33 MINUTES OF THE 226TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF CONNECTICUT Friday, October 22, 2010 Christ Church Cathedral Hartford, Connecticut

In accordance with the Constitution of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, the Two Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Annual Convention of the Diocese was held on Friday, October 22 and Saturday, October 23, 2010, in a place designated by the Bishop with the consent of the Diocesan Executive Council, viz, Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut.

Registration took place from 1-3pm in the Cathedral House. A Meet the Candidates Forum, moderated by the Rev. Peter A. R. Stebinger, President of the Standing Committee, was held in the Cathedral from 2-3pm. This offered an opportunity for delegates to meet candidates for the Standing Committee, Provincial Synod and the deputation to the 2012 General Convention.

The Convention was called to order at 3:02pm by the President of the Convention, the Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Bishop of Connecticut, who led the opening devotions. Bishop Douglas offered thanks to the Very Rev. Mark Pendleton, Dean of the Cathedral and his staff, for their assistance and graciousness in hosting Convention.

Dean Pendleton offered words of welcome to the Convention and was proud to acknowledge the lack of scaffolding on the Cathedral walls. Dean Pendleton, who also serves as the co-convener of the Connecticut Clergy Association, announced times when clergy can be photographed for the new clergy photo directory.

Bishop Douglas introduced the Bishops Suffragan, the Rt. Rev. James Curry and the Rt. Rev. Laura Ahrens who were seated in the chancel. He also introduced the Rev. Deacon Marjorie Roccoberton, Canon to the Ordinary; Chancellor Bradford Babbitt, Canon Jack Spaeth, Secretary of the Diocese; Lynn Brooks, the Treasurer of the Diocese and the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Secretary of the Convention.

The Bishop then called upon the Rev. Peter A. R. Stebinger, President of the Standing Committee, to certify the voting list of the clergy.

Report of Credentials in the Clerical Order The Bishop and Clerical Members of the Standing Committee, in accordance with Canon XIII, at a meeting on 21 October 2010, prepared a roll of clergy canonically resident in the diocese and entitled to a seat and vote at the annual convention on October 22-23, 2010. The roll is submitted herewith: Bishops 8 Presbyters 306 Deacons 50 ______Total 364 In addition to the above clergy there is 1 bishop, 97 presbyters and 6 vocational deacons canonically resident in the diocese who are not entitled to a seat and vote by reason of not complying with Article IV of the Constitution.

Respectfully submitted, The Rev. Peter A. Stebinger, President of the Standing Committee

34 The Bishop thanked Peter for his years of faithfulness and leadership on the Standing Committee, particularly in this last year as President, when he served under three different ecclesiastical authorities during the transition of Diocesan Bishops. Bishop Douglas then called on Mr. Lyn Meyers, Acting Secretary of the Standing Committee, to certify the list of lay delegates.

Report of Credentials in the Lay Order The Secretary of the Diocese and the Lay Members of the Standing Committee, in accordance with Canon XIII, at a meeting on 21 October 2010, examined the list of Lay Delegates to the Convention and report as follows:

We have carefully examined the certificates of election and have verified the names of all delegates and substitutes properly attested and the roll is submitted herewith 244 qualified lay delegates.

In addition there are 16 lay members of the Executive Council, 1 lay member of the Standing Committee, 4 lay deputy members to General Convention and 6 elected lay Dean and Subdeans who are ex-officio members of the Convention with voice and vote. This is a total of 271 lay delegates. Respectfully submitted, Eugene Leitermann Secretary of the Standing Committee

The Bishop recognized and thanked Gene Leitermann for his five years of service on the Standing Committee.

The Bishop then requested that, absent objections, we would dispense with the Calling of the Rolls. There was no objection. The Bishop noted that a constitutional quorum is present and declared the Convention organized for business.

Registration indicated that 212 clergy and 158 lay delegates or alternates were present on Friday, October 22, 2010. There were 221 clergy and 219 lay delegates present on Saturday, October 23, 2010.

Bishop Douglas reminded Convention of the tradition of addressing one another by our Christian names, rather than by title. He asked that all who come forward to speak introduce themselves with their full names and the parish and town they represent. He also announced that all votes will be taken by a show of hands to better accommodate our hearing impaired communities and offer a more accurate way to record voting.

He then called upon the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Secretary of Convention, for some procedural announcements. She reminded non-delegates to please sit in the designated areas of the Cathedral balcony reserved for non-voting guests. Delegates are invited to sit on the main floor of the Cathedral nave and in the center section of the balcony. Exceptions are made for canonically resident priests-in-charge who are ineligible to vote, and non-canonically resident interim and assistant clergy who may sit with their parish delegations on the convention floor, but not vote. Visitors for whom sitting in the non-accessible balcony would pose a physical challenge may sit on the convention floor in a section designated for non-voters. Terry asked that delegates obtain prior permission from either herself or Jack Spaeth before they print/copy materials or secure caucus rooms. Approval of the Secretary of Convention is also needed to distribute written material to delegates or to place materials in the vendor/registration area. Unauthorized material will be removed. She announced that the Committee on the Bishop’s Address will meet in the Library immediately after Convention adjourns this afternoon. Terry asked that no cell phones, pagers, computers be used in the Cathedral and that all such devices be silenced. All phone calls are to be

35 made outside the Cathedral buildings.

Bishop Douglas called for the election of the Secretary of Convention and asked for the nomination of the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Vicar of St. Paul’s, Plainfield. She was nominated and seconded. There were no other nominations and Terry was elected.

Canon Marjorie Roccoberton, Canon to the Ordinary, was asked to introduce newly ordained deacons and priests and those in the ordination process in the Diocese.

Bishop Douglas then asked the Convention for permission to allow the Rev. Ann Broomell, who is not a member of this Convention, to speak so that she could introduce a visitor. A motion was made to this effect, seconded, and passed with a two-thirds majority, thus granting permission for Ann to address the Convention. She introduced James Philip Kaleza who is the Assistant Diocesan Secretary in the Diocese of Zanzibar, Tanzania. He runs an NGO that works with Christian and Muslim youth in a population that is only 3% Christian. He is in Connecticut, sponsored by the Congregational Church in Fairfield. Mr. Kaleza thanked the Diocese of Connecticut for the warm welcome.

The Rev. Don Hamer came forward to introduce Bishop Markus Ibrahim from the Diocese of Yola in the Province of Jos in the Church of Nigeria. Bishop Ibrahim is visiting Connecticut and studying at the International Peace Partner Program at Hartford Seminary. His diocese is composed of 20 million people, of whom half are Muslim and half are Christian.

Bishop Douglas stated that, absent objection, the Diocesan Executive Council and the Standing Committee will be authorized to fill vacancies in committees, commissions and trusts as may arise between now and the next Diocesan Convention. There was no objection.

Chancellor Bradford Babbitt was recognized by the Bishop to present the Rule of Order and the Order of the Day on behalf of the Committee on Constitution and Canons.

Chancellor Babbitt reminded the Convention of the Special Order of the Day adopted in May 1993: “Anyone moving the adoption of a resolution may speak to it for up to five minutes. Any subsequent speakers pro or con will be limited to two minutes each. No one may speak a second time to the same resolution until all others wishing to speak have done so.”

Assistant Secretaries Robert Stocksdale and Dexter Cheney have been appointed timekeepers. Anyone addressing the Convention, including to make a parliamentary motion, must do so from a floor microphone. Motions may be seconded from your seat. Only properly registered delegates may address the convention unless permission is granted by a two-thirds vote of the Convention.

Chancellor Babbitt presented the rules of order for the elections as follows: Standing Committee: The candidate in each order receiving the highest number of votes, provided it is a majority of the votes cast on the first ballot, will be elected to the five year term and the candidate with the lower number of votes will fill the unexpired term in each order. If no candidate receives a majority or if there is a tie in one or both orders on the first ballot, a second ballot will be distributed. On the second ballot, the candidate with the highest number of votes will be elected.

General Convention/Provincial Synod: The candidates (to the required number) receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected, provided that, in the case of the first ballot that

39 number be a majority of the whole number of votes cast for said office; and provided further that, if there be a failure to elect the required number of persons on the first ballot, or if a tie occur in the case of two or more persons having the same number of votes, another ballot shall be taken immediately for the places unfilled and, in either of such events, the candidates (to the required number) receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected, the polls to be opened for that purpose for such time as the President shall direct. The next four candidates receiving the highest number of votes but not elected as deputies shall be declared elected as Alternate Deputies (Supplemental Deputies).

Procedural note: General Convention: For the election of General Convention Deputies, there is one ballot with all nominee names thereon for each Order. The four highest vote getters are named as deputies in each Order and the next four highest are declared Alternate Deputies (Supplemental Deputies) in each Order.

Chancellor Babbitt asked for unanimous consent to adopt the Order of the Day that was distributed to delegates in their registration packets. There being no objection, the following Order of the Day is adopted.

