Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference The United Methodist Church

held at the Salem Convention Center Salem, Oregon

June 12-14, 2014

Bishop Grant Hagiya, Presiding

Laura Jaquith Bartlett, Secretary THANK YOU

In this second year of editing the Conference Journal, I hope I made fewer errors than I did the first year! I did notice that my familiarity with all things Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference has increased tremendously. As with all things, we learn best by doing. The Conference Journal is an amazing compendium of information and I recommend it to you as a source for answers and fascinating facts. The information in the Journal is collected by many persons throughout the Annual Conference, some Conference Staff and some clergy and lay persons who take on these crucial tasks in addition to their regular callings. The editor of the Journal is dependent upon the work of many others. This year those persons included Ted Wimer, Belinda Denicola, Sandra Reinemer, Warren Light, Jeanne Knepper, Brian Shimer, Todd Bartlett, Gay Jeffery, Kay Burdick, Barbara Collins, Charlotte Hartman, Greg Nelson, Becky DeLurey, Lisa Pronovost, Jerryn Johnston, Kim Fields and, of course, Laura Jaquith Bartlett as Conference Secretary. I want to express my deepest appreciation for your work, as well as your encouragement and support. Editorial decisions are made in the hopes of providing you with a reference book that is currently useful, but also creating an historical document which will provide information for generations yet to come. As a current reference, this print Journal is best used in partnership with the Annual Conference website: www.umoi. org and in consultation with the district offices. Membership of boards and agencies can change between Annual Conference Sessions, as can individual’s contact information. The website and your district office can provide you with the most up-to-date information. As editor, I take responsibility for any errors. Please let me hear from you with any suggestions or corrections. To update information in the directories, please contact your district office. Linda Grund-Clampit, editor

This Journal is established by the Annual Conference as its official record for 2014.

Biography of Bishop Grant Hagiya

Bishop Grant Hagiya is currently serving as the Resident Bishop of the new “Greater Northwest Area” (Encompassing the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho, and Pacific Northwest Annual Conferences). He currently chairs the Ministry Study Commission for the 2012-2016 quadrennial. He is leading the new Task Force for the Council of Bishops that is designing and implementing the Residential Bishops Learning Retreat for learning and leadership. His national assignment is to the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.

Bishop Hagiya is a graduate of the Claremont School of Theology, where he received his M.A., M.Div., and D.Min. degrees. He graduated with an Educational Doctorate in Organizational Lead- ership at Pepperdine University in 2012. His dissertation was on the traits, qualities and characteristics of highly effective UMC clergy. Abingdon has publishing a book based on this research entitled “Leadership Kaizen: How To Become a Better Church Leader.” His research area is in applying secular leadership theory, practice and change management to the structures and future development of the Christian Church. He recently completed a Harvard-Kennedy School course on Adaptive Leadership with Marty Linsky and Ron Heifetz.

Bishop Hagiya has served as a full time Professor at the Claremont School of Theology, teaching in the area of Religion and Society and Urban Ministries. He has remained as an Adjunct Professor at Claremont for the last 25 years.

Bishop Hagiya currently serves as the Executive Director of the new Bishop Jack and Marjorie Tuell Center of Leadership Excellence. The Tuell Center will provide leadership development for the Greater Northwest Area, with the hope to expand its services to the entire Western Jurisdiction, and global church.

Prior to his election to the episcopacy, he served as the Sr. Pastor at churches in Berkeley, Gardena, and Los Angeles, California as well as the Los Angeles District Superintendent and Dean of the Appointed Cabinet of the California Pacific Annual Conference. His most recent pre-Episcopal appointment was as the Executive Director of the Center for Leadership Excellence, a joint position between the California-Pacific Annual Conference and the Claremont School of Theology, where he served as the Director of Leadership for the annual conference and a faculty member at the Claremont School of Theology.

Bishop Hagiya has served as a General and Jurisdictional Conference delegate since 1996, and was the head of his annual conference delegation to General Conference in 2000.

He is a trained mediator, receiving most of his training through the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center.

Grant is married to Janet, a high school librarian, and has three children, Lexie, working in education at the University of Southern California; Jamie, a professional basketball player who recently opened up her own Cross fit gym with her sister; and Trent, a student at California State University, Dominguez. He enjoys all forms of sports, and holds a Sandan (third degree black belt) in Kenpo Karate, having studied martial arts from his elementary school days. 6 Conference Staff

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY For Conference & District Events of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church

INTRODUCTION Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will find the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive. But, we know that abuse occurs in churches, large and small, urban and rural. It is a problem, which cuts across all economic, cultural, and racial lines. In April 1996, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in the church. It was renewed by the 2004 General Conference (Resolution 65, “Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in Churches, pg. 201, 2004 Book of Resolutions). As Christians we must take our responsibilities to our children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. While we may not be able to completely prevent abuse in every situation, it is possible for us to greatly reduce the risk by following a policy of prevention. We are responsible to create an environment of safe sanctuary for children, youth and vulnerable adults, and those who work with them. Thus we establish this Abuse Prevention Policy to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the safety of all our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

PURPOSE It is the purpose of this policy to 1) protect from abuse the children, youth, and vulnerable adults that participate in church activities, and 2) protect our staff, both paid and volunteer, from unfounded and/ or malicious allegations of abuse through a comprehensive plan that includes: screening, training, supervision, reporting procedures, and a response plan.

SCOPE This policy shall be applicable to all Conference and District activities or events involving children, youth, and vulnerable adults within ministry settings of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. 26 Conference Policies

DEFINITIONS • Abuse: Intentional negligent or reckless treatment by a volunteer or staff person that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. Child Abuse – an act committed by a parent, care giver or person in a position of trust which is not accidental and which harms or threatens a child’s physical or mental health or a child’s welfare. Physical Abuse – When an adult injures a child other by accident, including, assault, shaking, slapping, burning, scalding, kicking, and strangling. Sexual Abuse – Sexual contact between an adult or other significantly older, more powerful person and a child, youth, and vulnerable adult. Includes behavior such as inappropriate verbal stimulation, taking or showing sexually explicit photos of or to a child, or exposing a child to pornography or adult sexual activity. Emotional Abuse – verbal assault or emotional cruelty that effects a child’s self esteem. • Adult: a person 18 years old or older. • Activities: any activity or programs in which children, youth, or vulnerable adults are under supervision of staff persons or volunteers. • Background Checks: Researching references and records for indications of past or potential abusive and/or criminal activity. • Child: person from birth until they turn 12 years old. • Conference: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. • District: The level of church organization between the Conference and the local church. There are five Districts in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference; Central, Eastern, Metropolitan, Southern, and Western. • Ministry setting: (To be defined) • Person-in-Charge (PIC): Staff person or volunteer who is the person responsible for the event or activity. • Staff person: any person employed by the Conference or District that is responsible for activities involving children, youth, or vulnerable adults. • Volunteer: a person who assists in conducting activities under the supervision of person(s) in charge. • Vulnerable Adults: any person 18 years of age or older with diminished physical, mental, or emotional capacities. • We: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. • Youth: any person 12 years old to his/her 18th birthday.

SCREENING PROCEDURES Careful screening can be important to the prevention of abuse. It provides some assurance that the most reliable, committed and experienced staff and volunteers are in place for every program that involves children, youth, and vulnerable adults. The following are the MINIMUM standards: 1. All adults, volunteer or staff persons, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults shall be required to complete the “Voluntary Disclosure” form. 2. Minimum background screenings shall include:

a) Reference checks from Voluntary Disclosure form. b) Review of the Oregon and Idaho lists of sexual offenders or State or National criminal background checks. 3. The policy shall be implemented in the following manner: a) All staff persons and volunteers, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults will submit to the screening procedures. Conference Policies 27

b) The screening procedure shall be repeated every five years. c) The person in charge of the event and/or their designee is responsible for review and approving each application before a person’s service begins. d) All records are confidential and will be maintained for a period of at least five years.

SUPERVISION Competent and trained staff and volunteers are important to any event. The procedures described below are designed to reduce the possibility of abuse to children, youth and vulnerable adults, and to protect staff persons and volunteers from unfounded accusations.

The following are MINIMUM standards and each event may adopt more stringent requirements if necessary. 1. Training is required for all persons having direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults. Training shall include an annual orientation that includes information about this Policy, supervision of children, youth, and vulnerable adults, and identification and reporting of abuse. 2. All children, youth, and vulnerable adults will be supervised by adults. No adult will be alone with any one child, youth or vulnerable adult out of sight of others. 3. No person shall supervise any group of children or youth unless he/she is AT LEAST 5 years older than the children or youth.

REPORTING Once an incident of abuse is recognized, it is crucial that it be dealt with speedily and in a clearly outlined manner. The adult who observes or hears of an alleged abuse shall: 1. Assure the safety of the victim. Take whatever the victim says very seriously. Make sure that the victim is in a safe place and watched over. Do not confront the accused abuser with anger or hostility but immediately remove him/ her from further involvement with children and youth until the matter can be investigated. Notify the proper authorities. 2. If there is a situation of immediate risk call the police at 911, otherwise follow the procedure as listed below: a) Report the incident immediately to the Person-in-Charge (PIC) of the event or activity in which the incident occurred. b) The PIC shall: i) Ascertain the details needed to make an accurate report. This report must be made within 24 hours. The report should include the following information if obtainable: • The name, address, age and sex of the alleged victim; • The name and address of the alleged victim’s parents or other person responsible for his/her care; • The nature and extent of the alleged abuse or neglect; • Any evidence of previously known or suspected abuse or neglect of the alleged victim or their siblings; • The name, address and relationship, if known, of the person who is alleged to have perpetrated the abuse or neglect; and • Any other information known to the person making the report that would be helpful to the investigation of the alleged abuse. ii) Contact the appropriate State or law enforcement agency as soon as possible to file the abuse report and provide the aforementioned information and follow the instructions of the agency. iii) Notify one of those trained and designated by the Conference to respond to reports of abuse as listed in the Crisis Communications Plan. The alleged perpetrators of the abuse will be required to refrain from all events involving children, youth and vulnerable adults until the incident report is resolved. In any removal of a person from any activities, care must be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is being conducted. 28 Conference Policies

RESPONSE PLAN • A quick, compassionate and unified response to an alleged incident of abuse is expected. All allegations will be taken seriously. In all cases of reported or observed abuse in an activity, the entire staff of that activity shall be at the service of all official investigating agencies. • Follow the procedures outlined in the Crisis Communications Plan, When a Crisis Strikes…Are You Ready? • Pastoral support shall be available and offered to all persons involved with the incident.

TRAINING The Conference shall develop and implement training and orientation procedures for persons in leadership who work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults in local ministry settings within the Annual Conference. Training shall include but is not limited to this policy and its related procedures.

POLICY REVIEW

All abuse prevention policies will be reviewed annually.

CONCLUSION In all of our ministries we are committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child, youth, and vulnerable adult is “surrounded by steadfast love…established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II,United Methodist Hymnal, pg 44). This policy and associated procedures are effective as of July 1, 2008. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis in a manner determined by the Conference Leadership Team. Modifications will be made subject to the approval of the Conference Leadership Team. All such modifications will be promptly conveyed in writing to all persons affected by the modification.

Adopted June 2008

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY Abuse Prevention Policies of Local Ministry Settings

All local ministry settings of the annual conference shall have an Abuse Prevention (aka “Safe Sanctuaries”) Policy.

All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s official Safe Sanctuaries policy, unless approval for an alternative policy is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s office. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s office, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed policy [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the policy submitted or instructions to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s official Safe Sanctuaries policy. Conference Policies 29

Ministry settings are already required to provide their Safe Sanctuaries policy to the District Superintendent. The District Superintendents or their designees with support through the Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator will continue to review Safe Sanctuaries policies. If the policy submitted does not comply with minimum standards of legal requirements, the ministry will be contacted to either update their policy or to use the Template, whichever would more simply help reach the goals of compliance and coherence.

All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to use the following forms provided on the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference website: 1. Voluntary Disclosure Form, 2. Waiver and Release, and 3. Incident Report; unless approval for use of alternative forms is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s office. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s office, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed form [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the form submitted or instructions to use the form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website.

SAFE SANCTUARIES: ABUSE RISK REDUCTION AND PREVENTION POLICY

[Name of Ministry]

INTRODUCTION DO NOT COPY ITALICIZED WORDS IN THIS DOCUMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, DO NOT COPY THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE: This section is an opportunity to contain opening comments about concerns for and commitment to, the safety of our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.1

1We encourage congregations to share in a process that seeks scriptural and/or denominational context in recognizing that:

God cares for all. God suffers when children, youth, and vulnerable adults suffer. The United Methodist church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God. As a congregation, [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulnerable and support for survivors of sexual violence. This SAFE SANCTUARIES: ABUSE RISK REDUCTION AND PREVENTION POLICY is a core missional statement of this congregation. This section is an opportunity to highlight the above statements or similar ones coming out of this process. 30 Conference Policies

PURPOSE & SCOPE Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will find the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive. But, we know that abuse occurs in churches, large and small, urban and rural. It is a reality which cuts across all economic, cultural, and racial lines. In April 1996, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in the church. It was renewed by the 2004 General Conference (Resolution 65, “Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in Churches, pg. 201, 2004 Book of Resolutions).

As Christians we must take our responsibilities to our children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. While policies alone may not be able to completely prevent all harm, sexual abuse can be prevented. We as the people of [Name of Ministry] are dedicated to preventing child abuse within our ministry and within our community.

In OR, for example, abuse is present when permitting a child to enter or remain in a place where methamphetamines are being manufactured. See ORS 163.537. 4 Generally, in sexual abuse, a significantly older, more powerful person initiates the behavior. However, please note that prevention also includes preventing peer abuse, including behavior such as inappropriate words or gestures, taking or showing sexually explicit photos of or to a child or youth, or exposing a child or youth to pornography or adult sexual activity. Abuse also occurs in similar situations regarding vulnerable adults where meaningful consent is unlikely. Conference Policies 31

5 Many professionals who work in the field understand Prevention as applied in three phases: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Prevention of Sexual Abuse/Assault. Primary prevention engages everyone to keep sexual violence from happening. See the Center for Disease Control, Sexual Violence Prevention: Beginning the Dialogue, page 3 or link at http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/svprevention-a.pdf 6 Primary prevention work is cultural change consistent with the Gospel: God loves each person as God’s own. Often referred to as “moving upstream,” primary prevention directs us “upstream” to locate the place where the potential for victimization is created through social inequity. This concept is captured in the “Three Sisters” story, as told by Lisa Brunner from the Sacred Spirits First Nations Coalition’s “Three Sisters” story, recorded by Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence in 2012 and located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iIyvmXQ3JI Each sister represents a stage of prevention: Primary (preventing the violence before it occurs), Secondary (responding in the crisis including bystander intervention); and Tertiary (addressing the longer term impacts of the violence and supporting survivors through trauma).

Any such participant shall have the same immunity with respect to participating in any judicial proceeding resulting from such report.” Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. §419B.025 13 Each state has a class of individuals who must report child abuse to the authorities if they are aware of it.

This law applies to everyone. Anyone who suspects child abuse, neglect, or abandonment should make a child protection report. A report should be made if you see evidence of physical abuse or neglect of a child.” http://211.idaho.gov/elibrary/childabuse.html

14 [Name of Ministry] will file the appropriate report. However, under no circumstances will staff or volunteers will take it upon themselves to launch an investigation outside of the general inquiry needed to write an incident report.

Sexual Ethics Policy For Clergy1 of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Statement of Policy: Clergy and employees of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church shall not engage in sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment.

Theological Foundation2 The 2004 Book of Discipline states in ¶161(G) the following. “We recognize that sexuality is God’s good gift to all persons. We believe persons may be fully human only when that gift is acknowledged and affirmed by themselves, the church, and society. We call all persons to the disciplined, responsible fulfillment of themselves, others, and society in the stewardship of this gift.We reject all sexual expressions that damage or destroy the humanity God has given us as birthright, and we affirm only that sexual expression that enhances that same humanity. We believe that sexual relations where one or both partners are exploitive, abusive, or promiscuous are beyond the parameters of acceptable Christian behavior and are ultimately destructive to individuals, families, and the social order.” Sexual misconduct involves a misuse of the gift of sexuality. Acts that should signify the intimacy of a committed relationship between equal partners instead are tainted with ambivalence, confusion, guilt and sometimes fear. Secrecy, which often accompanies such acts, only reinforces these feelings and further signals that there is something “wrong” with the relationship. Sexual misconduct within a ministerial relationship leaves the victim bearing a burden of trauma attached to their expression of sexuality. Victims are thus robbed of the joyous celebration of the sacredness and dignity of their sexuality. God entrusts the workers in the church with the responsibilities of sharing both Holy love and the Divine Word. Our sexual behavior, like any of our behaviors, must comply with the highest standards of a Christ-like life. We in the church are expected to live in covenant with each other and hold each other to those standards. By being speakers of the Truth, persons are offered freedom and redemption and God’s Grace can be employed for restoration of right relationships and alternative paths.

Definitions Clergy: Clergy membership of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference consists of Deacons and Elders in full connection, probationary members, associate members, affiliate members, local pastors and retired members within the meaning of ¶602.1 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Clergy Relationship - A clergy relationship exists between a clergy person and any other person (i) when the other person is a parishioner of a congregation to which that clergy person was previously or is currently appointed, (ii) when the other person is supervised by, is a colleague with or receives ministry from a clergy person serving in any function for which he or she was ordained, licensed, hired or approved by the Annual Conference or its representatives, (iii) when a clergy person uses the authority of the clergy office or role in establishing a relationship with the other person, and (iv) when the other person is a member of a community which recognizes the authority of the clergy person as a person in ministry (i.e. appointments beyond the local church and honorable location, retirement, leaves of absence and other situations in which a clergy person serves a community other than a local congregation). Clergy Sexual Misconduct: Clergy sexual misconduct occurs whenever a clergy person initiates or allows any sexual contact or behavior with a person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship and includes, but is not limited to, sexual abuse and sexual harassment. This includes the chargeable offenses listed in ¶2702 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Clergy sexual misconduct must be understood primarily as an issue of the abuse of the power, trust, and status inherently present in any clergy relationship rather than an issue of the sexual Conference Policies 37

morality of an individual clergy person. An inherent imbalance of power exists in any clergy relationship simply through the clergy role and totally separate from the clergy person’s character, personality and style of ministry. A similar imbalance of power can also exist when one clergy supervises another clergy. The same sacred trust inherent in ordination, consecration and licensing that makes effective ministry possible leaves persons in clergy relationships open and vulnerable. This predisposes those persons to believe that clergy shall act only in ways that will contribute to their well-being. The only appropriate and acceptable clergy response to the trust and power given to clergy through their role is ministry to the emotional, spiritual and temporal needs of those who come to them for help. A single clergy person may be involved in a romantic relationship within the parameters discussed in the following section. Clergy Sexual Misconduct In Context of Single Clergy Romantic Relationship- A single clergy person engaging in a romantic relationship with a single person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship does not necessarily commit sexual misconduct. The clergy person must be aware of the inherent imbalance of power that he or she has in this type of clergy relationship and take full responsibility for the related potential for harm. A single clergy person entering into this type of relationship bears the burden of demonstrating that there has been no exploitation in the relationship, in light of all relevant factors, including the personal history and mental status of the other person and the likelihood of an adverse impact on the person or on others. A clergy person should refrain from entering into a romantic relationship with a person with whom he or she currently has a pastoral counseling relationship. Should a pastoral counseling need arise for a person with whom the clergy person is romantically involved, that clergy person would make recommendations of two or three choices for pastoral or other professional counselors. Neither shall a single clergy person enter into a romantic relationship with a person whom he or she has had a pastoral counseling relationship for at least two years after cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling (consistent with the American Psychological Association Code of Ethics of 1992). The clergy person who engages in such activity after the two years following cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling relationship bears the burden of demonstration that there has been no exploitation, in light of all relevant factors, including the amount of time that has passed since the pastoral counseling relationship terminated, the nature and duration of the pastoral counseling, the circumstances of termination, the personal history of the counselee and others and any statements or actions made by the clergy person during the course of the pastoral counseling suggesting or inviting the possibility of a post-termination romantic relationship with the counselee. Sexual Abuse: The laws of both the States of Idaho and Oregon contain definitions of SexualAbuse. These legal descriptions constitute the primary definitions of SexualAbuse used in this policy. (See ORS 163 & Idaho Statues 18-1506). In Summary, Sexual Abuse is an actual or attempted sexual invasion of the body by force and without full consent. Sexual abuse is any of, but not limited to, the following: rape, sexual assault (a forced sexual act against one’s will), incest, indecent exposure, statutory rape, involuntary, voluntary, or deviant sexual intercourse with a child, promotion of prostitution, pornography with children, indecent assault, and aggravated indecent assault. “Sexual abuse” as used in this policy is not limited to those matters that are defined as crimes by the states of Idaho and Oregon, nor are any of the specific elements that make certain activities crimes under the criminal codes of the states of Idaho and Oregon necessary to prove sexual abuse for the purposes of this policy. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is any sexually related behavior that is unwanted, offensive or which fails to respect the rights of others. This behavior includes any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor or relationship and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment and/ or which is based on gender discrimination and/or perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating or coercive. Sexual harassment can consist of a single intense or severe act or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts. There are many possible scenarios in sexual harassment situations. Each situation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Types of unwanted conduct that constitute 38 Conference Policies

sexual harassment as listed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission include (but are not limited to): 1. Unsolicited and unnecessary touching, pinching, patting or closeness. 2. Sexist remarks about a person’s body or clothing. 3. Sexually degrading words to describe a person. 4. Repeated propositions or explicit demands for sexual activity. 5. Sexually suggestive pictures or objects in the work place or gathering place for the group or activity. 6. Judging a person by looks or body instead of ability. 7. Unsolicited suggestive looks or leers. 8. Unsolicited attempt to fondle or kiss. 9. Unsolicited sexual comments, teasing or telling of jokes with sexual context. 10. Unsolicited letters, calls or materials of a sexual nature. 11. Offer to use influence in return for sexual favor. Pastoral Counseling - Pastoral counseling is the special dimension of ministry in which a clergy person utilizes a variety of counseling perspectives and techniques to help people handle their problems and crises and thus work toward healing. A pastoral counseling relationship begins at the point that the clergy person and the person or persons seeking pastoral counseling explicitly agree to enter into a relationship wherein is understood that the clergy person shall apply special skills to assist the other person or persons in resolution of problems or crises. NOTE: The above definitions are provided solely for the purpose of this Sexual Ethics Policy. The definitions do not create any chargeable offenses pursuant to The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. This policy does not sanction any conduct, which may constitute a chargeable offense pursuant to The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church.

Implementation Of Policy [This section updated June 2014]

The Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference commits itself to fast and expedient investigation of any charge of sexual misconduct within its churches, and shall act in compliance with the current Book of Discipline. The Clergy Sexual Ethics policy is to be made available for all Clergy, church employees, and local churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference by annual publication in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Journal.

District Superintendents are responsible for informing the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee members and members of the conference personnel committees of the Clergy Sexual Ethics policy.

The following persons are required to complete an annual online knowledge test on the Sexual Ethics Policy: 1) all Oregon-Idaho clergy members (see definition of “clergy” above) and 2) all other clergy currently serving under appointment by the Oregon-Idaho Bishop. When requested, provisions will be made for the online test to be taken on paper and returned to the District Superintendent via the U.S. mail.

The following persons are also required to attend one “Sexual Ethics, Abuse Prevention, and Healthy Boundaries” training offered by the Board of Ordained Ministry each quadrennium: all clergy currently appointed by the Oregon-Idaho bishop and/or serving in a ministerial role in an Oregon-Idaho ministry setting. The Board of Ordained Ministry shall determine if a non-Board of Ordained Ministry training is equivalent to the training promoted by the Board of Ordained Ministry. Considerations will include the training’s number of contact hours, content, and the qualifications of the workshop leader(s).

Applications for exemption from the required annual online test and the once per quadrennium training requirement shall be made in writing to the District Superintendent. Letters of approval for exemption Conference Policies 39 shall be kept on file in the District Superintendent’s office.

The appropriate District Superintendent shall insure that lay persons assigned or appointed to ministry settings within Oregon-Idaho (including Lay Persons Assigned, Certified Lay Members, Diaconal Ministers, Deaconesses, and Home Missioners) receive appropriate sexual ethics training and are knowledgeable about the Oregon-Idaho Conference Sexual Ethics Policy and standards for preventing sexual misconduct, abuse, and harassment.

