17 DAILY PROCEEDINGS

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 2008

CLERGY SESSION - Bishop Peter D. Weaver called the clergy session to order at 6:30 P.M. Lynn McCracken and Ernest Belisle Co-Chairs of the Board of Ordained Ministry (BOOM), opened with worship then introduced their report, contained in answers to questions of the Business of Annual Conference. Bishop Weaver asked Sue Evans as the Registrar of BOOM to read the names of those who had moved on to sainthood this year. He then led the body in Thanksgiving for those who fanned the flame of God. Sue Evans recommended that Jacquelyn Brannen, Justin Hildebrandt, Byungmoo Lee, Katherine Mitchell, David Nicol, and John Park be elected and commissioned as probationary members, and that they be licensed for pastoral ministry in preparation for ordination in the Order of Elder. They were asked to leave the room after which they were elected and greeted with applause! We Chang noted that Byungmoo Lee had surgery for a retinal detachment, and was unable to attend. He would be commissioned in absentia. It was also noted that he had no medical insurance to cover his surgery, after which a request for an offering was allowed by Bishop Weaver, to help defray the expenses for the surgery. The offering was made at the end of the session. Sue Evans recommended that Rachel Fisher, Marion Grant, Richard McKinley, Rebecca Mincieli, Jan Parke (Duane Clinker, Dorothy Matson, Patricia Miller Fernandes under 1992 Discipline), and Santos Escobar, each be elected as full member in the Order of Elder, and all but Santos Escobar (because he was ordained in another denomination), be ordained as Elders. They were asked to leave the room, after which they were elected and greeted with applause! During the question and answer period with Bishop Weaver, Gary Shaw, as the Dean of the Cabinet, answered Question 17 (See the Business of the Annual Conference.) Other questions were answered and voted respectively, including those requiring 2/3 and ¾ majority votes. The entire report was then adopted. (See the Business of the Annual Conference.) A motion was made and seconded to reconsider the Board of Ordained Ministry’s recommendations on Question #28. The motion was not adopted. A motion was made and seconded to postpone action on Question #28. The motion was adopted; hence, Bishop Weaver announced the continuation of the Clergy Executive Session to sometime before the Ordination Ceremony, during this 2008 Annual Conference Session Bishop Weaver declared the Clergy Executive Session recessed at 9:20 P.M until further notice.

FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 13, 2008

CALL TO ORDER – At 9:00 A.M Conference musicians presented Bishop Weaver with a DVD of their music. Bishop Weaver thanked and praised God for their ministries around the world. A Dragnet skit preceded the worship Service. Oscar Harrell read Matthew 13:47 as all the District Superintendents were dragged in a net by Bonnie Marden. This was followed by Bishop Weaver’s opening remarks. The Net is the connection. A picture of a Net Maker in West Angola, our covenant partner, was displayed on the screen, as the bishop recalled his trip to West Angola ten years ago. He noted the poverty in time of war then. In the midst of pressures in this world Jesus calls us

18 (like he did with the disciples), to push out into the deep. Where there once was fishing, the boats, the nets were gone! Many had abandoned their nets to follow Jesus. Bishop Weaver showed a picture of the New England Conference delegation that he led to Angola in January of 2008. He read Luke 5:1-11, from “The Message” by Eugene Peterson. From his trip to Angola ten years ago, he recalled a prayer group in Kabala, Angola. They had prayed for peace. A pastor who had not been paid for a long time said “If you have Christ, you have everything.” Natural Church Development shows we need passionate spirituality. We can learn from Angolans! He deplored empty spirituality. He urged us to go deep into the one who went deep into the bows of hell! “Dare to push out a little deeper.” We need to push out deep. In Kabala and Baradande, they prayed for a boat and they got a boat. Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister started the “Faith Foundation.” Bishop Weaver was recalling an article in Time Magazine. Blair’s Foundation is to bring together people regardless of their religion. Blair believes that faith can make a difference. Bishop Weaver put on a Hair Net. Every strand in the net represents a Malaria Net. Tony Blair is working on “Nothing but Nets.” Malaria is beginning to recede as result of the “Nothing but Nets” campaign. An Offering was taken for the “Nothing But Nets” campaign and paper fish with written commitment offerings were placed in baskets by each district. At 10:30 Bishop Weaver welcomed and offered thanks to Bonnie Marden, Conference Choreographer. Bonnie Marden offered thanks to all who have helped at Annual Conference She introduced and welcomed special guests: Jasmine Johnson, Black College Student, BU Hospitality crew, Barb Lemmel, the 2008 Keynote Speaker, Jack Ewing, Director of the Foundation for Evangelism, Becca Clark and Bob Lowenthal from Troy Conference, Elmer Zavala, Pablo Tellez and Jairo Lezama of Nicaragua. Bonnie announced that the Emergency number for Gordon College was 978-927- 2300. Cokesbury would be in the display only on Friday and Saturday. There were signage locations for hearing impaired. She also stated that the Icon in recognition of Civil Rights leaders was upstairs in the Cokesbury display room. ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver welcomed Conference Lay Leader Oscar Harrell to the head table. He would be the first of many Laity to assist Bishop Weaver. Bishop Weaver then welcomed Conference Secretary, Ralph Oduor. Cheryln Gates of Spiritual Formation Initiative played music on a Bell. She stated that prayer and reflection are the foundation of their work. She said the bowl was a gift to the Visioning Table, a sign of spiritual foundation, as a reminder to gently call themselves into prayer in the midst of their ministry. Bishop Weaver asked for a moment of silence, followed by a prayer. He invited the body to call for prayer when needed or desired and also to make use of the prayer chapel upstairs. He invited those who were attending Annual Conference for the first time to stand and be welcomed. Bonnie Marden stated that a monitoring process would be in place by the Commission on Religion and Race persons who are seated in front and would offer a report each morning with reflections. ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIONS - Ralph Oduor, Conference Secretary, announced that the roll call would be taken from the registrations at the registration desk. When voting, vote with the blue (Lay) or gold (clergy) voting card included in the registration packet. He informed the body that RS-209 had been replaced with a substitute RS-209A; Resolution asking for the reinstatement of Gordon College as an approved School of Theology by the United Methodist Church, RS-211 has been withdrawn. Bishop Weaver explained that there were ongoing conversations by the University Senate of the General Conference concerning Gordon College, among others; hence, he had asked the makers of RS-211 to withdraw it.

19 Ralph Oduor reminded the Conference of its rules of procedure. Any motion that is made must be in writing to the Secretary and Presiding Officer before it can be acted upon. Motion forms are available from any of the usher/tellers. If you wish to be recognized, please raise and wave your voting card from your seat, before moving to a microphone. This helps visibility in the front of the Chapel. Ralph Oduor moved that the bar of the Conference include the entire chapel floor with the balcony considered as outside the bar of the Conference. The motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that the agenda printed in the Pre-Conference booklet be adopted as the working agenda for this session. The motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that Kristine Anderson, David Calhoun, Ruth Oduor, Josephine Sierra and Kristin White, be elected as the Committee on Journal and Assistant Secretaries. The motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that Fran Camacho, June Carter, Delphine Clough, Johanne Dame, Paul Doucette, Melanie Fengler, Bob Jackson, Ted Locke, John Loker, Fred Merk, John Morse, Stuart Price, Ellie Reed, James Stephen, Shallon Sullivan, with Fran Camacho as Head Usher. The motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that those who have appropriately filed excuses with the Conference Secretary be excused from the sessions as requested. The motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that all reports printed in the Pre-Conference booklet, and the amendments of the reports of the Trustees and the Disabilities Committee, and RS-207 be accepted as a report from CFA and be adopted and printed in the Conference Journal. Bishop Weaver explained that RS-207 was a report rather than a resolution and although it was longer than 700 words, as prescribed in the Rules, he urged the body to accept it as a report. The motion was adopted. CONSENT CALENDAR - Ralph Oduor said that the Consent Calendar is on the inside front cover of the Pre-Conference booklet. He informed the conference that the following have been removed from the Consent Calendar: RS-118 and RS-120. He stated that the vote on the Consent Calendar would be on Saturday at 3:05 P.M. as an order of the day. No debate or amendments will be allowed. To remove any additional item from the Consent Calendar, simply provide the Conference Secretary with a written request for such, signed by 10 members of the Conference, before the close of the session Friday afternoon. COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP - Leeda Marsh, Secretary of the Conference Committee on Leadership stated that the slate of nominations is published in a handout to members. Leeda pointed out a number of changes to the report. The amended report will be before the body for action on Sunday. We Chang noted that Church & Society was missing in the report. Leeda assured him it would be included in the final report. Leeda Marsh nominated Margaret Bickford as Conference Biographer for the, quadrennium. The motion was adopted. Leeda Marsh nominated Oscar Harrell as Conference Lay Leader for the quadrennium. The motion was adopted. Leeda Marsh nominated William Hewig as Conference Chancellor for the quadrennium. The motion was adopted. DISTRICT 8 APPOINTMENTS - Gary Shaw, District Superintendent (DS), approached the stage to read the RIM District Appointments. Bishop Weaver read a message about the appointment process: The Bishop and Cabinet affirm as their first priority providing an appointment, in consultation with the Pastor Parish Relations Committee, to every charge in the New England Conference. At the annual session of the New England Conference, the DS will read the changes in appointments being made, as well as any charge without an appointment at that time.

20 After the annual session, the Conference website will carry an ongoing list of the change of appointments, charges without appointment, and an invitation to pray for all of these charges. After the annual session, the DS will, at least monthly, communicate with the chairperson of the Pastor Parish Relations Committee of each charge without an appointment concerning the status of the appointment process. The Bishop, Cabinet, District Committees on Ministry and Boards of Ordained Ministry will continue to plan for the recruitment, education, and deployment of persons for serving both full time and part time charges. The Bishop and Cabinet, in consultation with the Pastor Parish Relations Committees, will continue to explore cooperative parish and multiple point charge opportunities for enhancing the effective making of appointments for the sake of Christ’s work in communities. Bishop Weaver stated that there were 99 appointments made this year. The dean for the past year has been Gary Shaw, Marcelle Dotson was the cabinet secretary, and Ron Wilson was the spiritual guide. Bishop Weaver asked them to raise their hands or stand and be recognized. He introduced the cabinet and officers for next year: Ron Wilson – dean of cabinet, John Blackadar – secretary, Heidi Chamberland – spiritual guide. He asked them to stand and be greeted. Phil Viall, the District Lay Leader joined Gary Shaw for the announcement of RIM District appointments. Gary asked the new appointees to come to the stage as each name was read. They were each greeted by Bishop Weaver, and given their assignments. Gary Shaw read the new appointments with clergy and laity accepting missional epistles, for each appointment. Bishop Weaver asked all persons from RIM district to stand. He led the body in prayer. This process for district appointments, recognition and prayer was later repeated whenever other districts announced appointments. HISTORY VIGNETTE, a moment of conference mission history -- the Deaconess movement, especially its connection in the RIM district was recognized. The Deaconess movement was approved in 1888. The first Deaconess home opened in 1889 in Boston. The movement soon spread south into Fall River and Providence. The girls’ industrial home was established in Fall River in 1910. All Deaconesses were invited to stand and were thanked. GLOBAL AIDS FUND – Donna Costa of Methodist Global AIDS Fund moved adoption of RS-204. She stated that no other illness currently results in as much devastation. Victims are invisible. Those in the Third World should not be invisible! Various voices gave testimonies of the loss due to AIDS. Marion Grant, Leigh Dry, John Mueller, Jon Almond and several others using the floor microphones recalled the stories of several AIDS victims including an African Bishop who lost a child to AIDS and a pastor from South Africa who is HIV positive. Donna Costa was disappointed that there was no funding and that AIDS was not placed on Advance Specials. Only $27,000 had been raised so far. Donna is disappointed that while we can raise so much for “Nothing But Nets,” we have not been equal to the task on AIDS. The commitment is to raise $1 per member over 4 years. There were pledge sheets to raise money in each church in the Display area during the Dialogue Session. RS- 204 was adopted. Following the vote, Bishop Weaver asked ushers to distribute the pledge cards. CRISIS OF ORPHANS - David Arruda moved adoption of RS-210 on the crisis of world orphans. He showed a video made by Stephen Curtis Chapman, “Heartbeat for Children Without Families.” Although the number of orphans is estimated at 143 million, it is more likely above 170 million. David’s objective is to bring the plight of orphans front center. There are 16,547 new orphans created during the 2008 Annual Conference Session. RS- 210 was adopted. MISSIONS AND MINISTRIES - Fay Flanary, Conference Secretary of Global Ministries introduced Rachel Barnett from the General Conference on the Advance. We are

21 celebrating 60 years of the Advance. Rachel stated that 100 percent of each gift goes for the target. She showed a short VIDEO on the Advance. IRAQ WAR - We Chung of the Conference Board of Church and Society announced there would be no resolution on the Iraq War this year. Instead he reminded the body that the War has claimed 4096 American dead, and another estimated 200,000 to 1.2 million civilians and other Iraqis dead. There will be Operation Iraqi Awareness; a dowel each representing 20,000 lives lost, will be placed in the ground in front of the chapel. He reminded us that only 2 of those will represent dead Americans. We Chang urged each member present to call her or his Representative, and other elected government officials. Jack Johnson, (a United Methodist) the new Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, brought greetings. Before offering Grace, he asked that we call Governor Patrick and ask him to act on Global Warming. Ralph Oduor concluded the morning session with announcements LUNCH RECESS – Bishop Weaver declared us in recess for lunch at 12:14 P.M.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

CALL TO ORDER - Bishop Weaver called the Conference to order at 1:25 PM. ORGANIZATIONAL –Bishop Weaver welcomed JoAnn Carlotto, Tri-State District Lay Leader, to the table to help preside over the Annual Conference. Bishop Weaver read Psalm 136 – with response “God’s Love Never Quits.” He spoke about “Net Results” of the quadrennium, suggesting that NET stands for New England Transformation, including: The threads of NET strength: (1) Alive vision and mission; he displayed and read Conference mission and vision statements. The new mission of the UMC is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We have New structures such as the Visioning Table, District Ministry Teams (2) Transformational leadership; among the laity and clergy; Certified Lay Minister, program etc. Regional Youth Councils (3) Dynamic Congregational Development; 6 new churches, 3 new charters (4) Creative Resourcing such as “Faith in Money”, “Holy Spirit Initiative” Fund. Growing NET edges (2008 – 2012): (1)Passionate Spirituality (2) New Connections for Ministry (3) Fresh NET Facilities – Facilities are falling apart, we are spending more time and effort on them. We need to make sure we go out to make Disciples of Christ in many ways. Remember the church is the people. A Brochure is to be handed out: “Help! Our Buildings Cost Too Much.” (4) Expanding the Nets – expanding our reach, reaching more people, more diverse people to reach out to spread out, using our gifts together to make disciples of Jesus Christ; welcoming our sisters and brothers of Troy, VT. What will the NET results be? The NE Conference has all the gifts needed. Best of all God is with us! LAITY ADDRESS – Oscar Harrell II, Conference Lay Leader in his Laity Address urged each to use what one has to the best of one’s ability and praise God. He invited Dot Hollenbeck to stand and asked the body to thank her. Thanks for warmth when visiting the many churches of the Conference with Bishop Weaver and receiving welcome, wisdom and knowledge. Our goal is to bring the New England Academy to all 8 districts. “Claity” is the spirit of clergy and laity working together. We are a global church. We are no longer just a member of one church. “I like to be a global lay person.” What can we do to help you? We

22 should try to set good examples; prayer, mind, body and spirit. Oscar invited everyone to take a moment and give a special prayer to the people around them. THE VISIONING TABLE – Veta Daley, the Chair, informed the body that there will be a Feedback Wall. Outside there was a board for members to write on it what vision, passionate spirituality, etc. meant to them; to share what God is doing in their hearts. The Visioning Table is exploring strategies to connect and support our churches. “We are a team, gathered to share and reflect in an open and diverse process.” Members of the team spoke and shared about their work and relationship within the Conference. All members of Annual Conference are included. The Table is involved in creative visioning toward mission and ministry of the local church. It is looking at the big picture, rather than management, in order to provide vision and resources. It is a voluntary connecting point for everyone in the Conference. It is not called to plan, but to reflect. Don’t get caught up in busy work, but listen to God. Guiding principles: passionate spirituality, making disciples, and community building. Their report is in the Journal. DISTRICT 7 APPOINTMENTS - Aida Fernandez, DS, read the Metro Boston Hope (MBH) District Appointments, following the process established earlier. She was joined on the stage by Ralph Oduor the DLL and Josephine Sierra, the Administrative Assistant. Additionally, Aida was joined on the podium by the incoming DS, Martin McLee. Highlights of the district included appointment of the first Certified Lay Minister in the district, Doreen Powell, and two newly chartered churches: Saugus Brazilian Ministry UMC, Massachusetts, and Grace Vision UMC of Cambridge, also in Massachusetts. George Walters thanked everyone for the prayers to get him home and offered up a song, “Jesus.” Bishop Weaver offered special thanks to Aida who is moving on after eight years as DS, and for her witness, enthusiasm and spirituality. He awarded her a framed copy of John Wesley’s Covenant Prayer. HISTORY VIGNETTE, a moment of New England history. Rick McKinley portrayed Rev. Edwin Parker of Vermont. NOTHING BUT NETS - Sandra Bonnette-Kim and Jeff Hunt presented information on the campaign. At General Conference, each Annual Conference that donated enough received a ball signed by every bishop.

At this Annual Conference Session, the district that gave the most in this morning’s, offering for “Nothing But Nets” gets to keep the ball; it was Tri-State District with $14,873.73. There will be bags in the foyer with each district’s name on them – whichever district has the most donated by Sunday will get to keep the ball. Also play the basketball game out front; each point = $1 for your district. Total received this morning was $30,574. There was also a signed picture of Big Baby Glen Davis in the foyer.

SATURDAY MORNING JUNE 14, 2008

CALL TO ORDER - Bishop Weaver called the Conference to order at 8:08 A.M, following a time of music and gathering prayer and reflections on Psalm 5, from Eugene Peterson’s “The Message.” YOUTH OPEN SESSION - Youth led the body in celebration. Alecia Bridge talked about her trip to Migori, Kenya. The worship service included a 4-hour hymn sing, and church is an all-day event. The folks in Kenya taught her not to be concerned because God was always there. Kenyans have an abundance of faith. They praise God for every breath they take. Alecia emphasized true faith and must action as she learned in Kenya. The Kenyans she met worked hard and were grateful and faithful. In the midst of suffering they told her they survived because “Hakuna Matata,” meaning “No worries. God has got my back.” In doing or going on such an STVIM one is much more blessed by the experience rather than the opposite. “I received 10 times more than I gave.”

ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver welcomed Ginny Wright, UMW Vice- President to sit at the table with him, and help preside ORDER OF THE DAY: Jim McPhee introduced Barbara (Barb) Lemmel as the keynote speaker. She is an evangelist and Spiritual Director from Troy Annual Conference and has served as Conference Minister. She is Co-Leader of “Tending the Fire” program. Evangelism is one beggar showing another where to find bread. Rev. Lemmel shared a few concepts of family systems and how it can be helpful to us as individuals and the church, titled, “Basic Concepts of Systems Thinking.” The theory of family systems is

26 that when we gather people together, we don’t act as a machine, we act as a system, and the results are much more complicated than a cause and effect. A net of relationships binds us together. There are three interlocking families, namely, Pastor’s family/family of origin, Family that is the congregation, Families that make up the congregation. A disturbance in any one of those affects all three. Concepts included: “Homeostasis – no system wants to change, even for the better. We begin to make changes, and they last for awhile, but when we stop paying attention, we slide back into the same ways of doing things. For us, the family of origin creates our homeostasis. Anxiety – we’re parts of anxious systems. Two types of anxiety: (1) acute – about a specific situation, about something that actually happens. (2) chronic – about an anticipated situation that is not yet a reality, not something that has actually happened. Chronic anxiety makes smart people do dumb things. People who are anxious won’t act in the healthiest ways.” Barbara showed a video, “For the Birds”, about anxious birds. “Triangles – spread out anxiety, so that no one has to deal with all of it, but it’s spread out among several people. Laws of Triangles: (1) You can only change a relationship you are part of; (2) Trying to change a relationship you are not part of will, in fact, make it less likely to change; (3) To the extent that you pick up responsibility for that relationship you are not part of, you’ll also pick up its anxiety. Why do some people in anxious situations get stuck and other people in them seem to thrive? What is it that makes the difference? Leadership is one key. Moving toward a goal – not just achieving the goal, but focusing on how we get there. Quadrilateral of Leadership in Systems Thinking Self-differentiation – know who you are; know whose you are – be clear about your guiding principles and stand firm on them – don’t necessarily need others to be where you are – be willing to adjust those guiding principles based on solid information Connection – stay in touch with those in the system – work towards health and wholeness of others and you – connection with other churches Non-anxious presence – calmness can be as catching as someone who is anxious – gives others space to get to a place where they can think again – taking responsibility for what we’ve done wrong and not taking responsibility for what we haven’t done. Vision – be able to see the big picture – communicate vision as much as possible, without being anxious, so people can hear it.” Barbara used Isaiah 49:1-7 to illustrate God’s role in visioning. “Adventure gives the Holy Spirit an opportunity to work in new, and sometimes unexpected, ways – helps us to get unstuck. The church is in the midst of an enormous change. Some of the things we dearly love about the church will not survive – and that’s a good thing. I’m not sure the United Methodist Church will survive, but I’m sure Wesley’s guiding principles will remain. To the extent that we can stay faithful and live as people of grace, we’ll continue to be a place where God works in the world. During change it is so easy to look inward – the adventure that will bring us to the other side is remembering we are called to be a light to the world.” .COMMITTEE ON JOURNAL –Kristine Anderson reported for the Committee on Journal that the proceedings of the previous day had been received and found to be in order. She moved their adoption. The motion was adopted. MONITORING REPORTS – Yong Ja Kim, Ann Partner-Nelson and Alex Lee from the Commission of Religion and Race (CORR) made the day’s report. They reminded us that we are members of one body – the body of Christ and of the Annual Conference – every part of body is important. If any part has been neglected, it should receive extra attention. We should care for all members of body. Persons of color were invited to stand to be recognized and to be visible.

27 Monitoring reports help us stay on track and be more sensitive to our diversity of age, gender, and race. The New England Annual Conference has a sensitivity and awareness to racial and cultural differences. Cultural competence takes a step toward deeper awareness by living in the midst of diversity, and intentionally learning about people of other cultures and other needs. True inclusiveness occurs when everyone knows and believes that everyone regardless of color, age, gender, ability belongs. The Monitoring Committee invites the conference to go deeper, to next level, which is cultural competence. CORR monitored 10 presentations and sessions yesterday. Opening Dragnet presentation, Laity address, Report of the Visioning Table, “Nothing But Nets”, Together for Tomorrow, Council on Finance and Administration, Mission Announcement, Global Climate Change Task Force, Camps and Conferences, and New Church Development 38 participants – Asian – 2, Black – 8, Hispanic – 1, White – 27, Laity – 22, Clergy – 16, Male – 21, Female – 17, Youth – 1, Young Adult – 3, Adult – 31, Older Adult – 3 “Please let us know if our reporting was not accurate. We celebrate the participation of the youth and young adults, but also note that our body membership is aging gracefully. We want to pay more attention to parts of the body as they make themselves known. In this way, we will become a more vital body of Christ.” ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver welcomed Kaitlyn Johnson, from Gardiner, ME President of CCYM and member of the Board of Laity, to sit at the table with him, and help preside. Larry Peacock gave the 2nd singing bowl (bell) to BOOM in thanks for all of the work that they do. Ernest Belisle co-Chair, received the gift with thanks. ORDER OF THE DAY - Fay Flanary, the Secretary of Global Ministry, introduced Jasmine Johnson a student of a Black College. Jasmine is a junior from Dillard College, New Orleans. She is a sports medicine trainer, working toward a degree in physical therapy, and plans to pursue additional degrees in sports therapy. Jasmine brought greetings from Cynthia Green Johnson assistant Director of Black College Fund. She spoke about her childhood diagnosis of scoliosis and the death of her grandmother. Both her church in Texas and Scripture were resources of strength. She recalled the passage from Philippians 4:13. She always wanted to go to Dillard, and now her goal is to graduate with honors. The Black College Fund has been a resource to help her. The New England Annual Conference gave 100% to the Black College Fund in 2007. Jasmine presented a plaque of thanks to Bishop Weaver and encouraged the New England Conference to continue its giving to the Black College Fund. Jasmine also offered a word about the situation in New Orleans and at Dillard. Bishop Weaver led us in prayer for Dillard. CONFERENCE STATISTICIAN - Joy Mueller, Conference Statistician, reported on church statistics. A recent Pew study shows there is a lot of movement of adults from one church to another. She asked those who have joined the church since 1994 to stand. There is a consistently declining membership. About ¼ people have left the faith tradition of their childhood. 44% are moving from one Protestant denomination to another. Joy asked those who did not grow up in the United Methodist tradition, to raise their hands. About 65% of the US population (72% of UM) do not have children under 18 living at home. There has been a decrease of the number of youth and children enrolled in Sunday School and youth programs, which is tied to the previous statistic. Only the Tri-State district has an overall worship increase; average worship attendance is decreasing. Yet although it’s continuing to decrease, the amount of decrease is getting to be less. More adults are attending Sunday school. Average weekly pledges have increased. There has been increased participation in mission trips, both the number of trips and of people participating on trips, and an increased amount of spending on Mission (over and above material aid, Together for Tomorrow and Mission Shares).

30 GENERAL AND JURISDICTIONAL CONFERENCES DELEGATION – Bonnie Marden and delegates made the presentation. A total of 996 delegates were at General Conference from around the world. The New England Conference delegates divided among 3 microphones and read a script, sharing about their experiences of General Conference. Delegates from New England represent an incredibly diverse group. Some of the policies set at General Conference were mentioned. The Africa University Choir was celebrated, as we observe the 40th anniversary of the dissolution of the Central Jurisdiction. Many constitutional amendments from GC will come before the Annual Conference in 2009. Martin McLee thanked everyone for the e-mails and voicemails offering prayers; he asked for continued prayers, especially as we the delegates head to the Jurisdictional Conference. The delegates decided to endorse both Aida Irizarry Fernandez and Linda Campbell Marshall as Episcopal nominees, and invited the body to also endorse them. Every Annual Conference has the opportunity to nominate one or more persons to be put forward at Jurisdictional Conference for bishop. ENDORSEMENT OF EPISCOPAL NOMINEES – Ralph Oduor outlined the process which is based on Policies and Procedures found in the Pre-Conference Book, as follows: Two nominees, namely, Linda Campbell-Marshall and Aida Irizarry-Fernandez are listed in the Pre-Conference Book, with brief bios. Nominations may also be made from the floor prior to voting. If you are eligible to vote for nominees, you should have one green, one yellow, and one red ballot. The ballots may be secured by giving your name to the ballot clerk in the lobby. If your name is not on the list of those to receive a ballot, and you believe you are entitled to one, you must see the Conference Secretary. Eligibility to be nominated: Any Elder in full connection may be nominated. Eligibility to vote: Lay: 1. Each lay member of Annual Conference or the alternate, if the member is unable to be here, as well as each equalization member, and; Clergy: 2. Any clergy member including Local Pastors under appointment may vote. 3. Only those within the bar of the Annual Conference may vote (i.e. the entire chapel floor. The balcony would be outside the bar.) Bishop Weaver also explained the Jurisdictional Election of nominees, making it clear that they are nominees rather than candidates. Bishop Weaver called for nominations from the floor. There were none. Ralph Oduor continued to detail the Balloting Process: “You may make your selection for the ballots according to the following: Decide which two nominees you wish to vote for. Select your first preferred (number one) nominee and circle the letter to the left of that name on the green ballot, which is worth 5 points. Stand and hold your card up until an usher has collected your ballot Be seated then select your second preferred nominee and circle the letter to the left of that name on the yellow ballot which is worth 3 points. Stand and hold your card up until an usher has collected your ballot. Since there only two nominees, instructions for the RED ballot were not needed because voting ended with the yellow ballot Several questions were answered by Bishop Weaver and by Ralph Oduor. Stephanie Anderson asked that “Episcopal candidacy” be explained Bishop Weaver said that Episcopal nominees are offerings to the Jurisdictional Conference of persons that an Annual Conference believes have the gifts and graces to serve as bishops. Randall Sherry asked if only one of the two persons before us may be nominated? Bishop Weaver answered that the decision comes through a combination of points on the ballot and the percentage of people who vote for a candidate. According to our

31 procedures, a nominee must have 25% of people vote for them on first or second ballot, plus a ranking according to number of points. Ralph Oduor said that because we have only two nominees, our rules state we can only send forth up to two nominees. Dwight asked how it would occur that no nominees were sent forth. Bishop Weaver stated that if a lot of names were added to first ballot, it would be possible for no one to receive 25% of the vote Nizzi Digan asked if the two delegates will be given a chance to speak, and what is the advantage or disadvantage of sending one versus two delegates, and if we as a Conference are intentional about diversity, what are the needs we should address in the Council of Bishops? Ralph Oduor stated that no speeches are permitted by the Rules. Bonnie Marden said it’s difficult to predict what will happen at Jurisdictional Conference and urged we trust the Jurisdictional Conference to discern among the nominees presented. Bishop Weaver gave some background about the current ethnic and gender make- up of the Council of Bishops. Ralph stated that Green cards are worth 5 points; Yellow cards are worth 3 points. Sarah Woodward maker of a motion to suspend the rules withdrew it after some floor discussion. There was no objection from the body, therefore the motion was removed. Mike Davis asked, "how does a delegate not support either candidate?" Bishop Weaver said to write in the word “none” Allen Ewing Merrill asked, "can we circle same name on both cards?" Ralph answered “yes.” Bishop Weaver led us in prayer before the balloting. Balloting using the green ballots proceeded as instructed above. Usher/tellers collected the completed ballots. Balloting using the yellow ballots proceeded as instructed above. Usher/tellers collected the completed ballots. ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver welcomed Phil Viall, RIM District Lay Leader and a member of the Board of Laity, to sit at the table with him, and to help preside. A WITNESS TO CONSCIENCE - Scott Campbell, Don Rudalevige, We Chang, Susan Morrison representing the Reconciling Ministry Network and the Board of Church and Society, introduced RS-214, a resolution for conversation and dialogue without a formal vote. It sought to address the inequality about human sexuality in the Book of Discipline. They said they are seeking input on a proposal to create a new statement on human sexuality. They asked the body to meet in groups of 4, for about 5 minutes, to talk about what is important to include in this statement, and then write down 1 or 2 sentences. There will be a chance to share these written statements. No vote will be taken, but an opportunity to offer your input. Next year we will have the opportunity to review what comes out of the process. There were many questions following the breakout time. Bishop Weaver spoke in support of the process. He said there are faithful people who have different perspectives on the issue of homosexuality. “I came out of the process at General Conference believing that parliamentary procedure is not where we are as a church – we need to do some listening. I see this as closer to Holy Conferencing than parliamentary procedure sometimes is.” Dave Abbott said “I support Holy Conferencing, but schedule-wise where will this put us – will this put us at risk of not hearing other issues fully?” Bishop Weaver answered that it would be hard to determine. All written statements may be given to Wanda Stahl.

32 UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS - We Chang for the Board of Church and Society moved adoption of RS-208, concerning undocumented immigrants. He invited Santos Escobar to the podium. Santos Escobar spoke about many factors that cause people to immigrate to this country. The principles on which this country is founded, mercy and justice, have been changed lately. He spoke also of the recent raids in New Bedford. “It’s very difficult to see the situations of people being arrested and suffering. I love this country, but it is difficult to see the changing treatment of immigrants. There is a new law allowing police officers to search for documents of immigrants. Immigrants have been persecuted and exploited. We as a church should play a more open role to help these people. There are thousands of people who are going through this agony. Our UM Church is a church that always fights for justice. If we openly do justice in other things, I invite you to open yourselves to do justice here. We can pray for this reality, we can be advocates and we can write letters to our lawmakers.” There was a lot of conversation on the issue of undocumented immigrants. There were attempted amendments, and some friendly amendments allowed. Bishop Weaver led the body in Prayer in hymn “Spirit of the Living God.” PERSONAL PRIVILEGE by Santos Escobar – The principles of which this country was formed have changed; Immigration rights and privileges. “I love this country because there are a lot of benefits for my family.” There is a law that grants the police the right to search immigrants for documents. “Our people have been persecuted.” The UMC always fights for justice. “Open your ears to hear the cry of our people.” There was another riot in Newport, RI and 50 persons were arrested. Some were working, and some just shopping for families. There are 2-5 children in those families. He urged the body to take action and help these people; write to our governments and seek Justice. “It’s Time to Take Action” After a vote on call of the question prevailed by the necessary margin, RS-208 as amended was adopted. Ralph Oduor made some announcements and said we would convene on Sunday at 8:00 AM. Grace was sung by a member of Mt. Bellingham UMC, Chelsea, MA.

We are committed to providing quality care for children ages 8 weeks to 12 years. We provide transportation for the families to the center, home from the center as well as pick up at local schools and drop off back to their homes. Our transportation program is in jeopardy. WE have two old school buses and a fifteen-passenger van. When the buses are in for repair and/or maintenance we use the van. With the age of the buses this is a frequent occurrence. Insurance companies are becoming reluctant to insure these vans for this use and it is evident that ours must be replaced. When either bus is unavailable, we will be late picking up the children making the parents late for work or not be able to pick them up at all.

Through providing a safe place with caring relationships, structured activities, educational support and opportunities for service, leadership or team work; there is development of self-confidence and self-esteem, and a positive, healthy outlook on life. Joyful Harvest is geographically located in the center of the Saco Bay Cluster. Many individuals from several UM churches support Joyful Harvest with on going donations or volunteer time. However, the United Methodist Church in Biddeford closed in the mid 90’s before our center started. This left a large void in this community; (the Biddeford UMC was only 5 blocks from our current location). This leaves two strong fundamental churches and a Roman Catholic cathedral (in study for closure) the only churches in walking distance to this community where many do not have their own transportation. We continue to seek ways to meet the spiritual needs of the community in hopes that we will build the support to develop a congregation some day. The Navigators Metro Mission $38,185 Rev.

Jesus even identified himself with an immigrant, probably an undocumented one if it applies to our time, when said, “When I was a stranger, you welcomed me.” (Matt 25:35) The Book of Resolution of United Methodist Church urges the government of United States as well as other governments to address the issue of immigration with a sense of compassion including to “ensure protection of basic human rights of immigrants and refugees, such as right to an education, adequate health care, due process and redress of law, protection against social and economic

54 exploitation, the right to a cultural and social identity, and access to the social and economic life of the nation whether in documented or undocumented status” (Book of Resolution 265.(e)) It further calls the United Methodist Church and local churches “to seek ways to welcome, assist, and empower the refugee, immigrant, visitors, and undocumented person in their neighborhood, and to denounce the persecution of the sojourner in the U.S. as prejudicial and racist; [and] to request the General Board of Church and Society to work for public policy that is hospitable to visitors in the United States in every step of entry and visit to the U.S." (2004 Book of Resolutions, "Refugees, Immigrants, and Visitors to the United States of America," ¶119) As people of God and United Methodists, we are deeply concerned about growing hostility against undocumented immigrants in our society. We reject the current ‘enforcement only’ policy as it denies human dignity of undocumented immigrants and breaks their families and lives apart. Deepening prejudice and racial hatred against immigrants is undermining the spirit of community and turning neighbors into strangers. Discriminatory legislations against undocumented immigrants and those who support them are criminalizing those who are practicing the sacred principle of compassion and justice. Immigration is not a social problem that needs to be dealt with rules and regulations. It is a complex global phenomenon that has human faces. It needs to be approached with human hearts and moral mandate. Before people are illegal immigrants, they are human beings created according to God’s likeness. Before people are undocumented, they are all documented in God’s heart. Undocumented immigrants are not the dangers to be addressed but the lives to be embraced and welcomed. Therefore, Be It Resolved that 1. We, United Methodists in New England Conference reaffirm the sacred dignity and rights of undocumented immigrants as God’s beloved and renew our solidarity with them 2. We call President and Congress to reform our immigration system with paths for undocumented immigrants toward citizenship 3. We call both federal and local governments to immediately suspend the enforcement of current policy and deportation until immigration reform is complete 4. We call our local governments and legislators to immediately suspend any policy or legislation that criminalizes and discriminates undocumented immigrants and those who shelter and support them until immigration reform is complete 5. We call New England Conference and local congregations to support those service providers, pastors and others, who choose not to cooperate with regulations that would require identifying or denying services to undocumented persons 6. We call New England Conference to educate the congregations about the Sanctuary Movement and to encourage local churches to offer sanctuary to individuals and families whose lives are shattered and families are divided by the threat of deportation. 7. We call Conference Secretary to send this resolution to the governors of six states in New England and the leadership of state legislatures by August 1, 2008.

Bentum) (Adopted after amendment on Sunday Morning, June 15, 2008) WHEREAS, Natural Church Development research has shown that Needs-Oriented Evangelism is one of the eight essential qualities of healthy churches; WHEREAS, the majority of churches in the New England Annual Conference do not have a strong evangelism emphasis and/or ministry; THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The New England Annual Conference mandate that all local churches make evangelism a high priority by considering implementation of the following activities; 1.

