome and accommodate all our delegates, the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting recommend that the annual meeting be moved to a larger setting. In September 2009, the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force asked the Rev. Kirk McNeill to explore possible meeting sites for the annual meeting. McNeill, an elder in the Western NC Conference and a Certifi ed Meeting Professional, concluded that the Koury Convention Center offered the most viable option for the Western NC Conference. The Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at the convention center has 988 hotel rooms, which will be offered to conference delegates at a reasonable rate. Parking is plentiful and free, while there are multiple meal options in the convention center and at the nearby Four Seasons Mall. In addition, the convention center will offer at no cost to the Western NC Conference its gathering space for the business sessions and worship services of annual conference, as well as break-out rooms for meetings and group meals. Space is also available for children’s and youth activities. The Koury Convention Center hosted 21 members of the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting in April 2010, for lunch and a tour of its facilities. Task force and committee members are convinced that the facilities can easily accommodate the 3,500 Western NC Conference delegates and all related activities. The facilities will be especially helpful in 2011, when a full meeting space is needed for the election of lay and clergy delegates to General and jurisdictional Conferences. Moreover, the large meeting space, which would be used for business sessions and worship services, can be adapted in such a way that the annual conference can experience holy conferencing in the presence of God. While the Koury Convention Center would welcome the opportunity to be the regular setting for the Western NC Conference’s annual meeting, the Annual Conference Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting recommend that the Western NC Conference move its annual conference to Greensboro on a one-year trial basis. If the 2011 Annual Conference at the Koury Convention Center is well received, then the annual conference can vote to return for additional annual meetings at approved meeting dates to be arranged with the convention center. The Annual Conference Meeting Task Force thanks the Western NC Conference for the opportunity to address the needs and concerns of the Western NC Conference’s annual meeting. But after two years of service, task force members willingly step aside and request that its work be assumed by the standing Committee of the Annual Conference Meeting.

Linda Black spoke against. Don Haynes spoke. Anna and William Mandelstamm spoke in favor. Salem Hockett and Elizabeth Marlowe spoke against. Stephen Ray spoke for. Jim Hastings spoke against. Mitchell Matthews spoke for. The conversation in favor of moving to Greensboro was primarily because of the need for more space and parking, recounting positive experiences had there for other conferences, it is hot in Stuart Auditorium, and lack of adequate facilities. The conversation in opposition to moving to Greensboro was primarily around the hallowed ground at Lake Junaluska, a family atmosphere, the ability to spend time with friends, appreciation for God’s creation, supporting the community, and concern about crime and traffi c in Greensboro. The motion was defeated 526 “yes” and 1170 “no.” Bishop Goodpaster led in prayer. Bishop took a straw poll on how many people would be willing to sit outside the auditorium, in a tent, next year.

Petition 25 (Cease Funding GBCS) was ruled out of order by the bishop because there is no such thing as a 2010 General Conference and because the last sentence is not applicable. Jim Trollinger, coordinator of the calendar presented Petitions 22 and 26. Bishop Huie presiding: Petition 22 (Rural Life Sunday) was APPROVED Bishop Goodpaster presiding: Petition 26 (The War in Afghanistan) Jim Womack made a motion to table this petition. MOTION TO TABLE APPROVED Time was extended for 15 more minutes. CF&A recommendation: Do not increase the bottom line.

Salary request back to 2009 level ($73,183) for a total of $225,340, which would mean that the Connectional Table will have to decide how to allocate $298,520 to the two categories; Pfeiffer and Greensboro Universities, and The Children’s Home. • Don Routh made a MOTION to increase the bottom line of the budget by $225,340, against the recommendation of CF&A.

Bishop: Yes! We have to learn how to live within the budget.

Kenneth M. Partin, president of the Board of Congregational Development, moved to amend the Conference Funds and Financial Policies by adding an item #21 as follows: Congregational Development is currently beginning ten new churches and conducting a signifi cant fund-raising effort in the New Faith Communities Fund. During 2011, up to fi fteen percent of the unrestricted reserve, being approximately $548,000, be made available to cover short-term cash fl ow requirements; reserve funds to be replaced by funds from Congregational Development and the New Faith Communities Fund.

VIII. REPORTS (NOTE: The proposals in the following reports are printed in the form in which the conference adopted them, which is not in every case identical to the form in which they were originally proposed.) A. COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION The purpose of the Council on Finance and Administration (CF&A) is “to develop, maintain, and administer a comprehensive and coordinated plan of fi scal and administrative policies, procedures, and management services for the annual conference” (¶ 611.1, 2004 Discipline). The council has adopted this theme for its work: EMPOWERING FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP Receipts on all funds for 2009 were $11,784,943 or 77.55% of the total apportioned. The Council on Finance and Administration is proposing the budget for 2011 based upon the funding paradigm implemented in 2005. The two-part presentation consists of Conference Funds and General Church Funds. The overall apportioned budget for all funds totals $14,409,256. The budget amounts were set based on the stewardship concepts contained in the funding paradigm. Those concepts emphasize setting future budgets based on past support, indexed for infl ation and conference growth. The council sees itself as joining with the local church in the work of the fi nancial ministry of the annual conference. We commend the 2011 budget to the conference. It represents the uniqueness and depth of ministries and missions provided by our church and the economic realities of our conference. 2011 CONFERENCE FUNDS AND FINANCIAL POLICIES Proposed and approved: 1. That each of the funds described in the section of this report headed “Conference Funds for 2011” be approved and that the traditional decimal formula be used in determining the apportionments for 2011 for each mission or chartered church/ charge for these funds: District Superintendents’ Fund Equitable Compensation Fund Incapacity Insurance Support Conference Support Fund Vision and Goals Fund 2010 journal 205

Africa University Fund Black College Fund Episcopal Fund General Administration Fund Interdenominational Cooperation Fund Jurisdictional Administration Fund Lake Junaluska Dam and Lake Restoration Fund Ministerial Education Fund World Service Fund The decimal formula shall be based on the average of the amounts paid by each mission or chartered church/charge during 2007, 2008, and 2009 on the following items: ITEM LINES Total Conference Apportioned Funds Paid ...... Line 40b District Administration/Expense Fund ...... Line 41b Pastor(s) Health Insurance Premiums ...... Line 52 Salaries, Housing, Utilities, Travel, and Other Cash Allowances Paid to Pastor and Associate(s) ...... Lines 53-57 Compensation of Deacon(s)/Diaconal Minister(s) ...... Line 58-59 Compensation of All Other Church Employees ...... Line 60 Local Church Expenses for Program ...... Line 61 Other Local Church Operating Expenses ...... Line 62 (Notes: Line numbers refer to corresponding entries on Table 2 of the year-end reports of the pastors and local churches.) 2. That the following policy be approved and observed: At the beginning of the calendar year, the Council on Finance and Administration shall determine which portions of the Conference Support Fund (Fund 505) and the Vision and Goals Fund (Fund 508) are “fi xed costs” (salaries, benefi ts, etc.) and shall thus be authorized to be paid at 100% of the approved budget. On the basis of prior-year receipts to these funds, the council shall then determine a percentage of the approved budget to be authorized for expenditure in the remaining items of each budget, so that expenditures shall not exceed income. a. Each church is expected to support all funds at 100% of the apportioned amount. (Paragraph 247.14 of the 2008 Book of Discipline) b. The churches are requested to make payments thereon aggregately, with the understanding that the conference treasurer will allocate such payments according to the appropriate percentage due the fund according to the Conference Budget. 3. That an Unrestricted Fund Balance Account be maintained by the annual conference at a level of 20% of the current total of the Conference Funds and that any undesignated interest income plus unused balances in budget accounts be transferred to the undesignated fund balance at the end of the fi scal year. 4.

That the group medical insurance plan be continued and that all churches be asked to participate through the payment of premiums through the offi ce of the conference treasurer. 6. That local churches be reminded that the discontinuance of prior claims funding, effective Jan. 1, 2007, for the Equitable Compensation Fund, Pension and Benefi ts Fund, Episcopal Fund, and District Superintendents’ Fund does not relieve the churches from their obligation to observe the rule of proportional payment (¶¶ 622 and 639.4, 2008 Discipline), and that ¶ 638.4(c) be observed by the statistician in reporting apportionments and payments to the Pension and Benefi ts Fund. 7. That for 2011 and beyond, the salary and benefi ts (including clergy housing) for district superintendents and all Conference Memorial Center personnel be set by the Committee on Conference Staff Relations policy within the approved total salary budget and clearly reported to the annual conference as part of the report of the Committee on Conference Staff Relations, which says the salaries of the District Superintendents for 2011 be set at $97,971. However, the Conference in June, 2010 session amended this report leaving the DS Salary at $93,300. 8. That all agencies receiving funds from the conference budget shall affi rm that those funds will not be expended for the use of alcoholic beverages or to promote acceptance of homosexuality in violation of ¶ 613.19 and .20 of The Book of Discipline (2008). 9. That the amount of compensation designated as housing allowance for ordained staff members and district superintendents of the conference be set by an annual resolution of the conference Council on Finance and Administration after consideration of a statement of amounts to be used during the year. 10. That church-related travel expenses of all members of conference boards, agencies, committees, and commissions; conference staff; district superintendents; and local church clergy be paid by voucher on a mileage basis at the amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.

That the governing boards of: Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc. Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc.; Givens Estates United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc.; The Children’s Home, Inc.; UMAR-WNC, Inc.; The United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc.; Camp Tekoa; Bennett College for Women; Brevard College; Greensboro College; High Point University; Pfeiffer University; Western North Carolina Conference Brotherhood/Sisterhood; Western North Carolina Conference Historical Society; United Methodist Deaf Ministry-WNC, Inc. Potter’s Touch Counseling Center, Asheville, Methodist Counseling Center, Charlotte Chrysalis Counseling Center, Greensboro Disciple Bible Outreach Ministry of NC, Inc. New Faith Communities Fund, Board of Congregational Development be granted the privilege of soliciting and receiving funds from churches, individuals, and other sources (but not from conference-wide offerings except as indicated in the list which follows) in keeping with The Book of Discipline; no capital campaigns be approved for 2011; and that the following, and only the following, conference-wide offerings be approved for 2011: Human Relations Day ...... General Conference UMAR Sunday ...... Annual Conference One Great Hour of Sharing ...... General Conference Native American Awareness ...... General Conference Golden Cross… ......

Annual Conference Project AGAPE ...... Annual Conference Peace with Justice ...... General Conference Children’s Home Sunday ...... Annual Conference World Communion ...... General Conference United Methodist Student Day ...... General Conference 12. That clergy be reimbursed for moving expenses in the following manner, effective upon adjournment of the 2010 conference session: a. IN-CONFERENCE MOVES: The conference shall pay $500, plus $2.50 per mile, on those moves which are required as pastors are moved from one appointment to a new appointment, on a one-way basis. b. MOVES INTO THE CONFERENCE: The conference shall pay on the same basis as in item 12a above. The moving allowance will apply to the number of miles on the most direct route traveled from the conference boundary to the pastoral appointment. c. MOVING AT RETIREMENT: Retiring clergy, surviving spouses of active clergy who died during the year, and clergy who go on incapacity leave during the year shall receive a moving allowance of $750, plus $2.50 per mile, from the pastoral appointment to the retirement residence or the conference boundary. A retiree who moves to a parsonage and serves a pastorate in retirement is eligible for an in-conference moving allowance upon approval of the district superintendent. d. MOVES OUT OF THE CONFERENCE (moving to another conference, withdrawing from conference membership, leave of absence, etc.): No allowance will be paid. e. SABBATICAL LEAVE: No allowance is granted when the leave begins; however, an allowance will be given when the leave is completed and the clergy person is again available for appointment by the bishop. The amount will be consistent with items 12a and 12b above. f. In many instances, the moving allowance will not cover the total expense of the move. This reimbursement is given to help with the over-the-road cost of the move. Each church/charge receiving a new pastor is strongly urged to pay any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the new pastor as a result of the move. The district superintendent will negotiate the request with the church/charge well in advance of moving day. g. The district superintendent is asked to make a very special appeal that each church/charge be especially sensitive to both parsonage families during this stressful time. The appeal should include assistance with meals, packing, unpacking, loading, and unloading where helpful and appropriate for the parsonage family. 2010 journal 207

13. That the president, vice-president, and secretary of the conference Council on Finance and Administration, the chairperson of the Audit Review Committee, the conference treasurer-director of administrative services, a Cabinet representative, and one lay member of the CF&A constitute the executive committee of the conference Council on Finance and Administration. 14. That the Council on Finance and Administration be authorized to appoint a conference auditor. 15. That each local church make a very special effort to undergird the meal, transportation, and lodging expenses of annual conference members in attending annual conference by adding a minimum of $100 to the church budget for each lay and clergy delegate. The district superintendents are asked to encourage such support at each charge conference. 16. That conference funds not be permitted to carry over unspent funds from one conference year to another unless specifi cally authorized by the Council on Finance and Administration. Agencies receiving funds from sources other than apportioned funds may carry over such unspent funds into the next year. 17. That 3 p.m., Friday, Jan. 7, 2011, be the cutoff time by which all payments from local churches must be in the offi ce of the conference treasurer in order to be applied to the 2010 year. 18. That each conference board, agency, or institution receiving or disbursing funds not managed by the conference treasurer maintain adequate fi nancial records and prepare and submit annual audit reports to the conference treasurer and the conference Council on Finance and Administration. All treasurers should be properly bonded. 19. That the conference fi scal year begin on Jan. 1, 2011, and end on December 31, 2011. 20. That the conference Council on Finance and Administration be responsible for designating depositories for conference funds. 21. Congregational Development is currently beginning 10 new churches and conducting a signifi cant fund raising effort in the New Faith Communities Fund. During 2011, up to 15% of the unrestricted reserve, being approximately $548,000 will be made available to cover short term cash fl ow requirements; reserve funds to be replaced by funds from Congregational Development and the New Faith Communities Fund. The Board of Congregational Development and the Council on Finance and Administration will work closely during the year to monitor and manage income from fund raising and cash fl ow to minimize the temporary use of conference reserves. 22. WNCC will include in each annual budget a detailed line item of money appropriated for each “shall” ministry as defi ned by The Book of Discipline. The Budget is as printed. No changes were made.

CONNECTIONAL TABLE At the 2009 session of the Western NC Conference, the Connectional Table was created as a place of conversation, visioning, planning, and collaboration. Representing the diversity of the membership of the conference, and the several teams and boards in the conference, the Connectional Table provides a space where activities, ministries, and dreams converge. The organizational meeting of the Connectional Table was held on Sept. 25-26, 2009, at Crossroads UMC in Concord. During the fi rst evening, the Table members and team members participated in exercises for group formation, vision casting, and discernment. Following a time of worship, Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster discussed the importance of mission and how the mission of the conference is the central goal of the Connectional Table. In the second day of the meeting, the members of the Congregation Excellence, Leadership Development, and Justice and Reconciliation teams, which had been recommended by the conference Committee on Nominations, were elected. The Connectional Table and the ministry teams then began their discussion of the tasks of allocating the benevolences portion of the 2010 budget and developing that same portion of the 2011 budget. Each of the three teams held separate meetings to begin establishing the structure and strategies for its work. Following weather-related postponements in January and February, the Connectional Table held its second meeting on March 6, 2010, at the conference center in Charlotte. Bill Wyman, conference treasurer, presented receipt history for apportionments and the benevolences budget target fi gure for 2011 provided by the conference Council on Finance and Administration. At that point, the Connectional Table was confronted with a major challenge: the CF&A budget target for 2011 was approximately $2,800,000 while the benevolences budget requests were approximately $5,800,000. Utilizing a new method of matching budget requests with the vision and goals of the conference, each of the three ministry teams had examined budget requests assigned to the team and had given rankings to the requests. At the same time, the Connectional Table decided to change the name for the funding category from “Benevolences” to “Vision and Goals” (or other name that may emerge in conversation with the Council on Finance and Administration). The Table held its third meeting on April 24, 2010, at the conference center in Charlotte, at which time the Table received updates on budget target fi gures and continued its deliberations on the 2011 budget proposals. Following several hours of deliberation and discussion, the Connectional Table determined the activities and programs for which funds would be requested from the Council on Finance and Administration and the annual conference for 2011. The activities and programs selected met the CF&A budget target. The initial year of work for the Connectional Table has been a time of learning, building relationships, and experiencing a new way of planning and doing ministry in the 21st century. One of several achievements during the year was the adoption of a conference-wide Urban Ministry Strategic Plan. This plan details the process for distributing funds which result from the sale of abandoned properties of the conference. As we move into another conference year, the Connectional Table believes it has made positive strides forward, and anticipates a new year of Following Jesus, Making Disciples, and Transforming the World. Robert Upchurch and Larry M. Goodpaster, Co-Chairpersons 1. COMMITTEES AND TASK GROUPS

a. CAMPING AND OUTDOOR MINISTRIES This year has proven to be a time of challenge and opportunity for camping and outdoor ministries. Like other ministries in the conference, the district camps continue to do vital and important work with ever limited resources and fi nancial support. Yet, the camps continue as vanguard representatives of faithfulness to the call of Christ to Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, Transform the World in creative and life-changing ways. The work and outreach ministry of all the camps is commendable. The dedication and hard work of the camp directors, along with the staffs and camp employees is inspiring. The seven camps and retreat centers are Mt. Shepherd, Camp McCall, Camp Elk Shoals, Camp Loy White, Camp Carolwood, Camp GuilRock, and Camp Tekoa. Each camp continues to operate under the seven foundations of the United Methodist camps. Listed below are reports from the camps, giving information about their work and achievements for the year. Please continue to pray for and support the conference and district camps, as they reach out to all people and share the gospel through the outdoor ministries. James G. Mackey, Chairperson Mount Shepherd Mount Shepherd had another great year in 2009 and the fi rst quarter of 2010. A few accomplishments stand out. • Accreditation by the American Camp Association® was achieved last summer. This is verifi cation from the ACA that Mount Shepherd, during a visit on July 21, 2009, complied with up to 300 industry-established health and safety standards, which are recognized by courts of law and government regulators as the standards of the camp industry. • Summer camp drew 685 campers to hear, see, and experience God’s love and grace. We always seek ways to increase attendance. • A DVD has been produced that highlights opportunities for retreats, meetings and seminars. Summer camp is very prominent. The DVD will be distributed to churches and businesses. Plans are to use portions of the video to produce a 15- or 30-second television commercial. 2010 journal 211

• A 30-second commercial is being aired on WGHP and WFMY. The commercials highlight Mount Shepherd’s summer camps. Twenty-seven spots aired in March and April 2010. • The bathhouse has been renovated. Considered an eyesore in the past, the renovation includes new exterior and interior siding, a new paint on the interior, new sink and shower fi xtures, and a giant picture on each side. (One visitor wanted to take pictures of the improvements.) • The “Wet Willie” waterslide was installed and two access towers — one for the waterslide and one for the zipline — were built in time for 2009 summer camp. The waterslide is 100 feet long. The access tower at the slide starts 32 feet above the ground. • The kitchen has been elevated by the health department to the level of a restaurant. A new drop ceiling has been added and new sinks and other improvements have been made. • Program Highlights: –Five Asheboro City schools, one Randolph County school, and two Davidson County schools participated in environmental education. –Christmas dinners were served. –Two Seagrove potters led pottery classes for summer campers. –Two retreats were held for the differently-abled persons. –As of the end of 2009, Mount Shepherd hosted: = United Methodists Groups: 19 occasions = Other Religious Groups: 30 occasions = Colleges/Universities: 4 occasions = Elementary School Groups: 8 occasions = Scout Groups: 4 occasions = Family Reunions: 11 occasions = Special Needs Groups: 2 occasions = Other Groups: 6 occasions • Media/Marketing: –The website has been redone. Check it out at www.mtshepherd.org. –WBFJ runs the radio spots. • Administration: –Fund-raising continues for a new bathhouse. –County health department inspected the kitchen and gave a grade of 99 from a possible 100. • Environmentally Friendly Practices: The camp continues moving forward with more environmentally friendly practices. CFL bulbs have replaced most standard light bulbs. Aluminum cans and plastic bottles are recycled. Motion sensors are replacing light switches in hallways and bathrooms. Offi ce paper is reused as much as possible and printer cartridges are recycled. Trips to town are planned with multiple stops. A compost pile is in use. Thermostats on water heaters are turned down between groups. And thermostats on heating units are turned off between groups. These and other practices conserve the environment and help the bottom line. Among those, Shepherd’s vision for growth continues to include development of facilities and programs for all ages in an outdoor setting suitable for spiritual growth, fellowship, renewal, and recreation. Camping and retreat ministry takes it rightful place within The United Methodist Church when a ministry is provided for the local church. Camps and retreat centers like Mount Shepherd are extensions of the local church. As such, we are called to provide programs and facilities for the local church to “plug” into so the local church’s ministry may be strengthened and God’s love and grace is proclaimed. Kent Shrader, Director

Camp GuilRock Camp GuilRock hosted over 6,000 visitors to the campus this past year. We are always in the process of evaluating how to effectively remain in ministry to the surrounding community. We regard ourselves as a “ministry” and not simply a “destination.” For 2010, the board of directors has approved plans to convert the screened-in Wesley Pavilion into a dining hall/meeting room complete with new bathrooms and a new kitchen. We recently approved and witnessed the completion of the 30th Eagle project over the past four years. With limited funding, scouts and other volunteer groups are primarily responsible for the majority of capital improvement to the campus. Summer programming remains strong with 5 residential camps and 13 day camps on the schedule for 2010. We will host over 100 groups over the course of the summer. This summer we will host the fourth summer of outreach day camp to the community, providing a “free” day camp experience for over 75 students. Many of these students could not attend a summer camp experience on their own. District churches and individuals donate time and money to make this day camp happen, and the strength of the United Methodist “connection” is witnessed in this event. Camp GuilRock exists to share “God’s cathedral” in its beauty and simplicity. The mission statement is “Discover Creation, Experience God, Grow in Faith.” How we at GuilRock are “in ministry.” • With the camp bus and van we provide transportation to neighborhood children and families to various Christian events in the community and special programs at the camp. • We jointly participate in ministry with other Christian organizations like FCA, Youth for Christ, inter-denominational high school and middle school groups, and scouting organizations. Much of this work is outreach and servant 212 Western North Carolina Conference ministry to Rockingham County and Guilford County. (Since the camp does not have large enough facilities to host a group like CCC, we have created the Camp GuilRock version of CCC.) • We provide special services of worship for weekend groups and the neighborhood at special times during the year. We continue to ask for your prayers as God leads the board of directors into the future of district camping. Mark Christy, Executive Director

Camp Carolwood Camp Carolwood does not provide summer programming any longer. However, we offer an outstanding facility for summer camp experiences such as Carolina Cross Connection. Some churches have used Carolwood for their own summer camps. A day camp is hosted by a district church, with other churches invited to participate. We offer retreat facilities year-round. We offer to clergy a getaway for a day apart, for planning and rest. We hope to offer creation-care education to clergy and groups alike in the future.

Philip Setzer, Director Camp Tekoa Tekoa’s Mission: Touching Hearts, Changing Lives, and Sharing the Light of Christ. 2009 was a great year thanks to all the committed full-time staff and the fabulous summer staff team. Here are some highlights from this past year: • We welcomed 2,300 summer campers. All were challenged to go into the world and share the Light of Christ. • We welcomed 89 Fall Barnabas campers. Barnabas Camps are special camps for adults with developmental challenges. Thanks to Sue Trollinger, the fall camp coordinator, we had an awesome time with these special campers. In all, we welcomed 300 campers with special needs throughout the year. • This was the second year serving as a host camp for Operation Purple. Operation Purple is a program through the National Military Family Association and is sponsored by the Sierra Club. It is a free camp for military children. Tekoa was one of 65 camps across the nation chosen to host an OP camp. We welcomed 150 of our young heroes for a special camp week designed just for them. It is honor to serve these wonderful kids and be of service to our country. • Tekoa was named the #1 best overnight camp in the Western North Carolina Parent Magazine. • A special thank you to all of the volunteers who gave of their time and talents to help make Tekoa a better place. Thank you. • Tekoa is open year-round for church family retreats, youth group retreats, day events, and much more. Thanks to all of you who help support our conference camp. Together, we will endeavor to build disciples for Christ. James Johnson, Executive Director

b. SPIRITUAL FORMATION TASK FORCE The WNCC Spiritual Formation* Task Force is composed of passionate people who seek, in their spiritual journeys, to keep Jesus Christ at the center of all life. We seek to plant deep roots in faith and spiritual disciplines so that we can grow into the full image of Jesus Christ. The spiritual disciplines are means of Grace which position us for an encounter with the living Lord Jesus. They serve as anchor holds in all of life. We help each other grow and mature in the image of Jesus Christ. We are called to and created for relationships in Jesus’ name. In this current season of life, we cling to the promises of God, the resurrected life of Jesus, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. We maintain efforts of sharing the disciplined life with one another. We continue to encourage each other, look for and work tirelessly to help implement God’s Kingdom in the here and now. We are committed to the call of Christ upon us and have covenanted to pursue wholeness, healing, and health (growing in Christ’s image). We are interested and invested in Sanctifying Grace movements. The members of this group will inform and teach, promote, and encourage the regular practice of spiritual disciplines throughout the WNCC. We exist as a resource for the WNC Conference to consult, present, foster, and facilitate aspects of spiritual formation. We share a wide diversity of experience and gifts throughout our participating members. We also have a 2010 journal 213 wealth of collective wisdom that seeks to bless others. We build events like the day apart and the evening worship service before the clergy meeting at annual conference. Our goal is to set the tone for Holy Conferencing. We continue to host the “Day Apart” on the Thursday before annual conference. This sacred time is much more than just another meeting. It is a concerted, genuine offering of fresh insights and nourishment in how the living Christ speaks to us, individually and collectively. It is a time and space for us to encounter holy living. We offer a wide range of venues (fun, music, art, didactic, refl ective, etc.) that help us encounter Jesus. Macrina Wiederkehr will be our presenter on June 10, 2010, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. On Thursday evening, we host a worship service which serves as a vehicle to help set the atmosphere for conference prayerfully, thoughtfully, and spiritually. During this time, we have utilized many forms of worship and prayer (Taizé, contemplative, contemporary, Celtic, healing prayer, etc.) We carve out spaces and places for us to encounter the HOLY (God, Holy Spirit). An opportunity for that is our Five-Day Academy, an Upper Room-sponsored event, planned for May 16-21, 2010. Robert Mulholland and Luther Smith are our scheduled presenters for this event. The Five Day emphasis will be “Growing, Sowing, Bestowing.” *Spiritual Formation is defi ned as a life-long journey of being conformed to the image of Christ in community, by the gracious work of God’s Spirit (the Holy Spirit), for the sake of others (the world).

COALITION FOR MISSIONS Missions continue to play an important role in the work of the church. Through the Advance program of the General Board of Global Ministries, local churches paid out $890,970 in mission support in 2009. Other mission giving through the Offi ce of Mission/Outreach received another $336,308.22 (includes Project AGAPE, Disaster Response and other specifi ed mission giving). $210,000 in supplies was sent out through the Mission Response Center (prior to earthquake relief, over $430,000 sent since the quakes as of March 15). These numbers represent people and true Christian response to human needs (please note that the numbers do not include funds sent directly to local and non-Methodist-related groups). For 2010 and following, the Coalition for Missions, working through its Churches in Outreach, Responding and Equipping (CORE) principles shall provide direction, coordination, and education to the districts and local churches in order to help establish their ministries in mission outreach. The priority will be focused on the health of the local church’s mission projects. The goal is for every congregation in the Western NC Conference to have an implemented plan of ministry for global mission ministries and local mission ministries by 2012. The Coalition for Missions’ CORE Principles (foci) include: • Discipleship • Sustainable Economic/Environmental Causes • Health Initiatives/Medical Care • Education • Shelter/Food/Water (includes World Hunger Initiative) Direction of the Global Mission Ministries 1. To conduct a “CORE principles’ conference/workshop” geared to help local churches in their ministries in 2011. The end-goal would be “A New Beginning…” supporting churches as they receive and share information, resources, ideas, and inspiration. 2. To provide a system of “best practices” for mission outreach into the local churches. 3. To provide “information” to local churches on what is available and happening throughout the conference in mission: The main vehicles for this will be the new “Missions Alive – WIRED,” the website, and the Offi ce of Mission/Outreach. 4. To work on a mission theology for the health of the local churches. Direction of the Local Mission Ministries 1. To set a standard of expectation for the local churches as they work within their local communities. 2. To locate mission possibilities within the districts and place them before the local churches while providing a “what-how-how much” description of each. 3. Beyond the planned 2011 Conference/workshop event, provide trainings for “small,” “medium,” and “large” churches in local mission ministries. Since 2010, the Offi ce of Mission/Outreach has been on the front page for many of our churches. “Missions’ Alive – WIRED,” a new media-based resource has been developed, http://sites.google.com/a/wnccumcmail.org/wncc-missions/ and is updated on an almost daily basis with fi ve persons collaborating on information. Since Jan. 12, 2010, much emphasis has been placed on the Haiti and Chile earthquakes and relief efforts through the WNC. In addition to this work, the Offi ce of Mission/Outreach recommends local churches to explore ways it can work with the special initiatives: World Hunger (this initiative was highlighted at the 2009 Annual Conference), Church-to-Church Partnerships, and Child-Sponsorships (this initiative will be highlighted at the 2010 Annual Conference). The support of the local churches and membership is greatly appreciated.

Coordinating Committee There are many things to report since the last gathering of the WNCC Annual Conference. The church support of The United Methodist Church in the D.R. Congo this year was highlighted by GBGM Missionary Jacques Umembudi Akasa’s visit to the Western NC Conference. At last year’s session of the WNCC Annual Conference; it was reported that the Wings of Caring’s (Central Congo aviation ministry) Cessna 206 had crashed. All survived the crash but the aircraft did not. During Jacque’s visit to the WNCC, he located an engine and propeller confi guration from Greensboro, N.C., to be put into a Wings of the Morning (Southern Congo aviation ministry) mission plane, another Cessna 206 which needed both an engine and propeller. As of now, the aircraft is being refurbished with the new engine and propeller and the Cessna 206 airframe is being inspected for airworthiness certifi cation. The Wings of Caring missions will still need extra funding to purchase aircraft fuel in much larger shipments in order to reduce the high cost of aviation gasoline which must be shipped by river boat to the Central Congo region. The mission stations at Diengenga and Wembo Nyama are awaiting computers confi gured with Windows 98 and MS Offi ce 2000 which will be used in the Lorena Kelly’s Girl’s School and the Diengenga Trade School. At Wembo Nyama these would be used in the nursing school, the hospital, and the theology school at Patrice Lamumba University. There are two computer experts already in place in the D.R. Congo. One is in Kinshasa, who will prepare and confi gure the hardware and software, and the other is Paul Dinga, a resident of Diengenga who will be instrumental in establishing the computer laboratories and curriculum at both of the schools in Diengenga. Funds are needed to purchase printers for these schools and facilities. The mission station at Diengenga has not been able to replace the Diengenga Trade School truck, as of this report. A conversation with Bishop David Yemba is ongoing, pertaining to the idea of procuring a truck or vehicle which would meet both the needs of the Diengenga Trade School and the Lorena Kelly’s Girl’s School. The truck was also used frequently to support Wings of Caring and the sessions of the Central Congo Annual Conference. The need for the truck is very great. With the new WNCC Conference organization, all funds may be sent to the Diengenga Trade School account which is now managed by Treasury Services. Also in keeping with the new organizational standards, all meetings of the D.R. Congo Coordinating Committee will be posted on the conference website and anyone interested may attend these meetings. The committee will continue to work with Bishops David Yemba and Larry Goodpaster in preparation to celebrate 100 years of 216 Western North Carolina Conference Methodism in the Congo in 2014. There is much work to be done and the needs are as great as ever. To be sure God is working in the UMC congregations of the Central Congo Annual Conference. David Miner, Chairperson Golden Cross In the mix of concerns for and about national health care, it is signifi cant to recall that through Golden Cross, The United Methodist Church, and its predecessor denominations have been assisting with the cost of health care for nearly 90 years. In the year 1922, the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South approved the building of church-owned hospitals to which persons who could not afford health care could go for free or cost-reduced treatment. The name chosen for that compassionate ministry was and still is Golden Cross. The designed support for this new ministry was a Golden Cross Society and Methodists everywhere were invited to “join” with a minimum gift of one dollar per year. In the bounds of the Western NC Conference, a Golden Cross hospital was built and opened in 1931, the Hugh Chatham Hospital, in Elkin. For 36 years, our conference maintained and operated this hospital, giving it to the Elkin community in 1967, where it is now a strong regional hospital. Though no longer through our own hospital, yet desiring that none of our members forego needed health care because they cannot afford it, the ministry of Golden Cross has continued. Assistance is given where our families are burdened with overwhelming medical bills. This ministry is still a vital part of the mission of our conference. As it has been since 1922, Golden Cross is still supported by offerings and gifts by the people of our churches. In the mix of national concerns for and about health care, we can proudly say that through Golden Cross, we United Methodists have been there all along, in the past 10 years assisting more than 400 families of our churches, and since 1931 assisting thousands of families. With grateful appreciation to the 95 churches that supported this compassionate ministry in 2009, Golden Cross encourages the fi nancial support of every church in the conference. The scope of this ministry depends on the support of our churches. Every dollar given through special offerings goes to assist families in our churches.

