That The United Church of Canada adopt a competency-based approach to equipping and evaluating people for leadership in ministry and mission. 2. That The United Church of Canada affirm that assessing the academic readiness and competence for leadership in ministry and mission is a core responsibility of the church and, therefore, that the tradition of naming specific schools as testamur-granting be discontinued. 3. That The United Church of Canada affirm its relationship with its theological schools, and education and retreat centres, and recognize their on-going contribution to the formation and education of church leadership by continuing to provide funding for representative institutions as outlined in this document. 4. That United Church of Canada affirm the contribution of the Designated Lay Ministries Program, currently hosted at St. Andrew’s College, and continue to provide funding as long as this program is required. 5. That the General Secretary authorize the creation of an inter-unit implementation task group to implement the competency approach, and to integrate it with other leadership formation and education initiatives that have been, or may be, approved: the One Order of Ministry proposal of the Joint Ministry Group, the Report of the Candidacy Pathways Pilot Project Steering Group, and the Effective Leadership and Healthy Pastoral Relations initiative. Mandate and Membership of the Working Group on Leadership Formation for Ministry: see Appendix A.

  • Maritime Conference the United Church of Canada the 89 Annual
    Maritime Conference The United Church of Canada The 89th Annual Meeting Sackville, New Brunswick May 22 - 25, 2014 SECTION 1 REPORTS TO CONFERENCE President’s Message This past year has gone by faster than I’d ever anticipated. I have already visited three Presbyteries, and been guest-preacher at two pastoral charges; I am scheduled to visit three more presbyteries, and Bermuda Synod, over the next two months. I have had the privilege of representing Maritime Conference on a number of pastoral occasions. And each visit I have done, has impressed me with the dedication of the church folk who are there. There is confusion and sadness, certainly, as many see attendance falling away from regular Sunday worship services, and as our congregations age. But there is also a sense of excitement, as pastoral charges and congregations start to explore new ways of being church in their communities and in their world. Home church, mission church, coffee bar church, shared ministry, cyber congregations —all are part of the options opening up to those who are passionate about being the hands and feet of Christ. As I sit at my desk this (very!) cold February afternoon, I am reminded of the words of the hymn that tells us, “In the cold and snow of winter, there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see!” Our church is in that waiting stage. We are waiting to see what sort of spring is coming for our church, our mission, our identities as people of faith and a community of Christ.

  • Maritime Conference the United Church of Canada the 93Rd Annual
    Maritime Conference The United Church of Canada The 93rd Annual Meeting Sackville, New Brunswick May 24 - 27, 2018 SECTION 1 REPORTS TO CONFERENCE Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ - John 11:25-26 Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The scripture verses above are taken from the account of Jesus coming at the call of Mary and Martha because their brother Lazarus was very sick. Martha claim’s, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died”. Jesus responds with the above words, and then lives into those words commanding the dead man Lazarus to come out into new life. I offer these verses because Jesus is speaking to us just as much as he is speaking to Martha who is filled with grief at the passing of their brother. We are like Mary and Martha, weeping at the tomb of something that has passed or at the very least will pass. The church is not what is was, the church of tomorrow will not be the same as the church of today, and many of us see this as a kind of death. And yet, just as Jesus turned to Martha and spoke the words above, so he turns to us offering us the same truth and asking us the same question. Do we believe this? That those who believe in Christ, even though they die will live? That everyone who lives and believes in Christ will never die? Do we believe this? If so, then even as we mourn what we lose, we should know that what lies before us has the potential to be more amazing than anything we could have hoped for.

