iv RS – 208 - NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP REPORT JUNE, 2009

The following is the report of the Committee on Leadership based on information available as of May 31, 2009. Updated information will be shared during our report time on the floor of Annual Conference. The Committee on Leadership has worked very hard to insure the accuracy of our information. We have worked and will continue to work diligently to find persons to serve and strongly encourage each of you to complete our Nomination and Talent Inventory Form (copy is on last page) so that you too may have the opportunity to serve New England Conference. Welcoming Vermont folks and making leadership opportunities available beginning in 2010 has been part of our ongoing discussions this past year. We have invited persons from Vermont to work with our committee during the coming year to be sure that we have representation wherever possible beginning in July 2010. We are personally grateful to each member of the Leadership Committee. We would commend each member of the committee for their tireless dedication. We would like to also thank Ruby Blake for her dedicated service to the committee.

On behalf of the Committee on Leadership, Richard Gross & Linda Reiber, Co-chairs

CLERGY SESSION - Bishop Peter D. Weaver called the clergy session to order at 6:30 P.M. Lynn McCracken and Ernest Belisle, co-Chairs of the Board of Ordained Ministry (BOOM), led us in worship then introduced their report, contained in answers to questions of the Business of Annual Conference. The entire session was within the context of worship. Bishop Weaver asked Sue Evans as the Registrar of BOOM to read the names of those who had moved on to sainthood this year. Bishop Weaver then led the body in a prayer of thanksgiving and remembrance. Sue Evans moved that Ronald Adcock, Anna Beach, Meredith Jo Beach, Linda Campbell-Marshall, James W. Cox, Virginia Jones-Newton be approved as retired elders. The motion was approved. During the session, Ron Wilson, as the Dean of the Cabinet, answered Question 17 (See the Business of the Annual Conference.) During floor action concerning those on “Honorable Location”, BOOM moved that the Clergy Session of the 2009 NEAC act in accordance with the 2008 Discipline paragraphs 359.1 and 359.2 to terminate clergy orders of persons on Honorable Location who have not, in the last 2 years, completed the disciplinary reporting requirements. The motion was adopted with this proviso: pending verification by BOOM, as to whom the exemption would apply pursuant to Disciplinary prohibition of removing those placed on involuntary location prior to the1976 General Conference. Sue Evans moved that Federico Carmona, Jinyong Choi, David Dyrenforth, Preston Fuller, Glenn Mortimer, and John Nash be elected probationary elders. They were asked to leave the room after which they were each elected and greeted back with applause and a standing ovation! Sue Evans introduced Kerry Greenhill and Elizabeth Kubota. She moved that they be elected as Deacons in Full Connection. They were asked to leave the room after which they were each elected and greeted back with applause and a standing ovation! Cheryln Gates, on a personal privilege, raised the name of Judith Hutton as one approved, but her daughter has had cancer and three operations this year, hence, needs additional time. Cheryln asked us to keep her in prayer. Cheryln offered a prayer for Judith. Sue Evans introduced Gwyneth Arrison, Meredith Brown, Lynne Campbell, Jinwoo Chun, Lehlohonolo Henrietta Montjane, and Paul O’Neil. She moved that they be elected as Elders in Full Connection. They were asked to leave the room after which they were each elected and greeted back with applause and a standing ovation!

THURSDAY EVENING

CALL TO ORDER – The Opening Worship at 6:30 P.M, included Districts marching in to the respective tunes of the district song. Bishop Weaver led us in prayer. An offering was taken for the Global Aids Fund. Bishop Weaver introduced the Rev. Adam Hamilton at 7:00 PM. KEYNOTE SPEAKER – The Rev. Adam Hamilton, pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, Leawood, Kansas, conducted the first of three 1 hour 20 minutes workshops on Leadership. The Church of the Resurrection is the largest UM church in the denomination! He began by citing these statistics: Bad news - statistics of 2001-2007: Membership declined by 4.4% -Attendance down 8.5% - Average age 58 - Many no longer able to attend - UMW down 17% - At current rate of decline UMW has 14 years left - Professions of faith, 18 % decline - Confirmation down 21% - Aging clergy, 800 under age 35 - Pastors best reach people within 20 years of own age - 2007 worship attendance declined by 23,000 - 44 years left in US for UMC if current rate of decline continues. He stated that we need to change because with change comes hope. He went on to talk about qualities of leadership, bad and good. We may grow, with good leadership. He distinguished between the “worst leaders you ever knew” - 4 attributes: Too afraid to encourage troops to do their mission - Too much information led to fear and distrust - Back biting - Lack of trust for others; and extraordinary leader - 4 attributes: Trusted people to do as they were asked - Encouraged mission accomplishment - Out with the troops - Encouraged honesty. Rev. Hamilton summarized the qualities of a good leader: Authentic - people that know him the best respect him the most; Encourager, people like to be encouraged; Humble, understands it isn't all about them; Passionate; Courageous risk takers, put their neck on the line even if they get shot down - care for people; Dale-Carnegie still the best - "How to Win Friends and Influence People"; Don't take yourself too seriously - just keep going. He urged each leader to pick one good quality to work on in the next year, and to be more intentional about it. Rev. Hamilton next talked about leaders and managers, highlighting the contrast in their qualities. What leaders do: Set tone of organization; Lay leaders and Clergy both set tone for the congregation because people are constantly watching. He related the story of where he parks at his church’s parking lot. He parks the farthest from the church and leaders now follow his lead. Leaders: • Represent the organization in the community, • Hold the organization accountable to accomplish the mission • Hold ultimate responsibility for success, and • Are responsible for preparing the organization for the future.

17 Referring to John Cotter’s book, “Leading Change”; It is important that leaders prepare people for the future and prepare for change; stupidity may be defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If you don't move into the present you won't move into the future. Young adults need to help make decisions; older adults bring wisdom and history; young adults lead change. Further contrasts between leaders and managers: Managers Leaders Plan and budget Establish direction and cast vision Develop policies and processes Align people and resources to accomplish a vision Control and problem solve Motivate and inspire Create predictability and order Produce change and chaos Clarify and champion the mission Discern and cast the vision Motivate and inspire people to accomplish the vision Celebrate victories Evaluate shortcomings Note that leaders don't give up. In a leadership role, people will criticize what you are doing; get a thick skin and keep going. (Psalm 41) Rev. Hamilton next talked about the 5 leadership principles, emphasizing that it's all about people; people skills; love people; be positive, not grumpy; brush your teeth - lay people want to be proud of you. He said that healthy organizations have a clear MVP – mission, vision, and plan: Mission: why we exist; what we do; should fit on a T-shirt, such as “Make disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the world.” Another example is Hallmark whose mission statement is “Enriching Lives”. Vision: where are we going? short-term and long-term visions. Have a discernable goal. Without a vision people perish (Proverbs); when you do something and people look forward to it, it gathers strength and vitality; what can you talk about that is a vision for next year? How can we take the people in the congregation and change the world? We need to talk of things of the world and cast a vision to help people think of a new vision. Plan; help people develop the steps to accomplish the vision. Remember, change, innovate, improve or die. Rev. Hamilton concluded the evening with the following illustration of the Discipleship pyramid (of those who attend church): • 10% are nearing sanctification • 20% are there every Sunday - give of their time and service - concerned for justice • 30% are followers who are there many Sundays • 40% go to church when the weather is just right. They put $5 in the pot, if they think they are in the top 10% (not likely); the closer you get to Christ the more you think you are not there - if they think they are deeply committed, then they are probably in the bottom 40% We tend to preach to and teach the top 30% - Jesus went to those below the bottom 40% to bring them in. Sermons should take people on a journey over two years. Take “Discernment by Nausea”: at a fork in the road, if the 1st choice is easy, comfortable and you sleep well at night but 2nd choice causes you to be sick to your stomach and stay awake at night, then the 2nd is the one you should travel. When faced with a fork, help people be willing to travel the road less traveled. Example: Old church building versus a school gymnasium that must be set up each Sunday and use hallways for classrooms and nursery. Bishop Weaver opened the plenary session at 8:42 PM, and introduced Martin McLee, Metro Boston Hope (MBH) District Superintendent. Martin McLee stated that there would be many guests during this year’s Annual Conference. He welcomed: Eboni Lemon, Black College Student; Lydia Pierce, Mission Interpreter In Residence; Bill Neuert, General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits (GBOPHB); Pastor Fransisco Guzman, Otoniel Cortes, and Jairo Lezama of Nicaragua Covenant; as well as all the Vermont guests. He asked the Vermont guests to stand and wave, to a thunderous applause! Martin McLee stated that we are one of most diverse conferences in the connection. To illustrate he invited us to say “welcome” in the variety of cultural persuasions reflecting the various areas of diversity - Welcome in English - Old English/Celtic dialect - Polish - Spanish - Hadau/ Philippines – Korean, etc. COKESBURY – Chet Pritchard of Cokesbury stated that Cokesbury cares - offers start-up program for new congregations; after fire; helped in developing nations this past year - Low-cost/free downloads available.

18 Cokesbury has in the past given to the pension fund. This year, due to economic downturn it has had to retrench and cut operational costs, trying to be fully self-supporting, hence, unable to assist with pension fund. He expressed gratitude for our support of Central Conference Pension initiative in past. He announced the hours Cokesbury would be open during Annual Conference: Wednesday: 1pm-7pm, Thursday: 9am-1:15pm; 2:30-7pm, Friday: 9am-1:15pm; 2:30pm-7pm. Bishop Weaver on the Central Conference Pension Initiative: Central Conference retirees receive no pension at all; those able are trying to create an endowment for the Initiative. Usually Cokesbury gaves a check of about $13,000. Since we will not receive a check, the Ordination Worship Service offering will go to the Central Conference Pension Initiative rather than the Bishop's Discretionary fund. He challenged us to give at least $13,000. ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver welcomed Conference Lay Leader Oscar Harrell to the head table. He would be the first of many Laity to assist Bishop Weaver during this year’s Annual Conference. Bishop Weaver then welcomed Conference Secretary, Ralph Oduor. He stated that Ralph is a Lay person who serves Christ in many ways. He has a team of assistant secretaries, ushers and tellers, to help him with this function. Bishop Weaver introduced Lisa Fagerstrom of the Commission on Religion and Race. Lisa talked about her role in monitoring the Annual Conference session. She said she would hold us accountable and that the impact of monitoring and reporting feels as if Big Brother/Sister is watching. As an example, she would monitor leaders and those speaking at the mikes, etc. She invited anyone wanting to be part of Monitoring team process to see her. In looking at reports, if might make us feel uncomfortable. The body should be seeing that the letter of the law or the spirit of the law is an invitation to Christian fellowship, and for all of God's children to be involved. She urged us to look at the Spirit, not just the letter of the law. ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIONS - Ralph Oduor, Conference Secretary, announced that the roll call would be taken from the registrations at the registration desk. When voting, vote with the yellow (Lay) or green (clergy) voting card included in the registration packet. Ralph Oduor reminded the Conference of its rules of procedure. Any motion that is made must be in writing to the Secretary and Presiding Officer before it can be acted upon. Motion forms are available from any of the usher/tellers. If you wish to be recognized, please raise and wave your voting card from your seat, before moving to a microphone. This helps visibility in the front of the Chapel. Ralph Oduor stated the following concerning lost and found: A box for deposit of lost items will be located in the lobby. You may speak with Debbie Cannella there to retrieve or deposit a lost or found item. There would be no announcements from the stage concerning any lost items. Ralph Oduor stated concerning miscellaneous announcements and messages: If you wish to deliver a message or make an announcement, please obtain a form to complete from Debbie Cannella in the lobby. Announcements would be placed on the bulletin board in the lobby, or if urgent, they may be displayed on the bottom of the screen. Further, material may not be distributed within the chapel without the approval of the Choreographer or the Conference Secretary. Only ushers/tellers or pages may distribute material inside the chapel. Ralph Oduor moved that the bar of the Conference include the entire chapel floor with the balcony considered as outside the bar of the Conference. Joseph Chamberland moved an amendment that the bar include the balcony. The motion was seconded and the amended motion was adopted. Ralph Oduor moved that the agenda printed in the Pre-Conference booklet be adopted as the working agenda for this session. The motion was adopted.

Ralph Oduor moved that all reports printed in the Pre-Conference booklet, be adopted and printed in the Conference Journal. The motion was adopted. CONSENT CALENDAR - Ralph Oduor stated that RS-201 had been removed from the Consent Calendar, on page 2 of the Pre-Conference booklet. He stated that the vote on the Consent Calendar would be on Saturday at 9:21 A.M. as an order of the day. No debate or amendments will be allowed. To remove any additional item from the Consent Calendar, simply provide the Conference Secretary with a written request for such, signed by 10 members of the Conference, before the close of the session Friday afternoon.

19 Bishop Weaver urged the body to conference with a sense of grace; people come here with a sense of the Spirit moving in their lives, which we must respect as we operate by parliamentary procedure. If one is not sure, come to the microphone anyway and we will try to help find the right procedure to make things happen. “Praylamentary” procedure: anyone may call a point of “prayerlamentary” procedure at any time; it is God's work, not ours. We should use it in church as well as at conference; and be open to the leading of God's Spirit. COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION (CFA) - Barbara Cann, co-Chair moved adoption of RS-114, election of William V. Burnside II (Bill) as Conference Treasurer/Director of Administrative Services, to serve for the rest of the quadrennium. It was adopted. BOARD OF PENSIONS - Charles Stewart, Chair of the Conference Board of Pensions, moved adoption of RS-115, election of the William (Bill) V. Burnside II as Treasurer of the Board of Pensions.

They especially noted: • Proposed 2% rather than 4% increase for Conference staff • No pay increase to cabinet (only for support staff as stated above) • Budget doesn’t include impact (expense or income) of joining of Vermont churches for next year. • Mission share will stay the same • Health care premiums will increase • Pastor’s monthly co-pay and church’s blended rate will both increase • ACH rate will incur a significant savings ($1000) • Property insurance will stay the same. Bill Burnside addressed Conference, stating that the vote on the budget will be on Saturday morning. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS - Ralph Oduor presented the 32 Proposed Constitutional Amendments that were brought by action of the 2008 General Conference. He gave these instructions: • We will vote by ballot on all the proposed amendments on Friday afternoon. They are printed in the Pre-Conference booklet on page 13. We will vote on the amendments “as is”, that is, they are not amendable. • If you are eligible to vote you should have received a white ballot when you registered. If you are eligible to vote and do not yet have a ballot, you may secure one by giving your name to the ballot clerk in the lobby. There will be no replacement ballots. • If your name is not on the list of those to receive ballots, and you believe you are entitled to one, you must see the Conference Secretary. Each eligible member’s vote will count. • Only Members in Full Connection (Elders and Deacons) as well as Lay and Equalization Members present at the time of voting, are eligible to vote on the proposed amendments. Ralph Oduor announced that a dialogue session on the proposed Constitutional Amendments would be held Friday at 12:30 PM. COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP - Richard Gross, co-Chair of the Committee on Leadership (Nominations) presented the nominating slate. He stated that the co-Chair, Linda Reiber, was unable to be present until Saturday. Ruby Blake would leave the committee. She has served since 2005. The committee is welcoming people from Vermont. The committee has met throughout the year - 2-3 times in person but mostly by conference calls. He referred to the handout and welcomed concerns/errors/omissions/deletions, adding that the list was updated May 31.

Oscar Harrell announced that JoAnn Carlotto, Tri-State District Lay Leader had broken her wrist on the way to conference and would undergo surgery the following day. Oscar Harrell led us in the closing prayer. RECESS – Bishop Weaver declared us in recess at 9:47 PM

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 2009

CALL TO ORDER - Bishop Weaver called the Conference to order at 9:00 A.M, following opening worship that began at 8:30.

20 ORGANIZATIONAL –Bishop Weaver welcomed Tom Davidson, former Chair of CFA and most recently the interim Conference Treasurer, to the table to help preside over the Annual Conference. KEYNOTE SPEAKER – The Rev. Adam Hamilton conducted the second workshop on Leadership. He was introduced by Kelly Sisney, a comedienne. Kelly shared some humor with us and made fun of the Church of the Resurrection. Adam mentioned that Kelly would be with him at the book signing, during the lunch break. The subject was “Improving the Quality” of worship & preaching. He defined Worship as the Soul Food Café. He asked these queries: What quality meal do the folks get? Is it welcoming, rewarding? What about the ambiance? The food should be good just as in a good restaurant. If one is connecting with a post Christian world, one would ask, Is this value-adding to my life? Would they get anything out of it, and would they be coming back to it? If we can improve the quality of worship, they can be more committed. A survey asked, “Do you expect lives to be changed by attending worship?” and 75% said “No,” 72% said they did not expect to have an encounter with the living God. They expected to be told what to do. Our faith became between the head and the heart, like a forest that hasn’t had rain. Methodism was a Pentecostal movement. They were hungry for the heart, and we are interested in both the head and the heart. Hamilton went on to say, rather than pastors planning worship on a Friday afternoon, pulling up the old bulletin, changing the songs, and prayers, pastors should ask: • How can I help people praise God with their hearts? (that is, experience God) • How can I help people experience the presence of God in worship? • How do I help them to pray, confess their sins, offer thanksgiving to and have God in their lives? • How do I help them hear God speak? • How do I help them offer themselves to God? • How do I help them leave inspired and encouraged? Rev. Hamilton offered some insight in how he does it at his church, leading by modeling on Sunday mornings. He said that a pastor needs a minimum of 10 hrs per week, in sermon preparation. Lay people should be doing visiting, taking calls, etc. The pastor needs to know what the issues are, what’s going on in their life. He also revealed his success with Christmas Eve worship. His church holds several a day beginning a few days before Christmas. He listed five Basic Sermon Types: Fishing Expeditions - What sermons are compelling to non-church people? Best time to announce is Easter and Christmas. Example: Why are there so many religions? Discipleship, Pastoral Care, Equipping and Sending, as well as Institutional. Record a news story and start a sermon with it. Adam led us in prayer before the break. KEYNOTE SPEAKER – After a short break, Kelly Sisney opened with comedy, and then Adam Hamilton led the third and last workshop. The topic this time was Evangelism and the Case for Methodism. He urged pastors to get to know their superintendent and let her/him “know your thoughts”. Here are some questions a congregation needs to answer, in order to reach beyond the walls: • Why do people need Jesus Christ? • Why do people need the church? I’m spiritual but not religious. (Ezekiel 34). The laity and pastors of NE Conference are the shepherds. • How do we look at the people that are the lost sheep? (Matthew 9:36) “Like sheep without a shepherd” Luke 19:10 • Why do people need this particular church? Help your people find what is special for them, by inviting them to church. They need to experience what’s at our church. We’re brand new, come dream with us. How do we look at the people that are the lost sheep? (Matthew 9:36) Like sheep without a shepherd” Luke 19:10. Tips for Preparing for Visitors: • Door Signage • Best Parking place for New Visitor • Greeters are trained to be especially friendly to new people. • Introduce yourself as you being your worship. • Good upkeep of nursery, bathrooms, sanctuary. • Up-To-Date rather than “This church feels like an antique store.” Outreach: Hamilton was not sure Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Life” study worked in his church. In this the 21st century, he starts by inviting participants to be part of mission work, invite to church, equip them, go out into the world and spread what they learned. First Time Visitor-Follow-up:

21 Pass attendance cards or forms at a specific time during the worship. The ushers hand them to visitors. Call on first-time visitors after church, by showing up at their door, bringing them a coffee mug to keep, and thank them for visiting. On their second visit, welcome them back, calling them by their first name. Miscellaneous: Give postcards of service to hand out to friends for special events such as Christmas Eve, etc. Revival starts with prayer. Rev. Hamilton had handed out cards to his congregation to pray for our congregations in the New England Conference. Bishop Weaver led us in prayer for Adam Hamilton. Bishop Weaver challenged us to think of one or two things we’ve heard in these past two days that we could go and work on back home. Ralph Oduor announced that the afternoon session would begin at 2 pm. Camp Directors, David Murphy of Covenant Hills, VT; Jennifer Carpenter of Aldersgate; Norm Thombs of Mechuwana; Larry Peacock of Rolling Ridge; Jean & Michael Moore of Wanakee (Jean and Michael could not be attend, but we kept them in prayer); led us in singing Grace before lunch. RECESS – Bishop Weaver declared a recess at 12:33 P.M.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

CALL TO ORDER - Bishop Weaver called the Conference to order at 2:00 PM. ORGANIZATIONAL – Bishop Weaver welcomed Cindy Edgerly, President of UMW, to the table to help preside over the Annual Conference. Bishop Weaver read from Proverb 18:19. COMMITTEE ON JOURNAL – Kristine Anderson reported for the Committee on Journal that the proceedings of the previous day had been received and found to be in order. She made a motion to adopt them. The motion was adopted. MONITORING REPORTS – Lisa Fagerstrom, Chair of the Commission on Religion and Race (CORR) brought the day’s report. Lisa referred to the video clips by Adam Hamilton during last night’s session and noted that only white people were in them. She said, “It is not about being ‘bad people’, it is about challenging us to notice. White sisters and brothers had not noticed. Black, Hispanic Asian and those of color… brothers and sisters just grinned, in a tired, ‘I've seen this before’ kind of grin and shook their heads and walked away” What did you notice? Musicians had diversity. Ushers and those who talked about money, were mostly white. She invited all to be God’s body and notice more. What will happen when you go back to your community? THE VISIONING TABLE – Veta Daley, the Chair, saying this was the 2nd year of operation. They are continuing to build spiritual relationship as foundation of their work, meeting three times per year. The team is still trying to understand and articulate their purpose in the midst of membership decline in New England Conference. Following Jesus' command is not easy! Visioning Team is focused on making disciples, as the Visioning Table focuses on Expanding the UM Community by sharing stories of how God has assisted us in our lives; our life- line to rebuilding the membership in the churches. As United Methodists, we are conquerors and we take spiritual risk. If we are going to improve membership and attendance, we must accept the responsibility to be John Wesley of the day. Can we? Yes, we can, through invitation to worship; bring one person each in, take responsibility to nourish that individual. Make a covenant, a challenge; invite one member over next year. If each one invites one, we could double in one year. Veta Daley stated that we are at a crossroad in the UMC, a people under spiritual pressure. The challenge before each of us believers, and conquerors is to go forth in faith; and know that God is able and he will assist each and every one of us to bring those souls in. ABOUT PRAYER – Alan Grill moved the adoption of RS – 203 on prayer. He accepted as a friendly amendment the following: “Recognizing that people with health issues should consult with their health care providers before engaging in a fast.” The amended motion was adopted. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS – Ralph Oduor gave further instructions about balloting on the 32 issues. He noted that they were not amendable. Those qualified for vote were lay members and equalization members, Deacons and Elders in full Connection. In order to vote, one must be within the bar of the Conference (not out in lobby). Scott Campbell explained the bases of the 32 proposed amendments in groups as follows: Group 1: Amendments 3, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 - changing central to regional. Central conferences refers to those outside US, amendments would change from Central to Regional Conferences - using separate title sets US as normative and others secondary – “Central Conference” is too similar to “Central Jurisdiction” which existed from 1939 to 1968 would allow the General Conference to proceed with changes in worldwide church in 2012. The first group of amendments deals with a change in terminology. Currently the Constitution uses the term “Central Conferences” to refer to the structures of the church outside of the United States.