PROPOSAL: GOLDEN CROSS SUNDAY (Petition 3) Approved June 11, 2010 That every church in our conference include in its 2011 calendar a Sunday designated for recognition of Golden Cross at which time this compassionate ministry will be verbally recognized and an offering invited, encouraging every worshipper to give a minimum of $1.00 to assist families of our conference struggling with overwhelming and often unexpected medical bills. The fi rst Sunday of May is the traditional Golden Cross Sunday but another may be chosen if more appropriate for a church’s schedule. A. Gayle Ford, Director Mission Response Center (MRC) Humanitarian work continued with fervor at the Mission Response Center (MRC). “We have been fl ying with the eagles,” to use the words of Dwaine Morgan, manager of the center. 2009 accomplishments included: • Continuing collection of fl ood buckets, hygiene kits, school kits, layettes, sewing kits, and bedding kits for use by United Methodist Committee on Relief. • Three shipments of donated clothes, tools, school and health supplies, bedding, sewing materials and much more were sent to Armenia. • Donated goods were given to eight different local food pantries, shelters, and other mission organizations. • Due to local fl oods, 54 fl ood buckets were sent to North Wilkesboro and another 519 were transported to Langley, Kentucky. • In 2009, supplies worth $210,000 were distributed through the Mission Response Center. • Since the quakes in Haiti and Chile, over $429,000 in supplies have been sent out. The Mission Response Center has been designated as the fi rst offi cial United Methodist Committee on Relief Cooperating Depot in the United States. This means, among other things, that churches and conferences from surrounding states can send UMCOR kits and fl ood buckets to the MRC for storage and the MRC, in turn, can have these sent directly to nearby states for use as dictated by their needs, rather than having these shipped from Louisiana. This should make for a more effi cient system of supplying kits and fl ood buckets in a timely manner to nearby areas when disaster strikes. The heartbeat of the Mission Response Center continues to be our faithful volunteer teams, teens through senior citizens. Twenty-seven different church work teams were hosted for a total of 45 visits. They are the folks that make these shipments happen. Many come on a monthly basis and others as needed. We are grateful for these hard workers. All this work is directed by the dedicated Church and Community Worker, Dwaine Morgan, who works tirelessly planning for the team visits, arranging for the receipt of donated goods, making shipments out of the MRC, and organizing some semblance of order in the midst of what could be chaotic piles of donated goods. A hearty thank to everyone who offers generous gifts and donations. Barb and Ed Gross, Co-Chairpersons Dwaine Morgan, Manager, MRC

Project AGAPE Project AGAPE continued its vital ministry in Armenia for the 16th straight year. 2009 focused on supporting the Farm Animal project started in 2006. From 2006 to 2007, 43 pregnant heifers were given to 43 families to raise and pass along offspring to others in the community. In 2008, AGAPE celebrated with the local families as this sharing started. In 2009 seven more 2010 journal 217

calves were “passed on” to new farmers, giving hope to those families and a tangible gift indicating United Methodists in North Carolina continue to care about these brothers and sisters in Christ. Project AGAPE continues to administer the Animal Project as other cows are shared in the community. In 2009, like all over the world, the downturn in the economy has stressed the ministry. The staff continues to be dedicated and has worked even harder, giving more hours with the same amount of money (and sometimes less). They continue to sacrifi ce to help their neighbors in need. While some parts of the world are showing signs of recovery, the Nagorno-Karabagh region of Armenia is still quite depressed, and AGAPE’s help continues to be a matter of life and death for many local people. During this past year, WNCC UM donated over 1,500 Christmas boxes, as well as much needed donations of clothing, new shoes, food, sewing goods, and hygiene products. Last July a VIM building team rebuilt a local family’s home so that they would have a safe, secure, and sanitary home. In the summer of 2009, another building team traveled to Armenia and rebuilt two family homes, as well as doing medical mission work. Also, one of the 2009 building team members was so moved by God’s work in and through AGAPE that he donated a good, used truck to support the ministry. It was a wonderful gift as “The Dodge” truck has seen its better days serving in Armenia for over 300,000 miles and having had every motor part expect the block replaced at least once. The truck will be shipped in time for the 2010 team to use it in June. All involved with the project are grateful for the conference’s continued support and that of many churches and individuals. The board of Project AGAPE is responsible for raising approximately $57,000 each year to sustain this ministry. Please encourage your church and individuals to give generously. You can do so by becoming a member of the Fellowship of 1000 or making a donation to Project AGAPE. Go to http://www.wnccumc.org/mis/agapeproject.htm for more information about your ministry in Armenia and details of how to support it. You can also fi nd monthly newsletters from Armenia. Numbers 35 and 36 have information about the 2009 building team’s work. The blog has information, too: http://worlddesk-europe.blogspot.com/. Cecil Donahue, Chairperson

Town and Country Committee The 2009-2010 conference year has been a busy one for the Town and Country Committee of the Western NC Conference. The Mustard Seed Movement has been initiated as a model for the conference Covenant Peer Groups. We thank Jeremy Troxler for his leadership in helping form this model of small group accountability where vibrant ministry of clergy and laity in our small membership churches is celebrated. Four pilot groups are currently up and running. With the changing economy, Town and Country has sought to fi nd ways to fi nancially support quality ministry with similar goals to our vision statement: As the WNCC Town and Country Committee, the vision is to empower smaller membership churches and communities in transition: • To see their value in God’s eyes • To develop a sacred vision that grows into strategic initiatives using available resources • To bear fruit for the Kingdom of God This means, for example, that funds were made available for younger clergy (35 and under) to attend the First Parish Project at Hinton Center. Grants are offered to churches in the conference who share the vision. Applications are available on the Western NC Conference website at the “Town and Country” link under “Ministries.” Thank you to the Duke Endowment who funds our work, and for the shared sense of ministry enjoyed with individuals and groups who know the vitality and promise of people and churches in town and country settings. It is hoped to fi nd ways to lift up small membership churches and celebrate the good work of the Kingdom in them will continue to be found. A special thanks is extended to Mark Barden, fi scal offi cer and conference staff liaison; and, Jackie Taylor, secretary, for their hard work. David Christy, Chairperson Volunteers in Mission The preliminary reports from the conference statistician shares that the Western NC Conference continues to lead the way in sending out teams and volunteers in mission. The 2009 (including line #’s 30-31 on church year-end reports) reports include: 30 a Number of UMVIM teams sent – 611 30 b Number of persons on UMVIM teams sent – 4,690 31 a Number of other mission teams sent – 2,695 31 b Number of persons on other mission teams sent – 17,742 Following the 2009 annual conference’s Power of 3 for WNCC goals, the Offi ce of Mission/Outreach, in partnership with the Bishop and the Offi ce of Connectional Ministries produced the following guidelines for local churches to use in considering a mission team: • A mission team needs to be engaged in ministry in the name of Jesus Christ in the local community, county, conference, country, or internationally. Teams act out of love of God and for love of neighbor, and are embodying the Gospel in concrete and specifi c ways. • A mission team needs to be “missional” in nature, meaning it is to meet the understood or latent needs of the people beyond the church. • A mission team is working away from the sending church’s grounds – (i.e. a project on the sending church’s own property would not be considered a mission team). • A mission team may be local or community-based, made up of three or more people volunteering in various projects around the community. If three or more people are involved in a Jesus-like act of mercy, that is a “mission team.” • A mission team does the work in the name of Jesus Christ and is willing to name the One who sends the team out in mission. • A mission team is offi cially part of the local church’s ministry and is reported to the local church and to the annual conference (using the Year-End Report form). 218 Western North Carolina Conference The basic concerns of Volunteers in Mission are to challenge and equip people to be involved in fl eshing out the Gospel; in incarnating the Good News; in being Jesus to others; in sharing hope, healing, and hospitality; and/or in helping those who are hurting. It is love in action. In March 2010, 10 new persons were trained as “Trainers” to train new team leaders. Every team (outside of the local community) should have a trained team leader. In addition, every team leaving the continental USA should carry team insurance. Mike Collins Building Teams The world economic situation continues to hinder building team participation for 2010. Approximately 30 teams will be sent out in 2010, to 13 foreign countries and the state of Alaska. 350-400 team members will be building relationships with fellow Christians and helping with many projects. Teams will work on the renovation of a mission center, build new sanctuaries, work on additions and renovations to sanctuaries and education buildings, renovate a clinic, work on parsonages, repair and reconstruct homes, build a shelter for abused women, and work on church fellowship buildings. The Building Team Committee supports teams from local churches by providing insurance, opportunities for training team leaders, and opportunities to post project on the conference website. We continue to investigate opportunities to send combined teams with building/medical/educational components. We are grateful for the fi nancial support of the annual conference and for the many gifts received from local churches and individuals which enable us to supply building materials for the teams and scholarships for special needs. Volunteers pay their own way and give of their valuable time to be the hands and feet of our Lord, to build relationships and structures for the glory of God. Max Kern, Chairperson Conference Disaster Response The Conference Disaster Response Committee continues to train persons for disaster response and to meet needs as they are presented. In 2009, the CDRC completed its REACH trainings, providing basic resources to 12 of the 15 districts in case of future disasters. District organization and further trainings will need to be conducted. 175 persons were trained in 2009 in early response ministries. The CDRC is under restrictions from UMCOR as to how many people that can be trained at any one time. These restrictions are getting tighter and tighter, down from 60 to 50 to now less than 50 and closer to 30. There is also a restriction as to who can do the training and the materials we use. Presently, eight persons are trained as trainers and two people are waiting for UMCOR to observe so they can become trainers (for their benefi t, it is FEMA who is pushing UMCOR). The CDRC has a good fl eet of vehicles at its disposal, including pickups, box trucks, trailers, and equipment. Several of our 2005 and older vehicles have had numerous repairs, but are still in working condition. Quite a bit of time has been placed on keeping the inventory in check with the insurance requirements and staying legal with the US DOT regulations. As a result of regulations, the WNC trucks are presently not permitted to leave the state. In 2009 the WNC, through the CDRC, responded to ice storms in the Gastonia District and mountains, as well as to the typhoons in SE Asia. Since January 2010, the CDRC has responded to the mud slides in Maggie Valley, ice storms in the mountains, and of course, the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, and other parts of the world. Doug Miller, Chairperson Mike Collins Haiti Quake Disaster Response Committee The WNC Conference’s disaster response to the Haiti quake disaster has been coordinating funding for relief and recovery work, and building kits and food supplies. Rev. Pam Carter is leading efforts on behalf of the conference. The work of the Western NC Conference is in relationship with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM), the Methodist Church of Haiti, and with other Haitian partners. Work will be done “with” the Haitian people and not “to” the Haitian people as the hands and feet of Christ, making sure we do not take on work the people can do for themselves. As of March 1, 2010, the giving totals for Haiti Disaster Response was approximately $488,774. Of this, $272,562 has been sent to UMCOR and the remainder is on-hand for use as our Haiti task force deems best. Shipments were sent to Sager Brown with a value of $426,131 in kits. Thousands of kits are at the Mission Response Center for volunteers to sort through. If your church would like to volunteer, please call Dwaine Morgan, 828-308-6573. Jurisdictional UMVIM representatives, UMCOR, and the Haitian Methodist Annual Conference have discussed the procedure for moving UMC efforts forward. Sites for work, sites for lodging, and UMVIM coordinators in-country and in the USA have been located. Beyond the UMC connection efforts, our teams may be dispersed with other organizations doing on-going mission work in Haiti: clinics, orphanages, schools – institutional structures that serve many. The WNCC will target “the least of these” – women, children, orphans, or amputees – those with life-altering needs. We have had conversation with the CRUDEM Foundation, Inc. about working alongside of their efforts with amputees in the Hospital Sacre Coeur. Contact has been made with the United Methodist Foundation of Western NC, Inc., and others for possible partnership in micro-fi nancing small businesses in order to get the economy moving. This is a long-term strategy that will be envisioned in the months to come. Pam Carter, Chairperson Mike Collins 2010 journal 219

Medical Volunteers in Mission Good Samaritan Clinic: The Good Samaritan Clinic in the Dominican Republic completed another successful year caring for pa- tients through on-staff doctors and multiple visiting teams providing additional health care services. Surgeries were performed at the regional hospital and patients were treated at the clinic. Teams also visited many other area communities. A member of one of the teams became interested in the need for clean water. Working with Rotary International and in cooperation with World Water Relief, Batey 7 and two other nearby communities now have new water purifi cation systems. The public health department has already noticed a decline in contaminated water-related illnesses in these areas. Additional funding and construction teams completed a training building on the clinic grounds where courses in sewing and baking now occur. These technical college equivalent studies are improving the skills of the many people and preparing them for employment opportunities. Helping Christian brothers and sisters in Batey 7 goes beyond treating diseases. It includes enabling them to better their lives. To maintain focus and funding, the Medical VIM Committee is initiating a “Adopt-a-Clinic Day” program. For $100, the entire cost of a clinic day, including patient visits, medications dispensed, facility costs, and the salaries of the doctor and nurses are covered. The Haiti Mission: Celebrating 30 years of involvement, the Haiti Mission www.thehaitimission.org continued to send fi ve teams of 25 members each to work a week at the Tovar Clinic near Cap Haitien. The clinic is operated at other times by a Haitian staff. HIV identifi cation, education, and treatment programs continue to grow. Other associated programs which have been started by team members include: the Mamba Program – meds and food for kids which successfully treats malnourished children, www.medsandfoodforkids.org; an orphanage with schools for the orphanage and the young children in the village – no tuition needed - with an associated vocational school, and, small homes for the elderly, all in the Tovar-Grison Garde community, www.fordhaitianorphange.org; Carmilot, the School of Mercy, a new school founded near the Citadelle, with many children, uniforms, food, a library, and most of the major basics; a new and successful program of micro fi nance has given the women of Tovar and Dondon a strong base in money handling; and, another new school called the Tent School, because it is a tent near Tovar, has been started. The effects of Methodists planting seeds in Haiti and the Dominican Republic have brought forth much fruit. Though the conference is not responsible for all the programs, the presence of its work has introduced people to the needs and they have responded. In addition, both clinics have responded to greater needs due to the earthquake in Haiti and have increased outreach efforts to those affected. Mike Barringer, M.D., Chairperson Step by Step Ministries, Inc. Step by Step Ministries is seeking assistance from anyone wishing to minister to others. Its theme of “building homes, rebuilding lives, and showing love” affects the lives of not only the property owners whom it assists; but, the volunteers who give of their treasure and talent say they receive more than they give. Working in the seven western-most North Carolina counties and headquartered in Clyde, this United Methodist ministry has assisted more than 100 families during its fi rst 15 months. Volunteers have given more than one quarter million dollars in labor. Due to its success, there is now a real need for funds for more materials. “We knew there was a great need because during our disaster work following Frances and Ivan, people kept asking for help and could not be assisted as they had not been affected by these storms,” explains Jackie Bolden. “However, the existing diffi culties of six years ago have been compounded by the bad economy, plant closings, and rising costs in food, medicine, utilities, and more. People often have to decide whether to repair a leaking roof or buy food or medication.” A team that helped wrote, “We had SUCH a wonderful time and you are so organized and the people we helped (were) so grateful. Thank you for allowing us to be the hands of God.” Volunteer. Make a donation. Pray for this ministry. Get involved.

Wesley Community Development Corporation Wesley Community Development Corporation opened its doors in Statesville in 2002, funded by a grant from The Duke Endowment to the Western NC Conference. The mission of this non-profi t organization is to build “Communities of Grace and Hope” by constructing high-quality, energy-effi cient, affordable homes across the conference for all who qualify, regardless of religion, race, creed, handicap, gender, age, or national origin. “Affordable” housing is obtained through layers of fi nancing through grants, subsidies, and low cost loans such that a quality home may be built for low and very low income families, with house payments they can afford. Volunteers from churches in the conference are very important to the program. Volunteers reduce construction cost by contributing their labor to the construction of the houses, and this savings is passed on to the homeowner. Particular care is taken in construction techniques to minimize normal homeowner costs, such as heating and cooling expenses. All of the homeowners must contribute their own volunteer labor to the construction of their homes. In order to qualify, a client must have a household income below 80% of the median income for the county of residence. A 220 Western North Carolina Conference client with a household income below 50% of the median income is considered to be very low income, and special fi nancial considerations may apply. Following client identifi cation and qualifi cation, support includes a close working relationship with the client and related agencies to obtain the best possible fi nancing. Other services include fi nancial counseling, debt reduction training, support for credit improvement efforts, and homeowner training. To date, over 70 homes across western North Carolina have been completed and closed. Working in close cooperation with USDA - Rural Development, the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA), and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), eight homes were completed in 2009, including: three in Yadkinville; three in the community of Olin, north of Statesville; one in Troutman; and, two in Brevard using the “Faith-Based” program working in partnership with St. Timothy UMC of Brevard. In 2010, the intention is to complete construction of 10 affordable single family homes. Most of these homes will be in the developments in Yadkinville, Olin, and Troutman; however, we also see the opportunity to increase participation of churches throughout the conference in our “Faith-Based” program. Plans for the fi rst rental housing project are being completed. Funds for this project in Taylorsville were provided by NCHFA, with construction expected to begin in May 2010. Additional rental projects are planned across the conference. The vision is that each rental housing community will provide an opportunity to lead credit counseling and home buyer education classes at the rental community center, and many of our renters will eventually become qualifi ed to be homeowners in one of our affordable single family communities. Roy J. Helm, Jr., President Randolph H. Harry, Chairperson, Board of Directors PROPOSAL: DIRECTORS OF WESLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (Petition 4) Approved June 11, 2010 The Board of Directors of Wesley Community Development Corporation proposes that the following persons be confi rmed by the annual conference as members of that board:

3. ADVOCACY AGENCIES

a. COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN UNITY AND INTERRELIGIOUS CONCERNS The steering committee of Churches Uniting in Christ has made a proposal to the heads of its 10 participating bodies that a special focus on the history of racism in churches and hope for reconciliation should begin in 2011, since this subject had proved a barrier to further work of that body. United Methodists have recently attained Full Communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and plans are being made to celebrate the event in one or more joint services conducted by the two jurisdictions. The North Carolina Council of Churches celebrated its 75th anniversary on May 18, 2010, at Duke Divinity School with a celebration service to which all were invited in the Goodson Chapel. Bishop Hope Morgan Ward of the Mississippi Conference of The United Methodist Church was the principal speaker. The N.C. Council of Churches has recently amended its constitution to provide that it shall henceforth be governed by the Executive Board, which shall have the full power of the council. The amendments also include a provision encouraging fellowship and cooperation with other religions and faiths in North Carolina in the interest of promoting mutual respect. The LARCUM meeting of the bishops of the Catholic Church, The United Methodist Church (our own Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Episcopal Church in North Carolina was held on May 17 and May 18 at the Catholic Conference Center in Hickory, North Carolina, to which all clergy and laypersons were invited. The four bishops presented the program, which dealt with ministry initiatives, regional ministries, orders of ministry, and congregational development. Sydnor Thompson, Chairperson and Bishop’s Ecumenical Liaison b. COMMISSION ON RELIGION AND RACE The members of the WNCC Commission on Religion and Race continue their commitment to follow their mandate outlined in The Book of Discipline: To challenge the general agencies, institution, and connectional structures of The United Methodist Church to a full and equal participation of the racial and ethnic constituency in the total life and mission of the Church through advocacy and by reviewing and monitoring the practices of the entire Church so as to further ensure racial inclusiveness. Section XIV ¶ 2002 In order to fulfi ll this mandate, it is the responsibility of the WNCC Commission on Religion and Race to 1) Give Voice to the issues and concerns of racial ethnic people; 2) Counsel church leaders and members on different facets of racially-inclusive church and society; 3) Facilitate workshops and develop resource materials related to issues of racism, 2010 journal 221

diversity, and inclusiveness; 4) Empower racial ethnic groups; 5) Sensitize the church about racism, and 6) Monitor and evaluate racial and cultural inclusiveness on all levels of the church. The WNCC Commission on Religion and Race (CORR) continues its responsibility to monitor and evaluate conference and district boards, agencies, commissions and committees. During the 2009 Annual Conference, CORR members monitored worship services, meetings, and events. WNCC CORR supported the Inclusiveness Counts Campaign. Additionally, WNCC CORR is making a commitment to explore how to best advocate for the inclusion of racial ethnic constituents on the various conference boards, agencies, commissions, and committees. WNCC celebrates MLK in light of Haiti disaster: “In spite of heavy hearts grieving for the loss of life and property in Haiti, this year’s annual celebration was high-spirited with singing, dancing, and participation from a variety of cultures. From the Hmong Dancers to the New Goshen in Motion (Greensboro) and Angels of Grace Dancers (St. Mark’s UMC, Charlotte), unity was experienced in the diversity of expression honoring the late civil rights leader.” Dr. Julianne Malveaux, president of Bennett College in Greensboro, N.C., was the event’s speaker. Our prayer is for continued strengthening of our individual and collective spirits as we nurture throughout our conference unity in Christ that values diversity. Donna M. Young, Chairperson

c. COMMITTEE ON AFRICAN AMERICAN MINISTRIES The Committee on African American Ministries continues to be an advocate for Strengthening the Black Church in the 21st Century and for enhancing the relationship between all churches within the Western NC Conference. Working closely with SBC 21, Black Methodists for Church Renewal (BMCR), retired clergy, and the Christian education component of our conference, the goal of the committee for 2010-2011 will be to ensure that African American churches achieve the Power of 3 for WNCC, through training and development of clergy and laity in need-oriented evangelism, vibrant worship, passionate spirituality, intentional stewardship, and empowered leadership, enabling these churches to thrive in the 21st century. Specifi cally, the committee will: • Acquire resources from SBC21 for Congregation Resource Center (CRC) training; • Hold local monthly training sessions where partnering churches share what has been successful in their congregations; • Encourage participation in clergy and laity covenant peer groups (CPG); • Host “Facilitators’ Dialogue” to discuss items crucial to survival; e.g., use and certifi cation of lay speakers, pension requirements, ability of small churches to pay apportionments; • Assist pastors in meeting ordination requirements; • Assist churches in meeting fi nancial obligations; • Employ “Rethink Church” techniques to enhance small congregations; • Restore our Wesleyan evangelical heritage through the forming of holistic small groups which reach out into the community; • Reclaim the personal and social holiness of John Wesley through intensive missionary work that eliminates poverty, improves health, and encourages leaders to follow the Great Commission; • Assist churches to become partner congregations in SBC 21 in 2011. Through the accomplishment of these objectives, the committee will play a vital role in our conference by encouraging and enhancing unity that values diversity. Tiajuana F. Mosby, Chairperson

d. COMMITTEE ON CHURCH AND SOCIETY The Committee on Church and Society this year has continued ongoing policies and projects while awaiting further guidance from the Connectional Table related to operating within the new conference structure. Boyd Holliday continues as the Environmental Justice Coordinator, and Greg Gordon is the Peace with Justice Coordinator. District coordinators are encouraged to promote studies of the Social Principles in their areas. The committee once again encourages all congregations to have a study of the Social Principles at least once each quadrennium. To that end, district leadership conferences need to offer courses that will aid those who would teach these classes. Those in charge of lay speaking courses are encouraged to include a social-justice-related class from time to time. The Peace with Justice Fund grants offer scholarship aid to those attending Ecumenical Advocacy Days and other related training. The committee has recently approved a signifi cant one-time Peace with Justice grant to help fund startup costs for the Peace and Justice Clinic in Matthews. To be true to our Methodist heritage, we need to continue to respond to Jesus’ call for us to be salt and light and leaven in the world, to work for justice and peace, and to embrace the transforming power of the gospel. Stephen F. Lee, Chairperson e. COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES (CONAM) The WNCC CONAM consists of all Native pastors and representatives of Native Churches within the WNCC, although persons of any ethnicity are welcome to work. The goal is to train youth for future leadership in the church. CONAM has worked with the Cherokee church to send two people to Native American International camp in Red Land, California, where they received leadership training. 222 Western North Carolina Conference CONAM has continued to work with WNCC and SEJANAM. They purchased an assortment of books on Native American history, culture, and religion and made them available to Native and non-Native communities. A set of books was placed in the WNCC Resource Center. The goal has been and is to rid non-Natives and Natives of stereotypes and inaccurate history of Native people. CONAM wants Native young and young adults to be proud of their heritage. Education for Natives and non-Natives is critical in leading them to the church and thus transforming the world. In 2009, four youth attended a Native American Comprehensive Plan Writers’ Conference. In partnership with SEJANAM and Native Churches, youth are being trained to lead worship services in their churches on a regular basis. It is crucial that young leaders exist who are proud of their Native heritage and can feel comfortable serving the whole church. The hope is that they will become leaders at the local, district, conference, and jurisdictional levels. Young people are the future of Methodism and CONAM is working to help them take their place. This will truly be transforming God’s world. The CONAM has worked with Cherokee church in Cherokee, Victory in Indian Trail, and Triad Native American in Greensboro to train and encourage these congregations to participate in WNCC, district, and SEJANAM training. In so doing, Native Americans are being prepared to be leaders for tomorrow. Even though there are a small number of Native Americans in the WNCC, there exists one of the oldest Native American churches and one of the strongest urban Native American churches in the WNCC. The CONAM is very proud of the things that have been accomplished in WNCC. The CONAM has worked hard to involve Native people in all facets of the church. Neffi e Connie Locklear, Chairperson

4. CONFERENCE RESOURCE CENTER AKA THE FISHIN’ HOLE This has been another exciting year for the WNCC Resource Center. Nicknamed The Fishin’ Hole, the center continues to live up to its name with a 50% increase in numbers of pastors, teachers, and church leaders that have signed up to “fi sh” for resources. These 1,600 persons access over 5,000 resources online using our Surpass Web Safari catalog: http://wncccatalog.surpasssoftware.com/wncc/. With continued increase in membership and usage, we emphasize the “green” aspect of the Resource Center – where resources are reused and recycled, rather than churches and individuals purchasing them for one-time use. In response to Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster’s challenge Power of 3 for WNCC to revitalize local churches in our conference, the Resource Center Ministry Team sponsored several Power of 3 for WNCC workshops in both district and local church settings. These workshops were developed and led by Dr. Dana Bunn, a member of the Resource Center Ministry Team. They were attended by both pastors and lay persons. I am grateful for the faithful and good work of each ministry team member this past year and most particularly the stellar work of our Coordinator of the Resource Center, Sonja Clough. Barbara Barden, Chairperson

C. CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster lifted up the Power of 3 for WNCC goals at the 2009 Western NC Conference, setting the agenda for the Offi ce of Congregational Development for the next three years. It is believed that the fi rst 30 new faith communities and 300 revitalized churches will result in tens of thousands of new people engaged in Following Jesus, Making Disciples and Transforming the World. Starting New Churches The Offi ce of Congregational Development works closely with the cabinet in developing new churches. The district superintendent is a key agent in identifying potential church planters to enter the discernment process. The DS and District Board of Congregational Development are instrumental, as well, in identifying under-served communities and people groups within the district boundaries. The Offi ce of Congregational Development supports church planters in the discernment process, develops fi nancial resources, training, and spiritual support for church planting and makes recommendations to the cabinet for the new church starts each year. The church planter discernment process has been refi ned and extended. The new www.30in3.org website has uncovered a number of church planter candidates who are now in the discernment process. Each church planter candidate goes through a process of spiritual exploration of their call and giftedness, learns about the actual work of a fruitful church planter, explores their gifts and experience in an interview process with a trained group of clergy peers, and has the opportunity to put themselves forward as a candidate to be considered for church planting. Participation in the discernment process does not guarantee an appointment to start a new church, but it is a required process for any church plant that receives a salary support grant from the Board of Congregational Development. During 2009, new church planters were appointed to six projects, one additional project emerged out of an existing church and another from a district: • Statesville District: Christ United Methodist Church: Fairgrove Campus – Jesse Smith as campus pastor under appointment (launched weekly public worship April 4, 2010) • Statesville District: Christ United Methodist Church: Troutman Campus – John McGill as campus pastor under appointment • Lake Norman District: New Faith Community of Lake Norman – Susan Heafner-Heun under appointment as campus pastor (related to Davidson United Methodist Church) 2010 journal 223

• Lake Norman District: Williamson’s West Campus – Andrea Smith under appointment as campus pastor (related to Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist Church) • Charlotte and Albemarle District: Centro Christiano Hosanna – Diana Wingeier-Rayo under appointment (related to Matthews United Methodist Church). This is an expansion and opening of a campus in Matthews while continuing to serve the community in Union County forming a regional Hispanic ministry. • Asheville District: Haywood Street Congregation – Brian Combs under appointment - formed originally as a part-time ministry to reach people on the economic margins in downtown Asheville related to the Central United Methodist Church in Asheville, the Asheville District and the Campus Ministry at UNC-Asheville but now developing into a full-time worshipping congregation. • Salisbury District: Narrow Gates Ministry/Opportunity House – a worshipping and serving congregation alongside people on the economic margins in the Kannapolis community out of the Midway United Methodist Church vision. In early 2010, two additional new faith communities were initiated: • Charlotte District: Korean-English Congregation at Wesley United Methodist Church – Jae Lee under appointment. Initiating a bilingual congregation with worship in Korean at one service, English at a second service and joint bilingual worship on a regular basis. In partnership with Wesley, the Charlotte District, and the Korean Methodist Association. The Grand Opening of the Korean Congregation was scheduled for May 16, 2010. • Salisbury/Albemarle District: Crossroads United Methodist Church, Waxhaw Campus – Mark Appleyard serving as church planter from the staff of Crossroads United Methodist Church. At the 2010 session of annual conference, several additional church plants are anticipated being announced with Board of Congregational Development funding. A number of church planting initiatives are emerging that are fully self-funded so far. The Board of Congregational Development instituted a new kind of salary support grant designed especially for work alongside persons in economically--marginalized conditions, which requires the development of a local board that will take responsibility for building the fi nancial capacity of the emerging faith community, but also will raise needed funds from other local sources to build a self-supporting congregation. This support grant for work in these economically-challenged communities diminishes over a six-year period, as opposed to the three-year declining grant amounts of a church plant in a middle or upper economic status community. The local churches of the annual conference entrusted over $623,000 for the work of Congregational Development in 2009. This faithful investment demonstrates the tangible commitment of hundreds of pastors and churches and tens of thousands of individual people. The Vital Partners individual donor initiative is beginning to see results that will build over the next several years. The apportioned resources and the gifts of hundreds of individual donors will make it possible for the conference to provide start-up funds for 30 new churches over the next three years. It is critically important for the conference to increase its capacities in several areas in order to start this many churches: • New Church Partners for Growth emerging from among the 250 healthiest congregations. • Additional Church Planter Candidates emerging from among the young adults, both lay and clergy and from the most fruitful congregations. • Prayerful discernment of God’s leading in reaching people in dozens of communities around the annual conference. • Additional fi nancial resources through more churches fully supporting the Congregational Development apportionment from the local churches. • Additional fi nancial resources through individual donors to the Vital Partners for Growth.