DIOCESAN CONVENTION ADDRESS 226th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut The Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Ph.D. 22 October, 2010 Introduction The Apostle Paul writes in his second letter to the Christians at Corinth, Chapter 5, verses 17-18, 20: “So if any one is in Christ, there is a new creation; everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself . . . So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us.” Paul says: in Christ there is a new creation and we, you and I, are given that ministry of reconciliation. Newness and reconciliation go hand in hand in our life in Christ Jesus. Newness and reconciliation are about our common life in God’s mission. I never thought I would be standing here in front of you as your bishop. Yet a year ago, this Sunday October 24th to be exact, you elected me your new diocesan bishop. And just over six months ago last week, the Diocese gathered to celebrate our new beginning together when I was ordained and consecrated bishop at the Koeppel Community Sports Center – the hockey rink – at Trinity College here in Hartford. I was, and continue to be, humbled and honored by the invitation to come and be among you as your bishop. This vocation of bishop of Connecticut is a wonderful, new and surprising reality for me (and I have heard that it has also been a surprise for some of you too). God does work in strange and amazing ways! So I want to begin by saying thank you. First I want to thank God for the gift of this new life, this new creation with you in the Body of Christ here in Connecticut. And I want to thank you and all the people of the Diocese of Connecticut. You have all been so warm, loving, gracious and generous to Kristin, our

41 children and me over the last year. I can say, without hesitation, that the last year of my life has been one of the most exciting, exhilarating, positive, and yes, fun-filled times of my life. I just love being here with all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The thing that excites me most about being your bishop is that everywhere that I go in the Diocese I see a passion for mission; an incredible excitement for and commitment to what God is up to in the world through Jesus Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit. I think this is worth repeating. Everywhere I go in Connecticut I find an incredible excitement and passion for God’s mission. Note here that I say: for God’s mission, not the Church’s mission, not your mission, not my mission, but rather God’s mission. For fundamentally what we are called to participate in by virtue of our baptism is the mission of God, the missio Dei. Now in this address I want to focus on four particular aspects of our common life in service to God’s mission. They are: 1) The nature of God’s mission: God’s story in mission. 2) The urgency of God’s mission for a hurting and broken world. 3) The telling of our stories in God’s mission and how this might lead to a Mission Discernment Initiative for the Diocese. 4) The implications for who we are as a Diocese when we are oriented to God’s mission.

The nature of God’s mission: God’s story in mission What is the mission of God? What is the work of God in the world that we share in because of our baptism? For baptism is indeed our commission, co-mission, in God’s mission. The Catechism in the back of the Book of Common Prayer says that the mission of the Church, or more correctly put – the mission of God in which the Church is privileged to participate, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (BCP p.855) – “restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” God’s mission, the mission of God, is that profound restoring, reconciling action in the world by which the goodness and possibility of a bountiful, loving creation in and through God is made new. God’s mission, God’s desire, is to bring about healing, wholeness, and right-relationship. This then is God’s story – God’s story in mission. Holy Scripture is fundamentally the story of God’s mission, the story of how God brings about restoration and reconciliation in the world; it’s the story of what God has been up to since the beginning of creation. God in God’s abundant love created the universe and all that is in it. In the differentiation of creation, God created light from dark, water from sky, dry land from the seas, creatures of the ocean, air and land, and finally humankind, made in God’s image. And all creation echoed with the refrain of God’s love: “And it was good!” No sooner, however, had God created this abundant and life-giving creation than humanity turned against God and one another, choosing to live unto ourselves. Our catechism thus tells us that, “sin is the seeking of our own will instead of the will of God, thus distorting our relationship with God, with other people, and with all creation.” (BCP p.848) Sin is about broken relationship and alienation – alienation from God, alienation from one another, and alienation from creation. But the good news is that God, because God is a God of abundant love, does not leave us alone in our alienation. No – God, in God’s love, seeks right-relationship; wants us to be restored to unity with God and each other. God continually seeks after us to restore us and reconcile us to God and one another. Hebrew scripture tells us that God initially sought to repair the world through a particular people, the people of Israel. Through Abraham and Sarah, God established a covenant by which the people of Israel could be a light to the nations, a point of reconciliation between God and all people. To help effect this right relationship God gave the Law, not as a punitive set of proscriptions but rather as a guide, a means by which the people of Israel could be bound up in God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation. And when the leaders of Israel turned their backs on God seeking their own will instead of the will of God, then God sent the prophets to call the people back into right relationship. The Law and the Prophets are all about how God is bringing about God’s reconciliation in the world. As Christians we believe further that God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation did not end with the covenant with Abraham and with the Law and the Prophets. We believe that God took a new and unique step to effect right relationship, healing and wholeness. We believe that through the incarnation, 42 life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ there is a new creation. In Jesus, fully human and fully divine, God crosses the divisions between an errant humanity and the loving creator. God becoming one of us in Jesus provides us a new way, a new covenant, by which we can be restored to unity with God and each other. God’s mission to bring about right-relationship is made accessible for all in Jesus as the one who broke down the dividing walls of hostility between us and God, and between ourselves and each other. And so the Body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit in Pentecost, is thus called to continue in God’s mission to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. The witness of the Apostle Paul and the epistles provide testimony to how the Body of Christ, the Church, is called to this mission of God. While the Church often falls far short of its vocation in God’s mission – as evident in the epistles – the call, the vocation to effect wholeness, healing, right relationship in the world is no less urgent today then it was for the early followers of Jesus. God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation will continue until we are all gathered around the throne of God in right-relationship with God and each other at the end of time, as envisioned in the Book of Revelation. This is God’s story. God loves the world and us so much that God will do anything, anything – even become human, to bring us into a new, restored, reconciled, right-relationship with God and each other. Paul proclaims this story of God’s mission: “So if any one is in Christ, there is a new creation; everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself . . . So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us.”

The urgency of God’s mission for a hurting and broken world Oh my God (literally!), is the world still in need of God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation today. As we look around us: in the world, in this great nation of ours, in the state of Connecticut and in our local communities, in our parishes and congregations, in our families and in our own personal lives, we sadly find alienation and distorted relationships wherever we cast our gaze. In the world where war and violence seem to be on the increase, whether in Central Asia or in Africa, we seem to be further away from God’s reign of justice, compassion and wholeness than we have ever been. Ten years ago, at the turn of the new millennium, all the nations of the world came together committing to eight goals that, if realized, would radically reshape the world. These eight Millennium Development Goals, the “MDGs,” sought to: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality and empower women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat disease, ensure environmental stability, and develop a global partnership for development. The Anglican Communion, The Episcopal Church, and yes even we in the Diocese of Connecticut joined with the nations of the world to meet the Millennium Development Goals. But the sad news is that ten years into the 15-year commitment to the MDGs, we find that not only are we not meeting the goals but the world has in fact become much worse off in many places. God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation globally is needed now more than ever. And in our country, it seems that everywhere we look we are increasingly alienated from each other in ever more distorted human and political relationships. Our political system, once the great democratic hope of many, is strained almost to the point of breaking in this election season. Tea Party members, Democrats, and Republicans are all pointing the finger at each other blaming one other for the harsh economic and political times in which we live. And there is no lack of incivility and even hate in our society today as we scapegoat the “other,” the marginalized, the one who is different, in an attempt to alleviate our fears, our insecurities, and our sense of loss. Persecution of migrants and immigrants who cross our nation’s border looking for work and a better life, verbal and even physical attacks on people of the Islamic faith with accusations that they are terrorists, are all symptoms of the alienation in our country today. God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in our country is needed now more than ever. And here in Connecticut it seems as if individuals and families are working harder and harder yet falling further and further behind. New Census data confirms that poverty has risen sharply over the last decade due to the economic recession. In 2009, 9.4% of Connecticut residents had incomes under the Federal Poverty Level, up from 7.3% in 2001. Among Connecticut children under age 18, 12.1% lived in families with incomes under the Federal Poverty Level in 2009. And yet Connecticut per capita 43 income is one of the highest, if not the highest, in the nation. What does this gross mal-distribution of our “common-wealth” say about our state and our local communities? How does the economic crisis in which many of us are struggling get manifested in distorted relationships among the citizens of Connecticut? God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in our state is needed now more than ever. And what about the Church, are we immune from this? Ecumenically we seem to be in a state of flux and decline as old models of cooperation in regional and state ecumenical councils no longer seem to be viable. At the same time, newspapers and blogs have a field day proclaiming the demise of the Anglican Communion as we continue to wrestle with hard questions of difference, be they differences over biblical interpretation, the place of women in the Church, or the full inclusion of gay and lesbian people. In The Episcopal Church, parishes, and even some dioceses, continue to threaten leaving the Episcopal Church in internecine power struggles. What results all too often is increased alienation and bitter relationships between sisters and brothers in Christ. And here in the Diocese of Connecticut, harsh economic realities seem to nip at the heels of our congregational life. How many of you here this afternoon cannot say that you are not anxious about your parish budget? God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in the Church is needed now more than ever. Many of you have heard me say a few times in my brief time here in Connecticut, “The devil is not stupid.” There is nothing the evil one wants more than for us as Christians to turn our backs on God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation, wallowing in a spirit of, “I can’t,” or “we can’t,” or “God can’t.” The devil wants nothing more than for us to be dragged down by the problems of the world, this nation, our state, or the Church. But that is not what God wants. Rather what God wants is for us to stand up, act boldly, and proclaim: “Get thee behind me Satan. I have work to do in God’s mission.”