22 There are three primary reasons the General Conference proposed this change. Referring to the churches outside of the United States by a separate title perpetuates the idea that the United States is normative and other parts of the church secondary. The term “Central Conferences” is too similar to the title “Central Jurisdiction,” reminiscent of the institutionalized racial segregation that existed in the Methodist Church from 1939-1968. Passing this language change would allow the 2012 General Conference to proceed with structural changes in the worldwide church without having to amend the Constitution first. Group 2: Amendments 4, 10, 23, and 26. This group of amendments deals with structural changes that would take place within the church by establishing regional conferences. *The Judicial Council has recently ruled that if proposed amendments to create regional conferences are passed, the General Conference would be mandated to create one or more regional conferences in the United States (JC 1100), although the specific responsibilities and powers of the proposed regional conferences have not yet been determined. Group 3: Amendment I - Paragraph 4. Amendment 1 deals with Paragraph 4 of the Constitution. The current wording of that paragraph includes a list of conditions which shall not be used to exclude people from the ministry of or membership in the church. These include race, color, national origin, status and economic condition. The proposed change would eliminate this list and simply state that all persons are eligible to attend worship, participate in programs, receive the sacraments, and become members of the church. It further specifies that no organization of the church shall be structured so as to exclude any member or constituent body from participation in those organizations. Group 4: Amendment 19 about ¶ 35 - who votes for General Conference delegation? Amendment 19 would allow an expansion of those currently entitled to vote for clergy delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conferences to include associate members, provisional members who have completed all of their educational requirements and local pastors who have completed the course of study or an MDiv degree and served at least two consecutive years under appointment immediately preceding the election. Group 5 - Miscellaneous - 2, 6, 8, 9, 15, 17, and 22. Amendment 2 would require all official bodies of the church to adopt ethics and conflict of interest policies. Presumably this requirement would not apply to local church bodies, but is addressed to the wider church. Amendment 6 provides the General Conference with the option to delay full representation for certain conferences admitted to the church when there are special circumstances. One example of such an action was the vote of the 2004 General Conference to delay full representation for The Ivory Coast until accurate membership data could be established. The Judicial Council upheld that decision by a 4-4 vote. The purpose of this amendment is both to enable and to limit such actions. Delays cannot extend beyond eight years. Amendment 8 insures that gender will not be used to exclude anyone from church membership or participation in agencies, programs or institutions of the church. Amendment 9 requires that no Jurisdictional Conference shall have less than 100 delegates, requiring an adaptation of the formula by which delegates are chosen if the regular formula would result in less than 100 delegates. A rationale is that there ought to be a minimum number of delegates involved in the election of bishops. Amendment 15 would give the General Conference the right to determine the definition of lay and clergy members of the Annual Conference simply by passing legislation. Currently any changes to the definition require a constitutional amendment which must be ratified by Annual Conferences. Amendment 17 would give lay members on the Committee on Investigation the right to vote on matters related to the character, conference relations, and ordination of clergy. This amendment is an attempt to harmonize the current Disciplinary paragraphs with Memorandum 1006 of the Judicial Council. The Discipline puts lay members on the committee while the memorandum says they cannot serve as full members, only as observers. It is not clear whether these members would be eligible to participate in the clergy session of Annual Conferences. Amendment 22 would list Bermuda as a part of the Northeastern Jurisdiction, acknowledging a reality that has been in place for many years. Scott Campbell answered a number of questions, after which Bishop Weaver entertained debate on the substance of the proposed amendments. There was no debate on Group 1! Debate on Group 2: Allan Grill of Franklin UMC noted that the Discipline has different wording. The Discipline indicates powers and responsibilities of the regional and central conference. Scott Campbell responded that some of these issues will have to be dealt with.

23 Ken Kreutziger of Lexington UMC was concerned that it would leave the UMC wide open to establish another level of conference as a whole. Sue Davenport of Oakland/Sidney UMC: If GC established one or more regional conferences in US, does this mean New England may become a regional conference? Bishop Weaver responded the current understanding is that the US would be one regional conference. Tom Kyle of Exeter UMC NH, recommended voting against at this time in order to allow task force to study further and with discussion with Bishops to come back and give us better idea of ramifications. Katherine Johnson of the national MFSA and on extension ministry, Washington DC spoke in favor. She said that structure changes have been under discussion for years, particularly in light of decreasing in US and growth outside US, with changing demographics. There is need to work out structure with more equity - central conferences are able to amend the Discipline but the US cannot - There has been creative discussion around the meeting of US regional conference in opening days of General Conference. We Chang spoke in favor of the amendments. Bishop Weaver closed debate on Group 2. Debate on Group 3: Dan Weaver of Greenland, NH, felt that since all are becoming eligible under certain conditions, would that be taking away the vows etc? Tiffany Steinwert of Cambridge Welcoming Ministries stated that women and many other categories are excluded. When we make lists, someone is left out. Bishop Weaver closed debate on Group 3. There was no debate on Group 4! Bishop Weaver closed debate on Group 5. The body was informed that Jan Row, DS of Embery District (some churches are in Vermont) of Troy Conference, was taken to the hospital. Bishop Weaver closed the debate, led the body in prayer and then announced that the balloting would begin. Those who completed their balloting were asked to stand until their ballots had been collected by the ushers. When everyone had voted, all the ballots handed to the ushers, Bishop announced that the ballot was closed. Ralph Oduor responding to a query, said the results would be announced Saturday morning, but reminded the body that only the Council of Bishops may declare a proposed amendment passed, after canvassing all the ballots from all the Annual Conferences. LAITY ADDRESS – Oscar Harrell II, Conference Lay Leader in his Laity Address “I am increasingly impressed with laity of New England Conference.” He stated that on behalf of the Laity he had the honor of presenting Rebecca Hewett, Conference Director of Lay Speaking Ministries. Rebecca is also the coordinator of Clergy Family Service South, for Preachers’ Aid Society in charge of 60 families in RIM. Rebecca asked: “Are we not here to Make Disciples for Jesus Christ?” Rebecca Hewett spoke about new ways of serving Christ and encouraging lay speaking ministries in the conference. Report of lay speaking ministries: Equipping laity to witness to and participate in ministry; Gifts utilized to further the work of Jesus Christ. The history of lay speaking goes back to the beginning of Methodism. She recognized these leaders of lay speaking in the respective districts: • Charles Fraser - CMA • Laurie Stacy - CWM • Ruby Blake and Wendy Millar-Page - MBH • Aaron Cox - NHD • James Boughman – NME • Susan McDonald - TRI • Kim Whynacht - RIM • Ruth Canon - MME • Debbie Henry - Youth coordinator Rebecca asked all the Local Lay Speakers to stand and then add Certified Lay Speakers. She said there are over 1000 lay speakers in the conference, and soon to add over 150 with Vermont! VERMONT (TROY CONFERENCE) REPRESENTATIVES – Evie Doyon, Lay Leader and Green Mountain UMW - Trained Spiritual Director - North Field UM Parish - North Field, VT, brought greetings from Bishop Hassinger. She expressed appreciation for the welcome accorded Vermont representatives. She recalled that Adam Hamilton spoke of risk taking and that she, Evie, was willing to take a risk. She invited us to sing "What Does the Lord Require of You" - in several parts (rounds) as follows: Balcony and those below - ask question; Stage Right - Justice….; Stage Left - turn to sermon - to seek justice… What does the Lord require of

24 us as we seek to become a “new” New England? She reminded us of why she is engaged in current work, worship that helps us to experience God and the need for spiritual work in church. She lifted 3 points: 1. Renew my people 2. Rebuild my church 3. Restore my kingdom. God speaks not just to one, but to many to create something new; Vermont is looking to create something new out of the renewed New England. Let’s become accountable to Vermont as they become accountable to New England. TROY SPIRITUAL FORMATION TEAM - Rene Wilbur of the Transition Team brought Greetings from Green Mountain College, the only Liberal Arts College in New England. There are many Patriots faithful in Vermont, and a part of Red Sox nation. This is what you get when you get Vermont and he showed a Video. Oscar Harrell noted the future does look bright for the “new” New England Conference. Bishop Weaver mentioned how great it was to be at the Troy Conference last week. Vermont is a gift to go on and on and to keep giving in ministry. ORGANIZATIONAL - Bishop Weaver introduced Bishop Violet Fisher (retired) who would be the Keynote Speaker and the Saturday Ordination Worship Service. Bishop Fisher stayed at the head table for the rest of the day to help Bishop Weaver preside and be involved in the vision to recreate New England.

In July 2009, Belinda Forbes will be in New England. She asked any Nicaragua covenant churches that would like to be involved in visitation collaboration to contact her. She said we also have opportunity for Cambodia consultation in September 2009, regarding Cambodian ministries and building of alliances. MISSION INTREPRETATION – by Lydia Pierce, Mission Interpreter in Residence (MIIR). She shared that she learned how to be a missionary from the people in Nicaragua. She went to Nicaragua for 6 months and stayed for 9 years. In the New England Conference, we can reflect together on what mission is. Mission is still happening throughout the world. Through Mission, we get to know one another; we should not stay in one place and not know what God is doing in another part of the world. Special offer: even though it’s financially difficult now, we must continue to look outward now. Covenant relationships: sponsor a missionary; create a covenant relationship, individual covenant relationships, and youth groups/young adult groups to develop relationships with other young missionaries. Join with a cluster of churches to develop relationships.

26 BOARD CHURCH & SOCIETY – We Chang, Chair, listed these Task Forces: Climate Change, Mental Illness, Immigration, Migrant Worker, Prevention, Reconciling, Health Care Justice, Middle East Justice, Global AIDS, all under the Board of Church and Society. He showed a video about the United Methodist Seminar Program (sponsored by the Global Board of Church & Society). The hope is to have two teams each year: one for youth and another for general members. Methodists believe in a better world – holiness is not just an individual thing. He referred to “Living Faith and Seeking Justice” event with Tex Sample, in the handout below:

“A Call to Social Holiness for United Methodists The founder of United Methodism, John Wesley, was clear that an authentic Christian Faith must combine Social Holiness with Personal Holiness. Practical Christianity, for Wesley, demanded a concern for, and an involvement in, the social issues of his day. Wesley believed, and we affirm, that engagement in Social Holiness is an essential element of living the Christian life and that both the Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers (sic) demanded that Disciples live out this aspect of the Christian journey. From time to time, in an effort to build an institution or in the sheer exuberance of evangelizing new Christians, the Church has neglected or downplayed this integral aspect of Christian living. We have done so to our peril, building on a sand foundation and leaving our members subject to the whims of culture or national allegiance, rather than strengthening them to Witness to the full Gospel message of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Epistles. It is imperative, especially in this era of emphasis on Church Growth and a personalized system of belief, reliant more on what “makes me feel good” than “what orients me/us to God”, that we as United Methodists reclaim our understanding of social holiness and involvement in the life of the community. The Church is meant to be a leader in the struggle for Social Justice, for equity in the economic sphere, for the inclusion of all people, and a critic of self-righteousness and self-justification on both a personal and national level. Thus, we are bound by our commitment to Jesus Christ to look outward to the world, using the Church as a place of restoration, healing, teaching and re-energizing, not as a haven to hide from the needs of our brothers and sisters. Guided by our Savior and Brother, Jesus Christ, we, as members of The United Methodist Church, declare our renewed dedication to the work of Christ, through the Church, in the world. We offer ourselves humbly, but with confidence in the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to declare the yearning of God for the well-being and wholeness of all God’s Creation. We call all United Methodists to reignite the movement of Social Holiness in the life of our church and community as we act and speak for inclusiveness, for economic justice, for peace between nations and reconciliation between persons, and for responsible stewardship of God’s creation. Lent 2009 From Living Faith, Seeking Justice Event 2009”

We Chang asked each to bring it back to their congregations, copy for newsletters, or use it for discussions. “Bring the statement into the life of the church,” he urged! We Chang referred to a second handout, “Report on Human Sexuality” statement to General Conference. This was continuing a discussion from last year’s Annual Conference. The full text will be available online at www.neumc.org. He said that this issue is always divisive with no room for discussion. Dan Weaver and Scott Campbell were mentioned as representing two opposite perspectives on the issue. We should acknowledge that we only know in part on the issue of human sexuality; we are a people on the way to wholeness. We read the statement that was drafted. We need a new statement on human sexuality especially one that encourages us to respect one another while disagreeing. The goal is to bring a statement to the General Conference in 2012, but first also please bring the statement to your churches for discussion and conversation. Bishop Weaver expressed thanks to those who have modeled the conversation as they live out of love. It is an example of holy conferencing and holy conversation. SCHOOL OF CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT –The Congregational Development Committee showed a Commercial for the School for Congregational Development to be held November 5-7, 2009, Grace Chapel, Lexington, Massachusetts. CLIMATE CONTROL – Marla Marcum referred to the report of the Task Force in the Pre-Conference booklet. She welcomed churches from Vermont; called the body to work for the protection of the environment, and to steward the resources that God has given us. We should address the problems that people are already experiencing because of climate change. This December, world leaders will meet, trying to decide what to do to prevent climate change through 2050. It is time to let them know we want action. She invited us to join the

27 International Day of Climate Action, on October 24, 2009. We were urged to Ring bells 350 (represents safe limit for carbon dioxide) times in one day; thereby taking a symbolic action for Climate Control. There was a sign-up sheet for those who would like to learn more and join in. Bishop Weaver announced that yesterday's Global Aids offering amounted to $9,432.03; close to our goal. Jack Johnson, (a United Methodist) the new Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, led us in Grace before dinner. RECESS – Bishop Weaver declared us in recess at 5:00 P.M.

THE HENRY DENMAN AWARDS: Clergy Award - David Arruda; Laity Award - Wade Ewing. Curtis Brown stated that through a Grant from the Foundation for Evangelism, Dr. Denman organized a committee in 1949 to see Christ in lives lived out by others. We Chang introduced Wade Ewing saying that Wade Ewing follows Jesus in walking with the poor. He brings Good News to those who have been excluded from society. He is the feet of Jesus. He walks through the jungles of the city of Manchester, NH, bringing good news with coffee, homemade muffins, flashlight, batteries, clothes, etc. He brings relationship to people for whom Christ is foreign. Wade Ewing doesn't like being the center of attention. Wade sees Christ in the people he meets each day. Dave Abbott introduced David Arruda, saying that David began in 2005 to take a dying church, and infuse it with the Holy Spirit; traveling one way 400 miles each weekend in the first year and being paid for mileage alone, no salary! That congregation has been empowered, current and previous mission-shares are paid! It is a Resurrection story of new birth and life. He did a similar thing in 2007 for a new church with same story, this time a shorter commute; another church supporting orphan ministry is alive and is a location where love, grace mercy and care are offered for all. David Arruda thanked the body for the award. He said that it is the crown to toss at the bottom of the cross, that is, the award for evangelism - two people honored. He believes that each and everyone present should get an award, and we should not talk about dying, but busting at the seams; not about who is excluded but all included, without question. Jesus went out to everyone, and that is what we have to do. He reminded us:

29 “You are the only Bible someone will see; you are the only word of Christ someone will hear. Be the hands and feet of Christ”.

CALL TO ORDER – Following worship led by Mitch Thomas and the Conference Musicians, as well as the Conference Council on Youth Ministry, Bishop Weaver called the Conference to order at 8:30 AM. CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON YOUTH MINISTRY (CCYM) – Ashley McDougall started by greeting us, and saying, “I am a member of the Conference Council on Youth Ministry. This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! We are here this morning to worship God, and thank Him for all that He has done for us and through us. As youth, sometimes we feel a bit left out, like we’re not necessarily that important, but God doesn’t believe that at all.” She read Jeremiah, chapter 1 verses 5-8, in Eugene Petersen’s “The Message.” Ashley McDougall led the body in singing “He Has Made Me Glad" TFWS 2270. “My name is Max Pretzer and I am also a member of CCYM. I want you to know that Youth in this conference are busy ministering everyday. There’s youth ministry going on all around, all the time that most people don’t even see. Youth are busy counseling at summer camps around the conference every summer.” He concluded by showing videos of Camp Mechuwana; videos of a mission trip to Cuba and Africa. “Good morning! My name is Orre-Anne Alexander. Last year, we supported the youth group from Duxbury, MA on their mission trip; Ashley went to New Orleans to help the cleanup after Hurricane Katrina, and in December, I will be going on the Northeast Jurisdiction trip to India along with two other youth from this conference. We spent over $5500 of last year’s penny challenge money on mission activities…… “We’re here to ask you to continue to support youth ministry in your local churches. Not just with money, but with your time too. Listen to us, spend time with us, and pray for us. Keep in touch by email or snail mail when we graduate and go off to college. I know we’re not always easy to get along with, and sometimes it seems like we’re not listening, but we are, and we’re watching, and learning from you. There are three of us who have graduated this year. That means there are three less youth on CCYM. Please help kids who want to be part of CCYM get there. Get kids involved, encourage them to stay involved.” After leading us in prayer, Orre-Anne Alexander thanked the body for their time, and most of all, for their continued support. The youth concluded by announcing the “Penny” Challenge results, noting this year they did not encourage bringing pennies. Most gifts were in the form of paper money or checks. “PENNY” CHALLENGE RESULTS: District No. of churches participating Amount CMA 19 $1383.35 MBH 9 $810.00 CWM 10 $821.00 MME 27 $1226.00 RISEM 13 $1054.71 NME 14 $1032.94 TRI 72 - 100% - $4/church $379.22 NH 63- 100% - $46.87/church $2952.58 - John did it again!

She noted that if we take away those who sang and the Nicaragua covenant guests, it drops the numbers dramatically. When we actually look around, it is as if the Hispanics are invisible. She encouraged us to look at who is around us in our churches and who is not included.

2009 CONFERENCE ACTIONS

RS- 101 - MINIMUM CASH SALARY (Submitted by the Commission on Equitable Compensation) (Adopted on Consent Calendar, Saturday Morning, June 20, 2009) In an effort to be fair to pastors and in consideration of the prevailing economic situation in the country that affects many of our congregations’ ability to provide a living wage to pastors, The Commission on Equitable Compensation having wrestled with the decision regarding compensation and benefits for our pastors in 2010, hereby submits this resolution to set the minimum cash salary at $35,850 for CY2010, a nominal increase of $500. Accordingly, the following rates have been set: Full time Elder, Probationer, Permanent Deacon, or Associate Pastor $35,850 Full Time Local Pastor $32,270 Additional for Years of Service as of Jan 1, 2010 From 3 to 5 Years under appointment $600 From 6 to 10 Years under appointment $1,200 11 years or more under appointment $1,500 Based on the recommended minimum of $35,850 and $ 32,270 respectively and the approval of the minimum amount by Conference action, the following maximum grant amounts would be permitted: Category Full Time Elder, Probationer, Full Time Local Pastor Permanent Deacon, or Associate Pastor Minimum Salary Grant $7,170 $6,450 Strategic Salary Grant $8,960 $8,070 Minimum Cash Salary Grants are awarded for no more than three years, with the amount of the grant size decreasing with each successive year. The expectation is that congregations will engage in a strategic plan to increase revenues and/or decrease expenses to balance their budgets and eliminate the need for this grant. Congregations are also expected to increase their participation in the Mission Share activity of the Annual Conference, with a goal of 100% participation. Grants are scheduled in the following manner: Year 1: Award is up to 100% of the maximum grant size Year 2: Award is up to 65% of the maximum grant size Year 3: Award is up to 35% of the maximum grant size Strategic Cash Salary Grants are awarded on a four-year decreasing basis. A strategic plan must accompany this application. In succeeding years, a progress report that speaks to the strategic plan submitted in the first year must accompany the application. Following is the schedule for Strategic Grants: Year 1: Up to 100% of the maximum grant size Year 2: Up to 75% of the maximum grant size Year 3: Up to 50% of the maximum grant size Year 4: Up to 25% of the maximum grant size

Missional Cash Salary Grants are also available for new congregations and those defined as missions. Please check the conference website for applications and detailed definitions. Reimbursable Accounts The Commission on Equitable Compensation in an effort to remain current with prevailing trends across the denomination, considering the reality that a number of churches in Vermont are scheduled to join this annual conference in 2010 and in keeping with IRS regulations, recommends the following minimum amounts for Reimbursable Accounts (Professional Expenses, Continuing Education and Travel) in 2010 for a total reimbursable amount of at least $2,000: Professional Expenses $500 Continuing Education $500 Local Travel $1,500 Considering that pastors in different parts of the Conference have different needs, the Commission recommends that these amounts be interchangeable. Given the Disciplinary requirements under which the Commission operates, we project requiring minimum amounts for “reimbursables” in the year 2011.

RS- 201 – LAY SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY (Submitted by James McPhee, Assistant to the Bishop and Director of Connectional Ministries) (Adopted after amendment, at the Saturday Morning session, June 20, 2009) INTRODUCTION Since 1997, The New England Annual Conference has had a Clergy Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedure. In 2003, the Annual Conference instructed the Steering Committee for the Response and Intervention Team to draft a policy concerning sexual misconduct by laypersons thus recognizing that clergy are not the only leaders in the church that may be accused of, or subjected to, sexual misconduct. The following policy outlines the process for handling complaints of lay sexual misconduct. It also is intended as a teaching tool for our churches and our Annual Conference as we all strive to maintain our congregations as safe environments for all. We offer this policy with the hope that open discussion and sharing will take place in our churches and Annual Conference about respecting the personal boundaries of others so that our churches may truly be safe and open places for all God’s people. THEOLOGICAL PROLOGUE We celebrate that all persons are created in the image and likeness of God and are called, through Jesus Christ, to be in life-giving relationships with God and other persons. As we live in these life-giving relationships within our congregations, we come to recognize and affirm that all life is contingent upon the grace of God. We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is created to be one community with each member holding a significant presence and purpose. When any part of the community is injured, physically, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally, the well being of the whole community is violated and all suffer. When sexual exploitation and other power abuse occur, the entire community suffers. The purpose of a Lay Misconduct Policy and Procedure is to help define boundaries for living together, to develop a process to deal with lay misconduct, and to provide resources to bring healing and restoration to the church community. DEFINITIONS Sexual Misconduct includes all expressions of sexual and gender harassment, exploitation and abuse as well as sexual abuse within the relationships of our covenant communities. It includes sexual harassment, which is defined in The 2008 Book of Discipline, paragraph 161(I) as, “Any unwanted sexual advance or demand, either verbal or physical, which is reasonably perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating or coercive. Sexual harassment must be understood as an exploitation of a power relationship rather than an exclusively sexual issue. Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, the creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender.” Descriptive examples of sexual misconduct include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Improper verbal and visual behavior: the inappropriate use of sexually explicit words, gestures or images including pornography. 2. Seductive behavior: inappropriate and offensive behavior, but without threat of repercussion. 3. Sexual bribery: solicitation of sexual activity or other sex-related behavior by promise of rewards. 4. Sexual coercion: coercion of sexual activity by threat of punishment. 5. Sexual imposition: gross sexual imposition like prolonged gazing, fondling, grabbing, assault or rape. ASSUMPTIONS 1. Justice requires providing a setting in which the complainant may share her or his story and be heard with openness and compassion; providing a means by which judgment can be made as to the validity of the complaint; and providing clear, consistent steps, known to all participants, which will lead to achieving justice. Such steps may include: protecting the vulnerable, calling the abuser into account by confrontation and the imposition of consequences, providing pastoral care and vindicating the victim or the accused person if the complaint is deemed not valid. 2. If there is suspicion of child sexual molestation or harassment one should be familiar with relevant state law and abide by it. 3. In this policy a "complainant" is understood to be a person who submits a written and signed complaint. While a complainant may also be an alleged victim, the Policy of the New England Conference does not assume that the complainant is an actual victim. The complainant may be someone other than the person against whom the alleged offense was committed. The term "victim/survivor" will be used for the person against whom the offense was committed if the accused person makes a confession of misconduct or is proven to be guilty. 4. When sexual misconduct occurs, there are many victims: the person(s) who has been abused, the

