SERVICE OF MORNING PRAYER
Call for Jubilee In these times, the calls for renewal come to us from many places. Listen to these voices and to the voice of your own heart:
• Hear the calls of the whole Creation for Sabbath rest. • Hear the calls of the poor for a fair share of the wealth of the Earth. • Hear the calls of captives for release. • Hear the calls of the oppressed for equity. • Hear the calls of the children for hope for the future. • Hear the call of your heart for the renewal of life.
The Gospel Luke 4:14-21 Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee. And a report about him spread throughout the surrounding countries. He began to teach in the synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place in it where it is written "the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release for the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and -sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him. Then he began to say to them,"today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
3
DioCal 003963 Bishop Swing said: "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." We will take ten minutes to discuss what that means. Here are three questions to guide in this discussion.
1) Where is this scripture being "fulfilled in your hearing" in the Diocese of California at the beginning of this new millennium? 2) How is this Jubilee vision becoming reality in your own life, in the life of your congregation, in the life of the Diocese and in the wider church? 3) How are you inspired to live out this vision that was just read?
COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS The Rev. George Sotelo
The Chair thanked Bishop Swing for his appointment to the Nominations Committee, which has given him the opportunity to work with and know persons he might not have known otherwise. He thanked the members of the Committee and also thanked those persons who were willing to have their names submitted. Dennis Delman then read -the names of the nominees and asked them to stand as their names were read.

THE BISHOP'S CONVENTION ADDRESS
Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Usually a Diocesan address will focus on one year in our life on mission in God's Name. Instead, at our 1515` Diocesan Convention I would like to look at three years: the sesquicentennial year, this past year, and the Jubilee year. .
I. Our Sesquicentennial Year
No words could do justice to what just happened in our midst. From "Let It Shine" to "The Feeding of the 5,000," we, as a people, changed. We went public, we created beauty, we mobilized the family, we told, sang, and danced our stories of betrayal and bravery, of what God has done in our midst, and we will never be the same. My heart stirs when I remember the "Colors of Diversity" Day. The TV ads woke up twenty million people to the Episcopal Church. When I saw 120 women and men walking down the aisle at Grace Cathedral with the glorious needlepoint cushions, it was an unforgettable, grand sight. Standing on top of Nob Hill and looking back down California Street and seeing our banners and people filling the path from top to bottom, breathtaking!
Recently the Gold Award for the best advertising campaign in America was presented. This is a national competition for television and film media. Amorig this year's winners were AT&T, Chase Manhattan Bank, Mercedes Benz, and the Episcopal Diocese of California. "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You." This will not be our debut and finale. This is only the beginning.
Going to Golden Gate Park last month was a spectacle ofjoy and a fitting conclusion. Long ago we hoped that our 150th Anniversary would be a special time, and so we planned and worked. I would like to ask for everyone who planned or worked on any part of this celebration to stand and allow us to say "thank you."
One last comment: there willbe two sesquicentennial books coming out in the next months. One will be a history of our Diocese from the Gold Rush to the Millennium, authored by Judith Robinson. Another will be a collection of forty faith autobiographies of some our Diocesan members at this conspicuous moment of our history. I have read both of these books, and I can promise you that they will be jewels. Together these books constitute the closing chapter of our truly fabulous 150th Anniversary celebration.
DioCal 003965 II. The Past Year
This past year, from October 1999 to October 2000, was rock solid. Congregations flourished. Churches like Redeemer and St. Paul's, both in San Rafael, instituted child and family worship services on Sunday and' discovered great gxowth. St. Luke's, San Francisco, and St. John's, Oakland, had mixtures of Confirmations and Bar Mitzvahs — Confirm.itzvahs —and discovered energized young people. St. George's, Antioch, St. Mark's, Palo Alto, Holy Trinity, Richmond, St. Timothy's, Danville, and many other congregations continue to grow. Someone who is outside our church recently interviewed some of our clergy and then came into my office and exclaimed: "Do you have any idea of how blessed you are to have clergy of that high caliber?" True Sunshine, San Francisco, and Incarnation Church are now working together, and they have opened a large Chinese language school in the Sunset District. (True Sunshine in the True Sunset?) Good Shepherd, Berkeley, is working with a prisoner at Solano State Prison in Vacaville who wants to study for the priesthood, and is doing so. Katherine Ward fielded the best tap dancers in our history. St. Aidan's, San Francisco, St. Paul's, Walnut Creek, St. Mark's, Berkeley, St. Stephen's, Belvedere, St. Michael's, Concord, and Trinity, San Francisco, all surprised themselves with capital campaigns —netting over seven million dollars ...from six churches.
This is not to imply that we are without losses or not faced with crucial situations. In Hispanic ministry one of our priests, when faced with a mandatory retirement, led several of our congregations out. of the Episcopal Church and set himself up as the head of an independent church. After 132 years of serving the medical needs of the poor at St. Luke's Hospital, we are in a precarious moment and struggling for our survival. This. very weekend we are about to begin a major trial against the California Pacific Medical Center and Sutter Hospital Group. I especially want to thank the Board Chair, Philip Pillsbury, and the CEO, Jack Fries, for their outstanding leadership at this most crucial time.
In the Episcopal Homes Foundation, this year found the retirement of the Rev. Dr. John Fitterer as the Chair of the Board. Jack came here in 1980 to head the Dream of California, and for the last fifteen years he has been instrumental in the creation of Spring Lake Village and the San Francisco Towers. Also he and Karen donated the microfiche project that preserved past issues of the Pacific Church News, A marvelous career, and this Diocese is most grateful! Unfortunately, the Board of Directors of the Episcopal Homes Foundation is using this interim time to decide whether or not to drop some of its Episcopal connection in its practice of having an Episcopal priest as the Chair of the Board, a Chair who is engaged full time in operations. The tradition of Darby Betts and Jack Fitterer hangs in the balance today.
At this summer's General Convention in Denver, Colorado, the major event was the final agreement on full communion between the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and the Episcopal Church. Officially it was a mutual agreement around a statement entitled "Called to Common Mission." One of the most provocative and fresh contributions at General Convention, was the Diocese of California's document "Holy Relationships and the Authority of Scripture: A Response from the Diocese of California to the 1998 Lambeth Resolution I.l0.d on Human Sexuality." By the way, our Diocese is now engaged in the creation of three task force reports: (1) the rise of technology in the church; (2) the influx of other cultures, races, and languages in
6
DioCal 003966 the Diocese of California; and (3) the approaching interfaith relationships and their impact on the church. Two years from now, we will produce three theological papers in time for the next General Convention.
We would be remiss if we did not single out some conspicuous accomplishments. For instance, almost twenty-five years ago, the Rev. Gordon Lau set out to translate the Book of Common Prayer into Chinese. With the help of many others, including Baldwin Lau, Walter Hsi, and Franco Kwan, the Prayer Book in Chinese is finished. Also next month in Kathmandu, Nepal, the Rev. Sally Bingham will receive an award, presented by Prince Philip on behalf of International World Wildlife and the Alliance for Religion. And hats off to the Rev. Matthew Fox for adding Master's and Doctor of Ministry tracks for "Creation Spirituality and the Indigenous Mind" as well as a Master's track in "Creation Spirituality and Sacred Cinema." Pamela Cranston's book, Clergy Wellness and Mutual Ministry, is used by the Church Pension Fund in all dioceses of the Church, Finally, Scott Hayashi is a leader in the National CREDO Project, a clergy leadership effort.
In addition to all of the above, this past year was the year that Henry Ohlhoff House opened an addiction rehabilitation center fox women ...when monumental work progressed on the creation of the Episcopal School of the Peninsula, aforty-million dollar project ...when we tore down a building on 8th Street to make way for the construction of a major housing facility for homeless families, atwenty-one million dollar project ...when Nancy Eswein led us in painting the homes of elderly people at seven Christmas in April sites. And Grace Cathedral, after raising twenty-two million, dollars to complete the close, has raised almost nine million extra dollars to repair the roof, relead the stained glass, repair the exterior and rusted rebar, and create a visitors' center and a children's area, and relocate the bookstore.
In this past year, the Rev. Canon Michael Hansen did a superb job orchestrating the work of the Diocesan staff and bringing superb leadership to the total stretch of Diocesan ministry. Canon Holly McAlpen settled in as Diocesan Missioner, while she brought great wisdom and energy to multiple other ministries in the Diocese, Marilyn Belove retired as my Administrative Assistant,
and thanks be, Jane Kallgren arrived to help me inthe dizzying array of details that daily land on my desk.
