LOUISIANA ANNUAL CONFERENCE
SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 2014 – ACT I, DISCOVERING
OPENING WORSHIP SESSION, GOLD DOME, CENTENARY COLLEGE, 7:30 P.M. After pre-service music from the Annual Conference Band, the lights in the Dome were dimmed and the worship service began with the reading of John 1 in different languages and the bringing of light into the Gold Dome with people using their phones to add to that light.
Bishop Harvey then presented her Episcopal Address:
Good evening. Wow! Here we are again gathered as the people of God – the people we call United Methodists in Louisiana! Woo-Hoo!
This is a much prayed for event. Many of you have joined me in praying Psalm 139, our Psalm for the week. I have loved following you on Facebook as you have unabashedly focused on this great Psalm and reminded us daily to pray. Thank you also to John and Carole Cotton Winn for the beautiful prayer guide.
As we have journeyed through this year, I have been amazed at the movement of God’s Spirit among us.
I am encouraged by the common language we adopted last year – a language that orients our work and our lives together.
Let me remind us of what we said….
We chose to adopt the present mission statement of the United Methodist Church – to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
We stated as our preferred future, our vision, were we to stand in the future, we would see an Annual Conference – by the way, an annual conference is made up of people. It is not a building or even the staff at 527 North Blvd. It is people like you.
It is YOU - laity and clergy - that said that were we to stand in the future we would see churches, faith communities, people, lay and clergy alike that are:
Leading others to abundant life in Christ.
That are:
Engaging with the surrounding community, locally and globally in significant ways.
47
We would experience Louisiana United Methodists:
Learning, living and telling the gospel story to the nations.
And that we would:
Reach out and draw in people from all walks of life resulting in vibrant, alive and vital congregations.
We also said that we would lead with:
Integrity Describing honestly what we see with grace and compassion That we would be guided and directed by missional purposes That we would be forthright and transparent in all that we do
We said that we would lead with:
Accountability Measuring our actions and decisions by their connection to the mission That we would be accountable for this connection to purpose
We would lead with:
An unrelenting love for all people Placing the needs and interests of people before the needs and interests of the institution We would prioritize transformative relationships over sustaining buildings and budgets
We would lead with:
Courage and Risk Believing that new times call for new actions Willing to trust ourselves and each other, and risk acting in new and courageous ways in order to transform a dying institution into a vibrant movement of faith and action
And finally, and perhaps most importantly, we said that we would: Hold nothing sacred but the mission…to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
We said we would be open to the creative movement of God’s Spirit, not institutional priorities, in order to serve the mission.
48 Friends, this is our divine DNA. This is what defines who we are and how we are living out whom God has called us to be. Our DNA markers are named in our core values. It is this DNA that uniquely binds us together so that we might radically change the world.
Our DNA calls us to be the hands and feet of our Lord in a world that refuses to hear God’s voice but all too often listens to the confusion and chaos of the world.
So, how are we doing?
I have seen remarkable things happen as we live into our preferred future.
I have seen ministry flourish in places where we are working intentionally to deepen discipleship.
There are those of you who are taking seriously the call to lead others to abundant life in Christ, becoming truly aware of the movement of God among us.
You are walking the streets of your neighborhood. You have attended Eagle Scout events, recitals, and community theater performances to support children that are not even your own.
You are moving out of your pews to impact your communities, and I am overwhelmed by your willingness to find creative ways to meet the needs of the people in our state.
Yes friends, but, there is a “but.” . . .There is still much work to be done. I wish we could take a victory lap, but for all our efforts, there is still great unrest in the world and right here in Louisiana.
There is racial tension, there are hungry people, lost people, people who don’t know the love of Christ that you enjoy.
While not wanting to be the bearer of bad news, there are some statistics that indicate we have a ways to go…
Last year, of our 500 churches, 243 had no professions of faith and 53 had only one. Almost 50% of our congregations did not introduce one person to Jesus Christ. That is not acceptable!
I know what you are thinking, “But last year Bishop, you said it wasn’t about the numbers. It was about making disciples.”
You are absolutely correct, BUT numbers tell us something about the state of our discipleship.
The metrics are the fruit, the outward and visible sign of our sharing the Good News of Christ. It takes people, people like you to make disciples. I am not great at math, but the law of averages and even more importantly the promise of Jesus who sends his disciples two by two promises extraordinary things will happen when we move out into the world.
49 We have to be witnesses of the work of Jesus. When you joined the church you said you would support the church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service and your witness. We have done a fine job of prayers, presence, gifts and service but honestly these numbers bear out the fact that we have not been effective witnesses for Christ.
Our commitment is not a multiple-choice question – we cannot pick-out the ones we want or are good at, we have to do all the markers of our ministry. We must embrace all of our DNA. Simply put, disciples make disciples.
Our preferred future hinges on our ability to bring others into right relationship with Christ and we can only bring them into right relationship if we are willing to intentionally offer them Christ.
I am amazed how many of us will share the most intimate details of our lives on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. We have no problems telling people about who gave us the best haircut or where we had the best dinner. So why is it so hard for us to tell the world about the Savior who has given us everlasting life?
Our DNA demands that we proclaim the love of God who so loved that world that God gave God’s only begotten Son that we might have life and have it abundantly.
The best dinners, the best educational programs and even the best mission trips mean nothing without this central DNA material as its basis.
Our DNA requires more than a Band-Aid; it requires our willingness to make sustainable and real change in the lives of the oppressed.
I hear of the ways you feed people, get involved in prison ministry.
I see, read and hear of how you are lending your voice to education reform and health care for children and senior adults.
But we still have a way to go as we reach out and work to change the structural reasons for the social ills in our neighborhoods.
I will continue to challenge you to look deeply for the root causes of these issues. Why are people hungry in the first place? Why are they in prison?
Is education the underlying issue? Is it food security?
The feeding of the 5,000 is not just a miracle story, but it is a story of taking responsibility for a community.
In a state where food is the cornerstone of our identity, there should never be a child that goes to bed hungry.
50 Did you know that only 70% of all our students are graduating from high school with only 64% of all poor children graduating?
How is it possible that a cashier at McDonalds who earns $7.25 an hour or less than $16,000 a year can possibly afford housing, utilities, transportation, much less feed their children or afford daycare in order to work.
At the other side of the spectrum, it is one thing for us to visit those in assisted living or memory care facilities but how do we support and address the one in three families who cannot afford the average $5,000 a month to take care of an Alzheimer’s patient or nearly go bankrupt trying to care for an ailing parent AND school age children?
It costs a family at least $48,000 a year to care for an Alzheimer’s patient.
So when we see mothers and fathers at the breaking point could it be that they realize they are one paycheck away from financial disaster?
As Methodists, at our core, we know that personal holiness can never EVER be separated from an active and engaged social holiness!
Feeding people is important, but digging deeper in order to create a shift in the trajectory to address poverty alleviation is crucial.
Our Methodist DNA gives us all we need to spread the Good News and help our congregations and our communities deal with the very real need to address systemic poverty that threatens the very fabric of our state and church’s future.
The people called Methodist have genetic markers that force them out of the doors of the church to engage in a hurting world.
We have a way to go as we reach out and draw in people from all walks of life. This takes incredible courage.
Willing to sit with people who don’t look like us, smell like us or are the same color as us. The closer you get to God, the riskier it gets.
This is not easy for many of us or maybe most of us. But there are some of you who are entering into multi-cultural ministry with both feet, and for that I am grateful and proud.
Psalm 139, our scripture for this week, so beautifully illustrates that long before we were formed – God knit us together, created our inner most parts.
I believe that God has knit us together for such a time as this. Not only has God knit us individually but in God’s great wisdom, God has brought us together, the people we call United Methodist in Louisiana for today, for NOW that we might indeed change the world.
51 We will change the world by starting right here with our own little piece of the planet.
God uses all that we are – the good, the bad and the ugly. DNA is what makes us unique and yet different at the same time. Families are all variations of the same theme.
I loved following many of you on Facebook on Mother’s Day as we all posted photos of our mothers. It was amazing to see the resemblance. On my post people did not say that I looked like my mother but commented on how much Elizabeth, my daughter, looked like my mother. Families are indeed a variation of the same theme and sometimes it skips a generation or two but the DNA is still there.
When I was little, people always told me I looked like my mother and that my sister looked like my father. I always cried because I was a daddy’s girl and I wanted to look like my daddy so badly.
As I grew older, though my dad and I didn’t share as many physical traits as I did with my mom, we were linked by something much deeper. I am his and he is mine.
Isn’t that true also for many of us and for the church? I don’t look at all like John Wesley (thank God) but I hope that by our actions, someone might say we resemble Wesley. Or better yet that we might resemble Jesus Christ!
Or that our churches, while not all the same, have within them embedded enough DNA to love God and neighbor.
When we Love God and Love neighbor, I believe we have the capacity to transform the world.
When we reach out to those who live on life’s margins, when we give voice to the voiceless, it is then that we connect and bump up against the holy.
Is this not what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?
Methodism started out as a renewal movement of the Church of England.
Wesley turned 18th century England upside down.
He was not interested in doing church, or even doing it differently, but to help its members to live as real Christians striving for deep and authentic discipleship.
The church is first and foremost a community of disciples seeking to be deeply and fully devoted to following Jesus Christ, and the church, as an institution or structure, is to serve that end.
This is not always easy and can actually be clumsy at times, and certainly messy. It requires careful discernment.
52 Have you ever played Jenga? When you remove one piece you have to be careful, otherwise the whole thing comes crashing down.
This has been the work of the restructure team that you will hear from later in the week. They are working to preserve the whole, and at the same time, make needed changes.
They want to create not another program, and not even a structure, but a way, a path for us to be able to help our faith communities be more deeply devoted to being faithful followers of Jesus Christ.
Many have asked, what about the Joshua Team – what are they doing? They are listening and asking questions. They have met regularly to raise up what matters.
They are asking questions of the denomination, of our own leaders, of our congregations, of me.
They are listening to what is important to you. They are listening to what is being said as well as what isn’t.
What should we be paying attention to?
What are those things we have to be aware of as we look into the future?
We know that as a denomination, by the year 2030, we will be short 5,000 elders. What implications will that have for Louisiana?
The average age of our clergy today is around 54. That means in 12 years, many of them will be retiring. We only have 15 clergy under the age of 35. This is something we need to be paying attention to.
We ran some quick numbers and what I am about to share ought to frighten you. If we were watching a scary movie, this is where that creepy music would start.
In the next 12 years, we have to have 60 elders just to replace the elders who are going to reach mandatory retirement age of 72. And 55 more to replace those who will reach 65, the usual retirement age in Louisiana.
We currently have only 73 elders under the age of 65!
We will be short. Now, this presumes that the churches currently served by elders can continue to afford an elder, but that raises an entirely different set of issues that we don’t have time to go into today.
This is what is waking me up in the middle of the night. We have to cultivate a serious culture of call in our churches. We must keep an eye on potential leaders and we have to keep them!
53
We continue to lose our talented clergy to other Annual Conferences and many are choosing to leave ministry all together. I hope that you will continue to pray and work on this with me! If I could spend 95% of my time on this, I would!
Leadership development, deepening discipleship, streamlining of resources, connecting and resourcing one another. These are the things the Joshua Team continues to explore because we believe these are the leverage points that will help us structure our work to a more faithful and fruitful future.
They are not to create programs or something else for you to do, but to make WHAT you do life-changing and life-giving.
Being the church in today’s climate of unrest and uneasiness is a huge task. We must remain focused and keep the main thing, the main thing to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our preferred future, I believe, leads us to that end – to deepen our devotion to Jesus Christ.
When congregations are living a life of vitality, they seek to draw upon the power found in the community of the baptized to make disciples of Jesus Christ that will radically transform the world.
I want to see the people we call United Methodist engaged in the lives of people in their communities.
I want people in your community to know who you are and for you to know them.
If your church went away, I want them to grieve your departure from the community. I want you to be a witness to the work of Jesus!
This work is not about creating more attractive places of worship but about becoming more culturally relevant, reaching for the heart of the matter and being that which matters to a world that is hurting and searching for things that matter.
Let’s watch…
A video was shown of Steve Jobs talking about passion.
I hope you hear the importance of devoting yourselves to quality, to ideals, in other words core values, to things that matter, things from the heart.
The director of industrial design talked about the computer, the Walkman - whatever Apple created needed to be a natural extension of the individual. Most of us cannot live without our iPhone; it is an extension of who we are.
54 Can we make our work of discipleship a natural extension of who we are? I would pray for a day that we would not have to think about what it means to love God and our neighbor, or God forbid, vote on it.
But instead, do it as a natural extension of who we are and all that God has called us to be.
It is part of our DNA. Discipleship is not something we study or do, but something that we are!
Are we willing to create something, something new, anything that is useful, something that we truly care about? Jobs went as far as to say it did not even have to be technology. He said, “Create something - ANYTHING – just be sure you care about it!”
I hope that like me, you care about a disciple-making, difference-making way of life.
Maybe this is what our core values are all about. A way of life, the litmus test, the DNA markers, the things we care about.
Like—Integrity – I asked for honesty and transparency – be careful what you ask for – because I have gotten it. I very much appreciate your honesty and your willingness to let me know what you think matters. I also appreciate that you have been willing to hear from me too, and that we can have respectful and honest conversations.
I want you to continue to tell me what is important to you, remembering that my view from the balcony often needs to be broader.
And while what you have to share is of utmost importance to me, I also have to keep my eye on the whole and especially on the horizon for what is ahead.
I love when the GPS or Siri tells me what is ahead. It tells me where the water is, the nearest gas station should I need fuel for my car or a nearby restaurant should I need fuel for the body. It tells me what is ahead before I get there.
I have to keep an eye on what is ahead while at the same time making sure nothing is coming up behind us that might cause us to go off the road or veer from the path that God has set before us.
Have you ever noticed the writing on the side mirror of your car – “Objects may be closer than they appear?” My job is to keep an eye for those things that might be closer than they appear.
Our Core Values continue to be our GPS. The Core Values are what reminds us of who we are and how we should live our life of ministry on a day-to-day basis. They serve as the frame for our decision-making.
I lose sleep over some of the hard decisions we have to make. I want us to make decision with integrity which means we have to also be consistent.
55 It is important to not just do things right, but to do the right thing. This may not always look fair but my hope is that we are forthright and transparent in all that we do and that we be guided not by our own desires, or personal opinions, but instead directed by missional purposes with grace and compassion.
Accountability is a challenge but we continue to work to hold one another accountable. Remember, accountability and integrity are kissing cousins.
To be accountable means you will do what you said you would do not because you were told, but because it makes a difference, because it matters.
We only THINK accountability and integrity are tough until we talk about the next few.
Unrelenting love for all people. This one works for most of us until one of us does something that makes us unhappy and then it gets thrown back at us. I thought you cared more about the people. Right?
Remember the church is nothing but people. Don’t confuse the church, the institution with the church, the people. We have to consider all the people involved, not just ourselves.
An unrelenting love for all people is also about hospitality. We must be open and accepting of all people for all that they are and all they bring, even if it is different than what you are used to.
Jesus met and ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, those OTHERS. Remember, getting closer to God is risky.
This is Pentecost Sunday, when the people gathered and spoke in different languages and yet they miraculously understood one another. Imagine the possibilities if we were to understand one another. I did not say agree with one another but understand one another. Very different! Imagine the possibilities.
Courage and Risk – last year and throughout the year I have said, it is ok to fail. I am not sure you believed me. Courage and risk come with the possibility of failure.
If you have given it your all, and it did not work – I applaud you!
The work of ministry has to be important enough to each of us to be willing to risk. I don’t know about you but while not a gambling woman, I am willing to gamble, to risk, on our mission and vision.
I think at this point in the life of the denomination we have to be willing to risk everything, even failure. We have to make even the small things unforgettable.
Courage and risk require trust -- trust of one another, trust of the process, trust of the system, even when it is being held together with chewing gum and duct tape.
56
We still have trouble with trust as a denomination, and certainly here in Louisiana.
There is a deficit of trust among us. We tend to over think or read too much into things.
Let me give you a real example… in the pre-conference meetings, I mentioned that CFA members would be available over lunch on Monday to answer any of your questions.
The rumor mill has it that some of you said we must have something to hide and that we did not want questions asked from the floor.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The lunch conversation is to answer your detailed questions that are often best answered in a smaller forum so that when it gets to the floor, it is closer to being perfected.
The smaller forum also allows a more comfortable venue for the introverts who would never ask a question from the floor. It also frees up the time for learning especially from one another.
We have nothing to hide! Please trust the process and trust one another.
Our last but probably most important core value - Holding nothing sacred but the mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
There are so many distractions. There are the distractions of the world and there are the distractions of the church.
There are so many things that cause us to become un-centered or unhinged from our relationship with God.
Time and words tend to give things power. While I don’t want to give the conversations about schism and division of the church power over us, I would be remiss if I did not say something because there is so much press out there about the separation over the issue of sexuality; and friends, this is a distraction!
I stand before you tonight not just calling for unity, but crying, maybe even shouting for unity.
There is a lot of name calling going on – progressive, liberal, traditionalist, Orthodox, Wesleyan.
I want us to be called Christian. I want us to be called disciples of Jesus Christ. I am at times progressive, at times liberal, at times a traditionalist, at times even Orthodox - with a twist I’ve been told - and definitely, always Wesleyan.
Even with all of our brokenness and dysfunction, I believe we are still much better together than apart.
57
Think of the things that unite us: Our baptism; Our belief in the triune God - Father, Son, Holy Spirit; The Lord’s Table – an open table; Our commitment to prayer, scripture, mission, holiness, grace - prevenient, justifying and sanctifying
We are like a dysfunctional family yet with DNA that unites us, DNA that makes us distinctively different and at the same time uniquely the same.
What if here in Louisiana we could model for the rest of the denomination what it means to be the church in the world?
What if we said—We choose to hold nothing sacred but the mission.
No, we don’t agree on everything. We have our differences and we celebrate them, and all that makes us unique.
Heck, Dean and I have been married for almost 33 years and we don’t agree on everything. Don’t get us started talking about politics because it won’t be pretty.
But we know we are better together than apart and our love for one another far outweighs any of our differences.
Are we willing to set our personal opinions aside to say that here in Louisiana we hold nothing sacred but the mission – to make disciples of Jesus Christ?
When I was consecrated to this office I was asked to uphold The Book of Discipline (the law) of the church. I remain committed to that promise I made at my consecration. Until it changes – it is what it is. It does not matter what I believe personally or if I agree - I commit to uphold it.
Would I hope for kinder, more grace-filled language? – yes. Yet simply put, my prayer is that I may help lead the body so that we might listen intently and deeply to the spirit’s stirring in our midst.
I am committed to work for unity. I am committed to our shared life together and will stand boldly with those who share in that same passion and commitment.
If you remember nothing else from this address, I want you to remember this – though we may not look the same or think the same on every issue we are united through our common Holy Spirit DNA that must guide our lives, our work, and yes, our future.
Enough of that!
58 So where do we go from here?
In Wesley’s sermon Upon Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, he said that Christianity is essentially a social religion…and to turn it into a solitary religion is indeed to destroy it. He contends that a secret, unobserved religion cannot be the religion of Jesus Christ.
We are always so quick to jump to the “how” and the “what” that I am going to invite us to stay in the question a bit longer –
THE “WHY”– This is uncomfortable for many of us especially this impatient bishop but we must stay in the question.
Why do we lead others to abundant life in Christ? Why do we engage in the community? Why is it important to learn, live and tell the gospel story? Why should we reach out and draw in people from all walks of life?
You have to continually ask yourself the WHY question. And while I don’t have THE answer, I have some hunches. I would say an answer is because that is our call as disciples of Jesus Christ.
In order to transform the world, you have to be an observed religion that engages in the community, that engages in the lives of people, that meets people where they are, that intersects people’s lives at those critical times in their journey. A people that get out of the pew!
I read recently (in Wesleyan DNA of Discipleship) that the test of real Christianity and the integrity of the Methodist genome, is whether it visibly transforms the relationship we have with others, whether at church, at home or in the world.
Real holiness is not about leaving the world and retreating to our own private spirituality, but living in the world as a public witness to the gospel.
It went on to say that without such a witness, we are either lacking in the grace of God or the grace we have received becomes good for nothing -- a light that is put out, or salt that is thrown out.
Wesley said, “Let the light which is in your heart shine in all good works, both works of piety and works of mercy.”
We are to exercise our love for neighbor by caring for all those whom God brings into our sphere of influence.
Wesley goes on to say “This is the great reason why the providence of God has so mingled you together with other people [men], that whatever grace you have received of God may through you, be communicated to others.”
59 This is in our Wesleyan DNA!
Wesley was an innovator. He was a strange man, but an innovator, none-the-less. He went where others dare not go. He addressed prison reform, abolitionism. He went head-to-head with Calvin on predestination. He was known as a Maverick – a risk-taker.
Today, we are called to be innovators. To take risks – to work with those with whom we have been woven together to change the world. To communicate the grace we have received from God with others.
I want you to be the “you” of all “yous.” In her recent blog, our own Deacon Dawn Young posted this, “sometimes people mistake boldness with brashness and bravado.” Boldness she said is confidence in the face of the unknown.
“Boldness says this is what must be done, and I will take this stand and see what happens.”
We are in unknown territory that requires bold confidence!
I want us to be an annual conference that is filled with purpose, works on purpose for purpose.
An annual conference willing to lead with bold confidence. To take a stand in the unknown, trusting in the Spirit to move among us … often in spite of us.
Steve Jobs, I understand, was a crazy man to work for, but you cannot argue with the incredible genius and visionary.
Can we be ones that make a difference, the ones that have no respect for the status quo? Who accept excellence as the norm? This is one of those times I would not mind being called crazy or a misfit or a rebel, even a trouble maker -- and I have always been a round peg trying to fit into a square hole.
What about you? Can you see things differently?
As it has been said, there are some who see what is possible -- others change what is possible.
The church today is calling for people who change what is possible.
I would like us to be ones who change what is possible, who live life differently.
I want to live like that, don’t you? I want to do stuff that matters! I want us to be the ones who don’t respect the status quo. Ones that cannot be ignored. Who don’t hold back.
This is ongoing, constant work. This is the work of good United Methodists of going on to perfection, always looking to be agents of God’s new creation.
60 I want us to be a people who are not only woven together but act like they are woven together, love that they are woven together even with all of our quirkiness, our uniqueness and all that we hold in common and in tension.
A people called United Methodist woven together … changing the world.
I want to live like that? Do you? I want to live like that…..
I want to live like that, And give it all I have, So that everything I say and do, Points to you
An offering was taken for Health Kits for Sager Brown. This was followed by the celebration of Holy Communion. After singing, the service ended.

TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 2014 – ACT III, ACTING
MORNING SESSION, GOLD DOME, 8:30 AM After gathering music from the Annual Conference Band the morning session began.
MORNING PRAYER – DEVOTION Rev. Dr. Ralph Ford opened the day with a devotion based on Psalm 139. He reminded us that the psalms are a place where the entire life of Israel was laid out from praise to suffering to war. But, it is not only that life which is disclosed, but the life of God – a God described as deliverer, savior and friend. Psalm 139 has all of these themes and speaks powerfully of God being everywhere, even in the darkness. It is being vulnerable in the dark that often allows us to find God. We must remember always that God is working and that we are called to be faithful in telling others about God and that our job is not making sure the person responds – that is God’s part. Rev. Dr. Ford then prayed.
TED TALK #2 – BRENE’ BROWN, “THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY” Rev. Donnie Wilkinson asked the Annual Conference members to share with a new person their three sentence testimony. Afterwards he asked the delegates to share the answers to the following questions:
1. How would you define vulnerability? 2. How is vulnerability viewed in your church? What are the lessons, spoken or unspoken, about being vulnerable? 3. In what ways have you seen vulnerability modeled in your church?
After watching part of TED Talk 2, members were asked to discuss with each other the answer to the following question: In what ways has your faith community helped you live with greater whole-heartedness?
Another portion of TED Talk 2 was viewed, and then in groups of three, had a conversation about these questions: 1. In what way is the tension between religion as “embracing faith and mystery” and religion as “a desire for certainty” evident in our life together? 2. In what way can you personally create space for others to be vulnerable as we go about your work together this week?
Rev. Wilkinson reminded us from the TED talk that vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. We are encouraged in those moments of discomfort to practice gratitude and joy instead of creating a catastrophe out of the situation; we must always remember that somewhere in the dark, God is there.
The Bishop announced that because people at the Annual Conference had been tweeting about listening to her talk, Brene’ Brown had been following our work this morning, and had tweeted: “Howdy! LA Conference.”
73 ANNOUNCEMENTS Bishop Harvey said that after the short break, we would begin our next business session during which time we would vote for our laity and clergy delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conferences for 2016.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE LAY LEADER Mrs. Carolyn Dove presented the Laity Address:
Good afternoon Bishop Harvey, Laity and Clergy of the Louisiana Annual Conference. Last year I stood before you and said Thank You for allowing me to serve as your Louisiana Conference Lay Leader and for your support and prayers. Today I say ditto to last year’s statement. You have allowed me to learn from you, to guide you, and to pray for you as we have strived to promote the different avenues of service available to the laity of this great Louisiana Conference.
As your Conference Lay Leader, I have had the privilege to sit at the table with the District Superintendents during the appointment process and have learned to appreciate the work of the District Superintendents as they have strived to make the best appointments for the benefit of the local church and the clergy. I didn’t realize how hard, complex and agonizing making
78 appointments could be. Thank you, Cabinet, for allowing me to pray and share with you during this process.
When we concluded the 2013 Annual Conference, we left this place with replacing the 1000 Club program with Church Starts Ministry. By making this change, we have opened up more opportunities to help churches start, restart, remodel, add to their existing structure or programs, or join with another church to pool their resources to be in ministry in their community. This spring the CBOL Church Starts Ministry program designated $80,000 for The New Church on Louisiana Avenue in Lafayette, $30,000 for the Carrollton Rebirth in New Orleans, and $20,000 for Love UMC (formerly Kenner/El Mesias) in Kenner. This is exciting mission work happening right here at home. My understanding from Rev. Dr. Rob Weber, Conference Director of Development and Transformation, this is just the beginning for the Louisiana Conference as new churches are being formed and new models for ministry are emerging.
During the 2013 Annual Conference, we adopted the Mission, Vision and Core Values statement for the Louisiana Annual Conference. I know you have heard this before but I feel it merits being repeated.
The Mission of the Louisiana Annual Conference is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
The Vision/Preferred Future states “Compelled by Christ’s love, we the people, lay and clergy leaders of the Louisiana Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, are: Leading others into abundant life in Christ; Engaging with our surrounding communities locally and globally in significant ways; Learning, living and telling the gospel story to the nations; Reaching out and drawing in people from all walks of life resulting in vibrant, alive and vital congregations.
In order to live into our vision for our preferred future, we will live and lead with these Core Values: Integrity, Accountability, Unrelenting Love for all People, Courage and Risk, and Holding Nothing Sacred but the Mission.
This Mission, Vision and Core Values statement has been shared numerous times in a variety of venues by Bishop Harvey.
I made a commitment to join her in attempting to live and lead with these Mission, Vision and Core Values as my guide in serving you, our church, and our Lord. I invite you to join me in this commitment.
In 2013, our theme was “Blessings in the Wilderness” and I think we have been blessed during this annual conference year. For the 2014 annual conference year our theme is “Woven Together: Changing the World” and from what we have experienced so far I would say we are well on our way to making changes that will affect all of the Louisiana Conference.
79 Bishop Harvey laid the ground work for us Sunday evening in opening the 2014 Annual Conference with a tailgate party, Episcopal address and communion to bring us all together.
This is truly proving to be the most NON boring Annual Conference I have ever attended. Hallelujah for not being bored to death!
Yesterday when the CBOL met, we adjusted our agenda to include table discussions of pertinent questions that will be compiled and assimilated so the CBOL can ascertain how to give better guidance to the laity of the Louisiana Conference.
After the session, I was asked “WHY did you have us do this? We have never done this before.” The WHY is I had a vision that every lay person in the Louisiana Conference knew the many opportunities they have to become better equipped to their church and their Lord.
We also discussed the lay representatives who will serve as delegates to the General and Jurisdictional Conferences. This is a huge responsibility and commitment by a lay person. I was praying for all persons who submitted their names and now that the election is over I’ll continue praying for those elected.
During the Laity Session, Rev. Valla Johnson shared we have 20 Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship recipients. We are so proud to make this investment in these United Methodist students who will lead us into the mission fields in new and innovative ways. We thank you for your continued support of this fine program and these United Methodist students.
As always Mr. Al Franks is leading the charge for the Lay Servant Ministries. Al continues to help the districts coordinate and share information concerning their Lay Speaking events and the process to become a Certified Lay Minister. Al has produced a one page sheet explaining the steps to become a Certified Lay Minister in the Louisiana Conference. Yesterday you were introduced to the most recent two Certified Lay Ministers. Currently we have 13 Certified Lay Ministers in the Louisiana Conference. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested in obtaining additional information concerning this path to become a Certified Lay Minister please contact Al Franks. I promise you he’ll respond quickly and answer all your questions.
Did you know Deaconesses, Home Missioners, Home Missionaries, Diaconal Ministers, and Global Mission Fellows Program participants are all members of the CBOL?
During the Laity Session, I asked Ms. Kathy Kraiza and Ms. Elizabeth Graham, Deaconesses, and Mr. Bill Dudleson, Home Missioner, to participate. We always want to recognize these folks and thank them for answering their call to serve our church in such a specialized area of ministry. At this time, we would like to introduce the Louisiana Conference Deaconesses; Home Missioner; and Global Mission Fellows Program persons as their names appear on the screen.
Bishop Harvey would like to say a few words and give us some of the history surrounding the position of Deaconess and Home Missioner.
80
Bishop Harvey provided information about the role of a deaconess and a home missioner. She spoke of being able to participate in the commissioning of Ms. Elizabeth Sevier Graham and Ms. Lee Anne Venable. She introduced Elizabeth and Lee Anne and also introduced Ms. Kathy Kraiza and Mr. Bill Dudleson.
Another group of persons who have obtained specific training certification is the Paraprofessionals. This Annual Conference, we are celebrating the certification of Ms. Debbie Upton in the area of Youth Ministry.
There are so many avenues for Lay persons to obtain training that will help them serve the church and the Lord without becoming an ordained minister.
I’m so proud of the laity and their commitment to serve as partners with the clergy.
If you would like to obtain information about any of the persons who serve on the Conference Board of Laity and/or CBOL programs, please go to the Louisiana Conference United Methodist church web page OR contact me directly. All of my contact information is printed in the journal and your district superintendent has my contact information also.
I would like to call on Rev. Charlie Langford to make a special presentation to a youth and an adult of our laity.
Rev. Langford spoke of the witness of Harry Denman in how to share Christ’s message with others bringing them into relationship with Christ. The Laity award winner is Ms. Amanda Rose Price, a recent graduate of Centenary College. The Youth award winner is Ms. Courtney Diane McKinney, a member of Grace UMC, Ruston.
This is another example of how the laity is serving the church and their partnership with the clergy. We, the laity of the Louisiana Annual Conference are committed to serving our Lord in whatever way we can to transform the world as we bring persons to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Last but not least – I want to thank Carol and John Winn for the meditations they shared with us as we prepared for Annual Conference and the meditations we will have when we return home. Job well done Carol and John.
I began by saying Thank You and I would like to close by saying Thank You for allowing me to represent you The Laity of the Louisiana Annual Conference and invite you to join me and other lay persons of the Louisiana Conference in our quest to serve the Lord.
Thank you.
81 EQUITABLE COMPENSATION REPORT Rev. Lamar Oliver presented the report of the Commission on Compensation. He referred members to the report included in Supplement Two of the Annual Conference Pre-Conference Report. Rev. Oliver reminded members that the payment of pension and benefits is part of the pastor’s compensation and referred them to the report provision. He pointed out the figures for the various levels of ministry classification (full time, ¾ time, ½ time and ¼ time) and reminded the members that this does not have to do with commitment to ministry but with the amount of compensation received. Rev. Oliver also reminded everyone that compensation for figuring Equitable Compensation includes base salary, cash allowances, utilities and housing allowance (or, when a parsonage is provided, 25% of the plan compensation as the approximate value of that parsonage). Report was adopted.
CFA REPORT #2 Rev. Elaine Burleigh referred the members to page 35 of the Pre-Conference Report. She then said that she would do a presentation in a visual format. Rev. Burleigh stated that the actual increase in the proposed budget from 2014 to 2015 was actually only $95,755, and thus, 1.3% not the 1.8% stated in the Conference Journal; this is due to a difference in how Lilly Grant funds are reported in the two years.
The total sources of funding for the proposed expenditures of $7,589,653 would come from Apportionments of $7,513,888, remaining Lilly Grant funds of $39,765 and escrowed sale proceeds of $36,000.
The Proposed Budget consists of three areas: General Church Apportionments of $2,121,857 (28%); Jurisdictional Apportionments of $65,892 (1 %); and Conference Controlled expenditures of $5,401,905 (71%)
The Conference Controlled Expenditures can be divided into different categories: 11% New Faith Communities and Church Transformation 27% Higher Education 26% Supervisory 18% Administration 15% Benevolence 3% Miscellaneous
Higher Education, which is 27% of the Conference Controlled Budget and 8% of the overall budget, can be broken down as follows: $600,000 Wesley Foundations $550,000 Centenary College $ 86,000 Dillard University $200,000 Africa University Pledge TOTAL $1,436,000 (27% Conference Controlled Budget)
82 Rev. Burleigh explained the Annual Conference decisions regarding creating an endowment for Centenary College and an endowment for Dillard University and the process for funding these endowments. She also explained the process of paying off the Africa Pledge.
Supervisory Expenses can be broken down as follows: $185,889 Episcopal Expenses $331,631 Board of Ordained Ministry $913,000 District Superintendent Fund TOTAL $ 1,430,520 (26% Conference Controlled Budget)
Administration Expenses can be broken down as follows: $449,315 Finance/Benefits/Administrative Office Expenses & Salaries $233,786 Conference Office Expense $200,000 Pension Fund $ 65,000 Annual Conference $ 12,000 Conference Journal $ 10,500 Conference Board of Trustees TOTAL $970,601 (18% Conference Controlled Budget)
Benevolence Expenses can be broken down as follows: $332,090 Administrative Salaries and Expenses $152,000 Hispanic Ministries $ 17,000 La Now/Communications $113,603 Academy for Spiritual Leadership $109,243 Center for Pastoral Effectiveness $ 57,434 Youth Ministry $ 40,600 Global Ministries $ 20,600 Volunteers in Mission $ 20,000 Igniting Ministry $ 23,360 Miscellaneous $ 17,500 Emerging Concerns $ 17,500 Multicultural Ministries TOTAL $920,930 (15% of the Conference Controlled Budget)
Rev. Burleigh stated that the above amounts include not only the program expenses that are listed on page 37 of the Pre-Conference Report in the chart beginning on page 37 for Conference Benevolences, but also the associated salary expenses.
New Faith Communities and Church Transformation Expenses can be broken down as follows: $163,017 Compensation $435,375 Program budget TOTAL $598,392 (11% of the Conference Controlled Budget) This is less than 5% of the total budget; Annual Conference action states that this amount is to be increased annually until this is 12% of the total budget.
83 Miscellaneous: $125,000 Wesley Center $ 20,000 Louisiana Interchurch Conference $ 4,500 Conference Programming TOTAL $149,500 (3% of the Conference Controlled Budget)
Rev. Tracy McKenzie, Horseshoe Drive UMC, Alexandria, indicated that in thinking about the Petition to amend the budget that is going to come before the Conference, it is not appropriate to lump Centenary College, Dillard University and Africa University with the Wesley Foundations. The Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry does not have control over those areas. She also stated that if we are going to have young principled Christian leaders we need the Wesley Foundation. She also stated that there appears to be confusion about where the conference staff salaries are listed and how those salaries are paid; she asked exactly where is this money listed in the budget.
Rev. Dr. Donald Avery raised a Point of Order about people clapping after speeches. Bishop Harvey reminded the Annual Conference that we are involved in holy conferencing and that clapping was not part of that.
Rev. Burleigh said that you could look at the numbers in different ways but that the numbers for the area of higher education was 10% of the total budget. She also gave more specifics on where salaries are listed.
Ms. Amber Oxley and Rev. Angela Bulhof were introduced by Rev. Karl Klaus, the Chair of the Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministries.
Ms. Oxley stated that Wesley Foundations are now measured by rigorous standards and that they provide much needed biblical instruction, leadership development and community for students. She stated that they are led by disciplined persons called and trained for this ministry. She gave statistics on the number of students served and indicated that these ministries cannot be funded by local churches alone. She asked the conference to restore the funds so that the Wesley Foundations could do vital ministries. She said there were 10 campus ministries in Louisiana where lasting friendships and life skills are gained.
It was moved and seconded to add $60,000 to the 2015 budget for Campus Ministry, for a total of $660,000.
Rev. Burleigh affirmed the work done by the Wesley Foundations in Louisiana. She gave a history starting with the Strategic Vitality Task Force and the reduced budgets in 2013 and 2014 and the goal of that task force to strengthen the ministry of local churches by reducing apportionments so that more money would be available to do ministry in the local church. In 2012, the Annual Conference did not decide to give Wesley Foundations additional time before the recommendations of the task force would take place and encouraged the Wesley Foundations to become more creative in partnering with local churches. She noted that from 2013, the Wesley Foundations had $71,000 in unspent money that the Board was allowed to keep. She stated that on December 31, 2013, there was $193,595 in a reserve fund, which does not include funds in the
84 Building Fund Reserve. The idea was to use those reserves to fund the $60,000 if the Board needed $660,000 vs. $600,000.
Rev. Don Ross, First UMC, Houma, provided clarification that the Building Fund Reserve is an endowment fund structured so that only the income from the fund can be used and that said income could only be used for repairs on Conference owned Wesley Foundation buildings.
The Bishop explained the Conference Rules on taking turns.
Rev. Ross spoke in favor of the motion to add $60,000 to the budget. He indicated that this was one of the oldest missions of the church and was a place where the recruitment for future clergy occurs. He stated that to cut from this budget is to cut off a primary source of recruiting new clergy. He also stated that growing denominations put more money into campus ministry.
A Question of Clarification was raised by Rev. Wybra Price, Noel UMC, Shreveport. Rev. Elaine Burleigh and Rev. Klaus provided the clarification regarding the fact that the Budget Reserve Fund is from money that is not spent which the Board of Higher Education is allowed to keep from one budget year to the next and that those funds are under the control of the Board of Higher Education.
Another Question of Clarification was raised by Rev. Josh Elder, St. Timothy on the North Shore, Mandeville, asking how much money was in each fund. Rev. Burleigh reported that as of the end of 2013, the Board of Campus Ministry and Higher Education Program Reserve Fund had a balance of $193,595 and the Building Reserve Fund had a balance of $330,744.
Ms. Anne Warner, Henning Memorial UMC, Sulphur, gave a speech for the motion. She stated that she was a member of the board of the Wesley Foundation and faculty at McNeese. She indicated that the Wesley Foundation provides a means of engaging local communities and drawing in people from all walks of life.
Ms. Dianne Wilkinson, Benton UMC, Benton, spoke against the motion. She stated that although she had learned leadership skills herself at a Wesley Foundation, the Annual Conference must be practical in what it is doing. When one increases the budget, there is an increase in apportionments. She said local churches are free to support the Wesley Foundation if they want but one should not ask the small churches to bear this burden through an apportioned line item.
A Question of Clarification was raised to which Rev. Burleigh responded that if the motion passes it would raise the budget by $60,000.
Rev. Chad Brooks, St. Paul UMC, West Monroe, spoke in favor of the motion indicating that Wesley Foundations are vital missional outposts and are sending institutions. He stated that he was the first person to use the Wesley Foundation as his home charge and that countless clergy in the room received their call through Wesley Foundations.
In response to another Point of Clarification regarding how much Wesley Foundations raise on their own, Rev. Klause referred the Annual Conference to page 73 in the Pre-conference Report that gives an accounting of how much money Wesley Foundations fundraised this past year.
85
The Question was called. A vote to call the question passed.
Rev. Klaus spoke in favor of the amendment and indicated that the reserve money from 2013 was designed to restart the Wesley Foundation at Grambling.
The Bishop reminded everyone again to hold his or her applause.
A vote was taken on the amendment to the budget (adding $60,000 to the Wesley Foundation budget for a total of $660,000 for Wesley Foundations) and it passed.
The Annual Conference then turned its attention to the entire budget.
Mrs. Kathleen Conrad, Camphor Memorial UMC, Baton Rouge, raised a Point of Clarification about the separation of Multicultural Ministries and Hispanic Ministries that is indicated on page 37 of the Pre-Conference Report. Rev. Dr. Cottrill explained that the Hispanic Ministries line item was originally designed to deal with a specific concern about beginning ministries in New Orleans, and was raised after the increase in the Hispanic population following Katrina with Hispanics moving into the state to assist with the re-building in New Orleans. We have had three missionaries in New Orleans in the past, and now two are supported by this line item. The multicultural line item is for other ethnic concerns not including supplies.
Rev. Anne Sutton, Northwood UMC, Lafayette, raised a Point of Clarification asking why the Administration Budget was increased by $97,000. Rev. Burleigh referred everyone to look at page 28 of the Pre-Conference Report that shows the increase is mainly due to two items. One is an increase in the Episcopal Residence Maintenance from $15,000 to $50,000. She stated that the $15,000 was barely enough to cover the basics like insurance, lawn maintenance and utilities and the Annual Conference needs to keep up the residence so that it does not deteriorate. Also, there is a line item for Chancellor Expenses that has not been included in the past. Mr. Buzzy Anding has been donating his time but the Annual Conference has an increasing need for legal advice. Thus, it was deemed prudent to build-in a line item for legal expenses at a reduced rate.
The Question was called and seconded and the motion passed.
The budget vote passed as amended.
Bishop Harvey thanked Rev. Burleigh for her work.
STRUCTURE REVISION TEAM Mrs. Margaret Johnson referred everyone to pages 32 and 33 in the Pre-Conference Report. She spoke about the history of the work of the team and about the proposed structure that is part of the work of the Team, which is graphically presented on page 125 of the Pre-Conference Report. She said that there were additional issues to be addressed. She thanked the Team for their hard work that will now be the foundation for a new group to be appointed by Bishop Harvey. She asked the Annual Conference for continued input and prayer.
86
Mr. Scott Hughes gave the report of Rules Committee regarding the Restructure proposal and referred everyone to page 122 of the Pre-Conference Report. He said that initially they needed more time to evaluate the proposal and did not have that done in time for the Pre-Conference Report. There are three main things that must be considered. (1) The Book of Discipline and what it required regarding structure (basically eight mandated items). He said that after further evaluation it was determined that with some minor modifications, the plan met the requirements of the Book of Discipline. (2) The rules of the Annual Conference and how they would have to be changed. (3) How would the plan function and is it the best, which is an entirely different question. He encouraged everyone to study the proposal and engage in discussions about the structure.
BOARD OF PENSIONS Rev. Wayne Evans referred the Annual Conference to page 47 of the Pre-Conference Report. He said that while the majority of churches pay the pension and health insurance premiums for their pastors, some do not. He asked the delegates to go home and check with the Treasurer to make sure the church is current in paying for pension and health insurance premiums. He encouraged clergy to adopt more healthy lifestyles and to check to see if there are coupons for prescription medications they take. Rev. Evans reminded clergy of the change in pension which took effect on January 1, 2013, which requires a clergy person to contribute 1% to the UMPIP plan in order to receive the 3% contribution of the church to the DC Plan. He highly encouraged clergy to do this. He said the Board had set the Pre-1982 Pension Benefit funded annuity rate for 2015 at $701 per service year. He thanked Rev. Dr. Ralph Ford for his service as Pension and Benefits officer and said the Board looked forward to working with Rev. Curwick in the future. He told clergy the Health Insurance Book of Benefits was on the Conference web-site and would also be mailed by July 1.
Motion was made and seconded to adopt the report.
COMMITTEE ON PETITIONS Rev. Bernie Johnson presented Petition 1 again. Motion was made, seconded and the vote was to adopt the petition.
COURTESY COMMITTEE The committee reported that Rev. Larry Madden fell a few weeks ago and that this was the first annual Conference since 1974 that he had been unable to attend. She asked for prayers for Rev. Madden. She indicated a request had been received to pray for Mr. G. A. Dubard.
ANNOUNCEMENTS Rev. Dr. Ralph Ford announced the following regarding offerings received to date: Service of Ordination for the trip to the Holy Land by the Ordinands – $4,410.33 Celebration of Life Service for Mission Scholarships for Wesley Foundations – $2,331.20 Clergy Session for the Central Pension Initiative – $1,563.42 Opening Worship update on health kits – $36,155.36.
87 Rev. Dr. Don Cottrill gave the following announcements: Ms. Donna Whitehead is visiting from Lovers Lane UMC. She represents Collingsway, a non-profit clergy and lay movement to help them see their future clearly. Delegates should clear the table of anything they want to keep because they will be cleaned off at the end of the session. The evening session is going to be something very special, and it begins at 7:30.
Bishop Harvey encouraged everyone to come to the Red Carpet Wesley Awards event.
Rev. Bertrand Griffin, II after blowing up a balloon to show how before we are filled with the Spirit of God we are empty, offered a closing prayer.
The session was adjourned.
WESLEY AWARDS, GOLD DOME, 7:30 PM The inaugural Wesley Awards was hosted by Rev. Matt Rawle. The Mariachi Band from Lydia Patterson Institute provided special entertainment.
The award was given for Louisiana related United Methodist churches and institutions implementing creative ministries embodying our Conference Core Values and Preferred Vision. It was noted that all the nominated ministries were award winning ministries and that information about them would be on the web-site.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2014
MORNING SESSION, GOLD DOME, 8:30 AM After gathering music by the Annual Conference Band, the Morning session began.
MORNING PRAYER - DEVOTION Rev. T. Edward Boyd reminded everyone of the beauty of Psalm 139. Throughout the major portion of the psalm, we hear how everything is molded together in just the right way, like the DNA helix. The very thoughts of God make up our DNA. But, he said we are made not just to praise God, but also we are made to live with and for God. In our baptism, there are prayers that we will live as a faithful disciple; and in blessing the bread and cup at communion, we ask that they become for us the body and blood of Christ so that we can be the body of Christ in the world. This is who we are – people created by God with God’s very thoughts within us – and we are to turn that loose on the world. This is a struggle for us today when Jesus shows up at places (even
89 at Annual Conference and Administrative Board Meetings) and looks at each one of us and says “I need some help because the harvest is much and the laborers are few.” So, we are challenged to engage the community so well that it goes all around the world and to tell the story to everyone and live by what we preach. We must go, keeping it simple and leaving nobody out. Rev. Boyd then prayed.
TED TALK #3 – RITA PIERSON, “EVERY KID NEEDS A CHAMPION” AND MARGARET HEFFERMAN, “DARE TO DISAGREE”
Rev. Donnie Wilkinson had the delegates greet each other and share their three sentence testimony. After watching a video by Rita Pierson in which she talks about helping children know they have value and worth, Rev. Wilkinson reminded us that Jesus said, “Let the children come into me but sometimes the only way a child comes to children is for us to go to the children.” Sometimes, Rev. Wilkinson said the only way to get the children to Jesus is to go to the children. He asked the members to share with someone else “In what ways can your faith community become a place that helps kids take risks and learn to think?” and “In what ways can you personally be a champion for a child?”
The members then watched a video by Margaret Hefferman dealing with selective blindness and using conflict to grow and to be engaged. Members then answered the following: “In what ways do our congregations and our denomination need more and better conflict? In what ways is our fear of vulnerability preventing us from engaging conflict well? Who is one person with whom you could build a conflict filled relationship with over the coming year?”
Rev. Wilkinson reminded the members that in this type of conversation, each side puts forth the argument of the other side until the other side says “Yes you get it.” Only then, can there be real engagement, discussion and understanding with and of each other.
BUSINESS SESSION FIVE, GOLD DOME, 9:45 AM
Bishop Harvey made some announcements: The plants used on the altar and stage areas are for sale. The Board of Church and Society Meeting for later today has been cancelled. The Ordination Service video is available on the First UMC, Shreveport, web-site. Many resources from Annual Conference will be available on the Conference web-site so check out la-umc.org over the next couple of weeks, and there are also resources at www.stacyhood.com including two pieces of music, Marvelous and Wonderful written by Ms. Stacy Hood and Beams of Heaven. The newly elected 2016 Delegation will gather immediately after dismissal. The complete list of the Wesleys is on the web-site. It was a fun evening. Rev. Matt Rawle was fantastic as the emcee. A video clip from the award show was shown. Bishop Harvey said churches are doing some amazing things and everyone is looking forward to next year’s submissions.
90 COMMITTEE ON THE JOURNAL Mr. Phil Curwick gave the report of the Committee on the Journal. The minutes for Tuesday, June 10, 2014, have been reviewed and found to be accurate. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes. It passed.
RETIREE RECOGNITION #3 Rev. Juan Huertas introduced the video for the last set of retirees: Rev. Lusinda T. Warren, Rev.Alvin S. Hodges, Rev. Dr. Donald R. Avery and Rev. T. Edward Boyd. Bishop Harvey asked these four individuals to stand and they received a standing ovation.
Bishop Harvey spoke about the process of producing the Retiree videos and of how moved the videographer was from the stories told by the retirees. She told the delegates that the retirees were given a copy of their videos and also a “blooper” tape of their session; this will allow the retirees to have this forever and to share it with family members.
COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS Rev. Dr. Ralph Ford directed the members’ attention to Supplement 2 that was handed out on Monday afternoon. He said that since it was not the beginning of a quadrennium there were not too many changes from the previous year and he pointed out the differences. If additions, corrections, and/or deletions are in order, then please write them down on paper and give them to secretary’s desk. A motion was made and seconded.
Rev. Karl Klaus noted that the Wesley Board at Grambling listed is not the current Board that is in the process of being formed. Mr. Wayne Prejean noted that he would be submitting changes about United Methodist Men. Rev. Sutton noted that the Board of Global Ministries has been dissolved and a new Board formed. Rev. Dr. Ford asked the secretary of that Board to send nominations to the Committee on Nominations. Rev. Eugene Finnell asked why there are nominations for Directors of the LaFon Home since it was destroyed during Katrina. Rev. Dr. Cottrill stated that the Board had to be maintained until the rebuilding is completed and a sale is completed to the new owner. At Annual Conference next year a report will be made regarding the sale and the distribution of proceeds.
The motion for acceptance passed.
CONFERENCE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Honorable Jay Caraway, the Chair of the Conference Board of Trustees, thanked the Trustees for their faithfulness and Mr. Buzzy Anding for the outstanding work he has done in representing the Conference as our Chancellor. Two matters listed in Pre-Conference Report are now resolved. One involved a long standing dispute on an abandoned church in the LaPlace area in which the Louisiana appellant court upheld the trust clause and quoted the Book of Discipline. This is important going forward.
ANNOUNCEMENTS Bishop Harvey made some announcements: Thanked everyone who had given of his or her time and money to make this a great Annual Conference.
91 Thanked Lydia Patterson group who traveled here. The Restructure Team will be at work throughout this year to bring back a proposal to Annual Conference using the frame that has been given to it. We are grateful to the United Methodist Foundation for their work with us on leadership issues and the Annual Conference will continue to use this wonderful resource. This helps with our Wesleyan DNA. While I have meant everything I have just said, I am trying to help the youth make a Bingo. So, It is hurricane season so be sure to prepare, buying flashlights and batteries; this microphone has some problems and these Apple products are great.
Rev. Bill Willis, First UMC, Winnfield, took a moment of personal privilege recognizing Mr. Ty Belville who is a delegate from First UMC, Winnfield, and who recently was elected the new Mayor of Winnfield. Rev. Willis asked the Annual Conference Congregation to send congratulations to Ty.
Mrs. Joyce Stringfield, Monroe District, said that churches in Missouri send greetings and are always praying for the Louisiana Annual Conference.
Rev. Lamar Oliver said that the surgery of the father of his wife, Erin, went well.
Dr. David Rowe, Centenary, invited the Annual Conference to come back next year, and he also mentioned Vision of Unity and Lydia Patterson so that the Youth could make their Bingo.
BREAK
SERVICE OF SENDING FORTH, INCLUDING THE PASSING OF THE MANTLE AND FIXING OF APPOINTMENTS
The people sang Draw the Circle Wide.
Bishop Harvey gave thanks to everyone involved with Annual Conference for their hard work, creativity, prayer, innovation and heartache. She issued special thanks to Rev. R. L. Bethley and the Annual Conference Design Team for their amazing vision for what this could be; Ms. Stacy Hood for her amazing work; Ms. Mary Dart and her team for their work in doing the altars; Rev. Dr. Don Cottrill and Ms. Rhonda Whitley for keeping everyone on task; and Ms. Kathy Moore, the woman behind the woman. She also gave thanks to all for their patience, their indulgence.
Bishop Harvey reminded us of where we started, reading Psalm 139 once again, and of the overall idea of DNA – Discovering, Nurturing, Acting. She asked: “Can we be the ones who have no respect for the status quo? Can we see things differently?”
Bishop Harvey stated that the church today is calling for people who are changing what is possible. She wants us to be that church – a church of what is possible – a people who live life differently. We need to do stuff that matters. To be the ones who don’t respect the status quo; ones who cannot be ignored; people who don’t hold back. This is the work of good United Methodists, people going onto perfection looking to be agents of God’s creation. We are to be a people not only woven
92 together but who act like we are woven together and who love like we are woven together, even with all of our quirkiness and all of our uniqueness and all that we hold in common and all that we hold in tension.
The Bishop sang I Want to Live Like That, and said she is counting on the Methodists in Louisiana to do that and wants the Conference to hold her accountable to live that way.
The Bishop then said it was time to celebrate what has been and what we are becoming. She invited all the retirees to come to the stage. They were given a standing ovation.
The Bishop led everyone in a time of thanksgiving and sending forth of the retired clergy. There was the passing of the mantle from the retiring clergy to the new clergy, represented by Rev. Dr. Donald Avery and Rev. Kathy Snare Wafer, respectively.
The congregation joined in singing Draw the Circle Wide.
The Bishop led everyone in a liturgy thanking Rev. Dr. Donald Avery and Rev. T. Edward Boyd for their service as District Superintendents and receiving and promising support and prayer to the service as District Superintendents of Rev. Kenneth Irby and Rev. John Cannon.
The congregation joined in singing Draw the Circle Wide.
The Bishop spoke of the prayer and process of deciding on appointments. She set the appointments and reminded everyone would be on-line later today. She led everyone in a prayer for the clergy and churches.
After singing again, the congregation was sent forth by Bishop Harvey with a prayer of blessing.
The 2014 session of the Annual Conference was adjourned.

194 STRUCTURE REVISION TEAM RECOMMENDATION
At the 2012 Annual Conference, the Conference Ministry Team moved that the Presiding Bishop form a task force to study and recommend an alternative structure for the ministry and mission of the Louisiana Annual Conference.
After the 2012 Annual Conference adopted the Conference Ministry Team’s report, the Structure Revision Team was established and began work.
Over the next year the team interviewed leaders in the conference, both lay and clergy, conducted town meetings, reviewed restructuring work other conferences had done, and extensively discussed the current Conference structure and requirements of the Book of Discipline.
At the 2013 Annual Conference, the Structure Revision Team recommended that the work continue for another year because of the complex nature of this task. The team also recommended the formation of the Joshua Team to provide short and long term vision casting. Both of these recommendations were adopted. Bishop Harvey appointed the members of the Joshua Team.
The recommendations being proposed at this Conference session are included in the report of the Conference Committee on Rules.
Rationale of this recommendation
Annual Conferences are permitted flexibility to design conference and district structures in ways that best support the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ in an increasingly diverse global community and place secondary any prescribed structure, except for mandated entities in ¶610.
The rationale for this recommendation is that the Louisiana Annual Conference is shifting from being organized as a service provider to being organized for missional strategy; therefore, we need a structure better suited for this task.
The organization of the Louisiana Conference agencies is designed so as to support the mission, vision and preferred future, and core values of the Annual Conference. As such, the intention of the structure is to serve as the connection with the local church, district, conferences, and general agencies.
The desire of the Structure Revision Team was to design a structure that is capable of continuous improvement and open to constant internal challenges and adaptations. Moving from an organization chart with a hierarchal configuration to a design with interconnecting circles allows for a fluid movement among the different divisions.
Holding “nothing sacred but the mission” is exemplified by having the mission focus in the center. One of the responsibilities of the Joshua Team is to keep MISSION as the main focus.
Recommendation
The focus areas of the structure are Visioning, Strategic Planning, and Implementation.
Vision and Strategic Planning:
Cabinet
The Bishop, with the District Superintendents, the Provost, will serve as the core of the Cabinet. The Bishop may add additional persons to the Cabinet membership in order to accomplish the mission of Missional Strategists and deployment, and as outlined in the Book of Discipline (¶ 424).
195
Joshua Team
The Joshua Team is to provide short-term and long-term vision casting that support the mission, and core values of the Louisiana Annual Conference. The 2013 Annual Conference (approved) selected and the Bishop selected this team. The team will develop goals and objectives with measurable outcomes for the Conference. The team will identify emerging missional needs and seek the deployment of resources to meet those needs.
The Joshua Team will be appointed by the presiding Bishop, in consultation with the Cabinet. The Bishop will serve as convener, and will select a co-convener from among the membership of the team to lead and conduct the work of the team in the absence of the Bishop. The team will be comprised of persons who are gifted spiritual and visionary leaders. Both laity and clergy may serve, and the diverse constituent interests of the Conference will be represented. The team will not exceed thirteen members, including the bishop and co-convener.
Implementation:
Clergy Relations Division
The Division on Clergy shall consist of the Board of Ordained Ministry, the Center for Pastoral Excellence, the Conference Administrative Review Committee, Clergy Medical Leave and the Board of Pensions.
Each of these entities will be responsible for enacting the provisions as set forth in the Book of Discipline. The membership of the various agencies will be appointed or elected as provided by the current Book of Discipline or the criteria of the Annual Conference if there is no criteria included in the Book of Discipline.
The various components of the Division will meet individually in order to accomplish their ministry. There will be a coordinating task force to share in common work among the various agencies. Representatives, along with staff assigned to these areas, will meet as deemed helpful.
Congregation/Local Ministries Division
The Division on Congregation/Local Ministries shall consist of the areas of Discipleship, Laity, Academy for Spiritual Leadership, Global Ministries, Church and Society, Peace with Justice, disability concerns, Status & Role of Women, Religion and Race, Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns, Disaster Preparedness, Volunteers in Mission, Ethnic Local Church Concerns, New Faith Communities and Congregational Transformation and Higher Education and Campus Ministries. These various components of the Division will meet individually to accomplish their various ministries as directed by the current Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church and the Louisiana Annual Conference.
Administrative Services Division
The Administrative Services Division will provide for the Responsibilities as outlined in Conference Council on Finance & Administration (¶611), Conference Board of Trustees (¶640), Communications (¶646) and Archives & History (¶641). These various components of the division will meet individually to accomplish their various ministries. The membership of these agencies will be as outlined in the Book of Discipline and nominated through the Conference Committee on Nominations.
Implementation
If approved, the existing boards and committees will continue until Annual conference of 2015. Nominations to the new structure will be presented by the Conference Nomination Committee at the 2015 Annual Conference session for consideration and approval.
196 Membership of the Restructure Team are: Andrew Blackwood, John Cannon, Jerry Hilbun, Tim Smith, Leslie Stephens, Ruben Vaughn, Dianne Wilkinson, Deborah Williams, Ed Boyd, Hadley Edwards, Margaret Johnson Chair, and Provost Don Cottrill.
197 COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
The CFA and the Treasurer's offices are available to assist local church pastors and officials any way they can. If you wish further explanation of the Conference Budget or any specific apportionment within it, please call or write the Treasurer's office. Because Christ loves us, we reach out to others in His name. Our financial resources not only make possible ministry locally but also help make possible the broader ministry of Christ as we connect with all our United Methodist brothers and sisters to fulfill His Great Commission!

The Council reminds all congregations of the importance of STEWARDSHIP in the life of all Christians. Christ calls His disciples to give as an act of worship of God. We are called to be stewards of all that God has given to us. Paragraph 630.5e of the 2012 Discipline lists among the responsibilities in the area of Stewardship of the Conference Board of Discipleship, “To educate the local church that tithing is the minimum goal of giving in the United Methodist Church”. CFA calls upon the Conference Ministry Team, the Conference Board of Discipleship, and the District Ministry Teams to consider methods of assisting our congregations in developing a process of education in a theology of stewardship. The intent of this request is to enhance the ministry of our local congregations, our members, and our Conference and world ministries. 3. The Council recommends a continued emphasis by all churches on Advance Specials, both General Advance and Conference Advance Specials. All churches are to pay in full their designated apportionments before appropriating funds for second-mile projects. 4. Each pastoral charge is asked to continue support of Mt. Sequoyah, the South Central Jurisdiction Conference and Retreat Center, with a goal of $35 per pastoral charge. Each district is to raise the amount based on the total number of charges in the district and mail it to the Conference Treasurer. 5. It is recommended that the Whitney National Bank and J. P. Morgan Chase Bank be designated as the principal depositories for general operating funds of the Louisiana Annual Conference. The CFA Investment Committee is also recommending that all cash flow, contingency and surplus funds be invested with the United Methodist Foundation. Authority to open accounts is given to the Conference Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer and the President of the Council on Finance and Administration of the Louisiana Conference. Authorized signatures on the accounts and deposit boxes are to be: Conference Executive Director of
198 Administrative Services/Treasurer, designated representative(s) of the CFA, designated conference office director(s) as named by CFA, and the Senior Pastor of First UMC, Baton Rouge. 6. The Council has contracted with Bourgeois Bennett, Certified Public Accountants of New Orleans, to audit the books of the Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer. The auditor's report for the year ending December 31, 2013, is included in the Treasurer’s Report found in this report. 7. We recommend that the pastoral charge consider for each clergy a vouchered amount of $7,200 for Pastor's Travel/Professional Expense and an amount of $7,200 for Utilities/Furnishings Expense. 8. We recommend that the local churches reimburse the moving expenses of incoming clergy up to $6,000. Churches are asked to budget this amount each year. Money not used for moving should be placed in an escrow account to assure such funds as needed. When the recommended amount is exceeded by the incoming clergy, that clergy should pay the additional costs. 9. We recommend that the Pastoral Charge pay the Travel, Housing and Meal expenses of its Annual Conference Members (Lay and Clergy) to attend the Annual Conference Session. 10. We remind the clergy of the Annual Conference who will move to another charge that they are to accept salary and expense only through the end of the conference year (June 30) from the charge they are presently serving. The salary, benefits and expenses paid at the new charge begin July 1. 11. The Council recommends that all clergy under appointment be compensated semi-monthly. 12. In order to comply with the federal income tax regulations, we recommend that the utilities and other housing expenses on the Conference Directors' residences and the district parsonages be considered a part of their cash compensation as "Housing Allowance."
REPORT II 1. The Council presents the following Conference General Budget Apportionments for 2015:
2014 2015 World Service $1,087,992 $1,083,467 Ministerial Education Fund 373,525 371,966 Black College Fund 148,988 148,381 Africa University 33,341 33,202 Interdenominational Fund 29,198 29,105 General Administration Fund 131,300 130,780 Episcopal Fund 317,692 324,955 Jurisdictional Administration & SMU Fund 24,646 21,939 Lydia Patterson Institute 43,953 43,953 Conference Benevolences 374,150 372,510 New Faith Communities and Church Transformation 387,000 435,375 * Wesley Foundations 660,000 660,000 ** Centenary College 600,000 550,000 *** Dillard University 86,000 86,000 *** Louisiana Interchurch Conference 28,000 20,000 Louisiana Conf.

