160 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON PART II: ANNUAL CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL OF THE ONE HUNDRED TENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON JANUARY 28-29, 2005 THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL WASHINGTON, DC

THE BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS The Right Reverend John Bryson Chane, D.D., Eighth Bishop of Washington

Bishops Harris, Allen, Eastman, Montgomery, Schneider, sister and brother clergy, lay delegates and alternates, members of the cathedral staff and guests,“Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This morning, the 110th Convention of the Diocese of Washington marks my third Convention with you. I will never forget my first convention, in January of 2002 when Karen and I walked through the west doors of this magnificent cathedral, frightened to death and radically disoriented, having come from West Coast and the challenges of a great cathedral in San Diego to become your choice to serve as the Eighth Bishop of Washington in an election that we never expected. I would offer to all of you, especially those who share the gift of Holy Orders, that there is no way under heaven to prepare anyone for such an overnight transition,let alone the responsibilities, challenges and the great honor that comes from such an experience. There are days when I wake up and cannot believe that God has blessed me with such a ministry. And there is not one day that passes when I do not take the time to thank God for all that is now,and for the strength, courage, passion, energy and faithfulness that will be required to face the challenges of all that has yet to be revealed in the fullness of God’s time that will define our future together. Often when I travel throughout the diocese visiting our congregations on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays, I am asked,“Bishop, are you having fun?”The answer to that question for all of you to hear this morning is a resounding YES! The YES comes quickly even when there are long days and nights, the demands of travel and the engagement with the larger Church. The answer is YES even during the 17 months when I have had to serve this great diocesan cathedral in an expanded capacity while it searched for the one who would come among us as its new dean. The answer is YES during the significant conversations and controversies that have followed the Episcopal Church since the General Convention in Minneapolis and the issuance of the Windsor Report and our most recently concluded House of Bishops meeting in Salt Lake City. Sustained by the gift of Jesus’ teaching, by the gift of the Holy Spirit and by the extreme power of prayer, the answer will always be YES! In any diocese the size, complexity and diversity that is Washington, there will always be great challenges, disappointments and some failure and business that will remain unfinished, even with the best intentions. But the great energy behind

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 161 BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS my YES is what all of us together have been able to accomplish in less than three short years. And because of those accomplishments, this diocese is seen by others throughout the larger church as one of the most exciting,high energy and attractive dioceses in the Episcopal Church today. That truth continues to be amplified by the number of clergy from other dioceses who contact us wanting to transfer to Washington, the numbers who enter the formal search processes, and the number of retiring bishops who have spoken to me about the possibility of coming to Washington to assist us in our expanding ministry. Much of this interest is driven by the knowledge that this diocese has some of the finest clergy engaged in ministry in the Episcopal Church today,and some of the most prominent,creative and engaging congregations in the country. In the last three years our staff, supported by many unselfish volunteers, has begun to realize the dreams, desires and admonitions that were published by this diocese in its search for the Eighth Bishop of Washington. As a diocese we have begun a journey that has as its roadmap the following priorities: 1) Supporting and aiding congregations to become healthier,more robust and more realistic in the ways they are able to exercise their ministries in a 21st century climate of rapid demographic, cultural and social change that defines the Diocese of Washington and the broader Episcopal Church; 2) Establishing and rapidly expanding an exciting, vibrant and very visible youth ministry and college work program that empowers our young people and college students to better equip them for moral engagement in the world and to be a program of direction that can be an icon for the rest of the Church; and 3) Expanding our vision of the very nature of Christian Mission globally and domestically, and developing a new global awareness of interdepen-dence, providing opportunities for all to become corporately and personally involved in reclaiming the domestic and global mission of the Church. Through the Offices of Congregational Development and Deployment, supported by the Finance Committee, the Financial Oversight Committee and the Urban Ministry Task Force and linked to a Diocesan Council that wants to be more directly engaged in the work of the diocese regarding parish initiatives, we have begun to take steps to evaluate the health and vibrancy of all our congregations and to assist those where help and support is needed. We are especially concerned about our Metropolitan D.C. congregations and have been working with them with great intensity. This task has absorbed a great deal of time and financial resources, and limited our opportunities to move beyond the current nature of our diocesan parish ministries to envision and develop new and exciting ministries and possible new congregational starts in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. But this is the first time that the diocese has a fairly accurate snapshot of who we are as parishes, what our strengths and weaknesses are, and how we can assist our congregations with the challenge of making the exciting, and yet at times very hard, decisions about their future life, direction and ministry. For those who were delegates to last year’s Convention, you may remember that Robert Franken of Strataventure, along with the Rev. Canon Carol Cole 162 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS

Flanagan, our Canon for Congregational Development, walked us through a process that had begun at our Fall Regional Assemblies of 2003. That hard work and data gathering is now paying off, but the need for our staff, Council and the diocese as a whole to respond to this information is somewhat overwhelming and will require much from all of us in the next year and those that will follow. Since coming to the diocese in late 2002, Paul Canady, Deputy for Youth Ministry and his “Committee on Youth” have grown youth ministry in the Diocese of Washington to extraordinary levels. This accomplishment has been sustained by the unselfish support of many adult volunteers who have been generously supported by their congregations, clergy and young people. This ministry has exceeded my wildest expectations. Not only has this program become extremely successful in terms of content and the numbers of congregations and young people involved throughout the diocese, but it has gained Provincial and National attention, and is seen as a partnering model for other dioceses to emulate. Our Diocesan Youth Ministry Program, however, is not about numbers or a model of excellence for others to follow, as important as these may be, but rather it is caring for, educating and equipping our young people to live into their Baptismal Covenant as they continue to grow and mature into adulthood. It is a great ministry, enabling our young people to experience the nature of Christian Community with their peers and to learn about and personally experience the power of what it means to grow and to be a contributing member of Christ’s Body, the Church. Likewise, the logical next step in sustaining young people as they continue their journey in secondary schools, and then enter local college and university environments, has been to create a new program for the Diocese of Washington that can assist older students and young adults in their years of further academic and spiritual formation. Canon Preston Hannibal has, in less than two years, been able to work with our Episcopal chaplains in the 18 Episcopal affiliated schools in the diocese to bring chaplains, whose ministry has too often been overlooked by the church, into a collegial environment of support, and has raised the visibility of their ministry to a level where its true significance is affirmed and valued, not only by the schools they serve, but by the diocese and larger church. Preston has been instrumental in re-shaping the campus work at Howard University with our chaplain, Robyn Franklin-Vaughn, and was the primary architect in merging the Lutheran component that had existed on that campus for some time with our own Episcopal Chaplaincy, combining the two into one program. Likewise,he has strengthened our presence on the campuses of George Washington University and Georgetown, the University of Maryland, and has worked with others at the congregational level who have an active presence in most all of the colleges and universities within our diocese.The Diocese of Washington has come a long way in a very short time in responding to the wishes and needs of this diocese as they were articulated by the diocesan profile prepared to center the search for the election of the Eighth Bishop of Washington. Clearly our emphasis on serving youth and young people in college will significantly impact

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 163 BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS this diocese in future years as many of these students will take on leadership roles in the church. Globally, the diocese has always been involved in various forms of mission and outreach through its individual congregations and the active engagement of diocesan staff. I thank all of our congregations who have seen that there is a much larger church out there beyond our diocesan and national church boundaries.We salute Lloyd Allen,Bishop of Honduras, who is with us for this year’s convention as we honor his ministry and the growth of the Episcopal Church in Honduras.We also celebrate and give thanks to God for the generosity of so many individuals and congregations in this diocese who have contributed much and worked tirelessly to continue to grow our companion relationship with Bishop Allen and his diocese. Under the bishop’s guidance and direction, we have been able to complete our work in building the community of Colonia Episcopal just outside of the city of San Pedro Sula. Our diocese and its congregations continue their work in Honduras under Bishop Allen’s direction, and that work is making life better for many, especially children. As a diocese, we have continued to work in Sub-Saharan Africa through our Southern African Partnership Committee to engage for the next five years in efforts to share the various resources that must be brought to bear on the painful reality that exists for the most part in that region. In any one month, 165,000 people, many of them children, die from malaria, 240,000 die from HIV/AIDS and another 140,000 die from intestinal disorders that could have been prevented by potable water and better sanitation. In relationship with Archbishop Ndungane and Bishop Beetge, our relationship with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa continues to grow, with new opportunities for involvement emerging on a regular basis. Opportunities to learn more about our companion relationship with Honduras and our Partnership with the Anglican Church of the Province of Southern Africa and how you might become more directly involved in these very important ministries can be explored by visiting there respective information tables located in the Cathedral. As the world continues to shrink through wireless communications and satellite technology,Honduras and Southern Africa are as close to each of as our real life next door neighbors. As our work in ministry expands and develops locally, nationally and globally, I would like to salute Jim Naughton, our Director of Communications, Lucy Chumbley and Amy Elliott. They have raised our diocesan communication abilities to a new level of excellence by getting the news out in a timely fashion through the Washington Window, through Church House News, a weekly e-mail and through the growth of our diocesan Website. Also, the communications department has initiated through local congregations an advertising campaign at local movie theaters that has piqued interest in every region of our diocese. Linked closely with the work of communications department is the work of our state of the art Information Technology Department under Peter Turner’s direction. That department has continued to increase our abilities to engage and communicate quickly and intelligently. It has also been of assistance to many

164 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS of our congregations in the last several years as they embrace the new technologies of communication and information sharing. As we move forward later with a presentation of our diocesan budget for 2005, I am acutely aware of the difficulties that the economy presents to each of our congregations. Having served as curate, rector, canon and cathedral dean, I know how hard it is to make ends meet and do all the things you want to do in congrega- tional life and ministry.From Harvest Festivals, dances, dinners, silent auctions, bake sales, and many other forms of in-house fund raising, parishes work hard to makes ends meet and to fund projects and programs that sometimes cannot be funded by the general operating budget. We, too, at Church House face the very same challenges as our parishes do since the diocesan program, mission and ministry budget is based on the pledges received from our congregations.Like congregations in the diocese, Church House, in its desire to support the broad program, mission and ministry of the diocese, has made efforts to augment our operating budget. Thanks to the hard work of Canon Mary Sulerud, the Bishop’s Annual Appeal which she initiated with the help of Jamie Samilio, was able to raise in its first year over $140,000, with a portion of that being directed to support the hiring of the first full time Latino Missioner in the diocese, the Rev. Simon Bautista Betances. In September of 2004, I was informed that through the hard work of the Diocese of Washington, Fresh Ministries of Florida, in partnership with USAID and the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR), that we had been awarded a five-year, $10 million grant for our shared worked in the Anglican Province of Southern Africa. Although this grant will be managed through the Province of Southern Africa and Fresh Ministries, our diocesan staff, office and travel expenses for the duration of the grant, which will total over $200,000, will be covered under the terms of this grant. In support of Youth Ministry through CD sales of A Bishop, His Band and The Blues (shamelessly available for purchase during convention at the Youth Ministry table) and other show receipts, we expect to raise an additional $8,000 to offset the costs for this summer’s Youth Ministry Mission Trip to the Diocese of Alaska. Canon Preston Hannibal has not been idle either by acquiring for the diocese a $90,000 grant to develop a new chaplaincy at Bowie State University.He was also responsible for acquiring and additional $18,000 to support our chaplaincy at Howard University. Our congregations have not been inactive either in their quest for additional funds to do Christ’s ministry. In May of 2004, the Rev. John Harmon and Trinity Church, Washington, received a National Church, United Thank Offering grant of $50,000 to purchase a vehicle to continue their outreach to the elderly,shut in and disabled residents of their community. Since 2001, United Thank Offering has contributed $179,000 to six programs or congregations to advance the work of our diocese. Episcopal Church Women grants for three years have totaled $7,000 for scholarships to our seminarians. We are all working to find additional income sources to do Christ’s ministry that extends beyond the bounds of the general operating budget. Next year we must continue to step up this quest within JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 165 BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS the diocese and our parishes. As I shared with you during my acceptance speech after election as your bishop at the Convention of 2002,“if this diocese is to grow and become what you have said you want to be, then it will have to find additional forms of funding beyond the standard giving base of pledges.” This statement is as true today as it was three years ago when I first uttered it. Another question I am often asked is, “What is the greatest challenge currently facing the diocese and how does that challenge intersect with your vision?” First I think it critical to share with you what I see to be my vision for this diocese. It is a vision that must at some point have the input and support of Diocesan Council and must come before this convention for further discussion and input as early as next year.It is a vision of paradox;of simplicity and complexity.My vision is not about building structures for the sake of building more churches as monuments to our success, although God knows we have great opportunities to build or buy existing facilities to increase and expand our mission and ministry in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties as well as in northern Charles County — if we had the money. Nor is it a vision that is easily attainable. Some might say it isn’t very exciting and others might say it is not possible to achieve because we have existed as a diocese in one unchangeable form for too long and we are not about to change now. But I say that until we change the culture of our diocese that seems too often competitive within itself, and until we are able to break away from what I see as parish congregationalism that tends to silo our parishes in ways that isolate them from one another in sharing the joint work, ministry and mission of Jesus Christ and His Gospel, then we are not going to be able to ask the right questions. And one pressing question is why are more than a few of our congregations struggling to survive,and therefore not able to engage in new and creative outreach and programs of evangelism and ministry that if given the chance could excite and engage the unchurched, reaffirm the faithful and re-establish a congregation’s special niche in the community that surrounds it? Another question is “Why are we aware of the needs of our mission partners in ther parts of the Anglican Communion but so unaware of the mission opportunities within our own diocese?”“Why is it somehow easier for congregations and indivi- duals to send money, manpower and other critical resources to other needy parts of the world — which is necessary — yet, at the same time, unable to recognize or even care about the general health and condition of our own congregations?” “Why are we not able to support the work of some of our congregations currently doing significant mission and community work in their own neighborhoods with the same intensity that we exercise with our partners in mission globally?” Diocesan staff, in concert with Diocesan Council, has the responsibility of sharing the information with congregations about missionary priorities and the needs of congregations that are either struggling to survive, or are in need of additional support to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ in priority areas of our diocese. And with hard work and your support we must begin to do that with transparency and truthfulness, living into the hard realities of what is working and what

166 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS is not working. Our very future as a vibrant diocese, engaged in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ in a rapidly changing environment of population shifts, changing cultures and languages require us as congregations to work collectively as the diverse and yet unified Body of Christ.With the support of the Church House staff, the Diocesan Council, and with me as your bishop, we must make our diocese a missionary diocese-one in which the time, talent and even treasure of our congregations can be mobilized to change the culture and direction of who we are and what we hope to become as ministers of the Gospel. My vision, shared with you today, is that we become a missionary diocese by design.And as a missionary diocese we accept the responsibility and liabilities that come with believing with all our hearts that what happens in one parish impacts all of our parishes. If one congregation in our diocese is hurting then we all hurt. If one congregation has the human or financial resources to make a difference in another congregation’s life then Council and staff must take the initiative to make it happen. When we gathered last fall at our Regional Assemblies, we were exposed to presentations about the importance of Christian hospitality and outreach, and about their impact on how congregations do or don’t do outreach, evangelism and ministry. As a diocese we must be about growing and maintaining healthy congregations as our main priority,for it is the healthy congregation that is best able to carry out and live into the mandate of doing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to engage the world and transform it.I define a healthy congregation as one that has the ability to meet its operating expenses, adequately compensate its clergy leadership and lay staff with appropriate salary and benefits and to have the additional financial resources to generate educational and empowerment opportunities for its parishioners to engage in mission and ministry beyond its front doors. A healthy congregation provides clergy and lay leadership with the resources and oppor-tunities to do,think and dream about new ways of making Christ known. It empowers the baptized to be active, engaged and involved ministers of the Gospel. A healthy congregation is a congregation that has the ability to see itself as a part of something larger than itself. It honestly believes that it lives in order to give its life away for the ministry of Jesus Christ.A healthy congregation is a congregation in which communications are open and honest, and where conflict is managed openly and creatively so that it lends itself to growth and not to stagnation and dissention. A healthy congregation sees the diocese as a partner in mission and a resource rather than an adversary. For the last 16 months your diocesan staff has been carefully studying the work of PERCEPT and the initial demographic data that was presented to this convention last year. We have also been studying parish parochial reports, national church reports about our diocese and its congregations, parish budgets, parish annual reports and financials to help the staff and our congregations make the informed and sometimes difficult decisions about the future mission and ministry of the 93 congregations that make up the Diocese of Washington. Our staff has been assisted in this process by a loyal corps of well trained parish consultants and financial

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 167 BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS experts who have brought their collective energies together to assist and provide appropriate resources to congregations in transition. But in truth, the task before the diocese in this area is so large that by themselves our staff and the relatively small corps of highly dedicated volunteers cannot address the significant work that lies ahead. At some point after the Diocesan Council retreat in February, I will be proposing a process whereby we will solicit a broad spectrum of volunteers from our parishes who possess the specific skills that can and must be shared with congregations to assist in helping them define and re-claim their future as centers of mission, ministry and outreach. Also, as part of this important work, I will be asking for outside consultants to develop a procedure to evaluate our staff, the office of the bishop and Diocesan Council and our collective performance over the last two years in order to better determine how we can best use our available resources to engage in the important work that lies ahead of us. The information that we receive from this evaluation will be made available to the diocese by the time we gather for our Regional meetings next fall and as we prepare our operating budget for 2006.At the same time, I call upon each of our congregations to likewise take the time to evaluate their own performance and that of their staff and ministries in a similar fashion. We as diocesan staff, Diocesan Council and congregational leaders must be able to adapt to the rapid changes that confront our diocese and find the very best possible resources and leadership necessary to make the shifts in priorities that must be made to meet these challenges and support our congregations as they adapt to meet the demands of a changing ministry. Congregations likewise must be faithful and diligent in seeking new ways to adapt their focus and resources for ministry to rapidly changing communities and environments. As I conclude my remarks this morning, I would like to share with you some thoughts about the Windsor Report, its current impact on our diocese, the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. By now the clergy have received my letter outlining the results of the most recent meeting of the House of Bishops in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the statement about Windsor that reflects “The Mind of The House.”I would say that the conversation in Salt Lake City was frank and direct, clearly identifying the major points of disagreement that exist between the bishops and their understanding about how best to respond to Windsor. Much of where we will be as an Episcopal Church in relationship with the Anglican Communion’s other 37 Provinces will be determined by how we respond to the end products of the next meetings of Primates next month, and the Anglican Consultative Council this spring. Following the Primates meeting, the House of Bishops will re-convene for its regularly scheduled March meeting in Navasota, Texas to firm up our responses. It must be understood that the House of Bishops does not have the authority to change the direction or decisions of the Episcopal Church that were legislated at our last General Convention in Minneapolis. Our General Convention relies on a governance structure in which decision

168 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS making and legislative action is equally shared by the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies. In many other Provinces of the Anglican Communion, this is a foreign form of governance. In such Provinces, bishops are appointed and not elected and decision making for legislation and governance of the Province is left solely in the hands of the Primate. Such governance is as alien and problematic to us in America as is our governance to others in the worldwide Anglican Communion. What I need to share with you also is that I have a deep concern about the current marginalization of gay and lesbian persons in the life of our church as expressed by the tone of the Windsor Report and its isolation of Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire. There are efforts afoot to marginalize his involvement within the life of the Anglican Communion and his participation in the Lambeth Conference of 2008.As a bishop of the Church, if my election is valid and accepted within the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church, then so must it be for Bishop Robinson. Failure to accept him into the larger life of the Church is to demean and disrespect the canons and governance process that guides our lives as Episcopalians, to dismiss the authority of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church and to question the very presence and role of the Holy Spirit in the ordination/consecration process of all ordained and consecrated persons in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. To marginalize Bishop Robinson is to marginalize me and every other bishop who has ever been consecrated in the Episcopal Church.And yet, my sister in Christ, Bishop Barbara, knows all too well what it means to be marginalized by the larger Church, as do our women bishops in the House of Bishops, whose consecrations are still not respected and accepted in some provinces of the Anglican Communion. I have always said that the Church is quick to condemn that which it does not understand, and my hope is that in the months that follow we will have a better understanding of what it means to be in communion rather than what it means to be part of a system that seems more concerned about unity at any price, regardless of who is cast out, disrespected and disinherited for the sake of that unity. To my brothers and sisters who are in disagreement with me on this and other issues and who have felt disenfranchised and hurt by the actions of General Convention, I am happy to announce that the Presiding Bishop has called for the formation of a Theology Committee expressly directed to explore the human sexuality issues that have been posed by the Windsor Report and by some in the Episcopal Church and in the larger Communion who feel that there has not been enough theological and scriptural study devoted to the decisions of General Convention 2003. Likewise the National Concerns Committee of the Episcopal Church is beginning to study the secular and sacramental natures of marriage as we experience it in this Church. My expectation is that these studies will have a time line that will make them reportable by the next General Convention which will be held in Ohio in 2006. There is real disagreement about issues of human sexuality and the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures in the life of the Church, but at the same time I call on the continued tolerance among those

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 169 BISHOP’S CONVENTION ADDRESS who disagree on these highly charges issues, and that our ability to disagree is strengthened by mutual respect, Christian charity and our love for one another. For those brothers and sisters who are gay and lesbian and to those who are living in committed, covenanted same sex relationships, I am saddened that you have come under renewed scrutiny and outright attack from within your own Church and the larger Communion. I am also distressed by the attacks that have surfaced during and after the most recently concluded Presidential election that have lead to increased discrimination against gays and lesbians. Your pain at being marginalized by the actions of the Church at this time carries equal weight with those who have also been hurt by the actions of the Minneapolis Convention. As we engaged in conversation after last year’s Convention with those who were feeling hurt and marginalized by the actions of General Convention, so I pledge myself to you this day to engage in similar conversations with those from the gay and lesbian community who are experiencing much of the same rejection and pain at this present time as you try to remain within the life of the Episcopal Church. In closing there is much that lies ahead for all of us as we move to claim the great opportunities and challenges before us which are clear signs that the living God moves among us through the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let us seek not the unity and sacredness of earthly institutions, but rather seek the unity and sacredness that define us as the many and diverse members of the one Body, the organic living, breathing Body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And may we find new ways in which to love one another,forgive one another and live with one another in times of great challenge so that even in our disagreements we may claim the unity bought for us through the Holy Mystery of the cross. May the Holy Spirit give to this diocese and its congregations the wisdom, the will, the courage and vision, the strength and the financial resources to become truly missionary congregations in a missionary diocese at a time when we need our congregations to grow in becoming exciting, empowering and transforming mission centers where lives are changed, hope is rekindled, new dreams are dreamed, new ministries are begun and many souls are saved in the name of Jesus. AMEN

170 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON JOURNAL OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE ONE HUNDRED TENTH CONVENTION OF THE DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON

The One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington was held in the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul on January 28 and 29, 2005. Before the Convention was called to order, a session on parliamentary procedure was offered to the clergy and delegates, hearings were held on the proposed budget of the Diocese and on Resolutions which were to be considered, and nominees to diocesan offices were introduced. FIRST BUSINESS SESSION Friday, January 28, 2005

The President of the Convention, the Right Reverend John Bryson Chane, Bishop of Washington, called the Convention to order at 5:00 p.m., and asked the clergy, delegates and visitors to open the proceedings by singing “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty.”At his request,the Right Reverend A.Theodore Eastman,retired Bishop of Maryland and the Bishop’s Vicar for the Cathedral, led a period of meditation and prayer.

WELCOME TO THE CATHEDRAL

After concluding the opening devotions, Bishop Eastman announced that he would be leaving his position as the Bishop’s Vicar for the Cathedral in three days, and that the new Dean would arrive in February. He joked that he would soon leave on a missionary journey to the Caribbean, to demonstrate the oneness of the Church, and asked that he be considered the Diocese’s missionary to the island of Saint Bartholemy.

On behalf of all the people who work and serve in the Cathedral, he said it was his pleasure as one of his final acts to welcome the Convention of the Diocese. The planning for the Convention had been wonderful, and he was confident that it would be powerful. The Cathedral staff was at everyone’s service and ready to do anything they could to make the members’ time spent on the Convention more rewarding and effective. He thanked the members of the Convention for coming, and being the Diocese in their diocesan Church.

The President thanked Bishop Eastman for all his service to the Cathedral and to the Diocese,and remarked that the Bishop had retired three times and had always come back for more. He said Bishop Eastman had given a lot of himself and a lot of his time, and had meant a lot to him personally.The Bishop had been a great mentor, and a supportive arm for him as he continued to grow into being a Bishop.

The President introduced the Reverend Canon John Peterson, who had recently retired as Secretary General of the Anglican Consultative Council, and announced

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 171 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS that when the new Dean, the Reverend Samuel T. Lloyd, III, took office Canon Peterson would join the Cathedral staff as the Canon for Global Mission and International Affairs. He noted that another retired Secretary General of the Council, the Reverend Samuel van Culin, was also present. Canon Peterson’s position would be an important one because, given the shrinking of the global community and the problems that existed, his mission would be an important one for the Cathedral, the Diocese and the Communion.

The President presented Bishop Eastman with a gift in appreciation for his ministry, a copy of the sculpture Ex Nihilo, which is in the tympanum on the West Front of the Cathedral.

CALL TO ORDER AND VERIFICATION OF THE PRESENCE OF A QUORUM

The President called the Convention to order and asked the Secretary whether a quorum was present. The Secretary, Mr. Wesley Baldwin, said that 87 clerical members and 124 lay members having registered, a quorum was present. The President announced that because of the presence of delegates from the St. Barnabas’ Church of the Deaf, votes would be taken by a show of hands rather than orally. The President then declared the Convention to be in session, and appointed Mr. Baldwin the Coordinator for the Dispatch of Business.

ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA

Mr. Baldwin moved adoption of the Agenda for the Convention, and reminded the delegates that because there were many diocesan offices to be filled, ballots would be taken as necessary. Memorial and Courtesy Resolutions would be considered as time permitted.The Agenda was adopted by a show of hands.

ADOPTION OF A SPECIAL RULE OF ORDER

Mr.Baldwin moved adoption of a Special Rule of Order reducing the maximum time a member can speak during debate from 15 minutes to three minutes, except that the primary sponsor of a Resolution or the sponsor’s agreed-upon designee may speak for five minutes when the Resolution is introduced. On a show of hands, the Special Rule was adopted by a two-thirds majority.

APPOINTMENTS

The President announced a number of appointments of officers of the Convention. Several required the consent of the Convention, which was given after the list was read.

Secretary of the Convention: Mr. Wesley Baldwin [consent given]; Assistant Secretaries: First assistant - Mrs. Ruby Van Croft; Second assistant - Ms. Ann Talty; Chancellor:Ms.JoAnn Macbeth [consent given];Vice Chancellor:Mr.Robert Watkins

RESOLUTIONS OF COURTESY

Mr. Baldwin offered Resolutions of Courtesy granting seat and voice in the Convention for specific groups of persons.

In accordance with the custom of allowing congregations and institutions proper representation by having clerical voice, he moved that the courtesy of a seat and a voice, but not the right to vote in the Convention be granted to clergy who were employed in congregations or institutions of the Diocese, who were either canonically resident in other dioceses or had become canonically resident too recently to be able to vote at the Convention. He explained that this meant that congregations with priests-in-charge from other dioceses and assistants who had not yet been allowed to transfer in would at least receive an appropriate number of clergy voices.