42

spouse(s) and families of the abused person(s), the spouse and family of the accused person, and the congregation(s) and the larger community surrounding them. While all these victims are not addressed by current disciplinary procedures of the United Methodist Church, all are hurt when sexual misconduct occurs. The Response and Intervention Team of the Conference will be available to provide care for the accused person and family, the complainant(s) and families, as well as appropriate intervention on behalf of the congregation(s) or the larger community. When allegations of sexual misconduct are made, the complainant(s), the alleged victim(s), and the accused person, will receive sensitive and respectful care from the Response Team. Justice for the accused person will also be sought. Reasonable care will be taken to protect the privacy of the accused person, the complainant(s) and the victim(s). POLICY FOR HANDLING LAY MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS 1. Initial Steps Anyone who feels that he/she has experienced sexual misconduct by a member of the congregation should first contact the pastor of the congregation and/or the SPRC (Staff Parish Relations Committee) or PPRC (Pastor Parish Relations Committee) chair and/or the District Superintendent. It will often be the pastor who will need to respond to the situation of alleged misconduct or inappropriate behavior. Allegations may come in a number of ways including verbally, electronically, in a note, or through a phone call. The person(s) receiving the allegations should always listen carefully and seriously and, if the allegation/complaint is coming second hand, try to clearly determine who has direct knowledge of the alleged conduct or incident. The District Superintendent should be notified, either by the pastor, SPRC/PPRC chair, or the complainant. The Response and Intervention Team may also be called in by the District Superintendent. The Team Case Manager will deploy Team members who, together with the District Superintendent, will be in contact and be on call to support the complainant(s), the accused, and the local congregation. (Members of the Pastor/Parish Committee, Lay Leaders, and other key lay persons and staff of the local church as well as District Superintendents and other Conference personnel should have the contact information for the Team Case Manager and a current list of Response Team members.) The person against whom the allegation is made must be removed from leadership, service or ministry until a process of fact-finding and or investigation is completed. As allegations are made and heard, all parties are encouraged to take one or more of the following actions: 1) Keep a diary listing contacts, conversations, as well as the details of any alleged offenses. 2) Understand the procedures available within this policy and The Book of Discipline for dealing with the problem. 3) When appropriate, consider a referral to a professional counselor. The Response and Intervention Team will compile a list of these persons as a resource for the particular geographical area. 2. Fact-Finding and Filing a Written Complaint -- For persons in local churches All those involved in such a difficult circumstance – complainant, congregation, pastor, and accused -- should not neglect their prayer life. The connection with God especially needs to be fostered in such a time. Active support from a Spiritual Director or prayer group or supportive spiritual friend may be crucial. In the initial meeting with the complainant and/or alleged victim, the focus needs to be on clarifying the facts of the allegation. A third party, SPRC member or lay leader will be present as listener in this initial meeting. Trauma, fear, anger, loss of trust and powerful memories will likely be present with the person making the allegation. With gentleness, the facts need to be clarified: who, what, when, where, how. Knowing what did not happen can be as important as what did happen. The person hearing the complainant and/or alleged victim needs to take notes, and ask for the allegation to be in writing in the complainant’s own words. If the complainant cannot or will not put the allegation in writing, the written notes by a third party can be the basis for a statement concerning the allegations. The pastor and/or the District Superintendent may need to engage in some initial fact finding to make an initial determination if the allegation requires legal action, intervention from the police or child protective services. There may be circumstances where there is a legal obligation to act, even if the complainant and/or alleged victim asks that this not be done. Note: If the party involved is a minor, the pastor is mandated to report the alleged misconduct to the police or the child welfare authorities. In these cases, it is not the responsibility of the reporting person to investigate the charges. That is the

43

responsibility of the authorities. If the person making the allegation states that others may have observed the alleged behavior, these third parties should be contacted as part of a fact-finding process. In a non-leading manner, these persons should be asked if they personally have observed anything that may have given them concern. The inquiring person should not disclose the original allegations and/or persons involved. Written notes should be made of these conversations. The pastor and/or the District Superintendent should ask what initial support the complainant and/or alleged victim would find helpful. The pastor and/or the District Superintendent may ask what outcome the complainant and/or alleged victim may envision. No guarantee of a specific outcome should be made. The steps of this process should be clearly outlined. 3. Immediate next steps: If a written complaint is filed with the pastor or SPRC, the District Superintendent and the Case Manager of the Response and Intervention Team are to be called. The DS and Case Manager are to be informed of the allegation and kept apprised of any developments. If the public media learns of the allegations, it is New England Conference policy to have the Conference Communications Director available as a resource to work with the Pastor and/or the District Superintendent to respond to all media contacts and requests for information. The Communications Director may be contacted by the District Superintendent in order to consult with the Pastor in preparing a response for the media, even if there is no media coverage or current inquiry. A press statement will be available for the Pastor to distribute in the event of any media inquiries. This press release also will be given to the congregation with clear instructions about where media inquiries are to be directed. 4. Ongoing Follow-up For the sake of accuracy and protection of the facts, detailed notes should be kept of key conversations, statements, meetings, and phone calls. 5. When Disclosure is Necessary After a resolution is reached, the Pastor and District Superintendent may, for the health and protection of the local church and to assure justice, recommend that the District Superintendent share pertinent information with the PPRC or SPRC who may choose to disclose this with the members of the local congregation. 6. Lay Charges Language dealing with chargeable offenses and judicial complaints can be found in paragraphs 2702 and 2703 in the 2008 Book of Discipline. Nothing in this policy should be construed as contradicting the processes and/or requirements of the Discipline. Rather, this policy seeks to provide a more detailed process for persons in a local church and others who would assist in dealing with a possible case of misconduct. 7. Policy Visibility That this policy be published and placed in a prominent part of the church where it can be read. STRATEGIES FOR EDUCATION 1. Introduction To enable the implementation of this policy, the Steering Committee for the Response and Intervention Team will be responsible for explaining the procedures in this policy and for providing education for clergy and laypersons on issues relating to sexual ethics for laypersons. Quadrennial training will be conducted for active clergy, the Cabinet, and local church SPRC members. The Steering Committee will review the policy and discuss further training each quadrennium. 2. Evaluation of Policy and its Implementation Each person who has been involved with the procedures of this policy is invited to reflect on the process and give feedback to the Steering Committee of the Response and Intervention Team. Persons who have feedback, concerns or questions are encouraged to contact the chair of the Steering Committee because evaluation can be a helpful tool for continuous improvement in the policy and its implementation. [Names and/or churches involved will not be disclosed by the committee chair.] 3. Education about the Policy The Conference will provide this policy to every church, every pastor, and every PPRC/SPRC Chair via electronic or postal mail. The policy will be placed on the Conference web site and annual notifications of the policy’s existence and location will be sent via conference communications. This policy is to be posted in a plain and visible place in each local church. In order to educate clergy and laity about this policy, the Steering Committee will offer workshops to review the policy and provide education on prevention of sexual misconduct. Local church

PPRC's (or SPRC’s) will be expected to attend these workshops in order to teach the congregation about the function of this policy. District education will include methods for presenting the issues to the congregation. Education will be ongoing. 4. Prevention Education To be effective in preventing sexual misconduct, education must be a priority for the Church. Such education includes in-service training, growth in self-awareness, a disciplined spiritual life and the clarification of one's relationship with community. A. Local Church Training The PPRC or SPRC is charged with teaching the congregation (for example, through youth and adult education, worship, conversation) about ethical sexual conduct in the congregation. Therefore, the PPRC or SPRC is responsible for seeking out resources, identified in Section III and utilizing resources provided by the New England Conference, General Board of Discipleship, Safe Sanctuaries, General Commission on the Status and Role of Women, and the Board of Laity, through which it can inform itself about the dynamics of issues surrounding appropriate sexual boundaries, and clergy and lay sexual ethics and misconduct. The Conference program agencies and personnel (for example, the District Committees On Ministry, United Methodist Women, United Methodist Men, the Conference Lay Leader and the Commission On the Status and Role Of Women) are responsible for providing continuing education for the laity about sexuality and ethics. Traditional laity gatherings such as Annual Conference, District Trainings, Cluster events, and the Board of the Laity are opportunities for such training and refection. B. Clergy Training All clergy in the New England Conference are required to have Sexual Ethics training each quadrennium. Lay misconduct information and discussion shall be included in this training. In addition, Clergy should make every effort to attend any PPRC/SPRC training on Lay Misconduct. RESOURCES 1 Sample Local Church Lay Misconduct Policies (to be developed) 2 Safe Sanctuaries: www.gbod.org/safesanctuaries . Resources include sample policies, evaluation forms, DVD trainings and guidelines, “healthy congregations” studies and study materials, staff contacts and other resources. 3 National/State Sex Offender Registry: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/cac/registry.htm 4 Child Protective Services: Connecticut - http://www.ct.gov/dss/site/default.asp Maine - Child Protective Services -- http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/ocfs/cw/abuse.shtml Maine - Adult Protective Services -- http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oes/resource/aps.htm Massachusetts -- http://www.mass.gov/dss New Hampshire -- http://www.dhhs.state.nh.us/DHHS/DCYF/default.htm Rhode Island -- http://www.preventchildabuse-ri.org/ Vermont -- http://dcf.vermont.gov/child_protection

Each Annual Conference would belong to a Regional Conference which would be able to organize sub-units called Jurisdictional Conferences. On May 1, 2008, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Fort Worth, Texas, the following Constitutional Amendment was made by a recorded vote of 749 Yes, 119 No. It is now presented to the Annual Conferences for vote.

If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 30 (¶ 30) would read:

The regional conferences shall meet within the year succeeding the meeting of the General Conference at such times and places as shall have been determined by the preceding respective regional conferences or by commissions appointed by them or by the General Conference. (The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)

Add “In those regional conferences where there are no jurisdictional conferences,” at the beginning of ¶ 31.2 and delete “central” before “conferences” and add “regional” before “conferences.” Add “In those regional conferences where there are jurisdictional conferences, bishops shall be elected by the respective jurisdictional conferences.” Delete “central” before “conferences” and add “regional” before “conferences” in ¶ 31.3, .6, and .7 and add “(The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)” at end of the paragraph. If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 31 (¶ 31) would read:

The regional conferences shall have the following powers and duties and such others as may be conferred by the General Conference:

1. To promote the evangelistic, educational, missionary, social-concern, and benevolent interests and institutions of the Church within their own boundaries. 2. In those regional conferences where there are no jurisdictional conferences, to elect the bishops for the respective regional conferences in number as may be determined from time to time, upon a basis fixed by the General Conference, and to cooperate in carrying out such plans for the support of their bishops as may be determined by the General Conference. In those regional conferences where there are jurisdictional conferences, bishops shall be elected by the respective jurisdictional conferences. 3. To establish and constitute such regional conference boards as may be required and to elect their administrative officers. 4. To determine the boundaries of the annual conferences within their respective areas. 5.

RS- 314 – PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT – XIV (Submitted by action of General Conference) (Adopted Friday Afternoon, June 19, 2009) Rationale: The proposed amendment allows the General Conference to create similar structures for all of our world-wide church. Each Annual Conference would belong to a Regional Conference which would be able to organize sub-units called Jurisdictional Conferences. On May 1, 2008, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Fort Worth, Texas, the following Constitutional Amendment was made by a recorded vote of 629 Yes, 248 No. It is now presented to the Annual Conferences for vote. In the 2004 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 32, Article I, (2008 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 32, Article I) amend by deletion and addition, as follows: Delete “central” before “conferences” and add “regional” before “conferences” and add “(The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)” at end of the paragraph. In a separate action on ¶ 35, an editorial change was proposed to replace “probationary members” with “provisional members” wherever the term appears in the constitution. If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 32 (¶ 32) would read:

The annual conference shall be composed of clergy and lay members. The clergy membership shall consist of deacons and elders in full connection, provisional members, associate members, and local pastors under appointment. The lay membership shall consist of professing members elected by each charge, the diaconal ministers, the active deaconesses and home missioners under episcopal appointment within the bounds of the annual conference, the conference president of United Methodist Women, the conference president of United Methodist Men, the conference lay leader, district lay leaders, the conference director of Lay Speaking Ministries, Conference Secretary of Global Ministries (if lay), the president or equivalent officer of the conference young adult organization, the president of the conference youth organization, the chair of the annual conference college student organization, and one young person between the ages of twelve (12) and seventeen (17) and one young person between the ages of eighteen (18) and thirty (30) from each district to be selected in such a manner as may be determined by the annual conference. In the annual conferences of the regional conferences, the four-year participation and the two-year membership requirements may be waived by the annual conference for young persons under thirty (30) years of age. Such persons must be professing members of The United Methodist Church and active participants at the time of election. Each charge served by more than one clergy shall be entitled to as many lay members as there are clergy members. The lay members shall have been for the two years next preceding their election members of The United Methodist Church and shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years next preceding their election. If the lay membership shall number less than the clergy members of the annual conference, the annual conference shall, by its own formula, provide for the election of additional lay members to equalize lay and clergy membership of the annual conference. (The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)

AND

RS- 315 – PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT – XV (Submitted by action of General Conference) (Adopted Friday Afternoon, June 19, 2009) Rationale: The proposed amendment allows definition of the lay and clergy membership of the annual conference by the General Conference without going through the constitutional amendment process. This portion of the Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church (Section VI, Article I of the Constitution) has been amended 16 times since 1968. On May 1, 2008, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Fort Worth, Texas, the following Constitutional Amendment was made by a recorded vote of 718 Yes, 117 No. It is now presented to the Annual Conferences for vote.

56

In the 2004 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 32, Article I, (2008 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 32, Article I) amend by deletion and addition, as follows: Delete everything in the first paragraph following “shall be composed of” and add “lay and clergy members as defined by the General Conference. Lay members shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for one year preceding their election.” If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 32 (¶ 32) would read:

The annual conference shall be composed of lay and clergy members as defined by the General Conference. Lay members shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for one year preceding their election. If the lay membership should number less than the clergy members of the Annual Conference, the Annual Conference shall by its own formula, provide for the election of additional lay members to equalize lay and clergy membership of the Annual Conference.

AND

If both Amendments XIV and XV are adopted, the resulting paragraph would read:

The annual conference shall be composed of lay and clergy members as defined by the General Conference. Lay members shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for one year preceding their election. If the lay membership should number less than the clergy members of the Annual Conference, the Annual Conference shall by its own formula, provide for the election of additional lay members to equalize lay and clergy membership of the Annual Conference.

Add “(The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)” at end of the paragraph. If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 33 (¶ 33) would read:

The annual conference is the basic body in the Church and as such shall have reserved to it the right to vote on all constitutional amendments, on the election of clergy and lay delegates to the General, regional and jurisdictional conferences, on all matters relating to the character and conference relations of its clergy members, and on the ordination of clergy and such other rights as have not been delegated to the General Conference under the Constitution, with the exception that the lay members may not vote on matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy except that the lay members of the conference board of ordained ministry may vote on matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy, with the further exception that lay members of the district committee on ordained ministry be full participating members of the district committee on ordained ministry with vote.

57

AND

RS- 317 – PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT – XVII (Submitted by action of General Conference) (Adopted Friday Afternoon, June 19, 2009) Rationale: The proposed amendment would make supporting constitutional changes to allow reinstatement of legislation adopted by the 2004 General Conference and subsequently declared unconstitutional by the Judicial Council to allow lay persons on the committee on investigation to vote on matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy.

If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 34 (¶ 34) would read:

The annual conference shall elect clergy and lay delegates to the General Conference and to its jurisdictional and regional conference in the manner provided in this section, Articles IV and V. The persons first elected up to the number determined by the ratio for representation in the General Conference shall be representatives in that body.

On May 1, 2008, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Fort Worth, Texas, the following Constitutional Amendment was made by a recorded vote of 629 Yes, 246 No. It is now presented to the Annual Conferences for vote. In the 2004 Book of Discipline, Division Three, ¶ 49, Article V, (2008 Book of Discipline, Division Three, ¶ 49, Article V) amend by deletion and addition, as follows: In the first sentence, before “conferences” delete “ or central” and before “conferences” add “and regional” and in the first sentence of the second paragraph delete “central” before “conference” and add “regional” before “conference” and add “(The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)” at end of the paragraph. If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 49 (¶ 49) would read:

The bishops shall have residential and presidential supervision in the jurisdictional and regional conferences in which they are elected or to which they are transferred. Bishops may be transferred from one jurisdiction to another jurisdiction for presidential and residential supervision under the following conditions: (1) The transfer of bishops may be on either of two bases: (a) a jurisdiction that receives a bishop by transfer from another jurisdiction may transfer to that jurisdiction or to a third

63

jurisdiction one of its own bishops eligible for transfer, so that the number transferred in by each jurisdiction shall be balanced by the number transferred out; or (b) a jurisdiction may receive a bishop from another jurisdiction and not transfer out a member of its own College of Bishops. (2) No bishop shall be transferred unless that bishop shall have specifically consented. (3) No bishop shall be eligible for transfer unless the bishop shall have served one quadrennium in the jurisdiction that elected the bishop to the episcopacy. (4) All such transfers shall require the approval by a majority vote of the members present and voting of the jurisdictional committees on episcopacy of the jurisdictions that are involved. After the above procedures have been followed, the transferring bishop shall become a member of the receiving College of Bishops and shall be subject to residential assignment by that jurisdictional conference. A bishop may be assigned by the Council of Bishops for presidential service or other temporary service in another jurisdiction than that which elected the bishop; provided that the request is made by a majority of the bishops in the jurisdiction of the proposed service. In the case of an emergency in any jurisdiction or regional conference through the death or disability of a bishop or other cause, the Council of Bishops may assign a bishop from another jurisdiction or regional conference to the work of the said jurisdiction or regional conference, with the consent of a majority of the bishops of that jurisdiction or regional conference. (The change in name from “central” to “regional” takes effect January 1, 2013 at which time this parenthetical procedural note will be removed from the Constitution.)

If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 50 (¶ 50) would read:

The bishops, both active and retired, of The Evangelical United Brethren Church and of The Methodist Church at the time union is consummated shall be bishops of The United Methodist Church. The bishops of The Methodist Church elected by the jurisdictions, the active bishops of The Evangelical United Brethren Church at the time of union, and bishops elected by the jurisdictions of The United Methodist Church shall have life tenure. Each bishop elected by a regional conference of The Methodist Church shall have such tenure as the regional conference electing him shall have determined. The jurisdictional conference shall elect a standing committee on episcopacy to consist of one clergy and one lay delegate from each annual conference, on nomination of the annual conference delegation. The committee shall review the work of the bishops, pass on their character and official administration, and report to the jurisdictional conference its findings for such action as the conference may deem appropriate within its constitutional warrant of power. The committee shall recommend the assignments of the bishops to their respective residences for final action by the jurisdictional conference.

17. Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and official administration (¶¶604.4, 605.6)? Bishop Weaver, the vast majority of clergy exercise their duties faithfully within the bounds of our covenant with God and each other. We celebrate the spiritual vitality evident in one another and in the congregations we serve. We acknowledge that Christian leadership is demanding, potentially wounding and often dangerous to fragile human spirits. We confess that, overwhelmed by the magnitude of our sacred calling, we find ourselves sometimes conforming to the standards of the world rather than being God’s agents of transformation. Many of us have succumbed to the norms of the culture, defining our personal worth by our compensation; feeling demeaned if we have not been affirmed with an increase in salary, or offered what we perceive to be the “right” appointment. Some of us place restrictions beyond the parameters defined within the covenant on our ability to itinerate thus hindering the work of the Holy Spirit through the appointment process. There are some who have neglected the sacred task of caring for their congregations, watching hopelessly and helplessly as congregations decline and doing little to equip God’s people for renewal and fruitful discipleship. Some have not been faithful in submitting statistical and other reports on time; a few have not submitted these reports at all, thereby disrupting our covenant of mutual accountability. Various complaints have been filed against members of the body. At every stage of the complaint process, the Bishop has sought means of healing, acting out of a restorative, rather than vindictive stance. This is not an abrogation of accountability, but a means of achieving accountability within a system that seeks to serve God, putting things right, seeking healing for both victim and perpetrator. We also confess that we are often far from being “united in trust.” We sometimes find ourselves suspecting one another’s motives and even undermining one another’s labors. Because we mirror the society in which we live, we are sometimes cynical and critical of the very source of our life, the church, the body of Christ. Distrust among us, often manifests itself in the way we respond to those we serve, the way we approach what it means to be a people called and sent to serve in the name of Christ, the way we interact with those who are different from us but are persons of sacred worth created in the image of God. We stand convicted as participants in cultural and ecclesiastical systems which function by racist practices, marginalizing persons of color, both clergy and lay within the bounds of the New England Conference. We live at an accelerated pace which often causes us to neglect ourselves spiritually and physically, reduce our commitment to family and friends and neglect healthy disciplines for both our bodies and souls. As we celebrate the faithfulness grace already makes possible in us, we acknowledge our many shortcomings, some of which are known only to God and a few individuals among us. We stand before God in this annual moment of accountability acknowledging our need for forgiveness and the gift of God’s grace. We commit ourselves to a renewed and renewing covenant with God, with one another as partners in ministry and with those we serve. May God empower us to live into the future as a people “transformed by the Holy Spirit, united in trust” as we boldly proclaim Christ to the world.

109 2009 CONFERENCE REPORTS

AFRICA PLANNING COMMITTEE

The Africa Planning Committee has been making progress on our goals of connecting and relationship building with our brothers and sisters in the West Angola Conference since Bishop Weaver led a delegation traveling to Angola in January of 2008. During that trip, we learned of the many ministries that the churches of Angola are involved in— education, occupational training, and health ministry, including the new Methodist University, which includes 8 floors of classrooms and facilities with additional plans for growth already beginning; the Sao Paulo school and social program teaching vocational subjects like cooking, design, and information technology to more than 520 students in two shifts; the Bom Jesus church (translates to “Good Jesus”) which has built a clinic and pharmacy for the community – the only one for about 50 miles; and a vocational fishing project at a very poor and remote area called Barra Dande. Earlier this year, the Conference provided funds to help and support pastor salaries – some of whom had not been paid in more than six months - through the previous contributions from local churches through the “Adopt a Pastor” program, and from a portion of the monies received from the Together for Tomorrow (TFT) capital campaign. We later contributed $20,000 from TFT funds to assist local churches in rebuilding after tremendous storms and flooding damaged church facilities in many areas. While important, those on the Africa Planning Committee also believe that the opportunities for mutual connection extend beyond financial support, and through planning and working with the West Angola Conference, the previous adopt-a-pastor program is being evolved to work on establishing “Sister Church” relationships. We learned, through discussions and listening to the needs of the churches in Angola, that it would be more effective for churches in New England to create these sister church relationships, rather than focusing only on supporting a specific pastor. Today, we have two churches beginning to establish these sister church relationships, and five more that have expressed interest. The new sister churches are: o First United Methodist Church at Chatham, MA - with Igreja Metodista Unida De Maria Madalena, and o Church Hill United Methodist Church in Norwell , MA - with Igreja Metodista Unida Luis Correra Kizembe The Africa Planning Committee will of course continue to work to address the financial needs of pastor salary support and other projects. Both the New England Conference and local churches can support the need to supplement pastors’ salaries through our TFT funds and through the Conference Advance Special for the West Angola Covenant. But as the sister church programs show, our Covenant relationship is about more than just finances; we also want churches to develop deep and rich connections with the people in the West Angola Conference – connections based on mutual support and relationships through shared communication and prayer. These kinds of connections can be made whether or not a church is able to contribute any funds. The Africa Planning Committee has a list and contact information for West Angola churches eager to start “Sister Church” relationships with local churches in the New England Those wishing to connect with a church in the West Angola Conference are encouraged to contact any member of the Africa Planning Committee: Abiot Moyo, Dot Hollenbeck, Oscar Harrell, Alexx Wood, Dick Harding, Ed Grant, Don Gray, Carolyn Gray. I also take this opportunity to give thanks for their faithful service on this committee. We look forward to continuing to facilitate relationships and connections, as we walk in ministry with our brothers and sisters in Christ in West Angola.

Abiot Moyo, Chairperson - 781-935-1819 or [email protected].

