Standing Committee Report to the Special Election Convention

As required by the SPECIAL RULES FOR THE ELECTION OF A BISHOP DIOCESAN pertaining to this convention, the Standing Committee herewith provides a report of the actions taken to provide for this election of a Bishop Diocesan.

At a meeting of the Standing Committee on January 16, 2009; The Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish provided the committee with a written announcement of her intent to resign as Bishop with jurisdiction of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah, for purposes of retirement, effective September 11, 2010. (Note: The effective date was later changed to November 6, 2010). The Special Electing Convention was called for April 17, 2010, later changed to May 22, 2010.

The Standing Committee accepted the Bishop’s Letter of Resignation. Immediately thereafter, written notice of the Bishop’s intent to retire was provided to all Clergy, Vestries, and Wardens of the Diocese.

Because Bishop Irish was not of the age for mandatory retirement, the Presiding Bishop notified every bishop of The Church and requested consents to the resignation. The Consents were subsequently received.

Notice was given that the Committee of Electors would convene on February 14, 2009 at the Diocesan Center.

The Standing Committee retained The Rev. L. Ann Hallisey, D.Min. to serve as Consultant to the process. The committee received and reviewed procedures provided by The Episcopal Elections Leadership Project in cooperation with The Office of Pastoral Development of the House of Bishops. These procedures were used as policy for the Search, Election and Transition except where they diverged from the Canons and Constitution of the Diocese of Utah.

The Committee of Electors, consisting of Clergy canonically resident in the Diocese, and one lay person from each congregation chosen by the Vestry of such congregation, convened on February 14, 2009 with members of the Clergy and representatives of the congregations of the Diocese. The full Convocation met in worship and following orientation, broke into separate groups of Presbyters and Laity.

The Clergy elected the following persons to the Nominating Committee:

The Rev. Catherine Gregg, Grace Church The Rev. Mary Janda, All Saints and St. James The Rev. Jim Tendick, Mision de San Francisco

The Laity elected the following persons to the Nominating Committee

Mr. Bill Bangert, Church of the Good Shepherd Ms. Diane Gooch, St. Paul’s (SLC) Mr. Rick Knuth, All Saints Ms. Mary McEntire, St. Luke’s Ms. Sandy Allen Motes, St. James Mr. Jay Stretch, Church of the Good Shepherd

The Nominating Committee elected Rev. Jim Tendick+ and Ms. Diane Gooch as co-chairpersons.

Pastor Joel Nau was appointed as Chaplain of the Search & Transition Process. Upon his relocation from the Diocese, The Rev. Rick Whittaker was appointed to serve in this role.

The Transition Committee was created with members representing both Clergy and Lay Persons.

At the Standing Committee meeting on May 29, 2009, Bishop Irish and the Standing Committee concurred that a Consecration date of September 11th, 2010 was less than desirable due to the remembrance of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In coordination with the Presiding Bishop’s office, the effective date of Bishop Irish’s retirement and the Consecration of the 11th Bishop of Utah were changed to November 6, 2010.

The Standing Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Transition Committee met for worship, orientation, discernment and organizing activities on March 13 & 14, 2009

The Standing Committee charged the Nominating Committee to provide a slate of at least three and not more than five duly qualified and vetted candidates to the Standing Committee for submission to the Electing Convention.

The Standing Committee sponsored a series of regional forums, entitled “Critical Conversations” that were convened to support the members of the Diocese in considering the historical and social context of congregations’ relationship to the Episcopacy and the Diocese.

The Standing Committee developed a Resolution for the Special Rules for the Electing Convention which was moved and passed at the 104th Annual Convention, on October 24th, 2009.

The Nominating Committee developed a Diocesan Profile which was published, in print and internet formats and published on January 8, 2010.

The application period opened on January 8, 2010 and was closed to nominations on January 31, 2010. It was closed to all applications on February 14, 2010. A total of 48 applications were received. The Nominating Committee screened, vetted and interviewed the applicants, arriving at a final slate of four candidates which was presented to the Standing Committee on Friday, April 9, 2010.