The telling of our stories in God’s mission: a Mission Discernment Initiative So how might we do this? How shall we discern? How might we find anew our place, our vocation, individually and corporately in God mission of restoration and reconciliation? One way of being renewed, of discerning our role in God’s mission is, by locating our lives as Christians within the story of God’s mission. When we tell our stories of faith, when we tell our stories of the moments that we have been swept up in the restoring, reconciling love of God, then we begin to see again in new ways how God strengthens us and binds us one to another in service to what God is up to in the world. Locating our stories, individually and corporately, in God’s story gives us new hope, new possibility, new energy, new excitement to serve God’s mission in the world. When we as Christians tell our faith stories in the context of the story of God’s mission, then we are reborn with a new sense of power and possibility as the Body of Christ to serve God’s restoring and reconciling action in the world. Let me say that again: when we tell our own personal stories of how we have been swept up in, connected to God’s healing, restoring, reconciling work in the world, then we find new meaning as the Body of Christ as a whole. This new identity in the Body of Christ, this new creation in Jesus, then gives us as the Church new focus, new possibility, new energy to serve God’s restoring, reconciling action in the world. As we tell our individual stories in God’s story, we discover anew our common story and are empowered for new action in service to God’s mission. This is the work, the newness, that God holds out for us in the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. I believe that God is calling us to tell our own personal stories, out loud, in public, of how we have found restoration and reconciliation in the loving embrace of God. Yes, I do mean Episcopalians telling how God is active in our lives. Can you believe it, actually telling our stories of what God is up to in our lives? Dare we say witnessing to the Love of God in Jesus? To that end you will hear stories from eight sisters and brothers in Christ in the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, two each in four different time slots, during this convention. Each of these “witnesses” will share a very brief story of how they have been caught up in God’s restoration and reconciliation in their own lives. Listen to these stories with open hearts; let them wash over you, as icons of God’s mission. I do believe that as we tell our stories of how we have been swept up individually in God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation, we rediscover our commonality and communion together as the Body of Christ in our local eucharistic communities – our parishes and congregations – as well as in other communities of practice, be they committees, commissions or other pan-diocesan groupings such as the Episcopal Church Women, the Union of Black Episcopalians, Integrity, or the new Connecticut Clergy Association. When we tell our stories in God’s mission we will become even more profoundly the Diocese of Connecticut as a whole, in service to God’s mission. 44 And so I call the Diocese of Connecticut to engage in a process of story telling, individually and corporately, so that we may more fully discover our common life and common action in God’s mission. More specifically I ask this convention to affirm by resolution that the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut enter into a Mission Discernment Initiative. This Mission Discernment Initiative will be an ongoing process that will: 1) invite us to tell our individual stories in God’s mission, 2) help us to discover anew our commonality, our common story, as the Diocese of Connecticut in service to God’s mission, and then 3) lead us to make decisions about how to use the incredible, abundant resources God has given us to serve more faithfully God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in our communities, across this state and nation, and to the ends of the earth. The Mission Discernment Initiative is not envisioned as a time-limited program, a one off been-there- done-that planning event promulgated by some office in Hartford located at 1335 Asylum Ave. It is much larger than that. It is an invitation for each and every one of us, individually and corporately, to discover anew who we have been, who we are, and who God wants us to be as Episcopalians in the Diocese of Connecticut in service to God’s mission. More specifically, the Mission Discernment Initiative will provide leadership training so that all local eucharistic communities and all communities of practice in the Diocese can become more aware of and articulate about how we are to serve God’s mission. As we become more aware of and articulate about how we are to serve God’s mission, then we will be better equipped as a diocese to discern what specific steps, what strategic initiatives God’s wants us to take in order to become more faithful “ambassadors for Christ.” I hope and pray that this Convention is bold enough to take this step in faith, to take this step forward in God’s mission.

The implications for who we are as a diocese when we are oriented to God’s mission In this address you might hear a new or different missiology and ecclesiology than that which has historically been common in the Diocese of Connecticut. (It’s true I could not get through a public presentation without using the words, “missiology” – which means theology of mission, and “ecclesiology” – how we order our common lives as the Church!) So now I want to make explicit how I understand what a diocese is, in service to God’s mission. Anglican tradition holds that a diocese is the united witness of Christians in their local parishes and congregations in a particular geographic region. There is no diocese separate from the common life of those gathered around the altars of local eucharistic communities in a specific area. There is no diocese separate from the congregations and parishes, chaplaincies and missions, in which all of you live and move and have your being. And while there is no diocese separate from the witness of the parishes and congregations, the other side of the equation is also true: no parish or congregation exists separate from the diocese as a whole. Each local eucharistic community is intimately bound up in the life and witness of other parishes and congregations, whether they acknowledge this reality or not. We cannot be “catholic” – small “c”, meaning universal – Christians without sharing in the common life of the parishes and congregations that make up the diocese. Obviously, what I am saying here has implications for how we see ourselves and how we live our lives as the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. The Diocese of Connecticut is indeed the united witness and service to God’s mission of Episcopalians in 170+ parishes, congregations, chaplaincies and missions in Connecticut – nothing more, nothing less! The Diocese of Connecticut is not the bishop or some office building with staff in Hartford. To this end the old sign at 1335 Asylum Ave that reads, “Diocesan House,” has been retrieved and re-hung, because it reflects the reality that the Diocese exists in our parishes and congregations and not in an office building far away in Hartford. So please do not refer to Diocesan House and the faithful work of the gifted and dedicated people who work at 1335 Asylum Ave (for whom I am incredibly indebted and thankful) as the Diocese. 1335 Asylum Ave is not the Diocese; the staff is not the Diocese; I am not the Diocese. You and the parishes, congregations, chaplaincies and missions that sent you here are the Diocese. This view of the Diocese, which I would argue is quintessentially Anglican, does have implications for our common life as it is expressed financially. Here I want to say just a few words about how we see our budget and how our parishes and congregations participate in our common budget. Our budget, and I want to underscore that it is our budget and not some other entity’s budget, is based upon a common sharing of our common God-given resources for the sake of our common witness and common action in God’s mission. Clearly “common” is the operative word here. The call to share 12.5 % of 45 one’s local parish income in a diocesan-wide budget, a call enacted by this Convention when you pass the budget, is a common commitment made by the whole for the sake of the whole. The 12.5 % sharing is thus a manifestation of our common life as the Diocese Connecticut. It is not a tax. Our parish and congregations’ participation in the diocesan budget might even be considered somewhat sacramental – an outward and visible sign (our money – or more correctly put, God’s money) of an inward and spiritual grace (our common life in Christ.) So not participating fully in the diocesan budget at the local parish and congregational level limits both the local eucharistic community, and the Diocese as a whole, of our potential and common life in God’s mission. Now the budget that we will consider at this convention is basically a flat budget from last year. There are, however, a few new modest expenditures in support of the Mission Discernment Initiative. Projections based on parochial reports for 2009 will produce $4,400,000 if all parishes pledge at the same rate as last year, which was 9.3%, but if we are to have a balanced budget all parishes and congregations will have to participate at least near the 12.5%. OK, enough said. The way by which we order our common lives as the Church (the ecclesiology) that I am putting forward here not only has implications for our common identity and common budget as the Diocese of Connecticut, but it also has implications for how we understand the episcopate, the office of bishop. The episcopate, particularly in the tradition of the American Episcopal Church, is not some monarchical exercise of power over. Rather the episcopate is fundamentally about an office whose sole purpose is to build up and support the Body of Christ in service to God’s mission. It is thus no coincidence then that The Episcopal Church initiated the “missionary episcopate” in the early 19th century to help extend the Church into new mission frontiers. As someone called to be a bishop among you, I see myself as an inheritor of that missionary episcopate whose sole purpose is to build up and support the Body of Christ in service to God’s mission. As such I am a networker for God’s mission, serving to help link all of you together as you seek to be more faithful to God’s mission in your own lives and communities. And I share this office with two incredibly faithful, gifted and committed individuals, Bishop James Curry and Bishop Laura Ahrens. I am so blessed to share the office of the episcopate with Laura and Jim. They are a constant source of joy, challenge, and support as together we are bishops for all of you here in Connecticut. I want to underscore that together the three of us inhabit the singular office of the episcopate. While we each might have different portfolios, different gifts, different spheres of work, we are united in the fact that we are called to do this work together in a mutually responsible and interdependent manner. Let me say it again: Connecticut has one episcopate embodied by three bishops. Jim, Laura and I hope to model the unity of the office of the episcopate by sharing responsibilities in new ways including co-presiding at this convention. Thank you Laura and Jim for your collegiality, friendship, and love. You are the best! Before closing, I want to name very briefly a few additional items of concern, opportunities for our faithfulness to God’s mission that are or will be before the Diocese in the near future. The first is the call to address the ongoing suffering of people of Haiti in the wake of last January’s horrendous earthquake, and now, sadly, the new outbreak of cholera. Many, many of you have been involved in addressing the relief and development needs of the people of Haiti, and the Episcopal Church of Haiti in particular. I thank you and I thank God for your love and generosity. But the needs of the people of Haiti will not be met easily. There will be ongoing calls for us to give and work sacrificially for the rebuilding of Haiti. To that end in the coming months there will be a 10 million dollar appeal advanced by the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church to help rebuild the Episcopal Church of Haiti. You will hear more about this appeal in due course, and when you do I ask that each and every one of our parishes, congregations, chaplaincies and missions participate generously. Secondly, as I suspect many of you are aware, there is now before the churches of the Anglican Communion a proposed “Anglican Covenant.” This covenant is intended as a new means by which the churches of the Anglican Communion can grow into deeper and more meaningful relationships. Some see the Covenant, however, as a tool for excluding some churches from inter-Anglican life because of beliefs and actions related to the full inclusion of gay and lesbian people in the life of the Church. Whether we see the proposed Anglican Covenant as a means of deepening relationships or as a tool for exclusion is the question that is now before the churches of the Anglican Communion. The 2012 General Convention thus will consider how The Episcopal Church responds to the Anglican Covenant. In preparation for the next General Convention, all dioceses in The Episcopal Church have been asked 46 to weigh in on how we see the Anglican Covenant. I have asked that the evaluation of the Anglican Covenant by the Diocese of Connecticut be led by the deputies to General Convention that you will elect at this convention, given that they will be voting on the same in 2012. I ask that you keep this responsibility in mind as you mark your ballots for deputies to the 2012 General Convention. Speaking of the Anglican Covenant and the General Convention leads me to note that questions of how gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered sisters and brothers in Christ are included in the life of the Church remain central concerns in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. This is not the time and place for me to articulate my full understanding on these concerns (and I do not have the time even if I wanted to). I do want to say, however, that I see the norms and procedures for the Diocese of Connecticut advanced by Bishop Andrew Smith in these matters as consistent with the intent and direction of Resolution C056 of the 2009 General Convention. I thus have no plans to change Bishop Smith’s direction at this time.