68 17. Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and official administration (¶¶604.4, 605.6)? Let me extend a personal expression of thanksgiving to the Superintendents who serve on the cabinet, as well as those in the past who have responded to this question. Superintendents take no joy in responding to this question but we acknowledge that truth, confession and prayerful discernment of the question provide an opportunity for spiritual and personal growth. Before we begin this time of holy conversation I would ask that if you are comfortable reach out and touch a colleague on the shoulder, arm or hand so that we may pray together. Let us pray. Creator God, we come before you in a time of openness to your Holy Spirit and with a willingness to learn from the places where we have hurt one another or not heard one another. Guide our hands, as well as voices and hearts for the restoring of justice and the building of your Kingdom. Amen Take a moment to look around, check out the people next to you, across from you, even behind you; friends and strangers, active and retired, male and female, United Methodists and other denominations, local pastors, deacons and elders. It is important to see who is in the house, and who is not; by our membership in the annual conference we approach and engage one another as colleagues and equals in this house. I am no historian, or expert on Wesley or the Methodist movement, but as I recall members of class meetings were often asked; “How is it with your soul?” It makes sense to me that a similar question might be posed before the “class meeting” of the clergy gathered at annual conference. Not to stretch a metaphor too far, but isn’t that who we are? Are we not the class meeting, the covenant group of the New England Conference? We are not alone, there are covenant accountability groups in East Ohio and East Zimbabwe, in Western Kentucky and West Angola, seeking to hold themselves accountable to one another and the call of Christ in their lives; they ask and struggle, just as we do, with similar concerns and issues. Therefore, it is within that framework that we are accountable to one another in covenant and through this lens that we seek to answer the question: Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and official administration? On a micro level, we are not all blameless. Since we last met there have been formal and informal complaints filed against clergy that have been cared for through the Disciplinary and supervisory process. These complaints have been handled in a confidential and prayerful manner and we give thanks for the movement of the Holy Spirit in process of mediation and the accomplishment of just resolution. There have been a variety of people that have contributed to this process which begins with the Bishop, and may as discerned include the Cabinet, the Board of Ordained Ministry, the Response Team, Conference Counsel, Conference Consultants and outside resources. This conference is blessed to have a wealth of resources that work for the good and healing of the body. On a macro level, that for which we all have some level of culpability there are two concerns; plagiarism and privilege. As Superintendents we raise them as a matter of awareness and personal experience, and in hopeful expectation that as we work, play and live into the beloved community that we might be proactive in thought, word and deed. In the last year, three District Committees on Ordained Ministry either discontinued or developed covenants of accountability with candidates for ministry who have plagiarized. A number of Superintendents who have worshiped in churches have heard sermons taken from books, magazines, and the internet which have not stood the test of source acknowledgment. In an age where it is as simple as typing in “John 3:16” and getting 1,000 sermons there is growing temptation to shortcut the process of exegesis, prayer and community connection. We can debate what “plagiarism” is and the distinction between community and proprietary thought, but the simple truth is, as brothers and sisters, we know when we have not given our all to proclaiming the Good News. Just as Bonhoeffer spoke of “cheap grace” the folks in the pew know “cheap sermons.” The mantle placed upon us for engaging the word of God for the community of God is a heavy one. When we use other people’s work, and covertly try to preach it is our own, we violate of the sacred trust of our office and calling. The folk in the pew wonder what we believe, they question our spiritual integrity, and it gives them pause to question the relevance of the Word of God in their lives. As evangelists, pastors, and spiritual leaders, we must be authentic in our living and our preaching. We must authentically, and with intention engage in our preaching; scripture, experience, tradition and reason for the glory of God and the Kingdom of Christ. Privilege takes its form in many ways but the Superintendents wish to focus on three. The privilege of appointment, the privilege of status and the privilege of race. As churches move from full to part time and struggle to remain faithful to mission and ministry, there is a growing privilege of appointment; that large is better than small; suburban is better than rural or urban; east is better than west. We have churches that are growing and churches that are living into changing demographics and population loss; but that doesn’t mean that one is more important or more significant than

69 the other. Dare I say, among ourselves, there is an unspoken arrogance that 150 in worship is better than 15, or one church is better than three? The practice of ministry is the practice ministry, however it is configured and wherever it may be; so the question as we move forward in covenant accountability is: How do we honor each other in our settings, as well as call ourselves accountable around “church class.” Over the last year Superintendents have heard from local pastors, retired pastors, those on incapacity, leave of absence, extension ministry and other appointments a concern around the privilege of status, or perhaps better said a growing sense of disconnection. The Superintendents recognize that we need to hold ourselves accountable to this concern as it reflects our connectional community. Ordination and appointed ministry does not set clergy apart from one another but binds us together. We are members of the same church, the same class meeting, the same covenant group regardless of our status; to exclude a group from covenant accountability and fellowship based on “status” is another form of class-ism. In a recent gathering of clergy it was noted by a retired pastor that it appeared that being part of the “connection” has become optional. The question that begs to be asked is “Have we lost our capacity to acknowledge one another as called colleagues of Jesus Christ?” If we are to have an impact on our local churches, we need to model, speak and live as the covenant community and not isolated individuals spread across the conference. And then there is the privilege of race. We affirm, as leaders of the New England Conference, that one of our critical issues is the continued expression of diversity and the end to institutional and individual racism. It saddens us that “blame” and not “transformation” is the operative expression of this injustice. We continue to find fault, excuses and reasons for allowing racism to exist and white privilege to prosper. We superintendents who are white acknowledge that we have not done all that we could to educate and prepare congregations for appointments of ethnic pastors. While we remind congregations that the appointment system bridges race, gender and age, many congregations still do not expect that a person of color will be appointed to their church. Similarly, few white pastors, as the spiritual leaders of the church, have prepared, taught, or engaged their congregations in conversation about racism or white privilege. White pastors still depend on their brothers and sisters of color to “keep them informed when we are being racist.” We are long overdue, as God’s beloved community to proactively embrace a diverse community, with diverse gifts, and diverse cultural experiences. Do we stand blameless in our efforts of dismantling racism? Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and official administration? No. Are we perfect; no. Are we hopeless; no. Thanks be to God that grounded in prayer, honesty and confession we are able to call one another into accountability. We hold before us the vision and blessing of the beloved community, of honest grace, of covenant accountably, of connectional collegial relationships, and the Kingdom of God. May God have mercy on us and strengthen us for this journey lest it not be in vain. 18. Who constitute: a) The Committee on Investigation (¶2703.2)?

109 2008 CONFERENCE REPORTS

AFRICA PLANNING COMMITTEE (Previously known as Africa Task Force) Our Covenant with West Angola is Alive and Well In January, Bishop Peter Weaver led a team of eight people who visited The West Angola Conference. The trip was not without challenges. Thank God for Dot Hollenbeck, the Administrative Assistant to the Bishop, who did not give up the fight when we were faced with visa problems and nearly had to cancel the trip. After 21 hours in flight and an overnight stop in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Bishop Gaspar Domingos met us at the Luanda, Angola airport and whisked us through the customs in less than 30 minutes – only to be delayed for over three hours at the baggage claim, waiting for our luggage! But, we weren’t the only ones waiting. As we exited the airport, we were welcomed outside by a choir of both women and men, who had waited in the heat for more than three hours but greeted us joyfully with African songs and lively spirits. It was a moving experience, one that words cannot describe. We felt like celebrities! Although too numerous to count, some highlights included: • Meeting with the Governor of Luanda, Job Capapinha, who told us how the country was struggling, but rebuilding with hope, after coming out of a bitter civil war that destroyed the infrastructure. He stressed the key partnership between the church and the government in the rebuilding process. • Meeting with Mr. Mencia Donrosa, the President of the Council of Christian Church in Luanda. He explained how all the churches were working hard to educate the people about their voting rights and to pray for peace during the elections that will take place this September. Recognizing what is happening in Kenya and Zimbabwe, let us join our prayers that the election process in Angola will be met with peace and hope. • Touring the new Methodist University, which includes eight floors of classrooms and facilities. The government pays the teachers’ salaries at the University an example of the partnerships being forged between government and The United Methodist Church.

• A day of deep sharing with Bishop G. Domingos, conference workers, and many of the pastors at the conference office. Pastors and program staff shared their moving stories about going without salaries for many months, lack of transport to visit their churches and parishioners, and children dropping out of school because they cannot pay tuitions. • During the visit to the conference center, we were shown pictures of some of the churches and the projects that needed financial help, and in the days following we visited some of these places and projects, including: • Sao Paulo – formerly an orphanage during the war, now a school and social program teaching vocational subjects like cooking, design, and information technology to more than 520 students in two shifts. • Bom Jesus, which is translated to “Good Jesus”, where the church has built a clinic and pharmacy for the community. The clinic is ready for operation and only waiting for paperwork and clearance from the Ministry of Health. • Caxito (pron. Kashito). We saw some projects and educational ministries at this church that needed help in the areas of carpentry, cooking, and sewing. • A fishing project at Barra Dande. This is a wonderful project that is bringing together the community, The United Methodist Church, and the government. Adopt a Pastor Program: Our Bishop, Peter Weaver, was able to handover a check worth $27,000 and some change of which $8,000 was for the “Adopt a Pastor Program”, which was contributed by some of our churches. On behalf of The Africa Task Force, I would like to thank all of the churches that donated

110 contributions towards this program. However, in discussion with the West Angola Bishop, we learned that it would be more effective for churches in our New England Conference to “adopt a church” and have communication and relationship between the two churches, rather than adopting a pastor. Those who are interested may contact me at 978-897-2211. More information on the trip and on the Angola Covenant may be found in future issues of Spirit NET, as well as available online at www.neumc.org/angola.

Yours in the Service of the Lord, Abiot M. Moyo, Chairman

NICARAGUA COVENANT

During our 2007 Annual Conference, a resolution was passed for expansion of partners in ministry and support within the Nicaragua Covenant. It is with joy and thanksgiving that we present both our longstanding and expanded areas of program support for 2008. LA IGLESIA DE CRISTO Pastor Pablo Tellez, President ¾ Education: Support for 13 teachers in seven primary schools as well as technical scholarships for ten students. ¾ Nutrition/Lunch Program: Children receive a nutritious meal in the community (barrio) of Las Flores where 75+ children per day are served. ¾ Self-sufficiency Programs for Women: Two sewing programs and one craft program to teach women a trade in the communities of Managua and Nandasmo. EVANGELICAL METHODIST CHURCH Pastor Elmer Zavala, President ¾ Nutrition/Lunch Programs: Two programs in the barrios of Carlos Marxx and Santa Teresa serve meals to 100 children per day. ¾ Medical: The Amanacer Mobile Health Clinic visits some of the poorest EMC communities four times per year. NITCA Marcia Gomez, Director Rosa Capella, International Relations ¾ Education: Scholarships are provided for 37 high school, technical, and university students in the impoverished barrio of Los Laureles Sur. AMANECER MOBILE HEALTH CLINIC Jairo Lezama, Director ¾ Medical: The AMHC is a nondenominational program serving 72 barrios throughout Nicaragua, each four times per year. Medical care and medications are provided for free to communities with no other access to health care. Two nutrition/lunch programs will be initiated in the barrios of Las Cruces and Las Mercedes III. MATERIAL AID: Our container of almost 400 boxes of material aid arrived in Managua the first week in January. This was no doubt a time of celebration. Please continue collecting, and don’t forget to include $15 per box for shipping. Thank you for your many expressions of faith, generosity, and loving kindness in support of this partnership. It is the extraordinary spirit of the people of Nicaragua and New England that has sustained the Nicaragua Covenant for so many years. As a result of your prayers and your efforts, hope has prevailed and lives have been blessed.

2007 continued to challenge CFA’s responsibility to oversee the financial and administrative functions of the Conference. We are cautiously optimistic that the financial instability of our Conference in the last several years appears to have turned more stable. 2007 saw a modification in the number of apportioned mission share funds as well as other modifications to pension and medical funding. With these modifications came concern as to the affects on funding and thus caused CFA to monitor income levels even closer throughout the year. We are pleased to report that these modifications appear to have met acceptable results. CFA depends immensely on the advice and council of our Conference Treasurer and Director of Administrative Ministries, the Rev. Charles Carnahan. The ability to provide discounts to local churches by the use of ACH (Automatic Clearing House) to forward funds to the Conference, enhancements to banking relations, and in general, bringing the New England Conference up to more current operating systems are some of the results of Rev. Carnahan’s recommendations. Further, CFA approved a review of all administrative operating systems of the Conference to insure that we are being good stewards of the time and talent of our dedicated staff, and to insure that appropriate procedures are in place to protect the resources available to us. The results of this review will be received by CFA in 2008. Oversight of Mission Share Reviews continues to be a responsibility of CFA. While the administration of the application, review of the information/need, and dialog with the local church is the responsibility of the District, it is CFA’s task to make final approval. Churches who have been granted relief for 2008 should have been notified through their District and will be reported at the June session. CFA is reviewing current processes in an attempt to clarify previous practices. Responsible financial planning continues to challenge CFA as it attempts to balance basic expense support for the mission and ministry of the conference with what is believed to be achievable income from Mission Shares. Significant changes to the apportioned bottom line have taken place in the last several years. It is the goal of CFA to maintain minimal expense increases until it feels fully confident that consistent income is demonstrated. CFA reviewed RS-216 that was referred to it by the Annual Conference of 2007 and has responded to it. CFA, through a referral at the Annual Conference of 2006, reviewed the possibility of using a tithe as part of our apportionment formula and has provided a response. Both of these responses appear in other documents, As we conclude this quadrennium, CFA will have changes to its membership and its leadership. Taking a personal moment, I thank those who have served their maximum two four- year terms, those who felt the need to resign during their term, and those who will continue to serve this unique aspect of the Conference. If you are not serving on another board or agency receiving funding through the conference budget, and you feel you might make a contribution to the financial and administrative ministries of our conference, please contact Linda Reiber-Pike, chair of the Conference Committee on Lay Leadership. Lastly, I wish to extend a grateful thank you and commendation to Charles Carnahan and his capable staff for their faithful service to our conference.

COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AMERICAN AWARENESS

The Committee on Native American Ministries has had a very good year. We are thankful to all of those persons that donated for the work we are about. This year we were able to fund several works in mission to the Native Community. Some of these include: the Nuweetooun School in Rhode Island, books were purchased for the education of all people and placed in churches and libraries around the conference. Scholarships were given at Camp Mechuwana Bibles were purchased for the Micmac people in Maine. Many classes were given by Pat Parent, and Oliver Blackfeather Supererant continues his work with teaching in schools and churches and is active in the leadership in the Native Community. There are many people spreading the love of God and the understanding of Native people, we would be pleased to hear from you and if there are any needs in the community you are in. The North East Jurisdiction has been helped in their programming as well. The work continues with the aging, prisoners, students in higher education and .leadership training. We thank you for your prayers and financial support.

COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY

The Commission on Archives and History enjoys a close cooperation of the New England United Methodist Historical Society in carrying out its work for the Annual Conference. The fall meeting of both organizations took place in Newburyport, Massachusetts in October. Held at the People's United Methodist Church, the day included a program at Newburyport's Old South Meeting House (now the First Presbyterian Church), with a visit to the grave of Reverend George Whitfield located in the basement of the church. I invite anyone in the congregations of our Annual Conference to become members of the Society. Both groups will meet in November to tour the Conference Archives located at the Boston School of Theology. In May of last year I was able to represent the New England Annual Conference at the Northeastern Jurisdiction meeting of the Commission on Archives and History. It was held in Cambridge, Maryland, where five United Methodist Churches flourish. An all-day trip for the ninety participants included visits to the Harriet Tubman Museum, the Metropolitan UMC in Princess Anne (built on an old slave auction site), lunch at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (once the Delaware Conference Academy), tour Deal Island and the Joshua Thomas Chapel, and visit Furnace Town. In all, we visited five churches tied to the history of Methodism. At last year's Annual Conference awards were presented to recognize local church history publications. In all, seven entries were received, with Our Church Heritage (UMC of Westford, MA), The History of Methodism in Northeastern Connecticut, United In Service (Milan Community UMC, NH), and East Bucksport UMC 150th Celebration (Maine) receiving special recognition. The Commission plans to hold another awards program for published histories in the year 2012. Publications made between January 2007 and December 2011 will be considered. Churches in our Conference are encouraged to develop histories about their churches, or some aspect of their congregations. Help is available from the General Commission on Archives and History of the UMC, P. O. Box 127, Madison, NJ 07940.

COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE COMPENSATION

This year’s proposal to bring the 2009 base salary to $35,350 achieves our goal of bringing the base to 55% of the top 25 salaries in the Conference, based on salary projections for the year 2009, and an average annual increase of 3.8%, which is in keeping with prevailing contextual salary increases. During the past year, the Commission was able to reduce expenses by making use of technology, so the Commission met face-to-face only twice in the past year. Other meetings were by teleconference. And with the introduction of "fillable" electronic forms we have been able to reduce expenses for paper and postage, which meant that more dollars were available for grants. All applications in 2007 were submitted electronically. We expect that this trend will continue.

2007 Grant Distributions Of the $185,000 2007 ECC budget, $178, 450 was expended. Of that amount, 99% was expended for grants and pension payments associated with those salaries. Funds were distributed as follows:

District No District Name Grant Amounts Percent of All Grants 1 Northern Maine $25,142 17% 2 Mid Maine $12, 816 9.07% 3 New Hampshire $5625 3.9% 4 Tri-State $21850 15.4% 5 CT/WMA $9,455 6.69% 6 Central Massachusetts $13,012 9.7% 7 Metro Boston Hope $21,509 15.23% 8 RISEM $30,082 21.3% Total $139,491 Pension Payments $37,259

In 2006 we introduced electronic application forms, which have provided more accuracy and greater uniformity in submissions. We will also continue to host Listening Sessions/Learning Center during Annual Conference, since these sessions have helped to improve communication with congregations.

Seeking help from the Commission: Questions about the process, the format of applications or guidelines and suggestions may be addressed to any of the members of the Commission.