They were: Howard R. Anderson, Kenneth Brown, Joseph Constant, Ruth Correll, Prince Decker, Patricia Dickson, William J. Doggett, Kelly Brown Douglas, Frank G. Dunn,Theodore Eastman, Clinton C. Esonu, Caroline S. Fairless, Ruth Anne Garcia, Marjorie Gerbracht-Stagnaro, Margaret B. Guenther,Layne C. Hansen, Barbara Harris, Alba Hazen, Robert Hensley,Albert L.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 173 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

Cynthia Byers Walter, David Ware, Shearon Sykes Williams, Prince L. A. Williams, and Michael Wyatt.

The motion was approved.

Mr.Baldwin then moved that,to allow representation of the Regions of the Diocese, the courtesy of a seat and a voice, but not the right to vote in the Convention, be granted to Regional Conveners not otherwise delegates. They were D’Oniece Dillard, Convener of Region 1; Sandra Macek, Convener of Region 3, and Millie Hamman, Convener of Region 6.The motion was approved.

Canon Paul Cooney moved that, under the program to involve youth in the Convention, the courtesy of seat and voice, but not vote, be granted to Regional Youth Representatives appointed by the Bishop. They were: Brittany Livingston, Julia-Ellen Spruill-Smith, Margit Andreassen, Sarah Stonesifer and Darren McCutchen.The motion was approved.

Canon Cooney then moved that the courtesy of seat and voice, but not vote, be granted to several persons who were to make presentations at the Convention. They were: Joanna Bergsten, United Thank Offering; James Naughton, Director of Communications; Carol Franek, Grace Episcopal Day School; and Sandra Swan, Episcopal Relief and Development.The motion was approved.

REPORT OF DELINQUENT PAROCHIAL REPORTS

The President called on Mrs. Ruby Van Croft for a report on delinquent parochial reports.

Mrs.Van Croft said 59 reports were filed by the canonical deadline of March 1, with a surprisingly high number filed in February.Twenty-one were filed in March, seven in April, one in May,two in June, and two in August. One was only recently received. On the whole, she said, parishes did much better in 2004 than in the previous year. That was much appreciated, and it was hoped that the trend would continue.

The President remarked that it was very helpful to the Diocese and the staff that supports the parishes’ ministries to get the reports in during a reasonably current calendar year. He said that the Diocese intended to do a lot of work in congregational development in the coming year, and the parochial reports were critical. He said he was grateful for the response in the recent year and was confident we could do even better in the year to come.

REPORT OF NOMINATIONS

Because the Secretary of the Convention, Mr. Baldwin was running for one of the offices, the President called on Mrs.Van Croft, the Assistant Secretary,to place in nomination the names of persons nominated to diocesan offices at the Regional Assemblies.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 175 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

RECEIPT OF PETITIONS, MEMORIALS AND RESOLUTIONS

The President asked the co-chairs of the Resolutions Committee, to explain the process for the submission of Resolutions that had not been received by the canonical deadline.

Dr. Wade explained that the deadline was 60 days prior to the Convention. Resolutions submitted by that time were included in the report of the Resolutions Committee mailed to the clergy and delegates. However, it is possible to submit other Resolutions during the Convention and seek approval of their addition to the Agenda.The Rules of Order require that submitters of a late Resolution must prepare five hundred copies for distribution, and give a reason why it was not submitted by the deadline.A motion to accept the addition to the Agenda requires a two-thirds vote. If accepted, such Resolutions would be considered on Saturday afternoon.

The President asked whether there were any late Resolutions to be offered, and reminded the Convention that there would be no debate on them. Only the question of whether to consider them would be on the floor.

The Rev. Canon John R. Frizzell asked the Convention’s approval of consideration of a Resolution on prisoners’ rights. He said the reason the Resolution was not submitted earlier was that “a very powerful speech was made on Inauguration Day about prisoners casting off their chains,” and that “we seem to have a little problem with this at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.” He read the Resolution as copies of it were distributed. [Its text will appear later in this record of the Proceedings at the time it was considered.] On a show of hands, the required two-thirds of the Convention approved its consideration.

INTRODUCTION OF CHAIRPERSONS OF COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS AND TASK FORCES

Mr.Paul Cooney,Canon to the Ordinary,introduced the chairpersons of committees who served during the previous year, and asked them to come forward for recogni- tion.

OFFICIAL CLERGY IDENTIFICATION BADGE

Mr. Cooney said that in response to requests from clergy in the Diocese, a Diocese of Washington, Episcopal Clergy identification badge had been developed, and would be provided for all Diocesan clergy who would find it helpful to be more readily identified as they made pastoral rounds in institutions where identification is required, such as hospitals and prisons. He said there would be a photo station in the narthex Saturday where clergy who want a badge could have digital photographs taken for them.The badges would be mailed by the end of February.

INTRODUCTION OF CLERGY NEW TO THE DIOCESE

The Rev.Canon Nan Peete introduced a number of clergy new to the Diocese since the previous Convention.

New ordinands during the preceding year were: the Rev. Mariann Babnis,Assistant at Holy Trinity; the Rev. Paula Green,Assistant at St. Patrick’s; the Rev. Daniel Gross, JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 177 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

Assistant at Christ’s Church, Rye, NY; the Rev. Anne-Marie Jeffery, Assistant at Epiphany, DC; and the Rev. David Wacaster, Curate at St.Thomas’, DC.

Carol Wade, Priest Associate for Liturgy at Washington National Cathedral; the Rev. Prince Williams, Priest-in-Charge at St. John’s, Mt. Rainier; and the Rev. Shearon Williams, Assistant at St. Mark’s, DC.

Clergy who had entered on new ministries during the preceding year were: the Rev. Susan Astarita, Priest-in-Charge at Ascension, Sligo; the Rev. Kim Becker, Assistant (part-time) at St. John’s, Olney; the Rev. Velma Brock, Rector, St. Philip’s Baden and Chaplain at Bowie State; the Rev. Dr. Hugh Brown, Rector at St.Thomas’, Prince George County;the Rev.Dr.Barbara Clarke,Priest-in-Charge at St.Augustine’s; the Rev.

Canon Mary Sulerud, Interim Precentor at Washington National Cathedral; the Rev. Canon Samuel Van Culin, Canon Ecumenist at Washington National Cathedral; and the Rev.Amy Yount, Chaplain (part-time) at Grace Episcopal Day School.

UNITED THANK OFFERING AWARD

The President called on Ms. Joanna Bergsten to present a grant award to Trinity,DC, by the United Thank Offering. Ms. Bergsten said she thought that some person in the Diocese might not know what the United Thank Offering is, because fewer than half of the congregations participated in it. When she went to an Episcopal Church Women Province meeting, she heard that some dioceses in Pennsylvania had a hundred percent participation. She wished she could get fifty percent in the Diocese of Washington.

She said the United Thank Offering was started in 1889. Its support in its earliest years sent a missionary to Japan and built a church in Alaska. In our journey day to day, if we think about it, we are blessed, so why not thank God with a tangible coin in a box, or in a jar, or anyplace? A small contribution from everyone goes to make up a greater amount, and that amount goes to the UTO committee at 815, who transfer the blessings that you feel into blessings for others. 178 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

She urged the members of the Convention to pick up a UTO booklet, available at the ECW table, which listed the grants made in 2004, totaling about three million dollars.

In the Diocese of Washington in 2004, she said, Trinity Church in Northwest Washington received $50,000 from the UTO for its Faith in Action program to purchase a handicapped-accessible bus. Trained volunteers use it to transport elderly and handicapped persons in Ward Four to appointments and church activities and on errands, to enable them to remain independent and healthy.

She presented a certificate for the award to the Hon. Sterling Tucker, chairman of the board of Trinity Development Corporation, which oversees the volunteers. He thanked the UTO on behalf of the Rev. John T.W.Harmon, Rector of Trinity and President of the corporation,the members of the corporation and the congregation, and the people of the community who would benefit from the UTO’s generosity.

EPISCOPAL SENIOR MINISTRIES

At the President’s request, Ms. Iris Harris and Mr. Joseph Resch, Executive Director of Episcopal Senior Ministries, addressed the Convention. Ms. Harris said ESM was not widely known in the Diocese. She said it needs more recognition from the rectors so that the whole Diocese can become involved in its ministry. She urged that rectors, when they get information from ESM, not to throw it in the waste basket but put it into the hands of someone who would act on it. ESM was the organization that worked on behalf of seniors in the entire Diocese. It had been a well-kept secret for too long, and she wanted it to come out of the closet.

Mr. Resch said ESM leaders were very excited by the Diocesan Council’s approval of a new covenant between the Diocese and ESM, which he said would strengthen the relationship between the two and expand ESM’s vision of its mission of providing services for seniors in the Diocese. He looked forward eagerly to working more closely with Church House staff and all the congregations of the Diocese.

BISHOP’S AWARD

The President said the recipient of the third annual Bishop’s Award was to be the Rev. Dr. Loren B. Mead, founder and President of the Alban Institute, who he said was unable to be present because he was attending a conference in Toronto. He called on the Rev. Dr. Phillip Cato to present the award.

Dr. Mead, Dr. Cato said, was known to practically everybody as just plain Loren, and who did not know him? He said Loren passes in and out of our personal and professional lives over and over. He was, without exception, helpful, warm, generous and friendly. Whether in a congregation that was not working right, or a special group, like the Old Dogs, for retired clergy, which he helped get started, or the Washington Episcopal Clergy Association, or an organization

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 179 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS at headquarters, like the Bishop’s office, Loren comes and goes. His quiet, composed, intelligent demeanor never gives away the fact that he is a sort of Lone Ranger who rides into town when there is trouble, and then without even a Hi-Yo Silver, rides out again, causing those who were immeasurably helped to wonder,“Who was that masked man?”

We know the present Loren Mead, smiling, low-key,always ready,and wise.We don’t know as well the thinker and worker who plans, organizes, writes and researches, and spends long hours on airplanes and trains, going to the fire and returning home late.As we are gathered here, he is in Toronto, quote,“doing a gig at a parish, and pretending to be gone at the session meeting.”Those were his words. That kind of self-deprecating humor displays one of his most endearing traits, that he doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Dr. Cato reviewed Dr. Mead’s life and work, from his graduation from the University of the South through his founding of the Alban Institute in 1970.When he retired from the Institute, it had a $3.5 million budget and 8,500 members. He and his stable of experts have done significant research. He and Roy Oswald developed interim pastorates as they are known today. He and others addressed clergy burnout, conflict management, and change and development of the parish church. They have done many consultations with groups from congregations to judicatories. Loren was always the steady center, the organizing principle, the one most valued and sought out.

The Bishop honors Loren today with the Bishop’s Award, Dr. Cato said, and Loren honors us by passing in and out of our lives, and making them much better.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS

The President called on Mr. Ned Freeland and the Rev. Dr. Frank Wade, co-chairs of the Resolutions Committee, for the committee’s report. Dr.Wade moved resolu- tion #1, on modernization of parish bounds, for the Convention’s consideration.

Resolution #1 — on Modernization of Parish Bounds (adopted)

A resolution adopted by the Diocesan Council on November 9, 2004 and recommended to Convention for its adoption.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention commends the Task Force on Parish Bounds for their excellent work this past year in researching the history, the meaning and the use of parish bounds, as well as its related subjects; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the report of the Task Force on Parish Bounds be made available to all, so that the people of this diocese may have access to some important diocesan history; and be it further

180 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

RESOLVED, that the congregations of this diocese consider using the Theological Statement on Parish Bounds as part of any self-study in defining its mission and the geographical area in which they do it; and be it further

RESOLVED, that work continue to change the status of separate congregations to parishes, with the ultimate result of eliminating the term “separate congregation”; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Council continue its work with the Office of Congregational Development on developing strategies for the planting of new churches and the setting of new bounds, such as the cooperative negotiating with existing parishes, and in turn work with the Committee on the Constitution and Canons on any resulting canonical changes.

Explanation: The 109th Convention of the Diocese of Washington created a task force to look at parish bounds. The task force has completed its work and has concluded that it is important to remember the historical value of parish bounds, but that the meaning of them needs to be adapted to today’s society.

Congregations should work in a spirit of community with their neighboring Episcopal and, where appropriate, non-Episcopal churches and organizations. In our diocese we do mission in community. Bounds do not mean division or exclusivity, but are symbols of responsibility and caring for our neighbors. In no way should any renewed focus on parish bounds be construed as a barrier to existing or future cooperative ministries among the congregations of our diocese, in our common ministry with Lutherans, with ecumenical work, in interfaith efforts, or in partnerships with government and non-profit organizations. Indeed, a stronger understanding of its own parish bounds and identity could well empower a congregation to work even more effectively in linkages with other churches and organizations, as we all do our best to struggle toward the great goal:That we all may be one.

For reference: The Theological Statement on Parish Bounds says the following:

If the question of parish bounds seems mundane, it is precisely for that rea- son they exist and are theologically justified. Christianity is itself “mun- dane”: “The Word was made flesh and lived among us” (John 1). “Place” is important as a matter of vocation, as we seek to respond to the world that groans for its redemption (Romans 8).

Parish boundaries are too often wrongly perceived as an archaic measure of where individuals “should go to church.” That was never their primary purpose. Their primary purpose was to define mission. A parish is

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 181 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

a geographic unit of stewardship. A parish church is the place where peo- ple gather around an altar to be constantly renewed in ministry that is primarily the care of the world they have been given.

This does not mean that a parish community does not have concerns or does not do ministry outside its bounds. It does mean that it has primary responsibility for doing ministry where it is, defined by its bounds. That is always the first task. And although parish bounds do not define where the membership actually lives, the parish that ignores its evangelical duty to the community within its bounds does so at its peril. The notion of a “destination church” is popular these days, but even those churches that are such places retain a primary responsibil- ity of ministry, including evangelism, in the place where the church is. Not to do so is to create a “disembodied community of faith,” i.e., one that has no sense of place and too easily becomes disconnected from the world God is seeking to redeem.

Budget Impact: There is no budget impact for this resolution, as the cost of printing has already been covered.

Recommendation:The Resolutions Committee recommends this resolution for consideration.

The Resolution was approved by a show of hands.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION AND CANONS

The Rev. Jefferey McKnight, Chair of the Committee, said its report would be in two parts.The first would be to change the Rules of Order to institutionalize a rule change that had been made at each Convention in recent years, which allows the primary sponsor to state his or her case before any amendments were made, and keeping the time limit to a reasonable amount of time. Rather than having Convention adopt a special rule each year, the Committee believes it is now time to adopt a permanent change. Therefore, the Committee on the Constitution and Canons moved the adoption of the following change to Rule of Order #9.

Part I — Change to Rule of Order #9

The first member to speak on a resolution shall be the primary sponsor or the agreed upon designee. No member shall speak more than twice in the same debate nor longer than fifteen three minutes at one time without leave of the Convention, except that the primary sponsor or designee may speak for up to five minutes the first time, and three minutes the second time.

The change was approved.

182 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

Mr. McKnight said Canon 19 currently allows for only ten members of the Commission on Ministry, and the term length is one year.The Commission members would like to have more members in order to complete the work now dictated by Title III of the National Canons. They would also like to have the diocesan canon changed to reflect what is common practice on other committees, which assures continuity.The practice on the Commission has been essentially to have annual appointments work out to be a total of two three-year terms, and the change below simply enacts that process. Therefore, the Committee on the Constitution and Canons moved the adoption of the following changes to Canon 19, Sec. 1.

Part II — Change to Canon 19 - Commission on Ministry; Resolution for further changes to Canon 19

SEC. 1. (a) The President of the Convention at each annual meeting of the Diocesan Convention shall appoint, and the Convention confirm, a Commission on Ministry.The Commission shall consist of not less than five nor nor more than ten eighteen persons divided among members of the clergy and lay communicants of this Church in good standing. Commission members shall may serve for one year up to two consecutive three-year terms or until their successors are appointed and confirmed.

The change was approved.

Mr. McKnight said the rest of Canon 19 needed to be updated as well, but the changes were not ready at this time. The language in Title III takes precedence in any event, but work is being done to the diocesan canon. Therefore, the Committee on the Constitution and Canons moves the adoption of the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington directs the Commission on Ministry to work on procedures to implement the recent changes to Title III of the Canons of the General Convention, work with the Committee on the Constitution and Canons to draft various changes to Canon 19 necessitated by the changes to Title III, and to come back to Convention with their recommendations.

The Resolution was approved.

GREETINGS FROM THE ELCA

The Bishop introduced Bishop Theodore Schneider of the Metropolitan Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Bishop Schneider said it was always a joy for him to address a Convention of the Diocese and bring greetings in the name of Christ.The Synod and the Diocese had a cherished relationship of working together, which was both a great joy and a challenge. It had been thought difficult to get through some sectors of Lutheranism, the Call to Common Mission and the Concordat. He said he had found that the tougher part of the work was learning to live together, to share and to build together in mission that we share,not talk about in friendship but share out of devotion to the Gospel. As Bishop Chane had mentioned, a memorandum of understanding had been signed to create a joint Episcopal-Lutheran ministry on the Howard University campus.

It was nearly five years since the signing of the Call to Common Ministry, he said, and there were those who were asking what difference it had made. That was a profound and legitimate question. There had been not only a sharing of relationships, but the beginning of shared ministry, in assisted living for the elderly,transitional housing,and congregationally-based ministries that went beyond simply deciding to hold a liturgy together. The Diocese and the Synod were working together to bring into one expression that that the world can see and rejoice in, in Latino ministries.

But in the process, we learn that each of us has our favorite ways of doing things, and coming together requires finding new ways to do them together. That isn’t always the easiest conversation one wants to enter into. We find that the passing of an agreement is one thing. The growing into a structure of ministry in which we share Christ with others and with one another is challenging. It’s an added item on all the bishops’ agendas. It’s another thing we have to find time for, another meeting to go to, and sometimes another fight to settle. For all of us, it’s learning new ways to come together, and we are committed to it.

184 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

A year ago, as you worked through the questions of this Church as you seek to minister to all people, to be inclusive to all people, I said that we stood with you. We prayed with you, and our relationship was secure.You know that the Lutherans have done a study on gay and lesbian ministries, and we came out with a typical Lutheran understanding. It says nothing’s changed, but you might want to do what you want to anyway. For Lutherans that’s very difficult. I have a feeling that for you it might go a little easier. We will gather in Orlando in August, and now because we live together, we belong together, and we’ve got to work out what that means, and we ask for your prayers.

CASTING OF THE FIRST BALLOT

The President gave instructions for the first round of balloting for diocesan offices, and encouraged the members of the Convention and visitors to stay for the Convention Eucharist, at which the Right Reverend Lloyd Allen, Bishop of Honduras, would be the homilist.

Following the voting, grace was said and the Convention stood in recess until 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. SECOND BUSINESS SESSION Saturday, January 29, 2005

MORNING DEVOTIONS

The Rev. Vincent P. Harris led a service of morning devotions, following which the President called the Convention back into session.

REPORT OF TELLERS ON THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST BALLOT AND CASTING OF A SECOND ROUND OF BALLOTS

Mr. Stephen Dean reported the results of the first round of voting for diocesan offices.A tabulation of the results will be found in the section of this Journal titled Reports of the Tellers.A second round of balloting was then held.

BISHOP’S ADDRESS

The Right Reverend John Bryson Chane, Bishop of Washington, delivered his annual address to the Convention. Its text will be found in the section of this Journal titled The Bishop’s Convention Address.

CONTINUATION OF REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS

The President called on Mr. Ned Freeland and the Rev. Dr. Frank Wade, co-chairs of the Resolutions Committee, to resume presentation of Resolutions the committee had approved for consideration by the Convention.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 185 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

Mr. Freeland said Resolution #2 had been modified by its presenter, in order to sim- plify it. He offered it for consideration.

Resolution #2 — on Welcoming Visitors and New Arrivals from Other Anglican Churches (A revised version was presented and adopted)

Submitted by Richard.A. Best, Jr., Lay Delegate from St. Paul’s, K Street.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred and Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington reaffirms its commitment to welcoming all Anglicans visiting and newly resident within its boundaries to full participation in the Sacraments, life, and ministries of the Cathedral and all parishes, sep- arate congregations, missions, and chapels of the Diocese; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Convention call upon all clergy, wardens, and lay people of the Diocese to welcome visitors and new residents from other Anglican Churches and encourage them to participate fully in the life of the Diocese.

Explanation:The Diocese of Washington plays host to significant numbers of visitors and newly arrived residents who are members of other Anglican Churches. This resolution is designed to acknowledge our responsibility to welcome all Anglicans to our common life as Christian people. This resolution should require no additional funding.

Budget Impact:There is no budget impact for this resolution.

Recommendation:The Resolutions Committee recommends this resolution for consideration.

The submitter of the Resolution,Richard A.Best,Jr.,St.Paul’s K Street,said that in his experience, most Episcopalians come from families that are long resident and thoroughly assimilated. The Episcopal Church has not historically been the church of immigrants. Today, in the Diocese of Washington, there are considerable numbers of immigrants from a multitude of foreign countries, including Africa and the West Indies. A good number of them are Anglicans. They may have different churchmanship, customs may be different, they may like long services and they may not all speak perfect English, but they are Anglicans, our spiritual kith and kin.They are playing vital roles in my parish and many others. His sense was that their presence is not always recognized. We have not always attempted to meet the needs of their communities. The point of the Resolution was simply to call attention to the large number of immigrants in the greater Washington area, to remind us that we have a special duty to welcome our Anglican sisters and brothers, to help them adjust to our diverse and often confusing society, and to bring them within our diocesan family. He said he had no doubt

186 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS that the whole Diocese will be enriched by their contributions to our ongoing Christian life in the future.

The Resolution was approved.

EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT

The President asked Mr. John Vanderstar, a member of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church, to introduce a guest speaker from Episcopal Relief and Development, Ms. Sandra Swan.

Mr.Vanderstar said one of the great rewards and joys of serving on the Executive Council was the opportunity to become acquainted with some of the really superb persons who were in leadership positions at 815 Second Avenue in New York. A prime example of that for him was Sandra Swan. Exactly six years ago she took over as President of what was then called the Presiding Bishop’s Fund for World Relief. In that six-year period the organization had been transformed so that it addresses not just relief, but also development.

Ms. Swan said that four weeks earlier most of us couldn’t spell tsunami. Since tidal waves struck Indonesia and other southeast Asian and African shore locations, she said generous Episcopalians have flooded Episcopal Relief and Development with donations, and ERD has been able to provide emergency assistance to the peo- ple who have been devastated by the disaster. It was the same kind of assistance that the agency has been providing for sixty-five years, since it was founded in 1940 to help people in Europe during the ravages of World War Two.Through the years, with your help, we have provided emergency assistance in the far reaches of the globe, funded by contributions from Episcopalians who want to help people in need. Your special contributions, whenever there has been a natural or a civil disaster, have allowed us to help literally millions of people.

Ms. Swan described ERD’s many and varied programs at length, around the world, in Asia,Africa, Central and South America and in the United States

Immediately after hearing the news of the tsunami, she said, our staff at Episcopal Relief and Development got in touch with our Anglican partners in south Asia. This is the way we always work, through the local Anglican church wherever possible. This means that we have a superb delivery system already in place, allowing us to respond quickly, so we immediately sent money for water, food and medicine. When the Bishop of Colombo, in Sri Lanka, was concerned about shelter for the displaced, we immediately flew in one thousand large tents. They are blue plasticized fabric impregnated with insecticide.We were excited, a week ago Tuesday, to see an article in the New York Times about relief work in Sri Lanka, accompanied by a huge color picture of our tents.

Now that the emergency situation has stabilized a little bit, we’re beginning to do the rebuilding work. We have a team in south Asia, looking at and assessing

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 187 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS the best ways for us to respond to the long-term needs of those who were devastated. This is a hallmark of Episcopal Relief and Development. While we do provide emergency assistance,we don’t just get up and leave when the crisis is over. We stay with people as they rebuild their lives.

At the same that we are responding to this large-scale disaster, we’re continuing to meet needs around the world.We have responded to the war and famine in Sudan for years, concentrating our efforts on helping the south Sudanese, particularly working in refugee camps. Recently, as the conflict has spread into Darfur, we have increased our assistance there.

Right here at home, thanks to your contributions last summer, we worked with twenty-six dioceses affected by the hurricane season. Fortunately, not all of them needed additional assistance, but those who did are still struggling to recover and to provide assistance to low-income residents who were devastated by these storms. We met last week with the four Florida dioceses to help them put together a long-term recovery plan. The storms also affected the Caribbean, and we’re working with dioceses there,particularly in the West Indies,to help those whose livelihoods were destroyed.

ERD also works with ecumenical agencies, such as the Middle East Council of Churches, where help is being provided to help families in Iraq who were suffering even before the war began, and whose lives have been turned upside down by the current hostilities. ERD prefers to strengthen communities from within, and that’s what makes our work sustainable.

All its programs were made possible by the generosity of Episcopalians in the United States, and ERD is deeply grateful to them. For sixty-five years, the Presiding Bishop’s Fund and now ERD has been helping Episcopalians to reach out to people in need around the world, helping to bring God’s peace and justice to those who suffer. It is a ministry of the whole Church, for the whole world.

The President thanked Ms. Swan for what he termed her magnificent leadership of ERD.

YOUTH MINISTRY AND CHRISTIAN FORMATION

The President called on Mr. Darren McCutchen and Ms. Sara Stonesifer, members of the Committee on Youth, to report on youth ministry in the diocese. Their presentation was accompanied by pictures on the screens in the nave.

Mr. McCutchen, a member of St. Timothy’s, Washington, said the committee holds several events a year for persons in the sixth through twelfth grades. In the previous year, some thirty parishes and at least three hundred fifty younger persons took part in at least one of the events. Ms. Stonesifer, a member of Christ Church, Rockville, said the committee hopes to top both those numbers in the coming year. The largest event was the Cathedral Lock-in, where 280 adults

188 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS and young persons spend the night in community, playing, praying and making new friends. Mr. McCutchen said a lot of time was also spent and prayer, thinking and praying about what role God plays in the various aspects of our lives.

In the coming summer, fifteen youths and four adults would represent the Diocese at the Episcopal Youth Event in Berea, Kentucky, a triennal gathering of young persons to celebrate the broad diversity of the Episcopal Church. Also planned is a mission trip to Manley Hot Springs, west of Fairbanks,Alaska, and a High School Retreat on a weekend in March.

The young people of the Diocese, Mr. McCutcheon said, are not the future of the Church.They are the Church today.

Ms. Laura Bachman reported on the work of the Christian Formation Task Force. She said a survey had been made of individual parishes, to find out what they were doing about Christian formation, what was working, what was not, and what the Diocese could do to strengthen the already-vibrant work going on in the community.