Ray Cope, who handled so many issues for us over the years, died in our office at Christmas time. The Rev. Cal Rutherford retired as our Planned Giving Officer, and Richard Schaper succeeded him. Jo Hunter retired from that office as well.
Five years ago there were nine paid positions for youth ministers in our congregations. Today there are twenty-six youth ministers. Today eleven congregations have put money aside to hire youth ministers, but there are no more youth ministers available. This situation indicates that we have taken a radical turn in a youth direction. Julie Graham, Youth and Young Adult Ministries. Coordinator, is working now with a group of advisers to fashion a program of two years of internship in youth ministry and two years of seminary that would end in a theological degree. Following up on that theme is the effort by our Education Department to develop a Faith Formation Academy to train and certify Christian educators. A pilot program will begin this coming year. Plus there is a new Children's Advocacy Working Group, plus the Adult
7
DioCal 003967 Education curriculum "To Equip the Saints," plus Leadership Day, plus LEM Training, plus Education for Ministry, plus the Year C Epiphany curriculum, "Let It Shine," coming out next month. So many pluses. From what source? From Sue Singer. At the Feeding of the 5,000, grateful people who saw how that brilliant day was organized and who remember how amazingly the Wa11c to Grace was organized, began to chant, "Sue, Sue, Sue." How very, very appropriate was that appreciation.
As for me, it was a big year with all of the 150`h festivities and General Convention and the signing of the URI Charter. Mary and I just celebrated our 39th anniversary. Our family, from age ninety-one to one, is doing well. And I am very excited about all that lies ahead. Here is one fact that caught me by surprise this summer. It turns out that I have ordained more women than any bishop in the Anglican Communion. Also I have ordained more gay and lesbian people and more deacons than any bishop in the history of the Episcopal Church. So along with the quantity of years, I continue to strive for quality in the Episcopacy, God being my helper and Jesus Christ being the bishop and shepherd of us all.
III. The Jubilee Year
When the people of God stood on the mountain ready to go into the Promised Land, they, with Moses, their leader, declared that every fifty years there would be a Jubilee. During this time, all would be released from the burdens of time. Past financial debts? Forgiven! Dispossessed individuals? Let them come back, fully back into the family. Weariness in meeting everyday demands? A ripe Sabbath of genuine refreshment. Jubilee, jubilee! Oh, it was the fond hope of faith.
Unhappily, history doesn't bear witness of Jubilee becoming a marked reality. Just as youth soccer in California has cannibalized our Sunday mornings and pro football and busy commerce
replaced our Sabbaths, even so Jubilee got lost iriintramural scrimmages over sovereignty claims.
Nevertheless, the concept still is in the Spirit-filled air, to be breathed by longing lungs. Look around us. Lauren Artress imagining that the world was ready to take a labyrinth walk. Preposterous ...but Jubilee. Matthew- Fox starting a University of Creation Spirituality and buying a city block of downtown Oakland. Outrageous! ...but Jubilee. Sally Bingham authoring the Episcopal Power and Light Company. What a laugh! ...but Jubilee. Rick Fabian and Donald Schell gambling that unlikely friends of God can dance together architecturally and in reality. Silly! ...but Jubilee! Charles Gibbs sitting in a room with fourteen friends for three years, coming up with cone-sentence interfaith purpose statement intended to change world history. Absurd! Jubilee thinking is in the air here, in our midst, changing our life together.
We have just ended our Sesquicentennial Celebration. We are ending the 2000th birthday celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today I declare us to be in Jubilee. Every inch and ounce of life in the Diocese of California is invited into Jubilee thinking that might just turn into Jubilee living.
8 DioCal 003968 What will this look like? I will begin with the widest net thrown over all of the preposterous, outrageous, laughable, silly, impossible, absurd mission visions that burn in your hearts. We will collect them ...all ...and then discern, mostly by allowing the Holy Spirit to stir energy around the visions that endure.
For starters, here are a few of my own Jubilee thoughts. These are offered only to prime the pump of Jubilee thinking. I imagine a time when none of our seminarians will graduate with a student loan to pay. When we can clear up all the student loan debts of our deacons and priests. When we will have a seminary path for people of the forty languages spoken in our Diocese. When clergy will have a pool of money to draw from in order to afford to live in the Bay Area.
I can imagine a time when we will again be planting new congregations. When we will put high priority on church growth and church expansion. Just before I arrived, we closed the church in Fairfax. Then we closed the Church of the Ascension in Burlingame. We closed St. Barnabas' in San Francisco. We closed St. Patrick's, El Cerrito. This past year we closed St. Matthias', San Ramon. And we have not started one new surviving congregation at a time when the Bay Area has undergone a rapid expansion of population. Doesn't that bother us, we who are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ? What is going on here? It is time and high time to sit down and develop a coherent strategy and develop resources in order to bring about our central task. I urge this 151St Convention to call for a comprehensive Jubilee Mission and Ministry Strategy to be developed during the next twelve months. The Diocesan Council, Bishop, and Diocesan staff can work out the details of recruitment, proportional representation, subcommittees, etc. What I hope is that by this time next year we will have before us a well- thought-through Jubilee strategy for Mission and Ministry, and we can vote, can commit ourselves to a comprehensive approach that makes sense.
So many things to think about: the cost of buying land, the avalanche of secularism, the rise of other religions, comparisons with other Christians on mission, the cost of future television ads, the possibility of working with Lutherans, the independence of parishes and the dependence of missions, the extraordinarily high price of everything, the possibility of redefining our goals, the urgent need to meet ethnic opportunities, and on and on. Heretofore we have addressed almost all our issues from the perspective of one local unit at a time, be it an issue from clergy housing to land acquisition. Jubilee calls us out of the ordinary to think in larger terms. Are there things that we can do together that would ultimately strengthen the local unit? That is one half of the challenge to our thinking in the next twelve months, if this Convention so orders.
The other half of the challenge has to do with our Social Ministries and Jubilee. What gives rise to this is the fact that the Diocese of California is in the midst of a radical expansion of Social Ministries, so radical that we could operate at a breathtaking level. The old adage "nothing succeeds like success" applies. When I arrived, a tiny Episcopal Charities Appeal had just begun. It was a loose confederation of very independent social ministries, and for each one we raised a small amount of money. As those ministries began to mature, we hired afull-time Social Ministries Coordinator for the Diocesan staff to augment the work of the part-time Episcopal Charities Appeal Officer.
9
DioCal 003969 How things have changed. The Episcopal Charities dropped the word "Appeal" and is poised for a much larger destiny. Roy O'Shaughnessy, the Executive Director of Episcopal Charities, has moved the headquarters to Berkeley, where seven people work in the office. Now they are in conversation to set up a second headquarters in Redwood City, and are looking to set up another headquarters in Marin County.
As Bishop of California, I do believe that we are poised on the threshold of a vastly expanded social ministry. For instance, we could have every outreach project of every congregation under the umbrella of Episcopal Charities, giving us a chance to apply for funding that in the past would have been impossible. We could open our arms to embrace numerous social ministries in our communities, ministries which are looking for an anchoring organization. Instead of sending monies to the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief (now renamed Episcopal Relief and Development), we could send the money to the Episcopal Charities, which, in turn, could send it on to Episcopal Relief and Development. The result would be that the Episcopal Charities of the Diocese of California would come to be realized in public as a powerful force for human compassion. It presently is just that, but no one knows it. We could do so very much more if people knew it, if we could think comprehensively, if we grew up to admitting what we are doing and in whose Name we do it.
I urge this 1515 Convention to call for a Jubilee Social Ministries Strategy to be developed during the next twelve months. Again the Diocesan Council, the Bishop, and Diocesan staff, plus the Episcopal Charities Board will work out the details.
Furthermore, I urge the 151St Convention to create a Jubilee Steering Committee, a Jubilate Deo Committee, which will sit on top of both strategies, will estimate financial implications and resources, will encourage cooperation where there are occasions of overlapping visions, and will present to the 152"d Convention a total Jubilee proposal for our future, to be entertained and brought to decision.
