43 Reports to Convention

Report of the Canon for Mission Finance & Operations 2012-2013 As I write this report and reflect on this past year in our Diocese and the Finance and Operations department, the trees outside are changing to their magnificent fall colors. It strikes me that this year in our shared life has also been one of noteworthy change.

This past year we have witnessed the impact of the 2011 Convention resolution on “Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence as the Body of Christ” (MRI) with all of its stated consequences, both positive and negative. In 2012 we saw a net increase of 5 parishes who were pledging 10% or more. In 2013 an additional 18 parishes joined that group for a total of 126 parishes pledging at least 10% to the diocese. Many more parishes, although still below the 10% pledge, are working toward increasing their giving in support of the work outlined in the Budget of Convention each year. Sadly, some parishes voted to close in late 2012 and in 2013. The closing of these parishes, however, presented opportunities for meaningful mission centered conversations as to how vacated buildings could be used in the service of God’s work in those communities. The mutual ministry teams envisioned under the MRI resolution are incorporated into programs for parishes coordinated through the Canon for Mission Collaboration and Congregational Life’s office. This has opened the door to healthy discussion of topics beyond finances for many parishes.

The reduction in Diocesan staff funded by the Budget of Convention has created opportunities for parishioners and clergy to volunteer and share their expertise for the benefit of entire Diocese. Many of our Boards and Committees have been populated with new members who bring new insights and energy for the substantial work that is being done. Our Diocesan staff has been reorganized, many times over, as we continue to develop new ways to operate and offer services. Staff members are finally starting to settle into more clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

Another resolution from the 2011 Convention has resulted in the decision to sell Diocesan House and relocate the offices. Bishop Douglas will address this more specifically in his address to convention. However, it has been and will be yet another change moving into future years. Change, it seems, is ever constant.

With the recent departure of Diocesan accounting staff member, Melissa Haas, we will be reassessing the staffing of the finance department. We are indeed fortunate and blessed to have two extremely talented and dedicated finance staff remaining, Shirley McGarry and Karolyn Dunn. I am so appreciative of the additional burden they carried during my sabbatical and in the wake of Melissa’s departure.

During the past year we endeavored to find ways to work more efficiently and reduce costs, not only for the Diocese but for our parishes. The Insurance Board was able to expand the types of coverage while reducing annual property and casualty insurance premiums for the parishes.

The Program and Budget Committee developed a proposed 2014 Budget of Convention which is a balanced budget. The Committee focused on minimizing cuts to programs and enhancing programming supportive to parishes and clergy development. The budget also reflects costs associated with relocating Diocesan House offices in 2014.

44 In 2012 we were able to bolster the Diocese’s financial reserves which had diminished in the past few years due to decreased pledging when the economy was faltering. Diocesan finances have returned to a level of stability. Our 2012 audit yielded satisfactory results and the auditors reported to the Executive Council that internal controls are still functioning even with the significant staff reductions in the finance office. Currently 2013 income and expenses are on track with the budget and monitoring of spending in relation to income will continue as the year unfolds.

The Donations and Bequests investment funds as of September 30, 2013 have performed well against their benchmarks, although investments in the fixed income fund continue to be impacted by low interest rates. The Trustees have invested a great deal of time this past year looking at the structure and operations of the fund and its service providers to ensure that the needs of the Diocese and its participating parishes are being met. This process will continue as we move into 2014.

As I look toward the future, I know there will be more change, some of which is known and some which remains to be revealed. However, I have faith that with change there is an opportunity for new life and growth.

45 Treasurer’s Report: Year ended December 31, 2012 I am pleased to report that Fiscal year 2012 ended on budget mainly because of stringent expense control and better than expected pledge income. Despite this result, and given the state of the national economy, it remains prudent to continue the conservative budgeting approach that has been Diocesan policy over the past several years.

Through continued careful management of expenses and with the full expectation that parish pledges come in for the balance of the year as expected, we expect the 2013 Budget of Convention to provide a small surplus. This is important since reserve funds are at the minimum level recommended by our auditors and a small surplus will enable the Diocese to increase its surplus. During this period there has been no reduction or compromising of internal fiscal controls or results mainly due to the extraordinary efforts of Cindy Winslow and the reduced financial staff.

The preparation process for the fiscal year 2014 Convention Budget was straight forward. Under the capable leadership of Barbara Curry, the Program and Budget Committee, using the 2013 Budget of Convention as a model, was able to construct a proposed balanced Budget of Convention for 2014. This was assisted by the projection that parish pledges for 2014 would be higher than in 2013. This result was directly related to the MRI Resolution, with more parishes increasing their 2014 pledge to 10% than parishes decreasing their pledge. The proposed 2014 budget contains a modest increase reflecting costs associated with the relocation of Diocesan House and added administrative assistance for the finance department in light of the retirements of key staff in 2011.

Despite the continued stress on the staff from staff reductions, the financial control over discretionary and fixed costs was exemplary. In addition, the bishops and staff continue to evolve and refine the structure and purposes of the diocesan staff to assist the work of the parishes in carrying out God's Mission.

I personally continue to feel blessed to be a part of this process, all of which takes place in a faithful and collegial atmosphere and with a growing understanding of God's Mission and our common life together as the Diocese of Connecticut.

Respectfully Submitted,

Lynn Alan Brooks, Treasurer

48 Budget Narrative 2014

The 229th Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut will be asked to adopt a Budget of Convention for 2014 that represents the detailed work of the Program and Budget (P&B) Committee and the ratification of the proposed budget by the Finance Committee and the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council. The P&B Committee received written requests for funding from various committees, commissions, departments and affiliated organizations throughout our Diocese. The proposed budget reflects the results of the P&B Committee review of the requests and their efforts to recommend a balanced budget that provides funding for the mission efforts of our diocese within the anticipated 2014 fiscal resources.

Unlike prior years where requests for funding significantly exceeded anticipated pledges, requests for funding were more constrained, with some actually seeking a reduction. The projected revenue from parish pledges, determined by applying giving patterns and trends to the income reported on Line B of the 2012 parish parochial reports has resulted in a slight increase. In 2011 the Annual Convention passed Resolution # 1 on Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence as the Body of Christ (MRI) affirming the parish pledge of 12.5% and outlining possible diocesan responses to those parishes pledging below 10%. As parishes have found ways to increase their pledge percentage and more Diocesan programming is being offered to assist those parishes who are pledging less than 10%, we anticipate slightly more resources will be available to fund programs through the Budget of Convention. The overall parish pledge average for 2013 is 9.97% up from the 9.34% level in 2009. This increase in the pledge percentage, when applied to Line B of the parochial reports for 2012, is expected to provide an additional $250,000 of revenue in 2014. A reduction in revenues to the Diocese for the Donations &Bequests (D&B) financial assistant is expected based upon changes the D&B Trustees are pursuing for 2014. The total projected revenue from all sources available to fund the 2014 Budget of Convention is $4,822,000 with 90% of the revenue coming directly from parish pledges.