Conclusion I want to conclude where I began – with a spirit of gratitude and excitement. I thank our loving creator God for God’s restoring, reconciling mission in Jesus Christ. I thank God that in the power of the Holy Spirit and through baptism, each and everyone of us is called and empowered to join God in God’s mission. And I thank God for all of you, the Diocese of Connecticut, for your expressed hope and possibility in God’s mission. Thank you for asking me to come and be a part of that newness and reconciliation in God’s mission here in the Diocese of Connecticut. It is all so very exciting! Since we are in Christ, there is a new creation. Everything old has passed away; see everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us, given us, the ministry of reconciliation. We are indeed ambassadors for Christ. Let us share our stories of God’s love with each other and with the world and so be drawn more deeply into God’s mission to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. AMEN

At the conclusion of his address, Bishop Douglas called upon the Rev. Marion Stinson from St. Luke’s, Glastonbury and Mr. Jack Pearson from Trinity, Hartford to present the first two Witnesses to God’s Mission in their lives. As Bishop Douglas introduced in his address, “each of these “witnesses” will share a very brief story of how they have been caught up in God’s restoration and reconciliation in their own lives.”

After a brief ten minute stretch break, the Convention gathered in prayer upon learning news of the fire that engulfed the chapel at Virginia Theological Seminary that afternoon.

Chancellor Brad Babbitt then offered a detailed Powerpoint presentation on the new Title IV provisions that will be voted upon as Resolution #3 on Saturday.

Ms. Flora Quammie of St. John’s, New Milford and the Rev. Elsa Worth presented the next two Witnesses to God’s Mission.

After some final announcements, the Convention took a short break to set up for Evening Worship at 6:15pm. The service featured Rhythms of Grace, and included the seating of the Rev. Dr. Barbara T. Cheney as Honorary Canon of Christ Church Cathedral.

Upon conclusion of worship, the Convention was in recess until 9am Saturday, October 23.

47 Saturday, October 23, 2010 Morning Prayer was offered in the Cathedral at 7:30am. Registration began at 8am and included the first ballot of elections for Standing Committee, 2012 General Convention deputation and delegates to Provincial Synod.

The Convention was called to order at 9:03am by Bishop Ian Douglas, who then invited Bishop Laura Ahrens to preside over the morning session. Bishop Ahrens opened with prayer, including prayers for Haiti, and Virginia Theological Seminary, following the destruction of its chapel in a fire yesterday.

The Secretary of Convention, the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, made some opening announcements, including the provision that voting is extended until 9:30am to accommodate late arrivals due to construction delays on I-84. She reminded all clergy that they may have their photos taken for the new CT Clergy Association Clergy Directory until 4pm today. Bishop Douglas’ address from yesterday afternoon is available online on the diocesan web site. She reminded delegates of seating arrangements to accommodate voting by hand.

Bishop Ahrens called upon Bates Lyons, from St. Monica’s, Hartford, Chair of the Program and Budget Committee, and Lynn Brooks, Treasurer of the Diocese, to present and offer discussion of the 2011 Diocesan Budget. Lyons encouraged delegates to see what spiritual blessings are offered as a result of this budget, including congregational development, leadership training, Camp Washington, clergy development and staff support. The struggling economy presented ongoing challenges for the development of this budget. Parishes requesting support were required to be current with their parochial audit reports. For 2011, the net income projected from parishes will approximate$4.8 million, which is a drop from previous years of about 9.8%. Considering this constraint, the budget was able to meet some of the budget requests, while falling short of fully funding all requests by an approximate amount of $450,000. Despite all the financial challenges, the Program and Budget Committee proposes a budget of $5,365,643 with a prayerfully manageable deficit of $30,643. It is expected that parishes will fulfill their requirement of 12.5% contribution to the diocese. Lyons indicated the Program and Budget Committee will carefully follow the expenditures and income of the diocese and will make adjustments as needed. This budget was approved by the Executive Council at its most recent meeting. Lyons moved that the 226th Convention adopt the budget of $5,365,643.

Bishop Ahrens called upon the Rev. Audrey Scanlon, Rector of Church of Our Savior, Plainville and St. Gabriel’s in East Berlin, to present the results of the Bishop’s Fund for Children 5K Race. She offered thanks to all the parishes and individuals who supported and participated in the race. This year the Fund benefitted 32 programs that serve children at-risk in our diocese. She encouraged congregations to distribute Bishop’s Fund for Children’s mite boxes in Advent. This year’s winner of the Bishop’s Big Trophy is again Christ Church, Roxbury, for raising the most pledges for the race.

Bishop Ahrens then called upon Jean Handler, Executive Director of Camp Washington and Kent Thomas to present the results of the Hastings Open golf tournament for Camp Washington. Handler referenced her written report that is printed in the delegate packet. She thanked everyone for their support of the Hastings Open. As a result, they were able to give out 27 scholarships totaling $27,000 to allow children to attend Camp Washington. She thanked Tom Bott and the parish of Trinity, Torrington for their financial and volunteer support for the Hastings Open. Handler introduced Kent Thomas, the new chair of the newly renamed Bishops’ Open for Camp Washington. Thomas announced a new venue for next year, Buck’s Landing in Southington. The new, lower price, is $150 per golfer. The date is June 22, 2011.

48 Bishop Ahrens called upon Lynn Brooks, Treasurer, to present the Treasurer’s Report, which is printed in the delegate packet. He asked that a motion be offered to accept the report as printed. It was moved and seconded. The motion carried.

Brooks assured the Convention that the necessary financial policies and procedures are in place and are being followed and that the diocese is financially stable. He noted that the diocesan staff is extremely competent and capable, as is born out in the annual audit reports. He cautioned that the financial strength of the diocese is eroding as we continue to use our reserves to meet our operating expenses, despite the great efforts made by the diocesan staff to manage expenses well below budget year after year. The problem is on the revenue side, where the average pledge from the parishes has been in decline. Brooks welcomed the work of the Mission Discernment Initiative and envisions a very different and freer budget process in the years ahead as a result.

Bishop Ahrens then called upon Secretary Terry to read the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Episcopal Church as required by the 76th General Convention.