The Task Force, she said, drafted a definition of Christian formation as part of its work. It spans one’s entire life, from the cradle to the grave, and encompasses the sacramental high points of the journey with Christ. This continuing process transforms us through the power of the Holy Spirit into Christ’s likeness, and empowers us to fulfill our baptismal covenant and become disciples and support others in their life with Christ. Formation focuses on the Gospel as the instruction book for our ministry, and centers around the Holy Eucharist, which renews, reinvigorates and recharges the process. Each time we welcome into the Church through the sacrament of baptism we make a promise, answering the question,“Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?” But how do we live up to this vow and do the intentional work of supporting each person in the way best suited to enrich their journey with Christ? Happily, there were as many ways to nurture the lifelong journey of formation as there were people walking the road.

Our job as faithful disciples appears deceptively simple. Create opportunities for others to know and to love Christ. Design worship experiences that engage the congregation and allow people of all kinds to feel a connection with God’s grace and truth. Teach the Bible. Go out and speak about our faith. We are all doing the work of Christian formation all the time, and it is important not to under- estimate the impact we can have on those around us.

The good news is that there are already many people actively engaged in the work of formation throughout the Diocese.We hope that our work in the Task Force will spark a continuing process where these dedicated people can feel part of a larger community that shares its gifts with others. Ms. Bachman said her work co-chairing the Task Force had been a real blessing, and her prayer was that our work will result in a way to share that blessing with all of you and those in your churches.

ACADEMIC MINISTRIES

The President announced that because the Rev. Canon Preston Hannibal, Canon for Academic Ministries, had to be out of town to conduct a funeral, Canon to the Ordinary Paul Cooney would read his report to the Convention on Academic Ministries in the Diocese.

It began with a quotation from Psalm 78: “I will open my mouth in a parable. I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.That which we have heard and known, and which our forebears have told us. We will not hide from our children, but we will recount to generations to come the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the Lord, and the wonderful works that God has done, that generations to come might know, and children yet unborn, that they in their turn might tell their children, so that they might put their trust in God, and not forget the deeds of God but keep the commandments of the Lord.”

Those words, Canon Hannibal said, might be an appropriate way to begin an overview of the part that academic ministries play of fulfilling the mission strategy in the life of this Diocese. One of the roles of the chaplains or religion teachers in our schools is to recount the praiseworthy deeds and the wonderful works God has done, but their task is also to teach our children, teenagers and young adults by word and example to intelligently and faithfully discern the workings of God in this troubled world.

In the past year and a half, Canon Hannibal said he has had the privilege of working with the principals and chaplains of the eighteen schools of this diocese, as well as the chaplains and campus coordinators who take the leadership roles in ministering to eight college and university chaplaincies spread throughout our diocese.Through God’s good grace, much has been accomplished in a variety of ways,in worship,in the classroom or on the playing fields,or simply by their very presence, our school chaplains minister each day to over five thousand students in pre-K through grade twelve. More often than not, these important ministries include the faculty and staff, as well as the families, alumni and constituencies of the school community. Their school ministries open the endless possibilities of serving God in this diocese and throughout the world, to a population that is often unchurched and totally uninformed as to the good works of the Christian community.

As we enter a new year, one of the aims of the Office of Academic Ministries, in conjunction with various members of our school communities, is to explore what it means to be an Episcopal school in the Diocese of Washington. The rich diversity and multi-cultural as well as international character of our diocese offers us an important opportunity to begin to define who we are and how best to teach our children in settings that are, at the very least, try to model the very finest examples of community of faith.

190 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

As we attempt to define who we are as Episcopal schools, our college and university ministries are defining who they are, and how best to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in the midst of their secular academic community. Whether it is our oldest campus ministry at the University of Maryland, or at Howard University, or at our newest Canterbury Club, at the George Washington University, or Bowie State, all of our chaplains or campus coordinators are dedicated to ministering to a population that truly is a seeker generation. Perhaps a measure of the success of our differing campus ministry programs is a $90,000 grant recently awarded to the Diocese by the Good Samaritan Foundation to support a new campus ministry at Bowie State University. Through prayer, Bible study, community service projects, ecumenical activities, participation in their local congregations, and much more, our college students are undertaking a servant ministry that we all can be proud of.

The report concluded by reviewing a number of the campus and school ministries. Mr. Cooney then introduced Ms. Carol Franek, head of Grace Episcopal School, the Rev. Elizabeth Orens, senior chaplain at the National Cathedral School, and the Rev. John Ball, rector of Trinity Church in St. Mary’s City and chaplain at St. Mary’s College, who spoke briefly about their schools and programs.

NOONDAY DEVOTIONS

The Rev.Peter Antoci and the Rev.Robyn Franklin-Vaughn led a service of Noonday Devotions.

CONGREGATION — MULTIMEDIA SUPPORT AND TOOLS

Mr. James Naughton, diocesan Director of Communications, said the Diocese and the Cathedral had launched an on-line Advent calendar on the diocesan Website, edow.org, on December 1, 2004. It had links to a creche exhibit in the Cathedral’s rare book library, to a daily meditation chosen by a St. Columba’s parishioner,Vicki Black, to a site that enabled one to pray the liturgy of the hour, and to a site that listed the opportunities for giving to Episcopal Relief and Development.

He said that illustrates how the Internet can be used as a wonderful tool for evangelism. Traffic at the Diocese’s Web site increased roughly 250 percent during Advent, to an average of more than 1,650 visits and 113 thousand hits a day.In January we had about a thousand visits a day,which is an increase of about 50 percent from our pre-calendar high.

When people come to the Website, a mountain of information about the Church is at their fingertips. This is why we conceived the Advent calendar and why we include fairly regular news updates on the site. Our user information indicates that these are the most popular features, and they are the most accessible to people who are not already members of the Episcopal Church.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 191 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

Using the Web as a tool for evangelism requires an understanding that the word is Internet and not Intranet. It is important to have information that your current members depend on, but don’t miss the opportunity to appeal to church shoppers and seekers.These are people who might not feel comfortable darkening the doors of your church on a Sunday morning, but are willing to learn about you in the safety of their own homes or offices.Amy Elliott, our Webmaster, devoted her time - and your money - to developing what we think is the most comprehensive Find a Church section in the entire country. If there is an Episcopal Church at Capital South Metro,or on the F-1 bus line in Prince George’s County,any of these things can be plugged into the search form. They will find a link to the parish Website, which will give information on its programs and services.

We give regular workshops for parish Webmasters and newsletter editors to learn whatever skills we have that they might find useful. We have initiated an annual reception for parish administrators and communicators, and awards to recognize the best work that’s being done.

The Website is communication as outreach. The Washington Window is communication as in-reach.We send it to every member of the Diocese for whom we have an address. It is the best tool we have for introducing our diocese to itself, knitting it together through shared stories. Under Lucy Chumbley’s leadership, the Window won five awards at last year’s Episcopal Communicators convention.

Our Church and our Diocese need to grow. There are more Roman Catholics in Los Angeles than there are Episcopalians in the United States. Advertising can be one engine of this growth. Some day I would like to do a multimedia campaign, television, radio, posters on buses, but at the moment that’s beyond our reach, so we looked at our budget and the possibility of a very brief print campaign, or a sustained campaign based in movie theaters, and we decided to put your money on the movies. Beginning in mid-November an $18,000 campaign ran in area theaters. By December ten ads promoting twenty-one diocesan churches were appearing on eighty-nine screens in nine theaters, with at least one in every region of the Diocese. They directed persons to a Website, wewelcomeyou.org, which had information on all the churches and what a visitor can expect.There had been more than a thousand visits to the site.

Mr. Naughton then showed a new eight-minute television production on the Diocese of Washington. DVDs of it were available at the Convention and, he said,“We hope you pick up a basketful,”take them home and show them at your next parish gathering. Directed by Hugh Drescher of Drescher Films, a member of St. Columba’s, it focused on three priorities of the Diocese, congregational life, youth and outreach to the needy. It did so without using those phrases, but by telling the stories of several parishes and parishioners.

REPORT OF TELLERS ON THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND BALLOT AND CASTING OF A THIRD BALLOT

Mr. Stephen Dean reported the results of the second round of voting for diocesan offices.A tabulation of the results will be found in the section of this Journal titled Reports of the Tellers.A third round of balloting was then held.

There had been no election for clerical deputy to the Provincial Synod, the Rev.D.Thomas Andrews and the Rev.Dr.Virginia Brown-Nolan both having received fewer total votes than the number needed to elect. Dr. Brown-Nolan asked to have her name withdrawn, leaving Father Andrews the remaining candidate. He was declared to have been elected.

RECESS

The Convention then stood in recess for luncheon. THIRD BUSINESS SESSION Saturday, January 29, 2005 CALL TO ORDER

The President called the Convention back into session and asked the Rev. Canon Mary Sulerud to discuss the work of the Legacy Society.

THE LEGACY SOCIETY

Canon Sulerud said there are many images in the Bible that speak of the immeasurable bounty of the gifts that God gives to God’s people. Of these, the symbol of the stars is one of the richest. It is to the stars that God points when God speaks to Abram of the descendants who will claim Abram as father and Sarai as mother. In the Torah, the stars remain an enduring symbol to the people of Israel, of God’s promise to Abraham and to Sarah. Stars are a symbol of heavenly light amid the darkness of night, a guide for travelers throughout Holy Scripture, until finally a star rests over the house where the Magi find Jesus. The stars are a symbol of order and constancy in Creation, until the end of time.

In the book of Revelation the stars are symbols of the angels of the churches, and in a wonderful and seldom-sung hymn, “The stars are all above, faithful witnesses who night and day sing praises to our God around the throne of heaven.” When we ascribe to the faithful the image of being stars, we are saying something very important about the work and ministry on Christ’s behalf,that they do and that they did on earth.This statement is that the faithful make contributions to the glory of God and the Church, greater than we can estimate or imagine. It is also a way of speaking of the effects of their gifts,that like starlight itself is often seen long after

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 193 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS the stars have ceased to exist.It is in this spirit that we have sung the hymn and have used it as the theme for launching the Diocesan Legacy Society,the Second Century Fund.

The Second Century Fund was created by the Diocesan Council this past year as an honorary society to thank all those who have made a financial commitment in their estate plan to support a local Episcopal congregation, an Episcopal institution and/or the Diocese of Washington. She said she was happy to report that we have been the recipients of at least two of those planned gifts this year.

Another important role of the Second Century Fund is to serve as a means of promoting planned giving through a will or some form of life income gift. The name of the Fund witnesses to the reality that we have entered a new century of mission and ministry in the life of this Diocese, and we can only faithfully engage in the work of mission and ministry, to which our Bishop so eloquently called us, if we make the leap of faith to give to the Church, to leave behind what we so clearly could not take with us, so that our children and children’s children will not enter another century unprepared for its promises and possibilities.

I am inviting all of you and the members of congregations and institutions that you represent here at the Convention to become founding members of the Second Century Fund. You do this in shockingly simple ways. First, by going home and taking the step to write a will - the Prayer Book commands you to do it - and in that will you include a gift to your congregation, an Episcopal organization, and/or the Diocese. Then you take the wonderful star-studded pen that we have given you (they’re in baskets at the back, if you’ve lost yours), take the enrollment form that is in your folder, and complete it by March 31, 2005. All who enroll by that time will be honored at a reception in the Bishop’s Garden on May 1.

Those of you blessed to be in congregations with endowment funds know what a gift it can be to have available resources for new ministry and new mission, and to support ventures too risky, too challenging, to be underwritten by the operating budget of a parish.These endowments were built by the generous gifts of the saints of your congregation who gave to ministry they never saw, but believed would come to pass. The Diocese of Washington is no exception. Imagine what would be missing in our lives, our forward movement in mission and ministry, if it were not for the planned gift of Ruth Gregory Soper. The Samaritan Fund Grant that this diocese has received to support Bowie State was available because a consortium of families pooled their inheritances and made this money available to the Church.

Long after the givers have ceased to be, the planned gifts made to our congrega- tions, to our church schools, to our service organizations and to the Diocese shine a light of faith that continues to illumine the path of the Church.The time has come for you to encourage the birth of new stars in the heavens, to look up and see how you too can be counted as a light through your own planned gift for future ministry. When your gift is received, your eyes will be turned to the throne of God, but your 194 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS vision will continue to make it possible for others to see the light that is Christ. Planned giving is not to be taken lightly.We need your gift.We need it now.

COURTESY RESOLUTION

At the President’s invitation, Ms. Libby Butts introduced a Resolution of Courtesy.

Resolution Expressing Appreciation for the Outstanding Work of the Rev. Roy S. Turner During his Service as Priest-in-Charge at St. James’, Bowie from October, 2002 until July, 2004 (adopted)

Submitted by Libby Butts, delegate, St. James’, Huntington Parish, and the Vestry of St. James’, and adopted by the Region 5 Assembly.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington expresses its appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding work of the Rev. Roy S. Turner during his service as Priest-in-Charge at St. James’ Church, Bowie, Maryland from October 2002 until July 2004.

Explanation: Fr. Turner came to St. James’ at a time of transition. The church’s long-time Vicar had retired and St. James’ was in the process of becoming a parish of the Diocese of Washington after more than 100 years as a mission. In addition, the church was completing a major and complex building project undertaken with major support from the Diocese. Fr. Turner’s superior pastoral skills and four decades of experience as both rector and priest-in-charge enabled him to provide truly outstanding service to the congregation. He got to know the people of St. James’ very well and kept the church together and moving forward as it moved from mission to parish status, completed and opened its new education and administration building and carried out the search for a new rector. He actively sought out new members for the church from the local neighborhood and encouraged members to bring neighbors and friends to church with them. As a result, St. James’ continued to grow during this “interim” period.Among his accomplishments, he established an adult education program and recruited a new generation of acolytes,all of whom are now active participants in our worship.

His deep faith, which is at the center of his being, showed through to all members as an example of a Christian life. His outgoing, warm and caring personality made him an easy person to know and work with. He became a true friend to many in the congregation while maintaining his pastoral role.

Given that Fr. Turner has decided that St. James’ will be his last calling as a priest-in-charge, the people of St. James’ believe it appropriate that

the Convention recognize his outstanding service through this resolution of appreciation.

The Resolution was approved. The President asked Father Turner to stand. There was a prolonged round of applause.

THE MISSION AND MINISTRY OF THE DIOCESE

In the annual report to the Convention of the Council of the Diocese, the Rev.Karla Woggon, Council, said Bishop Chane, in the two and a half years since his election, had held up servant leadership as a model for ministry in the Diocese. She said it was his conviction, which she was sure many shared, that the best way to build up the Body of Christ is to make resources and expertise available to the leaders of the diocese.

As you have been told, she said, the Diocese is pursuing three principal goals. We want to promote thriving congregations, support compelling youth ministries and engage in vigorous missionary outreach, both here in our diocese and in the larger world. First among these three equals is the promotion of thriving congregations.

Most of the work of our clergy, lay leaders, the diocesan staff and the Council of the Diocese has been devoted to this goal. Bishop Chane sets aside two nights each week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, to meet with the leaders of selected congregations.This is in addition to his regular Sunday visiting schedule.Tuesdays are devoted to parishes not scheduled to receive a formal episcopal visitation during the calendar year.The Wednesday night meetings, often over dinner, are held with leaders of the congregation he will be visiting on the following Sunday.These get-togethers help him keep in touch with you and you with him.

In the past year, the Diocese has significantly increased the kinds and caliber of resources available to parishes through the work of the diocesan staff, and through the work of local parishes. If you read your Washington Window, you know that St. George’s, Glenn Dale, and the Church of the Redeemer in Bethesda helped pioneer the development of Via Media, a new video-based curriculum that can be used for both Christian formation and in welcoming newcomers. In addition, the diocesan Council has received the reportof the Task Force on Christian Formation, accepted its recommendations for consideration, and has established a Christian Education Committee to continue that important work.

The Great Commission challenges us to build up the Body of Christ. This year a dozen parishes, epitomized by St. Thomas’, Croom, began the productive work of analyzing their mission field by attending diocesan-sponsored workshops where participants learned to mine the demographic riches of Percept and the research provided by the Church Reports Company. In addition, twenty-five parishes collab- orated with Jim Naughton, the Director of Communications, on visibility studies. These are top-to-bottom analyses, touching on everything from where to plant your

196 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS church signs to whether or not you trim your trees, as well as advice on how to romance local business owners and how to decide where and when to advertise.

St. John’s, Norwood, pioneered the use of colorful banners to draw motorists off busy Wisconsin Avenue and into the church.Twenty-one parishes are involved in the Diocese’s $18,000-dollar cinema-based advertising campaign. So far these ads, which are playing in every Region of the Diocese, have led more than two thousand people to visit either parish Web sites or wewelcomeyou.org, the site the Diocese has built to support this effort.

Publications specialist Lucy Chumbley and communication assistant Amy Elliott have continued to portray our diocese as a vibrant, caring and spirit-filled community in the award-winning Washington Window and on the Diocese’s deep, rich Website. In addition,Amy has worked with parish communicators to build or significantly revise seventeen parish Websites.

The Diocese helped raise both money and consciousness about the ways we use money through the energetic work of the Rev. Mary Sulerud, Canon for Stewardship. Last year Mary gave forty-eight parish stewardship workshops.

As their pictures were showed on the screens in the nave, the Council Moderator listed a number of other resource persons on the diocesan staff, and the assistance they are prepared to render to parishes with a wide variety of problems ranging from insurance to building construction, to support and services for clergy.

Deputy for Youth Ministry Paul Canady, she continued, spends much of his time boosting youth ministry at the parish level. He has visited more than fifty congrega- tions, preaching, teaching and listening to what parents and their youth have to say about youth ministry at the parish level.With Betsy Gonzalez of St.Columba’s, he has re-energized the Committee on Youth.The annual Cathedral Lock-in attracts as many as two hundred fifty youth and seventy adults. Middle school and high school retreats take kids out of their usual environments to a place apart, where they can socialize, play games and pray. For the first time in the history of our Diocese, our youth events sometimes require waiting lists.

The Rev. Preston Hannibal, Canon for Academic Ministries, is addressing one of the three great weaknesses identified during the Bishop search, the lack of real ministry to our college students. He has also begun reaching out to the eighteen Episcopal schools in the Diocese, forming a network of their chaplains, who shape the faith of more than five thousand people.This year the Diocese has continued its support of two full-time chaplains, one at the University of Maryland and one at Howard University. The Diocese also supports eight campus-based ministries. Working with Mary Sulerud, Canon Hannibal has obtained a $90,000-dollar grant to establish campus ministry at Bowie State University. What was once one of the Diocese’s greatest weaknesses is fast becoming a signature strength.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 197 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

In the fields of foreign and domestic outreach, our diocese does not know its own strength, by which I mean that so many schools, congregations and social service institutions are involved in these endeavors that we can’t keep track of them all. Perhaps you are aware of some of the more visible social service agencies with connections either to our diocese or to its congregations.These include Episcopal Senior Ministries, Transitional Housing Corporation, Samaritan Ministry, the Episcopal Center for Children, and the bilingual Rosemont Center.The Peace Commission administered by Carol Schwobel, has been active in clean-up efforts on the Anacostia River.

But almost every parish in our diocese responds in some way to the charge put before us in Matthew 25, to feed the hungry, nurse the sick and visit the prisoner. The Welcome Table Ministry feeds more than two hundred every Sunday morning at the Church of the Epiphany. St. Patrick’s has a relationship with Native American parishes in the West, and sponsors mission trips to Haiti. St. Bartholomew’s, Laytonsville, sponsors a school for female orphans in Kenya. African Palms USA, a ministry of St. John’s, Olney, has awarded almost $1.5 million in self-help grants to groups in Africa. St. Stephen and the Incarnation has given four of the lost boys of the Sudan a fresh start in this country. St. Margaret’s and St. James’, Potomac, support prison ministries. Ascension, Silver Spring, runs programs in tutoring and English as a second language, and Ascension, Lexington Park, has recently opened a second shelter.

A lot of good is being done by people of our diocese that we are simply unaware of.We can say with some certainty that as a diocese, in the field of global mission our relationships with the Church in Southern Africa and with the Diocese of Honduras are our principal priorities. Ms. Woggon detailed a wide range of projects in both areas with which the Diocese is involved, and others will be underway in the coming year.

We still need a comprehensive plan for building congregations and enhancing mission in the underserved population.Last year we began moving in that direction. The Rev. Simon Bautista Betances was called to be the first full-time missioner to Latinos and Latinas in the diocese. As chair of the Latino Ministry Committee, the Rev.Luis León, with Canon Carol Cole Flanagan and others, has begun targeting areas in which we can concentrate our efforts.

This last year,Council created task forces on Congregational Development,Christian Formation and Urban Ministry to explore how best work in this diocese can be done in these areas. In addition, Council members and diocesan staff have participated in a pilot program on racial reconciliation, and work has intensified to raise up a new generation of leaders in our diocese.

Any organization that spends as much time asking for money as the Church does, must be both transparent and accountable. Paul Cooney, Canon to the Ordinary, and Eva Myking, the diocesan administrator, have worked with Council’s Financial Oversight Committee, led by Mike Febrey to guarantee 198 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS that diocesan fuds are well spent. In addition, several Council members have lent their expertise to parish treasurers and vestries.There are efforts underway to form a network of accounting and financial professionals who will be available to congregations on a pro bono basis to adivse and assist in matters of finanical management, cash flow, budgeting, capital improvements and investment.

TREASURER’S REPORT

The Treasurer, Ms. Salli Hartman, presented a preliminary year end statement showing that if all diocesan pledge commitments were fulfilled by the parishes, the Diocese would close the year within several hundred dollars of the budget.

She said the annual 2003 audit had been completed early in the year, with a clean opinion,which meant that the financial records of the Diocese had been maintained according to generally accepted accounting principles.The 2004 audit was to begin in February.

The report was approved without discussion.

PRESENTATION AND ADOPTION OF 2005 BUDGET

The Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Michael Febrey, presented the 2005 Budget of the Diocese for the Convention’s consideration. Money and mission, he said, are indissolubly bound together. When we speak about budget, we are in reality speaking to our mission plan. During our Regional Assemblies, a rector from Region 6 told us that in his congregation, they no longer used the word “budget” but referred to that document as a “mission action plan.”I wish to thank that rector, and I hope he is with us in this convention today.

This is year two of a direction begun over two years ago, and as such does not really look much different from last year’s budget or mission action plan.

Definition: You will hear me use the pronoun “we” throughout this presentation. Please understand that the word “we” means all of us. Again, I am not a Church House insider. I am a volunteer from my parish, the same as many here.

Before we get to the actual numbers in the budget, it may be helpful to explain what is still in the process of being created.To aid in this, I will use a symbol. I like symbols. Language and more specifically its usage change in time, but symbols do not. I might point out that in our lifetimes, the language of our liturgy has changed, but our symbols have not been altered in over two thousand years.

Now, it has been useful to me to think of what was being assembled as a wheel. Along the outer edge of the wheel are the congregations, and this makes sense, since congregational life is, excuse the cliché,“where the rubber meets the road.” The spokes and the outer edge both represent lines of communication.The center or hub represents Church House.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 199 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

This is a service model. A request for help or information or whatever might originate at a congregation, say at Congregation A, and travel along a spoke to Church House. For example, the congregation might be considering an expansion of their service facilities.They will be directed to both the Finance and Architectural committees for help. Both committees have vast experience in those areas.

However,there are some questions that cannot be answered here at Church House, such as, “How do we convince our congregation to endorse this project?” And it would serve everyone’s best interest to be able to put Congregation A in touch with Congregation B, which recently went through with such a project. I know there is great need for such a system in my little corner of the world. I get two or three calls a day from rectors, wardens and treasurers. Sometimes it is a difficult question, sometimes a simple question, but questions none the less.

And not everything costs money. Other dioceses that I have communicated with have supplemented their efforts through a strong corps of volunteers. We are in the process of developing that core.

You might laugh at my old wagon wheel, and wonder why I chose something that has been out of general use for over a hundred years, as a symbol of how we wish to operate.However,it is the principles employed that are everlasting,and will carry us into the future.

Now, I will not waste your time reviewing all the details of the budget. If you have questions concerning any item, there will be ample time to address those after this presentation.

Revenues: We are projecting a slight increase in parish giving, although we are painfully aware that for most parishes 2004 was not a good year for pledge income. We are hopeful for 2005, but we are not in a position to forecast the results as yet.

Discussing parish giving to the Diocese, I wish to point out that we are not where we thought we were last year at the time of Convention. In fact, a lot of work will have to be done to even get where we thought we were. 2004 was a year of discovery, and one of the discoveries was that the needs of our congregations are far greater than we had ever imagined.

With this in mind, we are forming a financial ministry, comprised of accounting and financial professionals to aid congregations in need. You will be hearing from us shortly requesting volunteers from your parish.

But financial ministry alone is not nearly enough.We are going to need volunteers skilled in the areas of congregational development, conflict management and resolution,stewardship and many other areas of church life.Suffice it to say that helping those parishes who are in need is the top priority of this diocese, and we will use whatever means necessary to accomplish this.

200 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

I was asked last year when we would be in a position whereby parish giving would cover our operating expenses without using Soper Fund money. I had some projections that indicated it would be between five and six years, certainly. If asked that question today, I could only answer that we will not be balanced until we have tended to and healed each other.

Expenses: Expenses have been held to the 2004 level.The only increase is in giving to the National Church, and the increase is one of formula which for 2005 is based on the 2003 normal operating income.The income from the Soper Trust is considered part of our normal operating income, and is included in our calculation for National Church giving the same as any other revenue.

Highlighting several features of the expenditure for 2005, Mr. Febrey noted that diocesan salaries would be increased only to give a cost of living benefit to staff members making less than $70,000.

Youth programs and youth ministry would receive ten percent of mission and ministry funds, congregational development thirty-eight percent, and global outreach, including payment of the assessment from the National Church, nineteen percent.

Mr. Febrey said he wanted to share some statistics from the 1970’s that he had prepared for the Diocesan Council. He chose the 1970’s, he said, because the times were very much like today, in that we were involved in controversy. with the members of the Convention. In the Seventies the controversy was the ordination of women. The average Sunday attendance throughout the Diocese remained stable, averaging about 23,000, and in fact grew slightly after the General Convention of 1976, when the Canons were changed to permit the ordination of women.

What was more surprising, he said, was when he compared the Seventies’ average Sunday attendance with 2002, the last full year before the General Convention of 2003. The average Sunday attendance was 21,998. There had been no growth in over twenty years.

He reminded the clergy and delegates that this is our budget, and the responsibility of everyone voting today. If you have questions, we invite them. If you have ideas, heaven knows we need them. If you have concerns, we invite them also.

During a brief discussion that followed, Mr. John Vanderstar urged that the Council of the Diocese investigate alternatives to using Soper Fund money for operating income. Ms. Karla Woggon said that was already on the Council’s agenda.

The Rev. Dr. David Pollock praised the plan to spend thirty-nine percent of mission and ministry funds on congregational development. He said he could not think of a better use of diocesan funds.The Rev. Richard Downing agreed.

The budget was then approved by a show of hands. JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 201 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

REPORT OF TELLERS ON THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND BALLOT AND CASTING OF A THIRD BALLOT

Mr. Stephen Dean reported the results of the second round of voting for diocesan offices.A tabulation of the results will be found in the section of this Journal titled Reports of the Tellers.A third round of balloting was then held.