The requests for funding in 2014 reflect changes in diocesan operations and staffing as well as new initiatives, leadership development training, and collaborative programming designed to more fully support parishes and clergy in furthering God’s mission in Connecticut and the world. Additional information about these changes can be found in the explanation of funding for each budget category/schedule of this narrative.

The timing of the budget development process necessitates that we estimate revenues long before the pledge cards are received and we know the actual amount of pledge income. The P&B Committee is presenting a “balanced budget” where expenses do not exceed revenues for 2014. The projected 2014 income and expenses will be closely monitored and expenditures will be thoroughly reviewed before commitments for payment are made. The Executive Council will watch the progress of the actual financial statements during their 2014 meetings and make further adjustments in the working budget as necessary.

The 2014 budget is based upon the following changes and assumptions:

1. Pledge income from parishes is estimated to be $4,350,000 in 2014. It does not rely on any prior year reserve funds to fund the budget. Prior year reserves are being maintained at an auditor-recommended amount necessary to cover cash flow and a modest amount that could

49 be available as necessary for contingencies. The budget also includes income from other sources such as trust fund income which has been adjusted to take into account the fluctuations of an erratic market, the state of the local economy, the spending plan adopted by the Executive Council, and the stability of other predictable funding sources. Interest income on invested cash will remain low due to only slightly increased interest rates. In 2014, $25,000 of income from the Beebe Fund will be utilized to offset expenses to aided parishes if necessary.

2. The 2014 budget reflects a reduction in the financial commitment of our diocese to The Episcopal Church for its participation in God’s mission at the general church and global level. The Episcopal Church Pledge (Schedule A) has decreased not only because the revenue base on which this pledge is calculated has decreased, but because of a conscious decision by the P&B Committee, in consultation with the Bishops in 2012, to reduce the contribution from the asking of 19% of 2011 Diocesan income by 1% each year starting in 2013 until it is at 15%. Even with this decrease we expect that the Diocese of Connecticut, which has a large number of parishes compared to other dioceses in the Episcopal Church, will continue to be one of the largest contributors to the Episcopal Church’s budget in 2014 based upon dollars given. The overall reduction in revenues also results in decreased funding for our commitment to the Millennium Fund which is based on .7% of total revenues.

3. As we continue to live into the reality of the reduction of Diocesan House staff that occurred in 2011 and changing responsibilities, some budgeted line items have moved. To facilitate comparison of costs between 2013 and 2014, 2013 expenses have been conformed to the 2014 presentation.

4. In 2013 funding for three new initiatives (Emerging Urban Ministry Initiatives, Young Adult Ministry Initiatives and Combating Gender Violence) was added. Applicants for this funding will need to apply on a year by year basis and there is no guarantee of continued funding for any program. An application process is being developed for these funds.

National & World (Schedule A)

As members of the Body of Christ the Great Commission calls us to “go into the entire world.” In partnership with all Christians we act through the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. The Bishops and Deputies from the Diocese of Connecticut share in the deliberations of the General Convention. Interdependence among the dioceses of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion (Province I and Companion Relationships with the Diocese of Colombia and continued ties with the Diocese of Lebombo in Mozambique, The Diocese of Boga in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Diocese of Ecuador Central), fosters relationships which attempt to overcome isolation between cultures and countries and enrich the mission and ministry of all. Our pledge to the Episcopal Church is based on 17% of our total diocesan income from parishes and other sources as reported for 2012 using a formula set by the 2012 General Convention. For 2014, The Episcopal Church asking approved by the 2012 General Convention formula is 19%. The 2014 pledge reflects a $96,714 reduction from 2013 as a result of the pledge percent decreasing from 18% to 17% and a reduction in diocesan revenue base from the prior year. The 2014 the Provincial Synod pledge reflects continued

50 funding of Province I programming. National and World Mission includes the annual .7% CT Millennium Fund contribution ($31,000) previously voted by our annual convention.

2013 2014 General Convention $922,004 $822,062 National & World Mission $73,000 $75,179 $995,004 $897,241

Congregational Development (Schedule C)

This funding from this schedule will support 17 congregations as they seek to provide faithful ministry in the Spanish speaking, West Indian, Haitian, African American and deaf congregations furthering strategic outreach on behalf of our diocese. In 2013 Spanish Language Ministries Group worked collectively with Bishop Curry to oversee the distribution of funding in support of the Hispanic ministry in 13 communities. Funding for the Haitian Missioner will encompass support of multiple parishes within their communities. Financial resources to support worship in our deaf communities is available. Grants for the Emerging Urban Ministry Initiatives will be determined through an award process that will be developed.

2013 2014 Funding for Congregational Development $284,600 $289,600

Camp Washington (Schedule D)

The Camp, Conference Center and Transfiguration Lodge provide essential resources for children, families and adults for prayer, spiritual development, recreation and education and they serve as a center for our common diocesan life. The budgeted funds are used to subsidize the summer camp program and staff salaries. Independent funding for Transfiguration Lodge and Camp Washington Scholarships is provided by outside resources including the Bishops Open, trust funds and other efforts which are not part of this budget. As always, new funding sources will be sought.

2013 2014 Camp, conference center facility, staff subsidy $150,000 $150,000 Christian Formation (Schedule E)

Christian Formation (Schedule E)

Christian Formation is an integral component of a vibrant parish life. It also can occur outside of individual parishes in programming that extends to the wider diocese as parishes begin to work in a more collaborative manner, sharing resources and information in ways that create synergy at the local and regional level. There are talented Christian Educators and other resources available throughout our diocese and the Episcopal Church which can be tapped into. Our diocese will continue to absorb a portion of the costs for diocesan wide Christian Formation events, such as confirmation retreats through funding in this schedule. It will also provide funding for innovative programming and events as opportunities arise. In 2014, the line item for Young Adult Ministry

51 Initiatives was moved from Schedule F to this schedule.

2013 2014 Christian Formation Program Costs $22,000 $22,000 Higher Education (Schedule F)

Higher Education (Schedule F)

A Christian presence for students and faculty in higher education settings through Episcopal chaplains at Yale and UConn, and grants for chaplaincies on other campuses offers important ministries on behalf of all parishes and opportunities for evangelism. The proposed budget will continue to subsidize the cost of a 1⁄2 time chaplain on the UConn Storrs campus and the part- time chaplaincy on the Yale campus.

2013 2014 Subsidy for Higher Ed Committee $5,000 $5,000 Subsidy for Episcopal Chaplains $68,766 $69,550 $73,766 $74,550 Young Adult Ministry Initiatives Moved to Sch. E

Stewardship (Schedule G)

Training and resources for stewardship education and environmental ministries enable individuals and parishes to more fully live out the Gospel and to strengthen spiritual growth. In 2014 $3,000 of funding was added to support the Province I Missioner for Energy Stewardship.

2013 2014 Program and Consultation Costs $3,500 $6,500 Communications (Schedule I)

Communications (Schedule I)

Communicating the mission and ministry of individuals, parishes, the diocese, the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion through various mediums allows for the telling of the story of God’s ongoing faithfulness and our responses. Expenses include funding for staff, the annual diocesan magazine (CRUX), electronic communication technology (including website maintenance, upgrades and expansion), video communication and general public relations assistance. The 2014 budget includes a small increase in hours for the part-time communications assistant position which was added in 2013.