The Nominating Committee reported to the Standing Committee that the following slate of candidates was selected by unanimous assent of its members:

• The Rev. Canon Michael L. Barlow – Canon for Congregational Development, Diocese of California

28 • The Rev. Canon Scott B. Hayashi – Canon to the Ordinary, Diocese of Chicago • The Rev. Canon Juan A. Quevedo-Bosch – Rector, Church of the Redeemer, Diocese of Long Island • The Rev. Canon Mary C.M. Sulerud – Canon for Deployment and Vocational Ministries, Diocese of Washington D.C. This slate was unanimously accepted by the Standing Committee and by this report is now submitted to the Electing Convention, as Exhibit A of this report.

The slate was referred to the Vice Chancellor of the Diocese who commissioned the required background, reference and security checks.

The Standing Committee hereby warrants:

. That each of these candidates is duly qualified to be the Bishop of the Diocese of Utah.

. That each of these candidates and has been cleared by background and security checks

. That each of the candidates has provided the Standing Committee with a Declaration of Intent, stating that they intend to accept the Episcopacy if elected

. That each of the candidates has provided the Standing Committee with an affirmation that they have received a copy of the proposed compensation package and find it acceptable

. That each of these candidates is prepared to undertake the medical, psychological and psychiatric evaluations as required for The Bishop-Elect

. That this process is in compliance with the Constitutional and Canonical requirements of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah and The Episcopal Church.

The members of the Standing Committee wish to express our appreciation to members of the Nominating and Transition Committees, Chaplains, members of Diocesan staff and the many volunteers who have provided countless hours to the development of the profile, the search and selection process, shepherds for travel and hospitality arrangements for the interviews and walkabouts, the planning and coordination of this convention and , God willing, the Consecration and support of the 11th Bishop of Utah.

49 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Report of Camp Tuttle

Camp Tuttle is a wonderful outdoor ministry of the Episcopal Church in Utah. The mission of Camp Tuttle is to provide a safe, positive learning environment, which celebrates spiritual enlightenment in the outdoors. The Christian experience of community recognizes and encourages active learning along with an emphasis on healthy, happy lifestyles. Our goal is to build respect for self, others and creation. Through this outdoor ministry we will strengthen our unity with God and with one another.

After another rewarding summer, we are proud of the attendance at Camp Tuttle. This year’s summer camp had a total of 191 campers. We had 26 third and fourth graders attend the mini-camp, which was incredibly fun and entertaining. During fifth and sixth grade camp, 45 campers hiked and played in the mountains. Junior High Camp had 38 campers, and many of them enjoyed a special overnight trip to a nearby lake. High School Leadership camp had 46 participants, who went on the Peddle/Paddle. The peddle/paddle is a combination of bike riding in Park City and then river running down the Weber River. As a new activity, the high school campers experienced horseback riding through the Deer Valley ski resort. This year, we had the largest family camp yet. Nine different families attended the wonderful weekend in August.

Summer Camp Enrollment 2010

Staff Training 23 staff 3rd & 4th Mini-Camp 26 campers 5th& 6th Grade Camp 45 campers 7th & 8th Grade Camp 38 campers H.S. Leadership Camp 40 campers Family Camp 25 campers

We had a great staff that provided fun and positive guidance to all the campers. During the entire summer, we built a community based on love and acceptance for everyone. The experience level and professionalism of the Camp Tuttle staff was very impressive.

Camp Tuttle is an important part of the Episcopal Diocese’s youth ministry program. Every year, we welcome young people to embrace the spirit of Tuttle by building a Christian community where campers can have fun, experience new adventures and challenges, and learn about themselves as well as the world around them. Camp Tuttle’s campers leave with friendship, knowledge, self-confidence and memories that will last a lifetime. Living in a camp community in the summer is a very rewarding experience.

The camp community was built stronger around the special worship services in the chapel. The theme of the summer was “Faith in Love” and it focused on being kind to everyone and living a life of love and faithfulness. We often referred to Jeremy Langford’s book, Seeds of Faith, Practices to Grow a Healthy Spiritual Life. During the evening services the children would pray, sing and discover ways to find the good in all people and creation while realizing that everybody deserves respect and love. We discussed what it means to approach life with faith and love, and encouraged acceptance of others.