For me, Jubilee is a call for us to think of ourselves as a Body and not just as limbs or fingers. Instead of being separated by the Golden Gate, San Francisco Bay, Dumbarton, San Mateo, and Richmond Bridges, to understand ourselves as being bridged across the natural boundaries. To think of ourselves as one. Jubilee is a time, whenever possible, to become adebt-free zone. Jubilee is a time to reconcile all our accounts. A time to learn what a Sabbath means in the 21St century. It is our unique opportunity to invest in our 200th Anniversary, the next Jubilee of the Diocese of California.
So here we are at our 151St Convention of the Diocese of California looking at three years. Our sesquicentennial year is past. Our regular year is past. Now I am, and I hope you are, raring to go —onto Jubilee Year! Amen.
Following his address, the Bishop invited Dennis Delman to give instruction on balloting and The Rev. Cn. Michael Hansen to give directions on the location of the break-out groups.
10 DioCal 003970 BREAK-OUT SESSIONS
1) Congregational Development/New Church Startup, led by Michael Hansen.
2) General Convention, led by the General Convention deputies.
3) Episcopal Charities, led by Roy O'Shaughnessy.

NOON PRAYER
Bishop Swing announced that all over the Anglican Communion at about this time we are asked for a minute of silent prayer for the people who are in the midst of the terrible trauma in the Middle East. The Saint Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Nablus and the Boys' School and the Girls' School in Ramallah, among others, are Episcopal organizations. So we ask for sixty seconds of silent prayer for those who are suffering in the Middle East,

YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES Jay Watan
When Julie Graham asked me to talk about young adult ministries, what eventually moved me was "calling." She reminded me that somehow God has called you into the life of the church, and that is what I want to talk about today. My name is Jay Watan. My profession, outside of the church, is that I am a U.S. pretrial officer. There is a reason why I want to share what I do for a living and share how that relates to me being an adult in this Diocese., In the past few years there has been a lot of discussion about the lack of young adults in the church. The theory going around is that we leave the church after high school and return after marriage. In general the church has accepted this theory, and yet, here I am, standing before you this afternoon, an active member of this church. There is a different story to be told, the story I would like to share with you. First, I am a young adult, but what exactly does that mean? In this Diocese it means being between the ages of eighteen to thirty. That's it! Within that we can be single, married, divorced, with children or without children. It's the age which defines us.
The blessing of this loose definition is the variety found in this group. Each of us has a unique perspective on life to share, and we are all joined under that umbrella we call young adulthood. Under this umbrella exist definitions that others have placed upon us: flighty, irresponsible, untraditional. In some ways these defnitions can be true, but these truths have deeper meanings, have deeper roots, which for the most part have not been explored by the church at large. It is essential that these truths be known. The first truth is that young adults are constantly in search of the real and the authentic. As a generation, we grew up with the advertising media hype, political scandals, and public heroes who have disappointed us and misled us. As a result,. young adults, searching for our own answers, are skeptics. We do not want to be fed answers by a generation that has broken our trust. We want the freedom to ask our own questions, knowing
12 DioCal 003972 they may never be answered, but also knowing that often the answer is not as important as the question. For us, the real, the authentic, the truth is found in the process of asking the question.
The second truth: this search for the real makes us transient.. It is an undisputable characteristic of our generation. We move from apartment to apartment, from job to job. Yet this mobile nature doesn't mean that we are irresponsible. In fact, it means quite the opposite. It is because of the high sense of responsibility that we feel for ourselves that we do move around. We desire to learn who we are, to find what is real and to use it to define ourselves. As we learn about new
things about ourselves, wehave to reevaluate our life situation and then move forward. In a sense we are students of life, moving from activity to activity in an attempt to learn and experience as much as possible and to define ourselves in relation to the world today:
There's a third truth: young adults long for community. We're childreri of divorce; we're latchkey kids. Many of us have grown up without a stable family environment, going from one parent to another, feeling that the only constant in our lives was our friendships. In young adulthood we continue to recognize friendships as a constant, and search for a sense of family in our community. We form non-traditional extended families made up of peers and mentors. We surround ourselves with loving, accepting people who offer us guidance, support and validation in our search for that truth. While this does not necessarily mean that it replaces traditional families, it's probably the most revealing characteristic about young adults. We need that warm nest.
YoLmg adults do have tradition, believe it or not. The timelessness of tradition offers stability in lives that are constantly moving and constantly changing. However, while we value tradition, often we will not accept it point blank. There is skepticism. Without an understanding of what tradition means, we cannot determine its value or accept it into our lives. As we find personal connections to that piece of tradition, we incorporate it into our lives, and that tradition becomes part of our own definition of who we are.
The fourth truth: we are a faithful and spiritual generation. Studies and surveys show that we are perhaps the most spiritual generation yet. The truths we search for, the questions we ask, the moves we make, the community we form are rooted in the Divine. However, the spirituality is not the traditional Christianity of our parents or grandparents. Young adults form their faith and explore their spirituality by combining practices and beliefs from many other .traditions, religions, philosophies. If we find a piece of a faith tradition that rings true to us, we incorporate it into the traditions we already practice. Christianity blends with Buddhism, which cari blend with Taoism, and on and on, to create a very personal faith tradition.
But what does that all mean? It means that we are, here. It means that eighteen to thirty-year= olds do not have to disappear from our congregations. We long to be part of your faith community. We long to explore and practice your traditions. We Long to ask our questions and search for truths within the structure of Christ's teachings. We seek the guidance of priests and elders. We long to learn from your wisdom and experience. We long to give our gifts to the community. This year the Young Adult Council of the Diocese, which consists of six people between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-eight, has taken on an ambitious mission, that is, to grow the young adult community in the Diocese by actively ministering and drawing attention to
13 DioCal 003973 young adults in need of faith development. We seek to bring the entire body of the church to the table, to open the eyes of the church to the gifts young adults have to offer, and to teach the church to use these gifts. Rather than passively waiting for folks between the ages of eighteen to thirty to grow up and come back to the. church later, we need to actively reach out to all members of our community.
The Young Adult Council does have a plan and it's threefold.
The first is to develop ministry and a sense of ownership. They have a program called Explore, which is a monthly ecumenical worship .service that meets in cafes all throughout the Bay Area. It is designed by a committee of young adults according to the needs of those who are present at that time.
Secondly, the Council has created a Young Adult Lobby. Pairs and groups of young adults will systematically visit each and every congregation in this Diocese in order to introduce young adult ministries,. to spread the news, and to show everyone what a young adult in this church looks like.
Lastly, we will have a specific track at Leadership Day next spring focused specifically on young adult ministries in our congregations. The main thrust of the Council's efforts, is to teach us that young adults do not need a separate community made for them. We've got it right here. Rather we need to learn to embrace each other's needs and differences. We need. to grow the church younger so that young adults may find a place in this existing community, one in which we are not only welcomed but included and depended upon and taken care of. I challenge you, as communities of faith, to seek out the young adults outside your doors and to ask them to come in. Make a space for young adults at your table. Make it a problem that we are not present in your congregation. Don't accept that we're gone a few years; don't assume that we'll be back. Be proactive. We need you and what you have to offer us, and we may have many gifts to offer back in return. There is hope for the church, and there is hope for young adults. Make ministering to young adults a top priority. The church has many specific ministries: children, youth, families, seniors; homeless, social services. I urge you to add young adult ministries to that list. With a little time and energy devoted to the needs of young adults, you are sure to be successful. Let's be prayerful about this, and then let's take some action. Thank you,
WELCOME TO NEW PARISH Deborah Frangquist
Bishop Swing and Delegates to Convention, the congregation of Saint Bartholomew's, Livermore, has applied for admission as a parish, in union with this Convention, and it is my pleasure to inform you that Saint Bartholomew's has been recommended by the Department of Missions and the Department of Finance of the Diocese and that their admission as a parish has been approved by the Standing Committee and by the Bishop. Therefore, I move that this Convention admit Saint Bartholomew's, Livermore, as a parish in union with this Convention and this Diocese. MSC.
14 DioCal 003974 The Rev. Carol Cook was invited to speak.
"We are not making a big to-do today because we are an introverted little parish, but we are proud. No balloons. What a good thing it is to be part of this Diocese. A number of years ago, I was a member of another church in a big financial crisis and I was working on solutions with Bill Geisler, and he said, `You know this Diocese lives for the success of the parish. Everything we do we do so that parishes will succeed and prosper. Your achievements are our triumphs.' It surprised me at the time because I hadn't thought of it in exactly those terms. But everything that I've seen or encountered since that day has put the truth to that statement. Five years ago Saint Bartholomew's was stuck. Thanks to our Diocese and the terrific efforts of innumerable people, today we are celebrating the fact -that with a lot of help and prayer we are now unstuck. It's a small thing to say; it's a big thing to do.