114 BOARD OF LAITY/CONFERENCE LAY LEADER

It is extremely difficult to compress all of the many accomplishments and efforts by the local church laity and lay members of the various committees, task forces and other appointed positions within the allocated space of this report. More accurately, it is impossible. It is with this understanding and concern that we give honor and thanks to all of those many gifted, committed and spiritually motivated laity in the local churches. Although your efforts may not be specifically highlighted in this or other reports, we recognize your value and equal importance for doing the Lord’s work. We have consistently focused our work on the Vision, Mission and Critical Issues of the New England Annual Conference. They are: Vision: “Transformed by the Holy Spirit, united in trust, we will respond to God’s call to proclaim Christ boldly to the world.” Mission: “Our mission as the New England Conference is to equip, connect and support local, regional and global ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ and to serve all in His name.” The Critical Issues are: Spiritual Life, Evangelism and Church Growth, Area Diversity, Equipping Leadership, and Current Apportionment system. The aforementioned is addressed through our practices, development of programs and participation in various committees and taskforces. Some of the Board’s members will share in their separate reports to the Annual Conference. The Hope District hosted the second New England Leadership academy on September 22, 2007. Drs. Molly and James Scott were featured in their presentation of their new, very popular book “Restoring Methodism.” The Scotts are ordained elders in the Arkansas Conference of the United Methodist Church. They have taught in the Doctor of Ministry Programs of Perkins School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Asbury Theological Seminary. They gave outstanding presentations. The workshops received comparable reviews. The workshops were: General Conference: History, Legislative Structure, and 2008 Issues – Rev. Vicki Woods. 21st Century Methodist Youth- Rev. Natalie Wimberly. 21st Century Worship & Music - Mr. Jorge Lockward. Multi-cultural, Multi-ethnic Congregations and SPRC - Rev. Dr. Aida Irizarry-Fernandez. The third successful Leadership Academy was held by the Connecticut-Western Massachusetts District on October 13, 2007. The workshops were: SPRC, Communication Barriers, Lay Leader, Friendly Church, Pastoral Compensation, Natural Church Success, Spiritual Gift and Creative Worship Ideas. We hosted the Northeastern Jurisdiction Conference Lay Leaders at the Boston/Burlington Marriott from October 12 – 14, 2007. Bishop Weaver was highly received during his preaching and teaching to the Lay Leaders. Mr. Jorge Lockward provided energetic and involved Christian music. The Rev. Dr. Aida Irizarry-Fernandez was greatly praised in her role as the Spiritual Leader during the Conference. As a member of the extended cabinet, I attended the Leadership Conference for Extended Cabinets of the United Methodist Church in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina from November 9-11, 2007. Many exciting and provocative workshops and presentations were offered. Several stirring sermons were given. Gil Rendle, Senior Consultant from the Alban Institute presented a paper with a perspective on the current setting and challenge of leadership within the United Methodist Church. He described the United Methodist Church as a managerial system. Additionally, we were given a copy of Rueben Job’s recent book, “Three Simple Rules, A Wesleyan Way of Living.” The rules are: "Do no harm, Do Good, Stay in love with God.” The following are some of the meetings I attend: Clergy Effective Group, Clergy Sexual Misconduct, proposed Laity misconduct, Anti-Racism, Conference Visioning Table, Africa Task Force, Leadership Committee, Racial Harassment Committee, the Boundaries Committee, Conference Lay representative to the Episcopacy Committee, General and Jurisdiction delegate, Jurisdiction Episcopacy Committee, President of the Jurisdiction Lay Leaders and other short –term committees.

115 Each year during the preparation and completion of the Annual Report, I am always personally confronted with the hope and prayer that the stated efforts, meetings, et al were focused in making disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. It may sound trite, but our belief and willingness to follow Jesus Christ is more important than all of the policies, procedures and programs we may develop. In retrospect, this shared belief by the “Claity” of New England has supported my ministry as Conference Lay Leader.

Oscar W. Harrell, Conference Lay Leader

BOARD OF PENSIONS

As its name implies, the Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits is responsible for facilitating the health and welfare of clergy, both active and retired. A significant portion of the pension responsibility is handled through the General Board of Pensions, through its administration of the denomination’s various retirement benefit programs. Because the denomination does not mandate a single health insurance plan for all Annual Conferences, health insurance tends to dominate the attention of the Conference Board. We are aware of the various factors that make providing access to high-quality health insurance to our conference family a challenge. We are happy to report that despite these struggles, health insurance issues have presented us with fewer new challenges in the past year. Still, we recognize that the cost of health insurance creates a financial challenge to all congregations, and are sensitive to desires to keep costs down. Because the design of the Healthflex plan simply spreads actual healthcare costs among all plan participants, the best thing for controlling costs is also the best thing for participants, namely, living as healthfully as possible. Small things, like taking the health risk assessment or adding a brisk walk to one’s daily routine, can add up toward creating a healthier Annual Conference. Here are some highlights of the Conference Board’s business during the past year. • The Board and Cabinet have met to explore issues that arise in the appointment process from the mandatory aspects of health insurance. We anticipate that this dialogue will be an important part of the Board’s work in the coming year • The Board voted to provide a $100 payment incentive for each participant (including spouses) who has a signed form from their physician stating that they have had a wellness exam. • The Conference received a rebate from the General Board, due to our positive experience with healthcare expenses. These funds will be used to help hold the line on the blended rate for health insurance (i.e., the amount billed to local churches for the cost of the insurance) and to help replenish depleted reserves. The Preachers’ Aid Society continues to work closely with the Board of Pensions on issues relating to retirees. We are most thankful for their staff and their excellent, supportive, and creative work. We encourage congregations to celebrate the last Sunday in October as Retired Pastors’ Sunday and to take a special offering for the Preachers’ Aid Society. We are blessed with excellent conference staff in Charles Carnahan and Janis Salesi and their support staff. Their hard work makes our own efforts seem so easy.

VISIONING TABLE

Purpose: The purpose of the Conference Visioning Table is to: ™ Support the local church through the sharing of resources, leadership and gifts around a common table aligned to our vision, mission, and critical issues.

116 The Visioning Table is directly accountable to the Annual Conference, and serves as the connecting point of voluntary collaboration for vision, mission and ministry in the conference. The Visioning Table may make proposals to the Annual Conference and its boards and agencies. Guiding Principles: ™ Recognize the value of bringing together the various ministries of Mission, Administration and Leadership in the Conference and the ministries in the Districts to resource the ministry of the local church which is the central place of ministry. ™ Be dynamic, adaptable, and fluid allowing for structure to follow function as ministry evolves to meet the current needs of the local church as heard at the Visioning Table. ™ Provide support for the local church by connecting resources among the Districts and across the connection. ™ Explore and encourage innovative, open, and diverse communication methods at all levels of the church. The Conference Visioning Table is in its infancy stage with a membership of nearly thirty persons (so far) who are getting to know each other and building a spiritual relationship as the foundation for the work ahead. The team had two meetings on September 28 -29, 2007, February 15 -16, 2008 and a third one planned for April 5- 6, 2008 at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Haverhill MA. Although in its infancy stage, the meetings are structured and focused around the conference five critical cross cutting mission issues. (1) Spiritual Life (2)Area Diversity (3)Evangelism and Church Growth (4) Equipping Leadership (5)Stewardship These five critical cross cutting mission issues represent CVT key leverage focus for supporting, increased and sustained mission and ministry efforts in all our churches across the conference. Such proposed focus has the potential to revitalize and strengthen the membership/structures at the local, district and conference levels. Through our collaboration and brainstorming we have formulated some essential questions around the issues for which we will seek to develop action steps. 9 How can CVT promote Natural Church Development definitions, understandings, and model processes for encouraging each other and nurturing our own passionate spirituality (Local Church as Incubator)? 9 What can we do to de-emphasize structure/ dying to old patterns and adapt structures influenced by more creativity? 9 In what ways could we de-emphasize focus on our church buildings and provide ways for a deeper understanding of stewardship in the church? 9 How do we promote church as powerful force in community, mission and evangelism? Conclusion: The Conference Visioning Table is committed to allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us in discerning God’s will as we collaborate and develop a variety of innovative strategies to support and strengthen the local, district and conference. This focus will enable us to move forward incorporating 21st century mission, ministry and the way we conduct business in our churches.

117 PREACHERS’ AID SOCIETY OF NEW ENGLAND

The year 2007 marked the 175th anniversary of the Preachers’ Aid Society of New England. We celebrated this milestone amid many new ministries and with a wonderful anniversary worship service at the Holy Trinity United Methodist Church in Danvers, Massachusetts. Bishop Weaver was our preacher for the late afternoon service and music was provided by the Boston University School of Theology Seminary Singers. A dinner followed at which we celebrated, among many other things, the publication by our Society of the later writings of one of our beloved retirees, the late Dean Walter G. Muelder. The last month or two of 2007 brought approval from our Board of Directors for a new experimental dental assistance program to be made available in early 2008 for our retired pastors. We have also initiated a part-time visitation program for our retirees in Florida and additional part- time staff for our New England clergy family services program. The movement of several retired pastors and their spouses into Preachers’ Aid provided housing at Wesley Woods in Gilford, New Hampshire was a very special joy. These small homes on the property of the Laconia-Gilford First United Methodist Church, built in cooperation with the New England Deaconess Abundant Life Communities, will be a blessing to our families for many years to come, especially as the housing market in New England remains in turmoil. We have purchased property and secured Planning Board approval for an additional housing community named Jesse Lee Village in Wells, Maine. The first occupants there should be moving in sometime in 2010. Our training programs which we collectively call “Planning for a Lifetime of Ministry” continues to be well received by our pastoral families. We now have a well established program carried out in cooperation with the United Methodist Foundation of New England. In addition, our “Tending the Fire” action/reflection intensive program for active clergy is off to a strong start for its second year with maximum participation. As in the past, there are many strongly established smaller ministries of the Society to our retired and active clergy. We give thanks for them and for the effectiveness with which our staff carries them out. And we give thanks to our many generous donors/supporters who make this ministry and mission possible. Please remember the Society when you consider your giving, will and bequests and planned giving opportunities such as gift annuities. For the past six years Mr. C. Arthur Hughes of Wayland has been President of our Board of Directors. Art will be stepping away from the presiding responsibilities this spring, but will, thankfully, remain a member of our Board. We express our thanks to him for the dedication, creativity and compassion which he provided during these years of leadership. The remaining Board members are equally gracious and generous in their support and guidance for the work of the Society. Finally, words cannot do justice to the exceptional staff and adjunct staff who work with the Preachers’ Aid Society. They are the “hands and feet” of our ministry and, to a person, are talented, committed and faithful in their work for our pastoral families. Lent 2008

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

In the name of Christ what in the world are we doing about the women and the children? Does that sound offensive? Are we so accustomed to “in the name of Christ” being used in a derogatory way that we wince to hear it in a Christian context? I worked in social services for many years helping families, mostly women and children, in a variety of ways. There were the forms, the applications, and the qualifications. Were the families needy enough, sick enough, trying hard enough, deserving enough? We helped many families.

118 They appreciated it and it made a difference for them. However, while I could show them the love of Christ, I could not share about Christ’s love for them or help in the name of Christ. As United Methodist Women we do help in the name of Christ, for Christ’s sake because of Christ’s love for us and for each of God’s children. One does not need to be needy enough, sick enough, trying hard enough or be deserving of God’s love. God loves us all. And a woman doesn’t have to have wealth in resources, position or expertise to study and live the scriptural teachings and to share her love, experience and resources with other children of God. The qualifications to be a United Methodist Woman are to be a woman (or a United Methodist pastor), believe in Christ and want to fulfill the Purpose. “The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.” So, what in the name of Christ are we doing for the women and children of the world? United Methodist Women around the New England Conference are joining women around the world, gathering in groups large and small, to support each other, to study the scriptures, to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Christ’s teachings, to live those teachings by sharing of themselves and their resources with the women, children and youth of the world. All in the name of Christ.

UNITED METHODIST ELDER CARE

Our mission at United Methodist Elder Care is to “provide a community where older persons can live in comfort, with dignity and a sense of purpose.” We strive to maintain this ideal in an environment of ever changing needs, opportunities, obstacles, and challenges. For the past 37 years, Elder Care has strived to provide services to the elder population in a loving, ethical manner that preserves the honor and respect due all human beings and maintains the dignity of the individual. In 2007, Linn Health Care Center embarked on a journey called Culture Change. Culture Change is about developing resident-directed care practices; about creating “communities” within a nursing facility. The culture change movement promotes household living environments in congregate settings where elders and direct care workers are able to express choice in meaningful ways. Linn Health Care Center intends to gradually transform our nursing home culture and environment from an institutional/medical model to a person-centered/regenerative culture through self-study, training, team building, staff empowerment and outreach to families. Through a generous Rhode Island Foundation grant, we have begun our transformation through staff training in the basic principles of LEAP. LEAP is a comprehensive workforce development program that empowers staff, increases retention, and promotes staff-resident relationships through a model of person-centered care. As part of United Methodist Elder Care’s outreach to the community, the staff and residents of Winslow Gardens have made it their mission to spread God’s love, joy and laughter through a Caring Clown Ministry. The Caring Clowns are about God’s sense of humor, giving and receiving God’s love and entering into relationships. They have made visits to adult day care centers, nursing facilities, schools, fire stations, and stop anywhere where they can share the love! Additional outreach to the community includes development of a case management and assessment service as well as inviting the community in to share in our meals program.

120 We are in the third year of our “Adding Life to Years” Comprehensive Capital and Programmatic Campaign. The Trustees’ advocacy to promote United Methodist Elder Care’s mission and the Campaign by reaching out to the legislative community, the church community and the East Providence community at large, deserves recognition. We have been successful in completing the capital projects portion of the campaign and we continue to promote the campaign’s objectives towards generating five-year program support and endowment for our Chaplaincy Program and Affordable Assisted Living Supportive Housing Program. One challenge that we know we will have to face in the next few years is locating a source of replacement funding for the Winslow Gardens’ Rent Supplement Program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Rent Supplement Program provides financial assistance to low-income residents by paying a portion of the rent on behalf of the resident. However, the Rent Supplement contract expires in 2011 and without the government subsidy, continuation of this essential program is questionable. This represents a serious loss. We need your support to establish an endowment to provide rent assistance to elderly in need. During 2007, our Development Director, W. Kathleen Brady, retired. We want to take this opportunity to thank her for eleven years of dedicated service to United Methodist Elder Care. She did a wonderful job with fundraising efforts for this organization, which included raising money through the New England Conference. She will be sorely missed. We appreciate the continual support of our mission from the local churches and the Conference. Thank you to all who express their support of the Centers through Golden Cross and other donations. Your $8,510 in Golden Cross dollars during 2007, funded bed reserves for hospitalized residents of Linn Health Care Center, and provided subsidies for personal care, housekeeping, and meal services for Retirement and Assisted Living residents. It has proven to be a valuable and essential service, one that is not often provided by our counterparts in the nursing home industry. We request that the Conference declare the first Sunday in May of 2009 as Golden Cross Sunday with offerings received to be used to assist residents of the three retirement/health care agencies within this Conference.

BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY

The Book of Discipline sets three overall goals for the ministry of the conference church and society committee (paragraph 682, 1002-1004): 1. Challenge the Conference to be just in how it operates; 2. Work with churches to help them develop responsible social justice ministries; 3. Enable our conference to address the underlying systematic justice issues Regarding the first goal, we try to monitor, evaluate, and challenge the institutional practices to be more just and fair by participating in the life of the conference and working with other agencies of the conference such as the Cabinet, Board of Ordained Ministry, Resourcing Team and etc. To carry out the other two goals, we continue to structure our work through the ministries of “Designated Passion” We have nine areas of designated passion. Each ministry is led by one or two members of the committee, who are responsible for organizing and carrying out its ministry. The following is the list of passions: Addictions and Prevention Recovery Team – Philip McClintock- works on the issue of addiction/prevention and offers training workshops and healing and recovery services in the local church Economic Justice/Affordable Housing – Gary Richard – works on the issue of economic justice, especially on affordable housing

121 Health Care Justice – Evelyn Johnson Moore- works for universal health care for all both within the states of New England Conference and at the federal level HIV/AIDS- Donna Costa- works on the issue of global HIV/AIDS, especially on United Methodist Global AIDS fund Labor Justice/Workers’ Right – Laurel Scott- advocates for workers’ right and the labor justice Mental Illness/ Homelessness – Pam Brown- brings awareness to the issue of mental illness in the local churches and advocates for the right of the mentally ill Middle East Justice/ Divestment – Bill Aldrich- works on the issue of just peace in Palestine-Israeli relation Reconciling Ministry – Marion Grant – works on challenging the conference on the issue of inclusiveness, especially on the issue of sexual orientation Climate Change Task Force – Valerie Bell – works on implementing the Climate Change Resolution passed in 2007 annual conference Anyone who is interested in any of the above areas of justice ministry is welcome to join one or more of these passionate ministries. In 2007, the conference was blessed to have Rev. Michael Clark as our new Peace with Justice Coordinator and Valerie Bell as Environmental Justice Coordinator. Rev. Clark has been in the front of making just peace both in our nation and in the world throughout his ministry. Valerie Bell is a member of UMC who has been teaching and leading her community in fighting global climate change. The conference will grow in these important ministries through their faithful and effective leadership in coming years. Willard Robinson continued to be our liaison to General Board of Church and Society. Willard has continued his work on teaching Social Principle in local churches. Hearing the outcry of people who are suffering because of injustice and oppression and working to bring justice in our church and in our world is not an option but a calling for all Christians including United Methodists. We invite all in the New England Conference to be the voice for the voiceless, the power for the powerless, and the hope for the hopeless.

COMMISSION ON RELIGION AND RACE

The mission of the Commission on Religion and Race is to assist the Annual Conference in fulfilling its purpose. That statement is found in The Book of Discipline (2004-Par. 601): “…to make disciples for Jesus Christ by equipping its local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church; all to the glory of God.” The Commission has another mandate as an agency of the Annual Conference (Par. 604) “…each annual conference shall act in all respects in harmony with the policy of the United Methodist Church with respect to elimination of discrimination.” In regard to the Annual Conference, the Discipline tells the Church that, “Attention shall be given to inclusiveness.” (Par. 605.3) In the section on responsibilities of Connectional Ministries (Par. 607.5, 6) we find these words, “… developing and strengthening ethnic ministries, including ethnic local churches and concerns; providing monitoring functions to ensure that the church is consistent with its stated values.” The Commission on Religion and Race is an Agency of the Annual Conference. One of the responsibilities of the Commission is to assist the conference in maintaining the connectional relationship of the local church, district, and conference with the general agency; in this case, the General Commission on Religion and Race. The annual conference is charged with “monitoring to ensure inclusiveness-racial, gender, age, and people with disabilities-in the annual conference.” (Par. 609 & 609.1)

122 It is required by the Discipline (2004-Par. 642), that each Annual Conference shall have a Commission on Religion and Race (CORR). Our conference has had a commission since the body was first mandated for the national, jurisdictional, conference, and local church levels at the 1972 General Conference. Our NE Annual Conference and it predecessor conferences’ commissions have been faithful in providing leadership in some form through the years for nearly all of the 16 responsibilities outlined in the Discipline. In spite of the efforts of the CORR, it is unfortunate for the Annual Conference and the CORR that the current conference leadership “climate” has not been as supportive of the CORR as in previous years. It appears that the area of diversity has become less important. As a result, the Commission feels strongly that its work has been disregarded as its leadership struggles to maintain a passion for the ministry to which we are called. With these and other important concerns in mind, we make the following requests: 1. That the reports of the Annual Conference agencies be given priority in the time allowed for presentations on the floor of the conference session. (Par. 605.4) 2. That each District Superintendent accept responsibility for having a district director of religion and race who would be a member of the commission. (Par. 642.2). 3. That the commission shall have a minimum of twelve non ex-officio members. (Par. 642.2) We ask that these members be placed in classes. 4. That the annual conference leadership assist the commission in fulfilling the requirement of having at least one joint session per year with representatives of other conference boards and agencies (Par. 642.3e). We give thanks to God for each of you who has a heart for the ministry of Religion and Race and invite anyone who is interested in working with us or who would like to learn more to contact one of the members and/or volunteer through the conference committee on leadership. We value the vision of everyone! The list of members is found in the front of the conference journal. This ministry is urgent and ever continuing, and reminds us all, that “Diversity is a Gift of God.”

