Thank you! After five years away from hands-on editing of the Journal, I’m back! I’ll admit that my detail- oriented side finds a certain amount of pleasure in the task of collecting, coordinating, and curating the various reports and data that make up our yearly record of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Confer- ence’s members and ministry. But it’s by no means a solitary process. I am indebted to the many people who supplied information for this Journal, in particular the section editors. It is always a joy to work with the amazing administrative assistants who guide the work of our district offices: Linda Grund-Clampit, Sandy Lofy, Kay Burdick, and Terri Bartish. And as usual, Greg Nelson has provided excellent support, both moral and technical. As Editor of the Journal, I accept responsibility for the final product. Corrections are welcome— please direct them to me at [email protected]. To update information in the directories, please contact your district office. Laura Jaquith Bartlett, Conference Secretary Journal Editor

The logo for Annual Conference 2017 is built around these words of Jesus from Luke’s Gospel (10:26-28), where he defines a fully engaged love of God and neighbor as the key to abundant life. Jesus prioritizes this summation of the law in a way that suggests that we cannot accomplish the love of one without the other. The colored quadrants are intended to symbolize the four demands of the Shema, to love God with all of our heart, being, strength, and mind.

Our logo also incorporates a visual element from Dorotheus of Gaza, a 6th century Christian monk and abbot. Dorotheus asked people to “imagine that the world is a circle, that God is the center, and that the radii (like spokes on a wheel) are the different ways human beings live.” As we move closer to God, we also move closer to others who live, walk and think differently. As we intentionally move closer to these, our neighbors, we also move closer to God. The arrows on the circle are intended to represent people on the journey oriented toward God and ultimately heading toward one another as well.

Jesse Love, Graphic Designer & Print Manager for the Pacific Northwest Conference, served as the primary designer working to incorporate these ideas into a coherent and flexible visual image. Greg Nelson designed this year’s Journal cover, using Jesse’s logo.

Applicants must be ordained clergy who have been a member in full connection for six (6) years or an associate member of the annual conference for eight (8) years. Study/travel leave may be up to three (3) months long, but leave beyond two months will be considered as vacation. The full salary of the candidate for the three-month period shall be paid by the local church or institution being served. MEF funds shall provide the candidate a stipend for tuition or travel in the amount of up to $1,250. MEF funds may also pay the cost of supplying an interim minister in the clergyperson’s absence, up to $1250 per month for two months, based on the local need. The third month is considered vacation and the responsibility of the local church. The selection of an interim minister and housing is the responsibility of the clergyperson, local congregation and the District Superintendent. (The Board of Ordained Ministry has guidelines for the use of the parsonage or the pastor’s own home.)

To apply for financial assistance for study/travel leave: The applicant should make a written application to BOM through its Scholarship Officer, which includes a description of the study or travel program and your goals. The applicant should obtain written approval of both the Cabinet (through the applicant’s District Superintendent) and the local church through action by the Church Council (or equivalent). The education and renewal value of the programs and years of service in the Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference will be considered in approving applications. Higher priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received MEF assistance.

II. Through a special gift from the Oregon-Idaho Conference Board of Pensions, clergypersons may apply for financial assistance for renewal leave. Renewal leave is intended to foster clergy well-being and longevity in ministry. Applicants must be ordained clergy who have been a member in full connection for six (6) years or an associate member of the annual conference for eight (8) years.

Unlike the study/travel leave grants, there is not an expectation of continuing education/professional development being part of this leave. This is intended to facilitate and support clergy well-being.

To apply for financial assistance for renewal leave: Applicants should send written application, including plans for the leave and how the funds would be used, to the MEF Scholarship Officer. The applicant’s District Superintendent must also make written recommendation, including reasons why renewal leave is needed.

Candidates for Deacons in Full Connection Certified Candidates for Deacon, who do not pursue full time theological study, will be eligible for assistance in completing Foundational Studies with grant being prorated on the basis of a $1,000 grant depending on the course load taken (e.g. $500 per semester, $340 per quarter).

A candidate shall be eligible for the award only once and will be asked to repay it without interest should the candidate fail to complete seminary and not enter the ministry. Nominations for the award shall be submitted to the Scholarship Officer of the Board byApril 1st, and the award will be announced at Annual Conference.

Jasa Scholarship Awards – Two or more Jasa awards may be presented each year. Applications are available through the Board of Ordained Ministry’s Scholarship Officer. Unlike the Coe Scholarship, certified candidates for Deacon in Full Connection are encouraged to apply for Jasa awards.

Each year, unused earnings for Coe/Jasa Funds will be reinvested in the principle of the respective fund, and/ or set aside to be used for scholarships in the coming years. How much is carried over as scholarship money and how much is reinvested each year is at the discretion of the Board at the recommendation of the Scholarship Officer.

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY For Conference & District Events of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church

INTRODUCTION Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will find the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive. But, we know that abuse occurs in churches, large and small, urban and rural. It is a problem, which cuts across all economic, cultural, and racial lines. In April 1996, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in the church. It was renewed by the 2004 General Conference (Resolution 65, “Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in Churches, pg. 201, 2004 Book of Resolutions). As Christians we must take our responsibilities to our children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. While we may not be able to completely prevent abuse in every situation, it is possible for us to greatly reduce the risk by following a policy of prevention. We are responsible to create an environment of safe sanctuary for children, youth and vulnerable adults, and those who work with them. Thus we establish this Abuse Prevention Policy to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the safety of all our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

PURPOSE It is the purpose of this policy to 1) protect from abuse the children, youth, and vulnerable adults that participate in church activities, and 2) protect our staff, both paid and volunteer, from unfounded and/ or malicious allegations of abuse through a comprehensive plan that includes: screening, training, supervision, reporting procedures, and a response plan.

SCOPE This policy shall be applicable to all Conference and District activities or events involving children, youth, and vulnerable adults within ministry settings of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.

DEFINITIONS • Abuse: Intentional negligent or reckless treatment by a volunteer or staff person that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. Conference Policies 29

Child Abuse – an act committed by a parent, care giver or person in a position of trust which is not accidental and which harms or threatens a child’s physical or mental health or a child’s welfare. Physical Abuse – When an adult injures a child other by accident, including, assault, shaking, slapping, burning, scalding, kicking, and strangling. Sexual Abuse – Sexual contact between an adult or other significantly older, more powerful person and a child, youth, and vulnerable adult. Includes behavior such as inappropriate verbal stimulation, taking or showing sexually explicit photos of or to a child, or exposing a child to pornography or adult sexual activity. Emotional Abuse – verbal assault or emotional cruelty that effects a child’s self esteem. • Adult: a person 18 years old or older. • Activities: any activity or programs in which children, youth, or vulnerable adults are under supervision of staff persons or volunteers. • Background Checks: Researching references and records for indications of past or potential abusive and/or criminal activity. • Child: person from birth until they turn 12 years old. • Conference: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. • District: The level of church organization between the Conference and the local church. There are five Districts in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference; Central, Eastern, Metropolitan, Southern, and Western. • Ministry setting: (To be defined) • Person-in-Charge (PIC): Staff person or volunteer who is the person responsible for the event or activity. • Staff person: any person employed by the Conference or District that is responsible for activities involving children, youth, or vulnerable adults. • Volunteer: a person who assists in conducting activities under the supervision of person(s) in charge. • Vulnerable Adults: any person 18 years of age or older with diminished physical, mental, or emotional capacities. • We: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. • Youth: any person 12 years old to his/her 18th birthday.

SCREENING PROCEDURES Careful screening can be important to the prevention of abuse. It provides some assurance that the most reliable, committed and experienced staff and volunteers are in place for every program that involves children, youth, and vulnerable adults. The following are the MINIMUM standards: 1. All adults, volunteer or staff persons, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults shall be required to complete the “Voluntary Disclosure” form. 2. Minimum background screenings shall include:

a) Reference checks from Voluntary Disclosure form. b) Review of the Oregon and Idaho lists of sexual offenders or State or National criminal background checks. 3. The policy shall be implemented in the following manner: a) All staff persons and volunteers, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults will submit to the screening procedures. b) The screening procedure shall be repeated every five years. c) The person in charge of the event and/or their designee is responsible for review and approving each application before a person’s service begins. d) All records are confidential and will be maintained for a period of at least five years. 30 Conference Policies

SUPERVISION Competent and trained staff and volunteers are important to any event. The procedures described below are designed to reduce the possibility of abuse to children, youth and vulnerable adults, and to protect staff persons and volunteers from unfounded accusations.

The following are MINIMUM standards and each event may adopt more stringent requirements if necessary. 1. Training is required for all persons having direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults. Training shall include an annual orientation that includes information about this Policy, supervision of children, youth, and vulnerable adults, and identification and reporting of abuse. 2. All children, youth, and vulnerable adults will be supervised by adults. No adult will be alone with any one child, youth or vulnerable adult out of sight of others. 3. No person shall supervise any group of children or youth unless he/she is AT LEAST 5 years older than the children or youth.

REPORTING Once an incident of abuse is recognized, it is crucial that it be dealt with speedily and in a clearly outlined manner. The adult who observes or hears of an alleged abuse shall: 1. Assure the safety of the victim. Take whatever the victim says very seriously. Make sure that the victim is in a safe place and watched over. Do not confront the accused abuser with anger or hostility but immediately remove him/ her from further involvement with children and youth until the matter can be investigated. Notify the proper authorities. 2. If there is a situation of immediate risk call the police at 911, otherwise follow the procedure as listed below: a) Report the incident immediately to the Person-in-Charge (PIC) of the event or activity in which the incident occurred. b) The PIC shall: i) Ascertain the details needed to make an accurate report. This report must be made within 24 hours. The report should include the following information if obtainable: • The name, address, age and sex of the alleged victim; • The name and address of the alleged victim’s parents or other person responsible for his/her care; • The nature and extent of the alleged abuse or neglect; • Any evidence of previously known or suspected abuse or neglect of the alleged victim or their siblings; • The name, address and relationship, if known, of the person who is alleged to have perpetrated the abuse or neglect; and • Any other information known to the person making the report that would be helpful to the investigation of the alleged abuse. ii) Contact the appropriate State or law enforcement agency as soon as possible to file the abuse report and provide the aforementioned information and follow the instructions of the agency. iii) Notify one of those trained and designated by the Conference to respond to reports of abuse as listed in the Crisis Communications Plan. The alleged perpetrators of the abuse will be required to refrain from all events involving children, youth and vulnerable adults until the incident report is resolved. In any removal of a person from any activities, care must be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is being conducted. RESPONSE PLAN • A quick, compassionate and unified response to an alleged incident of abuse is expected. All allegations will be taken seriously. In all cases of reported or observed abuse in an activity, the entire staff of that activity shall be at the service of all official investigating agencies. Conference Policies 31

• Follow the procedures outlined in the Crisis Communications Plan, When a Crisis Strikes…Are You Ready? • Pastoral support shall be available and offered to all persons involved with the incident.

TRAINING The Conference shall develop and implement training and orientation procedures for persons in leadership who work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults in local ministry settings within the Annual Conference. Training shall include but is not limited to this policy and its related procedures.

POLICY REVIEW

All abuse prevention policies will be reviewed annually.

CONCLUSION In all of our ministries we are committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child, youth, and vulnerable adult is “surrounded by steadfast love…established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II,United Methodist Hymnal, pg 44). This policy and associated procedures are effective as of July 1, 2008. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis in a manner determined by the Conference Leadership Team. Modifications will be made subject to the approval of the Conference Leadership Team. All such modifications will be promptly conveyed in writing to all persons affected by the modification.

Adopted June 2008

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY Minimum Standards for Abuse Prevention Policies of Local Ministry Settings

All local ministry settings of the annual conference shall have an Abuse Prevention (aka “Safe Sanctuaries”) Policy. All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s official Safe Sanctuaries policy, unless approval for an alternative policy is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s office. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s office, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed policy [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the policy submitted or instructions to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s official Safe Sanctuaries policy. Ministry settings are already required to provide their Safe Sanctuaries policy to the District Superintendent. The District Superintendents or their designees with support through the Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator will continue to review Safe Sanctuaries policies. If the policy submitted does not comply with minimum standards of legal requirements, the ministry will be contacted to either update their policy or to use the Template, whichever would more simply help reach the goals of compliance and coherence. All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to use the following forms provided on the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference website: 32 Conference Policies

1. Voluntary Disclosure Form, 2. Waiver and Release, and 3. Incident Report; unless approval for use of alternative forms is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s office. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s office, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed form [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the form submitted or instructions to use the form provided on the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference website.

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE RISK REDUCTION AND PREVENTION POLICY

[Name of Ministry]

INTRODUCTION DO NOT COPY ITALICIZED WORDS IN THIS DOCUMENT. FOR EXAMPLE DO NOT COPY THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE: This section is an opportunity to contain opening comments about concerns for and commitment to, the safety of our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.1

PURPOSE AND SCOPE Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will find the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive. But, we know that abuse occurs in churches, large and small, urban and rural. It is a reality which cuts across all economic, cultural, and racial lines. In April 1996, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in the church. It was renewed by the 2004 General Conference (Resolution 65, “Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in Churches, pg. 201, 2004 Book of Resolutions). As Christians we must take our responsibilities to our children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. While policies alone may not be able to completely prevent all harm, sexual abuse can be prevented. We as the people of [Name of Ministry] are dedicated to preventing child abuse within our ministry and within our community.

1 We encourage congregations to share in a process that seeks scriptural and/or denominational context in recognizing that: God cares for all. God suffers when children youth, and vulnerable adults suffer, The United Methodist Church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God. As a congregation, [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulneralbe and support for survivors of sexual violence. This SAFE SANCTUARIES: ABUSE RISK REDUCTION AND PREVENTION POLICY is a core missional statement of this congregaiton. This section is an opportunity to highlight the above statements or similar ones coming out of this process. Conference Policies 33 DEFINITIONS • Abuse: intentional, negligent, or reckless behavior by a volunteer or staff person that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. Abuse takes many forms and includes, but is not limited to: physical abuse, neglect, self-neglect, abandonment, verbal and emotional abuse, financial exploitation, sexual abuse, involuntary seclusion, and wrongful restraint.2 • Child Abuse: an act committed by a stranger, a parent, a caregiver, or a person in a position of trust, which is not accidental and which harms of threatens a child’s physical or mental health or a child’s welfare.3 • Physical Abuse: when an adult infures a child other than by accident; including, but not limited to: assault, battery, shaking, slapping, burning, scalding, kicking and strangling. • Sexual Abuse:4 1. any sexual contact or sexually explicit behavior initiated by an adult, youth or child toward a child; 2. any sexual contact or sexually explicit sexual behavior initiated by an adult toward a youth; 3. any nonconsensual sexual contact or nonconsensual sexually explicit behavior initiated by a youth toward another youth including, but not limited to sexual harassment and any sexual behavior by a youth toward another youth younger than 14 and where the initiating youth is three years older; 4. any sexual contact by anyone toward a vulnerable adult, or sexually explicity behavior by anyone toward a vulnerable adult where the vulnerable adult is unable to provide meaningful consent. • Emotional Abuse: verbal assault or emotional cruelty. • Adult: a person 18 years old or older. • Activities: any activity or programs in which children, youth, or vulnerable adults are under supervision of staff persons or volunteers. • Background Checks: researching references and records for indications of past or potential abusive and/or criminal activity. • Child: person from birth until they turn 12 years old. • Conference: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. • Person-in-Charge [hereinafter, PIC]: staff person or volunteer who is the person responsible for the event or activity. • Prevention and Risk Reduction: Risk Reduction are those actions taken to lessen opportunity for sexual assault. Most policies focus exclusively on risk reduction, and do very little to prevent sexual abuse in the broader community. [Name of Ministry] is committed not only to lessening risk within congregational facilities and the activities, but [Name of Ministry] is also committed to Prevention of abuse by transformational ministry to survivors, justice and equity ministry, and social change.5 [Name of Ministry] recognizes that understanding the difference between Prevention and Risk Reduction is an important step in developing effective Prevention strategy.6 2 Wrongful restraint means the use of physical (i.e. tying, holding) or chemical (i.e. sedation) means to limit the movement of an adult for the convenience or discipline of a caregiver. 3 Harm includes taking a child into a dangerous place. In OR, for example, abuse is present when permitting a child to enter or remain in a place where methamphetamines are being manufactured. See ORS 163.537 4 Generally, in sexual abuse, a significantly older, more powerful person initiates the behavior. However plase note that prevention also includes preventing peer abuse, inluding behavior such as inappropriate words or gestures, taking or showing sexually explicity photos of or to a child or youth, or exposing a child or youth to pornography or adult sexual activity. Abuse also occurs in similar situations regarding vulnerable adults where meaningful consent is unlikely. 5 Many professionals who work in the field understand Prevention as applied in three phases: Primary, Second- ary and Tertiary Prevention of Sexual Abuse/Assault. Priary prevention engages everyone to keep sexual violence from happening. See the Center for Disease Control, Sexual Violence Prevention: Beginning the Dialogue, page 3 or link at http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/svprevention-a.pdf 6 Primary prevention work is cultural change consistent with the Gospel: God loves each person as God’s own. 34 Conference Policies • Sexual Contact: means any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person or causing such person to touch the sexual or other intimate parts of the actor for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of either party. Regarding children, youth, and vulnerable adults, Sexual Contact herein includes, but is not limited to kissing, hugging, massaging, rubbing, blowing on or breathing on, and other touching with any intent by anyone to sexually around any person. [Name of Ministry] reserves the right to evaluate such behaviors and provide guil- delines to prevent abuse and protect persons. • Sexually Explicit Behavior: means actual or simulated behavior and remains a common form of harassment and abuse. It includes but is not limited to: words, gestures, sexting and media repre- sentations of sexual activity, jokes, nudity or partial nudity, and other behaviors. • Staff person: any person employed by the local ministry setting that is responsible for activities involving children, youth, or vulnerable adults. • Volunteer: a person who assists in conducting activities under the supervision of person(s) in charge. • Vulnerable Adults: any persons over the age of 18 who possesses a physical or mental disability or dysfunction that impairs the individual’s ability to provide adequately for the individual’s own care without assistance, including but not limited to: a) the inability to independently or effectively communicate, and/or b) the ability to independently remove oneself from a situation, location or another’s presence, and/or c) the inability to comprehend initiation or perpetration of abusive sexual behavior or physical mistreatment upon the individual’s person by another, and/ or d) because of the dysfunction or infirmity, the individual has an impaired ability to protect the individual’s self from maltreatment. • We: [Name of Ministry] • Youth: any person 12 years old to his/her 18th birthday. PROHIBITION OF ABUSE AT [Name of Ministry] [Name of Ministry] prohibits abuse as defined herein in all forms by anyone who is: 1. within the facilities of [Name of Ministry]; 2. at any and all events sponsored by [Name of Ministry]; 3. a staff member of [Name of Ministry] 4. a member of [Name of Ministry]; 5. a contractor working on behalf of [Name of Ministry]; 6. a member of a group which leases or uses the name, facility, or the ministries of [Name of Ministry].

[Name of Ministry] supports all persons connected to the ministry and the surrounding community in seeking to engage in healthy relationships, including healthy parent-child and healthy intimate partner relationships. Further, [Name of Ministry] is committed to equipping all persons connected to the ministry and the surrounding community to be aware of, to prevent, and to resist abusive behavior in all forms through prayer, spiritual growth, words, and action.

Often referred to as “moving upstream,” primary prevention directs us “upstream” to locate the place where the potential for victimization is created through social inequity. This concept is captured in the “Three Sisters” story, as told by Lisa Brunner from the Sacred Spirits First Nations Coalition’s “Three Sisters” story, recorded by Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence in 2012 and located at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1iIyvmXQ3JI Each sister represents a stage of prevention: Primary (preventing the violence before it occurs), Secondary (responding in the crisis including bystander intervention); and Tertiary (addressing the longer term impacts of the violence and supporting survivors through trauma). [Adapted from “Primary Prevention,” a “paper” of the Oregon Sexual Assault task Force, 2014]. Conference Policies 35 ABUSE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION AT [Name of Ministry] 1.

Paid staff who are required to attend these trainings should be compensated for their time.10 7 Events will be planned so that issues covered will include diverse and pertinent topics to equip [Name of Min- istry] to address challenges in prevention strategy. Topics may include: physical plant issues, issues related to various age groups, issues concerning abuse prevention and disabled persons, changes in laws, and other issues. 8 Such opportunities may take the form of an event or events in [Name of Ministry], or combined with other churches, or on through the District or Annual Conference. 9 Representation of [Name of Ministry] includes speaking or writing on behalf of the ministry to media sources; it may also include serving as chairperson for some committees or projects. 10 This training may be incorporated in the educational opportunity set forth in the section above, entitled, “STANDARDS FOR ABUSE AWAREMENSS AND PREVENTION,” under section #2, but must include some 36 Conference Policies

2. Our standard practice is that all children, youth, and vulnerable adults will be supervised by at least 2 unrelated adults and that no adult will be alone with children, youth, or vulnerable adult(s) out of sight of other adults.11 The minimum standard is an open space (open door, window, etc) such that activities can be observed and an adult who is assigned to periodically observe the activities. 3. No person shall supervise any age group of children or youth unless he/she is AT LEAST 5 years older than the children or youth. 4. The PIC [see Definitions] will be responsible for adherence to the Supervision requirements herein. REPORTING AND RESPONSE TO INCIDENT/ALLEGATION 1. [Name of Ministry] requires immediate and specific response to allegations of abuse: a) within the facilities of [Name of Ministry]; or b) at any and all events sponsored by [Name of Ministry]; or c) if the adult who observed the abuse is a current staff member of [Name of Ministry]. 2. Any adult who observes or hears of alleged abuse which falls under conditions described herein [see number 1, a, b, or c, immediately above] shall:12 a) Assure the safety of the victim. i) Whatever the victim says is to be taken very seriously. ii) Make sure that the victim is in a safe place and watched over. iii) Do not confront the accused abuser with anger or hostility but immediately remove him/ her from further involvement with children and youth until the matter can be investigated. b) Call the police at 911, if there is a situation of immediate risk. c) Report the incident immediately to the pastor (unless implicated in the allegation or unavailable) and/or the Person in Charge (unless implicated in the allegation). Contact the appropriate authorities (if the adult witness is designated as a “mandated or mandatory reporter” by state or federal law).13 Primary Prevention training and a reveiw of this policy. 11 Bathroom breaks with children old enough to manage on their own, youth, and vulnerable adults are to be coordinated in such a way that an adult checks the bathroom, then leaves and stands outside as children, youth or vulnerable adults of the same sex use the facility. No adult is to enter during the time the facility is in use unless there are clear indications of an emergency. For babies and younger children, two unrelated adults need to be present when diapers are being changed or at anytime a child needs to have clothes changed. 12 Falsely filed, mailicious reports are illegal. However, unless the report is known beyond any doubt to be false, the process of reporting is required by [Name of Ministry]. Idaho law offers protection for good faith reporters of child abuse: “Any person who has reason to believe that a child has been abused, abandoned, or neglected and, acting upon that belief, makes a report of abuse, abandonment, or neglect as required by the reporting laws, shall have immunity from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed. Any such participant shall have the same immunity with respect to participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from such report. Any person who reports in bad faith or with malice shall not be protected by this section.” Idaho Code § 16-1606 Similarly, Oregon Law states: “Anyone participating in good faith in making a report of child abuse and who has reasonable grounds for the making thereof shall have immunity from any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with respect to the making or content of such report. Any such participant shall have the same immunity with respect to participating in any judicial proceeding resulting from such report.” Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. §419B.025 13 Each state has a class of individuals who must report child abuse to the authorities if they are aware of it. Here, [Name of Ministry] is reminding those responsible for reporting to follow state law. If you are unsure, please find your state requirements at https://www.rainn.org/public-policy/laws-in-your-state. This website is provided by RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. At the time of this writing, Oregon law includes: Medical personnel: Physicians, psychiatrists, surgeons, residents, interns, dentists, dentist hygienists, medical examiners, pathologists, osteopaths, coroners, Christian Science practitioners, chiropractors, podiatrists, Conference Policies 37

3. The pastor or designee shall: a) Ascertain the general details needed to make an accurate report. b) Within 24 hours, write an incident report. The report should include the following information, if obtainable:14 (1) The name, address, age and sex of the alleged victim; (2) The name and address of the alleged victim’s parents or other person responsible for his/her care; (3) The nature and extent of the alleged abuse or neglect; (4) Any evidence of previously known or suspected abuse or neglect of the alleged victim or their siblings; (5) The name, address and relationship, if known, of the person who is alleged to have perpetrated the abuse or neglect; and (6) Any other information known to the person making the report that would be helpful to the investigation of the alleged abuse. c) Contact the appropriate State or law enforcement agency as soon as possible to file the abuse report and provide the aforementioned information and follow the instructions of the agency. d) Report the suspected child abuse to the child’s family (unless implicated in the allegation) and any agencies required by law. e) Report the suspected abuse to a District Superintendent of the Annual Conference within 24 hours of the initial report. 4. The alleged perpetrators of the abuse are to be excluded from future events involving children, youth and vulnerable adults until the incident report is resolved. In any removal of a person from any activities, care must be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is being conducted. POLICY REVIEW AND DISTRICT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS This abuse prevention policy will be reviewed annually at the charge or church conference.

This law applies to everyone. Anyone who suspects child abuse, neglect, or abandonment should make a child protection report. A report should be made if you see evidence of physical abuse or neglect of a child.” http://211.idaho.gov/elibrary/ childabuse.html 14 [Name of Ministry] will file the appropriate report. However, under no circumstances will staff or volunteers will take it upon themselves to launch an investigation outside of the general inquiry needed to write an incident report.

Sexual Ethics Policy For Clergy1 of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Statement of Policy: Clergy and employees of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church shall not engage in sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment.