The 2015 budget is an increase of $194,166 or 2.6 % more than the 2014 budget.
* In 2011 the Annual Conference recommended that the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation budget be 10% of the total Annual Conference Budget and that the amount allocated to New Faith Communities and Church Transformation be increased by 12.5% per year until this 10% figure was reached. In 2012, New Faith Communities and Church Transformation salaries were in the La. Conference Administration Fund and the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation
199 Program Budget was in the Conference Benevolence Budget. In 2012, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation Program Budget was increased from $305,784 to $344,000 or 12.5% for 2013. In 2013, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation program budget was pulled from Conference Benevolence and New Faith Communities and Church Transformation staff salaries was pulled from Conference Administration and consolidated into one “Church Extension-New Church Starts/Revitalization” budget line item. In 2014, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation were moved back into Conference Administration and the programming budget for 2014, reflected a 12.5% or $43,000 increase, as recommended by the 2011 session of Annual Conference. For 2015, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation programing budget of $435,375 reflects again a 12.5% or $48,375 increase as recommended by the 2011 session of Annual Conference. For 2015, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation staff salaries, housing, travel, taxes and benefits ($163,017.46) are included in the Conference Administration Budget. For information about the New Church Starts Fund at the United Methodist Foundation see note 14.
** The Board of Campus Ministry and Higher Education has two reserve funds and is allowed to roll over 100% of its unspent funding from a year into the Program Reserve Fund. As of 12/31/2013, the Program Reserve Fund has a balance of $193,595, including an amount of $73,039 added from the 2013 budget, and the Building Reserve Fund has a balance of $330,744.
*** The Conference Council on Finance and Administration and Annual Conference approved a multi-year plan for the Conference support for Centenary College and Dillard University. These plans establish two endowments with the Louisiana United Methodist Foundation. Over the course of several years, the Conference continues the apportionment for Centenary College and Dillard University, but with a portion of the apportionments going directly to the Colleges and a portion going into the endowments for the Colleges. The charts below provide for the allocation of the apportionments for 2011 through 2018. When the endowment reaches $1,000,000 for Centenary College and $250,000 for Dillard an annual 5% draw would be allocated to the colleges. The Conference apportionment would then be set at a level of $250,000 per year for Centenary and $50,000 per year for Dillard, along with the proceeds from the endowment. While the Annual Conference will be the major donor to the endowments in these beginning years, individuals, churches, and other groups would be encouraged to add to the fund through direct contributions, estate planning, deferred giving, or other means of gifting. The funds provided to the colleges, both directly and through the endowments, when available, will be used at the discretion of the colleges and not considered “designated funds” for any specific program.
The schedule for Centenary College is as follows:

The 2015 Conference Administration Budget is an increase of $148,653 over the 2014 Conference Administration Budget, or 9.8%. When one adds the Youth Position, the New Faith Communities and Church Transformation Staff Salaries, the Chancellor Expense and the additional $35,000 for building the Episcopal Residence Maintenance Reserve which were not included in the Strategic Vitality Task Force Administration Budget for 2015 ($1,416,313) the proposed Conference Administration Budget for 2015 is $33,857 over the Strategic Vitality Task Force projected Conference Administration Budget.
* CFA is recommending that $50,000 be budgeted for maintenance of the Episcopal Residence so that a long term maintenance reserve fund can be created for capital improvements/repairs such as painting and roofing.
** During 2014 a Payroll company was contracted to provide all payroll related functions for the Annual Conference.
*** At the beginning of 2014, the employed janitorial staff at the conference building was replaced with a janitorial service which resulted in a decrease in salary expense and associated taxes and benefits.
**** CFA is recommending that a line item in the annual budget be included for the Chancellor’s expenses. These are presently being paid out of reserve.
*****Board of Trustees expenses have increased due to litigation regarding church properties. See note 15.
2. All remittances for 2014 must be received by the Conference Treasurer’s Office no later than January 8, 2015. 3. The Annual Conference grants permission to Centenary College and Dillard University to make an appeal for every church in the Conference to send a “paid student” to the institutions. 4. The Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer is authorized to pay from the District Superintendents’ Fund for expenses of Cabinet Meetings. The Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer of the Conference is authorized to pay from the District Superintendent’s Fund to the Pension Fund an amount for each District Superintendent to meet the General Board of Pension requirement. 5. We recommend that each district provide at least three-fourth time secretarial help for the District Superintendent from district budget funds. The Annual Conference requires that copies of the annual budget and audit for each district be mailed to the Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer for the Council not later than April 15 following the previous fiscal year. 6. The base salary of all the District Superintendents shall be equal throughout the Conference. Since District Superintendents are appointed by the Bishop as officers of the Conference, their salary, travel expense, utilities allowance, housing allowance, professional expenses, and the Conference health insurance premium shall be paid by the Annual Conference. We recommend the following income be paid to the District Superintendents from the District Superintendents' Fund: Base Compensation for 2015, $91,537 (see Conference Rules for the rule concerning salary); utilities/furnishings - $7,200; and a total pooled amount of $27,000 to be drawn by voucher and used for professional expenses that the District Superintendent incurs in carrying out the responsibilities of the office. The Council shall provide an automobile travel reimbursement expense for each District Superintendent to be drawn by voucher at the current IRS standard mileage reimbursement rate from a total pooled budget of $88,375.
203 7. Each Council, Board, Commission, Committee, etc. of the Conference receiving funding from the Conference shall designate one person, other than the chairperson, as the Finance Officer. The Finance Officer shall keep for that board or agency a current record of financial transactions involving the budget receipts and expenditures for that body. The Finance Officer shall receive all vouchers from members and shall approve and submit them to the Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer. Vouchers must be specific, in detail, accompanied by the appropriate receipts, and must bear the signed approval of the Finance Officer. The Finance Officer shall in turn submit them to the Conference Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer within three weeks. In order to assist the Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer to close the books and set up books for a new fiscal year, all Finance Officers shall submit final vouchers of said board and agency by December 11, 2014.
OFFICIAL VOUCHER POLICY FOR CONFERENCE BOARDS AND AGENCIES: Travel – Within the State of Louisiana – Travel Expense for Conference Boards and Agencies is set at a maximum of 25 cents per mile. When three or more members are traveling together, a maximum of 30 cents per mile will be paid. Regardless of the mode of travel used, the maximum of 25 cents per mile will still apply. Beyond the state, the most economical mode of travel must be used with this new provision: That an amount of $500 per year be the normal limit for reimbursable travel expense for members of Louisiana councils, boards, commissions and committees who reside outside the state boundaries to attend regular meetings of their conference agency. This limit applies to funds that come from conference line item budgets. A Conference agency may vote to increase this amount if the members choose to make an exception due to the specific need of participation by a particular member. This limit applies only to travel and not to per diem lodging and meal costs. Air travel must be supported by the air ticket stub. Lodging and Meals – Reimbursement for lodging expenses will be made for the actual amount of expenses incurred. Moderately priced hotel or motel accommodations are suggested. An itemized bill must accompany the request for reimbursement. Reimbursement will be made for meals for the actual expense incurred, but not for entertainment or room service. Any meals exceeding $5 must be supported by an itemized receipt. CFA recommends that those submitting vouchers for hotel and food reimbursements use good stewardship to keep costs at a minimum. 8. All institutions and agencies receiving funds from the Annual Conference are required to submit a financial statement at the end of each calendar year. (See Conference Rules for Rule on Annual Audits.) 9. A balance at the close of the year in the Conference Benevolence Budget of any conference board or agency will be placed in the Conference Benevolences Reserve for the next year. Also, at the end of the fiscal year, any funds remaining in individual line items of the Conference Budget that is over 10% of that line item’s budget shall be moved into the Conference’s Contingency Fund to help build an emergency fund that could be used in a future disaster or catastrophe, such as another hurricane or gulf oil spill, or liabilities that are a result of severe market decline, lawsuit, litigation, etc. (Budgeted line items that have permission of CFA or Annual Conference to carry a reserve of more than 10% of their budget will be exempt from this.) The Annual Conference shall continue to place in the Contingency Fund of the Annual Conference all interest from the invested funds of the different conference boards and agencies. The Council shall use the Investment Committee of the Louisiana United Methodist Foundation to assist in the investment of conference funds. Local churches and conference institutions shall consider using the Foundation for the investment of their funds. 10. We recommend that the Louisiana Annual Conference Wesley Foundations be given basic support by a decimal item to be apportioned to the churches of the Conference. Amounts of the funds to be given to each Wesley Foundation will be determined by the Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry. 11. The Conference Council on Finance and Administration recommends the following procedure for selecting and continuing with a Conference property/liability insurance broker: Brokers’ selection is to be based on accessibility, reputation, selection of carriers, cost of product and knowledge of product including United Methodist General Church Insurance. An Advisory/Search Committee of the Council on Finance and Administration will publicize through the Louisiana NOW when new opportunities or bidding on Conference insurance are available. After a broker is selected, the broker will normally be retained for a minimum of three years. This term is considered beneficial because of the multi-faceted types of coverage necessary for a variety of persons, property and equipment. If the selected insurance broker’s services are considered unsatisfactory or rates are considered excessive during a three-year cycle, the relationship may be terminated and the broker replaced.
204 The new selection procedure became effective January 1, 1995. This selection is to be utilized for each three-year cycle thereafter. The Advisory/Search Committee members will be the President of CFA; the Executive Director of Administrative Services/Treasurer, the Cabinet liaison to CFA; a representative of Conference Board of Trustees; and one other selected by the President of CFA. 12. The Council on Finance and Administration reminds all persons, clergy and lay, handling funds in local churches to adhere to Paragraph 258.16.4(f) of the 2012 The Book of Discipline which states: “Contributions designated for specific causes and objects shall be promptly forwarded according to the intent of the donor and shall not be used for any other purpose.” This reminder is made by CFA although local churches and institutions are presently and have always been responsible for the proper use of funds. 13. The Council reports the following special grants were approved for 2013 from the General Contingency Fund:
Episcopal Residence $20,000 Episcopal Retirement Gift $2,000 Director’s Housing Expense 18,000.00 14. The Annual Conference in 2014 authorized the transfer of current and future undesignated conference receipts from gas leases and royalties (as allowed by the Book of Discipline and Conference rules) to the New Church Development Fund at the UMF. At the end of 2013 the balance in this fund was $1,175,953. This fund is being overseen by the Conference New Faith Communities and Church Transformation Committee, in consultation with the Cabinet, to help purchase land, retire capital debt of parsonages, and provide other needed expenses of the newest church starts in our conference. 15. CFA in conjunction with the Board of Trustees recommends that when Annual Conference property is sold the proceeds of the sale be used as follows (1) costs of the sale (2) expenses that were incurred by the Annual Conference in maintaining the property between the time the Annual Conference assumed responsibility until the sale (insurance, maintenance, yard maintenance, etc.); (3) legal fees incurred by the Trustee (4) if property from a church any arrearages of the church in the following order – pension, health insurance and apportionments. The net proceeds would then be deposited in accordance with the Discipline and Conference rules. 16. The recommendation of the CFA Investment Committee is as follows:
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION FUND MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES The Administrative Services Office of the Louisiana Annual Conference serves as an administrator for funds deposited with it by agencies under the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Annual Conference (LAC). The LAC maintains oversight on these assets according to the Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church. Prudent management of the LAC assets requires a carefully conceived investment strategy individually designed to obtain a total return (aggregate return from capital appreciation and dividend and interest income) necessary to preserve and ideally enhance the principal of such funds. In addition to identifying factors that the LAC must consider in making management and investment decisions, The Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), adopted by Louisiana Legislative Act 168 in 2010, requires a charity and those who manage and invest its funds to: give primary consideration to donor intent as expressed in a gift instrument; act in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person would exercise; incur only reasonable costs in investing and managing charitable funds; make a reasonable effort to verify relevant facts; make decisions about each asset in the context of the portfolio of investments, as part of an overall investment strategy; diversify investments unless, due to special circumstances, the purposes of the fund are better served without diversification; dispose of unsuitable assets; and, develop an investment strategy appropriate for the fund and the charity.” Allocation of assets should be determined for each specific investment based upon the short and long term needs of the funds being invested for each agency of the LAC. The mix of investments styles chosen should maximize the return to the fund and balance market expectations. Agency funds that are expected to be permanent in nature should be invested in an allocation of medium to long term strategies composed of a mix of both equities
205 and fixed income. Expected distributions from those agency funds should be held separately in a money market type investment. The LAC should review the investment time horizon/duration for those funds at least annually and make changes as appropriate. Although each agency fund individually will be comprised of various investments, when taken together as a portfolio, should provide a reasonable return while offering protection from inflation. CFA encourages the use of our LA Conference United Methodist Foundation for investment purposes. In general, the CFA recommends use of the Fixed Income Fund at the UMF for all short term funds where it is expected the monies may be needed for disbursement in the near future. The CFA recommends use of the Balanced Fund or the Equity Fund at the UMF for long term funds that are more permanent in nature, and for funds where it is not expected that the monies will need to be disbursed in the near future 17. CFA nominates Jan Holloway Curwick as the Executive Director of Administrative Services and Treasurer for the Annual Conference effective July 1, 2014.

BOARD OF PENSIONS
REPORT I I. CONFERENCE MATTERS A. That $200,000 be apportioned to the charges of the Louisiana Annual Conference in 2015. B. Payments made to the pension apportionment shall be exactly proportional to the amount paid on the clergy salary or salaries of a given charge, i.e. if the church does not pay the pension apportionment in full, neither should pastor's salary be paid in full. See Paragraph 622, The Book of Discipline.
II. PRE-1982 BENEFITS We recommend: A. That the funded annuity rate for 2015 be $701.00 per service year. In 2014, it was $677 per service year. Benefits to surviving spouses of clergy shall be 75% of the annuity rate. B. The Conference Board of Pensions is recommending that the “Past Service Rate” for years prior to 1982 be set at 1% of the CAC for 2015 ($701 per year) and that this rate be reviewed annually. The CAC is set annually by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. The CAC amount for 2015 is $70,046.
III. CLERGY RETIREMENT SECURITY PLAN (CRSP) FOR CLERGY AT LEAST HALF (1/2) TIME & UMPIP FOR CLERGY SERVICE LESS THAN HALF (1/2) TIME We recommend: A. That Participants shall be all Clergy members of the Louisiana Annual Conference including Deacons and Local Pastors under Episcopal appointment to a charge. The Conference Board of Pensions includes in the Louisiana Conference plan Deacons as a definite and integral segment of the program. All local churches and United Methodist agencies whom employ Deacons shall pay for a United Methodist Retirement Plan in addition to salary. B. That Participants’ Plan Compensation is the sum of: (1) cash salary (including tax deferred annuities and professional expense allowances) received from church-related sources; (2) utilities; and (3) housing allowance, or when a parsonage is provided, 25% of the Plan Compensation as the approximate value of that parsonage. C. That the following chart, based on the DAC or CAC, whichever is the lower, be used to determine part-time increment status of an appointment to a charge or conference- controlled agency as it relates to pension years of service and pension billing calculation. 2014 – Based on 60% of the DAC ($65,186) $1 - $19,555 = ¼ Time Status UMPIP Only $19,556 - $29,333 = ½ Time Status CRSP $29,334 - $39,111 = ¾ Time Status CRSP $39,112 and above = Full Time Status CRSP
2015 – Based on 60% of the DAC ($66,259) $1 - $19,877 = ¼ Time Status UMPIP Only $19,878 - $29,816 = ½ Time Status CRSP $29,817 - $39,754 = ¾ Time Status CRSP
243
$39,755 and above = Full Time Status CRSP
D. For clergy serving at least half (1/2 time) to a local church or conference-controlled agency, shall participate in the GBOPHB’s CRSP plan; and that the church’s contribution base be set as a percentage of plan compensation according to the following: Defined Benefit (DB) – 10% of Pension Plan Compensation with a cap at $6,000 Plus Defined Contribution (DC) – 3% of Pension Plan Compensation. *
Example 1: Pension Plan Compensation = $55,000 DB: $55,000 x 10% = $5,500 DC: $55,000 x 3% = $1,650 Total CRSP = $5,500 + $1,650 = $7,150 Example 2: Pension Plan Compensation = $88,900 DB: $88,900 x 10% = $8,890 (Cap at $6,000) DC: $88,900 x 3% = $2,667 Total CRSP = $6,000 + $2,667 = $8,667
*General Conference in 2012 decided that 2% of the plan comp would automatically go into the clergy’s personal DC account, but the final 1% of plan comp would only go into the clergy’s personal DC account only if the clergy also contributed at least a matching 1% of plan comp into his/her personal UMPIP account. The CBOP is recommending to bill the normal full 3% of plan comp for DC, regardless whether the clergy participates in the matching UMPIP contributions. Any excess receipts resulting from this billing would be used to cover other unfunded administrative expenses of the CBOP such as annual billing arrearages in which the Conference is responsible. E. For clergy serving less than half (1/2 time) to a local church or conference-controlled agency, shall participate in the GBOPHB’s La. Conference-Sponsored UMPIP plan; and that the church’s contribution base be set as a percentage of plan compensation according to the following: UMPIP: 10% of Pension Plan Compensation Example: Pension Plan Compensation = $15,000 UMPIP: $15,000 x 10% = $1,500 annually or $125 per month F. Contributions for each participant shall be paid directly by the paying unit to the Louisiana Annual Conference, 527 North Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70802–5720 by the 25th of each month. G.

Eligible participants receiving CPP disability benefits may also receive retirement plan contributions.

D. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits is recommending one of the options available to Conferences through the Comprehensive Protection Plan. Article 111, Section 3.02 (a) states that persons "appointed to less than full-time service" not participate in the CPP unless special arrangements are made. Special arrangements for such cases may be found in the "Plan" at Article 111, Section 3.03 (a). The Conference Board of Pensions can offer the CPP on an elective basis which allows a clergy serving as a full member, associate member or a provisional member at less than full-time service (75% or more) to elect to participate. In such a case, the individual participant or salary paying unit would pay the 4.4% of the DAC remitted to the conference office in conjunction with CRSP payments to participate in the plan.
V. OPTIONAL UMLIFE PLAN The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits adopted the Optional UMLife Insurance Plan on January 1, 2009. This plan is available to all full-time clergy under Episcopal appointment and who are enrolled in the CPP benefit program, as an optional life insurance plan at the cost to the clergy participant. This plan allows the participant to purchase additional life insurance coverage, a spousal death benefit and/or a child death benefit.

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 through December 31, 2014 and January 1 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.
256
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.

REPORT IV
VACATION POLICY This Vacation Policy for Clergy is to standardize clergy vacations across the Conference. The policy is for clergy appointed within the bounds of the Louisiana Conference. CONFERENCE TIME OF VACATION RELATIONSHIP SERVICE TIME (1) Full-Time Local Pastors in process, Attending the four-week Course of Study 2 weeks paid
(2) Full-Time Clergy (Full Members, 5 years or less 2 weeks paid Provisional Members, Assoc. Members, Full Connection Deacons, FTLP) Part-time Local Pastors 1 week including 1 Sunday paid
(3) Full-Time Clergy (Full Members, 5 years + 1 day 3 weeks paid Provisional Members, Assoc. Members, through completion Full Connection Deacons, FTLP) of 9 yrs. of service Part-time Local Pastors 2 weeks including 2 Sundays paid
(4) Full-Time Clergy (Full Members, 10 years or 4 weeks paid Provisional Members, Assoc. Members, more of service Full Connection Deacons, FTLP) Part-time Local Pastors 3 weeks including 3 Sundays paid
NOTE: Years of service refer to years of service in an Annual Conference(s) of the United Methodist Church, not years of service in the local church to which the clergy is appointed. These years of service include years under appointment to Seminary or beyond the local church.
Time used for Continuing Education, as defined by The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church and according to the rules set by the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry, shall not be considered as vacation time or used in lieu of vacation time. Vacation time is on a conference year basis. Vacation time not used in one year cannot be carried over into the next year.
DAYS OFF POLICY: The Annual Conference’s policy is that each local church’s Pastor-Parish Relations Committee establish a days off policy with the pastor(s) of the charge. The minimum standard for days off is as follows: 2 days per week and 2 nights per week. Additional time should be set aside each week for prayer and study for the pastor’s use.
If an honorarium is given to a guest pastor while the appointed pastor is on vacation, it shall be paid by the local church and not from that pastor’s compensation.
Churches should encourage their pastor(s) to participate in physical exercise programs, good nutrition programs, and to get regular checkups with their doctors.
This policy is to be printed each year in the Journal of the Louisiana Annual Conference. The Cabinet of the Louisiana Annual Conference will send a copy of this policy to the Chairperson of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee in each District.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE POLICY All clergy in any relationship - PTLP, FTLP, AM, PE , PD, Full Connection, or retired if serving an appointment – shall be offered at least 30 days for bereavement leave (BL) for the death of a spouse or child. The District Superintendent shall initiate this process by informing the bereaved clergy of the availability of bereavement leave.
258
Bereavement leave will be in addition to vacation time, continuing education time and days off. The local church or conference agency to which the clergy is appointed shall continue to provide salary and housing, as well as pension and insurance payments, during the bereavement leave. The clergy will have ninety (90) days, beginning the day after the memorial/funeral service, in which to begin the bereavement leave. Details - pulpit supply, covering hospitals, etc. - will be worked out in conjunction with the District Superintendent and S/PPR chair. The clergy may use the bereavement leave in one block or some smaller blocks of time as he/she wishes, but must complete it within six months of the funeral/memorial service.
In many cases the congregation will have its own resources to secure appropriate pastoral leadership during the bereavement leave, but if the District Superintendent and S/PPR determine that financial assistance is needed to provide a supply pastor, the Annual Conference Board of Pensions will provide a maximum of $400 per week depending on whether the appointment is part or full time, and the responsibilities expected of the supply pastor. The District office will disburse any funds from the Conference Board of Pensions to the supply pastor. Counseling is available at no cost to all clergy by a confidential request to the Director of Care and Nurturing of the Louisiana Conference Board of Ordained Ministry.

REPORT VI LOUISIANA ANNUAL CONFERENCE FUNDING PLAN FOR SUPPLEMENT ONE TO THE CLERGY RETIREMENT SECURITY PLAN AS OF JANUARY 1, 2014
The 2014 Past Service Rate (PSR) for the Louisiana Annual Conference is $677 or 1% of the 2014 Conference Average Compensation (CAC).
The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits has determined that the portion of the Pre-82 plan liability attributable to the Louisiana Annual Conference is $29,178,284 with a 3.5% PSR increase assumption, based on a 2014 PSR of $677. Plan funds currently held with the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits have a value of $33,860,353 as of January 1, 2012. The difference between the total plan liability and current plan funding is $4,682,069. This represents an over-funded plan asset of 116%.
The funding plan as of January 1, 2014, for 2014 is as follows: Supplement One Liability Assuming PSR Future Increase of 3.5% (Plan Liability)* ...... $(29,178,284)
259
Current Plan Funding (Assets as of 1/1/2012) ...... $33,860,353 Over-Funded Status (As of 1/1/2012) ...... $4,682,069 *Based on 7% interest and RP2000 mortality table
The CBOP is requesting that the Louisiana Annual Conference set the 2015 PSR at $701, which will be 1% of the CAC or a 3.55% increase over 2014 and that in 2015, continue our true funding plan assumptions of annual CAC increases of 3.5% and setting the future PSR at 1% of the CAC. Based on the GBOPHB estimated actuarial valuation results for 2015, this would create a liability of $30,102,360 for the Louisiana Conference against assets of $35,448,131 (based on 1/1/13 values) and thus reflects a $5,345,771 (or 118%) overfunded status for 2015.
The usage of the Pre82 surplus funds to fund other plan liabilities, after consultation with the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits actuaries, will be determined annually by the Conference Board of Pensions. In the past, it has been the recommendation of the conference board to utilize the surplus funds toward the Defined Benefit (DB) contribution portion of the CRSP pension plan. However, the conference board does recognize that if Pre82 surplus funds are used toward other plan liabilities, this could result in future Pre82 liability contributions. The Conference Board of Pensions does not recommend any Pre82 surplus funds be re-directed toward the CRSP DB plan in 2014.
If the funding plan for years beyond 2015 produces an underfunded Pre82 plan liability payment, then the intent is to use earnings (and principal if needed) from the UMF Louisiana Conference Pension Fund (listed in Report V. Statement Of Assets are valued at $7,393,436 on 12/31/13) to restore the Pre-82 plan to 100% funded status.

CONFERENCE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board of Trustees in conjunction with CFA recommends that when Annual Conference property is sold the proceeds of the sale be used as follows (1) costs of the sale (2) expenses that were incurred by the Annual Conference in maintaining the property between the time the Annual Conference assumed responsibility until the sale (insurance, maintenance, yard maintenance, etc.); (3) legal fees incurred by the Trustee (4) if property from a church any arrearages of the church in the following order – pension, health insurance and apportionments. The net proceeds would then be deposited in accordance with the Discipline and Conference rules.
CONFERENCE CAMPING COMMITTEE
The directors of the three regional camps, Caney Conference Center, Camp Istrouma, and Uskichitto Retreat Center, and the Wesley Center continue to meet quarterly to build relationships and collaborate regarding the various challenges and opportunities that the camping/retreat ministries encounter in today's environment. Some meetings are held on-site at one of the four locations, while recent meetings have utilized Google +, an online teleconference format. We saved time, energy, mileage, and stress by meeting online.
Among the issues regularly reviewed are marketing, programming, personnel, facilities, leadership training and development, and long-term sustainability. All of these are discussed in the framework of the mission of the United Methodist Church, the Seven Foundations of Camp and Retreat Ministry, and the priority of developing spiritual leaders in the Louisiana Annual Conference.
Camp Uskichitto Retreat Center - Matt and Sharon Shaw, Co-Directors P.O. Box 118, LeBlanc, LA 70651 (590 Retreat Road) http://campurc.net
This past year has been full of growth at URC! Our retreat season is at an all time high. Last spring's NOMADS revamped our camp store. During our summer program, we experienced 27 first time professions of faith and had 21 rededications of faith. URC had 355 total campers for the summer. In the fall, we held our first 5K walk-run and raised enough money to pay for 18 kids to come to camp! Several churches have scheduled work days at the camp to help improve and maintain our facilities. We are also working on building relationships and camp awareness in southwest Louisiana.
We have big plans for continued growth in 2014! We have a new office building that we hope to move into by the summer. This is our accreditation year for the American Camping Association, which we are preparing for already. We are improving our summer and retreat programming by adding a rifle range and expanding our high ropes course. As always, our goal is to see an increase in our summer camper numbers and participation from our United Methodist churches.
For 2014, we will continue to find ways to be present in our local and district churches; one of our ministry goals is to help our churches reach their ministry goals. Continued and increased partnership is the best way for the camp to remain viable.
Camp Caney Conference Center - Matt Hankins, Director P.O. Box 707, Minden, LA 71055 (1163 Methodist Camp Rd.) www.caneycamp.com
Camp Caney was closed early in 2013 for major renovations due to facility infrastructure needs. We also serve as a disaster relief hub for emergency repair crews and received a state grant to improve our facilities so that we may better serve that purpose. We were forced to hold summer camp off site because of the renovations, utilizing the Outdoor Wilderness Center owned by the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home. Thanks to dedicated volunteer staff, we had a fun and memorable summer but look forward to returning home in 2014. Many improvements have been made to the cabins, the recreation hall, the sound system, and the kitchen. A new camp store will be created; an Open House
269
is scheduled for spring so visitors and campers can see the new updates. Camp Caney will reopen by April and we are looking forward to having the busiest summer and retreat season in years.
Camp Istrouma - Garth Frenzel, Executive Director P. O. Box 333, Greenwell Springs, LA 70739 (25975 Greenwell Springs Rd.) www.campistrouma.com
We give praise and glory to our Lord and Savior who continues to bless His ministries at our camps, retreats and conference centers. Two of our staff members attended the 2013 National Gathering for the UM Camp & Retreat Ministries to worship, train, and network with other staff members of UM camps from around the United States. In 2013, Camp Istrouma saw 816 campers during its summer camp program which included, for the first time, our Day Camp program. We gave out over $3,815 of camper’s scholarships and received from our campers $4,197.00 for the 2014 session. We had 6,301 guests come through Camp Istrouma in 2013. At the end of 2013, we started the search for a program director and in March 2014, we hired Dan Powell. For 2014, we look forward to new programming and are excited to introduce our new Wilderness Camp that will give a new experience to Camp Istrouma’s programming. We continue to serve our district churches with district events, youth retreats, and church picnics and much more. Again we give praise and honor to our Lord and Savior.
Sue Crise, on behalf of the Conference Camping Committee
BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY
Peace with Justice is one of the special celebration Sundays of the United Methodist Church and is designed to support The United Methodist Social Principles. To this end The Board of Church and Society works to assist in efforts to improve the physical and spiritual condition of those in need.
The Board of Church and Society awarded grants in the fall totaling $3000.00. These grants were awarded to McGuire UMC of West Monroe and Shalom Zone Inc. of First Street Peck Wesley UMC of New Orleans. The funds for these grants are provided through the Peace with Justice offering contributed annually by Louisiana’s United Methodist Congregations.
McGuire is partnering with First UMC of West Monroe to open a new Mobile Free Store, which will travel to impoverished neighborhoods. Jim Mooney, co-chair of the McGuire Mission Team, emphasized the move from mercy ministries to justice ministries as he linked the project’s goals of clothing children and adults to outcomes of improved academic performance, job success, and the formation of relationships through ministry with the poor. UMC Social Principles (2013-2016) emphasized in the Mobile Free Store Project relate to the Nurturing Community, The Social Community, and the Economic Community.
A grant of $1500.00 provided funds to assist with the purchase of a used trailer for the mobile Free Store. The targeted area being served has a population of about 5,000. Associate Pastor Chris McLain was inspired to develop the project through his participation in the Young Clergy Program of the General Board of Church and Society.
Shalom Zone Community, Inc., a ministry of First Street Peck Wesley UMC is expanding its services to Central City children through its Let Peace Prevail Project. It is directed by Floragene Mays Jones. Rev. Dr. Martha Orphe, pastor, supports the overall Shalom Zone goal of inspiring children with a respect for life, a respect for learning and aspirations for a quality of life free of drugs, violence, and other risky behaviors. A grant of $1500.00 provides some of the funds needed for the Let Peace Prevail Saturday program, which offers meals and Bible studies, along with such classes as conflict resolution, digital photography and music. Field trips enrich on-site activities, and volunteers support professional staff.
In the spring, the Board of Church and Society awarded $1500.00 to Shalom Zone Community Inc., to continue its work through the Let Peace Prevail Saturday program. In addition to Saturdays during the school year the program also includes a six-week summer camp designed to service 40-50 participants and includes meals and transportation.
270
Hope Ministries of Baton Rouge, 4643Winbourne Ave. also received a spring award of $1500.00. With its Peace with Justice Grant, director Janet Simmons said that Hope Ministries Baton Rouge will host a Hope Fest 2014, offering Hope clients a North Baton Rouge community resource event that brings together people of all socio-economic groups from all over the city. Community organizations from the Baton Rouge area will be available to provide information about local resources serving families striving for independence. Activities will be provided for children and youth. The event aims to serve 750-1000 people and is a follow-up to Hope Fest 2013. The overall mission of the ministry is to prevent homelessness and promote self-sufficiency. Rev. Ginny Allen serves on its board of directors.
On February 8, 2014, The Board of Church and Society, along with the LA UMW, LA UMM and LA COSROW, co- sponsored a Social Action Event at First United Methodist Church in Lafayette, La. The event was entitled “Poverty and the Christian Response”. The attendees of approximately 128, represented a good cross-section of age, gender and ethnic groups who are genuinely interested in working on this important social issue. The theme scripture for the event was Micah 6:8.
Speakers for the event included Ms. Laura Salguero, LA UMW Social Action Coordinator; Mr. Dick Stonich, Hope Ministries; Dr. Barbara Ferguson, Research on Reforms; Rev. Lisa Fitzpatrick, APEX Community Advancement and Apex Youth Center; Rev. LeMarco Cable, Bread for the World; Ms. Renee Menard, Family Promise; and Dr. Pat Bates, LA Peace with justice Coordinator. The purpose of the workshops was to inspire and equip participants to go back to their communities and put faith and education into action by establishing or working on vital anti-poverty programs.
The continued importance of works of mercy was discussed, and attendees brought a large amount of non-perishable food items for the local food bank. Attendees were urged to look for root causes and long-term solutions to the problems of poverty.
Attendees were provided with a list of scriptures, quotes, and books, and copies of the 2013-2016 Social Principles book were made available.
The Board would like to co-sponsor another Social Action Event in the Northern part of the state during the warmer months. We would also like to hold some smaller workshops on the teaching of the Social Principles.
We thank everyone for their help thus far. We hope to have greater participation from our members as we go forward.
John H. Mile, Chairman
BOARD OF DISCIPLESHIP
Accomplishment and celebration of work: In 2013 Fresh Expressions prospered thanks to the support of the district superintendents. Seven grants were made to churches of our conference to support new and innovative thinking at the local church level as we seek new ways of making disciples in the “wilderness” in which we find ourselves. A total of $3,500 ($500 more than budgeted because a church returned their 2012 grant which they were unable to use) was disbursed. The initiatives were varied, i.e. two types of community garden projects, providing food to needy children during extended breaks from school, beginning a newly monthly worship experience, and outreach to inner city youth through art and music.
The strong support we received from both the Board of Laity and the Bishop and the cabinet resulted in increased submissions for the Harry Denman Evangelism Awards (HDEA). The following people were chosen and recognized at the Clergy and Laity Sessions during the 2013 Annual Conference: Clergy – Michael D. McLaurin., pastor from the Baton Rouge District; Laity – Sue Catchings, the Baton Rouge District Lay Leader and member of the St. Francisville UMC; Youth – Katelin Delia, president of the Conference Council on Youth Ministry from the Lake Charles District.
Guidelines for the promotion and use of the Christian Education Sunday (CES) Offering were passed and a greater partnership with districts and churches is anticipated. Recently the board approved the use CES funds to scholarship persons who participate in the Discipleship Coaching Workshops.
271
Goals that are a priority for the coming year: We will continue to ask the district superintendents to take a larger role in promoting the Fresh Expressions grants and evaluating requests from their districts. They are to send forward the two best requests from their district from which the board will choose one per district (6) for each $500 grant. This seemed to increase the quality of the applications, but more are desired from our smaller churches.
The board received nominations for the HDEA in March. These will be evaluated by the Board and recipients will be recognized at Annual Conference.
With several new members being added to the board, two meetings are planned (one at annual conference and one afterwards) to reorganize our sub-committees and to plan our activities for the rest of the quadrennium.
Concerns and challenges facing the board: High turnover on the board requires reorganization and focusing on what can be done to better equip disciples of Christ across our conference. This we need to do through fewer face-to-face meetings.
Items for action/vote by the Annual Conference: None.
Charlie Langford Chair
BOARD OF GLOBAL MINISTRIES
The purpose of the Board of Global Ministries is to equip and transform people and places for God’s mission both locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. The board continues to focus on three priorities for this quadrennial: celebrating missions and mission opportunities, developing leadership in mission within the Louisiana Conference, and better communication of our mission opportunities, missionaries, and mission events and training.
In 2013, the BGM had many accomplishments to celebrate, and too many to list! Churches throughout the Louisiana Conference hosted six missionaries: Marsha Alexander from the Philippines, Joseph and Marilyn Chan from Cambodia, Dr. Pierre Manya and Dr. Simeon Kashala from Congo, and Willie Berman from Mexico. Almost one thousand gifts were given to Global Missions totaling $610,737.18 which supported needs such as pastoral salaries for clergy in Russia and Cambodia, UMCOR work in the Philippines, gifts to Willie Berman and Manos Juntas in Mexico, and support of missions in Arkansas, India, Dulac, Cambodia, Thailand, Congo, Kentucky, and Kenya. Of that total, $68,737.18 of those gifts were given on a single day - Giving Tuesday, December 3!
The BGM also celebrates a decision to increase our allocation of our budget monies to support more SAM Grants. SAM Grants provide funding for a local church or church-related institution to establish a new mission project or for ongoing funding of a new mission project started with SAM grant funds. One of the examples of the successful mission projects supported by SAM Grants is the New Room Summer Camp in Shreveport that received $2500 in SAM Grant funds in 2013. Grace Community Church of Shreveport sought funding to expand their current outreach ministries at their satellite location, the New Room, to include a daytime summer education program for at-risk children in that neighborhood. The program has expanded into a reading program in a failing neighborhood school.
The goals for 2014 that the board will focus on reflect our priorities and our budget spending, and fall in line with our priorities for this quadrennial. First, the education and training of pastors, lay leaders, young adults, and youth in missions. Several of the ways that we plan on accomplishing this is by supporting the various Weekend of the Cross youth mission events that occur every July in various cities in Louisiana and by actively participating in more Mission Training opportunities that will take place in different areas of the state. Secondly, we will work to keep a balance of missions a priority for our board; locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Balance is important for all of our lives, and especially in our actively serving others. Our third priority is establishing and encouraging better communication within the districts and conference, mainly through a webpage and social media, and by inviting more people to be part of the board discussions who are currently involved in missions. We have found that when more of us “gather around the table” and actively take part in being connectional, miracles abound.
272
As a board, we are extremely concerned with the reduction in mission budgets and giving in our churches and our apportionments from the Louisiana Annual Conference.
The board does not have any items for vote by the Annual Conference, however we do ask that all of YOU and YOUR CHURCH take part in mission! You can do this in many ways, like: • Host a missionary in your congregation. We currently have several already scheduled, contact Rev. Ann Sutton at [email protected] ◦ Helen Camarace from Cambodia - August 2-12 ◦ Elizabeth and Eric serving in Tanzania - October ◦ Willie Berman - a summer tour ◦ Young Adult Missionaries available to speak at Weekend of the Cross events, summer camps and churches • Encourage more Gifts to Missionaries and Projects locally, nationally, around the world • Establish or renew your church’s Covenant Relationship with Missionaries. • Participate in Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2015! • Send at least ONE team or ONE person on a VIM Mission nationally or internationally. Contact Brenda Coppit in the Conference Office, [email protected] for information on upcoming missions and as a resource.
Respectfully submitted, Sarah Marsalis-Luginbill Chair, Louisiana Conference Board of Global Ministries
SUPPORT ACTION MINISTRIES (SAM) GRANTS
The purpose of the Support Action Ministries (SAM) is to offer grants that will provide a portion of the initial funding necessary for a local church to establish a new mission project. SAM grants are awarded annually for up to $3,000 and can be requested for up to three years.
The SAM grant committee consists of the District Mission/Outreach Coordinator or a representative from each of the seven districts. Members of the SAM grant committee for 2014 grant review were Rachel Scott – Shreveport district, Carolyn Fletcher – Alexandria district, Jeremy Jones – Monroe district, Mollie McGee – Monroe district. Mary Corban – New Orleans district and Mary Burton- Baton Rouge district were not present, but submitted their opinions in writing. Acadiana and Lake Charles districts were not represented. The committee met to carefully review each of the six renewal applications and one new grant application. SAM grants were awarded to the following:
Renewals Village of Hope, Camphor UMC, Baton Rouge Outreach Ministry, Peoples UMC, New Orleans Briggs/Abbeville Food Pantry, Abbeville UMC, Abbeville Tutorial Program, Wesley Foundation of Southern University, Baton Rouge New Room Summer Camp, Grace Community UMC, Shreveport The Welcome Table, Mt. Zion UMC, New Orleans
New Feeding Hungry Souls and Stomachs, Faith Crossing UMC, Walker
These grants assist churches and church-related programs to reach out to many groups in their communities, including at-risk children and youth, homeless individuals and families, ethnic communities, rural and urban areas.
The SAM grant committee applauds the ministry being provided by these churches, and acknowledges them for their outstanding leadership in the area of mission and outreach. We are pleased to be able to award funds that assist in furthering the reign of God in many parts of our conference.