RESOLUTION TO SET THE DATE AND PLACE OF THE ONE HUNDRED ELEVENTH CONVENTION

The Secretary, Mr. Baldwin, moved that the One Hundred Eleventh Convention of the Diocese of Washington be held on January 27 and 28, 2006, at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, also known as the Washington Cathedral. The Resolution was approved.

CONTINUATION OF REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS

The Rev. Dr. Francis A. Wade, co-chair of the committee, introduced Resolution #3 for the consideration of the Convention.

Resolution #3 — on Holding A Diocese-Wide Conversation On Marriage (adopted as amended)

Submitted by John Vanderstar, St. Columba’s, Deputy to General Convention and member of Executive Council.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington, in response to a resolution of the Executive Council, calls for conversation on the subject of marriage with particular reference to Christian marriage as defined in the Canons of the Church and Prayer Book to be held in and among the congregations of the Diocese, including:

a. The biblical and theological basis for marriage; b.The history of marriage as an institution; c. The economics of marriage; d.The relationship between the church and state on the subject of marriage; e. The Christian and societal purposes served by the institution of marriage; f. The characteristics of marriage that promote or undermine such societal purposes; and g. Public and ecclesial policy regarding the dissolution of marriage and remarriage; and be it further

202 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

RESOLVED, that the Bishop appoint a task force, comprised of persons who have knowledge of the foregoing subjects, to assemble materials that would assist in the holding of such conversation; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Bishop is asked to report progress on this initiative at the One Hundred Eleventh Convention.

Explanation: The subject of marriage is often discussed in the press and in legislative and other arenas, but much of the discussion is ill informed and polemical. The Church has a strong interest in the institution of marriage but ought to do what it reasonably can to promote informed discussion on the subject. The ultimate objective would be to strengthen the institution of marriage on the basis of such discussion.

The Executive Council of the Episcopal Church, meeting in Burlington,VT, June 13, 2004, adopted a resolution calling for a church-wide conversation on marriage, including the same topics listed above, and has set in motion the holding of such a conversation at the 75th General Convention in Columbus, Ohio, in June 2006. Executive Council has also asked dioce- ses to hold such conversations.

Budget Impact: There is sufficient resource in the 2003 budget to cover the minimum costs of this resolution.

Mr. John Vanderstar, St. Columba’s, a deputy to the General Convention and author of the Resolution,said he was also author of a Resolution that the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church approved in 2004, calling for a Church-wide conversation on marriage. I’ve had a lot of conversations with people at the National Church level, and some think this would be a very good thing to do. That Resolution also calls on the Dioceses to hold such conversations, and that’s the reason I put forward this Resolution before us.

When you read about marriage in the press, you either read about film stars getting married or un-married or not getting married, or you read about threats to traditional marriage. That led me to the conclusion that we really ought to have a conversation about what traditional marriage is. I suspect a lot of people have opinions and ideas, but may not have a lot of information, for example, about the relationship between the Church and the State on the subject of marriage.

I want to make a second point. I chose the word conversation very carefully, and I was very pleased to hear Bishop Chane use the word several times in your address this morning. We spend an awful lot of our time debating and passing resolutions, and by “we” I mean the Church generally and the nation generally. We seem to have a mind set that if you’re going to talk about something, it has to have a resolution that will lay down a rule, or prescribe behavior. I think we need to back away from that, and this might be a good place to start.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 203 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

We could have people who know something about one of these aspects of marriage present information, and then encourage in our parishes and maybe next year at the Convention a conversation-not trying to change people’s minds or come up with new rules, but just having a conversation about the subject of marriage, an institution in which the Church has a powerful interest.

The Rev. Dr. J. Carleton Hayden, St. George’s Parish, moved an amendment to the Resolution.He said he supported the Resolution strongly because he believed that we do need to look at the institution of marriage, and to have a series of conversations throughout the Church would be,I think,very salutary.The amend- ments I propose are all along the same line of thought, which is one that makes a distinction between marriage as it obtains throughout our society and Christian marriage.That distinction has run throughout the history of the Christian church, and I think we need to keep that in mind, particularly as society becomes more diverse. He said the amendment he proposes would clarify that.

Dr. Hayden proposed adding the words “with particular reference to Christian marriage” after the word “marriage” in the first paragraph; adding the words “Christian and” to clause e to make it read “The Christian and societal purposes…”; striking out the word “societal”in clause f;adding the words “and ecclesial”to clause g to make it read “Public and ecclesial policy…”; and adding the words “and remarriage” at the end of the clause.

He said he proposed the change in clause e because the Church has always seen marriage as for the procreation of children, if that is God’s will, but particularly for the nurture of those children within the life of the Christian community, which is essential to the Church’s growth and to evangelism.The changes in clause g were to direct that both public and Church policy should be discussed, and to include the subject of divorce, because the Christian understanding of marriage has traditionally been that it is permanent and life-long. The issue of remarriage has been the one that the Church has faced, rather than the dissolution of the relationship.

The Rev. Thomas W.S. Logan, Jr., rector of Calvary, DC, asked whether it would be in order to offer a friendly amendment to the amendment. Informed that it was, he proposed adding the words “as defined in the Canons of the Church and the Prayer Book”after the words Dr.Hayden’s amendment would add to the first paragraph. Dr. Hayden said that was acceptable to him. The chair ruled that the amendment would be added to the amendment on the floor.

Mr.Wardell Townsend,Ascension, Silver Spring, asked what would be the end result of the discussions on marriage that the Resolution proposes, and asked whether the author of the Resolution would respond to that question.

Mr.Vanderstar said he did not intend an end result, except to achieve better under- standing of the institution of marriage.He did not intend the conversations to result in a Canon Law change, a change in the Prayer Book, or anything.

204 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

The question was called, and the amendment to the Resolution was approved by a show of hands.

Mr. David Bickel,All Saints’, Chevy Chase, questioned the timing of the Resolution. The Primates, who would be meeting in February, had received a recommendation from the House of Bishops to do a Communion-wide study on sexuality.The House of Bishops would meet subsequently, followed by a meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council. It all had to do with subjects touching on marriage, which he thought was such a sensitive issue that the Diocese, which has a reputation of acting unilaterally, which has caused deep divisions within the diocese, might better set aside the subject until next year.

The President remarked that the General Convention Committee on National Concerns had been asked to contribute material on the subject. There would be conversations at the national level that would be intentional and transparent. He assumed that a discussion in the Diocese would also be intentional and transparent, and that there would be a lot of crossover, given the sensitivity of the issue and the need for clarification between the secular understanding of marriage and its sacramental nature. He thought that if the Resolution passed, going into conversations would be a very healthy thing to do.

Mr. Rusty Bishop, St. Mark’s, Fairland, asked for clarification of the amended Resolution. It very specifically addresses the question of marriage between a man and a woman. Would the passage of the Resolution bind our discussions strictly along those lines, or is it more broad?

Dr. Wade noted that the Resolution said “with particular reference to,” which he thought would not be a limiting factor, but a point of emphasis.

Mr. Charles Clagett, Christ Church,Accokeek, thought the timing of the Resolution was rather poor.After listening to the budget report, a lot of individuals are sitting on the fence, watching the debate that is going on in the Church.The Resolution could be a further wedge to push people out the door and add to the diocese’s budget woes. He said it might be prudent to delay action another year, until after the meetings of the Primates and other Church bodies,to give more time to see how they play out.

Ms. B. Raiford Gaffney, St. Mark’s, Capitol Hill, said that as a woman, and a widow, she supported the Resolution and looked forward to the Episcopal Church having a conversation on what marriage is. She said she thought it would be to everyone’s advantage to learn more about what the Bible, the Canons and the Prayer Book say about marriage, both individually and in the community.

Kay Laughton, Trinity Parish, Newport and Hughesville, said she thought it important to debate the question of marriage now, because it was being debated all up and down the governmental system. The issue of marriage in the Church and in society, regardless of the issue of homosexuality, was a continuing one.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 205 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

A great deal was being heard about the Defense of Marriage Act and a Constitutional amendment. The Resolution would help us to engage ourselves as a Church and as a society in a very important and key question.

There being no further debate, the President called for a vote, and the Resolution was approved as amended.

Dr.Wade introduced Resolution #4 for consideration by the Convention.

Resolution #4 — Recommending Careful Reading of the Windsor Report (adopted)

Submitted by Richard A. Best, Jr., Lay Delegate from St. Paul’s, K Street.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington acknowledges with gratitude the conscientious efforts of the Lambeth Commission on Communion, reflected in The Windsor Report 2004, especially the contributions of the Most Rev. Robin Eames, Chairman of the Commission, and the Rt. Rev.Mark Dyer,the Commission’s American member; and be it further

RESOLVED, that this Convention urge all members of the Diocese to read the Windsor Report with care and reflect on its discussion of approaches to the future life of the Anglican Communion.

Explanation: The widespread publicity given to the publication of the Windsor Report in October 2004 suggests that Convention should acknowledge the Report’s importance and encourage careful reading by all members of the Diocese. This resolution does not attempt to evaluate the Report’s conclusions, but reflects a determination to find common ground among members of the Diocese regarding the need for careful study of the Report in the hope that it may inform future discussions.This resolution should require no additional funding.

Budget Impact:There is no budget impact for this resolution.

Recommendation:The Resolutions Committee recommends this resolution for consideration.

Mr. Richard A. Best, Jr., St. Paul’s, K Street, the submitter of the Resolution, said he suspected that there were as many views on the various provisions of the Windsor Report as there were members of the Convention, but he thought it appropriate that appreciation be expressed for the Commissioners’ efforts on behalf of all Anglicans.The Windsor Report is, as the Presiding Bishop has noted, a highly nuanced work. It is nuanced precisely because it is a serious effort to deal with difficult and consequential actions, issues on which strong views are held on all sides. Its recommendations may not ultimately meet with approval, but he thought that all of us should recognize that the Commission worked long 206 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS and hard, with patience and humility, to seek to discern the will of God for the Anglican Communion.The Commission is entitled to our respect, and this Resolution is a formal acknowledgement of our appreciation for its efforts.

The Rev. Dr. J. Carleton Hayden, St. George’s Parish, offered an amendment asking that the Windsor Report be read in the light of foundational documents of the Protestant Episcopal Church. In Isaiah, Chapter 51, there is a wonderful text that goes,“Look to the rock from which you were hewn and to the pit from which you were digged.” The Windsor Report deals particularly with the identity of the Anglican Communion, and with the bonds between the various Provinces in the Communion, and with and particularly with the healing of the divisions at present amongst us. I think in reading that report carefully, it would be helped by reading documents which were foundational in the formation of this Church in the Eighteenth Century.

My amendment is that members also be invited to read foundational documents of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in particular the Preface to the Book of Common Prayer 1789, adopted by the first General Convention and still in the Book of Common Prayer; the Preamble to the Constitution of the Protestant Episcopal Church; the Articles of Religion which were adopted by General Convention in 1801, and the Outline of the Faith, which is a catechism still contained in the Book of Common Prayer. I think if we were to read that Report, but also documents that were foundational and seminal in the beginning of this Church, it would be helpful.Therefore, I move this amendment.

There was no discussion. The amendment was not approved, and the Resolution was approved in its original form.

Dr. Wade then offered a resolution that the Committee had not considered. It was introduced in an earlier session of the Convention by the Rev.Canon John R. Frizzell and approved for consideration at that time by a floor vote.

Resolution on War Prisoners’ Rights (adopted as amended)

Submitted by the Rev. Canon John R. Frizzell.

RESOLVED, that the One Hundred Tenth Convention of the Diocese of Washington ask, mindful that our Lord instructs us to “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you,” and that in our Baptismal Covenant we promise to “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being,” calls on the President and Congress of the United States to act immediately to affirm the rights of all prisoners taken in the war on terror in accordance with the nation’s international obligations under the Geneva Conventions and other treaties; and be it further

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 207 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

RESOLVED, that this convention calls for use of only those methods of interrogation that are permitted under the strictest interpretation of the Geneva Conventions and other applicable treaties; and be it further

RESOLVED, that this convention calls on the President to halt, by Executive Order, the practice of “rendition,”that is, of sending prisoners taken in the war on terror to other countries where “torture” is more loosely defined and practiced; and be it further

RESOLVED, that this convention calls on the President and the Congress of the United States immediately to repudiate and prohibit practices of holding of prisoners taken in the war on terror incommunicado or of holding them for indefinite periods without recourse to due process of international law; and be it further

RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States and to members of the Congressional delegation from the District of Columbia and Maryland.

Explanation: The United States cannot demonstrate its commitment to demo-cracy and the individual rights of persons without guaranteeing those rights even in times of national stress and even to those foreign nationals taken in the war on terror. Further, the United States must not abdicate its responsibilities to abide by our own Constitution and to adhere to international humanitarian law by sending prisoners to other countries for illegal and unacceptable interrogation.

Canon Frizzell said he had made two changes in the resolution before it was considered. He inserted the word “war” in the title, making it read Resolution on War Prisoners’ Rights, so as not to confuse it with civil prisoners in the United States. In the fourth Resolved clause, he inserted the word “international,” making it read “…without recourse to due process of international law.”

He said that in 52 B.C., before he was born, the philosopher Cicero said.“The law is silent when weapons speak.”Anyone who has been in the military, especially in a war situation, knows how true that is. Someone has also said that war is a technological hothouse and a moral refrigerator, and this is the reason why I think this resolution needs to be supported.

The United States Senate recently unanimously adopted an amendment to an intel- ligence reform bill, specifying that “no prisoner shall be subject to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment that is prohibited by the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States.’That amendment was later stripped from the legislation at the requestof the White House.Mr.Alberto Gonzales, counsel to the President, affirmed in writing that the proposed amendment would have “provided legal protection to foreign prisoners to which they are not entitled.”

208 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS

A recent news article disclosed that in 2003 twenty-three terrorism suspects detained at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo, Cuba, twice tried to hang or strangle themselves in a mass protest after General Geoffrey Miller took command of the prison with a mandate to get more information from prisoners accused of links with Al Qaeda or the Afghan Taliban that sheltered it.

This resolution has been put forward because it is my hope that the Diocese of Washington, and indeed the Christian Church in general, has a responsibility to speak about the Biblical statements,“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” and “all persons are made in the image of God.”

Mr. James Mills, St. Luke’s, Bethesda, said the resolution redressed a serious gap in the proceedings of the Convention, which was to look at the Bush administration’s actions in the war on terrorism. The Bishop’s address did not mention that we are engaged in a war that has been declared illegal by the United Nations, and that the treatment of prisoners in the war on terrorism has been declared unconstitutional by our own courts. I also noticed that when a prayer was offered today, it was for U.S. troops and not for the thousands of Iraqis who have been victims of this war, which I hope we will correct in our prayers later this afternoon. I am speaking as a conscientious objector in the Vietnam war. I call upon the Convention today to send a message on some real Christian values to this administration, notably “love your neighbor as yourself,” and I urge you to support this Resolution as a way of moving the U.S. government to recognize its moral responsibility for this war and its repercussions.

Mr. Richard G.Turner, St.Alban’s, offered an amendment that would strike the word “ask” in the first Resolved clause and insert a comma, followed by “mindful that our Lord instructs us to “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you,” and that in our Baptismal Covenant we promise to “strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being, calls on,” continuing with the wording of the clause beginning with “the President and Congress…”

There being no discussion offered, the President called for a vote.The amendment was approved.

Mr. Sam Lewis, St. Alban’s, said he was very much in favor of the amendment, but not in favor of two words inserted by the original sponsor.The war on terror has not been recognized as a war in any legal sense, and the original title was correct.Also, in the fourth Resolved clause, inserting the word “international” before the word “law” is a terrible idea.There is no way of enforcing due process under international law, because there is nobody to enforce international law. However, due process by the American government can be enforced in our courts. He moved that the words be struck.

The amendment was approved.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 209 CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS The question was called.A two-thirds majority approved the termination of debate and voting on the Resolution. It was approved.

REPORT OF THE TELLERS ON THE FOURTH BALLOT

Mr. Stephen Dean reported that on the fourth ballot, neither of two remaining candidates for Lay member of the Standing Committee, Dr. Nancy Cummings and Mr. Curtis Reiber had received a total vote in both orders sufficient to elect, and a fifth ballot would be required.

The Rev.Dr.David S.Pollock moved that the combined clergy and lay votes be taken into account in order to effect and election.The President ruled that was in order. The Chancellor explained that under Canon 3 of the Diocese, the rules could be suspended and a candidate elected on the basis of the combined totals. More than three-quarters of the members voted for the rules suspension, and Dr. Nancy Cummings was declared elected.

A complete tabulation of the votes cast for diocesan offices will be found in the section of this Journal titled Reports of the Tellers.

CLOSING REMARKS

The balloting having been canceled, the President asked the St. Andrew’s School jazz band to play for the Convention. The band played again after adjournment, as the members of the Convention were leaving the Cathedral.

The President thanked the Secretary and Treasurer of the Convention, the Chancellor, the staff of the Diocese, the volunteers, the tellers, floor tellers and marshals, the members of the staff and the staff of the Cathedral, and all the others who enabled the Convention to gather and take action together.

He remarked that the resolutions which had been approved were only pieces of paper and meant absolutely nothing each member of the Convention takes a resolution, lives with it, and begins to take action on it. Otherwise, it will remain somewhere in space. And there was very important work that the Diocese was about to do, so be very, very conscientious about moving forward and making those resolutions a reality.

The President presented the Right Rev. Lloyd Allen, Bishop of Honduras, with a replica of the stained glass Space Window of the Cathedral, on behalf of the Diocese, in recognition of the companion relationship of the two dioceses, and of his courageous leadership in a diocese that was growing by leaps and bounds, and brings life to the Anglican Communion, your Province and the Episcopal Church.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 233 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 2004 — JANUARY 2005

Diocesan Council met once per month during the year,except in August when there was no meeting.The February meeting was a day-long retreat.

COUNCIL ORGANIZATION, FUNCTION, AND MEMBERSHIP Meeting Process March: Council agreed to a new process in which the Moderator, the Governance Officer and the Canon to the Ordinary would plan the Council meetings and circulate a draft agenda. Consent to Appointments March: Council approved various appointments. Council Oversight Role October:Council discussed its oversight role with respect to diocesan program, staffing, and finance. Position descriptions for Church House staff have been developed to serve as a focus for annual performance evaluations.The Bishop affirmed the importance of a strong role for Council in setting diocesan policy and evaluating the effectiveness of diocesan programs. December: Council began discussion of a committee that would work with the Bishop’s senior staff to evaluate the structure of diocesan offices with the best division of authorities and develop a plan to confidentially evaluate senior staff on a regular basis.

COUNCIL COMMITTEES Committee Governance April: Council discussed a draft Committee Governance Policy, whose purpose is to help assure consistent practice, equity, rotation of membership, and accountability among the committees and task forces that help carry out diocesan governance and program. Council discussion suggested the need for flexibility regarding the most effective manner for each committee or task force to relate to Council. Council also approved the membership of various committees. May: Council adopted the Committee Governance Policy. June: Council approved more committee appointments and discussed the importance of having committees with members from all regions of the diocese. Diocesan Retreat Committee July: Council approved the reconstitution of the Diocesan Retreat Association as a special committee with an initial term of two years and a charter. The committee would be funded by user fees and special donations.

234 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

Finance Committee March: The Finance Chair noted that the projected operating deficit of the diocese will increase since actual pledges from congregations increased by less than the amount initially projected, although overall giving from congregations increased. April: Expenses were very slightly under the budgeted amounts for the first quarter. June: It was noted that in order for congregations to increase their giving to the diocese by significant levels our congregations need to experience significant growth of membership and financial resources. Achieving growth in congregational support of the diocese is further complicated by the impaired financial health of many of our congregations. The Finance Chair announced his intention to develop a corps of individuals with experience in financial matters to be available to work directly with congregations in need of financial and accounting assistance. July: It was noted that the aggregate amount pledged in support of the annual operating budget of the diocese was less than the amount budgeted for congregational giving. Discussions with the Cathedral Foundation had produced an agreement that would result in an additional $35,000 of revenue to the diocese during 2004. There was discussion of the broad elements of a strategy to bring stability to the annual operating budget of the diocese. September: It was noted that congregational giving would need to increase to enable the diocese to balance the budget, even if the annual Soper distributions are used to offset operating expenses. October: A draft proposed budget was presented, which is balanced through use of available Soper funds to support operations and in which, and consideration was given to reducing the giving to the National Church. November: Expenses were within budgeted limits and the major challenge before the diocese is to increase congregational giving. Council discussed the possibility of reconsidering the level of financial support provided in support of the National Church. December: Council reviewed the 2004 budget performance, noting that expenses were well under control but that final year end results would be dependent upon the extent to which congregations catch up on arrears in pledges to the diocese. Soper funds would be applied to balance revenues and expenditures for 2004. Council approved the year-end report concerning the 2004 budget and approved the revised draft 2005 budget for submission to the Convention of the Diocese. January: Priorities for the Finance Committee for 2005 would include the development of a clearer format for diocesan financial statements and the scheduling of a spring workshop to furnish training and support to parish treasurers. There was progress in the development of the diocesan financial ministry group.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 235 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

Financial Oversight Committee March: This is a temporary committee that created to assure that there is adequate coordination of efforts to generate additional revenues and, possibly, reduce expenditures. April: Council approved a charter for the Financial Oversight Committee. The Committee will devote an increasing degree of attention to the expense side of the budget while overseeing the development and implementation of strategies to generate additional revenue. Insurance Committee March: Health insurance premium revenues for the first two months of 2004 were sufficient to fund claims expenses, which was a positive development. September: Council heard an update regarding the economic performance of the self-insured health plan operated by the diocese. In order to limit the premium increase for 2004, Council had built in an assumed subsidy of approximately $125,000 to be funded from existing health insurance reserves. Preliminary data showed an increase of between 11 and 17 percent would be required to fund anticipated claims and administrative costs in 2005, and that the principal issue for Council’s consideration would be the extent to which Council desired to build an assumed subsidy into the premium levels. October: Negotiations were continuing with CareFirst concerning premium levels for 2005. Council would likely need to select from several alternatives, ranging from a minimum increase of approximately 10%, which would imply a decision to subsidize claims and administrative expenses from reserves in the health insurance fund, to an increase of approximately 17%, which likely would be sufficient to generate premium levels sufficient to meet claims and administrative expenses without subsidy from the health insurance reserve funds. November: Council discussed healthcare comparative information, and addressed that the overall percentage insurance premiums should be increased for 2005. Council approved a rate increase of 14.9% in order for premiums paid during 2005 to be adequate to pay the costs of anticipated claims and administrative expenses for this period, which would avoid depleting the health insurance reserve. Investment Committee, Soper Memorial, Seton Belt Trust June: Council received an update on the Diocesan Investment Committee. The Investment Committee had met with representatives of Loomis Sayles and had voted to adopt its approach to asset management. The entire assets of the fund have been reallocated to Loomis Sayles to implement the proposed strategy. The Investment Committee oversees the three trust funds, each maintained by a third party trustee, for which the diocese is a beneficiary. These are the Ruth Gregory Soper Memorial,the Seton Belt Trust,and the Victor Clay Barringer Memorial Fund.

236 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

Soper: Members of the Investment Committee are concerned with the performance of the sole trustee, and may recommend that Riggs be asked to resign its role as trustee.The Committee will coordinate any proposed action. Seton Belt:The Investment Committee reported some developments regarding the potential disposition of certain real estate owned by the Trust. The Committee has worked closely with representatives of Queen Anne Parish, the co-beneficiary under this trust, on issues surrounding a “buffer zone.” Latino Ministry Committee (formerly Hispanic Ministry Committee) March: Council received the committee’s interim report, to be discussed at its April meeting. April: Council approved the committee’s request to change its name to the Latino Ministry Committee. Council also approved a request to fund a Latino missioner to be based at the Church of the Ascension, Gaithersburg, with funding coming from various sources. Council also approved a grant from the Hispanic Ministry Fund. May: Council received a brief update regarding Latino Ministry in the diocese, including information concerning the Latino Missioner as well as a $25,000 grant obtained on the initiative of a member of Council to help fund this. December: Council received an update on Latino ministries in the diocese. The Committee wants to get out of the small grant business and invest available funds in more significant amounts to support the growth and development of Latino ministries in the diocese. There currently are Spanish-speaking congregations nested within six congregations in the diocese, and hopefully three additional Spanish-speaking congregations could be established within the next year. Council approved the grant recommendations. Personnel Committee June: The Personnel Committee had tentatively determined to recommend a 2% cost of living increase in clergy compensation levels for the year, but was concerned that increasing inflation might make an upward adjustment of this level appropriate. The committee would therefore meet in August to consider whether its tentative recommendation should be revised. September: The committee recommended a cost of living increase of 3% for 2005. There was discussion of the concept of across-the-board cost of living increases being appropriate in the current economic environment. Council approved the recommended cost of living increase, and referred to the Personnel Committee for further discussion the policy issues associated with cost of living raises and merit compensation increases.

COUNCIL TASK FORCES Christian Formation May: It was reported that an exploratory meeting for Christian formation in the diocese had been scheduled. Hopefully a Task Force on Christian

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 237 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

Formation would be created and this task force would provide leadership in this vital area. July: Council approved recommendations creating the Task Force on Christian Formation and confirming the appointment of members to this task force. At the exploratory meeting, considerable energy was expressed toward developing a comprehensive “cradle to grave”approach to Christian formation. January: Council accepted the report of the Task Force on Christian Formation, which made three principal recommendations: to establish a Christian Formation Committee; to establish a resource center; and to create a diocesan staff position for Christian formation. Council noted that the work of the task force was concluded and that it would be formally discharged, and requested that the governance officer work on an enabling resolution to create a committee on Christian formation, to come back to Council in the spring. Congregational Development (formerly Working Group on Congregational Growth) March: It was confirmed that the responsibilities of this working group would include needs and program support for congregational growth efforts of existing congregations as well as new congregations that may be established following approval of Council after consultation with neighboring congrega- tions. April: Council agreed that it would not be able to fund two ministry proposals, one for an urban missioner and the other for an assistant priest to help with congregational growth. Council expressed concern that a consistent process be established so that proposals of this kind could be reviewed fairly and appropriately and directed the Canon for Congregational Development to establish a liaison group including members of Council to support work in this area and return to Council as soon as possible with a job description for this group. May: A proposal was distributed for the creation of a Task Force on Congregational Development. The Task Force would have three principal responsibilities: to develop a proposal for Council for the establishment of new start standards; to develop a process to enable Council to respond to mission and church development proposals; and to develop an overarching vision for the office of congregational development.The major emphasis of the work of the task force would be issues of growth for existing congregations in the diocese. November: Council heard an update, noting that much of the task force’s atten- tion had been devoted to evaluating proposed standards that would apply to newly established congregations. Parish Bounds March: Council consented to the appointment of the members of the Parish Bounds Task Force.