Clergy members who do not meet the above requirements shall have a letter of non-compliance placed in their permanent file. Noncompliance may result in disciplinary action initiated by the District Superintendent.

Knowledge or information about clergy sexual misconduct should be reported to a district superintendent or the bishop. When allegations of clergy sexual misconduct are made, every attempt shall be made to have two District Superintendents (preferably one male and one female) investigate the matter by meeting first with the accusing party, then with the accused. Where required, further information shall be gathered and a full report made to the Cabinet. The Bishop and the Cabinet shall make every effort to resolve allegations, complaints or charges in a timely manner and within the requirements of the current Book of Discipline. Further procedural recommendations are found in the appendix of this policy.

Making a Complaint A complaint about any clergy person in violation of this policy may be made to any District Superintendent, or the Bishop. A complaint against a clergy person that involves a child may also need to be reported to the proper authorities, but there are also laws that may prevent disclosure of information obtained during a confidential discussion between a clergy person and another person seeking spiritual guidance from the clergy person. All complaints shall be dealt with promptly and in confidence according to ¶362 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. Persons who report misconduct or file a complaint must not be subject to retaliation. Persons who have knowledge of alleged misconduct are expected to come forward. Persons who knowingly give false information or reports shall be disciplined. All investigations of clergy shall be conducted according to ¶¶2701-2706 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church.

CLERGY HOUSING STANDARDS AND POLICY

Responsibility for housing to be used by clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. A. The primary responsibility for clergy housing resides with the Administrative Board. One of the responsibilities, as defined by the 1984 Discipline, ¶256.c(f), is the “Review the recommendation of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee regarding the provision of adequate housing for the pastor(s), with attention to Annual Conference parsonage standards, and report the same to the Charge Conference for approval. It is the responsibility of the Administrative Board ot provide adequate housing for the pastor(s). Housing shall not be considered as part of compensation or remuneration, but shall be considered as a means provided for the local church, and for the convenience of the local church, to enable its ministry and the itinerant ministry of the Annual Conference.” See II below for church-owned parsonage standards, and III below for housing allowance standards. B. The Administrative Board may delegate administrative responsibility for clergy housing to the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee or to a Parsonage Committee. However, it is understood that ultimate responsibility resides with the Administrative Board. C. If a housing allowance is provided in lieu of a parsonage, it shall be reviewed annually prior to the adoption of the clergy salary package for the coming year by the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Provision shall be made for an adequate allowance. See III below. D. If a Parsonage Committee is established, membership is to be nominated by the Committee on 42 Conference Policies

Nominations and elected by the Charge Conference, or appointed by the Administrative Board. It is suggested that its membership include the following: One trustee selected by the Board of Trustees, one member of the Pastor-Parish Relationsh Committee, three members at large, the minister, the minister’s spouse. This committee, which should inspect the parsonage in April to determine if these housing recommendations are being maintained and refer to the Board of Trustees any recommendation for improvement, should meet at least annually, and should report to the Charge Conference. (Discipline, ¶267.2f, (4)) E. Parsonage recommendations and the definition of an adequate housing allowance (See IIIA) should apply to all ministers under appointment to a local church regardless of marital status or family size. F. If a church or charge does not have a parsonage, and no provision has been made to provide for a housing allowance, the church should either 1. Develop a plan to acquire a suitable parsonage with sufficient funding for the purchase, or 2. Provide for an adequate housing allowance for the minister(s). (See IIIA) G. During the annual Charge Conference the District Superintendent may ask if the housing allowance provided by the local church is in compliance with Conference standards. Each local church is to be provided with a copy of the Clergy Housing Standards and Policy.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICY II. Church-owned Parsonage Recommendations A. The House 1. Ownership and Privacy. It should be recognized that a minister occupying a church- owned parsonage is in a relationship similar to that of a renter, with the church being understood as the landlord. The Discipline, ¶267.2f(4) says, “The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by the church as a place of privacy for the pastor’s family.” 2. Suggested minimum number of rooms: 3 bedrooms, dining area, kitchen, one and one- half (preferably two) baths, with adequate closet space in each, linen storage, garage and/or carport for a minimum of two automobiles, and storage for lawn equipment. 3. Additional desirable features: family room, extra bedroom or study space, bookshelves, fireplace with glass door and tools (alternative: modern wood-burning stove and accessories). 4. Energy Efficiency: adequate heating plant with annual maintenance and modifications for current technology. Insulated windows and adequate insulation in walls and ceiling are essential. Air conditioning should be provided in any locality where the climate requires it. An energy audit should be made, and recommendations referred to the Board of Trustees. 5. Additional Essential Features a. All church-owned furnishings and equipment should be in good condition with regard to appearance and useability b. Adequate electrical outlets should be provided, including those for refrigerator- freezer facilities, air conditioning, television, and other devices. c. All windows should have blinds and/or draperies in good condition. d. Windows should provide adequate ventilation, and those which open should have accompanying screens. e. Floor covering in all areas should be in good condition and up-to-date. Consideration should be given to ease of maintenance. f. Fencing should be installed an maintained where necessary to provide protection, containment, and ample area for activities for small children. g. Dead-bolt locks, television antenna or cable installation, smoke alarm(s), and working doorbells should be provided. B. Furnishings and Equipment to be Provided 1. Kitchen, electric or gas range, refrigerator with minimum of 17 to 21 cubic feet of space, with a freezing compartment or a separate freezer; adequate cupboard space; adequate Conference Policies 43

counter space with good finish. A dishwasher and disposal are highly recommended. Outlet and space for a microwave oven should be provided. 2. Laundry Area: current models of automatic washer and dry, in good operating condition. 3. Yard Care: power lawn mower, garden hoses and sprinklers, garden tools and equipment. 4. Telephone: two telephones should be provided. The telephone deposit and connection should be maintained by the church to prevent interruption between pastorates. 5. Consideration should be given to providing floor lamps in parsonages that have no overhead lights. 6. Condition: when furnishings and equipment are no longer in good condition with regard to appearance and usability, then should be removed and replace as soon as practical. Out- of-date items or the discards of others should not be placed in the parsonage. Decisions in this regard should reside with the Parsonage Committee and pastor. 7. Inventory: an up-to-date list of all parsonage furnishings, including dates of purchase, serial numbers, and related data should be kept, with copies to be filed with the Parsonage Committee, church office, and the District Superintendent. C. Care of Property 1. Insurance: coverage is normally provided by the church for all fire and casualty losses, including public liability, including the replacement cost of the parsonage and church-owned furnishings and equipment. Clergy are responsible for insuring personal property, including furniture. 2. Repairs: an amount shall be provided in the local church budget for repairs and maintenance of the parsonage. (An amount equivalent to two percent [2%] of the value of the parsonage is recommended. This can be achieved by paying one-twelfth [1/12th] of the yearly amount each month into a special reserve, which should be cumulative.) 3. Interior and exterior painting should be provided as required to keep the house in good condition and appearance. 4. Operating Procedures: a. A formal agreement between the pastor and the church shall be instituted. The agreement shall clarify the expectations of both the church and the pastor with regard to the matters listed in this policy statement. A review upon the arrival of the incoming pastor and two weeks before the departure of the outgoing pastor is in order to conform to the agreement. (see revised sample form below) The clergy shall make a security/cleaning deposit to cover damage and cleaning costs for the parsonage. The deposit will be obtained via payroll deduction during the first 6 months of the clergy use of the parsonage. The church will place the deposit in trust to be refunded at the end of the clergy appointment if the parsonage is in reasonable condition considering normal wear and tear. Any cleaning and damage costs incurred by the church for the parsonage would be deducted from the deposit. b. The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee in cooperation with the Board of Trustees shall be responsible for seeing that all necessary work is done to keep the parsonage up to these recommendations. c. An annual review should be made of the agreement, involving the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee and Board of Trustees, with the pastor’s family. d. The parsonage family should be consulted in the selection of applicances and furnishings, and their taste considered in determining color and plans for interior decorating. Neutral colors for drapes and carpets are recommended so as to fit with whatever color décor of furnishings the parsonage family may bring into the parsonage. e. A parsonage history should be kept in the church files, providing age of the building, its assessed evaluation, dates and types of improvement, including purchases of appliances and a list of church-owned furnishings. Photos are desirable. f. The following information should be supplied to the minister by the Parsonage Committee in the form of a regular Parsonage Reference Manual containing: (1) Location of water shut-off valves and outside faucets including instructions on “winterizing” outside plumbing. 44 Conference Policies

(2) Locations and drawing for all electrical disconnect panels with appropriate labels on breakers/fuses. (3) Instructions on all appliances including lighting pilot lights in furnaces, water heaters and stoves. (4) Directions on the use of all power equipment including lawn mowers and other power tools belonging to the parsonage. (5) Instruction booklets for appliances. (6) Suggested list for service personnel and service providers (volunteers) within the church. (7) Schedule of regular maintenance to be carried out with the parsonage committee. (8) Any other information specific to the parsonage and grounds. 5. Prior to moving out of a parsonage, the parsonage family shall clean, or arrange and pay for the cleaning of the house, including carpets and rugs. If this is not done, the Parsonage Committee shall have the option of hiring the work done and deducting the expenses from the security/cleaning deposit before refunding the deposit to the outgoing pastor. D. General Suggestions 1. Ministers are encouraged to live in the parsonage(s) provided by the local church where the parsonage(s) is adequate according to these guidelines. Consultation between the church, District Superintendent, and the pastor should occur if the parsonage is not appropriate. 2. The parsonage is the home of the pastor and family and their rights and privacy should always be respected by members of the congregation. With rights comes responsibilities for the appearance and condition of the parsonage. The minister’s family and the Parsonage Committee should work together to exercise good care of tall parsonage property. (See IIA and IIC4 above.) 3. When the pastor moves, the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should see that the lights, telephone, and water are left connected. The deposit for public utilities should be provided by the church. 4. If a gift of furniture or furnishings is made, the donor should designate specifically if it is to remain in the parsonage or is a personal gift to the pastor.

III. Housing Allowance Standards A. An adequate housing allowance may be defined as an amount sufficient to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards of a church-owned parsonage and its furnishings and equipment (as defined by IIB). B. Churches are encourage to be attentive and responsive to the individual needs of minister with regard to housing. C. In the event that a church and its pastor are considering a change from a parsonage to a housing allowance, this is to be done in consultation with the District Superintendent and the District Committee on Church Location and Building. Thorough attention should be given to the advantages and disadvantages of such a change. A church should be prepared, through careful preservation of adequate assets, giving attention to market values and trends, to provide future housing which meet Conference standards. (Discipline, par. 2537 and 2538) D. Where the housing allowance is provided and in order to allow the minister maximum benefits allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, the following guidelines are suggested: 1. For churches reporting to the Charge Conference and the District Superintendent, the amount designated for Housing Allowance should be the amount required to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards for a church-owned parsonage. Other amounts designated for housing allowance may be mutually agreed upon between the pastor and the church with the consent of the District Superintendent. Consideration should be given to costs of maintenance and repair that would otherwise be paid by the church to maintain a parsonage. The housing allowance is in addition to any amount designated for utilities. 2. For Federal Income Tax purposes, it is recommended that the Pastor-Parish Relations Conference Policies 45

Committee make a separate allocation of total compensation including housing allowance as established by the Charge Conference in order to reflect the actual cost of providing a home. This designation should be made in a letter to the pastor in advance of the effective date.

IV. Cabinet Policy Regarding the Sale of Parsonage See Conference Rule 12.062

PASTOR-PARISH RELATIONS COMMITTEE/PARSONAGE COMMITTEE AGREEMENT (Sample Form for Optional Use)

1. It is the responsibility of the incoming pastor to note the condition and cleanliness of the parsonage. A written inventory is recommended. 2. It is the responsibility of the pastor to maintain the parsonage ground—keeping it presentable at all times: e.g., mowing and watering lawn, trimming and maintaining shrubs, removing leaves, shoveling snow in winter, etc. 3. The pastor will be responsible to replace or pay for broken and/or misused items. 4. It is the responsibility of the local church to maintain and replace for normal wear and usage all parsonage furnishings and equipment. 5. The costs of damage to the parsonage resulting from the activity of pets should be the responsibility of the parsonage family. 6. A meeting of the pastor and Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should be held annually for review of the condition of the parsonage. It is the responsibility of the out-going pastor to see that the parsonage is thoroughly cleaned for his/her successor.

IMAGINE NO MALARIA

The Hat

Alva Mitchell of Vale UMC (one recipient of the Denman Evangelism Award, see page 116) wore a very stylish hat to the Annual Conference Session in Salem.

At the Friday night Gala, noting the interest in his hat, he offered to auction it off to benefit the Imagine No Malaria campaign. Rev. Gwen Drake (below right), District Superintendent of Crater Lake District, was the winner that night. But she graciously offered the hat back to Alva, who then doubled the grace by offering the hat back to the Conference for another auction.

By the end of the Annual Conference Session the hat had raised $12,477 for the Imagine No Malaria campaign and went home, by popular acclaim, with Julia Frisbie (upper left photo), the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area Imagine No Malaria Coordinator. Others pictured are Rev. John Mars (upper right) and Rev. Steve Ross, (below left) , who each got to wear the hat for a short time. Imagine No Malaria 119 The Race

Of the 5K Run/Walk on Saturday morning, which involved community as well as conference members, Julia Frisbie wrote, “A highlight for me was the morning of the 5K. Thank you to everyone who got up early to volunteer and participate. The Bishop yelled, “On your marks, get set, GO!” and two hundred red-clad people rushed across the starting line beaming. That morning we were not just runners and volunteers, but cheerleaders. Our partners in Africa have the longer and tougher race. I pray that our prayers and donations will buoy them up as they continue the good work.”

More than $35,000 was raised for Imagine No Malaria at the AC Session, from local church pledges, offering at worship, the 5K registration fees and pledges, and the hat auctions. 120 Imagine No Malaria The Cause Daily Proceedings 123 Daily Proceedings 2014 Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Session Living the Connection #1 Thursday, June 12, 2014 1:30 pm OPENING WORSHIP Following Clergy Session and Laity workshops in the morning, conference members and visitors gathered for worship led by John Tucker and others. The bishop preached the sermon.

CALL TO ORDER Bishop Grant Hagiya called the 46th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to order at 2:45pm.

ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIONS Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary, made the following motions to organize the work of the conference session: 1. The bar of the conference shall be established as the seats at the tables in the meeting room, including the tech booth but excluding the conference office, the floor manager’s table, and any hospitality tables. 2. The conference staff, interpreters, readers, mentors, technicians, and pages who do not hold voting privileges are allowed the privilege of working within the bar of the conference. 3. The pre-conference reports are hereby accepted for changes and perfections as determined by annual conference actions. 4. Clergy members of other annual conferences currently serving within the bounds of the Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference under par. 346.1 of the Book of Discipline shall be allowed seats within the bar of the conference, with voice but no vote. 5. The minutes of each Living the Connection session will be posted on the conference website each day. Corrections should be given to the Conference Secretary. All passed.

COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE SESSION Laura Beville, floor manager, explained the variety ofsilent tools for communicating with one another at this session, since we are not sitting in assigned seats this year.

INTRODUCTIONS Bishop Hagiya made several introductions: Juli Reinholz, the district superintendent of the Seven Rivers District in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, along with her spouse, David. The Rev. Dave Beckett is here from Alaska, where he has served as the Alaska Conference Superintendent. The Rev. Brenda Vaca is the Hispanic Ministries Coordinator for the Western Jurisdiction. Tom Wilson is the executive director of the Northwest United Methodist Foundation. Dee Poujade introduced a guest from the General Board of Global Ministries, Janet Lahr Lewis.

MINISTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM Kim Fields, assistant to the bishop, began the report by reminding us that, just a few years ago, we felt stuck. But we have been making changes and moving forward! Kim lifted up the Congregational Leadership Development program. Mary Foote talked about the new ways of “doing church” with which we’ve been experimenting. Kim showed a statistic that measures the percentage of OR-ID congregations considered to be vital: in 2010 it was 10.5% and in 2012 it was 32.4%. Our financial health has also improved.

NOMINATIONS REPORT Peg Lofsvold, chair of the Nominating Team, directed the attention of the conference members to the report of the Team. She asked that corrections or changes be written on the correction sheets that are on each table, and then given to the conference office in the corner of our plenary space. On Saturday we will vote on the corrected report. Peg thanked the members of the Nominating Team. 124 Daily Proceedings

BREAK

CHURCH CLOSURES Lowell Greathouse, Columbia District Superintendent, acknowledged the difficult decisions that sometimes must be made as we move into the future with vitality. Lowell briefly summarized the history for both the Echo and Grace Korean United Methodist Churches. On May 4, the Echo UMC voted 12-0 to officially close as a United Methodist congregation. The Grace Korean congregation voted on April 27, 3-0 to close the church. All the proper Disciplinary requirements have now been met for both churches, with the exception of the final vote by the annual conference.

Lowell moved that the Echo UMC be discontinued effective July 1, 2014, and that the real and personal, the tangible and intangible property be transferred to the Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2548 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Lowell moved that the Grace Korean United Methodist Church be discontinued effective July 1, 2014, and that the real and personal, the tangible and intangible property be transferred to the Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2548 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Gwen Drake brought two churches of the Crater Lake District. On August 20, 2013, the Paisley UMC charge conference voted unanimously to discontinue the church. The congregation members have transferred their membership to the Paisley Community Church. The St Paul Center UMC has also voted to close, and all the members have transferred their membership to local UMCs. All the proper Disciplinary requirements have now been met for both churches, with the exception of the final vote by the annual conference.

Gwen moved that the Paisley United Methodist Church be discontinued effective July 1, 2014, and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property be transferred to the Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2548 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Gwen moved that the St. Paul Center United Methodist Church in Springfield, Oregon, be discontinued effective July 1, 2014, and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2548 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Bishop Hagiya closed this time of closures and new opportunities with prayer.

CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Wendy Woodworth, president of the CF&A, addressed the annual conference. She expressed sorrow at the departure of Bill Mullette-Bauer as our Director of Stewardship and Finance, although we are grateful that we don’t have to say good bye, since Bill will continue to serve in Oregon-Idaho in a special appointment. Wendy introduced Belinda Denicola as our new Conference Treasurer and Benefits Officer.

Wendy reminded us that last year she distributed quarters as we focused on individual stewardship. This year she invited us to focus on congregational stewardship. Wendy introduced Alva Mitchell, a CF&A member from Vale UMC. Alva told the story of a transformation at the Vale church, as the congregation declined. In 2007 a group of church members committed themselves to the goal of supporting a full-time pastor and turning things around…but it didn’t work. The church didn’t give up! In 2011 several Vale members attended the Leadership Institute at Boise First UMC, an experience that motivated them to try again, this time armed with new insights and tools. But…we have to stay tuned until Friday to hear the next chapter in the story!

Duane Anders and Lisa Payton shared the story of Amity UMC in Boise. This is a congregation Daily Proceedings 125 that started with big dreams, but they encountered a number of roadblocks, and began to be stuck in frustration and disillusionment. At that point, Lisa and Duane began to imagine and say “what if?” What if these two congregations were able to form some kind of partnership? What if together they were able to dream new dreams? And tomorrow they will be back to tell us about those new dreams.

Wendy shared some financial highlights. She told about a phone call from Bill Mullette-Bauer in February: we had paid our bills and still had money left over! Bill was asking if we should be more faithful as an annual conference, and take the leap to pay a larger share of our General and Jurisdictional church commitments. The answer? Yes!

LEGISLATIVE FORUM Warren Light, legislative co-coordinator, directed members to the Consent Calendars. Warren explained that members have the opportunity to remove an item from the Action Request Consent Calendar with a motion (our Rules require 40 votes in support to remove an item). The first Calendar requires a vote of 50% + 1 to pass. Warren moved the adoption of the Action Request Consent Calendar. Passed.

Warren moved the adoption of the 2014 Standing Resolutions Consent Calendar. Passed.

Sandy Kimbrow, member of the 2014 Legislative Assembly, introduced SR5, a new standing resolution. On behalf of the Legislative Assembly, she moved the adoption of SR5. Passed.

UPDATE ON LAWSUITS Bill Mullette-Bauer reminded us that the conference was named in two different lawsuits, each for the amount of $4.5 million. Bill reported that he is delighted to share that both lawsuits have now been settled—the last one at about 5:00 pm this past Monday afternoon. Although both claims were covered by insurance, each of these took a staggering toll in time, energy, and staff.

APPRECIATION FOR BILL MULLETTE-BAUER Wendy Woodworth led us a time of expressing our profound gratitude to Bill as he leaves his position of leadership, which he has done with amazing grace and expertise. Bill is leaving the session early to be with his spouse, Jean, who is in Montana with her mother, who is in the final days of her life.

Bishop Hagiya admitted that honoring someone like Bill requires breaking some rules! The bishop decided to break a rule about the Bishop’s Award going only to a layperson. He then presented Bill Mullette-Bauer with the 2014 Bishop’s Award.

Wendy noted that Bill helped our annual conference turn around our steep dive into red ink, but she pointed out that the reason we all love Bill is not about his “numbers acumen,” but it’s because of his heart. A video was shown that attempted to illustrate the essence of Bill as his “Billness.”

Ross Lundstrom, from the General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, addressed the annual conference to share his own appreciation for Bill.

Wendy, along with Alva Mitchell, presented Bill with some gifts from the entire annual conference: a donation to Imagine No Malaria, a check to be used for travel, and a gift of wooden bowls made by Alva.

Living the Connection #2 Friday, June 13, 2014 8:30 am

PRAYER AND PRAISE Ruth Marsh, worship leader for the 2014 Annual Conference, led in a time of prayer and praise, assisted by Dawn-Hunter Strobel and David King.

MINISTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM Kim Fields and Mary Foote returned to the podium for Act Two of the MLT presentation. They showed a video that highlighted the current work on a variety of new church experiences in the Portland area, as well as the new partnership between First UMC and Amity UMC in Boise and an outreach ministry at Living Hope~Kuna UMC. Kim and Mary reminded us that the journey has begun, and we do not journey alone!

TIME TO GROW Lisa Jean Hoefner, executive director of our Camp & Retreat Ministries, addressed the conference session, and introduced Eric Conklin, the Camp & Retreat Ministries assistant, who works with communications and donor relations. Eric and Lisa Jean led the annual conference in a celebration of all that has been accomplished, and to mark the official wrap-up of this important campaign. They also noted that, even though the campaign is officially closed, donations will continue to be accepted to help meet the original goals of Time to Grow. A slide show highlighted the many new buildings and significant improvements at Camp Magruder, Suttle Lake, Wallowa Lake, Latgawa, and Sawtooth. An additional wing at the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center is still a dream, and leaders remain committed to making this a reality even though the campaign has ended. They noted that Time to Grow has never really been about buildings: it’s about the joy of finding meaning and relationship through camp and retreat ministry, and passing that legacy on to the next generation, so that every precious child of God will know without a doubt that they are loved by a community that wants them to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Todd Bartlett closed the presentation with a prayer.

COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION Wendy Woodworth invited Alva Mitchell back to bring “the rest of the story.” He related how the Vale UMC developed a covenant relationship with the Lutheran (ELCA) church in town, so that together they could support a full-time pastor—and they were looking for some specific gifts and skills that would really work in their particular setting. And it has worked! Andrew Williams arrived last fall from the British Methodist Church, and Alva reported with joy the changes that are in process through his leadership. Last year they baptized 11 new Christians, and have 13 more scheduled for July! Although the Lutheran partnership has not worked out, there has been some important learning in that process (one of which is: if you want new vitality, you need to be willing to change!).

Duane Anders returned to report on the changes for Boise First and Amity UMCs. Boise First sent about 50 people to go in mission to be part of the Amity campus. The Amity UMC was willing to give up some of their identity, as they became a part of Boise UMC instead of being a separate entity. Worship attendance and financial giving are both up significantly with the new partnership. Duane also talked about the importance of church leaders being models in tithing, and he shared the amazing story about how the Amity campus has been able to fund a new sanctuary that will open this year!

Wendy then presented the Conference Budget. The 2015 budget represents a .26% increase over the 2014 budget, but due to Bill Mullette-Bauer’s expertise, apportionments will actually decrease. Wendy Daily Proceedings 127 pointed out and explained changes, and then answered questions from the conference members.