52 Ecumenical Relations

Working ecumenically on matters of faith and social action through support of the statewide Christian Conference of Connecticut (CHRISCON) offers the strength of a common voice from the religious community to address issues facing the state. Bishop Douglas is the diocesan representative as a judicatory head.

2013 2014 CHRISCON & Ecumenical Programs $12,250 $12,250

Diocesan Programs (Schedule K)

Modest funds for training and resources offer support to the Committee for Liturgy and Music as it relates to our worship ministries, to the Prison Ministry (Faith Beyond Bars and Beyond) for their advocacy work, and to support our healthcare chaplains. In 2014 the work of the Anti- Racism Committee, which enabled us to meet mandates of General Convention and our Diocesan Convention, will be accomplished through programming at the Province I level and through Visions Training.

2013 2014 Committee for Liturgy & Music $1,000 $1,500 Committee on Aging & Life Planning $0 $250 Anti-Racism Committee $2,000 0 Prison Ministry (Faith Behind Bars) $1,000 $1,000 Visions Training $5,000 $5,000 Healthcare Chaplains $500 $500 $9,500 $8,250

Mission Outreach (Schedule L)

These funds provide seed money for programs of mission and outreach in parishes, deaneries and communities to address human need in areas of health, human services and urban mission through the Mission Development Fund and other grants. The ecumenical social outreach organization Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services (IRIS) serves as a mission outreach effort of the Diocese of Connecticut. Money to support expanded social justice and advocacy efforts in the Diocese have been added to the budget for 2014 .The Mission Development Fund grants that are not awarded in the budget year are added to the sinking fund and remain available for future grants. Funding for Combating Gender Violence initiatives will be determined through an award process to be developed.

53 Diocesan Convention (Schedule M)

The Diocesan Convention meets annually to conduct our diocese’s canonical business and receive reports on diocesan activities. The Executive Council manages diocesan business matters between conventions. Both entities enhance our common life and strengthen the unity of the larger community of faith around the diocese. Because the cost of convention venues can vary greatly based upon location, the 2014 budget proposes the creation of a sinking fund which will allow for unspent monies at the end of the year to be transferred into a fund for use in future years when costs may be higher. The Executive Council project teams created in 2012 have completed their work eliminating the need for funding in 2014.

2013 2014 Convention & Joint Leadership $61,500 $45,000 Secretary of Convention $13,922 13,922 Secretary of the Diocese $13,922 $13,922 $89,344 $72,844 Bishops Ministry (Schedule O)

Bishops Ministry (Schedule O)

The Bishops Ministry Schedule funds the office of the Diocesan Bishop who is responsible for the pastoral oversight of the whole diocese and its mission as well as the costs associated with the two full-time Bishop Suffragans and support for the expenses of their vital ministries. The “Parish Intervention Consultations” funding has been increased to more accurately reflect the costs incurred when a Bishop determines that an outside consultant is needed to assist with a parish intervention. The 2014 budget begins to set aside money to defray the significant costs associated when a vacancy in the Episcopate will require an election at a future date. This schedule also includes funds for the Bishops salary and benefit adjustments based upon a 3.0% salary increase (1.5% COLA plus 1.5% for partial restoration of the 5% salary reduction taken in 2010. Benefits costs are anticipated to remain flat as increased healthcare costs will be offset by an increase in employee contributions towards medical insurance from 5% to 10% in 2014.

Staff Salary, Benefit Adjustment, & Ministry Fund

This line item represents a 1.5% COLA increase and 1.5% partial restoration of the 2010 salary reduction for Diocesan House staff. Group Life, Medical and Dental insurance premiums are anticipated to increase by 10% in 2014. This increase in cost will be offset by an increase in employee contributions toward the medical insurance from 5% to 10%. These pretax employee contributions towards medical insurance premiums and elective contributions to a Section 125 Flexible Spending Account will reduce the employer payroll taxes producing a cost savings over 2013. There is no merit increase pool budgeted for 2014. (Note: Salary and benefits adjustments for Bishops are separately included in Schedule O.) A new line item has been added for 2014 to begin a sinking fund for severance pay for Diocesan House staff in accordance with a policy defined in the Human Resource manual for Diocesan Staff. Diocesan House employees are not provided unemployment compensation benefits.

57 Report of the Diocesan Executive Council 2012-2013 The Executive Council consist of the Bishop Diocesan, two Bishops Suffragan, and one clerical and one lay delegate from each of the fourteen deaneries. The Bishops may appoint up to six additional members at large. Additionally, the Council elects a Secretary, which has traditionally been the person elected as Secretary of the Diocese. The Treasurer and the Chancellor are ex- officio members. The Canons for Mission Collaboration, Mission Leadership, Mission Finance, Mission Integrity and Training, Mission Communication and Media, and the Executive Director of Camp Washington all serve in an advisory capacity.

The Executive Council is charged by Canon with: Collecting and allocating funds within the limits of the budgets adopted by the Diocesan Convention; exercising the full power and authority of the Diocese between sessions of the Convention in most matters; and establishing and maintaining program initiatives.

Our vision for our life and work together:

• The Executive Council will be a diverse and inclusive community of Christian leaders with a strong sense of community. • The Executive Council will fulfill canonical responsibilities and effectively manage the finances of the Diocese. • The Executive Council will engage with parishes and individuals across the Diocese as it works to facilitate new ways of participating in God's mission of restoration and reconciliation in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. • Executive Council members will be agents of change who help to envision a new future for the Diocese, seeking God's guidance through Scripture and prayer.

In 2012-2013, the Executive Council (meeting jointly as Executive Council and the Boards of Directors for Camp Washington and the Missionary Society) met as follows:

• December 5, 2012 at St. Peter’s, Cheshire • February 23, 2013 at Four Points Sheraton, Meriden • June 1, 2013 at Yale Divinity School, New Haven • September 7, 2013 at Camp Washington

The members exercised their ministry of leadership and oversight in the following ways:

Project Teams:

The Council/Boards continued the work of two project teams: Diocesan House Relocation and MRI Resolution Implementation. The Closing Churches and Camp Washington teams had completed their work at the end of 2012, and so their members joined other teams. Additionally the Executive Council and the Standing Committee joined together with representatives from each body to populate the Constitution and Canons Committee to undertake the task of revising the Constitution and Canons. At the request of Convention two other groups were also formed to follow up on the resolutions on the Episcopacy and the Endowments (reports from each of those groups appear separately as follow up reports on their respective resolutions.)

58 The Diocesan House Relocation Project Team successfully marketed property at 1335 Asylum Avenue, Hartford. A sale is currently pending, and so the bulk of their work in 2013 has been in researching new office space and meeting with possible designers. The team has also engaged a relocation expert as a consultant to assist with finding new office space. The hope is for the move to new office space to be completed at the end of 2013 or early in 2014.