Theological Foundation2 The 2004 Book of Discipline states in ¶161(G) the following. “We recognize that sexuality is God’s good gift to all persons. We believe persons may be fully human only when that gift is acknowledged and affirmed by themselves, the church, and society. We call all persons to the disciplined, responsible fulfillment of themselves, others, and society in the stewardship of this gift. We reject all sexual expressions that damage or destroy the humanity God has given us as birthright, and we affirm only that sexual expression that enhances that same humanity. We believe that sexual relations where one or both partners are exploitive, abusive, or promiscuous are beyond the parameters of acceptable Christian behavior and are ultimately destructive to individuals, families, and the social order.” Sexual misconduct involves a misuse of the gift of sexuality. Acts that should signify the intimacy of a committed relationship between equal partners instead are tainted with ambivalence, confusion, guilt and sometimes fear. Secrecy, which often accompanies such acts, only reinforces these feelings and further signals that there is something “wrong” with the relationship. Sexual misconduct within a ministerial relationship leaves the victim bearing a burden of trauma attached to their expression of sexuality. Victims are thus robbed of the joyous celebration of the sacredness and dignity of their sexuality. God entrusts the workers in the church with the responsibilities of sharing both Holy love and the Divine Word. Our sexual behavior, like any of our behaviors, must comply with the highest standards of a Christ- like life. We in the church are expected to live in covenant with each other and hold each other to those standards. By being speakers of the Truth, persons are offered freedom and redemption and God’s Grace can be employed for restoration of right relationships and alternative paths. Conference Policies 39 Definitions Clergy: Clergy membership of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference consists of Deacons and Elders in full connection, probationary members, associate members, affiliate members, local pastors and retired members within the meaning of ¶602.1 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Clergy Relationship - A clergy relationship exists between a clergy person and any other person (i) when the other person is a parishioner of a congregation to which that clergy person was previously or is currently appointed, (ii) when the other person is supervised by, is a colleague with or receives ministry from a clergy person serving in any function for which he or she was ordained, licensed, hired or approved by the Annual Conference or its representatives, (iii) when a clergy person uses the authority of the clergy office or role in establishing a relationship with the other person, and (iv) when the other person is a member of a community which recognizes the authority of the clergy person as a person in ministry (i.e. appointments beyond the local church and honorable location, retirement, leaves of absence and other situations in which a clergy person serves a community other than a local congregation). Clergy Sexual Misconduct: Clergy sexual misconduct occurs whenever a clergy person initiates or allows any sexual contact or behavior with a person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship and includes, but is not limited to, sexual abuse and sexual harassment. This includes the chargeable offenses listed in ¶2702 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Clergy sexual misconduct must be understood primarily as an issue of the abuse of the power, trust, and status inherently present in any clergy relationship rather than an issue of the sexual morality of an individual clergy person. An inherent imbalance of power exists in any clergy relationship simply through the clergy role and totally separate from the clergy person’s character, personality and style of ministry. A similar imbalance of power can also exist when one clergy supervises another clergy. The same sacred trust inherent in ordination, consecration and licensing that makes effective ministry possible leaves persons in clergy relationships open and vulnerable. This predisposes those persons to believe that clergy shall act only in ways that will contribute to their well-being. The only appropriate and acceptable clergy response to the trust and power given to clergy through their role is ministry to the emotional, spiritual and temporal needs of those who come to them for help. A single clergy person may be involved in a romantic relationship within the parameters discussed in the following section. Clergy Sexual Misconduct In Context of Single Clergy Romantic Relationship- A single clergy person engaging in a romantic relationship with a single person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship does not necessarily commit sexual misconduct. The clergy person must be aware of the inherent imbalance of power that he or she has in this type of clergy relationship and take full responsibility for the related potential for harm. A single clergy person entering into this type of relationship bears the burden of demonstrating that there has been no exploitation in the relationship, in light of all relevant factors, including the personal history and mental status of the other person and the likelihood of an adverse impact on the person or on others. A clergy person should refrain from entering into a romantic relationship with a person with whom he or she currently has a pastoral counseling relationship. Should a pastoral counseling need arise for a person with whom the clergy person is romantically involved, that clergy person would make recommendations of two or three choices for pastoral or other professional counselors. Neither shall a single clergy person enter into a romantic relationship with a person whom he or she has had a pastoral counseling relationship for at least two years after cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling (consistent with the American Psychological Association Code of Ethics of 1992). The clergy person who engages in such activity after the two years following cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling relationship bears the burden of demonstration that there has been no exploitation, in light of all relevant factors, including the amount of time that has passed since the pastoral counseling 40 Conference Policies

relationship terminated, the nature and duration of the pastoral counseling, the circumstances of termination, the personal history of the counselee and others and any statements or actions made by the clergy person during the course of the pastoral counseling suggesting or inviting the possibility of a post-termination romantic relationship with the counselee. Sexual Abuse: The laws of both the States of Idaho and Oregon contain definitions of Sexual Abuse. These legal descriptions constitute the primary definitions of Sexual Abuse used in this policy. (See ORS 163 & Idaho Statues 18-1506). In Summary, Sexual Abuse is an actual or attempted sexual invasion of the body by force and without full consent. Sexual abuse is any of, but not limited to, the following: rape, sexual assault (a forced sexual act against one’s will), incest, indecent exposure, statutory rape, involuntary, voluntary, or deviant sexual intercourse with a child, promotion of prostitution, pornography with children, indecent assault, and aggravated indecent assault. “Sexual abuse” as used in this policy is not limited to those matters that are defined as crimes by the states of Idaho and Oregon, nor are any of the specific elements that make certain activities crimes under the criminal codes of the states of Idaho and Oregon necessary to prove sexual abuse for the purposes of this policy. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is any sexually related behavior that is unwanted, offensive or which fails to respect the rights of others. This behavior includes any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor or relationship and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment and/ or which is based on gender discrimination and/or perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating or coercive.

Sexual harassment can consist of a single intense or severe act or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts. There are many possible scenarios in sexual harassment situations. Each situation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Types of unwanted conduct that constitute sexual harassment as listed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission include (but are not limited to): 1. Unsolicited and unnecessary touching, pinching, patting or closeness. 2. Sexist remarks about a person’s body or clothing. 3. Sexually degrading words to describe a person. 4. Repeated propositions or explicit demands for sexual activity. 5. Sexually suggestive pictures or objects in the work place or gathering place for the group or activity. 6. Judging a person by looks or body instead of ability. 7. Unsolicited suggestive looks or leers. 8. Unsolicited attempt to fondle or kiss. 9. Unsolicited sexual comments, teasing or telling of jokes with sexual context. 10. Unsolicited letters, calls or materials of a sexual nature. 11. Offer to use influence in return for sexual favor. Pastoral Counseling - Pastoral counseling is the special dimension of ministry in which a clergy person utilizes a variety of counseling perspectives and techniques to help people handle their problems and crises and thus work toward healing. A pastoral counseling relationship begins at the point that the clergy person and the person or persons seeking pastoral counseling explicitly agree to enter into a relationship wherein is understood that the clergy person shall apply special skills to assist the other person or persons in resolution of problems or crises. NOTE: The above definitions are provided solely for the purpose of this Sexual Ethics Policy. The definitions do not create any chargeable offenses pursuant to The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. This policy does not sanction any conduct, which may constitute a chargeable offense pursuant to The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Conference Policies 41

Implementation Of Policy [This section updated June 2014] The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference commits itself to fast and expedient investigation of any charge of sexual misconduct within its churches and act in compliance with the current Book of Discipline. The Clergy Sexual Ethics policy is to be made available for all Clergy, church employees, and local churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference by annual publication in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Journal. District Superintendents are responsible for informing the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee members and members of the conference personnel committees of the Clergy Sexual Ethics policy. The following persons are required to complete an annual online knowledge test on the Sexual Ethics Policy: 1) all Oregon-Idaho clergy members (see definition of “clergy” above) and 2) all other clergy currently serving under appointment by the Oregon-Idaho Bishop. When requested, provisions will be made for the online test to be taken on paper and returned to the District Superintendent via the U.S. mail. The following persons are also required to attend one “Sexual Ethics, Abuse Prevention, and Healthy Boundaries” training offered by the Board of Ordained Ministry each quadrennium: all clergy currently appointed by the Oregon-Idaho bishop and/or serving in a ministerial role in an Oregon-Idaho ministry setting. The Board of Ordained Ministry shall determine if a non-Board of Ordained Ministry training is equivalent to the training promoted by the Board of Ordained Ministry. Considerations will include the training’s number of contact hours, content, and the qualifications of the workshop leader(s). Applications for exemption from the required annual online test and the once per quadrennium training requirement shall be made in writing to the District Superintendent. Letters of approval for exemption shall be kept on file in the District Superintendent’s office. The appropriate District Superintendent shall insure that lay persons assigned or appointed to ministry settings within Oregon-Idaho (including Lay Persons Assigned, Certified Lay Members, Diaconal Ministers, Deaconesses, and Home Missioners) receive appropriate sexual ethics training and are knowledgeable about the Oregon-Idaho Conference Sexual Ethics Policy and standards for preventing sexual misconduct, abuse, and harassment. Clergy members who do not meet the above requirements shall have a letter of non-compliance placed in their permanent file. Noncompliance may result in disciplinary action initiated by the District Superintendent. Knowledge or information about clergy sexual misconduct should be reported to a district superintendent or the bishop. When allegations of clergy sexual misconduct are made, every attempt shall be made to have two District Superintendents (preferably one male and one female) investigate the matter by meeting first with the accusing party, then with the accused. Where required, further information shall be gathered and a full report made to the Cabinet. The Bishop and the Cabinet shall make every effort to resolve allegations, complaints or charges in a timely manner and within the requirements of the current Book of Discipline. Further procedural recommendations are found in the appendix of this policy.

Making a Complaint A complaint about any clergy person in violation of this policy may be made to any District Superintendent, or the Bishop. A complaint against a clergy person that involves a child may also need to be reported to the proper authorities, but there are also laws that may prevent disclosure of information obtained during a confidential discussion between a clergy person and another person seeking spiritual guidance from the clergy person. All complaints shall be dealt with promptly and in confidence according to ¶362 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Persons who report misconduct or file a complaint must not be subject to retaliation. Persons who have knowledge of alleged misconduct are expected to come forward. Persons who knowingly give false information or reports shall be disciplined. All investigations of clergy shall be conducted according to ¶¶2701-2706 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church. 42 Conference Policies Appendices to Sexual Ethics Policy for Clergy of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church

Suggested Methods of Dealing with Allegations of a Clergy Sexual Misconduct

I. Incidents Involving Children under 18 Years Old (For the purposes of this section, sexual misconduct includes all forms of sexual misconduct except sexual harassment.) A. If any incident of sexual misconduct is known or suspected to have occurred involving clergy and a person under the age of 18, the nearest agency or authority charged with child protection must be contacted immediately and a report given. This report is mandatory as outlined by the Idaho Code § 16-1619(a), (c) (Supp. 1998) and Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 419B.010(1) & Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 419B.005(3)(h). However, there are also laws that may prevent disclosure of information obtained during a confidential discussion between a clergy person and another person seeking spiritual guidance from the clergy person. B. Do not confront or discuss the incident with the alleged perpetrator. C. Contact the District Superintendent or other church authority to inform them of the report that you have made. II.

CLERGY HOUSING STANDARDS AND POLICY

Responsibility for housing to be used by clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. A. The primary responsibility for clergy housing resides with the Administrative Board. One of the responsibilities, as defined by the 1984 Discipline, ¶256.c(f), is the “Review the recommendation of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee regarding the provision of adequate housing for the pastor(s), with attention to Annual Conference parsonage standards, and report the same to the Charge Conference for approval. It is the responsibility of the Administrative Board ot provide adequate housing for the pastor(s). Housing shall not be considered as part of compensation or remuneration, but shall be considered as a means provided for the local church, and for the convenience of the local church, to enable its ministry and the itinerant ministry of the Annual Conference.” See II below for church-owned parsonage standards, and III below for housing allowance standards. B. The Administrative Board may delegate administrative responsibility for clergy housing to the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee or to a Parsonage Committee. However, it is understood that ultimate responsibility resides with the Administrative Board. C. If a housing allowance is provided in lieu of a parsonage, it shall be reviewed annually prior to the adoption of the clergy salary package for the coming year by the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Provision shall be made for an adequate allowance. See III below. D. If a Parsonage Committee is established, membership is to be nominated by the Committee on Nominations and elected by the Charge Conference, or appointed by the Administrative Board. It is suggested that its membership include the following: One trustee selected by the Board of Trustees, one member of the Pastor-Parish Relationsh Committee, three members at large, the minister, the minister’s spouse. This committee, which should inspect the parsonage in April to determine if these housing recommendations are being maintained and refer to the Board of Trustees any recommendation for improvement, should meet at least annually, and should report to the Charge Conference. (Discipline, ¶267.2f, (4)) E. Parsonage recommendations and the definition of an adequate housing allowance (See IIIA) should apply to all ministers under appointment to a local church regardless of marital status or family size. F. If a church or charge does not have a parsonage, and no provision has been made to provide for a housing allowance, the church should either 1. Develop a plan to acquire a suitable parsonage with sufficient funding for the purchase, or 2. Provide for an adequate housing allowance for the minister(s). (See IIIA) G. During the annual Charge Conference the District Superintendent may ask if the housing allowance provided by the local church is in compliance with Conference standards. Each local church is to be provided with a copy of the Clergy Housing Standards and Policy.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICY II. Church-owned Parsonage Recommendations A. The House 1. Ownership and Privacy. It should be recognized that a minister occupying a church-owned parsonage is in a relationship similar to that of a renter, with the church being understood as the landlord. The Discipline, ¶267.2f(4) says, “The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by the church as a place of privacy for the pastor’s family.” 2. Suggested minimum number of rooms: 3 bedrooms, dining area, kitchen, one and one-half (preferably two) baths, with adequate closet space in each, linen storage, garage and/or carport for a minimum of two automobiles, and storage for lawn equipment. 3. Additional desirable features: family room, extra bedroom or study space, bookshelves, fireplace with glass door and tools (alternative: modern wood-burning stove and accessories). 4. Energy Efficiency: adequate heating plant with annual maintenance and modifications Conference Policies 45

for current technology. Insulated windows and adequate insulation in walls and ceiling are essential. Air conditioning should be provided in any locality where the climate requires it. An energy audit should be made, and recommendations referred to the Board of Trustees. 5. Additional Essential Features a. All church-owned furnishings and equipment should be in good condition with regard to appearance and useability b. Adequate electrical outlets should be provided, including those for refrigerator- freezer facilities, air conditioning, television, and other devices. c. All windows should have blinds and/or draperies in good condition. d. Windows should provide adequate ventilation, and those which open should have accompanying screens. e. Floor covering in all areas should be in good condition and up-to-date. Consideration should be given to ease of maintenance. f. Fencing should be installed an maintained where necessary to provide protection, containment, and ample area for activities for small children. g. Dead-bolt locks, television antenna or cable installation, smoke alarm(s), and working doorbells should be provided. B. Furnishings and Equipment to be Provided 1. Kitchen, electric or gas range, refrigerator with minimum of 17 to 21 cubic feet of space, with a freezing compartment or a separate freezer; adequate cupboard space; adequate counter space with good finish. A dishwasher and disposal are highly recommended. Outlet and space for a microwave oven should be provided. 2. Laundry Area: current models of automatic washer and dry, in good operating condition. 3. Yard Care: power lawn mower, garden hoses and sprinklers, garden tools and equipment. 4. Telephone: two telephones should be provided. The telephone deposit and connection should be maintained by the church to prevent interruption between pastorates. 5. Consideration should be given to providing floor lamps in parsonages that have no overhead lights. 6. Condition: when furnishings and equipment are no longer in good condition with regard to appearance and usability, then should be removed and replace as soon as practical. Out-of- date items or the discards of others should not be placed in the parsonage. Decisions in this regard should reside with the Parsonage Committee and pastor. 7. Inventory: an up-to-date list of all parsonage furnishings, including dates of purchase, serial numbers, and related data should be kept, with copies to be filed with the Parsonage Committee, church office, and the District Superintendent. C. Care of Property 1. Insurance: coverage is normally provided by the church for all fire and casualty losses, including public liability, including the replacement cost of the parsonage and church-owned furnishings and equipment. Clergy are responsible for insuring personal property, including furniture. 2. Repairs: an amount shall be provided in the local church budget for repairs and maintenance of the parsonage. (An amount equivalent to two percent [2%] of the value of the parsonage is recommended. This can be achieved by paying one-twelfth [1/12th] of the yearly amount each month into a special reserve, which should be cumulative.) 3. Interior and exterior painting should be provided as required to keep the house in good condition and appearance. 4. Operating Procedures: a. A formal agreement between the pastor and the church shall be instituted. The agreement shall clarify the expectations of both the church and the pastor with regard to the matters listed in this policy statement. A review upon the arrival of the incoming pastor and two weeks before the departure of the outgoing pastor is in order to conform to the agreement. (see revised sample form below) The clergy shall make a security/cleaning deposit to cover damage and cleaning costs for the parsonage. The deposit will be obtained via payroll deduction during the first 6 months of the clergy use of the parsonage. The church will place the deposit in trust to be refunded at the end of the clergy appointment if the parsonage is in reasonable condition considering 46 Conference Policies

normal wear and tear. Any cleaning and damage costs incurred by the church for the parsonage would be deducted from the deposit. b. The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee in cooperation with the Board of Trustees shall be responsible for seeing that all necessary work is done to keep the parsonage up to these recommendations. c. An annual review should be made of the agreement, involving the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee and Board of Trustees, with the pastor’s family. d. The parsonage family should be consulted in the selection of applicances and furnishings, and their taste considered in determining color and plans for interior decorating. Neutral colors for drapes and carpets are recommended so as to fit with whatever color décor of furnishings the parsonage family may bring into the parsonage. e. A parsonage history should be kept in the church files, providing age of the building, its assessed evaluation, dates and types of improvement, including purchases of appliances and a list of church-owned furnishings. Photos are desirable. f. The following information should be supplied to the minister by the Parsonage Committee in the form of a regular Parsonage Reference Manual containing: (1) Location of water shut-off valves and outside faucets including instructions on “winterizing” outside plumbing. (2) Locations and drawing for all electrical disconnect panels with appropriate labels on breakers/fuses. (3) Instructions on all appliances including lighting pilot lights in furnaces, water heaters and stoves. (4) Directions on the use of all power equipment including lawn mowers and other power tools belonging to the parsonage. (5) Instruction booklets for appliances. (6) Suggested list for service personnel and service providers (volunteers) within the church. (7) Schedule of regular maintenance to be carried out with the parsonage committee. (8) Any other information specific to the parsonage and grounds. 5. Prior to moving out of a parsonage, the parsonage family shall clean, or arrange and pay for the cleaning of the house, including carpets and rugs. If this is not done, the Parsonage Committee shall have the option of hiring the work done and deducting the expenses from the security/cleaning deposit before refunding the deposit to the outgoing pastor. D. General Suggestions 1. Ministers are encouraged to live in the parsonage(s) provided by the local church where the parsonage(s) is adequate according to these guidelines. Consultation between the church, District Superintendent, and the pastor should occur if the parsonage is not appropriate. 2. The parsonage is the home of the pastor and family and their rights and privacy should always be respected by members of the congregation. With rights comes responsibilities for the appearance and condition of the parsonage. The minister’s family and the Parsonage Committee should work together to exercise good care of tall parsonage property. (See IIA and IIC4 above.) 3. When the pastor moves, the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should see that the lights, telephone, and water are left connected. The deposit for public utilities should be provided by the church. 4. If a gift of furniture or furnishings is made, the donor should designate specifically if it is to remain in the parsonage or is a personal gift to the pastor. III. Housing Allowance Standards A. An adequate housing allowance may be defined as an amount sufficient to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards of a church-owned parsonage and its furnishings and equipment (as defined by IIB). B. Churches are encourage to be attentive and responsive to the individual needs of minister with Conference Policies 47

regard to housing. C. In the event that a church and its pastor are considering a change from a parsonage to a housing allowance, this is to be done in consultation with the District Superintendent and the District Committee on Church Location and Building. Thorough attention should be given to the advantages and disadvantages of such a change. A church should be prepared, through careful preservation of adequate assets, giving attention to market values and trends, to provide future housing which meet Conference standards. (Discipline, par. 2537 and 2538) D. Where the housing allowance is provided and in order to allow the minister maximum benefits allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, the following guidelines are suggested: 1. For churches reporting to the Charge Conference and the District Superintendent, the amount designated for Housing Allowance should be the amount required to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards for a church-owned parsonage. Other amounts designated for housing allowance may be mutually agreed upon between the pastor and the church with the consent of the District Superintendent. Consideration should be given to costs of maintenance and repair that would otherwise be paid by the church to maintain a parsonage. The housing allowance is in addition to any amount designated for utilities. 2. For Federal Income Tax purposes, it is recommended that the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee make a separate allocation of total compensation including housing allowance as established by the Charge Conference in order to reflect the actual cost of providing a home. This designation should be made in a letter to the pastor in advance of the effective date. IV. Cabinet Policy Regarding the Sale of Parsonage See Conference Rule 12.062

PASTOR-PARISH RELATIONS COMMITTEE/PARSONAGE COMMITTEE AGREEMENT (Sample Form for Optional Use)

1. It is the responsibility of the incoming pastor to note the condition and cleanliness of the parsonage. A written inventory is recommended. 2. It is the responsibility of the pastor to maintain the parsonage ground—keeping it presentable at all times: e.g., mowing and watering lawn, trimming and maintaining shrubs, removing leaves, shoveling snow in winter, etc. 3. The pastor will be responsible to replace or pay for broken and/or misused items. 4. It is the responsibility of the local church to maintain and replace for normal wear and usage all parsonage furnishings and equipment. 5. The costs of damage to the parsonage resulting from the activity of pets should be the responsibility of the parsonage family. 6. A meeting of the pastor and Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should be held annually for review of the condition of the parsonage. It is the responsibility of the out-going pastor to see that the parsonage is thoroughly cleaned for his/her successor.

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest Annual Conferences 9:00 pm

Following opening worship, which featured the installation of Bishop Elaine Stanovsky (who also preached at the service), the bishop called the 49th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference and the 144th session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference to order and invited the Holy Spirit to be among us to guide our work.

Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary for Oregon-Idaho, moved that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, meeting in its 49th Session, conduct some of its reports, celebrations, business, and worship together with the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, as indicated on the official agenda. Passed.

Shirley DeLarme, conference secretary for Pacific Northwest, moved that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, meeting in its 144th Session, conduct some of its reports, celebrations, business, and worship together with the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, as indicated on the official agenda. Passed.

Laura then moved the organizational motions for both conferences, as follows: 1. That the printed conference program, including Orders of the Day, is hereby adopted as the official agenda with such changes as will be proposed from time to time by the Agenda chair; 2. That the conference staff, interpreters, readers, mentors, technicians, and pages who do not hold voting privileges are allowed the privilege of working within the bar of the conference; 3. That the registration process for this joint annual conference session be used as the Roll Call for the 144th Session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference and the 49th Session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference; 4. That our official visitors from the Alaska Conference be allowed to sit within the bar, with voice but no vote; 5. That clergy from other annual conferences and other Methodist denominations, currently serving under appointment in Oregon-Idaho and in Pacific Northwest under paragraph 346.1 of the 2016 Book of Discipline, be allowed to sit within the bar of the conference with voice but no vote. 6. That the Daily Proceedings for this joint conference session be kept for both Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest, and that each conference’s Daily Proceedings be included in the appropriate Conference Journal as the official minutes for Oregon-Idaho’s 49th Session and for Pacific Northwest’s 144th Session; 7. That the bar of the conference be set for this evening as the chairs within this room, as well as the head platform and the technicians’ booth. [Laura noted before making the motion that visitors who are within the bar for the worship service should refrain from voting.] Passed.

Wendy Woodworth brought greetings from the Agenda Chairs (Wendy from OR-ID and Jon Short from PNW), and reviewed the challenges and opportunities in this unique schedule. She urged us to pay close attention to transition times, which are often very short.

107 108 Daily Proceedings Bishop Stanovsky invited Brant Henshaw and Sharon Ryder to address the conference on the topic of Safe Sanctuaries. Brant introduced a group of “Safety Advocates” for this annual conference session. The Safety Advocates are available for anyone who feels that their boundaries (physical, emotional, spiritual) have been compromised, because we want this session to be a safe and productive space for everyone. Sharon spoke on behalf of the Accessibility Committee, who offered that all the committee members (wearing blue scarves or pins) are available for anyone who needs assistance with accessibility. She also asked that no food with nuts be brought to the AC site.

The bishop reported that we have a number of special visitors and guests, who will be introduced tomorrow. In the meantime, she encouraged us to speak to people here whom we do not know—and everyone will be able to easily find someone in that category!

Carlo Rapanut, superintendent of the Alaska United Methodist Conference, offered a final benediction, followed by a musical blessing from the Boise First UMC youth choir.

Shared Plenary Session #1 Thursday, June 15, 2017 9:20 am

The shared plenary session began with a devotional time of singing and reflection led by folks from Crosspoint, a new church start in Boise.

Bishop Stanovsky used her gavel to call the morning session to order. She announced that last night’s offering for REBUILD-Up from the Ashes was $30,916.43! The bishop introduced the head platform folks: the parliamentarian, Paul Cosgrove; Oregon-Idaho’s agenda chair, Wendy Woodworth (who worked with Jon Short from PNW to prepare the shared agenda); PNW’s conference secretary, Shirley DeLarme (Laura Jaquith Bartlett, OR-ID’s conference secretary, is also on the platform and will trade off duties with Shirley); PNW Lay Leader Nancy Tam Davis (who will trade off with Jan Nelson, OR-ID’s lay leader); and Rachel Fitzgerald, the brand-new administrative assistant for the Area’s Episcopal Office.

Lowell Greathouse, David Valera, and Carlo Rapanut, who carry the job responsibilities of the Area’s Directors of Connectional Ministries, talked of their intent to highlight a variety of “signs of life” throughout our conference session. Today’s video focused on church revitalization work coordinated by Bill Gibson, Steve Ross, and Kristina Gonzalez. Our mission field continues to change but our mission remains the same. The question: What’s your mission field?

Bill Gibson told the conference members that starting new churches is all about one word: relationships— with Jesus, and with each other. Bill reported that we will have 40 new church projects “on the ground” by July 26, which were launched last year and this year combined. The district superintendents have also counted up about 65 “new places for new people.” Bill challenged every church in the Area to create at least one new place this year. He highlighted a few exciting new ministry opportunities that are in process right now.

Steve Ross is retiring at this annual conference. His work in church revitalization was celebrated, and the members had an opportunity to show appreciation for his ministry over the past few years on behalf of the Greater Northwest Area.

Kristina Gonzalez has worked in PNW for many years, but Alaska and OR-ID folks also know Kristina due to her work throughout the Area on behalf of an inclusive church. Kristina shared her own family history, and reminded us that no one should be subjected to attitudes and behaviors that are demeaning or that devalue who we are as human beings. She urged us to think about this question: In what ways are you called to be humble in order to create a relationship with someone who is different from you? The work of cultural competency is indeed work, and it’s personal work, but Kristina witnessed to the blessings that happen in the midst of this work. Daily Proceedings 109 The bishop affirmed that we are working hard to do a new thing here in the Greater Northwest. She noted that this is not a formal structure; it’s a voluntary collaboration among the three conferences as we pool resources and energy and creativity in strengthening discipleship and bringing new people into community with us.

Bill Gibson invited folks from Valley and Mountain (PNW) to receive an award, celebrating its success in becoming a chartered United Methodist Church in just six years.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Jan Nelson (OR-ID) and Marie Kuch-Stanovsky (PNW), the heads of delegation for General Conference 2016, introduced the constitutional amendments from GC2016, in preparation for voting tomorrow. They also shared recommendations from the delegations on each of the five amendments.

INTRODUCTIONS The bishop introduced the guests from Alaska: Jo Anne Hayden, Carlo Rapanut, Charles Brower, Teri Erbele, Jim Doepke, Lisa Talbot, Joe Talbot, Lonnie and Adriana Brooks, Nico Romeijn-Stout.

Bishop Elaine also welcomed a number of resource people here from general agencies of The UMC, as well as Jan Elfers (executive director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon). The general church visitors named were Lauren Ward (Discipleship Resources) Amy Valdez-Barker (executive secretary of the Connectional Table), Shannon Lavrin (shared services manager, General Council on Finance & Administration), Terry Shoemaker (Wespath), Jodi Chadwell (chief officer of shared services and ministry evaluation, General Council on Finance & Administration).

ANNOUNCEMENTS Shirley shared a variety of logistical announcements related to the challenges of meeting in a new venue with two conferences sharing that space!

Oregon-Idaho Plenary Session #1 Thursday, June 15, 2017 11:00 am

The bishop welcomed the Oregon-Idaho annual conference to its first individual session.

NOMINATIONS Lowell Greathouse asked the conference members to fill out the pink corrections form if they see errors to be corrected in the nominations report. The vote will take place Friday afternoon.

COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION Rick Beadnell, the first-year president of CF&A, shared the challenges of taking on this daunting task with a Council of many new folks, and a new conference treasurer! Rick reported that in the calendar year 2016, we had some significant investment income—and even better news: apportionment giving increased (especially in Sage District, which increased giving by 8%)! About 2/3 of churches paid their apportionments at 100%. As an annual conference, we paid 100% of our general and jurisdictional apportionments! In calendar year 2017, we have so far received apportionments at about 1% less than in 2016, so we have some work to do to catch up and then exceed last year’s standard. CF&A has an investment subcommittee working on the process of divesting, as directed by the Holy Land divestment action request passed by the 2015 annual conference. There is now an apportionment calculator app available through the OR-ID website: umoi.org/apportionmentcalculator. Rick outlined CF&A’s goals: ensure our spending reflects our priorities; decrease the apportionment to payment gap; create a narrative budget; better communication about the work that our shared ministries are supporting; analyze apportionment calculations based on income rather than expense. Rick also presented a short summary of the 2018 budget. He noted that vital church and new start initiatives is an area that is valued highly in our conference—but is receiving no apportionment dollars in 2018. This is a good example of 110 Daily Proceedings “other funding”: The work in 2018 is being financed by the proceeds from the sale of closed churches. Rick also mentioned an opportunity coming up on February 10, 2018: a workshop titled “Inspiring Generosity in Your Congregation” in Portland. For more information, contact Cesie Delve Scheuermann at [email protected].

CHURCH CLOSURES Steve Sprecher, Cascadia district superintendent, offered some words about the long history of ministry through the Clatskanie United Methodist Church, then offered this motion: that the Clatskanie United Methodist Church be discontinued effective July 1, 2017, and that all real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to paragraph 2549 in the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Steve then lifted up the ministry of Jason Lee United Methodist in Salem, Oregon, followed by this motion: that the Jason Lee United Methodist Church of Salem be discontinued effective July 1, 2017. After transfer of the Bedford, Duell, Lumps and memorial funds to the appropriate bodies, all real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to paragraph 2549 in the Book of Discipline, to be held in trust for the emerging Hispanic congregation until such time as they are able to receive the property. Passed.

Erin Martin, Columbia district superintendent, brought to the body the story of Pine Grove and Odell United Methodist Churches, which merged in 1999 although they had shared life and ministry together for most of their history.

The Board has worked on developing a proposal for 2018 health insurance for active clergy and lay staff receiving benefits through HealthFlex. We continue to pay out more in claims than we contribute through premiums, which means that our premium rates continue to increase. Danna outlined the changes for 2018. She also summarized the situation for retiree health insurance.

Danna moved the adoption of the health benefits recommendations as found on page 16 of the pre- conference reports (page 180 of this Journal).

OR-ID and PNW Shared Session #2 Friday, June 16, 2017 9:20 am

WORSHIP During a service of worship, the retiring clergy and diaconal minister of PNW and OR-ID were recognized and celebrated. The candidates who were elected into provisional membership for both conferences were introduced, and those to be ordained as elders and deacon were asked the historic Wesleyan questions by Bishop Stanovsky. A mantle was passed from a retiring elder to an elder ordinand, and a pitcher and towel were passed from a retiring deacon to the deacon ordinand.

The bishop offered a prayer, and then dismissed Oregon-Idaho members to go to lunch.

Oregon-Idaho Plenary Session #3 Friday, June 16, 2017 1:22pm

The bishop called us back to order with a brief centering prayer.

NOMINATIONS Lowell Greathouse noted that the addendum to the report is now available. He also made two additions: Page 4, line 11: add Etha Carruthers; Page 12, line 11: add Sharon Bryan. Lowell reminded us that since we adopted the action request related to the make-up of the Ministry Leadership Team, the membership of the group as listed on the Nominations Report will be somewhat different. Lowell moved the adoption of the Nominating committee report, with the addition of the addendum and further updates made by Lowell. Passed. 114 Daily Proceedings COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION Rick Beadnell moved the adoption of the CF&A annual recommendations as printed in the pre- conference reports, page 13, lines 14-49 (page 177 of this Journal) Passed.

Rick moved the adoption of the 2018 conference budget lines 1-209 (page 302 of this Journal) Passed.

Rick moved the adoption of the non-budget program support items, lines 224-240 (pages 307 of this Journal). Passed.

SAFE SANCTUARIES Warren Light, outgoing Safe Sanctuaries coordinator, and Lydia Henry, incoming Safe Sanctuaries coordinator, showed a video and reminded us that we have differing levels of risk for abuse, depending on who we are. The video highlighted that 1 in 5 people will be sexually abused….and if that statistic referred to an angry bear in a room of trapped people, we would all be upset about the situation. Risk reduction, bystander training, and primary prevention are three important elements of our work together to protect all of us. Warren and Lydia thanked the conference members for their support over the years, and for working to keep our kids and vulnerable adults safe.

LEGISLATIVE WORK Warren directed our attention to the late legislation.

On behalf of the Legislative Assembly, Mel Phillips moved the adoption of AR-9, Call for a Special Session of the Western Jurisdictional Conference. Defeated.

On behalf of the Legislative Assembly, Ric Shewell moved the adoption of SR-10, We Are a Church for All God’s Children. Passed.

Warren announced the conclusion of our Legislative work together!

CAMP & RETREAT MINISTRY Todd Bartlett was introduced as our new executive director of camp and retreat ministry! Todd noted that we have hired three new site directors (yes, that’s 50%) in the last six months, for our six sites: Troy Taylor at Camp Magruder, Sam Grainger at Camp Latgawa, and Dan Benson at the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center. Todd asserted that Jane & Daniel Petke at Suttle Lake, David & Peggy Lovegren at Wallowa Lake, and Dave Hargreaves at Sawtooth will continue in their excellent leadership. Todd presented a gift of local honey from the Collins Retreat Center to Bishop Elaine.

FRANCIS ASBURY AWARD Warren Light came forward yet again! As the campus minister in Eugene, he lifted up the Francis Asbury Award, given to one campus ministry recipient in each annual conference. The award for Oregon- Idaho has been presented to Tim Stover, who is retiring this year from campus ministry at Oregon State University.

A WAY FORWARD COMMISSION Donna Pritchard serves on this Commission, and offered a brief report. More information will be available at the workshops she’ll be leading in the morning. The Commission was established by the Council of Bishops, following a request made by the 2016 General Conference, about how our Daily Proceedings 115 denomination might find ways forward in our struggle to be in relationship with LGBTQ persons. A video about the Commission was shown to the conference members. At the request of the bishop Donna led us in a prayer for the Commission, then Bishop Elaine prayed for Donna.

GERTRUDE BOYD CRANE AWARD Karen Morray, the OR-ID president of United Methodist Women, explained a bit about the history of Gertrude Boyd Crane, and noted that this year’s scholarship winners are Mia Park and Deena Wolfe.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2018 The bishop announced that the next session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference will be held June 14-16, 2018. Gwen Drake, Sage district superintendent, and Joshua Bynum, the Sage lay leader, invited all of us to come to Boise, Idaho, for the session. On our behalf, Bishop Stanovsky accepted the invitation.

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE Jeanne Knepper asked Donna Pritchard how the denomination will come to a place that is in synch with the Commission itself, given that the church will not have been on the same intense and challenging journey that the Commission is currently traveling. Donna reported that the Commission is working on that very issue.

After a final prayer from the bishop, the Oregon-Idaho conference took a short break before the next shared session.

OR-ID and PNW Shared Session #3 Friday, June 16, 2017 2:30 pm

CONNECTIONAL TABLE Bishop Elaine introduced the Rev. Amy Valdez Barker, the executive secretary of our denomination’s Connectional Table, who addressed the joint session. Amy reminded us that we are each investors and beneficiaries of the United Methodist connection.

CONAM The Committees on Native American Ministries for all three of our Area conferences have been working together for some time now. A number of members of the joint CONAM were seated in front of the plenary space, and were recognized by Kristina Gonzalez. She introduced Coyote Marie Hunter-Ripper (OR-ID) and Charlie Brower (Alaska). Coyote Marie began by saying “hi everyone, how you doin’?” in Cherokee. She noted that she is Cherokee, Choctaw, and Scottish. She also described her clothing, hat, and jewelry, which come from a variety of traditions, and pointed out that her background and wardrobe make her multi-cultural and multi-faith! Charlie pointed out that the turtle on top of Coyote Marie’s Sufi hat reminds him of the diversity that we value in the United Methodist Church. He lifted up a summit event called Why Water Matters, to be held November 16-18, 2017 in Minneapolis. Charlie also wondered aloud what will happen in the future when the UMC’s three missionary conferences (Alaska United Methodist Conference, Redbird Missionary Conference, and Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference) no longer exist, as the General Board of Global Ministries phases out this relationship and support. He is grateful to be in partnership with all of us in the Greater Northwest. Priscilla Gardee spoke briefly to add her sense of caring to the report. Bishop Elaine presented a copy of the book, Massacre at Sand Creek: How Methodists Were Involved in an American Tragedy, to Priscilla.

INTRODUCTIONS Kirsty Jenkinson from Wespath brought greetings to the shared session, and told three stories about Wespath’s investment values.

Rev. Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, the president of Claremont School of Theology, was introduced and spoke to the conferences about the amazing growth that CST has experienced since 2011. He also spoke 116 Daily Proceedings candidly about the challenge of keeping CST in its current location. To upgrade the current physical facilities and maintain the Claremont campus would take vast millions of dollars—which could not be spent on students and faculty. Dr. Kuan shared that the school is in the midst of looking for a new site for the seminary, and he invites our prayers in this process.

Shannon Lavrin, who serves as the senior manager of Shared Services for the General Council of Finance and Administration for the UMC, congratulated both annual conferences for paying 100% of our jurisdictional and general apportionments in 2016 and thanked us for our faithful ministry and witness.

Brant Henshaw and Dan Wilson-Fey, conference treasurers for PNW and OR-ID, noted that part of our apportionment giving is directed to Africa University, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!

READING OF APPOINTMENTS All the district superintendents and lay leaders came to the platform to join with the bishop in the reading of new appointment changes.

Tim Overton-Harris, the new Cascadia district superintendent, was invited forward. Bishop Elaine also acknowledged Peg Lofsvold and Steve Sprecher, who have served the district well over this past year. Tim and Bishop Stanovsky read the new appointments for Cascadia.

Erin Martin is continuing as the Columbia district superintendent. She and the bishop read the new appointments for Columbia.

John Tucker, the Crater Lake district superintendent joined Bishop Elaine for the reading of the new appointments for Crater Lake.

Gregg Sealey, district superintendent for the Inland district, came forward to read with the bishop the new appointments for Inland District.

Daniel Foster, Puget Sound district superintendent joined with the bishop for the two new appointments to be read for the Puget Sound district.

Gwen Drake, the district superintendent for Sage district, came to the podium to help the bishop with the reading of the new appointments for Sage district.

Rich Lang, district superintendent for the Seattle district, assisted the bishop with the reading of appointment changes for the Seattle district.

Mary Huycke, the new (again!) district superintendent for the Seven Rivers district, was welcomed to her appointment as the DS. The bishop also thanked Juli Reinholz for her important work on the district. Mary and Bishop Elaine read the new appointments for Seven Rivers.

Cara Scriven, Tacoma district superintendent, came forward to assist the bishop with the reading of changes in appointments in the Tacoma district.

David Nieda, Vancouver district superintendent, joined the bishop to read the appointment changes for the Vancouver district.

The deans of the two conferences, Gwen Drake and David Nieda, read together with the bishop the new extension ministry appointments.

The combined district lay leaders read a litany of welcome and commitment for the new appointments. Our conference musicians then led us in a final song together.

ANNOUNCEMENTS The bishop closed the shared session in prayer. After PNW’s plenary session, the conference members gathered together for a banquet celebrating our abundant blessings from God. Daily Proceedings 117 Saturday, June 17

With the business of plenary sessions complete, the conference members and guests focused more directly on the work of discipleship. A variety of “Ministry Alive” options were offered throughout the morning, from training opportunities, to discussion groups, to advocacy, and hands-on mission work. At the conclusion, folks were invited to gather at the riverside, where we were led in a celebration of what we had shared together, along with a time to rejoice for the gifts of living water—and in particular for the river that our two conferences share.

Following a shared lunch, new provisional members from PNW and OR-ID were commissioned, as two elders and one deacon were ordained. The Rev. Jeremy Smith was the preacher, and Bishop Elaine Stanovsky presided at communion.

Just prior to the opening of worship, Bishop Elaine asked for (and was granted) consensus that, following the ordination/commissioning service, the 49th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference and the 144th session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference be adjourned.

Clergy Session Thursday, June 15, 2017 3:30 pm Vancouver First United Methodist Church

Clay Andrew called the Clergy Session to order at 3:30. He introduced those at the head platform: Bishop Elaine Stanovsky; Clay Andrew, BOM chair; Courtney McHill, BOM chair-elect; Julia Nielsen, BOM conference relations registrar; Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary.

Clay led us in a time of devotions, reminding us of our theme, “Do this and you will live”….because church ain’ no grave!

Bishop Stanovsky introduced Rachel Fitzgerald, her new administrative assistant, and asked for permission (which was granted) for her to be in the room for our session.

Warren Light, our Safe Sanctuaries coordinator, asked that Lydia Henry, the new coordinator, be allowed to be present. The group agreed. Lydia and Warren made a short presentation about the importance of this work.

After explaining the various voting categories, Laura Jaquith Bartlett made the following motions: a) that ministers of other denominations currently serving within the bounds of OR-ID be allowed to be present without voice or vote; an individual minister of another denomination may be allowed voice upon approval by a 2/3 vote of the session. b) that clergy members of other annual conferences, who are currently serving within the bounds of OR-ID (under par. 346.1) be allowed in clergy session, with voice but no vote. c) that our sound and video technician be allowed to be present in the room without voice or vote.

The work on the BAC was pronounced complete!

In response to a question from Brian Shimer, Bishop Elaine apologized (as she did to PNW earlier this afternoon) for not handling the issue of clergy transfers well. In the process of this transition, and learning new conference systems, this piece has fallen through the cracks, but the bishop pledged to work diligently on this for next year.

Bishop Stanovsky also reported on discussions the Cabinet has had over the past year about difficult situations—including the issue of clergy moving and then continuing to maintain relationships with the previous parish. Through this discussion, the Cabinet has considered a particular covenant statement, but is not bringing the statement to the clergy session at this time (she also noted that the PNW clergy session did adopt that statement at their session earlier this afternoon, after lively discussion). She is committed to working with Oregon-Idaho to find ways for us to deal with such situations.

The bishop, with regret, needed to leave in order to keep up with her schedule. Gwen Drake, dean of the cabinet, took over the presiding duties in her absence.

Clay offered a very brief report on behalf of the Board of Ordained Ministry.

Kate Conolly, co-chair of the Order of Elders, joyfully proclaimed that she and Todd had no report!

Joyce Sluss, co-chair of the Order of Deacons (with Jeff Lowery), offered a report of the Order. She noted that the Order has included diaconal ministers and deaconesses in its covenant, because these two groups have laid the foundation for ordained deacon ministry. She celebrated Jane Hill, who is the last active diaconal minister in our annual conference, and is now retiring.

Gwen adjourned the session and closed us in prayer at 5:37pm. 120 Ordination

ABOUT BOOK OF DISCIPLINE PARAGRAPH 304.3 ENTITLED QUALIFICATIONS OF ORDINATION—LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE (2011, revised 2014, 2017) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists Whereas the Constitution of The United Methodist Church reserves to the clergy members of each Annual conference the exclusive right to vote “on all matters relating to the character and conference relations of its clergy members,” [The Constitution, ¶33, 2016 Book of Discipline]; And whereas The Book of Discipline establishes among the laws of the Church that “... self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church” [2016 Book of Discipline, ¶304.3]; And whereas the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference has adopted resolutions that are specifically welcoming of people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; Be it hereby resolved that the sense of the Oregon Idaho-Annual Conference is that if any clergy member of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference who is a member of a district committee on ministry, the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry or a member of the appointive cabinet be charged with certifying a self-avowed practicing homosexual as a candidate, or recommending that a self-avowed practicing homosexual be ordained, and after due Disciplinary process is tried and convicted of such an offense, that an appropriate penalty to assign would be the suspension of said convicted minister from the exercise of pastoral office [2016 Book of Discipline, ¶2711.3] for a period of 24 consecutive hours.

2. ABOUT BOOK OF DISCIPLINE PARAGRAPH 2702.1B ENTITLED CHARGEABLE OFFENSES AND THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS--LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFER- ENCE (2011, revised 2014, 2017) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists Whereas the Constitution of The United Methodist Church reserves to the clergy members of each Annual conference the exclusive right to vote “on all matters relating to the character and conference relations of its clergy members,” [The Constitution, ¶33, 2016 Book of Discipline]; And whereas The Book of Discipline establishes among the laws of the Church that “ a bishop, clergy members of the annual conference, local pastor, clergy on honorable or administrative location or diaconal minister may be tried when charged” with “practices declared by The United Methodist Church to be incompatible with Christian teachings, including but not limited to: being a self-avowed practicing homosexual; or conducting ceremonies which celebrate homosexual unions; or performing same-sex wedding ceremonies” [2016 Book of Discipline, ¶ 2702.1(b)] And whereas the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference has adopted resolutions that are specifically welcoming of people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; Be it hereby resolved that the sense of the Oregon Idaho-Annual Conference is that if any clergy member of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference be charged with any of the above mentioned offenses, and after due Disciplinary process is tried and convicted of such an offense, an appropriate penalty to assign would be the suspension of said convicted minister from the exercise of pastoral office [2016 Book of Discipline, ¶2711.3] for a period of 24 consecutive hours.

3. ALIGNING INVESTMENTS WITH VALUES REGARDING PALESTINE AND ISRAEL (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We support a call for all Oregon-Idaho United Methodist boards and agencies, districts, local churches and individuals to prayerfully consider avoiding companies involved in Israel’s occupation of Palestine when making investment decisions; and Encourage United Methodists to partner with Jews, Christians, Muslims and other people of conscience working for corporate accountability, human rights, true peace and security for all people in Israel and Palestine, and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. 132 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 4. BAN ON TORTURE (2008, 2011, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We support a ban on torture in any form by the U.S. government, its agencies, agents, military or the use of non-U.S. government entities to torture on its behalf.

5. BRING U.S. GOVERNMENT DRONE MISSILE STRIKES UNDER OVERSIGHT (2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation For Social Action All people of faith in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference who follow Jesus’ teachings are called upon to: 1. Oppose killing of other people, whoever they are and by whatever means, because it violates Jesus’ teachings; and oppose all drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists (and innocent civilians) in countries where war is not declared. Drone killings run counter to our UMC statement: “We believe all human life is sacred and created by God and therefore we must see all human life as significant and valuable” [Social Principles 164:G, p 619]. 2. Insist our President, Senators and Representatives to follow the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11, that declares that “everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.” Our U.S. Bill of Rights, Amendments 4 to 8 uphold similar statements. Every person deserves justice and should be presumed innocent until being proved guilty. 3. Insist the Executive Branch provide information on attack results, whenever legal drone strikes are undertaken. 4. Urge our government to help formulate an international treaty that would agree to placing restraints on drone usage, similar to a nuclear weapons ban treaty.

6. CALL TO CIVILITY (2010, 2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation For Social Action “Civility is more than a rule for polite conduct. It is a way of life formed around values that unite rather than divide.” These words of Will Rogers are no less true today than when he said them during the Great Depression. In today’s highly polarized cultural environment, incivility has become systemic, spreading corrosively like a cancer in our communities, our nation and the body politic. As Persons of faith it is our individual as well as corporate responsibility to call for and to embody the civility reflective of the gospel values that unite us. Therefore, we call upon all United Methodists, clergy, and laity, to act as agents of peace, tolerance and mutual respect of all persons. Further, every United Methodist is called upon to challenge with civility those persons and media who promote hate, fear, misinformation and lies. Civility is the currency of civilization, of community. Civility is not an issue of ideology or political affiliation, it is an issue at the core of our gospel faith.

7. CHILDREN OF SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (2007, 2010, 2013, updated 2016) Sponsor: University Park UMC, Morningside UMC, OR-ID Reconciling United Methodists The 2000 Census established that same-gender couples are rearing children in The United States. These families reside in 96% of all counties in the country. Children of same-gender parents often experience economic, legal, and familial insecurity when their bonds to non-biological parents are not legally recognized. Legal recognition of same-gender relationships increases the ability of adult couples to provide and care for one another and fosters a nurturing and secure environment for their children.

The literature on outcomes for children of same-sex parents is marked by scientific consensus that 25 they experience “no differences” compared to children from other parental configurations. (Adams 26 and Light, 2015)1

The United Methodist Church believes “the family to be the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect, and fidelity” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]; and “encourage[s] social, economic, and religious efforts to maintain and strengthen relationships within families” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]. We conclude Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 133 that civil marriage, civil unions, and legally recognized domestic partnerships are beneficial to children, regardless of the gender of the parents, because they strengthen families. They foster financial and legal security, psychological and social stability, and an enhanced sense of societal acceptance and support. We support efforts to legally recognize same-gender relationships and claim that laws which limit recognition of the full rights of same-gender marriages and relationships actively harm the health and well-being of children all over the nation.

8. CLIMATE CHANGE (2005, revised 2008, revised 2011, revised and renamed, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We resolve to take positive action to curb emissions which contribute to global climate change. As stewards of God’s creation we acknowledge our way of living, specifically our use of energy, creates emissions that affect the climate and threaten all life. We resolve to support the creation of laws and policies that will lead to decreases in the dangerous emissions that threaten our planet. We encourage members to take simple steps to reduce greenhouse gas emission by driving conscientiously, by conserving energy in homes and workplaces, and by using alternative energy sources whenever possible. We recognize that the global climate is already changing, and stand ready to participate in the church’s response to the likely increase in weather-related disasters. We urge local ministry settings and members to be better stewards of the world’s resources by conserving energy. More information and resources are available from the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, and the National Council of Churches, to assist us in conversation and provide us with information for action.

9. CLOSE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS (Revised 2003, Renewed 2006, Renewed 2009, Revised 2012, Renewed 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference continues to support the endeavor to close the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly School of the Americas or SOA) located on the U.S. Army Base at Fort Benning, Georgia. The SOA trains Latin American personnel in inhumane, oppressive tactics such as torture, assassination and kidnapping, to control their populations. This resolution is consistent with the Social Principles P164(A), which clearly oppose the kinds of actions taken by graduates of the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC). Congregations and individuals are encouraged to bring this matter to the attention of the entire conference membership through appropriate action(s), including publicizing the issue in conference, district and local newsletters, conducting education events and especially expressing their will to the President and Members of Congress.

10. COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS (1982, 1986, 1989, 1992, Revised 1995, 1998, 2001, Re- vised 2004, Revised 2007, 2010, 2016) As Christians we believe in the redemptive potential of all people. Therefore, we urge members of the churches within the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to join with others of like mind in helping the correction systems of Oregon and Idaho in the use of community-based restitution, work programs, and other alternatives aimed at rehabilitation of those who have been convicted of crimes. We further encourage members, when necessary, to actively seek to change regulations which impede or restrict development and placement of such facilities or programs. For a good description of what constitutes community-based corrections, visit the webiste: http://www.liubrary.ca.gov/crb/96/08/. Remembering the words of Jesus, “I was in prison and you visited me,” (Matt. 25:36) we encourage pastors and lay persons in our congregations to visit and/or minister to persons in correctional institutions, and where possible, upon their release from prison, to assist them in their re-entry into local communities, by 134 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions helping them secure jobs and housing and inviting them into the fellowship of the church. We also urge congregations to identify and support families of these who have or have had members incarcerated in correctional institutions. A 2015 report by the Oregon Department of Corrections shows that community-based correction costs a fraction of the cost for confinement and offers more opportunity to provide services, such as alcohol or drug treatment, than does the prison system. While imprisonment costs $88.64 per day, the cost for community-based services runs between $.71 to $16.53 per day depending on the risk posed by the offender. The report also states that the recidivism rate for community-managed offenders is less than 30%. This suggests that supporting community-based corrections is better for the community and saves tax dollars. Comparable statistics were not found for Idaho but the Idaho Department of Corrections website has several reports about inviting faith communities to serve on advisory boards for community-based correction programs. These programs highlight increased cooperation between the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) and the community toward the goal of offender rehabilitation. Two examples of programs in Idaho that need more community support are community reentry centers and offender mentorship programs. We encourage our churches to seek out ways to actively support and/or establish community-based correction services in their communities.

11. CONFRONTING HETEROSEXISM (2010, 2013, updated 2016) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists In communities of transition, the local church shall be regarded as a principal base of mission from which structures of society shall be confronted, evangelization shall occur, and a principal witness to the changing community shall be realized. [Paragraph 212.2, 2012 Discipline] Many of our local churches and the communities they serve are facing transition and have a need to be open to change. Churches that discriminate against gay men, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people repel many youth and young adults, limiting the evangelistic ministry of churches in transitional communities. Heterosexism is a system of attitudes, bias, and discrimination in favor of opposite-sex sexuality and relationships. It can include the presumption that other people are heterosexual or that opposite-sex at- tractions and relationships are the only norm and therefore superior [from Wikipedia]. We call upon local churches to confront heterosexist structures, and to embrace people long told they are not welcome at church. Together we witness God’s inclusive love for all people.

12. EMBRACING THE IMMIGRANT (2012, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action When immigrants live in your land with you, you must not cheat them. Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. Lev.19: 33-34. (Common English Version) Rights of Immigrants – We recognize, embrace, and affirm all persons, regardless of country of origin, as members of the family of God. We affirm the right of all persons to equal opportunities for employment, access to housing, health care, education, and freedom from social discrimination. We urge the Church and society to recognize the gifts, contributions, and struggles of those who are immigrants and to advocate for justice for all. Social Principles of The United Methodist Church 2013-2016. ¶ 162. We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Conference and its congregations intentionally seek relationships with and stand in solidarity with immigrant sisters and brothers in our midst; call upon local, state, and federal government bodies to enact comprehensive immigration reform so policies protect the rights and well-being of all immigrants; and promote educational resources in local churches to empower members to advocate for the same. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 135 13. END GUN VIOLENCE THROUGH EDUCATION AND OTHER EFFORTS (2001, 2004, Revised 2007, Revised 2010, Revised 2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference stands in public witness against all gun violence in towns, cities and rural areas in Oregon and Idaho and across the United States, especially gun violence which kills and injures children and youth. Although law-abiding citizens should be able to buy and keep firearms, there are sensible gun laws that we insist upon when it comes to gun ownership and ending gun violence. With ownership of guns comes responsibility. Thus we call upon our churches and individuals to join national, state and local commitments against gun violence in America, consistent with actions in Resolution 3426, ‘Gun Violence’ in the Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church 2012, pages 490-493. The United Methodist Church must respond to this growing tragedy of thousands of American deaths by guns each year and discuss what role the church should take in facilitating dialogue to address and stop this situation, while acknowledging and educating people that gun violence occurs in all age categories and in domestic and sexual violence, mass shootings, gang attacks, suicides, and accidental shootings. The following actions should be taken: • “Educate the United Methodist community including parents, children, youth, and the elderly on all aspects of gun safety, as well as violence prevention, adult responsibility around gun violence prevention, and the public health impact of gun violence.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. This information should be shared with others in their community. • Adults should always provide adequate locked gun cabinet storage for all guns wherever they are located. • Adults should foster a climate of nonviolent conflict resolution in their homes, children’s schools, congregations and community. • Adults should educate themselves regarding media rating systems, and monitor and decrease the places where gun violence is shown, watched or engaged in by children, youths or other adult. This includes gun violence in television programs, movies, the internet and video games. Adults should discuss with children and youth in their home and their community why gun violence is harmful. • Research community needs and provide local alternatives to violence for people of all ages in the community so they can be safe and protected. engaged in safe, interactive situations. We acknowledge that gun violence can involve people in all age categories and in many ways- accidental shootings, mass shootings, suicides and gang attacks. Talk about this crisis in church. • “Identify community-based, state, and national organizations working of the issue of gun violence and seek their assistance to plan and design education and prevention workshops on gun violence,” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. Three such organizations include: Ceasefire Oregon (www.ceasefireoregon.org ) with programs encouraging voluntary gun take-back and buy-back days, and the ASK national campaign (Asking Saves Kids) that urges parents to ask other parents if there’s a gun in their home where the children go to play, since guns can be found in 40% of Oregon homes; Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense in America (www.momsdemandaction.org ) with Oregon chapters in Portland, and Mid-Willamette Valley, while other chapters can be organized in OR and ID communities; and Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence, with Portland & Eugene/Lane County chapters, (www.bradycampaign.org/ ). Brady Campaign reported that in August 2015 background checks can now be conducted everywhere in Oregon. Idaho does not require any background checks and allows online gun sales. • “Develop advocacy groups within local and regional congregations for the reduction of availability of guns in society, including handguns, assault weapons, automatic weapons and conversion kits, large capacity ammunition magazines, and guns that cannot be detected by traditional metal- detection devices. These advocacy groups can be linked to community-based, state and national organizations working on gun and violence issues.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Support federal legislation in the US Congress to regulate the importation, manufacturing, sale, and possession of guns and ammunition by the general public. Such legislation should include provisions for the registration and licensing of gun purchasers and owners, appropriate 136 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions background investigation and waiting periods prior to gun purchase, and regulation of subsequent sale.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Call upon the federal and state governments to provide significant assistance to victims of gun violence and their families.” (2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence) • Call upon United Methodists to prayerfully address gun biolence in their local context. One of the ways in which to prevent gun violence may include the following: United Methodist congregations are encouraged to display signs that prohibit carrying guns onto church property.