The construction on the new fire station continued through the spring and summer this year. The Unified Fire Authority rented camp through the month of June, in order to put in the new waterline.

The Standing Committee Liaison is Ms Barbara Losse. Rotating off this year are Ms Browning, Deacon Groshart, and Mr Reed.

In working for the development and support of the ministries of all baptized persons, clergy and lay, the Commission shall organize itself and collaborate with other Diocesan and parochial entities.”

A retreat and orientation meeting of the COM was held on November 20-21, 2010.

The COM once again sponsored the discernment program with a Day of Discovery in June. We are fortunate to have four local facilitators for the Day of Discovery. They are the Rev Charles Robinson, Ms Bonnie Brown, the Rev Trace Browning, and Ms Karen Browning.

The three sub-committees of the Commission continued their labors. They are: Ministry Education and Formation-chaired by the Rev Claudia Seiter, Ministry of the Laity-chaired by Ms Vicki Evans and Parish Discernment Committees- chaired by Mr David Reed. Every member of the COM serves on one of these three sub-committees. However, participation is not limited to members of the Commission.

BACAM (Bishop’s Advisory Committee on Applications for Ministry) met February 27. Five applicants participated in BACAM in 2010. All five were recommended for postulancy.

105th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah Report of the Diocesan Council

MEMBERS: The Right Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish, Elected Members: The Rev. Emil Belsky, The Rev. Isabel Gonzalez, The Rev. Constance Gordon, The Rev. Steve Keplinger, Mr. Rick Knuth, Ms. Cindy Kurowski, Mr. David Lingo, Mr. Donald Phillips, Ms. Lee Ann Rawley, Ms. April Richey, Mr. Charles Stuth, The Rev. Jim Tendick, Ms. Connie Tkalcevic, The Rev. Richard Whittaker, The Rev. John Williams, Mr. George Young Parliamentarian: Stephen F. Hutchinson, Esq. Chief Financial Officer: The Rev. Steve Andersen Diocesan Treasurer: Ms. Sandy Garrard Support Staff: Ms. Mary Kay Williams

The Diocesan Council meets regularly to discuss the program and finance matters of the Diocese. Among the primary responsibilities of the Diocesan Council are reviewing and approving the annual budget, reviewing policies of the Diocese and serving as a Council of Advice to the Bishop.

This has certainly been a year of transition for all of us as we prepare to say good-bye to our beloved Bishop Carolyn and welcome our Bishop-Elect Scott. Throughout the search process, the walkabouts and the special election of our new Bishop in May, the Council was regularly informed and updated by a member of the Search Committee. We were tasked with the responsibility of making sure money was available for the costs associated with the entire process and the upcoming consecration.

Speaking of costs, the Council faced many challenges with the Diocesan budget as we creatively sought ways to reduce the budget by over $200,000. This process was facilitated by a joint retreat of the Diocesan Council and the Standing Committee early in March which helped us identify our core values and create financial priorities to guide the Finance Committee in the creation of the 2011 budget. The recommendations were sent to the Finance Committee to assist in preparation of said budget.

The Finance Committee reported to the Council at each meeting. In August, a mid-year review was presented showing that we are very close to budget through the first six months 2010. The Finance Committee is currently working on the 2011 budget, a draft of which will be presented to the Council in October with finalization hoped for in November. Again, the challenge will be to cut another $250,000+ from this budget without significantly impacting programs throughout the Diocese.

Other actions considered and/or decided by Council included:

• Received monthly reports from the Bishop as to her diocesan, personal and community activities on behalf of the Diocese. Council offered their congratulations to Bishop Carolyn for receiving the “Giant in Our City” award • Received monthly reports from with the Parliamentarian concerning properties throughout Utah including Hurricane, Park City, West Valley, Logan, Ogden, St. George and Randlett as well as reports dealing with Episcopal Community Services and Executive Council meetings • Received repayment plan of the Project Jubilee debt and the status of the Perpetual Trust as a whole