BOARD OF PENSION AND HEALTH BENEFITS Danna Drum, chair of the Board, gave the annual report of the Board of Pensions. She gave a brief summary of the Board’s responsibilities. Danna lifted up the clergy who are retiring this year, and thanked them for their many years of service. She also celebrated that all heath and retirement benefits are fully funded, for the first time! This is due in large part to the leadership of Bill Mullette-Bauer. The Board has also had good investment returns and a good claims ration for the Oregon-Idaho health insurance, resulting in a $540,000 “rebate.” There will be no increase in the 2015 health insurance premium, and no benefits changes. The HRA retiree benefit will increase by 3%. She also celebrated our excellent participation in Health Quotient and the Blueprint for Health (two significant programs in our health insurance coverage).

Danna moved the adoption of the Board’s Health Benefits Recommendations, as printed in the pre- conference reports: [page 186 of this Journal] Passed.

Danna moved the adoption of the Pension and Welfare Plans, as printed in the pre-conference reports: 1. Effective January 1, 2015, the Pre-82 (MRPF) past service rate for ordained and local pastors shall be $570 per service year, with 70 percent continuing payment to the surviving spouse, and that Addendum A of the Clergy Retirement Security Program be so amended.

2. Concerning the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church for CRSP at the rate of 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation (including cash salary plus utilities and housing allowance [25% of cash salary if parsonage is provided], plus any tax deferred annuity and/or contribution towards Social Security) for eligible clergy. Local churches served by retired clergy are exempt from this billing.

3. The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church (with a pastor appointed three- quarter time or full time) at a rate of 3.2 percent of the pastor’s plan compensation for the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) for eligible clergy.

4. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 12-14, 2014 approves the Addendum: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.

5. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 12-14, 2014 approves the 2015 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan for the Oregon-IdahoAnnual Conference, as submitted by the Conference Board of Pensions and approved by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits.

Passed.

Danna concluded the report by noting that opportunity knocks! She invited all of the conference members to be aware of health risk factors that contribute to poor health…and big health insurance claims. We need to change this as a community, by being the change that we want to see. She asked, “Do our ministry settings support individuals and families trying to have healthy behaviors?”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE Steve Ross made an announcement about single board governance, and the availability of a new book resource.

BREAK

BOARD OF TRUSTEES Larry McClure, chair of the Board of Trustees, guided the annual conference through the report of the 128 Daily Proceedings

Board. He noted that the Board awarded Bill Mullette-Bauer a real estate “degree” in honor of Bill’s extensive work in selling some key annual conference properties, as well as a law “degree” in recognition of Bill’s many hours of work on two lawsuits over the past several years. In a spring survey, the Board learned that 180 ministry settings have reported $331 million in property assets. The Board has learned that the level of insurance across the conference varies greatly. The conference is made more vulnerable when our coverage is not consistent. The bishop pointed out that most of the OR-ID churches are underinsured. He encouraged churches to participate in the Board’s survey.

BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY Jeremy Hajdu-Paulen, Board chair, introduced Jill Plant to the annual conference. Jill was elected at the clergy session as a provisional member of the annual conference, and will be commissioned on Saturday evening as a provisional deacon.

PENSIONS ADDENDUM Belinda Denicola offered an answer to a question that was asked earlier about whether or not same- gender spouses are included in GBPOHB policies: the answer is that a spouse is a spouse is a spouse!

BOARD OF CAMP AND RETREAT MINISTRY Karen Nelson, chair of the Board, noted that a motion was printed with the pre-conference reports, but since then a new possibility has arisen concerning camping opportunities in southern Oregon, so the Board does not plan to present that motion this year. Ignore that part of the report, but be sure to read the rest!

NORTHWEST UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION Tom Wilson, executive director of the Northwest United Methodist Foundation, was welcomed to the annual conference and greeted conference members and visitors with a brief report about the ministry of the Foundation.

EQUITABLE COMPENSATION COMMISSION Ruth Marsh, chair of the Commission, summarized the two-fold goal of the Commission: to set the minimum salary and to make sure that each pastor receives at least the minimum.

The Commission researched the cost of housing in the Portland area, and found that, according to the website Zillow as well as U.S. military figures, a clergy person would need over $24,000 annually to pay for housing. She asked conference members to pray about this justice issue.

Ruth moved the following, as printed in the pre-conference reports: For the calendar year of 2015 the total minimum compensation, including the use of a parsonage, will be set at the following rate:

Elder in Full Connection/Associate Member: $37,300 Probationary Member: $35,525 Local Pastor: $33,545 Passed.

EPISCOPACY COMMITTEE Donna Pritchard, chair of the Oregon-Idaho committee, asked members of the Committee to stand. She reported that the episcopacy committee from OR-ID has been meeting with the PNW and Alaska committees to share our concerns and partner in support of our bishop. She presented Bishop Hagiya with a heartstone with the word “encourage.” The bishop introduced his spouse, Jan, who is here at the conference session.

APPOINTMENTS Peg Lofsvold (superintendent) and Lisa Radford (lay leader) joined Bishop Hagiya in the reading of appointments for Cascadia District. Lowell Greathouse (superintendent) and Deb Payne (lay leader) joined Bishop Hagiya in the reading of appointments for Columbia District. Daily Proceedings 129

ANNOUNCEMENTS

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE Kimmy Underwood from the Wesley Foundation at the University of Oregon reported that all of their student interns are doing great ministry! Bishop Hagiya was present with one of their t-shirts.

Janet Burkhart celebrated the closure of the two lawsuits, and asked us to remember those who have suffered and survived as victims of clergy sexual abuse. Bishop Hagiya led in a prayer.

Christy Dirren invited members to take a bookmark with more information about our four Portland area church starts.

John Pitney noted that we still have much unfinished business on the issue of clergy sexual misconduct. He encouraged laity to make sure their clergy get training on preventing such misconduct by using resources such as Healthy Boundaries.

Janice Stevens asked for prayers for a toddler who was seriously injured; he has family in the Montavilla UMC.

SAND CREEK MASSACRE REMEMBRANCE Lowell Greathouse began by offered thanks and gratitude to the ancestors of this land. He named many of the Native Peoples who have cared for this land and honored it for many, many years. On Friday, June 20, the members of the Rocky Mountain Annual Conference will take an entire day to make a pilgrimage to the site of the Sand Creek Massacre. It is with shame that we note that the leader of this massacre on Nov. 29, 1864, was a Methodist layman, as was the governor of Colorado at that time. The RMAC members have spent the last four years in conversation with the descendants of the Sand Creek survivors about how United Methodist might somehow be instruments of healing, 150 years later. Lowell showed a video that highlighted the Sand Creek Massacre Spiritual Healing Run and Walk, which is a prayer, not a race; it is an annual means of commemorating those innocent persons who were slaughtered in what they thought was a place of sanctuary.

Lowell invited us to create a sacred space here in Salem. Each annual conference in the WJC has been asked to participate in the July 20 event by sending to Denver two blankets that represent its unique region. Oregon-Idaho will send two Chief Joseph blankets. Lowell introduced Lois Chilcott, a member of the Menominee Tribe and the Wilshire UMC Native American Fellowship in Portland, who blessed the two blankets with sage, sweet grass, tobacco, and prayers. She asked all the persons in this room to lay a hand on the two blankets as we exit the room for lunch, to add our own touch and spirits to the blankets as they travel to Sand Creek.

Bishop Hagiya shared that our 2015 Annual Conference session will include a service of repentance for the many injustices perpetrated on the Native American peoples of the United States. We will join with all the annual conferences of the U.S., at the mandate of the 2012 General Conference. We ended our sacred time together by singing “Many and Great.”

LUNCH BREAK

Living the Connection #3 Friday, June 13, 2014 1:30 pm

PRAYER AND PRAISE Ruth Marsh, David King, and Ben Scranage re-gathered the conference members with a time of prayer and praise.

MINISTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM Kim and Mary returned for Act Three! Kim reminded us that God has given us all that we need to do 130 Daily Proceedings exactly what God has called us to do. We have not yet arrived at the destination, but the good news is that in many of our churches, we are faithfully making the journey together. There are many signs of God’s kingdom, if we have eyes to see. God calls us to open our eyes and see the building of the kingdom all around us.

Mary Foote, our conference lay leader, offer the annual Lay Leader Address. Mary traced the three- act story of the Israelite people (did the question “Are we there yet?” originate during the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness?). After sharing some signs of God’s kingdom that Mary has seen, she invited the conference members to talk around tables for about five minutes, and then report to the entire conference session.

RECOGNITION OF RETIREES A special luncheon today recognized each of this year’s retirees. In the conference session, Bishop Hagiya read the names of each person retiring this year, and then a short video was shown that celebrated each one.

LEARNING OPPORTUNITY WITH BRIAN McLAREN

GALA DINNER AND AWARDS PRESENTATION An Academy Awards-style evening included a banquet and awards presentations. Guests were invited to put on their “bling” and walk down the red carpet to be served in style. Bishop Hagiya (resplendent in his tuxedo and red tie) and Mary Foote were the hosts for the event, which was organized by Becky Delurey.

Living the Connection #4 Saturday, June 14, 2014 10:00 am

MILES4MALARIA Many conference members and friends gathered at 7:00 am at Bush Park to run or walk (or cheer) to raise money to support our fund-raising efforts for Imagine No Malaria.

PRAYER AND PRAISE Ruth Marsh, David King, and Josh Hauser led a time of song, scripture, and prayer to open the final day of the session at 10:00 am.

IMAGINE NO MALARIA Julia Frisbie, the Imagine No Malaria Coordinator for the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area, reported that we had 215 people register for the Miles4Malaria 5K Run/Walk this morning! There was a fundraising competition between the districts. Cascadia District was the “loser,” meaning that David Hurd has to wear the mosquito costume for the rest of the day—but he was given the opportunity to try to raise $2400 on the spot in order to avoid this indignity! And Cascadia folks stepped up to the plate… meaning that Columbia District was now in the “loser’s” seat, so Scott Allen valiantly came up to the platform to don the mosquito costume. Julia reported that the total that we have raised during the course of our annual conference session is over $18,000! As a postscript, Columbia members started spontaneously pledging more money, and made it out of the loser’s spot, to be replaced by Sage District, whose members immediately starting offering money to get out of the basement—which took only about two minutes! Crater Lake quickly leapt into action to successfully raise money. Julia offered to wear the costume herself, since all the districts did so well at working hard to prevent their representatives from having to wear the costume. We are now 35% of the way to our annual conference goal for Imagine No Malaria! She also announced an Area-wide Pancake Feast, September 21 to October 5, and then shared a video highlighting the ongoing work of Imagine No Malaria in Sierra Leone. The bishop read the names of the three churches in the annual conference that raised the most money for this year’s effort: Tabor Heights, $1944; Madras $1677; Pocatello $924. And for the grand finale, Bishop Hagiya noted that if OR-ID can raise the money to meet our full goal, he will wear the mosquito costume! Daily Proceedings 131

TASK FORCE ON THE ELIMINATION OF HUNGER Kim Fields lifted up the work of the Task Force on the Elimination of Hunger, which began just eight years ago. The members of this group have worked tirelessly to empower all of us to make a difference in the fight against hunger. Kim noted that virtually every church in our annual conference now has some kind of hunger ministry program in its community. Gayle Woods and Jonathan Enz have co-chaired this amazing effort. As the Task Force is now winding up its efforts, Kim offered the conference members the opportunity to express appreciation for their leadership.

CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Wendy Woodworth returned to the podium and reminded us of what congregational stewardship looks like. She thanked the members of the CF&A.

Wendy presented to Belinda a basket of Northwest goodies to offer her a taste of her new home! Belinda then briefly addressed the Annual Conference, and presented Wendy with a beautiful hand-painted glass cutting board, made by an artist in Louisiana. Belinda noted that she has already discovered that the OR- ID conference has the best staff she has ever worked with! She challenged every local church to increase its shared ministries apportionment giving by 5% each year for the next five years; if we meet that challenge, she will personally provide enough pralines for everyone each year we meet the goal. And, Brenda will personally host a New Orleans style celebration at annual conference if we can meet the overall goal! Brenda also presented Bishop Hagiya with gifts along with greetings from Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey, bishop of the Louisiana Annual Conference.

GENERAL CONFERENCE 2016 Bill Haden, the chair of the local host committee for General Conference, showed a short video to remind us that we are hosting this General Conference as an entire Jurisdiction, since it will take ALL of us to be able to offer extravagant hospitality to the several thousand folks who arrive in Portland in May of 2016 for this global United Methodist event. Bill invited everyone here to join in the hosting effort by volunteering through this website: GC2016PDX.org. And although Bill issued his plea as an “invitation,” Bishop Hagiya noted that it’s actually more of a mandate!

NOMINATING REPORT Peg Lofsvold moved the approval of the nominating report, as amended by the additional sheet distributed this morning. Passed.

CLOSING PRAYER Bishop Hagiya offered a closing prayer, lifting up Bill and Jean Mullette-Bauer. We have received word that Jean’s mother died last night in Montana; although we have deeply missed him here, we are so grateful that Bill was able to be there.

Bishop Hagiya addressed the clergy session with some final remarks.

One statistic from the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry indicates that, by the year 2020, we will need 5000 elders in the UMC. Bishop Hagiya lifted up a new grant process from the GBHEM to fund interns on their way to becoming young clergy: the Greater Northwest Area has received one of those grants! He promised to ask us again next year who among us is mentoring at least one person into ministry, and he expects all hands to be raised.

The bishop also talked about our responsibilities in hosting General Conference in Portland in 2016. He asked everyone in the room to be part of the effort in our hosting; it is a HUGE job for such a small annual conference.

Clay Andrew, who is the Ministerial Education Fund officer for the BOM, spoke about the availability of clergy renewal grants. Up to $1000 per person is available; an application must be made to the MEF officer, submitted by both the District Superintendent and the clergy person.

Revise the language on page 35 in the “Sexual Ethics Policy For Clergy” in the 2013 Conference Journal, starting with the words “Implementation of Policy” and ending with the sentence “District Superinten- dents inform the Pastor/Staff Relation Committee members and members of the conference personnel committees of the Clergy Sexual Ethics policy,” as follows: Implementation of Policy The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference commits itself to fast and expedient investigation of any charge of sexual misconduct within its churches and ministry settings, and shall act in compliance with the current Book of Discipline. The Clergy Sexual Ethics policy is to be made available for all Clergy, church employees, and local churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference by annual publication in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Journal. District Superintendents are responsible for informing the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee members and members of the conference personnel committees of the Clergy Sexual Ethics policy.

The following persons are also required to attend one “Sexual Ethics, Abuse Prevention, and Healthy Boundaries” training offered by the Board of Ordained Ministry each quadrennium: all clergy currently appointed by the Oregon-Idaho bishop and/or serving in a ministerial role in an Oregon-Idaho ministry setting. The Board of Ordained Ministry shall determine if a non-Board of Ordained Ministry training is equivalent to the training promoted by the Board of Ordained Ministry. Considerations will include the training’s number of contact hours, content, and the qualifications of the workshop leader(s). Applications for exemption from participating in an annual training event the required annual online test and the once per quadrennium training requirement shall be made in writing to the Bishop District Superintendent. Letters of approval for exemption shall be kept on file in theBishop’s District Superin- tendent’s office. The appropriate District Superintendent shall insure that lay persons assigned or appointed to ministry settings within Oregon-Idaho (including Lay Persons Assigned, Certified Lay Members, Diaconal Min- isters, Deaconesses, and Home Missioners) receive appropriate sexual ethics training and are knowledgeable about the Oregon-Idaho Conference Sexual Ethics Policy and standards for preventing sexual misconduct, abuse, and harassment. Clergy members who do not meet the above requirements shall have a letter of non-compliance placed in their permanent file. Noncompliance may result in disciplinary action initiated by the District Superinten- dent. Actions & Resolutions 141

AR#5 Add the Words, Idaho Sponsor: Hillview United Methodist Church, OR-ID Methodist Federation for Social Action, and Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists Responsible Parties: Oregon-Idaho United Methodists who choose to participate Adopted on Majority Consent Calendar.

Encourage Idaho United Methodists to support efforts to have the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” added to the Idaho Human Rights Act through prayer, letters to the elected leaders in Idaho, letters to the editor of Idaho newspapers, participation in rallies, hosting informational gatherings, and other means that might further this effort. Additionally, to encourage United Methodists in Oregon and Idaho to use the same means to prevent passage of any legislation that would, in effect, provide legal protection for discrimination on the part of businesses on the basis of religious beliefs.

AR#6 Study Of Justice And Peace In The Holy Lands Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Holy Land Task Force Responsible Parties: The Oregon Idaho Conference Holy Land Task Force Adopted on Majority Consent Calendar.

Strongly encourage all churches, ministry settings and/or districts to commit to providing a study based on the United Methodist-Kairos Response document “Kairos Palestine Response” in preparation for further action at the 2015 Annual Conference session.

1. BAN ON TORTURE (2008, 2011) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We support a ban on torture in any form by the U.S. government, its agencies, agents, military or the use of non-U.S. government entities to torture on its behalf.

2. BRING U.S. GOVERNMENT DRONE MISSILE STRIKES UNDER CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT (2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action All people of faith in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference who follow Jesus’ teachings are called upon to: 1. Oppose killing of other people, whoever they are and by whatever means, because it violates Jesus’ teachings; and oppose all drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists (and innocent civilians) in countries where war is not declared. Drone killings run counter to our UMC statement: “We believe all human life is sacred and created by God and therefore we must see all human life as significant and valuable” [Social Principles 164:G, p 619]. 2. Insist our President, Senators and Representatives to follow the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11, that declares that “everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.” Our U.S. Bill of Rights, Amendments 4 to 8 uphold similar statements. Every person deserves justice and should be presumed innocent until being proved guilty. 3. Insist the Executive Branch adhere to Congressional oversight, including but not limited to rules and justifications governing the U.S. drone program; also that the Executive Branch provide information on attack results, whenever legal drone strikes are undertaken. 4. Urge our government to help formulate an international treaty that would agree to placing restraints on drone usage, similar to a nuclear weapons ban treaty.

3. CALL TO CIVILITY (2010, renewed 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation For Social Action “Civility is more than a rule for polite conduct. It is a way of life formed around values that unite rather than divide.” These words of Will Rogers are no less true today than when he said them during the Great Depression. In today’s highly polarized cultural environment, incivility has become systemic, spreading corrosively like a cancer in our communities, our nation and the body politic. As Persons of faith it is our individual as well as corporate responsibility to call for and to embody the civility reflective of the gospel values that unite us. Therefore, we call upon all United Methodists, clergy, and laity, to act as agents of peace, tolerance and mutual respect of all persons in all areas of our lives and in all venues. Further, every United Methodist is called upon to challenge with civility those persons and media who promote hate, fear, misinformation and lies. Civility is the currency of civilization and of community. Civility is not an issue of ideology or political affiliation, it is an issue at the core of our gospel faith.

4. CALL TO SUPPORT LABELING OF GMO FOODS AND “FOOD PRODUCTS” (2013) Sponsor: Pat Bath, UMW President for Newman UMC in Grants Pass, OR Many foods and food products are altered genetically. The American people should be able to choose whether they want to be able to eat GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) or not. Without appropriate labeling, we do not know what we are eating; we are uninformed about what is being put in our bodies. All European countries ban or label GMO foods. However, in the United States, individuals and families are not being given a choice because we are refused access to know which products are GMO’s. We, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, support labeling GMO’s. We urge companies to label their GMO products so that consumers can make informed choices. Finally, we urge our political leaders to enact rules requiring the labeling of GMO’s. Actions & Resolutions 145

5. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (1980, 1982, Revised 1986, 1989, 1990, 1993, Revised 1996, 1999,2002, Revised 2005, 2008, revised 2011) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, continuing its witness since 1980 and in harmony with the historic position of our United Methodist Church, reaffirms its opposition to the death penalty, and urges all members of the Conference to actively oppose capital punishment in the states of Oregon and Idaho. Our position is based on our understanding of justice in the teachings of Jesus, and is supported by studies indicating that the death penalty is not a deterrent to murder, and that the penalty is imposed almost entirely on those unable to pay for an adequate defense. We regard the deliberate taking of life as profoundly incompatible with the Gospel’s core teaching of love, mercy and forgiveness. As United Methodists, who have long preached and practiced a social gospel, we are deeply troubled by the fact that the death penalty is imposed disproportionately often on the poor and on members of minority groups. We also believe the unacceptably high error rates in death penalty cases demonstrate that the state is making God-like decisions without God-like powers. Our faith persuades us that there is an image of God in everyone, that each of us is better than the worst thing we have ever done, and that repentance and rehabilitation is always possible. We encourage action for alternatives to the death penalty, such as those proposed in Oregon by “Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty,” www.oadp.org; PO Box 361, Portland, OR 97207- 0361). In Idaho information can be obtained from the Oregon website or from www.deathpenaltyinfo. org.

6. CHILDREN OF SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (2007, 2010, 2013) Sponsor: University Park UMC, Morningside UMC, Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists; MFSA The 2000 Census established that same-gender couples are raising children in 96% of all counties in The United States. Children of same-gender parents often experience economic, legal, and familial insecurity when their bonds to non-biological parents are not legally recognized. Moreover, legal recognition of same-gender relationships increases the ability of adult couples to provide and care for one another and fosters a nurturing and secure environment for their children. Because scientific data overwhelmingly demonstrates that there is no relationship between the sexual orientation of parents and any measure of children’s emotional, psychosocial, and behavioral adjustment [Pediatrics, July 2006]; and because The United Methodist Church believes “the family to be the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect, and fidelity” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]; and because The United Methodist Church “encourage[s] social, economic, and religious efforts to maintain and strengthen relationships within families” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]; we conclude that civil marriage, civil unions, and legally recognized domestic partnerships are beneficial to children, regardless of the gender of the parents, because they strengthen families and help foster financial and legal security, psychological and social stability, and an enhanced sense of societal acceptance and support. We support efforts to legally recognize same-gender relationships and claim that laws which ban the legal recognition of same-gender relationships actively harm the health and well-being of children all over the nation.

7. CLOSE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS (Revised 2003, Renewed 2006, 2009, Revised 2012) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action Continue to support the endeavor to close the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly School of the Americas or SOA) located on the U.S. Army Base at Fort Benning, Georgia. The SOA trains Latin American personnel in inhumane, oppressive tactics such as torture, assassination and kidnapping, to control their populations. This resolution is consistent with the Social Principles P164(A), which clearly oppose the kinds of actions taken by graduates of the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC). Congregations and individuals are encouraged to bring this matter to the attention of the entire conference membership through appropriate action(s), including publicizing the issue in conference, 146 Actions & Resolutions district and local newsletters, conducting education events and especially expressing their will to the President and Members of Congress.

8. COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS (1982, 1986, 1989, 1992, Revised 1995, 1998, 2001, Revised 2004, Revised 2007, 2010, 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action As Christians we believe in the redemptive potential of all people. As United Methodists, “we urge the creation of a genuinely new system of care and restoration of victims, survivors, and their loved ones, as well as offenders, criminal justice officials, and the community as a whole.” (Social Principles, ¶164H, 2012) Therefore, we urge members of the churches within the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to join with others of like mind in helping the correction systems of Oregon and Idaho in the use of community- based restitution, work programs, and other alternatives aimed at rehabilitation of those who have been convicted of crimes. We further encourage members, when appropriate, to actively seek to change regulations which impede or restrict development and placement of such facilities or programs. Remembering the words of Jesus, “I was in prison and you visited me,” (Matt. 25:36) we encourage pastors and lay persons in our congregations to visit and/or minister to persons in correctional institutions, and where possible, upon their release from prison, to assist them in their re-entry into local communities, by helping them secure jobs and housing and inviting them into the fellowship of the church. We also urge congregations to identify and support families of these who have or have had members incarcerated in correctional institutions. We commend the work of organizations such as the Center for Dispute Resolution of the Willamette University College of Law, the Victim Offender Reconciliation Program/Community Mediation Service and the Alternatives to Violence Project, Safe Place Ministries in Idaho and other programs which work with offenders and victims to move toward restoration. We encourage our churches to seek out ways to actively support and/or establish community-based correction services in their communities

9. COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS FREE WORLD (1993, Revised 1994, Revised 1997, Revised 2000, Revised 2004, Revised 2007, Revised 2010, 2013) Be it resolved: That the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference call upon its United Methodist members to affirm the ratification of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) which went into effect on January 26, 2011, and to contact members of the U.S. Senate and urge them to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) which has been on their agenda since 1996. The United Nations will convene a Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in 2015. We affirm the prophetic position of our bishops in their 2009 foundation document and statement in God’s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action: “We persist in demanding that the major nuclear powers reduce their arsenals, step by verifiable step, making a way to a more secure world totally disarmed for nuclear weapons.”