MIDDLE EAST CONFLICTS (2007, revised 2009, renewed 2012, 2016) Sponsor: OR-ID 2012 Legislative Assembly The Oregon-Idaho Annual conference resolves to: Pray for all those affected by the conflicts in the Middle East, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine/Israel and the Gaza area, and for a swift end to the destructions and violence that war rages within this area of the world. Support withdrawal of all troops and bases from the Middle East. Support the call for the United Nations to appoint a peace Envoy to encourage and cooperate in talks to explore a political settlement to all Middle East conflicts, and Call for multinational support for regionally generated plans to rebuild the Middle East, including, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine/Israel and the Gaza area as well as other Middle Eastern nations. Urge the churches in our conference to study the causes of war and the causes of Biblical and just peacemaking. Encourage persons to spend time in prayer and meditation, to discover ways to be peacemakers and to discover ways to help bring peace and reconciliation throughout the Middle East. We would also urge our churches to seek ways to advocate for peace in this area with our national leaders, and to help our nation bring our troops home at the earliest time possible.

15. NATIONAL FAIR TRADE POLICY (2009, renewed 2012, revised 2015) Sponsor: Methdoist Federation for Social Action We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church support fairly traded products on a local, state, national and international level. This would include promoting fairly traded products for use in our homes and churches, asking our local and state governments to consider the principle of fair trade in all of their acquisitions and contacts, and asking our national legislators in to include Fair Trade practices and principles in all free trade agreements.

16. NATIONAL HEALTH CARE REFORM (2010, 2013, revised 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action Our current health care delivery system is incompatible with United Methodist understanding of the Gospel as expressed in our Social Principles. Paragraph 162V (of the 2012 Book of Discipline) declares that health care is a “basic human right” and that “providing the care needed to maintain health, prevent disease, and restore health after injury or illness is a responsibility each person owes others and government owes to all, a responsibility government ignores at its peril.” Therefore, the OR-ID Annual Conference supports health care being available to all persons of all ages to provide comprehensive care (including vision and dental). Such a system is inclusive, effective, and affordable, equitable and secure and reflects our UM Social Principles.

17. ONE BODY IN CHRIST: AFFIRMING LGBTQI CLERGY (2017) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists The Apostle Paul reminds us, along with the church of Corinth, that we are all one in Christ, one body with many diverse and beautiful members: Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot would say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear would say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. As it Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 137 is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” (1 Corinthians 12:14-16, 20-21). None of us is dispensable and none of us is unworthy of full membership in the body of Christ or in the life and ministries of the church. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex clergy serve our churches faithfully and diligently, forming “disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world.” They bring unique gifts and grace to the people they serve, as well as demonstrating the gifts, graces, and fruits of ministry required of all clergy. LGBTQI clergy have suffered spiritual and psychic harm because our denomination, still on a journey toward spiritual perfection, has not yet removed discrimination from its rules and practices. The families and allies of LGBTQI clergy have also suffered spiritual and psychic harm. LGBTQI clergy have been made more vulnerable by institutional oppression through General Conference decisions in the last 44 years and the April 2017 rulings of the Judicial Council. The decisions not only fracture the body of Christ and dehumanize LGBTQI persons, but do harm to the entire Methodist connection. Collectively as members of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, we re-affirm our baptismal vows “to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves,” especially when it exists in our own Book of Discipline and in rulings of Judicial Council. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference aspires to live as the Beloved Community. We respond to God’s Great Commission to proclaim the good news to all people, and we intend to live into the reality of the beautiful, bold, diverse, and inclusive Body of Christ. We uphold our denomination’s mandate to foster inclusiveness: Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the church, the community, and the world; therefore, inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination. (¶ 140 2016 Book of 39 Discipline) The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference remains in support and solidarity with all LGBTQI clergy persons. Acting with humility, integrity, and courage, we renew our commitment to continue affirming LGBTQI clergy persons in their calls to ministry, support them in their service to the church, and work with them to transform all forms of institutional discrimination. We pray that God will bless and uphold us as we affirm that there is one Body of Christ, of which we are all beloved members.

18. OPEN MEMBERSHIP (2007, 2010, 2013, 2017) Sponsor: University Park United Methodist Church The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference expects and encourages its congregations and clergy to abide by the principle: Membership in any local church in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference shall not be denied on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, economic condition, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical ability, or any other status.

19. OPPOSE THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action According to the advocacy group Public Citizen: “In early November 2015, after seven years of close- door negotiations with the public, press and policymakers locked out, the final TPP text was released. In chapter after chapter, the final text is worse than expected, with the demands of the 500 official U.S. trade advisers representing corporate interests satisfied to the detriment of the public interest. The text reveals that the pact replicates many of the most controversial terms of past pacts that promote job offshoring and push down U.S. wages. If passed, the TPP would: • make it easier for big corporations to ship our jobs overseas, pushing down our wages and increasing income inequality, • flood our country with unsafe imported food, • jack up the cost of medicines by giving big pharmaceutical corporations new monopoly rights to keep lower cost generic drugs off of the market, • empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards, • ban ‘Buy American’ policies needed to create green jobs, • roll back Wall Street reforms, • sneak in SOPA-like [Stop Online Piracy Act] threats to internet freedom, • and undermine Human Rights” 138 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions For more information please check out www.publiccitizen.org.

We urge churches and members of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church to oppose the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement being negotiated among Pacific Rim nations including the United States. Standing Resolution #19 National Fair Trade Policy (2009, renewed 2012) makes clear our Annual Conference support for Fair Trade and states that “we support the renegotiation of all existing `Free Trade’ agreements to reflect Fair Trade practices and principles.” As people of faith, we believe that international trade and investment systems should respect and promote the dignity of the human person, ensure the development and well-being of people in all nations, foster gender and racial equality, and lead to environmental sustainability.

20. OPPOSING LEGISLATION REQUIRING RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST SURVIVORS IN CASES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (2017) Sponsor: The Wesley Foundation The deafening and disabling silence that has surrounded the abuse of women and children is being broken. We now know that overwhelming numbers of women and children in our churches and communities are being battered, raped, emotionally and psychologically abused, and physically and sexually assaulted. . . . The Social Principles of The United Methodist Church affirm the family as “the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect, and fidelity.” Clearly violence and abuse cannot be tolerated within such an understanding. . . . People of faith should take the lead in calling for a just response by the community in the face of domestic violence and sexual abuse. . . . ADOPTED 2004, READOPTED 2008 Resolution #3423 In keeping with the United Methodist principles, we, the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference offer support and advocacy for survivors of Domestic Violence [DV]. We oppose any legislation, such as Oregon Senate Bill 652 (2017 Legislative Session) that requires survivors of DV who seek restraining orders have such orders automatically placed on themselves. We recognize that any restraining order requires a showing of cause, may be contested, affording due process. We believe that survivors of DV should have that right as do offenders. Survivors must not be treated more harshly or have fewer legal rights than anyone else. We call upon everyone, including elected representatives, to reject such inequities that are intentionally and/or unintentionally gender-based. We further affirm that God is love, loves all people, and abhors violence in any family or home. We invite local ministry settings to offer support to survivors of Domestic Violence in keeping with the spirit of the healing Christ.

21. OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE SUPPORTS SANCTUARY FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES (2017) Sponsor: Planet Peace with Justice; OR-ID Reconciling United Methodists We encourage all of the churches and church sponsored facilities in the Oregon-Idaho Conference to study the option to become a “Sanctuary” site for immigrants and refugees. We ask these faith communities to take a stand to protect everyone who comes into their churches or facilities regardless of their immigrant status. The community would not be required to house immigrants or refugees. If such faith communities choose to do so, we encourage these communities to learn about protocols that provide maximum safety for immigrants. Declaring solidarity with immigrants and refugees helps to make our communities safer and more just.

22. PLANETARY STEWARDSHIP (2011, revised 2014, 2017) Sponsor: Planet Church Committee, Portland First United Methodist Church; Outreach Committee, Lake Oswego United Methodist Church.

Our planet with its life-nourishing balance of water, air, nutrients and climate is a precious gift and sacred trust from our Creator. Climate scientists continue to warn with increasing urgency that we humans are inflicting dangerous damage to this gift, - being virtually unanimous in their peer reviewed reports saying that continuing growth of greenhouse gas emissions is pushing our planet toward catastrophic climate change. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 139 Furthermore, the human produced emissions are coming mainly from the developed countries and wealthier peoples, while it is the less developed countries and peoples living in poverty who are least able to cope with resulting droughts, floods, growing food shortages, rising sea levels and other extreme weather events. Reduction of the air and water pollution that results from burning fossil fuels will also have measurable benefits for the health of people and the environment regardless of climate change. Finally, in many places population growth itself continues to stress our planet as a driver of climate change, food shortages and rapid species loss, while it is widely forecast that business as usual during the next 40 years will add another 2 billion people to our planet. We, as the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, affirm that as people of faith living in one of the world’s wealthiest nations our responsibilities include considering the adoption of science-based lifestyle changes and policies that will reduce human produced greenhouse gases; divesting from fossil fuel enterprises which are increasing greenhouse gases; promoting attitudes and policies that reduce human population growth to sustainable levels, and assisting the globe’s most vulnerable populations to adapt to climate change. So may we move toward humanity’s reconciliation with this awesome God-given life-sustaining place called earth.

23. PROMISES BROKEN (2015) Sponsor: Committee on Native American Ministries, Wilshire United Methodist Native American Fellowship Be it resolved that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference stand in support of tribal fishing families living and working near The Dalles and John Day Dams. Since the mid 20th century Native Peoples have experienced devastating displacement due to dam building on the Columbia River. The losses inflicted on tribal groups (most notable the famed Celilo Falls fishing site flooded by the massive Dalles Dam construction) are astonishing and can never be fully rectified. Fishing communities, men, women, children, grandchildren continue to uphold ancient sustainable fishing practices in harmony with their cultural beliefs and with maintaining a vibrant eco-system. Sadly, an ongoing disregard of treaties and promises made to compensate people for the loss of their land and homes continues and is evident by the substandard living conditions for these fishing communities. The U.S. government along with the Army Corp of Engineers has repeatedly underfunded and pushed aside this promised housing compensation. We believe that we as a country are collectively responsible for the injustices perpetrated upon First Nations Peoples. Therefore, institutions such as the United Methodist Church, can be a resource for addressing broken promises. Author, Roberta Ulrich, has written extensively on this subject in her book, Empty Nets, as well as in a recent editorial to The Oregonian newspaper of Nov. 16, 2014. She stated, “Congress should introduce legislation providing authorization and money allowing the Corp to finish righting this decades-old wrong.” We ask that members of the Annual Conference petition our representatives and senators of the U.S. Congress toward this end. We believe that this can be a step forward toward the “Act of Repentance Toward Indigenous Peoples” put in place by the Church and continuing now and in the future.

24. PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY ADDRESS INJUSTICE THROUGH BOYCOTTS, DIVESTMENT AND SANCTIONS (2017) Sponsor: Holy Land Task Force; OR-ID MFSA The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church opposes any state or federal legislation that seeks to restrict the right to address injustice through boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS), any efforts by elected officials to stifle the movement toward justice for Palestinians through anti- BDS legislation; The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference urges all United Methodist congregations and church members to contact their local, regional and national elected officials, to communicate this resolution and to advocate against anti-BDS legislation appearing anywhere in their state or country. 140 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 25. REPAIR AND STRENGTHEN THE 1965 VOTING RIGHTS ACT (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action, OR-ID Chapter The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports repairing the 1965 Voting Rights Act that was decimated by the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court Shelby County v. Holder decision. The weakened Voting Rights Act has allowed many states to place barriers to voting, including strict voter ID laws and residency requirements and prohibition of same-day registration. The voters most affected by these obstacles are blacks and other racial minorities, the poor, the elderly and young people. This must be changed. All U.S. citizens should have the right to vote without barriers.

26. SEEKING PEACE AND JUSTICE IN THE HOLY LAND (2007, Revised 2010, 2013, 2016) Sponsor: MFSA; Active for Peace and Justice (Corvallis First UMC) What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Truly I tell you, just as you did it to the least of these who are the members of my family you did it to me. Matthew 25:40. We affirm Israel’s right to exist within permanent, recognized and secure borders, and we affirm the Palestinians’ rights to self-determination and formation of a viable state with secure borders and air space, water rights, and passage rights to the land in their state, whether it is through a one-state or two- state solution. The General Conference in 2004, 2008, and 2012 resolved that, “The United Methodist Church opposes continued military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, the confiscation of Palestinian land and water resources, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the continued building of illegal Jewish settlements, and any vision of a ‘Greater Israel’ that includes the occupied territories and the whole of Jerusalem and its surroundings.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, pg 812]. We are called to support members of Christ’s church around the world, including Palestinian Christians who, along with their Muslim neighbors, are being forced to leave the Holy Land due to Israel’s confiscation of their property and the severe hardships of living under the illegal Israeli occupation of thier land. The illegal destruction of Palestinian homes and economy, the confiscation of Palestinian land, and the loss of Palestinian lives, including innocent children and civilians, are made possible by the use of armored bulldozers, helicopters, gunships, tanks and other equipment; while destruction of Israeli property, violence, and loss of innocent Israeli lives are made possible by the use of mortars, guns and bombs. This creates personal harm on both sides and simply increases profits for national and multinational corporations who manufacture and sell these weapons. The Kairos Palestine Document was issued by 16 Palestinian Christian leaders in Bethlehem on December 11, 2009 (and has now signed by over 1200 Palestinian Christians). It calls on churches of the world: “to take a position of truth with regard to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. ...We see boycott and disinvestment as tools of non-violence for justice, peace and security for all. ... We repeat once again that this is not revenge but rather a serious action in order to reach a just and definitive peace that will put an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories and will guarantee security and peace for all.” Kairos Palestine Document, December 11, 2009, #6.3 and 7, at [http://www. oikoumene.org/ fileadmin/files/wcc-main/2009pdfs/Kairos%20Palestine_Enpdf]. The United Methodist Church should not profit from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land or the destruction of Palestinian homes, orchards, and lives. Our church is committed to ensuring that our Church’s finances are used in a manner consistent with Christ’s teaching, our beliefs, and international law. The Investment Ethics resolution states our policy on Avoidance by Divestment: “This policy prohibits investment in enterprises that have policies or practices that are so morally reprehensible that investment in these companies is not tolerated by the church. ...Historically many church investors have refused to invest in major military contractors, companies with nuclear weapons contracts, or companies when they were doing business in South Africa under apartheid, [Book of Resolutions, 2008, Para. 4071, p 592]. We affirm the 2012 statements calling “on all nations to prohibit any financial support by individuals or organizations for the construction and maintenance of settlements; and also to prohibit the import of products made by companies in Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, p 813] and we further affirm this Annual Conference’s passage of a resolution direction “the Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 141 Conference Treasurer/Benefits Officer, and the Northwest United Methodist Foundation to the best of their abilities...divest all Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference funds from stock held in Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions, and Hewlett-Packard, and continue to exclude these companies from the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference investments until these companiews end their involvement with the illegal Isaeli occupation of Palestine...” [AR 06, “Aligning Investment With Values Regarding Palestine and Israel” 2015 Journal, page 144].. We encourage Oregon-Idaho members of the United Methodist Church to call on our U.S. government, the government of Israel, and the elected Palestinian leadership to reject all acts of aggression and violence, to respect the equality and dignity of all the region’s people, and to forge solutions based on the principles of international law and human rights.

27. STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE (2014) Sponsor: Montavilla (Portland) United Methodist Church Churches throughout the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference welcome people of various ethnic groups, income levels, ability levels, religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities to find a spiritual home in their congregations. Members of Conference United Methodist churches include people of various sexual orientations who are involved in loving relationships. God calls us to stand on the side of love. We believe all relationships that are grounded in shared affection and are equitable in power reflect God’s will. We support marriage between loving couples—gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, straight, celibate, or otherwise—that reflects such commitments.

28. STATEMENT OF CONVICTION (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: OR-ID Reconciling United Methodists; OR-ID MFSA; Marcia Hauer; Administrative Council of University Park United Methodist Church Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. [Romans 13:10] The Mission and Ministry of the Church, Section VI: We recognize that God made all creation and saw that it was good. As a diverse people of God who bring special gifts and evidences of God’s grace to the unity of the Church and to society, we are called to be faithful to the example of Jesus’s ministry to all persons. Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the Church, the community, and the world; therefore inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination. [2012 Discipline, ¶140, page 99] Out of concern for the welfare of all God’s people, and out of special concern for the people of The United Methodist Church, we, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, believe The United Methodist Church should remove the following statement from The Book of Discipline (2008 2012): “...The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church.” ¶304.3 Our lives and ministries over the years have included prayerful, thoughtful consideration of our Holy Bible, our Wesleyan heritage, reflection on our experience of the church and world, and our conviction of God’s intention for a world transformed. With this statement of conviction and counsel we seek: • To affirm that the historic tests of “gifts and evidence of God’s grace” for ordained ministry override any past or present temporal restrictions such as race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. • To urge the Church, ecumenical and denominational, to change the manner in which it relates to gay, lesbian and transgendered persons in official statements, judicial proceedings, and in congregational life. • To declare our conviction that the current disciplinary position of The United Methodist Church, a part of our historical development, need not, and should not, be embraced as the faithful position for the future. • To make known our conviction on this matter and to encourage other church conferences to do the same. 142 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions With increasing frequency we observe and experience the following disturbing realities and know them to be detrimental to the mission of a Church of Jesus Christ: • Laity and clergy, gay and straight, withdrawing membership or absenting themselves from the support of congregational and denominational Church life in order to maintain personal integrity. • Young adults, especially, embarrassed to invite friends and expressing dismay at the unwillingness of our United Methodist Church to alter an exclusionary stance adopted in 1972, long before we came to know of the gifts and graces of lesbian and gay laity and clergy. • Closeted pastors, currently called and ordained in our church, living divided lives while offering effective appreciated ministry. • Bishops being drained of energy by upholding Church Discipline while regarding it as contrary to their convictions. • Bishops caught between care for the Church by reappointing an effective gay or lesbian pastor and care for the Discipline by charging them under current legislation. • Seminary leaders desiring greater flexibility and openness from the church in order to advance their mission of identifying, recruiting, enrolling, educating and spiritually forming Christian leaders. • Christian gay men and lesbian women understanding themselves called of God to seek ministry opportunities within their United Methodist family Church home, but having to decide between leaving to go to accepting denominations, or staying and praying for change, or challenging Our United Methodist Church, ashamed and repentant in the past, ended official and unofficial restrictions on candidacy, ordination and appointment for reason of race, gender and ethnicity. We believe the God we know in Jesus is leading us to issue this counsel and call – a call to transform our church life and our world.

29. SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM (2010, revised 2013, 2016) Sponsor: MFSA and Conference Hispanic Ministries Council 1) The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports comprehensive immigration reform by the U.S. Congress consistent with the Council of Bishops “Statement on the U.S. Immigration Situation” (May 2009) that would: • Provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants • Unite, instead of divide, immigrant families • Increase the number of visas for short-term workers • Extend legal protection and human rights to all workers including immigrants •Eliminate privately operated detention facilities not regulated by federal or state governments • End all indiscriminate raids. 2) Churches are encouraged to engage in ministries of mercy and justice with immigrants such as Bible studies and worship in their languages, pastoral care for immigrants, sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, English as a Second Language classes, and other forms of education that help immigrants experience abundant life.

30. SUPPORT FOR THE COUNCIL OF BISHOPS’ A WAY FORWARD (2016) Sponsor: Rev. Jeremy Smith WHEREAS, the United Methodist General Conference (May 2016) adopted the recommended plan authored by the Council of Bishops entitled A Way Forward, and deferred consideration of all legislation related to human sexuality before the 2016 General Conference; WHEREAS, A Way Forward provides that the Council of Bishops shall appoint a special Commission “to develop a complete examination and possible revision of every paragraph in our Book of Discipline regarding human sexuality” and that the Council of Bishops will “maintain an on-going dialogue with this Commission” and that if they complete their work in time, report to a called General Conference before the regular 2020 General Conference; Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 143

WHEREAS, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports A Way Forward, and endorses the leadership of the Council of Bishops and the 2016 General Conference in its decision to address discrimination against lesbian and gay persons currently in the Book of Discipline; WHEREAS, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference previously expressed its views on human sexuality in the following ways: CHILDREN OF SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (2007, 2010, 2013) CONFRONTING HETEROSEXISM (2010, 2013) LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 304.3 (2011, revised 2014) LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 2702.1(B) (2011, revised 2014) OPEN MEMBERSHIP (2007, 2010, 2013) STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE (2014) A STATEMENT OF CONVICTION (2011, revised 2014) WE WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE (2010, 2013) WHEREAS, Social Principle ¶161F, Book of Discipline provisions ¶341.6 and ¶304.3, and other sections conflict with the Constitution of the United Methodist church which provides that “all persons are of sacred worth,” and “We implore families and churches not to reject or condemn lesbian and gay members and friends. We commit ourselves to be in ministry for and with all persons.” WHEREAS, our United Methodist connection calls us to treat well-intentioned, well-reasoned differences of opinion with mutual respect rather than insisting upon a verdict or language that rejects one side or the other; WHEREAS, we acknowledge the critical importance of carrying out this historic process with the utmost of care, effectiveness, and timing. And, while we agree that establishing the details and naming the members of the Commission are paramount to overall success, we must also acknowledge the harm that grows with each passing day and the importance of preserving momentum and collective trust that this new way forward will not ultimately result in failure as similar Commissions have in our past. We must not repeat past mistakes. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference endorses A Way Forward, commits to being in continued prayer for the Council of Bishops and the Commission throughout the journey ahead, and encourages the Council of Bishops to do the following: 1. Name the members of the A Way Forward Commission as soon as possible but no later than August 1, 2016 and require that the first Commission meeting be convened within 60 days of the Commission members being appointed; 2. Among the members of the Commission, include out LGBTQI persons so that such voices will be represented in what will otherwise be a conversation about LGBTQI persons by heterosexual, cisgender persons. Such a conversation will lack integrity if LGBTQI voices are not included; 3. Authorize and encourage the Commission to seek out and invite established experts to provide information as needed, including but not limited to: medical experts whose focus is human sexuality, advocates and counselors in the field, and survivors and experts in sexual assault, trauma and gender equity. 4. Provide a forum for the Commission to receive input from individual churches and members, perhaps through and with the cooperation of the Annual Conferences. 5. Report to the Annual Conferences at least once each quarter on the progress of the work of the Commission; 6. Provide a final report at least two months in advance of any called General Conference that shall take up any necessary legislation to implement the recommendations of the Commission; 7. Provide continued leadership and a commitment to unity during this interim and vulnerable period, agreeing to a moratorium on the processing of any current or future complaints related to Discipline paragraphs having to do with human sexuality until the General Conference is reconvened. 144 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 31. SUPPORT FOR THE RELIGIOUS COALITION FOR REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE (2016) Sponsor: Rev. Eilidh Lowery WHEREAS, The United Methodist Church was a founding member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice in 1973; and WHEREAS, the General Board of Church and Society was a member of the Religious Coalition until General Conference 2016, along with national organizations from 14 denominations who are current members, including the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalism, Reform and Conservative Judaism; and WHEREAS, these Coalition member organizations hold a wide variety of views regarding policies relating to specific issues of reproductive choice such as when life and personhood begins but, nevertheless, share common religious values, have official pro-choice policies, and are committed to working together to ensure reproductive choice for all persons through the moral power of religious communities; and WHEREAS, the Religious Coalition supports the right of all persons to have access to a wide range of reproductive health services including sexuality education, family planning services, contraception, abortion services, affordable and quality health and child care; and WHEREAS, the Religious Coalition’s All Options Clergy Counseling program trains clergy of many faiths to assist women in discerning the course of action that they believe is best in a case of unintended pregnancy; and WHEREAS, internationally, the Religious Coalition is an accredited nongovernmental organization with the United Nations Department of Public Information which supports international family planning services in such areas as South Africa where the Coalition works with churches on HIV/AIDS education and prevention; and WHEREAS, the Coalition’s efforts help counter attempts to enact restrictive legislation that would impose specific religious views about abortion and reproductive health on persons of all faiths; and Therefore, be it resolved, that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church go on record in support of the work of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

32. SUPPORT THE ABOLITION OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING (2009; revised 2012, renewed 2015) Sponsor: MFSA & Corvallis 1st United Methodist Church The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Luke 4:18-19 The plight of human trafficking is not only one of the world’s most prevalent forms of criminal activity but arguably the most degrading, preying on the most vulnerable members of society. Human trafficking is defined by the United Nations as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people, either by threat, abduction, deception or abuse of power for the purpose of sexual or labor-related exploitation. According to the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report 2010, the number of adults and children worldwide currently in forced labor, bonded labor and forced prostitution was 12.3 million people, with more people being victims of labor trafficking than of commercial sex trafficking. However, women and children represent 80 percent of those affected. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church supports the abolition of the Modern slave trade, or human trafficking as it is called now, that is happening worldwide, in the U.S. and in Oregon and Idaho. Because our two states have major interstate highways intersecting north-south (I-5) and east-west (I-84) with access to Pacific coastline ports, and need many agricultural and service laborers, we are among the states highest in human trafficking. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church strongly urges all local churches to participate in the 2009-2012 quadrennium study of “Abolition of Sex Trafficking,” as approved and recorded in the General Conference 2012 Book of Resolutions (Resolution 6023, p709). Within Methodism, both United Methodist Women/UMW and United Methodist Committee on Relief/UMCOR have vibrant programs and projects that serve people in the U.S. and overseas who’ve survived human trafficking. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 145

We continue to call all local churches in our Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to help end human trafficking here and around the world: (1) by studying the excellent, free, 30 page pdf UMW resource packet, “Human Trafficking: Preventing, Protecting, Prosecuting” (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umw/act/ ) click ‘Human Trafficking’; (2) by inviting UMW members to present this information on Human Trafficking to your congregation or several congregations jointly; and (3) by supporting UMW and UMCOR in their important work with human trafficking victims (UMCOR link: (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/UMCOR/search/index.cfm?keywords=Human)

33. SUPPORTING DISCUSSION OF HOMELESS PERSONS’ RIGHTS (2016) Sponsor: Spirit of the Valley UMC at Halsey The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference is deeply concerned about the rights of all people. At this time of local, state and national discernment about the rights of homeless persons, we are reminded of our ethical and biblical mandate to serve Jesus through caring for person in need of shelter, food, and support.