The MRI Working Group reconfigured itself in 2013 following a productive retreat day with a small group of parishes in December of 2012. A number of people from around our Diocese who have financial expertise have been enlisted to serve as consultants to work with those parishes who are pledging below 10%. In 2013 the Team is holding four workshops that will include conversation about our diocesan structure and work as one Body in Christ, identifying congregational gifts and individual financial coaching with the above mentioned consultants. followed by group reflection. The MRI team will continue to evaluate and modify its work, as needed, to best fulfill the intentions of the 2011 resolution.

The Constitution and Canons Committee worked over much of 2013 to revise our current Constitution and Canons to bring them more in line with the current life and work of our diocese, as well as to make them more flexible for our common life going forward. In drafting the Committee worked with the various constituencies and members of diocesan staff whose work is directly impacted by the Canons. Input was solicited from the entire diocese through E-News, surveys and listening sessions in September and October held around our diocese. The Committee is presenting to the Convention a revised Constitution and Canons, including a revised Constitution for the Missionary Society. Revisions to the Canons, if approved, will take effect at the adjournment of Convention. Revisions to the Missionary Society Constitution will take effect immediately, if approved. Revisions to the Constitution require the approval of two successive Conventions, and so they will need to be revisited in 2014 before they can take effect.

The Council and Boards reviewed and accepted the FASB, GAAS compliant, combined, annual audits and documents from the diocesan auditors, BlumShapiro, for the financial statements for 2012 audit. They also received the financial statements from the Finance Committee on a periodic basis, and through that committee reviewed them for audit.

The Council reaffirmed the appointment of Blum Shapiro as auditors for 2013 and 2014.

The Council worked with the Finance Committee and the Program and Budget Committee to present the Clergy Minimum Salary Schedule and the Budget of Convention for 2014 to the Annual Convention in October 2013.

The Council also ratified grants for the Millennium Development Fund and the Mission Development Fund as follows:

Millennium Development: • Manos de Dios House Build (St. Peter’s, Milford) - $6,800 • Kateri Medical Clinic (Trinity, Tarriffville) - $5,000 • Grace International School (St. Peter’s, South Windsor) - $10,000 • Laikipia North Stakeholders Forum for Development (Trinity Church, New Haven) - $3,000

59 Mission Development:

No grants were received from the Mission Development Fund, as the Committee has spent the first half of 2013 redesigning its application and process. The Council anticipates having grants to approve in late 2013 or early 2014.

Camp Washington:

Acting as the Board of Directors Camp Washington Inc., heard reports throughout the year on the increased activity in both camp and conferencing programs. It also received financial reports and approved the budget for the coming year.

Missionary Society:

Sitting as the Board of Directors of the Missionary Society, the following loans from the Revolving Loan Fund were approved:

• St. Thomas, Bethel – $100,000 • St. Andrews, Meriden – $65,000 • Church of the Good Shepherd, Orange - $20,000

The Board ratified grants for the Trinity Fund (So. Norwalk) Committee totaling $60,000; and grants from the Trinity Waterbury Fund of $49,200 and the Harrub Fund of $13,521.

Property Matters:

The Executive Council voted to ratify the dissolution of two parishes, Christ Church, Avon and Christ Church, Canaan.

The sale or lease of the following properties (held by the Missionary Society) was approved by the Board:

• 23 Thompson Road, West Hartford (clergy housing) • 74 Granite Avenue, Canaan, CT (rectory) • 35 Harris Road, Avon, CT (formerly Christ Church)

The Council is vested with the authority of carrying out the work of Convention during the year. Through its work as the Council, Boards of Directors and our various project teams, we are committed to continuing to help our whole Diocese to more fully participate in God's mission of restoration and reconciliation in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Respectfully submitted,

The Rev. Molly F. James, PhD Secretary of the Diocese and Executive Council

60 The Bishops’ Fund for Children 2013 has been a year of change for The Bishops’ Fund for Children. The first significant change is that in mid-March, 2013, Gigette Ursone was hired as the new Fund Administrator for The Bishops’ Fund for Children. The second significant change is that the BFC has moved from its primary location at the Diocesan House in Hartford, CT to Camp Washington in Lakeside, CT. Camp Washington is the perfect location, as it is a wonderful compliment to the ministry of The Bishops’ Fund. The Bishops’ Fund for Children was able to meet 64% of the grant requests we received in 2013. The Fund was able to provide $146,750 in response to these requests (please see listing of individual grants). In addition the fund awarded a $10,000 Grant to Trinity Church in Newtown and donated to the scholarship fund at Camp Washington as compensation for support services provided.

“Dear Mrs. Ursone, Thank you to you and The Bishops’ Fund For Children for your generous support; it means more than you can imagine! In many ways, homeless children are the most heartbreaking part of homelessness. Thanks to you, Inspirica is able to provide them with amazing support that ensures they will develop in line with – if not ahead of – their peers who are not homeless. We could not do it without you! -Jason” SPECIAL MENTION

The Bishops’ Fund for Kids would like to acknowledge the top “single” fundraiser for the 2013 Bishops’ 5K: Dede Fitch, St. Timothy’s, Fairfield, CT. Dede’s hard work and dedication are a wonderful example of how one person can make a huge difference. Dede, thank you for your loyalty and hard work!

IN CLOSING

The needs of Children at risk in our Diocese continue to grow, the Mission of the Bishops’ Fund for Children is to expend our best efforts to meet that need. To accomplish this we will depend upon ever increasing generosity of Episcopalians in the Diocese of Connecticut.

Camp Washington Look to the future and get ready for change. This was and is the charge for 2012 and beyond. At the Executive Council meeting in December 2011, it was recognized that Camp Washington needed the Council’s help in marketing Camp Washington’s offerings and summer camp program to all new clergy and parishioners of our diocese.

In February 2012, a Project Team was formed to explore Camp Washington’s needs. With the help of a consultant the committee started the process of forward thinking.

By fall of 2012, the Team framed a two to five year Plan, which included the following: 1. Increase usage numbers at Camp Washington by: a. Increased marketing with a goal of 100% Parish participation. b. New Branding 2. Develop Program Specificity using Mission/Reconciliation as its core 3. Evaluate Staffing Needs 4. Develop a Board of Directors 5. Prepare for change in Leadership in December, 2014 6. Evaluate Long – Term Funding needs 7. Capital Campaign

Although the plan reached beyond the original communication/marketing intent, future needs did emerge. I am happy to report movement has taken place in most areas identified.

I do want to acknowledge the Project Team for all of their hard work in developing the above goals and objectives. Thank you to:

CAMP WASHINGTON PROJECT TEAM Rev. Robert (Bob) Stocksdale , Chair Terry Birdsong Bishop James Curry William Hart Rev. Ellen Kennedy Barbara Curry Suzy Burke

62 I look forward to the changes ahead with excitement for members of this diocese and especially the children. Camp Washington has always been that ‘special place’ and with prayerful planning we will continue God’s work here at camp.

In Christ, Jean V. Handler Executive Director Camp Washington, Inc.