Faithfully yours, Yong Ja Kim

ANTI-RACISM STEERING COMMITTEE

This group was formed a few years ago in order to provide coordination and oversight throughout our conference structure in the ongoing work of dismantling racism and white privilege. Represented among our members are persons from the Board of Laity, Religion and Race, Board of Ordained Ministry, Conference Cabinet and Staff, and other leadership. We meet regularly in person and by telephone conference. Most recently, two significant areas of concern have headed our agenda: cross racial/cross cultural appointments (CC/CR), and anti-racism training for conference leadership (lay and clergy). Our Conference Religion and Race Commission has done work in the CC/CR matter and we support their efforts and hope to work with the Cabinet to improve our resourcing and support in this critical area. We also are planning more regular anti-racism training events for Cabinet, BOM, BOL, conference staff, district committees on ministry, and leadership of conference level boards and agencies. Members: Ernest Belisle, Maria Coleman, Eric Dupee, Lisa Fagerstrom, Aida Fernandez, Oscar Harrell, Yong Ja Kim, Wendell Luke, Bonnie Marden, Jim McPhee, Jung Sun Oh, Don Rudalevige, Vicki Woods.

123 STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE RESPONSE AND INTERVENTION TEAM

The purpose of the steering committee is to coordinate, implement and oversee the work of the Response & Intervention Team and to implement strategies and policies in the area of prevention and education. The Steering Committee is composed of representatives from the Cabinet, Board of Ordained Ministry, Board of Laity, Parish Consultant Team, Bishop’s Assistant, Communications Director, Conference Chancellor (attorney), Response & Intervention Team, and Survivors. During this past year the Steering Committee has addressed the following areas: • Revising the Manual for Responding to Clergy Sexual Misconduct. • Updating the conference policy on Clergy Sexual Ethics. The final revision awaits General Conference rulings. • Organizing a task force to develop a lay misconduct policy for the conference • Updating the local church brochure on “How to Receive Help in the Event of Sexual Misconduct in the Church” As David Baird stepped down from this Steering Committee, we are deeply appreciative for the time, energy, and expertise he has shared within this committee. We are thankful that he continues to be involved in the direct work.

GLOBAL AIDS COMMITTEE

Heartened by the action of the 2007 Annual Conference session to suspend the rules and receive a special offering for the Global Aids fund, the committee celebrated the receipt of more than $3,000 and acknowledged that much work remained to be done. Meeting in the summer of 2007, our committee established guidelines for grants to ministries that serve people with HIV/AIDS within the geographic boundaries of the New England Annual Conference. From the 25% of funds donated to the Global AIDS Fund in 2006, the committee granted more than $600 to the Afia Center, based at the Mathewson Street UMC, Providence, RI, and operated by Family Services of Rhode Island. In the fall of 2007, the committee made special efforts to provide churches with resources to plan worship services and other events to remember World AIDS Day, on December 1, 2007. We began our “Spread an Epidemic of Giving” Campaign in February 2008. The purpose of the project is to reach our goal to have at least $1 being contributed for each member of all the United Methodist Churches in the New England Annual Conference. At the end of 2007, about $18,000 had been donated to the Global AIDS Fund from churches and individuals in our conference. To reach our goal, an additional $77,000 is needed. Steps include: • Thanking the individuals and congregations who have already contributed; • Encouraging donors to spread the word to lay and clergy colleagues and challenging them to receive an offering or hold a special event by the end of 2008; • Publishing articles in Catalyst and on the conference website with information, liturgical resources and statistics; • Promoting special events, such as the Black Church Week of Prayer, Women and HIV Awareness Month, National HIV Testing Day, etc. • Working with Cape Cod UMC’s on an Epidemic of Giving campaign for summer 2008; and

124 • Sharing “It Worked for Us” stories. We hope to report at the June 2008 Annual Conference that this Epidemic of Giving has resulted in a substantial increase of contributions to the Global AIDS Fund through May, 2008. We will need a few good circuit riders and other word-spreaders to bring the news of the Global AIDS Fund to all corners of the New England Annual Conference, so that we can reach and perhaps surpass our goal of $97,000 by Dec. 31, 2008.

Respectfully submitted by NEAC Global AIDS Committee, Co-conveners Donna Costa and Lester Bennington, and members: Leigh Dry and Marion Grant

RECONCILING MINISTRY COMMITTEE

The Reconciling Ministries Committee celebrates that 31 United Methodist Churches in our annual conference are reconciling congregations. Among these, Lebanon UMC, Lebanon, NH and Bethany First, Roslindale, MA voted to become reconciling congregations in 2007. The Reconciling Ministries Committee hosted a gathering on March 24, 2007 at The United Parish of Auburndale. The event, Holy Hope: Committing to the Future of an Inclusive UMC, included presentations by panelists Troy Plummer, Executive Director of Reconciling Ministries Network; Kathryn Johnson, Executive Director of Methodist Federation for Social Action; Gil Caldwell, United Methodists of Color for a Fully Inclusive Church; Cathy Knight, Executive Director of the Church within a Church Movement; and Diane DeLap, Affirmation. The Rev. Martin D. McLee delivered the keynote address. At Annual Conference 2007, the Reconciling Ministries Essay Award was given to Karen Hatch, a Senior at Danvers High School and a member of Holy Trinity UMC, Danvers, MA. Her essay, “My Vision of a Fully-Inclusive United Methodist Church.” was distributed to clergy and lay delegates. At each of the 4 quarterly meetings, a report was received on the activities of the Retired Reconciling Clergy group in our annual conference, which has been a model for retirees in other annual conferences. A Reconciling Worship service will be held early Friday morning at this year's Annual Conference; rainbow stoles will be sold; and a workshop, Continuing the Faithful Witness of Reconciling in the New Quadrennia, will be facilitated by members of the Reconciling Ministries Committee.

UNITED METHODIST MEN

It has been several years since there has been any semblance of a Conference United Methodist Men’s organization. That is soon to change. There is lots of exciting men’s ministries in many of our churches throughout the New England Conference. In addition, there are several chartered groups as well as many interested in doing so. Others want to engage in exciting Christian ministry. Over the next several months there will be a concerted effort on the part of several men to organize a conference organization for men in New England. The new organization will be structured in a way that will empower men to engage in ministry for Spiritual growth, Evangelism and Mission (EMS). We want men’s ministry to encourage Evangelism Mission and Spiritual growth in the local church. There will be district and conference men’s gatherings that will feature hands on mission projects as well as exciting training opportunities. We will endeavor to uplift existing UMC ministries such as Lay Speaking, Upper Room UMCOR, and Walk to Emmaus as well as expand our cooperative efforts with the Society of St. Andrew.

125 Please become part of our effort as we engage men in Christ’s work in the local church, New England and the world. Please visit our New England Conference United Methodist Men’s website at www.neumm.org The General Commission United Methodist Men’s website is www.gcumm.org You may call 207-882-6592 for additional information.

DISABILITIES COMMITTEE

“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf unstopped; Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.” Isaiah 35:5-6a (NRSV) The Committee on Disability Concerns would like to thank the Lay Leadership Committee for their help in getting members this year. By Discipline, we still need people with mental disabilities. Most of our work concentrated on Annual Conference in our only meeting prior to this report. The Committee feels although the Annual Conference parking issue was addressed that it was not resolved as it reoccurred last year. Apparently, the Gordon College staff were not aware of the change we agreed to in session and upheld rules they previously knew. This is being discussed with ex-officio member Bonnie Marden, our Conference Planning Team liaison. We need to increase our sensitivity to the delegates. The type and location of housing depends on each delegate’s requirements; workshops should be accessible to the handicapped. Having workshops buildings only accessible by stairs and rooming delegates in wheelchairs in buildings on the hill are not practical. There has been an on-going issue about delegates in the back not being able to be seen by those presiding. Some of these are wheelchair bound and might be able to move forward in front of the stage. Signage has also been put out reserving seating for the disabled over the last couple years and a significant number are not aware of this. As people come up to use these seats and wheelchairs roll forward, we will have more seating capacity available in the pews to be used. This will decrease the number in back. Improved communication of our services offered is the only answer. The large screen helps the majority of visually handicapped people. However, delegates who are totally blind still needs to be addressed. The speed with which individuals can go through the line and the ease in accessing the meals makes box lunches the committee’s preference. The Committee has recommended to Sessions that there be more box lunches. The Committee would love to get a sign language interpreter every session. Having individual listening devices and volunteers to help the sight impaired understand what is happening at services and sessions. We recommend a change in the customary church service by either serving communion to the disabled at their seat or help them come forward, whichever they prefer. Our concern is that some may not be able to easily do so and remain in their seat. The Conference may inadvertently be hindering the full participation of some delegates whenever they are asked to move in any service. As your church is a part of the conference, we will survey how well your church buildings meet the needs of the disabled upon request. What you do with our findings is up to you. While there have been no requests to date, we are anxiously awaiting hearing from churches in the conference on this. We hope some day to do every church. Did you know the Board of Trustees has a Parsonage Accessibility Improvement Fund with $100,000 according to the 2004 Conference Journal? Did you know some groups will charge little or nothing to look at how to make your church accessible hoping for business later?

126 Many organizations that will help you reach the handicapped can be found by clicking on “Church Resources” at www.neumc.org and choosing “Disability Resources.” Thanks to the Disabilities Task Force for this. We will be adding more to it. Did your church remember its pledge last year in the resolution we passed to help the disabled? We should renew this challenge with ourselves yearly! Although our title is ‘conference,’ we serve all levels of the church. By Discipline, we are to help you become more aware of how to meet the needs of congregants with disabilities at all levels and be a resource for help in your programs. We are looking at all disabilities simultaneously and have much work ahead that will only be possible with time, effort, and your input. Thank you very for your help and we look forward to working with you.

Respectfully Submitted, Michael McShane

BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY

The Board of Ordained Ministry is committed to serving our Lord Jesus Christ through the New England Annual Conference. We continue to work with a Co-chair structure for the full board and all of our major committees. This year we accepted the resignation of Board Co-chair Wesley Palmer. We thank Wesley for his faithful leadership and visioning. Bishop Weaver appointed Lynn McCracken to Co-chair the Board with Ernest Belisle. We continue to work with the Cabinet to develop an evaluation tool for Transformational Pastoral Leadership. The evaluation was used across the Conference in the past year. We received feedback from many churches regarding the length of the evaluation and what was described as the subjectivity of the document. We met with the Bishop and the Cabinet in February and agreed to evaluate and work on the document, and to develop a process for intervention when a member is identified as ineffective. The Entrance Committee is working to analyze and make changes in the examination process to bring it into line with transformational pastoral leadership. New reference forms, to be completed by District Superintendents, for candidates have been developed. We continue to wrestle with the issue of decreasing numbers of full time appointments in New England. There are some individuals who have passed the Board exam but have been unable to received full time appointments, therefore they cannot be commissioned. If they cannot be commissioned then they are to continue reporting to their District Committees on Ordained Ministry for annual review. If after three years they still do not have an appointment, they must begin the process over again. It was noted that some of our candidates who did pass the exam have received appointments in other annual conferences. The Board continues to focus on dismantling racism. We have a committee that leads us through anti-racism/white privilege workshops each time the Board meets. They have provided a depth of insight about the issue through books and other resources. In 2008 the Board will face a transition as the new quadrennium begins. Bishop Weaver in consultation with the Board Co-chairs will make appointments to the Board. We appreciate the leadership of Bishop Weaver and his willingness to work with us. We are grateful for the many gifts that our Registrar, Susan Evans, brings to the Board. We look forward to our shared ministry in the new quadrennium of the New England Annual Conference.

SPIRITUAL FORMATION INITIATIVE “O taste and see that the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:8 “Taste and See” is a wonderful theme for the work of the Spiritual Formation Initiative this past year. “Taste and See” is the name of the retreat experience that provided the content for the “Retreat in a Box” resources that we distributed to each district superintendent at annual conference to be used by churches on their districts. Each ordinand received a box as well. Through this resource and our other efforts we hope that folks in the New England Annual Conference will find renewing ways to taste and see that the Lord is good. This year, we have continued to spread the word about spiritual formation resources through brochures, a breakfast at the Annual Conference session in June, and the conference website. With our prayers and presence, we support the ministries of Rolling Ridge and the Tending the Fire program of the Preachers’ Aid Society. With our time and talents, in addition to the “Retreat in a Box”, we have sponsored the Clergy Spiritual Formation retreat and the Bishop’s Day on Passionate Spirituality (with a number of our members leading workshops), both in March. For 2008-2009, we plan to offer or are exploring the following: • Five-Day Academy for Spiritual Formation, October 26-31 at Marie Joseph Spiritual Center in Biddeford Pool, ME. This year’s theme is Passionate Spirituality: Global Context, Bold Witness. Our faculty members are Valerie Bridgman Davis and Juan Bek. • Mentoring support for active clergy. • Retreat Leaders’ training • Resourcing youth spiritual formation If you have ideas, comments, and questions about our work, and/or would like to become involved, please contact Larry Peacock ([email protected] - 978-682-8815) or Wanda Stahl ([email protected] - 978-682-7676 x. 221). We are seeking to broaden our membership! Folks who have been part of our work this past year include: Yoo Yun Cho-Chang, Susan Ellery, Cheryln Gates, Cynthia Good, Don Hegeman, Seok Hwan Hong, Sam Johnson, Cathy MacGovern, Susan MacKenzie, Larry Peacock, Joyce Ringleb, and Wanda Stahl.

CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

The Conference Congregational Development Committee is the board charged with coordinating and resourcing the development and growth of the congregations of the New England Conference. This is a huge effort involving almost every aspect of our Conference, so the Committee’s work is primarily focused through its sub-committees: ¾ New Church Committee ¾ Local Church Transformation Committee ¾ Urban Ministries Committee ¾ Town & Country Ministries Committee We also collaborate with our related Office of Congregational Development and Parish Consulting Network. A continuing focus of our work is our annual New England School of Congregational Development. In 2007 our theme was “E3: Empower, Equip, Evangelize.” We gathered in Portland ME with hundreds of church leaders from throughout our Conference, and it has been gratifying to see the fruits of greater ministry that this time of learning and inspiration has produced in those that participated. In 2008, our school will be held in the Springfield MA area with the theme “Walk on Water.” We are looking forward to hearing keynotes from Paul Nixon (author of “I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church”), preaching from Safiya Fosua, and Bible study led by Gwen Purushotham. Information on other plenary presentations, dozens of workshops, and registration options will be available in June.

128 This year we are transitioning out two key leaders in our Congregational Development teams. Ed Deyton has served for the past several years as chair of the Congregational Development Committee. Ed’s careful leadership and advocacy has guided us through several key transitions, and he will be missed. Additionally, Hailani Chan-Williams is stepping out of his role as chair of the New Church Committee at this Annual Conference. Hailani has made a profound contribution to our Conference’s new churches, and we send him with our prayers and blessings as he continues ministry in a new region. Our leaders make a difference as they so freely share their God-given gifts with our congregations, so we offer here our many thanks to Ed, Hailani, and all of you who have shared your time and gifts through congregational development ministries.

DIRECTOR OF CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Congregational Development is a holistic approach to the development and growth of a congregation’s ministries, participation and impact on its community and world. Merging the studies of missions, evangelism, leadership, discipleship, and organizational development, Congregational Development seeks to extend the Gospel of Christ by supporting the work of congregations of Christians in their core tasks of making more and better disciples and having a greater and deeper impact on the world. My work in Congregational Development is organized into three areas, depending on the lifecycle of the congregation. Local congregations were not created to last forever, and they move through regular cycles of growth, leveling off, decline, and revitalization. My Office of Congregational Development is concerned with: a. starting new churches, b. supporting and revitalizing existing churches, and c. shepherding churches in decline and crisis. In the recent past, our New England Conference has had a lot more work in shepherding declining churches than it has had in starting new churches. I believe that we are beginning to see some signs of a turn around, but it is too early to tell with any degree of certainty. This year I have been more focused on building our leadership teams related to congregational development. Over the past two years we have greatly expanded our efforts with programs such as Natural Church Development, G2G Churches, District Congregational Development Teams, the Church Viability Assessment Process, and an accelerated New Church Starts effort. We have outgrown our leadership systems, so I have been focused on supporting and expanding our leadership teams. I am deeply grateful for the hundreds of lay and clergy leaders that are involved in our efforts to develop our congregations. Joining our hearts and hands to one another and to God is the only way into a future of vital, growing, powerful ministries that are transforming New England and the world. If you would like more information about how you can get involved in helping your congregations or other congregations in our Conference, please contact me at [email protected]. And thank you.

Curtis Brown URBAN MINISTRY COMMITTEE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Urban Ministry Committee serves as an advocate for urban and inner-city congregations and ministries of the annual conference. Committee members are clergy and lay urban ministry practitioners representing many of the major cities of the annual conference. In the past year the urban ministry committee has organized regional meetings for the purpose of mutual support, planning events and carrying out administrative responsibilities.

129 A significant effort undertaken by the committee since the 2007 annual conference concerns a pilot grant making process which resulted in the distribution of $105,000 in funding to urban congregations and ministries within the conference. The 2007 grant recipients were as follows: Urban Mission Training Project ($6000), Spiral Arts, Portland, ME ($20,000), Worcester Area United Methodist, Worcester, MA ($17,800), Central United Methodist Church, Brockton, MA ($8000), Christ United Methodist Church, Lawrence, MA ($10,000), Mathewson Street United Methodist Church, Providence, RI ($20,000), Open Table UMC, Providence, RI, ($15,000) and Union United Methodist Church, Boston, MA ($9,000). The committee looks forward to receiving requests for proposals for the 2008 urban ministry grant process. Funding will be made available based in the revenue received by the committee from conference investments held in trust for urban ministry. The committee will also be evaluating ministries funded in 2007 for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges related to urban and inner-city congregations and ministry. Urban Committee members Gary Richards and Garvin Warden have continued to represent the annual conference on the Northeast Jurisdiction Urban Network. The Network is currently developing plans for a Fall 2008 jurisdictional gathering of urban ministry practitioners. More information on this event will be provided as it becomes available.