Therefore, we support local, state and national efforts to ensure the rights of homeless persons and encourage local congregations and ministries to discern their part in protecting the righs of and addressing the needs of homeless persons.

We urge local congregations and ministries to consider these rights, put forward by the Homeless Bill of Rights Campaign: 1. The Right to move freely, rest, sleep, and pray in public. 2. The Right to occupy a vehicle. 3. The Right to share and eat food in public. 4. The Right to legal counsel for infractions. 5. The Right to 24-hour access to existing hygiene facilities. 6. Require judges to consider necessity defense when hearing homeless-related cases.

34. SUPPORTING MIDDLE EAST PEACE EFFORTS (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We call upon the churches of the United Methodist Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to seek ways to advocate for supporting peace efforts in the Middle East, involving our national elected leaders and our Pentagon staff and State Department leaders and military contractors. United Methodists may work in a supportive way by various actions--signing petitions, phoning our legislators, talking with our national officials and with staff in their local offices, and participating in marches and vigils to work for peace in the Middle East. We can join with other United Methodists and people of faith to help support renewal, human rights and justice. In 2010 a massive, popular movement of uprisings, revolution and change spread around many countries in the Middle East. People in the Middle East were upset with harsh dictators, ineffective governments and failing economies, with many people experiencing crushing poverty. With many protestors worldwide using non-violent actions, people hoped to change the status quo, but with limited or little success over these 4 years. Another critical human rights issue arose in the summer of 2014, the war between Gaza Strip and Israel, called Operation Protective Edge, for 7 weeks in July-August. The number of Israeli killed were 66 soldiers and 6 civilians, with 469 soldiers and 87 civilians wounded. The number of Gazans killed were 2,310 (including 513 children) and around 10,800 civilians were injured. The UN calculated that 520,000 Palestinians were displaced (30% of Gazan population). The UN calculated that more than 7,000 homes for 10,000 families were razed, and another 89,000 homes damaged. Rebuilding costs were calculated to be 4-6 billion dollars, over 20 years. The current situation in the Middle East seems to have stalemated or reversed to even worse. In 2014 we have witnessed failure in the several Middle East countries, which has led to the rise of an extreme terrorist group, ISIS/Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. This is a complex situation. We urge our U.S. and 146 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions world leaders to carefully explore appropriate actions that will eventually help to end the ISIS conflict. We support funds for rebuilding in Gaza. We call on our nation and other nations to work carefully together. We call upon United Methodists and other people of faith to work for peace, to help change policies for the better and to improve human rights for all people. United Methodists still believe war is not the answer.

35. WE ARE A CHURCH FOR ALL GOD’S CHILDREN (2017) Sponsor: OR-ID RUMs; OR-ID Methodist Federation for Social Action We, the People called United Methodists in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, continue to be on a journey to fully welcome all of God’s beloved children to our life and ministry as part of the Body of Christ. We affirm, as stated in the Vision Statement of the Western Jurisdiction, that we are “A home for all God’s people, gathered around a table of reconciliation and transformation.” We affirm the prophetic voice of the Western Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church in extending radical hospitality to all: We cannot accept discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender persons and therefore, we will work toward their full participation at all levels in the life of the church and society. Valuing the voices of those who disagree, we will continue to be in dialogue as we journey together in creative tension. We will continue to be in ministry with all God’s children and celebrate the gifts diversity brings. We will continue to feast at table with all God’s children. (2000 Western Jurisdictional Conference) We open our doors to all persons regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, we open our hearts to those who have been shunned, we open our minds to radical obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even when at odds with The Book of Discipline, in order to further the work of God’s justice and the creation of the beloved community. As a Welcoming and Reconciling Jurisdiction we will take steps of inclusion in the sacred trust of marriage, ordination, and leadership roles for all. (2012 Western Jurisdictional Conference) On May 4, 2017, in response to Judicial Council Decision 1341, the College of Bishops of the Western Jurisdiction issued a pastoral letter – “A Message to The United Methodist Church from the Western Jurisdiction College of Bishops”. We fully support our bishops’ statement and we rejoice with them in celebrating “the good news that Bishop Karen Oliveto is continuing to lead the Mountain Sky Area of The United Methodist Church.” We recognize, with our bishops, that “For many years, the Western part of the United States has been a refuge for LGBTQ persons from across the US and around the world. Our region discrimination, violence, and closets.” With our bishops and fellow United Methodists in the Western Jurisdiction, we “witness daily the gifts and reflections of God’s grace in LGBTQ persons who faithfully serve among us as lay leaders, pastors, district superintendents, and now, as a bishop.” We affirm their belief that what we continue to witness “informs how we do ministry together” and “how Boards of Ordained Ministry approach their work.” We, in turn, are witnesses that the ministry entrusted to us “has been enriched by the fullness of their presence and participation.” Therefore, as a pilgrim people who rest only in the boundless of grace of God in Jesus Christ, we will seek to walk together, even in the tension of our differences, and join our bishops in striving “to be a home for all God’s beloved.”

36. WELCOMING THE MIGRANT IN OUR MIDST (2017) Sponsor: Sanctuary Task Force of the First United Methodist Church of Eugene The vast majority of people now living in Oregon and Idaho are the descendants of immigrants who migrated here seeking safety, security and prosperity. Today, more than 390,000 people in Oregon, and more than 95,000 people in Idaho, were born outside of the United States. Regardless of status and documentation, immigrants and refugees sit in our pews and are behind the pulpits of our churches, and they have added to our witness for Christ as we have all dedicated ourselves to the church’s mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Immigrants and refugees are making immeasurable contributions to our cultural, economic and civic life. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 147 We remember that the writer of Leviticus commands the love of the immigrant, who “shall be to you as the citizen among you” (Leviticus 19:33-34);” and that early in Jesus’ life, he was a refugee to Africa fleeing persecution and violence in his homeland (Matthew 2:13-15). Jesus could not be more clear, that the nations would be judged on the basis of the way they fed the hungry, clothed the naked and cared for prisoners (Matthew 25:31-46). And our Social Principles call us to “we recognize, embrace, and affirm all persons, regardless of country of origin, as members of the family of God (United Meth-odist Book of Discipline, III. The Social Community ¶162 H Rights of Immigrants).” The Oregon-Idaho Conference of The United Methodist Church, as followers of Jesus, repents of the racism and violence that has been directed toward newly arriving migrants from all parts of the world. We express our opposition to any immigration policy that excludes refugees solely on the basis of their religion or national origin. We celebrate the work of our Hispanic Ministry Council and support the formation of an immigration task force by the Conference to help provide guidance to churches seeking to be in ministry to immigrants in our communities. We encourage all churches to educate and equip their members to provide hospitality and welcome to migrants and refugees in their communities, and to take further actions and advocacy for just poli-cies after prayer and discernment. We affirm the ancient right of churches to be sanctuaries for those living in fear for their own safety or the safety of the friends and family, especially our immigrant neighbors who may lack legal status or appropriate documentation. We call upon our political leaders and policy makers to assure our laws affirm the worth, dignity, inherent values and rights of immigrants.

Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries David Armstrong, Chair

This is my first year as chair of the Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries (BCRM), and after three years on the board I’ve gained an entirely new perspective now that I’m leading the organization. I was well familiar with operations at the site level, where we continue to provide a fantastic experience for campers, retreat attenders, and various other groups of every stripe. Faith development, spirit nurturing, community, building relationship with God and one another, worship, and radical hospitality happen every day at our camp and retreat sites. Great food and great fun go hand in hand with great discovery and great healing. Lives are transformed in an environment of love and God’s beautiful creation. All that has been part of camping in Oregon-Idaho for almost 100 years.

What I didn’t realize was how much is happening behind the scenes, especially at the Conference office. After the unexpected but necessary termination of our Executive Director last August, Dan Wilson-Fey, our Conference and BCRM Treasurer, and I served as Co-Interim Directors for about a month and a half. It gave me a new appreciation for both the work of the Executive Director and the number of hours that Dan and the rest of the Conference BCRM staff put towards keeping camp and retreat ministries running so smoothly. I want to personally thank Dan, Geneva, Eric, Janice and all the rest of the Conference staff for their faithful service to Camp and Retreat Ministries.

Luckily, in mid-September Todd Bartlett, then Director at the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center, agreed to step in as Interim Director. Todd hit the ground running and has hired new site directors at Camp Magruder, where Troy Taylor moved up from assistant director, and at Camp Latgawa where Sam Grainger was made permanent after serving as interim director since April 2016. Then, after a nationwide search, Todd emerged as our choice for permanent Executive Director and took over in January, while still serving part time at Collins. Most recently, Todd has chosen Dan Benson as his successor at Alton Collins; Dan began there on May 15. It’s been a year of personnel changes, but we now have great directors at all of the sites, and an Executive Director with deep experience in Oregon-Idaho. I’m thrilled to welcome Todd, Troy, and Sam to their new positions and Dan into the CRM fold.

In September the Camp and Retreat Ministries board met at Sawtooth Camp for the first time, as far as we could determine, in its 48-year history. We met in the beautiful new welcome center that had just been completed, and enjoyed both the hospitality of Dave and Candace Hargreaves and their expertise in leading groups through the challenge course. We continue to make upgrades at our sites to ensure a safe, comfortable, and beautiful experience for our campers of all ages.

In a year of great change in our country, our church, and BCRM, the mission of Camp and Retreat Ministries remains unchanged: “We are a people dedicated to creating quality environments of Christian hospitality and learning,” so that our campers and guests:

• Grow in wisdom and in healthy self-esteem. • Develop lifestyles of loving interdependence with each other and all of creation. • Affirm and expand their faith in God and their service as Christian disciples within God’s world.

With God’s help and yours, Camp and Retreat Ministries will continue to offer God’s beautiful creation and grace to all. Pre-Conference Reports 167

Communications Greg Nelson, Director of Communications

The last thirteen months have been dedicated to connection. The connected church came to the Oregon-Idaho Conference for General Conference; we gathered in Scottsdale, Arizona for Jurisdictional Conference; we held our own annual conference. Each of these offered a great opportunity (and challenge) to tell the story of the people of The United Methodist Church.

The communication efforts of the conference provide up-to-date information for conference and local church leaders as well as resources and training for local churches. Efforts in the last year have focused on helping churches learn about marketing and understand the critical need for churches to have websites that share something about values and ministries.

Working together with Pacific Northwest Conference and the Western Jurisdiction is an increasing component of our conference communication approach. Many groups now meet as dual conference teams to plan and implement a regional strategy. Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest conferences work to coordinate key messages and promote events across conference lines. Western Jurisdiction Communicators meet regularly via teleconference to coordinate work and support each other. Together they support the jurisdictional website and committees.

The Director of Communications oversees the web site, annual conference session technology, public relations and crisis communications, weekly UM Connector, serves on the Ministry Leadership Team and extended cabinet, and provides communication support for conference groups and committees.

Conference communications works to inform and inspire the people of the Oregon-Idaho Conference with resource information for use in local ministry, news of the United Methodist connection, and the stories of vitality in our Oregon-Idaho churches and ministries.

Key events in the last year include: • Hosting General Conference and working with communicators from around the globe to share about the Oregon-Idaho Conference and the city of Portland. Director of Communications, Greg Nelson attended a pre-General Conference briefing in Harare, Zimbabwe to greet delegates and help them be prepared for General Conference. • Working with other Western Jurisdiction Communicators to provide information on the Western Jurisdictional Conference, episcopal election, and assignment of bishops to areas for the new quadrennium. • Providing ongoing support for presentations and messaging at the Annual Conference session. This year working to implement a shared annual conference that will include both the Oregon- Idaho and Pacific Northwest Conferences.

The conference website is a resource to churches and church leaders and a connection point for information about our conference and ministry settings. In the last year, it has had over 48,000 visits and 162,000 page views. Social media continues to be a growing area of connection. Facebook “likes” have increased 27 percent in the last year.

Social media connections through Facebook and Twitter provide additional channels for connection to churches and individuals. The conference Facebook page is a resource for local churches to share worship reminders and scripture graphics each week.

Over 660,000 emails have been sent to local churches and conference leaders in the last year. Using email as a primary communication method has greatly reduced costs and increased the number of people reached with news, resources, updates, and invitations. It is critical that clergy and conference leaders keep the conference up-to-date about email addresses. Updates should be sent to district offices. 168 Pre-Conference Reports

Hispanic Ministry Jorge Rodriguez F., Coordinator

We thank God for the opportunity to work together to reach out, integrate and equip our brothers and sisters from the large Hispanic community within our conference. We are grateful for the support of our conference cabinet, clergy, and churches within our network who have relied on the leadership of Hispanic brothers and sisters who are leaders in their ministries and who work day by day in this challenge of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

The Hispanic ministry is moving forward, growing and pursuing our goals for 2024 of having 15 faith communities in our conference.

STRATEGIC PLAN This plan was designed during several meetings, consultations and work with local leaders, pastors, youth, National Hispanic Plan, members of the conference cabinet and the Hispanic conference committee.

Conference Lay Leader Board of Lay Ministry Jan Nelson, chair

It has been my privilege to serve as your conference lay leader this year. The first thing I learned was how many gaps there were in my understanding of this role and of the concerns of the laity in Idaho and Oregon, and I have been working this year to fill those gaps. I have had a great gift and partner in this work in Emilie Kroen, our associate lay leader. I thank God for all the laity who continually show passion and creativity in the work of making disciples of Jesus and transforming the world.

The most visible role of the lay leader is to serve on a number of conference committees and boards. In these places, particularly the Ministry Leadership Team and the Annual Conference Sessions Team, I have worked to express the concerns and perspective of laity and to make our conference ministries most effective for lay participation.

The role I most treasure is to participate in the concerns and joys lay people have in their ministries. In this I have been less active than I would like to be, and I hope to improve in the coming year. I welcome the opportunity to visit your churches and ministries, to hear your stories, and to listen to your concerns. I want to celebrate with you when things are great and help you fix things when they are not.

The Board of Lay Ministry is working to equip laity across the conference to carry out the mission of the church. A primary focus is assessing current training and enrichment opportunities. We want to know if the conference is offering the training people feel they need in a way they are able and willing to access it. Another effort of the Board is to seek better ways of sharing and celebrating the work of the church and the laity across the conference. We hope that people will look at what is working in another church and be inspired for ministry in their own areas.

All of this work is ongoing, and all feedback is welcome. Please contact the conference or district lay leaders or lay speaking coordinators with any suggestions of how to better encourage the work of the laity in our conference. 170 Pre-Conference Reports Mission and Ministry Lowell Greathouse, Mission and Ministry Coordinator

It is hard to believe that just over a year ago we hosted the UMC General Conference in Portland. That event, and the gracious (and tireless) hospitality that so many of you were involved in, helped remind all of us in the annual conference that we belong to a global church and a connectional system. My role, as Mission and Ministry Coordinator, is a part of this larger UMC system. However, my goal is to make this work relevant to how we function as a network of local congregations attempting to maximize our impact in the world as we make disciples of Jesus Christ. I am also interested in doing this in a manner that reconnects us to the “movement” spirit that marked Methodism in its earliest days.

During the past year, I continued to relate to a number of grassroots efforts, such as the University Park Affordable Housing Project, Hispanic new starts, and other innovative community-based experiments so that the larger institution could benefit from what we are learning in the field. In addition, I’ve attempted to develop and align the various parts of our annual conference program structure, so that they function more effectively and work as a part of the Greater Northwest Area.

I am currently working to re-align the Ministry Leadership Team within the annual conference governance structure, and serve in a staff role with CONAM, the Global Mission Team, the Hispanic Ministry Council, the Board of Laity, Campus Ministry, Youth Ministry, and various church and society related matters in order to accomplish this. I have also gathered the Annual Conference program directors on a monthly basis, so that we can coordinate our work more effectively. Some of this may not seem to make a difference at the local church level, but we enhance our common work as a connectional church when we are working together and sharing and learning about innovative ministry from each other.

My goal is to have the center and edges of our annual conference communicate in ways that make our connectional structure work for the advancement of our ministry. One of the ways I do this is through Spirit Alive, which is sent to over 3,500 lay and clergy leaders in the annual conference two times each month. As a part of this communication, I profile creative approaches to ministry that take place at a local church level. At the same time, thanks to funding from The Collins Foundation and the National Hispanic/Latino Plan, we are able to engage in a variety of lay leadership efforts and work in several targeted areas of ministry. As a result, we have made significant progress in terms of Hispanic Ministry (i.e. developing another Hispanic New Start Ministry in the Salem-Keizer area) and lay leadership development (e.g. the Radical Compassion trainings with Dr. Frank Rogers).

I continue to be a part of the Greater Northwest (GNW) Area Cabinet, which means coordinating a number of joint ventures with the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, including the Cross-Cultural, Cross-Racial Retreats for clergy, coordinating the Radical Compassion Workshops with Dr. Frank Rogers, participating in the Certified Lay Ministry training, holding GNW Area CONAM Retreats for our Native American leaders, and helping to plan this year’s Shared Annual Conference Session.

Part of my responsibility is to connect with the larger church, and I do this on our behalf as an annual conference, participating in the Western Jurisdictional Mission Cabinet, the WJ Hispanic Ministry Council, and the WJ Korean Ministry Council, as well as connecting with the Association of Directors of Connectional Ministry nationally.

It is a privilege to work in this capacity and connect with so many of you in the process. Even as we continue to see great changes in what the institution of the church looks like, it is also clear that there is great innovation and creativity taking place within the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. I look forward to our work together in the coming year. Pre-Conference Reports 171 Peace with Justice Claudia Roberts, Conference Peace with Justice Coordinator

In 2016 we were reminded of how much we are in need of peace and justice in our country and in the world. People seem to be very fearful and respond with anger and hatred to address this fear without understanding that the emotional opposite of fear is love. We, as Christians, strive to respond to the fear and anger around us by responding with God’s LOVE.

The United Methodist Peace with Justice Program is one way we as Methodists respond in love to the injustices around the world. Every project we support, every person we help with scholarships, every issue we raise up to the light helps to counter the angst in our communities.

Many United Methodists do not know that the special offering we take in our churches is used to fund projects around the world and in our own conferences. Fifty percent of the donations stay in the conference and fifty percent goes to the General Board of Church and Society to fund larger projects in the US and worldwide. If your church has stopped collecting this special offering one Sunday a year, consider reinstating this offering. The amount of the offering is not as important as knowing that your church is contributing toward projects that are making a difference locally, nationally, and in the world. If you need resources like flyers, envelopes, or videos to help tell the story of this fund, just let me know.

Last summer we received a grant request from Payette United Methodist Church to put on a back-to- school event for grade school children. This is what they proposed. “We plan to invite our neighborhood K-5 students to our church to collect the school supplies they will need for the school year. We will serve lunch and then invite the kids in to go through a ‘store’ to get the supplies they need. Each child will be escorted by a member of our congregation.

“We want our neighborhood kids who are mostly Hispanic to experience exactly what the other kids do! We plan to get the word out by placing flyers on the doors of all houses in our direct neighborhood. We will also have the flyers available at the local school which serves free lunch to kids all summer. The flyers will be in English and Spanish. We also have a sandwich board made up to put out in front of our church. We will have a bounce house for the kids to play in after collecting their supplies.”

And Cris Warzyn reported after the event, “Our School Supply Fair was a huge success! We had so many people show up to help and so many children come to get supplies! Our hours were from 11-1 and by noon all of our supplies were gone! We took names and will do our best to get everyone who showed up ready for school before school starts. I had said if one parent was relieved or blessed by our generosity it would all be worth it and that happened over and over again today. We blessed and were blessed for sure!” She later reported that the teachers were so happy the first day of school when their students showed up with all of their supplies.

This qualifies as a Peace with Justice project because it allows disadvantaged students to start school on an even playing field, better prepared to learn. It strengthens the sense of love and caring in the whole community.

Another thing that happened this year was working with Close the Gap in Idaho to expand Medicaid. We also provided partial scholarships to three young clergy to attend a Young Pastors event sponsored by the General Board of Church and Society.

As your church plans activities for the year, think of how you might benefit from a PWJ grant to help fund an event or provide an educational program on a justice issue or even plant a peace pole. Please contact me, Claudia Jean Roberts at [email protected]. or look for me at Annual Conference. 172 Pre-Conference Reports Commission on Religion and Race Kalina Malua Katoa, Chair

In the past year, our Conference Inter-Cultural Awareness training team led by June Fothergill was able to do another training workshop in the Columbia District. The goal of the CORR Training team is to do two trainings (Spring and Fall) a year. For each training session, we need a host church. Here is June’s report on the training workshop we did this past year.

The Intercultural Training Team of the Oregon-Idaho Commission on Religion and Race was greatly privileged to be asked by the Oregon-Idaho Conference Committee on Native American Ministries to conduct an Inter-Cultural Training for CONAM and others with interest this fall. The training took place Saturday, September 16 at Wilshire United Methodist Native American Fellowship in Portland, Oregon. As is our custom, the training team met the day before to practice and plan for the next day’s training. Members of the Wilshire church fellowship participated on the team and provided hospitality. The training team for this event included: June Fothergill, John Go, Rochelle Killette, Kalina Malua Katoa, Bobbie Edwards, Trudy Pollard, and Richard Flanagan. Other members of the team who could not participate in this training are: Jorge Rodriguez Flores and Gloria Marple. The materials used are from the Kaleidoscope Institute and the Pacific Northwest Conference. This was the second time the team has conducted training without support from the PNW team.

On the training day members of CONAM asked to lead an opening prayer. Eva Johnson, co-chairperson of CONAM, led this prayer time. The day of training included opportunities to learn and practice tools for intercultural communication and understanding. These included: Respectful Communication Guidelines, Mutual Invitation, Kaleidoscope Bible Study, Iceberg Analogy of Culture, Power Analysis and Photo Language. There were also interesting skits, role plays, small and large group discussion and breaks for networking and rest. Native American storyteller, Ed Edmo also shared stories and poems with the group. The last activity was a chance for folks from different regions to talk with one another about how they might use the tools they had learned in their ministries. They were given an opportunity to portray and share these ideas with the whole group. The training ended with a prayer by Eva Johnson and of course pictures and evaluations.

This training was an example of how we on the Intercultural competency training team are willing to adapt to the local needs and situation of any group that asks us to come. We are eager to offer these tools to local churches and other groups of the conference. We believe that they are a good beginning to help our church leaders develop the self-awareness and gifts needed to minister in a multicultural world. The tools are practical, useable ideas that are applicable to a variety of ministry settings. As a multi-ethnic team, we continue to work together to deepen our understanding of each other and ourselves as we can work together for Christ’s mission. If you would like to know more or to schedule training for your church or group, contact Rev. June Fothergill at [email protected].

To conclude this report, I want to thank the members of Team CORR for your dedication in bearing this yoke. We might need to endure splitting to two training teams to meet the training demand in the coming year.

Commission on the Status and Role of Women Lynda Montgomery

The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women, one of 13 general agencies of the United Methodist Church, advocates for full participation of women in the total life of the church. We’re helping the church recognize every person- clergy and lay, women and men-as full and equal parts of God’s human family. We believe that a fully engaged and empowered membership vital to The United Methodist Church’s mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ to transform the world. Pre-Conference Reports 173 This is what we do through training, education, research and monitoring. We address gender discrimination and sexism within church struc-ture, nurture clergy and lay leaders within the church, raise awareness of women’s issues and opportunities, educate church leaders and semi-narians on sexual harassment or abuse, develop guidelines for inclusive and expansive language, monitor annual conferences and the General Conference for inclusiveness.

Our work is far from finished, however. Women comprise more than half of our worldwide membership, yet many U.S. congregations still refuse to accept a woman pastor. Women are underrepresented as clergy, superintendents and bishops. Women are five times more likely than men to be targets of sexual harassment and misconduct in the church.

“Until we fully affirm the dignity and value, the contributions, the theological perspectives, the concerns, hops, the recommendations, and even the discourse of and among women, the United Methodist Church will not be adequately equipped to make of all disciples, to carry a word of hope and peace and love to a broken world, and to demonstrate our authenticity as the incarnation of the life-transforming and barri- er-breaking body of Christ.” Book of Resolution, No 3443

United Methodist Women Karen Morray, Conference President

United Methodist Women is grounded in Scripture and the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church, and in our mission focus on women, youth, and children. Our four Social Action priorities during this quadrennium are: Climate Justice, Mass Incarceration and Criminalization of Communities of Color, Maternal and Child Health, and Income Inequality. Our women have advocated in Boise and Salem, have organized and participated in a rally at General Conference 2016, have educated ourselves at Mission u and at district and unit meetings, and are resolving and acting upon all four priorities locally to globally. In 2016 the United Methodist Women of the Oregon-Idaho Conference gave $116,187.36 to support the mission of United Methodist Women. We also gave over $10,000 as designated gifts. This is “second mile giving,” since most members of United Methodist Women are members of local churches and also give generously to them. With this Mission Giving, we help support 98 Mission Institutions in the United States; over 150 missions with women, youth, and children internationally; scholarships for over 70 international students; and eight Regional Missionaries.

Representatives from Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Women met with other United Methodist Women of the Western Jurisdiction in April 2016. Three women from our conference were elected to serve at the Jurisdictional and National levels: Roz Collins (Gresham UMC, Columbia) to the national Program Advisory Group; and Dixie Jacky (Meridian UMC, Sage) and Paula Sadler (Tigard UMC, Cascadia) to the Western Jurisdiction Executive Team.

Our Gertrude Boyd Crane Scholarships support Oregon-Idaho women studying for church-related professions. In 2016 we awarded the scholarship to Deena Wolfe, Mia (Mikyung) Park, Jenny Willison, and Doreen Barlow (awarded, not accepted).

Our Isobel F. Zimmerman Grant supports leadership development among Native American and African American women and youth in Oregon and Idaho. In 2016 recipients were: Camping and Retreat Ministries to underwrite the participation of Niimiipuu youth at the Wallowa Horse Camp; and to the Lillian Vallely School, a Christian school for Native American youth in Blackfoot, Idaho, to underwrite their cultural arts program.

Mission u, the educational opportunity for United Methodist Women members and others, took place at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center (Oregon) and Nazareth Retreat Center (Idaho) in July 2016. The study topics were: Climate Justice: a Call to Hope and Action; Latin America: People and Faith; and The Bible and Human Sexuality: Claiming God’s Good Gift. We thank our study leaders Rev. John Pitney, Paula Sadler, Jane Morse, and Bonnie McOmber. 174 Pre-Conference Reports Our Annual Meeting took place at Hillview United Methodist Church (Sage) in October 2016, featuring workshops by Marisa Villarreal, Executive for Language Ministries and Leadership Development from National United Methodist Women. Sage District Superintendent Gwen Drake commissioned our new leaders and led us in Communion.