10. CONFRONTING HETEROSEXISM (2010, 2013) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists In communities of transition, the local church shall be regarded as a principal base of mission from which unjust structures of society shall be confronted, evangelization shall occur, and a principal witness to the changing community shall be realized. [Paragraph 212.2] Many of our local churches and the communities they serve are facing transition and have a need to be open to change. Churches that discriminate against gay men, lesbians, bisexual & transgender people re- pel many youth/young adults, limiting the evangelistic ministry of churches in transitional communities. Each local church is called to confront unjust heterosexist structures, and to embrace people long told they are not welcome at church. Together we witness God’s inclusive love for all people. Actions & Resolutions 147

11. CONSUMER RIGHTS IN HEALTH CARE (1996, Revised 1999, 2002, Revised 2005, Revised 2008, revised 2011) Sponsor: 2011 Revision sponsored by Methodist Federation for Social Action The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, in harmony with the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church, believes in health care as a basic human right. We believe it is the responsibility of individuals to live healthy life-styles and the shared responsibility of society to ensure affordable access to health care for all persons. We believe that health care must be accessible to every person, inclusive of every person, affordable to every person, and of the highest possible quality. We support the work of organizations at the state and national levels to achieve these goals. We encourage all members of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to become educated about these issues and organizations: - General Board of Church and Society (Health Care): http://www.umc-gbcs.org - Faithful Reform in Health Care: http://www.faithfulreform.org - Families USA: http://www.familiesusa.org - Universal Health Care Action Network: http://www.uhcan.org - Idaho Community Action Network: http://www.idahocan.org - Oregon Health Action Campaign: http://www.ohac.org

12. CUBA EMBARGO (1995, Revised 1998, 2001, Revised 2004, Updated and Rewritten 2007, 2010, 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We continue to call for our Government to lift the 50 year old Cuban embargo and seek to resume better diplomatic relations with Cuba, and we encourage individual members of all churches within the conference to urge their U.S. Congressional Representatives to work for legislation to lift this embargo. This resolution is consistent with General Resolution 6069 in the Book of Resolutions that was passed in 2008.

14. EMBRACING THE IMMIGRANT (2012) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action When immigrants live in your land with you, you must not cheat them. Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. Lev.19: 33-34. (Common English Version) Rights of Immigrants – We recognize, embrace, and affirm all persons, regardless of country of origin, as members of the family of God. We affirm the right of all persons to equal opportunities for employment, access to housing, health care, education, and freedom from social discrimination. We urge the Church and society to recognize the gifts, contributions, and struggles of those who are immigrants and to advocate for justice for all. Social Principles of The United Methodist Church 2009-2012. ¶ 162. We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Conference and its congregations intentionally seek relationships with and stand in solidarity with immigrant sisters and brothers in our midst; call upon local, state, and federal government bodies to enact comprehensive immigration reform so policies protect the rights and well being of all immigrants; and promote educational resources in local churches to empower members to advocate for the same. 148 Actions & Resolutions

15. ENGAGING THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT (2012) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action; Barbara Nixon As followers of Jesus we are called to not only show compassion for those who struggle, but to address the policies and practices that perpetuate these struggles. If Jesus walked the earth today, he would be standing with and offering support to those who struggle with economic injustice. This means he would be confronting the powers that promote excessive military spending and the policies that create tax breaks for corporations and the extremely wealthy. He would be concerned with a broken safety net that is intended to protect the most vulnerable in society and he would stand with workers (employed and unemployed) for fair wages and policies. This task is daunting. Still, the call upon us as Christians and our history as United Methodists challenges us to do what we can. People from all walks of life, all around the globe in more than 82 countries have joined the Occupy movement in order to do grass roots organizing to address these concerns. Occupy participants in the U.S. and elsewhere have practiced a common non-violent approach and an acceptance of people from all walks of life. Keeping in mind the challenge from John Wesley: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can,” we call upon churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference: to explore the work of the Occupy movement at the local level; to see if there are ways in which the journey for justice is a shared one; to resource the Occupy Movement by sharing core United Methodist Social Principles of non-violence and gender and racial equity; and, in conjunction with any and all persons of good will, to continue the work needed to change policies and practices that prevent fairness and justice for all. We further encourage United Methodists in our conference to engage in discussions regarding the Occu- py movement, and the interactions accomplished and envisioned between people of faith and the Occupy people. News articles and on-line discussions are valuable, especially those telling occupiers’ personal stories and concerns, and those discussing theological insights and actions from people of faith. Current resources and links for Engaging The Occupy Movement will be updated frequently on our UMOI website: www.UMOI.org, under the tabs Ministries, then Peace With Justice by the Peace with Justice Coordinator.

GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE (2005, revised 2008, revised 2011) 2011 Revision Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We resolve to take positive action to curb emissions which may contribute to global warming. As stewards of God’s creation we acknowledge our way of living, specifically our use of energy, creates emissions that warm the planet and threaten all life. We resolve to support the creation of laws and policies that will lead to decreases in the dangerous emissions that threaten our planet. We encourage members to take simple steps to reduce greenhouse gas emission by driving conscientiously by conserving energy in homes and workplaces and by using alternative energy sources whenever possible. We recognize that the global climate is already changing, and stand ready to participate in the church’s response to the likely increase in weather-related disasters. We urge local ministry settings and members to be better stewards of the world’s resources by conserving energy. More information and resources are available from the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, the National Council of Churches, and Oregon PeaceWorks to assist us in conversation and provide us with information for action.

Links to curricula will be made available on the conference web-site. Encourage persons to spend time in prayer and meditation, to discover ways to be peacemakers and to discover ways to help bring peace and reconciliation to the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East. We would also urge our churches to seek ways to advocate for peace in Iraq and Afghanistan with our national leaders, and to help our nation bring our troops home at the earliest time possible.

20. NATIONAL FAIR TRADE POLICY (2009, renewed 2012) Sponsor: Methdoist Federation for Social Action We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church support a national policy of “Fair Trade” with foreign nations for all trade agreements. Further, we support the renegotiation of all existing “Free Trade” agreements to reflect Fair Trade practices and principles. Accordingly, we call for the Conference Peace with Justice Coordinator to annually notify each Oregon and Idaho United States Congressperson of our support of this action and that the Bishop be invited to be a signatory of this annual notification. Further, by this statement, we once again encourage church members and ministries to choose to purchase items certified “Fair Trade.”

21. NATIONAL HEALTH CARE REFORM (2010, 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action The health care system in the United States is predominantly provided through for-profit insurance companies whose annual rates rise dramatically, whose incentive is to provide the least care for the maximum profit, and who leave a staggering number of persons without health care. According to widely published reports, our health care system costs each person nearly twice as much as any other nation while delivering lower quality outcomes. Accordingly our current health care delivery system is incompatible with United Methodist understanding of the Gospel as expressed in our Social Principles. Paragraph 162V (of the 2008 Book of Discipline) declares that health care is a “basic human right” and that the “government has a responsibility to provide all citizens with health care.” Therefore, the OR-ID Annual Conference supports healthcare being available to all persons of all ages to provide comprehensive care (including mental health, vision and dental). Such a system is inclusive, effective, and affordable, equitable and secure and reflects our UM Social Principles.

22. OPEN MEMBERSHIP (2007, 2010, 2013) Sponsor: University Park United Methodist Church The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference expects and encourages its congregations and clergy to abide by the principle: Membership in any local church in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference shall not be denied on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, economic condition, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical ability, or any other status.

23. OPPOSE GUN VIOLENCE FOR THE PROTECTION OF ALL, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN & YOUTH (2001, 2004, Revised 2007, Revised 2010, Revised 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference stands in public witness against all gun violence in towns, cities and rural areas in Oregon and Idaho and across the United States, especially gun violence which kills and injures children and youth. Although law-abiding citizens should be able to buy and keep firearms, there are sensible gun laws that we insist upon when it comes to gun ownership and ending gun violence. With ownership of guns comes responsibility. Thus we call upon our churches and individuals to join national, state and local commitments against gun violence in America, consistent with actions in Resolution 3426, ‘Gun Violence’ in the Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church 2012, pages 490-493. The United Methodist Church must respond to this growing tragedy of thousands of American deaths by guns each year and discuss what role the church should take in facilitating dialogue to address and stop this situation, while acknowledging and educating people that gun violence occurs in all age categories and in mass shootings, gang attacks, suicides, and accidental shootings. The following actions should be taken: Actions & Resolutions 151

• “Educate the United Methodist community including parents, children, youth, and the elderly on all aspects of gun safety, as well as violence prevention, adult responsibility around gun violence prevention, and the public health impact of gun violence.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. This information should be shared with others in their community. • Adults should always provide adequate locked gun cabinet storage for all guns wherever they are located. • Adults should foster a climate of nonviolent conflict resolution in their homes, children’s schools, congregations and community. • Adults should educate themselves regarding media rating systems, and monitor and decrease the places where gun violence is shown, watched or engaged in by children, youths or other adult. This includes gun violence in television programs, movies, the internet and video games. Adults should discuss with children and youth in their home and their community why gun violence is harmful. • Research community needs and provide local alternatives to violence for people of all ages in the community so they can be safe and protected. engaged in safe, interactive situations. We acknowledge that gun violence can involve people in all age categories and in many ways- accidental shootings, mass shootings, suicides and gang attacks. Talk about this crisis in church. • “Identify community-based, state, and national organizations working of the issue of gun violence and seek their assistance to plan and design education and prevention workshops on gun violence,” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. Three such organizations include: Ceasefire Oregon (www.ceasefireoregon.org ) with programs encouraging voluntary gun take-back and buy-back days, and the ASK national campaign (Asking Saves Kids) that urges parents to ask other parents if there’s a gun in their home where the children go to play, since guns can be found in 40% of Oregon homes; Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense in America (www.momsdemandaction.org ) with Oregon chapters in Portland, Mid-Willamette Valley, and Southern Oregon, while other chapters can be organized in OR and ID communities; and Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence, Portland & Eugene/Lane County chapters, (www.bradycampaign.org/ ). Brady State Scorecard for Oregon gun laws was 15 points and for Idaho 2 points out of 100, indicating our communities have weak gun laws which can allow gun violence. • “Develop advocacy groups within local and regional congregations for the reduction of availability of guns in society, including handguns, assault weapons, automatic weapons and conversion kits, large capacity ammunition magazines, and guns that cannot be detected by traditional metal- detection devices. These advocacy groups can be linked to community-based, state and national organizations working on gun and violence issues.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Support federal legislation in the US Congress to regulate the importation, manufacturing, sale, and possession of guns and ammunition by the general public. Such legislation should include provisions for the registration and licensing of gun purchasers and owners, appropriate background investigation and waiting periods prior to gun purchase, and regulation of subsequent sale.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Call upon the federal and state governments to provide significant assistance to victims of gun violence and their families.” (2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence)

24. OPPOSE THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We urge churches and members of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church to oppose the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement being negotiated among Pacific Rim nations including the United States. Standing Resolution #19 National Fair Trade Policy (2009, renewed 2012) makes clear our Annual Conference support for Fair Trade and states that “we support the renegotiation of all existing `Free Trade’ agreements to reflect Fair Trade practices and principles.” As people of faith, we believe that international trade and investment systems should respect and promote the dignity of the human person, ensure the development and well-being of people in all nations, foster gender and racial equality, and lead to environmental sustainability. 152 Actions & Resolutions

PRE-EMPTIVE NUCLEAR STRIKES -- OPPOSITION TO (2003, revised 2006, revised 2009, renewed 2012) Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for God will speak peace . . .Psalm 85 The United Methodist Church has continually reaffirmed its unequivocal stand against the use of nuclear weapons and has affirmed the Council of Bishops’ statement (in their document In Defense of Creation, The Nuclear Crisis and a Just Peace, “We say a clear and unconditional NO to nuclear war and to any use of nuclear weapons. We conclude that nuclear deterrence is a position that cannot receive the church’s blessing.” The United Methodist Church in the 2008 Book of Resolutions affirms its stand against “first strike policy” in the following resolution: “We call upon all nations that possess nuclear weapons to renounce these vile instruments of mass destruction and to move expeditiously to dismantle all nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles. As a first step, we support all movement to ban the ‘first strike’ policy from all North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) doctrine.” As members of The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, we affirm and commit ourselves to actively support the efforts of the Council of Bishops of the United Methodist Church as well as the denomination’s general boards and agencies and other organizations and individuals within both religious and secular communities who are speaking in opposition to the use of preemptive nuclear strikes. We call on all political leaders throughout the world to work with the international community, especially the United Nations, to end the prospect of the use of preemptive nuclear strikes for any reason by any nation state in the world.

27. REJECTION OF WAR AS FOREIGN POLICY (2005, revised 2008, revised 2011) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action, OR-ID Chapter WHEREAS, the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church (para. 165c) declare, “We believe war is incompatible with the teachings and example of Christ. We therefore reject war as an instrument of foreign policy, to be employed only as a last resort in the prevention of such evils as genocide, brutal suppression of human rights and unprovoked international aggression. We insist that the first moral duty of all nations is to resolve by peaceful means every dispute that arises among them…” THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church affirms its commitment to paragraph 165c of the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church, declaring the policy of using the military might of the United States as an instrument of foreign policy to be incompatible with the Social Principles, calling on the current administration to cease and to desist from this policy, to exercise restraint in its disputes with other nations and “to seek to resolve by peaceful means every dispute that arises…” BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we call upon the laity and clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to be actively involved in efforts for peace through the local church and in the connectional life of the United Methodist Church, by being in touch with their Representatives and Senators, through public venues such as newspapers, periodicals and the venues offered by the internet, by praying daily for peace in our world, and through other opportunities as they arise.

28. RESPONSE TO GENERAL CONFERENCE 2012 (2012, revised 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action, OR-ID Chapter It is the sense of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, following the General Church Conference in April-May 2012, that our denomination continues to promote teaching that is incompatible with the inclusive gospel of Jesus in its exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex persons. We concur with the statement of retired Bishop Melvin Talbert who has said: “I declare to you that the derogatory language and restrictive laws in the Book of Discipline are immoral and unjust and no longer deserve our loyalty and obedience.” We will work toward the day when our church will take appropriate steps of repentance and reform its teaching to more fully reflect the inclusive gospel of Jesus Christ.

29. SEEKING PEACE AND JUSTICE IN THE HOLY LAND (2007, Revised 2010, 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action; Active for Peace and Justice (Corvallis First UMC) What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Truly I tell you, just as you did it to the least of these who are the members of my family you did it to me. Matthew 25:40. We affirm Israel’s right to exist within permanent, recognized and secure borders, and we affirm Palestinians’ rights to self-determination and formation of a viable state with secure borders and air space, water rights, and passage rights to the land in their state, whether it is through a one-state or two- state solution. The General Conference in 2004, 2008, and 2012 resolved that, “The United Methodist Church opposes continued military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, the confiscation of Palestinian land and water resources, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the continued building of illegal Jewish settlements, and any vision of a ‘Greater Israel’ that includes the occupied territories and the whole of Jerusalem and its surroundings.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, pg 812]. We are called to support members of Christ’s church around the world, including Palestinian Christians who are being forced to leave the Holy Land due to Israel’s confiscation of their property and the severe hardships of living under occupation. The illegal destruction of Palestinian homes and economy, the confiscation of Palestinian land, and the loss of Palestinian lives, primarily innocent children and civilians, are made possible by the use of 154 Actions & Resolutions armored bulldozers, helicopters, gunships, tanks and other equipment supplied to Israel; while destruction of Israeli property, violence, and loss of innocent Israeli lives are made possible by the use of mortars, guns and bombs supplied to Palestinians. This creates personal harm on both sides and simply increases profits for national and multinational corporations using such deadly activities. The Kairos Palestine Document was issued by 16 Palestinian Christian leaders in Bethlehem on December 11, 2009 (and now signed by over 1200 Palestinian Christians) and calls on churches of the world: “to take a position of truth with regard to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. …We see boycott and disinvestment as tools of non-violence for justice, peace and security for all. ... We repeat once again that this is not revenge but rather a serious action in order to reach a just and definitive peace that will put an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories and will guarantee security and peace for all.” Kairos Palestine Document, December 11, 2009, #6.3 and 7, at [http://www. oikoumene.org/fileadmin/files/wcc-main/2009pdfs/Kairos%20Palestine_Enpdf]. The United Methodist Church should not profit from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land or the destruction of Palestinian homes, orchards, and lives. Our church is committed to ensuring that our Church’s finances are used in a manner consistent with Christ’s teaching, our beliefs, and international law. The Investment Ethics resolution states our policy on Avoidance by Divestment: “This policy prohibits investment in enterprises that have policies or practices that are so morally reprehensible that investment in these companies is not tolerated by the church. …Historically many church investors have refused to invest in major military contractors, companies with nuclear weapons contracts, or companies when they were doing business in South Africa under apartheid, [Book of Resolutions, 2008, Para. 4071, p 592]. We affirm the 2012 statements calling “on all nations to prohibit any financial support by individuals or organizations for the construction and maintenance of settlements; and also to prohibit the import of products made by companies in Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, p 813]. We encourage Oregon-Idaho members of the United Methodist Church to call on our U.S. government, the government of Israel, and the elected Palestinian leadership to reject all acts of aggression and violence, to respect the equality and dignity of all the region’s people, and to forge solutions based on the principles of international law and human rights.

30. STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE (2014) Sponsor: Montavilla United Methodist Church Churches throughout the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference welcome people of various ethnic groups, income levels, ability levels, religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities to find a spiritual home in their congregations. Members of Conference United Methodist churches include people of various sexual orientations who are involved in loving relationships. God calls us to stand on the side of love. We believe all relationships that are grounded in shared affection and are equitable in power reflect God’s will. We support marriage between loving couples—gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, straight, celibate, or otherwise—that reflects such commitments

31. A STATEMENT OF CONVICTION (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: OR-ID Reconciling United Methodists; OR-ID MFSA; Marcia Hauer; Administrative Council of University Park United Methodist Church Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. [Romans 13:10]

The Mission and Ministry of the Church, Section VI: We recognize that God made all creation and saw that it was good. As a diverse people of God who bring special gifts and evidences of God’s grace to the unity of the Church and to society, we are called to be faithful to the example of Jesus’s ministry to all persons. Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the Church, the community, and the world; therefore inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination. [2012 Discipline, ¶140, page 99] Actions & Resolutions 155

Out of concern for the welfare of all God’s people, and out of special concern for the people of The United Methodist Church, we, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, believe The United Methodist Church should remove the following statement from The Book of Discipline (2008 2012): “…The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church.” ¶304.3 Our lives and ministries over the years have included prayerful, thoughtful consideration of our Holy Bible, our Wesleyan heritage, reflection on our experience of the church and world, and our conviction of God’s intention for a world transformed. With this statement of conviction and counsel we seek: • To affirm that the historic tests of “gifts and evidence of God’s grace” for ordained ministry override any past or present temporal restrictions such as race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. • To urge the Church, ecumenical and denominational, to change the manner in which it relates to gay, lesbian and transgendered persons in official statements, judicial proceedings, and in congregational life. • To declare our conviction that the current disciplinary position of The United Methodist Church, a part of our historical development, need not, and should not, be embraced as the faithful position for the future. • To make known our conviction on this matter and to encourage other church conferences to do the same. With increasing frequency we observe and experience the following disturbing realities and know them to be detrimental to the mission of a Church of Jesus Christ: • Laity and clergy, gay and straight, withdrawing membership or absenting themselves from the support of congregational and denominational Church life in order to maintain personal integrity. • Young adults, especially, embarrassed to invite friends and expressing dismay at the unwillingness of our United Methodist Church to alter an exclusionary stance adopted in 1972, long before we came to know of the gifts and graces of lesbian and gay laity and clergy. • Closeted pastors, currently called and ordained in our church, living divided lives while offering effective appreciated ministry. • Bishops being drained of energy by upholding Church Discipline while regarding it as contrary to their convictions. • Bishops caught between care for the Church by reappointing an effective gay or lesbian pastor and care for the Discipline by charging them under current legislation. • Seminary leaders desiring greater flexibility and openness from the church in order to advance their mission of identifying, recruiting, enrolling, educating and spiritually forming Christian leaders. • Christian gay men and lesbian women understanding themselves called of God to seek ministry opportunities within their United Methodist family Church home, but having to decide between leaving to go to accepting denominations, or staying and praying for change, or challenging Church law and accepting punitive actions. Our United Methodist Church, ashamed and repentant in the past, ended official and unofficial restrictions on candidacy, ordination and appointment for reason of race, gender and ethnicity. We believe the God we know in Jesus is leading us to issue this counsel and call – a call to transform our church life and our world. 156 Actions & Resolutions

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Luke 4:18-19 The plight of human trafficking is not only one of the world’s most prevalent forms of criminal activity but arguably the most degrading, preying on the most vulnerable members of society. Human trafficking is defined by the United Nations as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people, either by threat, abduction, deception or abuse of power for the purpose of sexual or labor-related exploitation. According to the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report 2010, the number of adults and children worldwide currently in forced labor, bonded labor and forced prostitution was 12.3 million people, with more people being victims of labor trafficking than of commercial sex trafficking. However, women and children represent 80 percent of those affected. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church supports the abolition of the modern slave trade, or human trafficking as it is called now, that is happening worldwide, in the U.S. and in Oregon and Idaho. Because our two states have major interstate highways intersecting north-south (I-5) and east-west (I-84) with access to Pacific coastline ports, and need many agricultural and service laborers, we are among the states highest in human trafficking. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church strongly urges all local churches Actions & Resolutions 157 to participate in the 2009-2012 quadrennium study of “Abolition of Sex Trafficking,” as approved and recorded in the General Conference 2008 Book of Resolutions (Resolution 6023, p 733). Within Methodism, both United Methodist Women/UMW and United Methodist Committee on Relief/UMCOR have vibrant programs and projects that serve people in the U.S. and overseas who’ve survived human trafficking. We continue to call all local churches in our Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to help end human trafficking here and around the world: (1) by studying the excellent, free, 30 page pdf UMW resource packet, “Human Trafficking: Preventing, Protecting, Prosecuting” (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umw/act/ ) click ‘Human Trafficking’; (2) by inviting UMW members to present this information on Human Trafficking to your congregation or several congregations jointly; and (3) by supporting UMW and UMCOR in their important work with human trafficking victims (UMCOR link: (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/UMCOR/search/index.cfm?keywords=Human)

35. UNITED NATIONS SUPPORT (1993, Revised 1997, Revised 2000, Revised 2003, 2006, 2009, Renewed 2012) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action In concert with the statements of the General Church (see ¶165D, 2008 Book of Discipline), we the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference believe that our Christian faith compels us to work for justice and peace throughout our global community, recognizing the inherent dignity of all God’s people. We support the unprecedented cooperation of the vast majority of the countries of the world to solve international problems of health, education, and the welfare of people through the United Nations and its specialized agencies. Therefore, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church reaffirms its commitment to the United Nations as an instrument of peace in the building and maintaining of a just and stable world. We affirm our support for our United Methodist presence in programs of the United Nations (including UNICEF). We support the active participation of United Methodists in the NGO (Non Governmental Organizations) network uniquely afforded through the United Methodist Office for the United Nations, located across the street from the United Nations. We urge the U.S. government to become current in paying its dues. We encourage local churches to observe United Nations Sunday in our local churches and to become more involved in the programs of the United Nations such as the United Methodist Seminars on National and International Affairs . 36. WE WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE (2010, 2013) Sponsor: Sweet Home United Methodist Church Adult Sunday School When our predecessors framed The United Methodist Church (Article IV), they built the characteristic of Inclusiveness into our church constitution. Later General Conferences specified that “Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the church, the community and the world; therefore, inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination,” and adding that “the mark of an inclusive society is one in which all persons are open, welcoming, fully accepting, and supportive of all other persons, enabling them to participate fully in the life of the church, the community and the world.” [Paragraph 140, 2012 Discipline] There are those in our worldwide church who have argued that non-heterosexuals should be excluded. Some people have promoted legislation that gay men and lesbians should be imprisoned or killed for loving each other. We must continue to speak out, before God, the church and the world, to insist that this is wrong. We therefore admonish members and clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to safeguard the constitutional requirement of inclusiveness, avoiding “every semblance of discrimination” as we represent the church and administer its business. We can do no less. 158 Actions & Resolutions

37. WORLD ACTIONS FOR JUSTICE AND DIGNITY (2012) Sponsor: 2012 OR-ID Legislative Assembly Since 2010 a massive, popular movement of revolution, uprisings and change has continued to spread around the globe with people overthrowing their harsh, wealthy dictators or ineffective governments with failing economies and claiming their right to human dignity and justice. Generally the people have been governed by a select few having massive wealth while most people experience crushing poverty. This first started in Tunisia in late 2010 and quickly spread to Egypt and Libya. Other parts of the world have been experiencing uprisings also, with thousands of Spanish young adults gathering in Madrid’s main square starting May 2011 and thousands of French and Greek citizens advo- cating in their cities. All Many are protesting unemployment and unbridled capitalism, and the collapse of their economy. The U.S. Occupy Wall Street movement began in September 2011 with similar concerns for equality and justice in the face of the challenging economic downturn. Many, if not most, protesters around the world are using non-violent methods of action for changing the stifling status quo because of cruel leaders failed leaders and/or a failing economic system that has created a great divide between the wealthy few and the masses in poverty. Most importantly, people realize that war and violence are not the answer to these problems, and they are striving for justice, fairness and human dignity. Jesus spoke out about these same concerns and used non-violent methods to help create change for the betterment of people. We urge our churches to seek ways to advocate for: peace around the world with our national leaders; and to help our nation and bring our troops, mercenaries, and both Pentagon and State Department military contractors home from Afghanistan at the earliest time possible.