Strengthening existing churches Congregational Excellence Team – The Offi ce of Congregational Development works with the cabinet and the Congregational Excellence team to identify and promote the best practices and behaviors observed in healthy churches. The groups are also working together to identify characteristic markers of vital and healthy churches. Cabinet Coaching and Consultation – The Offi ce of Congregational Development is working with the cabinet to develop coaching and consultation services to help local churches seeking revitalization. Natural Church Development continues to be an important tool in the efforts to strengthen existing churches. Much has been learned in the last couple of years about how best to use this tool. One critical key learning is that it takes an extended, focused effort over a two-year period to reap the most consistent benefi ts from the Natural Church Development process. Dozens of well-trained coaches are ready to come alongside a congregation in this process. The diagnostic tool is processed in the conference, which allows for aggregate health information to be captured for all the churches in a district or in the conference, so progress can be tracked on a large scale. Partnerships – while encouraging creative partnerships to launch new churches, congregational development is also seeing fruitful partnerships among existing churches as ways to renew their effectiveness and fruitfulness in ministry. An important feature of learning is how important it is to have a strong, healthy, growing church as one of the partners in growth and fruitfulness. There has been much experience in trying to build critical mass by linking two or more smaller, struggling churches to form a charge with a greater capacity to be in ministry, but have learned how much more effective these partnerships can be when a strong, healthy, growing church connects in ministry alongside churches that are struggling. New models for these partnerships are being developed. 224 Western North Carolina Conference Turn Around and Vital Church Boot Camps – Jim Griffi th, the conference Congregational Development coach, has adapted his superb new church planter boot camp to help existing churches learn the best practices in reaching new people for Jesus Christ. Seminars are scheduled for June 26-27, Oct. 8-9 and Nov. 13-14, 2010. These events are limited to teams of pastors and three or more lay leaders. Individual persons cannot register for the seminar. Conference Congregational Development Grants – Examining the fruitfulness of the land and building, re-missioning and redevelopment grants over the last several years, the results of those investments in terms of new people entering the church have been ambiguous. So the Board of Congregational Development continues to re-evaluate all of its grant programs to assure they are confi gured in such a way as to assure that they result in signifi cant numbers of people coming to faith in Jesus Christ. The Offi ce of Congregational Development is strengthened by the leadership of the Board of Congregational Development (the complete list of the Board Membership is found on page 17 of the 2009 Western NC Conference Journal). The offi ce is also indebted to the direction and guidance of the Congregational Excellence Team of the annual conference under the leadership of Chairperson Nancy Rankin. The district boards of congregational development provide constant encouragement and support and are fi lled with some of the most encouraging and hopeful people in the annual conference. To these superb leaders and members of the Boards of Congregational Development and the Congregational Excellence team, a debt of gratitude is owed. Steve James, Director of Congregational Development

COUNCIL ON CAMPUS MINISTRY Campus ministry offers deep vitality, innovation, and spiritual depth to students, faculty, and university communities. Because college and university students are constantly changing, United Methodist campus ministries must constantly adapt to the changing needs. As the WNCC seeks greater engagement and participation with young people, campus ministries are among our best resources. Campus ministry students graduate having experienced hands-on leadership, social justice mission work, deep prayer and study, meaningful small-group ministries, passionate worship, risk-taking programming, and Christ-centered community. They seek these qualities when they visit churches. The WNCC Council on Campus Ministry has the responsibility of enabling the most outstanding United Methodist campus ministries possible, balanced with faithful stewardship of resources provided by the Conference. To be sure, 2009 was a challenging year. Lower than normal payments from conference funds challenged every campus ministry to trim budgets, lean more heavily on fund-raising programming, and spend down reserves. The council, for its part, continued to focus on sound stewardship of reduced resources, while working diligently not to lose ministry focus. Then, in June, the 2009 annual conference contributed nearly $18,000 through the Sunday worship offering. These funds were used to support the ministries most affected by the reduced contributions. That special contribution was also used to send all of the campus ministers and two members of the council to the REFRESH campus ministry conference, annually offered by the Foundation for Evangelism—we were the only conference to send all of its campus ministers. Thanks to the generosity of the annual conference, we were able to support campus ministries both fi nancially and programmatically. Furthermore, many local congregations and individuals contributed to campus ministry beyond their apportionments. 2009 ended as a powerful testimony to the work of the Spirit through the United Methodist connection to provide the needed resources for effective campus ministry. Overcoming challenges, campus ministry in this conference still thrives. Last year we began new ministries at North Carolina A&T University and at Central Piedmont Community College. As part of the vision to have a vibrant United Methodist ministry on every college campus, the council has begun exploration of new campus ministry starts on several other college campuses in this conference. For the second year, each campus ministry was expected to apply to the council for conference funding. This application process not only determines the funding needs of each campus ministry, but it is part of the overall evaluation of each ministry. We are keenly aware that the campus ministers are extraordinarily gifted and undervalued. WNCC campus ministries are faithfully and effectively shaping the present and future of United Methodist ministry. In challenging economic times, the Council on Campus Ministry believes that we have to be bold in faith and accountable in stewardship. We are proud of the work of each of the campus ministries and the continued commitment of the conference to ministry with college students. At the 2010 annual conference, campus ministries will lead the Sunday worship service. This remarkable opportunity, the 2009 Sunday offering, and the priority given to campus ministry in WNCC is due, in large part, to Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster’s commitment to campus ministry. Yet, he is not alone. The cabinet, conference staff, Council on Finance and Administration, and numerous pastors and local churches have all recognized the profound value of campus ministry. While we are incredibly thankful, we are mindful that big challenges await us. It will take continued attention, creativity, prayer, and diligence to continue to thrive and grow ministries of which we are proud in this conference.

As a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc, in Charlotte, is committed to offering the best in services and care for older adults, across the spectrum of needs they may have as they grow older. With opportunities for physical, spiritual, intellectual, and social growth for the very active retiree; to engaging and stimulating programming for those who may be facing illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease; to maintaining the dignity and self-worth of the most frail older adults, through professional skilled nursing care; Aldersgate offers the best of the total continuum, all on one beautiful campus. Aldersgate has a time-honored tradition of respecting the aging process and offering the programs, spaces, dedication and caring people to allow adults to age with dignity, grace, honor, and fun. We continue to refi ne the operations and focus on the ministry of Aldersgate for those seniors we serve now and for those we will serve in the days and years ahead. Aldersgate, like most organizations, has felt the repercussions of a turbulent local, national, and global economy. Through continued reorganization, consolidation, and expense reduction, we have sustained action plans to assure strong fi scal and operational stewardship, while maintaining resident services; all of this with the goal of being mindful of our mission as a not-for-profi t organization - “to provide excellent continuing care services for older adults.” Structural changes, adaptability of the residents, and dedication of board members and staff resulted in a historically-low resident monthly fee increase this year. Considerable planning and coordination were necessary to execute the advantageous refi nancing of Aldersgate’s outstanding debt which will facilitate additional future capital improvements, as well. One of our primary successes continues to be the certifi cation of Asbury Care Center, our skilled nursing facility, to be able to accept Medicare assignment for our residents and for senior adults in the larger community. We continue to experience a strong relationship with Hospice and Palliative Care of Charlotte and in communication with our area hospitals, we are able to fi ll a need for additional patient beds to serve individuals with terminal illnesses who require a higher level of acute care services by professional, caring staff. We are focusing our efforts on educating physician practices about our ability to serve their rehab patients. Asbury’s patient rooms are large, private rooms with full private bathrooms. The fi nancial effect of Medicare certifi cation has been positive, as has the impact on our residents who have peace of mind knowing they have this service readily available on campus and to the larger community, as well. CCRx Pharmacy has opened a satellite facility on the ground fl oor of Asbury to serve our health care residents and those of other facilities. Aldersgate is now licensed to operate its own home care agency, Aldersgate @ Home, that will offer services such as overseeing medication, companions for physician visits, running errands, and providing assistance with activities of daily living; thus, allowing residents to maintain their independence while having their needs met at ‘home.’ Our Wellness Programs remain strong with plans underway to expand our space for residents who use exercise equipment. Staff leads exercise activities, including water-based exercises. The Resident Health Committee coordinates valuable services such as access to mammograms, facilitating the fl u shot program for staff and residents, working with the Chaplain to provide the Friends in Deed program and initiating grief support counseling, facilitated by our Chaplain. Aldersgate is a leader in providing excellent health and wellness related programs and services by high quality, dedicated, and caring staff. Aldersgate strongly encourages the provision of support to the surrounding and broader community and our employees and residents have given very freely of their time and efforts. In 2009, Aldersgate contributed to the community through reduced land leases to our campus neighbors - WNCC Memorial Center, Shamrock Senior Center, three UMAR ladies’ group homes, Alzheimer’s Association and Charlotte Museum of History … along with donation of household goods and clothing to other non-profi t agencies, volunteerism, and charitable resident care. Our residents donate their time and talents to outreach benefi t programs ranging from reading to school children to actively serving as offi cers and members of the state-wide CCRC resident association, Continuing Care Community Residents of North Carolina (CCCR of NC). Total community support represented the percentage of resident revenues necessary to continue our requirements and our mission to provide benefi t to the larger community. In an effort to foster neighborhood community relations, Aldersgate actively participates with local organizations, non-profi t agencies, and businesses in the newly-organized “Shamrock Drive Community Association.” Aldersgate is blessed to serve within the Western NC Conference as we strive to fulfi ll our mission.

Williams. 2010 journal 233 2. ARBOR ACRES UNITED METHODIST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC. Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc. (Winston-Salem), its residents, staff, and Board of Directors, worked throughout 2009 to extend the successes of the present far into the future. The mission to serve senior adults remains strong, urgently needed in challenging economic times, and dynamic in its potential to extend quality of life to the fi nancially and physically vulnerable. On the brink of celebrating 30 years of active ministry to its residents, Arbor Acres is preparing to serve excellently for decades to come. Accomplishments for 2009 are: • Extension of $1,061,967 in direct fi nancial assistance to residents whose personal resources are depleted and inadequate to cover costs associated with the essentials of life. This achievement was possible because of generous gifts from donors who themselves this year have experienced economic hardship. The 2009 annual fund drive to raise funds for fi nancial assistance to residents generated $258,036.77, a substantial amount in any year, a testament to sacrifi cial generosity in times such as these. • Commencement of construction of eight new moderately priced independent living accommodations. These one- and two-bedroom cluster homes are attractively designed, are affordable to middle and moderate income seniors, and were fully subscribed almost before the breaking of ground. Slated for completion in early 2010, these new homes enable Arbor Acres to grow in its capacity to serve. • Approval to proceed with construction of a new Assisted Living Building, an expansion to an existing MemoryCare facility, and a new residential neighborhood. This plan for Arbor Acres’ future received intense scrutiny before being approved by the Board of Directors in November. Proceeding with these projects will enable Arbor Acres to offer, in a well-designed and state-of-the-art setting, apartments for residents who need assistance with the meeting of daily needs. The MemoryCare expansion permits Arbor Acres to keep pace with growing demand for admission to its specialized facility and program for residents suffering the effects of dementia. A new residential neighborhood of approximately 20 houses for fully independent residents allows Arbor Acres to respond to growing demand for admission from seniors in the church and community. • Receipt of the SHARP Award. The North Carolina Department of Labor presented Arbor Acres coveted recognition for outstanding workplace safety, an award, according Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry, that has been presented to only 88 of North Carolina’s 230,000 employers. • Reaccreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Having met and exceeded a rigorous set of standards in governance, health services, planning, fi nance, and numerous other areas, Arbor Acres remains the only accredited continuing care retirement community in Winston-Salem. • Generous resident outreach to needs in the community. The Resident Council conducted three fund-raisers to serve such worthwhile causes as Meals on Wheels, Ronald McDonald House and the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk. In total, residents collectively raised $33,263 to benefi t local charitable causes. • Receipt of a rare A- rating from the Fitch Rating Agency. As the steward of a great mission and of resources generated over 30 years of operation, Arbor Acres remains strong fi nancially, easily within the top quartile of continuing care communities nationally. Mindful that it serves within the rich connection of the Western NC Conference, Arbor Acres extends the embrace of the church not only to the 420 residents immediately under its care, but also to their family members, to their local church communities, and to other seniors in need. This mission throughout 2009 remained the purpose, the hope, and the joy of Arbor Acres. W. David Piner, President and CEO Linda G. Davis, Chairman, Board of Directors

3. THE CHILDREN’S HOME In 2009, your Children’s Home, the oldest of the Western NC Conference Health and Human Services institutions, completed 100 years of ministry to children and their families. Founding documents state that the home was established to “support, care for, and train indigent and orphan children, and those without support and protection.” While the original primary focus of The Children’s Home was serving orphans, the home has continually evolved to remain relevant and responsive to the ever-changing needs of children and families in society. Those served today also include the abused and emotionally scarred. Our modern-day mission is “to grow healthy futures for children, adults, and families by ministering to the mind, body, and spirit.” We continued a four-year growth trend last year, increasing the number of children served by 63% to a total of 777 individual children and family members through our core programs: residential care, foster care, on-campus school (day treatment), family counseling, community services, and adoptions through services on our campuses in Winston-Salem and Franklin. Our new residential program for homeless teen mothers, “My Aunt’s House,” served nine pregnant or parenting teens and eight babies in Stockton Cottage, the temporary quarters for this program. The historic Reynolds Cottage, once fondly known as “the baby cottage,” has undergone major renovations and will become the permanent home for this program in May 2010, followed a few months later by the opening of our child care center that will serve 34 children. Another exciting new program that opened in 2009 is residential respite care for developmentally-delayed youngsters. In conjunction with our local school system, planning continued in 2009 to establish a new school on campus in the fall of 2010 to serve up to 150 students, including our residential children. We have doubled our ministry to abused and neglected children who can no longer live at home. Renovations have just been completed on Stultz Cottage to accommodate these youth. We have begun new programs for youth affected by drugs and alcohol and will open a new cottage to serve these youth by July 1, 2010. We continue to provide charitable bed space for referrals from any UMC pastor in the conference. United Methodist friends continue to respond to our many needs through generous fi nancial support and wonderful volunteering (logging 1/3 of the record-setting 9,986 volunteer hours last year.). As we ever seek ways to “minister to the spirit” of young people, we are extremely grateful for the WNCC’s commitment to support a new church start on our campus in 2010. As this new congregation develops from the local community, our campus family will be blessed as it embraces the ministry of The Children’s Home, as well. Sept. 13, 2009, marked the 100th anniversary of the opening of your Children’s Home. The trustees have launched a capital campaign in conjunction with this milestone in our storied history – to help assure that the next 100 years of this ministry will be even more successful than its fi rst. “Goodness Grows Here” is a fi tting slogan for this campaign that not only refers to our revitalized farming program, but more importantly to the healing and growth of those children and families entrusted to our care. Our kids today, and those of the future, will depend upon our church partners to continue responding to Jesus’ call to serve Him by serving the “least of these.” George M. Bryan, Jr., President/CEO

GIVENS ESTATES UNITED METHODIST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC. Givens Estates United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc., Asheville, was blessed during 2009 in spite of a tumultuous economy. We are able to maintain remarkably high occupancy at all levels, resulting in solid revenues while reducing expenses. Albeit serious measures were taken to manage the extremely diffi cult economic environment, there were no reductions in work force and the high quality of resident service and care were never compromised. We used the past year to evaluate our fi nances and operations to improve effi ciency, and to become a more responsible community for the future. Every seven or eight years, Givens brings in independent third party consultants to lead the organization through a comprehensive strategic planning process. This is a signifi cant time for Givens, which takes approximately one year and involves directors, residents, staff, and other stakeholders. Once completed, the strategic plan is integrated into the annual plan for implementation. The strategic plan augments and bolsters the annual plan, creating a substantial continuous planning process. The challenging economy did not discourage the board of directors from planning for the future. In fall of 2008, we began this process, and in October of 2009, the Givens Estates Board of Directors adopted a new strategic plan. The plan is broad and nimble with the ability to take advantage of opportunities; it is specifi c and measurable; and it has the ability to adapt to the economy and other similar conditions which infl uence our industry and future. Deep appreciation is expressed to the Strategic Planning Committee for their dedication to Givens and this meaningful process, and to the board for their bold decision-making. The Great Laurels of Junaluska continues to be a welcome addition to the Givens Estates family. The 36 HUD subsidized, one-bedroom apartments and the 64 two-bedroom, tax-credit apartments for older adults with limited fi nancial resources are fulfi lling a great need in Haywood County. We applaud the staff and many agencies and organizations in the area for their support of this project. We are humbled to be a member of this wonderful community. LifeMinistries continues to provide Christian outreach in the Asheville, Marion, and Waynesville Districts. The emphasis of this important extension of Givens is to work with local churches in rural communities in developing programs such as medical equipment closets, baby equipment and resource closets, medication assistance, and much more to address real and immediate needs. LifeMinistries is working alongside new church starts such as the Haywood Street congregation and existing churches endeavoring to vitalize their ministries and serve their communities. Givens Estates takes great measures in responding to current needs while responsibly planning for the future. We are blessed to be surrounded by quality and capable people who are dedicated to God’s calling. Kenneth M.

CHRYSALIS COUNSELING AND CONSULTATION CENTER Serving Greensboro, High Point and Lexington, the vision of the Chrysalis Centers is to be a community in which all persons have access to quality, compassionate, and affordable health care which integrates body, mind, and spirit. • A non-profi t, fee-based center for individuals, couples, families, and children referred by churches and others who may be experiencing mental health and spiritual issues. • Consult with churches and pastoral staff to provide mediation, education, and spiritual renewal for those who want to grow their connections to the health community. 2009 witnessed an increase in contacts by persons with emotional health issues of depression, anxiety, marital confl ict, and addiction recovery. The need is great but the qualifi ed workers remain few. Restrictions by managed care, state mental health, and fewer health care dollars in general means there are limited funding resources available by traditional entities. This is where the church’s involvement is so crucial. High levels of stress are making it diffi cult for ministers, both clergy and lay, to do their jobs and fi nd spiritual refreshment. Chrysalis service is attempting to build healthier congregations through direct care and consultation services. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. You are extended an invitation to churches in our conference and elsewhere to be a part of building the Chrysalis ministry by: a) Using your talents by joining the Chrysalis Board of Directors. Call Dr. Gary Kling at 336-852-0626. b) Working with your church to help build a base of education and funding which can provide immediate services to all individuals seeking emotional and spiritual needs. 2010 journal 237

Chrysalis Counseling and Consultation Center goals for 2010 Hire new pastoral therapists to serve the needs of churches and families in the various districts that served. Continue to offer a Pastoral Care Consultation group for ministers who want to enhance their skills in working with pastoral care needs in the congregational setting and grow their churches. CEU’s are provided, as well as pathways toward Pastoral Care Specialist certifi cation with the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. Funding is provided by continuing education grants and congregational support packages. Contact the director at 336-852-0626. The Samaritan Scholarship Fund has been created to provide quality, professional counseling to persons who can’t afford it on their own. In order to provide affordable, professional counseling to the poor and others, Chrysalis has raised $6,000 so far but additional funds are needed in order to start dispensing help. Contributions will extend the light of God’s grace to those who “sit in darkness” in the distress of confusion, anxiety, and depression. Please pray for the growth and development of Chrysalis Center and contribute to building the ministry of pastoral counseling and care in our conference. Gary L. Kling, D.Min., NCLPC, AAPC 7. METHODIST COUNSELING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES (MCCS) Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services (MCCS) is a specialized ministry, extending the ministry of local congregations to persons who seek hope in the midst of their despair, light in their darkness, and God’s healing grace. MCCS provides certifi ed and licensed pastoral counselors who meet persons where they are on their journey through this life. In a high-tech society, the pastoral counselors bring a personal touch. While psychiatrists offer pills to treat life’s problems, and psychologists offer limited sessions due to managed-care restrictions, pastoral counselors offer a relationship that will last as long as the process of healing takes, and at considerably less cost. MCCS serves as an important referral source for pastors, who often do not have the time or the specialized training to work with persons in local congregations that are hurting. Having qualifi ed pastoral counselors that you respect, makes referral for your parishioners a lot easier. MCCS historically serves six districts that cover an 11-county area. In the past year, MCCS provided 6,426 hours of individual, marital, family, and group therapy. They provided over 100 hours of consultation with various congregations. They also conducted 252 workshops and educational events for congregations. The MCCS website that is updated monthly with new and different information regarding special events or areas of interest. Additionally, the online journal, Kardiagram, has produced issues for the fi rst two quarters of 2010 and it has archives of past journal articles. The winter journal focused on guilt and shame. The journal can be accessed by visiting the MCCS website at www.mccsvs.org. MCCS is a service center that is accredited by both the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the Samaritan Institute. Thanks to Nancy Ratcliff, who handles the fi nances for MCCS, and John Arey, Jr., who serves as Executive Director and as a delegate to the MCCS Board, it has been an excellent year. MCCS is exploring the possibility of adding one additional staff person in the new year and is pleased at the services that are now provided. To learn more about the MCCS clinical services and sites, workshops, and consultations, as well as to make contributions to the Samaritan Client Assistance Fund to aid persons without the fi nancial means who seek professional pastoral counseling, visit the MCCS website at www.mccsvs.org. Jim Westmoreland, Chairperson John V. Arey, Jr., Executive Director PROPOSAL: BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF METHODIST COUNSELING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES (Petition 14) Approved June 11, 2010 The Board of Directors of MCCS proposes that the following persons be confi rmed by the annual conference as members of that board: Jesse Caldwell Charlie Gibbons Jim Westmoreland Laurie Knoespel Sam Smith Bill Sudyk Chris Westmoreland Roy Wiggins The superintendents of the Albemarle, Charlotte, Gastonia, Salisbury, and Statesville districts are ex-offi cio members. 8. THE POTTER’S TOUCH The Potter’s Touch provides counseling and spiritual direction service for United Methodists in the Asheville, Marion, and Waynesville districts. Through a network of trained, experienced counselors, The Potter’s Touch seeks to be an instrument of the Church in answering Christ’s call to engage in the ministries of healing, reconciliation, and hope. Through the network of trained and experienced spiritual directors, The Potter’s Touch seeks to offer help in discernment and direction for individuals and small groups seeking to grow spiritually. The Potter’s Touch offers limited fi nancial assistance for counseling and spiritual direction. Persons are expected to use insurance and pay as they are able, but the possibility of assistance makes the ministries more affordable. As a non-profi t agency, it receives support from the annual conference, the districts, churches, grants, and individual donors. In 2009, two of the spiritual directors led the spiritual formation day apart prior to annual conference. In addition, the board’s objective to increase services in the more rural areas of the three districts was addressed as new providers were approved. To help churches and individuals become aware of the ministry of The Potter’s Touch, a video was approved and will be available by June 2010. A new website www.potterstouch.net lists the providers and other information. Pat Koonts, President 238 Western North Carolina Conference 9. UNITED METHODIST DEAF MINISTRY-WNC, INC. One people group -- numbering 30 million worldwide -- will never hear the good news of God’s love, even if a missionary knocks on their door. They will never hear because they are Deaf. Isolated socially and immersed in a culture radically different from the hearing world, the Deaf have little hope of even learning about Christ, much less understanding the gospel and receiving Him as Savior. Only 2 to 4% of Deaf people in North America attend church. It has been estimated that fewer than 6% of American churches have any outreach to the Deaf at all. Few Deaf people attend and often seem disconnected from the fellowship. In most cases the few Deaf people who do come ultimately just drift away. Right now it is estimated that only 1 to 2 % of Deaf persons have a relationship with Christ. This very low percentage is inclusive of all ethnic groups and ages. The largest “unreached group” is young people. The mission of United Methodist Deaf Ministry-WNC, Inc., is “To make Jesus Christ and The United Methodist Church accessible, available, and welcoming to deaf and hard of hearing persons in the WNCC.” The 2010 board of United Methodist Deaf Ministry-WNC, Inc., is determining our part in building on the Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster’s Power of 3 for WNCC vision and contributing to its success. We believe, when looking at the numbers above, that we have much to contribute and a great responsibility as disciples of Christ to change these percentages. North Carolina alone has 40,000 Deaf (692,240 Hard of Hearing) according to the N.C. Department of Human and Health Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. If only 2% have a relationship with Christ (i.e. 800), then 39,200 Deaf in North Carolina do not know Christ. Deaf ministry will contribute to the conference mission [Follow Jesus] by bringing more D/deaf/HH into the community of believers. [Making Disciples] As more Deaf leaders emerge in the conference, they will be able to reach more Deaf by helping them “see” the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Strong Deaf leadership and Christian interpreters teaming together can accomplish the mission of making disciples. [Transforming the World] With educational programming and presentations from the Deaf ministry director and board members to churches, hearing families and friends, Deaf leadership, and Christian interpreters, the world of the Deaf can be transformed with knowledge of and love for the Lord. The board is also working with the United Methodist Congress of the Deaf in planning a birthday celebration to commemorate 40 years of deaf ministry in the WNCC in 2011. Bishop Peggy Johnson of The Philadelphia Area, comprised of the Eastern Pennsylvania and Peninsula-Delaware Annual Conferences, will be the keynote speaker. Next year is going to be very exciting for Deaf Ministry as the hearing and deaf communities join together to celebrate on the grounds of Lake Junaluska July 29-31, 2011. New faces were brought to the board in 2010. We ‘grew younger’ this year with new board members under the age of 35. Additionally, board members representing two districts not previously represented on the board also joined. We continue to reach across the conference for board members to represent all 15 districts. The new president is Beth Gobble from Salisbury, the new vice president is Wayne Giese from Morganton, the secretary is Ernestine Glenn from Charlotte, and the returning treasurer is Donna Ford of Greensboro. The board is very grateful for Kay Free who served as interim president for a few months. We would like to thank her for all the support she has given this ministry for the past six years serving as director, board member, and even stepping in to serve as president when needed. We also want to thank all of the groups and individuals that have fi nancially supported us through the years. Thank you for invitations to your churches and small groups giving us opportunities to educate and share the dreams, desires, and needs of deaf ministry. Dare we hope all people will be saved? Yes we do. And with your help we are reducing the number of unsaved deaf. Deaf ministry, like many ministries of the church, is totally dependent on the gifts of individuals and churches in the conference. It is only by the generosity of others that we can serve the ‘invisible’ people group called D/deaf/HH. We will face the challenge of Jesus to “go and make disciples of all nations” and the challenge of Bishop Goodpaster to Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, Transform the World in a prayerful manner, leaning on God’s understanding, not ours. Beverly Maulden, Director G. BOARD OF LAITY The Board of Laity works throughout the conference to develop and implement policies and strategies to strengthen the involvement and the voice of the laity in the churches of the conference. The board strives to facilitate a mutual ministry among the clergy and lay people in our churches. We work to promote and support lay activities. The board is composed of the resident bishop, the conference lay leader, the lay leaders of the 15 districts, the conference presidents of United Methodist Men and United Methodist Women, the vice-chairperson of the Council on Youth Ministries, the offi cers of the Gathering of the Laity, the director of the Laity Service Award Program, the conference director of lay speaking, the conference coordinator of scouting, the co-chairperson of the Connectional Table, and 12 members at-large. The membership also includes a district superintendent representing the cabinet and a representative of the conference staff. The board met in August at Lake Junaluska, in conjunction with the annual Gathering of the Laity. Beginning with the meeting on November 15, at Durham UMC in Shelby, we began receiving reports on the work of the three teams which are part of the Connectional Table. Caroline Wood reported on the work of the Leadership Development Team. On Feb. 28, the board met at Archdale UMC, with John Harmeling reporting on the work of the Congregational Excellence Team. Our May 16 meeting, at Huntersville UMC, featured a report from Vickie Sigmon regarding the work of the Justice and Reconciliation Team. Additionally, Ruby Mossor reported on the ministry of UMAR. The board enjoys meeting and worshipping in churches throughout the conference. The Board of Laity annually sponsors the Gathering of the Laity. The Gathering in August 2009 had a registered attendance of 844 persons. More than 100 persons also attended to receive the Laity Service Award. Speakers were the Rev. Dr. Reginald Mallett, the Rev. Jan Brittain, and the Rev. Andy Lambert. Angel Christ served as the music leader. The Lake Junaluska Singers provided music throughout the weekend. The 45th Gathering is scheduled for Aug. 13-15, 2010, at Lake Junaluska, with the theme, “Be a Living Witness.” Keynote speakers are Bishop Larry Goodpaster, Bishop Violet Fisher, and Mr. Ray Buckley. Music 2010 journal 239 will be provided by the Lake Junaluska Singers and the Sons of Thunder. Recipients of the Laity Service Award will be recognized on Saturday afternoon. Robert D. Upchurch, President and Conference Lay Leader

PROPOSAL: TERMS FOR DISTRICT AND ASSOCIATE DISTRICT LAY LEADERS (Petition 15) Approved June 11, 2010 Whereas, ¶ 659.2 of The Book of Discipline (2008) states: “The district lay leader shall be elected as determined by the annual conference for a term of not less than four years. The method of nomination and the maximum term of offi ce shall be determined by the annual conference. There may be one or more associate district lay leader(s) within a district. The associate district lay leader(s) shall be elected as determined by the annual conference. The method of nomination and the maximum term of offi ce shall be determined by the annual conference. The district lay leader and the associate district lay leader may be reimbursed for their approved expenses,” and Whereas, the current rules of the conference provide for two-year terms for district lay leaders and associate district lay leaders, with a maximum of three consecutive terms, and Whereas, the Board of Laity, meeting on May 17, 2009, approved petitioning to change the conference rules to comply with The Book of Discipline, therefore, be it Resolved, that the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church change the term for district lay leaders and associate district lay leaders to four years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms, effective for persons elected at this and subsequent meetings of the annual conference. Robert D. Upchurch, President, Board of Laity PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF LAY DELEGATES TO GENERAL CONFERENCE AND JURISDICTIONAL CONFERENCE (Petition 16) Approved June 11, 2010 Paragraph 36, Article V of The Book of Discipline, with reference to elected lay members of the General and jurisdictional conferences states: The lay delegates to the General and jurisdictional or central conferences shall be selected by the lay members of the annual conference or provisional annual conference without regard to age, provided such delegates shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for as least two years next preceding their election, and shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years preceding their election, and are members thereof within the annual conference electing them at the time of holding the General and jurisdictional or central conferences. The Board of Laity, meeting on Feb. 28, 2010, adopted and presents to the 2010 session of the conference for its adoption the following goals and principles for the election of delegates to the 2012 General and jurisdictional conferences at the 2011 conference: We commit ourselves to an election process that will guide us in a fair and equitable way and continue to uphold our understanding of holy, Christian conferencing. Goals 1. We believe each person desiring to be a delegate should be elected on the basis of the gifts and grace of the individual. 2. We affi rm the freedom of each delegate to vote as he or she is led by the Holy Spirit through scripture, tradition, experience, and reason. 3. We desire to create an atmosphere for the elections in which the Holy Spirit can work. 4. We promote the use of a booklet to identify persons desiring to be delegates. It shall contain a picture and a biographical sketch. No person shall be required to state how he/she will vote on any issue. Each potential delegate shall have one page in a lay delegate booklet, to include the name, address, picture, biographical information, and other information of his/her choosing about his/her positions on major issues facing The United Methodist Church. There would be no editing by the compiler. (Clergy candidates who run for the offi ce of bishop are permitted to provide information of this nature in their solicitation of votes.) The booklet would be provided to lay members of the conference in a timely manner, so as to allow for review and contact of the candidates prior to the annual conference session. Principles In order to achieve these goals, we recommend the following principles to guide the election process: 1. That no person desiring to be a delegate use campaign hats, give away items, host parades, etc. to promote himself/herself, and that other persons desiring the election of a particular person be constrained by the above. 2. That no person desiring to be a delegate be coerced to vote yes or no for any one issue, and that the members of the conference not be coerced to support a certain nominee because of his/her individual belief. 3. That no one involved with the election process use the names of other persons as supportive of their desires without written permission. 4. That the lay members of conference commit to an election process that “allows for the Holy Spirit to be present,” and that we view this commitment as a holy covenant. 5. That we reject inappropriate, unethical electioneering by any person or group that would be condemned by the spirit of these goals and principals. As we consider the needs of the future church, we recognize the need for greater openness and inclusiveness in the selection of our delegates to General and jurisdictional conferences. It is our sincere and earnest prayer that in the election of our delegates we will be guided fi rst and foremost by the spiritual nature of the undertaking. Robert D. Upchurch, President, Board of Laity 240 Western North Carolina Conference H. UNITED METHODIST MEN