Eight women from Oregon-Idaho Conference attended Leadership Development Days in Tempe, Arizona in November 2016. A focus on Racial Justice was enhanced by art-as-action projects facilitated by “God is in the Graffiti” artists from La Plaza United Methodist Church in Los Angeles.

We encourage clergy leaders to support local units of United Methodist Women with your prayers and presence. According to the Discipline, every United Methodist church “shall have” a unit of UMW. A thriving unit is a sign of a thriving congregation, and a strong unit strengthens its church with its mission focus, leadership, and supportive community. United Methodist Women, organized for mission, develops disciples and transforms the world.

Commission on Archives and History Nancie Fadeley, Chair; Shirley Manning Knepp, Oregon Archivist; Linda Tewksbury and Steve Walker, Idaho Archivists

The Oregon part of the Oregon-Idaho Conference Archives and History, located in the MICAH building at Salem First UMC, has undergone many changes this year. New shelving and bookcases and different placement of material has increased the space for closed churches and the anticipated Methodist material from Willamette University. Volunteer, Laura Arksey, has done a colossal job of sorting closed church materials. She has inventoried Sunnyside, Dundee, Estacada, St. Paul Center (Springfield), Dillard-Winston and Bennett Chapel. A great emphasis this year has been getting the archives of the closed churches inventoried, labeled, and shelved. This includes Methodist Episcopal South, Methodist Protestant Church, Primitive Methodist, United Evangelical Church, Church of United Brethren, Evangelical Church, Evangelical Association, United Brethren of Christ, Evangelical United Brethren, and ethnic churches: Hispanic, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Japanese, Korean and Native American. We have added about 500 new files to our archives.

A coffee server, presented to Rev. John Denison in 1891 by the Port Townsend (Washington) Methodist Episcopal Church, was brought to the archives by his descendants. This was returned to the Port Townsend church in October 2016. Shirley presented a Powerpoint program on the life of Rev. Denison to the congregation.

The Archives participated in the Willamette Heritage Center’s invitational heritage organizations exhibit. Our display showcased the collections and services of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Archives.

As part of the General Conference held in Portland, a luncheon for the Bishop’s spouses was held at Salem First UMC. There was a large display of material from the archives for the guests to browse.

Shirley and Don Knepp attended the Archivists’ meeting in Madison, New Jersey in August. They will be attending the Western Jurisdiction Historical Society meeting in Anchorage, Alaska in June. Shirley will be one of the speakers. Her program will highlight two Oregon-Idaho pastors, Grace Weaver and William Sherman Burgoyne, and one national evangelist, Harry Denman. Pre-Conference Reports 175 Commission on Equitable Compensation Daryl Blanksma, chair

The Commission on Equitable Compensation is charged by The Book of Discipline with recommending to the Annual Conference standards for pastoral support.

The Commission on Equitable Compensation recommends that for 2018 the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference fix the minimum base compensation, including the use of a parsonage, at the following rates: • Elder in Full Connection/Associate Member: $38,800 • Provisional Member: $36,950 • Local Pastor: $34,900 This recommendation represents at 2.5% increase over what was approved for 2017.

In addition, the minimum cash salary shall be increased by $100 per year of service in the United Methodist Church, capped at a maximum of ten years or $1,000.

Compensation from the local church includes cash salary, utilities allowance and a home for the pastor’s use. We encourage churches and clergy to allocate compensation in ways that will assist clergy and their families to retain as great a portion of their income as is legally possible. Moving money out of cash salary and into a utilities allowance or a housing allowance could lower the amount clergy pay in taxes. Be sure to seek qualified assistance in making decisions that will affect tax liabilities.

The Commission on Equitable Compensations recommends the following housing guidelines relating to compensation:

1. If an adequate parsonage is not available for the use of the pastor, then a housing allowance shall be paid in addition to the above minimum compensation as part of the total compensation package. A two-tier formula will be applied with a housing allowance set at $12,789 for most areas of the Annual Conference and $14,920 for areas with unusually high housing costs. 2. For the purposes of housing policy, every parsonage will be considered as meeting the minimum compensation package. This is true whether the clergy are working full-time or part-time.

3. In lieu of a parsonage, churches will pay a housing allowance to the clergy as part of the total compensation package. The allowance will be at least commensurate to the percentage of employment (e.g. one quarter-time receives one quarter the housing allowances, one half-time receives one half the housing allowance.)

4. Churches and pastors may apply for an exemption to housing allowance recommendations under certain conditions. For example, a pastor already has a house in the area, or adequate housing is easily available in the local community for a lesser rate. If the Commission does not grant an exemption, the church must pay the housing portion of the ministerial compensation package.

The Commission also recommends, but cannot require, that a reimbursement for travel and professional expenses be set at no less than $3,500 annually. This is the same amount as last year. This reimbursement is not part of the pastor’s compensation and should be included as part of the administrative budget of the church, not part of salary. For IRS purposes, churches should be sure they have adopted an Account Reimbursement Policy which is available from their district office.

The Commission has requested that the Council on Finance and Administration budget $25,000 for the Equitable Compensation Fund for 2018, and budget $1,000 for the administrative costs of the Commission. Because unused funds requested in prior years have accumulated in the Equitable Compensation Fund reserve account, CF&A is not recommending additional funding through the 2018 budget. 176 Pre-Conference Reports Council on Finance and Administration Rick Beadnell, Chair

The conference year was one of beginnings. We started it with a new Bishop, a new Director of Stewardship and Finance, a new President of the Council on Finance and Administration (CF&A), and many new members on the Council. It has quickly become clear that CF&A is passionate about making sure that the way we spend our conference resources is closely aligned with the priorities set by our Area Cabinet and Ministry Leadership Team.

CF&A would like to thank the conference employees who make up our Office of Stewardship and Finance under Treasurer Dan Wilson-Fey’s supervision. This is a small, dedicated group of hardworking people who handle a myriad of finance and accounting challenges. Previous audits have acknowledged the quality of bookkeeping and accounting that are taking place.

Looking back on calendar year 2016 Several factors contributed to a successful budget year in 2016: • 121 of our 191 churches paid 100% or more of their apportioned share • The percentage of apportionments paid to conference grew to 82%, up from 78.5% in 2015 • Our spending plan was based on this 2015 percentage • Stewardship of our budget stakeholders, who came in under the spending plan

Meanwhile, we paid our General Conference and Jurisdictional Conference apportionments at 100% in 2016, in spite of the 18% gap between what was apportioned to our churches and what was received.

The audit of the 2016 calendar year books is underway and the results will be reported at our Annual Conference.

Quick peek at the first quarter of calendar year 2017 The 2017 apportioned budget approved by our last Annual Conference is $3,746,156. CF&A established a spending plan based on projected apportionment payments at 80%, which amounts to $2,997,046. First quarter 2017 apportionment payments are about 2% behind 2016’s first quarter results.

The Investment Subcommittee is working to complete the divestiture from Caterpillar, HP, and Motorola as directed by our Annual Conference. This has been completed in cases where the Conference had a private pool of funds where we controlled what investments were purchased. It has taken longer to be able to divest in cases where we were members of a non-private pool of investments. Such is the case with our investments in Wespath through the Northwest United Methodist Foundation. Wespath has gone out of its way to try to accommodate our requirements with new funds that will be available to us in the June timeframe.

Looking forward to calendar year 2018 Back in November, CF&A began to work on its budget plan for 2018. All budget stakeholders were asked to submit written budget requests and narrative reasoning by January 5th. The response was excellent, and we proceeded to a series of budget information sessions where CF&A was able to ask questions of the major stakeholders for an even better understanding. The work culminated in a budget meeting with Bishop Stanovsky in early April.

CF&A is recommending to the Annual Conference an overall budget of $7,401,666. This is a 2.3% increase over 2017, and includes a 2% cost of living increase for employees. Remember that apportioned revenue is only one part of the revenue picture. Other parts include direct billed pension and health benefits, grants, sale of closed churches, reserves and miscellaneous income.

CF&A is recommending an apportioned budget of $3,363,533. This represents a decrease of 8.8% from 2017. Pre-Conference Reports 177 CF&A Goals for 2018 and beyond • Work diligently with the revitalized MLT to ensure that we are spending funds in line with the priorities that have been established for our Conference • Continue to strengthen the processes around developing the budget • Work to decrease the apportionment to payment gap • Create a narrative budget to help tell the story of our priorities and spending • Communicate with churches and members to help them understand what they are getting for their apportioned dollars • Examine the possibility of going to an apportionment calculation based on church income rather than on expenditures • Faithfully steward the financial resources of the Annual Conference.

ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

1. Between sessions of the Annual Conference, the Council on Finance and Administration shall implement a spending plan based upon anticipated receipts and projected expenses.

2. The first 200 miles to the Annual Conference session will be exempted from mileage reimbursement.

3. Lay Members entitled to reimbursement under Conference Rule 1.030 will be reimbursed for housing and meals while attending the session; the maximum amount of reimbursement is set at $453.08 for 2017.

4. The Oregon-Idaho Conference Council on Finance and Administration is authorized to borrow up to $500,000 on an open line of credit to cover essential and authorized expenditures during intervals dictated by cash flow needs. Interest on such borrowed funds will be paid from the “Contingency” reserve fund.

5. The General Fund is maintained and administered by the Council on Finance and Administration. The General Fund reserve (balance) provides working capital (cash flow) for the operation of the Conference, emergencies, and for unexpected needs that arise from time to time. The annual net operating results in the budget funds not otherwise designated will provide the basis for the General Fund reserve. The General Fund reserve needs to be large enough ($1.3 million) to support several months of operating expenses for the Conference – to act as a cash flow.

6. The following organizations are given permission to solicit funds among the churches of the Conference without quota:

• Willamette University • Pacific School of Religion • Alaska Pacific University • Rust College • United Methodist Campus Ministries of the Conference • Willamette View Foundation • Willson House, Salem • Clergymates Emergency Fund • Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon • Northwest United Methodist Foundation • Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Minister’s Retirement Fund • Partnership with Liberia Annual Conference • Oregon-Idaho Camp and Retreat Ministries 178 Pre-Conference Reports

Board of Ordained Ministry Clay Andrew, Chair

The Board of Ordained Ministry continues its work to recruit, nurture, prepare and credential gifted and called people for ministerial leadership in our annual conference. This season in the life of our conference and denomination brings both challenges and opportunities to the Board’s work. In every area of our connectional life and ministry, rapidly changing cultural, economic, and ecclesial realities challenge us to discern new ways to minister to our world.

Over several years, the Board has been engaged in an ongoing conversation about the future of ministry and ministerial leadership in our conference and in the United Methodist Church as a whole. As a result of that conversation, the Board submitted legislation to the 2016 General Conference, which clarified the Board’s role with all areas of ministerial leadership (e.g., Licensed Local Pastors, Certified Lay Ministers, et. al.), and would have changed the name of the Board of Ordained Ministry to “The Board of Ministerial Leadership.” The General Conference did adopt that legislation, although it was significantly altered in the committee process. Nonetheless, some of the language suggested by our Board (but not including the name change) was adopted at General Conference. (See Paragraph 635.2.a in the Book of Discipline to see those changes.) The Board remains committed to leading our denomination in thoughtful, prayerful conversation about ministry and ministerial leadership.

We are grateful that our candidate class for 2017 includes one person recommended to the clergy session for ordination and four people recommended to the clergy session for commissioning. These excellent candidates are already serving us well and will continue to bring life-giving leadership as they grow in their gifts for ministry and service.

In the coming months, the Board will be re-invigorating the mentoring process, continuing to develop the Candidacy Summit and Orientation to Ministry, and will continue exploring ways to address the challenges of ministry leadership in our unique setting. The Board will continue to work with the Bishop and the Cabinet, the District Committees on Ordained Ministry, and the other boards, agencies and councils in our conference to nurture excellence in ministry in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.

Conference Board of Pensions Danna Drum, Chair

The Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP) oversees the health and wellness benefits and pension and welfare plans for annual conference clergy and lay staff. Over the last year, the CBOP has focused on three areas: 1) Develop recommendations for changes to the health insurance plan to increase plan choice for participants and help achieve greater cost containment for the annual conference, participants and ministry settings, 2) Update the current Health Reimbursement Account Benefit for Retired Clergy, and 3) Evaluate current financial reserves to assure the CBOP remains adequately funded to meet its obligations to active and retired clergy well into the future.

Health Insurance Health insurance benefits continue to be provided through the Wespath HealthFlex Program. Claims experience continues to concern the CBOP; in 2016, claims paid totaled over 155% of premiums paid; thus, premiums will see an overall increase of seven percent in 2018. To increase plan choice and help with cost containment, the CBOP recommends the annual conference move to Wespath’s HealthFlex Exchange program in 2018.

Participants will have six different plans from which to select as well as dental and vision coverage options. Both currently offered plans will continue to be available through the HealthFlex Exchange. Participants will receive a defined contribution, funded through a combination of a blended rate billed to local ministry settings and approximately $100,000 in CBOP reserves. Participants will select the insurance Pre-Conference Reports 179 plan that best meets their needs and pay any additional premium costs beyond the defined contribution. If a participant selects a plan with a premium cost lower than the defined contribution, the balance of the defined contribution will be credited to a Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Account, depending on the plan chosen.

Health Reimbursement Account Benefit for Retired Clergy The Board of Pensions is in its fifth year of providing a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) benefit for retired clergy. While the stipend amounts will remained unchanged in 2018, the CBOP recommends the following updated HRA eligibility policy:

Participation: Retiree must have been enrolled in the active HealthFlex program in the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area (Oregon-Idaho, Alaska and Pacific Northwest) for at least 5 years of the last 10 years prior to retirement and a member of the Oregon-Idaho Conference at the time of retirement.

Years of Service Eligibility: 1. “Years of Service’ is defined as years of service with pension and benefit claim upon the denominational pension plans (Pre82, MPP & CRSP). 2. Years of Service applies to years served as clergy under appointment within the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area effective September 1, 2012. Retirement Prior to Age 65/Medicare Eligibility: 1. Clergy retiring with 40 or more years of service will be eligible for the HRA stipend, however, the stipend may not be used to pay health insurance premiums until the retiree is enrolled in Medicare. 2. Clergy retiring with less than 40 years of service may opt to remain on the HealthFlex “active” insurance plan and pay the total cost of the premium until s/he reaches the age of 65 and is enrolled in Medicare. Or the retiree may opt to find other coverage outside the HealthFlex active plan and then apply for the stipend once s/he reaches the age of 65 and is enrolled in Medicare. Clergy Couples: For clergy couples in which both clergy persons qualify for the subsidy, the years of service of the spouse with the highest level will be used to determine the couple subsidy regardless of who was officially listed as the participant at the time of retirement unless calculating the subsidy for each individual clergy person as singles results in the greatest benefit.

2018 HRA Benefit for Retired Clergy Single Couple Retirees with more than 20 years of pre-82 $2,163 $4,326 Retirees who retired before January 1, 2011: At least 5 but fewer than 10 years of service $618 $1,236 At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $1,236 $2,472 At least 20 but fewer than 30 years of service $1,545 $3,090 30 or more years of service $1,854 $3,708 Retirees who retired after December 31, 2010: At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $927 $1,391 At least 20 but fewer than 30 years of service $1,236 $1,854 30 or more years of service $1,854 $2,781

Note: Years of service apply to years of service in the Oregon-Idaho, Pacific Northwest and Alaska Conferences with pension and benefit claim upon the conference or Wespath. The HRA stipend cannot be used to pay for health insurance premiums if the retiree is not enrolled in Medicare. If the retiree is enrolled in Medicare, the stipend can be used to offset Medicare or Medicare supplement premiums. According to the IRS, if a retiree is not enrolled in Medicare, the stipend can only be used to pay medical, dental or vision out-of-pocket expenses but not premiums. 180 Pre-Conference Reports HEALTH BENEFITS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACTION: The CBOP presents the following health benefits recommendations to the 2017 Annual Conference Session for consideration and action: 1. The Conference Board of Pensions, in consultation with the Council on Finance and Administration, is authorized to adjust the Conference Budget for Health Insurance Premiums and the monthly billed amount between sessions of the Annual Conference, if necessary, due to the receipt of new premium rate information from Wespath. 2. The Conference Board of Pensions is authorized to adopt new eligibility policies as required by Wespath for the HealthFlex Program. These policies may include procedures for the cancellation of coverage due to various circumstances. The effective date of these policies will be determined as required by Wespath. 3. The Conference Treasurer is authorized to bill $1294 per month to local churches and 100% of the premiums to other participants’ ministry settings to support the defined contribution toward health insurance benefits. Participants will pay any difference between the defined contribution amount and the total premium for the plan and benefit options they select. 4. The CDHP C2000P2 with vision exam coverage and no dental coverage will be the default plan. The Defined Contribution for active HealthFlex Exchange participants in 2018 will be as follows: Single Participant $8652 Participant + Spouse $16,092 Participant + Family $20,568 5. The retiree health insurance plan is a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) stipend based on the number of years of service in the Oregon-Idaho, Pacific Northwest and Alaska Conferences per the eligibility policy and table above. 6. The following Health Insurance policies will be continued: a. No premium subsidy or stipend will be granted to participants retiring prior to the age of their Medicare eligibility. They shall be responsible for the full payment of their health insurance premium. Those who are eligible to retire under the forty-year rule (¶357.2c)) will be granted an exception to receive the retired subsidy or stipend for their medical expenses. Upon reaching the age for Medicare eligibility, and enrolling in the Medicare program, the clergy member shall be eligible for conference subsidy or stipend based on the then current schedule as approved by the annual conference. b. The conference shall pay 100 percent of the premium payment for those persons eligible for benefits under the CPP Disability program. After one year the conference will pay the premium for the participant and 50 percent of the premium for the spouse and/or family.

Pension and Welfare Plans Due to changes made to retirement benefits by previous General Conferences, there are three retirement plans for which the Conference Board of Pensions has responsibility: the Pre-82 Pension Plan, Ministerial Pension Plan, and the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP). Depending on when clergy began their service, they may receive retirement benefits from one to three of these plans. CRSP was most recently modified in 2013. Funding for CRSP is supported through direct billings to local congregations at 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation. All three plans are still fully funded.

The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides clergy death benefits, survivor children benefits, minimum surviving spouse benefits, and long-term disability benefits. CPP funding is also directly billed to the local churches or to the appropriate salary-paying unit.

The CBOP continues to be fully funded for these plans, but with changes in the actuarial tables for the industry, we are currently working with Wespath to complete a comprehensive review of all CBOP reserve funds to determine if any funding needs to be adjusted to assure we can meet all future liabilities for these benefits.

PENSION AND WELFARE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS The Conference Board of Pensions presents the following pension and welfare plan-related recommendations for your consideration and action: Pension and Welfare Plans 1. Effective January 1, 2018, the Pre-82 (MRPF) past service rate for ordained clergy and local pastors shall be $615 per service year, with 70 percent continuing payment to the surviving spouse, and that Addendum A of the Clergy Retirement Security Program be so amended. 2. Concerning the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church for CRSP at the rate of 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation (including cash salary plus utilities and housing allowance [25% of cash salary if parsonage is provided]) for eligible clergy. Cash salary includes deductions from payroll and any contributions toward social security. Local churches served by retired clergy are exempt from this billing. 3. The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church (with a pastor appointed three- quarter time or full time) at a rate of 3.0 percent of the pastor’s plan compensation for the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) for eligible clergy. 4. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Portland, Oregon, June 14-17, 2017, approves the Addendum: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. 5. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Portland, Oregon, June 14-17, 2017 approves the 2018 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan for the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, as submitted by the Conference Board of Pensions and approved by Wespath.

Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference 2018 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan Summary The 2016 Book of Discipline ¶ 1506.6 requires that each annual conference develop, adopt and implement a formal comprehensive funding plan for funding all of its benefit obligations. The funding plan shall be submitted annually to Wespath for review and be approved annually by the annual conference, following the receipt and inclusion of a favorable written opinion from Wespath. This summary document is only a portion of the information contained in the actual signed funding plan. As such, it might not contain all the information required for a comprehensive view of the benefit obligations of the conference. You may request the full contents of the 2018 comprehensive benefit funding plan from the conference benefits office. 182 Pre-Conference Reports ADDENDUM: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference

The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for active, retired, terminated, 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 active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as an appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for Clergypersons who are or were members of this Conference and are eligible to receive such deferred compensation;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: THAT an amount equal to 100% of the pension, severance, 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 Wespath, during the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, to each active, retired, terminated, or 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; and THAT the pension, severance, or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance designation applies will be any pension, severance, or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from Wespath and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefits accrued under a Wespath plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, a terminated, or a 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 benefit under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson’s pension, severance, or disability plan benefit 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 (and, in most cases, state) income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2), and regulations thereunder, to the least of: (a) 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 resolutions) for such year; (b) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or (c) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Each clergyperson or former clergyperson is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor to determine what deferred compensation is eligible to be claimed as a housing allowance exclusion.

Safe Sanctuaries Team Report Warren Light

“God cares for all. God suffers when children, youth, and vulnerable adults suffer. The United Methodist church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God . . . [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulnerable and support for survivors of sexual violence. This [policy] is a core missional statement . . . .” Template for Risk Reduction and Prevention Policies for Local Ministry Settings

Budget support in 2016 enabled the Team to lead trainings for over 30 churches, lead Safe Sanctuary worship, review policies of over 20 churches, and empower young adults to lead in this work. A Spanish translation of the Template [Policy] is being created as of this writing.

More follow-up with local ministry on policy writing, training, and events will be forthcoming. We encourage anyone with questions or ideas to contact us through your District office.

After six years of leading the team, Warren will be off the Safe Sanctuaries Team staring July 1, 2017. We have made some great progress during this time. New leadership will create new perspectives for growing in our work. Thank you.

Statistician’s Report Ted Wimer, Conference Statistician

We keep records of what is going on in each of our congregations. One reason is to help the local church see trends for how effective our local ministries and missions are. On a broader view, there are indicators which help us find areas of vitality in our Annual Conference. The General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) collects these numbers from all of the Annual Conferences and compiles the data for the General Boards and Agencies in order to see trends and to plan ahead.

Even though all of the churches have not completed supplying their data, we can see some trends in the data. The 2016 total Professing Membership in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was 24,400; a 4% decrease from 2015. During this period we saw a similar percentage decrease in the number of “Constituents,” a measure that had been increasing for several years. Worship attendance decreased approximately 7%. The number of persons participating in Christian formation groups increased overall during 2016, with the majority of the increase (8%) in the “Children” category. Sunday School attendance and VBS both decreased in 2016, as did other classes numbers; except for “ongoing classes for learning (all ages) other than Sunday School” which increased by 9%!

The number of persons served by community outreach is up by 5%, to 293,620 persons. The number of “persons engaged in mission” increased by 50%, to 11,333! The Number of People served by community ministries for Daycare increased 7%. These indicators show our overall emphasis on Local Church vitality through community outreach continues to grow. However, the number of UMVIM Teams sent decreased from 16 to 12; and the number of churches sending specific team members decreased! Pre-Conference Reports 185 For 2016 the membership in the UMW decreased by 6% to 2,863, while the amount they paid for local church and community work similarly fell. The UMM membership and amount paid for local church and community work both decreased by 6%.

The total Number of Households giving to the local church decreased by 8% to 12,158, while the Total Income Received for Budget/operations of the local churches only dropped 1% to $25,681,516! The amount paid by the local church on All Expenditures decreased by 19%. The Market Value of Church property (buildings, land & equipment) increased slightly as did the Value of other Church Owned Assets (bank accounts, securities, etc.). Debt secured by Church Physical Assets decreased by 10%; and Other Debt decreased by 39%. Income from Building-Use Fees increased by 4% in 2016. The income from Sale of Church Assets increased by 120%.

Giving directly to UMC Causes increased by 12%. The amount given to Non-UMC Benevolent/charities increased by 8% in 2016.

Looking at individual local churches as well as background trends over the time period 2009-2016 there is one indicator which is very interesting. Many local churches continue to support their operations even though their membership has declined. One conclusion is fewer people are feeling called to do more. If these loyalties are generational, then this may indicate future downturns in several areas.

To see all the statistics for 2016 – for individual churches as well as totals by District & the entire Annual Conference – look in your Annual Conference Journal – the very back of Volume 2.

Report of the Conference Treasurer & Benefits Officer Dan Wilson-Fey

I want to begin with a word of thanks to every local church Treasurer, Finance Secretary, Finance Committee member, and Pastor in our Annual Conference, for the careful and extremely important work of faithfully receiving, caring for, and properly disbursing the gifts and offerings entrusted to them for the mission of Christ through the work we share in making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The care with which you take on these important and complex tasks inspires me. Thank you so much.

It was just a year ago that you were celebrating the ministry of former Conference Treasurer & Benefits Officer, Belinda Denicola, as you welcomed me into this position. I join you in giving thanks to Belinda for the work she did, and for her excellent passing of the baton to me.

I will say this has been a year with a very steep learning curve. In a year of many changes – change of Bishop, change of Camp Retreat Ministries Executive Director, change of Treasurer/Benefits Officer and others – I give greatest thanks to those who have provided stability to us all, particularly Sandra Reinemer, Assistant Treasurer and Controller; Lisa Pronovost, Assistant Benefits Officer and HR Manager; Jerryn Johnston in Accounts Payable; and Sally Blanchard, Office Manager and Annual Conference Manager. They, along with newcomer Andrea Cooper in Accounts Receivable, comprise the stellar team with whom I am privileged to work.

Since June of last year, I have been working closely with and providing support to these Conference leaders: • Rick Beadnell, Chair of CF&A • Danna Drum, Chair of Conference Board of Pensions • Larry McClure, Chair of Conference Board of Trustees • Daryl Blanksma, Chair of Equitable Compensation Commission • Janice Gratton, Interim Chair of Conference Personnel Committee You have read their reports, including their recommendations to us all. I commend and thank them for their fine work, and for the ways they have helped orient me to the work they do. 186 Pre-Conference Reports I also serve as Treasurer of the United Methodist Ministers’ Retirement Fund and the Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries, and I am the building supervisor for the Conference Center.

The items on which I am required to report are found elsewhere among these reports; I direct your attention to them for the details of our overall financial health, which is good, despite the challenges we all face.

Most of all, I want to thank every lay person in our churches who join with all other lay persons and clergy who work together, and generously support, the sharing of Jesus’ message of abundant life for all as our common task. You inspire me more than you know. It is a privilege to serve with you. I look forward to a great and transformative year ahead!

Conference Board of Trustees Larry McClure, President

Church Properties Held in Trust During this past year, your Conference Trustees have been or will be assuming responsibility for four churches whose congregations have voted to close since our report in the 2016 Journal: Dillard-Winston (May 2016), Jason Lee, Salem (April 19, 2017), Pine Grove-Odell (June 12, 2016).

Pending their sale or another option, as of April 2017 our Oregon-Idaho Conference remains responsible for the following properties closed in prior years, thanks in some cases to volunteer United Methodist laypersons providing property management:

• Bennett Chapel is leased to Imago Dei, a non-denominational church in Portland • Capitol Hill property was successfully sold to Portland Habitat for Humanity • Dillard-Winston church and parsonage are being listed for sale • Dundee is leased to Word of Faith Fellowship previously worshiping in Newberg • Laurelwood was sold to Mt. Scott Learning Center which is making payments as scheduled • Sunnyside still remains busy with various community ministry partners and anticipates a fresh UMC start • Woodlawn remains occupied with leases, including Albina Head Start

Property Management As the Annual Conference is finding itself increasingly in the real estate and property management business, Trustees have authorized a part-time contract with a commercial real estate broker who is moving to semi-retirement. He will assure that all necessary paperwork and procedures have been followed as defined by the Discipline, annual conference rules, and local/state legal requirements. He will also help keep an eye on properties that we have leased or transferred to other entities or that are in the process of being sold.