ASSISTANT TO THE BISHOP/DIRECTOR OF CONNECTIONAL MINISTRIES

Many ministries in the New England Annual Conference have been blessings during 2008: 9 Growing youth ministry zones (regions)/CCYM sponsorship of leadership training 9 Natural Church Development – growing the infrastructure for this program and training persons within our conference who can be leaders/trainers 9 Planning for a great 2009 Church and Society sponsored Living Faith, Seeking Justice event with Tex Sample 9 Another hugely successful NEAC School of Congregational Development

110 9 Three camping sites that are very strong (Aldersgate, Mechuwana, Wanakee) 9 New faith communities and church starts in several areas of our conference 9 Staff Workshops in all districts on worship plus Midnight Oil, Igniting Ministries, and other creative worship events in our conference 9 Conference Retreat Center at Rolling Ridge with many creative program offerings 9 District Leadership Academies in several places 9 A renewed effort in Hispanic/Latino Ministries – new leadership, new committee, new energies 9 A successful Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation (Upper Room) These ministries and many others reflect the continuing commitment to support and strengthen our local churches to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. It is a great gift to anticipate joining with our United Methodist sisters and brothers in Vermont as a “new and improved” New England Conference. Already we are beginning to know and work with Vermont folk and are blessed by their faith, spirit, and ministries. As we look ahead there are many challenges in our life and ministries together. We continue to work hard in many different ways to support local congregations in being healthy, alive in ministry and mission, and engaged in the transforming work of making disciples of Jesus Christ. We struggle in the midst of economic anxiety and hardships and seek to maintain and proclaim the vitality and necessity of Christ’s work in the world. This may be our biggest challenge: to expand our witness and mission in the midst of our anxieties and difficulties. The conference staff persons and consultants with whom I work are tremendous. They devote so much of their gifts and energies to support local church and conference ministries, and I give thanks to God for each of them: Curtis Brown, Greg Carpenter, Jennifer Carpenter, Evelyn Johnson-Moore, Stewart Lanier, Barbara Lemmel, Bonnie Marden, Rosemary McNulty, Jean and Michael Moore, Larry Peacock, Jerry Rardin, Wanda Stahl, Norm Thombs, Betsy Waters, and Alexx Wood. I am privileged to serve with so many gifted people in the “connectional ministries” to which I am called in these days.

James T. McPhee, March, 2009

BOARD OF LAITY/CONFERENCE LAY LEADER

During the Annual Conference of 2008, I was re-elected as the Conference Lay Leader for a period of four years which ends in 2012. Such a vote of confidence serves as a compelling reminder of the tremendous responsibility of being a servant leader. In fact, paragraph 125 of the Discipline 2004 reveals that “All Christians are called through their baptism to this ministry of servant hood in the world to the glory of God and for human fulfillment.” Paragraph 607 of the 2008 Book of Discipline states that the Conference Lay Leader…”will have the responsibility for fostering awareness of the role of the laity both within the congregation and through their ministries in the home, workplace, community, and world in achieving the mission of the Church and enabling and supporting lay participation in the planning and decision making processes of the annual conference, district and local church in cooperation with the bishop, district superintendents and pastor.” This past year was filled with significant major meetings, meetings and more meetings, attended by both laity and clergy. They were the General Conference, the Annual Conference, the Northeastern Jurisdiction and the Quadrennial Training. Many proposals and resolutions were offered, passed, rejected or referred for future action. The four focus areas and seven pathways were specifically mentioned or discussed at these meetings. They are listed respectively: As a denomination we have committed to follow Christ’s example as we: 1. Develop principled Christian leaders for the church and the world 2. Create new places for new people by starting new congregations and renewing existing ones 3. Engage in ministry with the poor 4. Stamp out killer diseases (Malaria, HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis) by improving health globally These four foci are embodied in the seven action pathways of the United Methodist Church. a. Eliminate Poverty in Community with the Poor b. Eliminate Racism as we expand Authentic Racial/Ethnic Ministries c. Reach and Transform the Lives of New Generations of Young people d. Teach the Wesleyan Model of forming Disciples of Jesus Christ e. Develop New Congregations f. Transform Existing Congregations g. Strengthen Clergy and Lay Leadership

111 The last four pathways are the inward journey to build up the body of Christ and the first three are the outward movement to transform the world. Both are essential, one cannot exist faithfully without the other. At the recent Association of Annual Conference Lay Leaders meeting in Sacramento, California, the Rev. Dr. James B. Scott shared some interesting statistics. He stated that “from 1968 to 2006, membership dropped from about 10.8 million to 7.9 million. In 1940, the average age was thirty-something, today it is sixty- something. All of the critical indicators of health have dropped: membership, worship attendance, percentage of giving, children, youth, and young adult attendance.” He referred to Dr. Lovett Weems of Wesley Theological Seminary frequently expressing in his writings and lectures about his concerns of the future of the United Methodist Church given these type numbers and conditions. Needless to say, various perspectives were offered as possible reasons for the above stated paragraph. Additionally, much concern and discussions addressed the lack of presence and participation of the laity at all levels of the United Methodist Church. There was a general feeling that despite their training, spiritual gifts or academic preparation, they were not valued or considered acceptable by clergy. The President of the National Lay Leaders reminded us of our Mission statement. The Mission Statement relates very simply that in leading United Methodists to make disciples of Jesus Christ, we will: Enable the mutual ministry of lay and clergy Strengthen the voice and presence of the laity and Equip our members for spiritual leadership throughout the world. The Board of Laity members have been busy with their various responsibilities in their respective areas. Paul Cobb is the new President for the United Methodist Men. Rebecca Hewitt is the new Conference Director for Lay Speaking. We also have new District Lay Leaders and gladly welcome relations and participation with our sisters and brothers from Vermont. Training will be held for the new District Lay Leaders and Lay Leaders in Philadelphia from October 9-11, 2009. Stay tuned and committed!

BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY

One of four objectives of the board of Church and Society is to “Encourage Christian lines of action that assist humankind to move toward a world where peace and justice are achieved.” (The Book of Discipline, Paragraph 1003) The ministry of the conference board of Church and Society for 2008-2009 began with encouraging a public witness action against War in Iraq during the 2008 annual conference. We have called the members of the conference to put 3200 dowels in the front lawn of the chapel representing more than 4000 American troops and 600,000 Iraqis whose lives were lost during this unjust war. Each dowel represented 200 lives. This Christian action continued throughout the three days of the conference. Another Christian line of action during the conference was our call for Green Conference, where our Climate Change Task Force has made efforts toward challenging all congregations of our conference to be environmentally responsible. With the Conference Congregational Development committee we awarded Ziegler Award in Excellence in Preaching to Rev. Eric Dupee. The Social Justice Action Award was given to Rosa Capella for her life time work for peace and justice. The board continued its responsibility of calling and challenging the members of the conference, local communities, and the society to move toward God’s will for peace and justice. We carried out this responsibility through the ministries of “Designated Passion.” We have nine areas of designated passion. Each ministry is led by one or two members of the committee, who are responsible for organizing and carrying out its ministry. The following is the list of passions: Addictions and Prevention Recovery Team – Philip McClintock- works on the issue of addiction/prevention and offers training workshops and healing and recovery services in the local church Economic Justice/Affordable Housing – Gary Richard – works on the issue of economic justice, especially on affordable housing Health Care Justice – Evelyn Johnson Moore- works for universal health care for all both within the states of New England Conference and at the federal level HIV/AIDS- Donna Costa- works on the issue of global HIV/AIDS, especially on United Methodist Global AIDS fund Labor Justice/Workers’ Right – Laurel Scott- advocates for workers’ right and the labor justice Mental Illness/ Homelessness – Pam Brown- brings awareness to the issue of mental illness in the local churches and advocates for the right of the mentally ill Middle East Justice/ Divestment – Bill Aldrich- works on the issue of just peace in Palestine-Israeli relations

112 Reconciling Ministry – Marion Grant – works on challenging the conference on the issue of inclusiveness, especially on the issue of sexual orientation Climate Change Task Force – Valerie Bell – works on implementing the Climate Change Resolution passed in 2007 annual conference Mike Clark worked closely with the board as the conference Peace with Justice Ministry Coordinator. He led six district workshops on integrating worship with peace and justice. Hearing the outcry of people who are suffering because of injustice and oppression and working to bring justice in our church and in our world is not an option but a calling for all Christians including United Methodists. We invite all in the New England Conference to be the voice for the voiceless, the power for the powerless, and the hope for the hopeless.

We Chang, Chair of Church and Society

BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY

As we began the new quadrennium we welcomed many new members to the Board of Ordained Ministry, and continue to work toward our commitment for more diversity on our Board. We thank our brothers and sisters in Christ who served with us during the last quadrennium, and pray God’s blessing on their work and mission. The GBHEM offered several training courses for the new quadrennium. Ernest Belisle, Lynn McCracken, Susan Evans, Sue Davenport, Steve Murray, and Stephen Mott have attended the trainings that most directly impact their work on the Board. As a result of the GBHEM training, and because we sincerely desire to create the best Board of Ordained Ministry to serve the New England Annual Conference, we have established an ad hoc committee to study ways in which we can improve our system for working with those persons who come before us. We are studying the Best and Worst Practices of Boards of Ordained Ministries throughout the United States. We hope to develop a system where we can offer candidates, provisional members, and those seeking full connection more guidance. We honor our commitment to anti-racism training. In addition to offering workshops at our meetings, we are planning a major event for the fall of 2009. We see this as critical to members of the Board, Cabinet, and District Committees, not only for the work that they do, but also for spiritual development in the Kingdom of God. In an effort to work more efficiently with the Cabinet and the appointment process, we have changed the dates of the Local Pastor Licensing School from May to January. This gives the Cabinet a broader timetable. As we continue to develop new ways of conducting the business of the Board, we have moved into the world of technology. Susan Evans, along with Brick River Technologies and Alexx Wood, developed an electronic system for delivering all candidates written material and worship DVDs to members of the Board. This saves the Board postage and paper. We are grateful for this new chapter in our process. Additionally, Susan Evans and Alexx Wood have created a web page for the Board of Ordained Ministry at http://www.neumc.org/page.asp?pkvalue=235. On this page you will find contact information for members of the Board, the Board of Ordained Ministry Handbook, and any other information that you might need that pertains to the Board. We thank Susan Evans for her outstanding work and commitment as our Registrar. She brings a wealth of gifts to this task. She serves with grace, not only the Board members, but our candidates, provisional members, and those seeking full connection. We are grateful for all that she is. We pray for God’s steadfast love to guide us in the new quadrennium as we move forth to serve in Jesus’ name.

Lynn McCracken and Ernest Belisle, Co-Chairpersons

BOARD OF PENSIONS

The Conference Board of Pensions is charged by the Discipline with helping to provide for the health and welfare of clergy and lay employees of the Conference, both active and retired. The past year has brought into view three major challenges that the Conference Board has been addressing, and will continue to address in the coming year. The first issue is the economic crisis that has gripped this country and the world since the end of the summer of 2008. All assets held for the support of our benefit programs have been affected profoundly. Clergy

113 and lay employees who have seen their retirement accounts diminished have most acutely felt the downturn. The effects of the economic downturn have also been felt by local churches that are facing new difficulties in paying into the various benefit plans that serve their pastors. The General Board web page has been an effective site for communicating with its constituents about the consequences of the economic downturn on benefits. We encourage all members of the Conference who have questions about the effect of the economic situation on benefit-related issues to visit their web site at www.gbophb.org. The second issue is the future of the retiree health benefit plan. The Annual Conference voted in 2007 to adopt a new funding plan to solidify the financing of the retiree health benefit into the near future. RS-119, which was adopted at the 2007 Annual Conference, capped the amount the Conference would pay toward the retiree health benefit for those who retire after January 1, 2012. We strongly encourage pastors who are nearing retirement age to consult the 2007 Conference Journal, and to discuss the changes with Janis Salesi. The future viability of the retiree health benefit depends on the robustness of the world economy in the years ahead. As the retiree health task force wrote in its 2007 report, we are dedicated to protecting the retiree health benefit for all clergy. Our top priority is holding harmless those who are currently retired (including their spouses and survivors) or close to retirement. If world markets experience further declines that go well beyond what we have seen thus far, we will need to revisit the retiree health benefit at the 2010 meeting of the Annual Conference. We are praying that this will not be the case, however. The third issue facing the Conference Board is the coming inclusion of churches in Vermont as part of the New England Annual Conference. Representatives from each of the six Annual Conferences undergoing reconfiguration have begun meeting to try to identify benefit-related issues that will face the geographic expansion of the New England Conference. The Conference Board is bringing to the 2009 Annual Conference a resolution to appoint a Joint Distributing Committee (JDC) to help reconcile pension and benefit issues related to the reconfiguration. We are optimistic that bringing Vermont into the New England Conference will work to the benefit of all United Methodists in the region. Current members of the New England Annual Conference should experience no changes to their benefits because of the merger. In fact, having a larger population base on which to support our benefits program should aid both the current New England Conference and the churches in Vermont who will join with us. The Preachers’ Aid Society continues to work closely with the Board of Pensions on issues relating to retirees. We are most thankful for their staff and their excellent, supportive, and creative work. We encourage congregations to celebrate the last Sunday in October as Retired Pastors’ Sunday and to take a special offering for the Preachers’ Aid Society. We were sorry to lose Charles Carnahan, our Treasurer and Conference Benefits Officer, to the General Board of Discipleship, but we have been blessed by his successor, William Burnside. Janis Salesi continues to amaze us in her role administering our programs on a day-to-day basis.

Charles Stewart III - Chair, Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits

BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

The Boston University School of Theology has had an adventurous year, celebrating the generous deanship of Ray Hart, who served almost six years. Dean Hart worked effectively to build the STH endowment, and he led the faculty back to full strength, bringing new colleagues in Hebrew Bible, New Testament, theology, ethics, psychology and religion, preaching, and worship. These new faculty are dynamic teachers, scholars, and church leaders. They are already giving impressive leadership in STH, alongside the outstanding faculty whom they joined. On January 1, I was privileged to join this team as STH Dean. My first months have been inspiring as I discover the STH community. I am deeply impressed with the strength and vision of STH faculty, students, staff, and alums. With the winds of God at our backs, we are prepared to take up the STH legacy and move boldly into a new era. What has happened during this year? • Kathe Darr was installed as the Harrell F. Beck Scholar of Hebrew Scripture and honored by the Anna Howard Shaw Center (STH-Northeast Jurisdiction Women’s Center). • Hee An Choi and Sam Johnson presented their research on field education in Korean contexts. The team included Paul Chang (United Methodist Council of Korean-American Ministries), HiRho Park (GBHEM), Sandra Bonnette-Kim (First UMC Framingham), and other Korean pastors. • Alumnus Joseph Lowery delivered the benediction at Barack Obama’s inauguration. STH sponsored Boston University’s inauguration event, led by Imani-Sheila Newsome-Camara and framed by the preaching of Dale Andrews.

114 • The Center of Practical Theology published its collaborative study with urban pastors: Sabbath in the City: Sustaining Urban Pastoral Excellence, authored by Bryan Stone and Claire Wolfteich. The Center also sponsored our first annual Theology and Art exhibit. • Tom Porter (founder of JustPeace) and Rodney Petersen (Boston Theological Institute) led the Religion and Conflict Transformation Program to expand its academic offerings and community outreach. Shelly Rambo led the annual fall retreat on religious responses to trauma and was the keynote speaker in the UMC JustPeace convocation on trauma and healing with returning veterans. STH is grateful for a three-year Luce Foundation grant ($375,000) to expand this work. • Kathe Darr and Jennifer Knust engaged the New England Pastors Assembly with questions of scripture and violence. • Wesley Wildman and Kirk Wegter-McNelly planned a Darwin anniversary conference, addressing scientific and ethical issues in social Darwinism and eugenics. • Andrew Shenton won the 2009 Max B. Miller Book Award for Olivier Messiaen’s System of Signs. • STH sponsored its first Earth Day event, featuring the Lakota leader Bill Means and collaborating with BU students and local environmental groups. What is coming? • Anjulet Tucker joins the STH faculty in September 2009. She will teach sociology of religion and continue her impressive research on black Pentecostalism. • The Boston University Global Religion Initiative, chaired by Dana Robert, will generate interreligious, interdisciplinary research and teaching across the University. • STH will widen the Itinerant Faculty Program, making faculty available to speak or confer in churches. • The Pastor-Scholar Program will encourage pastors to take STH courses and share their experience and wisdom in class interactions. • The new curriculum (beginning fall 2010) will accent integrative learning for leadership in congregations, diverse cultures, and a complex world. We celebrate our global student body and, also, our New England home. Many STH students come from the New England Conference, and we enjoy partnerships with local churches and leaders here. We hope to create more New England partnerships in the future. In the 1890s, STH students decided to serve poor people living in Boston, dubbing STH as the “School of the Prophets.” In the 1950s, STH educated leaders of the Civil Rights movement. We join with you now to discern and address the issues that call us to action today. We are proud of our alums who serve in this annual conference, and we offer special thanks to all clergy who are entering retirement status after many years of faithful service. We also celebrate the promise in those gifted persons who will be commissioned and ordained in 2009. We pray for you and your communities, with gratitude for your leadership.

With prayers for you, Mary Elizabeth Moore

CAMP MECHUWANA

2008 marked the 60th Anniversary of ministry for Camp Mechuwana. The year was filled with many memorable moments and events. The year started with a worship service during the New Year’s Eve Junior and Senior High Youth Rally. We are blessed to have a very strong Youth Program that holds events year round. The winter was busy as we prepared for summer camp and many outside groups using the faculties. Mechuwana continues to be busy year round with these groups. In the spring we were excited to break ground on the first of 5 Retreat Buildings located behind the Commons. Many mission groups and individuals worked very hard to complete the building and a few churches and individuals donated money to furnish the rooms. In December the first Retreat Building was completed. The Retreat Building has a living room and 5 bedrooms, each with a private bath. In the fall we were blessed to be able to finish the foundation for the second Retreat Building. This new building and the ones to follow will expand our year-round program allowing us to provide even more opportunities for ministry. Mechuwana came alive in the summer with over 1000 campers coming during the 8 weeks of camp. We were blessed with over 200 volunteers that came to support Mechuwana and its mission. Our Adult Special Needs, Grandparent and Mom/Child camps continue to thrive and be some of our first to fill up. We are fortunate to have a wonderful group of Youth Leaders that add support to the adult volunteers. They are a vital part of our ministry. We had our ACA visit this summer that went really well.

115 Lots of great work was done during the summer by the Missions groups that came from all over the country. Here at camp they worked on the Retreat building, the new bathhouse in the Staff area, and other projects. Locally they spent time at the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn, The Bread of Life Ministries, did work on 4 houses in the area and more. For the summer of 2009 there were many mission groups, including as many as 200 people. On August 2, Mechuwana had a celebration for its 60th Anniversary with over 250 people in attendance. The day was filled with fellowship, activities around camp, music and worship, and a great chicken barbeque. Many of the old camp pictures were available for people to see. Some of the visitors hadn’t been to Mechuwana in over 30 years. It was a great day to see old friends and make new ones. Our Friends of Mechuwana program continues to grow; to date we have raised more than $150,000.00 towards our goal of $500,000.00. These funds are placed in a permanent Endowment helping to secure the future of the wonderful ministry. As we look ahead to next year we are excited to be offering a “You and Me camp” and expanding a canoe trip to an intergenerational program. One of our focuses for next year will be to getting into more local churches to share about the ministries that happen at Mechuwana and about our Friends of Mechuwana program.

CHOREOGRAPHER 2008-2009

Annual Conference 2009 invites us to explore Leadership, one of the four Areas of Focus adopted by the General Conference for the current quadrennium. We welcome Adam Hamilton for three presentations at the beginning of conference to kick off our conference experience with inspiration and wisdom. We expect to extend the invitation beyond Conference members and encourage New England United Methodists to come experience these inspiring presentations. We also welcome Bishop Violet Fisher, an exciting evangelistic preacher to lead us during the Ordination Service on June 20th. Congregations are encouraged to bring their confirmands to this worship experience, certain to be life changing and inspirational. As we explore our theme “The Leader’s Edge”, we will explore our connection to the Biblical story and the ways we continue to live out God’s story. As our New England story continues to unfold, we prepare, for example, to welcome our brothers and sisters in VT into our conference family. The familiar scripture “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” serves as a reminder that our story has meaning when we move from vision to actions that help our story be the realization of God’s vision for peace, justice and grace for all. I give thanks for all the volunteers who offer their talents, time and enthusiasm to help with the hospitality, logistics, organizing, communicating and coordinating that enables us to come together at our annual conference to share worship, conduct business and to share our story both with our conference family and with the world. We are called to be witnesses to the world and to be the Word that walks, prays, and assists our brothers and sisters in the present time. May the Net-work of 2008 lead us to create a renewed Story of faithful witness and leadership in 2009.

CLERGY MISCONDUCT RESPONSE / INTERVENTION TEAM

The Response / Intervention Team and interdisciplinary Steering Committee were structured in 2003 with Marilyn Robb, Coordinator / Case Manager. The R/I Team covers the entire conference. Team members are recruited, received through volunteering, and are men, women, lay, clergy, long time and new church folk, with a priority on the growing diversity that is our conference. The R/I Team works with cases and the Steering Committee oversees Education / Prevention and the coordinating / communication between all boards and committees involved in lay or clergy misconduct. The First Contact brochure, created in 2005 by the R/I Team defines sexual misconduct, the steps for creating a complaint and reporting a violation, and “first contact people”. It is available electronically, from the R/I Team, or at Annual Conference and should be visible and easily accessible in every local church and United Methodist office so that no one will wonder about misconduct and what to do about it. The brochure is currently in English, Spanish by Luis Benavides and is being translated into Korean. The Spanish version, slightly edited, is being taken by Joanne Reich of the General Board of Global Ministries to churches and missions in Latin and South America.