Episcopal Church Women Nestled in the woods of Connecticut, Camp Washington offered the ideal setting for the meeting of the Diocesan ECW board on September 15, 2012. We welcomed two new board members, Dr. Mary Decker as the Christian Education Program Leader, as well as Gloria Rogers as Program Leader for Christian Social Concerns.

The meeting offered the opportunity to review programs and activities as well as plan for the year ahead. The delegates to the ECW Triennial which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, Elizabeth Silva, Carol Gardier, Elizabeth Kyle, and Valzie Peterkin gave their reports. Our second vice-president, Shirley Greiman, was elected Vice-president, Program, on the National ECW Board; Carol Gardier and Elizabeth Kyle participated in the ECW’s Inaugural 5k Run/Walk; Diocesan delegates also served as volunteers on several committees.

It was also announced at the meeting, that the White Envelope grants recipients for the calendar year 2013 would be, Bikes For Kids, located in Centerbrook, Connecticut, and the Out-of- Diocese recipient would be the Nambale Magnet School, Busia, in the Western Province of Kenya. Their application was sponsored by the Lower Naugatuck Valley Deanery. The funds for the White Envelope grants are made possible by the annual contributions from the ECW members in our Diocese; the program is unique to Connecticut. Each year the program gives women in our Diocese the opportunity to share with those in need the blessings we have received. On November 1, the Fall Ingathering of United Thank Offering, (UTO) was held at Holy Trinity Church in Enfield. At the luncheon following the Eucharist, we learned about their very successful outreach program, Education Resources for Children, (ERFC.)

The Finance Committee met on February 2, and developed a budget which was presented to the Executive Board later that day. The budget was approved and presented to members of the Diocesan Board at a meeting on February 16. After much discussion the budget was approved. At the Open Board Meeting held on March 16 at Trinity Church in Seymour, the prevalence of violence in our communities, especially as it affect the young was the message brought by Ms. Kim Bon Vecchione and Ms. Val Albrecht of the Barnaba Institute. Joyce Mueller was also welcomed as the new Mid-Fairfield Deanery Coordinator. On March 25, Shirley Greiman and Valzie Peterkin represented ECW on the March Against Violence in Washington, D.C. which was sponsored by the Diocese of Connecticut.

Highlight of the program year was the 132 Annual Meeting which was held at Aqua Turf, in

63 Plantsville, CT. The senseless massacres in Newtown and Boston weighed heavily on the minds of all in attendance. During the Eucharist, the sermon by our Suffragan Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Laura J. Ahrens, offered a message of hope and healing.

The keynote speaker was the Rev. Timothy Safford, Rector of the historic Christ Church in Philadelphia, PA. The Rev. Safford inspired many with his talk about three “Founding Mothers” of the emergent Episcopal Church who worshiped at Christ Church. They were: Alice a slave from Barbados; Deborah Franklin – long-suffering wife of Benjamin; and Betsy Ross – the poor seamstress.

The Annual meeting also inspired our newest board member, The Rev. Alba Perez, to reach out to the Latina women in our Diocese to encourage more participation in ECW. We welcome Rev. Perez and will work with her for success in this ministry. Finally, as we look to the future, the Diocesan Board members authorized a survey. The responses are being analyzed and will be used to guide us in future planning. There is much to do, and it is with prayerful hearts that we give praise and thanks to our God for the privilege to serve Him.

2013 Report from the Liturgy & Music Commission Highlights from 2013 work performed by the Commission:

● Three members of the Commission offered workshops during the highly successful “Spring Training for God’s Mission” event given by the diocese in April. The Rev. Dr. William E. Hardwick drew two large crowds for “The Search for Meaning in a Skeptical Age”, The Rev. Ann Ritonia covered a timely topic with “Making the Most of Musical Resources in a Changing Church”, and Deborah Gemma fielded lots of good questions at her offering of “Episcopal Church Liturgy Basics.” We are glad that the diocese intends to hold another such event in 2014 and are already working on new workshop topics. ● The Commission responded to a request by the Closing Churches Task Force of the Bishop’s Diocesan Executive Council by providing liturgical guidelines for services to mark the closing of a parish or mission station. The guidelines were posted online by the diocese for use by any group. ● We helped the Convention Planning Committee with the liturgical pieces to be included in the 2013 Convention, recommended a music director for that event, and suggested the participation of a diocesan choir made of choristers from around the diocese. ● We created a Hymn Competition to inspire the writing of lyrics reflecting the theme of our 2013 Convention set to a familiar tune from the Hymnal 1982. Thirty-seven entries were received, including some from outside the country! The Commission was pleased with the exceptionally high quality of all the entries—although that made our decision- making more difficult. The winning hymn will be presented and used at Convention and then may be copied for use in all of our Connecticut parishes. The writer will receive a prize of $500. ● Commission member John Armstrong has been working on a recording project which would aid parishes in getting sermons and music onto their websites. The plan is to

64 purchase recording equipment which could be lent to parishes wishing to make such recordings. The long range plan is to create a central way of accessing liturgical offerings from around the diocese in order to share our ideas and resources.

Report of the Working Group On the Episcopate The Working Group on the Episcopate convened in January 2013 in response to this resolution of the 228th Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut:

Resolution #3: Episcopacy Viability taskforce – PASSED AS AMENDED (inserted language to specify work of taskforce)

RESOLVED: That the 228th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, in the interest of mutual responsibility, charges the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council (BDEC) and the Standing Committee of this diocese to appoint a taskforce to examine historical, current and hypothetical models of episcopacy with a view toward re-imagining and re-invigorating the episcopacy in the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, and to facilitate diocesan-wide conversation and education; and be it further RESOLVED: that this taskforce produce a report of its findings to be distributed at least one month before the 229th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut.

From its inception, this Working Group has not considered itself an evaluative group. Thus this report is not intended as a critique of the Bishops of the Diocese of Connecticut but rather as a consideration of future possibilities in light of the tradition and current structure of the episcopate in this diocese.

The Working Group has researched and discussed the history of the episcopate in the Christian tradition and in the Diocese of Connecticut; has discussed the canonical requirements for the episcopate; has considered the experience of the Lutheran and Methodist traditions; and has heard from bishops, lay leaders, and clergy regarding the trends in the emerging episcopate in the United States.

65 1. Brief historical considerations The History and Structure of the Episcopate in the Early Church

Based on information from New Testament sources (I Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:7-9; I Peter 2:25 and 5:2-4; Philippians 1:1; and Acts 1:20 and 20:28) and I Clement, and early church writers Ignatius of Antioch, Hippolytus (The Apostolic Tradition), Irenaeus, and Cyprian, it appears that, as the Church began to grow, there was only one bishop and one Eucharistic community for any city. The role of assistant/suffragan bishops developed considerably later. The relationship between the bishop and the presbyters was intimate, as the number of presbyters was small.