THE INSURANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Insurance Committee of the New England Conference Board of Trustees will have met three (3) times since the last annual conference to monitor the Conference Unit Insurance Plan. For the period 8/1/2007- 7/31/2008, Utica Mutual Insurance Company will be our new primary insurer, providing coverage for Property, General Liability, Crime, Automobile and Excess/Umbrella Liability as well as our Workers’ Compensation coverage that renewed in January 2008. Fred C. Church Insurance of Lowell, MA continues as the Conference’s broker, providing you service on claims, loss prevention, risk management and general insurance questions. Utica Mutual was chosen after an extensive national renewal marketing competition which began in late March 2007 when we learned that Acadia Insurance Company had chosen not to renew the program with the Conference. Acadia’s primary reasons for this decision were catastrophic loss concerns – natural disasters and over the past 5 year experience of claims vs. premiums had been unfavorable and unprofitable for Acadia. They did not feel they could continue as the Conference insurer without major increases in premium and a significant reductions in coverage, neither of which would be an acceptable alternative. The Insurance Committee worked very closely with our broker, Fred C. Church Insurance, to seek the best alternative. Initially, we identified nine insurers as potential candidates. Six of these insurers were eliminated for a variety of reasons – unable to be competitive on premiums, unwilling to offer key coverages such as sexual abuse and molestation, requiring massive amounts of individual church underwriting information which we didn’t have and didn’t want to burden churches with, or unable to provide the high levels of service to which we as a Conference have become accustomed with Acadia. With three finalists (Utica Mutual, Philadelphia Insurance and PACT – the General Conference captive insurance company) Fred C. Church and the Insurance Committee negotiated effectively on the churches behalf. In the end, we selected Utica Mutual because they committed to the lowest premium, the broadest coverages, the best claims and risk management services given their significant presence here in New England and a strong commitment to provide coverage for every Church in the Conference, which was becoming an issue with Acadia. We are very enthusiastic about our new partnership with Utica Mutual and look forward to a long term relationship with them.

130 The average increase to all local churches for the 2007/2008 year was 5.4% compared to 13% and 17% increases that occurred during the past two years. In this coming year, both Utica and Fred C. Church will be working throughout the Conference to improve the accuracy of our replacement values. Utica has a goal of visiting all churches in the Conference this year, to do risk management reviews as well as replacement value appraisals. As an ongoing process, all outstanding claims are reviewed periodically during the year with Fred C. Church and Utica. Also, we will continue to monitor all outstanding claims prior to August 1, 2007 with Acadia Insurance Company. The Insurance Committee continues to monitor local church payments of their insurance billings and challenges every church to make payments on time and in full. The committee thanks all of the churches that paid their premium in full by October 15, 2007 with the 9% discount or enrolled in the Automatic Clearinghouse Account process with a 7% discount through the OAS and Vanco Services, LLC. For the upcoming renewal period, the Insurance Committee with the help of Fred C. Church, our agent, will provide the best coverage and rate possible for the 2008/2009 renewal period. Finally, for more than 12 years, the Conference Unit Insurance Plan has provided economical comprehensive property, general liability, and Director’s/Officers insurance for churches within the New England Conference. During that period, churches of the New England Conference have saved an estimated $15 million in premium costs (compared to individual church purchase of similar coverage) that have been able to be used for direct ministry. The Conference Unit Insurance Plan is an example of our connectional life as a conference and how together, with God’s help, we can do more than we can do separately.

Grace & Peace, Bruce Maxwell, Chairperson

ASSISTANT TO THE BISHOP/DIRECTOR OF CONNECTIONAL MINISTRIES

During a recent week, I convened a meeting concerning anti-racism work in our conference, conducted sessions with two local churches (one as an NCD coach and another concerning pastoral transition), participated in a conference call with the Board of Laity, attended a meeting with Unitarians in Boston, preached at a local church on Sunday morning, traveled to Vermont for a boundaries meeting, and have had more than a dozen telephone calls and meetings in Lawrence concerning budget and conference staff. I understand that few in our conference know what people on the conference staff do, but the above is offered to illustrate the privilege I enjoy to be present in a wide variety of settings. My DCM responsibilities deal with oversight and coordination of programs and ministry of the Annual Conference. As Assistant to the Bishop, I continue to support various aspects of the Bishop’s work. As there were no changes in the Conference Staff “line up” in 2007 (in my areas of responsibility), I want to offer my thanksgiving to God and my heartfelt appreciation to these people who devote so much of their gifts and energies to support local church and conference ministries: 9 Curtis Brown, director of congregational development 9 Jennifer Carpenter, director of Camp Aldersgate 9 Evelyn Johnson-Moore, coordinator of the parish consultants for the conference (our consultants include: Greg Carpenter, Stewart Lanier, Bonnie Marden, and Betsy Waters) 9 Bonnie Marden, choreographer for the annual conference session (among many other ways she serves)

131 9 Rosemary McNulty, is the administrative assistant for four of us (!), cares for the Resource Library of the Conference, and handles many other responsibilities in the conference center in Lawrence 9 Jean and Michael Moore, co-directors of Wanakee United Methodist Center 9 Larry Peacock, director of Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center 9 Wanda Stahl, director of Christian formation 9 Norm Thombs, director of Camp Mechuwana 9 Alexx Wood, director of communications Each of these people is very dedicated to ministry on your behalf. Finally, included in my areas of emphasis during 2007 have been: re-organizing Latino/Hispanic Ministries, re-invigorating anti-racism work, beginning the new Conference Visioning Table, supporting regional youth ministries and Board of Laity “academies”, and coordinating the many other resourcing areas of our conference work. Again, I am grateful to be working with so many gifted people in Christ’s Church.

James T. McPhee

DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FORMATION

I have been heartened during this past year by the number of individuals and churches being more intentional in nurturing the call to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. This has been evidenced, in part, by the number of churches participating in the Natural Church Development process and the seriousness with which many are engaging in this process. In particular, I’ve had the privilege of working with congregations seeking to strengthen their Passionate Spirituality, Gift-Oriented Ministry, and Holistic Small Groups. I have also been blessed by being able to work with clergy in a variety of settings as they seek to strengthen their own spiritual practices, which are the foundation for effective ministry in the name of Jesus Christ. In September of 2007, we were able to offer training for youth leaders in two locations with David Burke. I’m in the process of exploring future options for such training, including some more in-depth models. The work of the Spiritual Formation Initiative (see their report for more detail) in this past year has helped make possible the Bishop’s Day on Passionate Spirituality and the Clergy Spiritual Renewal Retreat. The group also developed and distributed our “Retreat in a Box” resource to local churches and districts for their use. Other conference level commitments have also been part of my work for 2007-08. I continue to support the work of Rolling Ridge through supervision of the executive direction and participation on their Board of Directors. It has been exciting to see that ministry continuing to strengthen and grow. The Transformational Leadership Task Force has been meeting this spring to tighten up the pastoral evaluation process and begin work on a congregational evaluation process and tool. The Conference Visioning Table first came together in September 2007 and has been working on team building and coming to understand its role in conference leadership. In the coming year, I am looking forward to work in the following areas, among others: • Continuing leadership in the worship workshops begun this spring led by conference staff and other leaders • Being part of the leadership team for our fourth Five-Day Academy for Spiritual Formation in October. The theme is Passionate Spirituality: Global Context, Bold Witness. • Resourcing youth leaders in nurturing youth spiritual formation • Continuing work with local churches, clusters, and districts through consultations, workshops and retreats in a variety of areas related to Christian formation I’m appreciative of the many gifts God has given our conference. I pray that in the coming year is that we can continue to mobilize and strengthen these gifts to more faithfully and effectively

132 minister to the needs outside of our church walls as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Respectfully submitted, Wanda J. Stahl

DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

I’ve just wrapped up my first full year as Director of Communications, and it has been a busy year! When I first came to the conference I reviewed our existing communications programs and resources, and I was pleased to find the SpiritNET newspaper and the e-newsletter communications (UMCatalyst and E-Clergy Connection) working well to deliver announcements and stories from around the conference. We’ve continued these media, making some adjustments on style and frequency, but overall they are good channels to keep us connected. I am grateful for the work of Joy Mueller on the e-newsletter editing and distribution, and Bert Whittier on editing and layout of the SpiritNET newspaper, as well as so many of you that submit stories for publication. My goal is to include more voices from around the conference, so I would love to hear from you if you have a story to share or want to do some writing or reporting. I am also continuing the slow but steady work on making the conference web site more useable, informational, and inspirational. Look for more changes there in the coming months! The biggest goals and blessings I’ve experienced in this past year are those that are directly related to helping local churches understand the information and resources that are available, and to help you create and implement simple yet powerful welcoming, outreach and evangelism (dare I say “marketing”?) programs that help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in your communities. I traveled about the conference with Curtis Brown, Wanda Stahl, and other staff for our district workshops we called “Sowing Hope”, and it was a rich time of learning and sharing together. We are currently planning the next round of workshops which will be focused on offering ideas, tools and resources on the theme of “Worship in a New Day”, to follow the Bishop’s District Days on Worship this year. For those of you that attended these sessions in the past we hope to see you again. Please invite others to share in this rich time. And for those of you that haven’t attended before, I invite you to join us! I’ve also been involved in other leadership development activities such as presenting at the School of Congregational Development, the Metro Boston Leadership Academy, and even cluster workshops on topics like church web sites, marketing and outreach, technology in worship, and Igniting Ministries. I love this type of training and engagement, so if your church or cluster has a need please contact me. It is exciting for me to see and experience the wonderful things that are happening in our churches, and to have a role in supporting you and also telling your stories to encourage others. Finally, I would continue to encourage every church to adopt and use the “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors” message whenever and wherever you can in your local church communications. The supporting materials are available at no charge from United Methodist Communications, and it is important that we continue to strive for consistency in our messages. This is one simple but powerful way to do that. It is also important that we continue to strive to be the church that God is calling us to be, and although we may not be quite there yet, I believe we are moving onward toward the goal of truly being a people with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors! These are but a few of the ways I am privileged to serve with you. I welcome your ideas, comments, criticisms, celebrations, and stories. Please let me know how I can continue to serve and support you in living the Gospel and communicating God’s abundant and transforming love to all. Each day I give thanks to God for the opportunity to be engaged in this ministry with all of you.

Alexx Wood, Director of Communications

TREASURER

The Annual Conference and its churches saw the implementation during 2007 of several pieces of legislation passed at the 2006 Annual Conference session Financially, receipts from Mission Shares exceeded 2006 by 3.13% ($278,127). For the fourth straight year, we ended the year in a positive position by keeping expenses inline with actual receipts. With our practice of more closely tying future expenditure levels to past receipt levels, the Council on Finance and Administration has been supportive of the Office of Administrative Ministries efforts to better manage the resources entrusted us by our members and local churches. While it will be necessary to continue to make difficult choices given our limited financial resources, the Annual Conference will continue to seek to be faithful to its mission and ministry. There was a concern that did not materialize, that the move to the direct billing of pastor’s pension and death/disability benefit would result in both a reduction in Mission Share receipts and generate potentially significant levels of pension arrearages. Mission Share receipts increased (when adjusted for direct billing of pensions) and arrearages related to pension billings was more than 50% lower than initially projected. As a total when we added the actual receipts from pension billings to local churches and mission share receipts from local churches, 2007 receipts exceeded 2006 apportioned receipts (which included pension) by more than $1 million. Currently more than 220 churches in the Conference utilize the ACH or EFT mode of payment. These churches are saving more than $500,000 in aggregate that is available for local ministry and world mission. They are also, gaining greater control over their own cash flow. Both of the conferences insurance programs were able to continue the recent trend of providing value for money. The property/liability insurance program’s average increase passed on to the local churches of the Annual Conference in 2007 was 5.4%. When compared with securing similar coverage individually, local churches throughout the conference save in excess of $3.7 million annually in combined premiums, money that is available for local church ministries. While health insurance premium increases within the industry averaged 8% - 10%, the cost passed on to the local churches of the Annual Conference was -1.25% lower than the prior year (for those taking advantage of the ACH payment option, their costs were -11.5% lower). The Office of Administrative Ministries continued its efforts to find new, better, and more efficient ways to perform the administrative ministries of the Annual Conference. With the ever- growing regulatory, financial, and record-keeping requirements of the Conference’s insurance and pension programs, the Office of Administrative Ministries in conjunction with the Conference Council on Finance and Administration engage a consulting firm to assess the needs of the Conference and provide a plan for addressing those needs. The report for the consults was due the first quarter of 2008. Our efforts to better manage the cash flow operations of the Annual Conference, completed over the summer of 2006, along with favorable interest rates resulted in an increase of more than $140,000 in returns on our cash flows. This is additional money that is being used to support ministry and mission of the Annual Conference. Finally, I can confidently report, once again this year, that this Annual Conference is being well served by a dedicated staff of individuals who graciously respond everyday to a myriad of requests for information and assistance out of their sense of Christian witness and calling. I sincerely appreciate the contributions to ministry made by: - Janis Salesi, Conference Benefits Coordinator - Steve Hart, Financial Services Manager - Merry Hoyt, Remittance Specialist - Deborah Cannella, Administrative Assistant - Daniel Sierra, Accounts Payable/Payroll - Thelma Phelan, Benefits Assistant - Marion Grant, Administrative Financial Assistant, Capital Campaign

134 I extend a special word of thanks to the members of the Council on Finance and Administration, Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, Equitable Compensation Committee and Conference Trustees with whom I have the privilege of working, the local church treasurers I have had the opportunity to talk with and meet, and my colleagues in Ministry through out the Conference who have kept and continue to keep me in their prayers.

Charles R. Carnahan, Treasurer/Director Administrative Services/Conference Benefits Officer

TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW

December 2007 marked the halfway point for the seven Pilot Churches who kicked off the Together for Tomorrow Capital Campaign in Mid-2005 with anticipated completion of their campaigns in June 2010. The Block I churches in the Northern Maine and RISEM Districts are just a few months short of that mark, with anticipated completion dates in the Fall of 2010. Overall, with an estimated completion for the whole campaign of May 2011 (with some exceptions), as of November 30, 2007 we were two and a half years, or 42%, into the campaign. Net pledges as of December 31, 2007 amounted to $15,494,983.05, with payments received as of November 30, 2007 in the amount of $5,111,025.40, or 33%. Of the $5.1M received to date, $1.75M has been disbursed back to the local churches as their Local Share, $1.56M has been paid for expenses in running the campaign, and $1.79M has been disbursed to or is being held for the other areas to benefit from the campaign. The breakdown of the $1.79M is as follows: Congregational Development - $394,886 Camps and Retreat Centers - $387,101 Pastoral Retirement Fund - $842,281 Nicaragua Covenant - $ 83,068 West Angola Covenant - $ 83,543 We have heard many wonderful stories from Local Churches as to how their Local Share is being used to promote mission and ministry in their communities and to fund much needed repairs to aging buildings so they can be used more effectively in helping to spread the Gospel and make disciples for Jesus Christ. Additionally, participation in the campaign has helped many local churches have in-depth conversations with their members about faithful stewardship disciplines, resulting in not only a successful local TFT Campaign but increased pledging during their regular stewardship campaigns. As the funds for the other components to benefit from the campaign as listed above continue to come in, we will begin to see the projects dreamed about in the Campaign’s “Case for Support” documents come to fruition. It has already been reported that the Wanakee UM Center in Meredith, NH has built their new shower house; and a portion of The Nicaragua Covenant funds has been used to purchase a medical van that enables medical teams to reach many more communities than previously. A team visited the West Angola Conference in January, and as a result of meetings held during that visit plans for how some of their funds will be used will be forthcoming in the near future. We thank all who have participated in the success of this campaign thus far, and pray that the following statement, which is borrowed from an article from the West Chelmsford UMC featured in the Fall 2007 Together for Tomorrow Newsletter is true for all: “The Together for Tomorrow campaign has helped us to better understand the connectional nature of Methodism, to be better stewards of the bounty we have, and to share that bounty with others. THAT is the true meaning of Together for Tomorrow.”

UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION OF NEW ENGLAND

In 2007-2008, stewardship education/training through the Foundation’s “Faith and Money” ministry has been the primary focus of our efforts. This biblically-based, year-round financial stewardship ministry was developed to help strengthen both personal and congregational stewardship in our local churches. Eight district training events were conducted with a total of 411 participants (including 113 clergy) representing 151 United Methodist churches attending. The feedback on these transformational stewardship workshops has been very positive. Many churches have requested follow-up assistance, and we are helping them develop plans to accomplish their church’s stewardship goals. Phase II of “Faith & Money” will use different delivery models including pilot projects in churches and the deployment of stewardship coaches and mentors. “Faith & Money” is more than just a stewardship education ministry; it is viewed as a theological model that guides the work of the Foundation, serving as a vehicle through which all its services and ministries are delivered. Echoing the words of our Mission Statement, the goal of these services is to “…promote faithful stewardship” in congregations and individual lives. Bonnie Marden was hired as our Development Associate to assist with our “Faith & Money” initiative. The Foundation’s Board of Directors also demonstrated its commitment to stewardship education and development by raising $25,000 through a board appeal to support this ministry. Finally, the Foundation acquired the rights and permission to make available to all churches in the New England Conference a new stewardship resource entitled “Living for Giving” by Bishop Kenneth Carder. This resource, which uses the “Disciple Bible Study” format with video, study guide/workbook and life applications, will be a great complement to the “Faith & Money” ministry. In addition to stewardship education, the Foundation also assists local churches with investing their endowed/reserve funds in socially responsible investment vehicles. The Foundation’s broadly diversified investment portfolio includes international, large cap, mid cap and small capitalization companies with a small holding in emerging markets. We are delighted to report that this strategy has had excellent returns; for example: for the year ended 12-31-07, the Foundation’s Stock Fund has outperformed the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index for the last quarter, 1-year and 3-year periods. Recognizing that our churches desire their investment portfolios to reflect the gospel values and mission of the United Methodist Church, the Foundation adheres to a Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) policy for all its investments by excluding companies involved in the production of addictive products and services (tobacco, alcohol, and gambling industries), and the production of military weapons, as well as avoiding companies that demonstrate poor environmental stewardship or disregard for human rights. An example of our SRI involvement is the decision in 2007 to screen out companies doing business in Sudan that were supporting and profiting from the well-documented campaign of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. Our Foundation is also a leader among our denominational foundations in our efforts to use our proxy votes to consistently encourage companies to adhere to good social principles. Through our proxy voting activity, we join with other like-minded investors to positively impact the governance and ethical behavior of corporations. For these reasons, we believe that the Foundation’s investment offerings are excellent long-term, socially responsible, and financially prudent options for our churches and conference agencies. We express our appreciation and thanks to both our hard-working staff and a gifted Board of Directors, and especially acknowledge the service of the following directors who are leaving the board: Cindy Sroda (treasurer and budget & audit committee chair), Rev. Barbara Cann and Sophia Harrell. Members of the 2007 Board of Directors are: Officers/Committee Chairpersons: David W. Fitts, Board Chair John R. Regier, Board Vice-Chair