116 The Response / Intervention Team (R/I Team) has increasingly been called upon for lay misconduct situations. A new Clergy Misconduct Policy will be ready for the 2010 Annual Conference session. The R/I Team, also welcoming the Steering Committee, meets in training retreat twice a year. The training has involved a deepening understanding of the one who crosses the boundaries of the sacred trust bestowed upon clergy and lay leadership, and the victim-survivors and the long term impact on their lives. It also spent a weekend with a base in the book, The Sunflower by Holocaust survivor Simon Wiesenthal on the issue of forgiveness which can haunt victims, often congregations, and even the accused. Training is also increasingly necessary in the area of cyber safety. The R/I Team presents each year to the new pastors in Licensing School about the work of the R/I Team and how to prevent misconduct as clergy. It also offers information about responding when one finds themselves serving a church where misconduct occurred. Resource material is distributed with the assumption that information must be readily available for the moment the issue comes forward – simply remembering Licensing School is not adequate. When a violation does occur and a potential victim comes forward to her/his pastor, district superintendent or R/I Team manager, the bishop is immediately informed. A team of at least three to four from the R/I Team is deployed by the case manager to the church – one assigned to the accused, one to the complainant (alleged victim), and one or two to the congregation. This R/I Team works with the leadership of the church and the district superintendent, always keeping the bishop informed. The Conference Communications Director assists the team and / or church when media might be involved. Upon completion of a case, the Steering Committee will reflect on the process but without names of individuals or churches. The general church has placed this issue with the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women (COSROW). A new position and director has been named whose work is defined following this report. For the past six years, leaders in sexual ethics from ten annual conferences along with general church agencies involved in dealing with misconduct issues have come together as a task force to communicate and better coordinate the work being done in the denomination around sexual misconduct. . The New England Conference Steering Committee and Response / Intervention Team and the general church look forward to the day when there is no work for anyone in this area. But until that day arrives, the NEAC is committed to appropriate justice, healing, and clear and adequate education and prevention for everyone. Openness, feedback, honesty, and truth are the ways of Jesus Christ. “No peace lies in the future which is hidden in the present instant.” (Fra Giovanni – 1445-1525)

CLIMATE CHANGE TASK FORCE

Scientists agree that we need to act now in order to prevent the worst effects of global warming. Dr. James Hansen (a NASA climate researcher) warns that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) must not remain above 350 parts per million (ppm) for very long “if humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted.” In November 2008, the level of atmospheric CO2 was 387 ppm; and that figure increases annually. For more information about climate science and the global 350 movement, check out www.350.org (founded by Vermont United Methodist author and Sunday School teacher, Bill McKibben). Call to Symbolic Action: Ring the Bells for Creation Care and Climate Justice! In this situation, the most practical actions may be symbolic actions. We need to change the way we produce and use energy, and we need to do it quickly and worldwide. Only governments can ensure this. We’ll need to keep replacing our incandescent light bulbs with CFLs, conserving energy in our homes and congregations, building green, and recycling. But we now know that such gradual, local changes will not reduce our emissions fast enough. The United Nations is hosting a global climate conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. Unfortunately, the current draft of the treaty is far too weak to create a safe climate future. While we are not in a position to craft the treaty ourselves, we CAN make it clear to the delegates that their goal must be to create a plan that gets us back to 350. We can also call for climate justice – for a treaty that guarantees that poor countries will have a fair chance to develop. A safe climate future need not perpetuate the continuation of mass poverty where people are already suffering. In fact, a safe climate future creates the necessary conditions for human wellbeing everywhere! We need to use our voices (and our church bells) to send a signal to our leaders to act decisively and act now. The Climate Change Task Force is already organizing churches to witness to our responsibility to steward the resources that God has given us. During Earth Week 2009, three United Methodist congregations

117 in New England took the symbolic action of ringing their church bells 350 times in a single day. College Avenue UMC (Somerville, MA), First Church (Winthrop, MA), and St. Nicholas UMC (Hull, MA) stepped out in faith, and members of those communities now welcome you and your congregations to join them! October 24, 2009 is an International Day of Climate Action. With your help and strengthened by the Spirit that animates all life, the Task Force hopes to mobilize 40% of UMC congregations in New England (including Vermont) to bear witness to the need to transform the ways that the world creates and uses energy. Please consider planning a symbolic, public act of witness in your congregation on the weekend of October 24- 25, 2009. The Climate Change Task Force is creating easy-to-use resources for Christian Education programs, church newsletters and websites, sermon and worship preparation, and media outreach. The Task Force is here to help you as you plan your own event. If your church doesn’t have a bell or carillon, maybe you have a hand bell choir or a drum set. Perhaps you’ll decide not to make noise at all. Your congregation could gather that weekend to plant 350 daffodil bulbs. Planting bulbs in October demonstrates our faith in the God of ongoing creation – faith that God breathes life and possibility into even that which seems dead or lost. But such actions also demonstrate our commitment to care for God’s creation – we don’t create the daffodils, but we care for them, as we are called to care for all of God’s creation. The Climate Change Task Force invites you to join us: share your ideas, your passion for people and the planet, your hopes and dreams for a safe climate future for your children and grandchildren, and your desire to protect and keep the world that God created and called “good”!

COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY

The Commission held its only meeting on November 5, 2008 at the Boston University School of Theology Library and Archives. The New England United Methodist Historical Society met there at the same time. Kara Jackman, Conference Archivist, gave both groups tours of the Archives' facilities and holdings. Also on November 5 representatives of the Commission, the School of Theology, and the Troy Annual Conference met to consider the impact of the merger of United Methodist Churches in Vermont with the New England Annual Conference. It was noted that there is not a large amount of archival material to be transferred from Vermont to our Conference's Archives. The merger issue will also be discussed at the May 2009 Northeastern Jurisdiction meeting of Commissions on Archives and History to be held at the Wyoming Annual Conference. The Commission and the Boston University School of Theology discussed the need to create a written agreement regarding the ownership of the archival materials, regulations on their use, and services expected from the Archives staff. A committee consisting of Reverend Margaret Bickford, Reverend Pat Thompson, Kara Jackman, and David White will develop a draft of an agreement to share with the School of Theology. Among the concerns for both the Commission and the Historical Society are three New England Heritage Centers. These are the Cox Memorial UMC in Hallowell, Maine, the Conference displays at the St. Paul's UMC in Newport, Rhode Island, and the oldest Methodist parsonage in the Conference located at the Crystal Lake UMC in Connecticut. The Commission voted to return to the practice of holding two meetings each year. In addition to our fall session, we will meet in May 2009 at St. Paul's UMC in Newport to review and develop a plan for the collection of materials displayed there. Kara Jackman and David White held a preliminary meeting there in January with Melinda Callan and Reverend Rebecca Baumann of St. Paul's regarding options and needs for the exhibit materials. In closing, we urge all of our Conference churches and organizations that have not recently done so, to conserve, develop, and make known their heritage and history. The Commission is always willing to offer suggestions and guidance with these processes.

David White, Chair

COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE COMPENSATION

MINIMUM SALARY This year, in consideration of both the fiscal reality of the nation and congregations’ ability to pay a living wage, the Commission makes the following recommendation for calendar year 2010: • A nominal increase to a 2010 minimum salary of $35,850 for Full Time Elders and Deacons and $32,270 for Local Pastors.

118 This is a departure from the formula which we have used in the past several years, as we have attempted to first bring and then keep the minimum cash salary to 55% of the average of the top 25 salaries in the Conference. We also take into consideration the Consumer Price Index and prevailing wage contract increases in contemporary society. If we were following this trend for 2010, our proposal would have been conservatively, between a 2.5 and 3% increase or $910 and $1060 for Full Time Elders. We believe that the wage increase we have chosen addresses justice issues for pastors and concurrent fiscal realities of our congregations. THE REST OF THE PACKAGE As we listened to participants from across the denomination in the quadrennial consultation, we realized the Commission had not clearly articulated the denominational standard for pastors’ compensation package, of which minimum salary is only one part. Additionally, in the middle of 2010, churches from Vermont will be joining this Annual Conference. So in an attempt to adjust to this new reality we are recommending minimums for Reimbursable Accounts in 2010 and requiring set minimums in 2011. The recommended minimums for 2010 are at least $2000 for Professional Expenses, Continuing Education, and Local Travel, considered together. The Commission further recommends that pastors be allowed to shift amounts between the Professional Expense and Local Travel accounts depending on the need of the particular location.

The Commission met on five occasions in 2008 in person and by teleconference. The total distribution for the year 2008 is $147,579.Of that amount $19,395 went to Minimum Salary grants, 52,953 to Strategic Grants and $75, 232 to Missional Grants. District # District Name Percentage of distribution 1 Northern Maine 17% 2 Mid Maine 17% 3 New Hampshire 6% 4 Tri-State 21% 5 CT/WMA 9% 6 Central Massachusetts 3% 7 Metro Boston HOPE 8% 8 RISEM 19% TOTAL 100 Pension Payments @16% The new forms introduced in August 2006 have helped the Commission make fairer judgments regarding distribution of grants, by requiring each applicant congregation to submit information in comparable formats. Our aim is to help meet the needs of congregations and concurrently apply church law and policies with justice and equity. We continue to refine and adjust these forms as needed, and can report that using a completely electronic process has saved the Commission over $5,000, which has been put into grant lines. We will not hold a Listening/Workshop session during Annual Conference as this has not proved to be an effective use of our energies. However, we remain available to help train SPRC Committees in the proper construction of Compensation and Benefit packages for pastors. For the first time this year, Commission members have been assigned to care for grants through the life of a grant, so that they will work closely with congregations to correct and refine their submissions, to ensure that distributions are being received and handled in the appropriate ways, monitor and evaluate the progress of grant recipients according to their submitted plans and follow-up with any adjustments that need to be made between application dates. Congregations may direct their questions to any of the following members of the Commission: Chong Wook Choi Warwick, RI 401-467-5422 District 8 Alfred Gibbs Contoocook, NH 603-746-3020 District 3 Cindy Edgerly Rochester, NH 693-332-4496 District 4 Ralph Ellis Holden, MA 508-829-2384 District 6 Laurel Scott Lowell, MA 978-710-4384 District 6

COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN UNITY AND INTERRELIGIOUS CONCERNS

The Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns began the year with visioning and strategic planning. Our goal and vision:

119 • Goal - For the sake of love, we encourage dialogue and promote collaboration to build community with all faiths. • Vision - The renewal of creation through the unity of the human community. The purpose of the General Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns is to “exercise its ecumenical leadership role in seeking to fulfill two major responsibilities in the context of the search for the unity of the human community and the renewal of creation: (1) To advocate and work toward the full reception of the gift of Christian unity in every aspect of the Church’s life and to foster approaches to ministry and mission that more fully reflect the oneness of Christ’s church in the human community…(2) To advocate and work for the establishment and strengthening of relationships with other living faith communities; and to further dialogue with personnel of other faiths, cultures, and ideologies.” Discipline ¶1092. In addition to maintaining connectional relationships with the General Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns, this commission is called to “take initiative in ecumenical and interreligious concerns . . . to stimulate understanding and conversations with all Christian bodies, to encourage continuing dialogue with Jewish and other living-faith communities, and to encourage an openness of mind toward an understanding of other major world religions.” Discipline ¶641. April 2008, the United Methodist Church approved full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). In doing so, the churches also recognize the authenticity of each other's baptism and Eucharist. In New England, dialog and communion with the ELCA have been fostered through the efforts of Bishop Weaver and his staff. Toward the end of encouraging dialogue to build community, the commission studied the Islamic document for peace, A Common Word Between Us, the effort of over 100 Muslim clerics and scholars to identify and declare the common ground between Christianity and Islam. We have also been engaged in actively locating resources to encourage dialogue, particularly at the local church level. Toward the end of promoting collaboration and building community, we are actively participating in and seeking to contribute to interfaith opportunities for dialog (Interfaith groups, Councils of Churches, etc) throughout New England. To further our vision and goals, we are conducting a survey of church participation in Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns during Annual Conference and are planning several trainings and workshops for the 2009-2010 year. This information will be used to gain an understanding of these issues Conference wide and further gather resources Our primary focus in 2009-2010 will be on Islamic-Christian relations, and 2010-2011 on Jewish-Christian relations. Members include Paula Fletcher, Stacy Goforth, John Park, Karen Pehrson, and Leona Peirpoint.

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION (CFA)

This conference year brought with it unexpected challenges for the changing leadership of CFA. We began this quadrennium by welcoming several new members to CFA and electing new officers. We are thankful for those who served in the prior years and miss their experience and expertise, but it wasn’t long before we asked Tom Davidson to serve again, but this time as our Interim Treasurer. During the summer we received word from Rev. Charles Carnahan that as of September 1, 2009 he would be leaving his position as New England Conference Treasurer and Director of Administrative Services to become the Treasurer at the General Board of Discipleship. Rev. Carnahan has provided advice and counsel to the CFA that have resulted in numerous changes, helped bring more stability to our conference finances and provided new savings options to the local churches. We are thankful for his leadership and wish him God’s blessing as he serves in the General Church. And so, the work of CFA began quickly. Tom Davidson, past CFA President and past Treasurer of the former New Hampshire Conference, was asked to oversee the day-to-day operations in the Office of Administrative Services. We are grateful he was able to provide that leadership in this critical time. An interview team was formed including representatives from the Conference Board of Trustees, Conference Personnel Committee, Conference Board of Pensions and CFA. A nationwide search was launched, resumes were reviewed, interviews were held and finally recommendations were made to CFA. They voted to offer the position to William Burnside who began on November 10, 2009. Oversight of the Mission Share Reviews continues to be a responsibility of CFA. While the administration of the application, review of the information/need and dialog with the local church is the responsibility of the District, it is CFA’s task to make final approval. Churches that have been granted relief for 2009 should have been notified through their District and will be reported at the June session. Responsible financial planning continues to challenge CFA as it attempts to balance basic expense support for the mission and ministry of the conference with what is believed to be achievable income from

120 Mission Shares. Significant changes to the apportioned bottom line have taken place in the last several years. It has been the goal of CFA to maintain minimal expense increases until it feels fully confident that consistent income is demonstrated. It is unclear how our rapidly changing economy will affect future mission share income. We do know that Mission Share income for 2008 was 7.23% lower than 2007 and that every district except one contributed to that decrease. Even so the mission and ministry of our conference has continued due in part to the availability of special funds that have been prudently managed over the years. A word of thanks goes to our churches for their commitment to participating in the work of making disciples of Jesus Christ through the transformation of the world. Every dollar that is sent in Mission Shares helps make that mission possible. In the new year ahead we look forward to welcoming our sister churches in Vermont into the New England Conference. The process of getting there has already proved interesting and challenging and will continue to be a major focus of our work in the coming months. We want to thank all those who work in the Office of Administrative Services for their continued fine work, especially during this year’s time of transition.

Barbara Cann and Bruce Young, Co-Presidents

COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES

"With God's grace and guidance, the New England Conference Committee on Native American Ministries (CONAM) will serve as the body that helps guide Native Americans in New England to develop and maintain a relationship with the United Methodist Church." This is our mission statement, adopted April 26, 2008. To that end, our committee is charged with the oversight of monies that come in from our Native American Awareness Sunday offerings, as well as personal outreach into Native communities and United Methodist churches around the New England Conference. Sad to say, our Native American special offering tends to be one of the least supported, and we are working to change that. Presently, we are reaching out to our churches to see that each charge has a designee for Native American ministries, as prescribed in our Discipline. In the past year we have spoken in many churches, and have supported a Native American school in Exeter, RI, a Native American camp at Mechuwana, a Native storyteller, and a ministry in the Bangor, ME., area with off reservation native people. This is with the 50% of the Native Sunday funds that stays with the Annual Conference.

Patricia Parent, Secretary, New England CONAM

COMMITTEE ON RULES

The Conference Rules Committee conducted its business via conference calls and e-mail. We reviewed the recent history of the Rules Committee; devoted some time to sharing and testing our assumptions regarding the scope of the committee’s work; solicited input (observations, concerns, questions, suggestions) from conference leaders. In February we made contact with the Troy Annual Conference in order to have Vermont Churches represented as we continue the work of updating and revising the Conference Rules of Order. While none of the members of the Troy Annual Conference Rules Committee are currently serving in Vermont, we welcomed Julius Archibald from the Troy Annual Conference. Many of the Conference Policies and Procedures are out-of-date and need to be revised or deleted. In the spring of 2009 the Rules Committee will contact chairpersons of each conference committee, agency, or task force to request that their policies and procedures be reviewed and updated. The Conference Rules of Order and Policies and Procedures are posted on the New England Conference website. The Committee will continue to work on changes and revisions of the Conference Rules for presentation to the 2010 Annual Conference. Members of the Conference Rules Committee are: Bill Taylor, Robert Sweet, Betty Sweet, Sue Ellery, Ralph Oduor, Conference Secretary; Jim McPhee, Assistant to the Bishop; Gwen Purushotham, Chair; Julius Archibald, representing the Troy Annual Conference.

Respectfully Submitted, Gwen Purushotham, Chair

CONFERENCE ANTI-RACISM STEERING COMMITTEE

The Conference Anti-Racism Steering Committee was established by action of the Annual Conference in June 2008. We were given an ambitious charge (in three different resolutions) to work in the areas of (a) supporting cross cultural/ cross racial appointments, (b) providing resources for celebrating diversity in our congregations, and (c) initiating a pilot project to resource and support emerging multi-cultural congregations in our conference. We meet regularly and have been very active in working on our first priority above. In this regard, last summer we identified all the new cross cultural/cross racial (CC/CR) appointments and our Committee members personally contacted all the lay leaders, SPR chairs, and pastors in these congregations. In consultation with the district superintendents, we provided two books as resources* for these leaders and their congregations, and have offered ongoing support. We have made a second round of contacts with the leadership in these churches to foster open communication and identify potential areas for special resourcing and support. We presented a workshop at the March 2009 “Living Faith Seeking Justice” Event sponsored by the Conference Committee on Church and Society (in partnership with many others) entitled: Does the election of Barak Obama mean that Race Relations are no longer at issue in this country? In the coming months, we will be (1) re-examining our work with cross racial/cross cultural congregations especially as we anticipate new such appointments in July, and (2) moving into the other areas that were part of our original mandate. The members of our Committee are: Ernest Belisle, Eric Dupee, Maria Coleman, Lisa Fagerstrom, Oscar Harrell, Wendell Luke, Ricka Marsh, Jim McPhee, Jung Sun Oh, Don Rudalevige, Ron Wilson, Vicki Woods. *Lyght, Ernest S. et al, Many Faces One Church, Abingdon, 2006 McSpadden, Lucia Ann, Meeting God at the Boundaries, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, 2006

DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FORMATION

I am continually heartened by the number of individuals and churches being more intentional in nurturing the call to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. This has been evidenced, in part, by the number of churches participating in the Natural Church Development process and the seriousness with which many are engaging in this process. In particular, I’ve had the privilege of working with a number of congregations seeking to strengthen their Passionate Spirituality, Gift-Oriented Ministry, and Holistic Small Groups. I have also been blessed by being able to work with clergy in a variety of settings as they seek to strengthen their own spiritual practices, which are the foundation for effective ministry in the name of Jesus Christ. The work of the Spiritual Formation Initiative in this past year has helped make possible the Bishop’s Day on Passionate Spirituality, the Clergy Spiritual Renewal Retreat, and the Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation (theme: Passionate Spirituality: Global Context, Bold Witness). We gave Tibetan singing bowls as gifts to the Cabinet, the Board of Ordained Ministry, and the Visioning Table to enhance their prayerful practice during their work together. Our “Retreat in a Box” resource is now posted on the conference website and was shared with a national meeting of annual conference camping staff in Portland, OR in December. We continued our tradition of giving each ordinand a “Retreat in a Box” for use in their congregations as well. We plan to offer retreat leader and Companions in Christ trainings in the coming year. Other conference level commitments have also been part of my work for 2007-08. I continue to support the work of Rolling Ridge through supervision of the executive direction and participation on their Board of Directors. It has been exciting to see that ministry continue to strengthen and grow. In addition to the above emphases, I hope to provide more resources to ministries of Christian education in our conference. I will be working in a process with the General Board of Discipleship in the coming year to help with this. In these difficult times in which we live, I believe it is even more important for our churches to communicate Jesus’ message of hope, love and healing than ever before. Attending to our own faith formation grounds us in Christ so that we are equipped to share this message. I’m grateful for the many ways in which I see folks in our conference taking this commitment seriously.

Respectfully submitted, Wanda J. Stahl

DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

In my travels around the Conference this year doing workshops, trainings and visiting local church leaders, it is clear to me that God is moving powerfully in New England! I have seen in our United Methodist churches – small and large, near and far – that there is tremendous life, spirit, and commitment to serving Christ for the transformation of the world. I have seen churches living our vision in their communities; truly being transformed by the Holy Spirit, united in trust, and boldly proclaiming Christ to the world! And yet, admittedly, our Conference and our churches are also experiencing significant challenges to our effectively carrying out our mission and living our vision.

123 So what can communications ministry of the Conference do to help? Our mission – and that of all the Conference staff – is to equip, connect, and support local, regional and global ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve all in his name. Specifically for communications, it can mean: Equipping… > local churches with tools and resources to enhance their communication ministry. > districts, committees and agencies with tools and resources to streamline their communications. Connecting… > local churches with each other and with other conference bodies, to share ideas, resources, and ministries. > visitors and seekers with information and with local churches. Supporting… > churches through leadership training in a wide range communication area. > the efforts of leaders in priority areas (spiritual life, church growth and evangelism, diversity, leadership development, stewardship). Some of the specific ways the Communications Office is implementing these goals is through the work of: > Regular internal news to leadership and clergy - regular electronic newsletters; UMCatalyst, e- Clergy Connection (with tremendous thanks to Joy Mueller who assists with the preparation and distribution of these communications). > Publication of SpiritNET, the Conference newspaper (with heartfelt gratitude to Bert Whittier who handles the layout of each issue) > Regional workshops and seminars on topics such as technology, church web sites, evangelism, outreach and marketing, creativity in worship, and welcoming. > Local church consultations and/or workshops. > Providing materials, information, and trainings on Igniting Ministries resources, > Management of the Conference web site. > Annual Conference media coordination and reporting. Some of the new resources this year will include a redesigned and upgraded web site, along with some new tools for communication and connection; some new changes to SpiritNET newspaper (see www.neumc.org/spiritnet); and also some new Igniting Ministry campaigns and resources, so please visit our web site or contact me to learn more. I do continue to encourage every church to adopt and use “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors” whenever and wherever you can in your local church communications – this message will not change, although our approach and understanding of it are evolving…think of “open” as a verb – what are you doing to “open” hearts, “open” minds, “open” doors in your church and your community? Each year, I close my report with an invitation to contact me with questions, ideas, criticisms, and especially celebrations, and stories, and so I invite you to do so again this year. All of our churches have stories – amazing and compelling stories – of transformation, and I can help these stories to be told on a broader scale. If there is any way I can help with your communications needs, I remain as always ready to serve and support you in your ministry and to help you communicate God’s abundant and transforming love to all.

Alexx Wood

DIRECTOR OF CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Being concerned with the organizational and missional health of all of our congregations throughout New England sometimes causes me to ask odd questions. Most of the time we’re discussing the immediate and urgent topics on our agenda, but recently I’ve stumbled into conversations that keep forcing me to ask this question: Where are we heading? United Methodist churches have been in decline in New England for over a generation. We’ve seen decreases in participation, leadership, resources and, most troubling, in ministry impact on our communities, region and the world. Of course, we’ve seen some wonderful new churches planted and some exceptional churches grow during this time. (Our Natural Church Development process is designed to help all of our churches learn from these healthy exceptions to the rule.) As a whole, however, we’ve been stepping back instead of stepping up. So, where is this all going? I do believe, as Jesus suggests in Matthew 16:3, we can look to the skies and get a pretty good guess at the weather. So here is my understanding of the signs of the times: 1. We will see a profound change to our methods of funding ministry.

124 For years we have relied on the active participants in our congregations to fund our ministries through their charitable contributions. Increasingly, this has led to fewer people giving more per-person with an overall decrease in funds available for ministry. With spiraling costs for health insurance, pensions, building maintenance and staff, many churches have ceased funding local and global missions through their budgets. In the future we will need to look for more church-community partnerships and grants to directly fund local missions. We will need to see our churches develop more and deeper disciples that will tithe sacrificially to God’s work through their church. Evangelism and discipleship will not be seen as ministries to be funded by churches; rather, they will be the way churches raise funds for their services of compassion and justice in the world. 2. We will see fewer clergy employed by only one congregation. Many pastors already serve multiple congregations, work another job for their income, or rely on their savings or spouses for significant financial support. This is a profound change. Accepting this change also allows us to re- launch ourselves into ministry with and among the poor and others who can’t afford the full financial cost of employing a pastor. 3. We will see more churches close. Churches close for a bewildering number of causes and reasons, but most have lost a sense of their spiritual vitality and mission. As we celebrate the past ministries of these churches, our current generation of church leaders has a remarkable responsibility to reinvest the legacy resources of these closing churches into new ministries that reach new people in new ways. 4. We will see increased involvement in missional ministries. Even as we have fewer members in our churches, I believe we will see more people involved in our ministries of service, compassion and justice. Many churches have already seen their constituency roll grow even as their membership and worship attendance have declined. Several of our churches have dozens of members but serve hundreds of people through their feeding programs or recovery groups. Our strongest congregations will become portals through which all kinds of people can make a positive difference in the world. When these churches are seen as relevant again to the real needs in our communities, new people will once again want to get involved. 5. We will see the greatest growth among our new immigrant communities. New England demographics are changing with the arrival of thousands of new immigrants from many new countries and regions. The immigrants are from places where the United Methodist Church is rapidly growing. Much of our future growth will come from ministry with our new New Englanders and their children, especially through new congregations. I’d invite you to consider how your church’s ministry will change as well. You can join the conversation and get involved through the Congregational Development pages and blogs at www.neumc.org or feel free to send me an e-mail at [email protected].

CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

The Conference Congregational Development Committee is the board charged with coordinating and resourcing the development and growth of the congregations of the New England Conference. This is a huge effort involving almost every aspect of our Conference, so the Committee’s work is primarily focused through its sub-committees: • New Church Committee • Local Church Transformation Committee • Urban Ministries Committee • Town & Country Ministries Committee We also collaborate with the District Committees on Congregational Development, District Superintendents, and our related Office of Congregational Development and Parish Consulting Network. A continuing focus of our work is our annual New England School of Congregational Development. In 2008 our theme was WOW: Walk on Water. We gathered in Bloomfield, CT with Safiya Fosua, Paul Nixon, Kwasi Kena, Gwen Purushotham, Cookie Santiago, Doug Ruffle and Kent Millard. In 2009, our school will be held Nov. 5-7 at Grace Chapel in Lexington MA. This year’s theme is ACT 242: Extending the Table, and will feature Bart Campolo, Jim Walker and Safiya Fosua. Kwasi Kena will also return this year to lead our Bible study and reflection times. Information on other plenary presentations, dozens of workshops, and registration options will be available in June. This year we are once again transitioning out two key leaders in our Congregational Development teams. LaTrelle Easterling has served for the past year as chair of the Congregational Development

125 Committee, and stepped down in February. Additionally, Gary Richards resigned from his long-term leadership of the Urban Ministries Committee. Both LaTrelle and Gary are exceptionally gifted leaders whom we will miss, and we pray blessings on their new ministries. We’re also pleased to welcome Evelyn Johnson Moore into a new leadership role in coordinating our Natural Church Development coaching movement.

TOWN & COUNTRY SUB-COMMITEE CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

In 2008 this committee focused on providing an opportunity for several workshops by Julia Kuhn Wallace of the General Board of Discipleship. Workshops were held in Western Massachusetts, New Hampshire as well as Maine. Julia brings her special knowledge of small churches and her enthusiasm for empowering small churches to make a big impact on their communities. While visiting with churches in Aroostook County, Maine, Julia talked with a group of churches who are exploring the development of a cooperative ministry. In Washington County, Julia worshipped in a small membership church on the coast and held an afternoon workshop in another coastal church. Sadly, due to budget issues at the General Board of Discipleship, Julia is no longer a part of that team. Julia has kept in touch with our committee in New England and is available on a contract basis for workshops and ongoing support. Before she left the board, Julia sent sixty copies of her book, “Partnersteps” for our use. Anyone who would like a copy, please contact Pastor Kay Webb, PO Box 43, East Poland, Me. 04230 [email protected] The Town & Country Committee provided scholarships for several churches who attended the New England School of Congregational Development. The committee has an assortment of books for new pastors and small churches that are distributed as needed. The work of this committee continues to be the strengthening of our small membership churches that are a vital part of their community. In many of our rural towns, the United Methodist Church is the only main line denominational presence. We pray that those communities of faith will continue to be a strong witness of God’s presence among us.

Respectfully, Kay Webb, Co-Chair.

URBAN MINISTRY COMMITTEE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

During our The Urban Ministry Committee awarded $70,000 in grants to conference urban and inner- city congregations and organizations. A total of seventeen grant proposals were received totaling $235, 137 in requests. All grant proposals demonstrated a strong commitment to developing congregational and community ministries for the benefit of both urban parishioners and neighbors. A significant number of the grants awarded in September 2008 were to support church-neighborhood youth ministries. The grant review committee was thankful for and impressed by the variety of urban ministries taking place within our conference boundaries. Unfortunately, the fund was limited in ability to fund every request; however the following grants were made: • Bethany First UMC, Roslindale, MA $6,000 • Brockton Church and Community, Central UMC Brockton 8,000 • Calvary UMC, Lewiston, ME 6,000 • Greenwood Mem. UMC Shalom Outreach, Dorchester, MA 5,000 • Joyful Harvest Neighborhood Center, Biddeford, ME 5,000 • Open Table of Christ, Providence, RI 10,000 • Spiral Arts, Portland ME 10,000 • Trinity UMC, Springfield, MA 10,000 • Urban Mission Training Program 10,000 Future inquires regarding the Urban Ministry Committee grant process should be referred to Rev. Curtis Brown, Director of Congregational Development.

In Christian Service, Gary Richards for the Urban Ministry Committee

126 DREW UNIVERSITY THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL

Drew Theological School is in its 142 year of a commitment to an educated clergy. We are grateful that the annual conferences continue to send us men and women for the various programs of the school. We are proud of our United Methodist Scholarship that gives full tuition to a Master of Divinity student who has been a member of a United Methodist church for at least two years, has a 3.5 from their undergraduate program and meets our other requirements. Enrollment: Our 551 students come from over 20 countries and across the United States. They are half men and half women, from 23 to 74 in age and in addition to the 70% who are from Methodist traditions they represent many other denominations. We offer the PhD, D Min, STM, M Div, MTS degrees and ongoing offerings for the larger community. More and more students are coming to Drew in their 20’s with real commitments to justice and vital ministries. Rev. Kevin Miller continues to serve as Director of Admissions and can be reached via email at [email protected]. DREW THEOLOGICAL Online: Visit us at www.Drew.edu. Perspective students can apply for admissions and events planned are advertised. The Theological School newsletter, Theo Spirit is available at http://depts.drew.edu/tsdean/news/ and includes news. We have worship Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:20 a.m. Our worship life is rich under the leadership of Mark Miller and Tanya Bennett and is also open to the wider community. United Methodist Liaison Contact: Rev. Jeff Markay, an elder in the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference, continues to serve as our liaison with the United Methodist Church and its ordination process. He is available to all our United Methodist students from various annual conferences to assist as they work through their relationship with the UMC. [email protected]. Shalom Initiative/Prophetic Leadership: Since January 1, 2008 Drew Theological has been in partnership with the United Methodist initiative called “Communities of Shalom”. Often referred to as “shalom zones”, Communities of Shalom is a grass-roots, faith-based network of shalom sites that engage congregations and communities in working together for community development, peace, and wholeness. Last summer students experienced intensive in context learning at sites across the United States and vital leaders from the religious community spent time with students on campus. This program is funded with a grant from the Jessie DuPont Foundation. We continue to work with religious leadership in and around Newark to work toward lessening gang violence. We have also joined with the religious leadership in Baltimore to creatively address the rising murder rate in that city. Dr. Michael Christensen, who has been Drew’s director of the Doctor of Ministry program, is now serving as the director of this important community based initiative. Clergy Health and Wholeness Center: Associate Dean Virginia Samuel is working on the creation of an initiative to address the crises in the health of our clergy that is now funded by the Arthur Vinning Davis foundation. The Center for Clergy Health and Wholeness responds to the precipitous decline in the overall mental, emotional, and especially physical health of active clergy members over the past 25 years. We are delighted to be working with the United Methodist Board of Pensions and the national task force in addressing these issues. Rev. Samuel is also working with several annual conferences and leadership in boards and agencies to assist in a united effort to promote self care and healthy lifestyles for our clergy leadership.

EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE COMMITTEE During this past year the residence of the Bishop has received a makeover on the first floor! A new oven has been installed in the kitchen. The first floor shines with paint and new drapes. The Bishop’s wife has been a great help in making all these things happen. Our thanks to her for all her work! The porches will receive a new coat of paint very soon. We continue to be sure the house is a home for those in residence. We are planning some work in the home of the Assistant to the Bishop during the coming year.

GLOBAL AIDS COMMITTEE From the 25% of funds donated to the Global AIDS Fund in 2007, the committee granted $1,000 to Afia Center, based at the Mathewson Street UMC, Providence, RI, to be used for Health and Wholeness programs

127 for persons living with HIV and AIDS. The remainder of funds received was remitted to the General Church for Advance #982345. Efforts were made in the fall of 2008 to provide resources to churches for worship services and other events, and to work with churches planning special services on or near World AIDS Day, December 1, 2008. Members of the committee helped with planning and/or participated in AIDS Awareness and World AIDS Days services throughout the conference. In addition, thanks go to Bishop Weaver and Alexx Wood for promoting the Global AIDS fund through the conference Spirit Net and UM Catalyst. Through the end of 2008, about $42,000 has been received toward our goal of $1 per member (about $95,000.) for the 2004-2008 quadrennium. The General Board of Church and Society intends to continue the work of the fund into the future, so New England Annual Conference churches still have the opportunity to raise the additional $53,000 needed to fulfill our commitment.

Respectfully submitted by, NEAC Global AIDS Committee, Co-convener Donna Costa and members: Marion Grant, Leigh Dry and Paul O’Neill.

INSURANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Insurance Committee of the New England Conference Board of Trustees will have met two (2) times since the last annual conference to monitor the Conference Unit Insurance Plan. The committee also communicates on a regular basis via e-mail for votes and other communications that do not require a physical meeting. For the period 8/1/2008- 7/31/2009, Utica Mutual Insurance Company will be our primary insurer, providing coverage for Property, General Liability, Crime, Automobile and Excess/Umbrella Liability as well as our Workers’ Compensation coverage that renewed in January 2009. Fred C. Church Insurance of Lowell, MA continues as the Conference’s broker, providing you service on claims, loss prevention, risk management and general insurance questions. Last year we made a significant change and moved the majority of "coverages" from Acadia to Utica Mutual. This year the New England Conference – and more importantly the individual churches – were rewarded for the move to Utica Mutual as well as a competitive property/casualty market and a very good year from the standpoint of our own claims experience. This year, even with a 3-1/2% inflation adjustment to the building and contents values of every church, Utica Mutual was able to provide a rate decrease that offset the valuation increase and resulted in a slight net premium decrease, compared to a 5.4% and 13% increases that occurred during the past two years. We still continue to have some coverage restrictions for Windstorm and Flood claims on churches located close to the ocean, but these are consistent with what is available in the general marketplace. Now that we have worked with the Utica Mutual Group for a year, we remain very enthusiastic about this new partnership and look forward to a long term relationship with them. Specifically, they have delivered terrific claims service throughout the year, they have visited just about every church and camp in the Conference with helpful but realistic recommendations on safety and loss prevention, they paid a modest dividend to the Conference based on our good claims experience, and they gave us the premium stability at our first renewal which they promised a year ago. As an ongoing process, all outstanding claims are reviewed periodically during the year with Fred C. Church and Utica. Also, we will continue to monitor all outstanding claims prior to August 1, 2007 with Acadia Insurance Company (as of this report we had five (5) outstanding claims). The Insurance Committee continues to monitor local church payments of their insurance billings and challenges every church to make payments on time and in full. The committee thanks all of the churches that paid their premium in full by October 15, 2008 with the 9% discount or enrolled in the Automatic Clearinghouse Account process with a 7% discount through the OAS and Vanco Services, LLC. For the upcoming renewal period, the Insurance Committee with the help of Fred C. Church, our agent, will provide the best coverage and rate possible for the 2009/2010 renewal period. Finally, for more than 13 years, the Conference Unit Insurance Plan has provided economical comprehensive Property, General Liability, Director’s/Officers and Workers Compensation insurance for churches within the New England Conference. During that period, churches of the New England Conference have saved an estimated $15/$16 million in premium costs (compared to individual church purchase of similar coverage) that have been able to be used for direct ministry. The Conference Unit Insurance Plan is an example of our connectional life as a conference and how together, with God’s help, we can do more than we can do separately.

METHODIST CONFERENCE HOME, INC. - Rockland, Maine

2008 was a very positive year for the Methodist Conference Home organization. We experienced a solid turnaround in the finances of our transportation subsidiary, Coastal Trans, which ended the year well in the black. By the end of this year we expect to have erased the losses incurred in 2007. We also had another successful year raising funds in the community for our Meals on Wheels and transportation programs. Methodist Conference Home continues to be a major provider of housing and services to the elderly and people with disabilities in Mid Coast Maine. This year we provided housing for more than 160 individuals at the properties we either own or manage. We served nearly 42,000 meals to elderly shut-ins as well as residents at the Methodist Home and Rankin Center and a group of seniors at our congregate meal site at the John St. United Methodist Church in Camden. We provided other supportive services to approximately 50 individuals in our housing facilities. We provided 3.4 million passenger miles of transportation to 2,793 people. Occupancy at our housing facilities has remained steady. Because of the relative frailty of the residents at the Methodist Home, we have a higher turnover rate than at the other buildings, but we also maintain a waiting list and seem to have no difficulty filling the apartments. In fact we are seeing a higher demand for the housing we offer than we have seen in past years. We continue to offer “Enhanced Services” on the second floor of the Methodist Home, offering a higher level of service than we do through the regular Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP), but our dream of offering Assisted Living Services at the Methodist Home seems farther out of reach than ever. It is unlikely that we will be able to do that in the foreseeable future. Funding and licensing issues pose serious challenges for us. Our service programs will require us to work harder at finding outside support than we have in the past as federal funding for these services has remained relatively static and state funding has been unreliable at best. Our transportation program, Coastal Trans, has seen some dramatic changes this past year. We have been forced to cut back on the services we provide on our fleet because increased costs of providing service in that way. We were able to provide more volunteer service and to subcontract some of the transportation and in the end served more people than the previous year at a lower cost. We are looking at other ways to help people in our service area get access to transportation without trying to provide all of it ourselves. We are also preparing for a new bus service in Brunswick that is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2009. Our Meals on Wheels program receives strong support from the community both in the form of contributions and volunteer time. With that help we are able to serve approximately 100 people a day, 5 days a week, despite woefully inadequate funds from the federal government. As we prepare to celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2009, our Board of Directors is focused not only on the past but also on the future of the organization. We are grateful for all of the support we have received from the New England Conference in the past and look forward to working together to serve God’s children in Mid Coast Maine.

NICARAGUA PLANNING COMMITTEE

NICARAGUA COVENANT VISION STATEMENT: The Covenant between the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church, our Covenant partner La Iglesia de Cristo de Nicaragua, and our mission partners in Nicaragua was formed to accompany one another in solidarity as a response to the unjust and inequitable differences between the North and the South, the rich and the poor. We envision a world where all life is valued equally and the basic rights of human dignity, health and education are available to all. NICARAGUA COVENANT MISSION STATEMENT: In response to the healing ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Nicaragua Planning Committee develops and supports programs that enhance the lives of the poorest of the poor in Nicaragua with dignity, compassion and social justice. Many sister church relationships have developed between the NEUMC and La Iglesia de Cristo churches. Approximately six delegations per year travel to Nicaragua with the purpose of developing and sustaining relationships as well as witnessing our programs in action. Below is an overview of our mission partners and programs. LA IGLESIA DE CRISTO (AICN) Pastor Otoniel Cortez, President • The New England Conference of the UMC and La Iglesia de Cristo de Nicaragua have shared a longstanding Covenant relationship since 1986. • The Nicaragua Covenant supports scholarships for children in six AICN primary schools, all located in poor communities: • Maranatha, Los Flores, Camino a Emaus, El Nazareno, Cincoyo, La Cruz Verde. • Also supported by the Nicaragua Covenant are technical scholarships for ten AICN students. • 75+ Children receive a nutritious meal in the poor barrio of Las Flores. We are working toward initiating two additional lunch-nutrition programs • The Women’s Sewing Program now provides classes for women in three locations: Managua, Nandasmo, and Leon • The Amanecer Mobile Health Clinic (AMHC) provides free medical and dental care as it visits the poorest of the AICN communities each four times per year. EVANGELICAL METHODIST CHURCH (EMC) Pastor Francisco Guzman, President • The Nicaragua Covenant supports three lunch/nutrition programs in the barrios of Carlos Marxx, Esteli, and San Miguel-Estali serving up to 100 children per day in each community. • Our Amanecer Mobile Health Clinic also serves the poorest EMC communities providing much-needed medical and dental care. CROSS INTERNATIONAL, delivering food, shelter and hope to the poorest of the poor. • In partnering with Cross International, the Nicaragua Covenant is initiating a new process for the collection and delivery of material aid to Nicaragua. • Cross International can provide $85 in aid with a donated dollar. We ship all the boxes collected from 2008 Annual Conference. EL PORVENIR (The Future), bringing potable water to rural communities in Nicaragu. • The Nicaragua Covenant established a relationship with El Porvenir in 2008. El Porvenir is dedicated to sustainable development in Nicaragua, and simple potable water projects are their number one priority. • This year, we are planning to build a community well with a washing station and latrines in the barrio of Las Cruzes.

130 • Rope pumps are used for sustainability; the ropes are made in Nicaragua. Wells are dug by hand up to 60 feet deep. Dirt is removed by rope and bucket pulled by cow, donkey, or manpower. • Since the primary condition treated by our AMHC is parasites, there is a great need for clean water in the rural communities. FUNDACION NITCA, a community development project for children and their families. Marcia Gomez, Director Rosa Capella, International Relations • NITCA’s Scholarship Foundation, NITCA for Children, Adolescence, and Youth Workers at Social Risk from their Neighborhood of Laureles Sur, is confined to one of the areas of Managua with the highest rate of poverty and unemployment. • Through this program, the Nicaragua Covenant supports scholarships for 10 technical students as well as one university student from the barrio of Laureles Sur. The Nicaragua Covenant is truly God’s gift, and each partnership is a blessing. We are grateful! Thank you for your faith, generosity, and loving kindness in support of this partnership. We thank God for all of you who give so much through sharing your homes, developing friendships, and praying for the Nicaraguan Covenant.

ORDER OF DEACON 2008

Serving on the Board of Ordained Ministries for 2009-20012 are Cheryln Gates, Barbara Schreier, and Nancy Smith Chair of the Order of Deacon, Cheryln traveled to Norcross, GA to attend “The Gathering of the Chairs of the Orders and the Fellowship of Local Pastors”. This was a unique opportunity to share multiple visions for where God is using the Deacon, with other Deacon leaders from across the country. It was also a valuable time, listening to Elders and Local Pastors as all three groups came together to discuss transformational ministry in the new quadrennial. While there is much work to be done, there surfaced a clear sense of collegiality, passion and support among the Orders and the Fellowship. The Order, including candidates and probationers, along with Diaconal Ministers, focused its November 2008 retreat on criteria used by the Board of Ordained Ministry to assess candidates in effectiveness as transformational leaders. Video presentations by three approved probationers were viewed and evaluated in light of the Board’s criteria. This led to further discussion around best practice in our various settings. We also discussed the Bishop’s appointments of two deacons to serve as part time clergy in Maine congregations. This has been done in other conferences but is a new experience for deacons in our New England Conference. Many more certified candidates are entering into mentoring relationships and the need for deacon mentors has never been greater. In this past year, many of us experienced personal loss, in its many forms. At such times as these, our ordered life together is a blessing. Holy listening, a fellowship of prayer, and mutual accountability to a lifetime of servant leadership remains our greatest challenge and our greatest gift.

Cheryln Gates, Chair

PREACHERS’ AID SOCIETY OF NEW ENGLAND

The work of PAS is centered on the clergy of this conference and their families. While the central focus continues to be on our retirees we are also concerned with our active clergy reaching retirement in good health: spiritually, physically and financially. Our work continued this year under the leadership of our new President, Clint Blood. We are renewed by Clint’s enthusiasm and energy. Our Clergy Family Directors, Lisa Parker and Cathy Anderson continue to make regular visits to our retirees living in the New England area. They were joined in the fall by Rebecca Hewett, formerly the administrator in our Plymouth MA office. She is visiting retirees in the southeast region of our conference. Regions will be shifting a little over the coming year as we prepare for visits to the retired clergy from the former Troy Conference. We look forward to welcoming the Troy retirees to our conference. We initiated two new programs in 2008 for our retirees. Methodent is a program which assists with the high cost of extensive dental work. We have a number of retirees already participating in this much needed program. The second is our Green Loan Program. It is our hope that it will help retirees to increase their homes’ fuel efficiency, decrease their carbon footprint, and work within their limited budgets.

131 Housing is an area of concern for our retired clergy and we are excited to be working with the Deaconess Abundant Life Community to offer units at Wesley Woods in Gilford NH. We have just a couple of units left to be rented. We have also completed all of the preliminary work at Jessie Lee Village in Wells, ME. We look forward to starting construction when the housing economy settles down. Our year included the rhythm of retirees gathering in various parts of the conference for fellowship, coffee, programs, conversation, lunch and even a whale watch (though the whales failed to show). The gatherings included an overnight reunion with our retirees living in Florida. Twelve active clergy are participating in the third Tending the Fire. Centered on Family Systems Theory, but also incorporating small peer groups, creative worship and individual work, we believe Tending the Fire is providing another resource for clergy as they seek to be more effective ministers while living amongst the different systems that come together to form the church. The participants from the first two years of Tending the Fire self organized in 2008, with the help of facilitators from the Consultant Network, to form TTF201: an ongoing program of small peer groups meeting monthly for six to seven months. About 20 persons are participating in these day long meetings. Financial programs have also continued including our Higher Education Loan Program which rewrite low interest loans for seminary debt, the Pre-Retirement Planning Workshop, and a series called Planning for a Lifetime of Ministry which offers financial pointers for clergy at various times throughout their years of ministry as families, needs, and situations change. All of these programs are conducted in partnership with the United Methodist Foundation of New England. We are grateful to a gifted, active Board of Directors that provides support and enthusiasm for the staff and the ministries of PAS. We are an organization that recognizes the extraordinary commitment of volunteers and donors throughout the years. The generosity of these generations before us along with the current generation has made it possible for our ministries to continue and to grow. In addition we have a staff that lives out its own extraordinary commitment as it carries out the ministry of PAS each day. Knowing that 2008 ended with an economic downfall that will affect many, we now turn toward 2009 as we continue to serve those who have faithfully served in the ministry of Jesus Christ.

Grace and peace, Cathy MacGovern, Associate Executive Director

ROLLING RIDGE RETREAT AND CONFERENCE CENTER

Over 200 people journeyed to Rolling Ridge on September 20th to celebrate our 60th year of ministry. Bishop Weaver welcomed the lunch crowd who had enjoyed a morning of remembering, as well as trying yoga, massage, chanting, walking the labyrinth and drumming. Speakers at the luncheon talked about the past and the half million young people who had come to Rolling Ridge and the future hopes of new and renovated facilities and expanded programs. It was a grand day and we praise God for 60 years of ministry. 2008 witnessed a number of highlights besides the 60th Anniversary: • Completed a Feasibility/Planning Study on raising funds for the expansion and renovation as envisioned in the Master Plan • Refinished hardwood floors in 8 rooms and on the grand staircase • Celebrated a 14% increase in revenue and ended the year in the black after the receivables were collected. • Purchased new dining room chairs and new beds • Developed a new website and created new program flyers • Hosted 4700 guests • Entered into conversations with the Town of North Andover on a Conservation Easement and reopening the lower road • Welcomed Rev. Marcelle Dotson, who spent her sabbatical year living at the Ridge, welcoming guests and researching grants. Rolling Ridge offered 30 programs during the year, including the first Bishop’s Day on Passionate Spirituality which was overflowing with people and spirit, and we continued the popular retreat series, “A Day Apart for Busy People", our monthly drumming circle, and our new eight month spiritual formation program called, “Drawing Near to God.” Our room set aside for private "retreatants" has seen increased use by both laity and clergy. Our summer programs for youth- junior and senior high were well attended as was our weekend retreat for older elementary students. The pool and picnic grounds were used by many churches on the weekends (have you booked for 2009?) and daily by 300 children from Lawrence Community Day Care. The Board of Directors continues to take steps toward the master vision as well as support the staff in continued improvements to the facilities and programs.