CAMBODIA MISSIONS
There were two teams in Mission in 2013; one in February to construct a dormitory expansion at the Samrath church; and one in July to participate in youth training and mini VBS sessions. Also the UMW of First UMC, Baton Rouge, wants to report that since 2007, $105,000 worth of hand made products have been sold and returned to the mission for women’s vocational training and children and youth scholarship projects.
For 2014, a Youth Training mission team has formed to participate in Bible study, recreation, community service, and relationship building in August. Several UMC churches headed by Trinity UMC, Ruston, are currently raising funds to build a dormitory in Beantey Menchey as an anti-trafficking effort.
Chuck Reynolds Conference Coordinator Cambodia Missions CUBA INITIATIVE REPORT 2014
This year marks the 22nd year our conference has been closely involved with the Methodist Church in Cuba (and my 20th year!). We started with an Exploratory Team in 1992, followed by our first VIM team in 1994 to help with Vacation Bible School training in local Methodist Churches.
The Cuba Initiative of the LAUMC seeks to maintain and build new relationships between individuals and churches of the Louisiana Annual Conference and the Iglesia Metodista de Cuba. We do this through VIM teams, sister church connections and personal relationships built over the years.
During October 14-25, 2013, we had a Cuba VIM team of twelve persons travel to Jamaica Iglesia Metodista in the Guantanamo district to help with the removal and reconstruction of a church roof. We continue to stay in touch with the church and the progress of construction.
On January 5, 2014, the Cuba Initiative sponsored a meeting of individuals and UM church representatives in the Baton Rouge area who have worked with the Cuba Methodist Church. We are sharing information about travel, needs, and visits that will assist our brothers and sisters in Cuba with reaching others for Christ.
In February 2014, Rev. Ginny Allen and First United Methodist Denham Springs, sponsored a visit to our conference from Rev. Jose Ramon Ruiz, district superintendent of the Sancti Spiritus district of the Iglesia Metodista en Cuba. Previously there was no Methodist Church in this province. Rev. Ruiz is starting the base church, while also planning to plant at least 5 missions that will become churches when they are able to receive enough support.
Two Louisiana VIM teams to Cuba are currently recruiting missioners for September 2014 (led by Dr. Mark Martin) and February 2015 (led by Rev. Tom Howe). We can only take 12 people per team. Any interested party in participating in a VIM team or in developing a sister church relationship between their church and a Methodist church in Cuba, please contact me at [email protected].
Please keep our Cuban brothers and sisters in Christ in your prayers as they seek to reach “Cuba para Cristo” (Cuba for Christ)!
Respectfully submitted, Mark R. Martin Coordinator, Cuba Initiative
RUSSIAN INITIATIVE
We have had two delegations travel to Ekaterinburg, Russia to minister and be ministered to by the congregation of the First United Methodist of Ekaterinburg, Russia. Our groups served, worshiped, and worked throughout the mission experiences. The light and life of Christ was evident.
The church facility is a particular focus and has been since its dedication in 2001. Leading up to that time, there were controversies over the building of the church, the contractor and his methods, and payments that were made with little
274
or no supervision of job performance. In spite of these challenges, and many other barriers, the church has become a cornerstone of the community. The church stands as the foundation for a strong and hopeful future. The June trip and the February trip were amazing. There are two different church groups that meet on Sunday for worship. Our traditional United Methodist congregation meets in the morning and a non – denominational congregation meets in the afternoon. The cooperation between the pastors and the members of the churches is most impressive. Without a doubt, lives are being changed and new members are being added. There is a Spirit and energy that is difficult to describe but easily recognizable. Vacation Bible School was a highlight in June. There were approximately 50 children in attendance each of the five days of VBS. Our teachers from Louisiana combined with the Russian teachers to provide the teaching staff. Two groups who had few commonalities found common ground through God’s Spirit.
What has taken place at the First United Methodist Church in Ekaterinburg, Russia continues to be a miracle. Countless people have been touched by these churches and many more have yet to hear the good news of the gospel.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS/DIASTER RESPONSE
(1) Summary of the response that we offered for Hurricane Isaac In the last twelve months your recovery ministry has been focusing on both the long-term response and relief work for areas of our state that were affected by Hurricane Isaac and the Acadiana flood. I would like to recap each response and its status below:
1) Floods of Acadiana- On March 13, 2012, authorities declared a state of emergency in four south Louisiana parishes — Lafayette, Acadia, St. Landry and St. Martin — after floodwaters from heavy overnight thunderstorms inundated dozens of homes which in some areas received 15” to 21” of rain. The United Way of Acadiana called upon the LA Disaster Response Ministries, Inc. to be present at the table to discuss how we could assist them in their recovery. We called upon Acadiana District Superintendent, Rev. Ed Boyd; the Acadiana District Coordinator, Rev. Scott Bullock; and Rev. Ann Sutton, pastor of Northwood United Methodist Church.
We hired a Project Manager who supervises one case manager. We built a partnership with United Way of Acadiana, who provided funds for the case manager position for 12 months. Within the 12 months, we were able to complete 235 cases without any volunteers. Our case manager used her relationship within the communities to fund all 235 cases for a total dollar amount of $118,407, which United Methodist Disaster Recovery Ministries funded, $50,000.
2) Hurricane Isaac Response- On September 1, 2012, Hurricane Isaac made a strong visit to the people of the Louisiana Annual Conference. Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey led an assessment group which was joined by Rev. Tom Hazelwood, assistant general secretary for disaster response in the United States for United Methodist Committee on Relief. To date, more than 18,500 health kits and 7,500 cleaning buckets have been distributed in storm affected areas of Louisiana. (The total value of cleaning buckets and health kits is $932,500.)
Early Response Teams responded by removing debris and some gutting of homes. From October 1, 2012 through June 2013, we received 1,657 volunteers, representing some 207 teams, offering 126,600 volunteer hours, totaling an in-kind donation of $2,721,900. Including UMCOR supplies that were handed out through our ERT Teams, salaries and operational cost of our response and our in-kind donation of labor for this disaster, this represents a total on assistance of $3,654,440.
According to official reports, an estimated 178,000 homes suffered some degree of damage from Isaac’s winds, rain and flood waters. In addition to home damage, 15 churches in the Louisiana conference are dealing with damages ranging from several feet of flood water and destroyed roofs to blown out windows in sanctuaries and parsonages. We had a grant committee reviewing the needs of those churches who had made a grant request to share some $54,379 in funds that were received throughout our 500 United
275
Methodist Churches here in the conference. An additional $69,600 from the LADRM brings the total to $123,979.
The conference disaster response ministry completed their work in the Laplace, Slidell and Maurepas areas of our state, located in hard hit St. John the Baptist St. Tammany and Livingston parishes, respectively. We hired and trained case managers and a site manager within 20 days of the storm. Our disaster response efforts will work some 125 of the cases presenting the greatest need of those communities.

BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAMPUS MINISTRY
a. Accomplishments and Celebration of Work Completed
Live are being changed! Campus Ministry is making a difference! The “emerging adult generation” is being reached! The following are comments taken from each of our Campus Ministries’ 2013 Fall Review Reports. Come and experience our Campus Ministries first hand at our Wesley Foundations, or in depth at the Fall Review, October 6-7, 2014, Wesley Center.
Ministry Happens! - comments from our Campus Ministers…
Centenary College “Stepping Stones is Centenary’s weekly student-led service. The students plan everything, from the music, to the altar design, to the format and they recruit students and community leaders, including U.M. clergy, to offer the messages.”
Grambling (Note: Grambling is in the process of reorganizing itself, with a new Board of Directors, Ms. Doret Gilbert-Wilson, chair, which is currently defining its mission and ministry and assessing the ministry needed.)
L.S.U. “Small groups are our key areas for strengthened relationships as well as intentional discipleship.”
La. Tech “We have a very strong focus on Christian community and how that is to be lived out through our lives for the sake of others.”
McNeese “Introducing, teaching, and practicing Wesley’s “Means of Grace” will be our ongoing project throughout this year, especially for our Thursday Night Worship.”
Northwestern “Tuesday Lunch…Students from all walks of life come together to share a meal and God’s love with one another.”
Southeastern “We have met in weekly small group Bible Study and discussion/snack time following the study…this was a diverse group of an international student, non-traditional student, local residents, students and myself.”
Southern “Our Vision: To be a spiritual haven for the students, faculty and staff of Southern University and to raise up spiritual leaders to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”
277
Tulane “Mission and service continues to be a primary focus for our Wesley Foundation.”
U.L.L. “…the student leading the study had never really taught a Bible Study and was at first a little awkward…she had an ‘aha’ moment as I showed her how to do word studies…she became very excited about the new Bible Study tool she had learned and began using it immediately.”
U.L.M. “Come…Grow…Serve. Everything we do at Wesley fits into one of those categories.”
General Comments: The CBHECM has become an active, working Board, and has developed much needed policies and procedures, accountability tools, and evaluation procedures that have ensured vital and vibrant campus ministries. Specifically, four of our campus ministries over the past year have benefitted from this evaluative work.
The “Criteria for Campus Ministry” document is crucial to providing “measurements of the movement.” This Criteria, along with “intentional and disciplined conversations” with directors and local boards, has helped to ensure that a difference is being made in the lives of our students. This is the “plum line” to evaluate effectiveness and fruitfulness.
Goals that are a Priority for the Upcoming Year
Providing a “relational, Christ-centered presence” on our college campuses Implementing the “Criteria for Campus Ministry” Making a difference, changing lives Being a “movement” with shared identity and purpose To become disciple makers in order “To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world”
At upcoming meetings the CBHECM will specifically work on the following to help achieve the above goals: Finalize the “Selection and Termination of Personnel” policy. Develop a plan to train all local boards. Develop a new paradigm of doing campus ministries, considering the role of the local church and the need to be “in the path” of college students. b. Concerns and Challenges Facing Board or Agency
Adequate funding is a major concern of our campus ministries. The Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry is encouraging each campus ministry to work towards being self-funded. The goal here is for our campus ministries to not rely solely on conference funding for operational expenses. HOWEVER, as you see below, having a “relational, Christ centered presence” and “being in the pathway of students” requires a large financial commitment. It also requires new and invigorated support from local congregations – partnership in ministry…not just a resource for funding.
NOTE: The column below is to show the fundraising obligation currently being shouldered by the individual campus ministries. This is in addition to the grants received from the Annual Conference:
Centenary $ 5,022 Grambling* $ 0 La. Tech $242,841 LSU $ 49,701 McNeese $ 78,253 Northwestern $ 29,100 Southeastern $ 23,785 Southern $ 28,218 Tulane $ 42,000 ULL $ 51,850 ULM $184,977 Total Current Fundraising Obligation: $735,749

c. Items for Action/Vote by the Annual Conference
Though not anticipated, should the proposed 2015 Budget for the Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry be less than $660,000, then the Board requests your support of an amendment to the Conference Budget keeping the 2015 budget at its current 2014 rate. Thank you for supporting the Conference Budget for our Campus Ministries in 2014, and thank you for supporting the 2015 proposed budget.
BOARD OF LAITY The 2012-2016 Conference Board of Laity is focused upon following the Mission Statement and Vision Statement as we serve the laity of the Louisiana Conference.
Mission Statement: As the Conference Board of Laity, we are called to love and to serve All God’s people in All places and in All times.
Vision Statement: As the Conference Board of Laity, we are to make disciples of Jesus Christ to transform the world through spiritual growth opportunities, education opportunities, leadership training, and certified schooling for specialized areas of ministry for the people of the Louisiana Conference.
We celebrate: 1. The continued dissimilation of changes for the Lay Servant Ministry program. 2. The participation in the Certified Lay Minister program. 3. The confirmation of the continued emphasis of higher education through the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship Fund. 4. The formation of the Laity Excellence in Ministry task force team. 5. The opportunity to transform the Laity Session during Annual Conference. 6. The opportunity to have Mr. Rick Wheat, president/CEO of the Louisiana United Methodist Children and Family Services speak during the annual conference laity breakfast. 7. The leadership of Rev. Dr. David Lowes Watson as the facilitator for the Bishop’s Laity Retreat. 8. The commitment of the CBOL to disseminate information with the Louisiana Conference laity to enhance their service to the Lord and the church.
Our Goals and Priorities: 1. To better inform the laity of the Louisiana Conference of opportunities to: a. Grow spiritually through three day spiritual retreats. b. Grow in their ability to serve as Lay Speakers. c. Grow in their ability to lead Bible studies, etc. d. Grow in their ability to become Certified in specialized ministries in The United Methodist Church. e. Grow in their ability to become a Certified Lay Minister. 2. To open more avenues of communication: a. Within the Louisiana Conference. b. Within the districts. c. With districts sharing information throughout the conference. d. With local churches sharing learning/training opportunities with other churches in their area.
Concerns and Challenges: 1. Improving communication with the laity of the Louisiana Conference. 2. Improving communication within each district. 3. Improving communication with all age groups especially the youth and young adults. 4. Improving the scheduling of opportunities for learning/training events. 5. Improving the process for the Church Starts Ministry program. 6. Supporting the laity delegates for General and Jurisdictional conferences.
279
7. Challenging the laity to focus on God and the excellence in ministry we are ALL called to perform in serving the church.
As an officer for the CBOL I want to thank you for your continued support and prayers as I attempt to guide the CBOL in representing you and our Lord. I also want to thank Bishop Harvey, the Cabinet, and the Extended Cabinet for their support and guidance since I was elected. As in all matters of the church it takes all of the Louisiana Conference laity to shape/form the service that we undertake to our Lord and Savior.
Carolyn Dove, Conference Lay Leader Terrel DeVille, Associate Conference Lay Leader
LAY SERVANT MINISTRIES
The transition from Lay Speaking to Lay Servant Ministries has been completed in all districts. Adjustments have been made to the curriculum to include those studies that are required for all three of the new classifications. Efforts have been made and are continuing to be developed to educate laity and clergy about the responsibilities associated with each new lay servant classification. The District Directors of Lay Servant Ministries have worked diligently to organize the training sessions and communicate the dates, times and locations of the classes. Specific efforts are being made to conduct the classes strategically within the districts to best accommodate the training needs. The Conference Lay Servant Ministries Committee is setting procedures in place to improve the dissemination of lay servant training information so that it will be received by more laity and timelier.
Lay servants are called to give primary service within the local church but they have a wide range of functions both in the church and in the community. The three tenets of lay servant ministries are: LEADING, CARING, and COMMUNICATING. These words describe what lay servants do in mission and ministry both within and beyond The United Methodist Church. Clergy, PLEASE call upon our lay servants to serve in the areas of ministry to which they have been gifted or called.
The hundreds of laity who have gone through lay servant ministries training are actively involved in churches throughout the conference. We continue to promote lay servant ministries as a way for laity to receive training to become better servants and leaders to the world around us. Beyond the basic course, there are over a dozen advanced courses in more specific areas such as worship, preaching, storytelling, evangelism, prayer, caring, missions, etc.
Lay servant ministries courses were held throughout the Louisiana Conference this year. Great effort is taken to insure that the Local Servant, Certified Lay Servant and Lay Speaking courses are designed to meet the needs of the conference churches. If the time/location/topic in your district does not meet your schedule, you are encouraged to register for a lay speaking course that is being held in another district.
There are currently eleven certified lay ministers in the Louisiana Annual Conference. Several who have attended the training and orientation are currently progressing through the process to become a Certified Lay Minister. At the time of preparation of this report, there are over 40 who have expressed an interest in learning more about Certified Lay Ministry and will be invited to submit their application for orientation and training that will occur on 26 April. The discerning process includes determining, through prayer and consultation with their pastor, the ministry to which they want to connect. Certified lay ministry is not just a next step after becoming a certified lay servant. There is a greater commitment and obligation to a service where special talents and spiritual gifts can be used.
Information about the certified lay minister program can be found on the Louisiana Conference website.
The Louisiana Conference is blessed to have such dedicated and talented District Directors of Lay Servant Ministries leading each district program. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to the District Lay Leaders for their support and assistance with this ministry.

DAUGHENBAUGH-MATHENY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Louisiana United Methodist students attending Dillard University or Centenary College are encouraged to apply for the Daughenbaugh-Matheny scholarship. They must maintain a 2.5 grade point average and be active in the local church. A letter of recommendation from their pastor and a teacher must also be submitted to the Conference Director of the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship Fund.
We celebrate the work of our District Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship Chairs who work very hard to raise funds from their respective districts to fund the scholarship. During the 2013-2014 school year the following students received the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship in the amount of $1000 each. Recipients attending Dillard are Robert Green, Tamara Johnson, Micolette Jackson and Jordan Johnson. Those recipients attending Centenary College are Alexandra Hornsby, Nicole Sanders, Abigail Dillard, Victor Robert, Paige Pritchett, Katelyn Briscoe, Logan Settoon, Robin Chailland, Amanda Price, Cameron Brandao, Alissa Brown, Nathaniel Dauphin, Calvin Davis, Ryan Elledge, Benjamin Green, Kaitlyn Squires, Emma Vizkozki, Abie Woods and Kristen Young. These young people are appreciative of the help and work very hard to maintain not only their grades but active participation in service projects.
District Chairpersons are as follows: Jane Blackwell and Dafney Yaun (Acadiana District), Rhonda Whitley (Baton Rouge District), Lori Pritchett (Lake Charles District), Jan Rose (Monroe District), Nick Harris (New Orleans District). Since there is not a chair in the Shreveport District, Gordon Bartage, District Lay Leader is working with the committee. We appreciate the leadership of these chairpersons. We have seen creativity at its best as a wide variety of activities have occurred throughout the conference in order to raise funds for the scholarship. Our concern is that there are still a number of people in our conference that remain unaware of the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship. Several email applications were sent to pastors so students in the local church would be informed. As a committee, we would like for every church in the Louisiana Conference to make a monetary donation annually to the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship Fund regardless of the size of the offering. It would show support and ownership of efforts to assist students in developing into strong leaders in the Methodist church. Our efforts to inform all churches will continue as we strive to increase the giving and serve more students in the Louisiana Conference with the funds collected.
This year the Daughenbaugh-Matheny Scholarship Fund Committee has the esteemed privilege of selecting a student from Dillard University to receive the William Hutchinson Scholarship in the amount of $1000. Former Louisiana Bishop Hutchinson will also choose a student from Centenary College to receive a $1000 scholarship. Our duties are expanding and we are excited to serve in this capacity.
Valla M. Johnson, Director
CHURCH STARTS MINISTRIES – A SECOND MILE GIVING OPPORTUNITY Church Starts Ministry (formerly the Bob Lay 1000 Club) is dedicated to the goal of assisting The Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church in: Planting and constructing new churches Restarting, relocating, and renovating existing churches Assisting existing churches in repairs and construction Money foe CSM is raised by each district (Annual Conference year starting July, 2014) through donations by local churches and interested individuals.

281
I encourage every district CSM chair and lay leader to encourage local churches to have a church representative to be on their administrative board to keep the lines of communication open. I leave you with one of the “Core Values of the Louisiana Conference”: “We will be open to the creative movement of God’s spirit, not institutional priorities, in order to serve the mission.” Eloise Cox Conference Chair, Church Starts Ministries
CONFERENCE OFFICE OF YOUTH MINISTRIES
Conference Office of Youth Ministries has had an eventful and successful year, starting with the hiring of Sabrina Short in August 2013, as the Youth Ministry Strategist whose focus is to develop principled Christian youth leaders within the Louisiana Annual Conference. The position oversees Conference and District programs and activities under Conference Council on Youth Ministries, while also implementing new vehicles for discipleship, evangelism, mission, stewardship and fellowship.
Office of Youth Ministry is focused on the purpose to equip young people for ministry and ministry leadership; to foster and enhance spiritual growth in youth and those who work with youth; to resource local congregations in the area of effective youth ministry; to provide training for those who work with young people; to actively participate in and promote the “connection” through district, conference, jurisdictional, national and international events and programs and through meeting disciplinary structural guidelines.
The theme this conference year was Grace based on Ephesians 2:8. Youth and Youth Workers reflected on God’s Grace as we served our youth, laity and clergy in the Louisiana Conference. There is much to celebrate and much to be thankful for as there are ministries in our Conference thriving and truly going outside the walls to share the love of Jesus with the world. Churches are bringing their youth on local and global mission trips, churches are leading outreach with ministries with the poor, youth are leading worship and churches are building spaces that are truly youth friendly with open doors. Churches are showing they are making disciples of Jesus Christ with our youth at the helm.
Youth events and activities are planned, organized and implemented by youth of Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM). Youth Ignite also known as Fall Convocation is the largest youth event in the conference each year. This one-day event is held regionally throughout the conference as a tri-district event. Mostly focused on fellowship and worship, youth gather at this event for fun within the “connection”.. 2013 we served 215 youth in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge District. We had an amazing response in registration for Acadiana/Lake Charles Districts although the event had to be canceled due to inclement weather. We had low registration in Monroe and Shreveport District so that event also had to be cancelled. However, our priority is to work with this district directly to identify youth leaders and youth workers to focus on identifying ways to strengthen the district.
CCYM Conference Retreats are organized by youth for youth of the Louisiana Annual Conference with the purpose of spiritual growth and formation with youth across the denomination. Youth leaders on CCYM build and strengthen leadership skills, serve as a model young servants, and discern their call in ministry. 2013 we have served a 200 at Junior High Retreats and 230 at Senior High Retreat. We hope in the future to focus on impact and reduce the cost of the event making it more accessible and affordable for disadvantaged youth and smaller churches throughout the Conference. Looking ahead the Office of Youth Ministries will strive to create more spaces for celebrating youth, equipping our youth workers, honoring leadership and lifting up the work of local churches.
Youth coordinators and directors will have the resources, training and support they need to lead to grow youth ministry and connect to the greater community. Youth voice and leadership incorporated in local church and conference level ministry strategies. Develop effective methods for sharing information, collaboration, sharing best practices and creating effective processes for youth ministry. Opportunities to reinforce the denominational connection on the district, conference, jurisdiction and national level.
282
Office of Youth Ministries for the Louisiana Annual Conference is focused on strengthening our capacity by creating spaces for diverse demographics and sustaining our work by diversifying our funding sources. The Annual Conference has been very clear about changing how we “do” Youth Ministries, based on the feedback received from pastors, youth workers and youth, local churches.
We want our work to be more than the number youth served at Conference events but rather to shift our focus to the impact our work is making on the local church level. Our budget and goals are directly in line with the core values of Louisiana Annual Conference to take risks, but also staying true to the mission focusing on ‘making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world’.
UNITED METHODIST MEN
The Louisiana UMM has had a busy year on development of men’s training programs in Men’s Ministry Specialist, Scouting Ministry Specialist, Lead like Jesus, and Louisiana Disciple Bible Outreach Ministries with our Prison systems.
We have five (5) churches operating the Upper Room Pray line thought out the state weekly and we support them with funds each year.
Working with Boy and Girl Scout units throughout the state with leadership and funding, plus 4-H program.
At the National Commission on United Methodist Men in Nashville meeting of National Presidents, Pray Advocators, and Foundation, we received an award for increase in Men’s Charters in Louisiana.
On a joint effect with the Louisiana UMW and UMM, we sponsored a program on poverty at First UMC in Lafayette in February 2014.
The 2014 Louisiana Annual Conference of the UMM will be at the Wesley Center in Woodworth, Louisiana, on Friday and Saturday, May 9-10, 2014.
Highlights will be putting together 10,000 meals for the Stop Hunger Program. Breakout sessions for four (4) training areas for churches.
The Scouts are having a Camporee, plus national speakers on Saturday.
We incorporate programs to assist the Pastors in their work.
Wayne Prejean, UMM Conference President
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN OF THE LOUISIANA CONFERENCE
The UMW Conference Leadership Team recognizes that this is not a report on how well the Leadership Team performed, but rather it is a report on how well the Local Units performed, as the Local Units are the strength of United Methodist Women. The Conference Leadership Team works to help the Local Units to develop the UMW Purpose involving spiritual growth, supportive fellowships and missions.
We celebrate the Local Units and their many accomplishments. At the Conference Annual Meeting, we award certificates in recognition of accomplishments at the Local level. Certificate recipients can be found on our website. However, many Local Units do not submit information for certificates, stating that the only recognition needed is the fulfillment that comes in helping others through their mission work and outreach.
The UMW Local Units in Louisiana continue to pledge nearly one quarter million dollars yearly to support the global ministries of the church as defined by the national UMW office.
283
An important part of UMW is our education program, Mission u. At the Conference level, a four day Mission u event is held every summer. At each of the District levels, a one day Mini-Mission u is held. These events are very successful. In addition, both at the Conference and District levels, there are events on Social Action Issues and Spiritual Growth, which are equally as well attended.
The UMW Goals for the coming year include: To better understand and implement the new Constitutions and Bylaws developed by the national UMW office. To renew our commitment, at the Conference Leadership Team level, as servant leaders in helping the Local Units and Districts to develop and grow in mission, with the ultimate of goal of increasing membership and the number of Local Units.
The challenges that face UMW are: The aging of UMW members and the concomitant reduction of UMW Local Units. The innovativeness needed to attract younger women who are in the workforce, in college, and/or mothers caring for young children.
Please continue to hold the United Methodist Women of the Louisiana Conference in your prayers.
Dr. Barbara Ferguson, UMW Conference President
CHRISTIAN UNITY AND INTERRELIGIOUS RELATIONSHIPS (OCUIR)
The Louisiana Commission on Christian Unity and Inter-Religious Concerns (CCUIC) is now the Louisiana Conference Office of Christian Unity and Interreligious Relationships (OCUIR).
OCUIR is the part of The United Methodist Church which engages with and talks to other Christian denominations to work toward unity and peace. OCUIR also helps interpret The United Methodist Church's role as it encounters other living faith communities, cultures and ideologies.
What is OCUIR's role in the church? Its unique leadership role within The United Methodist Church is two- fold: Working toward God's gift of unity of the whole body of Christ, which is integral to making disciples of Jesus Christ, and strengthening interreligious relationships, which enable community building.
Within the context of biblical and theological understanding OCUIR works for the visible unity of the human community and the renewal of God's creation. The Office leads the church in seeking to live into God's vision of the unity of creation through its advocacy on behalf of the church universal and in its work with other faith communities.
Elections: Vice Chair - Rev. Monica Monk to replace Rev. John Vining Continuing Chairperson – Rev. Erica R. Jenkins; Secretary –Rev. Heather Leyland; Treasurer – Glenn Turner
Vision/Goals of the Louisiana Conference OCUIR are threefold To promote ecumenical and interfaith cooperation among diverse communities in Louisiana. Inform and educate members of the Louisiana Conference about mutual agreements and cooperative ministry occurring among diverse faith communities in Louisiana. Represent and participate in the ecumenical and interfaith gatherings and ongoing work.
All members are asked to continue or begin ecumenical and interfaith efforts in their areas and inform the OCUIR. LA OCUIR is a working ministry led by our passions as the LORD leads.

COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS
The Conference Communications department continues to work to share the message of mission and ministry through the Louisiana Annual Conference within the state and throughout the denomination.
A weekly e-letter is produced by the Conference Communications department which communicates news to our clergy, laity and subscribers, free of charge. The e-letter is filled with short features and links to important information about vital church resources, coming events, trainings and spiritual opportunities.
Replacing the monthly Louisiana Now! conference newspaper, the Conference Communications Department launched a new print publication in March of 2014. This quarterly magazine—also entitled Louisiana Now!—is filled with interesting feature stories about cutting edge ministry in our own conference. The focus of the publication is to provide inspiring examples of ministry and best practices that can benefit our local churches. Vibrant pictures and uplifting stories makes this new publication enjoyable to read—and should serve as the right complement to the weekly Conference e-letter.
As always, digital files of printed issues of the Louisiana Now! are posted on the conference website. Most churches are forwarding those files on to their congregation and posting them on their websites. In addition, the subscribers to the e-letter receive a link to the print issue posted on the conference website. In 2013, special editions and inserts for the Louisiana Now! have focused on Louisiana Volunteers in Mission, Wesley Foundation/Campus Ministry, United Methodist Women and Dillard University.
At the 2013 United Methodist Association of Communicators gathering in Chicago, the Conference Director of Communications Betty Backstrom took first and third place honors in news writing (a story on UMCOR health kits
286
used after Hurricane Isaac and a second story featuring Rev. Lisa Fitzpatrick, founder of APEX Youth Center in New Orleans, who was named a 2013 CNN Hero).
The Communication Director has also: Assisted local churches establishing hospitality ministries, greeter trainings and expanding technology Continued to strengthen conference presence on the Web and Facebook. Designed and introduced a mobile phone app for the Conference
We continue to have a significant presence in statewide media through events like the conference-wide 2013 Louisiana Skeeter Run, eight 5K and 1 mile walk/runs held throughout the state in March. (The Skeeter Run was our third conference-wide Rethink Church event, following in the footsteps of the 2012 Louisiana Skeeter Run and the 2011 Day of Caring held in May of that year.) The 2014 Louisiana Skeeter Run is slated for Oct. 11 in seven cities throughout the conference.
More than 2,500 runners, walkers and volunteers participated in the widely publicized Skeeter Run and approximately $78,000 was raised through registrations and donations for Imagine No Malaria, the denomination’s initiative to eradicate malaria worldwide.
The communications strategy for the Louisiana Skeeter Run followed the same format for previous Rethink Church events, implementing a statewide media initiative which included broadcast media and billboard campaigns. Additional publicity included a series of feature articles; the use of social media; creation of a digital press packet for local churches to use in publicizing their efforts; media coverage of the statewide event; and appearance on morning TV talk shows and radio shows in every major market in the state.
The communications strategy for the Louisiana Skeeter Run was assisted with help from our friends at United Methodist Communications. In addition to the use of social media, in-conference promotion through our newspaper and website, and an extensive publicity campaign, we added these components provided by UMCOM: A professionally designed microsite where race participants registered for the event Graphic art support for event flyers and web/e-letter banners for our local churches and supporting groups Funding for statewide radio and billboard campaigns and for Facebook ads A t-shirt design and t-shirts for race participants
UMCOM has already committed a grant in the amount of $30,000 for the 2014 event.
Plans are underway for the 2014 Louisiana Skeeter Run, slated for October 11 in seven cities throughout the state. Gary Merrifield, a member of University UMC in Baton Rouge, is the overall director. UMCOM is partnering with the Louisiana Conference, once again, providing a grant to support radio ads, Facebook and Google ads, the registration microsite, graphic support, gift bags and bottles for the runners.

LOUISIANA CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION
A Catalyst for Growth
The mission of Louisiana Congregational Development and Transformation is to be a catalyst for growth in the Louisiana Conference.
We accomplish our mission by identifying and equipping lay and clergy leaders called to launch new faith communities and lay and clergy leaders called to lead existing congregations into transformation and revival.
287
Your conference apportionments are invested in providing the training, mentoring, tools, and resources leaders need to impact their mission field, make disciples for Jesus Christ, and transform the world.
Below you will find a brief description of our work in 2013 and a preview of what is to come in 2014 and beyond.
Launching New Faith Communities
During our presentation at the 2013 Annual Conference we invited you to join in prayer for Rev. Robert Johnson and the launch of the New Church on Louisiana Avenue in Lafayette. The New Church was the first new African-American Church plant in the Louisiana Conference in over 20 years. Under Robert’s leadership the New Church has experience tremendous growth and is one of the fastest growing United Methodist congregations in Louisiana. In the very near future appointments will be made to launch a new congregation at the site of the historic Carrollton UMC in New Orleans as well as a new church start in north Monroe/Sterlington area.
In addition to New Orleans and north Monroe/Sterlington preparations are being made for the launch of a new congregation in southeastern quadrant of Lake Charles. This launch is in anticipation of the substantial population growth projected for southwest Louisiana in the next few years.
Both clergy and laity who are sensing a call to help launch new congregations are encouraged to contact our office to begin the assessment process.
Leading Congregational Transformation
Since last Annual Conference Congregational Development and Transformation, in partnership with Dr. Phil Maynard, has launched three initiatives to help existing congregations experience transformation and be better equipped to impact their mission field for the Kingdom of God: Discovering the Possibilities, Discipleship Coaching, and The Shifts Network.
In the past year 6 congregations have experienced the Discovering the Possibilities workshop. Discovering the Possibilities is a 5 hour facilitated process designed to assist congregational leaders in understanding the realities of their ministry context and current ministries, and to begin discerning realistic possibilities for their future and in ministry. A user friendly, written report capturing data and findings, as well as next steps for each congregation is provided as part of the process. In order to help more congregations experience Discovering the Possibilities over 20 clergy and laity have been trained as facilitators and are available to help your congregation take advantage of this opportunity.
Discipleship Coaching helps persons identify where they find themselves on their own discipleship journey. From initial steps of “checking out the faith” to those “centered in Christ,” each individual identifies one of 6 possible places they find themselves on the journey. After this identification is made, the Discipleship Coaching process guides people toward a centered life in Christ and allows those finding themselves centered to remain focused and explore new passions and dreams for a life joined in ministry with Jesus. Over the past year 5 Discipleship Coaching events have been offered and over 200 clergy and laity have experienced this powerful training event.
The Shifts Network is a congregational process designed to help a congregation live into its God-given potential. Shifts involves training around congregational, spiritual and leadership shifts that are necessary to move toward vitality. The training is complimented by a coaching relationship that supports the congregational leadership in identifying potential opportunities for growth, planning for congregational development, and implementation of the plans. The Shift experience includes four on-site, Saturday workshops and monthly coaching through video conferencing.
Our 2013-2014 Shifts Network participant churches are: First UMC, Alexandria; St. John’s UMC, Baton Rouge; Faith Community UMC, Broussard; Fitzgerald UMC, Covington; New Church on Louisiana Ave, Lafayette; University UMC, Lake Charles; Kenner/El Mesias UMC, Metairie; St. Matthew’s UMC, Metairie; St. Paul’s UMC, Monroe; Mt. Zion UMC, New Orleans; Lakeview UMC, Shreveport; Summer Grove UMC, Shreveport.
288
Thank you for your prayers and financial support in 2013. Your generosity is helping catalyze our conference. The metric is simple: the more leaders we equip to launch new congregations and lead existing congregations to rebirth and renewal the more opportunities we have to help more people find God. When people encounter the grace and love of God in Jesus Christ, everything is made new.

HISPANIC/LATINO MINISTRIES
During 2013, the Hispanic/Latino (H/L) Ministries in the New Orleans District continued emphasizing the successful fulfillment of the objectives set up for the H/L Community Centers in three main areas: 1) Expansion of the community ministries, 2) Leadership development, and 3) Congregational development.
Expansion of Community Ministries/Congregational Development We continued expanding the Hispanic/Latino ministries via El Mesias UMC and the two centers in the New Orleans District (Located at First Grace UMC and Covenant UMC). The centers consolidated all the educational programs to be offered at The Seed (La Semilla) Hispanic/Latino Center for Educational Development located at First Grace UMC. It continued offering many programs, including English as a Second Language, Spanish and GED classes, etc. (200 students have enrolled.) Ten volunteer teachers and more than 24 students from Tulane University are helping to conduct these classes. In addition, we offer Bible Studies, job referrals, health care, child care, etc. These programs are addressing the needs of the H/L community and developing strong relationships with the immigrants.
During the second half of 2012 and the first half of 2013, El Mesias UMC in Kenner continued expanding and upgrading the programs/services offered to better serve more Hispanics and Latinos. It continued holding Bible studies, Sunday worship services with an attendance of about 60-80 people, and six Sunday- School classes (one for adults, three for children, one for youth and adolescents, and one for new members). The church has 7 Certified Lay Speakers and five new leaders, including two young adults, who were trained in the functions of the church.
Other community outreach services are also offered by the 3 Community Centers, health fairs, semi-annual health surveys, College fairs, motivational conferences, Pastoral care, etc. Translation services are also available on an as- needed basis. Individual and family counseling are available at the church and centers. Food and clothing are provided to anyone in need. In addition, we are offering a Bilingual Worship Service on Sunday morning at First Grace UMC.
Leadership Development
Under the leadership of GBGM Missionary Rev. Dr. Oscar Ramos, arrangements are being made to bring to Louisiana two multicultural events sponsored by GBGM. In this endeavor, Oscar is working with Kenner UMC, Gretna UMC, Saint Mark UMC, First Grace UMC and the GBGM. The first one is planned for May 7-9, 2014 and will be focused on worship and music in multicultural congregations or churches looking to develop this kind of ministry. The second one will be focused on how to create this multicultural ministries, share stories and learn from each other. At this event, our multicultural congregations in Louisiana will have the opportunity to share their experience in this area.
Under the leadership of GBGM Missionary Rev. Juanita Ramos, plans are underway for the opening of another Hispanic/Latino ministry in coordination with Gretna UMC. English classes are scheduled to start on April 7, 2014 and about 25 students are already registered for these classes. A Steering Committee from Gretna UMC is working hard developing, not only the ESL program, but also a coordinated effort to reach out the Hispanic/Latino community already established in the area. Rev. Dr. Tim Smith, Senior pastor, expressed that reaching out the Hispanic/Latino community will be the priority at Gretna UMC this year. We are very excited about the possibilities.
During 2013, former GBGM Missionary Maribel Calvo continued her appointment as Local Pastor of El Mesias until the end of June. Maribel and her family moved to Arizona. Pete Aguila continued his duties as chairperson of the Finance and Budget Review Group of the Connectional Table (CT). He is also co-chairing the CT/GCFA Budget Process Team for the 2017-2020 quadrennial.
289
Overall Accomplishments
Consolidated, expanded and enhanced the existing educational opportunities for the H/L community via La Semilla Center for Educational Development.
Achieved increase in laity participation in worship services and other functions of the church at El Mesias UMC (current attendance fluctuating from 60 to 80 people). Worship attendance is 35-55 people at the First Grace Center. About 15 people from the Covenant UMC Center continued attending services at the First Grace UMC location.
Continued supporting and improving the quality of life of many Hispanic/Latinos in distress.
Continued achieving definite performance enhancement in the areas of leadership development and congregational development.
Continued affirming the need and desire to expand Hispanic/Latino ministries to other districts of the Annual Conference.
Concerns/Challenges
The mobility of the Hispanic/Latino community is always a challenge. Last year we experienced an increase of ICE raids being conducted in the New Orleans Metropolitan area, thus creating a lot of instability in the community that often ends on moving to other areas. Chalmette is a good example of this sad situation.
Priorities for Coming Year
For several years, the Hispanic/Latino (H/L) ministries of the LA Conference have been concentrated in the New Orleans District. This district was selected because it has the largest Hispanic/Latino population in our area. Eventually, El Mesias UMC in Kenner became the only H/L church of our conference. With the advent of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and others, the large flow of Hispanic newcomers to the area lead to the establishment of faith communities and Community Centers at El Mesias UMC, First Grace UMC and Covenant UMC. These additions contributed to the success of our H/L ministries in the district. At present, the decrease in growth of incoming Hispanics into the area and the job-related shifting towards other areas are notable.
The LA Conference is now experimenting with more multicultural settings for Hispanics that should allow expansion to all the districts. As a first step, El Mesias UMC and First Kenner. UMC have merged into one congregation at the larger First Kenner location. So far, this experiment seems to be working well for both congregations using bilingual worship services and activities. We are planning to engage with a small group this spring to begin dreaming and imagining what the Hispanic/Latino ministry might look like in the Louisiana Conference.
We are hoping to continue experimenting and improving. In 2015, we may have multicultural churches all throughout the districts.
Pete Aguila, Chair
NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES 2013
The Ministry of the Louisiana Conference Native American Ministries (LACONAM) celebrates the many accomplishments to help the people of Dulac in 2013. We celebrate the many groups who came to Dulac to work with Clanton Chapel and Clanton Chapel Christian Preschool as Partners in Mission, and the Volunteers in Mission that
290
came to work with the Dulac Community Center to help the church and community. We celebrate the many meetings held concerning the environment and other concerns at the Dulac Community Center. We continue to celebrate the work of Clanton Chapel in the Native American inclusiveness of culture in worship and the sharings from many United Methodists who came to Dulac. We celebrate the many new diverse members of Clanton Chapel. We celebrate the inclusiveness of Clanton Chapel in helping others beyond the local church through Clanton Chapel Preschool and other outreaching programs of the local church. We continue to celebrate the 130+ years of Methodism in Dulac, and Clanton Chapel in Making Disciples for Jesus Christ, and the Dulac Community Center’s 80+ years of service to the residents of Dulac. We celebrate the dedication of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aid to Navigation Station at Dulac’s new facilities, as Clanton Chapel fought to keep this station from being closed, and is now rebuilt for southern Louisiana. We celebrate the citizens of Terrebonne Parish who taxed themselves a few years ago to begin the Morganza to the Gulf Hurricane Protection Levee System and the completion and dedication of the massive Bubba Dove gate on the Houma Navigation Canal South of Dulac in 2013 as progress is made to complete the Levee system without Federal dollars. We celebrate the Working Poor Ministry of Clanton Chapel to bring Spiritual and material help to Make Disciples for Jesus Christ and the VIM groups who worked with Clanton Chapel to learn a new evangelism program to share and take home to their home churches. We celebrate Bishop Cynthia Fiero Harvey’s leadership in leading us into the Blessedness of the Wilderness Journey as Clanton Chapel has adopted in her honor, a special Journey Walking stick gathered by the pastor in forbidden territory and presented to new members, members who have reached out in a special way, and other people who have carried the Good News beyond Clanton Chapel to help Make Disciples for Jesus Christ.
Goals that are a priority for next year: LACONAM has identified the need to empower Native Americans within the United Methodist Church and other churches as for too long Native people were not instructed of the many roles that need to be fulfilled within the work of the church and many opportunities were not offered to those Native Americans who became part of the Faith Community and as a result, losses were incurred that may never be recovered, but the hope is that through education in the diversity of the United Methodist Church, others will come into Methodism. LACONAM has included many young Native Americans from Clanton Chapel as members and future leaders of Clanton Chapel and institutions of the United Methodist Church. LACONAM seeks to help develop more speakers on Native American needs in Louisiana and invite anyone interested to take part to share our story. LACONAM seeks to invite groups and individuals to help in the ministries of Clanton Chapel and the Dulac Community Center, two unique, separate ministries who seek to make a difference in the lives of the people of Dulac. In 2014, LACONAM would like to request that all churches in the Louisiana Annual Conference have one person designated at charge conference to promote and inform church members of the 2014 Native American Ministries Sunday Offering to better support our ministries in Louisiana and beyond. Concerns and challenges: LACONAM seeks to continue to identify and invite Native Americans and others interested within Louisiana Annual Conference Churches to take part in the support of LACONAM throughout the conference to support Clanton Chapel and the Dulac Community Center Ministries in Dulac. LACONAM thanks all who have contributed to the Native American Ministries Sunday Offering and would like for more persons to support our Native American Ministries. A new concern is that the Louisiana Annual Conference Native American Ministries would like to urge clergy and laity to be in consultation with LACONAM if there is any question on Native American traditions or issues to avoid problems as the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference and the Annual Conference of Oklahoma have faced over the Oklahoma auto license plate taken to court by a member of the Oklahoma Annual Conference (Rev. Keith Cressman) without consultation with Native American United Methodists of the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference which has resulted in many ill feelings that could have been avoided through open communications, consultations and respect. We are also concerned that as the community of Dulac changes due to the constant migration of people further north to avoid hurricane flooding that all available resources of the United Methodist Church should focus on Making Disciples for Jesus Christ to continue the growth of a vibrant, diverse, and committed Clanton Chapel in these challenging times.
Items for action by the Louisiana Annual Conference: The Louisiana Annual Conference Native American Ministries (LACONAM) would like to request the continued support of the Multicultural Ministries committee under the leadership of Juan Huertes, LACONAM Liaison Dr. Don C. Cottrill, and support of the Clanton Chapel-Clanton Chapel Christian Preschool, and the Dulac Community Center Ministries by the Louisiana Annual Conference, Bishop Cynthia Fiero Harvey, the Cabinet, Clergy and Laity. LACONAM would like to ask for the continued support of the Federal Recognition of the United Houma Nation and
291
the Morganza to the Gulf Hurricane Levee Protection System to protect our people and Ministries along the Gulf Coast. As Native American United Methodists, we would like to ask that if there are issues that involve Native Americans or Native American culture and traditions, that LACONAM be consulted to clarify or explain our Native American United Methodist perspectives on culture, traditions, and other Native concerns.
Respectfully submitted,
Kirby Verret, Chair LACONAM Louisiana Annual Conference Native American Ministries
LOUISIANA VOLUNTEERS IN MISSION (LAVIM)
In July 2013, Louisiana Volunteers in Mission (LAVIM) transitioned from a staffed Conference office to a volunteer organization managed by a leadership team. This team is comprised of clergy and laity representing various areas of mission and administration. Brenda Coppit continues as the Conference office assistant and resource contact, albeit in a part-time capacity. In its new structure, LAVIM is not fully planning and coordinating mission journeys, but our purpose remains “to share the love of God in ways that make a Christian difference.” To this end, we will train and equip missioners through team leader training and by providing recruitment assistance, contacts for insurance and travel arrangements, suggested paperwork, and connections to domestic and international projects. These and other resources are available on the revamped website, www.la-umc.org/pages/detail/1572. In addition to the website, activities are promoted through an e-blast database and a new Facebook page.
In 2013, at least 23 international and 2 domestic teams from Louisiana served in the mission field, including journeys to the Bahamas, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Mexico, Panama, Russia, Alaska, and Arkansas. The teams joined with locals in construction, medical, and educational projects.
Improved recordkeeping and communication will be a major focus for the Leadership VIM Team in the coming year. We are developing ways for teams to register with LAVIM that will facilitate churches sharing their mission plans with the Conference. Not only will this ease logistics in case of emergencies, but also will expand the good news of where and what our members are doing and encourage others to participate. Furthering this goal is a plan to create a Speakers Bureau of experienced missioners willing to share their stories with others. Another potential resource will be an application process for mission grants to help fund projects.
Although there are no action items requiring a Conference vote, LAVIM encourages pastors and parishioners to share their mission opportunities and stories and to partake of our resources.
Respectfully submitted, Diane Reich LAVIM Coordinator
AFRICA UNIVERSITY REPORT - 2014 The Louisiana Conference is a faithful and immensely generous friend to Africa University. As a community— students, faculty, staff and trustees, we thank you and celebrate your commitment to this visionary, connectional effort of the United Methodist Church. Your leadership helped overall giving to the AUF to reach 91.7% last year, the highest level of any of the general church funds. In 2013, 25 annual conferences invested in the AUF at 100% or higher. Africa University is grateful to the local congregations of the Louisiana Conference for investing 98.72% of their asking in the Africa University Fund (AUF) apportionment in 2013! However, as a consequence of missing its goal of a 100% investment in the AUF for the first time in many years, the Louisiana Conference had a shortfall of $423.32. Africa University’s ministry, which emphasizes impactful witness and service, continues to be shaped and sustained by the generosity and prayers of the members of the Louisiana Conference. Thank you for your gifts to the AUF. They are vital and life-changing.
292
2013 Highlights: Enrollment: Sustained by the steadfast investment of Annual Conferences of The United Methodist Church, 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. In recognition of the particular challenges African women face in accessing higher education, Africa University launched the Girl Child Scholarship Fund. 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.
Thank you, Louisiana, for helping to shape Africa University as a place where young people discern their call and gifts, and become effective global leaders! We pray that in 2014, you will return your investment in the AUF to the level of 100% of the asking or higher. This 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. Please help the impact of Africa University’s ministry to grow by: Encouraging your church to invest 100% of its asking in the Africa University Fund in 2014. Talking to your congregation about a second-mile gift to support one student each year. Contributing to endowed scholarships which can support students in perpetuity. Taking 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. Including Africa University in your will when you make your estate plans. Praying 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.
Together, we are changing Africa: Learning here. Living here. Leading here. Serving God. All the time. Everywhere. Submitted by: Mr. James H.

Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulfill our mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church's ministries in the world depends upon your support, gifts, and prayers. Thank you for the countless ways you advance this vital ministry in the life of our denomination.

Christian Leadership Center
For 2013-14, the 52 students enrolled in the CLC studied the purpose, role, and experiences of Spiritual Disciplines. In the fall semester, they explored the purpose of spiritual disciplines as developing vulnerability with God and one another and the cycle of experience, listening, reflection, and submission. In the spring semester they explored their own personalities and reflected on hands-on dedication to a particular set of disciplines. This May, eight CLC students graduated from Centenary, seven of whom received the CLC endorsement. Two of these eight are enrolling in seminaries this fall.
The CLC hosted its eighth annual fundraising dinner featuring renowned author, Phyllis Tickle and honoring Grace Community Associate Pastor Reverend Betsy Eaves with the Christian Leadership Award. Earlier in the fall, CLC and the Department of Religious Studies launched a Religion Matters series and a community education seminar on the life and legacy of C.S. Lewis.
Globally Engaged Leaders
Taking seriously their commitment to service, Centenary students have spent the year performing service work throughout the community.
Over 200 Centenary community members worked together in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, performing yard work and small tasks around the Highland community to help their neighbors.
A group of students initiated an Oxfam Hunger Banquet in an effort to bring attention to global inequalities tied to poverty, hunger, and injustice.
Centenary students also wrote over 260 cards to donors thanking them for not only their donations but also their faith in the College and its students in celebration of Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day.
296
Centenary continued its participation in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program. This provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 pays up to the national maximum toward Centenary’s tuition. Centenary then contributes up to 50 percent of the remaining tuition expense, and the Department of Veteran Affairs matches that amount.
Centenary College announced that students entering in fall 2014 will begin their college experience with immersive study in Paris, France. Centenary joins a very small number of colleges and universities across the nation that offer a shared international study experience to first-year students. The initiative is called Centenary in Paris and is part of the College’s new August immersive segment of the fall semester. The first course new Centenary students take will begin and end on campus and include 8-10 days in Paris.
Centenary had a great first year of the World House and the Centenary Leadership programs. Centenary Leadership is a nationally acclaimed student development model that helps every student develop leadership skills in tandem with his or her academic experiences in the classroom. World Houses are common residences with a common purpose – a place where students can explore through service and leadership one of the world’s greatest needs. In August, World House students joined three Shreveport-area community organizations for a day of service before their classes began. The Houses have also welcomed world-renowned speakers: Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jodi Williams, Reverend Mande Muyombo, and CNN Hero Chad Pregracke. These initiatives position Centenary graduates for success and position the College as a leader in church-related liberal arts education for the 21st century.
Recognition
Centenary’s accomplishments continue to be recognized by the media in multiple national rankings. For the third year in a row, U.S. News & World Report named Centenary a Tier One National Liberal Arts College. Kiplinger's Personal Finance recognized Centenary on its list of the country's best values in private colleges, representing colleges that provide high-quality academics at a reasonable cost during continued tough economic times. The College has also been recognized along with Harvard, Yale, Amherst, and other top institutions in the top ten in Kiplinger’s Best Values in Private Colleges Under $20K for 2014. Centenary moved up in Washington Monthly’s ranking of colleges that serve a variety of public interests and “provide a great college experience at the same time.” Forbes gave Centenary an “A” grade for financial fitness in its annual ranking of “America’s Top Colleges.” Centenary is among the top 13 percent of institutions in the nation and the only school in Louisiana to receive an "A." In spring 2013, Centenary was named for the sixth year in a row to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which recognizes the nation's leading higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities.
Religious Life
Centenary is grateful for the Board of Higher Education and Ministry’s support for religious life on campus. The conference grant provides support for alternative break missions. In 2013-14, it helped send students to the Bahamas Methodist Habitat mission on the island of Eleuthera and to Moore, Oklahoma. On campus programs include a weekly student-led worship service known as Stepping Stones, the United Methodist Student Movement, Men’s discussion group, and the Lighthouse, which is open on weekends to provide a supportive and wholesome social environment for students. In addition, Centenary students have the opportunity to engage religious life programming through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Canterbury House, Baptist Collegiate Ministry, and the Catholic Student Organization.
Centenary also continues to celebrate the clergy families of the Louisiana United Methodist Conference who have entrusted the College with the education of their students. We are proud to count among our students a number of clergy dependents. Clergy dependents are eligible for up to $5,000 in annual Methodist grant funds.
VISION AND GOALS
1. Defining church-related liberal arts education for the 21st century. 2. Strengthening our connection with the Louisiana United Methodist Conference through increased communication and service.
297
CONCERNS AND CHALLENGES
A continuing challenge for the College is to find meaningful and effective ways to connect with United Methodist students and bring them into the Centenary family. We believe that the education and experience offered by the College strengthens a young person’s commitment to Methodism, which in turn ultimately benefits the Louisiana United Methodist Conference. We continue to seek partnerships to bring more of Louisiana’s Methodist youth to Centenary to pursue their undergraduate education and ensure that those students are supported emotionally, academically, and financially in those endeavors.
ITEMS FOR ACTION
1. We request the Louisiana United Methodist Conference’s endorsement of the listed membership of the Centenary College Board of Trustees. 2. We appreciate the Louisiana United Methodist Conference’s financial support through apportionments and scholarships. This generosity affirms the churches’ dedication to higher education and to Centenary College of Louisiana.
DILLARD UNIVERSITY 2013 Highlights Dillard Academic Programs earn local and national recognition Last year, the Dillard theater department, now in its 79th season and the oldest HBCU theater program in the country, won the Big Easy Award for “Best University Theater Production” for its production of the August Wilson play Two Trains Running. The theater has again been nominated for the 2014 Big Easy Award for Best University Theater Production for its 2013 production of Dreams Girls. In addition to its regular season, the play was performed as a one- night only pre-commencement scholarship fundraiser with a special guest appearance by Grammy® award winner Jennifer Holiday. The performance took place in Lawless Memorial Chapel to a standing-room only crowd. In their April 2013 report, the National Science Foundation ranked Dillard among the top 50 producers of African Americans who earn doctorates in the sciences from 2002-2011, and #21 among all HBCUs. Those rankings move up to 46 and 11 respectively, when calculated based on doctorates per 100 graduates. The American Institute of Physics (AIP) in their 2012 publication released survey results that rank Dillard’s physics department as No. 2 in the country in granting bachelor’s degrees to African Americans for classes 2008 through 2010. Academic programs in other areas are also growing. Dillard is rapidly becoming an integral part of Hollywood South. Recently, Louisiana was named as the number one, beating out California and New York, as a location for shooting box office films. Dillard is taking advantage of that and students are engaging in workshops with professional filmmakers and producers including Spike Lee, who hired Dillard students to work on the set of Oldboy. Some of the scenes were filmed on campus. The university recently added Film as a major in the School of Humanities. Rankings: Among top 10 HBCUs by U.S. News & World Report Made the list of Forbes’ 2013 Top Colleges and Universities in the U.S.; one of only nine schools in Louisiana to make the list; Top 60 Liberal Arts Institutions in the entire country by Washington Monthly (2013) Listed as one of the most affordable private 4-year colleges by Affordable Colleges (AC) Online; AC Online; also named Dillard as one of the 2013 top colleges with high Return on Investment (ROI);
Students exemplify the value of a Dillard education We have students who are doing amazing things and demonstrate the value of their Dillard education. Students like Calvinesha Weaver, junior biology major, who completed Phase I of an internship in Peru during the winter break in a Tropical Pathology and Infectious Disease Association Medical Internship Program (TPaIDA). Calvinesha will return to Peru in May for the second phase of the program. Calvinesha’s faculty mentor is Dr. Eric Buckles, associate professor and coordinator of biology. Another student, Nicole Tinson, senior political science major, was recently named by the White House as a 2014 HBCU All-Star. Nicole credits much of her success to faculty mentors Dr. Nchor
298
B. Okorn, professor of political science and Dr. Gary M. Clark, associate professor and program coordinator of political science. Graduating senior Takunda Jora, after spending 11 weeks as an intern at Google’s headquarters last summer, has been offered a full-time job upon graduation from Dillard. Takunda is mentored by Dr. Lynda Louis, assistant professor and coordinator of computer science. These students are great examples of what a Dillard education can do. Historic Residence Halls Opened in Fall 2013 The restoration of three residence halls that have been offline for the past seven years has been completed. Straight, Camphor and Hartzell Halls opened in the Fall 2013. The three residences allow the university to house an additional 325 students on campus. Built in the1930s and 1940s, the buildings, which are on the National Registry of Historic Places, have been fully renovated inside with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi rooms; motion-sensor lighting, security cameras, and elevators. Building Facts: Straight – built in 1934, named after Seymour Straight in 1935; serves as a male residence hall; Hartzell – built in 1934, named in honor of Joseph C. Hartzell, missionary bishop in the Methodist Church of Africa; serves as a female residence hall for juniors; and Camphor – built in 1947, named in honor of Alexander Camphor, college president and missionary; serves as a female residence hall for freshmen and sophomores. Campus Drainage Project Underway Funded through a competitive priority process, the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparation (GOHSEP) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Dillard has begun the implementation of a $6.5M Drainage Mitigation Project. The project, which is currently in early phases, is designed to significantly improve the campus drainage and infrastructure over the next 18 months. “Bleu Pride Rising Tour” Efforts to engage alumni have been a priority. We began a “Blue Pride Rising” Tour in 2013 in which I traveled to more than 17 cities across the country, from California to Georgia to New York and met with hundreds of motivated alumni. As a result, we have seen an increase in alumni giving and participation in university events. The tour will continue in 2014. Brain Food: Presidential Lecture Series Launched Dillard has a long history of lecture series that go back to the 1950s. So, this year we brought back this tradition with the launching of Brain Food: The Dillard University’s President’s Lecture Series. The series kicked-off April 18, 2013 with Michael Eric Dyson, professor of sociology at Georgetown University, author of 16 books, and passionate commentator on social issues. Dyson spoke to an audience of nearly 800. Other speakers included Dr. Clarence B. Jones, speechwriter for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1960-68 and author, “Behind the Dream: The Making of the Speech that Transformed a Nation;” Rev. Jim Wallis, New York Times bestselling author, public theologian, international commentator on ethics and public life; Dr. Sampson Davis, emergency room physician, motivator, and author of “Living and Dying in Brick City: An ER Doctor Returns Home; leading gospel artist Kirk Franklin; and Joyce Roche’, former CEO of Girls Inc., alumna and chair of Dillard’s Board, and author of “The Empress Has No Clothes: Conquering Self-Doubt to Embrace Success” (2013). Community is drawn to Dillard in record numbers for other public lectures
Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness”, spoke to a standing room only audience during the Ortique Lecture on Law and Society in Georges Auditorium. During the 2013 Martin Luther King, Jr. Week, the New Orleans community again showed up in droves to hear Cornel West and Tavis Smiley, authors of “The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto”, give their “Poverty Manifesto” Lecture in Lawless Chapel.
Post-Katrina loan restructuring saves millions of dollars One of the major steps in strengthening the university’s financial position was the restructuring of the HBCU Capital Finance Agreement which Dillard and three other institutions entered into after Hurricane Katrina for rebuilding and recovery. The effort to restructure the loan agreements was led in Congress by U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. For Dillard, the revised agreement will save the university an estimated $110 million over the next 25 years. That’s huge! SAFE scholarship established to provide emergency aid for students When Dr. Kimbrough was inaugurated on October 19, 2013, the university launched a special scholarship fund, the Walter M. Kimbrough Student Aid for Financial Emergencies or (SAFE) Fund to assist students who incur financial hardships that are unable to be met through traditional financial aid. Our research clearly indicates that the number one reason we lose students is financial need. Dillard alumni and trustees step up to be first in giving this critical fund momentum. A huge thank you goes to Cynthia Butler-McIntyre, ‘76, and the National Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for providing $50,000. She started a challenge among the other Greek organizations and my father, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, raised the challenge to
299
$75,000. Shortly thereafter, the fund grew to nearly $150,000 including contributions from alumni, faculty, staff, and friends. Trustee Emeritus David Dillard offered a challenge to the Board of Trustees. He would provide $100,000 if all of the other Trustees contributed that much collectively. Every Trustee immediately responded, resulting in over $200,000, most of which went to the SAFE Fund. As a result, we have been able to provide critically needed assistance to 70 students thus far. Some students needed as little as $100; while for others the need was as much as $5,000. Although this is a good start, we still have much to do. Dillard garners funding for research and training Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD)/Polymers Dr. Abdalla Darwish, interim associate vice president for academic affairs and professor of Physics, over the past couple of years has secured about $1.75M from the U.S. Department of Defense for PLD and laser ablation research and the development of new technologies. As a result, Dillard and Dr. Darwish currently have a patent pending, with two others planned for later this year or early 2015 related to this technology. This research has also helped Dillard maintain a top 20 ranking nationally in Physics.
Clinical Research Associates / Health Disparities Research
Dr. Charlotte Hurst, associate professor of nursing, through her work with the Dillard-LSUHSC Minority Health Disparities Research Center implemented a successful model to train nurses as Clinical Research Associates (CRA) which also address a major on-going challenge in healthcare- effectively increasing the number of minorities participating in clinical trials. Dr. Hurst was recently awarded a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to further her research along with Dr. Michael Hagensee at LSUHSC on “Education of Health Disparate Woman about Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Cervical Cancer and Preventative Vaccines”. National Science Foundation Research and Training Dr. Amy Lesen, associate professor of biology, received funding for two National Science Foundation grants recently. Dr. Lesen’s work involves research and training for Native American communities along the Louisiana coast, most of whom were impacted by hurricanes and the 2010 oil spill. Dr. Lesen’s work allows for participation by community members in the conducting and translation of research regarding their communities. This project will continue through 2016.