238 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

May: It was noted that the task force had adopted a work plan pursuant to which the it would focus on issues of history of parish bounds in the diocese, issues of whether parish bounds impair congregational growth, issues of embedded racism in the diocese’s approach to parish bounds, canonical implications of changing policies regarding parish bounds, and other matters. The task force would be conducting a survey concerning what outreach activities parishes are doing within their bounds. September: It was noted that the task force had developed a theological statement to help frame its study. The theological statement suggests that the primary ministry of any parish church is to minister within its bounds. The task force has thoroughly researched the history of parish bounds and separate congregations within the diocese and has found that some of the separate congregations were established as such on the grounds of racism. Among other things, the task force will recommend that existing separate congregations be given parish bounds. November: Council voted to receive the report of the task force and to adopt the resolutions on the subject of parish bounds. It was noted that with the acceptance of this report the task force had completed its assigned work and would be dismissed. Pastoral Outreach March: It was reported that the task force working on issues in the Resolution on Conscience adopted at the recent annual meeting of the Convention of the Diocese wishes to be known as the “Convention Task Force on Pastoral Outreach.” Council referred to the task force two resolutions on the agenda at the annual meeting of the Convention that were not acted upon prior to adjournment. Racial Reconciliation March: The task force provided an update regarding its continuing work. In November, 2003 the task force pilot-tested a workshop on racial reconciliation and believes that the model is ready for broader use in the diocese.The Bishop invited members of Council to participate in a one-day workshop in May. September: The Bishop noted that the task force would make available a one day workshop for members of Council, Standing Committee, Bishop’s staff and the Commission on Ministry who had not been able to attend the workshop in May. Urban Ministry May:The task force held a dinner meeting for persons interested in developing urban ministry in the diocese. Bishop Harris will serve as Bishop Chane’s liaison with this task force. Eight persons who attended the March 30 meeting have been invited to serve on the task force.The task force is a small,temporary body that has been asked to develop a charge and proposed priorities for a larger Committee on Urban Ministry.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 239 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

November: Council accepted the report of the task force that outlined the task force’s conviction that urban ministry includes promotion of congregational health, reaching out to the surrounding community, and responding to community needs by serving people and advocating for social justice and that urban settings are areas with high density living, multi-cultural populations, transitional neighborhoods and significant degrees of societal pain resulting from homelessness, prostitution, drug abuse, and poverty. Many congregations in the diocese are doing the work of urban ministry and that the key question was how the diocese could support and promote this important work. With the submission of its report to Council, the work of the task force would be concluded.

COUNCIL WORKING GROUPS Formation March:. Council agreed that working groups could offer a useful mechanism that would assist Council in discharging its work effectively manner. It is important to have clear job descriptions for working groups.

DIOCESAN MINISTRIES Ministry and Resource Development Bishop’s Appeal March: Council discussed a proposal that they approve a direct-mail fundraising initiative seeking donations of unrestricted funds by members of the diocese. The proposed Bishop’s Appeal was approved. April: The Annual Appeal materials had been mailed on schedule to persons on the Washington Window mailing list. May: The results of the Bishop’s Appeal were highly encouraging to date, with the level of average giving considerably higher than anticipated. Stewardship Commission April: Council considered a recommendation to gratefully conclude the life of the Stewardship Commission as an ongoing committee of the diocese, with the understanding that ongoing needs in this essential program area would be supervised by the Canon for Ministry and Resource Development and special purpose task forces to be established from time to time. Legacy Society/Second Century Fund April: Council discussed the name of a legacy society, in which individuals who have named the diocese or a parish or institution of the diocese as a beneficiary in their wills or other planned gifts automatically would become members. June: Council approved that the legacy society be called the Second Century Fund. October: The Second Century Fund is to be the focus of planned giving activities for the diocese. It will be launched formally at the Convention in January, 2005. 240 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

Gift Acceptance Policy July:A draft Gift Acceptance Policy was discussed.A clear policy regarding the administration, use, and investment of financial assets received by the diocese is important not only as a matter of good financial practice but also as an encouragement to potential donors. A revised version of the policy will be brought to Council in the near future. Youth Ministries May: Council reviewed and approved the proposed appointments to the Committee on Youth. Academic Ministries September: The Canon for Academic Ministries provided Council with an update regarding academic ministries in the diocese. He reported on preschool, primary, and secondary schools that are associated with the Episcopal Church. Also, in addition to the longstanding ministries of the diocese at the University of Maryland, College Park and Howard University, other campus ministries that are conducted by parishes, including ministries at American University, Gallaudet University, Georgetown University, The George Washington University and St. Mary’s College. A grant application is pending for a $90,000 grant over the next three years to support the establishment of a campus ministry at Bowie State University.Also under development is a possible agreement with the Metropolitan Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, under which the ELCA may contribute significant funds to expand the ministry at Howard University so that it would be a joint Lutheran-Episcopal campus ministry. Deployment and Ordination May: The Canon for Deployment and Ordination provided Council with a general update regarding deployment and ordination matters including congregations currently engaged in a search for a rector and congregations that had called a new rector over the past year. Five seminarians sponsored by the Diocese of Washington would graduate in the spring and be ordained as deacons. Eight persons had been selected to be postulants after the 2004 discernment cycle. The discernment process for 2005 is being modified to reflect experience from the 2004 cycle.The Bishop noted that he has asked that a body of examining chaplains be assembled.They would assist the Bishop with respect to canonically required examination of individuals ordained elsewhere in the Anglican Communion and in certain other churches who seek to exercise ordained ministry within the diocese.

COMPANION RELATIONSHIPS Diocese of Honduras April: Council approved a request for a grant of $36,104 to fund the remainder of the construction costs required for the completion of Colonia Episcopal in the Diocese of the Honduras, to be funded by unspent Soper Memorial

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 241 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

disbursements for 1995-96. Council agreed that completion of this project is a moral commitment of the diocese.

INDIVIDUAL CONGREGATIONS Epiphany, Forestville January: Council adopted a resolution regarding an extension of time for funds previously belonging to or set aside for Holy Redeemer to be available to the parish. Holy Communion November: Following the recommendation of the Finance Committee, Council approved forgiveness and discharge of the outstanding balance of a loan to Holy Communion from the Wilmer Fund. Holy Spirit July: Council adopted resolutions pertaining to the official conclusion of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, Germantown, as an organized mission of the diocese.

St. George’s, DC September: Council approved the guarantee of a construction loan from Chevy Chase Bank to St. George’s. St. Nicholas’ June: Council heard a report on issues relating to St. Nicholas’, which does not have its own permanent building. Council was concerned that the size of St. Nicholas’ congregation and budget were insufficient to fund a construction project, but expressed interest in supporting the growth of the congregation. Council approved three recommendations: (1) That St.Nicholas’ be treated as a special case so that the bishop, Diocesan Council, and staff can do what is nec- essary to support its growth and development where possible;(2) That the mat- ter of loan guarantees be referred to the Finance Committee; and (3) That the matter of the conveyance of land be referred to the Task Force on Congregational Development July: Proposals for trailers to be used for temporary worship space and the con- veyance of the land to the parish were forwarded to the Finance Committee and to the Congregational Growth Liaison Group. October: Finance Committee had met with St. Nicholas’ leadership. One possi- bility would be to construct the parish hall segment of the existing plans and use this facility as worship space and a base from which to grow.This would require a grant from the Phillips Fund. Council deferred action in the absence of sufficient information. November: Council clarified that it had previously determined that the parish would not be required to satisfy the forthcoming “new start” standards and instead would be treated as a special case. Council voted to discharge the Task Force on Congregational Development from further work concerning St. Nicholas’ Parish.

[242] EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN COUNCIL

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Convention Site Planning July: Council discussed the advantages and disadvantages of holding the Convention at a location other than the Cathedral as well as pros and cons to having a Convention in a residential, rather than commuting, format. September:It was noted that there would be a substantial cost differential if the Convention were to meet at a location other than the Cathedral in January 2006. Council determined that the annual meeting of the Convention in January, 2006 would be held at the Cathedral. Funds Transfer Authorization April: Council approved banking resolutions related to routine authorization in conjunction with new wire transfer procedures that Riggs Bank has implement- ed. Special Resolutions April:The Bishop asked members of Council to approve a resolution submitted by Canon John Frizzell in support of the upcoming Million Mom March. Concern was expressed that it was at least highly unusual for Council to enter- tain consideration of such measures. After discussion, the resolution was approved as presented. December: Council passed a resolution honoring Flossie Alers and her husband Perry, who have for many years catered meals for Diocesan Council and other diocesan bodies, both as a ministry to the diocese and to support the work of their parish church, Holy Communion. Episcopal Senior Ministries January: Episcopal Senior Ministries (ESM) presented an update regarding their work,and presented a proposed covenant between ESM and the diocese,which was approved. Housing Allowances December: Council approved the housing allowances for 2005 for clergy employed by the diocese. Washington Interfaith Network Housing Project September: Council heard a brief update concerning the status of the housing project being managed by Washington Interfaith Network (WIN), which has been funded in part through an interest-free $1 million loan from the diocese. Construction is underway, although subject to delays and cost overruns. WIN anticipates that the loan will be repaid within six to twelve months.WIN is plan- ning additional projects and will probably invite the diocese to participate.

244 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON ACCESSIBILITY AND SPECIAL NEEDS

The Diocesan Task Force on Accessibility and Special Needs has been holding regular meetings throughout 2004. Members of the Task Force have continued with their initial premise that work on accessibility will not be limited to removing barriers solely in architecture but also deal with barriers of attitudes and communi- cations.The Task Force name “The Task Force on Accessibility and Special Needs” is meant to emphasize this fact.

The Task Force’s goal is to submit a charter to the Diocesan Council for the establishment of a permanent committee in the Diocese of Washington. To that end, the Task Force has been busy compiling information on all aspects of accessibility.The charter is currently a “work in progress” and is being drafted with the assistance of the Diocesan Governance Officer, Ann Talty. Robert Tomlinson, Property Manager for the Diocese has been the group’s liaison with Bishop Chane’s office.

In early November, the Task Force mailed a survey to all parishes and missions to determine progress in the area of accessibility,and to give them a list of resources and suggestions.There was nearly a 50% return rate for this survey,which indicates a very strong level of concern and interest in fully welcoming the disabled in the Diocese of Washington. The Task Force has begun to assess the responses and plans to incorporate the information gathered in its charter resolution.The Task Force has also made contact with other Dioceses that are active in this area, as well as the National Church, which has held two large meetings regarding inclusion of the disabled.There are plans to build awareness through information in the Washington Window, expansion of the link on the EDOW website, and open meetings throughout the Diocese.A list-serve and/or mailing list will be established.

The chair of the Task Force would like to thank the members of the Task Force for their efforts over the last year. The members are Joy Belew, Duane Bonds, Iris Harris, Rudy Hines, Chris Llewellyn and Barbara Zangler.

Mr. John Miers, Convenor

REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE FOR CHRISTIAN FORMATION

“Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?” Several times a year, most people answer this question with a resounding,“yes!” but what does it really mean to fulfill the baptismal covenant and keep the promise we make to each new member of Christ’s flock? The Christian Formation Task Force (CFTF) has spent the last months considering this question by delving into what formation is, how it is done, and what can be done better to form, nourish and support strong, faithful Christians.

Survey The work focused first on designing and conducting a survey of the Diocese’s parishes to learn what churches are doing, where they are strong, and where they need extra help.There are many volunteers and lay and professional staff in place already who dedicate their energy toward designing and implementing meaningful Christian formation programs in individual parishes. Their commitment provides a strong base on which to build future efforts.

Thirty-two churches (out of a possible total of 94) completed surveys for the Task Force.Others were represented at an all-call meeting,which took place last summer. More detailed reports will be sent directly to the parishes, but some highlights follow:

• 45% of parishes that responded have a Christian Education/Formation commission • Efforts are directed by various people: • 39% report all volunteer leadership • 35% report volunteers and clergy share leadership • 23% report paid professional staff • Many parishes offer intergenerational formation programs or retreats: • Parish retreat 34% • Advent program 47% • Lenten program 47% • 75% offer at least one Sunday morning program for adults. • In the churches responding, more than 100 different adult groups convene each year, including Bible study, adult forum, prayer groups, book discussion, Education for Ministry and others.

246 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

While much already happens, many respondents asked for assistance in several areas:

• Diocesan Staff person 48% • Materials 52% • Internet assistance 52% • Retreats 35% • Teacher training 75% Clearly, much more can be done to deepen the Diocese’s formation programs and to better use the expertise that already exists among our parishes, but which cannot currently be accessed for the benefit of other churches.

Definition of Christian Formation The Task Force continued its work by discussing the definition of formation. The Task Force believes that Christian Formation is the ongoing step-by-step instruction and practice of life with Christ spanning the time from cradle to grave. It is living out Christ’s life everyday. This process changes constantly, seeks continually, and draws mainly from the three-legged stool: Scripture, tradition and reason. To maximize formation, efforts must be intentional, deliberate, measured,and personal.Overnight results cannot be expected and must have a long term view of success — measured in years, not weeks or months.

Based on the survey results, the Task Force believes that people hunger deeply for a strong connection to Christ. Christian formation’s purpose must be to invite people into God’s house,to provide programs founded in Biblical literacy and aimed at growing disciples who work not far away, but here at home in their own communities reflecting God’s power in their lives. In today’s fast paced world, it is too easy for the church to become irrelevant, out-dated, and hopelessly out of touch. The future of the church, depends upon reaching out to those hungering for a spiritual base who have no idea where to find it. Support must be provided for the values development that no longer seems to happen in schools and which many families struggle with knowing how to provide. Support must be provided for everyone — parents, singles and married couples, families in transition, questing teens, doubting believers and everyone in between — no matter whether they are just beginning their spiritual journey or have been walking Christ’s way for many years. There must be reaching out to local communities to provide a means for each person to find his own unique way to Christ, to own that faith, and in turn to make Christ known to others.

While these ideas may seem like a big charge, it must be remembered that through Christ one can do all things.The first step must simply be to become more aware of formation in people’s lives and parishes. What is it? How is it being done? In the Task Force, many found that simply thinking deeply about these issues and debating how to help others with such a goal, changed the way the members thought and what they focused on at their local churches.As the Task Force works

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 247 COMMITTEE REPORTS to raise awareness about Christian formation, it can also take several concrete steps to help facilitate the strengthening of the Diocese’s efforts in this area.

Recommendations The Task Force made the following recommendations to the Diocesan Council:

Convene a Christian Formation Committee to start laying the groundwork for better communication regarding Christian formation. This would include compiling and maintaining an accurate list of Christian formation contacts for each parish; facilitating communications among these Christian formation leaders regarding training opportunities, retreats, and available resources; and writing or soliciting monthly articles for the Washington Window to raise awareness about formation and focus attention on deliberate work to strengthen our offerings in this area. The committee should also work closely with the Bishop to identify and hire a dedicated Missioner for Christian Formation to assist in this work as a staff person at Church House (see below). Establish a Resource Center initially to provide lists of resources for speakers, curricula, intergenerational programs, training events, etc; later to provide more substantive assistance for those seeking help in specific areas of Christian formation. Hire a Missioner for Christian Formation in the next 12-18 months to help build a strong formation network in the Diocese and facilitate communications between parishes so that they may draw upon one another’s strengths. Conclusion The Task Force feels strongly that Christian Formation must be at the center of everyone’s personal,parish and diocesan lives.There needs to be a dialogue about what formation is, start a communication system that allows discussion on how to achieve formation beyond one’s immediate parishes, and prayer about finding the right person to lead an intentional effort in Christian formation.The Task Force has been energized by its discussion on study of Christian formation, and hopes most of all for this work to have begun a process whereby fellow believers may find the same energizing spirit, and use it to create a community that sustains and nurtures that spirit. In short, all must constantly work to uphold the vows made in the baptismal covenant.To do less would be to leave the path Christ has marked for all to follow.

Mr. Paul Canady, Deputy for Youth Ministry

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHURCH ARCHITECTURE

The Committee on Church Architecture provides an invaluable source of knowledge and is available to assist congregations seeking advice on maintenance, restoration, or construction projects. Furthermore, the Committee may also provide advice on zoning, site issues, ADA compliance, building code requirements and other building related issues.

248 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

During the year of 2004, Mr.Victor Wilburn,AIA, a valued member of many years, resigned from the Committee. Mr. Wilburn brought much wisdom and expertise to this group and he will be sorely missed, we thank him for his many years of service to this group and its ministry.

The Committee discussed and reviewed the following projects in 2004:

• St. Paul’s, K Street - Preliminary drawings and budget for a planned renovation of this church were submitted for review. The drawings showed interior renovation to two existing row buildings, site work in the existing parking area and the infill of a small open space facing the street for a new narthex. Plans are at a preliminary stage but show the scope of the work.The new narthex elevation has been designed to be compatible with the existing church structure.The two phases will be designed as “stand alone”projects.As funding expectations change, the two phases may, or may not, be sequential. The Committee will follow the progress of this project and would like to receive future drawings for review as the project progresses to the permitting and bidding stage.The Committee on Church Architecture approved these preliminary plans. • St. Nicholas’ - Preliminary designs for the first phase of the new St. Nicholas’ Church on Route 28 in upper Montgomery County, Maryland were presented by the Rev. Ken Howard, Rector; Terry Deibel, Building Committee Chair; and Chris Graae,Architect with Cox Graae & Spack Architects,Washington, DC. It was explained that the architects had developed initial ideas and costs for the Parish last year and the project was then placed on hold while the Parish explored a number of issues including building size and funding sources. The Parish has only recently requested further development of the design by their architects. The construction project is envisioned as three buildings with the first phase being the center building, housing a fellowship hall, which will initially serve as a worship space.This center building would also house a warming kitchen, sacristy,storage, offices, toilets, and flexible meeting spaces as well as a useable basement. This phase would also include a tower outlining the complex’s narthex and symbolically defining the facility. To the right of the first phase would be the future church and to the left of the initial construction would be a future educational wing. All felt that the building functions chosen as part of this initial project, overall layout,and preliminary architectural elevations were commendable and worthy of further development. Further, the tower was an essential iconic element of the design and should be built as part of the initial project.The Committee approved the submission, recommended the design for further development. • The Committee also provided advice on many smaller issues and projects in 2004. The Committee is made up of architects, engineers, contractors and a zoning attorney.

REPORT OF THE COMPANION DIOCESE COMMITTEE

“For Christ is like a single body with its many limbs and organs, which, many as they are, together make up one body.”

In their conventions during the first months of 2004, the Dioceses of Washington and Honduras established a three year companion relationship. It invites people from each diocese to a greater understanding of the whole body of Christ and to service to each other.

Summary In the past twelve months this relationship has moved forward vigorously.

• In the Diocese of Washington nearly a dozen parishes and two Episcopal schools have started new or continued in their on-going work with our brothers and sisters in Honduras, some supporting projects going back for nearly a decade. • In Honduras the Anglican Global Relations Committee was established to help manage relations with all of the dioceses and parishes in the Anglican Communion which are working with the Diocese of Honduras. • Under the guidance of Bishop Lloyd Allen, the eight deaneries into which the Diocese of Honduras is divided have prepared five year strategic plans for growth, self-sufficiency, and development. • Parishioners and clergy from five parishes in the District of Columbia and Maryland traveled to Honduras in August 2004 to better understand the opportunities for mutual ministry. This past November, Bishop Allen and nine teachers from Honduran Anglican bilingual high schools visited Washington for a conference of Episcopal school teachers. • Plans are underway for a diocesan-wide mission trip in late July or early August 2005, as well as several individual parish and school trips. • Explorations are being made about how the clergy and laity of Honduras can assist this diocese to reach out more effectively to the Latino community of the Washington area. The Challenge The need is great in Honduras. It is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, experiencing chronic unemployment and underemployment, one of the highest HIV-AIDS infection rates of any country in Latin America, and a stagnating economy. 250 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

The Diocese of Honduras seeks to partner with public and private, local and international agencies to address these problems.The populations served by their churches are some of the poorest in the country. One of the missions of the Honduras Committee of the Diocese of Washington is be an intermediary between the Diocese of Honduras and agencies and organizations as well as parishes and schools in the Washington area.

The Diocese of Honduras is growing rapidly. In the past three years the number of congregants has grown from 32,000 to over 65,000. With ordinations in early 2005, the number of trained priests and deacons will more than double to 60. Each serves one to four congregations from larger urban churches to fledgling rural communities.

Through the strategic planning process, the Diocese of Honduras has identified three priorities for the next five years: economic development of church communities to increase household income and to help the churches move toward self-sufficiency; provision of health programs in communities not served by public agencies; and expanding and strengthening church-run bilingual K-12 schools. The Diocese of Washington is being asked by Bishop Allen to concentrate its efforts in two deaneries: Comayagua, which is a somewhat more urban area located close to the highway between San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa; and Santa Barbara, a more rural, higher elevation coffee growing, cloud forest region.

During 2004, eleven parishes and schools of this diocese contributed nearly $50,000 to projects ranging from support for maintaining a prison kitchen, to scholarships for bilingual education, to support for a doctor to serve a rural community, to salary support for teachers at Colonial Episcopal. Many of these relationships pre-date the new formal companion relationship and others have started this year. There remain many opportunities for engaging parishes and schools in the Washington area.

In addition to this financial support, Colonial Episcopal was supported with a close-out contribution from the Hurricane Mitch Fund of about $27,000. The Soper Fund added $36,000 to this total. With these funds the physical construction of this community of 70 homes was completed and a social worker was hired to help the community and its families to become responsible members of the nearby city of Puerto Cortez.

Trip to Honduras: Summer 2005 From July 30 to August 6, there will be a diocesan organized trip to Honduras. This is open to adults and youth in the Diocese. Some of the participants may be part of teams going to already identified projects, while others will be looking for opportunities to make a new connection between their parishes and communities or projects in Honduras. The flexibility of this trip will make it attractive to those who will be traveling to Honduras for the first time.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 251 COMMITTEE REPORTS

Objectives for the Coming Year • The Companion Diocese Committee of Diocese of Washington will continue work to encourage and strengthen new and existing relationships between schools and parishes in the Washington area and those in Honduras. The Committee will focus on relationships with communities in the Deaneries of Comayagua and Santa Barbara. • Committee members will meet with schools and parishes — adult forums, mission committees, and vestries to describe opportunities for mutual ministries and the “how to” of moving forward with a commitment. • The Committee will help the Diocese of Honduras to connect with Washington- based development agencies and non-profits, and will help to bring technical and financial resources to bear on problems identified in the Diocese of Honduras five year strategic plans. • The Committee will focus on developing mutual ministries with the knowledge that each of us has much to give and to receive in this companion relationship.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON ECUMENICAL AND INTERRELIGIOUS MINISTRIES

Vision statement: to bear witness with our Christian brothers and sisters to express common concern for service, explore our differences, and seek “visible unity in one faith and one Eucharistic fellowship, in a communion of Communions, based on acknowledgment of catholicity and apostolicity; intensify the degree of visible unity among those whom God has already made one in Christ by baptism and faith; seek to extend our vision in humble dia- logue with other faith communities for the purpose of mutual understanding, com- mon support and promotion of justice.

Full Communion with the ELCA. The Commission continues to live into our full communion relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. “Called to Common Mission,” is the document which spells out our relationship of cooperation for mission and ministry. CCM officially began January 1, 2001. This full communion relationship with another U.S. Christian Church is a first for the Episcopal Church, and the whole ecumenical world rejoices with us as we work together to live into this relationship.

Helping to live into CCM, the Rev.Thomas Prinz, Chair of Metro DC Synod’s Office of Ecumenical Affairs (OEA) is a member of the Commission, and offers valuable insight into our ecumenical histories and possibilities. As liaison from our Commission and Diocese, the Rev.Thomas Andrews is a member of the Synod’s OEA.

252 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

For eight years now we have worked together through the (local) Lutheran Episcopal Coordinating Committee, which includes the Diocese of Washington, the Diocese of Virginia, and Metro DC Synod.We meet regularly with our Bishops to generate ideas for cooperation.A member of the local Coordinating Committee, the Rev. Dr. Alfred Moss, is a member of the national Lutheran Episcopal Coordinating Committee mandated by CCM.

For a copy of CCM or the booklet on how to implement and celebrate the relationship locally, see the Episcopal Church’s website: http://gc2003.episcopalchurch.org/eir.htm

Our Coordinating Committee is working with the Worship and Music staff of Washington National Cathedral planning the Fifth Anniversary Celebration of CCM, on Feb 5, 2006. Both Presiding Bishops, Bishop Griswold as Celebrant and Bishop Mark Hanson as Preacher, will be taking part.

The Coordinating Committee is also at work at the possibility of hosting the 2007 gathering of the National Workshop on Christian Unity,an annual gathering of those working for ecumenical cooperation around the country. Such a gathering would be the first time the Workshop has met in Washington in its 40 years.

Interim Eucharistic Sharing with the Moravian Church in America. In 1997 General Convention established an official Episcopal-Moravian dialogue with goals to reaffirm those things we hold in common, to explore the possibilities of full communion, mutual recognition of ministries, and shared mission and evangelism. The Provincial Synods of the Moravian Church in America approved this proposal in 2002 and the 2003 General Convention voted approval as well. The goal is full communion and recognition of ministries by 2006.

Anglican/Roman Catholic. The Commission keeps abreast of conversations with this dialogue.ARCUSA has issued its thirteenth joint statement,“An Agreed Report on the Local/Universal Church.” For a copy see the Episcopal Church’s Website.

Churches United in Christ. (formerly known as Consultation on Church Union or COCU) formally began a new relationship in January 2002. No longer seeking organic union or merger, CUIC envisions a “communion of communions,” where churches will retain their own identities and structures but recognize one another as authentic churches. The Commission’s two immediate goals are to undertake a mission to combat racism together, and to engage in a ministry dialogue with the goal of reconciling ordained ministries by 2007. The members of the Churches Uniting in Christ are: The Episcopal Church; African Methodist Episcopal Church; African Methodist Episcopal, Zion; Christian Church (Disciples of Christ); Christian Methodist Episcopal Church; International Council of Community Churches;Presbyterian Church,USA;United Church of Christ;and United Methodist Church. In addition, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America participates as an observer.

REPORT OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN

God has strengthened women throughout the Bible and continues to call and guide women to the many facets of the church and to the community at large.The Board of Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Washington is an elected body representing all the women in the Diocese.The Board members affirm and uphold the diversity of roles of women, both lay and ordained, in the church today.

The women of the diocese came together February 7, 2004 for a very successful annual meeting at St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church in Temple Hills, MD.

Ms. Betty Coates, Diocesan Jubilee Officer, was moderator for the forum on “Where Have We Been- Where Are We Going- How Do We Get There.”The participants were Ms. Barbara McKee, Province III Representative to the National Board of the ECW, and Ms. Ruby Van Croft, Vice President of the Province III Synod. The Rev. Canon Nan A. Peete, Canon for Deployment and Ordination, preached the sermon at the morning Eucharist.The Rt. Rev. John Bryson Chane, our Bishop, addressed the gathering following the lunch.

The ECW Board sponsored a bake table (baked goods provide by women of the diocese and shortbread from St. Columba’s bakers) at the Flower Mart making $1,500.00 which was turned over to All Hallows Guild to be used for the beautifica- tion of the Cathedral grounds.The Board also had a bake table at the Cathedral Open House in September.

Health fairs, celebrations of women and girls days, fashion shows, and a cook book entitles “Food for the Soul,” in addition to Bible study, prayer groups and many dinners are just some of the activities women are involved in. Feeding the hungry, clothing and housing homeless and underprivileged,and providing care for children are also ways women answer the call to “do” and to “witness” wherever needed.