RESOLUTIONS REFERRED TO DIOCESES FROM THE 76TH GENERAL CONVENTION January 1, 2010 PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, FIRST READING The following Constitutional amendments shall be read by the Secretary of the Diocesan Convention preceding the final vote at the 77th General Convention in 2012, such reading to be certified by the Diocesan Convention with the Secretary of the General Convention. B015: Amend Constitution Article I.4 Resolved, That lines 3 and 4 and 11 of Article I.4 of the Constitution (page 2) be amended to change the name of the "Convocation of the American Churches in Europe" to "Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe" as follows: Sec. 4 . The Church in each Diocese which has been admitted to union with the General Convention, each area Mission established as provided by Article VI, and the Convocation of the American Episcopal Churches in Europe, shall be entitled to representation in the House of Deputies by not more than four ordained persons, Presbyters or Deacons, canonically resident in the Diocese and not more than four Lay Persons, confirmed adult communicants of this Church, in good standing in the Diocese but not necessarily domiciled in the Diocese; but the General Convention by Canon may reduce the representation to not fewer than two Deputies in each order. Each Diocese, and the Convocation of the American Episcopal Churches in Europe, shall prescribe the manner in which its Deputies shall be chosen. B029: Amend Constitution Article II.2 Resolved, That the 76th General Convention amend Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution of The Episcopal Church as follows: Sec. 2. No one shall be ordained and consecrated Bishop until the attainment of thirty years of age; nor without the consent of a majority of the Standing Committees of all the Dioceses, and the consent of a majority of the Bishops of this Church exercising jurisdiction. But if the election shall have taken place within one hundred twenty days before the meeting of General Convention, the consent of the House of Deputies shall be required in place of that of a majority of the Standing Committees. No one shall be ordained and consecrated Bishop by fewer than three Bishops. D029: Amend Constitution Article VIII Resolved, That the last paragraph of Article VIII of the Constitution is amended by the addition of a final sentence as follows: No minister of such a Church ordained by other than a Bishop, apart from any such ministers

49 designated as part of the Covenant or Instrument by which full communion was established shall be eligible for licensing to officiate under this Article.

Bishop Ahrens then asked if there were any additional reports to be made before the Convention. There were none. She referred delegates to the report packet in their registration materials. Absent objection, all of the other reports printed in the Convention booklet will be accepted, having been presented by title in accordance with the Rule of convention. There was no objection and the reports were accepted by title.

Reports are reprinted from the packet, here:

Bates Lyons and Lynn Brooks returned to the microphones to address questions about the diocesan budget presented earlier. The Rev. Bevan Stanley, Church of the Good Shepherd, Orange asked whether the budget was based upon an assumption that all parishes would give at the 12.5% rate, and, if so, what would happen if parishes failed to do so (ie how many parishes will give above 12.5% to offset those who do not)? Lynn Brooks answered that if parish revenue follows last year’s average rate of 9.3, there would be about a $400,000 shortfall. To offset that shortfall, parish giving would have to increase closer to 10-11%, but not all the way to 12.5%. Brooks further explained that the diocese generally runs under on the expense side, so there is a little bit of room to wiggle.

68 The Rev. Mary Canavan, Christ Church, Stratford, asked how much of the financial reserves of the Diocese are forecast to be used in 2011 and what does that leave us with? Jack Spaeth responded that the auditor’s recommendation is to use zero reserves. We have expended the reserve in past years to balance the budget, but have not used any for the 2011 budget. To make this work, parishes will have to give $4,800,000, which is $800,000 more than in 2010. If parish giving stays at the same 9.3% level as 2010, that would bring in $4,400,000, which would leave us about $400,000 short. Raising parish giving to 11-11.2% would most likely close the gap, according to Spaeth. He spoke to the issue of accountability and stressed the responsibility of the Convention to make sure that the budget that is voted upon will be funded.

The Rev. Nancy Gosling, St James, Glastonbury, asked about whether and how the budget process will be done differently in the future? Bates Lyons answered that the process now allows program directors and the parishes to ask for what they need and why, so that the Program and Budget Committee can make informed decisions about what gets funded and allowed to start, stop, or continue. Lynn Brooks added that this year’s budget is essentially a flat budget, to allow time for the Mission Discernment Initiative to inform budget priorities going forward.

Rose Fichera-Eagen, Christ Church Cathedral Hartford, asked whether the budget includes 1/7 of 1% for the Millennium Development Goals? Lynn Brooks answered yes. She then asked if parishes are giving 1/7 of 1% to the Millennium Development goals in their parish budgets. She received a show of hands from parishes that are doing so and encouraged that 100% of parishes do so.

The Rev. David Norris, Trinity/St. Michael’s, Fairfield and the Rev. Gail Keeney-Mulligan, Chaplain at Seabury Senior Living, Bloomfield presented the next two Witnesses to God’s Mission.

Bishop Ahrens welcomed Bill Thompson, chair of the Insurance Board of the Diocese to speak about the new Denominational Health Plan and its implications for Connecticut. He referred to the following handout in his remarks:

Bishop Ahrens turned the chair back over to Bishop Douglas, who thanked her for her leadership in the morning session.

The Convention then moved on to the debate on resolutions. Bishop Douglas reminded the convention that delegates may speak to the resolutions from two floor microphones, one designated for pro, and one for con. He announced that resolutions would be presented via Powerpoint on the large screen. Any amendments need to be presented to the Secretary in writing, who will then give them to Canon Roccoberton who will type them up on the screen for all to see. Secretary Terry reminded delegates that anyone moving the adoption of a resolution may speak to it for up to five

70 minutes. Any subsequent speakers, either pro or con may speak to it for up to two minutes. Assistant Secretary Amy Welin will serve as the time keeper.

The Rev. Joseph Pace, Chair of the Resolutions Committee, of St. John’s Church, West Hartford, presented the following resolutions:

Resolution #1 – Minimum Salary Schedule for Clergy – 2011

Submitted by: the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council.

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut adopts the following: 2011 MINIMUM SALARY SCHEDULE (For all stipendiary clergy including transitional deacons): The following schedule (w/comparisons from 2006 ff.) has been recommended by the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council at its September 8, 2010 meeting for subsequent presentation to the Diocesan Convention on October 22/23, 2010, for its approval: 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

Social Security allowance: 60% of SE liability of compensation package (See A & B of Item #3, pages 3 & 4) g. Travel/Expense allowance See Below @ h. Continuing 750 750 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,500 Education:

Plus housing and utilities (i.e. church owned housing or suitable housing allowance for clergy owned or rented housing), life insurance with a $75,000 minimum face value in excess of Pension Fund life insurance, Diocesan, denominational health plan compliant comprehensive group medical and dental insurance program for clergy person, and as defined for legal dependents and domestic partners, Church Pension Fund Premiums, and Housing Equity Allowance where applicable.

LEGEND * This salary figure represents a 2.5% increase over the 2010 salary schedule. The figures are based on projections using trends and figures available through 7/31/10. There is no additional base increase built into the increment.

@ The diocesan travel/expense per mile rate of $0.50 (the same as the Federal GSA and IRS rates for 2010) remains the same for 2011 at this juncture. As announced at the ’98 convention and in force since then, the flat travel allowance of prior years was replaced in 2000 with a recommended Accountable Plan Allowance for business related travel and reasonable professional expenses as submitted and documented on a regular basis. For IRS tax purposes, The Personnel Policy Committee recommends that parishes adopt this method of business travel and professional expense and that the parish provides an adequate budget amount to accommodate for this documented expense reimbursement. The committee does

71 not recommend a flat allowance. Mileage rate adjustments will be announced as amended.

! The Continuing Education amount for 2011 is $1,500.00 for continuing education and for a contribution toward the expense of the annual clergy conference. It is not intended as cash compensation but as an offset to actual educational/conference expense. A week of continuing education time away from the parish is an integral part of this allowance. This is a $500.00 increase over 2010, the first increase since 2007 and reflects the escalating costs of conference and tuition driven events.

# Transitional Deacons/Priests first full year rate is for the first year following ordination to the DIACONATE. Beyond that first year, the rate used should be under the category of full time assistant or Priest in Charge as appropriate.

+ From date of Ordination to the Diaconate: Rather than prorating the increase for the exact date of ordination, it is recommended that the incremental step be paid as of January 1st for the entire calendar year. The incremental step applies to Assistants and Priest in Charge.

Merit Increases: There is no recommended policy for merit increases. However, consideration for equity and merit adjustments is encouraged for added job responsibilities and recognition for work well done beyond the expectations outlined in letters of agreement.

*** Explanation: As directed by the vote of the annual Convention, The Executive Council has provided a minimum base for clergy compensation for many years. The annual increment for ordination and the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) is established by this action and becomes the base for both clergy and lay compensation in parishes. Periodic parity adjustments are made as well.

Statement of Requirements to implement the resolution: The action of the 226th convention sets this schedule as the standard for all parishes. There is no extra cost other than the effect of the compensation placement at each parish unit and the compliance discussions between parishes and the Bishop’s office that periodically take place. The funding of those latter interventions is within the confines of the annual operating budget of the diocese.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of the resolution, which was seconded, and called upon Jack Spaeth to present the resolution. Mr. Spaeth said that if there are any extreme fluctuations in the predicted cost of living, the Executive Council will address this at their December meeting and make adjustments as needed. Richard Orr of St. Peter’s, Monroe spoke in opposition to the resolution. The resolution was adopted as presented.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of: Resolution #2 – 2011 Diocesan Budget Submitted by: The Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut adopts the Diocesan Budget for 2011 as proposed, and appended to this resolution.