This has been a good year for United Methodist Men in the Western NC Conference. All of the district president positions are fi lled and the districts are reaching out and organizing new fellowships. The Western NC Conference is one of the leaders in chartered men’s fellowships in the country. The executive committee continues to meet quarterly in various locations throughout the annual conference. The 2010 Annual UMM Rally was held at Lake Junaluska during the last weekend of April. The featured speakers were the Rev. Dr. Arnetta Beverly and the Rev. Dr. Kwasi Kena. The Boy Scouts were with us at the event on Saturday evening for fellowship and for awards. There was a new format at this rally with discussion groups after the featured talks, and with a time for wives and women to spend with Dr. Beverly on Saturday. To ensure regular communication with the fellowships, all district presidents are scheduling prayer breakfasts, training sessions, and placing UMM information in their district newsletters on a regular basis, as well as visiting fellowships in their local churches as time permits. We continue the four conference-wide initiatives. These include funding for The Upper Room Prayer Line, scouting, The Children’s Home and second career pastoral scholarships. All funds raised at the April rally are devoted to these emphases. The UMM Fellowships have been active this year in mission and ministry in a variety of ways, including furnishing food and supplies to those in need in Haiti. The men were asked to take an active role in missional activities on Impact Day on June 5, 2010. A district level training program for United Methodist Men called “Understanding Men’s Ministry” has been published and is available for purchase on the General Commission website, www.gcumm.org. The fi rst presentation of the course was in the Gastonia District in March and April 2010. We look forward to deploying it in many of our districts throughout the WNC Conference, and will provide training and/or teaching assistance for the course as possible. The course is also available for use by the Lay Speaking Ministries program as an advanced course. Information about programs and initiatives may be found at the UMM website, www.wnccumm.org and on the conference website www.wnccumc.org. My term as WNC Conference President concludes at annual conference this year. I will introduce the new president at that time. It has been my great honor and privilege to serve the United Methodist Men as president during the past four years. I plan to continue to serve in other capacities within the UMM organization, in answer to God’s call on my life. Dick Strachan, President I. UNITED METHODIST WOMEN The United Methodist Women of the Western NC Conference experienced another very busy, yet rewarding year in 2009 of being in mission to women, children, and youth around the world. The local units again exceeded the $1-million dollar mark by giving $1,071,726.24, an increase of $12,817.94 over 2008. Giving to the Women’s Division totaled $951,981.74: $844,618 in undesignated mission giving funds and $107,263.74 in designated funds. The 2009 pledge to mission of $815,000 was met, and for the ninth consecutive year this conference led the nation in mission giving. Support of hands-on projects continues to increase. Over 2,000 UMCOR layette kits were collected at conference events in 2009. All conference events were well-attended. “Encounters with Jesus” was the theme for the spiritual growth retreat, led by the Rev. Dr. Mary John Dye. Almost 1,000 UMW came together for a time “to know God.” The School of Christian Mission, with 330 participants, helped to “expand our concepts of mission” as we studied food and faith, The Beauty and Courage of Sudan, and Giving our Hearts Away: Native American Survival. “Sisters with a Purpose” was the theme for annual meeting in September, which was attended by 556 UMW. A celebration of the 140th birthday of women organized for mission was enjoyed. Offi cer training was held in October with 204 District Offi cers in attendance. The conference priority for 2009 continued to be public education. With the theme “For Christ’s Sake, Turn the World Upside Down through Public Education…Make a Memory with a Child,” conference and district offi cers helped local units “make a memory.” Many children have not experienced the things we take for granted. Children have diffi culty relating to things they have not experienced. Many children have never been to a public library, baked cookies, or fl own a kite. Memories are made from simple time-sharing experiences. In the area of membership, organization of seven new units during 2009 was celebrated. They were St. Luke’s and Rocky Springs/Carson’s Chapel in the Statesville District, Linville and Banner Elk/Liberty in the Marion District, Lebanon in the Lake Norman District, and Tabernacle in the Lexington District. Also, Charlotte UMW in the High Point District re-chartered. The scholarship program provided 10 scholarships totaling $13,345 to students planning church-related careers. These recipients are enrolled at Pfeiffer University, Greensboro College, High Point University, and Bennett College. The Conference Gram and district newsletters are published four times each year to keep the local woman informed of events and projects. The conference UMW website and e-mail are also available to share up-to-date information. Members of the Local Units of UMW are the ones who make mission possible with their prayers, their giving, and the many ways in which they are in mission locally. My prayer is that our commitment to ministry though United Methodist Women will continue in 2010. Mildred Carter, President J. CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON YOUTH MINISTRIES This year has been an all around awesome year for the youth of the Western NC Conference. Not only have we experienced continued growth and development of our conference events but also the expanding development of our own youth in this conference. 2010 journal 241

“Jesus is my Rock, Band Together” was our theme for SpiritUs, our summer beach retreat held at Fort Caswell in Oak Island, N.C. Based on the popular video game “Rock Band,” and the scripture, Isaiah 24:4, the youth of the conference were challenged to come together to impact our world for Christ. Eighteen-hundred youth packed over 50,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now, along with participating in 54 outreach and mission projects around the Oak Island area. The speakers were Anita Brown and Shane Claiborne and the band for this event was Hudson. Kaleidoscope, the middle school retreat, has seen the most change this year, with the change of locations and the expansion to two camps: Camp Haynes outside of Winston-Salem and Camp Tekoa in Hendersonville. “Give Me Your Eyes,” based on the song with the same name by Brandon Heath, was the theme, challenging middle school students to see the world with the eyes of Christ. Speakers for this were Andy Lambert and Chris Henson, and the bands were Elishah and Organized Chaos. Bishop’s Confi rmation Celebration is another of the youth events that has seen a lot of change since last year with the addition of a third event. BCC is an event to help new confi rmands understand what it means to be a United Methodist. BCC was held at Pfeiffer University, Bennett College and Brevard College, all United Methodist colleges in the Western NC Conference. Youth Service Fund is money raised by youth for youth. We take up an offering at every youth event for YSF. Thousands of dollars were raised that is distributed and sent out to help all over the world with mission trips, building projects, and different Christian camps. Around $10,000 was raised last year and it’s all because of your support and participation that this happened. Thank you, Western NC Conference, for always supporting your youth ministries. Philip A. Howard, President K. BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY The Board of Ordained Ministry is a 53-member board made up of elders, deacons, local pastors, and laity from the conference. We continue to partner with the bishop and the cabinet in our quest for clergy excellence. It is the goal of the board to equip clergy to be the most effective clergy they can possibly be. Our task depends on it. In order to fulfi ll our mission to follow Jesus, make disciples, and transform the world, we must commit ourselves to excellence. Being a clergy person is not what we do, it is who we are. As clergy, we are called to commit our very essence to service and ministry in the name of and on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ. While making sure the standard is that of excellence, we are also evaluating the process to ensure a spirit of collegiality and support, as candidates pursue ordination. In the March interviews, we assigned members of the executive committee of the board to escort candidates to their various interviews and stay present as a silent observer. Candidates expressed gratitude in having someone with whom they could connect throughout the process. In addition, having a board member to observe the interaction of candidates with the various interview committees gave considerable insight into the strengths and areas of growth for the candidate, as well as a continual review of the process. As clergy, we are in a unique position to affect the lives of many people. We are given the opportunity to proclaim a word from God. We have a theological heritage that has much to offer a world hungering for a deeper relationship with God, as well as a missional response that can transform the world. We are invited into the most intimate moments of our members’ lives, such as when they are preparing for marriage, celebrating the birth of a child, experiencing a crisis, or grieving the loss of a loved one. These are sacred times and provide opportunities for the resident theologians to connect life and faith. These connections require that we offer our best in ministry and mission. Ministry is a divine privilege and an awesome responsibility. As a result, we continue to work with candidacy mentors, district committees on ordained ministry, district superintendents, local pastor mentors, licensing school, residency in ordained Ministry (RIOM), as well as the process of the board for work with provisional and full connection candidates. In addition, we are looking at ways to encourage and support clergy who serve faithfully throughout the conference. We are grateful for the ministry of our clergy and hold you all in our prayers. As the president of the board, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the executive committee and the full board for their commitment and work.

Kilbourne Associate Registrars for Certifi cation 244 Western North Carolina Conference POLICY ON SEXUAL MISCONDUCT Approved by the 2001 Session of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference PURPOSE In the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, we believe that all who work and serve in the church are called to work in sacred trust with one another. The power of our covenant is founded on its vertical relationship with God and its horizontal relationship with each other. This covenant is not only the source which has sustained the Church for centuries, but also it calls us into holy accountability. In this policy, a United Methodist church professional is defi ned as a clergy person — ordained, commis sioned, or licensed — or a diaconal minister. Regrettably, some church professionals violate this covenant and rend the sacred trust given to them. Sexual misconduct is a grievous violation of this sacred trust. The Western North Carolina Annual Conference therefore puts forth this policy, not as a punitive measure, but to state clearly its position in regard to a church professional’s mis conduct of a sexual nature. Any breach of the sacred trust is hereby deemed unacceptable. We hope that this policy will guide laity and clergy to help prevent inappropriate behavior and provide a clear means to address complaints, if they should arise. THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION As a people of faith, we proclaim Jesus Christ as our living Lord. We believe that human sexu ality is God’s good gift. One abuse of this good gift is sexual misconduct. Through grace, Christ has shown us the way to establish healthy boundaries for loving and growing relationships that call us to mercy and justice. Such boun daries create relationships that affi rm the sacred worth of women, men, and children. Misconduct of a sexual nature is a clear offense against God, our neighbor, and ourselves. The church is compelled to take appropriate action to protect the people of God through the responsible use of church discipline. DEFINITIONS 1. Sexual misconduct occurs within the professional relationship when a church professional engages in sexual contact or sexualized behavior with a congregational member, client, em ployee, student, or staff member (adult, youth, or child), whether or not there is consent from the individual. Beyond the pro fessional relationship, sexual misconduct includes any inap propriate sexual conduct or sexualized behavior on the part of a church professional. Sexual misconduct includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment and any form of criminal sexual misconduct.

2. Sexual harassment is defi ned by ¶ 161.I of the Social Principles in The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (2008) as any unwanted sexual comment, advance or demand, either verbal or physical, that is reasonably perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating, or coercive. Sexual harassment must be understood as an exploitation of a power relationship rather than as an exclusively sexual issue. Sexual harass ment includes, but is not limited to, the creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender. PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING AND RESPONDING TO COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT 1. Persons who are compelled for any reason to report a concern regarding alleged sexual mis conduct by a church professional may contact their pastor, another United Methodist pastor, a district superintendent, or the resident bishop. If the initial contact is to a pastor, she/he must pass the report to her/his district superintendent without delay.

2. The provisions of ¶ 361 of The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (2008) shall determine and defi ne the appropriate process and response without excep tion.

3. When an allegation of sexual misconduct by a church professional is subject to mandatory report ing due to state law (i.e., minors or adults incapable of reporting), this shall be reported to the resident bishop and to any appropriate authorities and/or agencies.

4. The resident bishop may deploy a trained advocate in response to a complaint or incident of alleged sexual misconduct. Advocates will offer compassionate and non-judgmental support for any person victimized by sexual misconduct.

5. In all cases of complaint involving alleged sexual misconduct, great care shall be exercised to explain to both an accused church professional and the complainant their rights to fair process as provided by The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (2008). 2010 journal 245 L. BOARD OF PENSION AND HEALTH BENEFITS Pension Program and Policies In 2011, the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts will send invoices monthly to the churches for clergy appointed in accordance with the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) adopted by The United Methodist Church. CRSP covers all US United Methodist Church clergy, including elders, local pastors, and deacons, appointed within the annual conference. Invoices will be prepared using the following criteria: A. Pension Plan Compensation (PPC) is the total annual compensation reported by the charge conference for 2011, included in the PPC is the housing component. The housing is either 25% of the aforementioned annual compensation, if a parsonage is provided, or the cash paid in lieu of a parsonage. B. Clergy Retirement Security Program – Core Defi ned Contribution Part (CRSP-DC) is 3% of PPC. C. Clergy Retirement Security Program – Core Defi ned Benefi t Part (CRSP-DB) is an actuarially determined normal cost provided by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (GBOPHB). For 2011, the cost is $6,903 for each full-time clergy. For those clergy appointed ¾, ½, and ¼ time, the cost is that percentage times $6,903. GBOPHB has provided that the conference’s actuarially determined normal cost contribution due Dec. 31, 2011 will be $6,200,865. D. Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) - primarily an insurance and disability program, has provided in 2009 and prior years that premiums of 3% of PPC be paid as follows: For full-time clergy, the premium is 3% of PPC to a maximum amount of 200% of Denominational Average Compensation (DAC). If a full-time clergy’s PPC is less than 60% of DAC or if clergy serving less than full-time, CPP does not apply. The GBOPHB has provided for a three-year holiday from paying premiums for CPP. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts has elected to continue invoicing the churches in the normal manner. The funds paid pursuant to those invoices will be deposited into an investment account at the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina entitled “Clergy Pension Protection Fund.” E. At Dec. 31, 2011, and each Dec. 31 until 2017, the conference must pay $1,050,412 to GBOPHB to cover an actuarial defi cit in the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP), which provides retirement benefi ts for clergy serving from 1982 through 2006. This defi cit arises from market losses occurring in the pension program as a result of the economy. The above referenced “Clergy Pension Protection Fund” will be used to prepare for these cash contributions totaling $7,352,884 over the seven years.

The Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) provides that the Past Service Annuity Rate (PSR) for service years prior to 1982 will increase 2% per annum. The conference board is proposing that the 2011 PSR be set at $671.00 per service year, which represents the aforementioned 2% increase and is greater than 1% of Conference Average Compensation as provided by GBOPHB for Western North Carolina Annual Conference. Mark B. Edwards, President PROPOSALS: PENSION PROGRAMS AND POLICIES (Petition 17) Approved June 11, 2010 The conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts proposes: 1. That the cost of pastors’ pensions be invoiced to churches in 2011 as pension responsibility to support the Clergy Retirement Security Program. 2. That the Past Service Annuity Rate for service years prior to 1982 be set at $671.00 per service year, effective Jan. 1, 2011. 3. That the following resolution be adopted for calendar year 2011: Resolution Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired or Disabled Clergypersons of the Western North Carolina Conference The Western North Carolina Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolution relating to rental/housing allowances for retired or disabled clergypersons of the conference: Whereas, The religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed ministers of the Church (“Clergypersons”); and Whereas, The practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active Clergypersons with a parsonage or a rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation; and Whereas, Pensions or other amounts paid to retired and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to retired and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and Whereas, The Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as the appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for retired and disabled Clergypersons who are or were members of the Conference; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That an amount equal to 100% of the pension or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (“GBOPHB”), the Western North Carolina Conference Superannuate Endowment Fund, and The Duke Endowment during the year by each retired and disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson. 246 Western North Carolina Conference Resolved, That the pension or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance applies will be any pension or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefi ts accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that a retired or disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefi t under, such a plan, annuity, or fund, for such retired or disabled Clergyperson’s pension or disability as part of his or her gross compensation. NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 107(2) and regulations there under to the least of: (1) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolution) for such year; (2) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year, or (3) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Balances Due from Churches Beginning in 2007, direct clergy benefi t costs were invoiced to each local church. According to conference action, recorded in the 2004 Journal, page 234, “Non-payment of direct clergy benefi t costs (pension and health benefi ts) result in a default recorded against the church (see ¶ 639.4, The Book of Discipline 2008). While individual clergy will not lose benefi ts, the church will incur a liability to the conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts. The default will be reported by the conference benefi ts offi cer to the district superintendents, and the church will be led to correct this situation. The following is the 2009 list of churches with balances as of April 8, 2010, resulting from non-payment of direct clergy benefi t costs: District Church 2009 Balance Asheville Asheville: Berry Temple ...... $ 3,799.53 Fruitland ...... 12,026.25 Upward ...... 1,000.00 Charlotte Charlotte: Plaza ...... 7,093.75 Charlotte: Spencer Memorial...... 454.84 Indian Trail: Victory ...... 222.34 Gastonia Hinton Memorial ...... 846.68 Kings Mountain: St. Paul’s ...... 4,960.53 Greensboro Greensboro: Holmes Grove ...... 6,707.68 Greensboro: Triad Native American ...... 1,365.25 High Point Mitchell ...... 693.00 Lake Norman Redeemer’s Light (closed) ...... 8,077.50 Lexington Chestnut Grove ...... 404.00 Thomasville: Central ...... 6,862.10 Thomasville: Johnsontown ...... 4,500.00 Marion Liberty ...... 882.68 Mundy’s Chapel ...... 5,944.50 North Wilkesboro Piney Grove ...... 4,726.82 Waynesville Cherokee ...... 2,630.00 Total $73,197.45 Health Benefi ts Committee The Health Benefi ts Committee serves as a sub-committee of the Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (BOPHB), with responsibility in three specifi c areas: health benefi ts, group term life insurance, and casualty insurance. The committee is composed of at least 12 members appointed by the board to quadrennial terms, as follows: three from BOPHB, one serving as chair of the committee, one being an offi cer of BOPHB, and one being the cabinet representative to BOPHB; one from the conference Board of Ordained Ministry; one from the conference Council on Finance and Administration; two retired clergy persons; and fi ve professional persons involved in the insurance industry. Typically, there are six lay members and six clergy members. The various agencies represented nominate their representatives to BOPHB for appointment. Group Life Insurance The General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts, through the Comprehensive Protection Plan, provides a death and disability benefi t for eligible clergy, along with death benefi ts for members of clergy families. In addition to this coverage, the conference offers basic life insurance coverage of $10,000 for active clergy enrolled in the conference group health plan, with premiums for this coverage collected through the insurance apportionment. Clergy members may elect to increase their coverage by enrolling in additional coverage in the amounts of $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000. As an added benefi t, a clergy member may elect to enroll his/her spouse and dependent children. This additional coverage is available from a group policy secured by the committee 2010 journal 247 for a quarterly premium to be collected by the insuring company. The continuation of this optional benefi t is dependent on normal participation of those eligible. Newly eligible clergy will receive information about this coverage from the Treasury Services Offi ce. To obtain coverage without evidence of insurability, enrollment must be made within 30 days of eligibility. Enrollment Deadlines for Health and Life Insurance Responsibility rests with the individual to make application in writing for the group health insurance and the group life insurance. In addition, any changes in dependents’ status must also be submitted in writing. The effective date of coverage for new applicants is July 1 following the session of annual conference. Applications must be made within 30 days of appointment at annual conference. Anyone seeking to apply following the 30-day grace period will have a 12-month waiting period for all pre-existing conditions. Health Benefi ts Continuation Policy The conference benefi ts plan provides for group members and eligible benefi ciaries to continue coverage if they become ineligible for the plan. The policy is available from the plan administrator. Premium Collection Policy Payment of the medical/health insurance premiums for pastors is the responsibility of the local church(es). This premium payment is invoiced monthly. For churches with more than one pastor on the staff, the church is responsible for the payment of the insurance premium for each eligible pastor. It is the responsibility of the pastor to pay the premium costs for dependents. The Health Benefi ts Committee requires the conference treasurer to notify dependent accounts which are delinquent by sixty (60) days or more that their coverage is immediately subject to termination. If full payment is not made by thirty (30) days after the delinquency, coverage will be terminated. 2009 Financial Summary of Health Benefi ts Plans through Dec. 31, 2009 Fund 575 Fund 125 Active Retirees Asset Accounts Investment Accounts: Claims Reserve 0 Premium Stabilization 0

PROPOSALS: HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM AND POLICIES (Petition 18) Approved June 11, 2010 The Health Benefi ts Committee proposes: 1. That the Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts be authorized to secure a hospital/medical insurance contract for 2011 that will be advantageous in terms of coverage, premium rates, and administrative costs. 2. That the hospital/medical insurance program be continued for all eligible persons working 30 hours or more per standard workweek. 3. That each local charge and eligible pastor be expected to participate in the conference program of hospital/ medical insurance by contributing an amount equal to the pastor’s coverage premium for each eligible pastor appointed to that charge and that these premium payments be remitted to the conference Treasury Services offi ce rather than to the pastor or other insurance carrier. The participant participation schedule should be used to calculate the eligible pastor’s portion. 4. That premium cost information be mailed to local churches and pastors immediately after the 2011 contract has been negotiated. 5. That a pastor may exclude himself/herself from coverage by signing a written waiver, releasing the conference and any local church from legal or moral responsibility for medical or accident claims. 6.

That medical/hospital coverage be provided for persons terminated from the plan for not more than a 12-month period, with the premium costs to be paid by the person terminated. 8. That continued endorsement be given to the optional life insurance program provided by a top-quality life insurance company as supplemental coverage for active clergy. 9. That the following Retired Clergy Medical Plan, which became effective on Jan. 1, 2003, and was amended at the special session of the conference on Feb. 2, 2008, be continued: a. Benefi t Design: The basic benefi t design for all participants has benefi ts similar to Medi-gap Plan E, as approved by the Medicare Administration (complete benefi t description available from the conference Treasury Services offi ce). This plan does not include prescription drugs. b. Funding Design: i. Creation of the Retiree Security Supplement Fund, which shall be created Dec. 31, 2008. This Restricted Fund shall be vested with a minimum of $5,000,000. Subsequently, additional contributions to this Fund (corpus or principal) shall be made of all free reserve available at year-end. Free reserve is defi ned as the fund balance in excess of the Claims Reserve required by the Plan. The Claims Reserve is 25% of the prior years claims paid. ii. The purpose of the Retiree Security Supplement Fund is to secure retiree medical benefi t by contributing 5% of the fund balance (which consists of corpus or principal and earnings from dividends, interest and appreciation) each year to the Retired Clergy Medical Plan. The Fund’s contribution will reduce the Net Estimated Claims Cost of the Retired Clergy Medical Plan to the Base Estimated Claims Cost. iii. Net Estimated Claims Cost is defi ned as Total Estimated Claims Costs (including administration, stop-loss insurance and other operating expenses), less all contributions from other charitable trusts, foundations or individuals, such as The Cole Foundation. 2010 journal 249

c. Premium Design: i. Participants enrolled prior to Jan. 1, 2003, will contribute the Base Estimated Claims Cost. ii. Participants enrolled in the retiree plan on or after Jan. 1, 2003, will contribute based on “years enrolled in the Active Health Benefi ts Plan.” The contribution will be based on a percentage of the plan year’s Net Estimated Claims Cost, as follows: 1. 1-10 Years: 100% of the Net Estimated Claims Cost. 2. Beginning in the 11th year, the contribution will decline approximately 1% per year to an amount equal to the Base Estimated Claims Cost. All of the years prior to 2003 that a clergyperson has been appointed to a local church or conference position will be considered “years enrolled in the Active Health Benefi ts Plan.” d. Participants must be enrolled in Medicare Parts A & B to be eligible for the Retired Clergy Medical Plan. 10. That each participant electing dependent coverage be required to remit premium payments in the method established by the Health Benefi ts Committee and that dependent coverage remain in effect only when premium payments are current. 11. That each participating participant be required to remit premium payments in the method established by the Health Benefi ts Committee and approved by the 2009 Annual Conference and coverage remain in effect only when premium payments are current. The current participating participant method is a progressive scale percent of premium based on salary. 12. That suffi cient funds for hospital/medical coverage be included in the appropriate 2011 apportioned funds to pay premiums for district superintendents and administrative, program, and support staff members of the conference headquarters. 13. That supplemental funds for insurance for clergy on incapacity leave be included in the 2011 conference budget at Fund 507, named Insurance supplement – Incapacity Leave. The 2011 budget request for incapacity-leave clergy is $324,847. Mark B. Edwards, Board President M. CONFERENCE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INC. The Board of Trustees of the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc., is a chartered corporation under North Carolina law, in accordance with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, subject to the instructions of the annual conference and its offi cers. Investments: a. Four funds under trustee management are invested through The United Methodist Foundation of our conference. b. The yearly distribution of earnings from these funds is based on the following scale: The General Fund, 35.8%; the Higgins Fund, 31.3%; the Centenary-Rutherford Fund, 12.9%; and the Jesse Spencer Bell Fund, 20.2%. Earnings during 2009 were distributed to the following designated benefi ciaries: Western NC Conference Board of Pensions ...... $ 4,115.39 Western NC Conference United Methodist Women ...... $ 1,889.34 Brevard College ...... $ 3,348.43 Total Distribution ...... $ 9,353.16 The Conference Memorial Center: The trustees continue to monitor the operational expenses of the Conference Memorial Center in Char lotte, keeping in close touch with the conference treasurer-director of administrative services, who manages the building on our behalf. We receive monthly reports from the Treasury Services Offi ce, and we seek to work with that offi ce for effi cient operation of the center. The fi nancial items concerning the Mem orial Center reported by the Council on Finance and Administration refl ect the recommendations of the trustees. The Episcopal Residence: The conference-owned Episcopal Residence is cared for through the Episcopal Residence Committee, constituted according to the provisions of the Discipline. Julia M. Hite, of our board, serves as our rep resentative on this committee. Risk Management Sub-Committee: After meeting with representatives of the United Methodist Property and Casualty Trust (PACT) in 2006 and further study of the positive effects of risk management in lowering insurance costs, the board ap pointed a Risk Management Sub-Committee. The three members of the sub-committee are Roslyn Harris (chairperson), Sam Moore, and Dan Gobble, all of whom have insurance industry experience and/or high interest in the benefi ts of risk management. The sub-committee hopes to provide helpful re source information to local-church trustees via district leadership conferences, collection of insurance data, and a simple survey of coverage. The sub-committee conducted a survey of local church property and casualty insurance coverage in 2007 and produced and mailed 2008 summary report of its fi ndings for all local churches to use when establishing their insurance coverage. The committee thanks the many churches which responded to the survey. Other Concerns of the Board: a. The board and its legal counsel as necessary review property matters involving local churches, dis tricts, and institutions of the conference. These matters are then reviewed by the full board at its meetings in February, June, and November. 250 Western North Carolina Conference b. We call to your attention ¶ 2532.2 of The Book of Discipline (2008), which describes specifi cally the responsibilities of the local church board of trustees for the risk management of church property and personnel. The Board of Trustees encourages the Council on Finance and Administration to adopt an administrative program that provides to local trustees, treasurers, fi nance chairs, and pastors the risk-management memos from the General Council on Finance and Administration. These plans will be very benefi cial to the local churches and assist in risk management and loss control. c. We also call to your attention the Guidelines for Local Church Incorporation, advisory letter. The board understands that the “Safe Sanctuaries” program encourages local-church incorporation and, further, that incorporated local churches need to have support from the conference to maintain their records in accordance with North Carolina state law. The guidelines have been revised to include a step sheet, information on conveying church real property with the trust clause to the new corporation, conveying the church bank and securities accounts to the corporation, and obtaining new state and federal tax-identifi cation numbers for the new corporation. d. The conference Board of Trustees is often asked to take action on abandoned buildings and ceme teries. Much of our work involves determining conference responsibility for maintaining these proper ties and/or the legal authority to transfer or sell them, consistent with actions of the annual con ference. The board will continue to work with the cabinet in taking necessary action on abandoned properties, consistent with The Book of Discipline and North Carolina state laws. The board has au thorized support for a property facilitator to assist district offi ces with property management details. The property facilitator and management expenses are funded from property sales proceeds and the balance remaining split between the district and conference congregational development, 75% and 25%, respectively. Further, the Board has created an Urban Ministry in accordance with the 2008 Book of Discipline [¶ 2548, ¶ 212] which established a formal requirement for proceeds from sales of closed urban church property be spent in accordance with the conference Urban Ministry Strategic Plan. The Connectional Table has established the Urban Ministry Strategic Plan and created the guidelines for use of these funds according to the plan. e. The cabinet and the conference Board of Trustees have worked together on a policy providing for trustee review and approval of disposition of all church properties that are discontinued or abandoned before action is taken by the annual conference. f. Please note ¶ 2548.4 of The Book of Discipline, which specifi es that all deeds, records, and other offi cial and legal papers of an abandoned or otherwise discontinued church shall be deposited for per manent safekeeping with the Commission on Archives and History of the annual conference. The Board of Trustees has entered into a cooperative arrangement with the Commission on Archives and History which will make the conference archives offi ce in Charlotte a much more effective central re pository for such information. We encourage all district boards of trustees, cabinet members, and others to keep the conference archives offi ce informed about such properties and to call the archives offi ce when information is needed. The property project to index all discontinued, abandoned, and ac tive property in our conference has been completed, and we anticipate that these fi les will be of great benefi t to our conference. g. The board has prepared a Property Matters binder and distributed to district offi ces a step sheet, based on The Book of Discipline and the 2001 Legal Manual of the General Council on Finance and Administration, to be used by all parties in the event of the discontinuation or abandonment of local church property. h. The Risk Management Sub-Committee of the WNCC Board of Trustees strongly advises all churches to review the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for the U.S. Department of Transportation Number to take appropriate action to comply. Failure to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations, pertaining to all church vans, trucks and buses, could result in major fi nes.