254 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

Women also serve in areas of great responsibility- in areas of governance both in the church and in the communities.

The ECW Handbook of Information is a work in progress. Hopefully,it will be ready for the 2005 Annual Meeting in February.The National Leadership Training program, Women of Vision (WOV), is being updated for presentation in the spring of 2005. Another program, “A Call to Action,” from the ECW National Board has many suggestions in areas of great concern. Those areas are Literacy, Non-Violence, Leadership Training, and Interfaith Education and Outreach. The Diocesan Board has been working, also, on a suggested program “A Way Forward- Toward A Signature Program.”

The main outreach ministries are the United Thank Offering, Church Periodical Club, both National Organizations, and the diocesan Memorial Scholarship Fund. The ECW Board budget covers the administration costs of these funds so that all contributions go directly into the outreach work. This past year the UTO contributions totaled $29,112.66. That is all from nickels and dimes and pennies in those “little blue boxes.” The Church Periodical Club contributions totaled $2,173.09. CPC is a ministry of the “printed word” and depends solely on voluntary contributions which cover projects in juvenile facilities, hospitals, libraries, schools, seminaries, prisons and wherever in the Anglican communion the printed word is needed. United Thank Offering Grant requests are carefully screened by the National UTO Committee. These requests come from all over Anglican Communities. In the Triennial year the grantings are decided by the women at the Triennial Meeting. The Memorial Scholarship Fund contributions are for women candidates involved in the field of Christian endeavor.The monies in this fund are given in memory of women who have passed away. Three scholarships were awarded in 2004.

The Board of Episcopal Church Women depends entirely upon the generous contributions from the parishes and women groups in this diocese. It is a viable working group of the Diocese and works for the benefit of the whole church.

REPORT OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHER

At the Diocesan Convention in January 2004, the Archives presented an exhibit of archival records related to the companion relationship between the Diocese of Washington and the Province of South Africa.

The Historiographer assisted several parishes in researching data for anniversary histories and provided advice to a number of parishes in the diocese and elsewhere on organizing their archives. The Guide to Parish Archives, published in 1995, is now in its third printing and is still being sent on request to parishes throughout the nation.As part of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 255 COMMITTEE REPORTS of St. Francis Potomac in October, the Historiographer presented a talk on the origins of the parish and a description of the diocese in the mid-1950s.

Margaret D. Lewis, the Assistant Historiographer, continues to serve on the Archives Board of the National Church. She attended the annual meeting of the National Episcopal Historians and Archivists in June. In July she conducted a workshop on creating parish archives at the convention of the Union of Black Episcopalians in Cincinnati.

During the year the staff provided reference service for diocesan officials, parish historians, and the public. More than one hundred requests were received during the year, many of them relating to baptismal, confirmation, and marriage records.

The Historiographer expresses his thanks to Margaret D. Lewis, the Assistant Historiographer, and to the following persons who served as volunteers in the archives during the past year: Gloria W. Balkissoon, Austin B. Creel, Rosina P. Hanc, John Kuiper, David Marsh, Diane Ney, Marianne Ruch, Jesse Wilson, Linda Wirth, and Mary Withum. New volunteers are always welcome.

The diocesan archives is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 am to 2:30 pm on the fourth floor of the cathedral administration building. Phone 202-537-8981.

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN HUNGER FUND COMMITTEE

The Diocesan Hunger Fund Committee was established for the purpose of providing grants to organizations that feed those faced with hunger and malnutrition in the Diocese of Washington.

In the year 2004, the Hunger Fund Committee continued to provide small grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to organizations and programs in the Diocese that provide food to the hungry.Those receiving grants in 2004 were:

Charlie’s Place $5,000 Christ Church, LaPlata $2,500 Christmas Connection $1,500 Community Ministry of Montgomery County $5,000 Loaves and Fishes $4,500 Manna Food Center $3,500 St. Nicholas Church $5,000 Shepherd’s Table $5,000 Stepping Stones Shelter $2,000 The Hunger Fund Committee members serving in 2004 were Robert Andersen, the Reverend Norma Blackwell, Susan Dolan, Marie-Thérèse-Giordani, 256 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

Cheryl Maxwell, Lee Mericle, and Keith D. Powell (chair). As a new member the Committee welcomed Eric Shoemaker, of Christ Church, Port Tobacco Parish. This year the Committee also made several additions and revisions to its Website and to its financial reporting documents.

Due to an increase in applications and a slight decrease in funding, the Committee has often not been able to provide funding to deserving grantees. Consequently, the Committee, under the signature of the Bishop, distributed a letter to the entire Diocese asking that parishes and congregations prayerfully consider either starting or increasing their contributions to the Hunger Fund Committee.

The Committee also continued its dialogue with the Bishop concerning how he could best assist the Committee in its outreach efforts.

The highlight of the year was the annual “Walk for the Hungry.”On Sunday,October 17, over seventy walkers, who were sponsored by over two hundred individuals, participated in this event that raised over $3,000. These funds will greatly assist the efforts to alleviate the problem of hunger in this diocese. The Committee wishes to thank all those who participated.

Next year, the Committee plans to expand the “Walk for the Hungry” more aggressively, solicit funding from congregations in the Diocese, and continue its efforts to publicize its work.

The Committee wishes to remind the people of the Diocese of this great need and to ask that the parishes, congregations and missions reestablish the mechanism for collecting regular contributions.

Mr. Keith D. Powell, Chair

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN INVESTMENT COMMITTEE

The Investment Committee was established 54 years ago in order to provide professional supervision of the investment funds belonging to parishes, separate congregations, missions, and the Diocese which are invested in the Diocesan Investment Fund.The Fund was valued at approximately $12.2 million at year-end 2003 and has 49 participants. Members of the Committee are Episcopalians who are members of the investment and financial community who possess the expertise and experience to guide the investment process and oversee the performance of Diocesan investments.The Committee also reviews those Trusts of which the Diocese is a beneficiary and meets with the corporate trustees of those trusts to ascertain that the trusts are being invested appropriately so as to maximize the return to the Diocese while minimizing risk to ensure that the Diocesan objectives of income and reasonable growth consistent with safety are being met.

The Diocesan Investment Fund is a balanced fund that is invested in a combination of common stocks and fixed income securities.The investment manager of the Fund JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 257 COMMITTEE REPORTS is Loomis Sayles & Company.The importance of asset allocation and diversification is well recognized as an important tool in the management of investment risk. The Committee has explored in depth the benefits of investing in multiple asset classes (large cap, mid-cap, small cap, international, real estate equities, and fixed income).The Committee has adopted an asset allocation strategy for the Diocesan Investment Fund of investing in multiple assets classes that perform differently under varying market conditions, and employing a discipline to periodically rebalance those asset classes. The goal of such an approach is to reduce risk and enhance returns over time by taking advantage of the varying correlations among assets classes.The Investment Committee receives and reviews reports from the investment manager of the Diocesan Investment Fund, including reports on investment performance, and meets with the manager on a regular basis. The Committee also reviews independently prepared reports on the investment performance of the Fund.

The Committee’s Statement of Investment Policy, adopted in 2000 and revised in June 2002 and again in November 2003, state the principals, policies and procedures under which the Diocesan Investment Fund is managed.The Committee also establishes asset allocation guidelines for the Diocesan Investment Fund which are reviewed and updated periodically. A copy of these policies and guideline statements are posted on the Diocesan Website, or may be obtained by calling Eva Myking, Director of Administration, at 202-537-6537.

The Committee believes that the professional supervision that it offers is to the benefit of all Diocesan parishes, separate congregations, and missions in the investing of their funds, and the Committee encourages participation in this Fund.

Ms. Ellen Fishwick Martin, Chair

THE TASK FORCE ON JUSTICE AND EQUITABLE TREATMENT IN THE CHURCH

The primary mission of this Task Force is to help educate and bring about real change in terms of how the diocese thinks about lay and clergy compensation. The Task Force membership is representative of all regions of the diocese, with members attending various parish sizes, and representing diverse staff positions (i.e., clergy,lay professionals, musicians, etc.).The Task Force proposes that in order to enhance communication and build more life-giving relationships between congregations and the diocese, the development of the following pastoral processes is essential. The Task Force has been asked to work with Canon Paul Cooney in the future to find ways for the following pastoral processes to be implemented:

• For Diocesan representatives to work with congregations to assist them to practically assess, in terms of their current budget and future financial gains/losses, if they can afford to compensate clergy and lay staff equitably. 258 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

• For the Diocese to identify and publicize key contacts at Church House and/or in Diocesan Committees, for clergy, lay staff, and congregations to contact with any questions or concerns around compensation. • For the Diocese to sponsor an annual educational event for Wardens,Vestries, and Treasurers, which would include both a discussion of healthy personnel management and fair and equitable employment practices, and a feedback session for congregations to voice their concerns and questions. • To encourage and assist parishes to form partnerships with other parishes who may not be able to afford full-time staff to pool financial resources (Examples: hiring a full-time Youth Director to serve four congregations; hiring a full-time organist who will serve two congregations; hiring a full-time priest who will serve two congregations). • For the Diocese to re-institute “Aided Parish Status” for parishes who can no longer be self-supportive and who need to receive financial assistance from the Diocese in order to meet its compensation obligations. In this case, a team would work with the “aided parish” to create a 3-5 year plan to empower the parish to become once again self-sufficient and able to pay clergy and lay staff equitably. It is worth noting that continuing conversations with congregations still reveal challenges when it comes to meeting the minimum diocesan guidelines in terms of compensation. The Task Force suggests that Church House Staff, the Personnel Committee, and this Task Force work together to address this issue.The Task Force stands ready to serve the diocese and be a resource when congregations or Church House requests our assistance.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON MINISTRY

The Diocese of Washington was the first diocese in the Episcopal Church to have a Commission on Ministry. Now a requirement of the national canons, the Commission serves at the appointment of the Bishop, with the consent of the Diocesan Convention. The members of the Commission in 2004 were Ms. Bonita Bantom (St. Mary’s, DC), the Rev.Virginia Brown-Nolan (St. Luke’s, DC) the Rev. Patricia Downing (Good Shepherd, Silver Spring), Mr. Matthew Gobush (Christ Church, Georgetown), the Rev. Vincent P. Harris (St .George’s, DC), the Rev. John T. W. Harmon (Trinity, DC), Ms. Sandra Kolb (St. Thomas’, DC), Mr. Emerson Markham (Nativity, Camp Springs), Ms. Lynette Mattheson-Graham (St. Michael and All Angels, Silver Spring), and the Rev. William M. Shand, III (St. Francis, Potomac), chair. The Rev. Canon Nan A. Peete is staff liaison to the Commission.

Much of the past year was taken up in consideration of the sweeping revisions to Title III in the national canons. This revision, undertaken at the 2003 General Convention, substantially added to the scope of the COM’s existing work, as well JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 259 COMMITTEE REPORTS as adding new responsibilities. The COM continues to have oversight, with the Bishop, over the process of discernment by those who are examining God’s call to ministry, be it ordained or lay. Under the new canon, that oversight will include assuming some of the primary duties of the Standing Committee with respect to examination of persons applying for Candidacy and subsequently ordination. The Standing Committee is not relieved of this role, but their primary responsibility has been lessened. Another new responsibility for the COM will be the oversight of continuing education opportunities for clergy within the diocese.

At the same time, Canon 4 of Title III now charges the COM with oversight of those “Licensed Ministries” such as Eucharistic Minister, Eucharistic Visitor, Catechist, or other pastoral leaders. For the immediate future, this work continues as before, but the COM is aware of the need to bring the diocese into compliance with the expectations of the national canon. To that end, the Commission anticipates some reorganization of its structure, including availing itself of sub-committees of the COM to deal with specific areas.This would have the advantages of not only sharing the work load, but also broadening the diocesan representation on this important commission.

In the meantime, the Commission has continued with its primary work to encourage the ministries of all the baptized.In 2004,the Baptismal Ministry grant program continued, with individual grants of $500 to each of four applicants. The COM continue to believe this is a resource underutilized in our diocese, and hopes that more effective notice of the grants will increase their visibility.

Likewise, the COM has worked with those who in are in the process of discernment. At present, there are 15 persons listed either as Postulants or Candidates. (Some are in seminary; some have completed seminary but are now in different stages in the ordination process.) Shortly after this convention meets, another discernment conference will be held to identify those who will continue on the path to ordination or who will pursue various lay ministries. These conferences rely on the hard work of faithful committees at the parish level, men and women who meet with the discerners for extensive reflection over the course of a full year. The work of these parish committees is essential, and the Bishop and COM receive their findings with much gratitude and confidence. While the practice of this diocese has worked well in the past, the COM remains open to revisions which will enhance the COM’s ability to assist the Bishop in this crucial responsibility he holds.

The Commission is deeply grateful for the guidance of Canon Nan Peete. She is the direct link to the Bishop, and her knowledge of the demands of ordained ministry is rich. In 2004 the COM welcomed Mr. George McConnell as Canon Peete’s new Administrative Assistant, and he has fast become a reliable asset, assuming this work when Ms. Kim Sanders assumed other duties at Church House. Sheryl Wilcox has offered gracious hospitality at our major functions. Their work is greatly appreciated. Our final word of gratitude, however, is reserved for

260 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

Ms. Lisa Dressler. For many years under Bishops Haines, Dixon, and Chane, Lisa was the “go-to” person:The person the Bishop would go to for records; the person the Chair of the COM would go to for clarification of any question; the person seminarians would go to when the Bishop or the Chair did not have the answers; the person the COM would go to for matters too numerous to mention. She has earned her retirement from her post, but she also has earned the lasting gratitude of all who were involved in “The Process” through this diocese.

The Rev.William M. Shand, III, Chair

REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON PARISH BOUNDS

(An extract of a full report that is available on the diocesan website and from the Governance Office.)

Theology If the question of parish bounds seems mundane, it is precisely for that reason they exist and are theologically justified. Christianity is itself “mundane”: “The Word was made flesh and lived among us” (John 1). “Place” is important as a matter of vocation, as we seek to respond to the world that groans for its redemption (Romans 8).

Parish boundaries are too often wrongly perceived as an archaic measure of where individuals “should go to church.” That was never their primary purpose. Their purpose was to define mission.A parish is a geographic unit of stewardship.A parish church is the place where people gather around an altar to be constantly renewed in ministry that church is primarily the care of the world they have been given.

This does not mean that a parish community does not have concerns or does not do ministry outside its bounds. It does mean that it has primary responsibility for doing ministry where it is, defined by its bounds.That is always the first task. And although parish bounds do not define where the membership actually lives, the parish that ignores its evangelical duty to the community within its bounds does so at its peril.The notion of a “destination church” is popular these days, but even those churches that are such places retain a primary responsibility of ministry, including evangelism, in the place where the church is. Not to do so is to create a “disembodied community of faith,” i.e., one that has no sense of place and too easily becomes disconnected from the world God is seeking to redeem.

Executive Summary • History of Parish Bounds in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. Parish bounds were integral to the organization of the earliest Episcopal churches in Maryland (including those of our diocese) from the seventeenth century on. Over time, chapels of ease, mission congregations and separate congregations all were established within the parish bounds of existing churches without receiving bounds of their own.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 261 COMMITTEE REPORTS

• Historically Black Churches. While Patterns of racial discrimination in the Diocese of Washington are not pretty, the creation of separate congregations was not necessarily a result of that discrimination. Our historically black congregations have highly individual, and in most cases, rather complex histories. • Results of the Questionnaire on Diocesan Parish Bounds. More than three- quarters of the congregations in the diocese responded to our questionnaire. The answers were thoughtful, reflected both clergy and lay opinions, and did not seem to be highly charged or divisive. • Results of the Survey of Parish Bounds in Other Dioceses. While we received information from a variety of dioceses across the country, we were most interested in those dioceses that, like ours, had colonial roots and an inherited parish bounds tradition. Of this group, some have retained parish bounds, some have gotten rid of them, while others have tried various organizational strategies.We did not discern a particularly useful pattern emerging. • Canon Implications. Several canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington refer to parish bounds. We recommend the strengthening of the ability of Convention to set or change parish bounds and the modification of our canons as needed to accomplish this. • Findings and Conclusion. After careful consideration of the data and expert opinions, we find that the Episcopal Diocese of Washington should retain its parish bounds, but with adjustments. We feel that we are not inhibiting church growth by our current use of parish bounds. We also think that the diocese as well as our six separate congregations would benefit from moving these congregations into parish status and creating bounds for each of them. And finally, we urge that all congregations consider making a thoughtful study of their existing bounds and come up with recommendations as to possible changes that might make them more realistic and meaningful for their own members. • Recommendations. The report lists five specific recommendations to accomplish its conclusions. Conclusion It is the conclusion of the Task Force members that parish bounds in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington should not be kept “as is,”nor should they be totally thrown out, but that they should be re-defined, both theologically and geographically wherever possible. Parish bounds continue to serve congregations as centers of community, reminders of outreach service responsibilities, and sources of identity and pride. They are a present and tangible reminder that we need to be mindful of our broader community, of who, indeed, is our neighbor and of our responsibility to respond to those in need around us.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PROVINCE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA

In January 2004, the One Hundred Ninth Convention of the Diocese passed a resolution to authorize the work of the Southern Africa Partnership Task Force to become a new diocesan committee, serving as the official representative of the Diocese of Washington with the church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA).The Province includes: Angola; Lesotho; Mozambique; Namibia; St. Helena; Swaziland; and South Africa. The occasion was marked with a grand celebration of singing and dancing by young folks from South Africa, the presence of Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane and a special delegation from southern Africa, and an inspiring and passionate message of reconciliation and reflection from the Archbishop about the complementary creativity that flows from our mutual fellowship as members of the Body of Christ. Bishop John Bryson Chane, in his opening remarks to the Committee, referred to this newly established partnership as a highlight of the Convention proceedings. The Committee builds upon and expands the legacy of being in relationship with our brothers and sisters in southern Africa that began during the anti-apartheid struggle and continued through the prayerful work of the 2003 Task Force and Province representatives to focus attention on specific issues. The following summary highlights the work of this Committee from its formation in March 2004 - January 2005.

Reflecting on the Theology of Partnership.The Committee’s monthly meetings begin with a theological reflection that calls the members to this partnership — e.g. Scripture, a special reading; or a personal story about an experience with the Province. The hope is to not only “do” but to “be” in a partner relationship.

In addition, the Committee has adapted two documents prepared by the 2003 Task Force.The first is the Theological Statement that “we all may be one” (John 17:21); at particular times we are led into special relationships through prayer,discernment and opportunity; we do not always know where this call may lead; our partnerships must be mutual and authentic; and that we work together to establish justice, reconciliation and peace in our communities and our countries. The second is a set of Guiding Principles for Committee and Ministry Teams that govern our deliberations and our actions.The Principles include statements on the following: reflection, prayer and discernment while building community and seeking God’s calling for a mutual ministry; education/learning to understand and respect cultural differences that may influence ministries; encouragement of mutual local ministry to grow and work together; advocacy in behalf of the Province that utilizes resources within the nation’s capital; and communication within and between the Diocese and the Province. JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 263 COMMITTEE REPORTS

Listening to the Voice of the Province. In March Bishop David Beetge of the Highveld visited and provided insight to the priorities identified for the partnership: the devastation to individuals, families and communities caused by HIV/AIDS; the keen interest in theological educational exchange opportunities; establishing parish-to-parish and/or parish-to-diocese relationships; advocacy within the US Government in behalf of the Province; special attention to issues affecting the lives of women; addressing the needs for social and economic justice; and celebrating the partnership through liturgy and music. The Bishop described specific activities in the Province to restore the humanity of those who suffer from HIV/AIDS by developing a holistic approach to families and communities who care for those afflicted with the disease. He asked that the countries throughout the Province, particularly Lesotho and Swaziland, be remembered.

The Committee was also honored by the presence of Ms.Delene Mark from H.O.P.E. Africa, who urged “patience and commitment to one another,”which means more than “projects and outcomes.”The Committee corresponds with Delene regularly and her voice is a reminder of the mutual journey in partnership.

Bishop Chane was one member of a delegation facilitated by Lambeth that visited Swaziland in July, in response to an invitation by the Right Reverend Meshack Bay Mabuza, Bishop of Swaziland, to address human rights violations in that country. Bishop Chane met with the Committee to brief it on that visit and mark opportunities for partnerships in that Diocese.

Gaining a Deeper Knowledge of and Understanding about People and Life in Southern Africa. Committee meetings devote some time to learning more about the life of people in Southern Africa,such as:a video about the Herd Boys of Lesotho and the isolated lives the boys lead, the difficulty of reaching and teaching them; a film on micro-credit programs and the opportunities they provide for local administration and improved quality of life in the Province; a special report on the women of Swaziland — some empowerment programs and micro-finance activities in rural areas; and a report on campus ministries in the Eastern Cape.

This diocese anticipates a pilgrimage to the Province in the autumn, 2005, coordinated by the Cathedral Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage and the Diocese. One purpose will be to enhance the opportunities to establish partnerships between the Diocese and the Province, by not only traveling to the Province, but by also welcoming our sisters and brothers from the Province to this diocese.

Forming a Subcommittee re HIV/AIDS. Four organizational meetings have been held which included members of the Committee and others experienced in Africa and/or HIV/AIDS. The group developed a preliminary Mission statement that focuses initially on serving as a broker to gather and disseminate information. There is an eagerness and commitment to be a resource to the Diocese on HIV/AIDS, to contribute to parish discernment in considering partnerships within the Province, to articulate and practice the difference between traditional

264 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

“development assistance” and partnership; and to identify others in the Diocese who wish to participate and help form this ministry.

Launching and Facilitating Parish-to-Parish Relationships. “Putting People in Motion” reflects the focus of establishing parish-to-parish relationships to mutually nurture and enrich our spiritual relationships, while supporting identified basic needs of the Province. The Committee seeks participation from individuals throughout the Diocese to join this ministry to facilitate parish relationships. Facilitation may occur by: responding to queries by parishes about how to establish a parish relationship in the Province; providing information about parishes in the Province who are interested in a relationship with a parish in the Diocese;arranging for an interested parish to meet with others in the Diocese who have some experience in such relationships; briefing an interested parish on specific issues such as HIV/AIDS in the Province; or brainstorming specific areas of interest in a parish to parish relationship.

After visiting South Africa in February 2004, St. John’s (Lafayette Square) has formed a partnership with the Diocese of the Highveld (South Africa), particularly the Daggafontein School that serves a nearby informal settlement of Vukuzenzele. Many children in the settlement live in child-centered households and are infected by HIV/AIDS. Examples of activities initiated by St. John’s include: Sunday school children wrote letters, sent pictures and made Christmas ornaments for the 120 students; magazines and posters were sent to the school; a parish donation will enable the school to purchase the property where it is located; and St. John’s will host the Head Teacher in DC and support the visit of a DC teacher to Daggafontein.

As another example of the partnership, a Committee member from this diocese will be in-residence in the Province while on sabbatical next year.

Creating Diverse Communication Tools. The Committee has developed several ways to learn more about the partnership and to become involved in this ministry: a special link on the Diocesan webpage (www.edow.org/diocese/outreach/sapc/index.html that contains links to the theological statement; the guiding principles, and the parish-to-parish brochure; a list serve of approximately 300 individuals and/or parishes that builds upon the database created in 2003 ([email protected]); a brochure entitled “Making Connections with the Province of Southern Africa: a guide to parish-to-parish ministry.”

The Committee will host an exhibit at Convention with photos, music, and materi- als to inform others about the partnership and welcome others to join this vital min- istry.

REPORT OF THE CONVENTION TASK FORCE ON PASTORAL OUTREACH

Resolution #3 of the 2003 Diocesan Convention “Of Conscience and Guidance” anticipated issues coming before the 2003 General Convention concerning the blessing of same sex relationships and the approval for the consecration of Gene Robinson, a homosexual priest, previously married and now for many years living in a committed relationship with a partner of the same sex. The resolution requested a mechanism whereby persons who dissent from the proposed actions to register their disassociation from those anticipated actions as a means of remaining faithful to their understanding of Holy Scripture and the traditional teachings of the Church on sexuality and marriage. After vigorous debate a substitute resolution was offered by the Rev. Dr. Frank Wade which requested the Bishop to appoint a task force comprised of representatives of varying views on these issues, “to prepare a paper for diocesan and Church wide distribution addressing the issues of how faithful persons with sharply divergent views can remain in conversation and communion that is faithful to the doctrine, discipline and worship of this Church.”This resolution carried. (See pages 185-193 of the 2003 Journal.)

The Task Force was not appointed until late in the year and began monthly meetings but had not made sufficient progress to report to Convention by January of the following year.At the 2004 Convention similar resolutions were introduced again as a “Resolution on Conscience,” again requesting that those who dissent from the actions of General Convention be enabled to register their concerns with the Task Force with the proviso that these concerns could be made public as appropriate. It called further for mutual respect. (See pages 206-211 of 2004 Journal.)

The Task Force resumed meeting and had thorough and respectful discussions of the issues and the request for this registration of dissent. By this time the dissent also included disapproval of the General Convention’s actions regarding human embryonic stem cell research,which had not been part of the original deliberations. In time the Task Force approved a form for dissent to be registered and a letter was sent by the Bishop to parish clergy requesting publication of this opportunity. The Task Force does not know the extent to which publication was made by clergy to their congregations, but to date 208 replies from individuals in 40 parishes have been received, with 186 expressing dissent from the actions of General Convention and 22 approving those actions. Some have expressed dismay that the process has taken so long, but the internal discussions, disagreements and eventual consensus required this time.

Among those expressing dissent from the actions of the 2003 General Convention, the five concerns mentioned most frequently included (i) concern that actions of General Convention failed to uphold the teaching of Holy Scripture regarding sexuality and marriage; (ii) disagreement with General Convention’s rejection

266 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS of Resolution B001 reaffirming the authority of Scripture; (iii) concern that General Convention actions imperil our unity with the Anglican Communion; (iv) disagreement with consent to the election of the Rev.V.Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire; and (v) concern that General Convention action recognizing and approving the blessing of same sex unions represents a redefinition of moral behavior.

The Task Force believes that, with the submission of this report, it has completed its assigned tasks. The Task Force will be dissolved unless this Convention or the Bishop wishes it to continue. The members of the Task Force are grateful for the opportunity to have served in this capacity. The Task Force believes the Resolution’s mechanism worked. It helped give a voice to people who have concerns and helped the Diocese, and the Bishop, better understand those concerns.