The Methodist Episcopal Church founded Gammon Theological Seminary in 1883. Bishop Gilbert Haven and the officers of the Freedmen’s Aid Society had purchased nearly 500 acres of high land in the southern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Gammon initially began as a Department of Theology at Clark University. Through the efforts of Bishop Henry White Warren and the gift of $20,000 for endowment from the Rev. Elijah H. Gammon, a Methodist minister of the Rock River (Illinois) Conference. The enthusiasm of these two men led to the construction of Gammon Hall. The Rev. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield was elected dean, and Gammon School of Theology was officially opened on October 3, 1883. Gammon is the United Methodist member of the consortium of theological schools, known across the world as The Interdenominational Theological Center located in Atlanta, Georgia. We offer a broad curriculum in the scholar-minister tradition and also offers a holistic educational experience that continues to stress scholarship and service. Students prepare for administration and leadership, counseling, teaching and preaching and a range of other spiritual and secular roles, with a blend of scholarship in the classroom and practical experience in the community. The interdisciplinary curriculum integrates theological studies with preparation for the ministry, merging theory with practice to equip the student for scholarship in the academy, service in the parish, and leadership in the community. Degree programs offered are Master of Divinity; Master of Arts in Christian Education; Master of Arts in Church Music; Dual Degrees and Doctor of Theology and Doctor of Ministry with a Specialty In Pastoral Counseling;

DREW UNIVERSITY THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL

Drew Theological School is grateful that the annual conferences continue to send us men and women for the various programs of the school. We are proud of our United Methodist Scholarship that gives full tuition to any United Methodist who has been a member of a UM church for at least two years, has a 3.5 from their undergraduate program and meets our other requirements. Enrollment: Our 560 students come from over 20 countries and across the United States. They are half men and half women, from 23 to 74 in age and in addition to the 70% who are from Methodist traditions they represent many other denominations. We offer the PhD, the DMin, STM, MDiv, MTS degrees and on going offerings for the larger community. More and more students are coming to Drew in their 20’s with real commitments to justice and vital ministries. Rev. Kevin Miller continues to serve as Director of Admissions and can be reached via email at [email protected]. Shalom Initiative: As of January 1, 2008 Drew Theological is the new partner for the United Methodist initiative called “Communities of Shalom”. Often referred to as “shalom zones”, Communities of Shalom is a grass-roots, faith-based network of shalom sites that engage congregations and communities in working together for community development, peace, and wholeness. Starting this summer students will have the opportunity to experience intensive in

138 context learning at sites across the United States. We have recently worked with religious leadership in around Newark to initiate a new program to work toward lessening gang violence in Newark. We have also joined with the religious leadership in Baltimore to creatively address the rising murder rate in that city. Dr. Michael Christensen, who has been Drew’s director of the Doctor of Ministry program, is now serving as the director of this important community based initiative. Beyond developing ministry relationships with churches and community organizations through student internships and training resources, “the Shalom Initiative also lets Drew relate to the General Conference and Annual Conferences of the United Methodist Church with our best foot forward—our social justice and prophetic witness work in the world,” according to Dr. Christensen. Clergy Health and Wholeness Center: Associate Dean Virginia Samuel is working on the creation of an initiative to address the crises in the health of our clergy. The proposed Center for Clergy Health and Wholeness will respond to the precipitous decline in the overall mental, emotional, and especially physical health of active clergy members over the past 25 years. Through programming for clergy, denominational officials and seminary students, ongoing research in the area of clergy health, programs for laity to increase their awareness of the issues, and the facilitation of partnerships between and among judicatories, health professionals and health care systems, the Center will seek to educate and help clergy to adopt better self-care practices. We distributed pedometers at a recent service to encourage our present students to become more aware of there need to get up and move. Rev. Samuel is also working with several annual conferences and leadership in boards and agencies for improved self care and healthy lifestyles for our clergy leadership. Center for Christianities in Global Contexts: The Henry Luce Foundation has given us a grant to establish the Center for Global Christianities, and Dr. Elizabeth Tapia originally from the Philippians is serving as the director. This program seeks to understand what is happening to Christianity globally as well as the various manifestations of the faith that have come to the United States with new immigrant communities. It allows three PhD students to serve as Luce Fellows in relationship to their graduate work in a theological discipline. Seminary Hall Update: Over the past several years the major building of the theological schools has been under construction. Plans are in place to finish the work on Seminary Hall this coming summer. United Methodist Liaison Contact: Rev. Jeff Markay, an elder in the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference, continues to serve as our liaison with the United Methodist Church and its ordination process. He is available to all our United Methodist students from various annual conferences.

METHODIST CONFERENCE HOME, INC. - Rockland, Maine

The mission of Methodist Conference Home is to support older adults and people with disabilities in mid-coast Maine with appropriate services that will enhance their independence and promote self-sufficiency. This mission is firmly rooted in the teachings of Christ and the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church. MCH continues to offer affordable senior housing provided at the Methodist Home, Rankin Center and Stevens House, all in Rockland, Maine. We also manage the Knox Hotel Apartments, a 29 unit subsidized older adult housing facility in Thomaston and the Bartlett Woods Cooperative, 14 duplex cottage units in Rockland. During the year we were able to do some major work at Rankin Center, replacing all of the windows in the building and doing a major upgrade to the building façade and the storefronts in the section that houses the Brown Bag Restaurant. All in all we provide housing for approximately 150 individuals.

139 Our facilities offer independent living apartments along with a program of supportive services that make it possible for individuals to extend that independence for as long as possible. These services include housekeeping, meals, transportation and personal care, among others. Because of state budget deficits we are losing funding for our service program at the Knox Hotel Apartments in the next state fiscal year. The program under which it was funded has been discontinued. The program is currently serving seven individuals. Finding other funding for these services will be a challenge. Our transportation subsidiary, Coastal Trans, continues to grow, although we experienced some serious financial challenges during the past year relating to problems with the state’s Medicaid reimbursement program, unexpectedly high vehicle maintenance costs and the need to deliver services more efficiently. By cutting some operating costs and reducing staff hours we expect to break even in the coming year. Coastal Trans, served 1983 individuals in the three counties we cover, and provided more than 2.1 million passenger miles of transportation. The Meals on Wheels program that we operate in Knox County continues to be in great demand. We deliver approximately 100 meals a day, five days a week to homebound individuals in the county and also serve meals to another 40 individuals at senior meal sites. This program requires a great deal of community support, but the community continues to be generous with that support. One of our major successes in 2007 came in the area of fundraising. We were able to increase giving from individuals, businesses and other local organizations by 50% over 2006. MCH is grateful for the continued support of the New England Annual Conference through the Golden Cross offering, the gifts of churches and individuals, gifts of time given by Board members and other volunteers and the prayers of many throughout the Conference.

140 ROLLING RIDGE RETREAT AND CONFERENCE CENTER

Nearly 5000 adults, youth and children walked the holy grounds or stayed in the gracious manor at Rolling Ridge in 2007. We witnessed a 20 percent increase in participants and revenue as we continue to reach out to more individuals and groups. Rolling Ridge offered 30 programs during the year, including the popular, " A Day Apart for Busy People", our monthly drumming circle, and a new eight-month spiritual formation program called, Drawing Near to God. Oasis - A Spiritual Spa week attracted people from as far away as California. Our fall retreat brought author Linda Douty to Rolling Ridge. Our room set aside for private retreatants has seen increased use by both laity and clergy. We also co-sponsored several programs with other groups that helped us reach a wider audience. Our summer programs for youth- junior and senior high were well attended and we added a new weekend retreat for older elementary students that gave them a taste of the Ridge and for many their first experience of Christian camping. We served the region by hosting the youth leaders training day and youth festival. We communicate our programs and services through weekly emails, twice yearly program books and several newsletters. Weekend retreats are now booked almost a year in advance as more people have discovered Rolling Ridge. Summer picnics and the swimming pool remain popular with churches and local service organizations. We welcome your calls as we seek to be a place nourishing community and spiritual growth. The Board of Directors this year has taken steps toward redoing the entrance and road into Rolling Ridge and engaging a professional fund development company to conduct a feasibility study as we move toward the Master Plan and the renovation and new facilities at Rolling Ridge. Thank you for your prayers and donations to Rolling Ridge. We are a Conference Advance Special and welcome you gifts. This year we have continued to paint, refurnish and improve the facilities thanks to donations from many. We are grateful for the funds which have come through the Together for Tomorrow campaign and have used them to repair the roof and start the road project. In 2008, we shall celebrate 60 years of service to the church. Someone estimated that nearly a half million youth have had their lives touched by God at Rolling Ridge. We want to celebrate the past and lean into the future with hope and joy. We hope you will join us for our Celebration Weekend, September 19-21. Please continue to hold us in your prayers as we develop programs, improve facilities, move into a development program and offer Christ-like hospitality all.

143 2008 DISTRICT REPORTS

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS

Throughout the Central Massachusetts District, congregations have embraced the vision statement of the New England Conference: “Transformed by the Holy Spirit, we will become united in trust as we boldly proclaim Christ to the world.” In many exciting and Spirit-filled ways, we see congregations being transformed through their offering of radical hospitality, passionate worship, intentional spiritual formation and risk-taking mission and ministry. As individuals and congregations are being transformed, the communities in which they are located are catching a glimpse of the light of Christ. Worship and church school attendance has remained steady. Persons are making first-time confession of faith in Jesus Christ and many are living out their faith in discipleship as they generously offer their prayers, presence, gifts and service. Congregations in the District have partnered with each other and with others in our annual conference to support ministries and mission projects at home and in far of places as Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia. We have reached out to the hungry, the marginalized, the imprisoned and those seeking to know God in Christ Jesus. This past year, a number of congregations participated in the Faith and Money, Financial Stewardship Event as well as the Bishop’s seminar on Stewardship. The events were offered to educate and assist churches by offering practical, biblical-based resources to educate and strengthen both the personal and congregational stewardship of their members. Several congregations have also benefited from the seminars offered by the Conference staff. Thanks to the sacrificial giving of our churches and the faithful financial stewardship of many of the members, several churches continue to increase their support of the Conference through Mission Share payments. There is reason to anticipate growth in this area and vitality in many places as pastors and lay leaders open themselves to new ideas and challenges. We rejoice in the growing number of multicultural congregations in the District. Wesley Church in Worcester continues to be a leader in this area. Other successful efforts are Quinsigamond UMC also in Worcester and Centraville Church in Lowell. Cooperative youth ministry among the churches in Framingham and Wayland are among some of the new efforts in the District. We are also looking forward to the launching of a bold venture in the Greater Lowell area as churches in that cluster seek to support the work of El Buen Pastor UMC as well as to support outreach and community ministry in that city and surrounding towns. With gratitude to God for the gift of Jesus Christ, the laity and clergy of the Central Massachusetts District will continue to grow in grace and bear much fruit.

Ron Wilson, District Superintendent

CONNECTICUT/WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS CELEBRATIONS!

The CWM District has much to be thankful for during the last year of our ministry together. In October 2007, our new District Ministry Team, under the direction of George Button, coordinated our first Leadership Academy which was a huge success with over 110 in attendance. The second Leadership Academy held in the Spring of 2008 was also well received. During the 2007 Charge Conference season, a variety of District Ministry Team representatives made the commitment to travel with me to EVERY charge conference on the district! This outpouring of love and support for all the churches on our district was a powerful

144 witness to our desire to improve connection/communication seeking to vision together where the Lord is leading us. The CWM District is the second largest geographic district in our New England Conference. We now have a Lay Leader for each state in our district: David Bolster for our churches in MA – and David Dunham for our CT churches. January 29, 2008 we celebrated the chartering of a new Korean UM church – CT Central UMC currently located in East Hampton, CT! They had been gathering as a “mission” of the Northeast Jurisdiction since 2004. With this new church, our district total is 68 churches/ 55 charges. (This total includes 6 Federated churches.) During the 2007-2008 appointment year we had 36 full-time appointments, 9 half-time and 8 quarter-time. Pastoral statistics are as follows: 30% of clergy are male, 25% female, 18% persons of color, 82% European-American. As of July 1, 2007 - 36 of our pastors had only been in their appointment 2 years or less, 9 pastors 3-4 years, 5 pastors 5-6 years, 1 pastor 7-8 years, 1 pastor 9-10 years and 3 serving over 16 years (one part-time local pastor and 2 Federated church pastors). On December 15, 2007 we celebrated the birth of the first “Blended Parish” model of ministry in our New England Conference. The United Methodist Churches of Putnam and North Grosvenordale, under this new model of ministry, worship together on Sunday morning in Putnam, continue vital community outreach ministries at both church locations, and celebrate a mid-week service of prayer and praise at North Grosvenordale with attendance double what it was on Sunday morning when they were on their own. How the Lord blesses when we reach out and try new ministry ideas! “Behold, I am about to do a new thing!” (Is. 42:9) We also celebrate George Button - our first Certified Lay Minister (CLM) in this district! George completed the four intensive training modules through GBHEM and has been assigned to work with a mutual ministry team (MMT) in his home church (Hope UMC, Belchertown). He will continue serving as chair of our District Ministry Team sharing his gifts around our district. Congratulations George! We completed Viability/Possibility studies in Bolton, Crystal Lake and Greenfield and will begin studies in the summer of 2008 for Moodus, Great Barrington, Alford-Housatonic. One last celebration to share – I began praying in the Fall of 2007, how to shift to a more intentional model of “spiritual administration and leadership.” Out of that prayer time, I felt led to offer Healing Services every Sunday night during Lent traveling around the district. I received wonderful feedback and saw God’s healing grace poured upon many individuals and churches. I believe the Holy Spirit is at work here through me and all of God’s wonderful partners in ministry on this district. I look forward to seeing what “new thing” the Lord might have waiting for all of us as we journey together in hope seeking to “make disciples for the transformation of the world.”

Together in Ministry, Heidi N. Chamberland

I have been blessed; ¾ by the building of many relationships, ¾ by the witnessing development and growth of great of lay leadership, ¾ by the commitment of so many pastors who kept faithful to their calling even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances, ¾ by the response of several people to God’s call to serve in the ordained ministry, ¾ by the rich theological, cultural, linguistic, racial and pluralistic Hope community, ¾ by the many hard lessons learned, some through pain and tears, others through joy and laughter, many in the companionship of a beloved community, ¾ by the watching churches turn their energy away from the building and focus in ministry,

Yes, very impressive! You get better at it every day.” Revelation 2:19 in The Message.

Love and grace, Aida

MID-MAINE 2008

The Mid-Maine District has had a year of contrasts: There has been good news from many churches, but, as with all the districts, some external factors that have presented challenges to the churches. The challenges common to all our churches on the district have come from the extraordinary rise in oil prices and the large snow fall of this past winter. Both of these challenges have increased the operating costs of our churches at a time when many budgets were already stretched very thin. In addition, the heavy snows of the winter had a negative impact on attendance. The Mid-Maine District churches have responded in creative ways to help deal with the financial issues, but it has definitely put a strain on many of our churches. Because of this strain four churches on the Mid-Maine District have had to go from full time pastoral appointments to part time pastoral appointments. These churches are the Bridgton United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Church of Good Fellowship in Naples, Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Rockland, and Centenary United Methodist Church in Skowhegan. In all of these cases, the move was necessary due to financial constraints and in none of these cases was it from lack of will, spirit, or faith. The Naples and Skowhegan churches in particular are using this change in appointment time as an opportunity to become more effective in mission and ministry. The Mid-Maine District has many smaller attendance churches, but their size does not limit their vision. In community after community, small churches are being creative in reaching out to share the love of Christ with their community. Our smaller churches also take giant steps of faith to increase their outreach to the community. Both the East Pittston and the New Sharon churches are putting on additions to make their churches more “user friendly” and accessible to the community as

146 well as church members. Along with the additions come wonderful visions of ways to touch lives and fulfill the needs of those around the church. The district office will be moving from its location in the district parsonage to the Mission Building at Camp Mechuwana. In a sense this is a home coming as the Maine Conference Office was located their in the past. It has been obvious in the response to missional needs that the Spirit is alive and well. The needs responded to by local church groups have been local, regional national, and also in the wider world. The people of the Mid-Maine District have responded not only with words, not only with financial support, but also with their very selves to the needs of our world.

David Svenson, District Superintendent

NEW HAMPSHIRE DISTRICT

The New Hampshire District churches just continue in their unique and wonderful ways to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. New exciting ministries in the district churches continue to catch the imagination of members as they seek to reach out into their communities and beyond to make a difference in others lives. The Lebanon UMC voted overwhelmingly this last year to become a reconciling congregation. They publicly affirm that all are precious in God’s sight and are striving to be a community of faith where all of God’s children are welcomed and encouraged to participate fully in the life of the church. You will remember that just about 5 years ago the building known as Trinity UMC in Whitefield was condemned. This community of faith was devastated, but not about to abandon the United Methodist witness in their community. They have persevered under the guidance of the Spirit of God and in May their brand new building, known as Trinity UMC, was dedicated to the Glory of God. It is on the same location and is truly a litany of miracles as God provided for their every need along the way. In Contoocook, one member spoke to an individual and invited them to the church. One thing led to another and on Mothers Day 10 African refugees joined the church, only 5 of whom speak any English at all, while another 5 are awaiting warmer weather in order to be baptized in the river before becoming members. This congregation has found creative ways to minister to others in need. They drive to Concord each Sunday to bring these children of God to church, they are teaching them to drive, helping them to find employment, teaching them God’s word in Bible Study and Sunday School, and helping to provide basic household goods for their apartments. The clergy serving in the East Lempster region have organized a team ministry in an effort to re-open the East Lempster Community UMC. All ready some who have never been a member of any church have asked how they can become a part of this vital faith community. It will be fascinating to see what God unfolds in this community. Churches throughout the district have organized and have participated in Volunteer in Mission trips to make a difference in Slidell/New Orleans, LA, Down East Migrant Ministries, in Jacksonville, ME and the United Methodist Economic Ministry in Salem, ME. In the midst of all the exciting ministry that is taking place, though there are concerns that I have about the long term viability of some of our congregations. The Berlin UMC was closed this year and in addition there were seven congregations that “downsized” their pastoral leadership by moving from full-time to part-time, from ½ time to ¼ time or even in some cases from ¼ time to a preaching supply. In the three years that I have served on the district there have been 6 full-time appointments that are no longer available. Our congregations are shrinking and can no longer afford full time ministry. The other concern that I share with you is around the number of aging facilities we are worshiping in. Many of these were built in the 19th century for ministry in a different age. As we

147 continue to stay in these buildings we find ourselves re-aligning the focus of the church into a different direction. Rather that looking out at ways we can be in mission to our community we find ourselves looking inward at all that needs to be done to maintain, preserve and sustain the property we have. I am convinced though that God is moving in our midst. As we continue to remain faithful, pray for wisdom and discernment, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will be led to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

NORTHERN MAINE - 2008 Changes since July 2007.