2013-2014 Academic Year Report Gammon Theological Seminary, located in Atlanta, GA, is the United Methodist constituent member of the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC), a consortium of six historically African American theological schools. Gammon/ITC is a co-educational, professional graduate school of theology. Its faculty personifies vigorous scholarship, rigorous academic discipline, and significant research in the service of the church and other communities in the world. Gammon/ITC is the world’s premier resource for black church scholarship and faith-based solutions to the spiritual and socio-economic challenges confronting the African American community and beyond.
Founded in 1883 by the Methodist Episcopal Church and with assistance from the Freedman’s Aid Society, today Gammon Theological Seminary is one of the 13 theological schools of the United Methodist Church. The
300
faculty and administration of Gammon/ITC create an environment in which critical thinking, investigative reflection, decision making, and responsible action are fostered. Gammon/ITC is a member of the Atlanta University Center Complex, the world’s largest enterprise of African American higher education. It is also a member of The University Center of Georgia and the Atlanta Theological Association. The school is fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Gammon/ITC offers the following degree programs: the Master of Divinity, the Master of Arts in Religious Education, the Master of Arts in Church Music, the Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) in Pastoral Counseling, and the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.). There are also a number of dual degree programs offered in cooperation with seminaries and schools in the Atlanta Theological Association. Admission is open to qualified men and women of the United Methodist Church.
Because of the support of this Annual Conference, Gammon/ITC students carry on a proud tradition. They are taught to think independently and communicate effectively. They are also challenged to become involved in finding solutions to problems that affect the human condition, and to become active in the community beyond this campus. Additionally, graduates of this institution are encouraged to maintain a lifelong desire for intellectual growth, spiritual development, and the acquisition of skills for the practice of ministry.
Gammon/ITC has had a very exciting and busy year living out its mission, which is to recruit, support and educate pastors and leaders for the United Methodist Church. Included below are just a few of the examples of how this great historic institution of the church has lived out its mission and furthered its vision:
1) In previous reports to this Annual Conference, we shared the great news of Gammon enrolling some of its largest entering classes on record. Gammon continues to shatter previously set enrollment records as it welcomes new cohorts of called and principled young leaders who are excited about the claim of God upon their lives. Under the current President-Dean (Dr. Albert D. Mosley), the institution has developed and implemented an Enrollment Enhancement and Retention Plan that has led to an increase in enrollment by over 50%, and an increase in the retention rate from a decade-long low of 60% to 85%.
2) In October of 2013, Gammon held its second annual Trailblazers Justice Conference, in conjunction with the institution’s 130th Founders’ Day Celebration. Former United States Ambassador & Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Andrew Young delivered the keynote address to a standing-room only crowd in attendance at this phenomenal event. Ambassador Young reflected upon the church’s role in encouraging and pushing him to become involved in the civil rights movement. Additionally, he implored the audience to continue their work towards justice and equality for all of God’s children. As the “school of the prophets,” Gammon has a unique and rich history of involvement in many civil and social rights issues, including serving as the founding place for the Atlanta Student Movement (an entity that would later become the core of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee – SNCC).
3) “Voices of Prophets: Speaking to Public Policy, Ethics, and Justice” was the theme of the institution’s 130th Founders’ Day Celebration. A panel featuring several area judges and elected officials delved into an intense conversation about the mass incarceration of young African American men, and the impact this mass incarceration has upon the black community. This panel event, which also took place before a standing-room only audience, explored the black church’s historic role as social agitator and advocate for justice, and offered suggestions for how the black church can continue to honor its historic legacy of justice. This particular event, as well as most of the other public events sponsored by Gammon during the past academic year, was aimed at equipping our students to become public theologians who are fully capable of addressing modern day issues that impact the black church and beyond.
Gammon Theological Seminary is extremely grateful to this Annual Conference for your support of theological education, and for your commitment to ensuring that God’s church will be served by persons who are called and trained to lead us forward.

GARRETT-EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
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. Currently, 5 students from the Louisiana Annual Conference are enrolled in the various degree programs at the seminary.
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.
Ruth Duck, professor of Christian worship, retired in December. A world-renowned hymnist, her most recent book, Worship for the Whole People of God: Vital Worship for the 21st Century, was published in October 2013.
Several initiatives to support clergy and lay education are under way. During the spring semester, fifteen academic classes were offered in an online format, some with a continuing education option. Among the options are:
Plus, a first-of-its-kind cooperative executive education program of Garrett-Evangelical and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, involving two-years of seminars led by experts in non-profit and church leadership for professionals in ministry; Intersection, an online continuing education opportunity, incorporating readings, online presentations by seminary faculty, and reflection on contemporary issues of life and ministry. Topics range from theology, biblical interpretation, and church history to ethics and the church in society. Continuing education credit is available. Additional information is available at http://www.garrett.edu/intersection. A Doctor of Ministry program offering five tracks of study: Congregational Leadership; African American Congregational Leadership; Spiritual Direction; and Mission in the Contemporary United States; and the Association of Chicago Theological School’s (ACTS) D.Min. program in preaching.
In the coming months, Garrett-Evangelical will roll out new programs online, in Evanston, in congregational settings, and on the campuses of select United Methodist-related colleges.
302
Garrett-Evangelical serves over 550 students in degree-related courses, certificate programs and the summer Course of Study School.
We encourage you to visit our website, www.garrett.edu, and to visit us on campus. We are grateful to serve The United Methodist Church and the church at large.
On January 1, 2014, I became president of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the seminary and the church in this capacity. Garrett-Evangelical is blessed with a great heritage and a strong future. Please let us know if there are ways we can work with you as we continue to seek to be a seminary for the church and the world. Thank you for your prayers and support.

SAINT PAUL SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
Saint Paul School of Theology is a seminary of The United Methodist Church that educates leaders to make disciples for Jesus Christ, renew the Church, and transform the world. We are one institution with two campuses, in Oklahoma City and the Greater Kansas City area.
304
During the 2013-2014 academic year, 201 students from 23 annual conferences and 4 countries were enrolled in degree programs at Saint Paul School of Theology on both campuses. The Course of Study School at Saint Paul served 216 students the Overland Park, Kansas, Springfield, Missouri, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma locations.
Twenty master’s degree students and twenty-three doctoral students graduated from the Kansas City campus in May 2013. Six master of divinity students graduated at the 3rd Commencement Convocation in Oklahoma in August 2013. Laity from the Seminary Lite program in Oklahoma also received certificates.
Saint Paul at Oklahoma City University (OCU) began its 6th year in September. Dr. Amy Oden came to the Oklahoma City campus as Professor of Early Church History and Spirituality. The Association of Theological Schools authorized the campus to offer all courses leading to the Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, Master of Arts (Theological Studies), and Doctor of Ministry Degrees. They also lifted the residency requirement to complete one- third of the courses on the Kansas City campus. This is a major step in the development of Saint Paul at OCU. The success of Saint Paul in Oklahoma City has been a collaborative effort, strengthened by the support of the Oklahoma Conference of The United Methodist Church and United Methodist-related Oklahoma City University.
The seminary sold its Truman Road campus in Kansas City, Missouri to Guadalupe Centers, Inc. Guadalupe Centers, Inc. is the longest continuously operating organization serving Latinos in the United States. They provide early childhood, secondary, preparatory and adult educational programs; facilitate access to health and social services for all ages; promote and provide Latino cultural enrichment events; and sponsor social activities for diverse communities.
Students and faculty began classes on the Greater Kansas City (GKC) campus located in the East Wing of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, Leawood, Kansas, in September. Classes continue to be video-linked with the Oklahoma City campus. The seminary’s staff and faculty offices are located under a mile away from the classroom location.
Saint Paul will launch three new masters' curricula in the fall of 2014. For the MDiv students, the new curriculum marks a return to a more praxis-based, integrated curriculum. The curriculum is grounded in spiritual formation with numerous practicums and faculty-led small groups to integrate seminary studies with vocational formation. Students will reflect upon their work during two intentional assessments mid-way through the degree and near the end of their studies.
The degree programs will require fewer hours which will mean less debt for Saint Paul graduates. The MDiv will require 79 credit hours for the degree rather than the 90 credit hours now required. The Masters of Arts in Christian Ministry and Masters of Arts (Theological Studies) will also be completed in fewer hours--54 credit hours for the MACM vs. 60 now and 49 for the MA(TS) vs. 60 now.
The trustees, faculty, staff, and students of Saint Paul thank you for your interest, prayers and support.

Lydia Patterson Institute opened its doors for the first time to the school year 1913-14, making 2013-14, the 100th session. We celebrate the time passed, and with it we celebrate the thousands of young men and women that have walked our halls. We celebrate the hundreds of young men who began their journey in ministry here and have dedicated their lives to the church. We celebrate the teachers, nurses, engineers, doctors and lawyers and many other professionals whose seeds were planted here. Most importantly, we celebrate Mrs. Lydia Patterson. Unfortunately, Mrs. Patterson lived a rather short life. In that life, she accepted her calling to ministry with the children of South El Paso, and her legacy lives on. Her love and inspiration for the welfare of those in need has lived for 100 years. This is made evident today in the number of teachers, staff members, and administrators who have dedicated their lives to changing those of the students. The incredible dedication of the staff is manifested in their years of service; 12 over 10 years; 5 over 20 years; 6 over 30 years; and Miss Cristina Woo who has served for 42 years. Mrs. Patterson did not know at the time, but her calling made for the calling of thousands of others who followed. She placed the first stone and, in the last one hundred years, a temple was built. In this temple, thousands have worshiped, thousands have been educated, and thousands have made a better life.
Today, the Student Lay Ministry Program is placing interns throughout the country. Some are in seminary and others are already leading churches. Ninety-seven percent of graduates are going to college. The 2013 graduating class received $1.6 million in scholarships from United Methodist colleges and universities alone. Every student, past and present, begins to change his or her life the moment they step inside the walls of this temple. The spiritual temple at Lydia Patterson remains intact, but the physical buildings have worn and tired. In preparation for the next 100 years, a capital campaign for renovation and a strategic plan for the latest state of the art technology in the classroom, labs, media and research and spiritual development centers is in place. The new chapel will provide the place where all the students, faculty and staff can worship together, and as a multi-purpose facility, will be shared with our community.
306
The cities of El Paso and Juarez have joined us in this venture, and have committed to a large portion of this capital campaign. The board of trustees, faculty, and staff has pledged 100%, and the students and alumni are equally dedicated to the success of this campaign. Lastly, we celebrate those who have made and continue to make this ministry, our friends and supporters. They are the foundation of our work. They are our leaders, mentors and inspiration. We have seen their commitment once more as we prepare for the next 100 years. We wish to thank those who have already stepped up and joined us by giving or pledging to the capital campaign. With the love of God, the love and prayers of those in ministry with us, and in memory of Mrs. Lydia Patterson, we will reach our goal and be prepared to carry her legacy for another 100 years.

LOUISIANA UNITED METHODIST CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
“Why” we do what we do has propelled us through 128 years of history. “What” we do varies with the changing needs of children and families. What we do at any point in time is important and, today, we do a lot. In every issue of Pathways, our quarterly newsletter, you read about “what” we do for children and families. You read about the extras we provide that no other agency provides.
From the living room of a missionary’s home in New Orleans in 1886 and a white framed house in Bunkie in 1902, our “what” has certainly changed through the years! However, our “why”, our mission, our reason for being, remains the same: we guide children and families home to experience God’s love by following the teachings of Christ.
In 2013, we provided residential care for 247 children, providing the most intensive and comprehensive treatment available in Louisiana in our three United Methodist children’s homes. 175 boys and girls received care at Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home in Ruston, we cared for 34 boys and girls at Methodist Children’s Home of Greater New Orleans, and we cared for 38 boys at Methodist Children’s Home of Southwest Louisiana in Sulphur. These are children whose significant treatment needs could not be met elsewhere in Louisiana – not in less therapeutic group homes or in foster care.
In addition to the three United Methodist children’s homes, other services we provide in communities across Louisiana include the Family Counseling Center in Ruston; MultiSystemic Therapy programs in Monroe, Shreveport and Lake Charles; the Outdoor Wilderness Learning Center; Howard School (the only alternative school in Lincoln Parish and located on the grounds of Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home); the Allen Career Center (a vocational education center where our children in Ruston receive training and certificates in barbering, welding and construction); Family Plus Counseling Centers in Monroe, Shreveport, Pineville, and Natchitoches; and the Life Skills Training Program in north Louisiana for adolescents in foster care who are transitioning to independence.
It is only with the charitable support of people like you and congregations like yours – those who believe in our mission – that we can provide the comprehensive care required to address the full spectrum of personal need. With your support we are able to pursue new treatment efforts like our special unit for young boys at Methodist Children’s Home of Greater New Orleans. These 7 to 10 year old boys require the most intensive out-of-home care available in Louisiana. We provide it.
With your support we will expand our Family Plus program in partnership with local United Methodist congregations in communities across the state who are interested in offering space (a part-time counseling room) for one of our therapists to provide counseling services. With more than 500 congregations in Louisiana, we see 500 potential Family Plus ministry sites! We focus first on New Orleans and the northshore of Ponchartrain.
Construction projects completed this year include a Pavilion over the basketball court at Methodist Children’s Home of Southwest Louisiana and the WildHorse Arena at the OWL Center in Dubach. Both of these will significantly enhance the services we provide. Currently under construction is a brick and metal fence along the western edge of
307
our large play field in Ruston. Highway 167 is a busy four-lane roadway with a center turn lane that runs beside our property. We are constructing this fence along the highway as a safety precaution. We also believe it will enhance the southern entrance into Ruston.
We focus daily on Staff Development and Leadership Development. We work constantly to perfect our skills, broaden our perspective, increase our knowledge and learn from our experiences because we are committed to pursuing our mission well. Given the continuous shifts occurring in Louisiana’s child and family welfare system, it is imperative that we maintain our organizational health, that we plan and act proactively to the increasingly frequent changes in Louisiana, and that pursuit of our mission remains central to all we do.
I am very excited to report we are working to launch the Center for Congregational Family Ministry in 2014. Throughout our history we have been supported with the financial generosity of Methodists. We are also the beneficiaries of volunteers who spend time in and with our programs. Another key support is the mass of daily prayers offered on our behalf throughout the Conference.
Our gratitude for the many ways we have been blessed leads us to consider how we can “give back”, completing the circle of stewardship. We believe we may be of service to the Conference by sharing our expertise in encouraging families toward healthy relationships. We wish to offer our expertise to the Conference clergy and laity in the following ways:
1. Serve as a clearinghouse for programs that are available for community ministry. We wish to utilize our resources to research what is already happening in congregations, plus seek out programs elsewhere that have proven effective. Our work will help identify the equivalent of “best practices” in family outreach ministries. 2. Be available to consult when churches are deciding upon which programs to invest their time and money. We may be able to offer insight and questions to guide logistical considerations for developing a new child or family ministry. 3. Allow our staff to share information and expertise through seminars and speaking engagements with specific topics.
Finally, in addition to continuing the services we provide and creating a Center for Congregational Family Ministry, Louisiana United Methodist Children and Family Services has three primary strategic goals for the coming year: 1) continue perfecting our residential services in Ruston, Mandeville and Sulphur, 2) expanding Family Plus into the New Orleans district and 3) creating a permanent home for Methodist Children’s Home of Greater New Orleans in the New Orleans district.
Thank you, Louisiana Conference, for your persistent support. Thank you for loving the Home in all its manifestations. Thank you for loving Louisiana’s most desperate children and families!

MACDONELL UNITED METHODIST CHILDREN’S SERVICE, INC.
PURPOSE: It is the purpose of MacDonell United Methodist Children’s Services, Inc. to provide and maintain a benevolent, charitable, non-profit organization for the care, therapeutic treatment and welfare of youth without regard to sex, race, color, creed, national origin or handicapping condition that can be addressed within the scope of the program service and financial resources of the Agency.
MISSION: The mission of MacDonell United Methodist Children’s Services is to provide a safe haven of youth and young adults, which includes clinical and spiritual care for those who need the healing ministries offered by our agency.
308
A. Accomplishments and celebration of work completed On July 1, 2012, MacDonell became a Non-Medical Group Home with twelve (12) male beds. We served 31 youth and had a total of 3,480 days of care in 2013. Youth in care at the beginning of the year was nine (9) and the number of youth in care at the end of the year was eleven (11). Due to the change to a non-medical group home the residents now receive therapy off campus. We continued fundraising and sent out appeals for Easter, summer, Back-to-School, and Christmas. Our annual fundraiser Celebrate the Child was held in November 2013. The Board has been redeveloped and is much more active.
B. Goals that are a priority for the upcoming year Development of a strategic marketing plan. Development of a strategic plan for the Agency. Continuation of financial solvency. Increase community giving; pursue options for additional fundraisers. Evaluation and planning for the effective and efficient use of buildings.
C. Concerns and challenges facing board or agency The primary challenge that will face both the Board and the Agency this year is will be the ability to adjust to the ever-changing needs and requirements of the State. As the State moves to a Coordinated System of Care (CSoC), the Agency will have to make decisions about how large or small we will be and whether or not we will be able to make the necessary adjustments to become a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF), a Therapeutic Group Home (TGH), or offer outpatient therapy services.
D. Items for action/vote by the Annual Conference Continued prayers and donations through the Churches of the Conference are appreciated.
METHODIST HEALTH SYSTEM FOUNDATION, INC
As a not for profit, faith-based organization, Methodist Health System Foundation, Inc. is committed to improving the quality of lives through prevention, education, and supportive partnerships. There may be health challenges looming on the horizon; however, this has not stifled our desire to support the ever-increasing need for programs and services for the East New Orleans communities and beyond.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, we are pleased to report to have expended a total of $2,382,097 toward meeting the needs of our mission zone. We are very excited about the year ahead and are looking forward to assisting the organizations who are “making a difference” in health care services to the community.
Without the support of our generous, volunteer Board, committed Administration and Grantee Partnerships we could not have accomplished what we do so well; bridge the gap between healthcare and people in need, in the communities we serve. We are ever grateful for their tireless support and encouragement. We are strengthened by your continued prayers of support and inspired by our faith to be of service to others.
Respectfully submitted,
Mr. Frederick C. Young, Jr President
DULAC COMMUNITY CENTER
Our mission is to provide social services, emergency response and learning opportunities to people in lower Terrebonne parish with emphasis on women, children and Native Americans in response to the Gospel. We are a
309
National Mission Institution of the United Methodist Women, National Office of the United Methodist Church, located in Dulac, Louisiana.
The Center today continues to find ways to meet the physical, social, economic, and emotional needs of the community in fostering programs and services that are responsive to the needs of the people we serve. We have many partners that assist us in carrying out our mission. Some of our current programs are: GED Classes, Tutoring Classes, Computer Lab, After-school Recreation, Volunteers-In-Mission, Housing Rehabilitation Program, Thrift Store, Community Events and Dinners, Food Bank and Food Distributions, Vacation Bible School, Bayou Eagles Native American Culture and Dancing, Disaster Relief Services, Acupuncture, Community Service Worksite, Community Gardening and Community Health Fairs. Our newest program we have introduced is our Health and Wellness Initiative.
Program Highlights: Assisted 70 homeowners with housing rehabilitation/ repair and hosted 268 short and long-term volunteers that contributed 10,366 volunteer hours to housing rehabilitation/ repair projects with a value of $200,375 of volunteer labor. Assisted over 950 individuals with clothing assistance and household items with our thrift store and provided food provisions to 1,478 families from our food bank and food distribution programs. Improved quality of life, produced nutritious food, reduced family budgets, and created opportunity for 10 families through our “edible” community garden.
Strategic Goals that are a priority for the upcoming year include: Attract more community volunteer participation and ownership in the center. Evaluate and offer programs that are responsive to the needs of the community. Develop board and staff leadership and development. Identify and pursue both resources and funding for continuity and sustainability of the center.
Concerns and challenges facing our agency include: Lower level facilities prone to flooding/ repetitive loss. Increasing financial pressure, sustainability, fundraising/ raising funds. Human resources/ staffing, and attracting and motivating people given the often limited resources. Increase concerns about efficacy.
Identified gaps, challenges, and barriers facing our community: Food Security, Housing, and Health & Wellness Access and availability of food is of relatively low nutritional value. Normal diet consisting of fresh produce and seafood have been changed (seafood tainted from oil- spill)(community grocer closed after storms of 2005 and family gardening has decreased from threat of salt- water flooding, nearest grocer 17 miles)(traditional community whose members survive on sustenance fishing and hunting) Many families lack monies/ resources to fully recover from past storm events and to preserve their homes and make safe for their families. Many families lack knowledge on self-management and nutrition. Access to health and wellness activities is very limited to non-existent for community members. 22% self-reported of having diabetes among local American Indian population. 38.9 reported obesity rate for the community.

UNITED METHODIST HOPE MINISTRIES
MISSION Prevent Homelessness. Promote Self-Sufficiency and Dignity.
2013 Accomplishments and Celebrations:
Client Successes
LC is an 18 year old Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination (BRAVE) program client in HOPE’s Family Mentoring Program. He accepted the BRAVE invitation in April 2013 but soon became resistant to what was being offered him and could not be easily located. He has severe but treatable mental health diagnoses, and his resistance, although most likely partially a product of his illness will not be an excuse when before the sentencing judge. He also has an infant daughter. Unlike many of our clients, the consequence for noncompliance for him is a life behind bars because he has an adult charge. Upon seeing him miss many scheduled sessions, HOPE changed our approach from formal sessions to just stopping by his house several days a week to build trust and get to know him. Still he did not respond and was determined to be non- compliant with the BRAVE program. HOPE really stepped up efforts from several times a week to daily going to his house and leaving phone messages for him. One day around Christmas time, he just showed up at HOPE. When asked what had changed his mind, he said that he knew we (HOPE) had kept coming buy and didn’t give up on him. Today he has his first job at McDonalds and is resuming his studies to take the GED exam.
Family Mentoring Program: This in-depth case management program matches a family at-risk for homelessness with a Family Service Specialist and mentors who help guide the family on its path to self-sufficiency. 118 participates assessed in both Family Mentoring and HOPE Works (2013 YE 28 served) 2013 YE: . 79% have sufficient income to pay their own rent. UP from 64% YE 2012 . 54% have job stability of 6+ mos. UP from 47% YE 2012 . 50% have job stability of 12+ mos. UP from too negligible to report YE 2012 . Avg. mos. at current job—22 . Avg. mos. at current/greater income level—22 HOPE Works: In the fall of 2012 HOPE partnered with ExxonMobil and the North Baton Rouge Industry Training Initiative (NBRITI) to provide social skills, life skills and behavioral training to 45 students preparing to become pipe- fitters, welders, and electricians. This initiative promoted HOPE to develop HOPE Works workforce training. In 2013, 39 people were served through the HOPE Works program. Of those:
312
2013 YE: . 74% have gotten jobs . 74 interviews conducted . 72% are currently employed Going Beyond©: This 40-hour workshop series is made up of 16 sessions conducted twice a week for 8 weeks. The program helps participants identify the root causes of poverty, increase financial literacy, recognize and build on existing resources, and design an action plan for becoming self-sufficient.
Since its onset 162 people have graduated from this course and as of March 2014 the 21 class is in session.
Client Choice Food Pantry: HOPE’s unique pantry serves clients in a grocery-store setting. This is a unique food pantry atmosphere – one of dignity that allows clients to select the food that best suits the nutritional and health needs of their families. Distributed roughly 250,000 lbs. of food in 2013 Fed 13,722 people a -By World Social Enterprise: HOPE Ministries helps at-risk families reach self-sufficiency, and we believe our agency should be self-sufficient as well. In 2013, we continued our state wide training, Understanding the Dynamics of Poverty, a full-day poverty awareness workshop for social service workers and other professionals who interact with persons living in poverty. To date we have trained over 135 companies and organizations employees.
Goals for Upcoming Year:
Programs/Services – Continue to provide services to meet the needs of impoverished families trying to gain self- sufficiency through all programs; grow HOPE Works and continue to secure industry support Social Enterprise – Continue to bring our poverty awareness training to organizations and individuals throughout the state; become a state accredited Small Business Employee Training (SBET) provider Administrative – Continue to grow funding base of support and to secure additional support from United Methodist Churches as well as other local churches and congregations; Continue to work with UMW, UMM and local circles Fund Development – Continue to secure additional individual donors to HOPE and implement seasonal appeals Public Relations – Continue to increase awareness through marketing and social media
Challenges:
. FIRE - HOPE experienced a fire on October 20, 2012 which knocked out an entire wing of our building; rebuild is tedious and slow – final payout received in February 2014 . Additional sources of revenue . Lack of staff . Capital improvements to facilities . Growth of ministries to include additional programs and outreach . Ongoing public relations and public awareness of the plight of homeless and impoverished in our communities, and the role of HOPE Ministries in addressing these issues
Items for Action/Vote by Annual Conference: We request Conference endorsement of the listed membership of our Board of Directors. Please see separate board listing.

MINISTERS’ EMERGENCY AID FUND
The Ministers’ Emergency Aid Fund is supported by the clergy of the Louisiana Annual Conference who voluntarily contribute one-half of one percent of their base salary annually. We recommend the following guidelines for the Ministers’ Emergency Aid Fund:
313
1. That each clergyperson under appointment in the Louisiana Annual Conference be asked to give an amount equal to one-half of one percent of their base salary for 2014 to the Ministers’ Emergency Aid Fund (line 5030 on the Conference Remittance Sheet). 2. That this fund be used to provide emergency benefit aid to the clergy of the Louisiana Conference and their immediate families, subject to the following guidelines: a. The maximum amount allowed for a single emergency shall be $1,000. b. Exceptional situations may be given special consideration by the Cabinet. c. Only one grant will be provided to any one individual in a twelve month period. 3. That each clergyperson and local church be requested to provide an adequate medical insurance program for family protection.
In 2013, conference clergy contributed $11,133.25 to the Minister’s Emergency Aid Fund. Nine grants totaling $10,419.19 were distributed to clergy families.
Dr. Van A. Stinson, Cabinet Secretary
THE CENTER FOR PASTORAL EXCELLENCE
Our intention/purpose is to maintain and cultivate ministry excellence in the Louisiana Annual Conference.
As we live in a stance of discernment, response and ministry, The Center for Pastoral Excellence continues to be in dialogue with the following questions: With its current resources, how can The Center be most helpful and useful to the ministry of the Louisiana Conference? What are The Conference’s greatest needs that the Center can help address? How can The Center have the greatest positive impact on and the deepest service to our Conference? How can The Center best cultivate ministry excellence in the current culture?
As these discerning questions continue to guide us into deeper ministry, we are anticipating a bright future. For what has been, we give thanks; for what will be, we wait with anticipation. In the words of the poet Emily Dickerson, “We dwell in possibilities.” All shall be well.
Ministry Happens!
As God lights our path into the future, may we on occasion look back for assurance.
As The Center has these conversations, we will continue many of the ministries already offered. Some of those include: 1) Through the BOM, ministry with the RIM 1, 2 and 3 (monthly meetings and two overnight retreats) 2) Abbey Retreat for RIMs and other Clergy 3) A monthly Leadership Resource through The Center 4) Continuing education opportunities and webinars. Over the past year, some of those have included: Expeditions to What’s Possible: Reviewing, Revising, Recomposing Your Leadership Narrative with Dr. Larry Peers, former consultant for Alban Institute and now Director of Learning for PEN. This was a 3-part webinar for 1½ hours each. Homiletical Hot Potatoes: Preaching on Difficult Topics with Dr. Alyce McKenzie, Preaching Professor at Perkins School of Theology, SMU. Trauma Transformation and Narrative with David Hooker. Appreciative Inquiry and Faith Communities with Joyce Samuels. Emotional Systems, Conflict Transformation and Faith Communities with Dr. W. Craig Gilliam. 5) Clergy Peer Group 6) Transitions Seminar for clergy and families changing appointments entitled Manna for the Journey 7) Living and Leading in an I-Thou Way
314
8) 3M Network (Maintaining Ministers in Ministry Network) 9) Being a resource for our ministers, congregations and Cabinet as needed. This list is a sample of the ministries offered through The Center. In addition, coaching for clergy, discernment and visioning for congregations, team building for staff, and conflict transformation with congregations (walking along side) are some of the individual ministries offered through The Center.
Thank you for your support of the ministry of The Center for Pastoral Excellence in the past and your continued support of this ministry into the future. Thank you! May God bless you.
Dr. W. Craig Gilliam, Director
THE ACADEMY FOR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP
The Path of Spiritual Direction and Christian Formation in the Congregation - This two-year process, taught in six sessions, to train leaders (both clergy and lay) in Spiritual Direction and Congregational Christian Formation. In May 2014 we completed our seventh training cycle of this important leadership development opportunity offered in this Annual Conference. Wendy Miller, who has been the core instructor of this training, will retire after our October 2014 retreat. We will add two new faculty instructors for our three 2015 retreats. Dr. Dwight Judy will be our 2015 winter retreat instructor, and Dr. Daniel Wolpert will be our May and October retreat instructor. It is our hope that these new voices will attract new people to this learning opportunity.
The Discerner’s Academy: The ASL works with the Board of Ordained Ministry to enlist and recruit a new generation of Spiritual Leaders who are called for representative ministry in the church. The Discerner’s Academy provides opportunities for people to gather, study, serve and worship with others who are in a season of discernment about what God is calling them to do. The 2014 Discerners Academy in March offered opportunities for young adults and lay people to learn the United Methodist process for becoming representative leaders and network with others beginning the process in this Annual Conference. This is an excellent setting for relationships of the connection to be formed and nurtured.
Contemplative Retreat - Each summer 40 men and women, both clergy and lay, who have been a part of the Academy for Spiritual Leadership in the past have the opportunity to gather at St. Joseph Abbey in Covington to nurture and nourish their souls with an extended period of silence with attention paid to praying the hours of the day. This is a time of reflection and renewal. July 2013 offered 36 individuals this unforgettable experience.
Louisiana School of Contemplative Prayer: During 2015 there will be three weekend opportunities for clergy and lay people to gather at the Wesley Center and learn the art and practice of Contemplative Prayer. During these events leaders, both clergy and laity, will develop tools to help them return to their local congregations and teach others how to deepen both their individual and community prayer life. These opportunities will focus on Meditation Techniques and Different forms of Contemplation that help Christians grow closer to Christ. Leaders for these events will be recruited from within the LA Annual Conference.
Additional information regarding all these events is available from Rev. Frances J. Hooton, Director, [email protected] or Administrative Assistant Linda Gregg, [email protected].
THE WESLEY CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL
In 2013, The Wesley Center for Spiritual Renewal embarked upon a strategic initiative to grow the usage of our wonderful conference-wide facility. Our primary goal is, and will always be, the location where the United Methodist community can gather for spiritual growth and renewal.
The Wesley Center was blessed to host many, many events in 2013. These include the multiple Cursillo weekend events and the transformation of lives that occur, numerous conference board meetings, Conference-wide events such
315
as the Bishop’s Confirmation Day, the Spiritual Academy, mission training opportunities, and many other events. We strive to encourage churches and other organizations to utilize the tremendous facilities in the central part of Louisiana. As the board turned its attention to the future, we determined the need to refocus on achievable goals. Our focus is on:
Radical hospitality – Let’s be like Jesus Fabulous facilities – More than a stable but comfortable for everyone Mission Focus – Outreach to our communities both near and far Programming – Through our connections, offer learning experiences Financial Stability – Retire debt and begin a campaign to upgrade the facilities Marketing – Tell the wonderful story of The Wesley Center to others Youth – Keep our younger church members active in our Methodist tradition
These goals cannot and will not be accomplished strictly by the board or the tremendous staff at The Wesley Center. As in growing the kingdom of God, achievement of these goals can only be accomplished if we extend the fellowship of Christ to all and ask you to join in the vision – creating a space where people can come and find peace, a time of reflection and the opportunity to more fully develop their relationship with God. The Wesley Center, A Spiritual Retreat Center of the United Methodist Church is open.