"The Department of Missions, starting with Thomas Skillings and now Jack Eastwood, starting with Ruth Eller and now Holly McAlpen, with every loving volunteer and every person kind enough to take on those jobs, has been with us and for us every step of the journey. They encourage us, they admire our progress, they commiserate on our setbacks, they give good advice, they stand by with resources to throw at problems if they are needed, and not if they're not. They are the epitome of good missioners, and they are good friends to us. We-are blessed to have them.
"The people of Saint Bartholomew's are equally amazing. They are fine and smart and holy and brave. They are towers of prayer and good stewards and good ministers and good friends to each other and to the world. Now I don't want you to think they are perfect; they still don't like to learn new hymns. But other than that, they are just the finest, and you can be very proud to have them in your Diocese. And finally I have to thank every one of you for your faithful prayers, your interested inquiries,.your attention and your concerns, and your fellowship with us that has encouraged us in our journey and heartened us beyond all measure. So we thank each and every
one of youfor this day. We are very proud to be part of you.
"No balloons. No horns. Yes, we brought a couple of horse heads from the Rodeo Day parade -- just to show that we are not complete poops. (A member of the audience said, `That's why you only brought the heads?' I respond, `We're Anglicans; we only use the heads.') But mostly what we are today is quietly proud and very grateful and very pleased on this day to be here. So thank you all for everything. Today Livermore, tomorrow the world."

15 DioCal 003975 REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN TREASURER William E. Cannady
It is a pleasure to tell you that the Diocese continues to do well financially.
The 1999 budget year ended with a surplus in excess of $100,000. This surplus helps offset a series of deficits and raises our working capital back to a level in excess of $500,000. We have achieved this result while continuing to raise the lower bracket of the assessment formula, as mandated by the 1994 Convention, to allow more income to stay in the congregations. This bracket increase reduces assessment income to the Diocese by about $30;000 per year, or 1.0% of our current budget.
Hood &Strong, CPA, has completed the 1999 audit. All funds of the Diocese are audited annually and the audit has been satisfactorily completed.
The investment firm of Stein, Rowe & Farnum manages the major portion, approximately $20 million, of the endowment funds of the Diocese. Another $4.5 million is invested in a Vanguard index fund. Kaspick &Company continues to manage the Planned Giving Trust. Their perfol~nances are reviewed quarterly by the Investment Review Committee of the Board of Directors. Long-term performance continues to be satisfactory,
The Corporation Sole, under the direct control of the Bishop, has lines of credit with Wells Fargo Bank and Sanwa Bank of California. Congregations and institutions that meet certain criteria use these lines of credit for short-term borrowing for capital improvement projects. The term of these loans is usually three years or less. Currently twelve units are using these lines of credit.
The Treasurer's Office is pleased to continue to serve the Diocese. This has been a year of turnover and adjustment. There has been a complete change in the staffing of the Treasurer's Office since our last convention. Ray Cope, who had assumed the Payroll and Benefits position after the resignation of Caroline Talbot, died suddenly this past December. In March, our staff accountant, Vicki Gonzalez, resigned. On June 1, Hannah Lamson took over as Staff Accountant, and Sarah Crawford became Payroll and Benefits Coordinator on August 1. Jim Forsyth, our Controller, and I would like to thank all the staff, including Herb Cochran, our volunteer, for their work during this difficult period. I particularly wish to thank Adriene Roche for her willingness to take charge of the Payroll and Benefits position, along with her audit responsibilities, until a replacement for Ray could be found. Both Jim and I hope that 2001 will be a year free of changes.
This is my final report to Convention as Treasurer of the Diocese. After ten years of service in this capacity and all the changes this year in the office, it is high time for a change at the top. The Diocese is exceedingly fortunate to have as incoming .Treasurer a very experienced banker, Mr. James Wall. Jim has been President and CEO of Bank of Los Altos, which was recently sold to a bank in San Jose. He is currently organizing a-new bank, which will operate on the mid-Peninsula.. He has been Chair of the Diocesan Department of Finance, and he and his wife, Anne, are very active in church affairs on the Peninsula.
16 DioCal 003976 It is not without some sadness that I bid you farewell. My service to the Diocese goes back some twenty years, and over this time it has been a real pleasure to be associated with so many wonderful people. You.know who you are, and you know that I love you. My very best wishes to you all.
REPORT ON CANONS Phillip S. Boone, Jr., Esq.
The Committee on Canons has proposed two amendments to the Canons. The first one is an amendment to Canon XX, which regards the establishment of a Diocesan Archives. We have an Archivist but we have never had any canons that regulate the management of the archives. This amendment would add a section, which is included in the blue book.
Bishop _Swing asked that the first canon be read and then discussed and voted upon:
Sec. 19.10. Diocesan Archives. There shall be an Archives of the Diocese of California, the purposes of which shall be to preserve by safekeeping, arrange and have available necessary legal documents and items, and useful historical papers and materials of the Diocese of California, its bishops, officials and agencies.
a) The day-to-day activities and work of the Archives shall be conducted by an Archivist who shall be selected by the Bishop and confu~~ied by Diocesan Council. The Archivist shall serve at the pleasure of the Bishop.
b) The work of the Archivist shall include, but not be limited to, the following: securing, organizing, safeguarding and controlling access to the material in the .collection; preparing and proposing opexating policies .for approval by the Bishop and Diocesan Council; reporting on the condition and work of the Archives; and advising congregations and Diocesan institutions and other organizations as to records retention and archives policies regarding their documents and materials.
c) The general records retention policies of the Diocese shall be as follows:
1) Records and materials of the Diocese and its departments, commissions, committees and other organizations designed to represent and/or interact with -the whole Diocese shall be retained by the Diocesan Archives. 2) Records and materials of defunct Diocesan organizations, including congregations, shall be retained by the Diocesan Archives, subject to .applicable policies. 3) Active separate organizations, such as congregations and institutions, are expected to retain their own papers and materials.
d) When papers and materials are transferred to the Archives, the originator shall indicate any materials which are to be considered confidential and they shall be subject to applicable policies.
17
DioCal 003977 e) Access to materials is left to the discretion of the Archivist, the Bishop and the Executive Officer of the Diocese, and subject to applicable policies.
MSC to adopt the above canon.
The second canon, which would be a change to Canon XX, concerns the health and life insurance and lay pension. In October 1996, the Diocese added a domestic partner provision to the canon. This was done just prior to the adoption of regulations by the City and County of San Francisco. The City's regulations prohibit requiring employees with domestic partners to do anything that a married person doesn't have to do. So the requirement that was in the canon, that an employee file a statement of domestic partnership with the Finance Department of the Diocese, is improper undex the City's rules, and this amendment would eliminate that requirement. It would be replaced with a provision that any eligible employee or cleric has to comply with the requirements of the Personnel Manual to qualify for domestic partnership benefits. Again, this is to bring the Canons of the Diocese in line with the applicable law in San Francisco.
Old Canon 20.04(b) For purposes of Canon XX, immediate family dependents shall include domestic partners provided that an eligible cleric or employee files with the Department of Finance a statement of domestic partnership in a form designated by the Department of Finance.
That proviso would be stricken and in its place~would be the following:
New Canon 20.04 (b) For purposes of Canon XX, immediate family dependents shall include domestic partners provided that an eligible cleric or employee complies with the requirements of the Personnel Manual.
MSC to adopt this amendment,
REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL PRACTICES COMMITTEE Barbara B. Creed, Esq.
My sole duty this afternoon is to move the adoption of the proposed salary resolution, which you will find on page 17 of the convention booklet. This is the resolution that we adopt annually that reflects the adjustment in the minimum salary levels to address the changes in the Bay Area cost of living.
Ted Thompson, Christ Church, San Francisco, asked the Chair to mention the proposed schedule as well as the mandatory schedule. Barbara Creed explained that last year the Convention approved a set of voluntary minimum standards to be implemented on a voluntary basis over a phase-in period. This resolution reflects the existing canon which is a different set of minimum
18 DioCal 003978 standards. We will also be publishing later, this year acost-of-living adjusted schedule for the voluntary program.
The resolution was MSC.