The work of a bishop was essentially the care of souls. A bishop was considered primarily the chief celebrant of the Eucharist, the center of the Church’s unity in each of those communities, the teacher (forming a link to the teaching of the apostles), and the administrative authority. Bishops were essential for ordination and were themselves elected by popular vote of the Church community. The Council of Nicaea (325), in Canon 4, determined for the first time that three bishops were necessary for episcopal ordination or consecration.

The History and Structure of the Episcopate in Connecticut

Samuel Seabury was elected as Connecticut’s first Bishop primarily because he was well known in the area, having returned to his home state following the Revolutionary War. According to some sources, he was familiar not only with his clergy but also with the wardens of the parishes.

All of the early bishops in Connecticut spent many long hours on the road. In 1851 John Williams, president and professor at Trinity College, was elected as the Diocese of Connecticut's first Assistant Bishop, to assist Bishop Thomas Church Brownell, who toward the end of his ministry was plagued with ill health, possibly brought on by incessant travels and staggering correspondence. (Bishop Brownell founded 65 parishes and was asked by the Society for Domestic and Foreign Missions to become a missionary bishop to the South and Southwest. He also was elected the Presiding Bishop but rarely left Hartford because of his health). On the death of Bishop Brownell, in 1865, Williams succeeded him in the sole charge of the diocese. At the same time, from 1854 on, he held the office of dean of the Berkeley Divinity School at Middletown, and was its principal instructor in Church history and theology.

The first four bishops (Seabury, Jarvis, Brownell, Williams) died in office. The first bishop coadjutor, Chauncey Brewster, was elected in 1897. From 1897 until the present, the diocese has usually had at least one suffragan or a bishop coadjutor in addition to the bishop diocesan. The diocese has had two bishops suffragan during the tenures of Walter Gray (1951-69), Arthur Walmsley (1981-93), Andrew Smith (1999-2010), and Ian Douglas (2010 to present). During the

66 tenure of Clarence Coleridge (1993-99) there was a bishop suffragan (Andrew Smith, 1996-99) and an assisting bishop, Steven Charleston (1999).

2. Current canonical requirements As articulated by the Canons of the Episcopal Church, the mandated responsibilities of the Bishop (Diocesan) are relatively minimal. All new Bishops, for example, are required by Canon (11.12.1) to participate in formation organized by the House of Bishops, (the Living Our Vows Residency organized by the College for Bishops, aka “Baby Bishop School”). All Bishops are also required to keep up their Continuing Education (111.12.2) and report such to the House of Bishops. The Diocesan Bishop (the ‘Ordinary’) is required by Canon (111.12.4.d) to make an Annual Report on the State of the Diocese to the Annual Diocesan Convention. A Bishop is required by Canon (111.12.3a) to visit every parish in a Diocese once every three years, not annually as assumed by many. Bishops suffragan serve under the direction of the Bishop Diocesan. They may serve as Clergy in Charge of a congregation, but may not serve as Rector (III.11.9(b)).

Bishops are necessary for Ordinations, Confirmations, and Receptions, identified by the Book of Common Prayer as “Episcopal Services”. These actions cannot be performed by the Standing Committee, which in the absence of a Bishop, is the “ecclesiastical authority” of the diocese and otherwise assumes much of the bishop’s authority for the diocese. In the absence of a bishop in these cases, the Standing Committee must also secure the assistance of other bishops of the Church. These episcopal services, however, are sometimes offered regionally or as part of an episcopal visitation, rendering possible a reduction in their number.

It is feasible to fulfill canonical requirements and delegate some responsibility. One bishop could theoretically make visitations for about 135 congregations within three years as required by Canon (allowing for vacation and Council). Other bishops, called to assist, could be authorized to make some of the visitations in the place of the Diocesan Bishop. Some of the work of bishops in a diocese could be delegated, as evidenced in other dioceses. For instance, in Massachusetts the local deans may officiate at the installation of new clergy. Local deans or other authorized representatives could exercise a level of 'episcopal oversight' in local communities, being 'first responders' to emergencies and crises, pastoral care for clergy, intervening in troubled parishes, and holding each other accountable in our mutual life and ministry.

Ultimately, however, ecclesiastical discipline, issues of mediation between clergy and a congregation, giving consent for remarriage, granting permission for licensed ministries, letters dimissory, and permission for liturgical use as dictated by particular Canons and rubrics must be handed down by the bishop or bishop suffragan, though some administrative tasks may be handled by diocesan staff.

3. Insights from the ecumenical discussions The Episcopal Church's understanding of the ministry of bishops and the wider exercise of the ministry of oversight in the church has been clarified and also refined in the past few decades as a result of our ecumenical dialogues, particularly with Lutherans and Methodists, whose understanding of bishops differs from ours. Lutheran and Methodist bishops practice ministry that is spiritual and administrative.

In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), bishops are elected by Synod Assemblies, consisting of both lay members and clergy, for a term of 6 years, which can be renewed, depending upon the local synod's "constitution" (which is based on either the ELCA or ELCIC's national constitution). Since the implementation of concordats between the ELCA and the Episcopal Church of the United States and the ELCIC and the Anglican Church of Canada, all bishops, including the Presiding Bishop (ELCA) or the National Bishop (ELCIC), have been consecrated in the historic apostolic succession, with at least one Anglican bishop serving as co-consecrator.

In the United Methodist Church, bishops serve as administrative and pastoral superintendents of the church. They are elected for life from among the ordained elders (presbyters) by vote of the delegates in regional (called jurisdictional) conferences, and are consecrated by the other bishops present at the conference through the laying on of hands. In the United Methodist Church bishops remain members of the "Order of Elders" while being consecrated to the "Office of the Episcopacy."

Since the development of the World Council of Churches document Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry, it has become normative to differentiate between the historic episcopate, and the exercise of episkope, or a ministry of oversight. Clergy and laypeople may also be called to ministries of oversight in the church which, within our own polity, may be expressed in ways such as serving on the diocesan or churchwide Executive Council, a standing committee, a disciplinary board, or even as President of the House of Deputies. Some of these ministries are personal, others collegial, and others communal (a distinction made in Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry). Although the ministry of a bishop provides the clearest example of episkope, the personal exercise of a ministry of oversight is by no means restricted to a bishop. Because of this emphasis on shared episkope, it is important to be cautious about adopting too functional an argument about the role of the bishop, saying that she or he is the who exercises the ministry of oversight in the diocese or the wider church.

In the course of other ecumenical discussions, such as the Consultation on Church Union, the Episcopal Church has distanced itself somewhat from other denominations. The Consultation on Church Union outlined nine characteristics of episcopal ministry. The characteristics that the Consultation on Church Union outlines are as follows:

68 1. Liturgical leadership 2. Ordinarily presiding at the sacraments 3. Teaching the apostolic faith 4. Pastoral oversight, particularly the pastoral care of clergy 5. Leadership in mission 6. Minister in the act of ordination (and confirmation) 7. Administrative leadership 8. Ecumenical leadership, representing the church to other churches and the world 9. Participation in church wide governance

While the Episcopal Church agreed that all nine of these were essential to the ministry of oversight, we wanted to maintain the distinction that certain of these ministries could only be done by bishops, others could be shared with priests, and still others could be shared by the laity, priests, and deacons. While stressing, however, that the Episcopal Church does not regard these characteristics as the exclusive purview of the bishop, the list still provides a good overview of the components of the ministry of oversight, some of which will be done by a bishop, and others fulfilled by the ministries of others.