MOUNT SEQUOYAH CENTER
150 N Skyline Drive, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 479.443.4531 OFFICE | 800.760.8126 TOLL FREE www.mountsequoyah.org
The Mountain ministry is alive and growing! The renewal of our beloved Mountain is well underway and the results are amazing! In 2013 we welcomed almost 20,000 guests from every walk of life to our United Methodist Mountain and provided the radical Christian Hospitality we are known for. We ministered to young and old, believers and non- believers alike, in an environment where the presence of the Holy Spirit is so real it is almost tangible.
Our outreach ministry grew in the summer of 2013 when we launched the only “Christian” swim team in Northwest Arkansas. We are the Mount Sequoyah Marlins and our T-shirts (donated by Rev. Pearce of Wichita Falls, TX) declare our mantra, “be strong and courageous” Joshua 1:9. Last year our Marlins learned about being good stewards of the resources God provides us as they swam their way to the regional championship under the coaching of Anita Parisi (former All-American swimmer for Rice University). As their season ended they planted a tree on the Mountain as a reminder that we steward all that God gives us with love and adoration for Him.
316
In addition to our swim team, Mount Sequoyah Center partnered with Central United Methodist Church to host the Mountain’s first ever Kanakuk Day Kamp. Over 100 children attended the week-long Christian day camp and we were able to provide more than 25 scholarships for under-represented children to attend the camp as well. The camp was an amazing success and we are scheduled to host two weeks of day camp this year.
The Mountain has always ministered to United Methodists across the jurisdiction and in 2013 we launched our “At The Cross” program series with a Senior Adult Fall Retreat in October. Participants from seven different conferences came together for fun and fellowship with daily devotionals, music and entertainment, and a couple of excursions featuring a train ride through the beautiful Boston mountain range and a trip to the premier American Art Museum, Crystal Bridges.
As the occupancy on the Mountain grows, so grows our ability to support United Methodist Missions and events with discounted lodging and meeting facilities. In 2013, Mount Sequoyah Center extended $30,000 in discounts to United Methodist groups who came to the Mountain for educational events, group retreats, and personal retreats. As we grow we will continue to support our missions with our goal being to one day operate in a way that allows us to provide grants to United Methodist Missions across the jurisdiction.
We want to thank all the United Methodists, Jurisdictional Conferences, and Foundations who are so generously supporting our efforts to remodel the Center. Your contributions have allowed us to remodel the New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Oaks cottages, as well as the Sunset house and the Bailey Center. In 2014 we will remodel the Louisiana, Fayetteville, and Missouri cottages and we hope to also prepare Galloway House to provide a contemplative setting for pastors who need to rest and relax. Thank you again for your prayers and support and we look forward to seeing you on the Mountain soon.
Kindest Regards, Abby G. Foster, CEO

BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY
The Louisiana Conference Board of Ordained Ministry (CBOM) continues to work diligently toward achieving excellence in ministry. Throughout this past year I can say without reservation that the nearly 70 persons representing the Conference through our work have exhibited the desire for excellence that exemplifies the goal to which we aspire. It continues to be a great privilege to witness the dedication, earnestness and effectiveness they give to this critical work.
The Church, and The United Methodist Church in particular, faces many challenges, some external and some internal. Declining membership, imbalanced resource allocation, threatening irrelevance, aging, polarization regarding social issues, an inadequate supply of leadership and outdated models of education and practice are just a few of the pressing concerns we must confront if we are to remain a vital force for Christ. Perhaps the most important challenge is choosing to view these not merely as problems but opportunities to rethink church. While all of these matters are interrelated on some level, one of the most effective ways to impact all of them is to recruit, equip, employ and refine effective leadership throughout our connection. This is the endeavor that drives your Conference Board of Ordained Ministry throughout the year, and it is a task we take very seriously.
Providing for quality leadership is a mission we could not begin to achieve without the vital cooperation of our Bishop and District Superintendents. I am exceedingly grateful for the common sense of priority we share and their dedication to fostering teamwork. Not only are we working to improve our mutual functioning, but we are joining together in discernment regarding the challenges we face. Board and Cabinet members have assembled for visioning conversations on several occasions, including attendance at last summer's Bishops Week in Dallas. Much of our dialogue focuses around the following issues:
Expanding leadership discovery and cultivation: In what is termed the "pipeline" model of recruitment, typically, young prodigies or second-career aspirants are nurtured from the local church through a pastoral track or onto seminary. While still fruitful and valid, solely leaning on such a model is no longer adequate to supply enough nor appropriate leadership to meet the needs of our changing church. Expanding a culture of discernment requires us to extend fertile relationships into non-traditional settings of ministry, creating a new ecology of enlistment. Re-envisioning leadership preparation: Inherent in the "pipeline" model is a relatively narrow equipping process that is experienced as cumbersome and "one-size-fits-all" to potential candidates for leadership. Our challenge is to develop new models of training and apprenticeship, that are appropriate to the changing landscape of ministry and its leaders, while maintaining theological and covenantal standards. Defining and maintaining excellence: As I described in last year's report, developing tools for practical evaluation and effective nurturing of quality and fruitfulness remains vital to refining leadership. Naturally, this will entail ongoing attention to addressing ineffectiveness with compassion, integrity, supportive accountability and measurable results. On the other hand, we must re-imagine the methods of assessing settings of ministry and the relationships to their leadership, as appointments focus more intentionally on mission rather than merely a constituent parish.
318
While the work of the CBOM is, I believe, vital to our life and future together, I consider everyone within our Church a partner. New leaders will be identified and nurtured by relationships across our connection, and we must all commit to enhanced effectiveness in extending Christ to our world. I am blessed to stand with the faithful members of the Board and with all Louisiana United Methodists in seizing the opportunities God has placed before us.
Finally, I must add my thanks to the Board's essential servant, Rev. John Edd Harper. While it may be annually tendered, my words of gratitude are neither obligatory nor routine. None of us on the Board could imagine accomplishing our work without John Edd, and I know he has provided his amazing support this year in the face of immensely challenging personal circumstances. We and the entire Conference should be mindful of how blessed Louisiana is to have his particular gifts available to us in this vital area of ministry.
Respectfully Submitted, Gary D. Willis, Chairperson Louisiana Conference Board of Ordained Ministry
DIVISION OF ELDERS
I take great pride in submitting this report on behalf of the Division of Elders of the Louisiana Annual Conference. First and foremost, I want to thank the 25 ordained and lay members of our Division that have done an incredible job in this first year of transitioning into a new quadrennium. Our Division members have spent a great deal of time reading theological papers and bible studies. They have spent a great deal of time watching and reviewing sermons, visiting the churches where our provisional members are serving, not to mention spending many days and hours in interviews with, reviews of, and deliberations over each person in our process. I continue to be blessed and encouraged to see the effort and integrity that each of them brings to the work of our Division. I am indebted to all of them as are our Provisional Elders and our entire Conference.
It has been a very busy year for our Division of Elders. In the early fall, under the leadership of our vice-chairperson, Rev. Jack O’Dell, we developed and adopted a new In-Parish Visit questionnaire. This new questionnaire focuses more on effectiveness in ministry as it relates to our core values as a United Methodist Church. We also have successfully developed and implemented the assignment of a ministry project to be done in the second year of residency. This ministry project has, as its purpose, growing disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world and was added to our process in order to satisfy a new Disciplinary requirement. This year, for the first time, in August I attended the Center for Pastoral Excellence retreat for our Provisional Members. We had a relaxed “off the record” conversation about the process to ordination along with a discussion about frustrations with and celebrations of this process and how our Division does its work. Dr. Craig Gilliam and I received very positive feedback from this time I spent with them and it is our plan to make this a regularly scheduled part of this annual retreat.
One of the areas of our work of which I am most proud and excited is a new understanding of communication and cooperation between our Division, Bishop Harvey, and our cabinet. For the first time, Rev. Jack O’Dell, our vice- chairperson, and I met with Bishop Harvey and the cabinet in the fall and spring to discuss each person in our process. The focus of these meetings has been to work together to inform each other of our experiences with each candidate in an effort to make the Provisional process as effective as it can be. It also has afforded all of us the opportunity to be on the same page with regards to any issues we might address, together, or assistance we might offer each Provisional Elder as they progress into effective ministry. I thank Bishop Harvey and our Cabinet for their cooperation and support into transforming this idea into a very effective reality.
As always, the Division of Elders continues to fine-tune our process in every area of our work and I am proud to say that our process is a model that many Boards of Ordained Ministries across the connection have adopted. The Division of Elders, along with our Conference Board of Ordained Ministry, is one of, if not the hardest working Boards in our Conference. I am honored and blessed to be a part of this work and I solicit the prayers and support of every United Methodist in Louisiana as we do this work.
Rev. Michi Head Chairperson, Division of Elders

DIVISON OF DEACONS AND DIACONAL MINISTERS
It has been my pleasure and honor to serve on the Division of Deacons and Diaconal Ministers of the Louisiana Conference. It is a pleasure working with individuals who gave of their time and treasure as servants of God. Serving with this group is a once in a lifetime experience. I thank God for this experience and opportunity.
The Division of Deacons is a support group of deacons and clergy providing service to the local church and beyond. Diaconal Ministers, clergy and lay people are also looked upon as a serving support group for The United Methodist Church. According to The United Methodist Church Book of Discipline, Deacons and Diaconal Ministers are similar in that they both are serving ministries.
According to the 2012 Book of Discipline, deacons from among the baptized are called by God to a lifetime of servant leadership, authorized by the Church, and ordained by the bishop. Deacons fulfill servant ministries in the world and lead the Church in relating the gathered life of Christians to their ministries in the world, interrelating worship in the gathered community with service to God in the world. Deacons give leadership in the Church’s life: in teaching and proclaiming the Word; in contributing to worship and in assisting the elders in administering the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; preaching; informing and nurturing disciples; in conducting marriages and burying the dead; in embodying the church’s mission to the world; and in leading congregations in interpreting the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world. Further, the Book of Discipline empowers deacons in both person and function to embody, articulate and lead the whole people of God in its servant ministry. Deacons in their leadership responsibilities have evolved over the years.
Deacons are the bridge between the local church and the community. We are to take the church to the community and the community to the church. We have a broken and dying community that is desperate to be free and hear the good news of the gospel.
As stated in the 2012 Book of Discipline, the Deacon has evolved in United Methodism over many years with the continuing of the Deaconess and the Diaconal Minister. Their gifts and their work are very important to us. Diaconal Minister is no longer a current option in our conference. Our Diaconal Ministers are required to interview before the division each quadrennium.
We often state that a Deacon may serve beyond the local setting of the church. They may serve in United Methodist agencies, local congregation, hospice care chaplain, attorney and the nursing field.
As members of the Order of the Deacons, all deacons in full connection are in covenant with all other Deacons in the Louisiana Annual Conference and shall participate in the life of the order.
The division of Deacons is in a good place and all the business of the division is being taken care of.
We provide our candidates with an atmosphere that is conducive to the Deacon process. Currently we have one possible Deacon in full connection (third year RIM) who will be ready for Ordination. One Deacon is in her second year (RIM) process and one Deacon is in the first year (RIM) process.
No one knows the future; however those us of who are a part of the division hope and pray that God will continue to bless us and encourage others to accept the call if and when God touches their heart to become a Deacon in full connection.

DIVISION OF LOCAL PASTORS AND ASSOCIATE MEMBERS
Last year, we reported to you that we had revamped our Spring Interview process in an effort to make these crucial annual evaluations more productive for our division and more helpful to those we were interviewing. In the second year of this model, we again made some tweaks to ensure fairness to our candidates and fidelity to you, the people of the Louisiana Conference, so that we can be even more confident that when we tell the Bishop and cabinet someone
320
is ‘appointable’ we have done all we can to ensure that you are receiving someone qualified to do ministry in your charge. Based on the feedback we got from those interviewed, this new model of interview has made a big difference in those we interview; they again expressed their appreciation that we are bringing the interviews closer to their locations.
One of the most crucial relationships in any pastor’s professional development is with their assigned mentor. To that end, we added to our interview a question asking the candidate about the fruits coming from their interaction with their mentor. To be clear, the expectation is that the clergy and their mentor will meet quarterly, with monthly contact via any other method. In the past, we have simply asked how many times they’ve met. In years past, we have found that far too often, these relationships have not been as productive as intended. By asking the candidate about the fruits of these relationships, we are also helping the members of the cabinet know who among the clergy are the most effective, and who may need some additional work; this is crucial as one of the responsibilities of members in full connection is being available to mentor effectively those who are in the process.
This year, our division interviewed approximately 90 candidates who are serving in the Local Pastor status as well as those in our midst who are members of other Christian traditions. The men and women we were honored to interview are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet, taking the good news of the gospel to all corners of our state. They are to be commended for their faithfulness to Christ and His church.
Moving into this next conference year, we will continue seeking ways to make our work more effective and efficient. We have already decided to adopt a new model for business that must be conducted at unscheduled times so as to take advantage of our member’s locations as well as be the best stewards possible of our members’ time and the conference’s resources.
In closing, we want to thank the people of St. Timothy’s-on-the-Northshore, FUMC-Baton Rouge, Asbury UMC in Lafayette, FUMC-Monroe, and FUMC-Shreveport for their generous hospitality as we set about to do our work. We also cannot express enough our gratitude to Bishop Fierro Harvey and her cabinet for their enthusiastic support and encouragement; our hope is that our efforts have helped them do their work in this year’s appointment process. A word of appreciation also goes to Revs. John Robert Black and Pam Roy for their leadership of the License to Preach School, which is the first educational stop for those entering the local pastor process. Additionally, we want to express our gratitude to Rev. John Edd Harper for his work as the Coordinator of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry, and to Rev. Pattye Hewitt for her leadership of the Fellowship of Local Pastors and Associate Members. Through their excellence in their specific roles, Revs. Harper and Hewitt have had a great impact on our work within the division and to our pastors.

ORDER OF ELDERS
The Order of Elders is a “covenant community within the church to mutually support, care for, and hold accountable its members for the sake of the life and mission of the church.” Over the past year the Order of Elders fulfilled its purpose in the following ways: Sponsored the annual Labor Day Family Picnic at the Wesley Center for the purpose of creating space for Elders and their families to deepen existing relationships and make new ones. Hosted the Fall Clergy Retreat October 7-10, 2013 at the Wesley Center with Rev. Daniel Wolpert, who presented on the theme Practices for Spiritual Leadership. Co-sponsored the 2nd Annual Clergy Bible Camp May 4-6, 2014 at the Wesley Center with Dr. Robert Mulholland, who facilitated an in depth study of Revelation on the theme New Jerusalem Living in a Fallen Babylon World. In the upcoming year, and for the remainder of this quadrennia, the focus of the Order of Elders will be to facilitate the growth of a vibrant, life giving covenant community that strengthens, nurtures, and deepens our relationships with God and with each other and that equips us for authentic, transformative spiritual leadership. To this end, the Order of Elders will continue to work closely with the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry to provide opportunities for clergy to grow in their relationships with both God and each other.

ORDER OF DEACONS
The Order of Deacons is a covenant community striving to support, care for, and hold each other accountable for the sake of the life and mission of the church. We solicit the continuing prayers of the church as we live out our individual and collective identity and vocation.
Highlights: The annual Deacon/Diaconal Breakfast Meeting was held on June 4, 2013, during Annual Conference. Two persons were recognized to be ordained Deacon in full connection with the Conference: Steve Norman London and Christopher Hartley McLain. We also introduced one new provisional deacon: Emily Elin Bankston. We celebrated the ministry of Consuella Foster Breaux as she entered retired status. Deacons Lauren Frazier-McGuin and Herbert Willard McGuin facilitated an evening retreat for fifteen deacons on October 6. They wove creativity, laughter, and soulful reflection into a delightful time of fellowship. Seventeen deacons met at the Wesley Center with Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey on October 7, 2013. The Bishop led a discussion of the Mission, Vision and Core Values of the Louisiana Annual Conference; and those present developed illustrations of measurable ways in which deacons actualize the values in various ministry settings. Deacon Dawn Young created and published “For the Fruits of This Creation: A Daily Prayer Book for the Diaconate of the Louisiana Annual Conference.” Many have purchased it and find it a valuable help in daily devotional practice.
Future Goals: Seek new ways to build community within the order including use of the Deacons’ Page on the Louisiana Annual Conference website, and possibly regional small group gatherings for fellowship and support.
Investigate opportunities to collaborate with Orders of Deacons in neighboring annual conferences for the purpose of education, fellowship, and service projects.
Identify the unique challenges faced by those whose appointments are outside of the local church and those unable to secure paid positions in a local church.
Pursue clarity concerning the roles, responsibilities, and relationships of ordained Deacons within the churches of the Louisiana Annual Conference in order to enhance the effectiveness of our shared ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Pattye Hewitt, Fellowship of LP & AM Chair
CARE AND NURTURE TEAM
Policy Number 101 Clergy Counseling Funds
The use of the clergy counseling funds are overseen by the Care and Nurture Chairperson of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry of the Louisiana Annual Conference. The fund is to be used for the confidential psychological therapy needs of the clergy under appointment and their spouse, and/or dependent children of the Louisiana Conference. As deemed necessary, the CBOM may recommend the use of these funds for clergy within our conference when they may not be under appointment.
The funding is $300 per clergy and/or their family members per each request. The clergy or family member is to make request for funds in writing to the Care and Nurture Chairperson, and to include the name, address, and phone number of the licensed therapist, who is in good standing with relevant licensing board, for whom they are requesting payment. Payment is made directly from the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry to the therapist. The Care and Nurture Chairperson keeps the names of those being counseled in absolute confidence. The records of the persons helped through this fund are to be kept by the Care and Nurture Chairperson only for the year in which funds are received. At the end of the year all records of names of those helped are destroyed.
No clergy person or family member will be reimbursed directly. Only providers of licensed psychotherapeutic services will be paid for services rendered.
The amount paid in any given instance may be increased at the discretion of the Care and Nurture Chairperson, in consultation with the Chairperson of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry. The maximum amount of $1,200.00 will be offered per clergy or clergy family per calendar year. The Care and Nurture Chairperson will keep the names in confidence but may speak of the factors which are suggesting the increase.
After consultation with the Chairperson of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry, the Care and Nurture Chairperson has the discretion to authorize funding for alternative types of counseling such as life coaching, nutritional counseling, etc.

The applicant requesting the grant is sent a letter verifying that the process is under way. If the applicant has not received a response from the CBOM Care & Nurture Chair within 10 days of making application, please contact the CBOM Care & Nurture Chair to make sure the request was received.
COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE COMPENSATION
The Book of Discipline clearly states that the primary responsibility for payment of pastoral salaries remains with individual pastoral charges (see par. 624). In addition, the Annual Conference provides a program of support for the ministers (not the individual churches) to assure them of a livable level of financial support when serving a full-time appointment. Towards this end, The Commission on Equitable Compensation recommends the following policies:
Local churches whose ministerial leadership is receiving an Equitable Compensation Grant are expected:
1. To raise their local compensation by a minimum of 5% annually until there is no longer a need for Conference support. 2. To pay all apportioned ministerial items (Equitable Compensation, Episcopal and District Superintendents Funds), World Service and Conference Benevolences. 3. To conduct an Annual Stewardship Campaign. 4. To carry Louisiana Worker's Compensation insurance on their minister and staff. 5. Pay 100% of Health Insurance as set by the Board of Pensions and remain current on local congregation’s clergy pension obligations. 6. When the local church treasurer realizes that a delinquency is impending either in payment to pastor of a regularly scheduled payroll or full payment of regular direct billed benefit payments such as pension and health care, and every effort has been made to produce the necessary funds to mitigate the delinquency, notification must be made to the pastor and district superintendant within no less than seven days of the impending delinquency (first expected missed payment).
A. The minister's Conference relationship sets the Equitable Compensation he/she is eligible to receive as outlined below. Any changes in Conference relationship during the year will change eligibility. The formula rate for full time is 60% of the lower of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) or Conference Average Compensation (CAC) each year. The formula for 2015 grants will be based on the 2015
324
Denominational Average Compensation (DAC). Thus the full time amount for 2015 will be $39,755 (60% of the DAC of $66,259).
2015
Conference Full Time Percent EC Relationship Compensation Applied Base +Elder $39,755 103% $40,948 +Provisional Elder $39,755 102% $40,550 +Associate Member $39,755 101% $40,153 +Full-time Local Pastor $39,755 100% $39,755
B. For the purpose of determining the Equitable Compensation Grants, the minister's total plan compensation includes: base salary, cash allowances, utilities and housing allowance (or, when a parsonage is provided, 25% of the plan compensation as the approximate value of that parsonage). C. Ministers receive an additional $100 for each year of service as a full-time minister up to a maximum of 10 years’ service. D. Ministers receive an additional $200 a year for each church over one. E. Equitable Compensation pays its share of CRSP and CPP based on the minister's income. F. Equitable Compensation pays up to $75 for one Annual Conference sponsored Continuing Education Event per year for clergy who are currently receiving Equitable Compensation Grants. G. Annual Grants approved by the Commission shall be paid in monthly installments on the basis of available funds at the beginning of the calendar year. H. The charge to which the minister is appointed must be classified by the Cabinet as a full-time appointment for the minister to be eligible for full compensation. The policy of the Louisiana Annual conference is not to provide Equitable Compensation Grants for Associate Pastors. I. District Superintendents must submit to the chairperson of the Commission on Equitable Compensation, an application for each minister in their District seeking assistance from the Equitable Compensation Fund. These are to be sent after Charge Conference but no later than December 31. For new appointments, application forms furnished by the Commission should be turned in as soon as possible. J. All ministers receiving Equitable Compensation Grants are required to renew their applications when receiving a change in appointment, and to notify the chairperson of the Commission on Equitable Compensation of any change in compensation or Conference relationship. K. Special consideration will be given in unique cases upon recommendation of the Cabinet and concurrence with the Executive Committee of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. L. To facilitate Mission appointments, certain funds will be made available to the Cabinet to "provide for supplementing base compensation beyond the minimum base compensation schedule." (par.625.6, The Book of Discipline, 2012)
Regarding Moving Expenses:
Charges of 250 members or less which have frequent changes in pastors shall be eligible for assistance from the Conference with moving expenses on the following basis:
A. If the pastor is moved after one year and the charge has not initiated the change, the Conference shall pay to the charge 1/2 of actual moving expenses up to a maximum of $500. B. If the pastor is moved after two years and the charge has not initiated the change, the Conference shall pay to the charge 1/2 of actual moving expenses up to a maximum of $300. C. If the pastor is moved after three or more years, no assistance shall be available to the charge. D. The pastor must be living on the charge in order for the charge to receive such assistance. E. Verification of moving expenses shall be made by submitting a copy of the bill to the District Superintendent in whose District the charge is located. F. Request for assistance shall be initiated by the charge, approved by the District Superintendent (in whose District the charge is), then submitted to the Chairperson of the Commission on Equitable Compensation.
325
G. Special consideration will be given in unique cases by the Cabinet's recommendation, by the willingness of the District making the request to provide 50% of the requested amount, and concurrence with the Executive Committee of the Commission on Equitable Compensation.
Those receiving Equitable Compensation Funds for January 1-June 30, 2014:

RETIRED MINISTER’S HOME BOARD
The purpose of our report to the Annual Conference each year is to keep our ministry before the local churches of the Louisiana Conference, which are represented here by their clergy and lay delegates. There are new delegates to the Conference each year that may not know about the ministry that is performed by our Board. When United Methodist ministers retire, there is no longer a congregation to provide a parsonage for them and they have not been able to build up any equity in a home. Some cannot afford to purchase a home and make monthly mortgage payments from their limited pension income. At the present time, the Board has thirty-two homes throughout the state. Our residents pay a monthly maintenance and insurance fee of nine cents per square foot. For a 1,200 square foot residence, the monthly fee is $108. Currently, we have homes available in Bossier City, Ruston, Baton Rouge, Amite and Monroe. These homes are also available to clergy on disability leave. Our greatest financial support comes when we receive the donation of a home that we can either use for one of our retirees or sell and invest the proceeds in a new home. The last home we purchased was in Hammond with such funds. We are also open to partnering with a church or an individual in providing a home for a particular retiree. When funds are available, the Board will provide up to $50,000 in matching funds.
On Sunday, September 14, 2014, the Annual Conference will observe Retired Ministers’ Homes Board Sunday and the churches are to present this ministry and receive an offering for this work. Our goal is to be able to fund our entire annual administrative cost from the contributions from this offering. This goal can be reached if every church in the Conference contributes at least 60 cents per member. That’s just pocket change for each church, but together amounted to $25,071 last year. The success of this offering makes it possible for us to keep the monthly fees that our retired clergy pay as low as possible.

LOUISIANA INTERCHURCH CONFERENCE (LIC)
To Live the Faith We Hold in Common
Originally formed in 1970, and today with a membership of 16 Christian denominations, and an Associate Member – The Order of St. Lazarus, and including representation from Church Women United, the LIC seeks greater Christian Unity through sharing a common faith in witness, worship, study, and service. The Rev. Dr. Robert Welsh, President of the Council on Christian Unity of the Christian Church-Disciples of Christ, was the keynote speaker at the 44th Annual Assembly of the LIC, held on March 31-April 1st, 2014, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Lake Charles. The theme was: “Revisioning the Church, Mission and Christ’s Call to Unity”. The Most Rev. Shelton Fabre, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, was installed as President during the Assembly Worship service held at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church on Monday evening, March 31, 2014. Bishop Cynthia F. Harvey serves ex officio as a Board Member.

have unanimously endorsed Bread or Stones, a plan to offer practical ways for churches, their leaders and members to address the problems of chronic poverty in Louisiana and help overcome this blight on our State. A major proposal was presented at the Annual Assembly to implement the Bread or Stones campaign.
The LIC Board met in September in West Monroe, LA, and addressed the theme: “Enunciating Consensus in the Churches in the early 21st Century”. The Keynote Speaker was The Rev. Dr. Ted Campbell, of Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, TX. The 2014 Fall Board Meeting will be held in Lafayette on Sept. 23-24. Among LIC Commissions, the Stewardship of the Environment has advocated for the Restore Act that involves coastal restoration working in coalition for rebuilding the gulf coast. The Criminal Justice Commission held a successful Juvenile Justice Conference in February, with a focus on At Risk children and youth. Our Farmer’s Advocate, Mrs. Betty Puckett continues to work as a contract employee, ready to assist farm families on an as-needed basis. The LIC continues to partner with the Louisiana Prison Chapel Foundation in completing the building of Chapels on the grounds of State correctional centers.
Largely funded by the member churches we are grateful for the support of the LA Annual Conference and its commitment to ecumenical relationships that keep before the churches Christ’s vision of unity in mission, service and witness. The member churches strive to proclaim the Gospel message: To Live the Faith We Hold in Common.
Executive Director: The Rev. C. Dana Krutz

In so doing it shall provide for the connectional relationship of the local church, district, and conference with the general agencies. It will monitor to ensure inclusiveness – racial, gender, age, and people with disabilities in the annual conference.
1. Annual Conferences are permitted flexibility to design conference and district structures in ways that best support the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ in an increasingly diverse global community and place secondary any prescribed structure, except for mandated entities in ¶610. (See above)
Introduction:
The Structure of the Conference Agencies
The organization of the Louisiana Conference agencies is designed so as to support the mission, vision and preferred future, and core values of the Annual Conference. As such, the intention of the structure is to serve as the connection with the local church, district, conferences, and general agencies.
327
Vision/Strategy:
Cabinet
The Bishop, with the District Superintendents, the Provost, will serve as the core of the Cabinet. The Bishop may add additional persons to the Cabinet membership in order to accomplish the mission of Missional Strategists and deployment, and as outlined in the Book of Discipline (¶424).
Joshua Team
The Joshua Team is to provide short-term and long-term vision casting that support the mission, and core values of the Louisiana Annual Conference. The 2013 Annual Conference approved and the Bishop selected this team. The team will develop goals and objectives with measurable outcomes for the Conference. The team will identify emerging missional needs and seek the deployment of resources to meet those needs.
The Joshua Team will be appointed by the presiding Bishop, in consultation with the Cabinet. The Bishop will serve as convener, and will select a co-convener from among the membership of the team to lead and conduct the work of the team in the absence of the Bishop. The team will be comprised of persons who are gifted spiritual and visionary leaders. Both laity and clergy may serve, and the diverse constituent interests of the Conference will be represented. The team will not exceed thirteen members, including the bishop and co-convener.
Implementation:

The Division on Clergy shall consist of the Board of Ordained Ministry, the Center for Pastoral Excellence, the Conference Administrative Review Committee, Clergy Medical Leave and the Board of Pension.
Each of these entities will be responsible for enacting the provisions as set forth in the Book of Discipline. The membership of the various agencies will be appointed or elected as provided by the Book of Discipline. The Division will meet individually in order to accomplish their ministry.

The membership of these agencies will follow the recommendations, if any, of the Book of Discipline. If not, each of these ministry areas will have two to six elected members to represent the ministry area in order to accomplish the purpose. These will be nominated by the nominations committee and elected by the Annual Conference. Task Forces may be added if needed.

COMMITTEE ON EPISCOPACY
Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey’s second year in Louisiana has included continuous travel and engagement with congregations, groups, and leaders conference-wide, bringing the full Cabinet to meet in every corner and region of the state. An open evening gathering in each district has featured her presentation of where we are as a conference in living out our Mission, Vision, and Core Values (adopted by the 2013 Annual Conference), with questions and spirited dialogue following. The work continues in the journey that has reduced our districts from seven to six and reduced and restructured conference staff, while an appointed “Joshua Team” is scouting out new territory in how we develop clergy and congregations with greater vitality to more effectively reach our mission fields.
The Episcopacy Committee met with Bishop Harvey in November. Besides keeping generally abreast of her travel and endeavors, a significant focus of the Episcopacy Committee this past conference year has been toward carrying out the 2013 Annual Conference’s action and guidelines to secure a new episcopal residence, selling the Woodstock home as well as the condominium in Shreveport. The Episcopal Residence Committee report details that progress. The Harvey family was able to move in December into a new residence on Gilbert Drive, which has already more easily facilitated the hosting of a number of gatherings.
Annual Conference Committees on Episcopacy are increasingly a significant resource for the work of the South Central Jurisdiction Committee on Episcopacy, as our common work toward the mission in Jesus Christ is brought into alignment across the connection. The Louisiana Conference COE is working with both Bishop Harvey and the SCJ Committee to assist in support, feedback, and coaching opportunities to enhance and strengthen our episcopal leadership, and we are grateful for our bishop’s encouragement to do so. Bishop Harvey is currently serving as the President of the South Central Jurisdiction College of Bishops, and in that role she is a leader for the bishops and for the jurisdiction in this focus and direction. She has also been elected Secretary of the world-wide Council of Bishops, and is in demand to speak and lead many places beyond Louisiana. Bishop Harvey is judicious about her acceptance of such invitations, and in confirming commitments, she is consistently seeking out relationships and connections on behalf of cultivating vital ministry in and for and through the Louisiana Conference.
The Harvey family continues to settle into Louisiana and to make their way into our hearts and lives, and we celebrate the opportunity to serve in ministry with their presence and leadership.
Ellen R. Alston, Chair
EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE COMMITTEE REPORT
A motion to sell the existing Episcopal Residence in Shreveport and the existing Episcopal Residence on Woodstock Drive in Baton Rouge and use up to $265,000 of Conference Contingency funds to purchase or build a new Episcopal Residence in Baton Rouge was passed at Annual Conference in 2013. During the time since Annual Conference in 2013 and now, the Episcopal Residence in Shreveport has been sold and the existing Woodstock Drive Episcopal
336
Residence on Woodstock Drive in Baton Rouge is currently listed for sale. A new Episcopal Residence was purchased on Gilbert Drive in Baton Rouge and Bishop Harvey moved to the new home in December, 2013. The existing residence in Shreveport was sold for $142,000, approximately the amount expected and reported to the Annual Conference last year. The new Gilbert Drive Episcopal Residence was purchased for approximately $80,000 less than the amount reported to Annual Conference (less than $1,000,000). It is expected that the existing Woodstock Drive Episcopal Residence will sell very soon within the range reported to Annual Conference last year.