The Task Force named by the Bishop and approved by Council included the Rev. Carlyle Gill and Mr. James Brown, who served as co-chairs. The other members were: Mr. David Bickel, the Rev. Dr. Phillip Cato, the Rev. Stephen Huber, Mr. Bradley Hutt, Ms. Sally Nevius, Mr. Franklin Robinson, Jr. and Ms. Nancy Warren.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON PEACE

The Commission on Peace, marking its 22 year, has provided on behalf of the diocese the following activities and actions in a peace and justice ministry of lay and clergy persons who volunteer in this ministry:

• Published and distributed A Guide for Parish Dialogue on the Christian Foundations of Peacemaking using preemptive war doctrine as a case model for open dialogue on just war principles,pacifism and preemptive war doctrine in relationship to Christian theology and ethics. • Hosted two boat trips (upper and lower Anacostia River) for diocesan participation in learning about the pollution of the Anacostia River and its effect on surrounding communities, as a partner in the Religious Partnership for the Anacostia River. • Provided a grant of $2,500 as seed money that generated grant money for the startup of Greater Washington Interfaith Power and Light (GWIPL), an affiliate partner in Interfaith Power and Light, a national program involving some 18 states to encourage the faith community to responsibly care for God’s creation through use of energy efficient resources and use of renewable energy. • Hosted a conference on November 6 at the cathedral on Stewardship of God’s Creation, for diocesan participation, on water (Anacostia) and energy (GWIPL). Purchased 1000 KWH of wind current shares as energy source for this event.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 267 COMMITTEE REPORTS

• Provided funding support for program activities linked to areas of concern that have been a focus of the Commission on Peace. Grants of $3,000 each were given to: 1. American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem (St. George’s College — Kid’s for Peace program). 2. The Diocese of Swaziland: St. Margaret’s Church AIDS orphan program. 3. The House of Ruth, Washington, DC, a provider of shelter and service programs for women and their families affected by domestic violence. • The International Economics Committee issued brief summaries of economic activities that affect our global economy. The summaries are posted on the diocesan Commission on Peace website. • Requests have been made for speakers on the environment, citizen response to war, terrorism and violence, which were filled by members of the commission. • Honored Dr. Helen Caldicott as the 2004 Peacemaker Award recipient, renewing focus on the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the dangers of nuclear waste and growing emphasis on nuclear energy.

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

The Diocesan Personnel Committee, established by the Bishop and Council in October, 1983, is charged with the development and on-going review of the personnel policies and procedures of the Diocese, including salary scales and other standards regarding compensation and benefits of clergy,lay employees and church musicians. In fulfillment of its responsibilities, the Committee updates the annual parochial compensation guidelines recommended by the Diocese. It also develops position descriptions, evaluation models, policy guidelines and salary scales for clergy, lay employees and church musicians as needed or when requested by the Bishop and Council. A continuing effort is made to assure that benefits for clergy, lay employees and church musicians are similar and that unnecessary duplication in the Guidelines is avoided.

The reorganization of diocesan committees and commissions which took place in 2004 resulted in a somewhat more limited list of accomplishments of the Personnel Committee this past year. The Committee has continued its ongoing review of all of the guidelines which have been developed and published in past years, and when requested by various parishes, has provided advice concerning issues related to the guidelines. Each year the Personnel Committee works on a variety of tasks, including matters requested by the Bishop and the Diocesan Council, tasks that were continued from previous years, and on-going revision and updating of previously published guidelines. In accordance with current diocesan policy, The Diocesan Personnel Policies and Guidelines are reviewed annually, revised, and published on the Diocesan

268 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS web page. A complete review of the Guidelines will be undertaken early in 2005 and will be available by the autumn.

Based on both U.S. Department of Labor data and the continuing effort to assure that clergy, musicians, and other parish employees are adequately compensated, the Committee recommends each year a cost of living increase (COL) for the following year. For several years, the Committee has been striving to bring clergy salaries more in line with comparable secular positions in the Diocese. The Diocesan Council approved the Committee’s recommendation of 3% for 2004. Based upon a study of fluctuating monthly data provided by the Department of Labor and other factors, the Committee delayed until September its recommendation of a 3% COL for 2005. After approval by the Diocesan Council, the 3% COL for 2005 was reflected in revised compensation tables, which have been provided to all parishes.

The Committee is aware of increasing issues concerning employment law, such as the need for a clear understanding of both proper procedures to use in employment terminations and employee rights. Guidelines for parishes in this area are needed. The possible use of a central payroll system for parishes is being considered. Health insurance costs are rising significantly throughout the country and are having an impact on parishes. The Diocese is helping to subsidize these costs in 2004, but it is not clear how the costs will be handled after 2004. The Church House is planning to develop a handbook for clergy, and the Personnel Committee will assist in this task when requested and through its current guidelines.

Also, the Committee will strive to assure that the Diocesan Personnel Policies and Guidelines are available to all parishes, including those without access to the diocesan web page. Many significant guidelines developed during the past two years are important to parishes. Persons without access to the web page who have questions about personnel issues should continue to contact the Personnel Committee.

Dr. Robert Andersen, Chair

REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON RACIAL RECONCILIATION

The Task Force met monthly over the course of 2004 and focused its energy in two areas. The first has involved producing a six hour basic workshop to be offered regularly around the Diocese with the purpose of getting people oriented to racial reconciliation. It was offered twice for Diocesan leaders from the Standing Committee, Diocesan Council, and Church House staff, on May 8 and November 6.According to feedback from participants and our own assessment, it has improved with each offering. Increasingly the theological approach is being well integrated with Fr. Clarence Williams’ Racial Sobriety approach. The Task Force is thankful for its collaboration with Fr.Williams, a Roman Catholic priest from the Archdiocese of Detroit, who has written an excellent book, JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 269 COMMITTEE REPORTS

Racial Sobriety, published by the Institute for Recovery from Racisms, 2002. He also offers training in doing workshops with his material. Two of Task Force members, David Maglott and Myrtle Washington, participated in his June training and took leadership in the November 6th workshop.

The second focus has involved designing follow-up initiatives for those who have taken the basic Racial Reconciliation workshop. Clearly,one workshop is not going to shift the deep systemic, four hundred year old North American history of racializing folk.The basic intent of the workshop to first re-orient people from racial divisions/barriers to racial sobriety and reconciliation, and then offer some ways to maintain that sobriety and orientation to reconciliation.This is analogous to Alcoholics Anonymous, where regular meetings provide the recovering alcoholic with on-going awareness about the alcoholic thinking which comes so easily. What form do those meetings take for those desiring to recover from the pervasive radicalized thinking in society?

This year the goal is to continue offering the basic workshop and expand those invited to include all Diocesan leaders. This includes delegates to Convention, members of all committees, all clergy and wardens. The current dates are April 9 and May 14, Saturdays from 9:00 to 3:30. Please make a note of them. A two-day version will be offered at Virginia Theological Seminary for graduating seminarians in late January. Following these offerings the Task Force hopes to find candidates for special training with Fr. Williams. The vision is to have a cadre of trained folk who can offer material from the workshop and follow-up help to committees, parishes and regional groupings.

Finally, the Task Force said goodbye to the Rev. Dr. David Pollock who, after many years of anti-racism work, resigned to focus his extra-curricular attention on his family, and to the co-chair, the Rev.Allison St. Louis, who has now gone to Hartford, Connecticut, as a canon of the cathedral. There is, however, the possibility of collaborating with Allison, the cathedral, and perhaps her new diocese in this approach to anti-racism training.

The Task Force is thankful for the support of Bishops Chane and Harris, and for God’s grace in expanding this essential ministry among diocesan leaders and in the members’ own hearts.

The Rev. Jacques Hadler, Jr., Chair

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN RETREAT COMMITTEE

In 1967, Bishop Paul Moore, the Suffragan Bishop of Washington, established the Diocesan Retreat Association (DRA). The purpose of this volunteer group was to foster spiritual growth,formation,and awareness of God by sponsoring silent retreats. Since 1967, the Association has sponsored 46 silent retreats. These offer participants an opportunity to listen to God in sacred stillness, deepen their relationship with Him, and experience His grace of renewal and revitalization.

270 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

In 2004, the DRA became an official committee of the Diocese, and its name was changed to the Diocesan Retreat Committee (DRC).This milestone and other accomplishments in 2004 included the following:

• During Lent, the Committee sponsored a silent retreat at the College of Preachers (now called Cathedral College).The Rev. John David van Dooren, All Souls Memorial Episcopal Church, led the retreat. Father van Dooren chose “The Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries of our Lord’s Life” as the retreat theme. Twenty-four people from the Dioceses of Washington and Virginia attended. • In May, the DRC held its annual meeting at the College of Preachers. Dr. Bruce Johnson, Chair, led the meeting.The Rev. Mary Sulerud, Canon for Stewardship, who serves as Diocesan liaison to the DRC, attended part of the meeting. Major foci of discussion included DRC costs and revenue sources, ideas about publicizing retreats, suggestions for future retreat conductors, a DRC survey report, and election of officers. Elected officers included Eliza Wolff, Chair; CB Wooldridge, Retreat Manager; Margaret Bennett, Secretary; Norman Whitmire, M.D.,Treasurer; and the Hon. Helen Harrington and Anne Hopewell, Members-at-Large. Several months later, Anne Hopewell had to resign her committee membership, and the DRC Executive Committee appointed Stuart Edwards as her replacement. • In May, the newly elected officers continued exploration of a formalized relationship with the Diocese. Dr. Bruce Johnson, the former Chair, had previously begun these discussions with Bishop Chane. The Committee believed that a closer alliance with the Diocese would provide new opportunities for DRC development, make the powerful spiritual resource of silent retreats more widely known,and provide a mechanism for DRC donors to make tax deductible gifts.Ann Talty, Governance Officer, and Canon Sulerud provided very helpful communication about the process of becoming a Diocesan committee. On July 13, 2004, the Diocesan Council approved a recommendation that it become a committee of the Diocese, that the name change to the Diocesan Retreat Committee, and that there be a new charter. This was a milestone in its 37 year history. The new charter charged the Committee to explore and develop possibilities to provide assistance to congregations about appropriate retreat spaces; maintain a list of retreat leaders gifted in different kinds of retreats or approaches; determine if other forms or locations of retreats could or should be expanded; suggest what the relationship could or should be with the Friends of St. Benedict, the Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage, and the Task Force on Christian Formation; explore funding resources from the Wilmer Fund and other resources with the Canon for Ministry and Resource Development; work with the Canon for Ministry and Resource Development and the Governance Officer on this task; and provide a status report in June 2005 and a report to Council in June 2006. • Over the next several months, members of the DRC Executive Committee held various meetings as it excitedly explored the possibilities of new working JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 271 COMMITTEE REPORTS

relationships and new opportunities to meet the Diocesan charge. The Committee met with Bishop Chane and Canon Sulerud, followed by meetings with Elizabeth Swenson, Secretary and Executive Director, and the Rev. Craig Eder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Friends of St.Benedict.There were further meetings with the Rev.Eugene Sutton,Canon Pastor and Director of the Washington National Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage; and Paul Canady, the Diocese’s Deputy for Youth Ministry and Diocesan liaison to the Task Force on Christian Formation. Through the meetings the Committee gained a deeper appreciation and stronger vision of the unique role and valuable spiritual resources the DRC offers through its silent retreats. • To establish a firmer financial base and to expand outreach and scholarship for our retreats, the DRC applied for a grant from All Souls’Memorial Episcopal Church endowment funds. In September, All Souls awarded the DRC $4,560. The rector,Father John David van Dooren,also volunteered to assist in outreach and contacted rectors at three predominately African American parishes. The Committee also contacted the Diocese to solicit ideas about outreach. • In the fall, the Washington Window and the Diocesan web site’s calendar publicized the retreats; and the first draft of a DRC brochure was completed. • In December, the DRC sponsored a silent Advent retreat with thirty individuals at Cathedral College. Canon Eugene Sutton led the retreat and chose “The Soul in Winter” as the theme. At the fellowship hour, Canon Sulerud presented a Diocesan Commendation to Bruce and Emily Johnson for their 18 years of DRC leadership and support.The DRC used a new evaluation form at this retreat and began collecting information from retreatans about suggestions for retreat leaders and retreat sites. Material was distributed from the Friends of St. Benedict and the Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage. In December, Executive Committee members met with Mr. Jim Naughton and Ms.Amy Elliott to discuss communication tools and approaches within the Diocese. We submitted materials to Washington Window, Church House News, and the Diocesan calendar to publicize the 2005 Lenten silent retreat. Its theme will be “All My Fresh Springs are in You.” Brother Curtis Almquist, Superior of the Society for St. John the Evangelist in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a former parish priest, will lead the retreat. Brother Almquist is a nationally known retreat conductor, spiritual director and Publisher of Cowley Publications. In 2005, the DRC will concentrate on the following activities:

• meet throughout the year to guide and review activities related to its Diocesan charter. • complete booth materials and staff a booth at the Diocesan Convention. • explore retreat resources to reduce participant costs and expand scholarships.

272 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE REPORTS

• publicize retreats through Diocesan communications and mailings to DRC members, the Friends of St. Benedict, the Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage, and the Task Force on Christian Formation. • display material from the Friends of St. Benedict, the Cathedral’s Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage,and the Task Force on Christian Formation at retreats. • sponsor a silent Lenten retreat March 4-6 and a silent Advent retreat December 2-4 at Cathedral College. • hold an annual meeting in May to discuss DRC activities and ask for ideas and recommendations. • continue to communicate and collaborate with the Diocese throughout the year, and provide a DRC first-year status report to the Council in June. Ms. Lila Wolff, Chair

REPORT OF THE ST. MARY’S COUNTY SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

The St. Mary’s Scholarship Committee administers a fund for minority students residing in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The Committee held its annual meeting at Trinity Church, St. Mary’s City on May 4, 2004. Five graduating high school applicants were interviewed, and three renewal applications were received from current scholarship students who are currently attend college.The Committee recommended to Bishop Chane that $8,000 be allocated to seven students.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Clergy and Lay Delegates

FROM: Michael Febrey Chair, Finance Committee

DATE: December 16, 2004

SUBJECT: Budget for Mission and Ministry Diocese of Washington – 2005

During our regional gatherings this year the bishop challenged each of us as members of this diocese to work toward being a missionary diocese. This means that every congregation is actively engaged in apostolic ministry both within its neighborhood and the world. We presented a picture of the diocese that literally challenges the very possibility of moving from maintenance to mission.

Following the Regional Assemblies, much valuable feedback was incorporated into the final budget formation for 2005. Please find attached the 2005 Proposed Budget, ratified by Diocesan Council at its December meeting and recommended to the Convention for adoption. To highlight, the guiding principles in developing this budget were:

• We have estimated that parish giving will increase $150,000 over the 2004 giving commitment. This is based on the historical trend of actual dollar increase and does not reflect an increase in percentage giving on NOI. • Soper funds* required to offset expenditures are reflected as revenue. • Increases for staff COLA and health insurance benefits have been offset by salary savings due to staff restructuring. COLA increases are not applied to diocesan staff earning over $70,000 per year. • Budgeted giving to the National Church is 21% of 2003 total revenues, which is the full amount requested under guidelines established by the General Convention. Since 2002 the diocese has focused on developing its missionary imperative through ministry in the areas of:

Youth and Young Adult Ministry Congregational Ministry Global Ministry

Enclosed please find a retrospective look at the work accomplished in 2004 in each of those key initiatives.

296 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON OPERATING BUDGET

*The Soper Trust currently has total assets of approximately $26,000,000. These funds are held and invested on behalf of the Diocese by Riggs Bank.Each year the Diocese receives approximately $1,200,000 in annual income distributions. This income is legally unrestricted and available for any use determined by Convention/Council.

298 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON OPERATING BUDGET

During the 2002 Regional Assemblies we proposed and the diocesan Convention subsequently concurred with the establishment of three priorities for our work as a Diocese. These were:

Youth and Young Adult Ministries, Congregational Ministries and Global Mission

Thanks to the efforts of your diocesan staff and various task forces, committees, commissions and volunteers, we have made significant progress in each of these areas. Some of those highlights follow.

Youth Ministries: During the past year we have made important strides to strengthen youth ministries in both congregational and academic settings:

† Congregational Youth Ministries. • 350 young people participated in at least one Diocesan event in 2004 with 70 adult volunteers • Nine new parishes attended at least one Diocesan youth event • Conducted first Youth Leader workshop for 67 participants • Establishing new relationship with young people in Diocese of Alaska • Deputy continues to work with new congregations to enhance or develop their youth ministry

Congregational Ministries: We have sought to improve and expand resources to sup- port our congregations and their leaders-both lay and ordained.

† Congregational Development • Continued emphasis on congregational visitations including the Bishop’s preliminary informal visit to congregations on weekday evenings preceding the Sunday visit • Enhanced preparation and follow-up mechanisms supported by seminarians accompanying the Bishop on Sunday visits and the work of the Canon for Congregational Development • Added Tuesday evening visitations to congregations who would otherwise not be visited during the year

† Deployment • Assisted 28 congregations in calling new Clergy or Interims • Expanded opportunities for clergy Professional education • Revitalized Fresh Start, a program for all clergy in new ministries

† Communications • Focused attention on congregational life through feature articles in the Washington Window • Designed new parish web sites, and worked with parish communicators to improve existing sites • Initiated an on-screen advertising campaign at regional cinemas • Conducted workshops for parish communicators • Enhanced the visibility of the diocese through placement of major articles and interviews with the Associated Press and in The Washington Post, Washingtonian Magazine and on National Public Radio

† Administrative Support • Expanded web-hosting and information technology/network support for congregations • Held workshops for popular software (QuickBooks; Servant Keeper) • Improved support of congregational building and construction processes • Assisted congregations with insurance policy issues and damage claims following fires and other catastrophes. • Continued assistance with property legal matters. • Provided on-site risk assessments by request

Global Mission: The third area of priority has included efforts through which we as a Diocese carry out the work God has called us to do within the Diocese and in the world.

February 25, 2005

Diocesan Council The Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington Washington, DC

Dear Diocesan Council:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Convention of the Protestant Church of the Diocese of Washington (the Diocese) and the related Investment Fund for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and will issue our reports thereon dated February 25, 2005. These statements are qualified relating to depreciation of Mission Churches and Vicarages as explained below.

Consistent with our professional standards, the policy of our firm and our personal commitment to keep the lines of communication open with you, management and our audit team, we wish to remind and share with you the following:

Our Responsibility Under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards We strictly adhere to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants professional standards developed over many years which continue to evolve. Our specific responsibility is to design and conduct an audit that will provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material error.

We are also committed to using our experiences in serving organizations to be efficient in our approach and to provide you and your management with useful suggestions and ideas during our audit. While we work cooperatively with your management and staff, we decide which procedures to perform as well as how much, when and what kind of evidence we need to fulfill our responsibilities.

312 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON AUDITOR’S REPORT

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies and Their Application As is the case with virtually all organizations, the Diocese has available alternative accounting principles from which to choose. These choices involve matters such as revenue recognition, depreciation expense, and capitalization of costs. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Diocese currently depreciates capitalized assets other than Mission Churches and Vicarages over their estimated useful lives using a straight-line depreciation method. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require depreciation to be recognized on all capital assets. If Mission Churches and Vicarages were depreciated, such assets and the total net assets would decrease by $406,116 as of December 31, 2004. As a result of this departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, our auditors’ report expresses a qualified opinion on the 2004 financial statements of the Diocese. There were no accounting policy changes for 2004.

Management's Judgments and Accounting Estimates Financial statements require the use of accounting estimates and management judgments. These judgments involve matters such as classifications and allocations among expense accounts, collectibility of accounts receivable, and depreciation expense. There was considerable judgment exercised by management in the allocation of costs of each fund.

For the 2004 presentation, management reevaluated each fund within unrestricted net assets. As a result of the review an entry to recast net assets was prepared by management and reflected in the audited financial statements.

Audit Adjustments The following adjustments were recorded by management as a result of our audit:

Accounts receivable - adjustment to record a parish pledge receivable. This entry increased net assets $17,000. Fund balance – an entry to reclassify a fund balance account to a liability. This entry decreased net assets $500.

The following audit adjustment was not recorded based on an evaluation that the impact on the financial statements taken as a whole is not material:

Non-Interest Bearing Notes – An entry to record the estimated discount on the non-interest bearing notes totaling approximately $23,700.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 313 AUDITOR’S REPORT

Consultations with Other Accountants We are not aware of consultations with other accountants. Additionally, our engagement to perform the audit was not conditioned upon our willingness to allow certain accounting treatments.

______

During our audits, we were given access to all records, documents, and other supporting data and were furnished with all information and explanations requested. Officers and employees of the Diocese cooperated fully with us. There were no disagreements with management in the course of our audit.

This letter is intended solely for the information and use of you, the Diocesan Council, and management, and not intended to and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We appreciate the cooperation and courtesies extended to us by the Diocese’s professional personnel.

Sincerely,

Ted Browning, CPA Partner

316 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON AUDITOR’S REPORT

Report of Independent Auditors

Diocesan Council of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington (the Convention) for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Convention’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Convention's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Convention does not depreciate Mission Churches and Vicarages over their estimated useful lives. In our opinion, depreciation should be recognized on capitalized assets to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If Mission Churches and Vicarages were depreciated on a straight-line method, such assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and the net assets would decrease by $409,116 as of December 31, 2004.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 317 AUDITOR’S REPORT

In our opinion, except for the effect of not recording depreciation as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Convention as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization The Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington (the Convention) is an organization made up of member parishes and missions in and around the Washington area. The primary purposes of the Convention are governance of the Dioceses through the Bishop and the Diocesan Convention; programs dedicated to National Church activities; mission and evangelism work in the Diocese; and congregational ministry.

The Convention is a not-for-profit, religious organization and is generally exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Convention are maintained on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, except for the policy on depreciation of Mission Churches and Vicarages, discussed below. The accounts are segregated by separate funds established in accordance with specified activities, purposes or restrictions.

Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Statement Presentation In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Convention reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. In addition, the Convention presents a statement of activities, which reports expenses by functional classification, and a statement of cash flows.

Unrestricted net assets represent that part of the net assets that is neither permanently restricted nor temporarily restricted by donor-imposed stipulations. Included in the unrestricted net assets classification are the following:

Discretionary Funds – Funds held for discretionary use by the Bishops, or by the Bishops and Diocesan Council acting on behalf of the Convention.

Designated Funds – Funds internally designated for specific purposes.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Temporarily restricted net assets represent that part of the net assets for which the use is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions pursuant to those stipulations.

Permanently restricted net assets represent that part of the net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions requiring that the principal be maintained perpetually with only the income thereon to be available for stated or general operating purposes.

The presentation of information for 2003 conforms to generally accepted accounting principles but does not contain the detail that the Diocese uses for its primary display of financial information. Additionally, while not a separate entity, the Diocese prepares separate more detailed financial statements for the Investment Fund.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Convention considers all money market and sweep accounts to be cash and cash equivalents. Throughout the year, the Convention may have cash balances in financial institutions that are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage. Management does not consider these balances to be a significant credit risk.

Investments The Investment Fund is a vehicle for long-term investment of Restricted, Designated and Discretionary Funds of the Diocese and funds of the Parishes, separate Congregations, and Missions of the Diocese. Income distributions to the Convention are included as additions to the appropriate fund. The Investment Fund issues separate audited financial statements.

Investments held in the Operating Fund consist of U.S. Treasury securities stated at fair market value, which is not materially different from cost. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date and realized gains or losses on such transactions are computed on an average cost basis. Interest and dividend income is recorded as earned and generally distributed, after payment of expenses, in the one or two months following realization. All investments held in the Operating Fund were liquidated during 2003.

Securities held by the Investment Fund are stated at quoted market value, which was $13,433,515 and $12,343,489 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively; at December 31, 2004 and 2003, the aggregate cost of these securities was $11,917,714 and $11,277,875, respectively. The net unrealized appreciation of securities was $1,413,608 and $894,559 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Property, Equipment and Depreciation Property and equipment purchases greater than $1,000 are carried at cost and capitalized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, in the case of donated items, estimated fair value at the date of donation.

The Convention currently depreciates capitalized assets other than Mission Churches and Vicarages over their estimated useful lives using a straight-line depreciation method. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires depreciation to be recognized on all capitalized assets. If Mission Churches and Vicarages were depreciated, such assets and total net assets would decrease by $409,116 and $393,604 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Beneficial Interest in Perpetual Trusts The Convention recognizes as permanently restricted revenue and as an asset its beneficial interest in perpetual trusts held by third parties when notified of the trust’s existence. Under the terms of the trust instruments, the Convention has the irrevocable right to receive the income earned by the trust assets in perpetuity, but it never receives the assets held in trust. Such revenue and assets are recorded initially at fair value with adjustments to such value as changes occur, all as reported by the trustees. Annual income distributions from the trusts are reported as revenues that increase temporarily restricted, or unrestricted net assets depending on the nature of donor-restrictions on distributions. Adjustments to the initially reported assets are recognized as permanently restricted gains or losses.

Pledges – Parishes and Missions Annual pledges of parishes and missions are recognized as revenue based on amounts collected during the year and estimates of amounts to be collected as of the end of the fiscal year; such estimates are based primarily on amounts collected subsequent to the fiscal year-end.

Loans and notes receivable in the amount of $602,652 and $640,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, consist of four loans to clergy employed by the Diocese. These notes accrue contingent interest that is calculated at such time that the notes become due and, generally is equal to a percentage of the increased value in the financed property. The percentage expresses the relationship between the principal amount loaned and the value of the property financed at the time of acquisition. There is a cap on the amount of contingent interest ultimately payable that is equal to a stated percent per year simple interest of 8%. These loans are secured by subordinate deeds of trust on property financed.

Report of Independent Auditors

Investment Committee Diocesan Investment Fund of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Diocesan Investment Fund of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington (Investment Fund) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of activities, operations and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Investment Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Investment Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Investment Fund at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of investment holdings at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Investment Fund’s management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits for the 2004 and 2003 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Standards of Reporting and Accounting Policies

The Investment Fund is a vehicle for long-term investment of certain funds of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington (the Diocese) and of funds of the many Parishes, separate Congregations, and Missions of the Diocese. The objective of the Investment Fund is to seek increased dividends and to attain an appreciation in value that, together with interest income, exceeds the effects of inflation.

The Investment Fund reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets.

Unrestricted net assets represent that part of the net assets that is neither permanently restricted nor temporarily restricted by donor-imposed stipulations. Included in the unrestricted net assets classification are the following:

Discretionary Funds – Funds held for discretionary use by the Bishops or by the Bishops and Diocesan Council acting on behalf of the Diocese.

Designated Funds – Funds internally designated for specific purposes.

Temporarily restricted net assets represent that part of the net assets whose use is limited by donor- imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions pursuant to those stipulations.

Permanently restricted net assets represent that part of the net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions requiring that the principal be maintained perpetually with only the income thereon to be available for stated or general operating purposes.

Funds invested on behalf of parishes, congregations, and missions are included as a liability in the accompanying statements of financial position.

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, and realized gains or losses on such transactions are computed on an average cost basis. Cost for securities received in connection with the issuance of Investment Fund units is set at the market value of the securities as of the date received. Interest and dividend income is recorded as earned.

366 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON TABLE 6 — CLERGY COMPENSATION FOR 2005

This table is provided in response to a resolution of the 1976 Convention that “the salary and allowances of each diocesan and parochial ecclesiastical and administra- tive position be published annually in the Journal…”

Cash salary figures are supplied by (1) the Diocesan Comptroller, (2) the Parochial Reports for 2004, and (3) the Church Pension Fund.

Utilities allowance has to be fixed at a dollar value in order to use the accepted formula for the value of houses owned by the church as rectories, vicarages, etc.Value of church owned housing is computed on the same basis as it is for the Church Pension Fund: 30% of cash salary plus utilities and FICA allowance.