Rules Committee Warren Light, Chair

In 2013-2014, the Rules Committee helped to shape fewer pieces of legislation than recent years, due to fewer submissions. Some of this work involved changing legislation to conform with current rules. Other Action Requests consisted of rule changes, requiring correct numbering, conformation with other current rules, and coherence. This work has been done in preparation for the 2014 Annual Conference Session in Salem.

Looking ahead, we can anticipate further legislation in 2014-2015, requiring checking with existing rules. There will also be a need to re-write a current rule made archaic by legislation passed in a prior year.

Lastly, this year we are asking members of the Annual Conference to submit any ideas regarding rules changes over the summer of 2014, so that we can work with you to write legislation far in advance of Legislative Assembly 2015.

Thank you for your collective efforts in this ministry.

Outreach Team Jim Frisbie, Conference Missions Secretary

The Outreach/Missions Team has been active this year and is actively working to increase out network of involved individuals and our effectiveness. We continue to encourage support of our General Board of Global Ministries missionaries through our apportionments, Advance Specials and Covenant Relationships.

A major emphasis is our participation in Imagine No Malaria, with the enlisting of a field coordinator for the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area.

We have begun work on establishing effective protocols and connections for a conference-wide disaster response team under the leadership of Dan Moseler. Dan brings a depth of experience to his role as Disaster Response Coordinator with his military experience, history on the General Board of Global Ministries and work in two other annual conferences. One of the products of his work is the on-line disaster response guide accessible through the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference web site. Each pastor and lay member of annual conference needs to review these resources. He has also liked us with VOAD, (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster) Red Cross, and the disaster response coordinators of the other annual conferences in the Western Jurisdiction. We are continuing our UMVIM activity with numerous groups traveling to mission sites and places of need. One of the most valuable areas of UMVIM activity is the activity of our youth engaging on mission trips to perform acts of service as they build team spirit and deepen their faith. Though I do not have specific numbers as to how many trips we have had in or from Oregon Idaho, this is an active part of our mission ministry. We are currently recruiting an UMVIM Coordinator to promote, train and coordinate this program in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.

An aspect of our UMVIM mission is the ERT, the Early Response Team, develops opportunities for skilled missioners to go into situations that need serious attention following a disaster. One place they went was Galena, Alaska, where ice in the Yukon River caused several remote towns to be flooded. The ERT members were flown in by FEMA to restore and repair houses. They are similarly on stand-by for a response to the flood-damaged towns in Colorado. This ministry is not for the faint of heart! Pre-Conference Reports 177 We are also continuing our partnership with the Liberia Annual Conference. I have been in contact with Bishop Innis, and endeavor to keep abreast of the events there. Beverly Walker continues to guide this long-standing mission relationship.

Personally I have worked with the GBGM staff and Conference. Mission Secretaries from the Western Jurisdiction to arrange for the itineration of Ken Koome, a GBGM Missionary working in the East Angola Annual Conference. Ken is originally from Kenya, and exemplifies the philosophy of “From everywhere to everywhere” that guides GBGM. Our vision was to have Ken itinerate in the more rural parts of the Western Jurisdiction. After engagements in the Yellowstone and Rock Mountain Annual Conferences he is scheduled to spend a week in Idaho before flying to the central valley of California.

Missionary itineration is a component of Outreach that needs a coordinator. Each year we have a number of missionaries travel to our region to visit churches with which they have a covenant relationship, and we are not doing an adequate job of connecting them with other churches, groups and individuals. We need to remember that we started as a mission outpost 150 years ago, and now we are the supporting and sending organization!

A final word about our future. In less than two years thousands of United Methodists from around the world will descend upon Portland for the 2016 General Conference of our church. Besides coordinating and hosting this event, how are we going to take advantage of these visitors to enhance our connections with the missions and ministries that make us a global church? Along with the delegates there will be alternates, interpreters, mission executives, bishops and staff people attending General Conference. Will we invite these people into our congregations? Will we get to know them? Will we catch their fire and passion for Christ?

I am convinced that resurgence in our passion for mission is a key component of our revitalization as effective congregations. There is no energy in looking inward. The time for that is past. We are called to reach out, and the extent of our vision will determine our future effectiveness as congregations, districts,

Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns Barbara Nixon, chair

OR/ID Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns (CCCUIC) successfully presented a Laity Workshop at Annual Conference last year on the topic of Creating Meaningful Interfaith Relationships. The hope was that we could offer the 2014 Annual Conference some tools for civil discourse about difficult subjects including, theology, to prompt helpful and meaningful discussion amongst Christians; most especially among fellow United Methodists. What we hoped to do simply did not fit in with the conference schedule, so we will continue considering avenues for how we might further what we believe is very necessary work in the coming year. This team is small and members are located all over the conference, so most of our work has been done by email with occasional phone calls.

The United Methodist Deaconesses celebrated their 125th year of existence during 2013-2014. This offered an opportunity for the Oregon-Idaho Archives to focus on its collection of Deaconess materials. With help from volunteers, Oregon Archivist Shirley Knepp inventoried, transcribed and properly stored these materials in the Oregon Archives. The Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Women Executive Team transcribed about 300 pages of minutes and journals of Deaconess material for the period of 1894-1946. 178 Pre-Conference Reports There were displays of Deaconess material at Annual Conference, Mission U, the Annual meeting of United Methodist Women, and at churches that requested the display.

The Archives provided a copy of a photo of a mission rose from Jason Lee’s file to Northwest Rose Association for their research on the mission roses. The Methodist mission rose came about because Rachel Beardsley Beers, wife of mission blacksmith Alanson Beers, brought a cutting of a favorite rose with her when she came west. She presented it as a wedding gift to Anna and Jason Lee. The roses in Willamette Mission State Park are direct descendants from the original rose.

The Oregon-California Trails Association asked the Oregon-Idaho Archives to provide a display of materials and publications at their annual meeting in Clackamas on July 21-27. Don and Shirley Knepp displayed archival materials, as did 30 other historical groups.

There were around 100 inquiries and requests to the Oregon Archives. Ten researchers used archival material from our Archives this year, including two Willamette University students who were doing research on the involvement of Methodist churches during the Japanese interment.

Eugene’s First United Methodist Church’s youth confirmation class visited the Archives and learned about church history.

Books accessed included Sagebrush Seed Thoughts and Parables from the High Country by Don Ian Smith; Life of John Wesley by C.T. Winchester; History of American Methodism by Abel Stevens; Dictionary for United Methodists by Alan K. Waltz; Clarence Darrow’s Unlikely Friend, Clarence True Wilson by Robert Dean McNeil; Through the Year with Wesley compiled and edited by Frederick C Gill; and The Amazing John Wesley, an Unusual Look at an Uncommon Life by H. Newton Malony.

Oregon Archivist Shirley Knepp accessed material from the following closed churches: Laurelwood, Sellwood, Estacada, Willamina, Buena Vista, Salem Leslie, Ontario Community, Light of the Cross- United Methodist Fellowship, Garden Home, and Glory Korean Fellowship.

The Archives received donations from the collections of Clark Enz, Keith R. Maxwell, Charles Wallace and John Denison.

Campus Ministry Higher Education Team Joanne Tilton Rannells, Chair

What amazing and inspirational stories are coming from the nine campus ministries of the Oregon-Idaho Conference. There are vital ministries occurring at The Refuge @ Boise State U., Koinonia House @ Eastern Oregon U., Wesley House @ Idaho State U., Westminster House @ Oregon State U., Wesley Center @ U. of Oregon, Western Compass @ Western Oregon U., The Office of the Chaplains @ Willamette U. Not to be forgotten, campus ministry at Southern Oregon U. provides hospitality in a home for visitors in Ashland, with the hope that this ministry may provide funds for supporting a ministry on campus. Portland State U. no longer has a viable ecumenical campus ministry. An effort to form a United Methodist student group is underway. Are you referring your students to these university ministries?

The 2011 Conference Budget reflected a change in the way various ministries of the conference were funded including campus ministries. Before 2011 Campus Ministries was a line item in the budget. Apportionment payments were distributed to the various line items based on the percent of that line item relative to the entire budget and the percent of apportionment payments received. Beginning in 2011, Campus Ministries was moved to a direct Asking of $150.000. By giving to this fund (Fund #12), 100% of the Asking gift goes directly to support campus ministries. In addition, each individual Campus Ministry has its own Conference Advance Special fund (Boise State #067, Eastern Oregon ##061, Idaho State #068, Oregon State #063, University of Oregon #062, Western Oregon #065, Portland State #064). In 2013, 78 churches contributed to the Campus Ministry Asking for a total of $27, 869.78. Five churches gave a total of $1,266.80 directly to a particular campus ministry though the conference advance specials. Pre-Conference Reports 179 An additional $5,000 came from the Collin Foundation. The hope is, that going forward, the campus ministries and churches in their areas will initiate and strengthen relationships. Our prayer is that more churches and yes, individuals will feel called to support these ministries.

Let me highlight one such ministry, the Koinonia House at Eastern Oregon University. Thank you, Steven Wolff for sharing this inspiring story. Koinonia House is a welcoming Christian Community for all students to connect, share and be challenged through worship, fellowship, exploring Faith and Worship. This is an ecumenical partnership of United Methodist, ELCA, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Christian Church (Disciples) and Roman Catholic. Anchor activity is our Thursday night dinners, which have grown to 60-80 in attendance. We also offer a light breakfast 3 days a week, averaging around 30 students. Volunteers from member churches staff both events, using them as a vehicle for relationship building. Eighteen months ago we welcomed Mark and Lea Emerson of Zion Lutheran Church (ELCA) as volunteer staff members. They have been instrumental in establishing a regular Sunday night worship service, increasing our bible studies and community activities. They are mentoring student cohorts who do all of the planning for our worship and community activities. The Board of Directors has both student and University staff presence, as well as directors from the member congregations. K. House has also deepened its relationship with Haven from Hunger, an emergency food back operated by students from the sociology department at EOU. It is worth mentioning that our United Methodist presence in the EOU Student Ministries is considered part of our North East Oregon Circuit.

Mary Foote Annual Conference Lay Leader

Timothy 4:1-2: In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.

At the 2013 Annual Conference in Boise, I urged those present to share their faith. It’s not our typical behavior as Methodists but allowing others to glimpse God at work in us can change lives. This year has been a time of testimony, listening and action in my life. When those brief “God moment” openings have occurred in conversations – the ones where you could say something about your faith in God or you could just ignore the chance – I stepped up! The ground did not shake, the skies did not open but it felt honest. It felt like a burden lifted. Were seeds planted? We may never know but my faith was certainly strengthened.

October 2013 brought the beginning of a new laity opportunity. The first ever Laity Roundtable was held in the Columbia District. About 25 folks gathered to discuss current happenings, plans and needs. The biannual event will be held in the Crater Lake District at Roseburg UMC in Apr. 2014. We’ll rotate through the districts with a program and time for lots of discussion. Folks throughout the district are encouraged to attend.

Duties on the Board of Lay Ministry were reassigned this calendar year. In an effort to better utilize our resources, the Conference position of Coordinator of Lay Servant/Speaking Ministries was eliminated. The work and reporting in the LSM group happens primarily at the district level. If a conference presence is required, I’m happy to oblige. At this point, no problems have been reported. Bridges were not burned and, if needed, the coordinator spot could be restored.

The Visionary Leadership Project got off to a roaring start in March 2014. 50 laity from OR-ID and PNW met for a weekend of worship, learning and relationship building. Marjorie Suchoki, an advocate for the laity voice in all aspects of ministry, was our guest speaker. We were energized and educated by Marjorie’s information and spirit! VLP is designed to strengthen the faith and leadership in the laity – I 180 Pre-Conference Reports think it’s right on the mark. I’ll keep you up to date on the details for future plans as they unfold. If you’re seeking a deeper commitment, VLP may be the answer.

This second year as conference lay leader has brought me into contact with many more sisters and brothers in faith. I listen to their stories and so easily see the Lord working through them. Working so closely with magnificent servants is truly a gift. My life is enriched by the opportunity to join you in service to Jesus Christ. Thank you.

United Methodist Women Dixie Jacky, Conference President

The United Methodist Women of the Oregon-Idaho Conference enthusiastically welcomed CEO, Harriet Jane Olson, of United Methodist Women, Inc., to our annual meeting, held in October of 2013 at Portland 1st UMC. Ms. Olson challenged us to that in order to do something new, you must give up something old. Accompanying her was Yvette Richards, President of UMW who invited us to attend the Women’s Assembly the United Methodist Women in April, 2014, in Louisville, KY. Women from our conference will be joining women from around the country and around the world to “MAKE IT HAPPEN.” The membership assembled several hundred school kits that were delivered to UMCOR-West.

In July 2013 Mission u (formerly School of Christian Mission) convened for two schools in Newberg, OR, and in Boise, ID with 151 participants attending. The theme was «Learning Together for the Transformation of the World» with the three studies being: The Call: Living Sacramentally, Walking Justly; The Roma of Europe; and Poverty. The 2014 Mission u will include an Ubuntu Day of Service.

During 2013, one hundred fifty-two (152) women from our Conference participated in the United Methodist Women’s Reading Program. These women learned about issues facing women and children as well as expand their concepts of mission here at home and around the world. Collectively, these women read a total of 1490 books on these important topics.

There were no nominees for the Charter for Racial Justice Award during 2013. We continue to urge UMW units and UM churches to study the Charter for Racial Justice and to report and recognize the groups that participate in activities exemplifying the spirit of the Charter for Racial Justice. Nominations are sought annual for this award.

We were pleased to offer Dr. Gertrude Boyd Crane scholarships to Jill Plant, Deena Crandall, Nancy Miller, and Alyssa Baker. Congratulations to these women from the Oregon-Idaho Conference who are studying for advanced degrees in church-related vocations. United Methodist Women has given over $40,000 in financial aid to 64 recipients since the inception of this scholarship in 1985.

United Methodist Women pledged and sent over $135,000 to the National organization of the United Methodist Women for mission work around the nation and the world. In addition to these monies, an additional $13,600 was sent for other mission projects. The local units of United Methodist Women provided well over $40,000 to huge array of various local mission projects.

The Dr. Isobel Zimmerman grant for $2000 was awarded for the second year to Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon to hire an Environmental Justice Intern. This grant provides funding for educational opportunities for Native American or African American and can be applied for annually.

A Legislative Advocacy Day was held at the Idaho State Capitol in Boise, with about 45 women learning about and participating in the legislative process.

Our “Undie Sunday” drive was conducted throughout the Conference with literally tons of underwear items being delivered to Annual Conference and then distributed to agencies in Sage District as well as across the Conference. In addition, many churches chose to hold “Undie Sunday’s” and distribute the items collected to agencies within the neighborhoods of the local churches. Pre-Conference Reports 181 The United Methodist Women of the Oregon-Idaho Conference are striving to turn Faith, Hope, and Love into Action on behalf of women, children and youth around the world.

Council on Finance and Administration Wendy Joy Woodworth, President

This year will be a time of transition for CF&A and our Annual Conference. Bill Mullette-Bauer will be retiring effective July 1, 2014. Bill has been an inspiration to work with these past six years. He has brought both expertise and grace to the position as our Director of Stewardship and Finance. We will be honoring Bill at Annual Conference during the Friday Night Gala Dinner and Awards.

In preparing the job description for our next employee, we learned from Bill that he spent the majority of his time in work related to his role as Treasurer and Benefits Officer. Although, he did have stewardship as a key focus and devoted time to that part of his job, the reality has been that is was less than hoped. In light of that realization, we have renamed the job to Conference Treasurer and Benefits Officer. The change in title does not alter our focus on the importance of stewardship and we included in the job description the qualification of having a strong foundation in stewardship. CF&A supports the work of the conference in the plans that are being made to have workshops in 2014 and 2015 titled “Creating Congregational Cultures of Generosity.” We also support the ongoing roles that Cesie Delve Scheuermann and Bill Mullette-Bauer will have in inspiring and educating our congregations in stewardship.

CF&A is excited to announce that we have selected Belinda Denicola as our next Conference Treasurer and Benefits Officer. Belinda has been the Assistant Treasurer and Benefits Officer for the past 22 years for the Louisiana Annual Conference. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience along with a solid foundation of the work being grounded in stewardship and for the purpose of ministry. You will have a chance to meet and welcome Belinda at Annual Conference. She and her husband are looking forward to moving to the Portland area, being in ministry with us and exploring the great NW. They are excited for this new adventure.

In terms of our financial health, I have good news to share. Our apportioned receipts were 79.23%, the highest percentage since 2007. This enabled us to support our conference budget and pay 90% of our General and Jurisdictional Apportionments, our highest percentage since 1991. Your faithful stewardship is to be applauded and is reflected in 113 church paying 100% of apportionments in 2013, 10 more than in 2012. We also celebrate that every church contributed this year! This level of giving, staying within our spending plan also enabled us to grow our reserves to level that will provide great assistance if we have an unforeseen need in the future.

As we prepare to meet for Annual Conference this year, I want to remind you that our work in CF&A is about more than money. We care deeply about the ministries of each local church and the health and vitality of our Annual Conference. Last year we reflected on personal stewardship during our report time. This year we will focus on congregational stewardship ~ How do you understand giving as a community of faith, what is your corporate understanding as a church? I am looking forward to this discussion.

Our work is about ministry. Our work is about people. Our work is about empowering congregations to share the love of God and grace of Christ Jesus. Our work is about faithful stewardship. Our work is about you, your local church and our Annual Conference. May God’s Spirit be in the midst of all of our work. 182 Pre-Conference Reports ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

1. Between sessions of the Annual Conference, the Council on Finance and Administration shall implement a spending plan based upon anticipated receipts and projected expenses. 2. The first 200 miles to theAnnual Conference session will be exempted from mileage reimbursement. 3. Lay Members entitled to reimbursement under Conference Rule 1.030 will be reimbursed for housing and meals while attending the session; the maximum amount of reimbursement is set at $364 for 2014. 4. The Oregon-Idaho Conference Council on Finance and Administration is authorized to borrow up to $500,000 on an open line of credit to cover essential and authorized expenditures during intervals dictated by cash flow needs. Interest on such borrowed funds will be paid from the “Contingency” line item in the budget. 5. The General Fund is maintained and administered by the Council on Finance and Administration. The General Fund reserve (balance) provides working capital (cash flow) for the operation of the Conference, emergencies and unexpected needs that arise from time to time. The annual net operating results in the budget funds not otherwise designated will provide the basis for the General Fund. The General Fund reserve needs to be large enough ($1.5 million) to support several months of operating expenses for the Conference – to act as a cash flow. 6. The following organizations are given permission to solicit funds among the churches of the Conference without quota: a. Willamette University b. Pacific School of Religion c. Alaska Pacific University d. Rust College e. United Methodist Campus Ministries of the Conference f. Willamette View Foundation g. United Methodist Retirement Center, Salem h. Clergy-mates Emergency Fund i. Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon j. Northwest United Methodist Foundation k. Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Minister’s Retirement Fund l. Partnership with Liberia Annual Conference

Conference Board of Trustees Larry McClure, President

The Oregon-Idaho Conference Board of Trustees held face-to-face meetings on September 30, 2013 and April 4, 2014 with additional electronic meetings on official matters as needed.

A Sacred Trust Local churches hold their buildings and grounds “in trust” for the entire denomination. At the conference level, the Board of Trustees in turn holds “in trust” any church properties, including land, buildings, equipment as well as bequests and donations that may come to it. For these reasons, the 12 members of the Trustees draw on skills in real estate, law, insurance, finance, property management and church ministries. By Discipline, 1/3 of the members are laywomen, 1/3 laymen and 1/3 are clergy. A separate Investment Committee stewards all funds invested by the Annual Conference.

A local church decision to discontinue and abandon its building comes only after long and careful study and prayer by members and always includes consultation with the District Superintendent among others. Pre-Conference Reports 183 The final decision rests with the Annual Conference. During this last year the Trustees completed sales of Sellwood, Laurelwood, Prairie City and Tygh Valley UMCs and are in dialogue with the district superintendents and local trustees for Echo, Metanoia Peace Community (Portland), St. Paul Center (Springfield) and Woodlawn (Portland).

Based on Annual Conference Rule 8.030, funds from sales of churches are distributed this way: 65% to the Annual Conference Vital Church Project; 20% to the District Church Extension Society of the district in which the church existed; and 15% to be retained by the Conference Board of Trustees to be used for expenses incurred in the disposition of properties.

Oregon-Idaho Conference Center The Trustees and Conference Treasurer oversee operation and maintenance of the Center. The building was constructed in 1973 and is located on two lots, one owned by the Conference and one leased from First United Methodist Church in Portland. No major maintenance projects were underway this year. Trustees are grateful for the shared parking and other neighborly benefits of being adjacent to one of our conference churches.

Protection of Denominational Assets Trustees are vitally concerned that properties across the Conference are protected against damages of all kinds. To that end we have asked all local churches and ministry sites to submit a copy of their insurance policies for 2013-2014 so that we might analyze current trends, costs and exposures. The Pacific Northwest Conference has enjoyed reduced costs by pooling its insurance needs and seeking the best provider for recommended coverage. The Trustees are interested in knowing if Oregon-Idaho churches might experience similar results either through a Conference-wide program or joining with PNW. The PNW program is re-bid every two or three years to obtain the most favorable pricing. This study will continue in 2015.

Conference Litigation Related to risk management, the Trustees through the Conference Chancellor and Conference Treasurer have resolved one clergy sexual misconduct lawsuit that has been underway since 2012. Another case filed in 2013 is still pending (as of April, 2014). One lesson from these cases is the importance of local churches maintaining originals of their insurance policies in their permanent files while continuing to provide updated information in official charge conference reports and administrative council minutes. The Commission on Archives and History will need this documentation as well.

Use of United Methodist Name and Logo The cross and flame insignia is a registered copyright of our denomination. Guidelines for its proper use are spelled out in a document available by emailing [email protected]. The familiar logo was created in a very precise way and we all share a responsibility for protecting our United Methodist name and image.

Equitable Compensation Commission Ruth Marsh, Chair

It is the responsibility of the Equitable Compensation Commission to recommend to the Annual Conference minimum standards for pastoral support. As we strive to make sure that pastors receive a living wage, we are continually aware that individual churches may have financial pressures that make paying a living wage difficult. The minimum salary amount for full time clergy in the OR-ID Annual Conference is slightly below average for Annual Conferences within the US. This year, the Equitable Compensation Commission recommends a 1.5% increase in salary and housing allowance mirroring the amount that Social Security was raised at the beginning of 2014.

Compensation from the local church includes cash salary, utilities allowance and a home for the pastor to live in. For the calendar year of 2015 we recommend total minimum compensation, including the use of a parsonage, to be set at the following rate: 184 Pre-Conference Reports Elder in Full Connection/Associate Member: $37,300 Probationary Member: $35,525 Local Pastor: $33,545

In addition, the minimum cash salary should be increased by $100 per year of service in the United Methodist Church, capped at a maximum of ten years or $1,000.

If an adequate parsonage is not available for the use of the pastor then a housing allowance shall be paid in addition to the above minimum compensation. We recommend that housing allowance be set at $14,210 annually in the Portland metro area and at $12,180 in other areas of the Annual Conference.

The Equitable Compensation Commission recommends the following housing guidelines relating to compensation:

1) For the purposes of housing policy, every parsonage will be considered as meeting the minimum compensation package. This is true whether the clergy are working full-time or part-time.