O. COMMITTEE ON APPEALS No matter requiring the attention of the Committee on Appeals has been referred to it during the 2009-2010 conference year. Mark Richard Smith, Chairperson P. COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY The Commission on Archives and History is the agency within the annual conference which is charged with being the central record-keeper and collective memory of the work of the conference. As such, we conduct a “Ministry of Memory” as we seek to collect, preserve, and record the story of how God has been and continues to be at work in the hearts and lives of the people called United Methodist in the Western NC Conference. As we seek to live out this function, our conference archival collection continues to grow with the continuing collection of the historically signifi cant records of the annual conference and its agencies, the records of closed and abandoned churches, and other historically pertinent documents as mandated by The Book of Discipline (¶ 641). The second revised edition of To Be Faithful to Our Heritage nears completion, and publication of that work should occur in the near future. We greatly appreciate the diligent work that our conference historian, Dr. Linda P. Addo, has done in recording the story of African American United Methodists in North Carolina. Her efforts to ensure that this portion of our conference’s story is told and remembered are deeply appreciated. We will publicize purchase information (including price) as soon as possible. We rejoice with the churches within our conference that are celebrating signifi cant anniversaries this year, and encourage each congregation to discover and celebrate what God has done throughout their history. A special display highlighting the life and ministry of our anniversary churches can be found at the commission’s display in the Terrace Hotel lobby during annual conference. These churches will also be recognized in a video presentation during annual conference and at the meeting of the Conference Historical Society on May 1. Among the churches celebrating their sesquicentennial this year are English Chapel (Transylvania County), Fairmont (Iredell County), Fines Creek (Haywood County), Hill’s Chapel (Lincoln County), Love’s Grove 252 Western North Carolina Conference (Stanly County), Mountain Grove (Burke County), Pine Grove (Stanly County), Plateau (Catawba County), Price (Rockingham County), Red Hill (Mitchell County), Sweetwater (Clay County), Union Grove (Union County), and Warlick’s Chapel (Burke County). Those celebrating their centennial in 2010 include Marion: Addie’s Chapel (McDowell County) and East Flat Rock (Henderson County). This partial list will be updated (if needed) in the conference Journal. We congratulate these churches upon reaching these signifi cant milestones in ministry and mission, and pray God’s special blessings upon each of them. God has been and continues to be at work in and among the people called Methodist. We have a glorious story to tell about what God is doing. May God help us to continue to build upon our past as we enter the future, sharing with others the Good News of Jesus Christ our Lord. James L. Pyatt, Chairperson WESTERN NC CONFERENCE HISTORICAL SOCIETY The year 2010 marks the completion of terms in offi ce for the offi cers of the historical society, who have served for the past four years. New offi cers are to be elected at the annual meeting of the society prior to the annual conference. The past four years have been challenging for the society, as it has struggled with poor attendance at meetings and diffi culties in communicating with members. It is hoped that the new offi cers will bring a renewed enthusiasm and vigor to the society. Under energetic and aggressive leadership, the society could be a valuable resource for all those in the conference who are interested in learning about and preserving the rich heritage of Methodism in western North Carolina. Russell Ford, President

Q. CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS’ FELLOWSHIP Recognizing the importance of Christian education in faith formation, nurture, and discipleship, the Christian Educators’ Fellowship (CEF) exists to promote and strengthen Christian education in local churches, districts, and the conference. In addition, CEF seeks to be supportive of Christian educators, both on professional and personal levels. The WNCC chapter of CEF is continuing to ensure continual growth through updating the by-laws, reaching out to all churches of the conference with an educational mailing on CEF benefi ts, providing scholarships for members to many national seminars, providing many local and regional educational opportunities and retreats, and much more. We encourage all individuals who participate in all forms of Christian education to join the local CEF and enjoy the additional benefi ts of connectionalism within CEF and the church. Christian education seminars are held throughout the year in various districts for the sake of equipping people who are not certifi ed under the requirements of the Board of Ordained Ministry. These seminars include, “United Methodist Curriculum,” “United Methodist Connection,” “Administration of the Christian Education Program,” “Age-Level Ministries,” “Theology of Christian Education,” and “Basic Bible Study Approaches.” In addition, Christian educators are encouraged in all areas to strive for professional, undergraduate, and paraprofessional certifi cation in specialized ministries within The United Methodist Church and CEF is proud of the many individuals who have obtained certifi cation in several areas of ministry. Churches are encouraged to recognize the importance of providing continuing educational opportunities for their education staff both in local and national venues. The National CEF Conference will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, in late October 2010. Dana A. Hanlon, President R. COMMISSION ON COMMUNICATION The Commission on Communication is the basic support group for communication in the conference and is charged with interpreting and supporting other areas of the conference in presenting and telling their stories. The Commission’s mission statement is: Equipping United Methodists in western North Carolina to show and tell the story. The commission has set as its agenda three primary objectives (as a part of the Power of 3 for WNCC) for the 2009-2012 quadrennium to ensure the highest level of communication and the utmost fi nancial responsibility and stewardship. The fi rst objective is for a complete and thorough audit of communications within the conference. The audit, being conducted with partnership and funding from United Methodist Communications (UMCom), will determine the proper strategies and types of communication for any/all available communication vehicles (print, visual, web-based, etc.). This audit will be accomplished at no increased budget cost to the conference. The audit’s fi ndings will result in specifi c recommendations for the conference to increase its communications effectiveness, strengthen its image, and assist in achieving its mission statement. Further, the fi ndings become the foundation on which future communications planning can be more effective for the conference at all levels. The audit’s fi ndings provide the basis for the preparation of a comprehensive communications/marketing/public relations plan. The ultimate purpose of this audit is to help the conference (conference offi ce staff, districts, and churches) effectively tell the good news story and transform people’s lives. Update for 2010 Annual Conference: the communication audit is well underway with the fi rst stage of focus groups involving laity and clergy complete. The second phase, an electronic survey (with local church capability to make paper surveys), is currently underway. The third phase will be tabulation of all information collected and the fi nal phase (to be completed by the end of the 2010 calendar year) will be the presentation of the audit results and recommendations to move forward in 2011. The second objective is ‘resourcing for communications.’ This objective would answer the basic question of ‘what do the churches of the conference need to assist them in completing their church mission?’ The available resources for any/ 2010 journal 253

all churches would be gathered, categorized, and then fully communicated. This would include: ways our resource team can help churches identify and utilize conference and General Church resources which relate to their missions; establishing better connectionalism between conference communicators and local church communicators; training for district and local church communicators; periodic e-messages for local church and district communicators related to available technology to allow sharing of information on ministries and outreach ideas; providing public relations and communication ‘tip’ sheets for not only accurate communication, but education, as well, etc. All of the above will be accomplished with minimal cost and will improve communication by equipping the local church with existing and new tools to go and make disciples. Update for 2010 Annual Conference: currently in progress with updates communicated as available through WNCC e-News. Each one of the above mentioned goals for this objective will be thoroughly communicated with details that will explain how each local church (and church communicators) can best resource their current and future communication needs. The third objective will assist in fulfi lling our denominational mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We can start in our own local churches to reach those who are seeking a relationship with God. A major part of local church evangelism is being a welcoming congregation by showing kindness, acceptance, and hospitality to everyone. The Western NC Conference will place an emphasis on Igniting Ministry, the television and welcoming ministry of The United Methodist Church. The WNCC Commission on Communication is partnering with United Methodist Communications to provide training and resources that will equip local congregations to more effectively reach seekers (resources and training such as, but not limited to: Web page updates and construction, certifi cation as a ‘Welcoming Congregation,’ RETHINK CHURCH training to assist congregations to more effectively communicate with spiritual seekers – and meet the needs and interests of – people under the age of 40). This objective will provide training and information that can enable congregations to fulfi ll the conference vision to Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, Transform the World. Update for 2010 Annual Conference: RETHINK CHURCH is in full deployment within the conference. Training sessions have been conducted at District Leadership Conferences and in scheduled training sessions. These sessions have included an overview of Rethink Church, Welcome – Basic Welcoming Training, Connect – Advance Welcoming Skills, and Identify – Creating a Unique Identity. RETHINK CHURCH also emphasizes that each church update their free Web page. Using UMCom’s Find-a-Church feature on the new Rethink Church (www.rethinkchurch.org) and 10 Thousand Doors (10thousanddoors.org) websites, seekers can enter a zip code and fi nd United Methodist Churches in that area. They can select churches and view their Find-a-Church page to fi nd out information about its services, programs, ministries, and people. At annual conference, we will celebrate the IMPACT COMMUNITY events conducted in each district on Saturday, June 5. This major evangelistic outreach program has touched many lives not only at the events of June 5, but on a continuing impact basis in 2010 and beyond. In addition to these three objectives for the quadrennium, the conference website www.wnccumc.org is continually being updated and improved. We encourage all clergy and laity to subscribe to the weekly WNCC e-News, with convenient ministry links. Inform your congregation to go to www.wnccumc.org and click the WNCC e-News oval button on the right side of the screen and then click the ‘Click here to subscribe now’ link and follow the instructions to subscribe. Thank you for your support of the Commission on Communications and your time in reading this report. T. Gregg Plott, Chairperson

S. CONFERENCE STAFF RELATIONS COMMITTEE The role of the Conference Staff Relations Committee (CSRC) of the Western NC Conference is to act as a human resources committee with regard to conference employees and functions as would the Staff Relations Committee of a local United Methodist Church. The CSRC also recommends the salaries of the 15 district superintendents. One of the objectives of the CSRC during the past conference year was to give opportunities for the members of the conference staff to know that they are valued components of our conference and that their concerns and hopes need to be heard. For this reason, the opportunity was given to each staff member to meet with the CSRC chairperson on an individual basis. The CSRC has also taken several opportunities to express its gratitude to the staff; particularly during the Christmas season. This past year has been one of great challenge, as committee members have worked diligently to be fi scally responsible during these diffi cult current economic times, while at the same time, seeking to fairly compensate the loyal employees. As the new year began, the committee was pleased to be able to reinstate the pension and salary reductions that had been implemented the previous year. Yet, as time went on, it was determined that changes would need to be made to the structure of the conference staff. The CSRC, under the guidance of Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster, implemented a new conference staff confi guration that the committee believes will carry the conference effi ciently into the future. This, regretfully, means that some very fi ne employees are no longer working for the conference. While the personal touch these employees brought to the conference can never be replaced, it is the belief of the CSRC members that changing needs necessitated this action. Reorganization of the conference staff has been a topic of conversation for the past four years, and it was determined that now was the time to make that alteration a reality for both functional and economic reasons. The goal of the CSRC in the coming conference year will be to help the conference staff implement and be successful under the new structure. It is anticipated that the Information Technologies department will be heavily involved in this transition as it continues to fi nd ways for staff to communicate with the greater church in a more effi cient manner, using available technologies. The CSRC also will continue to support the staff in any way possible to create for employees an environment that is conducive to effi ciency and well-being. Stephen D. Haines, Chairperson 254 Western North Carolina Conference T. COMMITTEE ON THE EPISCOPACY “Finding Balance” Christ told us that he came so we might have life and have it abundantly. Wise people agree that an abundant life means that in addition to time spent in our ministries, we need time to relax, to spend time with our family and friends, and to rejuvenate. With a bishop who works at a 90 miles per hour pace, faithfully serving our conference, in addition to his role as President of the Council of Bishops, fi nding “down time” can be a challenge. That’s why as part of this committee’s effort to hold Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster accountable, we have asked that he include “down time” in his schedule – and we ask him during our ongoing meetings how that’s going. The physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our bishop is vital, and we must remember that his wife, Deborah, needs his support and presence as much, if not more, than we do. We encourage our good members of this conference to be mindful of the personal needs of these two, knowing that Bishop Goodpaster will be at as many events as his schedule will allow. In addition to holding the bishop accountable for his personal well-being, at the time this report comes out this committee will have just been involved with the second phase of a “360” process designed to provide feedback to Bishop Goodpaster on his management style and effectiveness. The fi rst phase was in September 2008, when his “coach” interviewed the bishop’s former co-workers in an effort to secure information that would be constructive in helping the bishop achieve excellence in his ministry. During the second phase, the coach will secure feedback from members of this committee – and others – to see what has improved and where the bishop’s opportunities for growth may be. While this process provides useful information about how the bishop’s energy may best be used, he says how well our conference is responding is the most crucial indicator for him. The “word on the street” is very meaningful to him, as well. Accountability is key as the Southeastern Jurisdiction is also working on an evaluative tool to be used with bishops. Our representatives to that committee - Betty Jo Hardy and Andy Langford - report that the document is a work in progress. Our committee remains strong in our faith that God had brought Bishop Goodpaster and Deborah to our conference to do great things for Christ’s kingdom, and we affi rm our support of the bishop and our faith for a future ordained by God. Maggie Tilley, Chairperson

U. EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE COMMITTEE The Episcopal Residence Committee is pleased to report that Bishop and Mrs. Larry Goodpaster have settled into the residence and have been comfortably using and enjoying their new residence at 2506 Windsor Crescent Court in Charlotte. The residence endowment reserve now stands at $76,755.60 (as of 12/31/2009). For 2010, the committee, after discussion with Bishop Goodpaster, requested only $5,000 for the general upkeep and utilities of the residence. This represented a 50% reduction from prior years. For 2011, the committee is requesting that the amount be restored to $10,000. The committee, in consultation with Bishop and Mrs. Goodpaster, will continue to monitor expenses and request funding as is appropriate and necessary. Jennifer P. Davis, Chairperson V. COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE COMPENSATION (CEC) Policies and Guidelines for Administering the Equitable Compensation Fund (Calendar Year 2011) 1. Policies Pertaining to the Commission on Equitable Compensation: Paragraphs 342 and 625 of the 2008 Book of Discipline direct the Commission on Equitable Com pensation (CEC) to recommend a minimum level of pastoral compensation for clergy serving as local church pastors under episcopal appointment and to administer the Equitable Compensation Fund (ECF) as a source of funding of last resort for pastors-in-charge in order to maintain a living, equitable level of compensation for these itinerant ministers. a. Executive Committee: During each quadrennium, at its organizational meeting, the CEC shall elect an executive committee consisting of a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary, and ad ditional members from the full commission as needed, so that the executive committee consists of an equal number of clergy and lay persons. The assistant to the bishop and a cabinet representa tive will serve as ex-offi cio members of the executive committee. b. Defi nition of Compensation: As used by the CEC, the term “compensation” includes the annual amount designated as cash salary for service rendered, additional insurance premiums over and above the conference-approved program of individual medical insurance for clergy, accountable professional expenses, household expenses paid by the local charge, and other fringe benefi ts. Compensation does not include housing allowance in lieu of parsonage to the extent of actual housing expenses, fair market value of supplied parsonages, reimbursement for parish-related travel expenses paid by the local charge to the extent of actual travel expenses or use of an auto mobile for parish travel purposes, funds provided for continuing education to the extent they are used for that purpose, bona fi de gifts or honoraria for special services, allowances for moving ex penses paid by the annual conference or local church, or individual medical insurance premiums in the amount of the conference-approved program of insurance for clergy. 2010 journal 255

2. Types of Grants Two categories of support are available from the ECF: emergency sustentation grants and regular grants. a. Emergency sustentation grants are available under the provisions of ¶ 626, which states that each church or charge has an obligation to pay in full compensation, as approved by the charge confer ence, to its pastor(s). If it becomes apparent that a church or charge will be unable to so provide the compensation approved by the charge conference, the church or charge shall immediately notify the district superintendent and may request consideration for a short-term emergency grant from the Eq uitable Compensation Fund (cf. also ¶ 625). b. Regular grants are available for those churches or charges which, at their annual charge confer ences, determine that they will be unable to provide compensation at the minimum level set by our annual conference. In cooperation with the bishop and cabinet, the CEC offers grants, on a declining schedule, totaling no more than 30% of the appropriate minimum pastoral compensation for a period of three or fewer years. In the fi rst year, a church or charge may receive up to 100% of the maximum available grant; in the second year, up to 70%; in the third year, up to 40%. During this period, the church or charge must adopt and follow a plan, approved by the district superintendent, that elimi nates the need for this assistance. After the third year, a church or charge will not automatically be eligible for a regular grant. Representatives of the CEC shall consult with the district superintendents about any clergyperson or church that has received equitable-compensation grants for fi ve consecutive years. 3. Defi nitions and Classifi cations of Pastors a. Full-Time Pastors: Subject to these policies and guidelines, pastors appointed to full-time service under ¶ 338.1 or ¶ 318.1 shall have a claim upon the ECF and shall not receive less than the min imum compensation specifi ed in the current schedule (¶ 342). b. Pastors Serving Less Than Full-Time: Subject to these policies and guidelines, elders and provisional members serving as pastors appointed to less than full-time service under the provisions of ¶ 338.2 shall have a claim upon the ECF in one-quarter-time increments of either ¾, ½, or ¼ time as negotiated by the district superintendent at the time of the appointment, receiving not less than this percentage of the minimum compensation specifi ed in the current schedule. c. Pastors Attending School: Subject to these policies and guidelines, a pastor appointed to a church or charge who is enrolled in good standing in a college or seminary for a minimum of nine hours per semester or equivalent in fulfi llment of the requirements for conference affi liation and who is not otherwise gainfully employed shall have a claim upon the ECF in an amount based upon the one-quarter-time increments as negotiated by the district superintendent at the time of the appointment, which shall not exceed ¾ time. In determining the compensation for a pastor attending school, grants received for educational expenses shall not be considered as part of compensation. Pastors who discontinue or complete their studies and intend to be considered as serving full-time shall be compensated at that level only after certifi cation by the CEC. d. Part-Time Local Pastors and Retired Supply Pastors: Since the ECF is designed to support those in full-time services as pastors of our local churches, those charges utilizing part-time local pastors or retired supply pastors shall not have a claim upon the ECF. e. Pastors Engaged in Continuing Education: Inasmuch as continuing education is required of all ordained clergy, no pastor engaged in a program of continuing education under ¶ 351 shall by rea son of such study leave be denied the minimum compensation support as specifi ed in the current schedule, except that in cases of educational leave in excess of one month, the Supplement shall be adjusted as negotiated by the district superintendent and the CEC. f. Deacons in Full Connection: As provided in ¶ 331.14b, deacons in full connection serving within the local church “shall receive a salary from the local church, charge, or cooperative parish not less than the minimum salary established by the equitable compensation policy of the annual confer ence for full-time and part-time pastors,” although these entities should be reminded that they are fully responsible for the compensation of these individuals. If the bishop and cabinet appoint a dea con in full connection to a position as pastor-in-charge of a local church or charge, that individual shall have a claim upon the ECF and shall not receive less than the minimum compensation specifi ed in the current schedule for elders in full connection. 4. Request Procedures Regular grants from the CEC must be requested by a formal action of the charge conference, supported by a written grant application, using the CEC form available through the conference web page, and signed by the district superintendent, the pastor, and the secretary of the charge conference. Requests must be completed in full and be accompanied by all required documentation in order to be processed by the CEC. Required documentation must include, but is not limited to: written plan for decreasing reliance on equitable compensation and letters of support from pastor, church leadership, and district superintendent. The more information the CEC has about a local church situation the better equipped the CEC is to provide support. Requests must be made at least 30 days prior to the month when the assistance is to commence. In these cases, the local church or charge must pay at least 70% of the minimum applicable to its pastor. For emergency sustentation grants, the district superintendent is responsible for submitting documentation to the cabinet and CEC executive committee for immediate processing, approval, and payment authorization. 256 Western North Carolina Conference 5. Guidelines for Recommending Minimum Compensation The CEC desires to recommend minimum pastoral compensation that is equitable for both churches and pastors. We acknowledge that economic conditions vary across our annual conference. To be equitable, therefore, we must be aware of the fi nancial impact of our recommendations upon the local churches in order not to make pastoral support an excessive burden, while providing our clergy with fair, living, and equitable compensation. In making our recommendations, we refer to changes in the North Carolina per capita Income (NCPCI), as maintained by the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis, on a two-year-lag basis (the earliest time for which data are obtainable). The NCPCI offers a true measure of the underlying economy in which our congregations exist and is independent of our own conference actions. We give additional consideration to the two-year-lag Conference Average Compensation (CAC) and other measures of the health of our churches and the economy as deemed necessary, segmenting the minimum compensation levels into the following categories: • Elders and Deacons in Full Connection. • Provisional/Associate Members. • Local Pastors who have completed the Course of Study/M.Div. • Local Pastors who have not completed the Course of Study. PROPOSAL: EQUITABLE COMPENSATION POLICIES AND GUIDELINES (Petition 20) Approved June 11, 2010 The CEC proposes the adoption of these policies, defi nitions, and classifi cations for administering the ECF and these guidelines and schedules for recommending minimum compensation for 2011. A. Allocation of Requested Equitable Compensation Fund Budget for 2011: Emergency Sustentation Grants ...... $ 10,000 Regular Grants ...... 285,000 Expenses of the Commission ...... 5,000 Total ...... $300,000 B. Schedule of 2011 Minimum Compensation for Clergy Serving Full-Time Appointments (without change in status or appointment in 2010) For those clergy and churches without a pastoral change for the 2010-2011 conference year, the 2009 minimum compensation levels remain in effect (see 2008 Conference Journal, p. 283). Elders and Deacons in Full Connection ...... $40,101 Provisional/Associate Members ...... 35,935 Local Pastors who have completed the Course of Study/M.Div...... 33,691 Local Pastors before completion of Course of Study ...... 32,086 Students Appointed as Local Pastors ...... 25,271 C. Schedule of 2011 Minimum Compensation for Clergy Serving New Full-Time Appointments (with change in status or appointment in 2010) These compensation levels applicable for clergy and churches receiving a new appointment or clergy with a change in status for 2010. Elders and Deacons in Full Connection ...... $38,095 Provisional/Associate Members ...... 34,138 Local Pastors who have completed the Course of Study/M.Div...... 32,006 Local Pastors before completion of Course of Study ...... 30,481 Students Appointed as Local Pastors ...... 25,271 Angela Rogers Marlowe, Chairperson Paulette Norman, Vice-Chairperson Cynthia L. Arnold, Secretary W. COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS The Committee on Nominations presents this report of changes since those approved at the last annual conference.

X. ANNUAL CONFERENCE MEETING TASK FORCE The Annual Conference Meeting Task Force, which was formed at the direction of the 2008 Annual Conference for the purpose of evaluating the content and location of the annual meeting, recommends to the 2010 Annual Conference that next year’s meeting on June 9-12, 2011 be held at the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, NC. The standing Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting joins the task force in making this recommendation. Because the Western NC Conference has a long and wonderful association with the Lake Junaluska Assembly, this recommendation comes only after careful study and refl ection. For almost 50 years, after local churches no longer could accommodate the size of our meeting, the Western NC Conference has held its annual meeting at the Lake. We have worshiped, ordained, and held holy 258 Western North Carolina Conference conferences around these waters. Task force and committee members appreciate the efforts made by the Lake Junaluska staff to increase the comfort and enjoyment of the 2009 and 2010 annual meetings for Western NC Conference delegates. Examples of improvements to the facilities include additional venues for viewing the business sessions and worship services, outside amplifi cation speakers, vendors to bring a variety of lunch options onsite, and clean portable rest rooms. Task force and committee members hope and expect that the partnership between the Lake Junaluska Assembly and the Western NC Conference will continue and be strengthened in coming years in many Western NC Conference sponsored events. The Assembly grounds and facilities, however, are simply not large enough to accommodate the 3500 delegates to annual conference. Stuart Auditorium, for example, will seat only 2000 people, while parking, housing, and meal options on the grounds are severely limited for our number of delegates. Task force and committee members appreciate, with many others in the Western NC Conference, the beauty of the Assembly’s mountain setting and remember with gratitude the long tradition of holy conferencing at Lake Junaluska. But in order to welcome and accommodate all our delegates, the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting recommend that the annual meeting be moved to a larger setting. In September 2009, the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force asked the Rev. Kirk McNeill to explore possible meeting sites for the annual meeting. McNeill, an elder in the Western NC Conference and a Certifi ed Meeting Professional, concluded that the Koury Convention Center offered the most viable option for the Western NC Conference. The Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at the convention center has 988 hotel rooms, which will be offered to conference delegates at a reasonable rate. Parking is plentiful and free, while there are multiple meal options in the convention center and at the nearby Four Seasons Mall. In addition, the convention center will offer at no cost to the Western NC Conference its gathering space for the business sessions and worship services of annual conference, as well as break-out rooms for meetings and group meals. Space is also available for children’s and youth activities. The Koury Convention Center hosted 21 members of the Annual Conference Meeting Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting in April 2010, for lunch and a tour of its facilities. Task force and committee members are convinced that the facilities can easily accommodate the 3500 Western NC Conference delegates and all related activities. The facilities will be especially helpful in 2011, when a full meeting space is needed for the election of lay and clergy delegates to General and jurisdictional Conferences. Moreover, the large meeting space, which would be used for business sessions and worship services, can be adapted in such a way that the annual conference can experience holy conferencing in the presence of God. While the Koury Convention Center would welcome the opportunity to be the regular setting for the Western NC Conference’s annual meeting, the Annual Conference Task Force and the Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting recommend that the Western NC Conference move its annual conference to Greensboro on a one year trial basis. If the 2011 Annual Conference at the Koury Convention Center is well received, then the annual conference can vote to return for additional annual meetings at approved meeting dates to be arranged with the convention center. The Annual Conference Meeting Task Force thanks the Western NC Conference for the opportunity to address the needs and concerns of the Western NC Conference’s annual meeting. But after two years of service, task force members willingly step aside and request that its work be assumed by the standing Committee of the Annual Conference Meeting.

DISCIPLE BIBLE OUTREACH MINISTRIES OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. DBOM’s Vision: “Making disciples through Bible study to offer God’s grace to a hurting world.” DBOM’s Mission: “Developing and strengthening Bible study ministries to transform lives, make disciples, and empower Christians for outreach ministry.” Chartered in 1999 as a ministry of the Western North Carolina and North Carolina Conferences, DISCIPLE Bible Outreach Ministries of North Carolina, Inc., (DBOM) oversees three powerful outreach ministries: 2010 journal 259

1. Local Church DISCIPLE Bible Study Ministry. DBOM provides DISCIPLE Bible Study promotion and training to local churches throughout the state. The DBOM district training initiative provides training in all four levels of DISCIPLE Bible Study and RINGS OF FELLOWSHIP youth curriculum at no cost to participants. Now in its fourth year, this training initiative is the only one of its kind in the country and makes DISCIPLE Bible Study accessible and affordable to every local church in the Western NC Conference. 2. DISCIPLE Prison Ministry. DBOM’s DISCIPLE prison ministry is a model of lay empowerment. DBOM recruits, trains and mobilizes volunteers from local churches as DISCIPLE Bible Study facilitators in prison. With thousands of inmate participants and hundreds of local church volunteers, the DISCIPLE Prison Ministry has grown to be one of the largest and most active prison ministries in North Carolina. DBOM extends the ministry of the WNCC and NCC behind stone walls and razor wire. In addition, DBOM has provided a model of ministry to other annual conferences in Methodism. 3. RINGS OF FELLOWSHIP Youth Outreach. DBOM’s ministry for juvenile offenders offers Bible Study to our state’s youngest offenders. Patterned after DISCIPLE and created in partnership with the N.C. Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, RINGS is active in our state’s youth development centers. Led by a group of dedicated local church volunteers, RINGS offers rich Bible study, creative learning techniques and positive peer dynamics. RINGS is also available for local church youth groups and is currently being used by youth nationwide. DBOM continues to empower and inspire disciples in North Carolina and beyond. We are grateful to God for all of our dedicated volunteers and wish to thank the pastors and laity of the Western NC Conference for their generous support of the DBOM August Offerings. In 2010, this offering will be received on Aug. 22. Thanks for making this signifi cant outreach possible. May God bless DBOM: Disciples making disciples for Jesus Christ.

Z. FINCH-HUNT INSTITUTE FOR HOMILETICAL STUDIES

The Finch-Hunt Institute for Homiletical Studies, established through the generosity of the late George D. and Lucy Finch, of Thomasville, N.C., and the vision of Bishop Earl G. Hunt, Jr., and other conference leaders, is devoted to the strengthening of preaching in our conference. Laity and clergy both support the institute and benefi t from its emphasis on continuing education as a means towards vital and effective preaching. The primary offering of the institute occurs in February when the annual Finch Lectures on Preaching are presented as part of the Mission to Ministers. This year, some 400 pastors from the WNCC gathered on Tuesday, Feb. 2, to hear two outstanding speakers, Dr. Teresa Fry-Brown of the Candler School of Theology, and Dr. Jason Byassee, executive director of Faith and Leadership at Duke Divinity School. The Institute expresses appreciation to the staff and congregation of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte for hosting this year’s event. The 2011 Mission to Ministers will be held Tuesday, Feb. 1; speakers will include Philip Jenkins, renowned authority on global Christianity, and will meet once more at Myers Park UMC.

Wall, Treasurer 260 Western North Carolina Conference AA. THE EUGENE M. COLE FOUNDATION The Cole Foundation was established by the will of Eugene M. Cole in 1944 to provide benefi ts for retired ministers and surviving spouses for the Western NC Conference. In 2009, the Foundation directed monthly payments to the conference treasurer to supplement the cost of health care benefi ts to retired ministers and spouses. Total monthly payments exceeded $146,000 for 2009. The trustees also sponsor a breakfast for retired clergy and spouses at annual conference. The Cole Foundation is governed by three (3) trustees elected by the annual conference: James C. Windham, Jr., chairperson; Juanita Henderson, vice-chairperson; and Anthony Orsbon, secretary. PROPOSAL: TRUSTEE OF COLE FOUNDATION (Petition 21) Approved June 11, 2010 The Trustees of the Eugene M. Cole Foundation propose that Anthony Orsbon, whose term as trustee expires in 2010, be re-elected for another three (3) year term, expiring in 2013. James C. Windham, Jr., Chairperson BB. UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, INC. It is that time of year when we gather at the lake to care for the business of the Western NC Annual Conference. It is also a time for us to celebrate relationships – old and new – and to look at the ways God has called and is calling us into ministry. The end of one conference year leads to another and is often considered by many as a time of new beginnings. Such is the case with the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc. Since last we met we have experienced several new beginnings. In August 2009, we offered the fi rst combined New Consecration Sunday and Freed-Up Financial Living Leader’s training event. The purpose of this training was to encourage faithful stewardship of fi nancial resources by ensuring that clergy and laity alike had the resources necessary to not only offer an annual fi nancial campaign, but also to offer on-going stewardship studies. By September, we celebrated another “new beginning” when it was announced that Reverend Janice Virtue would be appointed to the foundation staff as the new Senior Vice President of Leadership Development. Janice’s ministry is not new to the foundation, but her appointment does provide a new beginning and opportunity for the foundation to build upon its leadership development programs that are already in existence through the Reynolds Leadership Fund. On Nov. 10, 2009, the foundation board and staff experienced another “new beginning” as ground was broken for a new 7,400 square foot offi ce building north of Charlotte, in Huntersville, N.C. Not only will this building house existing staff, but will also allow for future growth, as well as tenant space. It is the hope of the foundation that United Methodist-related groups from throughout the Western NC Conference will allow us the opportunity host their meetings and/or gatherings as an expression of our commitment to engage in ministry with you in a variety of ways. The foundation continues to look for new beginnings, not only with our existing clients, but also with our brothers and sisters in Christ who have yet to experience our ministries. When you register for the 2010 Western NC Annual Conference on the bottom level of the Harrell Center, please be certain to pick up a UMF bag that includes our 2009 annual report and fan. Within the pages of the annual report you will fi nd descriptions of all our ministries and we hope that you will give us a call when we can be of assistance to you. Please remember, this is your United Methodist Foundation. Our goal is to be in ministry with you and we look forward to that day when this goal is fulfi lled. Sam H. Smith, Jr., Chairperson, Board of Directors David A. Snipes, President and CEO CC. RFD CDC RFD CDC is a ministry whose purpose is to provide faith-based services to enable rural faith development, community development, rural funding, research, and building consultation. While RFD CDC is affi liated with the Western NC Conference, it is self-sustaining through grants and fees for ministry services. The work of RFD CDC has focused on four areas during the past year. The fi rst area is facility-planning as RFD CDC has worked with local churches on plans for construction of their church facilities and affordable housing, as well as with faith-based agencies beyond the bounds of the Western NC Conference, such as Gulfside Assembly in Mississippi. Facility planning will become a greater part of the work of RFD CDC in the days to come through its new division, Construx, whose goal is to assist local churches and faith-based agencies in building facilities at more affordable prices. The second area of focus for RFD CDC for the past year has been leadership development, as it has worked on the ABIDE program in the Marion District of the Western NC Conference and with budding ABIDE programs in other states, as RFD CDC expands its working relationship with Spiritual Leadership Inc. The third area of focus for the work of RFD CDC has been economic development as RFD CDC continues to have a major role in the development of the Circles of Poverty program, not only in Anson County and Yadkin/Wilkes Counties, but new sites within the bounds of the Western NC Conference and other locales across the country. This program is in partnership with the General Board of Global Ministries and the poverty initiative of The United Methodist Church. The role of RFD CDC in the growth of the Circles of Poverty program will continue to be strong, since in recent months, RFD CDC has formulated a partnership with the Move the Mountain program (the originator of the Circles program). The fourth and fi nal area of focus for RFD CDC this year has been research on the churches and communities of the Western NC Conference. Working in partnership with the offi ce of the Rev. Steve James, at the conference offi ce in Charlotte, and with Rev. Jeremy Troxler of The Rural Thriving Communities program at Duke Divinity School, RFD CDC has assisted in initiating new research on the churches and communities of the Western NC Conference. 2010 journal 261

RFD CDC continues to be available through the able leadership of Rev. Dr. Alan Rice, Executive Director, as a resource to the churches and faith-based agencies within the bounds of the Western NC Conference and beyond, as it continues its mission to be a “catalyst for things hoped for” in facility planning, leadership development, research and planning, and economic development. Offi cers of the RFD CDC Board are Randy L. Wall, president; Robin Pulver, vice president; and Lynne B. Caldwell, secretary-treasurer. Other board members include James Graves, Jeremy Troxler, Pam Shoffner, Leslie Boney, Tom Lambeth, Scott Rogers, Phillip Cole, Amy Coles, and Billy Jarrett. Randy L. Wall, President R. Alan Rice, Executive Director

DD. BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Connection – the act of the state of connecting. Those of us in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood think that connection isn’t just a word, but a practice. We believe that it takes more than talking about connection to actually be connected. It takes action. We believe that one way the connection is alive and well is through our mission of honoring and remembering member clergy women and men who have died, as an act of love for their ministry. The Brotherhood/Sisterhood of the Western NC Conference was founded more than a century ago by concerned clergy and laity who became aware of the diffi cult circumstances that United Methodist pastors’ families face upon death. On receiving word, a check in the amount of $9,500 is immediately taken to the surviving spouse or designate. This provides immediate fi nancial assistance to the family of the deceased clergy member and, at the same time, assures the family of our continued love and gratitude for their ministry and service. The offi cers of the Brotherhood/Sisterhood want to thank both the clergy and the laity who are members of the Brotherhood/ Sisterhood for their generous and faithful support of this ministry. A special thanks to Jack Young who works tirelessly encouraging lay members in local congregations to join this signifi cant work. At the present time, fewer than 50% of clergy in the Western NC Conference and 1% of the laity of the annual conference have membership in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood. Membership is open to all clergy members of the annual conference (full, Provisional, associate, and local pastor). Clergy under the age of 35, or who have been members of the annual conference for fewer than fi ve years, may join by making an application and paying a registration fee of $10. Clergy who are over 35, or who have been members of the annual conference for more than fi ve years, will be asked to sign non-interest-bearing promissory note for all assessments since their 35th birthday. We give God thanks for the privilege of being part of such a signifi cant ministry where connection is more than just a word – it is love in action. Proposals (To be acted upon in meeting of Brotherhood/Sisterhood membership) 1. That the assessment rate for clergy members be $8 per call, that lay participants contribute $3 per call, that the initiation fee for new clergy members be $10, and that the benefi t paid to benefi ciaries of deceased clergy be $9,500. 2. That both laity and clergy be encouraged to include the Brotherhood/Sisterhood in their wills. 3. That clergy and laity members be encouraged to pay in advance an annual estimated assessment of $120 and $45 respectively based on an average of 15 assessments per year. 4. That persons with notes be encouraged to begin payments on any outstanding balances. 5. That assessments are to be paid upon receipt of notice or within 60 days of the notice. 6. That each local church be encouraged to observe Brotherhood/Sisterhood Sunday on the third Sunday in February or on another Sunday more suitable to the particular congregation. Christopher M.