Explanation: Canon IV Section 6: The Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council shall at

72 each annual meeting of the Diocesan Convention not later than one week prior to the annual meeting submit for its consideration and action, a budget for all the work committed to the Council, including the work of the Deaneries [funding for deaneries was removed from the budget in 1993 by vote of the convention], and such other work as it may have undertaken, or may propose to undertake, for the ensuing calendar year. Provision shall be made in such budget for the necessary expenses of the Council and of its officers. Such budget shall be printed and sent to all the members of the Diocesan Convention not later than one week prior to the annual meeting of the Convention.

Canon II, Section 6: The rate and basis of financial assessments laid by the Convention upon the several Parishes and Mission Stations shall be on a voted by the Annual Diocesan Convention. The Diocesan Executive Council is responsible to present an assessment proposal to the Diocesan Convention for all monies to be raised from Parishes and Mission Stations in the support of budgets adopted by the Convention.

Statement of Requirements to implement the resolution: The Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council via the Finance Committee shall monitor the expense and income flowing in and out of the budget during the year. Staff expense for the bookkeeping and outside audit costs are a part of the annual budget. No additional costs are incurred or anticipated.

The resolution was seconded and the Rev. Pace called upon Bates Lyons, Chair of the Program and Budget Committee and Treasurer Lynn Brooks to speak to the resolution. The Rev. Bevan Stanley spoke in favor of the resolution. The resolution was adopted as presented.

After a fifteen minute break, the Convention reconvened at 10:45am with Bishop James Curry presiding.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of Resolution #3 – Implementation of the Revised System of Ecclesiastical Discipline in the Episcopal Church

Submitted by: Bradford S. Babbitt, Chancellor of the Diocese of Connecticut, Chair of the Constitutions and Canons Committee

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut adopts and implements the revised system of ecclesiastical discipline that was enacted by General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 2009, by repealing Canon IX of the Diocesan Canons as of June 30, 2011 and enacting Canon IX as set forth in the Appendix to this resolution, to be effective on July 1, 2011 (“the Effective Date”); and be it further

RESOLVED: That the following transitional changes be authorized and approved:

73 d. provide that the Ecclesiastical Trial Court shall have a majority of clergy members but by no more than one; 3. The members of the Ecclesiastical Trial Court shall on the Effective Date become the initial members of the Disciplinary Board and the Presiding Judge of the Ecclesiastical Trial Court shall become the first President of the Disciplinary Board.

Explanation: Title IV of the Canons of the Episcopal Church, which governs ecclesiastical discipline, was revised during the last triennium and passed by General Convention in 2009. Each diocese is now charged with adapting and adopting Title IV to meet its own diocesan canons. Title IV of the Canons takes effect on July 1, 2011. The Diocese of Connecticut needs to adopt a new Canon to implement the new provisions of Title IV as of that date. The proposed resolution accomplishes that end, and implements a method by which to transition from the current system to the new disciplinary structure. The text of the new Canon IX is found in the appendix below.

Appendix

CANON IX -- ECCLESIASTICAL DISCIPLINE (REVISED)

Section 1. Intent and Interpretation.

1.01 Relation To Canons of General Convention. This Canon adopts policies, procedures and structures to implement in The Diocese of Connecticut (the “Diocese”) provisions for discipline set forth in Title IV of the Canons of General Convention (“Church Canons”) for priests and deacons who, by their vows at ordination, have accepted both responsibility under and accountability for the doctrine, discipline and worship of The Episcopal Church (the “Church”). In the event any provision of this Canon is in conflict with or inconsistent with Title IV of Church Canons, the provisions of Title IV shall prevail.

1.02 Definitions. The capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in Canon IV.2 of Church Canons unless otherwise defined herein. All references herein to the Bishop shall mean the Bishop Diocesan, or a Bishop Suffragan if specific jurisdiction for matters contemplated by Title IV of Church Canons has been assigned to that Bishop Suffragan.

Section 2. Discipline Structure

2.01 Disciplinary Board. A court to be known as the Disciplinary Board (“Board”) is hereby created for the Diocese of Connecticut, with a membership as set forth below.

a. The Board shall consist of nine (9) members, five (5) of whom are members of the Clergy and four (4) of whom are Laity.

b. The Clergy members of the Board shall be priests or deacons who are geographically resident within the Diocese and who have been canonically resident within the Diocese for at least 3 years.

The term of the member shall commence on the first (1st) day of the year following election. The terms of office of the Board shall be staggered and arranged into three classes. Members of the Board may serve no more than two (2) consecutive, full three-year terms but may be nominated for election to the Board in the second year after the end of that person’s second consecutive term.

Respondent’s Counsel and the Church Attorney shall have the right to challenge any member of a Panel for conflict of interest or undue bias by motion to the Panel for disqualification of the challenged member. The members of the Panel not the subjects of the challenge shall promptly consider the motion and determine whether the challenged Panel member shall be disqualified from participating in that proceeding.

The Bishop may remove any Church Attorney with the advice and consent of the Standing Committee at any time for any cause deemed sufficient by them, in their sole discretion. In the event that the Church Attorney resigns or the position otherwise becomes vacant, the Bishop shall appoint a successor Church Attorney in consultation with the Standing Committee. The Diocese may compensate a Church Attorney for services rendered at a rate described in a written retainer agreement and, whether or not the Church Attorney is compensated, shall reimburse the Church Attorney for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in a proceeding under this Canon.

Each Conference Panel shall consist of at least one member of the clergy.

2.11 Accord. No less than thirty (30) days prior to the issuance of an Accord, the initiating body or party shall notify the Bishop of the intent to issue an Accord and shall confer with the Bishop concerning the proposed terms of the Accord.

3.01 Expenses Generally. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Canon IX, all costs, expenses and fees incurred under Title IV of Church Canons and this Canon IX shall be the obligation of the person incurring them.

3.02 Costs Incurred by the Church. The reasonable costs and expenses of the Board, the Intake Officer, the Investigator, the Church Attorney, the Clerk and the Pastoral Response Coordinator shall be the obligation of the Diocese, subject to budgetary constraints as may be established by Diocesan Executive Council.

3.03 Other Fees and Expenses. In the sole discretion of the Bishop and with the consent of the Standing Committee, the Bishop may recommend to the Diocesan Executive Council the payment by the Diocese of certain reasonable fees and expenses incurred by a Respondent. Except for the provisions of Canon IV.19.23(b) of Church Canons, this Canon shall provide the exclusive procedure and method for reimbursement or payment of costs, expenses and fees incurred in a proceeding under Title IV of Church Canons and this Canon.

Section 4 Records

4.01 Records of Proceedings. Records of active proceedings before the Board, including the period of any pending appeal, shall be preserved and maintained in the custody of the Clerk, if there be one, otherwise by the Intake Officer.

4.02 Permanent Records. The Bishop shall make provision for the permanent storage of records of all proceedings under this Title at the Archives of the Diocese and the Archives of the Episcopal Church, as prescribed in Title IV of the Church Canons.

Requirements To Implement: Currently, it is not clear that the change in the ecclesiastical disciplinary structure and process will result in incremental expense to the Diocese of Connecticut. The Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council, via the Finance Committee, will monitor expenses associated with Title IV proceedings during six months of 2011 in which the new system will be in place. Any material increases in expense that result from the new system and processes associated with Title IV discipline will be included in the budget for the 2012 fiscal year.

The motion was seconded. Chancellor Bradford Babbitt, Chair of the Constitution and Canons Committee was called upon to speak to the resolution. He explained that this resolution implements the necessary changes to our diocesan canons so that we are compliant with the new changes to Title IV enacted by General Convention in 2009.

Brad Babbitt offered an amendment to the resolution, to correct a typo found in the original text, Section 2.01 D (on p. 2 of the resolution). Babbitt moved to strike the word “who” from the 4th line

77 of this section, which was incorrectly and inadvertently added.

The amendment was seconded and carried. The amended text of the resolution now reads:

Section 4 Records

The Rev. Tom White, St. Peter’s, South Windsor and Mr. Ross Ash, St. John’s, West Hartford spoke against the resolution.

The resolution was adopted as amended.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of Resolution # 4 -- On Nuclear disarmament

Submitted by: Social Concerns and Witness Committee

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut urges: the Senate to ratify the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia; the President to submit to the Senate for ratification the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty; and the Congress to oppose funding to increase the capacity to produce new nuclear weapons.