2) In lieu of a parsonage, churches will pay a housing allowance to the clergy as part of the total compensation package. The allowance will be at least commensurate to the percentage of employment (e.g. one quarter-time receives one quarter the housing allowance, one half-time receives one half the housing allowance.)

3) The amount agreed upon at the beginning of the appointment year will be in force until the next appointment year.

4) Churches and pastors may apply for an exemption to housing allowance recommendations under certain conditions. (For example, a pastor already has a house in the area or adequate housing is easily available in the local community for a lesser rate.) If no exemption is applied for, churches must pay the housing portion of the ministerial compensation package.

The Commission also recommends, but can not require, that business and professional expenses, which are not part of a pastor’s compensation, be set at no less than $3,000 annually. This is the same amount as last year.

The Commission has requested that the Council on Finance and Administration set our budget for 2015 at $60,000 including $1,500 for the administrative costs of the Commission. This is the same amount as last year.

Board of Pensions Danna Drum, Chair

The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Pensions has a lot of good news to share with the 2014 Annual Conference Session. Some of the highlights include: • For the first time, the post-retirement health benefit plan is 100% funded, which means that all health and retirement benefits are fully funded. • Because health insurance claims paid were lower than premiums paid and investment returns on HealthFlex reserves exceeded expectations, the Board of Pensions received a rebate of over $540,000 hat was allocated to local churches, increased wellness incentives for plan participants, a clergy renewal leave fund, and support for the Health Reimbursement Account benefit for retired clergy • The blended active participant HealthFlex premium rate will remain unchanged from 2014 at $1250 per month with no changes to the benefits plan. Pre-Conference Reports 185 Health and Wellness Benefits Health insurance benefits continue to be provided through the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits HealthFlex Program. Active participants have opportunities to participate in wellness activities and receive incentives, including an annual health questionnaire and routine screening. Participation in these opportunities is clearly paying off as demonstrated by our positive claims experience. All premium costs are directly billed and have not been included in apportionments in quite some time.

The Board of Pensions is in its second year of providing a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) benefit for retired clergy. In 2015, the HRA stipend will increase by three percent:

2015 HRA Benefit for Retired Clergy Single Couple Retirees with more than 20 years of pre-82 $2,163 $4,326

Retirees who retired before January 1, 2011 $618 $1,236 At least 5 but fewer than 10 years of service $1,236 $2,472 At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $1,545 $3,090 30 or more years of service $1,854 $3,708

Retirees who retired after December 31, 2010 At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $927 $1,391 At least 20 but fewer than 30 years of service $1,236 $1,854 30 or more years of service $1,854 $2,781

Note: Years of service apply to years of service in the Oregon-Idaho and Alaska Conferences with pension and benefit claim upon the conference.

The Board of Pensions continues to track the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits is identifying potential ACA impacts and is developing some new health benefit options for consideration in the coming years. While we expect future changes in how health insurance benefits are provided for our participants, any changes will be communicated and implemented in a step-wise fashion. At this time, the Board of Pensions has determined that no changes are necessary or desirable in 2015.

Pension and Welfare Plans Due to changes made to retirement benefits by previous General Conferences, there are three retirement plans for which the Board of Pensions has responsibility: the Pre-82 Pension Plan, Ministerial Pension Plan, and the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP). Depending on when clergy began their service, they may receive retirement benefits from one to three of these plans. CRSP was most recently modified in 2013. Funding for CRSP is supported through direct billings to local congregations at 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation. All three plans are fully funded.

The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides clergy death benefits, survivor children benefits, minimum surviving spouse benefits, and long-term disability benefits. CPP funding is now also directly billed to the local churches or to the appropriate salary-paying unit. 186 Pre-Conference Reports Recognitions The Board of Pensions recognizes the following persons:

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Annual Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits presents the following recommendations for your consideration and action.

Health Benefits 1. The Conference Board of Pensions, in consultation of the Council on Finance and Administration, is authorized to adjust the Conference Budget for Health Insurance Premiums and the monthly billed amount between sessions of the Annual Conference, if necessary, due to the receipt of new premium rate information from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. 2. The Conference Board of Pensions is authorized to adopt new eligibility policies as required by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits for the HealthFlex Program. These policies may include procedures for the cancellation of coverage due to various circumstances. The effective date of these policies will be determined as required by the General Board. 3. The Conference Treasurer is authorized to bill 100 percent of Health Care Insurance Premiums to local churches. Fifty dollars will be billed to the participant for coverage other than the participant. 4. The active HealthFlex plan will be either choice (1) PPO B1000 (P2) – prescription Percentage co-pay OR choice (2) the Consumer Driven Health Plan – (CDHP P2). 5. The retiree health insurance plan is a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) stipend based on the number of years of service in the Oregon-Idaho and Alaska Conferences per the table above. 6. The following Health Insurance policies be continued: a. No premium subsidy or stipend will be granted to participants retiring prior to the age of Pre-Conference Reports 187 their Medicare eligibility. They shall be responsible for the full payment of their health insurance premium. Those who are eligible to retire under the forty-year rule (¶358.2c)) will be granted an exception to receive the retired subsidy or stipend for their health insurance premium. Upon reaching the age for Medicare eligibility, and enrolling in the Medicare program, the clergy member shall be eligible for conference subsidy or stipend based on the then current schedule as approved by the annual conference. b. The conference shall pay 100 percent of the premium payment for those persons eligible for benefits under CPP or BPP Disability programs. After one year the conference will pay the premium for the participant and 50 percent of the premium for the spouse and/or family.

Pension and Welfare Plans 1. Effective January 1, 2015, the Pre-82 (MRPF) past service rate for ordained and local pastors shall be $570 per service year, with 70 percent continuing payment to the surviving spouse, and that Addendum A of the Clergy Retirement Security Program be so amended. 2. Concerning the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church for CRSP at the rate of 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation (including cash salary plus utilities and housing allowance [25% of cash salary if parsonage is provided], plus any tax deferred annuity and/or contribution towards Social Security) for eligible clergy. Local churches served by retired clergy are exempt from this billing. 3. The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church (with a pastor appointed three- quarter time or full time) at a rate of 3.2 percent of the pastor’s plan compensation for the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) for eligible clergy. 4. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 12-14, 2014 approves the Addendum: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. 5. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 12-14, 2014 approves the 2015 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan for the Oregon-IdahoAnnual Conference, as submitted by the Conference Board of Pensions and approved by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits.

Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference 2015 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan Summary The 2012 Book of Discipline ¶ 1506.6 requires that each annual conference develop, adopt and implement a formal comprehensive funding plan for funding all of its benefit obligations.The funding plan shall be submitted annually to the General Board of Pension and Health benefits for review and be approved annually by the annual conference, following the receipt and inclusion of a favorable written opinion from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBOPHB).This summary document is only a portion of the information contained in the actual signed funding plan. As such, it might not contain all the information required for a comprehensive view of the benefit obligations of the conference. You may request the full contents of the 2015 comprehensive benefit funding plan from your conference benefit office.

Following is the summary of the Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan (CBFP) that received a favorable written opinion from GBOPHB for the 2015 conference benefit obligations:

Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC)

Plan Overview: The Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) is an Internal Revenue Code section 188 Pre-Conference Reports 403(b) retirement program providing lifetime income and account flexibility designed for those who serve as clergy of The United Methodist Church. The plan is designed to provide participants with one portion of their overall retirement portfolio. CRSP replaced the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) effective January 1, 2007, which replaced the Pre-82 Plan for service rendered prior to January 1, 1982

CRSP consists of both a defined benefit (DB) plan, which provides a monthly benefit at retirement based upon years of credited service to the Church, and a defined contribution (DC) plan, which provides a retirement account balance established and funded by annual conferences. The Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP-DB) annuities total liability as of January 1, 2013 is $923.7 million, while total plan assets are $978.5 million resulting in a current plan funded ratio of 106%. The Oregon-Idaho Conference portion of the liability is .72% and the 2015 contribution is $681,478. The conference anticipates that this amount will be funded by direct billing of the salary-paying unit.

Additionally, General Conference 2012 approved a change to CRSP that provides each annual conference the discretion to determine whether to cover three-quarter and/or half-time clergy. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference has elected to cover clergy serving 50%+ under CRSP effective January 1, 2015.

Effective January 1, 2014 the CRSP-DC plan was reduced from a 3% to a 2% of plan compensation non-matching contribution. Clergy will have the opportunity to earn up to an additional 1% CRSP DC contribution by contributing at least 1% of their plan compensation to UMPIP, therefore if a participant contributes at least 1% of plan compensation to UMPIP, the individual will receive a contribution of 3%, which is unchanged from 2013 and prior. The 2013 CRSP-DC contribution was $206,548 and was funded by direct billing to the salary paying unit. It is anticipated that increases for future years will average 2.50%, which is representative of clergy salary increases over the last many years.

Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) Plan Overview: The Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) provides clergy with a pension for their years of ministry with The United Methodist Church from 1982 through 2006. MPP is an Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) retirement plan. Effective January 1, 2014, exactly 65% of the account balance must be annuitized when it is to be distributed. The remainder may be rolled over to UMPIP, another qualified plan or IRA, or paid in a lump sum.

The Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) annuities total liability as of January 1, 2013 is $2.7 billion, while total plan assets are $3.0 billion resulting in a current plan funded ratio of 109% and no required contribution for 2015. The Oregon-Idaho Conference’s portion of the total liability is .79%. Future MPP annuitants have a total account balance of $4.4 billion and the Oregon-Idaho Conference’s portion of that balance is $38.74 million or .88% of the total.

Pre-1982 Plan Plan Overview: Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), also known as the Pre-82 Plan, provides clergy with a pension for their years of ministry with The United Methodist Church prior to 1982. The Pre-82 Plan was replaced by MPP effective January 1, 1982. When a participant enters a Retired relationship with the Conference, and does not terminate, the minimum benefit payable to them is based on two factors: 1) years of Service with pension credit and 2) Conference pension rate. Years of Service with pension credit are approved by each Conference on the recommendation of the Conference Board of Pensions in accordance with plan provisions and The Book of Discipline. The pension rate, also called the past service rate (PSR), is the dollar amount chosen by the Conference as the amount payable for each approved year of Service with pension credit. Typically, the pension rate changes from year to year. The number of years of Service with pension credit is multiplied by the PSR, and the product is the minimum annual benefit payable to those eligible for Pre-82 Plan benefits. In certain situations the benefit received from the Pre-82 plan, may vary based on the applicability of what is referred to as Defined Benefit Service Money (DBSM), which is the defined contribution feature of the Pre-1982 Plan. At the time that a participant retires, the DBSM account is converted to a life based benefit.At that point the participant’s benefit is the greater of the PSR benefit or DBSM benefit. As the conference increases the PSR, the participants benefit is recalculated; however the DBSM based benefit does not change. Pre-Conference Reports 189 The 2015 Past Service Rate (PSR) recommended to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference will be $570.00 representing a 2.33% increase from the 2014 rate. The conference expects future increases to be approximately 2.50%, which is based on the conference’s intention to increase the PSR at a rate that will keep it at 1% of CAC.

The contingent annuitant percentage is recommended to remain at the 70% level.

Based on the final actuarial valuations from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits as of January 1, 2013 for 2015, the portion of the Pre-82 liability attributable to the Oregon-Idaho Conference and funded status is, as of 1/1/2013, as follows: Funding Plan Liability $18,558,996 Assets in the Plan $20,397,807

The current funded status is $ 1,838,811 representing a 110% funded ratio.

The funded ratio is recalculated each year based on economic and demographic changes. Such changes create the possibility that Pre-82 contributions may be required at a future date.

In addition to the assets in the Plan, the Conference Board of Pensions maintains a reserve account to cover unexpected required contributions due to economic or demographic changes. As of 1/1/14 this reserve account was valued at $2,837,389.

As outlined above, given the funded status of the Pre-82 Plan for the Oregon-Idaho Conference, the Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP) intends to redirect Pre-82 assets in the amount of $2,098,603 on 12/31/14. The conference intends to continue to redirect any surplus funding which results from market returns which exceed our assumptions and create a situation in which the plan is funded in excess of 100%. Any excess funding will be used for CRSP-DB payments or Pre-82 swaps. The conference recognizes that using Pre-82 overfunding in this way increases the possibility of additional Pre-82 contributions being required in the future.

Defined benefit plan liabilities (Pre-82, MPP and CRSP-DB) continue until the last benefit is paid to participants and their surviving spouses irrespective of the funding level of the plan. That is, even if the assets in the plan are larger than the liabilities in the plan, the conference still has a liability (obligation) with the plan.

Active Health Benefit Program Plan Overview: The Oregon-Idaho Conference offers a Self-Insured program to the active participants. During the 2013 year, the total cost of the program was $1,615,593 and was funded by direct billing of the salary paying unit. The projected average increase for future years is expected to be 2%, based on the past 6 years of claims experience.

Post-Retirement Medical Benefit Program (PRM) Plan Overview: The Oregon-Idaho Conference post-retiree medical plan currently offered is a stipend plan. The conference provides a stipend program which funds a health reimbursement account (HRA) for each eligible retiree. The current annual cost of this benefit will be $356,400 for the year. $100,000 will come from apportioned funds with the remainder coming from the designated assets of the plan. On a longer term basis the Oregon-Idaho Conference Board of Pensions has established an account to fund the obligation and will add to the account through apportionments to fund future benefits obligations.

Based on the most recent PRM valuation dated 12/31/12, following is the funded position of the post- retiree medical benefits: Accumulated Post Retirement Obligation (APBO) or net conference cost $5,255,796 Expected Post Retirement Obligation (EPBO) or net conference cost $5,951,226 Service Cost (SC) or net conference cost $87,828 Assets designated for PRM $6,642,589 190 Pre-Conference Reports These values are based on 3.50% long term discount rate and a current increase trend of 8.00% decreasing to 5.00% by 2019.

Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) Plan Overview: The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides death, long-term disability and other welfare benefits for eligible clergy of The United Methodist Church and their families and is an Internal Revenue Code 414(e) “church plan” funded by plan sponsor insurance premiums. Generally, you are eligible to participate in CPP if your conference or salary-paying unit sponsors the plan and you satisfy the eligibility requirements which include full-time episcopal appointment and plan compensation equal to or greater than 60% of the Denominational Average Compensation or the Conference Average Compensation whichever is less. The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference has elected to make CPP-eligible clergy, who are appointed at least ¾ time, have mandatory participation, while clergy appointed less than ¾ time have optional participation under special arrangements.

Currently (for 2013) the Oregon-Idaho Conference has a required contribution to the Comprehensive Protection Plan of $202,021, which is anticipated to be funded by billing premiums to the salary payiing units. The anticipated average increase in future years is expected to be 2.50% per year due to changes in clergy compensation

United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) for Lay and Clergy Plan Overview: The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) is an Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) defined contribution retirement savings plan for clergy and lay employees of The United Methodist Church and affiliated organizations. Participants may make before-tax and/or after-tax contributions through payroll deductions. Participant contributions, contributions your plan sponsor may make on the participants behalf and investment earnings comprise the individual’s retirement account balance.

Conference lay employees working an average of 20 hours per week or more are eligible for a pension contribution of 12% of salary. Lay employees become eligible the first full month of employment and become vested after 6 months. Lay employees are encouraged to contribute personal funds toward their retirement through payroll deductions to the UMPIP. The estimated contribution for the Oregon-Idaho Conference is anticipated to be $45,935. This cost is included in the staff budgets of the conference and apportioned to the churches

Other Conference Defined Contribution Type Obligations Plan Overview: The Oregon-Idaho Conference currently provides retirement grants to clergy not covered by the vesting rules of the Pre-82 Plan. The contribution for 2013 was $3,682 and is funded through apportionments. The benefit is fixed so no increases are anticipated.

Plan Overview: The Oregon-Idaho Conference currently provides a long-term disability and life insurance for lay employees who work at least 30 hours per week. The cost for 2013 was $7,842 and is funded through apportionments. The anticipated average increase in future years is expected to be 2.50% per year due to inflation.

Plan Overview: The Oregon-Idaho Conference currently offers a life insurance benefit for eligible retired lay employees. The contribution for 2013 was $4,480 and is funded through apportionments. The anticipated average increase in future years is expected to be 2.50% per year due to inflation.

Conclusion: The 2015 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan and the above outlined Summary document incorporates to the best of our understanding, the Oregon-Idaho Conference’s obligations and funding requirements of the benefits provided to the Clergy and Laity of the Oregon-Idaho Conference. Pre-Conference Reports 191 ADDENDUM: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference

The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for active, retired, terminated, or disabled clergypersons of the Conference:

WHEREAS, the religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed ministers of the Church (“Clergypersons”); and

WHEREAS, the practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active Clergypersons with a parsonage or a rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation; and

WHEREAS, pensions or other amounts paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as an appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for Clergypersons who are or were members of this Conference and are eligible to receive such deferred compensation;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

THAT an amount equal to 100% of the pension, severance, or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (“GBOPHB”), during the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, by each active, retired, terminated, or disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson; and

THAT the pension, severance, or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance designation applies will be any pension, severance, or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefits accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefit under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson’s pension, severance, or disability plan benefit as part of his or her gross compensation.

NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal (and, in most cases, state) income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2), and regulations thereunder, to the least of: (a) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolutions) for such year; (b) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or (c) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Each clergyperson or former clergyperson is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor to determine what deferred compensation is eligible to be claimed as a housing allowance exclusion. 192 Pre-Conference Reports BOARD OF PENSIONS INFORMATIONAL DATA

It’s difficult for me to believe that this is the last time I will prepare this report.

Things have changed dramatically over the past six years. In 2008 we were beginning to experience signs of the great recession. The recession sparked us to look at sustainability issues for the conference and for our congregations. Although the economic decline didn’t cause our financial difficulties, it did compel us to focus on some longer-standing issues.

Although all of our sustainability issues are not yet resolved, 2013 was a pretty good year. While we are still a long way from attaining 100% receipts of our Shared Ministry Apportionments, we saw a significant increase this past year. In 2013 we received 79.2% of the apportioned budget compared to 74.4% the prior year. Additionally we had 113 of our churches pay 100% or more compared to 101 in 2012; 149 churches equaled or increased their giving and there was no church which paid zero! These are all good signs.

As a result of this generosity we were able to pay our General and Jurisdictional apportionments at 90%. This is the highest percentage since 1991 when we paid them at 91%! It reflects our commitment to the connectional system.

While we seek to improve support for Shared Ministries Apportionments, our Council on Finance and Administration has been responsive to the financial pressures local congregations are experiencing. Since 2008 the apportioned budget has decreased by over $1 million. At the same time, we have aligned our budget with our mission, focusing our resources on the health and vitality of local congregations.

This past year we’ve also been able to fully fund our post-retirement health plan for our retirees. While several conferences have accomplished this by eliminating their plan, we have made adjustments so that we can continue to support those who have served this conference in a manner that is both sustainable and affordable. On a related matter, due to the changes made to the Clergy Retirement Security Program by the 2012 General Conference, the amount that is being billed to the local churches for pension is covering our actual cost, and is no longer being subsidized with reserve funds.

Excellent investment returns brought our General Reserve Fund back at the desired level. You may remember when CF&A chair, Ted Wimer alerted us to this concern only a few years ago.

We hired a part-time assistant treasurer for Camp and Retreat Ministry this past year. Our hope is that this will provide better service to our camps and will right-size the work load for our Assistant Treasurer/ Controller. This is another concrete way in which the annual conference Shared Ministry Apportionments support our camping program.

We reported last year that we had adopted new accounting software. While the conversion was a challenge, we are now successfully into our second year. It has increased our efficiency. Additionally, it has allowed us to experiment with providing payroll services to smaller congregations. We field a lot of questions about payroll, and realize it is a burden for small church volunteer treasurers. The experiment seems to going well.

It has been a joy to serve the Oregon-Idaho Conference as the Director of Stewardship & Finance. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the clergy and laity of the conference including the staff of dedicated individuals in this area of stewardship and finance, including Sandra Reinemer, Assistant Treasurer & Controller; Lisa Pronovost, Assistant Benefits Officer & Payroll; Jerryn Johnston, Accounts Receivable & Payable; Jennifer Aldrich, Assistant Treasurer for Camping and Sally Blanchard, Administrative Assistant.

I look forward to continuing our relationship in new ways into the future. 194 Pre-Conference Reports United Methodist Ministers’ Retirement Fund Betty Foster, President

A hundred and fifteen years ago a group of visionary Methodists established what has become the Oregon-Idaho Conference United Methodist Ministers’ Retirement Fund. Originally constituted to provide pensions for retirees of the Oregon Conference, it continues to support the retirement plan for Oregon-Idaho clergy through an annual gift to help offset the required contribution to the current Clergy Retirement Security Program.

Over just the past 20 years, UMMRF has given over $2 million to the Oregon-Idaho Conference to reduce the contribution required from local churches. Last year the gift was $91,400 and this year it will be $95,444, continuing the policy of contributing 5% of the three-year ending balance of our funds.

In addition to investment earnings, we seek to continue to grow the fund through our annual solicitation of both active and retired clergy during the fourth quarter of the year. We encourage you to remember UMMRF in your will or other estate planning vehicle.

The UMMRF is directly connected to the annual conference through the election of its directors. We request that you elect the members of the Board of Directors that we have placed in nomination.

Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries Karen Nelson, Chair Camp matters! It matters to children, youth and adults in our congregations and in our local communities. Camp matters because it has the ability to transform lives, to bring forth wholeness and growth and creativity. Camp is about developing relationships with God and with one another.

The mission of Camp and Retreat Ministries is to create quality environments of Christian hospitality and learning. We nurture persons so that they may grow in wisdom and healthy self-esteem; develop lifestyles of loving interdependence with each other and all of creation; and affirm and expand their faith in God and their service as Christian disciples within God’s world.

This mission informs all that we do. Our camp and retreat programs are designed to enhance and develop spiritual practices in campers of all ages. Passionate worship, intentional faith development, and radical hospitality are among those practices taught and practiced by staff and campers. We offer more than 100 events that intentionally engage leadership development, spiritual nurture, just community, and pathways of healing. In addition to the programs we offer, many of our conference churches use our sites to develop and run their own weekend retreats for small groups or entire congregations. Our sites are also places of radical hospitality for other non-profit groups from around the area and beyond.

During this past year, we have continued to live into our new governing structure with a single board. We have utilized technology to assist in conducting some meetings via phone conference, thus saving travel expenses for board members throughout the conference. We have welcomed new site directors at Camp Latgawa this year. We are exploring ways to work with the Pacific Northwest Conference camps and recently had an opportunity to meet with their Camp Board at a Jurisdictional Training Event held at Camp Magruder.

To continue to build relationships with our local churches and assist them in making disciples, as well as to celebrate the many volunteers that connect our churches and camps, we launched a new event this year. This overnight event at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center was an invitation to a group of volunteers to celebrate their work and to provide them with further training in reaching out to churches to share the resources and availability of camping programs. Our long-range goal is to make a connection with all of our churches as a resource to building healthy, vital congregations and providing places where people can step out of their normal routines and focus on their faith development in ways that they can carry back into the work with their local church. Pre-Conference Reports 195 As our active campaign for Time to Grow comes to a close, we want to celebrate the many ways in which we have been able to enhance the facilities at our sites: Suttle Lake Camp has a new shower house and welcome center and two new activity pavilions; Wallowa Lake and Sawtooth Camps are building offices/ welcome centers; Camp Latgawa is improving two bathhouses and designing meeting space for groups; Camp Magruder has upgraded cabins and lodges and reworked Shorehouse to accommodate families. Additional projects continue as pledges and grants provide for funding into the future.

After extensive study by three different task forces to find a new southern Oregon camp and retreat site, the conclusion has been reached that Camp Latgawa provides the best resource available in the area. This site has also been strengthened by partnerships with other non-profits in southern Oregon.The Camp and Retreat Board believes that it is now time to release the Sourthern Oregon Project Fund, established in 1997 from the proceeds of the sale of Loon Lake Camp, to be divided to continue fulfilling the intent of strengthening camp/retreat opportunities for the people of the churches of southern Oregon in carrying out their ministries. (motion follows.)

The Camp and Retreat Ministries Board recommends that the Southern Oregon Project Fund, established in 1997 from the proceeds of the sale of Loon Lake Camp, be divided to continue fulfilling the intent of strengthening camp/retreat opportunities for the people of the churches of southern Oregon in carrying out their ministries.