Following is the written report:
During the past year the Committee's work has focused on two areas: .
• The employee benefit programs; and • Ongoing consideration of issues arising out of the minimum standards for clergy compensation which were approved by the 150" Annual Convention.
Employee Benefit Programs
In prior years the Committee's greatest challenge has been dealing with escalating costs of the health care coverage offered by the Diocese. This year proved to be no exception. Although the Diocese experienced _nominal or no cost increases in the short-term disability, long-terlii disability, life insurance, accidental death and dismembermerit and dental coverage, the rates for health care coverage again experienced double-digit cost increases.
In September the Committee was advised that the increases for our current health care programs were as follows: Aetna 14.9%;- Blue Shield 12.2%; Kaiser 11.25%.
Earlier in the year, we had instructed our consultant, Joan Jacobson of Marsh, to conduct a marketing survey of health care coverage. We were particularly concerned that the cost of the Aetna coverage — it already was the most expensive of our offerings —made it imperative that we identify an alternative. In addition, the Committee had continuing concerns about Aetna's service and coverage. In September, Joan reported that coverage comparable to the Aetna coverage could be obtained through PacifiCare for a significantly lower premium. After careful consideration, the Committee recommended to Council that the Aetna contract be discontinued and PacificCare substituted, effective January 1, 2001. This change will be implemented in the open enrollment process conducted later -this year. The open enrollment materials will have more detailed information about the costs and coverage changes for 2001. We expect that some individuals who are currently covered by Aetna will have to change their personal care physicians, but we have determined that PacifiCare's service area is as extensive as Aetna's.
The market for HMO Medicare contracts continues to be very turbulent. Aetna and Blue Shield have discontinued offering any Medicare risk coverage. PacifiCare has a Medicare risk program (Senior Horizons), but it is widely reported to be financially shaky and may not be available after 2001. Accordingly, our over-65 retirees have a more limited selection of offerings for their health coverage: Kaiser, PacifiCare Senior Horizons, Blue Shield Medicare Supplement, the Church Pension Fund (clergy only), and individual policies.
We note that there are almost eighty retired clergy for whom the Diocese pays the entire cost of their retiree medical coverage. The proposed 2001 Diocesan budget includes $100,000 for this
19 DioCal 003979 expense. The Committee recommends that the Diocese obtain an actuarial study to estimate the future cost of this benefit for current and projected future retired clergy.
Clergy Compensation
During the past year the Committee has met several times to discuss issues relating to the program for minimum standards on clergy compensation which was approved by Convention in 1999. Some of the issues we considered were raised by delegates to Convention in 1999; others were topics raised by individual members of our Committee. Two developments are significant:
The Committee has received an opinion from the Chancellor that it will not be necessary to adopt an amendment to the Diocesan canons in order to implement the minimum standards program.
The Committee has determined that it will recommend that when the minimum standards become mandatory after the voluntary phase-in period, there will not be a separate mechanism for a church to appeal for relief from the minimum standards. The Committee discussed this issue extensively at two separate meetings and determined that it would be unduly divisive to have a separate appeal mechanism. Therefore, the "safety valve" mechanism for all issues relating to the minimum standards will be the Assessment Appeals process.
Thank you for this opportunity to report on the work of the Committee this year. I would like to express my personal gratitude to the members of our excellent Committee: Joan Clerlc, the Rev. Pamela Cranston, the Rev. Canon Tony Litwinski, Tom Matthews, Holly McAlpen, Kathleen Murray, the Rev. Robert E. Reynolds, Gwen Saunders, and the Rev. Stacey Grossman. Special . thanks to Jim Forsyth, Diocesan Controller, who has provided tremendous support during this year to the work of our Committee. The Committee continues to be extremely ably served by our consultant, Joan Jacobson of Marsh. Many thanks also to Melissa Ridlon, our Committee's liaison from Diocesan Council.
Bishop Swing remarked that Barbara Creed is also working with him on the campaign for the homeless family facility, which will cost $21 million, and we're up to about $18 million now. We've got about $3 million to raise, and Barbara is working hard on that.
REPORT OF THE DIVISION ON PROGRAM AND BUDGET Paul Evans and James Forsyth
Paul Evans began by saying that we have two items of business: the first one is to propose the assessment formula for next year, and the second is to approve the budget, Paul read the proposed assessment formula on page 18 of the.blue book.
20 DioCal 003980 Assessment Formula for 2001
1. 5% assessment on the first $48,350 of a parish or mission's operating income for 2000 as defined on Line B of the parochial report, net of Diocesan subsidies;
2. 20% assessment on all such income above $48,350 provided that
3. no parish or mission shall have an increase over 2000's initial assessment before appeals of more than 50% or $15,000, whichever is less.
The Bishop called for discussion.
David Frangquist, Saint Aidan's, San Francisco, moved to amend the assessment formula on page 18 of the convention booklet: in clause 1, strike out "Line B of the parochial report, net of Diocesan subsidies," and substitute "Line A of the parochial report."
Controller Jim Forsyth said the amendment clarifies the new parochial report.
The amendment was MSC.
The Assessment Formula was MSC,but not unanimously.
Paul Evans, Chairman of Program and Budget, presented the 2001 Diocesan Budget. The Bishop called for discussion. There was. none. The budget was MSC. Bishop Swing thanked Paul Evans and Jim Forsyth.
DESTRUCTION OF OLD BALLOTS
Bishop Swing then explained that we always ask the Convention if it is okay to destroy old ballots. We never asked you if we could destroy the ballots of 1966 and 1999. He moved that these ballots be destroyed. MSC.
He then moved that the ballots of this year's election also be destroyed. MSC.
COURTESY RESOLUTIONS The Rev. Jack Eastwood and the Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck

Dr. Bonnie Ring, Chair, which prepared the document entitled Holy Relationships and the Authority of Scripture: the California Report, which was a response by the Diocesan Convention in 1998 to the resolution on human sexuality from the 1998 Lambeth Conference. MSC.
COMMISSION ON MINISTRY APPOINTMENTS
Bishop Swing announced that he has reappointed to the Commission on Ministry Jane Brooks, Ph.D., Saint Clements, Berkeley, and the Rev. Joseph Lane, Saint Bede's, Menlo Park. He also announced a new appointment to the Commission on Ministry: Carl Zachrisson, Ph.D., Saint Mary the Virgin, San Francisco.
PRESIDING BISHOP'S MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM Nathan Ensign
Thank you, Bishop Swing and Michael Hansen, for allowing us to do this today. I have been working with this Diocese for five years now; this is our second graduation of the candidates for the Leadership Program for Musicians Serving Small Congregations. It is now being jointly run with the Lutherans, and in the year 2001 we hope to have a program in this Diocese with the Lutherans, since we are in joint fellowship with them at this time. There are presently over 275 graduates in the United States. We in this Diocese now have sixteen. It is a series of six courses over two years that these people give up their Saturdays once a month to take; learning new things in liturgy, how to direct choir, how to play better or even lead congregational song a Capella, resources for a wide variety of ways to make them better musicians.
We have some former graduates as well as teachers here with us today. Now if the candidates will come forward, Bishop Swing will present their certificates. The candidates are: Simon F. Bate, Christ Church, Los Altos; Diane M. Loehr, Holy Family, Half Moon Bay; Laurie K. Neuenschwander, Saint George's, Antioch; Jane Rosenblum, Saint Mark's, Berkeley (she cannot be here today); Vaughn Elliot Wolff, Saint Edward the Confessor, San Jose; D. Allen Wyly,
22
DioCal 003982 formerly at Grace Church, Martinez and now at the Church of our Saviour in Placerville. Thank you for the honor given them. This is an ongoing program which does make a difference in the parishes. You will be hearing more about this program, which is called LPM. If you would like further information, please contact me. I am on the national board, but I am working at. Saint Paul's in the Desert in Palm Springs. I would be glad to talk to you about the program locally, because I will also be working with this Diocese to continue the program.
Bishop Swing asked the Convention to stand for adjournment.
"O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven, be ever present with your servants who seek through music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth. And grant them even now glimpses of your beauty and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled forever, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
"The blessing, mercy and grace of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be amongst you and remain with you always. Amen,"
The 151St Convention is adjourned.