With respect to the polity of the Episcopal Church, the only characteristic of Episcopal ministry that must be fulfilled by the bishop is #6. All of the others can be shared. Some characteristics (#1 and #2) are ordinarily shared in our church with presbyters, or with both clergy and lay people (#9). With respect to the other characteristics, each diocese has discretion in determining how best to order its ministries of oversight, based on local context and the individual gifts of its bishop(s).

It would almost certainly be unwise to place the entire burden of these responsibilities on the episcopate. Nor should bishops be reduced to sacramental functionaries, fulfilling only those aspects of ministry reserved exclusively for them (ordination and confirmation). Ideally the healthy exercise of episkope (the ministry of oversight) would be shared by bishops, presbyters and lay persons, according to the gifts that have been given to them by God and discerned by the church.

4. The emerging episcopate in The Episcopal Church Currently there is no uniform model for the episcopate. Dioceses develop a model that functions locally according to diocesan need. Although the tasks of a bishop are similar, the exercise of the office is affected by the size of a diocese, the local culture, and the gifts and vision of the bishop diocesan.

The calling of a bishop suffragan versus hiring an assisting bishop also seems to be influenced by economics and local culture. Economic and demographic circumstances also dictate the manner in which some dioceses have structured the episcopate. Dioceses with two bishops formerly

69 having more include: North Carolina, Dallas, Maryland, New York. Dioceses with one bishop that used to have two include: Albany, Long Island, Newark, New Jersey, Southern Ohio, Ohio, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Washington, Olympia.

a. Insights from bishops

We invited a dozen bishops to share their thoughts regarding the episcopate emerging in the 21st century. We asked them two questions, in boldface below. We promised to keep their identities confidential so they would be candid. These are their insights, mostly verbatim. Assuming that there are no theological, canonical, or historical limitations, how would you reconstruct the episcopate to meet the needs of the 21st century?

● It seems that God is guiding the global Christian church into this unknown territory by inviting us to try little experiments, take little risks of new patterns from which we learn, both by our failures, which will surely happen, and from surprising things that work well and open new possibilities. ● Episcopacy in the 21st century needs to stand on its own in service to the priesthood of all believers. The bishop has a canonical responsibility to serve the good of the whole community. The theology of baptism is foundation to all Christians. The question the bishop needs to ask: what do baptized people need in order to be faithful to God’s mission. ● Caveat: I am not sure of lessening the limitations or the boundaries….. While as a priest, I pushed against them. In a way, that was my job. It was the bishop’s job to push back and to work with me as the local pastor of a particular context to reach the most creative and effective result for the missional challenge we were experiencing as a parish. While I rolled my eyes when boundaries were set, in fact and I didn’t understand why, now that I am a bishop and must always keep in mind the big picture, I can see the wisdom and care with which my own bishop engaged. To always be conscious of the realities of our church history, theology, canons and global context is the bishop’s job and quite an important one. Decisions may have to be made that must work for all. Unfortunately, bishops do not have the luxury of forgetting about any one part of the body. I say in my diocese, “we have only one bishop in each diocese, so that not everyone must become neurotic balancing canons, Anglican Communion concerns, the big picture, etc…..” ● I would change the way we interpret and use the canons, theology, history, etc. I think this would engage a process of reconstruction appropriate to our day and age. We have viewed the important boundaries of our faith identity through a lens of hierarchical patriarchy that is not necessary to the communication or experience of Christianity. As at least one popular writer says, “It isn’t Jesus that is the problem, it is his followers…..” It is possible to have a collaborative interpretation and therefore, model, of the four orders of ministry working respectfully and well together. In my own diocese we talk about laity ordered

70 (not ordained) for ministry through baptism. We all are ministers by virtue of baptism, and then some of us are ordered through ordination to the diaconate, priesthood or episcopate. We speak here of those working in concert with one another, collaboratively sharing, challenging, creating, and energizing the whole ministry of the church. I respect the authority of the other orders and they respect mine, with few encounters of people feeling as though someone is “lording it over” them. This changes the way we see God and people. It allows us to value and collaborate with communities and individuals not members of the church in more dialogical and respectful ways. When I do this as a bishop, there is a permission giving that occurs for clergy and congregations to work more collaboratively as well, thereby opening their systems and structures in ways that allow for greater flow between secular and sacred, world and church – to use dualisms that exist less and less. There is then opportunity for service and faith conversation that is not “right” or “wrong” by someone’s particular standard but people encountering Christ and the world together. ● I suspect that the answer to reconstruction is yes, but I am not sure I see the yes. The teaching role of the bishop has been largely lost over time. It is simpler to look at expectations of the episcopate from in front of the office (canons, BCP etc) than from behind (where fulfillment is experienced in the process of serving as a bishop) - the spiritual reality is not identical with cultural expectation.

Beyond the canonical necessities, what is the essential work of a bishop in the 21st century? ● To love Jesus and share his grace in all places and with all people – especially when it is difficult, painful, or when we don’t want to because our ego is bruised. To lead lovingly, teach with relevance; to inspire the faithful to serve the world. To show up and be the voice of hope when there feels like isn’t one. To raise up leaders, empower them and serve alongside them. Humbled by the great diversity of the church, speak on behalf of those who are not heard; linking the local with the global and empowering the eternal reach of Christ. ● To lead lovingly, well, with relevance. ● Can a bishop set boundaries in order to practice healthy self care? The expectation is enormous, and is larger in a larger diocese. ● To help people learn and appreciate their vocation, to coach, teach, encourage, goad. To network and to facilitate connectedness on many levels. ● To define and reveal the role of the Christian and the church in the world. To teach and give pastoral care, to be a witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is really important for bishops to be pastoral to their clergy in this time of transition: so they know that they are beloved children of God, cared for, supported, affirmed. To assist in setting boundaries for benefit of clergy. To model a relationship with Jesus, and prayer, and family life. ● The change in ecclesiology changes the role of the bishop. We moved from a system in which the bishop was out and about among loosely federated churches in the diocese (18th and 19th centuries) to a system paralleling a centralized corporate office, with the bishop and staff as resources for subsidiaries (20th century). In the late 20th century, the diocesan model was regulatory, and the