$150,000 to the Camp Latgawa Development Fund. (For immediate use to upgrade showerhouses/bathrooms, meeting and lodging spaces. Balance to the Latgawa Maintenance Reserve Fund.)

$150,000 to the CARE Fund (to grow the endowment principal).

$155,618 or balance to the CARE Project Fund (administered by the Facilities and Property Division of the Board of Camp/Retreat Ministries. Funds are applied for by sites to address needs that address safety and health, maintenance, and improvements.)

Board of Ordained Ministry Jeremy Hajdu-Paulen, Chair As reported last year, the Board of Ordained Ministry’s focus for the 2012-16 quadrennium is “recruiting, nurturing, preparing, and credentialing excellent and outstanding clergy people from the initial stages of candidacy through the first five years of ministry after licensing or ordination.”We continue to pursue aspects of this ambitious focus statement.

Since last year, the Board of Ordained Ministry is working with fewer candidates. At the time of this writing, there are just two provisional clergy members of the annual conference. We had no applicants for full membership this year, which is why there will not be an ordination service at this annual conference session. This has underscored dramatically the need for recruitment. The Board has appointed Courtney McHill as our recruitment coordinator and we are working with each District Committee on Ordained Ministry to improve the way we contact and interact with potential candidates. We request that everyone in our annual conference help us with this task by asking the question “Have you considered ministry?” of any person in whom can be seen the gifts and skills for ministry.

This year we will be implementing the new Disciplinary requirement called “Orientation to Ministry.” This event is an opportunity for potential ministry candidates, as well as candidates in the early stages of candidacy, to learn more about the variety of set-apart ministries—deacons, elders, and local pastors. The event will help make distinctions among the categories of ministry and is required as a part of the candidacy process. One benefit of this event is that all candidates and potential candidates will receive the same information at the same time. The Board will have mentors present who can answer questions and help illuminate the often confusing candidacy journey. We also hope this event will be inspirational as candidates and current clergy share call stories and celebrate the many ways that God calls God’s people into service. 196 Pre-Conference Reports Another development at the Board is the hiring of a quarter-time administrative assistant to help the Board with its many responsibilities. This administrative assistant will do much of the tracking of candidate records, paperwork, file maintenance, and other administrative tasks, which will free members of the Board to focus on developing strategies to address the broader issues with which we struggle.

Members of the Board of Ordained Ministry put in countless hours and effort to do the work that is its responsibility. Much of the work of the Board happens behind the scenes. We undertake our work with integrity and an awareness of its importance to the church now and in the future. We are grateful for the support and encouragement of many as we do our very best to provide principled Christian leaders for the church as we all seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Conference Response Team Bonnie McOmber, Coordinator

The mission of the Conference Response Team (CRT) is to facilitate congregational healing when a situation threatens its spiritual wholeness. (The OR-ID conference response team began in 2001. For more information on response teams see 2012 Book of Discipline P363 and Book of Resolutions #2043.)

Scope of Work The CRT sees their role as responding to a hurting congregation by offering a safe and sacred place for people to begin processing the questions, concerns, emotions and faith challenges raised by a crisis impacting their congregation or ministry setting.

The CRT has empathy, compassion and counseling skills specific to faith and spiritual challenges that could be help a congregation/ministry setting begin to cope with: Church organization or structural issues that cause anxiety and stress in a congregation including such things as yoking or blending of congregations, church closures, changes in worship space due to unanticipated damage or financial necessity; Issues arising out of an unexpected change in pastoral leadership or other staff in a congregation. These could include an unanticipated leave of absence, an illness or a termination for cause, etc. Accusations against a pastor or other church member regarding a possible criminal offense, a possible chargeable offense, or accusation against any church member based on ethnicity, gender, age, or sexual harassment; Grief in a congregation over the sudden death of a pastor or lay person in the congregation; grief over a pastoral divorce or any other loss experienced by the congregation; Helping a congregation respond to a disaster of tragedy that impacts not only the congregation but also their friends, families and neighbors; Any other instance as requested by the Bishop or the Bishop’s representative.

The CRT is not called to any judicial or disciplinary processes for legal resolution of a situation and currently is not able to engage in prolonged conflict resolution processes. In every instance the team works closely with the District Superintendent for that congregation to insure that follow up action is taken by appropriate resources.

Members of the CRT are recommended to the Bishop and Cabinet for approval and then appointed. Members agree to serve for a minimum of four years and receive necessary training to fulfill the mission of the CRT.

During the last year, the CRT has recruited new members and held a training event for the new members and team. The training focused on the role and responsibilities of the CRT, processes for responding to hurting congregations, and spiritual grounding of the work of the CRT. Pre-Conference Reports 197 Safe Sanctuaries Warren Light, Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator

Annual Conference legislation items to update Safe Sanctuaries standards and template include the following words:

“God cares for all. God suffers when children, youth, and vulnerable adults suffer. The United Methodist church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God . . . [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulnerable and support for survivors of sexual violence. This [policy] is a core missional statement . . . .”

A new Safe Sanctuaries Team is being formed so that reviews may be done in a consistent manner, addressing changes in law and updates in our understanding of what it means to be a safe community in Christ. We encourage anyone with questions or ideas to contact us at [email protected] or 541.346.4694.

Vital Church Project Rev. Stephan W. Ross

The Vital Church Project (VCP) is in its third year of existence. Bishop Bob Hoshibata created the full-time position of VCP Director on July 1, 2012, and I have been privileged to serve in that position since that time. The VCP Director serves as a member of the Appointive Cabinet and of the Ministry Leadership Team.

The responsibility of the VCP and of the Director has been to develop, support and manage conference initiatives in three areas: revitalization of existing congregations (CLD and consultations), establishment of new faith communities (New Start Initiative), and ongoing leadership development for our local churches and extension ministries (Life Long Learning Initiative).

This past year participation in the basic programs of the VCP has declined somewhat as many of our congregations had already participated and are still working out the implications of what they have learned. In the 2013-14 year 10 congregations participated in the CLD course. As of May 2014 seventy- four congregations have been through the CLD training. Six congregations have been through a weekend consultation. Three congregations are currently scheduled for consultations in fall of 2014. In addition to full consultation weekends, ten other congregations have received workshops or mini-consultations through the VCP office to support them in moving into more fruitful ministry.

Many of our congregations have been moving towards simpler structures such as single board governance. Changing a local church structure is deceptively complex and many congregations have found the transition difficult. The VCP has engaged with several congregations either in preparation for single board governance, or to help them straighten out difficulties they have encountered.This year we self-published a book on moving towards a more mission-focused structure. The book is called Leadership and Organization for Fruitful Congregations. Copies can be obtained from the VCP office ([email protected]) for $12 each. Net proceeds benefit the conference revitalization ministries. The book is also available in Kindle format on Amazon.com.

With the arrival of Bishop Hagiya in September 2013, we immediately began to see and develop new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. The Life-Long Learning branch of the VCP immediately found common purpose with the Tuell Center. The Tuell Center is a movement that originated in the vision of retired Bishop Jack Tuell and Bishop Hagiya to develop a focus on leadership excellence with a western viewpoint and cultural relevance. As VCP Director I have been serving on the advisory group of the Tuell Center and our Life-Long Learning focus is being expressed primarily through the opportunities we are discovering working through the Tuell Center. Here are some of the opportunities we have been able to provide to Oregon-Idaho leaders this year: 198 Pre-Conference Reports Transitions Workshop: a three-day event for all clergy moving into new appointments. They get information about their new mission field, training in effective ministry for the first year in an appointment, and they set up a strategy for the first year. Transforming Leadership: a four-day event each summer designed to help clergy throughout the Western Jurisdiction build a culture of missional focus and innovative leadership. The fourth annual event is in planning for this July and each year the number of participating clergy expands. Certified Lay Minister Training: a three-day training for Lay Assigned ministers. The course includes training in leadership, preaching, polity and other aspects of congregational leadership. Young Clergy Gathering: A two-day event that was the first of what may become an ongoing process of gathering our younger clergy across the Episcopal Area (under 40-ish) for fellowship, visioning, and mutual support in ministry. Visionary Leader Project: A two-day event that gathered a group of about 35 lay people from the PNW and Oregon-Idaho Conferences to begin exploring how we can best nurture excellent and passionate lay leadership across the Episcopal Area. The event resulted in a steering group of lay people who are planning next steps towards an ongoing effort to support excellence in lay leadership in our Episcopal area.

The vision of focusing the efforts of our conference on developing excellent leaders who can lead vital congregations has not changed. We are constantly learning where we can be most effective in fulfilling that vision.

Communications Greg Nelson, Director of Communications

The key to communications is relationships. In the electronic information age the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference uses technology to build and maintain these relationships throughout the conference. This happens through a weekly conference email newsletter, the UM Connector; four district newsletters; stewardship newsletters; Facebook posts and blog writing by conference leaders; and the everyday interactions of staff located across our conference. You can help by sending any change of email information to your district office.

This spring a major website upgrade was carried out. The new design provides updated graphics, new menus, and focuses on supporting our relationships through the stories and conversations of our conference. An enhanced “People Search” will improve the ability to connect to clergy and lay leadership of the conference. Additionally, the updated site features responsive design technology to make it work more effectively with mobile devices. One year ago, less than 10% of site visits were by mobile devices; this year over 15% are.

More than anything our website is a resource to churches and church leaders. When a focus group was asked what aspects of the conference website are used most, access to forms needed for charge conferences and end of year reports were the most cited resources. Twenty-six thousand visitors viewed nearly 250,000 pages on the site in a one-year period.

Conference communications have also been working in partnership with staff from the Pacific Northwest Conference to support our Episcopal Area’s commitment to raise $1,000,000 to save lives through the Imagine No Malaria campaign. The two conferences work together to share this important message and empower the work of Julia Frisbie, our Imagine No Malaria Field Coordinator.

Upcoming challenges will include welcoming the 2016 General Conference to Portland, Oregon. The local host committee is already working to plan for guests. A large part of that effort is to communicate, through both technology and our actions, the extravagant hospitality that our conference has to offer.

Task Force on the Elimination of Hunger Jonathan Enz and Gayle Woods, Co-Chairs

It is with a mixture of emotions that, after eight years, we submit this final report for theTask Force on the Elimination of Hunger. A task force, as its name implies, is not intended to continue indefinitely. While we would not presume to suggest that hunger has been eliminated in our two states, we can state with confidence that the United Methodist churches in the Oregon-Idaho Conference are more deeply engaged in this task than they were in 2006.

Begun by Bishop Hoshibata in the spring of 2006, the task force was developed to implement the Initiative on the Elimination of Hunger, a focus of his time in Oregon-Idaho. The first major endeavor of the task force was a full-day training event in each state. That was followed by a survey of all churches in the conference to establish a baseline and to determine where we most needed to focus our leadership.

As we reviewed the results of this survey, we concluded that congregations needed assistance in evaluating the hunger-related needs in their own community and in determining what form of ministry would best fit that particular congregation. From that was bornRecipe for Enough, a toolkit for a process through which the congregation would engage in learning and discernment, concluding with a commitment to establish or expand their involvement in two of the three identified areas: education, advocacy/justice, and direct service. The district coordinators and other task force members have worked one-on-one with congregations when requested, providing guidance and assistance with these new ministries.

As congregations embraced these new ministries, funding became an issue so we developed a process for awarding grants. To date we have awarded over 50 grants totaling nearly $90,000. Money for these grants has been derived primarily from the Change Hunger Fast Offering at Annual Conference.

We have also provided laity workshops at Annual Conference, primarily on hunger justice issues, led training at United Methodist Women events, and offered topic-specific regional trainings.

Reviewing grant applications and grant report forms has been one of the most gratifying parts of our work. We have learned of innovative responses to community needs, ecumenical cooperation at a level seldom experienced, new ministries developing as congregation engage more deeply with those they are serving, and stories of “radical generosity.” Some of the successful ministries have contributed to improved community food security, had a multicultural, multifaceted focus or expanded from one ministry to multiple ministries as needs become evident. Others have paired food distribution with nutrition education, honored the dignity of the persons being served, or paired direct service with justice/ advocacy, and education.

Following one final opportunity this summer to apply for a grant, the task force will officially disband. But that doesn’t mean that the ministries in which you are engaged will end or that no new ministries will begin. We are confident that the culture of caring for our neighbors will only expand and bear even greater fruit. You will continue to read about issues and opportunities in the Connector, and the current members of the task force have all committed to be available as a resource to you.

We have learned so much from one another these past eight years. Thank you for all you have done to eliminate hunger and in so doing, to share the love of God. 200 Pre-Conference Reports Statistician’s Report Ted Wimer, Conference Statistician The 2013 total Professing Membership in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was 27,818; a 1% decrease from 2012. This continues a downward trend of 1% - 2% over the past several years. At the same time the number of Constituents of the churches rose from 15,700 in 2012 to 17,855 in 2013; an increase of 13%.

We keep these records of what is going on in all of our congregations for many reasons. One of the most important is for the local church itself. We can see trends for how effective our local ministries and missions are. On a broader view, there are indicators, which help us find areas of vitality in our Annual Conference. The GCFA collects these numbers from all of the Annual Conferences and compiles the data for the General boards and agencies; to see trends and to plan ahead. One note of caution is required: These numbers are only useful if all of the local churches actually submit their data and that they take the time to be sure (1) the data are correct; (2) the numbers are entered into the correct lines of the reports and (3) the interpretation of the values we put into each line number are consistent year-to-year. Like all statistics – we start with data and try to draw conclusions from trends and values to create useful information. But if the data is not accurate we draw inaccurate conclusions.

The number of persons participating in Christian formation groups increased by 3%. Weekly Worship attendance, Sunday School attendance and VBS have all decreased, however the number of Other Small Group Ministries, other than Sunday School increased 41%! The number of short-term classes and small groups increased by 7%. In addition, the number of persons served by community outreach is up by 19%, to 255,219 persons. This could be an indicator that our overall emphasis on church vitality through community outreach is more widespread; with hopes of starting to produce new discipleship groups through other than traditional classes and formation paths! (Note: There were table changes in these areas this year that might have confused.)

The Number of Households giving to the local church decreased by 6% to 13,798, and the Total Income received for operations of the local churches stayed about the same at $26,246,021, which is good news.

The membership in the UMW decreased by 4% to 3,661; while the amount they paid for local church and community work increased 7% to $269,885. The UMM membership decreased by 11%; while the amount they paid for local church and community work decreased by 18%.

The number of UMVIM Teams sent increased from 17 to 19; and the number of churches involved with sending specific team members increased by 34%, to 156 persons!

In the Financial area there continued to be some inconsistencies in the data having to do with the Market Value of Church property (buildings, land & equipment) or for the other Church Owned Assets (bank accounts, securities, etc.). The easiest sources for this information are to use the insurance value for your property value and simply add up the bank statements at the end of the year for other church owned assets. The report for 2013 shows an increase in both values: Market value of property increased 3% to $390,382,006; and market value of other assets increased by 15%. While there was 12% decrease in the debt secured by church physical assets, there was a 69% increase in “other debt.” As churches close and sell off their property we will continue to see a shift from Property Value into Other Assets Value (amount received from sale of church assets increased by 915%). And, as churches merge we find new issues each year in how to properly account the combining.

The brand new 2013 Statistics Tables Ezra software gave us some fits-and-starts this year. By and large, the software is much improved in its interface and its capabilities. As of this pre-conference report there are still churches that haven’t completed their statistics and it is time for us to consolidate the report for the Journal and for GCFA. Please start thinking about gathering the correct information for your local church early so we can get our data more consistent; and thus more valuable to use in measuring how we are doing in each local church and across our Annual Conference. To see all the statistics for 2013 – for individual churches as well as totals by District & the entire Annual Conference – look in your Annual Conference Journal – the very back of Volume 2. Pre-Conference Reports 201 District Reports

Cascadia District Peg Lofsvold, District Superintendent

I give thanks to you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you has been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind . . . so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. --1 Corinthians 1:4-7

I give thanks for the ministries, people, and leaders of Cascadia District. They continue in their commitment to share Christ’s love in innovative and life-changing ways. Here are just a few examples.

Salem, First UMC has launched a new international worship community with members and friends of the congregation. The launch team is truly global in membership, bringing a rich tapestry of experience and perspective. Currently, they offer a worship experience quarterly, and look forward to building up the community.

Bethlehem-House of Bread, a ministry of the Tigard UMC, opened last spring after a merger with the Metzger congregation. They are already far ahead of their projected plans as neighborhood people and groups continue to volunteer time, talent, and money. A large community garden was built by over 50 non-church volunteers. A food pantry, and cooking and nutrition classes are also underway.

Washington County Hispanic Ministry, led by Rev. Jorge Rodriguez Vasquez, began last July at Hillsboro UMC. Meeting people, making connections, and starting a Bible study-worship experience has been this year’s work. Classes for parents, to strengthen skills in navigating two cultures, will be offered soon. Partnerships with neighboring churches are building, and will have strong support with the Pentecost Journey training offered in May.

Silverton UMC is partnering with three other local churches to reach at-risk middle-school children through an after-school problem emphasizing teamwork and healthy values. The District Extension Society has supported all these innovative ministries with generous grants, and is soliciting applications for new projects.

I give thanks for the desire and commitment in the district to grow as leaders, build skills, and innovate. Three more churches participated in CLD this past year (Canby, Keizer, and Willamette); nearly 20 have completed the process. Madras UMC followed its CLD learning with an extensive consultation last March; they are well on their way to fulfilling their prescriptions and creating new ministries. In September, Bishop Grant Hagiya was the keynote leader for the all-district event “Ready, Leap, Soar!”. Workshops, which focused on innovative ministry and leadership development, drew over 150 people.

I give thanks for other signs of health and vitality in the District. Giving through apportionments grew in 2013--in dollars, in increased percentage, and in number of churches giving at 100%. These dollars translate into increased ministry throughout the Church. District congregations are leading for the Imagine No Malaria campaign. Warrenton and Astoria UMC youth carried out innovative approaches to raising awareness and funds and developing partnerships, and are challenging us all. Every Cascadia ministry has taken the challenge to create community-connecting events for INM this year. And, several congregations have courageously “right-sized” their ministry this past year, seeking sustainability and mission-focus. Clatskanie UMC is lay-led, and proud of their new ability to engage in mission. Salem churches have begun a discussion of working as a parish. Others are engaging in vitality studies.

I give thanks for the leaders in the district--for Thom Larson and for Lee Hunefeld as they retire; their ministry has enriched the Conference. And for Linda Grund-Clampit, whose expertise and glowing spirit make this work a joy. I give thanks for all the people, lay and clergy, who give so much of themselves for Jesus’ sake. You are a blessing to the world. 202 Pre-Conference Reports Columbia District Lowell Greathouse, District Superintendent Deb Payne, District Lay Leader

“The power of the Lord was upon them….. It was there at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.” (Acts 11: 21, 26) Whenever I read this passage of scripture, I wonder what it was about the Antioch community that made them different enough to be called “Christians” by those around them. What were their practices? How did they treat each other and their neighbors? What did people see in them that was different from the behavior of others? As I travel throughout the Columbia District (including some 24 trips along the Columbia River Gorge in the past two years), I continue to see signs of life, what I call “Antioch moments,” throughout the ministries of our 50 churches.

As always, we remain a work in progress, but there are “signs of life” all around as well. As a district, we raised over $75,000 and completed our Habitat for Humanity Build for the Nussif/Najem family. We held seminars throughout the district about working with social media more effectively, and we brought in new pastoral leadership as some of our clergy retired. In our “Praying for One Another” communications, we prayed for each other from Milton-Freewater on the east to St. Helens on the west. But we are continuing to change in a number of ways, as we commit ourselves to more cross-cultural appointments, and the Asbury UMC-Our Redeemer Lutheran Partnership reminds us that it is possible to do church in entirely new ways. Who would have guessed that in Hood River, United Methodists and Lutherans would share a Lutheran building, have a United Methodist pastor, and build a new food bank on that property, demonstrating to the surrounding community that vitality in the local church can be both exciting and different at the same time? One could say that “the power of the Lord” is present in these signs. We continue to work at “right sizing” our churches, creating new visions for the future, while trying to realistically determine what we can actually afford to do with the resources we have at our disposal. The four new church starts in the Portland area now have a year under their belts, and they are all making progress to reach out in new, emerging ways.

But what’s ahead? Two churches, Oak Grove and Rose City Park, will be going through a consultation process this fall as they move forward into the future. The Columbia District Church Extension Society has set up a new Grant Fund for Vital Ministries in order to encourage and stimulate revitalized ministries in local churches. In 2015, we plan to create and host a joint training event with the Vancouver District in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference to explore more deeply what it means to be United Methodist in this region today. In 2016, we want to be ready to welcome our global church as they gather in Portland to not only do their business, but also to learn what it means to be church here in this place. I hope that as we move forward, we’ll deepen our connections with one another so that we can truly thrive as a church.

Yes, we still have charge conferences, church meetings, and reports to complete, but this isn’t the stuff that makes us Christians, that happens when people say, “see how they love.” It is then that the world understands what it means to live and share the Good News. May we continue to do this with joy and enthusiasm! Pre-Conference Reports 203 Crater Lake District The Rev. Gwen Drake, District Superintendent Kay Burdick, District Administrative Assistant David Armstrong, District Lay Leader

This report will include hope, life and death in the Crater Lake District.

Paisley United Methodist Church voted to discontinue as a United Methodist congregation. The worshipping community continues as the Paisley Community Church, a vital congregation in the Oregon Outback. This was an amicable decision and process.

St. Paul Center United Methodist Church in Springfield voted to discontinue on June 30, 2014. They will hold the final celebration of their ministry and life together as a congregation on June 15, 2014. This was a difficult yet grace-filled decision for the remaining members.

The Coos Bay United Methodist Church and North Bend United Methodist Church are sharing the same building, starting a process of merger, an exciting and challenging time for both congregations in learning to be one congregation.

Newman United Methodist Church in Grants Pass went through a consultation weekend and accepted the prescriptions from the consulting team on March 9, 2014. Crater Lake District now has four congregations (Medford, Corvallis, Roseburg, and Newman) that have made this bold choice for change.

Chiloquin United Methodist Church is partnering with the Sierra Service Project, a summer youth mission experience, providing a mission site for youth teams to come and work in the surrounding mission field. This partnership has given this small congregation great hope.

Trinity United Methodist Church in Eugene has started “Messy Church” to reach out to families in their neighborhood in a new, experiential way.

Corvallis United Methodist Church opened up their community building to the needs of a women’s shelter.

Several churches open their doors as warming centers when the temperature drops, giving homeless people a warm place to sleep. Cave Junction United Methodist Church provides beds and food all winter long, seven nights a week.

Community meals are served, mission projects are becoming places to build relationships, food banks, community gardens, backpacks full of food—hunger ministries are happening in many churches, from Ashland to Sweet Home, Klamath Falls to Florence.

Are all our churches healthy and vital? No. There are the challenges of increasing costs, declining finances, aging congregations, and lack of a clear, unified vision. This is not new. It has been decades in the making. What I do know is that God is always doing a new thing, bringing in a new day, and new wine does not fit in old wineskins. We cannot keep doing church the way we have always done it, or we will be gone in less than 20 years. The message is clear. We are in the wilderness, wandering around looking for promised land. God has called us here. God is walking with us. It is not comfortable. It is not easy. In this wilderness, we need bold, edgy leadership. God is calling us into a movement where the church is not about “me.” It is about “we.” And the “we” includes the mission field, people outside our doors, our neighbors. 204 Pre-Conference Reports Sage District Kim Fields, District Superintendent

I am nearing the end of my fourth year as a District Superintendent. During that time I have seen a lot of changes in the Annual Conference structure and leadership. The conference structure has been simplified with the elimination of the Conference Leadership Team and with Ministry Teams replacing many of the old committees. We have eliminated the position of Director of Connectional Ministries and reduced the number of districts and their staff from five to four. We now share a bishop with the Pacific Northwest and Alaska Conferences, making us a part of the Greater Northwest Episcopal area.

Our focus has shifted from doing programing at the conference level to a recognition that the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world is most effectively done in local ministry settings. The programming we do is now focused on equipping local churches for vital ministry and we have both simplified structures and cut budgets to free resources for that work. A number of changes and experiments are also happening within our district. I have asked coordinating elders to lead colloquies for me. With fifty-five churches and added conference responsibilities I am not able to be in churches as often as District Superintendents were in the past but my connecting elders are there more often. We have tried experiments with cooperative ministries in North East Oregon and the Magic Valley. Boise First and Amity have merged to become one church with two campuses and have now begun the construction of a new sanctuary at the Amity Campus.