132 In 2008 we hosted the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Physicians for Human Rights, and many other not- for-profit groups living out the Gospel mandate of compassion and justice. Our ministry of hospitality is vital in these hard times. If you are thinking of a weekend church retreat, please call us soon as weekends fill up almost a year in advance. Thank you for your prayers and donations to Rolling Ridge. As a Conference Advance Special, we welcome your gifts, large or small. We are grateful for the funds which have come through the Together for Tomorrow campaign and have used them to fund the feasibility study, buy new beds, submit plans for the new road and address major facility renovations. Please continue to hold us in your prayers as we develop programs, improve facilities, move into a development program and offer hospitality in Christ’s name. And call us soon to book your personal or church retreat – we have mid-week openings most of the time. Alumni, we love to hear from you.

STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE RESPONSE AND INTERVENTION TEAM

The Steering Committee for the Response and Intervention Team of the New England Conference was established in 2003 “to coordinate, implement and oversee the work of the Response and Intervention Team and to implement strategies and guidelines in the area of prevention and education.” A significant role in this work continues to be the confidential and collaborative efforts that bring together representatives of the Board of Ordained Ministry, Cabinet, Board of Laity, Parish Consultants, the Conference Chancellor, and others. In 2003 the Annual Conference asked for the creation of a policy concerning lay sexual misconduct in our churches. This year the Steering Committee has been working on such a policy concerning sexual misconduct by laypersons. (We have had a clergy sexual misconduct policy in our conference since 1997, and clergy and lay criminal background check policies since 2003). The New England Conference continues to be committed to maintaining our churches as safe places for all. In the coming year, the Steering Committee is committed to (1) reviewing and updating the clergy sexual misconduct policy, and (2) planning the next round of prevention education training for clergy and laity in this quadrennium. We are grateful for the continuing work of The Rev. Marilyn Robb, who is the team leader and coordinator for the Response and Intervention Team. All the members of this Team volunteer considerable gifts and time to this necessary but unheralded (and mostly confidential) work in our midst.

Evelyn Johnson-Moore and James McPhee, Co-Conveners

TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW

By the time this report is published and read, we will have entered into the final two years of the Together for Tomorrow Capital Campaign based on the targeted end date of May 2011. I had anticipated that pledge payments would decrease as the ongoing economic crisis affected more and more banks, businesses and individuals. However, at least as of the end of January 2009, pledge payments continue to come in, with December and January receipts being especially strong. This fact gives testimony to those who have continued to make their payments in the face of severe economic worries, for many have included notes with their payments over the last several months saying that they want to either get ahead or pay up their pledge while they still can, counting their pledge as more important than their concerns, and giving God the glory. However, there have been those who, due to the economy woes, have felt the need to either reduce or cancel their pledge, and we need to honor their very real concern for being able to make ends meet. I pray that the combined bank bailout and economic stimulus bills that were just enacted (in early February) will do what is hoped and generate much needed jobs and restore confidence in the economy at all levels so that those who have been most hurt by the recession can find relief. The winter issue of the Together for Tomorrow newsletter has just been mailed to all participants in the campaign, containing three more wonderful stories from local churches on how the campaign has helped/affected their congregations. This, I believe, is the most important result of this campaign – that it has shown so many that giving to the work of God’s church both locally and throughout the world can be such a joy. The newsletter also contains testimony from the Rolling Ridge Conference and Retreat Center and from the West Angola Covenant sharing how they have been helped through funds received from this campaign, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Campaign results as of January 31, 2009:

133 Net pledges - $15,234,925 Pledge payments received - $7,794,951 Local Church Shares paid - $2,563,713 We are grateful to everyone who has participated in this campaign, and pray that you will continue to be blessed by the joy of giving.

TREASURER

Just a few short months ago, I was blessed by the opportunity to join the New England Conference as treasurer. In the midst of upheaval in world financial markets and resulting pressures at the local church and conference levels, I feel the Spirit has led me here for one of the most important missions of my career. I thank the members of the Council on Finance and Administration and Bishop Weaver for the privilege of serving with them to build God’s kingdom through the United Methodist Church, which has enriched my life in so many ways. Financially, receipts from Mission Shares were down 7.2% (almost $400,000) from 2007 levels as many churches struggled with the cost of a harsh winter and the economic downturn. The Conference kept expenses below budget by carefully monitoring costs and was able to come close to the actual receipts. As a conference we were only able to pay 75% of our World Mission obligations, far less than most of our fellow Jurisdictional Conferences. In 2009, with the blessing of the Council on Finance and Administration, we will need to maintain tight monitoring of our expenses and keep them well below our budgeted levels. However, we must not lose sight of the connectional aspect of our ministry and strive to fully fund our World Missions. By the end of 2008, the Together for Tomorrow Campaign received over $15 million in pledges and more than $7.6 million in pledge payments. As of this report, more than $2.5 million had been distributed back to local churches to support local church ministries and more than $2.4 million had been disbursed to the five Conference ministry initiatives. Health Insurance and Pension Costs continue to claim a disproportionate share of conference and local church resources, both financial and human resources. These costs are higher than the Conference’s operating expenses, as more than $8.5 million was paid to the General Board Of Pensions and Health Benefits for both retired clergy’s health insurance and active clergy’s health and pension. The Conference has been in an enviable position, in that the Pre-82 Pension plan has been significantly over funded based on actuarial estimates. In 2008 and previous years, the funds built up in the Pre-82 plan have allowed the Conference to partially fund retired clergy health costs. However, the economic downturn has affected these assets, and while we are still over-funded (there are currently only 20 out of 63 conferences that can say this), our position has decreased drastically. As a result, we probably will not be able to use these funds for retiree health care costs in the foreseeable future, requiring another source of funding to compensate. One of my first priorities in the Office of Administrative Ministries for late 2008 and early 2009 has been to review and ensure that the conference’s liquid assets were invested in the safest vehicles for current financial conditions, and I am happy to report that they are. At the same time, we were able to improve our returns from 0.40% to about 2.50% without increasing our risk. It is my pleasure, in my first report to you, to acknowledge the considerable contribution, dedication and Christian principles reflected everyday in our conference staff – Spirit-filled men and women who are Christ’s hands and hearts at the New England Conference office, choosing service over self-interest. I very much appreciate the ministry and witness of: Deborah Cannella, Administrative Assistant Marion Grant, Administrative Financial Assistant, Capital Campaign Steve Hart, Financial Services Manager Merry Hoyt, Remittance Specialist Thelma Phelan, Benefits Assistant Janis Salesi, Conference Benefits Coordinator Daniel Sierra, Accounts Payable/Payroll Finally, I am humbled by the service I witness in our clergy, the members of our local churches, our treasurers and finance chairs, the Council on Finance and Administration, the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, the Equitable Compensation Committee, our Conference Trustees and my colleagues in ministry all over the conference who inspire me by their example and encourage and support me with their prayers.

UNITED METHODIST ECONOMIC MINISTRY Salem and Solon, Maine

2009 marks the 40th anniversary of this mission in Western Maine. UMEM celebrates those early visionaries who dreamed of a better life for the local people. In all this time, United Methodists have been faithful to the mission with their prayers, donations and support. While other denominations have withdrawn from the area, UMEM has stood the test of time and continues to model God’s love for the poor and disadvantaged. Each year the region’s needs grow as factories close and jobs with a living wage become harder to find. Our programs over the years have grown to not only meet the material needs of the region, but to make known God’s presence in the daily life of those who live and work here. The Thrift Shops continue to provide good, gently used items at reasonable prices. We thank those churches, organizations and individuals who support this program with their donations and volunteer time. Food Cupboard usage increases each year as more families are challenged to meet their basic nutrition needs. With a combination of local food drives, FEMA funding, town support and generous donations of food and funds, UMEM is able to provide meals for those who otherwise might go hungry. As a part of this program UMEM also provides school snacks for five elementary schools. Housing repair continues to be an outreach to homeowners who are unable to afford repairs to their homes. Mission teams come from far and near to spend a week working with staff to repair roofs, replace floors, windows, paint, build steps and handicap ramps. Probably the most important part of this program is the building of relationships between the mission teams and the local people. The weekly pot luck dinner is always the high point of the week for all. The Outreach Program functions as a clearinghouse for all types of emergencies. This winter UMEM has participated with area churches and groups to provide emergency fuel so that no one went without heat. Fire victims were assisted with the replacement of items lost: clothing, household items, medicines, eyeglasses and furniture. This was possible due to the generous donations from those who support this ministry. Our Back To School program provides more than 100 children with new sneakers, backpacks, socks and underwear as well as school supplies. Each summer our mission teams assist with this program by providing funds, doing the shopping and packing the items for distribution. For the past two years, UMEM has been able to offer a free, two-day dental clinic thanks to the generosity of Dr. Frank Shin and the North Boston Korean United Methodist Church. Also, this church has joined others who have pledged a monthly amount to support UMEM on a year-round basis. We would like to thank all those who participated in our Christmas Wreath program which provides income for local people who make the wreaths. A new opportunity for crafters was developed by Rev. John Blackadar who marketed hand knitted hats at the New Hampshire Charge Conferences. The income came at a time when crafters were looking for extra income to heat their homes. Our thanks to John for his salesmanship! In 2009 UMEM is working with the UM Foundation to develop an endowment fund for the future support of this ministry in Western Maine. More information will be coming as the work is completed.

UNITED METHODIST ELDER CARE

Our mission at United Methodist Elder Care remains, as it was when the facility opened in the 1970’s - to “provide a community where older persons can live in comfort, with dignity and a sense of purpose.” We strive to maintain this ideal in an environment of ever changing needs, opportunities, obstacles, and challenges. Today however, although our mission remains the same, the climate in which we operate has changed dramatically. Federal and State governmental funding, namely Medicaid, is rapidly diminishing. The majority of Linn Health Care Center’s revenues are generated through government funding. The government officials in the State of Rhode Island talk about “rebalancing” the long term-care system, in part, to control Medicaid costs. State officials say the State’s Medicaid program is unsustainable especially given the current budget crisis. Medicaid expenditures exceeded 26% of the State’s budget. Drastic cuts to the Medicaid program are inevitable. The State needs to balance its budget. In July of 2008, the State of Rhode Island cut reimbursement to nursing facilities, Linn Health Care Center included, by delaying a 3.4% cost of living adjustment for six months, as well as cutting the facilities’ reimbursement for labor cost from 125% of the median to 112% of the median. In December of 2008, the officials spoke of further cuts to take effect in 2009. Such cuts would eliminate the cost of living adjustment entirely for the FY 2009 which began in July of

135 2008, further reduce the labor cost reimbursement from 112% to 110% of the median, and to reduce the Medicaid daily rate to facilities by 5%. That 5% daily rate cut alone for Linn Health Care Center equates to an approximate $76,000 loss in revenue over a five-month period based on estimated number of Medicaid bed days. Continual decrease in revenue, as a result of cuts to government funding, will alter the manner in which long-term care providers, such as United Methodist Elder Care, will accomplish their mission of providing quality services to a frail population. Supplemental funding is critical to continue the mission and ministry of this organization. We ask that the Conference enhance the strength of its commitment and dedication to our mission and ministry by encouraging individual Conference churches and church members to help us weather this Medicaid storm, through financial support. Trustees attended United Methodist Elder Care’s Strategic Planning Retreat in February 2008. The objectives of the retreat were to: 1) complete an environmental scan to identify the barriers, issues, and opportunities in our environment that affect our mission; 2) discuss trends in the industry and in health care in general to broaden Trustee knowledge; and 3) confirm the organization’s direction and plans for action. Focus areas identified for Steering and Planning were growth and expansion opportunities, such as Case Management/and Home and Community Based Service Model, and transportation service to the Elder Care community. We appreciate the level of support of our mission from the local churches. Your support, through prayers and gifts, affords us the opportunity to provide meaningful programs and assistance to those most in need. On behalf of the Trustees and residents of United Methodist Elder Care, thank you to all who express their support of the Centers through Golden Cross and other donations. Your $5,531.09 in Golden Cross dollars during 2008 funded bed reserves for hospitalized residents of Linn Health Care Center and provided subsidies for personal care, housekeeping, and meal services for Retirement and Assisted Living residents. It has proven to be a valuable and essential service, one that is not often provided by our counterparts in the nursing home industry. We request that the Conference declare the first Sunday in May of 2010 as Golden Cross Sunday with offerings received to be used to assist residents of the three retirement/health care agencies within this Conference.

UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION OF NEW ENGLAND

During 2008 has been a year of highs and lows – it was a year of strong growth and consolidation for the Foundation as its different ministries and services continued to underscore its role as a “leading financial and educational stewardship resource center”. The Foundation’s commitment to “promote faithful stewardship” has borne much fruit in many local churches of the New England Conference. However, 2008 was also a catastrophic year for the financial markets as equity markets in the U.S. and around the world suffered their largest losses since the 1930s. The sub-prime mortgage crisis paralyzed credit markets and impacted the economy in many ways including high unemployment. This economic slowdown continues to negatively affect investment returns for individuals and institutions, including the returns from the Foundation’s broadly diversified portfolio in which our U.M. churches are invested. Reflecting the general economic malaise, the Foundation’s stock portfolio in 2008 did not deliver in absolute terms, but it did perform well relative to its composite benchmark, outperforming it by almost 100 basis points. We continue to be hopeful that the U.S. government’s fiscal and monetary stimuli will help the economy recover, and believe that the Foundation’s broadly diversified, long-term investment strategy will serve our churches well; these trying financial times will pass, and financial markets will rebound. The Foundation’s stewardship education/training efforts through its “Faith and Money” ministry have continued to help strengthen personal and congregational stewardship in our local churches. Phase II of “Faith & Money” is now underway with 3-5 local churches serving as learning labs/pilot projects where stewardship coaches and mentors guide the churches in developing their stewardship ministries. Stewardship resources and aids are available to individuals and churches on the Foundation’s web site and through its weekly/monthly e-communication efforts such as “Gift Legacy” and “Faith & Money Updates”. The newly designed Planned Giving section of our web site provides educational videos, donor stories, online calculators, and other helpful articles and tips on personal finances and planned giving opportunities. In addition to the “Good $ense” personal finances resource that has been offered by the Foundation, a new offering called “Financial Freedom” is now available; this resource is suited for small groups and comes with an instructional DVD with video clips, discussion questions and a workbook. The Foundation has also developed a “Donor Designated Fund” vehicle

136 that individuals and families can use to benefit a mission or ministry project; the “Ives Family Fund” that was set up to benefit the camping ministry at Mechuwana is one such example. In our continued efforts to improve the delivery of services and timely reporting, the Foundation made various changes in its investment operations in 2008 including new custody and client services, and a new proxy voting service. Foundation staff is working on other improvements that will facilitate administrative and reporting functions and offer new options to our investing churches. A redefined Grants and Financial Assistance Ministry of the Foundation was adopted by its Board in 2008; this new multi-faceted approach with its emphasis on enabling systemic change and strategic investment of resources to promote the growth of ministry and service will be implemented in the coming year. We express our appreciation and thanks to both our hard-working staff and a gifted Board of Directors. Members of the 2008 Board of Directors are: Officers/Committee Chairpersons David Fitts, Board Chair John Regier, Board Vice-Chair James Stephen, Secretary Wesley Blair III, Treasurer and Chair of Budget/Audit Committee Edward Abrahams III, Chair of Grants/Financial Assistance Committee Joan Humphrey, Chair of Personnel/Nominating Committee Patricia Deyton, Chair of Development/Marketing Committee Robert Needham, Chair of Investment Committee Board Members Thomas Baziak Ying Chen Rev.

UNITED METHODIST MEN

2008 has been and 2009 will be a “rebuilding” year for New England Conference United Methodist Men (NEUMM) More than likely you have noticed that over the past few years there has been an absence of activity linked with United Methodist Men at the Conference level. While there are root causes that can be identified to some of these organizational struggles, there is no single explanation. Despite little organization, Men’s ministries actually are abundant throughout the conference. There are Charters scattered about and unchartered Men’s Ministries working well and doing their best to serve our mission and purpose. Some men organized an assembly which was held in June attempting to rebuild the Conference United Methodist Men. While the turnout was not as large as we had hoped, the enthusiasm of the men who attended encouraged us to continue. The General Commission of United Methodist Men provided copious amount of literature which was distributed to attendees. The event established a need for further action, therefore, during the business session we created the Steering and Nominations committee. In August there was a second meeting of the newly appointed Steering and Nominations Committee, which nominated interim officers to be voted upon at a later date. Some are current clergy and lay leaders with many years of service to this denomination and their respective congregations. The interim President was charged with executing the plan titled the “Visibility Project”, which he presented. This is a two-year project to collect names of Men’s Ministry Leaders from each local Church who would become Ambassadors and serve as part of the new “Committee as a whole”. It was agreed that attendees would return to their home district and promote the mission statement and purpose of UMMen and contribute to raising the visibility of this organization.

137 Given the geographic size of the New England Conference there must be a change in structure that will produce and stimulate growth to Men’s Ministry. NEUMM recommends that the following plan be presented to District Superintendents who will be asked to refer this action plan to their Pastors and Lay Leadership. Further, our new leadership should be available to be called upon to describe and advertise this effort. We also ask District Superintendents to appoint representatives from their District to represent them on the Steering and Nominations Committee. We suggest the creation of regional “clusters” or “cooperatives” of United Methodist Churches and their Men; the Conference UMMen will offer resources to build these cooperatives. We ask the new leadership to form respective cooperatives in their communities; we will assist in recruiting, training Men’s Ministry Specialists, mentors and Lay Men. Local charters would ultimately grow into District organizations. Educate Men of the benefits of chartering and becoming EMS Members and Legacy Building. Unite men in faith and fellowship with outreach toward the future. Pool resources to maximize benefit to local communities. We have asked the Board of Laity for funding ($1,500) to enable your new leadership to send Gentlemen to the field and conduct these operations. As of this writing, the Board of Laity has not acted upon the request. Our Conference Convention of United Methodist Men will be held May 16, 2009 at Asbury UMC. The General Secretary of GCUMM, Rev. David Adams will be our honored guest at which NEUMM will reconstitute and revitalize NEUMM. We have established an “interactive website” and an independent database to manage membership and leadership records. We are excited about the challenges that lie ahead and look forward to a productive, inclusive, positive and beneficial effort for the New England Conference. For all Christian Men who care and are concerned we want to hear your voice and give you an avenue to be heard building together with our shared values and be your partner in growing Christian Men’s Ministry throughout our conference.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

Change… We have heard a lot in the media about change this past year. United Methodist Women in New England have been about positive change for over 138 years. In 1869 a handful of women in Boston gathered to talk about change – girls in India were not being educated. Then they did something about it. They sent Miss Isabella Thoburn to India to start a school to educate girls. At that time only married women accompanied by their husbands could be sent to the mission field. And that was only the beginning. Change has been happening in the lives of children and families for over 90 years at Cooper Community Center. New England women knew the children of Roxbury, MA needed a safe, nurturing environment and they provided it. This year Bishop Weaver supported United Methodist Women’s declaration of April as “Cooper Month” – a time to celebrate and support Cooper’s continuing ministry to children. One cannot read Enrique’s Journey, a United Methodist Women’s Reading Program book about the struggles and perils of children from Central America (who ride the tops of freight trains to find their mothers who came to the US to make enough money to support their families), without the deep feeling that change is needed today for those children. The women of New England welcomed the United Methodist Women of the Northeastern Jurisdiction to Springfield, MA in April for the Quadrennial meeting, “Called By Name”. Harriet B. Olson, Deputy General Secretary of Women’s Division was the guest speaker. Lisa Swett of Bangor, ME was honored as outgoing NEJ President. Yuland Daley and Lisa Swett were elected to the Board of Directors of Women’s Division. Linda Reiber was elected Treasurer of the NEJ Planning Team. Those gathered were reminded that we all belong to God. God knows our name, calls us by name and promises to be with us. (Isaiah 43:1-5) God’s call often brings change. One of the studies at School of Christian Mission events this year was Giving Our Hearts Away: Native American Survival. Change came to Native American lives as they were driven from their land, their children taken away, their language forbidden. Today, change is helping to restore their heritage, dignity, safety and hope. Change is happening as the women of New England welcome the women from Vermont and plan for them to join New England Conference. Change is happening as the women communicate by e-mail, chat on- line with women across the country, consult the Women’s Division and New England UMW web pages, make decisions and plan by conference calls. As the media pours into their lives, the women in New England see the overwhelming necessity for change in today’s world. They have continued to gather. They have continued to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. They have gathered for prayer, study, supportive fellowship, celebrations and action. They have

138 studied the Charter for Racial Justice. They have continued to support ministries that improve the women, children and youth around the world. In gratitude for the faithfulness and dedication of the women,

VISIONING TABLE

Purpose: The purpose of the Conference Visioning Table is to: ™ Support the local church through the sharing of resources, leadership and gifts around a commo aligned to our vision, mission, and critical issues. The Visioning Table is directly accountable to the Annual Conference, and serves as the connecting point of voluntary collaboration for vision, mission and ministry in the conference. The Visioning Table may make proposals to the Annual Conference and its and agencies. Guiding Principles: ™ Recognize the value of bringing together the various ministries of Mission, Administration and Leadership in the Conference and the ministries in the Districts to resource the ministry of the local church which is the central place of ministry. ™ Be dynamic, adaptable, and fluid allowing for structure to follow function as ministry evolves to meet the current needs of the local church as heard at the Visioning Table. ™ Provide support for the local church by connecting resources among the Districts and acr connection. ™ Explore and encourage innovative, open, and diverse communication methods at all levels church.

139 The Conference Visioning Table is in its second year of operation as the membership continues to build a spiritual relationship as the foundation of our work. Still after two years of existence the team is still trying to articulate and understand our purpose in the midst our mindset. The team meets three times per year. As a team we have developed five strands which anchor our focus. These strands are as follows: 9 Making Disciples 9 Passionate Spirituality 9 Community/Mission/Evangelism 9 De-emphasize structure 9 Liberation from buildings Following Jesus’ command is not easy, but as a Visioning Table we have focused our attention on Making Disciples which can be the means of supporting, increased and sustained mission and ministry efforts in all our churches across the conference. As we reflect on our interconnectedness around Making Disciples we still have the following unanswered questions: 9 What does it mean to make disciples? 9 Do we have the structure in place to produce disciples to improve/support church membership? 9 Do we have the capacity to stimulate and sustain the process of making disciples? As a visioning table we believe that through our collaboration, brainstorming and God’s transforming love we will have answers to our questions. Conclusion: The Conference Visioning Table believes that God’s Grace is sufficient for each of us and through Him all things are possible. We are committed to allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us in discerning God’s will as we collaborate and develop a variety of innovative strategies to support and strengthen the local churches, district and conference. This focus will enable us the opportunity to incorporate 21st century mission, ministry and the way we conduct business in our churches.

COMMISSION on the STATUS & ROLE of WOMEN

With several new people, the New England Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women met at the York/Ogunquit UMC on Saturday October 18, 2008. We adopted a three-prong focus for our work: educate, advocate and celebrate. We have been trying to function via the Internet the rest of the year in order to keep expenses at a minimum. We are working with Alexx Wood to develop web pages on the Conference Web site that will contain the types of information that once were distributed to congregations and clergy in paper form. We have identi- fied some key issues that we need to explore further and we are gearing up to do the work of monitoring Annual Conference again. We are still being developing plans for celebration In March of 2009 the Rev. Alan Cogswell traveled as our representative to the training for Annual Conference leaders held by the General Commission.