LOUISIANA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2014 BUDGET AMENDMENT FORM Individuals Submitting Proposed Amendment: Angela Cooley Bulhof and Amber Oxley
Agency/Church Affiliation: Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry (BHECM)
Report Number II
Apportionment Line Item to be Amended: Wesley Foundations
Requested Increase: $60,000 (to restore to 2014 budget level of $660,000)
Rationale for Proposed Amendment:
Reducing the “Wesley Foundation” apportionment would cripple the Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry’s (BHECM) prayerful and intentional work to move Louisiana Annual Conference’s campus ministries to excellence. 1. This amendment is not asking for new funds. It is unwise to strip support from campus ministry for the second year in a row, this time by (9%). The 2014 budget was already reduced $87,200 (11%) from 2013’s budget at last year’s Annual Conference. 2. BHECM is being unfairly penalized for doing exactly what it was asked to do at the 2012 Louisiana Annual Conference, namely setting and implementing measurable standards of accountability and practicing disciplined stewardship of funds for which it is responsible. a. Heroic and admirable efforts have already been made to set and implement measurable standards of excellence for campus ministry, by which each Wesley Foundation is now held accountable. One result of this new accountability was the suspended funding and the temporary closure of our United Methodist campus ministry at historic Grambling State University. Those funds were set aside in to help re-start a restructured campus ministry. But now those funds are being removed because they were not used. They were not used precisely to help refocus that ministry, as the conference asked. b. The Board has reduced administrative cost, and we explored new approaches to reduced board expenses. After that success, they are being asked to cut again. 3. The budgeted reduction would cripple BHECM’s efforts to encourage and help fund the restart of the Wesley Foundation Serving Grambling State University, and to support efforts of existing units to renovate their aging structures. The Council on Finance and Administration’s stated reason for a $60,000 decrease is based on a false assumption that the funds in the reserve accounts managed by the BHECM constitute an undesignated and unplanned surplus of funds. (Please see the note labeled “**” on page 36 of the pre-conference report.) BHECM was unaware that there were concerns about these accounts before the pre-conference report was published. In reality, this
340
Board has practiced prayerful and admirable stewardship of these two reserve accounts. The $317,267 in the Building Endowment is barely enough to scratch the surface of the needs of our aging Wesley Foundation facilities across the state. The Reserve Fund only carries a balance of $191,041. Of that, $73,039 was withheld from ineffective ministries in 2013. The Reserve Fund is intended to be spent to supplement meager program budgets and to help restart and plant NEW campus ministries. The funds that were withheld from Grambling, Southeastern, and Southern were intentionally set aside until such time as those units could refocus and restart. Forcing BHECM to use those funds to maintain support of other Wesleys will endanger the fruitfulness of that intentional work, and would threaten to permanently eliminate ministries. 4. Restoring these funds will allow campus ministry to continue to do its essential work of making disciples of Jesus Christ and developing leadership among 18-28 year-olds, the heart of the future of the Church and the world. a. Every one of the 10 campus ministries receiving annual grants from BHECM cost-effectively plants a new worshipping and discipling community on campus every single year. Young adults are largely absent from (and their needs have been largely neglected by) our local churches, so campus ministry is a vital outreach connection and bridge to the local church. Students involved in our campus ministries are being led and mentored by disciplined and principled clergy with a clear and passionate call to this valid and vital ministry beyond the local church. 2013 Campus Ministry Fall Review documents are evidence that 8,555 students were reached for Christ by our campus ministries during the 2012-2013 school year at the conference’s investment of just $.23 per day per student. b. Our campus ministries are developing 99isciple leaders at astounding rates. They are strategic bridges from the campus to the local church. Every one of our campus ministries sends young adult leadership back into our local churches and our communities with more frequency and in greater numbers than the average local church. Multiple present and future community leaders, lay leaders, camp counselors, children and youth ministries directors, music ministry leaders and members, missionaries, campus ministers, and even pastors of our local churches are being sent from our Wesley Foundations and Centenary’s Christian Leadership Center every year.

SUE ARNOLD FEBRUARY 9, 1934 – MARCH 13, 2014
Sue was born February 9, 1934, in Ringgold, Louisiana. She was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. G. Reginald Weaver and grew up in the Ringgold United Methodist Church. As a child she became quite a gifted and skilled pianist and vocalist and was very involved in the church’s youth and music ministries.
Upon graduation from Ringgold High School, Sue attended Centenary College, majoring in education and minoring in music. She became a member of the Centenary Choir, where she met Tracy Arnold. After Sue and Tracy married in 1953, she joined him in Fort Worth, Texas. She continued her college course work at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, and Tracy served on staff at Arlington Heights Methodist Church while earning his master’s degree from Perkins School of Theology. In 1955, Sue and Tracy returned to Louisiana where Tracy would serve throughout his career in the Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Sue supported and worked beside Tracy throughout his thirty-five years of full-time ministry in the United Methodist Church. Communities where they lived and served during these years included Trinity Methodist in Shreveport; St. Luke Methodist in Shreveport, of which Tracy organized and oversaw construction; Abbeville Methodist; Pecan Island First Methodist; Crowley United Methodist; Minden First United Methodist; and Alexandria First United Methodist. Sue became a part of many ministries and undertook leadership roles in each of these local churches in the music ministry, bible study, and United Methodist Women. She also taught piano and voice lessons and participated in community work throughout these years. Tracy passed away on November 21, 1988, while serving Alexandria First United Methodist Church.
Sue remained in Alexandria after Tracy’s death and continued her teaching. Soon, she semi-retired so that she could enjoy traveling with family and friends. Teaching voice and piano to countless children and adults, her teaching career spanned more than fifty years. Music was Sue’s witness of the Christian faith. Her career allowed her to share her love and faith in Jesus Christ. She was full of energy and had a smile that not only lit up a room, but made everyone in that room want to draw closer to her.
Sue Arnold is survived by her two children, Mark R. Arnold and his wife Debbie of Crowley and Shelly King and her husband Darron of Denham Springs, five grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Sue Arnold was preceded in death by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ganuie Reginald Weaver and one grandson, Matthew Raymond Arnold.
HOMER VERNON BAILES MAY 8, 1922 - DECEMBER 2, 2013
Rev. Homer V. Bailes was born May 8, 1922 and passed away December 2, 2013, and is now reunited with his precious wife, Mary Margaret, and daughter, Mary, who preceded him in death.
Rev. Bailes was known as a member of the Bailes Brothers who performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the Louisiana Hay Ride.

MARY CHATMAN BRANCH APRIL 2, 1923 – MAY 27, 2013
Mary Chatman Branch, also was known as mama, sister girl, Mama Mary, tee Mary, Mrs. Rev., and Aunt Mary. She enjoyed worshiping Christ in her home. The Christian moral and educational values she instilled in her children is what was passed on to her grandchildren.
Mary enjoyed cooking. Some of her favorites were black-eyed peas, greens, fried chicken, and lemon pie. She’d get you to fill your plate and she’d contently stand on the sides watching everyone eat and encouraging them to eat more. She rarely sat to partake in the fruits of her labor. However, in a way, she did. She received joy from seeing her family together and happy. There are other memories of tee Mary: the sugar cane truck, watching “Murder, She Wrote,” shopping, or her slow driving to the movie, or when she dropped her friend off at her first job. However, the one that I will keep in the forefront of my mind is her strong love for her family. That is something that will live in us, always.
Mary Chatman Branch was born to the union of Joe and Almena Moses Chatman on April 2, 1923, in Clinton, LA. While attending school, she met a young man, Booker T. Branch, who was a preacher. He became the love of her life. After several months of dating and courting, as she would call it, they were married. They were married for forty years until his death on August 16, 1980. To this union a daughter and a son were born. God in His infinite wisdom, blessed them with another daughter to rear as their own.
Mary Chatman Branch joined Camphor Memorial UMC in 1978, where she served on the Senior Usher Board until her health began to decline. She was a faithful usher. She departed this life on May 27, 2013. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Almena Chatman, five brothers and four sisters. She leaves to cherish her memories: a son, Walter B. Branch (Claudia); two daughters, Leona B. McCastle, and Estelle Pitts Selders; three grandchildren, Douglas McCastle, Jr., Robyn J. Selders, and Robert J. Selders (Michelle); one great grandson, Zion Selders; one sister, Mamie Chatman Holmes; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Mama also loved to shop. On Saturdays, she would go to the mall and buy things for herself and others. She loved working in the yard and garden. She and her husband would plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Her favorite fruit was strawberries.
She like to watch TV. Her favorite show was “Mission Impossible.” We could not breathe too loud. She did not want to miss a word. As a family, she enjoyed traveling to Amite, LA to visit her dad and his wife, her step-mom. Papa Joe would always have strawberries waiting for her.
We really miss you.

NORMAN BROOKS CHAPPELL AUGUST 20, 1929 – JULY 7, 2013
Mr. Norman Chappell of Minden, husband of Rev. Linda Shepherd, passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2013 at the VA Hospital in Shreveport. Norman was born on August 20, 1929 to Marshall and Thula Chappell in Monroe. He lived in Jackson Parish until age ten when his family moved to Transylvania, Louisiana in East Carroll Parish, and attended school there. He served in the military during the Korean Conflict, 1951-1953. After returning home he eventually went into business for himself. He owned a General Store, a Service Station, and a Tire Business in Transylvania.
Norman and his first wife, Carol, had three children, Donna, Paul and Barry. Carol died in 1991 and their daughter, Donna, died in 1999.
Norman and Linda were married in May of 1999 while she was serving the Kilbourne/Locust Grove Charge.
The highlight of Norman’s year was attending his Army Buddy Reunion, which was started by Linda’s first husband, T. C. Shepherd, in 1983. The reunion is hosted by different families, therefore, they were able to travel to or through most of the United States in the last thirty years.

MARIE HARRELL CHRISTIE DECEMBER 2, 1923 - DECEMBER 26, 2013
Marie Harrell Christie, age 90, died December 26, 2013. She was the daughter of Rev. Van Wesley Harrell and Lula Brady Harrell and married to James Edward Christie for almost 60 years. She is survived by a son, James Kenneth Christie and his wife Phebe Duff, a grandson Aaron Christie and a sister Virginia Shreeve of San Diego, CA and her children Kay Marie, Michael and Jane Lea.
She was a wonderful wife, loving mother, sister and aunt; and a friend to many. At age 15, her father's church bought an organ with no one available to play it. So, after traveling to Little Rock weekly for lessons she became the church's organist. At that time, funeral homes, in much the same situation, began buying organs. She would often need to skip and then make up high school classes to help with funerals; until she could teach someone to play for them. Marie graduated from Stuttgart High School and attended Hendrix College, colleges in Louisiana, Southern
346 Methodist University and Columbia University. She was active in the American Guild of Organists in Dallas, TX and in every church choir where she and her husband served. She was also a talented and trained soprano singing in all their church choirs and, later the Cantorias women's choir in Little Rock, AR.
Having married a United Methodist Minister, together they served churches in Louisiana and Arkansas. Later they traveled all over the US for the General Board of Global Ministries. Home was wherever she and James were together. Family, service and hospitality were the cornerstones of her life.
We are all the richer for having known her.
Following a burial at Rest Hills Memorial Park, in North Little Rock; a memorial service will be held Friday, January 10th at 11:00 at Saint James United Methodist Church.
JOHN CALVIN COKER, SR. MARCH 27, 1939 – JANUARY 28, 2014
John Calvin Coker was born in New Orleans on March 27, 1939, and lived in the Carrollton section until leaving for college. He started working at an early age with a paper route, then for a dry cleaning firm, and during high school and college for A&P, working his way up to cashier. During this time he also got his License to Preach and delivered his first sermon, based on John 3:16, at Carrollton UMC. John graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and Emory’s Candler School of Theology.
John began his ministry as a student pastor in Gainesville, Ga. In 1967, he returned to Louisiana with his new wife Louise and was assigned to Metairie UMC. He also served St. Francisville/ Tunica, Indian Bayou/ Kaplan, Chatham/ Eros, Deerford/ St. Paul’s, and Bethel. One of his favorite pastorates was Indian Bayou. The parsonage property included three large grapefruit trees (his favorite fruit) and a fenced pasture with an old chicken house. John told his new congregation and neighbors he would like to try raising a few animals. Soon he had chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, rabbits, and even a few sheep; at the appropriate time, he was even taught how to shear them. John also worked at the Louisiana State Penitentiary as a classification officer and chaplain for eight years before returning to the ministry.
When he was 51, John’s kidneys failed. He began dialysis, had a kidney transplant which lasted over eighteen years, developed diabetes, and finally went back on dialysis for the last four years of his life. Over the years he was in the hospital many times, but he didn’t believe in quitting, and continued to serve as a pastor until he sustained a badly crushed heel while helping to paint one of his churches and had to accept disability leave. John not only spoke of his faith, he lived his faith. He loved people, and even after retirement continued to minister to everyone he met, especially his dialysis group. He also loved to sing, and joined the choir in every church he served. At the time of his death, he was a choir member at St. Luke’s UMC in Baton Rouge.
John is survived by his wife of 48 years, Louise; sons John Coker Jr. and wife Catalina, Tim Coker, and Matt Coker and wife Erin; grandchildren Sydney Rametta, Hanna Coker, and Michael Coker; brothers Thomas Coker and wife Joan, and the Rev. Dr. William Coker and wife Ann. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas J. and Wilmoth Baggett Coker, and his sister, Mary Coker Barbier.
JOHN E. FINCH JR. APRIL 10, 1962 – MARCH 22, 2014
Favorite Scripture: II Corinthians 5:7-8 . . .for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord
347 Rev. John E. Finch, Jr. was born April 10, 1962 in Shreveport, LA and died March 22, 2014. He was a liver transplant recipient in 2001. He received his liver on his birthday, which happened to be on Good Friday. He also survived cancer treatment in 2009. He credited his continued life to God’s grace and mercy. After his transplant he dedicated his life to Christ.
He moved to north central Louisiana in his early twenties. He and his first wife Debbie Holland Finch raised four children. Nine weeks before his death he was thrilled to welcome Eli Tait Butler to the family. He is the first child of Jessica and Dexter Butler.
His passion was to share Christ‘s love with each person who crossed his path. He often did so with his light-hearted and rascally sense of humor. People were always left smiling when he had been near. John’s ability to recognize that a person was hurting from just a brief encounter enabled him to pray mightily for those he met. Convenience stores, retail counters and office desks transformed into holy ground when he prayed. Many people were ministered to in an unassuming manner while John was out and about simply running errands.
Fishing and boating were vital to his soul. His deepest desire was to be out on the lake catching catfish and brim.
Musical expression touched him deeply, so he was learning to play the guitar. He resonated with the angst of heavy metal music and listened to it often.
Reverend Finch was pastor of Clay United Methodist Church. He served as a volunteer for Kairos Prison Ministry, Epiphany Prison Ministry, Walk to Emmaus and Grace Camps. He was a loving Dad and amazing cook. When his wife of 27 years, Debbie, died, he had too much love to share to stay alone. He and Edie were married about nine months before his death.
Reverend Finch is survived by his wife, Edie DeVilbiss Finch of Simsboro; daughters, Jessica Butler and husband Dexter of Simsboro, Courtney Finch of Simsboro; son, John Thornhill of TN; step-children, Shelby Holland and wife Janette of Castor, Mindy Bryant of Simsboro; sister, Theresa Finch of San Antonio, TX; aunt, Penny Dirago of San Antonio, TX; 7 grandchildren, Tyler, Haylie, Dakota, Destiney, Hayley, Britany and Eli. In his marriage to Edie, he had just taken on the role of step-dad to her son Rick (Melissa), and daughters Shauna (Frankie) and Elinore (Spencer). He was delighted to fill in as grandpa to Ethan, Lily, Frank and Bailey.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John E. and Mary (Launius) Finch; first wife, Debra Finch.

FREDDIE CHARLES HENDERSON AUGUST 14, 1944 – SEPTEMBER 26, 2013
One of our Merciful Father’s faithful servants was called home on Thursday, September 26, 2013. Reverend Freddie C. Henderson was born on August 14, 1944, the oldest of three children, in Mansfield, Louisiana from the union of the late Mr. Fred and Mrs. Ella Henderson. Freddie served this earth as a loving and devoted—husband, son, father, and friend to many.
His call to ministry came at a very early age. At the age of 12, Freddie knew that spreading God’s gospel would be his life long journey. He received his Exhorter’s license in 1958 and served diligently as a student pastor during his senior year in high school.
349
After graduating from Desoto High School in Mansfield, Louisiana, he attended Wiley College in Marshall, Texas where he received a BA in Sociology.
To further his theological education, Freddie was accepted into the prestigious Interdenominational Theological Center (Gammon Seminary) in Atlanta, Georgia where he received a Masters of Divinity Degree in 1970.
He served the United Methodist Church as pastor in the Baton Rouge area for over 40 years including pastorates at Hartzell UMC, Shiloh UMC, and Lejeune, Jordan and Wesley UMC churches. He also has served as a Juvenile Chaplain at the Jetson Correctional Institute in Baker, Louisiana.
Rev. Henderson served on many of the boards and committees at the district, conference, and jurisdictional levels. He was elected as a delegate to General and Jurisdictional Conferences in the years of 1996; 2000; and 2004. He was the President of the Greater Baton Interfaith Federation and also a member of various social and civic organizations such as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
In 1998, Rev. Freddie Henderson was appointed District Superintendent of the New Orleans District of the Louisiana Conference of The United Methodist Church. In June 2006, he was appointed Director of Disaster Preparedness for the Louisiana Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. Although officially retired in 2009, he served St. Paul’s and St. Luke UMC Charge in Baton Rouge since June of 2009.
Although he was serious to his devotion to the ministry, he would also cut a joke with the best of them. During his down time, you could always catch Freddie either listening to music, sports, reading and playing with electronic “gadgetry.”
For 43 years he was a loving husband to Gloria “Glo” Listach Henderson until her transition to eternal rest in September, 2009. Three children; sons Freddie Jr. and Nora and daughter Keisha were born to Freddie and Gloria. As a family, they enjoyed traveling, grilling, and tackling home projects and a host of other joys. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Ella Henderson, wife Gloria and brother, Cleonis Henderson. He is survived by his three children, Freddie, Nora and Keisha, his brother Henry (Kay), nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and a host of family and friends.
MELVIN RAY HOLT JULY 2, 1934 – FEBRUARY 10, 2014
Melvin Ray Holt was born July 2, 1934 in Robeline, LA, the youngest, with his twin brother Elvin Roy, of 9 children of Melvin David and Nancy Crow Holt. His family was poor in possessions, but rich in love and in the grace of Jesus Christ. His young life was scarred by tragedy, when his twin brother died at 9 years old from encephalitis. He described these as dark years, marked by anger, bitterness, depression, and thoughts of suicide. Then during his teenage years, Jesus found him, redeemed him, and healed his heart. He was never the same.
He set out to do whatever God gave him to do. Having neither the grades nor the money to go to college, he set out to follow his Father into the sawmills of NE Louisiana. Like countless saints before him, God had different designs.
His pastor found a way to enroll him at Centenary College, and the rest, as they say, is history. He worked hard, graduated with honors, earned a Masters of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology at SMU, and was ordained an elder in the Louisiana Conference in 1961.
He met Elizabeth Jones at Caddo Heights Methodist Church while they were students at Centenary. They married in 1957 and raised 4 sons.
Ray would eventually serve 19 Methodist congregations in Texas, Louisiana, The Philippines, and Ohio as a student pastor, associate pastor, senior pastor, and “retired” pastor. He ministered in three languages (English, Tagalog, and Spanish). He was a missionary to the Philippines for 8 years, where he served the Aeta people of Northern Luzon.
350
Along the way he got involved in boy scouts, started a troop for handicapped boys in Sulphur, was awarded the Bronze Pelican and Silver Beaver for service to scouting, became a grandfather, “retired” and moved to Ohio, followed God’s call into Walk to Emmaus, its youth ministry, Chrysalis and Kairos prison ministry, celebrated 56 years of life with the girl he loved and 60 years of pastoral ministry.
He did not have “no” in him. He was insatiably curious, read voraciously and widely, worked hard, and was willing to learn. He had a gift for languages, a gift for singing, and a love for people that sprung from the deep well of Jesus’ love. He made instant friends, and was loyal to a fault. He ran the race marked for him with tenacity, grace, and joy. And song; always with song.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, he was present with his brothers and sisters in worship. On Monday, Feb. 10, he passed into the presence of his precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ray was preceded in death by his parents Melvin and Nancy; brothers Melvin David, Jr, James, Roy, and Jack; and sisters Tommie Sylvest, Lola Donaho and Lettie Freeman. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, sons Melvin Ray Jr, (Julie), Michael (Cindy), David (Julie), and Charlie, adopted daughter Pam Ebarb, grand children Catherine, Carolyn, Micheal, and Drew, and many nieces and nephews.
JOE ELMER HUNTER MAY 25, 1926 – DECEMBER 28, 2013
Joe Elmer Hunter was born May 25, 1926. He was a lifelong resident of Minden, Louisiana.
Joe was born into a Coca-Cola family. At just 16 years old, Joe aided in operating the production line at the Coca- Cola Bottling Company in Minden.
Joe served in the United States Navy from 1944 until 1946 under Admiral Nimitz. After serving his country, he went back to the Coca-Cola Bottling Company.
He married in 1946 to Bonnie Jean Moreland to whom he remained married for 67 years.
In 1979 he received the calling to join the ministry. He attended St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, Missouri, and served multiple churches – including Clay, First Methodist Minden, Colquitt, Evergreen and Pleasant Valley. All together Joe served 27 years in the ministry.
He is survived by his wife Bonnie M. Hunter; sons Don Hunter and wife, Susan, and Bob Hunter; his brother, Ben and wife, Linda; his sister Nan Hunter Castle and husband, Frank; grandchildren, Larry Hunter and wife, Stephanie, Jill Fields and husband, Bart, Kelsey Hunter and Carrie Himel and husband, Daniel; great-grandchildren, Devon Fields, Parker Fields, Hallie Hunter, Baker Hunter, Jaxon Himel and Gavin Himel.
Joe and Bonnie were not only devoted to each other, but also shared in their unfaltering faith in God. Joe loved the Lord and also Coca-Cola.
JOHN RIDGELY JOHNS NOVEMBER 15, 1936 - MAY 1, 2014
John was born to Roger Claire and Winnie Beatrice Johns in Shreveport, and reared in Mansfield, LA. He grew up in First Methodist Church there, with his brother Roger Dick Johns. He graduated from Mansfield High School and entered Centenary College in 1954. He soon felt called to the Methodist ministry. He was blessed with a good mind and a quick wit. Every body enjoyed being around him so as to enjoy his witticisms as good and as fast as Bob Hope. No one was surprised when he became president of Kappa Sigma Fraternity.,
351
However, he felt most at home in the “MSM”, Methodist Student Movement, and then with the Kappa Chi, the ministerial student fellowship. Life-long friendships were formed there, including: Ray and Liz Holt (later missionaries to the Philippines), Larry Robertson, Paul Durbin (later became the first chaplain to make Brig. General in U.S. Army Reserve), Ray Spiller, Bill Blakely, Bill Eubanks, Eddie Morgan, and many others who served together in the Louisiana Conference. The game of “42” with dominoes was a favorite past-time when together. He studied under the beloved Dr. Webb Pomeroy, Chair of the Religion Department, graduating in 1958.
Upon graduation he went on to enroll at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, where we were roommates in Perkins Dorm. Upon completing the first year there he, along with some of those friends, was ordained Deacon by Bishop Paul E. Martin at the Louisiana Conference in 1960, then Elder in 1963; retired in 2000, completing 40 years of service to his Lord Jesus Christ.
The best day’s work he ever did was on April 1, 1962 when he married Peggy Moore in Pleasant Hill. She was always there for him, a solid rock, and always with a ready smile. Their two sons are: John R. “Richie” Johns, Jr., and Jeffrey “Sonny” Johns. Richie and his wife Michelle have twins, a boy and a girl: John R. Johns, III, and Sydney Johns. Throughout his life John lived and served with compassion for others who suffered. He was especially concerned for those who suffered discrimination, whether it was religious, race, gender, or otherwise. He had a strong social conscience.
It was natural, then, that he became the Coordinator of Restorative Justice for the Louisiana Conference. His heart was dedicated to the GRACE Camps, serving children with incarcerated parents. He did fund raising and public relations for this ministry, as well as working in the camps. John was always good with children; perhaps because he not only enjoyed his “second-childhood,” but also realized that he had never really quite outgrown his first.
John and Peggy’s ministry ranged over a wide-circuit for half a century. Appropriate to his character, in retirement, his last ministry was as Minister of Visitation, Hammond First UMC, under the grand leadership of Rev. Joe Donakey. Here he was right at home visiting the hospital, nursing homes, the sick, and the grieving.
In the last decade of his life, he bravely battled Parkinson’s disease, never ready to quit his ministry of visitation, though much of it, toward the end, had been visiting by telephone. He was deeply grateful to this church for enabling him to continue his beloved ministry to the end.
He shared God’s wonderful love with his own caring, loving ministry…and, as always, with his dear Peggy at his side. The Hammond congregation has developed a series of musicals with wonderful local talent. He was delighted to play the part of FDR in the musical, “Annie,” sitting, of course, in his wheel chair. FDR was one of his heroes of American History.
In his closing weeks, he wanted to call together family and friends for a party…to celebrate the good life God had given him and allowed him to serve Christ’s Church through the ministry of the Louisiana Conference. So, naturally, he gave his body to science, and a Memorial Service was held May 22 at his beloved Hammond church. Now the “Angels Above” surely are being delightfully entertained with his witticisms.

WILSON J. KING 1930 – JANUARY 9, 2014
Rev. King, 84, of Alexandria entered eternal rest on Thursday, January 9, 2014 at his residence. Rev. King was previously employed at Cash Grocery, Handyman Building Materials, and Afco Industries before retiring from Huey P. Long Hospital after 30 years.
352 He was a native of Alexandria after spending some of his early years in Colfax. He was one of the original trustees and incorporators of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Est. in 1966 along with his deceased wife, Mary King. Rev. King was also called to pastorship at St. Mark United Methodist Church. After a few years he returned to Mt. Calvary, where he served as a member, minister and associate pastor until his health failed him.
He was preceded in death by his guardian/parents Louis and Cecile Harrison; wife, Mary King; and son Don King. He is survived by daughter, Sharon King/loving caretaker; 3 sons Nathan, Harry and Dexter (Kathy) King, all of Alexandria; 8 grandchildren, Jernique, "Shay" / loving caretaker, Meli'sa, Maria ("Re Re"), Jasmine, Anthony, Nathan Dewayne, Christopher King, and Kyranikka Green; brother-in-law, Joe Green, of Alexandria; 4 sisters-in law, Bessie Green Sims, Dorothy Green of Chicago, Illinois, Emma Green and Joyce Veal Green of Alexandria; a host of great grandchildren, nephews, nieces, relatives and friends.
MARY KATHERINE DAVIDSON PAINE OCTOBER 17, 1920 – DECEMBER 19, 2013
Mary Katherine Davidson Paine was born on October 17, 1920 in Bogalusa, Louisiana, but spent the majority of her life in Baton Rouge. She passed away on December 19, 2013.
Mary Katherine and her husband, Marshall, were charter members of Ingleside Methodist Church. While serving as Youth Director at Ingleside, Marshall received the calling to become a minister. Their first assignment was St. Francisville – Tunica Church. Mary Katherine used to love to tell the story of the first Sunday that she and Marshall went to church and she was asked to play the piano. She stunned the congregation by saying, “I can’t do that.” The looks on their faces was one of apprehension. She quickly added, “Oh, I’m sorry, I do not know how to play the piano, but I will be happy to help you in whatever craft or cooking projects you may have.” The relief on the parishioners’ faces was quite evident, and they took her at her word. She was called on to do crafts for Bible School and fundraisers for the church. She was instrumental in decorating the new parsonage that she and Marshall oversaw being built. She crafted a nativity scene out of old dolls, including removing all the hair from one, in order to have a bald wise man. She handmade the clothing of the entire nativity scene and made the barn out of styrofoam which she cut and painted.
Mary Katherine was a talented, gifted person. Not only did she decorate her home and the parsonage but also her daughters’ homes. She covered chairs and cornices plus made and hung all of their drapes. While visiting Bea’s home, a friend remarked, I wish I could afford beautiful drapes. Mary Katherine assured her she could help her and she did – for her entire dwelling.
Mary Katherine had a sense of humor and loved to laugh. She loved to wink at her family because none of them could wink back at her; not Marshall, Arthur, Bea or Cathy.
She often chaperoned events for the church youth when they would travel out of town or out of state. She managed to juggle her life in a way that enabled her to maintain the parsonage as well as her home in Baton Rouge.
Marshall had several assignments throughout his ministry including Port Allen; Donaldsonville, Slaughter – Bluff Creek, St Luke’s, and Broadmoor as an associate pastor. Mary Katherine was by his side and would help in any way she could at all of the churches they served. But, she never learned to play the piano.
Mary Katherine was a devoted mother to her three children, Arthur S. Paine, II (married to Carol Paine), Bea Castricone, and Cathy Hoffmann (married to David Hoffmann), all of Baton Rouge. She brought much joy to the lives of her grandchildren, Katie Paine Martin (Lafayette), Michael Paine (Mandeville), and Daniel Hoffmann and Julie Hoffmann Boies (both of Baton Rouge). But the easiest way to bring a smile to her face was a visit from any of her six great grandchildren, all of whom she absolutely adored.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Marshall C. Paine, her parents, Mary and Carl Davidson, her three brothers, Bill Davidson, Dick Davidson, and Jack Davidson, and her grandson, Marshall “Marty” Paine, II.
353 OWEN H. PEYTON JULY 25, 1945 – NOVEMBER 1, 2013
Owen H. Peyton was born July 25, 1945, the fifth child of Walter F. Peyton and Mildred B. Peyton. He had 3 older half siblings: Diane, Virginia & Walter, another older brother Burt, and three younger siblings, Carolyn, Steve, and Mike. Owen grew up in Shreveport, LA, where his family owned and operated a drugstore. Owen graduated from C.E. Byrd High School in 1963. He had a brief stint of college at Centenary University before he was called into service during the Vietnam War. Owen elected to join the U.S. Air force & served as a sergeant in the military police. He was stationed in California, Vietnam, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Owen’s fond memories of his childhood, time he spent overseas and in the military made a lasting impressions and he often used those experiences in his sermons.
After his military service was complete, Owen returned home to Shreveport, where he took a job as a commercial pressman for Graphic Industries. While working there he met his wife Belinda and they were married in 1975. They lived in Shreveport but relocated a few years later to Heflin, LA where they planned to raise their family. In 1979 they had a daughter, Christi, followed by a son, Owen Jr. in 1981. Owen continued working as a pressman for the next 20 years, and Belinda stayed home with their kids. Family prompted Owen the importance to be involved in church. Raised as a United Methodist, he returned to his faith and his family joined First United Methodist Church of Sibley, LA. For many years this was his home church, and while there he first got a calling to serve in the role of a pastor through the friendship and mentoring of the late Reverend Jack Maxey.
In 1990, after much deliberation and prayer, Owen first served in a part time capacity at Antioch United Methodist in Calhoun, LA, driving two hours each Sunday to the small church with his family to deliver God’s message. He also began his studies in seminary at St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas. He attended part time over the next few years, packing up every summer to attend, keeping in touch with his family through letters and phone calls, and making lifelong friends while there.
In 1991, Owen accepted his first full time appointment. He and his family moved from Heflin to Chatham, LA. For the next few years, he led the congregations of the Chatham and Concord United Methodist Churches. Over the next 20 years other appointments followed. Owen and Belinda served Faithful and New River United Methodist Churches in the St. Amant community; Downsville United Methodist and Bethel churches in Downsville, LA; Vinton United Methodist Church; Lake Providence and Pioneer United Methodist Church. Owen also greatly enjoyed his time in the Emmaus community, learning and leading from each retreat.
In 2012, Owen and Belinda decided to slow things down. They had grandkids they wanted to be able to spend time with, as well as their now adult children and their spouses. Owen semi-retired but continued to serve once again part time, now leading the Pine Grove and Wesley Chapel United Methodist Churches. He and Belinda bought a home in Prairieville, LA, excited to start this next phase in their lives. All too soon however, Owen’s health started to decline, and on November 1, 2013, he joined his heavenly family.
Owen is most sincerely missed by his family and his friends. His years of service brought him into the lives of so many wonderful people that he felt blessed to be connected to. The legacy he left behind are the products of hard work, loyalty to his faith, family, and friends, and love that touched each of us. Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, “Well done, good & faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; enter you into the joy of your lord”.
VEDA DUFF TOHLINE MAY 1, 1927-MAY 27, 2013
Veda grew up on a small farm in Walker, Louisiana during the depression. In spite of their poverty, her parents were determined their children would receive college educations and three of the four did. After graduating from Southeastern Louisiana College (now University), Veda taught school for three years. When the Centenary College Choir made one of its tours through south Louisiana in 1950, she met Dan W. Tohline, a young tenor training to be a
354 minister and, before the summer was out, they were married. She devoted the following years to raising their three children and supporting Dan in his ministry. After the children entered college, she returned to teaching, from which she retired in 1981.
Over the years, Veda was involved in ministries with children, youth, and adults. A self-taught musician, she learned to play hymns on the piano at a young age when the Walker Methodist Church found itself suddenly without a pianist. She wrote poetry, did artwork and needlework, and loved to teach the Bible.
She was preceded in death by her husband of sixty years and is survived by their children: Jayce, Barbette, and Joel Tohline, and by six grandchildren: Emily, Sharon, Stephanie, Jordan, Lauren, and Kevin.
JAYNE TRAMMELL-KELLY APRIL 28, 1955 - AUGUST 2, 2013