  • Maritime Conference the United Church of Canada the 90Th Annual
    Maritime Conference The United Church of Canada The 90th Annual Meeting Sackville, New Brunswick May 28 - 31, 2015 SECTION 1 REPORTS TO CONFERENCE President’s Message I took on the role as President of Maritime Conference because I felt, with all the uncertainty about the future direction of our United Church, a pastoral response might be in order. As I feel my gifts lie in that area, I expected I would be doing a lot of pastoral care and it seems I was right. So far this year, we’ve seen the death of a dozen or so retired clergy and one minister who was presently serving. I’ve travelled all over our Conference to bring appreciation and condolences at most of these funerals. I’ve done my best to send condolences to families of those dedicated lay people who have died this year as they, too, have given much to our United Church. This year, as in every year, some of our congregations experienced crisis; such things as the murder of a beloved church organist, hurricanes, arson, and suspected fraud. On your behalf, I’ve responded to these and other situations. I’ve also visited The Gaspe, Valley Presbytery, Saint John Presbytery, Truro Presbytery, and PEI Presbytery where members have spoken of their joys and challenges. I’m looking forward to visiting Bermuda Synod from April 7th to the 14th. While the challenges are many with financial struggles, declining membership, churches closing or going to part time ministy, etc., I’m heartened to hear stories of new life, new ways of being church, stories of outreach and mission into our communities and the world, innovative ways of doing worship, an openness to change, and so on.

  • Regional Council 15 the United Church of Canada the 2Nd Annual
    Regional Council 15 The United Church of Canada The 2nd Annual Meeting Virtual Meeting June 10, 2020 REPORTS TO REGION PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it. I am making a way in the wilderness…” I was recently asked, “How is this restructuring thing with the Region going?” The answer depends on your perspective. From the perspective of President, I feel that it is going very well. A few months into my term, I was reminded that if the Region was a human, it would be only a months-old baby. At one point, I said that we were pulling ourselves up and trying to stand. At this time, I fell that we are on our feet and starting to run. There have been growing pains but it is important to focus on the new things that we are doing instead of where we have been. It is also important to note that governance is a process and not a destination. It is continually evolving. Last year, Rev. Catherine MacDonald described the role of President as the “best gig” in the church. I would have to agree. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that it has afforded me and all the faith-filled and enthusiastic people that I have met. Some of the events I took part in this year were joyous and some very sad. Some were educational and some were very thought- provoking.

As you prepare for your last meeting of the triennium, we would like to express our gratitude and thanksgiving for your work over the past three years. The United Church of Canada is truly blessed to have such faithful and committed governors in this time of change as we open ourselves in hope and prayer to God’s new creation. By the time you meet in mid-March, the Comprehensive Review Task Group will have shared its final report and recommendations with the church. We strongly encourage you to read these materials closely before your meeting so you can engage in lively and deep conversations in your table groups. We hope these discussions will help equip you to take leadership roles this spring and summer in your Conferences as they consider these materials and bring forward proposals to the 42nd General Council in August. Also at this meeting, you will work with other important reports and proposals that you will find in this workbook. We thank members whose terms on the Executive will come to an end at this meeting. Thank you for your wisdom and commitment, and for sharing your gifts with the church in this ministry of governance. God’s mission needs strong leaders, and we pray that you will feel called to use your many gifts in new ways in your communities of faith and beyond.

  • Fundy St. Lawrence Dawning Waters Regional Council the United Church of Canada
    Fundy St. Lawrence Dawning Waters Regional Council The United Church of Canada The 2nd Annual Meeting Virtual Meeting September 26, 2020 REPORTS TO REGION Every week, regardless of what church I find myself in, regardless of what community of faith has welcomed me, we pray these words ‘…your kingdom come’. Just what does that mean? What does it mean for us as Fundy St Lawrence Dawning Waters? What does it mean for the United Church of Canada? What does it mean for the Christian church as a whole? Brian McLaren writes “Jesus proposed a transformative vision of God. God isn't the one who condemns the poor and weak. God isn't the one who favors the rich and righteous. God isn't the one who ordains the rich to be in the castle and the poor to be in the gutter. God is the one who loves everyone, including the people the rest of us think don't count.” This year has been a continuation of transformation within our church as we continue to live into our new structure and to say goodbye to the old. As we work through our first year as elected officers of the new Region, there are joys and sorrows, losses and blessings. From my personal point of view, it has offered me an opportunity to spend time with the people who are the Fundy St Lawrence Dawning Waters region. I have traveled throughout New Brunswick and PEI and I have had the privilege to meet with and listen to stories from the most amazing people.