141 2009 DISTRICT REPORTS

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS DISTRICT

A good deal of the work and responsibility of a district superintendent does not change much from year to year. One-on-One meetings with pastors and church conferences consume most of my time in the summer, fall and early winter and the appointment process is my focus during the late winter and spring. Annual church conferences provide me with the opportunity to become acquainted with congregations in the District. The “business” of the church conference – setting and reviewing goals, evaluating the mission and ministry of the local congregation, receiving reports, electing officers, setting pastoral compensation, etc – the “business” of the church conference, while important, is really just a vehicle for me to develop relationships with congregations in order that I may more adequately support, equip, connect and encourage congregations as they make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.. It is a blessing for me to share the joys and concerns of congregations, to observe growth in ministry and mission, to share in worship and to lead worship from time to time. During the past year, the District has hosted vital and varied training events and workshops for clergy and laity. We have trained lay speakers, encouraged and celebrated laity in mission and nurtured those on the path to licensed and ordained ministry. I have been working on the connection between pastoral leadership and the local church. I have supported and encouraged healthy church pastor-relationships and strategic appointments, through learning opportunities and the use of our conference Consultants. This past year we used Conference resources to respond to critical situations in some local churches and to support needed but otherwise unaffordable pastoral leadership. Strategic grants and equitable compensation were offered to support clergy salaries and programs in a few local churches. We celebrate the growth and vitality of congregations in Acton, Natick, Needham Sudbury, Westborough, Westford and Wilmington and continue to be encouraged by the multi-cultural ministries at the Wesley and Aldersgate Churches in Worcester. We give thanks to God two new faith communities in Worcester; the Zimbabwean Fellowship and Faith Church, a new Vietnamese congregation. Several congregations have sponsored mission trips to the gulf coast, South Carolina, Maine and Nicaragua, and many others are involved in outreach among the poor in their own communities. We celebrate these efforts all of which remind us our relationship to Christ and each other. While we are excited about these new developments, we recognize that more than half of the sixty six churches in the District are fragile: worship attendance in many of them is stagnant or in decline, stewardship of time and financial resources are a huge and constant issue, members are fearful, defensive and fragmenting, and ministry is understood as getting people ‘in the door’, not as reaching out to offer hope and invitation in the name of Christ. Our communities desperately need a word of grace and hope. We need to embrace the idea that we must become a “missionary church in our own setting if we are to survive. But as Christ’s Church, we must not yearn merely to survive, since none of us came to faith in Christ Jesus, because we were excited about institutional maintenance; we must rather yearn for our work to have lasting meaning, not just for ourselves, but for the blessing of all. To God be glory, honor and praise.

Ron Wilson, Superintendent.

CONNECTICUT/WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS 2009

I continue to celebrate and give God all the glory for the many ways I see the Holy Spirit at work throughout this district. I am thankful for the dedicated leadership of our Lay Leaders, David Dunham and David Bolster; for George Button’s leadership of our District Ministry Team; and the many laity and clergy serving on our district committees. Together we are a team! I believe this “spirit-led team concept” is the building block for future growth in our local churches, clusters/regional ministries and our district. We have some amazing testimonies on this district as to the power of reaching beyond ourselves to strengthen and transform our witness for Christ. A few examples come to mind. First UMC in Greenfield has transformed from a church with serious financial struggles to a church that has doubled its attendance and paid off all debt with the work of a “mutual ministry team” under the leadership of the Rev. Bruce Arbour as their pastor of record. Hope UMC in Belchertown, where Bruce serves full-time, has also been empowered by this experience in helping a sister church in need. They have faithfully supported Greenfield through prayer, and hands-on help when needed. First UMC in North Adams is another faith story of “transformed by the Holy Spirit!” They had some tough

142 decisions to make – a small congregation in a very large stone building (sanctuary seats 1000) that needed extensive repairs. Through a “viability/possibility study” a shared team ministry between First UMC in Williamstown and First UMC in North Adams was developed…and a wonderful relationship began. Thanksgiving Sunday 2008, was the last Sunday First UMC in North Adams worshipped in their building. They made the prayerful decision to leave the building, put the building up for sale and live the words “the church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is a people.” Today, they too have doubled in worship attendance, are active in hands-on ministry in their community and are exploring with First UMC in Williamstown the possibilities of a shared ministry. A mutual ministry team is also at work in Baltic, CT with Lee Memorial UMC in Norwich under the leadership of the Rev. Ho-Soon Han. Many fruits are also being experienced out of this new evolving relationship. Four churches in southeastern CT are also currently exploring cooperative ministry. In the Springfield area, New Hope United Methodist Regional Ministry – a new regional urban ministry is set to begin July 1, 2009 under the direction of the Rev. Louise Dumas. I was blessed to walk with the New Hope UMC (formally Chicopee Falls UMC and Liberty Street UMC) as they discerned how best to honor the Lord and their passion for mission and ministry in their vote to disband as a local church, and turn the assets over to provide the funding for a new regional ministry. It was a holy and sacred journey to witness their wrestling and faith in making this decision. One highlight of the year on this district for many was our first “Alleluia Sunday” – a district rally held on World Communion Sunday in 2008. Over 200 came; we celebrated our diversity on this district through music as we recognized district leadership and welcomed new pastors. The District Ministry team coordinated two Lay Leadership Academies this past year, and once again made the commitment to travel with me to every charge conference. Many churches are participating in NCD, and seeking ways to experience/live out “passionate spirituality.” The economic struggle we find ourselves in as a country, seems to have empowered some churches to go back to their spiritual roots – deep prayer, seeking to be more intentional in mission in the community, reaching out to help those in need nationally and globally as well through mission trips and special sacrificial offerings. Once again I traveled throughout the district offering a healing service each Sunday night during Lent which was well received. Our theme this year was “From Anguish to Alleluia.” We are in the process of forming a district healing team, and will continue to listen for ways this ministry will help congregations move forward on their journey as the Body of Christ. I look forward to seeing what “the new thing” the Lord might have waiting for all of us as we journey together, seeking to listen for ways our collective gifts and graces can be multiplied in service to our Lord in the coming year.

METRO BOSTON HOPE OVERVIEW

It is with pleasure that I write my first Metro Boston Hope District Overview. I first want to publicly thank my predecessor Aida Fernandez for passing on a house that was in order. Because of Aida’s consistent efforts, my task was made easier. Gracias mi amiga! During this initial year, God has “showed out”, specifically, God has showered the District with blessings! Several of the District churches have envisioned new approaches to making disciples for Jesus Christ. This has been accomplished through; programmatic changes, revitalizing worship, and extending radical welcome to potential disciples. Moreover, several churches have increased their support of and outreach to their local church communities. A sample of outreach initiatives include; a community lobster dinner, a music and poetry centered “coffee house” and a “jazz in the church” series of concerts. The Metro Boston Hope District has experienced great growth in the number of young clergy who now serve our churches. Currently, there are five pastors under the age of 30 serving in visionary leadership in the District. Also, our laity continues to serve in amazing capacities. This year, our District Lay Academy conducted Spanish language training for the Basic Lay Speakers course. Additionally, the Lay Leadership team has welcomed new visionary team members who have committed to using their God given gifts to serve the District and beyond. On a personal note, I have experienced great support and nurturing from the District Committee on the Superintendency. Their witness and caring nature has fueled my commitment to provide excellent leadership. I have also been tremendously blessed by the exceptional support of Co-District Lay Leaders Wendy Millar- Page and Ruby Blake. They understand sacrifice, service and spirited leadership. The District Covenant

143 Leaders have been an amazing blessing in the ministry of leadership and collegiality as the year unfolded. The District Committees have been a rich source of energy and vitality led by faithful and spirit filled leaders; Rick McKinley, Sam Johnson, Ruth Oduor, Glen Mortimer, Larry Wimmer, Maria Coleman, and Donna Costa. District Administrative Assistant Josephine Sierra has rounded out the team with faithful, cheerful and God directed support in this inaugural year of my superintendency. Lastly, I remain thankful for the amazing diversity embodied in the Metro Boston Hope District. We are theologically, ethnically, and racially diverse. However, we remain connected at the level ground found at the “foot of the cross.” I look forward to the transformational work that God will accomplish in this new conference year as we seek to make disciples for Jesus Christ.

All my prayers, Martin McLee, District Superintendent

MID-MAINE 2009

The Mid Maine District experienced many changes during this year. Not only were there 19 Charges or 21 local churches receiving new pastors in July 2008, but the district said good-bye to David Svenson after eight years as District Superintendent and to Elizabeth Bailey Mitchell after many years as the Administrative Assistant. Lori Umberhind is the new and very capable voice at the other end of the telephone and the amazing presence in the District Office as the new Administrative Assistant. Together she and I have been finding our way into the complicated territory of the District Superintendency in Mid Maine. Lest we should get settled in too quickly, in February of this year the District Office moved from the Parsonage to the Mission Building at Camp Mechuwana. As noted in David’s report from last year, this was in some sense a coming home as the Maine Conference Office was located here in the past. Our monthly District Ministry Days continue to provide a great way for pastors to connect on a regular basis, engage in continuing education and sharing with each other and share a time of worship together. This helps to affirm our connectional ministry and sense of collegiality. The difficult economic conditions are a challenge to all the churches and to our communities and churches are trying to make faith-filled responses to the many concerns that are arising locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Many of our churches have continued to struggle with diminished attendance and declining finances and during this appointment year several churches made the difficult decision to move from full time to half time pastoral leadership. This year, the painful decision was made for the Phillips Shared Ministry to leave behind the Methodist Church building and continue their ministry in the other church building owned by them. At the same time, there are exciting things happening in many of our churches regardless of their size. Lives are being transformed and churches are reaching out to the community and the wider area not only to meet the needs around them, but especially to find ways to share the love of Christ. The Holy Spirit is alive and moving in Mid Maine and congregations and pastors are responding to the promptings and leadings of God. It has been a year of excitement, of challenge, of building and strengthening relationships and of much learning. I want to extend my personal thanks to the pastors and members of congregations who have helped to make this first year together a good one. I look forward to the future as we continue to work and grow together walking in the path where God is leading.

Blessings, Beverly E Stenmark, District Superintendent

NEW HAMPSHIRE DISTRICT

The New Hampshire District churches just continue in their unique and wonderful ways to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. New exciting ministries in the district churches continue to catch the imagination of members as they seek to reach out into their communities and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others. For the first time in several years we celebrate the birth of a new child in a parsonage family. Virginia Fryer and her husband Brian Stevener welcomed Kate Anabelle Stevener into their family on June 22. She is a delight! Virg is certainly doing everything she possibly can to grow the nursery and Sunday School in the Lebanon UMC.

144 Last year in this report I shared the concern I have for the number of aging buildings we have on this district as churches and parsonages. I am happy to report that the Plymouth Church has moved into their brand new facility this year after selling their aging building to Plymouth State University. If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to see it, please do so in the near future. They love showing off their new building and it is a great model for what can happen when a church decides to take the risk and move on. I also want to mention that Grace UMC in Keene has voted to sell their building and has temporarily moved their services into the Odd Fellows Hall in Keene. I am aware of two other congregations that are giving serious consideration to moving out of their buildings as well. As churches continue to worship in these outdated buildings we find ourselves re- aligning the focus of the church into a different direction. Rather than looking out at ways we can be in mission to our community we find ourselves looking inward at all that needs to be done to maintain, preserve and sustain the property we have. At our District Day with Bishop Weaver this year we heard him explain how the day will soon be upon us when our churches will experience new configurations of ministerial assignments. There will be more multiple-point charges and other creative ways of providing services in our local churches. Once again New Hampshire is out in front. Not only do we have a large number of multiple-point charges, but we also now have more than 17% of the churches on this district with pastoral care being provided at least partly by lay persons. There are now 14 lay persons in this district that are leading worship in local churches on a regular basis. Speaking again of Bishop Weaver, the Contoocook UMC is thankful that he came in June to baptize those waiting to be immersed in the Contoocook River! Churches throughout the district have continued to organize and have participated in Volunteer in Mission trips to make a difference in Slidell/New Orleans, LA, Down East Maine Ministries, in Jacksonville, ME and the United Methodist Economic Ministry in Salem, ME. During the Church Conference Season last fall New Hampshire District Churches contributed nearly $8,000 to the Salem Economic Ministry through one of several programs that they offer there. Additionally, more than 200 flood buckets were prepared and delivered to Mission Central. With sadness I report that the effort to re-vitalize the East Lempster Congregation has not been the success we had hoped it would be. Many of the area clergy worked tirelessly and there is still a Bible Study continuing in the community, but the numbers of persons attending worship simply does not justify keeping that building operating. I can’t finish the record of this year of activity on the District without mentioning the fact that this district has won the Penny Challenge at the annual conference session in every category for the last quadrennium. That is four years in a row! As you know this means that the youth of our annual conference are the winners. Your pennies support the youth work in this conference and you have every right to be justly proud! I am convinced that God is moving in our midst. As we continue to remain faithful, pray for wisdom and discernment, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will be led to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

John Blackadar - Superintendent NORTHERN MAINE - 2009

This has been my first year on the Northern Maine District, and it has been a real pleasure to see the faithfulness and courage of the people of God called United Methodist in this corner of our Conference. On the Northern Maine district we have some great good news. We have churches which are actively doing mission and ministry in their communities, churches which are growing with new people coming to worship and to faith. We have churches which are stretching their resources in order to create new ministries to meet needs in their communities, including three new youth pastor positions and a variety of creative responses to the heating crisis of last winter. We have churches which are reaching out to the world, through UMCOR and Heifer International and the Nicaragua and West Angola covenants and others. We have churches which are working hard to meet their budgets and their connectional mission shares, and trying to find ways to do that without completely spending down endowments. We have churches and clusters which are seeking out new ways to be in ministry together in cooperative and connectional ways. It is also true that on the Northern Maine District, we have had some real struggles. There are churches which have been contemplating whether they have the resources to continue in ministry, and if so how to do that, including three churches which participated in Viability/ “Possibility” studies. By the grace of God, there have been no church closings in Northern Maine this year. There are churches struggling to find ways to pay old mission shares or health insurance or pension bills in a difficult economic time. There are churches which have had to reduce their ministry time in order to stabilize their financial situation. The Orono UMC went from full-time to ½ time; the Baileyville UMC went from full-time to ½ time. Howland UMC was well served by a Mutual Ministry Team from the First UMC of Lincoln and saw some wonderful growth through this year. They will begin

145 with a new ¼ time appointment on July 1st. The Ripley UMC, Pembroke UMC, and West Lubec UMC will be working with Ministry Teams led by “Pastors of Record” for the coming year. Brownville Junction UMC stepped out in faith and went from ¼ time to ½ time. At Annual Conference this year, the statistician reported that 3 of the 4 poorest counties in the conference are in the Northern Maine district. This high poverty rate affects the ministry of our churches. Churches are burdened by old buildings and high expenses. We have many committed laity and quality clergy, and the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are often discouraged. Of the 51 appointments in 64 churches in NME, 14 are currently full-time. The other 37 pastors serve faithfully at ½ time or less. In spite of the challenges, 36 churches paid 100% of mission shares in 2008, and 4 have already done so for 2009. Last fall, Julia Wallace gave three workshops around the district on Cooperative or Shared Ministry options. Several churches are now creatively exploring different possibilities in shared ministry. This spring we held a workshop at six locations in the district on Book of Discipline changes and on Certified Lay Ministry. There are currently six candidates for CLM in our district. We have a new District Ministry Team and District Lay Speaking Committee, both of which have been hard at work this year. With three new regional District Lay Leaders, and other emerging District committees, we look forward to a greater sense of cohesiveness in Northern Maine. Technology plays a part, as we experiment with conference calling and Skype to give access to meetings without excessive travel. A goal on our district is to move our churches from a sense of isolation and fear to a place of warmed heart for mission and ministry.

Pat MacHugh, District Superintendent

RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS (RIM July 2008-June 2009)

I am thankful to God for the steadfast faithfulness and love that the people of the RISEM District continue to show in all matters of Gospel. As is typical for any given year there have been places and actions that have challenged the churches as well as places and actions where the church has challenged the culture. Into this tension, we are called by Jesus, into this tension we are called to be a witness to the world, into this tension we demonstrate the relevancy of faith and the body of Christ. There were several church changes in the District. The Cooperative Parish on Martha’s Vineyard dissolved and as a result Chilmark Community Church has developed a ministry plan to the up island community and the three down island churches (Edgartown, Christ and Trinity) have merged into United Methodist Church on Martha’s Vineyard with an ongoing plan to provide ministry and mission to the down island communities. The churches in Providence continue to be in dialogue as well as look toward a future of hope. Provincetown and Open Table of Christ became reconciling congregations. The District was recognized in the statisticians report at Annual Conference as having the greatest number of professions of faith within the conference and a close second in worship attendance. At Annual Conference, we recognized new local pastors Barry Burdick (Westerly) and Thomas Demers (Chartley); Federico Carmona (Open Table of Christ; Providence) was commissioned a provisionary member, Jinwoo Chun (Cornerstone of Faith, Coventry, RI) was ordained an elder and Paul O’Neil (Acushnet-Wesley) was received as a full elder in the UMC. Phil Viall continues to provide leadership as the District Lay Leader and Kim Whynacht has become the District Director of Lay Speaking. The District Committee on Ministry has met with twelve new candidates for ministry which represent a variety of theological and cultural backgrounds. Larry Snow, a retired pastor from the NY Conference serving Wellfleet passed away. Within the district there continues to be concern for immigration and gaming. Both Rhode Island and Massachusetts have had significant pressure to engage in casino gambling as a way to balance local and state budgets. So far, citizens of each state have shown their disapproval for these venues; however, as finances tighten, the temptation will grow larger. Throughout the district, and in particular Rhode Island, persecution and concern over immigration has raised consciousness and action by local churches and the Rhode Island State Council of Churches. The Rhode Island State Council of Churches has also worked hard to mobilize churches around human trafficking and to eliminate legalized prostitution in the state. My gratitude continues for the excellent work that Susan Leatherwood provides for the District as well as the work of the various committees and boards. It continues to be a joy to serve as Superintendent and my initial goal of being the first RISEM DS since 1980 to serve a full term as DS has been accomplished. I am hopeful that this upcoming year will provide the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel, as well as the faithful to live boldly in the name and because of Jesus.

TRI-STATE REPORT JUNE 2009

The Tri-State District includes 74 churches in 3 states: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The district covers coastal New Hampshire, the north shore area of Massachusetts, and coastal Maine extending just north of Portland. The churches are in rural, urban, small town, and suburban settings. They are served by full time and part time pastors. Our congregations have shown incredible faith, determination and grit as they’ve weathered storms within and without, taken risks for the Gospel, explored new avenues of stewardship and sought to reach their communities with the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. We were particularly challenged this year by the economic downturn. Congregations found creative ways to deal with the situation. Even though most churches worked hard to keep up with mission shares, we experienced a decrease in what was paid. New life and growth is evident around the district. Many of our churches now have coaches to help guide them through Natural Church Development. We celebrate with Chestnut/New Light UMC in Portland, ME on the consecration of their new facility in June. The Hispanic ministry at Christ Church in Lawrence started a new faith community in Lynn, MA. We ask for prayers for the new faith community being planned in Haverhill, MA. Imagine what could happen if each of our churches committed to starting a new faith community! We are grateful for the many dedicated pastors and laity who have responded to the call to serve the church on the district level. The District Committee on Ministry, Board of Church Location and Building, District Superintendency Committee, Committee on Leadership, Lay Speaking and Mission Share Review Committee have all been active and functioning effectively. Our District Ministry Team has done excellent work. Last fall, a member of the DMT attended each church conference with the superintendent. They shared a brief program about creative ministries already happening on the district and encouraged churches to use their God-given passions to reach outside their walls with the Gospel. This coming year, they will once again participate at each church conference. The next emphasis is on mission. District events were well attended and received. Marcia McFee's workshop on worship was highly reviewed. We appreciate the collegiality and support seen among the clergy and laity. God's renewing Spirit is alive in Tri-State. May we continue to pray and support one another as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!

Revs. Janice & Michael Davis, Co-Superintendents

147 MEMOIRS: 2008 - 2009

CLERGY

James Mase Ault

Remembered as Bishop, prominent educator, and ecumenical leader, but especially for “his commitment to being a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ”, Bishop Ault was born on August 24, 1918 in Sayre, PA, the third of five sons to Tracey Everett Ault, railroad worker, and Bessie Mase Ault, schoolteacher. After graduating from the local public schools, he became an apprentice in a local tool-and-die plant. He met his wife Dorothy Mae Barnhart at the (Sayre) Methodist Youth Fellowship. They were married in 1943 while he was serving in the US Army as a lieutenant in San Francisco, han- dling supplies for the Pacific theater during WWII. Following his military service, James attended Colgate University, Syracuse, NY, during which time he served the Preston Charge in the Wyoming Annual Conference. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, graduated with honors in 1949, and went on to Union Theological Seminary, where he graduated at the top of his class.

************ HISTORICAL NOTE

In 1796 the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church created the New England Annual Conference. The first session was held September 19, 1797, at the Old Meeting House in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. Bishop Francis Asbury intended to preside but was prevented by illness and had Jesse Lee take his place. Originally the conference included all of the New England states as well as portions of New York and Canada. Reorganization soon removed the latter two geographic areas. Subsequently, the work in Maine (1824) as well as in New Hampshire (1829) and Vermont became strong enough to warrant independent annual conferences. The volume of work and the long distances to travel caused Maine to reorganize in 1848 into the Maine and East Maine Annual Conferences, with the Kennebec River as the dividing line. They remained separate for seventy-five years, merging again into the Maine Annual Conference in 1922. Recognizing the notable Methodist work done in the southern part of New England, the 1840 General Conference divided the Existing New England Conference and created the Providence Annual Conference. This conference was renamed the New England Southern Annual Conference in 1881. After a decade of studying and planning, the New England and New England Southern Annual Conferences were merged at a special convocation held on January 31, 1970, at Wesley United Methodist Church in Worcester, Massachusetts. In the early 1980's merger discussions began for the annual conferences in New England. In 1992 the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference took action that led to a merger of the Maine New Hampshire, and Southern New England Annual Conferences into the New England Annual Conference to include all of New England except Vermont and the western half of Connecticut. Bishop F. Herbert Skeete convened the first session of the new New England Annual Conference on Thursday, June 2, 1994, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

180 JUDICIAL COUNCIL DECISION

MEMORANDUM NO. 1085 IN RE: Review of Bishop’s Decision of Law in the New England Annual Conference Concerning the Legality of the Conference Policy on Parsonages Shared between Local Church Clergy and Conference Staff. In the 2007 session of the New England Annual Conference, the Board of Trustees moved adoption of RS 218 - Policy on Parsonages Shared between Local Church Clergy and Conference Staff. This resolution dealt with situations where local churches provide housing for an appointed pastor which is also occupied by a full time New England Conference staff person. A pastor of the conference spoke against the motion stating she believed the proposed legislation to be in conflict with Judicial Council Decision 510 and that it contradicted RS 213, a 2003 annual conference resolution. RS 218 was adopted by the conference and the pastor asked for clarification of the process for bringing the matter to the Judicial Council. In a letter to the bishop, the pastor outlined the concerns she had raised on the floor of annual conference as follows: I believe that this resolution, as well as the situation that prompted its writing, is in conflict with Judicial Ruling 510. RS 218 refers to the local church and Annual Conference sharing expenses for the parsonage in which a clergy couple lives and implies that the member of the clergy couple who is living in the parsonage of the other member of the clergy couple will not receive compensation in lieu of housing. Resolution 218 violates the spirit of NEAC 2003 Resolution 213. The implication of Resolution 218 is to perpetuate the inequities in our system related to issues of the total compensation for clergy couples. The bishop interpreted the concerns to be questions of law and issued a decision of law. He ruled RS 218 did not conflict with Judicial Council Decision 510, that there was no conflict with RS 213, and that while he shared the concerns about inequalities between male and female clergy, there was “no basis to find that RS 218 in any way contributes or perpetuates such inequalities”. The Judicial Council has jurisdiction under ¶2609 of the 2004 Book of Discipline. The pastor stated the concerns but did not frame the concerns as questions of law upon which a decision of law could be rendered. The bishop should not have treated the concerns as questions of law. DIGEST The bishop’s decision of law is not affirmed since no questions of law were submitted upon which a decision of law could be rendered.

October 27, 2007

James W. Holsinger, Jr., Jon R. Gray and Shamwange P. Kyungu were absent. C. Rex Bevins, the first clergy alternate, and Solomon Christian, the first lay alternate, participated in this decision.