54 • Entertained a report from the Rev. Canon Pablo Ramos, the Rev. Isabel Gonzalez and the Rev. James Tendick concerning Latino Ministries and vowed to support these ministries • Reviewed, discussed and updated canons and policies as needed including Policy on Shared Equity Ownership with Clergy, Policy on Clergy Compensation and Benefits, Policy on Lay Personnel, Policy on Policies, Policy on Calling a Priest and Canon 31 • Formed an Executive Committee of the Diocesan Council and discussed its role and how to effectively utilize it • Received and discussed the business plan of The Open Bookstore • Formed the Mission Task Force whose recommendation was to change the way we look at churches. This committee was later disbanded pending the desire and approval of the new Bishop • Developed and provided a checklist on financial policies and procedures each congregation needs to comply with annually • Discussed the viability of the Post Retirement Benefit Fund which is projected to be depleted by December 31, 2011. • Created the Congregational Mission Funding Committee to oversee grant allocations to congregations, acting fairly and equitably in consideration of all requests. This committee has proposed to visit each congregation personally and assist in the formation of a 3-5 year budget plan • Formed the Clergy Compensation Policy Advisory Committee to develop a method to provide for compliance concerning clergy compensation and COLAs • Acknowledged and expressed appreciation to The Right Rev. David E. Bailey for his ministry for the past 11 years. In August, we shared in the joy of his consecration as Bishop of Navajoland

55 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah 2010 Report of the Education for Ministry

EfM (Education for Ministry) is a distance learning program administered by the University of the South, Sewanee. Over 4 years of study with their peers, students learn to connect their learning from history, culture and scripture with their own experience of the world. With that theological foundation, their own ministry can be discerned and enriched. The Diocese of Utah has participated in EfM for close to 25 years. As of 2009, we have had 122 graduates within the Diocese and many, many more who have several years of the program. There were 43 students in 6 seminar groups across the Diocese in 2009- 2010, and 9 mentors were trained or re-certified during the summer of 2010. The EfM program in Utah is in the process of regrouping. We have registered 3 groups this fall: All Saints, St. Stephen's and St. James. As with other programs in the Diocese, we struggle with connecting people over great distances. A weekly gathering is often impossible.

Three Goals for the next few years:

-- To establish an EfM seminar group in each region of the Diocese.

-- As coordinator I will take the on-line mentor training offered in March 2011, and work to design groups which meet weekly online and gather face-to-face occasionally in the regions outside of the Wasatch Front.

-- Re-establish groups that have recently disbanded, so that students who have begun the program can graduate.

In August, an EfM reunion was hosted at St. James. Midvale. Thirty-five people gathered for fellowship and to recommit to the objectives of the program: equip people for ministry and catalyze a love for the scriptures and theological reflection.

Meredith Simmons, who mentored many groups at the Cathedral Church of St. Marks over 18 years and has served as Diocesan Coordinator, retired from mentoring this year. Meredith has been a long-time advocate for EfM. She has served as a guide and inspiration for many of us over the years. Thank you, Meredith.

Members: The Rev. Steven Alder (Deacon, St. Paul’s Church); Nancy Appleby (St. Mark's Cathedral); Jennifer Bauman (LEAP, Undergraduate Studies, University of Utah); Brin Bon (Episcopal Relief and Development); Rebecca Chavez-Houck (All Saints’ Church, Utah Legislature, Centro de la Familia); Sonja Decker (Dialogue for Peace, Unitarian Universalist Church); Keith Hale (Integrity, St. Stephen’s Church); Bert Hall (St. Michael’s Church, Veterans and PTSD Concerns); Elizabeth Haslam (St. Mark's Cathedral); The Rev. Jessica Hatch, (St. Mary’s Church); Kathryn Horvat (U.N. Assoc. and Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation); The Rev. Mary Janda (All Saints Church, Anti-racism); The Rev. Canon Diana Johnson (St. Mark’s Cathedral and Interfaith Power and Light); The Rev. Canon Caryl Marsh (St. Mark's Cathedral); Dee Rowland (Director, Peace and Justice Commission of Catholic Diocese); Dexheimer Trujillo (St. Stephen’s Church, Integrity)

Mandate—The Peace and Justice Commission was created a Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah, as follows: * Resolved: That the Canons of the Diocese of Utah be amended by adding thereto a new Canon 68, to read as follows: Canon 68. Of the Commission on Peace and Justice.