DioCal 003984 General Convention Report for'1515` Convention of the Diocese of California
Each General Convention is its own peculiar organism, with a distinctive personality. Several factors influenced the character of this one in Denver. This convention was the first since Presiding Bishop Griswold's election. It was also the last convention for the retiring president of the House of Deputies, Pamela Chinnis. The convention was also influenced by the aftermath of the gathering of Anglican bishops for the most recent Lambeth conference. If I had to select a single work to characterize this general
convention, it would be irenic.There was an unspoken consensus that we would make headway peaceably. And, by God's grace, we were able to do so.
It can scarcely be overestimated how formative our daily worship was to the conduct of the business of convention. The daily lections were all focused on group discussions following. Our liturgical gatherings set the tone for our legislative gatherings.
The great highlights of Denver, of course, were headed by our passing the Call to Common Mission(CCM), establishing a new level of communion between us and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). We made our decision in the same space in which they had done so the previous summer. Or agreement establishes a precedent among denominations and provides a model for reconciliation among Christians which celebrates our diversity while it honors our unity.
The work of special committee 25, which was reassigned all the pending legislation on human sexuality, was another watershed for us. The committee, broadly representative of the church, held many open hearings, listened carefully, and worked diligently to craft a document which could be armed by as many as possible. Although the eighth resolve, calling for draft liturgies for the blessing of same-sex unions, was narrowly defeated, the document which was passed does provide the necessary theological foundation for the church's celebration and pastoral support of holy relationships of different kinds. While the legislation was groundbreaking in itself, it was broadly embraced, because the committee had provided a discerning piece of inclusive legislation.
Many and various pieces of Jubilee legislation were passed and have been widely publicized by now. Perhaps most noteworthy was our commitment to double the baptized membership ofthe church by 2020!
The Diocese of California contributed in many ways. Two stand out. The California Report: A Response to Lambeth was widely disseminated and appreciated as a resource in the consideration of those issues before Committee 25. Also, the work of our Diocesan Ad Project received a lot of attention and provided a ready resource for the rest of the church.
The next General Convention will be held in Minneapolis in the summer of 2003. On behalf of the entire deputation, I than you for the opportunity to serve the dioces and the church in this way.

Three years ago,ECA undertook a study to review the effectiveness of the organization and to determine options for the future. The result was to restn~cturc the organization so that it could dramatically increase its ability to help nonprofits and to rename it Episcopal Charities(EC). In addition to raising and distributing funds to the existing agency afiiliatcs, EC would provide vitally needed core office services —Administrative, Development and Financial — to a broad spectrum of nonprofit agencies in the Bay Area. The main challenge facing these agencies with budgets under $2 million is sound fiscal management, administration and fund raising capabilities.

First, on behalf ofthe Board and all Episcopal Church Women, many thanks and blessings to Elise Green, our President. Elise began the year with helping the Hoard rralize our "paradigm shift" in the realm of women's spirituality. Mid-year, Elise resumed her battle with cancer. Our continued prayers for her as she rccuperaies. As the President-Elect, I have assumed the lead in tarrying forward our renewed mission. The highlights ofthis last year include: • Spring Luncheon and UTO Ingatlteting at St. Augustine's, Oakland • a two-part $oard Retreat, facilitated by our Chaplain; Beth Hansen • award of 510,000 UTO Grant to Sojourner House • presentation of our very own Honored Woman,Helen Young at the ECW Triermial • our Board representation at the. Et:,'W Triennial meeting in Denver At our Spring Luncheon, we took the opportunity to explore and express "the Gifts of Joy and Wonder in All God's Work" by acknowledging, praising and giving thanks for the numerous prograrru of outreach in parishes throughout this Diocese. The theme, taken from our Triennial Meeting helped to reinforce our purpose and mission...THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SFIRTT WORKING AMONG US,...OUR MLSSION...JS TO NURTURE SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND TO SUPPORT THE WOMEN OF Tl-iE DIOCESE BY RECOGNIZWG THEIR NEEDS AND CELEBRATING THEIR DIVERSITY. We host day care, centers, soup kitchens, prayer groups, book clubs, homeless shelters, pot tuck dinners and breald'ast, and Comfort for Aids. We continue to make history as we unite the women of the Episcopal Church in this Diocese. During our Board Retreat at the Bishop's Ranch, we revisited our favorite Hible stories and our favorite hymns. We looked at our successes. We analyzed our pitfalls. We traveled through the many seasons of ECW,its traditions and its leaders. We made a commitment to refocus our energies from just fiuidraising to spirit t~ising. Part 2 0l'our Retreat was held at Grace Cathedral on a Saturday, with lunch compliments of Webvan.com—a new tradition maybe? We continued our planning for the future, incorporating the many needs of all women in this Diocese, even those who have yet to fend us. What programs and activities should we add to our repertoire? What can we do to enhance our relevance is today's changing world? Part ofthe answer is that we continue to honor our leaders and humbly but proudly hold high, our success stories. We honored one such.leader, HeleaYoung, by selecting her as THE honored woman for our Diocese and presented her to the ECW Triennial meeting in Denver. Helen Young has served her church on all levels—parish, Deanery, Diocesan, Provincial and Narional. She has shared her gigs in a manner that exemplifies our purpose, our mission and our spirituality. And we shared her with the test of our church. DioCal 003991 i want to take this opportunity to thank the following Board members who will be cmnpleting their terms of office at the end of this year. Elise Greeq Anne Reisman, Grwenyth Page, Barbara Budach, Constance Rider, and Vivian Traylor. Their contributions have been boundless. The 2040 Triennial Meeting ofthe Episcopal Church Women opened on July S, 2400 in the Denver Convention Center. The opening celebration included a diversity ofsong and acandle- lighting ceremony in remembrance of people in the world involved in various ministries and struggles. During the Eucharist we renewed our Baptismal Covenantthe theme for our gathering. Barbara Chiodo, Mary Jane Chetelat, Julie Many and I represented this Diocese at this awesome event. We attended workshops on leadership, retreat planning, the Anglican Rosary, Liturgical Clowning, networking, recording history, and The Blessing. The UTO provided grants totaling $3,475,948.5 to over 240 programs throughout the Anglican Communion. We elected new National Board Officers. We enjoyed special dinners, wonderful concerts and celebrations. We passed a resolution to adopt a pledge of nonviolence, a resolution to review the pros and cons ofchanging the duration of the Triennial Meeting, a resolution to assist with funding young women delegates to future Triennia! Meetings and a resolution to reinstitue the QPfice of Women's Ministries. We met old friends and we met new friends. We prayed, we sang, we azgued, we discussed and we discovered that we are npt alogC j~ qy; 8rowin8 P~li's- The Gifts we carne away with are too numerous to list, but I think I speak for all when I say that we fell truly blessed to be a part of the 43'~ Triennial. My hope for thi$ coming year: we all `find wbat Gifts we have and give them away'. May we contittue to proclaim our Iard and to do His work. Thanks Be to God! Submitted by: Kasen D. McNeal-Luokett President-Elect ECW Board, Diocese of California DioCal 003992 Grace Cathedral —Report to the Diocesan Convention The Building: The most obvious and visible thing about the cathedral is the scaffolding. We are in the process of restoring and waterproofing the walls — a project that is long overdue. We are already halfway through, many of the stained-glass windows have been restored and the roof over the North Transept and Great Choir have been replaced. We are excited about the new look to the crypt with its conference center, rooms for family ministry, and the new gift shop. A11 this is costing in excess of $9 million and we already have $8 million in cash or pledges. Our long-term needs will only be met with an increase in endowment but in the short-term we have done very well. Our Growing ministries: The cathedral congregation continues to grow as does our base of support in the wider community. Veriditas and the Labyrinth Project is known all over the world and our connection with the Cathedral of Our Lady at Chartres means a great deal to us. GraceCom has made a significant place for us on the Web and received a grant of $1.6 million which assures its future for the next five years. It was very gratifying that GraceCom won an award for the TV spots about the Episcopal Church. We are also exploring new possibilities for liturgy and education as well developing a growing program for children and families (our summex "Bible School" program was a great success.) The cathedral sees itself as a place of witness (the special service for Matthew Shepherd and the recent rally with Sister Helen Prejean in conjunction with the death penalty and the premiere of the opera Dead Man Walking). We also had groups visiting both Nicaragua and South Africa. The Cathedral School for Boys is doing well and is seen more and more as a ministry of the cathedral. Focus on the Public Conversation: The cathedral Sunday Morning Forum Program deserves special mention. We are deepening our vocation as a meeting place or crossroads for the culture and our guests have ranged from Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, Jack Spong, Matthew Fox and Rosemary Radford Ruether to Jane Goodall and Marion Wright Edelman. Shelby Steele spoke about entitlements, others about the Knight Initiative. Dr. Dean Ornish reminded us about the connection between health and intimacy. Mary Bitterman represented PBS and Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane told us about South Africa. Among politicians, Mayor Willie Brown, supervisors Tom Ammiano and Mark Leno, representative Jackie Speier, and former senator Alan K. Simpson were our guests. Local journalists were represented by Hank Plante, Rob Morse, Stephanie Salter on "All the News That's Fit to Print - Or Not." Frorn the business and financial community we welcomed, Bill Joy, co- founder &chief scientist Sun Microsystems, Tom &Kate Chappell and Claude Rosenberg. The Cathedral is Bishop's Church: The ministry of the episcopate continues to a focus of the life of the cathedral not least in our bishop's commitment to the United Religions Initiative, the Homeless Families Project, the new vision for Episcopal Charities. Evangelism with an inclusive gospel vision has high value for us as does the important work of reimagination of our faith. Finally, we said good-bye to our much-loved organist John Fenstermaker (who took early retirement). I completed fifteen years as dean and had a new book published, Living the Truth. I continue to be fed and stimulated by a vibrant and caring community.