Guidelines for Closing a Church Leaders at all levels are reminded that there is now a set of guidelines to assist local churches and District Superintendents facing difficult decisions on maintaining aging buildings, changing demographics, and declining memberships. These checklists for discontinuation, abandonment, or merger of local church property clarify what has to happen before, during, and after the process. Word for the wise: always organize and maintain church records since these will eventually be sent to the Conference Archives in Salem after a church closure. And develop a habit of recycling unused equipment, materials, and long- stored stuff!

Local Church Trustees are also reminded to physically examine their property deeds and not rely on previous Charge Conference reports which may have indicated the trust clause is included, and to ensure that United Methodist is included in the name of your church. The Conference Treasurer can provide suggested wording when amending and re-recording the deed with county officials. Pre-Conference Reports 187 Conference Insurance Program We appreciate those local churches that provided the declarations page from their current insurance policies as part of fall charge conferences. A Conference trustee is compiling and analyzing these reports.

Conference Center Before remodeling plans and permits can go forward, ownership of three lots under the Conference Center with neighboring First United Methodist Church is still being resolved. Consolidation of Greater Northwest Area Episcopal functions in the Seattle-Tacoma area has opened up some additional office space in Portland but has not solved a pressing need for meeting space. Portland First UMC and other local churches are not always able to accommodate Conference needs, particularly when using teleconferencing technology to save travel time and money. In the meantime, our dedicated Conference staff continue to “make do” with sudden breakdowns in heating and electrical systems. An architectural firm is poised to undertake a feasibility analysis of engineering and infrastructure issues that would impact remodeling.

United Methodist Retirement Center in Salem Pursuant to Paragraph 2517 in the Book of Discipline, and after two years of careful work by the Board of the United Methodist Retirement Center and representatives of the Board of Trustees, the governing documents of the United Methodist Retirement Center in Salem, Oregon (known as Willson House and Jason Lee Manor) have been amended. The Board has clarified its legal relationship with the Annual Conference, which ended in 1988. United Methodists may still serve, but a membership quota on the Board is no longer required. Our historic connection is still honored. Founded as a mission by Methodist women in 1910, United Methodist Women (UMW) have had close ties with this senior independent living and residential care facility. Local UMW units have long provided support and hospitality to the residents, which will continue in the future. The Center, doing business as Willson House, will operate as a private, non-profit organization, without reference to the United Methodist Church in its branding.

United Methodist Ministers’ Retirement Fund Arvin R Luchs, Board President

On April 6, 1909 at the direction of the Oregon Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, six leaders—half lay and half clergy—petitioned (then) Oregon Secretary of State F. W. Benson to incorporate “…an irreducible fund….the income of which shall be applied annually to the support and maintenance of the Conference Claimants….”

They started with seed money of just $3,500 and in the 108 years since it has grown to over $2 million. Over the years the Conference, its boundaries, and the way pensions are provided have changed dramatically. Nevertheless, that fund—now called “The United Methodist Minister’s Retirement Fund”— has persevered in its mission. In January of 2016 nearly $98,000 was divided equally among retired clergy of our Conference, their surviving spouse or dependent children. Another distribution is in process.

The Fund’s Board of Directors—elected annually by this Conference—has been engaged in a multi-year effort to evaluate all facets of our operation. After an extensive review and competitive bids we have moved the assets of the Fund to the care of our denomination’s highly regarded Wespath Investments. They will be part of the $21 billion portfolio Wespath manages, which includes UM clergy pension assets. We anticipate a long-term, fruitful relationship. The Board expresses its thanks and appreciation to Rob Closs along with (more recently) Jason Buell who have provided capable professional service to the Fund for more than 20 years.

Annually we invite contributions to the fund from active and retired clergy and lay members of our local churches. This is a concrete way for all of us to honor those who have served and ensure the future vitality of this effort. A gift is an excellent way to honor your congregation’s pastor, celebrate the ministry of a retiring pastor, or remember those who have died. Sometimes it’s appropriate to give a gift in memory of a mentor or to honor the inspiration of particular persons, or to show appreciation for their special role in an individual’s life or the community. Donations can be sent to the Conference Treasurer for the UMMRF 188 Pre-Conference Reports and are tax deductible. Each year our Conference Journal publishes the names of those who have been honored or memorialized by significant contributions.

Thank you to the members of the UMMRF Board for their faithful service and to all who contribute to support and honor those who have made a difference in our lives and our Conference and now enjoy retirement.

District Reports

Cascadia District Steve Sprecher, interim superintendent

This has been a year of transitions in the Cascadia District. I write this as a superintendent who has been “on the job” for only three months, and will be leaving the role in another three months.

In this role I have felt blessed by several things. First, I have felt blessed by the great work that Peg Lofsvold did in four and one-half years leading and helping to shape the district. I am especially glad to see several areas where a variety of cooperative efforts between churches have been initiated and are growing in vitality.

I have also been blessed to experience quite a number of inspiring ministries throughout the district led by so many committed and capable clergy and laity. I have always enjoyed visiting in local churches to see how the Good News is being shared in very real ways.

I have also been blessed to have Tim Overton-Harris announced as the incoming superintendent. Tim has strong gifts of leadership and experience which will serve the district well.

I have also overseen the closure of two churches this year, Jason Lee in Salem and Clatskanie, but was fortunate to be able to join the celebrations of over two hundred years of combined ministry and presence. I was also blessed to be able to oversee the birth of two new ministries, Jason Lee Hispanic Center and congregation in Salem, and a new church start in Bend.

I can attest that the Holy Spirit is alive and well in the Cascadia District. Thank you for the opportunity to walk alongside you, however briefly.

Columbia District Erin Martin, District Superintendent Lydia Henry, District Lay Leader

“I am about to do a new thing, now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:19

This year, God has been doing a new thing in the Columbia District, making a way for us in the wilderness, offering water to us in the desert. Last fall, we began the year of ministry together with a day- long Clergy Colloquy at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center where together we literally crossed a threshold leaving old things behind and opening ourselves up to a future unafraid. With the assistance of Systems Analyst, Diane Rheos, we considered the cataclysmic shift from modernity to postmodernity and the effects of that shift on our ecclesial organization. We named the necessary move from hierarchy and top- down authority to a whole different way of being together, inviting collaboration, welcoming story-telling and embracing vulnerability. We organized into Navigation groups, communities of practice arranged by geographic proximity charged with “navigating” the changes ahead of us in mutual support and encouragement. Pre-Conference Reports 189 Then, as a District, we entered into a season of combined Charge Conferences in order to embody our new shared commitments. Together, and sometimes in clusters of four to five churches, we worshipped together, ate a meal together, reflected more deeply on the Columbia District Strategic Plan together and celebrated our emerging new connections. The combined Charge Conferences were such a joy and success that, as Superintendent, I intend to continue with them this coming fall.

The spring was devoted to going deeper theologically together with both clergy and laity in the Columbia District. In February, we hosted a District Laity event entitled, “Post-Modern Film and Post-Modern Faith.” Through the lens of the cinema, Professor Bryan P. Stone from Boston University led us in a Friday evening gathering at the Bagdad Theater and in a Saturday discussion on how film can help us mediate the particular cultural shifts of postmodernity and to recognize the implications of those shifts on the new expressions of our Christian faith. It was a weekend of stimulating conversation, fun and fascinating movie clips, and an engaging time to hear from each other how certain films have provoked our faith.

In March, we welcomed Dr. Jason L. Byasee, professor of preaching from the Vancouver School of Theology, to speak to the clergy about the art and craft of preaching. Focusing on “God as Word” and “God as Image,” we gathered at Faith UMC in Troutdale to explore the challenges of speaking for God in a post-Christian world. Again, it was an encouraging day of shared conversation and worship. Both the clergy and lay learning events were specifically articulated goals that we accomplished in this first year of our District Strategic Plan, and we remain committed to annual opportunities to “go deeper.”

Under the direction of our Lay Leader, Lydia Henry, we have now constituted a Columbia District Laity Development Team, and in April, they sent out a survey across the District to hear from you directly to help them chart their course as a Team of addressing your hopes and challenges in the new landscape of our ministry. We also constituted a District Missional Strategy Team in February to do the overarching work of future thinking and planning for the District. Simultaneously, we are launching four new church starts and redevelopment projects this year, two of those projects (Woodlawn and Wilshire) are in inner NE Portland and two (SE Portland Parish Project and Sunnyside) are in inner SE Portland. These projects are the result of deep discernment and intentional community engagement as we seek to stimulate change and growth.

Taken together, we have accomplished a staggering amount of change in a relatively short amount of time as we lay the groundwork for continued life and revitalization in our midst. I give God thanks for you, the clergy and laity of the Columbia District, as you partner with me in this extraordinary Spirit-inspired Wesleyan Movement for the 21st century.

Crater Lake District John Tucker, District Superintendent Kay Burdick, Administrative Assistant Teri Watanabe, District Lay Leader When I became the District Superintendent for the Crater Lake District last July, I had the following three goals: 1. Improve Clergy Morale 2. Establish Greater Inter-Church Connections 3. Change Conference Culture

When it comes to improving clergy morale I find that empathy and connection are the best remedies. I have succeeded in establishing good partnerships with many of the clergy but have failed others. I tend to do nothing simply because it was done that way before which means that some good practices got ignored (colloquies) while other good practices got created (think tanks). I have attempted to reduce shame and increase accountability by giving clergy a chance to define their pastoral style rather than have their superintendent and Cabinet do it for them. This process has led to some clarifying conversations with clergy, Staff-Parish Relations Committees and within Cabinet. Establishing greater inter-church connections is something that could help our churches share resources 190 Pre-Conference Reports during times when individual congregations are struggling. These kinds of cooperative endeavors are being explored by churches in the Eugene area and I hope to expand that exploration to other parts of the district. Team pastoring experiments are also on the horizon so that more congregations benefit from the variety of strengths made present when multiple clergy work together.

If we improve clergy morale and establish greater connections between churches, conference culture will also be transformed. In my opinion, we parallel play side by side in silos more than we play cooperatively together due to clergy insecurities and congregational possessiveness. We can do better on both fronts.

I have found the churches and clergy of the Crater Lake District to be open and willing to take risks. I am learning so much from the laity and clergy, as well as my colleagues on Cabinet, that I feel increasingly embarrassed by my ignorance. I have made mistakes for which I ask forgiveness. We have a great task before us in communicating a gospel that resonates with a culture that thinks it has heard it before or thinks that the gospel has nothing to offer. I believe we can be agents of transformation if we can become bigger as people and as a conference. What else has Jesus called us to do?

Sage District Gwen Drake, District Superintendent Terri Bartish, District Administrative Assistant Josh Bynum, District Lay Leader

This is my sixth year as a District Superintendent; my first year as the Sage District Superintendent. Sage District has 54 churches, one Hispanic Fellowship, one new church start, two active campus ministry settings, and two United Methodist Camps. These ministry settings are divided into four geographical areas: Northeast Oregon, Treasure Valley, Magic Valley, and Eastern Idaho. Each area is assigned a coordinating elder to help with clergy colloquy, charge conferences and other concerns as needed when the district superintendent can not be present.

My goal this year was to go to every church to listen to what they are doing in mission and ministry. I asked each of them why they are the church in this community and who they think they will be in five to ten years. I have only a few congregations left to visit as of mid-April.

I am thrilled to report that Shared Ministry Apportionment giving improved to 73.5%, an improvement of almost 10%. We had several churches unexpectedly make it to 100%. My challenge to congregations is to improve another 10% in 2017.

The strongest churches are in Eastern Idaho and Boise. Many of our small churches are served by Lay Assigned Pastors and Certified Lay Ministers. The area of the most concern for me is the Magic Valley, mostly the area of Twin Falls. This area has grown in population while the congregations continue to remain steady or decline. The question is: How do we reverse this trend in this strategic area? Another strategic area may be Caldwell. This area is growing and the church has declined to half-time.

We have one new church start in Boise called Crosspoint, served by Dana Hicks. They started in May 2016 and are presently worshiping regularly since February 2017 with around 50.

I have met many exceptional United Methodist people and congregations who are making a difference in their community. Pre-Conference Reports 191 General Church Agencies

General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM)

The agency launched a new mission and vision at the start of 2017. The updated mission and vision simplify our role as the primary leadership development agency for The United Methodist Church.

MISSION Our mission is to lead and connect the educational and ministerial life of The United Methodist Church.

VISION We will continue to transform the world through the power of education and ministry in the Methodist tradition. We will serve God and the worldwide Church in recruiting, nurturing, and educating lay and clergy leaders who seek wisdom and live ethically as God’s peacemakers.

EDUCATION The Collegiate Ministry Office at GBHEM hosted Imagine What’s NEXT, a three-day event for young adults ages 18-26 to discern their call of lay or clergy leadership and learn ways to connect that God-given call through the work of the church. Nearly 700 students participated in NEXT, an increase of nearly 40 percent from prior years.

The Young Clergy Initiative funds innovative projects across the church to attract young people to ordained ministry. The $7 million initiative has funded more than 75 projects. A biennial event, Exploration provides a platform for young adults ages 18-26 to hear, discern, and respond to God’s call to ordained ministry. In 2015, 475 attended Exploration. The 2017 event will take place in Portland, Oregon, November 3 – 5.

The agency has a Global Methodist Education Network that includes more than 1,000 institutions of higher education around the world. GBHEM supports Schools, Colleges and Universities across the U.S. The Schools, Colleges, and Universities Office at GBHEM hosted 30 of the school’s presidents at the CEO Meeting of the Council of Independent Colleges in Orlando, Florida in January 2017. In addition, the office hosted 35 presidents at the National Association of Schools & Colleges of The United Methodist Church (NASCUMC) winter meeting in Washington, D.C.

Global Education and New Initiatives at GBHEM provides technical assistance, financial support, scholarships and recruitment aids for five target regions across the globe: Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe and the U.S. Global Education works with the United-Methodist related schools, particularly institutions of higher education and theology schools. In addition to schools, the office supports international and regional associations, as well as oversees the Methodist Global Education Fund for Leadership Development. The Black College Fund invests in the hopes and dreams of those students attending United Methodist- related historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The Black College Fund distributes 95 percent (on average more than $9 million) of all funds received equally to the 11 HBCUs. The fund provides for faculty development, infrastructure maintenance, and for students who need financial support and scholarship, helping the HBCUs to keep tuition and fees competitive. The Black College Fund was pleased to announce that five of its HBCU’s enrolled 22 Hispanic students as part of the Latino student access program in 2016.

The agency works with the Commission on Central Conference Theological Education (CCTE) to distribute grants for the theological education of pastoral leaders in the Central Conferences. The 2012 General Conference established a $5 million CCTE fund, and more than 250 grants have been awarded across 22 countries to date. Due to its impact, the fund was doubled at the 2016 General Conference. New grant recipients were announced in March 2017.

In 2016, GBHEM’s Office of Loans and Scholarships awarded 2,025 students with more than $3.1 million in scholarships and 406 students with more than $1.9 million in loans. The loans and scholarships are 192 Pre-Conference Reports open to United Methodist students and seminarians who are seeking to further their education.

GBHEM reestablished its publishing ministry in 2016 to engage, nurture, and advocate for the intellectual life of The United Methodist Church. Through this ministry, GBHEM produces academic resources for the constituencies of the agency, including single-author and multi-author works, as well as edited volumes. More than 10 new and revised books have been released under the publishing ministry.

MINISTRY In partnership with Discipleship Ministries, GBHEM provides e-readers to theological schools in remote areas of Africa and Asia, offering access to the latest textbooks and references books. The E-Reader Project has distributed nearly 1,500 devices to 22 theological seminaries, loaded with publications in English, French, and Portuguese.

Individuals pursing licensed and ordained ministry find the resources they need to overcome challenges and barriers sometimes encountered when responding to God’s call in GBHEM’s Candidacy Office. The office coordinated a successful Board of Ordained Ministry Quadrennial Leadership Development in fall 2016. In addition, the office revised the BOM Handbook following General Conference along with the conference relations resources for the 2016 Book of Discipline. The Candidacy Office is also developing an eight-year Clergy Assessment Process and GBHEM’s Effective Ministry Assessment (EMA) leadership development tool.

Course of Study and Specialized Theological Education provides resources for local pastors to gain the education and training needed for service across the church, with courses available in Spanish. The office launched Portuguese Course Study programs in 2016 and will continue to expand. GBHEM launched three new education options for part-time pastors in December 2016: an Extension of the Course of Study School of Ohio (COSSO) located at United Theological Seminary, a satellite Course of Study program with Saint Paul School of Theology in Hays, Kansas, and a pilot Escuela de Cursos de Estudios (ECE), a Spanish Course of Study, in Denver, Colorado.

Chaplains and pastoral counselors are credentialed through the United Methodist Endorsing Agency, which provides resources for chaplains and counselors serving inside and outside the walls of the church. UMEA supports those working in 25 ministry settings such health care, military, prison, workplace, marriage and family, specialized and more. The office is completing the second pilot initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid Clinical Pastoral Education program sponsored by GBHEM.

GBHEM leads clergy continuing education programs, providing resources for spiritual formation and professional development to help ensure an effective clergy for the church. Clergy Lifelong Learning provides an innovative platform for ministry through the multilingual UMC Cyber Campus. In addition, the office organized the 60th anniversary celebration of full clergy rights for women in August 2016 at the United Methodist Clergywomen gathering, which included 450 attendees from 27 countries, speaking six languages. This office continues to provide guidance in cross-cultural/cross-racial leadership development throughout the denomination.

The agency supports deacons and diaconal ministers as they lead the people of God into ministries of compassion and justice, and interpret the needs of the world to the church. The Office of Deacon Ministry Development and Provisional Membership led the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the “recovery” of full-member clergy deacons for the church. In addition, a new certification in parish nursing was created, and the certification in camping and retreat ministries was updated (in collaboration with Discipleship Ministries).

Africa University James H. Salley, Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement

Africa University ended 2016 poised to celebrate its Silver Jubilee and eager to embrace new opportunities for transformative ministry over the next 25 years. The university community acknowledges, with heartfelt gratitude, the faithfulness and generosity of the Oregon-Idaho Conference in helping Africa University to realize its mission. The Oregon-Idaho Conference maintained its strong support, investing 100 percent of the asking to the Africa University Fund (AUF) apportionment in 2016. Overall, the AUF achieved a high level of support within The United Methodist Church last year. A total of 34 of the 56 United Methodist annual conferences in the United States invested 100 percent or more of their asking to the AUF. The Western Jurisdiction led by example and achieved its very best showing for the AUF to date—99.70 percent. The ongoing support of the Oregon-Idaho Conference is of vital importance to Africa University because the university draws its mandate, energy and capacity to transform lives from The United Methodist Church. Therefore, we invite each of you, as members of the Oregon-Idaho Conference, to set aside time in 2017 to celebrate your journey with Africa University. Please participate in the observance of the university’s 25th anniversary. Encourage your congregation to remain steadfast and aim to invest 100 percent of its asking to the AUF and other general church funds in 2017. Engage in a season of daily prayer for Africa University. Join Africa University’s honorary alumni association. Consider hosting a special “AU@25” event or an Africa University Sunday in your local church or area. Use your event to increase awareness of Africa University’s ministry and invite attendees to each give $25 each in honor of the 25th anniversary. Celebrate your role in making Africa University all that it is today and all that it will be in the future. Remember that regardless of the challenges that arise, United Methodists sustain this ministry together — praying, loving and sharing our blessings — and there is no other way that we could do it! Great things are on the horizon for Africa University in the next quarter century. Your Africa University is continuing to evolve and serve by: • Restructuring its academic units in order to remain relevant and provide a broader-based education to meet new demands in the African workforce. • Providing leadership formation experiences and learning for more than 1,400 full-time students each year. • Generating new knowledge and capacity to support peacebuilding and to improve food security, human rights, and leadership for the African continent. Thanks to your generosity, the mission of the global United Methodist Church is alive in the contributions of the Africa University’s 7,000+ graduates. More than 90 percent of these graduates are still in Africa, serving communities in 32 countries. Currently, more than two dozen Africa University graduates are missionaries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe, under the auspices of the General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM). Without Africa University, “I am sure that I would not have the mental maturity and spiritual growth that I have now,” said Albert Wakili, an AU graduate who is a Global Mission Fellow. Wakili is currently serving as a youth and children’s worker at Blanchardstown Methodist Church in Dublin, Ireland, one of the newest and most ethnically diverse congregations in Irish Methodism. Wakili plans to return to Nigeria later this year, when his two-year term with the GBGM ends. Thank you for your unwavering witness in response to the call to faith, hope, and renewal in the world. We pray that blessings continue to abound for all who serve in ministry in the Oregon-Idaho Conference. 194 Pre-Conference Reports

Candler School of Theology Jan Love, Dean and Professor of Christianity and World Politics

For more than 100 years, Candler School of Theology at Emory University has prepared real people to make a real difference in the real world. Since our founding in 1914, over 10,000 students have graduated from Candler, where they have been shaped as thoughtful, principled, and courageous Christian leaders dedicated to transforming the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

One of 13 official seminaries of The United Methodist Church, Candler is also one of seven graduate professional schools of Emory University, a top-tier research institution offering extensive resources and a rich context for study. Our location in Atlanta provides a learning environment that reflects the highly diverse communities of the 21st century. Simply put, there is no better place for ministry preparation that addresses our major denominational priorities: developing leaders, starting and growing churches, ministry with the poor, and improving global health.

In order to keep pace with the needs of the church and the world, Candler offers 17 degrees: seven single degrees and ten dual degrees pairing theology with bioethics, business, international development, law, public health, or social work. One of our newest degrees is a Doctor of Ministry that is 90 percent online, so students can remain in their places of ministry as they study and apply what they learn in real time. We’ve also partnered with the University of Georgia’s School of Social Work to create an MDiv/ MSW where students learn to maximize their effectiveness by combining pastoral skills such as spiritual counseling with social work practices such as family therapy and community assessment.

Our student body continues to reflect the diversity and breadth of the Christian faithful. 475 students are enrolled, with 51 percent women, 34 percent people of color (U.S.), and a median age of 30. Students represent 39 denominations, with half coming from the Methodist family. 83 percent of students are seeking a degree to prepare them as ministry professionals.

Candler has a deep commitment to alleviating student debt and employs a multi-pronged approach to tackle this issue. In 2016-2017, we awarded nearly $5.75 million in Candler scholarships, with 95 percent of MDiv students receiving aid and the average scholarship covering 73 percent of tuition. Plus, our comprehensive “Faith & Finance” program teaches money management skills that serve our students now and will continue to serve them—and the churches they lead—well into the future.

In fall of 2016, Candler welcomed to the faculty Larry Goodpaster as Bishop-in-Residence, and Kendall Soulen as Professor of Systematic Theology. Also this fall, three Candler alumni began their terms as newly elected bishops in the Southeastern Jurisdiction: David Graves 90T in Alabama-West Florida, R. Lawson Bryan 75T 85T in South Georgia, and Sue Haupert-Johnson 95T in North Georgia.

Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulfill our mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries in the world depends upon your support, gifts, and prayers. Thank you for the countless ways you advance this vital ministry in the life of our denomination. Visit us in person in Atlanta or online at candler.emory.edu to see firsthand how Candler prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world. 196 Pre-Conference Reports

Claremont School of Theology Jeffrey Kuan, President and Professor of Hebrew Bible

Claremont School of Theology (CST) is experiencing a true season of sustenance and growth – sustaining the gifts we have been given while we plan and pray for more growth.

Last year, we laid out for you our strategic plan, “Leveraging Our Past to Build our Future,” a plan that set a course through 2020, based on three goals: promoting transformative education; engaging local and global communities; and achieving long-term institutional stability. This year, we are thrilled to share with you that we have already reached some of those goals.

Promoting Transformative Education In Spring 2017, we welcomed our largest-ever incoming Spring class which boosted our total enrollment to 414 students. Our original hope was to “break 400” in Fall 2019. We reached that goal 30 months ahead of schedule.

In the last three years, the number of students seeking their Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree more than doubled, spurred by the growth of Hybrid/Online programs. Our Hybrid D.Min. program is growing consistently as well, and the highest number of denominationally-affiliated students at CST is from The United Methodist Church at 24 percent.

In Fall 2017, we will welcome students to our newly designed Master of Theological Studies (MTS). This program is ideal for those who want a theological education to enhance their ministry as lay people and for our UMC ministry candidates following the Deacon path.

Engaging Local and Global Communities Our president, the Rev. Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, stood with the presidents from our interfaith partnerships – Bayan Claremont, University of the West, and the Academy for Jewish Religion, California – in speaking out against hate of any kind regarding anti-Semitic actions in our nation and against the federal program targeting our Muslim brothers and sisters.

Our students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae remain active in local and global efforts to understand our neighbors and our own “otherness.” They planned and participated in marches, conversations, and symposia at houses of worship, with other schools of higher education, and alongside those of many traditions. This, we believe, is what helps our students and graduates truly understand the world they serve.

Achieving Long-Term Institutional Sustainability In September 2016, CST welcomed our new Vice President for Advancement and Communications, the Rev. Sharalyn Hamilton. Rev. Hamilton is leading Trustees, Staff, and Faculty in efforts to fortify our financial future. These efforts include hosting events in Cal-Pac and Desert Southwest to strengthen ties, renew old friendships, and worship together.

Additionally, CST’s focused visit from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) – through which we receive accreditation – went very well. WASC is impressed with our course offerings, our stellar faculty, and our record-breaking increase in enrollment. It is, however, imperative we establish a more sustainable financial model to continue to receive their accreditation in the future. Our Board and President are exploring every option available to achieve financial sustainability for generations to come.

Farewell This year, CST bid “Farewell” to our bishop-in-residence, Bishop Charles Wesley Jordan, who served us for 15 years. To celebrate his ministry of pastoral care and leadership, we created a scholarship to support African American students who plan to follow him into congregational ministry. Longtime CST Library Director of Circulation, Elaine Walker, also retired after 38 years, and Dr. Jack Coogan, Professor of Communication Arts and CST alumnus, retired after 50 years of teaching and enriching the CST Pre-Conference Reports 197 community. We also said “Goodbye” to some dear CST friends who passed away recently, including Professor Emeritus Allen J. Moore, who served as professor, associate dean, and dean at various points in his career at the School, and Professor Emeritus James McConkey Robinson who joined our faculty in 1958.

Thank you CST values its connection to The United Methodist Church. Our dedication to “preparing our graduates to become agents of transformation and healing in churches, local communities, schools, non-profit institutions, and the world at large” is made possible through your love, prayers, and gifts. Thank you for supporting Claremont School of Theology as we continue to grow.

Rust College of Holly Springs, Mississippi Pearlene Carter, Chair David L. Beckley, President

Established in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Aid Society of the Methodist Church on a former slave auction site, Rust is the oldest one of 11 Historically Black Colleges and Universities established after the Civil War by the Methodist Church still in existence today serving more than 1,000 students annually from Mississippi, 22 states and six foreign countries. Rust’s Mission continues to be in tune with the church’s overall philosophy – doing no harm, doing good and staying in love with Jesus Christ as we serve the young people who look to Rust as their bridge to a better tomorrow through education.

Rust College Religious Life is a diverse community providing the administration, faculty, staff and students sacred space to be fellow travelers on a journey of faith that leads to transformation of the individual and the world.

As you, our friends of the United Methodist Church, continue to uphold your promise of educational opportunity established many years ago, we, the members of the Rust College family, will uphold the promise made by our founder, Rev. A. C. McDonald in 1866, “to do not hothouse work” but will work to build men and women morally, spiritually and academically sound. We are thankful to you for your prayers and financial support. Your continued support is essential as we endeavor to build a stronger legacy for this generation and those in years to come who will look to Rust and our great church for higher educational opportunities.