Duke with improving the physical, mental and spiritual lives of Carolinians in four areas: health care, child care, higher education and rural United Methodist churches. As Director of the Rural Church Program Area, I am blessed to be able to travel all over our annual conference meeting with rural congregations in service of this charge. On a recent visit, I met a parishioner eighty years young with a deep passion for gardening. She has kept a garden since she was a little girl and in all her years of experience, she has come to know the rhythm of her work. She knows when to plant her seeds. She can tell you, with accuracy, when each variety of plant will bloom. She has a wonderful sense of when the plants will bear fruit. And yet, she can hardly contain her excitement each year for that fi rst tomato. When it appears, she is as giddy as a young child with a new toy. She draws energy and excitement from looking forward; from seeing the potential in God’s gifts of soil and seed and celebrating the fruit of those gifts. Like this parishioner, we at The Duke Endowment celebrated our 85th year not too long ago. We, too, now better understand the rhythm of our work with rural churches: proposals, applications, site visits and grant making. Yet, I can report that we can hardly contain our excitement for the fruit that rural churches bear. I do not mean to seem too Pollyanna. There are real challenges in rural North Carolina: unemployment is generally greater than other areas; the percentage of children on free or reduced lunch is generally higher than in other areas; high school graduation rates are generally lower than in other areas of the state. But thriving rural churches do not look at these as defi cits; rather, they see them as opportunities. These congregations see the potential and understand themselves as rich in God’s gifts and resources. Time and time again, churches share their vision for making disciples through outreach ministries that call on members to stretch in new and faithful ways. They engage in ministries that invite and welcome new people from the community into the church. Ministries that imagine new beginnings by offering job retraining for unemployed workers. The congregation will install computers in the fellowship hall and teach classes on basic computing. Ministries that send backpacks full of food home on Fridays so that children on free or reduced lunch will have meals over the weekend and return to school on Monday ready to learn. Ministries that invite struggling students to receive tutoring in reading and math so that they may reach their grade level milestones and while doing so be loved, nurtured and encouraged to stay in school. Ministries that, as Jeremy Troxler so faithfully applies the gospel, understand that church is part communion and part commission. That is, these rural churches are places that follow Jesus, make disciples and transform the world. As you may imagine, staff at the Endowment have been busy since the annual conference last met. We have been busy trying to keep up with rural churches in the Western North Carolina Conference. More than 200 grants totaling more than $13 million dollars were make for outreach ministries like the ones described above. Moreover, another class of talented Rural Ministry Fellows – Emily Kroger and Nicole Jones – has graduated and will be serving the conference. The Clergy Health Initiative (CHI) is concluding a pilot project in the Northeast District and will apply those fi ndings in a program that will touch pastors over the next few years. The Hispanic House of Studies at Duke University Divinity School named two new fellows who will serve United Methodist Churches in our state once they complete their degree and training. And the list could continue on for pages. The rural church is alive in many parts of North Carolina and I am excited by the fruit these congregations bear for the kingdom. Robert R. Webb III, Director, Rural Church Program Area 264 Western North Carolina Conference FF. NORTH CAROLINA PASTORS’ SCHOOL AND DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL CONVOCATION On Oct. 5-7, 2009, 348 clergy gathered for the annual Convocation and Pastors’ School at Duke Divinity School. The event focused on the theme “The Next Generation: Engaging the Christian Faith in a Global Context.” The event featured inspiring lectures, seminars, and worship services. James A. Gray Lecturer Philip Jenkins, author and humanities professor at Pennsylvania State University, spoke on the topic “Reading the Bible in the Light of Global Christianity.” The Franklin S. Hickman Lectures were presented by Os Guinness, author and co-founder of The Trinity Forum, and Kenda Creasy Dean, associate professor of youth, church and culture, and director, Tennent School of Christian Education, Princeton Theological Seminary. The convocation preacher was Rev. Tyrone Gordon from St. Luke’s “Community” UMC in Dallas, Texas. Seventeen different continuing education seminars enrolled 295 participants. The seminars included topics such as “Acedia and Ministry: Exorcising the Noon-Day Demon,” “African Christianity and the Global Church,” “Preaching with the Next Generation,” and “Traditioned Innovation: Thinking Strategically in the Power of the Spirit.” The 2010 Convocation and Pastors’ School will be held Oct. 11-12, and will explore the topic “The Living Witness: Tradition, Innovation, and the Church” with Bishop N. T. Wright, journalist and author Andy Crouch, pastor Rob Bell, and Bishop Vashti McKenzie. Event information, including registration, is available at http://www.divinity.duke.edu/cps/livingwitness or by calling 919-613-5323. Amy Coles, Chairperson

GG. SCHOOLS OF THEOLOGY 1. CANDLER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY Guided by our mission to educate faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries in the world, Candler School of Theology continues to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by developing leaders called by God to serve in Christian ministry. Candler is one of the 13 offi cial seminaries of The United Methodist Church and one of nine graduate professional schools of Emory University, a top 20-ranked research university. Our distinctive commitment to both inspiring minds and empowering ministry enables us to develop uniquely well-rounded leaders who are challenged academically, encouraged spiritually, and immersed in Christian service from the fi rst day they arrive on campus. To ensure that our students are prepared for leadership in an increasingly global context, Candler has placed a new emphasis on internationalizing the curriculum. In 2009, we established the Offi ce of International Initiatives and received several grants related to international engagement. The March 2010 visit of Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifi cal Council for Promoting Christian Unity, ushered in a year-long special emphasis on internationalization at Candler. Candler’s student body continues to attract younger and more diverse people. Our enrollment stands at 499, with 391 seeking the Master of Divinity. The total student population is 23% US ethnic minority, 11% international, and 50% women, with 52% of M.Div. students being United Methodist. Fifty-seven percent of our students are under 30. A hallmark of the Candler M.Div. experience, the Contextual Education program continues to shape our students’ pastoral identities by interweaving service at ministry sites and churches with academic refl ection in the classroom. In any given week, Candler deploys more than 250 ConEd students throughout the region to minister to people in congregations, hospitals, and social service agencies. Last year, Candler’s ConEd students provided 1/3 of the service hours responsible for Emory University winning the U.S. government’s Presidential Award for General Community Service. Candler’s Teaching Parish Program continues to expand into more conferences in the Southeastern Jurisdiction, providing United Methodist students with the opportunity to serve churches throughout their seminary education, earn academic credit for pastoral experience, and complete their M.Div. degree in three years. Through the Course of Study regional school at Candler and our fi ve extension schools in the Southeast, we oversaw the educational process of 918 people this past year. Candler has faced the recent economic challenges with a steadfast commitment to keeping theological education affordable. Although our operating budget essentially will remain fl at next year, we are increasing our investment in fi nancial aid. Candler’s total fi nancial aid commitment in 2009-10 was $4.7 million. Eighty-six percent of eligible students received Candler-based fi nancial aid, with the average award covering 76 percent of tuition. More than $2.6 million was provided to 191 United Methodist students. During 2009-10, Candler celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Sherman Scholarship Fund, which has provided fi nancial assistance to 868 students preparing for pastoral ministry in United Methodist churches. Our faculty members continually demonstrate their dedication to the church through preaching and teaching engagements, scholarship, and service in local parishes as leaders in their congregations. In fall 2010, the Rev. Dr. Arun Jones, a fellow United Methodist, joins our faculty as the Hankey Chair in World Evangelism. Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its vital relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulfi ll our mission depends upon your support, gifts, and prayers. Thank you for the countless ways you undergird this essential ministry in the life of our denomination. Jan Love, Dean and Professor of Christianity and World Politics 2. DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL With a global fi nancial crisis slowly abating throughout the year, Duke Divinity School successfully overcame signifi cant fi nancial challenges in 2009 while continuing to seek new opportunities to carry out its mission. All the while, the school 2010 journal 265

maintained a hopeful outlook and a strong focus on preparing students to become effective, faithful leaders in the church, the academy, and the world. Like most other schools across the country, Duke Divinity School saw the value of its endowment – a critical piece of our fi nancial support – decline by more than 25 percent at the worst of the recession. In response, the school sought effi ciencies and achieved signifi cant cost savings in the last year to help keep the budget balanced. At the same time, our community engaged in a period of intense strategic planning to position ourselves as a more fl exible institution capable of meeting the needs of a changing church. In September 2009, the faculty approved an offi cial update to our 2006 strategic plan, which aligns with our core mission and will help make the divinity school a fi nancially stronger institution that is better able to fulfi ll its role of service and witness to the Triune God by preparing faithful and effective leaders. We are now working to implement this plan, which includes proposals for new degree programs to address broader constituencies for the divinity school and respond missionally to the needs of the church. New degree programs we hope to begin offering in 2011 (all of which would need to be approved by the Association of Theological Schools and Duke University by the summer of 2010) include a master of arts in Christian Studies (M.A.C.S.), a master of arts in Christian practice (M.A.C.P.), and a doctor of ministry (D.Min.). None of these degrees would diminish the school’s commitment to existing degree programs, especially our core Master of Divinity program for local church ministers, or to residential learning. Rather, they are meant to fulfi ll needs of churches and individuals that we are unable to meet with our current offerings. The M.A.C.S. is a 32-hour graduate theological degree for full-time students, to be completed over eight months of the academic year. The degree is designed for students who have an interest in serious theological study, seek to enrich their vocation, leadership, or service in the church, and want to bring theological refl ection to bear on their vocation in the world. The M.A.C.P is a graduate theological degree that organizes learning around short-term intensive residential seminars, in conjunction with ongoing group interaction assisted by web-based learning platforms. It is designed for students who are seeking disciplined theological refl ection while remaining in a full-time lay ministry context or other professional position. The D.Min. is intended to enhance the work of Christian leaders serving in local churches, denominational positions, and other faith-based organizations through a combination of theological study, refl ection on their experiences in ministry, and/or training in organizational management. Like the M.A.C.P., the degree would be structured on a cohort model that organizes learning around short-term residential seminars, as well as ongoing group interaction facilitated by web-based learning platforms. Therefore, it would allow church leaders and other professionals to pursue intensive advanced study while remaining employed on a full-time basis in their vocational settings. As Duke Divinity School concluded this period of rigorous strategic planning, it also prepared to welcome a new dean on July 1, 2010. L. Gregory Jones, who has served as dean of the Divinity School since 1997, was named Duke University’s senior advisor for international strategy in the spring 2010 semester. Jones, who continues to oversee Leadership Education at Duke Divinity, will step down as dean at the end of June. Richard Hays, the George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at the divinity school, will serve as dean for a two-year term while a national search is conducted for Jones’ successor. An ordained United Methodist minister, Hays is internationally recognized for his work on the letters of Paul and on New Testament ethics. Read more about this leadership transition on the Divinity School’s website at www.divinity.duke.edu/news/spotlight/senioradvisor. Meanwhile, the divinity school continued with its strong tradition of teaching, research, and outreach. We were pleased to welcome a diverse, energetic, and academically strong group of new students in the fall of 2009. The median grade point average for the entering class was 3.62 out of a possible 4.0. Minority enrollment is 21 percent, and the median student age continues to be low—24 for the entire class and just 23 for the master of divinity students. Of 151 students seeking the three-year M.Div. degree, 52 percent are United Methodist; 15 percent are Baptist, 8 percent are Anglican or Episcopal; and, four percent are Presbyterian. Eighteen other denominations round out the M.Div. class. We also entered the fourth year of our Doctor of Theology program; the Th.D. applications increased this year to more than 100. We now have 35 students enrolled in the program, and we graduated our fi rst student in December 2009. Early in the spring 2009 semester we launched “Faith & Leadership,” the online magazine of Leadership Education at Duke Divinity, which is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc. The magazine, which already has developed an enthusiastic following, aims to strengthen the practice of Christian leadership through video interviews with transformative leaders, theological refl ections, in-depth articles and stories, and reading lists. Its companion blog, “Call & Response,” offers a daily roundup of news and ideas, as well as commentary from several pastors, a seminary president, and experts in the sociology of religion. Approximately 100 people participated in Duke Divinity School’s fi rst Summer Institute in 2009, a week-long program designed to cultivate a community of Christian worship, refl ection and action. The Institute, led by world-class scholars and practitioners, focused on a theme of reconciliation and was titled “Shaping the Beloved Community in a Divided World.” A second Summer Institute is planned for 2010. The divinity school hosted numerous additional events in 2009 and early 2010 important in the life of the church, as well as the academy, including ongoing meetings of our Episcopal Leadership Forum for United Methodist Bishops, a 20th anniversary celebration for our Baptist House of Studies, a 40th anniversary celebration of the Black Seminarians Union, and numerous lectures, sermons, and panel discussions. We are deeply grateful for the relationships among The United Methodist Church, this annual conference, and Duke Divinity School, and we already are looking forward to another year of preparing men and women for Christian ministry.

GAMMON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Gammon Theological Seminary was established in 1883, fi rst as a department of Religion and Philosophy at Clark University in Atlanta, Georgia, by The Methodist Episcopal Church with the assistance of the Freedmen’s Aid Society. The school was granted a charter and the name was offi cially changed to its present form on March 24, 1888. The Rev. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield served as the fi rst president. Gammon Theological Seminary is one of 13 accredited theological institutions of The United Methodist Church. Gammon is the only historical predominantly African American theological school related to The United Methodist Church. Dr. Walter H. McKelvey is the President of Gammon Theological Seminary. Gammon is the United Methodist component of the consortium of theological schools, known across the world as The Interdenominational Theological Center located in Atlanta, Georgia. The seminary is a multi-racial, multi-culutural and co-educational graduate school of theology. We offer a broad curriculum in the scholar-minister tradition and also offer a holistic educational experience that continues to stress scholarship and service. Students prepare for administration and leadership, counseling, teaching, preaching, and a range of other spiritual and secular roles, with a blend of scholarship in the classroom and practical experience in the community. The interdisciplinary curriculum integrates theological studies with preparation for the ministry, merging theory with practice to equip the student for scholarship in the academy, service in the parish, and leadership in the community. Degree programs offered are Master of Divinity; Master of Arts in Christian Education; Master of Arts in Church Music; Doctor of Ministry; Doctor of Ministry with a Specialty in Pastoral Counseling; and Doctor of Theology in Pastoral Counseling. Dual Degrees are offered in Christian Education and the Master of Divinity; Church Music and Master of Divinity; and, Christian Education and Church Music. The range of innovative special programs provides research and learning opportunities for students and faculty, while serving society as a whole. Some of the programs are: • The Institute of Church Administration and Management (ICAM) supplements theological education with leadership training and administrative skills development, addressing topics such entrepreneurial concepts, time management, organizational development, and policy formulation. • Black Women in Church and Society Program establishes networks among African American church women locally and nationwide through an institute, a research and resource center and seminars. • The Religious Heritage of the African World initiative conducts research and advocacy activities, gathers data, and examines issues related to the religious heritage of people of African descent around the globe. • Faith and the City is one module of a collaborative relationship among local seminaries that addresses civic and community interest by engaging the public theologians, local church leadership and their congregations in active pursuit of a spirit of mutual community and shared responsibility with its specifi c emphases on environmental justice and holistic health. • The Womanist Scholars Program recognizes and promotes the scholarly activities of academicians. This program enables womanist scholars to pursue a research project of their own design. Scholars are engaged in teaching, lectureships, and consultation on issues affecting black women and religion and black women and spirituality. This program invites two black female scholars annually to be in residence, teach a course in the scholar’s research area, and develop publishable contributions to womanist works. • The Youth Hope Builders Academy seeks to provide high school youth an opportunity to explore their present and future lives theologically and discover ways in which their lives can contribute to a hope bearing church and society. During the program an intensive four-week summer residential academy is held. A second component of the academy is year-round forums, including the annual Youth and Family Convocation for young people and their families, and church and community leaders focus on current issues of youth and resources for problem-solving. • The Urban Theological Institute is an exciting initiative designed to address the need to develop effective religious and public leaders for urban transformation. The vision is to become a major partner with local churches, neighborhoods, and faith-based organizations in the war against urban blight. • The Student, Local Church, and Agency Internship Program functions with an opportunity for partnerships with organizations, local churches, social action and advocacy agencies. It helps prepare students and fosters a vision of excellence in ministry in general, and pastoral ministry in particular. This program seeks to accomplish its nurturing and mentoring goals through the development and utilization of strategic partners. • The Conference on Ministry, which is held during the spring of each year is an opportunity for persons who feel they have been called to ministry to come and visit our campus and explore their call to ministry as they visit classrooms, engage students who are currently matriculating at the seminary and dialogue with the fi nancial aid/scholarship offi cers, as well as the president of the seminary. This three-day program stimulates and helps prospective students to clarify their call to ministry and also helps them to consider the seminary that will best help them to achieve their goals for preparing for ministry. • The Thirkield-Jones Lecture Series were established by alumni, family, and friends for Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield and Bishop Robert E. Jones. Each person had an individual lectureship, “Thirkield’s Lectureship was on Preaching and Social Services, and Interracial Goodwill.” Jones family, alumni and friends, established the “Alumni Lectureship.” The two lectureships were combined in 1947. The Thirkield-Jones Lecture Series are held annually during Gammon’s Founders’ Day celebration in October. Gammon is known as “The School of the Prophets” and has trained many bishops, district superintendents, annual conference staff executives, general agency administrators, college presidents, preachers, teachers, Christian educators, 2010 journal 267 pastoral counselors, military, hospital, and children’s home chaplains, Wesley Foundation directors, campus ministers, ministers of music, church administrators, religious journalists and authors, biblical scholars, and social activists, over the past 127 years. Our graduates hold the promise of hundred of local church ministries around the world in Africa, Asia, and India, and our gifts and graces will continue to honor our historic mission and embrace its promising future.

WESLEY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Washington, DC Seated in the nation’s capital, centered in Christian faith, Wesley Theological Seminary prepares over 1,000 students annually, representing more than 25 denominations, to become exemplary teachers, preachers, and leaders. In 2009, Wesley welcomed the largest and youngest class in its history; a trend that we look forward to supporting in years to come. A Capital Seminary – Wesley is expanding its landmark programming downtown at Mount Vernon Square (MVS), an innovative venture in contextual theological education. At MVS, Wesley hosts Master’s and Doctoral courses, focusing in urban ministry and public theology, as well as ongoing workshops and brown-bags for the resident and commuter communities. MVS is home to Wesley’s urban intentional community, a group of students who are committed to living in community and focusing on social justice service. Also located at MVS, is Wesley’s Urban Fellows program, which supports students chosen for their dedication to ministry in the complex systems of the inner city. Learn more about Wesley and Mount Vernon Square at www.wesleyseminary.edu/mvs. A Place for Spiritual Growth and Leadership Development – This year, Wesley’s Lewis Center for Church Leadership launched a new online tool, called the Lewis Pastoral Leadership Inventory (LPLI), designed to help clergy grow as effective leaders. The LPLI is a 360° assessment instrument that provides pastors with valuable feedback on 75 criteria of effectiveness in ministry. LCCL is also piloting peer learning groups for pastors and congregations, including the popular Lewis Fellows program for outstanding young clergy. Information about Lewis Center resources and programs, as well as its free electronic newsletter, Leading Ideas, can be found at www.churchleadership.com. A Global Investor - Wesley provides a diverse range of programs for clergy and lay leaders, on campus and online. This year, Wesley Ministry Network, a special outreach that focuses on lay adult education, joined in partnership with the Institute for Discipleship to expand online programming. Courses feature streaming video segments and online discussions with fellow students and teachers. In 2010, WMN’s Wesleyan Studies Project will release new courses in Methodist History, Doctrine and Evangelism, including video lessons by more than 50 scholars from 11 countries. Learn more: www.wesleyministrynetwork.com. In 2009, Wesley welcomed Carla Works as Instructor in New Testament, Joseph Bush as Director of the Practice of Ministry and Mission, and Carol A. Cook Moore as Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching. We also celebrated Deborah Sokolove’s move into a new role as Director of the Luce Center for the Arts and Religion. This fall, we welcome Drew Dyson, as Instructor in Evangelism for the James C. Logan Chair in Evangelism. Curriculum vitae and contact information are available online. Wesley’s Master’s programs curricula offer specializations in Urban Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Emerging Ministries, as well as opportunities in the arts, public policy, intercultural immersion, and spiritual formation. These course options are buttressed with a rich array of opportunities via collaboration with the Washington Theological Consortium, a group of 18 partnering 268 Western North Carolina Conference academic institutions along the Mid-Atlantic coast. A dual degree in International Peace and Confl ict Resolution is also possible through partnerships with American University’s School of International Service. Wesley’s Doctor of Ministry program extends these offerings through specialized courses that challenge pastors to grow as leaders in their specifi c ministry contexts. 2011 tracks include Church Leadership Excellence, Life Together: Spirituality for Transforming Community, and Spirituality and Story. United Methodist laity are also invited to explore our certifi cation options in Youth Ministry, Christian Education, Children’s Ministry, and Spiritual Formation. Wesley is pleased to offer a vital program of scholarship support for the next generation of church leaders. Interested persons are encouraged to contact our Offi ce of Financial Aid to fi nd out which options are suitable for their course of study and calling. Being Part of the Change You Hope to See - Wesley is a mission-minded community. As agents of creative, collaborative, and scholarly practice, the members of Wesley’s 2010 graduating class alone will minister to more than half a million people in the course of their careers. I welcome you to join them. God’s call is bold. Your seminary should be too. Meet us at www.wesleyseminary.edu. The Rev. Dr. David McAllister-Wilson, President

6. BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY We greet you in friendship, thanking God for your leadership of the church’s ministry. Many of you have given prayerful support to the Boston University School of Theology (STH) during the past year, and we thank you. You encourage us as partners in mission and in the pioneering work that has marked our particular mission in the past year. Thanks in large part to many of you, we have traveled the country, heard your hopes for the future, and launched many new initiatives. What has happened during this year? • Student enrollment increased in 2009-2010 over the previous year. Our dynamic student body has led STH efforts to respond to the people of Haiti, to enhance the school’s sustainability work, and to create new forms of theological dialogue among people with diverse perspectives on God and God’s creation. • The Seminary Singers have revived the annual choir tour tradition, singing their way from Northern Virginia to Connecticut. • Travel seminars have studied in Cuba and Ephesus (modern Turkey). • The STH faculty published eight books in the past year, and they were honored with two book prizes, two teaching awards, one promotion to a Boston University endowed chair, and one leadership award. • Professor Anjulet Tucker joined our faculty in 2009, bringing her expertise in Sociology of Religion and her specialized study on Black Pentecostal churches. • Professor Dana Robert is delivering major addresses around the world in 2010 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference. The School will also celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Truman Collins Chair in World Christianity and Mission, sponsoring special events in fall 2010 and soaring efforts to raise funds for the chair, thanks to an anonymous challenge grant of $420,000. • Co-directors of contextual education, Sam Johnson and Elizabeth Parsons, are expanding STH partnerships with local churches, service agencies, and faith-based communities, helping us extend the breadth and depth of our work in contextualizing theological education. The ATLAS for Alums Program now provides free online ATLAS Access to all STH alums, enabling them to utilize over 140 journals in their ministries. Please e-mail Maggie Keelan, Development Offi cer, for the user name and password to ATLAS: [email protected]. We are grateful to the Lilly Foundation for supporting this outreach. We are on the road, striving to increase our presence in United Methodist conferences around the country. Please hold us accountable to this and let us know if you would like a representative from the school to visit in the future. What is coming? • The new Master of Divinity curriculum will be launched in September 2010. The focus is “Faith Engaging the World,” and the goals are to prepare spiritually-centered, prophetic, intelligent, practical religious leaders who can contribute to renewing and transforming the church and the world. • Three faculty searches are underway: the Martin Luther King, Jr., Chair in Ethics or Homiletics, and positions in religious education and the history of Christianity. • The STH People’s History Project is expanding. This is an ambitious endeavor to record oral histories of alums from all eras, particularly the 1950s and 1960s. Contact the alumni offi ce if you are interested in sharing your story with us: 617-353-2349. • The school has created a bold strategic plan to guide the coming years. The plan is to strengthen support for students, renovate degree programs that educate future leaders, enhance faculty excellence in teaching and research, and support research and continuing education to strengthen the church. • The school begins a specialized, one-year Master of Sacred Theology program for military chaplains in Fall 2010, responding to their increasing needs to address issues of ethics, trauma, and confl ict transformation. • We are renovating our physical space: the famous ping pong table is back. Classrooms are becoming “smart” with technology, art displays are multiplying, and the fi rst fl oor has been remodeled for hospitality and comfort. On the near horizon are plans to renovate the basement into a community center, replace light fi xtures and windows for energy-effi ciency, and improve the handicap accessibility of our building. • We are developing partnerships with Africa University and two Korean universities through student exchange and faculty exchange programs. 2010 journal 269

• Plans are underway for more work in continuing education, including onsite events and distance education opportunities. Our new work will include efforts to make our new certifi cate programs more widely available. We presently offer the academic certifi cate requirements for United Methodist Certifi cation in Evangelism, Spirituality, and Sacred Music. We celebrate our graduates and friends in your conference and our colleagues in ministry throughout the United Methodist connection. We hope to hear from you in the coming year and to build signifi cant partnerships. Our relationship with you is vital for our learning and for our service in this world of many needs. We pray for you and invite you to pray for us, as well. Mary Elizabeth Moore, Dean HH. LAKE JUNALUSKA ASSEMBLY This past year has been great for Lake Junaluska. Even in recessionary times, we were able to fi nish 2009 with a signifi cant surplus. This was due to diligent planning on the part of the board of directors and hard work on behalf of our staff by keeping expenses under revenue. We know this past year was diffi cult for all annual conferences and we express appreciation of the fi nancial support we received from your conference for Lake Junaluska ministries. In September 2009, the Supreme Court of North Carolina ruled in Lake Junaluska’s favor stating we had the legal right to charge property owners a service charge. The decision puts Lake Junaluska’s Residential Services practices on fi rm legal ground. The court stated: “In light of the unique character of the Assembly and its long-standing history of covenant-imposed regulations, we uphold the covenants as enforceable and reverse the Court of Appeals.” We have instituted three giving societies for persons to commit annually for a 5-year period in order to enhance donations for the future. This will solidify our budget projections for the annual fund. The three societies are named after great Methodist leaders: Gilbert-Lambuth Society; Francis Asbury Society; and Susanna Wesley Society. The Conference and Retreat Center had positive feedback from guests with its Junaluska “E” (experience) program. The emphasis is on providing a quality hospitality experience to all persons who enjoy our ministries and campus. We are in the process of renovating Sunnyside and Mountain View Lodges by Shackford Hall, with air conditioning and upgraded furnishings. This will greatly enhance the youth and children’s ministry. The Ministry Event Development offi ce at Lake Junaluska led in celebrating the fi fty-fi ve (55) years of ministry of Dr. Glenn Draper as the director of the Junaluska Singers. He retired at the end of 2009. We are pleased that Dr. Melodie Galloway, a professor at UNC-Asheville has been hired to be the new director of the Singers. Exciting plans for 2010 include (1) The Jazz of Preaching – Learning to Preach with Great Freedom and Joy, Aug. 1-4, 2010. It is a major preaching event for United Methodist clergy featuring three outstanding leaders along with jazz musicians from across the southeast: Heather Murray Elkins, Drew Theological Seminary; Kirk Byron Jones, Andover-Newton Theological Seminary; and Tom Long, Candler Theological Seminary; (2) Caring for Creation, April 8-11, 2010; (3) Lake Junaluska Peace Conference – Children at the Table of Peace, Sept. 19-21 plus 17-19. The 2010 focus will be on issues of young people, with Marian Wright Edelman, founder and director of the Children’s Defense Fund. SEJANAM is a wonderful platform to tell the story of Native Americans in the southeast through advocacy, education, cultural awareness, initiatives,and programming. In 2009, SEJANAM hosted over 500 Native Americans representing numerous tribes from 10 of the 15 annual conferences who attended programs and events; sponsored the fi rst highly successful Native American Women’s Gathering; supported the 15th mission ministry to Montero, Bolivia; and, hosted all the national Native American leadership within The United Methodist Church at the annual summer conference. We look forward to 2010 with noteworthy programs which will include the fi rst Native American Youth Gathering, the fi rst Native American Men’s Conference, and a roundtable dialogue with national leaders on social justice issues. We appreciate the opportunity to serve United Methodists around the Southeastern Jurisdiction at your conference and retreat center. Come see us in 2010. Jimmy L. Carr, Executive Director II. AFRICA UNIVERSITY THRIVING IN ZIMBABWE Africa University has many stories to tell – to the nations of Africa and the world. During Zimbabwe’s economic and political struggles of recent years, United Methodist-related Africa University continued to educate leaders for all of Africa. For a time in 2009, it was the only institution of higher education in Zimbabwe open for classes. We celebrated our 3,000th graduate with the 2009 graduating class. In the 2009-2010 academic year, 1,100 students represented 28 African countries. There is a substantial waiting list of students eager to attend on campus or through our emerging distance-learning curriculum. For all of this, we thank God for the prayers and support of United Methodists. In 2009, annual conferences contributed more than $2 million to the apportioned Africa University Fund. That represents 86 percent of the $2.5 million goal set by the 2008 General Conference. United Methodists’ support for Africa University creates opportunities for Africans to help Africans. Our graduates are living out the United Methodist vision for the Four Areas of Focus: • Leadership: The Rev. Tolbert Thomas Jallah, Jr. is a prime example. A graduate of AU’s Institute of Peace, Leadership, and Governance, the former advisor to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is now Secretary General of the Fellowship of Christian Councils of Churches in West Africa. • Global Health: Bigi Ruhigita, a nurse from the Democratic Republic of Congo, earned her master’s degree in public health at AU. She returned to Congo to work in the 50-bed clinic she and her siblings founded in honor of their father. 270 Western North Carolina Conference • Ministry with the Poor: Isaiah Njimbu, a 2006 graduate, returned to Lubumbashi, D.R. Congo, to fi nd many children orphaned because their parents died of AIDS. In response, Njimbu started the Child Action Initiative, a non-government organization. Today, this ministry still thrives. • Church Growth: The Rev. Daniel Mhone was instrumental in establishing 28 local churches in the newly-established Malawi (Africa) Missionary Conference. He credits Africa University for increasing his capacity as a pastor. In December 2009, we joyfully celebrated the inauguration of Bishop David Kekumba Yemba and professor Fanuel Tagwira as the university’s third chancellor and vice-chancellor. Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila praised the university’s dedication to Africa at our annual seminar commemorating former United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld. Every annual conference is vital to the success of the dream that has become Africa University. Your support educates leaders in theology, agriculture, social sciences, health sciences, and peace and justice. Jim Salley, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Advancement Africa University