Explanation: It is generally accepted that the increase in the proliferation of nuclear weapons threatens world peace. In recent years the United States has taken an oppositional stance toward nuclear non-proliferation by pressing for sanctions against those nations that are regarded as enemies for developing their nuclear capacity, while expanding our own nuclear capacity and tacitly approving the expansion of nuclear arsenals of nations that are allies. In particular the United States has supported enforcing non-proliferation for Iran but has indicated that we would support Israel’s bombing Iran. This would be an action to further upset any possibility for peace in the Middle East. United States’ policy should be to work for real peace in the Middle East by establishing a Palestinian state. What is clearly needed is to reduce nuclear arms throughout the entire world, under leadership by the United States in such a way that all nations of the world could join, rather than using the possession of nuclear weapons as a means of American dominance of the world. The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty would cut the deployment of strategic nuclear warheads and the 82 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty is intended to stop the production of new nuclear weapons. In any proposal to increase nuclear capacity a clear distinction needs to be made between increasing capacity for nuclear generation of electricity, and increased capacity for producing nuclear weapons.

Requirements to Implement: The Social Concerns and Witness Committee will be responsible for the distribution of this resolution to the President, the President’s National Security Advisor, the delegation from Connecticut to Congress, and the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The motion was seconded. Mr. Archibald Stewart was called upon to speak to the resolution. He received the 2/3 vote necessary to allow him, as a non-member of Convention, to speak. There were no additional speakers. Bishop Curry offered a point of privilege thanking Archibald Stewart for his continued witness as a principled person of peace. The resolution passed.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of Resolution # 5 -- On Withdrawal of United States Troops from Afghanistan

Submitted by: Social Concerns and Witness Committee

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut urges the President, with the support of Congress, to hold to the decision to begin withdrawal of the U.S. armed forces from Afghanistan by July 2011, with all forces out by 2014.

Explanation: The U.S. has had armed forces in Afghanistan since 2002. It should be clear that insurgency cannot be defeated by military action. Unsurprisingly, the Afghan public does not wish to live in the shadows of helicopter gunships overhead, nor to live in fear of bombardment from military-operated drones. The desire for foreign armed forces to leave has only resulted in the Taliban’s ability to recruit ever more insurgents. NATO’s armed intervention in the region has been caught up in regional conflicts between Pakistan and India, and between Israel and the Arab world, affecting the actions of all nations in the region. If the Taliban were substantially defeated, still it would not be clear what this would accomplish for the Afghan people. A people generally living in poverty will not readily build a society in which democracy can flourish. Such societal problems will not be improved by foreign invasion. These must be changed by Afghans themselves, perhaps with resource and encouragement from the outside world. There is little evidence that al-Qaeda terrorists have close ties with the Taliban or that they have been weakened by military action against them. Experience seems to indicate that these can best be can only be dealt with by intelligence information gathered by the nations in which the terrorists live, rather than by foreign occupying forces whom the citizens want to leave.

Requirements to Implement: The Social Concerns and Witness Committee will be responsible for the distribution of this resolution to the President and the delegation from Connecticut to Congress.

The resolution was seconded. The Rev. Peter Bushnell, of the Social Concerns and Witness Committee, and Holy Trinity, Enfield, was called upon to speak to the resolution.

Mr. Donald Miller, St. Paul’s, Southington, spoke against the resolution. He read a statement by a fellow parishioner, Beth Richards, who is currently serving as a university teacher in Afghanistan. John Ehlers, St. Peter’s, Monroe, also spoke against the resolution.

Alan Blume, St. Peter’s, Cheshire, rose to speak in favor of the resolution. He offered the following

83 amendment, to be added to the end of the resolution: “Peace in Afghanistan must be made by Afghans themselves with resources and encouragement from the outside world.” The amendment was seconded. Mr. Blume spoke to his amendment. There was no debate on the amendment. The amendment failed after a vote.

Resolution #5 went to a hand count. 216 in favor. 125 opposed. 58 abstained. The resolution carries.

At this point, the results from the First Ballot of elections for Standing Committee, Provincial Synod and the deputation to the 2012 General Convention were announced.

Standing Committee- Clerical Order The Rev. Gregory W. Welin 213 The Rev. Molly F. James 174 The Rev. G. Welin is elected to the full 5-year term. The Rev. M. James is elected to complete the unexpired 4-year term of a resigned clerical member of the Standing Committee.

Standing Committee- Lay Order Danielle A. Gaherty 112 Nancy A. Noyes 258 blank ballots 17 Ms. Noyes has been elected to the full 5-year term. Ms. Gaherty will fulfill the unexpired term of a resigned lay member of the Standing Committee.

General Convention- Lay Order Elizabeth Anderson 216* Lynn A. Brooks 206* Richard Hall 124 #4 Mary Hart 214* Steven Horst 173 #2 Lyn R. Meyers 179 #1 Ted Mollegen 230* Steven Sukovich 124 #3 * Elected Deputy # Elected supplemental deputy in order of votes received

General Convention- Clergy Order The Rev. Dr. James Bradley 175 The Rev. David Cobb 152 The Rev. Alex Dyer 186 The Rev. Dr. Joseph Krasinski 137 The Rev. Canon Erik Larsen 185 The Very Rev. Mark Pendleton 206* The Rev. Linda Spiers 271* The Rev. Ellen Tillotson 247* *Elected Deputy on this ballot. Rules of Order stipulate that in order to be elected on the first ballot, a person must receive a majority of the votes cast (that is 50% + 1 or 201 votes). A second ballot was distributed to elect the fourth clerical deputy to General Convention.

The Rev. Margaret Minnick, Holy Trinity, Middletown, rose for a Point of Order. She asked how long a nominee needed to be a member of the Diocese of Connecticut in order to run for General Convention deputy, given that one of the nominees has been in Connecticut for less than a month and the nominations were closed at the beginning of September. Bishop Curry explained that the Standing Committee was responsible for making additional nominations past the deadline to ensure enough nominees for the number of positions. The Chancellor responded that there is no required length of residency in the Diocese to be nominated for General Convention deputy.

Debate upon resolutions resumed while ballots were counted.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of Resolution #6 -- Solidarity with Colombian Refugees in Ecuador

Submitted by: Ms. Grace Barnum, St. James-New London; The Rev’d Michel Belt, St. James-New London; Ms. Ann Cady, St. David’s-Gales Ferry; The Rev’d Canon David L. Cannon, Bishop Seabury-Groton; Mr. Allan Dierman, St. David’s-Gales Ferry; The Rev’d Joan Phelps, Christ Episcopal Church-Norwich; Mr. Barry Runyan, St. James-New London; The Rev’d Mark Santucci, St. Mark’s-Mystic; Mr. George Warner, St. James-Poquetanuck

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut affirms its solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of Colombians who have been forced to flee their homes for another country due to civil conflict; and be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention affirms its solidarity with the Episcopal Church of Ecuador- Central Diocese which strives to alleviate the continued suffering Colombian refugees experience through a small relief program; and be it further

Explanation: In February, 2010, the Executive Council of The Episcopal Church affirmed its solidarity with the Episcopal Church of Colombia and the Episcopal Church of Ecuador-Central Diocese when it approved Resolution WM010 (see Appendix below) at their meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. Just by passing this resolution, the Executive Council gave Ana White, the government representative for The Episcopal Church, the basis for her to advocate for Colombian displaced peoples and to advocate, in Congress and the State Department, for a more just treatment and a peaceful resolution to the decades-old conflict in Colombia.

In addition, this work has the approval of Bishop Luis Fernando Ruiz-Restrepo of The Episcopal Church of Ecuador-Central Diocese and Bishop Francisco Duque-Gomez of the Episcopal Church of Columbia.

Appendix: Executive Council of The Episcopal Church’s approved Resolution SM010: Whereas, The Executive Council affirmed its solidarity with the Episcopal Church of Colombia in the midst of the continuing civil war being perpetuated in Colombia, as stated in Resolution INC 29, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, October 2002; and Whereas, The situation in Colombia continues to be one of civil strife causing great human tragedy for all segments of Colombia’s society, and which has caused the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Colombians fearful for their lives; and Whereas, The Biblical imperatives call us to care for the stranger and sojourner, and we are assured by Jesus “that inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these you have done it unto me...” be it

85 Resolved, That the Executive Council affirms its solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of Colombians that had been forced to flee their homes for another country, and with the Episcopal Church of Central Ecuador which strives to alleviate the continued suffering Colombian refugees experience through a relief program; and be it further Resolved, That the Episcopal Church urges the United States government to commence a generous program of resettlement for those who cannot return to Colombia because their lives are in danger and are unable to integrate or remain in need of protection in Ecuador; and be it further Resolved, That the Episcopal Church urges the United States government to work with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and other organizations to assist host countries providing adequate funding, especially Ecuador to where the vast majority of Colombian refugees have fled, to respond to the critical situation that refugees find themselves there; and be it further Resolved, That the Episcopal Church urges the United States government to press for negotiations between the government and opposing forces in order to reach a peaceful and just end to the civil war; and be it further Resolved, That the Episcopal Church voices her strong opposition to the construction or lease of new or existing military bases in Colombia by the United States military for the stated purpose of assisting the Colombian government in their continued civil conflict against opposition forces, whereas the Episcopal Church believes that it will only intensify the conflict and create more tensions with other South American countries.