United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio Kent Millard, President

Where Dreams Take Flight United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, was founded in 1871 by Milton Wright, a Bishop in The Church of the United Brethren in Christ and father of aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Wright brothers had a passionate dream of developing the first successful “flying machine.” They experienced great difficulties, hardships and setbacks in achieving their dream. Through their determination and commitment, however, their dream eventually was fulfilled, and they were the first human beings to achieve sustained flight.

God often plants a vision or dream in someone’s heart to become a full-time servant of Jesus Christ. In St. Peter’s sermon on Pentecost, Peter quotes the prophet Joel who said, “God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:17). When God pours out the Spirit on someone and calls them into ministry, United seeks to partner with that person in helping them to grow spiritually and intellectually in achieving their God-given call and dream.

In the fall of 2016, 418 students enrolled at United to answer God’s call and vision for their lives.1 Our prayer is that God will use United to prepare these students to become faithful, fruitful and effective pastors and church leaders who make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. According to a recent survey, 86% of our graduates are either currently serving in local congregations or are retired from serving in local congregations.2 United alumni/ae are making an impact.

On January 1, 2017, United celebrated the beginning of a new partnership in ministry with Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO). United has become an extension site for the Course of Study School of Ohio located at MTSO, providing a convenient hybrid program for part-time pastors pursuing a local pastor’s license. Through United’s Course of Study, pastors experience a Friday-Saturday weekend on campus and finish coursework online over the weeks that follow. Courses are offered four times per year.

If you feel God calling you to serve in any form of Christian ministry, we encourage you to go online to united.edu to discover the option that fits your ministry and calling. May God bless you as you respond to God’s dream for your life to serve in either the ordained, commissioned or lay ministry.

Conference Board of Global Ministries/Outreach Jim Frisbie, Conference Secretary of Global Ministries

Our Global Ministries Team is continuing to expand and deepen its ministry with and through the local churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. We continue to support local churches with missionary itineration, connections for disaster response, opportunities for mission and ministry, United Methodist Volunteer in Mission teams, and our global connection through the General Board of Global Ministries, which links us with fellow United Methodists around the world.

We continue to see a steady stream of itinerating missionaries visiting churches and church groups. Roz Collins is our Itineration Coordinator and a valuable link with the work of United Methodist Women.

Dan Moseler continues as our Disaster Response Coordinator, linking us with other religious and nonprofit organizations preparing for and responding to emerging needs in our communities. Dan has prepared and established on the conference website a comprehensive Disaster Response Guide that every pastor and lay leader needs to review and have readily available.

Becky Platt has developed effective systems of training and deployment for both UMVIM and Early Response Teams. She will be focusing more and more on the ERT aspect of this work, coordinating effectively with her counterparts in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference.

Lowell Greathouse continues to be a valuable link for our team with both Hispanic Ministries and his role as Mission and Ministry Coordinator.

Two developing areas of our work are the Connecting Neighbors program and the Abundant Health Initiative.

The Connecting Neighbors program is a specific process whereby a congregation can engage in study, planning, and implementation of ways that they as a church can respond to the emerging needs in a community. It is ministry and outreach at its most basic and essential level! The Lake Oswego United Methodist Church has taken the lead on this under the leadership of Sally Blanchard and can provide a model for other congregations to get involved.

The Abundant Health Initiative is an emphasis of the General Board of Global Ministries that was presented and passed at General Conference in May 2016. As a response and follow-up to the success of Imagine No Malaria, GBGM has challenged our denomination to a grand goal of impacting the health and wellbeing of a million children. Thomas Kemper, General Secretary of GBGM, is calling for 10,000 churches to commit to programs and efforts that positively improve the lives of children and their mothers both in their local communities and around the world.

Emilie Kroen has organized a team to initiate and implement this effort in Oregon-Idaho. It will build on the work we have already done through Imagine No Malaria and expand that effort to include local actions that change lives for the better in our communities. As a Global Ministries Team we continually stretch ourselves and our imagination to embrace the call of Christ to “Go into all the world.” That mission begins in our homes and on our doorsteps, and embraces an increasingly diverse world. This is our calling, our ministry, our purpose and our mand 200 Pre-Conference Reports Holy Land Task Force Dee Poujade, Chair

The Holy Land Task Force was created at Annual Conference 2013. Current task force members are Dee Poujade, chair, Alex Awad, Betty Cobb, Janine DeLaunay, Babs Eggleston, Liz Jacob, Karen McAlister, Jan Nelson, and Claudia Roberts. The initial charge of the Task Force was to identify and study companies affecting the Palestinian people in the Occupied Territory in harmful ways, and to develop information sheets on companies that conduct their business in a manner harmful to Palestinians. .

At Annual Conference 2014 the Task Force was given a further mandate to strongly encourage churches, ministry settings and/or districts to provide a study based on “Kairos Response.”

In 2015, the OR-ID Annual Conference passed a resolution directing that the Annual Conference’s financial bodies “divest all Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference funds from stock held in Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions, and Hewlett-Packard, and continue to exclude these companies from the Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference investments until these companies end their involvement with the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine.” The Holy Land Task Force is proud to join the Conference Council on Finance and Administration in reporting that this task is now nearing completion. Task Force members have been told that Westpath credits the activism of the OR-ID Annual Conference for its work in developing investment funds that are free from these three companies

The Task Force continues to provide educational resources and speakers to local churches and other venues as requested. The Kairos Document (http://www.kairospalestine.ps/sites/default/files/English.pdf) and Working for a Just and Lasting Peace in Palestine and Israel, (http://umc-gbcs.org/content/general/ Working_for_a_Just_and_Lasting_Peace.pdf are recommended as “primers” for those wishing to learn more about this issue.

Task Force members are willing and eager to help coordinate educational programs on Palestine/Israel in any way that is needed. Additionally, United Methodists for Kairos Response (UMKR), a national group working to support an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine, has many excellent resources for individual or group study (www.kairoseresponse.org).

We look forward to working with the churches of the OR-ID Annual Conference in seeking peace and justice in the Holy Land

The new Wesley Theological Seminary Lay Academy offers 11 online courses covering a variety of topics including Methodist identity, early church history, Christian ethics, interfaith relations, and the intersection of faith and science. Laypeople can earn a certification in Wesleyan Studies by completing six of the courses online, or can choose to take courses individually for personal education and enrichment.

Two new certificate programs allow individuals to take specialized classes without pursuing an entire Pre-Conference Reports 201 degree. The Certificate in Faith and Public Life explores the foundations of public theology, religious freedom, and civil discourse through graduate courses. The African American Church Studies certificate is a non-degree option for local church leaders who want to enrich their ministry in African American communities. For more information, contact [email protected] or visit www. wesleyseminary.edu.

Wesley has received a grant of $1.5 million from the Lilly Endowment to help congregations design innovative ministries that support and enrich the religious lives of young adults. Through this grant, 20 local congregations will be selected to work with Wesley as an innovation hub that brings together church leaders, young adults, experts and practitioners for conversation, education, and exchange of ideas. The ultimate goal will be to help each congregation launch new partnerships with young adults, ages 23 to 29. Congregational applications will be open July 1 - October 31, 2017. For more information, contact the Rev. Beth Ludlum at [email protected].

The Institute for Community Engagement at Wesley Downtown continues to help the church turn itself inside out. The Institute at Wesley now offers an innovative online Health Minister Certificate Program from Heal the Sick, an initiative to prepare congregations for public health work in their parishes. Some scholarships are available for this program. Please contact Tom Pruski at [email protected] for more information or to register for future certificate classes.

The newest component of the Institute for Community Engagement is Wesley’s Center for Public Theology. Under the leadership of Distinguished Professor of Public Theology Mike McCurry, this center is equipping pastors, seminarians, people of faith, and the media to create spaces for civil dialogue at the intersection of religion and politics. The Center is also providing events, workshops, and resources to help faith leaders lead faithful, prophetic, open dialogue in their communities.

The Luce Center for Arts and Religion remains the only seminary-based program uniting arts and theology. The Luce Center invites the public to artist talks with each new exhibit and has regular classes and workshops with visiting artists. For information on past and upcoming opportunities visit luceartsandreligion.org.

Wesley’s Master of Divinity degree can now be completed via online, weekend, short-term intensive, and weeknight courses in 5 years. This format is designed to be more accessible to those with busy ministry, work, and/or family commitments throughout the region. The new African American Church Studies Master of Divinity specialization gives contextual preparation for the unique opportunities and challenges our future leaders may encounter in African American churches, while the Public Theology specialization allows master’s degree students to gain skills for community leadership and advocacy.

Wesley continues to offer our 36-hour Master of Arts and a 60-hour Master of Theological Studies to equip those called to ordained deacon ministries or to other ministries beyond the pulpit. 182 Pre-Conference Reports ADDENDUM: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference

Organized Christianity began in the Oregon Territory in 1834 when Jason Lee, a Methodist minister from New England, responded to a call seeking a preacher to fulfill a request by Native Americans who had visited St. Louis. The exact reason for their visit is uncertain, but it was widely reported in church circles at the time that these Indians were seeking religious instruction for their people about “the white man’s Book of Heaven” they had heard about from white fur traders and trappers. The report of their visit fired the imagination of many people in the churches. The Methodist Board of Missions was the first to react by sending Lee over the Oregon Trail as head of a party consisting of his nephew and three lay persons. Their purpose was to establish a missionary effort aimed at converting the indigenous Native Americans and teaching them the arts of civilization. On the way to Oregon, near the present town of Blackfoot, Idaho, Lee preached to a gathering of trappers in a service that is regarded as the first formal Protestant sermon in the West. The party reached Fort Vancouver, according to Lee, “after a long and fatiguing journey, replete with mercies, deprivations, toil, and prosperity” and received a warm welcome by John McLoughlin of the Hudson’s Bay Co. McLoughlin advised Lee to establish his mission in the Willamette Valley. The first station was about ten miles north of the present Salem where Lee organized a Class, the normal 19th century way for Methodism to begin a local church. Almost immediately they began caring for several orphaned Indian children. They moved later to a place they called by an Indian name, Chemeketa, on a site which is now Willamette University. They wasted no time in putting up buildings and establishing gardens for food. Soon Lee saw the need for more personnel. In 1837 a physician, a blacksmith, a carpenter, four unmarried female teachers and two more ordained ministers arrived to reinforce the mission. Then in 1838 Jason Lee set out on the long journey east to recruit more missionaries and to raise money for the Oregon Mission. On this same trip he also delivered a petition to Congress urging them to make Oregon a territory of the United States. Lee and his associates were not notably successful at converting Indians, although they believed they were preaching the pure Gospel. One of the early reinforcements of clergy to the mission, Gustavus Hines, described their preaching in this way: “We preached to them the Gospel as well as we could...giving them an account of the creation of the world, the fall of man, the advent, sufferings, death, and resurrection, ascension and intercession of Christ to save mankind from sin, death, and hell.” The lack of response by the Indians was due in part to the heavy losses among the Indian people to various white-born diseases for which they had no immunities. By 1840 there were stations fixed at Nisqually, Clatsop, Umpqua (Wilbur), Wascopam (The Dalles), Willamette (Chemeketa—now Salem), and Willamette Falls (Oregon City). (The Nisqually mission at the southern end of Puget Sound, was the first U.S. settlement north of the Columbia River and West of the Cascades.) What started out as a foreign mission to the Indians in the Oregon Territory, soon became a ministry to the increasing number of white American settlers coming by wagon train over the Oregon Trail and by ship around the Horn. To meet this unexpected need, Lee helped found the white-settler oriented churches in Salem and Oregon City. Lee’s tenure as head of the mission ended, however, when the Methodist Episcopal Board of Missions judged (from unclear evidence) that the mission operations were becoming a secular rather than a spiritual mission. Taking action unknown to Lee at the time, they recalled him and appointed George Gary to de-secularize the Oregon Mission. Gary followed orders but soon resigned to be replaced in 1847 by William Roberts, a friend of Lee’s who shared Lee’s missionary zeal to both Indians and whites. In 1849 William Roberts formally organized the Oregon and California Mission Conference that included the present states of Oregon, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and part of Montana! Though this vast territory included many Methodist “preaching places” most of the churches were in the Willamette Valley — Salem Circuit, Oregon City, Portland, Yamhill Circuit, Marys River Circuit and Astoria and Clatsop, a few in northern California, and one in Santa Fe. The gold 236 History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference 237 rush to California soon changed everything as more preaching places arose in California than in all the rest of the Conference combined. It also caused a huge migration of men out of the Willamette Valley. In 1852 the Oregon and California Mission Conference was divided; the northern part became The Oregon Conference. At its first session in 1853 there were twenty-one traveling preachers who along with Superintendent William Roberts and Bishop Edward Ames organized the conference. Gold was discovered in the Boise Basin in 1860, swelling the population to nearly 15,000 persons, most of whom rushed from one “strike” to another. These soldiers of fortune seemed like a “different breed” from the pioneer farmers of the Willamette Valley; they were much harder to evangelize, as ministers sent by the Oregon Conference soon realized. C. S. Kingsley, a retired Methodist preacher living in Idaho City, comments on this in a letter he wrote to a friend: “It is a hard soil to cultivate. People forget God up here, except to profane his name. You can hardly appreciate our difficulties, if you have never been in a mining camp.” Idaho City was one of the richest gold camps and rife with corruption and lawless behavior (“sheriffs were bandits, bankers were thieves, and drifters, gamblers, whores, pimps, and other social leaches pretty well ran the city”). In 1863 a miner who had been converted to Methodism in the gold fields of California arrived in Idaho City before any Methodist circuit riders. Within a week of his arrival, he canvassed the town and discovered four Methodists. He organized them into a Class. Three months later C. S. Kingsley organized a Society and within a year a building was built. In 1864 the General Conference designated the Boundaries of the Oregon Annual Conference to include only the State of Oregon and the Washington Territory. Idaho was not included, though in 1865 William Roberts, then Presiding Elder of the Willamette District, was appointed by the Missionary Society as the superintendent of Methodist work in Idaho with the expectation that a new Conference would soon be organized. It was not until 1873, however, that the Oregon Annual Conference was divided along the crest of the Cascades, creating two conferences, one of which included eastern Oregon, eastern Washington Territory, and Idaho Territory. Then in 1884 a Conference was formed that included only eastern Oregon and Idaho Territory. Two of the new conference’s most famous pioneer preachers were “Brother Van” Orsdell from Montana, and Thomas Iliff from Utah. The United Brethren Church had a number of members who migrated to Oregon. In 1849 a German American farmer, George Bethers, who lived on a land claim near Corvallis, wrote a letter to a United Brethren periodical asking for a preacher to be sent to Oregon. It took four years to raise enough money to send Rev. Thomas Jefferson Connor who established the first Class at the Union School house in Benton County in 1854. In 1867, Rev. Connor organized Philomath College with a starting enrollment of 100 students. In addition to the United Brethren, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began work in Oregon in 1858, establishing their first Class at the McFarland School House (between present day Corvallis and Monroe). The Class established in Corvallis later on bought the buildings and grounds of a bankrupt school called Corvallis College. The church made it a very successful school that ultimately was designated as the Agricultural College of Oregon. The Methodist Church, South, however, in a few years gave up its part of the school, which then became Oregon Agricultural College (later, Oregon State University). The work of these early pastors and circuit riders was not for the faint of heart. One early preacher records that “we [he and his wife] have slept many times in barns with the horses and cattle, sometimes in the wagon, or on the ground under the trees of the forest: in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst.” He adds, “But we are richer today for these experiences, and would gladly spend another life in the same way.” Camp Meetings were the primary tool for recruiting church members in Methodism up until about 1900. In 1843 Jason Lee conducted the first camp meeting for white people ever held in Oregon. A pioneer describes a camp meeting held in the Willamette Valley about 1855: “Perhaps a thousand people were gathered. They had come in their ox wagons...many had traveled fifty miles...to renew here the experiences and rekindle the emotions of the old life beyond the Rocky Mountains . . .One of the older missionaries preached at 8 o’clock...At 11:00 the Presiding Elder of the Willamette District ascended the stand and delivered one of his great religious orations. At 2:00 238 History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference p.m. one of the younger men who had entered the work...was the preacher. At night a still younger man...was put on the stand.” Camp Meetings gradually declined as preachers moved toward large revival meetings sponsored by local churches in their communities. Both provided a working model for the Sunday morning worship services in early northwest Methodist churches. One of the most urgent concerns of the Oregon Mission was to establish schools, at first for Indians and later for white children. This task was originally delegated to Cyrus Shepherd, a trained teacher with experience in New England schools. Lee was proud of what Shepherd was doing in what became known as the Indian Mission Manual Labor School. The school didn’t survive Lee’s replacement who sold the building to the Oregon Mission, which had formed a school for white children, The Oregon Institute, of which Willamette University was the direct outgrowth and successor. During the early years of the Mission, there were no public schools, but there was intense interest in children receiving an education. Methodist clergy often led moves to develop facilities and instruction either sponsored by the church or the community. From 1858 to 1865 there were five Methodist preachers who were county superintendents of common schools. In addition, the church started several schools of its own: The Portland Academy, Santiam Academy, Umpqua (or Wilbur) Academy, Oregon City Academy and Female Seminary, Sheridan Academy, Ashland College, Drain Academy and the aforementioned Corvallis College of the M.E. Church, South. Membership in the Oregon Conference showed both periods of growth and periods of decline beginning from the 1850s. By 1970 the membership was 67,215. However, this figure is the result of the 1969 merger of the Oregon and Idaho Conferences and does not reflect the time when membership in both conferences was declining. This decline continued down to 1997 when the membership was reported as 39,129. A number of mergers have enriched and pluralized Methodism in Oregon since 1900. Oregon members of the Pacific German Conference (which was organized in 1905) were merged with the Oregon Conference in 1928. Nationally, three Methodist bodies—Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Methodist Protestant Church—in 1939 agreed, as one church historian wrote, “to kiss and make peace.” This merger created The Methodist Church and involved the merger of several Oregon congregations and conferences. A Japanese Provisional Conference had been established in 1940 on the west coast but then the members in Oregon merged with the Oregon Conference in 1964. In 1968 the Evangelical United Brethren Church nationally merged with the Methodist Church, creating The United Methodist Church. Most EUB churches in Oregon chose to form a new denomination, though a few congregations merged with the Oregon Conference. In 1969 negotiations were completed for the merger of the Idaho Conference with the Oregon Conference to form the present Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. Currently, in Oregon Methodism the fastest growing ethnic group has been the establishment and growth of Korean Methodist congregations. Two new Korean congregations have been established within the bounds of the conference. Women preachers have been an important part of Oregon and Idaho Methodism. Some revivalist preachers were women and over the years the conference (and its predecessors) have had many women who were “supply” pastors serving local congregations, some of whom had what was termed a “local ordination.” The Idaho conference received its first woman, Grace Weaver, into full connection in 1958. The Oregon conference received its first woman, Ernestine Hitchcock, into full connection in 1960. In 1997 the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was among the top 11 conferences with the highest percentage of women clergy (21.3% compared with the national average of 15.2%.). The style and content of preaching in Methodist churches in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference has evolved in many forms. The circuit riders and itinerant preachers preached a message aimed at the sinner to repent and be converted. Thomas Pearne, the longtime editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate wrote in his memoirs that Methodist preaching in Oregon stressed the guilt and danger of sinners. Humor and sentiment were common in preaching. It was said that a Methodist preacher judged his (there were no ordained women among the circuit riders) sermon by the number of people weeping and thus ready to seek a new life. It took the pragmatism of an Oregon preacher, however, to remind his readers that it is not best to keep penitent people kneeling too long History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference 239 because they might “forget the sorrow of a broken heart by feeling the tortures of painful knees.” The style and content of Methodist preaching gradually evolved from preaching for a conversion and preaching the moral and good life, to preaching toward problems and issues facing the lives of people. Many preachers today use the Revised Common Lectionary as the basis for sermons. Issues that the Oregon-Idaho Conference has dealt with have varied from how to keep the many schools and academies afloat financially, how to increase membership in the conference, how to increase the life of the Spirit among Methodists, and how best to organize themselves for effective ministry. Over the years, the Conference recognized the importance of camping experiences for young people. A camping program using several camp and retreat sites in both states has been developed that is currently one of the finest in United Methodism. Many social issues have concerned the conference through the years. The internment of Japanese-Americans on the west coast at the outset of World War II was denounced by several Methodist clergy who brought the issue to the conference. A couple of them paid a severe price for their advocacy of justice for the Japanese-American people. Various forms of pacifism were advocated in conference debates during World War II, culminating in official censure of Willamette University for its acceptance of an Air R.O.T.C. training program on the campus. At the end of the twentieth century, the liveliest debates were on issues surrounding homosexuality. Two preachers from this Annual Conference have been elected to the episcopacy. The first was Bruce R. Baxter, who was president of Willamette University when he was elected in 1940. The second person was Minerva Carcaño, who was serving as the superintendent of the Metropolitan District when she was elected by the Jurisdictional Conference in 2004. What of the future? According to Shakespeare, “the past is prologue.” But prologue to what? It is not given to us to know. Perhaps what we can be most sure of was summed up by an historian of Oregon Methodism, Robert Peters (a retired member of the Conference): This conference has had to think of the plodding task, the often disappointed task of seeing that we’re not living in the glory days. Our glory, as a matter of fact, is not in spectacular achievement. It is rather in being faithful to the witness, to the word of hope. ... God called us to this place when it was a rustic frontier to remind each Indian, each settler, that God cared what happened here, how we live with our lives and how we built our society. And that God does not leave us alone ever, wherever we may be in seeking to be faithful. That’s our task. It’s ever been our task, and it shall be our task on into our future. © Raymond E. Balcomb and Robert W. Burtner

[Editor’s Note: This short history was written in 1999 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Oregon and California Mission Conference by the Rev. William Roberts (it was updated slightly in 2005). The authors, the Rev. Raymond E. Balcomb and the Rev. Robert W. Burtner, both joined the company of saints within a few months of each other in 2011-12. Their essay has become part of the history of their ministry, a legacy to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, which they each served long and well.] History of the OR-ID Conference Sessions The General Conference of 1849 authorized the formation of “the Oregon and California Mission Conference” with two districts, “the Oregon District,” and “the California District.” With this impos- sible geographical spread it is not surprising that the two never met together as one conference. The Oregon District met four times on its own from 1849 to 1852 with William Roberts presiding. The 1852 General Conference faced the inevitable transportation problem by authorizing the formation of two annual conferences: Oregon and California. The Oregon Annual Conference was organized in 1853 with 13 pastoral charges and a few educational institutions to which clergy were appointed. The list below begins with that first Oregon conference in 1853. The Idaho conference began as a separate conference in 1884 and is included in the list. The merger of these two conferences took place in 1969 to form the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. This list does not include the Methodist Church, South, which merged in 1939. Nor does it include the Northwest Annual Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church that merged with the Oregon Conference in 1968. (The listing of its conference sessions can be found in the 1971 PNW (E) Journal.) Note: James H. Wilbur (1885), E. C. Benson (1886), and C. S. Kingsley (1861 and 1869) are listed as presiding over the Oregon Conference but were not bishops. Date Location Presiding Bishop

In 1784 at the organizing conference of the Methodist Church in America it was noted in the minutes that “following the counsel of Mr. Wesley, who recommended the Episcopal mode of Church government, we thought it best to become an Episcopal Church, making the Episcopal office elective, and the elect superintendent or bishop amenable to the body of ministers and preachers.” It was Wesley’s strong advice to designate Asbury and Coke as general superintendents of the new church (Wesley refused to use the word “bishop.”). This advice was followed with the exception that these two were designated as “bishops.” As the church grew and more bishops were elected, there were debates about the office of bishop. One lingering issue was whether or not a bishop should be “localized,” that is assigned to a given annual conference. Before 1939 the prevailing practice was to consider the bishop as a general superintendent over the whole church and not assigned to any one annual conference. Up until 1939 all bishops were elected by the General Conference. There were designated cities in which they were asked to reside but the actual assignments of bishops to preside at each annual conference were made by the bishops themselves, hence the many different bishops found on our roster. The merger of Methodist denominations in 1939 brought about a new system of electing and assigning bishops to annual conferences. Instead of the General Conference electing bishops, each geographical jurisdictional conference elects its own bishop, and each bishop is assigned to specific episcopal area within that jurisdiction. In 2012 the Western Jurisdictional Conference created a new episcopal area: the Greater Northwest Area, made up of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, and the Alaska Conference.

299 2018 Conference Budget Summary

2018 2017 % Approved Approved Change Total Conference Budget $ 7,401,666 $ 7,234,142 + 2.32% Other Funding $ -3,981,133 $ -3,487,986 + 14.14% Total Apportioned Budget $ 3,420,533 $ 3,746,156 - 8.69%

Introductory Notes The 2018 budget shows an increase of 2.32% or $167,524 over the 2017 budget, but the proposed 2018 apportioned budget shows a decrease of 8.69% or $325,623 from the 2017 apportioned budget.

You will see in the budget report that there is a new column for 2018 to record the intended use of reserve funds to offset a portion of the budget. While CFA hopes that their reserve funds can be used to support initiatives to improve the vitality of the conference, it is also their intention to reduce the apportionment burden to local churches by offsetting some of the cost that is passed on through Shared Ministry apportionments.

Budget Change Detail Compensation Increases. The budget allows for a 2% increase in compensation for all conference staff. Note that in 2017, the increase that executive staff would have received was reallocated to Youth Ministry. Conference Secretary and Conference Journal. The decrease reflects the reduced anticipated costs of digital production of the Journal. Episcopal Office. The decrease in this line item reflects the cost savings to the conference of consolidating the Episcopal Office operations into one Greater NW Area office. District Offices. This reflects a 2% salary and benefits increase for district staff. Vital Congregations Project. The increase in the proposed budget reflects the cost of increased work in revitalizing existing churches and establishing new places for new people. For 2018, this cost is not being passed on to local churches because of other sources of income – primarily the anticipated income from the sale of properties that churches have passed on to the conference in order to continue the United Methodist work in a new way. Pension & Benefit Funding. This reflects an estimated increase in actual costs due to changes in clergy compensation and changes to the Health Flex program.

300 Conference Budget Summary 301

Pastoral Support (Idaho Mature Ministers /Lay Persons Assigned/Mission Church Support/ Equitable Compensation). One half of the expense is intended to be offset by reserves from previous years of apportioned support for these items. Conference Mission and Ministries Coordinator. The reduction acknowledges less spent than budgeted in previous years, and includes funding some ministries in these areas this year from reserves and other funds. Communications. The increase reflects a 2% salary and benefits increase and the cost of staff support for the communications office. Conference Center. The $36,000 Reserve offset reflects the intention of the Board of Trustees to use reserves to reduce the budget impact on the local church. Conference Center Office Manager. This reflects a 2% salary and benefits increase and a correction to a reporting error in 2017. Office of Stewardship & Finance. The increase in support reflects contributions from other conference entities for whom the office provides services – the Board of Pensions, Board of Trustees and the UMMRF. CRMT Administrative Support. The increase reflects the increased cost for providing accounting support to the camping program. Global Missions Board. The increase reflects the intention of the board to establish the Abundant Health Initiative in the conference as well as the increased cost of travel and training. General Church Apportionments. The Conference received an overall increase of $5,378 or 0.74% to the General Church apportioned line items. General Contingency Fund. This reflects a decrease due to anticipated expenses and reserve levels. Volunteer camera operators faithfully record each business session.