At Diocesan Convention 1999, we elected the Reverend Richard Leslie president and Deborah Gavrin Frangquist vice-president. Late in December, Richard Leslie accepted a call to leave St. James, Fremont and become rector of St. Mary's-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove, in the Diocese of EI Camino. As Deborah became president, Anne Reisman accepted the position of vice- president and the Reverend Gerald Shaon agreed to complete the remainder of Richard Leslie's term. We are grateful to both of them for their excellent service this year. Avery special thanks goes to the Reverend Steven Strane for serving as secretary of Standing Committee for the entire yeaz; the promptness and accuracy of minutes and correspondence have been in his capable hands and have eased the Committee's work considerably. The most important transitions of the year have been, as always, those of postulants and candidates for holy orders. It is the canonical responsibility of Standing Committee to approve requests for candidacy and ordination, upon the recommendation of the Commission on Ministry. It is our privilege and pleasure to interview the women and men who seek to serve God as deacons and priests of the Episcopal Church. During the past year, we approved four people for ordination to the priesthood, six for ordination to the transitional diaconate, five for ordination to the vocational diaconate, and twelve for candidacy for ordination. Members of the Committee also participated as interviewers in the Commission on Ministry's Vocations Conference of Februazy, 2000, which makes recommendations to the Bishop regazding admission to postulancy. Committee members also stay in close contact with the Commission on Ministry and the Vocations Coordinator throughout the year, sending a liaison person to each Commission meeting and consulting with Commission members as appropriate. Deborah met with Dr. Ron Johnson, chair of the Commission, to discuss Committee concerns about the ordination process and to increase communication between the two bodies. Commission members attended the Committee's reception, at the May 20 Ministry Conference, for postulants and candidates. Our collegial relationship is not only a pleasure for members of the Commission and Committee, it also, we believe, contributes positively to the formation process of postulants and candidates for holy orders. Communication with Bishop Swing and Canon Hansen, as well as other members of diocesan staff, are also important to the smooth conduct of the Committee's work. The president meets monthly with the Bishop, whenever he is in town, and we maintain contact by phone at other times. At the March, 2000 meeting of the Standing Committee, both the bishop and the executive officer presented a briefing to Standing Committee about the work of the diocese, including the extensive chazitable and social justice ministries. Bishop Swing also briefed the Committee on his appraisal of the events and conversations of General Convention and on certain actions and statements of Anglican bishops internationally. DioCal 003994 (Standing Committee report to Diocesan Convention, p. 2) Among our other canonical duties is giving consent to episcopal elections in other dioceses of the church. During the year we received and responded to over a dozen requests to hold elections or for approval of bishops-elect. As we approach this Diocesan Convention, we have started to review our procedures of the past five years, in which we have asked bishops-elect to provide us with their opinions on certain matters of interest to the national church before we act to approve their election. In recent months we have also paid considerable attention to scholarships for theological study, specifically in our capacity as trustees of the Eastman Educational Fund. ~e have researched the history of that fund, sought Iegal advice on the scope of our discretion with the monies, and considered the educational needs of both those seeking ordination and others whose ministries will benefit from formal theological study. with the bishop, who is also a trustee of the fund, we will continue to pursue this matter. In closing, l wish to thank all the members of Standing Committee with whom I have served over the last four years, Pishop Swing, Canon Hansen, Ron Johnson, and the members of diocesan staff, who have been unfailingly cheerful and helpful in :Waking our work not only possible but enjoyable. It has been a privilege to serve on the Standing Committee, and I am grateful to Diocesan Convention, for electing me, and to God for the opportunity to be of service. ~;. Deborah Gavrin Frangquist President, Standing Committee of the Diocese of California DioCal 003995 Department of Stewardship Report to Convention October 21, 2000 The current program of the Department of Stewardship consists of a stewardship track for Leadership Day, an autumn "Panic Session", Clergy Group Education, and individual stewardship consulting for the congregations of the Diocese. We also maintain a Stewardship Resource Center. Leadership Day 2000 was a little disappointing because our keynote speaker, The Rt. Rev. Mark MacDonald of Alaska, was unable to attend at the last minute. The Rev. C. Robbins Clark, Department Chair, took his place and did a wonderful job despite the short notice. Members of the Department led workshops that included Scriptural Basis for Stewardship I & II, Essentials of Stewardship, Multi-Cultural Aspects of Stewardship- A Panel Discussion, Year Round Stewardship, and a Round Table Discussion —Sharing Ideas and Experience. In September, we led a "Panic Session" (attended by representatives from 5 congregations) for those who were unable to attend Leadership Day. We conducted two Clergy Stewardship Workshops as part of the ongoing three-year Clergy Stewardship Education Program. As the current group has almost finished its third year, we are evaluating the program and developing a list of participants for the next one. This program provides rectors and vicars with skills needed to lead their congregations in stewardship. The biggest change for the Department this year has been the implementation of a multiple consultant model. This will ultimately enable us to increase the number and the diversity of the congregations we reach. There are currently 5 consultants who provide stewardship consulting (up to 20 hours/year, paid by the Diocese) to congregations who request our help. This year, so far, 12 congregations have taken advantage of the program. In addition, we have developed a referral list of outside consultants for capital campaigns. We are currently talking with the Education Department about developing a stewardship curriculum for Lent. Respectfully submitted by, Lauran Puke DioCal 003996 CLERGY WELLNESS COMMISSION REPORT 2000 to THE 151ST DIOCESAN CONVENTION The Clergy Wellness Commission (CWC)was established in 1992 by the Convention of this Diocese to address the well being of parish clergy and their families/partners and to support the health and mutual ministry of congregations in the Diocese of California. The commission is currently chaired by the Rev. Pamela Lee Cranston and meets six times per year. The Clergy Wellness Commission has made good progress in 1999-2000. 1) January and October of 2000 saw the publication of the 3`d and 4th revised editions of Clergy Wellness and Mutual Ministry: A Resourcefor Clergy and Congregations. These editions have been expanded and corrected to include information about the Parental and Family Medical Leave Act, how vestries and clergy might do a Mutual Ministry Review, about our Mentor Program and additional resources and links about wellness on the Internet. Over 2,000 copies of the book have been sold since its first printing in 1996. Another 1,000 were printed in October, 2000,the sales of which will repay for any new printings. 2) The Office of Church Development at "815", Episcopal Church Headquarters has bought over two hundred copies of Clergy Wellness and Mutual Ministry, and by September 2000, had sent them to all Bishops and Provincial Leaders in the Episcopal Church. Other denominations and the Anglican Church in Canada have also used this book as a resource. 3) Beginning last Fall of 1999, the CWC started a pilot Mentor Program under the direction of the Rev. John Gallagher. Currently there are 8 new clergy being mentored and 8 volunteer clergy mentors. The clergy mentors include: the Revs Henry Bayne, Jan Cazden, Arlinda Cosby,Pamela Cranston, Mary Moore Gaines, John Gallagher, Chris McManus,and Kathleen Van Sickle. The purpose of the mentor program is to assist new clergy in the Clergy-in-Training Program in their effort to be faithful and effective in ministry, at the same time maintaining and enhancing their own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Our idea is not to replace the Clergy-in-Training Program but to augment it. Many thanks to all who participate in this ground breaking program. 