Sec. 1. Duties of the Commission on Peace and Justice shall include: (a) To develop and implement recommendations and strategies regarding common ministry opportunities and concerns on issues of peace and justice; (b) To make recommendations pertaining thereto to the Bishop, the Standing Committee, the Diocesan Council and the Diocesan Convention."

The Commission's mission statement is: "To advocate on behalf of those who are poor, needy, oppressed, and marginalized, and to encourage all Episcopalians and others to strive for justice and to bear non-violent witness to Christ's call for peace, exemplifying the highest of Christian principles, as we pray for and seek solutions that honor God and all of creation."

Goals: See above mission statement.

Action items:

• Participated in an educational event about nuclear disarmament sponsored by The Utah Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (UCAN). • With other community and religious organizations, signed an open letter, written by Crossroads Urban Center, to Governor Gary Herbert and Utah Legislators, urging them not to increase the State tax on food. • Participated in Episcopal Day at the Legislature, sponsored by the Coalition of Religious Communities, lobbying lawmakers on pending social justice legislation. • With our peace and justice counterpart at the Catholic Diocese, sponsored and organized an interfaith prayer vigil at The Cathedral Church of St. Mark on the eve of the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner. • Participated in several media interviews about the death penalty and Episcopal Church resolutions on the subject. • Participated in a strategic planning retreat with community members of the coalition, Utahns for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.

57 • Sponsored participation by one of our young adults in a “Journey into Peace” training weekend at St. John’s Cathedral in Denver. • Continued our interfaith work and witness on immigration issues by participating in community planning meetings and a press conference. • Provided information and updates to the Diocese on various social justice related issues. • Participated in Crossroads Urban Center’s annual poverty summit. • With Youth Ministries, co-administered the Youth Poverty and Outreach Fund matching grant fund.

Analysis of action: Although monthly meetings are a challenge for some of our members because of their other commitments, we communicate well by e-mail and several of us are generally available when something needs to be done.

Findings and conclusions: The Peace and Justice Commission continues to provide support to its members and to pursue its collective ministry of advocating and witnessing for peace and justice.

The Commission recommends that it continue to broaden its work. We have lost two members who have left Utah to attend seminary. Another member’s job has moved out of state. We hope to add new members to link us more closely to each parish in the diocese.

The Commission hopes to continue to provide support and counsel to the Bishop and diocesan committees and councils on issues relevant to its mission, with the goal that the diocese may become a voice for social justice in this community, particularly in areas where other voices do not speak or are not heard.

We will miss Bishop Carolyn. We extend our thanks for her leadership, and we wish her well in her retirement. We look forward to working with Bishop-elect Scott Hayashi.

Statement of how the group's work fits into the mission strategy of the Diocese: There are no better words to express this than these words from the five-year plan, Living Boldly: “Matters of justice are integral to the very fabric of God’s intention in creating the world and all its people. Justice is not an optional extra in our faith, nor can God’s peace exist without it.” We will continue our efforts in this spirit.

58 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Perpetual Trust Of St. Peter And St. Paul Presentation to the 2010 Episcopal Diocesan Convention

• As of October 31, 2010 the market value of the investments of Perpetual Trust was approximately $79.8 million

• Since July, 1992 the Trust has made almost $105 million in operating distributions to the Episcopal Diocese of Utah and has paid $11.6 million in interest on the Project Jubilee debt. In total, the Trust has provided $116.5 million in support to the ministry and programs of the Diocese.

• The trust has a well-diversified investment portfolio with an asset allocation designed by experts to provide a good return within prudent investment guidelines.

• As of September 30, 2010, the Trust has generated a year-to-date total return of 6.51%, compared to the 3.89% return on the S&P 500 over the same period. For the 12 months ended September 30, the return was 11.2% (S&P 500 return of 10.16%). Despite market volatility and the payment of operating distributions and Project Jubilee interest, over the 5 years ended September 30 the Trust has earned a 2.86% total return compared to the 5-year return on the S&P 500 of 0.64%.