We have made a number of well-intentioned changes but the question is always whether those changes have made a positive difference. Current metrics are hard to come by but I would like to share what I was able to discover. In 2011 total average worship attendance for the Sage District dropped by 20 from 6,785 to 6,765. This is less than half a percentage point of decline. This does not sound very positive on first reading but in light of the declines of two to six percent in the previous five years it is actually pretty good news. Even more hopeful are the numbers for 2012. In 2012 the district actually showed a gain in average worship numbers going from 6,765, to 6,791. Again, this gain is too small to be statistically significant, but, in light of the fact that only 21 of our churches (less than half) experienced a decline in worship attendance down from thirty the year before, I take hope from these numbers. None-the-less, while noting the improvement in the numbers, I must caution that it is too early to determine whether the downward trend has been stemmed.

What’s more, worship numbers are not the only metrics we have available. Another metric that has been in decline in recent years is giving, which is reflected in our churches’ ability to pay their apportioned giving to the Annual Conference. I am pleased to note that in 2013, for the first time since I have been on cabinet, not a single church came in with a zero in the apportionment column. This year the churches of the Sage district paid 72.34% of our apportionments, up from 66% last year. What is more, 27 churches were able to pay 100%, up from 24 last year. And Kuna UMC paid more than its 100% share. Thank you, Kuna and thank you all for your hard work and generosity and the difference your giving makes.

Looking at the metrics things seem to be improving, but we still have a long way to go. We need to work harder, and more importantly smarter, if we are to carry out our God-given mission. Pre-Conference Reports 205 Universities and Seminaries

Africa University James H. Salley, Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement

Africa University is grateful to the local congregations of the Oregon-Idaho Conference for their contributions to a wonderful investment in the Africa University Fund (AUF) apportionment in 2013. Overall giving to the AUF reached 91.7% last year, the highest level of any of the general church funds.

In 2013, the Oregon-Idaho Conference’s investment in AUF increased by 16% over the previous year. The conference invested 90% of its asking in 2013, compared to 74% in 2012. The resulting shortfall in giving to the AUF was $1,140.

As a community—students, faculty, staff and trustees—we thank you for giving sacrificially to close the gap and for striving to invest 100% of your asking to all of the connectional funds of the church, including Africa University. Increasing your investment in the AUF to 100% or higher will allow the university to meet its operational expenses without uncertainty and channel more support to orphans, refugees and other students with limited financial means.

Thank you, Oregon-Idaho Conference, for your generous support for teaching, learning and the nurture of global leaders at Africa University. Your generosity and prayers are vital to our shared, transformative ministry in, and beyond, Africa.

2013 Highlights: • Enrollment: Africa University’s enrollment grew to 1480 full-time students from 25 African countries in 2013. Female students now account for 53% of that total enrollment. • Scholarships: Second mile giving by individuals and churches enabled Africa University to distribute more than $1.8 million in scholarships and financial aid to its students.Africa University also launched the Girl Child Scholarship Fund in order to provide more African women with access to higher education. • Resource Generation: Through new initiatives that include a “$50 million Campaign for Endowment” and outreach to increase financial contributions from its alumni and others in Africa, the institution is working towards greater sustainability. • Graduates: 450 students were awarded degree certificates in June 2013, growing the number of Africa University graduates currently at work in communities to around 5,000. Every day, these graduates manifest the promise and power of the Gospel to bring light and hope to a troubled world. • Discipleship: In August, three 2013 graduates were commissioned as young adult missionaries by the General Board of Global Ministries, pushing the total number of Africa University alumni serving internationally as mission interns to seven in just two years. Your gifts are an investment in changing lives for the better. Thank you for helping to shape Africa University as a place where young people are equipped for impactful witness and service!

Your support matters greatly, so please: • Encourage your church to invest at 100% or higher in the Africa University Fund in 2014. • Talk to your congregation about making a second-mile gift of a direct scholarship for at least one student. • Consider leading an effort to have your district invest in an endowed scholarship which can support one student a year in perpetuity. • Take advantage of our new Dream Insurance program and donate all or a portion of the proceeds of an affordable Term Life Insurance plan to Africa University. 206 Pre-Conference Reports • Include Africa University in your will when you make your estate plans. • Pray for the ongoing success of this important effort to equip disciples who will shape the future of their nations and of our global church. Thank you and God bless you.

Candler School of Theology Jan Love, Dean and Professor of Christianity and World Politics

Candler School of Theology prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world. Our commitment to authentic discipleship and relevant ministry enables us to develop uniquely well-rounded leaders who are challenged academically, encouraged spiritually, and immersed in Christian service from the first day they arrive on campus.

As one of the 13 official seminaries of The United Methodist Church, Candler is grounded in the Christian faith and shaped by the Wesleyan tradition. As one of seven graduate professional schools of Emory University, Candler provides a rich context for learning and formation supported by the extensive resources of a top-tier research university. As a school located in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Candler offers a learning environment that reflects the highly diverse communities of our 21st century world.

Pre-Conference Reports 207 Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Lallene J. Rector, President

Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary continues its commitment to develop and nurture skilled, bold and articulate leaders for the church, the academy and the world. Since our founding 161 years ago, we have articulated and lived our core purpose: to know God in Christ and, through preparing spiritual leaders, help others know God in Christ.

Last fall, we welcomed 171 new students, bringing the fall Master of Divinity enrollment to 399. The gender/ethnic profile is: 51% female; 55% white; 20% Black; 5% Asian; 3% Hispanic/Latino/a. Fourteen percent of the student body is international. Thirty-five denominations, four continents, thirteen countries and thirty-three states are represented in the student body.

Seventy-percent of the students in all degree programs are United Methodist. Garrett-Evangelical is committed to making seminary education affordable, and easing the financial stress on students. This academic year, the seminary awarded over 2.5 million dollars in financial aid, offered numerous federal work-study positions, and assisted with paid internship opportunities in diverse settings through field education.

In fall 2014, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary begins a guaranteed tuition rate initiative for master’s level students. Students are guaranteed the same tuition rate for two or three years, depending on the program in which they enroll. Tuition rates for new Master of Divinity students will be guaranteed through the Summer 2017 Term. Tuition rates for new Master of Arts or Master of Theological Studies students will be guaranteed through Summer 2016 Term. This initiative is yet another step in insuring students enter the world of ministry with as little student debt as possible.

Last September, the seminary celebrated the establishment of the fully-endowed Rueben P. Job Chair of Spiritual Formation. At the same time, we installed Dr. Frederick W. Schmidt as the Rueben P. Job Associate Professor of Spiritual Formation. Garrett-Evangelical is the first among Protestant seminaries in the United States to have a fully funded chair in spiritual formation.

Two revered faculty retired this past year. Larry Murphy, professor of the history of Christianity, retired after 39 years of service. He was a key individual in developing the seminary’s Center for the Church and the Black Experience.

Enz earned his doctorate from the San Francisco Theological Seminary. He also served in the UMC leadership and traveled to UMC assemblies in Kenya, Singapore, Argentina and Israel. Although initially a conscientious objector himself, concern for the spiritual needs of young soldiers led Rev. Enz to serve the U.S. Army Reserve as a chaplain for 32 years, 12 years as division chaplain. Rev. Enz was proud of his military service as he was of his membership in the ACLU. Rev. Enz retired with Luann at Willamette View Manor where their 71-year marriage was a model of faithfulness and devotion to family and friends. In his later years, he enjoyed the freedom to travel and was privileged to attend the college graduations and participate in the weddings of their six grandchildren.

John worked for the YMCA, community education and, for most of his career, in the Marion County Family Court system with juvenile offenders and their families. His friendliness, openness and interest in others were valued by congregation members, work colleagues, team mates and the young people with whom he worked.

In retirement John became a Master Gardener and subsequently helped establish a garden at Newberg UMC to provide fresh produce and raise funds for Newberg FISH. When Jane retired the Shaffers moved to Bend, where John learned High Desert gardening and continued feeding the hungry by helping to serve breakfast at Bend UMC’s Backdoor Café.

In June 2013, John accepted his diagnosis of a rare, aggressive form of lymphoma with courage, strength and grace. His last five months were a beautiful blessing as he shared love, laughter and the confidence of faith with family and friends. John died peacefully at home, surrounded by his four brothers and their families, his closest friends and his immediate family, who all give thanks to God for the wit and wisdom and joy that John brought to them and so many others.

Remembrances can be made to the Newberg FUMC garden fund, Newberg FISH or the Knight Cancer Institute Memoirs 239 Harvey Thomas October 5, 1939 – November 21, 2013

He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1941 and was on active duty as a Lieutenant in the Navy from 1942-1945. During that time, he served on a Minesweeper and spent 2 years in the South Pacific establishing Advanced Naval Bases. He also was a member of the General Court Martial Board for the 7th Fleet.

Doris McNabb, widow of deceased Rev. Robert McNabb, died September 16, 2013. She is survived by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Doris McNabb also served Hunington United Methodist Church in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference as a local pastor July 1982 – June 1983.

Lois Richards February 17, 1921 – August 20, 2013

Lois Richards, widow of retired pastor Herbert Richards, died August 20, 2013. She is survived by her sons Fredrick, Mark and Herbert and daughters Robyn and Marcey and by 11 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Pastor and Mrs. Richards served Grove United Methodist Church in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and Basking Ridge United Methodist Church in the Northern New Jersey Conference. Reverend Richards also served as Associate Professor at Drew University. After moving west they served Boise: First; Eugene: First and Tabor Heights Churches in the Oregon-Idaho Conference, before retiring in 1985.

Lois Elvina Marcey was born to Charles and Essie Klingman Marcey in Montgomery PA. As a teenager, she delivered fuel to local farmers for her dad who owned a GULF station, an unusual job for a young woman in the 1930s. Lois was athletically talented and academically precocious. She was graduated from Lewisburg High School at age 16 and earned a Bachelor’s degree in mathematics and sociology at Bucknell University before turning 20.

Lois was 13 when she met 14 year-old Herbert E. Richards of Hazelton PA at a Methodist church camp. For eight years, the couple pursued a long distance relationship. They tied the knot on New Years day in 1942. Over the next 65 years, Lois and Herb forged a formidable partnership, one so collaborative that the accomplishments of one cannot be separated from the other. After Herb’s retirement, Lois continued to play an active role in both the church and wider Portland community. The couple produced a steady stream of publications until Herb’s death in 2007. In 2011, at age 90, Lois settled into an apartment at The Springs of Tanasbourne in Hillsboro where she enjoyed a rich and active social life.

During her long and productive life, Lois’s professional contributions have been many and varied— statistician, writer and newspaper columnist, speech and publication editor (including the revision of more than 1700 sermons), television interviewer, Vice President of a non-profit corporation (Inspiration, Inc.), and producer of the weekly television program, Life. Until her death, Lois was an influential member of P.E.O, a philanthropic organization dedicated to the educational and professional advancement of women. She actively supported a variety of other charities and community organizations, too, and remained active at Tabor Heights Church and the Community Congregational Church of McCall ID. But for Lois, the family was everything. To hear her tell it, time spent with family and dear friends is what makes life worth living. She was universally loved and her lifetime of service will be felt across generations. Memoirs 241 OUR HONORED DEAD Edward A. Bawden 1975 Clergy Members of the Conference Edward J.

IN MEMORY OF WORKERS FOR JUSTICE Given by Deborah Maria 248 Historical A SHORT HISTORY OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Organized Christianity began in the Oregon Territory in 1834 when Jason Lee, a Methodist minister from New England, responded to a call seeking a preacher to fulfill a request by Native Americans who had visited St. Louis. The exact reason for their visit is uncertain, but it was widely reported in church circles at the time that these Indians were seeking religious instruction for their people about “the white man’s Book of Heaven” they had heard about from white fur traders and trappers. The report of their visit fired the imagination of many people in the churches.The Methodist Board of Missions was the first to react by sending Lee over the Oregon Trail as head of a party consisting of his nephew and three lay persons. Their purpose was to establish a missionary effort aimed at converting the indigenous Native Americans and teaching them the arts of civilization. On the way to Oregon, near the present town of Blackfoot, Idaho, Lee preached to a gathering of trappers in a service that is regarded as the first formal Protestant sermon in theWest. The party reached Fort Vancouver, according to Lee, “after a long and fatiguing journey, replete with mercies, deprivations, toil, and prosperity” and received a warm welcome by John McLoughlin of the Hudson’s Bay Co. McLoughlin advised Lee to establish his mission in the Willamette Valley. The first station was about ten miles north of the present Salem where Lee organized a Class, the normal 19th century way for Methodism to begin a local church. Almost immediately they began caring for several orphaned Indian children. They moved later to a place they called by an Indian name, Chemeketa, on a site which is now Willamette University. They wasted no time in putting up buildings and establishing gardens for food. Soon Lee saw the need for more personnel. In 1837 a physician, a blacksmith, a carpenter, four unmarried female teachers and two more ordained ministers arrived to reinforce the mission. Then in 1838 Jason Lee set out on the long journey east to recruit more missionaries and to raise money for the Oregon Mission. On this same trip he also delivered a petition to Congress urging them to make Oregon a territory of the United States. Lee and his associates were not notably successful at converting Indians, although they believed they were preaching the pure Gospel. One of the early reinforcements of clergy to the mission, Gustavus Hines, described their preaching in this way: “We preached to them the Gospel as well as we could... giving them an account of the creation of the world, the fall of man, the advent, sufferings, death, and resurrection, ascension and intercession of Christ to save mankind from sin, death, and hell.” The lack of response by the Indians was due in part to the heavy losses among the Indian people to various white- born diseases for which they had no immunities. By 1840 there were stations fixed at Nisqually, Clatsop, Umpqua (Wilbur), Wascopam (The Dalles), Willamette (Chemeketa—now Salem), and Willamette Falls (Oregon City). (The Nisqually mission at the southern end of Puget Sound, was the first U.S. settlement north of the Columbia River and West of the Cascades.) What started out as a foreign mission to the Indians in the Oregon Territory, soon became a ministry to the increasing number of white American settlers coming by wagon train over the Oregon Trail and by ship around the Horn. To meet this unexpected need, Lee helped found the white-settler oriented churches in Salem and Oregon City. Lee’s tenure as head of the mission ended, however, when the Methodist Episcopal Board of Missions judged (from unclear evidence) that the mission operations were becoming a secular rather than a spiritual mission. Taking action unknown to Lee at the time, they recalled him and appointed George Gary to de-secularize the Oregon Mission. Gary followed orders but soon resigned to be replaced in 1847 by William Roberts, a friend of Lee’s who shared Lee’s missionary zeal to both Indians and whites. In 1849 William Roberts formally organized the Oregon and California Mission Conference that included the present states of Oregon, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and part of Montana! Though this vast territory included many Methodist “preaching places” most of the churches were in the Willamette Valley — Salem Circuit, Oregon City, Portland, Yamhill Circuit, Marys River Circuit and Astoria and Clatsop, a few in northern California, and one in Santa Fe. The gold rush to California soon changed everything as more preaching places arose in California than in all the rest of the Conference combined. It also caused a huge migration of men out of the Willamette Valley. In 1852 the Oregon and California Mission Conference was divided; the northern part became The Oregon Conference. At its first session in 1853 there were twenty-one traveling preachers who along with Historical 249

Superintendent William Roberts and Bishop Edward Ames organized the conference. Gold was discovered in the Boise Basin in 1860, swelling the population to nearly 15,000 persons, most of whom rushed from one “strike” to another. These soldiers of fortune seemed like a “different breed” from the pioneer farmers of the Willamette Valley; they were much harder to evangelize, as ministers sent by the Oregon Conference soon realized. C. S. Kingsley, a retired Methodist preacher living in Idaho City, comments on this in a letter he wrote to a friend: “It is a hard soil to cultivate. People forget God up here, except to profane his name. You can hardly appreciate our difficulties, if you have never been in a mining camp.” Idaho City was one of the richest gold camps and rife with corruption and lawless behavior (“sheriffs were bandits, bankers were thieves, and drifters, gamblers, whores, pimps, and other social leaches pretty well ran the city”). In 1863 a miner who had been converted to Methodism in the gold fields of California arrived in Idaho City before any Methodist circuit riders.Within a week of his arrival, he canvassed the town and discovered four Methodists. He organized them into a Class. Three months later C. S. Kingsley organized a Society and within a year a building was built. In 1864 the General Conference designated the Boundaries of the Oregon Annual Conference to include only the State of Oregon and the Washington Territory. Idaho was not included, though in 1865 William Roberts, then Presiding Elder of the Willamette District, was appointed by the Missionary Society as the superintendent of Methodist work in Idaho with the expectation that a new Conference would soon be organized. It was not until 1873, however, that the Oregon Annual Conference was divided along the crest of the Cascades, creating two conferences, one of which included eastern Oregon, eastern Washington Territory, and Idaho Territory. Then in 1884 a Conference was formed that included only eastern Oregon and Idaho Territory. Two of the new conference’s most famous pioneer preachers were “Brother Van” Orsdell from Montana, and Thomas Iliff from Utah. The United Brethren Church had a number of members who migrated to Oregon. In 1849 a German American farmer, George Bethers, who lived on a land claim near Corvallis, wrote a letter to a United Brethren periodical asking for a preacher to be sent to Oregon. It took four years to raise enough money to send Rev. Thomas Jefferson Connor who established the first Class at the Union School house in Benton County in 1854. In 1867, Rev. Connor organized Philomath College with a starting enrollment of 100 students. In addition to the United Brethren, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began work in Oregon in 1858, establishing their first Class at the McFarland School House (between present day Corvallis and Monroe). The Class established in Corvallis later on bought the buildings and grounds of a bankrupt school called Corvallis College. The church made it a very successful school that ultimately was designated as the Agricultural College of Oregon. The Methodist Church, South, however, in a few years gave up its part of the school, which then became Oregon Agricultural College (later, Oregon State University). The work of these early pastors and circuit riders was not for the faint of heart. One early preacher records that “we [he and his wife] have slept many times in barns with the horses and cattle, sometimes in the wagon, or on the ground under the trees of the forest: in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst.” He adds, “But we are richer today for these experiences, and would gladly spend another life in the same way.” Camp Meetings were the primary tool for recruiting church members in Methodism up until about 1900. In 1843 Jason Lee conducted the first camp meeting for white people ever held in Oregon. A pioneer describes a camp meeting held in the Willamette Valley about 1855: “Perhaps a thousand people were gathered. They had come in their ox wagons...many had traveled fifty miles...to renew here the experiences and rekindle the emotions of the old life beyond the Rocky Mountains...One of the older missionaries preached at 8 o’clock...At 11:00 the Presiding Elder of the Willamette District ascended the stand and delivered one of his great religious orations. At 2:00 p.m. one of the younger men who had entered the work...was the preacher. At night a still younger man...was put on the stand.” Camp Meetings gradually declined as preachers moved toward large revival meetings sponsored by local churches in their communities. Both provided a working model for the Sunday morning worship services in early northwest Methodist churches. One of the most urgent concerns of the Oregon Mission was to establish schools, at first for Indians and later for white children. This task was originally delegated to Cyrus Shepherd, a trained teacher with experience in New England schools. Lee was proud of what Shepherd was doing in what 250 Historical became known as the Indian Mission Manual Labor School. The school didn’t survive Lee’s replacement who sold the building to the Oregon Mission, which had formed a school for white children, The Oregon Institute, of which Willamette University was the direct outgrowth and successor. During the early years of the Mission, there were no public schools, but there was intense interest in children receiving an education. Methodist clergy often led moves to develop facilities and instruction either sponsored by the church or the community. From 1858 to 1865 there were five Methodist preachers who were county superintendents of common schools. In addition, the church started several schools of its own: The Portland Academy, Santiam Academy, Umpqua (or Wilbur) Academy, Oregon City Academy and Female Seminary, Sheridan Academy, Ashland College, Drain Academy and the aforementioned Corvallis College of the M.E. Church, South. Membership in the Oregon Conference showed both periods of growth and periods of decline beginning from the 1850s. By 1970 the membership was 67,215. However, this figure is the result of the 1969 merger of the Oregon and Idaho Conferences and does not reflect the time when membership in both conferences was declining. This decline continued down to 1997 when the membership was reported as 39,129. A number of mergers have enriched and pluralized Methodism in Oregon since 1900. Oregon members of the Pacific German Conference (which was organized in 1905) were merged with the Oregon Conference in 1928. Nationally, three Methodist bodies—Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Methodist Protestant Church—in 1939 agreed, as one church historian wrote, “to kiss and make peace.” This merger created The Methodist Church and involved the merger of several Oregon congregations and conferences. A Japanese Provisional Conference had been established in 1940 on the west coast but then the members in Oregon merged with the Oregon Conference in 1964. In 1968 the Evangelical United Brethren Church nationally merged with the Methodist Church, creating The United Methodist Church. Most EUB churches in Oregon chose to form a new denomination, though a few congregations merged with the Oregon Conference. In 1969 negotiations were completed for the merger of the Idaho Conference with the Oregon Conference to form the present Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. Currently, in Oregon Methodism the fastest growing ethnic group has been the establishment and growth of Korean Methodist congregations. Two new Korean congregations have been established within the bounds of the conference. Women preachers have been an important part of Oregon and Idaho Methodism. Some revivalist preachers were women and over the years the conference (and its predecessors) have had many women who were “supply” pastors serving local congregations, some of whom had what was termed a “local ordination.” The Idaho conference received its first woman, Grace Weaver, into full connection in 1958. The Oregon conference received its first woman, Ernestine Hitchcock, into full connection in 1960. In 1997 the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was among the top 11 conferences with the highest percentage of women clergy (21.3% compared with the national average of 15.2%.). The style and content of preaching in Methodist churches in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference has evolved in many forms. The circuit riders and itinerant preachers preached a message aimed at the sinner to repent and be converted. Thomas Pearne, the longtime editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate wrote in his memoirs that Methodist preaching in Oregon stressed the guilt and danger of sinners. Humor and sentiment were common in preaching. It was said that a Methodist preacher judged his (there were no ordained women among the circuit riders) sermon by the number of people weeping and thus ready to seek a new life. It took the pragmatism of an Oregon preacher, however, to remind his readers that it is not best to keep penitent people kneeling too long because they might “forget the sorrow of a broken heart by feeling the tortures of painful knees.” The style and content of Methodist preaching gradually evolved from preaching for a conversion and preaching the moral and good life, to preaching toward problems and issues facing the lives of people. Many preachers today use the Revised Common Lectionary as the basis for sermons. Issues that the Oregon-Idaho Conference has dealt with have varied from how to keep the many schools and academies afloat financially, how to increase membership in the conference, how to increase the life of the Spirit among Methodists, and how best to organize themselves for effective ministry. Over the years, the Conference recognized the importance of camping experiences for young people. A camping program using several camp and retreat sites in both states has been developed that is currently one of the finest in United Methodism. Many social issues have concerned the conference through the years. The internment of Japanese- Historical 251

Americans on the west coast at the outset of World War II was denounced by several Methodist clergy who brought the issue to the conference. A couple of them paid a severe price for their advocacy of justice for the Japanese-American people. Various forms of pacifism were advocated in conference debates during World War II, culminating in official censure ofWillamette University for its acceptance of an Air R.O.T.C. training program on the campus. At the end of the twentieth century, the liveliest debates were on issues surrounding homosexuality. Two preachers from this Annual Conference have been elected to the episcopacy. The first was Bruce R. Baxter, who was president of Willamette University when he was elected in 1940. The second person was Minerva Carcaño, who was serving as the superintendent of the Metropolitan District when she was elected by the Jurisdictional Conference in 2004. What of the future? According to Shakespeare, “the past is prologue.” But prologue to what? It is not given to us to know. Perhaps what we can be most sure of was summed up by an historian of Oregon Methodism, Robert Peters (a retired member of the Conference): This conference has had to think of the plodding task, the often disappointed task of seeing that we’re not living in the glory days. Our glory, as a matter of fact, is not in spectacular achievement. It is rather in being faithful to the witness, to the word of hope. ... God called us to this place when it was a rustic frontier to remind each Indian, each settler, that God cared what happened here, how we live with our lives and how we built our society. And that God does not leave us alone ever, wherever we may be in seeking to be faithful. That’s our task. It’s ever been our task, and it shall be our task on into our future.

[Editor’s Note: This short history was written in 1999 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Oregon and California Mission Conference by the Rev. William Roberts (The history was updated slightly in 2005). The authors, the Rev. Raymond E. Balcomb and the Rev. Robert W. Burtner, have both joined the company of saints. Their essay has become part of the history of their ministry, a legacy to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, which they each served long and well.]