Cash for housing is the dollar amount provided in place of rectory,vicarage or other church-owned property. In some cases it includes utilities.

Total compensation is the sum of cash salary (including any allowance for clergy self-employment tax or FICA), utilities and housing. The Church Pension Fund assessment is 18% of this compensation and is wholly paid by the parish or other employer.

Other allowances are essentially reimbursement rather than compensation. They are most commonly payments for the use of a personally-owned automobile for church business, and sometimes for entertainment and other official expense.

Other benefits available on the Diocesan level include: Group life policy up to $50,000 (variable rate); health insurance coverage ($5,784 per year for single coverage, $11,400 per year for a two-member family, $15,504 per year for family coverage); 403b(7) Seton Belt matching grant ($100). A personal obligation of the clergy is the payment of Social Security taxes on the basis of a self-employed person. The rate for 2005 is 15.3% on earnings up to $90,000 and, 2.90% on earnings over $90,000. The value of housing as well as cash for housing is included in this calculation.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 373 PART IV: DIOCESAN POLICIES

COMMITTEE GOVERNANCE POLICY (adopted by Diocesan Council 5/11/04)

Origin of Committee and First Steps: Formation of an exploratory task force is by appointment of the Bishop. They can be authorized by Bishop, Council or Convention. Its task is to explore the nature of the issue, identify areas of focus, and to develop measurable, achievable goals and objectives. Part of its task is to explain why a diocesan committee would be necessary to achieve this, and it must include a statement of fiscal impact and identification of funding sources.

Creation of the Committee: A resolution goes to Council or Convention as a result of the work of the exploratory task force. The resolution must contain standard language of accountability, including a sunset clause that calls for a complete evaluation after a period of approximately three years.The resolution summarizes the areas of focus, and basically serves as the charge to the committee. Unless required otherwise by canon, the group formed will be called a committee.

Committee Membership: By canon, all members of the Committee are appointed by the Bishop and confirmed by Council. There should be approximately 10-12 members. Generally, members are appointed in consultation with the Committee Chair. Members of the preliminary task force are not necessarily guaranteed committee membership. By canon, members are to be canonically resident clergy or lay communicants in good standing at a church in this diocese. There should be an appropriate distribution of membership to give some kind of balance of clergy and lay, race, gender, region, and parish. The committee may make recommendations for future members.

Non-voting Membership: For various reasons, such as people serving in a consult- ative capacity, members of other denominations and licensed clergy, may have something to offer to the committee, but canonically may not be members. Subject to the same rotation as a voting member of the committee, these people may be appointed ex officio without vote.

Terms of Membership: Generally speaking, all terms are 3-years, renewable once, before rotating off for a minimum of one year.Terms begin after convention and end at the close of convention of the appropriate year.When a committee is first formed, a rotation needs to be built in, with approximately a third commencing with a 1-year term,another third with a 2-year term,and the remaining third with a 3-year term.A member so appointed for a one-year term would be eligible to serve two full 3-year terms immediately following before having to rotate off the committee. However, a member so appointed for a 2-year term would only be eligible for a single 3-year term immediately following before having to rotate off the committee. By canon, the Bishop is a member ex officio of any committee.

Partial terms: If a committee member does not complete a term, that vacancy may be filled (appointed by the Bishop and confirmed by Council). If the time left

374 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON COMMITTEE GOVERNANCE POLICY is one year or less, the member would be eligible to serve two full 3-year terms immediately following before having to rotate off the committee.Any partial term greater than one year means that the member would only be eligible for one 3-year term immediately following before having to rotate off the committee.

Committee Chair: By canon, a chair shall be appointed by the Bishop and approved by Council. Some thought should be given to alternating the chair between clergy and lay, etc., but clearly the person most qualified would be the chair. This is an annual appointment (beginning and ending with each Convention). The norm would be that a person who had already served on the Committee and risen up through the ranks would be eligible to be chair while on a member- ship rotation, and that a chair might serve for two successive terms (a total of two years). It would be desirable at all times to have a couple of people being groomed to take over the chair, and even to serve as a vice-chair.

Normalization of Committee Rotation: There are times when, for whatever reason, the rotation on a committee becomes out of synch.The Governance Officer will work with the Committee Chair and staff liaison to make recommendations to the Bishop and Council on how to achieve a proper balance, allowing for new membership while allowing for a mechanism to pass on historical knowledge. Some terms may need to be adjusted to implement this.

Other officers of the Committee: By canon, any other officers may be elected by the committee itself.

Subcommittees: A subcommittee is an operational unit of the committee that has ongoing work. Prior to the formation of a new subcommittee, a charge to that subcommittee must be submitted to the Bishop and Council for approval, and a report on their work and their goals and objectives must be included in the committee’s annual report to Council and Convention. The Bishop and the committee chair appoint the chair of the subcommittee, with the consent of the parent committee. Members of the subcommittee are appointed by the committee chair and the chair of the subcommittee. Membership of a subcommittee is not necessarily totally drawn from the membership of the parent committee. However, members of any subcommittee, including the chair must meet the qualifications of committee membership and be subject to the same rotation system.

Ad Hoc Task Forces of Committees: An ad hoc task force of a committee is a group drawn from the committee, appointed by the chair with the consent of the committee, to look at a particular issue on behalf of the committee or to complete a project, and then disband.A non-member with specific expertise may be appointed to the task force. The lifespan of an ad hoc task force rarely exceeds a few months. If the work of an ad hoc task force continues for a year or longer, the committee must evaluate whether the task force has become ineffective, is evolving into a subcommittee (which requires a charge consented to by the Bishop and Council), or for good reason needs a little more time. JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 375 COMMITTEE GOVERNANCE POLICY

Accountability to Council: The committee reports to the Council at least once a year. This is an opportunity for a mutual review, and the report and discussion should take the form of what has been accomplished that year and a mutual decision as to the goals and objectives for the coming year. By canon, any change in the committee’s charge, name, membership or bylaws must be approved by the Bishop and Council.

Assignments: Assignments arise from the charge of the committee. The annual review with Council aids with the accountability for this.From time to time,Bishop, Council or staff may ask the committee for assistance in exploring a particular subject related to the committee’s charge.

Ending of a Committee: All program committees will have a sunset clause, generally calling for a complete review every 3–5 years. Following a review process, the Bishop and Council may choose to end a committee, for any of a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to the following: the charge and work of the committee has been completed; a change in focus of the mission and work of the diocese; the committee has become ineffective or non-functional, etc.

Accountability to Convention: By canon, if not otherwise a member of Convention, the chair is an ex officio member of the Convention with seat and voice, but no vote. The committee chair is responsible for producing a short, written report (1–2 pages) for the Convention, due the first working day of the year. This appears in a packet of information at the Convention, is posted on the Website under the information for that committee, and appears in the Journal.

Budget: Unless otherwise included in the budget, there is generally a nominal amount ($100–300) in the diocesan budget for the clerical costs of various committees. Budget requests should be made relatively early in the year for the following year,and be a component of the annual review with Council. Committees may identify possible funding sources, but not engage in fundraising without the permission of the Council.

Staff Liaison: A member of the diocesan staff should be assigned to each committee as a liaison. The relationship varies with the committee and with the individual chair, but the point is to be in relationship on behalf of the Bishop, and to help facilitate the flow of meetings and work for the year. Committees need to be aware that there is very little in the way of support staff at Church House, and arrange for its own clerical work.

Council Liaison: Members of Council may be appointed to some committees to serve as a liaison between the Committee and the Council. This is most likely to happen when some critical work is being doing by the Committee, but may occur at other times or for other reasons.

376 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES

A. POLICY FOR DIOCESAN GUARANTEES OF CONGREGATION LOANS (Adopted by the Diocesan Council in 2001)

Among the resources of the Diocese of Washington are the buildings and grounds of the 94 congregations of the Diocese. One of the important ministries of every congregation is adequate maintenance of existing structures and capital equipment. A number of church buildings and the surrounding land, including cemeteries, are historic sites in the Washington area. In every neighborhood the church building is an important community resource. Above all else, these buildings are the places where God is worshiped and prayers on behalf of God’s creation are offered. Thus, every effort must be made by the congregations that call these buildings their “church home” to ensure that these buildings are maintained so that ministry now and in the future can be sustained.

Further, all Christians are called to go forth and preach the gospel to all nations. This may mean that congregations may be called upon to expand their mission and thus renovate and expand existing church buildings. Such a call to renew and/or expand a congregation’s mission and building or expand structures requires substantial capital resources in order to finance such an undertaking. Good stewardship and effective fund-raising are a critical and primary component to such a mission. There is no outside source, including the Diocese, which can substitute for a congregation’s own financial support for its ministry.

When preparing to undertake any building improvement or expansion congrega- tions are to exercise all possible efforts to secure financing without a diocesan guarantee. Lenders will almost inevitably request such a guarantee, if it is generally available, even when the lender would be willing to proceed without it. Congregations receiving permission from the Commission on Church Architecture to build and/or renovate existing property and from Finance Committee and the Standing Committee to encumber property should make every effort first to secure financing without a diocesan guarantee.

Under extraordinary circumstances the Diocese will consider guaranteeing a congregation’s loan. Examples of such circumstances may include: major repairs without which a church could not function; the building of new worship or program space during a time of increased growth within the parish, yet at a time in which without the new space the growth will subside and/or cease altogether; a congregation with a substantial membership of low income people who can sustain the operation of a parish, but lack sufficient personal, financial resources to support building renovations, repairs and expansion. The guarantee program of the Diocese requires the following of participating congregations:

1. The congregation would follow the existing process of submitting building master plans and/or proposed designs to the Commission on Church Architecture for review, and submitting these same plans to the Finance Committee, along with t he following information: parochial reports and audits

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 377 DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES

from the previous three years; a statement of income and expense of the current fiscal year; a current asset sheet; a description of all fund-raising activities for the building and a statement of funds received to date and funds anticipated, specifying the time frame in which these funds would be received; a case statement for the project; a statement about current membership and projected growth; a statement about current pledges and anticipated growth. 2. The congregation will provide a deposit to the Diocese for the equivalent of six monthly mortgage payments on the date the loan documents are signed. This cash will be placed in an interest bearing account under the Control of the diocesan Comptroller. These deposits will be reported as part of the Closed Parishes Fund. All interest earned will be the property of the Diocese and will be used only for the purpose of assisting parishes with physical property loans or loans for the development of plans for building renovation and expansion. Monthly reports will be submitted to the Finance Comptroller and the Finance Committee. 3. The congregation will negotiate with the lender a covenant that after five years of timely mortgage payments, the bank will release the Diocese from the guarantee, pending approval of the Finance Committee.This effectively limits the number of years that a guarantee will be in place. The congregation will also arrange with the lender to have mortgage payments deducted from their checking account to ensure timely payments. 4. At the end of five years when the Diocese is released from the guarantee, the parish will receive their deposit back, less any payments made on their behalf to the bank, and net of any loan given from the Closed Parishes Fund. The parish will not receive any of the interest earned on this deposit. 5. During the time the guarantee is in place, the parish will submit quarterly financial reports to the diocesan Treasurer in a format acceptable to the Finance Committee. The diocesan Treasurer will maintain a schedule that includes the amount of loan outstanding, the amount of monthly payment, the amount of deposit, the amount of any loan made from the Closed Parishes Fund and the date of the most recent report.This report will be added to the reserve schedule for monthly distribution to the Diocesan Council. 6. To qualify for the guarantee, a congregation must have submitted the most recent parochial report and audit on time. If a congregation has not complied, the congregation must do so within 30 days and then resubmit their request to the Finance Committee.The congregation must agree to submit all required diocesan reports in a timely manner during the time of the guarantee. 7. At the time of request for a guarantee the congregation must be current with their payment of the pledge to the Diocese. Further, the congregation must agree to meet the expectation of moving to the tithe at the rate of 1% a year, if the congregation is not already tithing. 8. If a congregation is unable to make a loan payment, they must notify the bishop in writing and request that the Diocese make a payment on their behalf 378 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES

from the deposit.The Bishop will authorize the payment and notify the Finance Committee chair and the Treasurer of the payment.The Bishop in consultation the Finance Committee Chair and the Treasurer and other appropriate staff will determine the next steps needed to assist the congregation. Notification to the Diocesan Council will be done through the monthly report unless the Bishop determines that additional actions are needed. If the Diocese depletes the deposit, Council will receive a written report from the Finance Committee describing what actions will be needed to assist the congregation in resolving their financial situation. All request for loans to congregations must receive approval of Standing Committee. All request for a diocesan guarantee must be approved by Diocesan Council. At no time will there be more than five congregations participating in the guarantee program. This will safeguard the Diocese’s financial assets and ensure the adequate monitoring of the participation congregations.

B. POLICY FOR SHORT-TERM LOANS TO PARISHES (Adopted by the Finance Committee in 1980 and amended in 1985, 1993)

1. Priority will be given to parishes with the greatest need, but loans will be made available to all parishes.Parishes with other resources must provide justification for using diocesan rather than parish funds. 2. Amount: $35,000 or less; larger loans will be handled on a case-by-case basis. 3. Interest rate: Interest rate will be reviewed and the rate announced yearly; the committee reserves the right to change the rate as needed. The policy of a below-the-market rate is continued. NOTE: See section D for further explana- tion of the following change. Interest rates shall be priced as follows: Interest rates, to be set at closing, at the then prevailing interest rate of five (5) year U.S. Treasury instruments plus .0175 (1.75%), but not less than .06 (6%). Interest rates shall be fixed for the five year term. 4. Repayment period:The standard repayment period is five years; however, the committee is prepared to grant exceptions where warranted. 5. The committee will consider each loan request on its particular merit. 6. Maximum leniency will be exercised as to a loan’s intended use. Loan requests will be denied only for such purposes as restoring operating funds and in instances where the use of other funds is more appropriate. 7. The granting of a loan does not relieve the parish of the responsibility to pay its full asking and assessment.

8. Each loan request must include:

a. A complete description of the project/endeavor for which the loan is intended, including detailed, substantiated costs. b. A copy of the current operating budget, balance sheet, and other substantiating financial documents, all supported by an up-to-date audit. JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 379 DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES

c. A proposed monthly repayment plan, supported by budgeted funds. d. Justifying data to support the parish’s need for a loan.

C. POLICY FOR LARGE LOANS TO PARISHES (Adopted by the Diocesan Council in 1980, amended in 1993)

Funds available to be loaned: $800,000 in Missionary Development Funds (MDF) was set aside for large loans. Small, short-term loans were shifted from MDF to Wilmer Conference Funds, up to the limit of the fund balance.

Maximum amount to be loaned to any parish: $200,000 — this would allow a maximum of four such loans.

Terms:

1. The loan shall be for a period of five years at a fixed interest rate* that will be significantly below the prime rate. Monthly payments shall be made as if the loan were for a period of 20 years, and a balloon payment of the balance will be due at the end of the five-year period. NOTE: See section D for further explanation of the following change. Interest rates shall be priced as follows: Interest rates, to be set at closing, at the then prevailing interest rate of five (5) year U.S.Treasury instruments plus .0175 (1.75%), but not less than .06 (6%). Interest rates shall be fixed for the five year term. 2. In the absence of extraordinary and compelling circumstances, the loan will be renewed for successive five-year periods, but will not be renewed after the twentieth year. Upon each renewal, the Diocese may insist upon an adjustment of the interest rate and other terms. 3. The loan shall be secured by a deed of trust covering the parish’s real estate and approved by the Standing Committee. In addition, the parish shall comply with such of the conditions respecting aided parishes as the Council shall determine upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee (see accountability standards below). 4. The Diocese shall arrange for the preparation of the loan documents, at the expense of the parish. 5. All loans shall require the approval of the Council. Criteria: The proposals would be submitted to the Mission Development Advisory Committee, which would review the mission objectives of the proposals and make a finding based on criteria approved by the Diocesan Council that the proposal represents an “extraordinary missionary opportunity.”

Process:

1. Loan requests would be submitted to the Bishop who, after review with the staff, would route them to: a. The Commission on Church Architecture, if appropriate, for review 380 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES

of the building plans; b. The Mission Development Advisory Committee, which would determine whether or not the proposed project represents an “extraordinary missionary opportunity”; c. The Finance Committee, for review of the parish’s financial condition and ability to carry the loan.

2. Reports from the above committees would be submitted to the Executive Committee of the Diocesan Council.The Executive Committee could request that further work or review be undertaken by any of the committees, or could recommend the loan to the Diocesan Council. 3. The Diocesan Council would act on the loan request. Financial Accountability Standards for Parishes Receiving Loans:

1. The proposed annual budget of the church will be submitted for review two months before the start of the church’s fiscal year. Following the completion of the every member canvass, any changes in the budget shall be submitted to the Finance Committee for review. 2. Quarterly financial statements using the form contained in Appendix B of “Audit Procedures in the Diocese of Washington” will be submitted in duplicate to the Chair of the Finance Committee through the Business Affairs Office. 3. Record keeping shall be done in a manner at least as rigorous as that specified by the “Manual for Treasurers of Missions and Aided Parishes.” 4. An every member canvass with personal contacts shall be held each year. 5. There shall be an annual audit of the church’s accounts according to the standards stated in the “Audit Procedures in the Diocese of Washington.” 6. In view of the substantial amount of the loan, a liaison member of the Finance Committee shall be appointed to discuss and review with the treasurer of the parish any deviations from budget figures, or any plans for special fund drives, or any other activities of the parish that would reflect on its financial strength. D. AMENDMENT BY RESOLUTION TO DIOCESAN LOAN POLICY (resolution adopted by Diocesan Council in 1993)

RESOLVED, that interest rates on all loans (“Short-Term Loans to Parishes,” and “Large Loans to Parishes”) shall be priced as follows:

Interest rates, to be set at closing, at the then prevailing interest rate of five (5) year U.S. Treasury instruments plus .0175 (1.75%), but not less than .06 (6%). Interest rates shall be fixed for the five year term.

Explanation: The Diocese of Washington loans monies to congregations to support extraordinary mission opportunities and other needs.There is increasing pressure on the Diocese to exercise good stewardship over these monies in the making

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 381 DIOCESAN LOAN POLICIES of loans. Past interest rates charged for such loans have been based on an index unrelated to the term of such loans, and have frequently been insufficient to cover costs, including inflation, or to provide a return to the Diocese. There is limited availability of new funds to support such loans or the administrative expense of servicing such loans.

382 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN AUDIT GUIDELINES

Each parish within the Diocese of Washington is responsible for submitting audited financial statements to the Bishop of Washington. These statements must be received by September 1st of the year following the calendar year being reported. To ensure financial statements are fairly stated, canon law requires an annual audit be completed by each parish. For direction in completing the annual audit, in January of 2003 the Diocesan Council adopted the audit guidelines established by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA (DFMS).

These guidelines are included as Chapter VI in the Manual of Business Methods in Church Affairs which is published by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA. In addition to the audit guidelines, the manual includes a great wealth of useful information aimed at assisting congregations in effectively running the business of the church, including information relating to tax, financial management, insurance, and other issues. This manual can be purchased directly from the DFMS through Episcopal Parish Services at (800) 903-5544 or online at www.episcopalparishservices.org

The audit guidelines allow the following three types of financial audit be conducted by a parish:

1. Audit by independent CPA (Certified Public Accountant) 2. Audit by independent PA (Public Accountant) 3. Audit by Committee chosen by parish

These guidelines were created for parishes that choose to do an audit by committee instead of engaging a CPA or PA to perform the audit.The guidelines outline the steps and processes necessary to adequately review the financial statements and internal accounting controls of a parish.

Two changes, which were recommended by the Diocesan Finance Committee, are incorporated into the audit guidelines approved by Council. Both of these changes affect bullet 5 on page VI-3 of the manual, discussing the committee audit. First, the final sentence in the second paragraph of bullet 5, dealing with reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, was deleted. Second, the following sentence was added as the second sentence to the third paragraph under bullet 5: “A committee member may be someone, other than a CPA, who is engaged by the congregation to perform the committee audit,as long as the Committee Audit Guidelines and format are followed.”

The text of the Introduction portion of the guidelines is below (including the two diocesan changes listed above and appropriately marked, that were adopted by our Council). For the other sections (Audit Program Checklist, Sample Audit Committee Certificate, Instructions for the Audit Program), please refer to the Manual of Business Methods in Church Affairs.

1. Purpose: These audit guidelines were developed to assist auditors JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 383 DIOCESAN AUDIT GUIDELINES

in performing the annual audit of the books of account of the congregations of the Episcopal Church. 2. Reasons for an Audit: Annual audits are required by the Canons of the Episcopal Church for all parishes, missions, and other institutions. The primary purpose of an audit is to assure that financial statements are fairly stated. Any person handling the monies or investments of the church needs an audit to protect the church assets and him/her against suspicion of mishandling those assets. Similarly, rectors, vestries, vicars, bishop’s committees, treasurers, and other persons in positions of responsibility may be liable for any losses which would have been discovered by an ordinary audit but were not discovered because they failed to have an audit conducted. In addition, an announcement to the congregation that a completed audit reveals that all monies and investments are properly accounted for will have a positive impact on stewardship. 3. Pre-Audit Advice: When meeting with the auditors, be prepared to discuss your plans and objectives. Auditors are in the position to advise you and serve your interest when they understand the goals you have set and when you can clearly explain what you expect and hope to get from their services. Keep good records and help your auditor save you money by not using professional time for routine work, such as gathering information. Keep your auditor informed of changes and new directions in the congregation.

The treasurer and others, such as Vestry members, rectors, and staff, should be available to the auditor to provide any needed information. A copy of the Manual of Business Methods in Church Affairs should be made available to the auditors. 4. Approved Auditors: The canons permit the auditing of congregational accounts by “an independent Certified Public Accountant,”by “an independent licensed public accountant,”or by “such committee as shall be authorized by the Finance Committee, Department of Finance, or other appropriate diocesan authority.” a. Certified Public Accountant: Very often the complexity and/or size of congregations necessitate an independent examination and reporting on their financial statements.

i. Certified Public Accountants offer several levels of service. These include the audit, the compilation, and the review. Refer to the Glossary of this manual for definition of these terms. Neither a review nor a compilation is acceptable in place of an audit of a parish,mission, or other institution of the church. ii. Certified Public Accountants engaged in public accounting are available to all who wish to engage them for independent accounting skills. These skills consist primarily of the design and installation of financial systems, audits, investigations and reports based 384 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN AUDIT GUIDELINES

on audits, advice on management and financial policies, and tax return preparation. iii. Certified Public Accountants have met the statutory requirements of a state or other political subdivision of the United States as to age, education, residence, moral character, and expertise, and have passed a uniform examination administered by the appropriate regulatory authority. iv. Certified Public Accountants are permitted to advertise their services. This should help you in your search. Generally, when people do not know an accountant in the community, they will ask friends to recommend someone. Businesspersons, especially those in the not-for-profit field, can be helpful in finding an accountant with expertise in the not-for-profit sector. Lawyers and bankers can be of assistance as well. v. Fees are based on time charges. Moreover, fees vary with the level of experience of those required to perform the work. The prevailing cost of conducting a practice in the community will affect professional audit fees. Fees also vary based upon the time of year the audit work is performed. b. Independent Licensed Public Accountants: While the CPAs and Pas are both licensed to perform the same public accounting services, they pre- pare differently to become licensed. A Public Accountant has a license based solely upon public accounting experience.

5. The Committee Audit: These Audit Guidelines were specially prepared for audit by committees. The Audit made by an audit committee will be termed a Committee Audit. The Auditor’s Opinion Letter of an Audit Committee will be termed an Audit Committee Certificate.The Auditor’s Comments on Internal Control we be termed Audit Committee Findings on Policies and Procedures. Audit committee members should be independent of the decision making and financial record keeping functions of the congregation. The members of the audit committee should have sufficient financial skills and experience to conduct a competent audit. It might be appropriate to offer reimbursement to the audit committee for out-of-pocket expenses. An audit committee may consist of one or more individuals. A committee member may be someone, other than a CPA, who is engaged by the congrega- tion to perform the committee audit,as long as the Committee Audit Guidelines and format are followed. The actual number of members should be determined by the size and scope of the audit. 6. Scope of the Committee Audit: The scope of the audit shall include: a. Sufficient tests of transactions to assure compliance with these guidelines and adequate control of the assets of each congregation.

JOURNAL AND DIRECTORY 20052003 385 DIOCESAN AUDIT GUIDELINES

b. Verification (or preparation) of financial statements in the form approved for the Episcopal Church as set forth in this manual. Refer to Chapter III (Bookkeeping). c. A review of management control practices using the Internal Control Questionnaire found in Chapter II (Internal Controls).

7. Accounts to be Audited: All accounts must be audited. The audit requirement covers not only the operating accounts of the organization, but also all its restricted, endowment, and property funds, and the accounts, if any, of its organizations. No church money is exempt from the requirement of an audit. If a separate auditor has audited an account of a separate treasurer, the report should be included in the consolidated financial statements. 8. Objectives of the Audit: The major objectives of an audit of a congregation are to ascertain the following: a. That the various transactions during the year are proper and are documented appropriately (i.e., authorized, complete and accurate); b. That the various transactions during the year are recorded in the proper amounts and in the proper accounts; c. That the assets, liabilities, income and expenses, which should be in the financial records, are so shown in the proper amounts and in the proper accounts; d. That, to the extent feasible, adequate internal control procedures were and continue to be in effect; and e. That the financial statements for the year were prepared from the financial records and present fairly the financial position and changes in net assets and cash flows of the congregation.

9. Timing of the Audit: The Canons call for a church fiscal (i.e., financial) year ending on December 31 of any given year. The engagement of the auditor should be done prior to the end of the period being examined. This timing allows the auditor to include certain audit procedures that can only be performed at year-end. 10. Contents of the Audit Report: The auditor is responsible for submitting an audit report to the Vestry of the church. The Audit Report shall consist of: a. The Audit Committee Certificate; b. The Statement of Financial Position; c. The Statement of Activities; d. The Statement of Cash Flows; e. Completed Audit Program Checklist; f. The Audit Committee Findings on Policies and Procedures; and g. A corrected parochial report as a result of audit adjustments, if applicable.

386 EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF WASHINGTON DIOCESAN AUDIT GUIDELINES

11. Filing of the Audit: a. Prior to actual delivery of the audit report, the Vestry should issue a letter to the auditor stating that all records have been available for audit and there are no funds omitted. b. Upon completion, the Audit Committee shall present the audit report to the Treasurer, Rector, and Wardens. c. Any findings and recommendations should be presented in the Audit Committee Findings on Policies and Procedures, not in the Audit Committee Certificate. These items will be discussed with the Treasurer or other responsible persons and within 30 days their written response, attached to the audit report, is presented to the Vestry. d. The Vestry receives the audit report upon completion. e. A copy of the audit report should be filed with the Bishop or Ecclesiastical Authority not later than 30 days following its completion and never later than September 1 of each year, covering the financial reports of the previous calendar year. The minutes of the Vestry will officially record the receipt, acceptance, and subsequent filing of the audit report with the Ecclesiastical Authority. f. If, at any time during the audit, the records suggest that something is seriously wrong, the matter should be brought immediately to the attention of someone of superior authority, as well as the appropriate diocesan authority.