Vision: Claiming the love of Christ, we will be a people of perpetual Pentecost. I. Description of the Northern Maine District The district encompasses the greater part of eastern and northern Maine. The southern- most churches were in Dixmont, Winterport and Stonington, while the eastern and northern boundaries extend to the Canadian border. The western-most church is the Greenville Junction UMC, in the Mooshead Lake region. The district consists of 65 churches and 48 charges, 15 of which were single-point full-time charges. There were 11 two-point charges. Of the 11, 5 were 2- point full-time charges and 7 were 2-point part-time charges. There were 17 single-point part-time charges. There are, 2 federated churches and two mission stations. Forty-five pastors serve the Northern Maine District: 13 elders, 3 probationary members, 14 local pastors and 4 supply pastors. There were 4 deacons, 2 pastors serving from other annual conferences, 5 pastors from another denomination, and 2 associate members. In terms of gender and ethnic diversity, there were 26 male pastors, 24 female, 4 ethnic men and 4 ethnic women. This year was a very difficult financially for the majority of the churches in Northern Maine Not only was the winter a long and cold one, but at the same time fuel prices rose to unexpected amounts. This led to an increase in snow removal costs as well as higher fuel costs. As a result many churches found themselves in struggling to keep up with their operational costs, including Mission Shares. II. Changes since last year The Monticello UMC continued under the care of the Aroostook County Cluster and the District Committee on Congregational Development. The pastoral team of Pastor Marilyn Rhodin and Paula Lilley was appointed to sport the congregation in their continue progress. This year also saw the dissolution of the Pine Tree United Methodist Ministries. The Cooperative decided to function as separate churches and each of the existing pastors was appointed to the church where s/he was serving as worship leader. In April the closing worship service for the Smyrna Mills UMC was held. The Dover-Foxcroft Church moved from ¾-time status to ¼-time and the Corinna UMC moved from full-time to ½-time. III. Leadership Development Efforts There were a variety of training events offered in the district for lay and for clergy, they included the following: Charge conference training on prayer, regional training on Holy Baptism, technology and worship, clergy gatherings reviewing the book “I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church.” There was also a summit for the Downeast Churches in order to dialogue about the demographic and appointment realities for that region. 16 of 17 churches were represented. A follow-up meeting was held in the spring to continue to dialogue about models of ministry that might serve the pastoral needs of the region. For the second time in five years a Northern Maine pastor was nominated and received the Denman Evangelism award: Ellen Bearisto of Vanceboro UMC. Summary:

148 This was a very difficult year financially for most of the churches, but they continued to demonstrate strong efforts in trying to fulfill their connectional responsibilities. In 2007 42 churches fulfilled 100% of their Mission shares: 65%, for a total Mission Share payment of 78.54% for the Northern Maine District.

RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS (RIM JULY 2007-JUNE 2008)

I am thankful to God for the steadfast faithfulness and love that the people of the RISEM District continue to show in all matters of Gospel. As is typical for any given year there have been places and actions that have challenged the churches as well as places and actions where the church has challenged the culture. Into this tension, we are called by Jesus, into this tension we are called to be a witness to the world, into this tension we demonstrate the relevancy of faith and the body of Christ. Within the district itself we have had major concerns over immigration and gaming. Both Rhode Island and Massachusetts have had significant pressure to engage in casino gambling as a way to balance local and state budgets. So far, citizens of each state have shown their disapproval for these venues; however, as finances tighten, the temptation will grow larger. Thanksgiving to the Massachusetts Council of Churches and the Corridor Cluster as well as the Rhode Island State Council of Churches and the Rhode Island Cluster for their leadership and voice in this area. In New Bedford, MA. and Providence, RI there have been significant immigration raids which have separated young children from the families. While religious leaders have had conversation with government leaders, and concur with those leaders that there needs to be more conversation about immigration on a national level, the cruel punishment of leaving children abandoned by incarcerating their mothers and fathers is not just. Santos Escobar (Vida Abundnate) has provided pastoral care to many of those who have been detained. We have celebrated new buildings: Northside in Brewster completed its addition and Cuttyhunk has undertaken major restorations in the community church. In Rhode Island, Shepherd of the Valley completed its addition, Asbury in Warwick a new parking lot, and East Greenwich the building of a new church! Other celebrations include the moving from ½ time to full time by the Westport Point UMC as well as St. Paul’s in Newport. The newly merged communities of Open Table of Christ in Providence and The River; United Methodist Communities of Faith have completed their first year and are moving forward with new enthusiasm. The District celebrated “Nothing but Nets” by providing scholarships to the event held in Springfield and also raising about $14,000 over the course of the year. Contributions to UMCOR and mission shares also held steady for 2007. RISEM district continues to reach out in the communities it serves with passion and a generous presence. At Annual Conference, Duane Clinker, Santos Escobar, Patricia Miller-Fernandes and Rebecca Mincieli were welcomed as elders in full connection. Phil Viall continues to provide leadership as the District Lay Leader and Kim Whynacht has become the District Director of Lay Speaking as Rebecca Hewitt now assumes the position of Conference Director of Lay Speaking. Several people are in discernment about a call to ministry. We celebrated the faithful ministry of Marion UMC which closed on July 1, 2007. The closing worship service conducted by Pastor Sandra Russell was one of inspiration, witness and thanksgiving. I am hopeful that this upcoming year will provide the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel, as well as the faithful to live boldly in the name and because of Jesus.

Rev. Gary Shaw, District Superintendent

149 TRI-STATE REPORT JUNE 2008

The Tri-State District includes 74 churches in 3 states: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The district covers coastal New Hampshire, the north shore area of Massachusetts, and coastal Maine extending just north of Portland. The churches are in rural, urban, small town, and suburban settings. They are served by full time and part time pastors. Many of our congregations have shown incredible faith, determination and grit as they’ve weathered storms within and without, taken risks for the Gospel, explored new avenues of stewardship and sought to reach their communities with the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. New life and growth is evident in the many building projects around the district. They include completion of an addition at the Church on the Cape in Cape Porpoise, ME, solar panels installed at the York Ogunquit UMC, in York, ME, a new sanctuary at Cressey Road UMC in Gorham, ME, an addition to the fellowship hall at Chebeague Island UMC, Chebeague Island, ME, and a new building in progress for "The Rock" in Plaistow, NH. We are grateful for the many dedicated pastors and laity who have responded to the call to serve the church on the district level. The District Committee on Ministry, Board of Church Location and Building, District Superintendency Committee, Committee on Leadership, Lay Speaking and Mission Share Review Committee have all been active and functioning effectively. Our District Ministry Team has done excellent work around the needs of the district. They will share their findings at church conferences this fall. District events were well attended and received. One highlight was Bishop Peter Weaver's day on the district to lead us in a program around inspiring worship. We appreciate the collegiality and support seen among the clergy and laity. For the second consecutive year, 2006 and 2007, we saw an increase in average church attendance and an increase in the percentage of mission shares paid. Praise God! At church conferences, every church was challenged to support the "Nothing But Nets" campaign. Our district goal was 1,000 nets. At this time, we have far exceeded our goal with almost 4000 nets! Last year, a new church started in Portland seeking to reach young adults. Our Hispanic ministry at Christ UMC, Lawrence, received 40 new members at Easter. God is blessing these ministries. Throughout the district, we see creative ways that churches are seeking to reach out into their communities. God's renewing Spirit is alive in Tri-State. May we continue to pray and support one another as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!

Marjorie Knapp Whitteberry Partner in ministry, homemaker, and campground manager, Marjorie was born in Katonah, NY on August 25, 1926 to Addison Collyer Knapp and Florence May Knapp. After high school Marjorie worked as secretary at the Katonah High School, a typist for Readers Digest, and a bookkeeper. She met Paul Whitteberry at a church social in Boston. After a long- distance letter-writing courtship, they were married in Katonah in March 1954. She and Paul served nine churches in Massachusetts over 37 years. These included Oak Square UMC, Brighton (1953–54), East Natick Community Church (1955–58), Holyoke UMC (1959–63), Pittsfield UMC (1964–67), Somerville UMC (1968–70), North Dighton and Dighton UMC’s (1971–75), Myricks UMC (1976–82), and Somerset UMC (1983- 90). During these many pastorates, Marjorie was a member of the United Methodist Women and taught Sunday School for many years. In 1969, the Whitteberrys bought a 109-acre farm in Middleboro, MA which they eventually developed into Plymouth Rock KOA campground. Marjorie ran the office and store and kept the books. Fifteen years later they sold the campground, which they had made into one of the most successful in New England. After Paul’s retirement in 1990, they moved to Terryville, CT and later to Penney Farms Retirement Community, FL where they lived for 11 years. Marjorie joined the Penney Writer’s Club, and wrote poetry, stories, her family history and her memoirs. Her many interests included bird-watching, gardening, reading, listening to music, crafts, knitting, scrap-booking, genealogy, and working at the Penney thrift shop. Marjorie died on December 9, 2007 at Penney Farms. Two memorial services were held at Penney Memorial Church and Shelton, CT, with burial at Penney Farms Retirement Community Cemetery, the Rev. Orlando Tibbets presiding. Marjorie is survived by her husband of 53 years, the Rev. Paul N. Whitteberry, of Penney Farms; a son, David Whitteberry, of Winter Gardens, FL; two daughters: Susan F. Freesen and her husband Guy of Stanton, VA, and Barbara Zachs and her hus- band Todd of Simsbury, CT.; a sister, Helen Roberts of Shelton, CT; and eight grandchildren.

164 Marion Brown Ziegler Born in Glasgow, Scotland on May 26, 1922, to George and Margaret Brown, Marion and her sister Helen came to the US to join their grand- father who had settled here already. Despite a difficult childhood, Marion thrived in her studies and sports. In her early teens, she met her future husband Wilbur at a church group, and they were married six years later. Wilbur joined the Air Force as a chaplain in World War II, and was stationed in London during the blitz. After the war, they returned to the US, and Wilbur then decided to change his education goal from engineering to ministry. According to her daughter, “she really didn’t understand what she was agreeing to, but she just knew wherever he was gong to be, so was she!” Though she was shy and private by nature, Marion became a fine parsonage hostess, faithfully and affec- tionately supporting her husband as his best friend and most enthusiastic advocate. Marion also had a talent for painting, sewing and costume jewelry making. She especially enjoyed their years on Cape Cod, first at Dennisport and then at Chatham, where she could relax and “be more spontaneous.” After battling cancer three times, and caring for her ailing husband for 12 years until his death, Marion died on September 6, 2007 in Chatham, MA. Her memorial service was held at First UMC, Chatham on September 22, with the Rev. Dr. Clinton E. Parker officiating. Marion is survived by a son, Richard Ziegler, and a daughter, Carol Ziegler of Willow Grove, PA. Marion was predeceased by her husband Wilbur in 2003.

************ HISTORICAL NOTE

In 1796 the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church created the New England Annual Conference. The first session was held September 19, 1797, at the Old Meeting House in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. Bishop Francis Asbury intended to preside but was prevented by illness and had Jesse Lee take his place. Originally the conference included all of the New England states as well as portions of New York and Canada. Reorganization soon removed the latter two geographic areas. Subsequently, the work in Maine (1824) as well as in New Hampshire (1829) and Vermont became strong enough to warrant independent annual conferences. The volume of work and the long distances to travel caused Maine to reorganize in 1848 into the Maine and East Maine Annual Conferences, with the Kennebec River as the dividing line. They remained separate for seventy-five years, merging again into the Maine Annual Conference in 1922. Recognizing the notable Methodist work done in the southern part of New England, the 1840 General Conference divided the Existing New England Conference and created the Providence Annual Conference. This conference was renamed the New England Southern Annual Conference in 1881. After a decade of studying and planning, the New England and New England Southern Annual Conferences were merged at a special convocation held on January 31, 1970, at Wesley United Methodist Church in Worcester, Massachusetts. In the early 1980's merger discussions began for the annual conferences in New England. In 1992 the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference took action that led to a merger of the Maine New Hampshire, and Southern New England Annual Conferences into the New England Annual Conference to include all of New England except Vermont and the western half of Connecticut. Bishop F. Herbert Skeete convened the first session of the new New England Annual Conference on Thursday, June 2, 1994, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

238 Statistician’s Report June 2008

The 2007 statistical reports show the New England Conference had 90,974 members in 527 churches in 8 districts at the end of last year. Recently, the results of a large study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life were published. One of this study’s findings was that there is a significant amount of movement among American adults from one religious group to another. This result is confirmed by our conference statistics. If we look at our collective statistics from the time of the 1994 merger, we can see that 31,632 people joined our churches by Profession of Faith. Nearly half of these are estimated to be youth who joined the church after taking a confirmation class. Another 8,203 people transferred their membership from another denomination and 16,421 transferred churches within the United Methodist Church. In all, this represents 56,256 people who became new members in one of our United Methodist churches in the last 14 years – and of these about 24,000 came from a non United Methodist background - a large number relative to our total membership. Of course, we not only have many new members, but we also have people who were removed from the membership rolls. The chart below compares the members received with the members removed in various categories. Although we record more new members through transfers from other denominations and transfers within United Methodism than we lose, we do not receive enough new members by Profession of Faith to outweigh the number of people who withdraw or die. The result is a consistent decline in membership numbers that has varied between 1% and 3% each year.

Membership Changes: 1994 thru 2007 Members Members Received Removed Profession of Faith 31,632 Withdrawn 41,830 Transfer (Other Denom.) 8,203 5,399 Transfer (UMC) 16,421 13,364 Deaths 22,262

After interviewing 35,000 adults across the United States, the Pew study determined that almost one quarter of American adults have left the faith tradition of their upbringing, either by switching to a different religious group or choosing not to affiliate with a faith tradition at all. This percentage rises to 44% when people who changed from one Protestant denomination to another are included. This means that there are many people who grew up in United Methodist churches but are no longer affiliated. It also means that there are a significant number of United Methodist adults who had a different faith tradition in their childhood. Another statistic from the Pew Study shows that while 65% of the U.S. adult population do not have children living at home, 72% of United Methodists have no children living at home. These statistics, I believe, are connected to trends that we have experienced. A number of our statistics related to young people have shifted dramatically since 1994. While our membership number dropped by 22%, the decrease in the percentage of youth enrolled in Sunday School is more than double that rate – 45% - from 5926 to 2925. The number of children enrolled in Sunday School has been more than cut in half – 17335 to 8248 (52%) as has the number of baptisms – 2815 to 1324 (53%). In addition to numbers about membership, church school, and baptisms, the statistical tables also collect the average worship attendance for each church. 202 churches, 39% of all churches in our conference, increased their average worship attendance in 2007 compared to 2006. This percentage of churches reporting an increase is slightly higher than last year’s. If we look at district-wide worship attendance figures, only one of the eight districts showed an overall increase. The Tri-State District had a collective attendance increase of 1.9%. It is worth noting that Tri-State has had a district worship attendance increase for two years in a row! Looking at the conference as a whole, 32,232 people attended a New England Conference United Methodist church on an “average” Sunday. This number is a 1.6% decrease from 2006, but once again this decrease is smaller than last year’s decrease of 2.0%. These percentage decreases have been successively shrinking in each of the last 5 years, and this year’s is the smallest rate of decline since 2001. These membership and worship attendance statistics as well as studies like the Pew Study are helpful pieces in thinking about how our church has changed and how best to respond to these changes. We know that we have fewer members, less people in church each Sunday, a marked decrease in children and youth, as well as

239 fewer churches. Focusing on membership and worship attendance numbers is needed, but they only tell a piece of the story. When we turn to other statistics, we see several changes in our churches that point to our vitality as a community of faith. The first encouraging sign is that we continue to see more adults coming together to grow in their faith and learn from each other. Last year there was a 4% increase in the adult participation in Sunday School after an 8% increase was posted in 2006. Another important measure of growth in discipleship is peoples’ giving. In 2006, the average weekly pledge for the conference as a whole rose last year from $28.83 to $29.65 – a 2.8% increase. This chart shows the average weekly pledges for 400 churches reporting the amount received in pledges and the number of pledging units for 2007. 15% of our churches, the last two rows together, report an average weekly pledge over $40 per week.

Avg Weekly Number of Percent of Pledge Amount Churches Churches Less than $20 86 22% $20 to 29.99 161 40% $30 to $39.99 91 23% $40 to $49.99 33 8% $50 or more 29 7%

There also continue to be signs of increased participation in mission trips. According to the numbers reported on the statistical tables, both the number of churches participating in Mission Trips (VIM) and the number of people participating went up for the second straight year:

VIM Stats Number of Number of Year Churches People 2005 55 477 2006 71 608 2007 79 654

Finally, another statistic that reflects growth in discipleship is how our churches collectively spend their money. In 2007, our local churches together spent more money on mission than in 2006. Mission is defined for this purpose as the dollars given directly thru the conference office to General Church and Conference Advance Specials and Special Offerings, as well as money sent by local UMW units to the wider UMW, the mission dollars spent directly by churches for local missions such as shelters and soup kitchens, and money sent directly to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Heifer International. These numbers do not include our mission share spending or Together for Tomorrow; they also do not include the collections of material aid that is so often done in our churches. Our 527 local churches spent $2.78 Million last year helping others. This is an 18% increase in one year from the 2006 total of $2.36 Million. This increase is despite fewer churches and fewer people! If we look back to 1995, when the mission spending was $1.35 Million, local churches together have more than doubled the amount spent on mission! I’d like to close with a quote from Rev. Taylor Burton-Edwards, Director of Worship Resources for the United Methodist Board of Discipleship. In responding to results of the Pew Study, Rev. Burton-Edwards offered these comments that I think capture a helpful perspective when looking at our statistics. He said that, “The study’s data (Pew Study) is useful but shouldn’t be the focus in measuring the church’s vitality. It takes more than numbers, he said, to address the core question of whether the church is following Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” He goes on to say, “We’ve got the paradigm turned around… It’s not about getting people inside of the church; it’s about getting Christians out. It’s not about how many people are in our organization, but what level of spiritual impression people are experiencing. How are they being imprinted with the likeness of Jesus Christ? And what is the impact crater around them as a result?” May our spiritual impression continue to deepen and our impact crater continue to expand as we work together to proclaim Christ Boldly to this World.

A Vision for the New England Conference

Transformed by the Holy Spirit, we will become united in trust as we boldly proclaim Christ to the world ~~~

Our Mission Statement:

Our Mission as the New England Conference is to equip, connect, and support local, regional and global ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve all in his name.

~~~

Our Five Critical Issues:

Spiritual Life

We are a people who yearn for God and seek healing and spiritual life through Jesus Christ in order to be united in trust and mission

Evangelism and Church Growth

As a people who yearn for God, we recognize that others yearn with us, and we will reach new people with the Gospel of Christ.

Area Diversity

As a people who yearn for God, we recognize that racism and all forms of discrimination undermine our ability to further the ministry of Christ.

Equipping Leadership

As a people who yearn for God, we will equip our churches, clergy and laity for unabashed pursuit of effective ministry.

Stewardship

As a people who yearn for God, we will be connected and accountable to God and to each other in the ways all our resources support the shared ministries of our congregations, our conference in New England, and Church throughout the world.