JJ. HINTON RURAL LIFE CENTER For 49 years, Hinton Rural Life Center in Hayesville, N.C., an offi cial mission agency of the Southeastern Jurisdiction, has been doing ministry. The Reverend Alfonza Everett is your conference representative to our board. The Hinton Center specializes in fi ve areas of ministry:

• Small Church Leadership. We provide on-site workshops with leading presenters from across the United States. This past year, Hinton has hosted workshops on effectiveness in the small membership church, understanding the church budget and building a budget for next year, and church confl ict management. This year we are hosting Dr. Ron Crandall on “Understanding and Pastoring in the Smaller Church,” Bonnie Crandall on “Self-Care” and “Marriage and Family,” and, Eddie Hammett author of “Reaching People under 40 while Keeping People over 60.” Other workshops will be scheduled later. Let us know of topics or speakers from whom you would like to hear. We also will go to your church for consultation on visioning, planning, mission statements, stewardship, evangelism or any other topic with which we can assist the pastor and local church leadership. • First Parish Project. FPP is a collegial, peer group for young pastors under 35, seminary graduates, serving their fi rst charge. It is an ecumenical ministry providing pastors with resources to pastor in the small church but to also help with longevity in the ministry. The seventh class is underway with the eighth class starting in May 2010. It is underwritten by a grant from Lilly Endowment. • Volunteer Mission Ministry. In 2009, right at 1,000 missioners were hosted at Hinton as they helped to build, rebuild, paint, replace, clean-up, and perform a variety of other jobs for local people in the Appalachian Mountains living in poverty. This ministry is unique in that Hinton provides the lodging with towels and linens, meals, pre- approved job sites, tools, materials, and a staff person for each location. Time is set aside for worship and devotions. We strive to build relationships with the homeowner, as well as do the mission work. • Self-help Affordable Housing. With a grant from USDA - Rural Development, low income families can build an energy-effi cient, modern house to help them achieve the American Dream of home ownership. Volunteers help the families build their houses. We are currently building six houses. One interesting twist to our ministry is that the families cannot move into their home until all six are ready to move into their home. This builds community while they are building each other’s homes. • Retreat facilities. With 70 rooms, Hinton can accommodate a wide variety of retreats. Whether it is a church planning retreat, district retreat, UMW or men’s retreat, family reunion, or individual spiritual renewal time, Hinton’s welcome mat is always rolled out to offer you the greatest in southern hospitality. You can support the ministry of Hinton Center by a direct donation, Advance Special #731372, or by utilizing any of our services. Check out our website at www.hintoncenter.org to see what we can offer you. Rev. Lyle Shipley, President/CEO PO Box 27, Hayesville, NC 28904 [email protected] or 828-389-8336 2010 journal 271

Wall, Chairperson, United Methodist Rural Fellowship Text: Whereas, Paragraph 265.3 of The Book of Discipline (2008) states that: “Rural Life Sunday shall be observed on a date to be determined by the annual conference. Rural Life Sunday shall call the Church to celebrate the rural heritage of The United Methodist Church, to recognize the ongoing crisis occurring in rural areas of the nation and world today, and to affi rm the inter-dependence of rural and urban communities. The observance of Rural Life Sunday shall be under the general supervision of the General Board of Global Ministries;” and Whereas, The rural crisis had led many rural residents of our country to suffer the loss of self-esteem and their way of life due to the closure of farms, businesses, schools, and health care facilities; and Whereas, the state of North Carolina continues to suffer the loss of rural and open land; and Whereas, the good citizens of North Carolina in rural and urban areas face growing environmental concerns about the quality of our land, water, and air due to what is commonly called “urban sprawl”; and Whereas, Rural Life Sunday has traditionally promoted themes related to health and wholeness, conservation, and stewardship of our natural resources; and Whereas, these themes are of increasing importance; and Whereas, The Book of Discipline gives authority to the annual conference to set Rural Life Sunday on the date best for the annual conference; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church designate the sixth Sunday after Easter, or another Sunday where needed, as Rural Life Sunday in 2011; urge the clergy and laity of its member congregations to observe this day; and encourage its member congregations to utilize resources for this observance from such sources as the General Board of Global Ministries, the United Methodist Rural Fellowship, the Rural Chaplains Association, and county Soil and Water Conservation offi ces located across the region. Conference Action: Adopted petition

PETITION 23 Subject: Benefi ts Apportioned Submitted by: Evelyn Kent, Annual Conference delegate for Burke Chapel-Mt. Harmony Charge, Marion District Text: Whereas, The United Methodist Church is a connectional institution sharing equally the burdens and joys of ministering to God’s creation; and Whereas, a ministry our conference provides to our pastors is pension and health insurance; and Whereas, unlike other administrative and ministerial operations within the conference, pension and health insurance are billed as a fl at fee to all churches regardless of size; and Whereas, this fl at fee places an unevenly heavy yoke upon the smaller congregations; therefore, be it Resolved, That, the Western NC Conference adopts a policy of apportioned pension and health insurance by taking the total amount of the annual cost of pension and health insurance for our conference and divides it among all the churches having a pastor eligible for pension and health insurance in a proportional manner to the size of the church. Resolved, That though the formula will be different from other apportionments due to some churches not having an eligible pastor, the process in determining the size of the church and its apportioned cost should be the same as ordinary apportionments. Resolved, That though the amount paid by each church will be different, pension and health insurance should be billed separate from apportionments.

PETITION 24 Subject: Clergy Benefi ts as Apportionments Submitted by: Rev. Naomi King, Christ UMC, Weaverville Rev.

Mary Gordon, Montmorenci UMC, Asheville Rick Scarboro, Christ UMC, Weaverville Rev. Richelle Sampl, Glenwood-St. Mark’s Charge, Marion Walt Farris, Christ UMC, Weaverville Terri Blankenship, Christ UMC, Weaverville Text: Whereas, when each church is responsible for contributing an apportionment (fair portion) for ministries, our collective giving spreads the Good News of Jesus Christ into all the world; and Whereas, apportionments are a fair way to share the cost of ministries and gives all of our churches opportunities to be in mission in our communities and the world; and Whereas, the cost of providing health insurance and pension benefi ts for pastors has increased greatly and placed a heavy burden on churches because they are paying for clergy benefi ts directly rather than a fair portion (apportionment) of the cost; and Whereas, available funds in our churches are decreasing due to the severe economic conditions in our country and throughout the world; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church include clergy health insurance and pension benefi ts in conference apportionments.

HISTORICAL MATERIAL A. HISTORICAL SKETCH The Western North Carolina Conference shall include all North Carolina west of the North Carolina Conference, except Savannah Church, in Alleghany County, North Carolina; and also that part of North Carolina lying north of the New River, and including that part of Virginia lying south of that river in the loop in Grayson County, Virginia; including all the territory in Carroll and Patrick Counties, Virginia, south of the crest of the Blue Ridge, and west of the Dan River. (Discipline, 1948, ¶ 1957) This territory is identical with that of the Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South. All three branches of Methodism forming The Methodist Church were included in this new conference. From the Blue Ridge- Atlantic Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church came 39 ministers and 11,901 church members. The North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Protestant Church contributed 74 ministers and 22,361 church members. The Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South, added 377 ministers and 167,028 church members. This gave the new conference 490 members, with 28 others on trial, and 201,290 church members. The Blue Ridge- Atlantic Conference has held 62 ses¬sions; the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, 112; and the Western North Carolina, 50 (see Journal, 1939, pp. 115, 169). The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church was formed on June 5, 1968, by the merger of the Western North Carolina Conference and that portion of the North Carolina-Virginia Conference situated within the bounds of the Western North Carolina Conference (see Journal, 1968, p. 84). The North Carolina-Virginia Conference had been organized in Greensboro on Aug. 11, 1964, and, in addition to the organizational session, held four sessions prior to the 1968 merger. B.

In October of 2000, he was selected by the “Independent Tribune” in Concord as one the “100 Most Infl uential People over the last 100 years” in Cabarrus County. The Rev. Allred was a 32rd Degree Mason and served as State Chaplain for the Grand Masonic Lodge of North Carolina. As far as anybody could tell, he never had a bad day. Don Allred 2010 journal 299 FRED DONALD BEATY DECEMBER 27, 1931–MAY 31, 2009 Don Beaty was a child of God, a good friend, a loving husband and father, an effective pastor, and most of all a faithful servant of our Savior Jesus Christ. Don was born Dec. 27, 1931, in Belmont, N.C., to Annie Maier Beaty and Fred W. Beaty. He grew up in Belmont, earned his Eagle Scout award at age 14, and was active in Belmont First Methodist Church. Don graduated from Belmont High School in 1950, and earned commencement awards for ‘Best High School Citizen,’ ‘Bible,’ and ‘Quill and Scroll,’ and was state Beta Club president his senior year. He remained close with his high school classmates through the years. Don received his Bachelor of Arts in 1954 from Duke University, with majors in English Literature and history. Don sang with the Duke Men’s Glee Club and enjoyed whistling songs. He was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, Who’s Who, and Omicron Delta Kappa (a national leadership honorary). While at Duke, Don was president of the Western NC Conference Methodist Youth Fellowship. During his senior year, Don received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, honoring the graduating senior whose character embodied the qualities of selfl essness, generosity of service, nobility of character, integrity, and deep spirituality. The following statement at that time gave reasons for his award: ‘Because of his unselfi sh and effective contributions to his university, his community, his church–especially in recognition of his exemplary leadership of young people by word and deed, of his worthwhile contributions to the student body through the Young Men’s Christian Association and the Men’s Student Government Association, of his generous use of his musical abilities, and of his dedication of his many talents to God and to the Church.’ Don exhibited these same qualities the rest of his life, and loved leading Duke clergy alumni in singing the Duke Alma Mater. Within the conference, Don received his license to preach in 1950, was ordained Deacon and admitted on trial in 1955, and was ordained Elder in 1959. Don received his Master of Divinity degree from Duke in 1957, and was student body president his senior year. In his ministry, he mentored many Duke Endowment students and taught them the values of scholarship, leadership, and relationships. Throughout the years, Don maintained his deep friendships with other clergy, both young and old, of the Western NC Conference. Don married the love of his life, Emily Nan Grier, on June 18, 1955, and they had a wonderful and loving life together. Emily, a math teacher, always supported Don’s ministry and cherished her life as the pastor’s wife. Don and Emily celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2005 with a reception at Central United Methodist Church in Concord with many family and friends, including most of the members of their wedding party and friends from the churches he had served. Don had a profound and lasting impact on the lives and faith of many people through his more than 40 years of service as a United Methodist minister in the Western NC Conference. He was a man of prayer, a natural leader who always greeted folks with a smile. Don faithfully served the following United Methodist congregations during his career: Gillespie, Charlotte; Fair View, Mount Mourne; Plaza, Charlotte; West Bend, Asheboro; Bethel, Greensboro; Sedgefi eld Lakes and Hickory Grove, Greensboro; Madison, Madison; Weddington, Weddington; Cokesbury, Charlotte; Central, Concord; and Boger City, Lincolnton. In 1995, Don pastored in England with the World Methodist Council exchange program. Always looking for the long-term interest of his congregations, one of his major accomplishments was leading the Weddington congregation in purchasing a major tract of land, which became the foundation of this signifi cant congregation today. Following his retirement in 1997, Don served two interim pastorates that required a strong, pastoral presence at Bethpage, Kannapolis and at Milford Hills, Salisbury. In retirement, he also supported the pastors and members of Central in Concord with his wise presence. Don was also an active leader of the conference, serving as chairperson of the Board of Global Ministries and president of the conference Brotherhood/Sisterhood. He was always passionate about missions, and especially global missions, to share Christ’s love. During Don’s ministry, he received 1024 members into The United Methodist Church! Don is survived by his wife of 53 years, Emily Grier Beaty of Concord; son, Rufus F. Beaty (1/26/58) and wife Beth of Greenville, S.C.; daughter, Susan Beaty Hamner (10/8/59) and her husband Mark of Mount Pleasant, S.C.; and son, Harold Grier Beaty (6/12/62) and his wife Laura of Winston-Salem. The children remember how Don balanced the needs of his congregations with times of family conversation around the dinner table. Don shared much love, joy and laughter with all of his grandchildren and imparted important life lessons to each of them: Ben and Chris Hamner of Mt. Pleasant, S.C.; Grace and Julia Beaty of Greenville, S.C.; and Emily and Thomas Beaty of Winston-Salem, N.C. Don is also survived by his sister, Mary Elizabeth Beaty Bowen of Belmont, N.C., and his brother, R. Carroll Beaty and his wife Margaret of Richlands, N.C., as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins. Don died on May 31, 2009, in Concord, North Carolina, at age 77. The family celebrated his life on June 3, 2009, at Central United Methodist Church in Concord, led by the Rev. Andy Langford and the Rev. Rick Carter, followed by his burial at Steele Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Charlotte. Andy Langford and Emily Beaty HERMAN CALVIN BECK MAY 30, 1927–NOVEMBER 5, 2009 Herman Calvin Beck was born May 30, 1927, in Guilford County, North Carolina to Ira Virgil Beck and Ruth Mitchell Beck, weighing 1 ½ pounds. The doctor who delivered him at home had concerns that he would not make it until morning, but God had a plan! Herman grew up with six brothers and one sister under the guidance of godly parents who encouraged his growth in spiritual things. He treasured the time he spent with his grandmother, Martha Mitchell, who also taught him to love the Lord. Herman’s formal education started at Union Hill School. He graduated from Jamestown High School and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Aug. 9, 1944. He served in WWII in Germany, France, and Iwo Jima. On Sunday, May 7, 1950, revival started in his home church, Mitchell’s Grove United Methodist Church, and Herman gave his life to the Lord. Accepting God’s call to preach the Word of God, he received a local preacher’s license from the Methodist Church on April 2, 1952. Herman graduated on Aug. 21, 1954, with a Bachelor of Arts degree from High Point College. He started his ministerial training at Emory University and completed it at the approved pastors’ school at Duke University on Aug. 9, 1957. On Sept. 26, 1954, he was admitted on trial to the Western NC Conference and received his fi rst appointment to Vickory Chapel and Burnett’s Chapel United Methodist Churches in Greensboro, N.C. He served there from 1954 to 1960. He became a deacon in the Methodist 300 Western North Carolina Conference

Church on Sept. 21, 1956, and an elder in the Methodist Church on June 7, 1958. He served Palm Tree UMC in Lawndale from 1960 to 1965, Thrift UMC in Charlotte from 1965 to 1968, Rhyne Heights UMC in Lincolnton from 1968 to 1974, Calvary UMC in High Point from 1974 to 1983, and Hickory Grove and Sedgefi eld Lakes United Methodist Churches in Greensboro from 1983 to 1984. Herman retired from the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church in 1985, after serving faithfully for 33 years. He served Giles and Charlotte United Methodist Churches in Asheboro from 1987 to 1990. He accepted a pastorate at Thomasville Christian Fellowship in October of 1990, and was still preaching God’s Word there when the Lord called him home. On May 30, 1953, Herman married Latricia (Pat) Stanley, born Oct. 15, 1927, of High Point, N.C. She became his helpmate in serving the Lord. Pat went to be with the Lord after a battle with cancer on Nov. 28, 1982. The Lord sent another helpmate to Herman. Linda King Brumfi eld was married to Herman on April 24, 1984. Herman was proud of his family which includes: Marsha Beck Carrigan, born on Sept. 27, 1954, and her husband Eddie; Verna Beck Hunt, born April 2, 1960, and her husband, James; Kermit Ervin Brumfi eld born Aug. 2, 1963, and his wife Trisha; Stephanie Burke Ward, born Feb. 10, 1969, and her husband Chris; Matthew O’Neil Brumfi eld born Dec. 11, 1974, and his wife Angie; Angie Wall Whitehead, born Dec. 13, 1968, and her husband Darren. He was blessed with 20 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. There are many other “spiritual” children Herman considered part of his extended family, however, they are too numerous to mention. On Oct. 15, 2009, Herman had a heart attack. After a three-week hospitalization, Herman Beck, surrounded by his family, received his promotion from this world to his eternal home with Jesus on Nov. 5, 2009. A beautiful memorial service on Nov. 8, 2009, at Thomasville Christian Fellowship in Thomasville, North Carolina, celebrated Herman’s life. Herman faithfully followed God’s call to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone he met. He was a good shepherd to the congregations he was called to serve, loving all people with the unconditional love of our Lord. He lived what he preached and stood steadfast on God’s Word. Herman left his footprints on the hearts of so many people past, present, and future. He was truly a great friend, pastor, husband, and dad, but most of all a great man of God. As the Apostle Paul wrote in I Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand fi rm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” If Herman could ask one thing of us, it would be to make Jesus Lord of your life, serve Him and join Herman in heaven one day.

HUGH LAWRENCE BOND OCTOBER 7, 1936–NOVEMBER 17, 2009 The Rev. Dr. Hugh Lawrence “Larry” Bond, son of the late Freeman and Virginia Martin Bond of Memphis, Tenn., died on Nov. 17, 2009, at his home in Boone, N.C., after battling cancer for a year. He was born Oct. 7, 1936, in Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Bond is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Stephanie Bond White (b. April 13, 1973) and her husband Mike of Newland, N.C., and Miss Julianne Wilson Bond (b. May 25, 1995) of Boone, N.C. He is also survived by two grandchildren, Carter Michael White and Kylie Jean White of Newland, N.C., and one half-brother, Mr. Don Rogers of Rincon, Ga. Funeral services for Dr. Bond were held on Sunday Nov. 22, 2009, at the Linville Falls Community Church, with the Rev. Shelly Wilson, Mr. Ralph Lentz II, and Mr. Don Kaple offi ciating. Burial followed at the Pisgah United Methodist Church Cemetery in the Linville Falls Community. Dr. Bond earned his A.B. from Lambuth College in 1958, his B.D. (1961), and Ph.D. (1967) from Duke University. In 1955, he was licensed to preach, and was admitted to the Memphis Conference in 1958. He became a deacon of the Methodist Conference in 1961, entered into full connection in 1963, and became an elder in 1968. In 1973, Dr. Bond joined the Western NC Methodist Conference, from which he retired in 2005. Dr. Bond served as the pastor of the Linville Falls Community Church in Avery County, N.C. from 1983 until his death in November 2009. Only two weeks before his passing, Dr. Bond delivered his last sermon from a wheelchair. His academic career was long and distinguished. From 1973 until his full retirement in 2008, Dr. Bond was a professor of Medieval History at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. He was a world renowned expert on Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464), perhaps the most important theologian and philosopher of the Medieval West in the fi rst half of the fi fteenth century. Dr. Bond published three books on Nicholas of Cusa, including Nicholas of Cusa on Interreligious Harmony (1991), and Nicholas of Cusa: Selected Spiritual Writings (1997), as well as numerous articles. He was the founder and fi rst president of the American Cusanus Society. From 1979 to 1981, Dr. Bond was given the I. G. Greer Distinguished Professor of History Award at Appalachian State University for his excellence in teaching and scholarship. He spoke at numerous conferences on Nicholas of Cusa around the world—from Japan and Germany to San Francisco and Kalamazoo, MI. At the time of his death he was working on translating medieval exegetes’ interpretations of the book of Romans, which will be published by Eerdmans in the future. The motivation behind all of H. Lawrence Bond’s work was his love for the Lord of the Gospel, and the Gospel of the Lord. It was manifested in the pastoral care of his Linville Falls congregation, in his volunteer work with the homeless and mentally-ill at the Hospitality House in Boone, and his participation and arrest during the lunch counter sit-ins in Greensboro and Durham in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. His love for the gospel of peace was manifested in anti-war protests during the Vietnam War, and in several letters of deferment for prospective student draftees. Dr. Bond cared for his students and his colleagues alike with a Christ-like love, and he sought to bring the best out of them through Christ-like devotion to teaching and scholarship, doing to them, as Paul admonished, “as to the Lord.” (Col. 3:23) His passing has left a great void in both the academic world and among his church family. While the Linville Falls Community Church seeks a successor for him—“he will never be replaced”—as one of his parishioners stated—his congregation plans on memorializing his 26 years of service by naming the new fellowship hall in his honor. Upon hearing of Dr. Bond’s death, Dr. Walter Andreas Euler, Director of the Institute for Cusanus Research in Germany, sent his condolences to the congregation at Linville Falls, writing that “Larry was a wonderful man and a brilliant researcher in the fi eld of Nicholas of Cusa. His translations and interpretations of Cusanus’ writings will certainly be profi tably studied further in the future. . .The loss is grievous, the hope for resurrection. . .is stronger.” Another close friend and colleague of Dr. Bond’s, the Rev. Dr. Philip Krey, President of the Philadelphia Lutheran Seminary, stated that “We lost a great scholar and friend. . .We will miss his questions, humor, and wonderful humanity.” H. Lawrence Bond was a hopeful, faithful, servant of Jesus Christ. About a month before his death he wrote, “I have nothing to lose except my cancer.” And he shared this hope through his scholarship and preaching. As Pastor Shelly Wilson stated at his funeral, the Rev. Dr. H. Lawrence Bond has left a powerful and living legacy among all those who knew him: “Refl ecting upon Larry’s life and our lives together, the re-creation of God’s life may be seen.” Ralph E. Lentz II, M.A. 2010 journal 301 CLAUDE LEE CAMPBELL, JR. MAY 28, 1925–FEBRUARY 16, 2010 The Rev. Claude Lee Campbell, Jr. was born in Onancock, Virginia, on May 28, 1925, to Susan Watson Campbell and Claude Lee Campbell, Sr. He had one sister Margaret, a brother, George. Claude received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Asbury College in 1950. He then served one year with Methodist Missions on Isle of Pines, Cuba. While at Asbury College, Claude fell in love with Jean Lowery and they were married in 1951. Claude attended Candler School of Theology, Emory University and received a Master’s of Divinity in 1956. Claude was ordained deacon in the South Georgia Conference in 1953, and elder in 1955. He served in the South Georgia Conference for 15 years beginning with the Kite Charge, Kite, Ga. (1951–1952,) with fi ve churches; the Stapleton Charge, Stapleton, Ga. (1952–1956) with four churches; associate at St. Luke UMC in Columbus, Ga. (1956–1958); Ebenezer UMC in Macon, Ga. (1958–1961); and Byron UMC in Byron Ga. (1961–1964). From 1964–65, Claude was involved in Clinical Pastoral Education, at Georgia Baptist Hospital, in Atlanta, Ga. These experiences in the South Georgia Conference prepared Claude for his most signifi cant role in ministry. In 1965, Claude became Chaplain of Gaston Memorial Hospital in Gastonia, N.C. He was known for providing pastoral care to the hospital staff as well as to the patients and their families. He was known for providing friendship and pastoral care to the local clergy who came to visit their church members in the hospital. Claude’s friendship with the clergy helped him establish the Adjunct Chaplain’s Program at the hospital. Local clergy provided 24 hours, seven days a week, pastoral care for patients and their families in the hospital. Only the Lord knows how many times Claude listened to, prayed for, and touched the lives of patients, their families, the hospital staff, and the adjunct staff of clergy. He served Gaston Memorial Hospital for 25 years and retired in 1990. Claude gave outstanding leadership to the North Carolina Chaplain’s Association. On May 2, 1991, he was recognized for “his visionary leadership and commitment to professional chaplaincy” and awarded the distinction of Emeritus Member. He was recognized again on April 10, 1997, for his “pioneering leadership in health care chaplaincy and commitment as a mentor and friend to his professional colleagues.” Being a mentor and friend to clergy will be his legacy. Claude also served his local community. He was instrumental in the formation of Hospice of Gaston County and served as president and board member. Claude loved Myers Memorial United Methodist in Gastonia, N.C., where he attended with his family. He lovingly supported every pastor who served Myers and touched the lives of so many laity. After retirement from the hospital, Claude organized support groups for those who were recently divorced. He served on many committees and boards within the Western NC Conference including the Board of Ordained Ministry. He enjoyed serving on the Walk to Emmaus and Kairos Prison Ministry. Claude and Jean have had a loving family. Their youngest son, Mark, has lived with Claude and Jean. Mark will be remembered for his loving care of his dad when Claude’s health was failing. Their daughter Jeanna Campbell Hyland, husband Bill, grandson Cory, granddaughter Dawnelle and grandson Brian brought so much joy to Claude’s life. Their oldest son, Claude “Lee” III, married Candace Chronister. A great sadness overtook Claude and Jean when Lee died in a motorcycle accident in 1980, while attending N.C. State University. Claude and Jean later introduced their daughter-in-law Candace, to one of their young clergy friends David Lawrence (who has written this memoir). “Candy” and David, and their children, Anna and Jonathan, have always been considered family. During Claude and Jean’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration, someone said, “Many people collect things but Claude and Jean collect people.” Their home was always open to friends and to the many clergy that Claude mentored and loved. Jean said, “If we loved you, then we ate with you”. I wonder how many clergy and laity in our Western NC Conference have had a meal in their home. Claude died on Feb. 16, 2010, at his home. A celebration of life was held at Myers Memorial United Methodist Church. In attendance were family, friends who had become like family, laity from Myers, clergy that Claude had loved and mentored throughout the years, and hospital staff from Gaston Memorial Hospital. We remembered someone who listened to us, loved us, and prayed for us often. We will continue to remember this loving man who embodied a lifetime of pastoral care. “The time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fi ght. I have fi nished the race. I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:6b-7. David Lawrence JOHN WESLEY COLE DECEMBER 10, 1924–JANUARY 20, 2010 The Rev. John Wesley Cole was born Dec. 10, 1924, in Harris, N.C., to Robert “Grady” Cole and Alma Owens Cole. He grew up in Rutherford County with his two brothers, Heber and James. He graduated from Harris High School. He proudly served in the Army during WWII. He attended Gardner-Webb College and Lenoir-Rhyne College. In 1957, he was licensed to preach, he was ordained as a deacon for the Western NC Conference in 1960, an elder in 1962, was on trial 1963, receiving full connection in 1965. John was a member of Kistler’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Rutherfordton, where he received his training for singing, and leading the gospel choir, learning the shape notes from the singing schools he attended as a youth and young adult. He used his love of music, song writing, and singing, in his ministry and even after his retirement. In 1958, he started his ministry in the Morganton Circuit until 1963; from 1963 until 1964, he served the Salem-Barnardsville charge in Asheville; from 1964 until 1968, he served Salem Church in Weaverville; from 1968 until 1969, he served Grace Chapel/Baton charge in the Statesville District; from 1969 until 1973, he served the Grace Chapel/Ebenezer Charge; from 1973 until 1977, he served North Morganton UMC in the Marion District; from 1977 until 1981, serving the Spray UMC in the Northeast District; from 1981 until 1985, serving the Marshville UMC in the Albemarle District; from 1985 until 1988, serving Centenary UMC in the Salisbury District. He retired in 1988, and made his home Granite Falls, N.C. He attended Ebenezer United Methodist where he continued his ministry in leading Bible studies and leading the choir. On March 21, 1948, he married Wilda Ruppe. She was a devoted “preacher’s wife” and his dutiful helpmate until her death in 1989. They were blessed with four children: Thomas Wesley (1-3-1949), Marsha Anne (5-8-1956), Mari-Lynn (6-25-1957) and John Tony 2-14-1962; nine grandchildren, one great-grandson, and three step-great-grandchildren. John passed away Jan. 20, 2010, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Funeral services were conducted Jan. 25, 2010, at Ebenezer United Methodist Church with the Rev. Eric Lane, the Rev. Mitchell Wilson, and the Rev. Carl Hamm offi ciating. He was buried in the church cemetery with military and Masonic rites. John loved his family, his country, singing, The United Methodist Church, and most of all his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Marsha McRary 302 Western North Carolina Conference DORIS JANE HILL CORNELIUS DECEMBER 13, 1927–SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 Doris Jane Hill Cornelius was born on Dec. 13, 1927, in Monroe, North Carolina, to Johnie T. Hill and Kate Privette Hill. She died at Hospice Monroe on Sept. 24, 2009, after some years of declining health. Doris is survived by her husband of over 60 years, James C. “Jimmy” Cornelius, her daughter Jane Creech and husband the Rev. Harlan Creech, one grandson Joseph Creech and wife Nikki, a great granddaughter Matalyn Creech, a sister Betty Ballew, and brother Douglas “Ducky” Hill and his wife Coleen. A service of celebration memorializing Doris’ life occurred on Sept. 24, 2009, at Central United Methodist Church with the Rev. Dr. J. Matthew Burton and the Rev. Britt Hadley offi ciating. Doris spent all of her early years growing up as a Methodist in Monroe participating in both Memorial United Methodist Church and Central United Methodist Church, respectively. Her deep love for the Lord and her profound appreciation for His Church led her to begin working within Central Church. Doris began her career as the church secretary but eventually followed a calling into Christian education. For a span of thirty-eight years, Doris’ love welcomed and touched the lives of countless children, youth, and adults. She served Christ for 28 years as Director of Christian Education at Central, Monroe and 10 years as Director of Children and Older Adult Ministries at Providence United Methodist Church in Charlotte. Doris possessed a servant’s heart that was demonstrated through years of devoted and conscientious self-giving. Her energetic and compassionate way of loving and dealing with people will remain an inspiration to all those who knew and worked with her. Doris’ ministry greatly infl uenced young women who now serve the Church as Christian educators or ministers. Doris was educated in the Monroe City Schools. She attended Wingate College, as well as, Scarritt College in Nashville, Tennessee. She received her associate degree in Christian Education from Scarritt. Doris was commissioned as a diaconal minister within the Western NC Conference in June, 1977. The diaconal ministry designation was an immense honor and privilege to her. Doris was always eager and willing to serve beyond the local churches in which she worked. She worked throughout her years in ministry on a variety of district and conference committees and boards. Today many “Doris stories” continue to be circulated around our church here at Central, Monroe. Every story reveals the unconditional love that worked its way out of Doris’ heart and into our lives. I, as the writer of this memoir, want to share with you an experience that was indicative and illustrative of Doris’ ministry. My fi rst memory as a young associate minister at Central comes the afternoon my family and I moved into the church parsonage. We had not been unloading the U-Haul truck for ten minutes when a station wagon pulled up in the front yard. Doris literally jumped from the vehicle to welcome us to our new home. She quickly began dispensing interest and care toward our two sons, Jeff and Neil. Doris learned that my oldest son was sad because “he didn’t have any friends.” The next thing we experienced was Doris asking if she could take the boys off for awhile. Four hours later Doris Cornelius returned with the boys. She had introduced them to every little boy or girl that she could locate within Central United Methodist Church. Jeff came running back across the front yard shouting, “Daddy, I have a lot of friends now!” And Doris was one of those precious dear friends! Doris Cornelius has left us with an example of a life lived in love and service for Christ. Her thoughtful and vibrant witness remains to inspire us and to call us to live “beyond ourselves” as we “love the Lord, our God, with all our hearts, with all our minds, and with all our souls… and love our neighbors, as much as we love ourselves.” Britt Hadley

Never afraid to try new things, he took up dancing and bridge in his 80’s and learned to play the piano in his 90’s. He believed in eating correctly, exercise, and healthy living habits. Harlan Creech was a pastor in the truest meaning of the word: tirelessly caring for his church members through sickness, health, and facing life’s problems. He persuaded people with the example of quiet sincerity, honesty, and dedication. His was a good life lived to its fullest by a good man.