• Based on the current adjusted market value of the Trust investments and conservative projections through June 2011, the 2012 operating distribution can be expected to be about $4 to $4.1 million.

59 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Report of the Project Jubilee Committee

The Project Jubilee Committee is essentially in hiatus due to the economic downturn and the limited borrowing capacity authorized for Project Jubilee. A hold was placed on further expenditures, including approved but unexpended support for the project of the Church of the Good Shepherd, and other hoped-for projects have had to be indefinitely suspended. Our final focus has been to partner with the congregation at The Church of the Good Shepherd to build a first phase of its project (a beautiful new education wing); and to work with the Bishop and Standing Committee to dispose of the property in Hurricane, Utah.

Attached to this report is a brief summary of the accomplishments of the Diocese work in Project Jubilee, including paying off all existing mortgage loans of our churches, purchasing land and buildings, constructing new buildings, remodeling and enlarging existing facilities, and in making grants to other church communities for their building projects. These expenditures totaled more than $47 million, and with participant funding contributions, Project Jubilee was responsible for more than $60 million in capital improvements to support ministries for many decades to come.

Many thanks and much credit go to the many volunteers of the respective congregations for their tireless efforts in building committee work and fundraising activities to help make all of this work possible.

61 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Report of the Diocesan Stewardship Education Team www.episcopalstewardship.org

After working on the project for the past two years, the Diocesan Stewardship Education Team has completed Phase I of the development of our new website devoted to stewardship education. The website functions as an online resource library. Anyone can go to the website in search of information on a wide variety of stewardship-related topics, e.g., the relationship between stewardship and the Christian faith, how to conduct a stewardship banquet, and how to encourage understanding of stewardship among your parish’s children. The searcher will find articles on each of these topics as well as additional links to other web resources. The website is divided into two categories: resources for clergy and resources for lay leadership.

Phase II is to gain the input of the whole diocesan family. We would like to know what is helpful about the website and what could be improved. Furthermore, we hope you will send recommendations of other links and resources as you discover them. The vision is to see the diocesan stewardship education website continue to develop in the months and years to come as new resources are discovered and shared with the team.

I want to express my gratitude to each of our hardworking and faithful team members: Charles Stuth, Toni Sutliff, and the Rev. Lee Shaw. An extra special word of thanks to the Rev. Mike Mayor who worked so hard to design and construct the website, keep it up to date as well as write many of the articles found on the site.

Your ideas and constructive feedback are always welcome. PLEASE send them to me at [email protected].

Respectfully,

The Rev. Charles Robinson Chair – Diocesan Stewardship Education Team

62 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Report of the Transition Committee 2010

Members: The Reverend Emil Belsky, the Reverend Jessica Hatch, the Reverend Canon Robin James, Howard Jorgensen, Carolyn Roll, the Reverend Rick Whittaker and Kari Butler

The Transition Committee was created to assist with the Walk Abouts for the four final candidates for Bishop; the electing convention for the 11th Bishop of Utah; helping to make a smooth transition for the outgoing Bishop as well as the incoming Bishop; communication to the Diocese of Utah about the Transition; the Consecration and the celebration of Carolyn Tanner Irish.

We began meeting in the spring of 2009 and in 2010 we held walk abouts in Salt Lake, Whiterocks, Ogden, Price and St. George the first week of May. These were a great opportunity for not only delegates to convention, but also the members of the Diocese of Utah to meet each candidate and ask questions of each of them. These walk abouts were successful due to the great leadership of Wim Ray and the congregations in the cities and towns we visited.

The Electing Convention was held on May 22, 2010 and at the convention we elected Scott Hayashi as the 11th Bishop of Utah. The convention was held at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Salt Lake and Carolyn Roll and her committee did an outstanding job making this a joyous occasion.

A celebration of the Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish was held at the Episcopal Church Center on June 12th. This was a wonderful afternoon honoring Bishop Irish and all she has done for the Diocese of Utah. A gift of a book with photographs taken during her episcopacy was presented to her by the committee who put this event together: Kaye Jorgensen, Karen Pena, Mary Kay Williams and Kari Butler.