Requirements to Implement: There will be no cost—time or material—associated with the Resolution, other than the time spent by the proposers of the Resolution notifying our Congressional and Senatorial representatives. The Episcopal Church of Ecuador-Central Diocese will use this to support their work, as they too encourage both governments—Ecuador and United States—to increase support for refugees.

The resolution was seconded. The Rev. J. Pace offered an amendment to correct a typo in the second resolved clause. He proposed striking the final “and be it further” and putting instead a period after the word program. The amendment was seconded and carried.

The amended paragraph now reads: RESOLVED: That this Convention affirms its solidarity with the Episcopal Church of Ecuador- Central Diocese which strives to alleviate the continued suffering Colombian refugees experience through a small relief program.

The Rev. Michel Belt, of St. James, New London, was invited to speak to the resolution.

Richard Orr, St. Peter’s Monroe, rose to speak in favor of the resolution and offered an amendment to add the Diocese of Litoral to the resolution. This would include both Episcopal dioceses in Ecuador, the Diocese of Ecuador-Central and the Diocese of Litoral. The amendment was seconded and approved.

The second resolved phrase now reads: RESOLVED: That this Convention affirms its solidarity with the Episcopal Church of Ecuador- Central Diocese and the Episcopal Diocese of Litoral, which strive to alleviate the continued suffering Colombian refugees experience through a small relief program.

Will Cleaver, St. Peter’s, Oxford spoke in favor of the amended resolution.

The amended resolution passes.

The Rev. Joe Pace moved the adoption of:

Resolution #7 – Support and Advocacy of Colombian Refugees in Ecuador

Submitted by: Ms. Grace Barnum, St. James-New London; The Rev’d Michel Belt, St. James- New London; Ms. Ann Cady, St. David’s-Gales Ferry; The Rev’d Canon David L. Cannon, Bishop Seabury-Groton; Mr. Allan Dierman, St. David’s-Gales Ferry; The Rev’d Joan Phelps, Christ Episcopal Church-Norwich; Mr. Barry Runyan, St. James-New London; The Rev’d Mark Santucci, St. Mark’s-Mystic; Mr. George Warner, St. James-Poquetanuck

RESOLVED: That the 226th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut urges the United States government to press for negotiations between the Colombian government and opposing forces in order to reach a peaceful and just end to the decades-long civil war; and be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention voices opposition to the construction or lease of new or existing military bases in Colombia by the United States military for the stated purpose of assisting the Colombian government in its continued civil conflict against opposition forces, whereas the Episcopal Church believes that it will only intensify the conflict and create more tension with other South American countries; and be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention urges the United States government to commence a generous program of resettlement for those who cannot return to Colombia because their lives are in danger and are unable to integrate or remain in need of protection in Ecuador; and be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention urges the United States government to work with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and other organizations to assist host countries providing adequate funding, especially Ecuador where the vast majority of Colombian refugees have fled, to respond to the critical situation in which refugees find themselves.

Explanation: The civil conflict in Colombia continues to produce an alarming number of internally and externally displaced persons, despite billions of dollars of security and aid committed to Colombia from the United States government. The Diocese of Connecticut, along with the Episcopal Church, desires that funds rather be spent in seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and to assist these displaced persons wherever they may be found. The Episcopal Church of Ecuador-Central Diocese seeks to alleviate the difficult situation in which Colombian refugees find themselves through a small relief program, but the Diocese of Connecticut asks that the United States government shoulder more of the burden through UNHCR (the United Nations High Commission for Refugees) which serves the needs and advocates for the thousands of refugees in Ecuador. Note also the text of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church's approved Resolution SM010 printed in the Appendix of Resolution 6 above.

The resolution was seconded. The Rev. Michel Belt, St. James, New London, was invited to speak to the resolution.

Mr. James Honare, St. James, New Haven, the Rev. José Martinez, Church of the Good Shepherd, Hartford, Ms. Grace Barnum, St. James, New London, Mr. Richard Orr, St. Peter’s, Monroe spoke in favor of the resolution. Mr. Andrew Bravo, St. Paul’s, Wallingford, and the Rev. Emiliano Amat spoke against it.

The resolution passes.

The results of the second ballot for Clerical deputy for General Convention 2012 were announced. The Rev. Alex Dyer of St. Paul & St. James, New Haven was elected the forth clergy deputy. The entire slate of deputies elected at this Convention for the 77th General Convention: Clergy Deputies: The Rev. Linda Spiers, Chair of the Deputation The Rev. Ellen Tillotson The Very Rev. Mark B. Pendleton The Rev. Alex Dyer Clerical Alternates: The Rev. Canon Erik Larsen The Rev. Dr. James G. Bradley The Rev. David C. Cobb The Rev. Dr. Joseph A. Krasinski Lay Deputies: Mr. A. Theodore (Ted) Mollegen, Jr. Ms. Elizabeth (Liza) L. Anderson Ms. Mary Hart Mr. Lynn A. Brooks Lay Alternates: Mr. Lyn R. Meyers Mr. Steven Horst Mr. Steven Sukovich Mr. Richard L. Hall

After a few brief announcements, the Convention stood in recess for lunch and returned at 1:30pm.

Bishop Douglas reconvened the Convention and invited the Rev. Norman McLeod, St. John’s, Waterbury and Ms. Kayla Gonzales of Trinity, Wethersfield to share two more Stories of Self. Bishop Douglas gave thanks for all eight people who offered their stories and hoped that they would serve as an inspiration to all of us as we begin to share our stories of involvement in God’s mission.

The Committee on the Bishop’s Address offered an additional Resolution, introduced as Resolution #8. The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of the Resolution and urged its passing.

BE IT RESOLVED that the 226th Annual Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut commends the call of the Right Reverend Ian T. Douglas to enter into a Mission Discernment Initiative so that we may more fully discover our common life and common action in God’s mission.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Convention commits to support the Mission Discernment Initiative through every local Eucharistic community, and every community of

88 practice;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this initiative be funded by the Diocesan Budget.

No one came forward to speak to the resolution and it was passed.

The Rev. Joseph Pace introduced a Resolution of Courtesy that addresses the fire yesterday which destroyed Immanuel Chapel at Virginia Theological Seminary. The Bishop asked if there was any objection to allow the resolution to be considered, since it was received after the deadline. There being none offered, the Rev. Jonathan Folts was invited to present and speak to the resolution.

BE IT RESOLVED that the clergy and laity of this 226th Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut convey to the Very Reverend Ian Markham and the full community of Virginia Theological Seminary and its alumni, our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy regarding the loss of Immanuel Chapel. In the midst of this destruction, may our compassionate God bring resurrection; and in the midst of our sadness, may our shared resolve to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel never be shaken. Ted Mollegen of St. James, Glastonbury, rose to offer an amendment to add the words, “…and friends and to the congregation of Immanuel-Church-on-the-Hill” between the words “alumni” and “our heartfelt prayers.” The amendment was seconded and carried.

Dean Mark Pendleton, the Rev. Peter Powell of Christ and the Holy Trinity, Westport, and the Rev. Betsy Tesi spoke in favor of the amended resolution. The Rev. John Carter, St. John’s, Salisbury suggested that a special offering from this Convention be made to VTS to accompany this resolution and our prayers. Bishop Douglas agreed and suggested that instead of today’s offering being split between IRIS and the Bishops’ Fund for Human Need, half go to IRIS and half go to VTS.

The amended resolution passed. The amended and passed resolution now reads:

BE IT RESOLVED that the clergy and laity of this 226th Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut convey to the Very Reverend Ian Markham and the full community of Virginia Theological Seminary and its alumni, and friends, and to the members of the congregation of Immanuel Church- on-the-Hill, our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy regarding the loss of Immanuel Chapel. In the midst of this destruction, may our compassionate God bring resurrection; and in the midst of our sadness, may our shared resolve to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel never be shaken.

Bishop Douglas thanked the convention for this resolution and for the stories and remembrances of Immanuel Chapel that were shared during the debate.

The Rev. Sharon Gracen was recognized as the new rector of Trinity, Branford. Her name was omitted yesterday.

Bishop Douglas announced that Canon Jack Spaeth will be receiving an award at the upcoming Ripple Awards of Connecticut Interfaith Power and Light at the First Church of Christ, Middletown, on November 21, 2-4pm. The award recognizes Jack for his exemplary Christian commitment to our environment.

Bishop Douglas offered thanks to the Convention planners and Chancellor, Secretary and Assistant Secretaries and tellers. He thanked the Bishops Suffragan for serving with him as co-presidents throughout this Convention.

89 The Convention stood in recess for ten minutes to prepare the Cathedral for our celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

The 226th Annual Convention concluded with the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist for God’s Mission and the Faithfulness of the Church. A carved stone, to commemorate the Episcopate of the Right Reverend Andrew Donnan Smith, Fourteenth Bishop of Connecticut (1990-2010), and presented by the Episcopal Church Women, was dedicated during the Eucharist. The Rt. Rev. James E Curry was the preacher.

The Convention adjourned with the blessing and dismissal at the conclusion of the Eucharist.