4) Clergy Wellness Commission members continue to do education around the Diocese: • Pamela Cranston and John Gallagher presented a workshop entitled "Growing Healthy Congregations" at the Diocesan Leadership Day at Grace Cathedral on May 20~' with about 25 people in attendance. The workshop was rated excellent. • In the spring, John Gallagher worked closely with St. James, SF vestry and the Rev. Mary Moore Gaines to do a Mutual Ministry Review, which they found helpful. • Members of the CWC made contacts and presentations to individual clergy, the Alameda Clericus, the School for Deacons, the Clergy-in-Training Program, congregations and seminarians about clergy wellness. • A few new Rectors have reported that they found ts'~e CWC book very useful in helping them to negotiate healthy Work Agreements with vestries as they begin their new calls. DioCal 003997 • Articles and publicity were written for the Pacific Church News. • Pamela Cranston taught the spring 2000 Senior Field Ed. course at CDSP and made full use of the clergy wellness materials. • The Clergy Wellness website is presently being revised and updated by Gretchen Fox from St. Cuthbert's, Oakland. You can reach us through the Commissions site on the Diocesan website at: www.di_ocal.org. or at: http://www.diocal.org/diocese/clergy_wellness_commission/index.html. S) The CWC continues to support the fine ministry of the Dr. Rev. David Jamieson, who serves as Chaplain to clergy and families in the Diocese. During the past year, Rev. Jamieson has made 54 pastoral visits with Diocesan clergy. Since he began his ministry in September 1994, he has made a total of 389 pastoral visits with 189 clergy and family members. 6)In 1999-2000, Pamela Cranston served on Clergy Compensation Task Force, headed by the Rev. Robert Reynolds and aided in their work with the Personnel Practices Commission. 7) The year 2000 saw the retirement of two valuable members ofthe CWC: The Rev. Morgan Silbaugh and Diocesan Council representative, Ms. Eleanor Prugh, both of whom have been enthusiastic and important members of the CWC. Eleanor's position will be ably replaced by Ms. Pat Green from the Cantra Costa deanery. Current members of the CWC include both clergy and laity. Special thanks for their devoted service go to: The Revs Pamela Cranston, John Gallagher, Michael Hansen, David Jamieson, Dr. John Kater, Mrs. Eleanor Prugh, Mr. David Roberts, Dr. Richard Schoenbrun, Bishop William Sgving, the Revs Valerie Valle and Fllarold Weicker for all their hard work on behalf of CWC this past year. All clergy and laity interested in this ministry are encouraged to join this commission. If you are interested, please contact the Rev. Pamela Cranston:(510) 655-7243. The CWC continues to meet six times a year, every fourth Thursday, bi-monthly, 12-1:30 p.m. at St. James Episcopal Church, San Francisco. It continues to be our privilege to serve you. The CWC members are always available to meet with clergy, vestries, congregations, clericus, deaneries and others to educate and open up the dialogue about clergy wellness, mutual ministry, creating healthy congregations and work agreements. If you would like a member of the CWC to make a presentation at your parish, please contact any member above or the Rev. Pamela Cranston at (510) 655-7243 or e-mail her at: [email protected].

It opened with Festive Morning Prayer at Trinity Parish, SF, our first established church. Then began "The March to Grace" in which every church and institution walked under the aegis of local banners down California Street starting at Van Ness and ending on the Great Stegs of Grace Cathedral fora "family photo" before celebrating the Eucharist and enjoying a picnic. The Rt. Rev, William E. Swing officiated; the Most Rev Frank Griswold, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, preached. The 150th anniversary festivities came to an end with "a picnic in the park" (Golden Gate Park) The people came to a great outdoor event named "The Feeding of the 5000", taking its theme of abundance from the gospel reading of Jesus feeding the multitude. There were opportunities to meet old and new friends, visit the Prayer Book Cross, participate in a creative Eucharist, enjoy a picnic and relax to entertainment and music on the grass. Throughout the "year" there were many varied celebrations: On November 5 Youth Ministries had "Nightwatch" in the Cathedral,, retreating and sleeping overnight. The Bishop participated and lead a discussion time. On November Zl an Interfaith Choirs Concert at St. Mary's Cathedral, SF, was composed of seven churches and synagogues who were celebrating their local sesquicentennial history. On February 1 i, 2000, Episcopal Charities held their annual Dinner Dance at The Gift Center, SF. and saluting the anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of California and its diverse outreach to the wider community. On May 6, 2000, "The Colors of Diversity", an original creation and presentation was held at the Masonic Auditorium, SF. It highlighted the ministries of our ethnic parishes who have enriched the Life of the Diocese of California. On September 14, 2000, the Needlepoint Project Project Installation, under the direction of Mary Louis Gotthold, took place at Choral Evensong, Grace Cathedral. The Individual artists and presenters walked in procession DioCal 003999 carrying their handwork displaying God's work in creation, with a focus on California environment. The kneeling cushions, depicting [he great diversity of animals, birds, fish and plants, enhances in a colorful way the fabric of the Cathedral. Commemoratives, dubbed Dio-gcar, were available throughout the celebration. Videos I,2,3 and 4 voiced by Bishop Swing memorialized the richhistory of our churches and institutions. A contemporary Song, a hymn and a setting of Psalm 154 were commissioned. A 150th anniversary pen found its way to every parish. The specially dedicated 150th Chalice, Paten and Banner was scheduled to be presented in the Offertory procession at Sunday services in each of our churches. The "Let It Shine" Project under the direction of the Diocesan Evangelism Committee chaired by The Rev Mark Stanley launched a media blitz in major markets in Northern California whereby message spots created by Canon Rick Johnson of Grace.com were broadcast under the title - "The Episcopal Church Welcomes Yon." "A Swing with a Crosier" written by the Bishop brought together main areas of his life and ministry in a 150 page presentation. Sermons, letters, comments, along with photos, were worked into a coffee table format. Two long-range projects continue: the Pacific Church News Project, an archival effort putting on microfiche the issues of the second oldest newspaper in the state of California; a History of the Episcopal Diocese of California, (1849 - 2000) by Mary Judith Robinson, the great grand daughter of Bishop Kip, the first bishop of California. The official title is yet to be named. The book will be available in 2001. Gratitude is extended to guidance and inspiration of The Rt. Rev. William E. Swing and The Rev.

The microf~m work should be completed by March, 2001. With the microfitm in hand, we can explore additional technologies, such as publication on compact disk. F~eSea[ch ASSlSt81nCt3 The Archivist provided research assfstauxe too a wide variety of people during the past year. There have been requests for genealogical inlorrnaiion from the racorsis of dafurici congregations, arxi from orphanage records. There have also been requests fior information for congregational histories. Sev®rat such requests have come from outside the Diocese. Assistance was also provided th researchers preparing works on Bay Area socio-political movements. Tec1'1r11C8! aslslet~rl~c~ The Diocese pubiist~ two baoidsts far the firduves-- airs about cangregatianai archives thQ other about the preparai~t~e of a congregafionat history. These materials, and related supportive conversations and advirr~ have been provided to several congregations within the Diocese. The archivists of several Dioceses and of the national Church have requested and received copies of these materials. Several congregations have begun archival projects, using our publication. Qne congregation . has asked far help, and 1 am engaged in a consultative process #o help them complete their project. Qrs~eniz~ns~ the cQllectlon The long-#erm process of organizing the collection continues. We have few records of previous bishops, and what we do have has never had a d"~scemible pattern of organization. After consulting with the Bishop's secretary, the Archivist prepared a general pattern for organizing them. This will make it possible #o order those old records and make them more accessible. In the corrtinuing effort to bring all the old records into the organized records groups, the records of two defunct congregations were thinned, organized and incorporated, and an additions! nine groups of records were placid in the collection. Many congregat~nal #files had been taken.out of the cx~llectfon to another site during the Cathedral construction; about half of them have been re-in#egrated, and that process wilt continue until all have been returned to the collection. The s#at~s a+n~i role of the l~rchlve~s The Diocese has no paGcies regarding ih~e management acid retention of its active records. in the Dur►ng the past year, arcs# for the pas! several ysaars,(here have been rx~ formal deposits of n~cords Archives.