The summer months were spent focused on the Consecration which will take place at the Grand America Hotel on November 6, 2010. The committee co-chaired by Robin James and Rick Whittaker held many meetings to discuss the various details of this service including liturgy, inviting participants from the congregations, enlisting volunteers to head up the music and service portions of the ceremony. They worked closely with Bishop Carolyn and Bishop-Elect Scott to insure their needs/wants were and are met.

Throughout this process, Howard Jorgensen, the chair of the communications subcommittee, has worked closely with Craig Wirth and the parishes in the Diocese to make sure all members know about the process and how this transition not only affects them, but how to participate in the activities as well.

We have all enjoyed serving on the Transition Committee and were honored to be a part of this new chapter in the life of the Diocese of Utah.

Kari Butler, Chair

63 105th Convention of the Episcopal Church in Utah Report of the Treasurer of the Diocese of Utah Finance Committee

Members: Sandy Garrard, Chair; Steve Andersen, CFO; John Williams; Lisa Jones; Reed Stock; Charles Stuth; Dave Lingo and Vicki Evans, Staff Support Secretary

FINANCE COMMITTEE According to the Canons of the Diocese of Utah

The Council shall provide for the appointment of the Finance Committee of the Diocese. The Finance Committee shall assist the Bishop and the Council.

The Bishop, with the advice of the Council, shall employ a qualified chief financial officer to direct the finance office of the Diocese in keeping full and complete financial records and in the preparation of reports. The chief financial officer of the Diocese shall be an ex officio member of the Finance Committee with seat and voice but without vote.

The chair of the Finance Committee shall be the Treasurer unless the Treasurer shall have delegated the chair to another member.

Duties:

In addition to other duties assigned to it by Canon, the Bishop, the Council or the Convention, the Finance Committee shall maintain general supervision of the financial affairs of the Diocese and the Corporation; provide for clarity and accuracy of the collection and disbursement of all funds, and cooperation between the various officers, corporate bodies, Diocesan committees and other entities, establishing its own rules therefore; and keep a record of its meetings, all of which shall be submitted regularly to the Council and annually to the Convention.

The Finance Committee shall act as advisor to the Bishop in financial matters and, upon request, as advisor to Parishes and Parochial Cures.

The Finance Committee shall see that appropriate annual audits of the Diocese, the Corporation, the Congregations and all Institutions are performed by qualified, independent auditing firms.

The Finance Committee shall see that adequate insurance is maintained upon all assets of the Diocese, including all real property owned by or held in trust for, the Corporation.

BUDGET COMMITTEE:

The Finance Committee shall serve as the budget committee of the Diocese, working with the chief financial officer to develop and propose each annual budget to the Council, pursuant to budget policies of the Diocese, and see that a budget system is introduced into all parishes and parochial cures.

Our goals for the year were to reinstate audits and get the budget done on time. We have had a very exciting and productive year. First, we finished putting together the 2010 budget that was started the year before. Second, we got started on the 2011 budget. Since we knew we would have fewer funds than last year to work with, we wanted to get started on it early in the year.

One thing that was important to me, as Diocesan Treasurer, was to reinstate audits of the parishes. Before the year is out, we will be putting together an audit committee to undertake this task along with the members of the finance committee. This committee has not been assigned as of yet, so the finance committee has done numerous audits. Finished, or under way, are: St. Barnabas, St. Stephen’s, Resurrection, St. Paul’s, SLC, St. Mark’s, Good Shepherd, St. Michael’s, Grace, St. Jude’s and St. Peter’s.

Charles Stuth and I put together another workshop for treasurers, clergy and finance people of the parishes. It was held on July 31, 2010. A small group attended and represented St. Barnabas, St. James and Resurrection. The subject matter dealt with payroll, taxes, policies and procedures of treasurers, etc. We are planning a couple of workshops for next year to continue training the parish treasurers and making them aware of the policies they are to be following.

Our work is defined from the canons and we strive to do it to the best of our ability.

Respectfully submitted,

Sandy Garrard Treasurer