FLOYD LEE HECKARD JANUARY 24, 1923–JUNE 28, 2009 Chaplain, Colonel, U.S. Army Retired Floyd Lee Heckard died Sunday, June 28, 2009, at Hospice Savannah. He was born in Gastonia on Jan. 24, 1923. He graduated from Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C., with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1947, and from the Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., with an M.Div. degree in 1949. He was ordained as a United Methodist deacon in 1949 and an elder in 1951. He became a full member of the Western NC Conference in 1951. Floyd Lee Heckard descended from a long line of Methodist ministers. The included: his father, the Rev. Martin William Heckard (1888–1965); a brother, the Rev. Martin William Heckard, Jr. (1916–1975); and another brother, the Rev. Dr. Cecil Linwood Heckard (1914–1975). All of them were members of the Western NC Conference and were long-serving and highly respected Methodist ministers. 304 Western North Carolina Conference

Floyd was a member of the Greatest Generation. Tom Brokaw, a well-known broadcast journalist, wrote in his book “The Greatest Generation” about Floyd and his generation. He wrote this is the greatest generation any society has produced. These men grew up during the deprivation of the Great Depression, went to fi ght in World War II (WWII), not for fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do. When they came back home they quietly got on with their lives and in the process, rebuilt America into a superpower. Floyd qualifi ed for this characterization because his college studies were interrupted when he entered the Army in 1943 to fi ght in WWII. He served as an infantry platoon leader in Germany where he earned the Combat Infantry Badge for ground combat in contact with an armed enemy and the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat. He carried for the remainder of his life, shell fragments in his legs that he received in combat. Upon termination of hostilities in Europe, he served as an Infantry company commander in the Philippine Islands and was responsible for fi nding hiding Japanese soldiers who did not believe the war was over. Upon separation from military service, he returned home, married his sweetheart and resumed his studies for the ministry at Wofford College and Emory University. After graduation and brief assignments as a minister in Deerford, La., and Taylorsville, he reentered the U.S. Army in 1952 and served as a chaplain until his retirement from the Army in 1978. During this period he held peace-time assignments in the United States and Europe. On one assignment, he was the chaplain for the U.S. Army European Command, and in that capacity, he supervised all Army chaplains in Europe and Africa. He also served again in combat, fi rst as a Battalion chaplain in the Korean War and then as an Army Division chaplain in the Vietnam War. He considered the apex of his religious career the wartime day in Vietnam when, within a few short hours after having breakfast with his commanding general and several key division offi cers and observing their departure, he learned the helicopter in which they were riding had been shot down by enemy forces with loss of all personnel on board. He immediately gathered all available personnel for a religious service in recognition of the horrible event–he conducted a memorial service several days later. Early in his career, he specialized in hospital care. Once he was the chaplain for the 9th Army Medical Hospital Center near Heidelberg, Germany, and three times he was a chaplain or the chaplain for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where he was responsible for religious activities and pastoral care. While there, he ministered to the Army’s most severely wounded personnel of all ranks, as well as non-military government VIPs (Very Important Person) such as former President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. After retiring from the Army, he ministered for 10 years to old retired military personnel at the Soldier’s and Airman’s Home in Washington D.C. The medals he received during his career included: the Legion of Merit (awarded for extraordinarily meritorious conduct while discharging his or her duty with outstanding services and achievements) with two oak leaf clusters (indicating receipt of the medal two more times); the Bronze Star of Medal with three oak leaf clusters (awarded for brave or praiseworthy achievement or service that distinguishes oneself from his or her comrades); the Air Medal with three awards (awarded for meritorious achievement while involved in aerial fl ight); and, the Army Commendation Medal with three oak leaf clusters (awarded for heroism, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service which are of a lesser degree than that required for the Bronze Star Medal). Floyd was blessed because he married Rebecca Beamer Heckard of Mount Airy in 1945. She accompanied him on all his assignments in the United States and on three tours of duty in Germany. She actively supported his ministry by playing the organ for many Sunday services, acting as chairwoman for various church sponsored activities such as the Protestant Women of the Chapel, and as tour guide for visits to many religious sites. She served as hostess for the many entertainment functions expected to be conducted by an Army chaplain. Floyd was especially proud of the title “Chaplain,” the title used by all Army clergypersons regardless of denomination. He used it consistently in his interaction with people instead of the Army title of Colonel. Even after returning to civilian life in 1978, he continued to use the title “Chaplain.” Floyd was buried with full military honors in the National Cemetery in Beaufort, S.C., on July 1, 2009, coincidentally, his 64th wedding anniversary.

MURIEL CLIMAX HICKMAN MARCH 5, 1921–JULY 10, 2009 The Rev. M.C. Hickman was born to James and Prudence Hickman in Coulterville, Tenn., on March 5, 1921. He graduated from Booker T. Washington High School in Chattanooga, Tenn., and attended A & I University in Nashville, Tenn. He was one of 10 children. On Aug. 1, 1947, he married Iphigean Smith with whom he would share 62 years of marriage. He was the father of the late Jerry Hickman; Glenn Hickman of Harriman, Tenn.; Charles Hickman of Asheville; Gary Hickman of Hixson, Tenn.; and Donna Wilkie of Asheville. He was the proud grandfather of nine grandchildren and 14 grandchildren. The Rev. Hickman entered the ministry after working in construction at the University of Tennessee. He was active in his local congregation where he fi rst sensed the call to ministry and began to preach in the 1950s. He began his formal ministry training at Zion Bible College in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he graduated in 1957. He also attended licensing school in Waveland Mississippi (1957-1960). He graduated with honors as a correspondence student from the Fundamentalist Theological Seminary of Los Angeles, Calif. He was admitted on trial and ordained as a deacon in 1959 by Bishop Edgar Love at the meeting of the Tennessee-Kentucky Conference of the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church. He was ordained and received into full conference membership in the Tennessee-Kentucky Conference in 1967. His service in ministry spanned three annual conferences, one in the Central Jurisdiction and two in the Southeastern Jurisdiction. His appointments included: Athens and Rockwood, Tenn.; Seney Chapel in Knoxville, Tenn.; Hurst in Chattanooga, Tenn.; Charles Wesley in Abingdon, Va.; Seney Chapel in Knoxville, Tenn.; New Century in Harriman, Tenn.; John Wesley in Bristol, Va.; Berry Temple and Wilson Chapel in Asheville, N.C.; and St. John in Eden and Chapel Hill-Reidsville N.C. The Rev. Hickman transferred into the Western NC Conference from the Holston Conference in 1977, when he began his service in Asheville. He served in this conference until 1988, when he took the retired relationship. Retirement, though, became a time of great activity for him. Returning to Asheville, he renewed his involvement with the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, serving as a guide and mentor to countless pastors from a wide variety of backgrounds and denominations. He served a three-year interim appointment at New Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, and preached regularly in churches across the community and region until declining health forced him to stop preaching. 2010 journal 305

Even after he was no longer able to preach, he still remained active in leading worship at Berry Temple. He would mount the pulpit each Sunday to lead the pastoral prayer. His words and presence were a testament to his deep faith and trust in the God who had sustained him for many years. Only in his last year did he return to the pews after more than a half century of leading God’s people in worship. His struggle with multiple health issues did not deter his deep faith. Even in his last days, as he rested in a coma-like state, God’s presence and peace were clearly with him. He passed peacefully at the St. Joseph Campus of Mission Hospitals on Friday, July 10, 2009. A worship service in celebration of the life, faith, and ministry of the Rev. Hickman was held on July 15, 2009, at Berry Temple United Methodist Church, Asheville. Presiding over the service was the Rev. Russell Pierce, pastor and the Rev. Ricky Spain of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, a beloved friend and colleague. Leadership of the service was shared by pastors from across the community representing a number of denominations and faith communities. After the funeral service, the Rev. Hickman’s body was laid to rest in the West Carolina State Veterans Seminary with military rites. The service leadership was shared by the Rev. Russell Pierce, the Rev. Ricky Spain and the Rev. Dr. Charles Moseley. The Rev. Hickman was a faithful servant over many years and impacted the lives of many people. The presence of representatives from his previous congregations–some of them from more than a generation back – was a true testament to his life, ministry and faith. Russell Pierce J EDWIN HOUK NOVEMBER 8, 1931–AUGUST 25, 2009 J Edwin Houk was born in Morganton, Burke County, North Carolina, to the late John Robert Houk and Allie Herron Houk, and reared in Rutherford College. Having graduated from Francis Garrou High School in Valdese, he spent seven years at Duke University. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1953, and his Master’s of Divinity in 1956. During his 45 years of active ministry in the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church, Ed served 17 churches. In 1956, at the annual conference held at Centenary Church in Winston-Salem, Bishop Nolan Harmon appointed him to the Skyland Church, where he ministered for fi ve years. This church is the one he also attended in retirement, having moved to Givens Estates. Throughout his ministry, Ed was often involved with Boy Scout troops in his churches. He also liked hiking and camping with other groups. Ed often planned and directed day camps and overnight camps in several churches. Some of Ed’s favorite activities were painting, pottery, collecting coins, stamps, and postcards. At one time he had over 40,000 postcards and 25 albums of stamps. Traveling was another pastime that brought joy. He traveled in Holland, Germany, Austria, France, the Holy Land, Greece, and Italy. The travels are refl ected in his paintings. Ed attended several General Conferences: Dallas, St. Louis, and Atlanta. There were three things that were important to Ed: fi rst, God and the church; second, family and friends; third, Duke and Duke basketball. He was an avid Duke fan and rarely missed a televised game. As Ed approached the end of his earthly life, with tears in his eyes, he asked Jane Curran to speak of his faith journey at his memorial service. He said to Jane, “The God who has taken care of me this far will continue to provide whatever I need. God will be in whatever happens. I know that whatever comes next will be for my best. I want people to remember that about me.” Ed’s witness was his life for as long as he lived. What we knew long before Ed died and what we know today is that his courage to choose life as his body was dying is the courage he exhibited his entire life. He is survived by his son Walter Robert Houk and his wife Teresa; a step-grandson Chris Satterfi eld, all of Charlotte; sister Mary Houk of Givens Estates in Asheville; a brother James L. Houk and wife Trudy of Marietta, Ga.; a niece Melonie Dennison and husband Greg; and, a great-nephew Derrik Dennison, all of Caneyville, Ky. A memorial service was held Aug. 28, 2009, at Skyland United Methodist Church with the Revs. Keith Turman and Joe Fulk offi ciating. Interment followed in Pisgah Gardens Cemetery in Pisgah Forest.

One of Preacher Jones’ favorite Bible passages was Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’ s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in t he house of the LORD for ever. Alvin’s mission in life was to preach the gospel and that is what he did. It is with great gratitude that we remember the long and important life and ministry of Alvin G. Jones, husband, friend, minister of the gospel and proclaimer of God’s Holy word. Penny Hollifi eld

HAROLD NORMAN SMISOR DECEMBER 18, 1933–NOVEMBER 23, 2009 The Rev. Harold Norman Smisor was born on Dec. 18, 1933, in Marion, Indiana, to his loving parents Berton and Ruby Breedlove. He was immediately the little brother of his sister, Pat, and eventually big brother to his sister, Bonnie. The Rev. Smisor would go on to graduate from Friends University in Wichita, Kan. While attending Friends University, he, along with a small group, started a church known as the Northside Friends in Wichita. That church is still thriving today. He attended Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. After Seminary, Harold taught math and history at an elementary school before taking a full-time pastorate. He began his service to his Savior in 1959, as a pastor in the Friends denomination. He transferred to the United Methodist ministry in 1997. He became a deacon in 1997 and an elder in 1999. He “retired” from the ministry in 1999, and yet went on to serve in a three-church charge in Mill Spring, N.C. In that fi nal charge he nurtured three congregations and oversaw the development of tremendous leaders under his guidance. In 2008, he retired from this charge and became mentor and assistant at New Hope United Methodist Church in Green Creek, N.C. His ministerial service would cover a span of 50 years and touch more lives than can be numbered. On Nov. 23, 2009, in his home, he lost a long brave fi ght with colon cancer and went home to be with his Lord. He is survived by his wife, June Smisor, loving sister Bonnie Bedwell, sons Matt, Mark, Ken, Grant, daughter Beth, and his extended family of Cathy, Joy, Jeri, Jennifer, and Jamey, 26 grandchildren, and one great- grandchild. In 1959, Harold married his fi rst love, Janet Matthews. Together they became the fi rst pastoral family to Forsyth Friends in Winston-Salem, N.C. As they continued in God’s service, they were blessed with three boys, Matt, Mark, and Ken. Harold lost his beloved Janet to cancer in 1975. He then met and married a lovely widow, Ann Reece, who had a son and daughter of her own, Grant and Beth. They, too, continued in God’s service, and worked together to raise their fi ve children, and welcome the birth of their grandchildren. Harold’s dear wife Ann succumbed to cancer in 1993. He then met and married my mother, June Hill. He was welcomed into a growing family of 20. He and my mom would ultimately boast of a combined family of 10 children, 26 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Dad, Pastor, Grandpa, Reverend, friend, husband, mentor, brother, son, Pop, leader, teacher, the list goes on and on. All of these titles still seem inadequate to describe the man who was so many things to so many, but who I called Pop. Actually the name Pop was given to Harold by 308 Western North Carolina Conference my daughter, Rachel. She was the fi rst grandchild born after he married my mother, and Rachel affectionately called him Pop. From that point on, he was Pop to us all. Harold and my mom embarked on what would be his fi nal journey on this earth. His sense of humor was surpassed only by his compassion for the human condition, and as my mom would often say “everyone who met Harold liked him.” Together they continued Harold’s ministry, as well as a puppet ministry known as the “Sonshine Puppets.” Pop brought the same kindness and gentle spirit that made him such a tremendous minister to my family. He showed me repeatedly over the years what it meant to walk in humbleness, to meet others wherever life found them, and to love unconditionally. He taught me that pastors are humans too, and that because of that humanity, we are drawn closer to our Heavenly Father. I learned that it is okay to doubt, be afraid, question, and lose sight as long as we take those very human emotions to the only One who can bear our burdens with us. I was repeatedly amazed by his drive to live at times when so many would have given up, but my Pop believed that we are to fi ght for the life God gives us until the time He says “it is fi nished.” In 1945, a 12-year-old boy rode his bike on his paper route. God reached down and called on that boy to be His servant. That boy, Harold Smisor, answered God’s call and committed his life to his Father’s service at the tender age of 12. On Nov. 23, 2009 God called His servant, His son Harold Norman Smisor, home. As his wife, sister, children, and grandchildren held his hand here and kissed him good-bye in this world, his Heavenly Father reached for Harold’s hand, wrapped His arms around His boy, and said “welcome home my faithful son.” Jennifer Furman

ROBERT HENRY STAMEY NOV. 3, 1915–JANUARY 22, 2010 Robert Henry Stamey was born on Nov. 3, 1915, in Fallston, North Carolina. He was the son of Robert Franklin and Annie Alexander. Bob had three brothers Blanche Alexander Stamey, David Gilbert Stamey, and Ben Franklin Stamey; and, four sisters Margaret Royster, Eliza Ross, Kathryn Nelson, and Betty Simpson. Bob married Thelma Hubbard on June 6, 1942, and they enjoyed a long marriage until she died on Sept. 17, 2006. He was a devoted father to son Kenneth Robert Stamey and daughter Melissa Stamey. Bob had two grandchildren, Lindsey Raeburn and Tyler K. Stamey. Bob received his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Duke University in 1941, and an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Pfeiffer College in 1971. He received his license to preach in 1932. Bob was ordained deacon in 1943 and elder in 1945. He served faithfully in Western North Carolina from 1941 until 1982. His places of service include the following: Ebenezer in the Gastonia District (1941–1944); Pineville (1944–1946); Commonwealth in Charlotte (1946–1952); President, Brevard College (1952–1957); Vice-President, Brevard College (1957–1958); Main Street in High Point (1958–1961); First UMC in North Wilkesboro (1961–1963); Hawthorne Lane in Charlotte (1963–1967); Executive Secretary of the Western NC Conference Board of Education (1967–1969); Grace in Greensboro (1969–1973); District Superintendent, North Wilkesboro District (1973–1979); First UMC in Cherryville (1979–1982). After many years of faithful service, Bob retired in 1982. Bob lived among friends at Lake Junaluska in retirement. He and his lovely wife Thelma were most active in and through the congregation of First UMC, Waynesville. Bob loved to reminisce about his many years of service in the denomination he loved. One of Bob’s most satisfying accomplishments was the opportunity to become president of Brevard College when it was in dire straits and helping revitalize this United Methodist institution. In addition, Bob also served in a signifi cant leadership position as District Superintendent of the North Wilkesboro District of our annual conference. He and his precious and loving wife Thelma served in numerous leadership positions in the First Waynesville congregation. Bob also enjoyed supporting Thelma in her roles of leadership in United Methodist Women. They were both revered among members at their church, young and old. He died on Jan. 22, 2010.

JOSEPH MARION TAYLOR, JR. JUNE 21, 1921–JANUARY 24, 2010 The Rev. Joseph Marion Taylor, Jr. was born June 21, 1921, to the late Joseph Marion Taylor, Sr., and Maude Bailey Taylor of Statesville, N.C. Following graduation from Cool Spring High School and Mitchell College, Joe received an A.B. degree from High Point University and completed Course of Study at Emory University. Ordained a deacon in 1949 and elder in 1951, Joe served as a United Methodist minister in the Western NC Conference for over 60 years. His home church was Chapel Hill United Methodist Church, Statesville from 1927 to 1943, when he received his fi rst appointment as a student supply to Mooresville: Jones Memorial. Appointments to follow included Helton Charge (Grassy Creek, Greenwood, Helton, Lansing, Trinity) 1944–1945; West Jefferson 1945–1946; Cool Springs Charge (Cool Spring, New Salem, and Providence) 1946–1950; Hudson-Mt. Herman Charge, Hudson, N. C. 1950–1954; Bethlehem, Claremont, 1954–1956; Calvary, Greensboro, 1956–1960; Mount Olivet, Concord, 1960–1963; Marvin, Winston-Salem, 1963–1968; Trinity, Charlotte, 1968–1972; Sedge Garden, Kernersville, 1972–1976; Guilford College, Greensboro, 1976–1981; First, Reidsville, 1981–1986. Following his 1986 retirement, and working with his wife Millie, he continued to assist churches in raising funds for new sanctuaries, renovations, and church budgets in the Western North Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia United Methodist Church conferences. In 1993, Joe was appointed to Saint Mark, Germanton where he served until 2004. Joe served as a mentor to 16 students and interns from High Point University, Greensboro College, and Duke University in summer programs assisting them in learning the work of the church. Joe and Millie provided residence in their parsonage home to these students welcoming them as members of their family. He encouraged and helped students in his churches to get fi nancial aid and scholarships to go to college. Many of them said they would not have had a college education without his help. Others credited him for introducing them to lifetime friendships through church youth activities and conferences. One young person stated, “I just hope I can live my life to give to people as he has.” 2010 journal 309

Actively promoting missions, Joe was the Greensboro District missionary secretary under the direction of the Rev. Horace McSwain from 1956–1960. He participated in conference sponsored mission events which included an evangelistic mission to Cuba in 1958. At the time of his visit to Cuba, political tensions were high. Batista was in power and Castro was hiding out in the mountains which made travel a security concern. Joe described how he and another minister would hide, away from the main highway, while their guide, who was taking them to the location of the church service, would secure a taxi and verify the driver could be trusted and the transportation was safe. Other conference- sponsored trips included evangelistic services at the Greenport Methodist Church, Long Island, N.Y., where he preached a series of services. He participated in a conference evangelistic exchange program where ministers of the Western NC Conference went to work with churches in the Eastern Shore District of Virginia and their ministers came to the Western NC Conference. Joe believed we all need to 1) Follow Christ and claim the place he has given to us as one of his disciples; 2) Join hands and make an effort to unite as servants of the Lord; and 3) Open our heart to the Christian message of hope. Those he served described him by saying, “If you were going to pick a good man it would have been Joe Taylor.” “You will never know what Joe meant to me and my family. I know that he touched a lot of lives over the years. We all will never know all the good that was done from the lives he came in contact with.” “I thought a lot of Joe. He reached out to my family and was always willing to listen. The reason I joined the church was because of him. He never put any pressure on me or my family to join. However, he would always share with me his thoughts on how the church could help me or my family.” “I will never forget Joe. He helped our family in time of need. He always stood by us and showed his concern and love.” “I have never met a minister who shared so much love and care for people.” “He was like a brother to me.” “He was the best friend I ever had.” A member of the Hibriten Masonic Lodge No. 262 in Lenoir, N. C., Joe was recognized for 50 years as a Master Mason, Dec. 7, 2001. He enjoyed golfi ng, gardening, fi shing, sewing, cross stitch, basket weaving, wood projects, and walking. Preceded in death by a brother William Franklin Taylor, and two infant daughters, Betty Jo Taylor, born Jan. 15, 1952, and Mary Carolyn Taylor, born Sept. 5, 1956, he is survived by his wife Millison “Millie” Bryant Taylor, whom he married May 25, 1950; a daughter Marian Yvonne Dickens, of Kernersville, N. C., born Nov. 20, 1954; a son Timothy Hayes Taylor, born Nov. 5, 1961, and daughter-in-law Judy Taylor of Sharpsburg, Georgia; four grandchildren, James Matthew Dickens, Benjamin Andrew Taylor, Jennifer Lauren Stewart, Jacob Douglas Stewart; and two grand-dogs Gracie Lou and Bailey. At the time of his death, Jan. 24, 2010, Joe was a resident of the Fitzgerald Health Center of the Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community in Winston-Salem, N.C. A memorial service and committal was held Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, at Sedge Garden United Methodist Church, Kernersville, N.C. Marian Taylor Dickens and Timothy Hayes Taylor

GARY GLENNELL WATLINGTON DECEMBER 29, 1966–JULY 12, 2009 The Rev. Gary Glennell Watlington was born on Dec. 29, 1966, in Graham, North Carolina to Minnie Ellison Watlington and Floyd Lindsay Watlington. One of four brothers–Donnell, Dwayne, and Eric–he grew up in Caswell County, graduated from Bartlett Yancey High School in 1985, and went to work at Accucote in Graham in November 1988. On July 4, 1987, “Gary,” as he was fondly called, and his high school sweetheart, Doris Ann Lynn, were married. Then along came his other two girls. Darneisha “Neecie” LeAnn was born on Aug. 21, 1989, followed by Kristen Lee on Aug. 4, 1992. The Rev. Watlington attended St. Moriah Holiness Church as a child and became a member of Garrett’s Grove United Methodist Church in 1989. He was called into the ministry in 2002 under the pastorate of the Rev. Ronald Weatherford. He went to licensing school and was licensed as a local pastor in 2006. That same year he was appointed as associate pastor of Garrett’s Grove and Camp Springs United Methodist Churches by the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church where he served faithfully for three years under the pastorate of Jeanette Hayes. He had been attending Alamance Community College in pursuit of an associate degree in business, with the hopes of transferring to Greensboro College in Greensboro, and eventually attending Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury, in the process toward becoming an elder in The United Methodist Church. Gary loved preaching and he loved to sing. He was well known for both. Those who knew Gary well say at fi rst that he “could not carry a tune in a bucket,” but once he started singing, there was no stopping him. Gary preached and sang at many area churches in North Carolina and Danville, Virginia–at song festivals, programs, and anniversaries. In particular, he sang with the Camp Springs Male Chorus, Eric and the Spiritual MG’s (his brother’s group), and the Garrett’s Grove Male Chorus “plus two and a half” (the men, his two girls and his little nephew Kris on the drums). On Sunday evening, July 12, 2009, the Rev. Watlington was killed in a motorcycle accident less than a mile from his home. His funeral was held at Garrett’s Grove United Methodist Church, 191 High Rock Road, Gibsonville, on Thursday, July 16, 2009, with the burial following in the church cemetery. His friendly laugh, catchy smile, and his true love and gift of singing will always be remembered. Ironically, after Gary’s death, one of his licensing school classmates discovered and distributed a song he recorded of Gary at a session at licensing school–“I’m Going on a Long, Long Journey Afterwhile.” Jeanette Hayes 310 Western North Carolina Conference BILLY MAC WHITESIDE JULY 6, 1933-FEBRUARY 1, 2010 Billy Mac Whiteside was born July 6, 1933, the third of four children born to Robert M. and Willie B. Howell Whiteside, in Pineville, N.C. The family later purchased a farm in Lower Providence in Mecklenburg County, N.C., where Billy grew up. He was well known in the area as he delivered milk for his father’s dairy farm. Billy graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in May, 1951. Billy attended Brevard College, Brevard, N.C., from 1951 to 1953. He then transferred to High Point College, High Point, N.C., and graduated in June 1955, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in religious education. While at High Point College, Billy met Bernice L. White from Elizabeth City, N.C., while she attended and graduated from Meredith College in June of 1954. Billy and Bernice married Aug. 28, 1955. The couple moved to Atlanta, Ga., where Billy attended the Candler School of Theology, Emory University. He graduated in December 1957, with a D.B. degree in theology (later upgraded to M.Div.). They returned to North Carolina where Billy served pastorates in The United Methodist Church at Brooks Cross Roads and the Crabtree UMC near Waynesville, N.C. While in their early ministry Bill and Bernice had two sons, Bill Michael, 1958, and Barry Dwayne, 1962. It was at this time during the time of the Cuban Crisis and the Berlin Buildup, and Billy was encouraged to enter the military chaplaincy by the former Retired Chief of Navy Chaplains, Chaplain (Rear Admiral) Thomas. On April 27, 1961, Billy entered the U.S. Army chaplaincy for a three-year obligation. This three-year commitment became a 30-year Army chaplain ministry, where Billy retired with the rank of Colonel on April 30, 1991. He and his family were stationed on many installations throughout America, including Ft. Eustis, Va.; Ft. Sloccum, N.Y.; Miami/Homestead Air Force Base, Fla.; Ft. Hamilton, N.Y.; Ft. George G. Mead, Md., Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.; Ft. Leavenworth, Kan.; and Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala. Overseas tours included Germany and Ethiopia, as well as unaccompanied tours to Vietnam (1967–1968) and the Republic of Korea (1980–1981). It was during his tour in Vietnam that Billy’s faith in God was tested. Seeing casualties among young men to whom he had recently served the sacrament of communion, Billy experienced anger at God and doubted his abilities as a chaplain. It was through support from the young soldiers, wise counsel from an old chaplain friend, continued study and prayer, and love from family that led him on the path to restore and deepen his faith. Upon completing his clinical pastoral internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Billy was assigned as chaplain at the U.S. Disciplinary Barrack, in Ft. Leavenworth, the military’s only maximum security facility. His ministry there was for the purpose of developing a holistic pastoral care program based on the medical model. The program was extremely successful, receiving many requests from federal and state confi nement facilities to be used as a model for their facility. Billy’s research and development lead to his Master of Arts degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City in December 1983. While serving at Ft. Leavenworth, Billy also became a member of the Kansas Association for Marriage and Family Therapists. After retirement from the Army, Billy did not stay “retired.” Billy took a pastoral assignment with the Middle Tennessee Methodist Hospital in Winchester, Tenn. Soon after he was asked to join and develop a pastoral care facility at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Shawnee, Kan. He became a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist and established a private practice in Leavenworth, Kan. He also fi lled in when requested for local pastorates in Lansing, Kansas, and DeSoto, Kansas. He received his Doctor of Ministry degree on May 23, 1997, from St. Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, Mo. Billy also served as contract chaplain at the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, Kan., from 1997 to 2007. He was active in the Leavenworth Rotary Club. Billy enjoyed a round of golf as often as possible with his golfi ng partners–retired military personnel and chaplains. As a member of the Leavenworth Rotary, he was instrumental in fund raising to give scholarships to graduating high school students, to send Rotary volunteers to underdeveloped countries to build fresh water wells, and to assist local food banks and charitable organizations. Billy also extended help to local area churches in Leavenworth and the Kansas City area to raise funds for various needs, including building projects. Throughout his ministry and military career, Billy supported and was supported by a close and caring family. He and Bernice enjoyed 54 years of loving marriage that was full of laughter. Like many military families Billy, Bernice, and their sons have a special closeness gained from multiple location moves. Somehow Billy’s plans for family activities turned into family adventures that now are great family memories. He liked nothing more than the chance to become a kid again with each of his three grandchildren; Jonah, Jordan, and Eric. Billy lived life to the fullest until his cancer diagnosis in December 2009. He died on Feb. 1, 2010, at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Shawnee, Kan. Funeral services were held at the R.L. Leintz Funeral Home in Leavenworth, Kan., followed by burial with full military honors at the Leavenworth National Cemetery. Bill Michael Whiteside ZENO CLETUS WRIGHT APRIL 1, 1928–SEPTEMBER 16, 2009 Born on April’s Fool’s Day in 1928, in Cleveland County, Zeno Wright, the humble son of Buford Cletus Wright and Lula Alice Davis Wright, served The United Methodist Church for 36 years. Zeno attended Brevard College and the Course of Study at Duke. The numbers of appointments are few for the number of years served. These appointments include: Rosman United Methodist Church (1962–1966), Fairfi eld-Randolph Hills (1966–1971), Friendship-Shady Grove Charge (1971–1980), Polkville-Rehobeth Charge (1980–1991). He retired in 1991, but then served the Upper Cleveland Charge (1991–2006). Zeno married the “love of his life,” Flora Elaine Garver, on Aug. 4, 1945. This marriage of 65 years to a woman he considered the “perfect preacher’s wife” ended on Sept. 16, 2009 at Hospice in Shelby, where Zeno and Elaine were roommates. Elaine followed him to his heavenly appointment on Sept. 21, 2009. Their beloved family was going through two valleys at the same time. Family and extended family were always important to Zeno and Elaine, thus they spent as much time as possible with daughters, Karen Wray and Kathy Stillwell and husband Nowell of Hickory. Their extended family included Kimberly Powell–Bailey and husband Mark of Mebane, and Bradley Stillwell and fi ancée, Jessica Cook of Hickory. 2010 journal 311

Zeno did many secret acts of kindness. As an Associate Chaplain for Frye Regional Medical Center and Cleveland Regional Medical, and while serving in the U.S. Air Force, Zeno depicted this servant leader’s heart for others. He won the Award for Outstanding Preacher in the Gastonia District. The Fellowship Hall at Polkville United Methodist Church is dedicated to Elaine and Zeno Wright. This preacher loved preaching so much that he didn’t take vacations and he was so spiritual that the presence of the Holy Spirit fi lled the pulpit when he preached! The ripples of Zeno’s life go on in his family, in other ministers, and in the conference. The Rev. Eddie Benfi eld, the Rev. David Duncan, the Rev. Delores Queen, and I (and probably many more of which I don’t even know), are living testimonies of his broad reaching infl uence. The Rev. Zeno Wright began each worship service with these words: “Jesus thou joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, thou light of men, From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfi lled to thee again.” –Bernard of Clairvauz, 12th century Zeno’s funeral was held at Polkville United Methodist with the Rev. David Duncan, the Rev. James L. Pyatt, and the Rev. Priscilla Walker offi ciating. Burial followed in Rose Hill Memorial Park in Fallston, North Carolina. In closing, I share the words Zeno Wright asked to be read at his funeral: “And when the time of trial comes, and all in earth and heaven is dark and even God’s love seems dim: What is there ever left to cling to but this will of the willing heart, a God-given, God-ward bending ill, which says amidst the most solemn and perplexing vicissitudes of life: “Father, I know that all my life is portioned out for me; the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see; I ask thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing thee. –Henry Drummond Priscilla B. Walker 312 Western North Carolina Conference G.