71 bishop was the chief executive. We are returning to the ancient missionary model for the bishop and for all ministers, as the corporate and regulatory models pass away. ● It seems to me that the day-to-day work of the bishop is becoming more like a community organizer and less like a CEO. All of that of course is done in light of the bishop's ordination vows, sacramental and canonical duties. ● The episcopate in the Episcopal Church is rapidly moving away from a model that is central executive focused and more apostolic and peripatetic in nature. The days when the "Diocesan Staff" coordinated the work of the diocese in various branch offices and franchises is coming to quick end. The idea that the Diocesan Staff had responsibility for providing programming to congregational membership is also ending. There simply isn't enough money, and there hasn't been enough interest on the part of the majority of the laity in dioceses. ● What is happening is that the Bishop's staff (not the Diocesan Staff) is reforming itself into an older model. There are certain responsibilities that by national and diocesan canon must be done by the bishop's office, but programs and grassroots initiatives are moving out into the grassroots of the congregations. The bishop's office staff, though, as well as the bishop, are uniquely situated in the life of the diocese to be the networking hub of the community. Most information eventually or initially flows through the bishop's office. Given that, the bishop and staff are most likely to be able to connect independent initiatives around the diocese with resources and additional support. Occasionally the bishop is even able to recognize a meta-trend in the life of the community, bring that to the attention of the community and to help to birth a response. b. Insights from lay leaders in Connecticut We invited lay leaders in our diocese to respond to the same questions. We observe that they are inclined to perceive the bishop(s) as powerful, influential, and in control of the outcome. Their responses are below. ● I would reconstruct the episcopate to a new model of leadership - one of servant leadership with clergy (bishop as coach and teacher) ; one of inspirational leadership with laity (bishop giving info on the wider church; the pressing issues of the day; the wider viewpoint and how the diocese of CT fits into it all). ● The work of the bishop is to challenge the youth (like my 13 year old- who finds it is not compelling to be a part of the church.) ● I think the major role of the bishop is to articulate a shared vision for the diocese and to pastor and empower the clergy to pastor and empower the laity at the local level. All else is secondary and can be delegated, subcontracted or assigned to other staff or volunteers. The episcopate is also a very costly investment and a diocese really needs to practice good stewardship. I like to use the analogy of the medical model where you have the physician, the PA, the nurse practitioner etc. The physician should not perform functions that can be handled more efficiently and effectively by a nurse. Similarly, we don't need a bishop, or in the case of our diocese, three bishops, to do work and ministry that other people can do a lot better. ● The work of a bishop remains to be a pastor and teacher to the leaders of

72 worshipping communities and a spokesperson for the church as expressed at convention. Ideally, a bishop would also offer a prophetic voice, calling all people to re-examine their lives and the way we treat one another in society. If there is ever a conflict between priorities of the greater church and the diocese, the bishop should focus on the diocese. ● Do we need three bishops? Can we support three bishops when many churches are feeling the financial bite and are closing their doors? Visibility is a huge issue. Can our bishops find a way to bring our diocese to the grassroots people? See if many in any parish know what our diocese is all about. Our diocese could use its canons more visibly. One visit a year from someone in our diocese is simply not enough. Business-as-usual will bring more disaffection. Bishops should be cast in the image of Jesus. Bishop Ian seems to have a handle on how to go about doing just that. However how many of the sheep ever see him? We really need better public relations. We must find ways to get the message of our diocese to the lost sheep. ● The work of the Bishop should be: mentoring ordained and lay ministers of the diocese and offering spiritual counsel to all; rejuvenation of struggling parishes with personal visitation; evangelism within the realm of The Book of Common Prayer; growth of communication to the Diocese not only through email but through a monthly or quarterly newspaper so all communicants can keep abreast of the goings on in the diocese. ● I don't believe we need the number of full-time Bishops in Connecticut that we have. I think retired Bishops from either CT or other states can come in and assist for confirmations, installations, etc. ● The essential work of the episcopate is the same today as it was with Saint Peter 2000 years ago: shepherd the people of God. Bishops NEED to be able to communicate with their flock on the level of the flock. They should be understood by a child and a PhD in divinity. ● If the episcopate were to be reconstructed, the bishop should be a spiritual leader as well as a CEO. An effective bishop would see the strengths and communicate that into a marketing strategy to grow the church. Involving the priests in the Diocese in the process would promote a grass roots effort. The work of the bishop in the 21st century is to examine where parishes are and determine the best way to consolidate resources for the good of the whole Diocese. c. Insights from clergy The clergy spoke of their desire for deeper relationship with their bishops. ● The bishop is the chief pastor. Good administration is good pastoral care: paperwork returned on time (LOAs, marriage judgments), answering the questions I ask (re paperwork) and communication in general. ● I have concerns about pastoral care of clergy and care for parish ministry. Are priests ever an obstacle to the work of the bishop? What is the role of the parish and the parish priest in the Missio Dei? ● How can we give feedback and support to the bishop(s) in ministry? ● I think we have to ask ourselves what can uniquely be done by bishops and what we can remove from their plates to allow them to perform their episcopal acts

73 with integrity. What can be done by deans or canons? ● I long for pastoral conversation as part of the visitation process, to include meeting and conversation with priest plus spouse/partner, along with the vestry, wardens, and confirmands. ● The role of the diocese has changed dramatically over the last decade: yet information about how the new model works is not being shared. How can we do our work without knowing the expectation? ● Disciplinary matters appear to have more integrity if there is already a pastoral relationship. ● The often unspoken issue of trying to do God’s work with less money is not really a positive vision for the episcopate of the future. If we are committed to the mission, we will find the financial resources. Let’s not just bless what is happening by accident. We need to clarify our priorities as a diocese.

5. Questions for continuing discussion We submit this report with the knowledge that the Episcopal Church has also convened a task force to examine possible changes to our ecclesiastical structure, administration, and governance. We suggest that it would be redundant to duplicate work that will be carried out on the denominational level. At the same time, we also recognize that strategic discussions may enrich our mission and prepare us for the future.

In consideration of all that we have learned in this process, the Working Group recommends that the Diocese of Connecticut take some time to discern as a community the ways in which the Holy Spirit is inviting us to consider new models of the episcopate to serve the mission of God. We recommend that, with the assistance of the Standing Committee and the Diocesan Executive Council, the diocese discuss these questions which have been raised to our Working Group over the last eight months.

1. Can and should our diocese articulate a new vision for the local expression of the episcopate? Should the 20th century tradition of a diocesan assisted by two suffragans continue in the future? Do we want to consider the model emerging in some dioceses of the bishop as Chief Spiritual Officer? What effect would this have on sacramental and administrative work? Do we want to consider the model of the bishop as a community organizer? Which communities will be organized? 2. Does our diocese want to raise up and increase the transparency of shared episkope? In what ways is shared episkope a desirable and viable stewardship of the office of a bishop? Who would share episkope in Connecticut? What does shared episkope look like in the sacramental ministry? in administrative ministry? in pastoral ministry? How will all church leaders be taught about and prepared for this new model?

74 How will efficacy of shared episkope be evaluated? 3. What is the responsibility of the diocese to support the ministry of our bishop(s)? What is the mutuality of our ministry and how is that lived out? Can the Convention and Diocesan Executive Council work on a shared episkope: teaching for leadership of the entire diocese? 4. In the past, relationships between bishops, clergy, and people reportedly were quite close. Is it important whether this is myth or reality? Is this important to us now? Do we seek an ongoing dialogue between bishop(s) and diocese? If this is a priority, what can we do as a diocese to make this a reality? Is it difficult for this relationship to grow when the bishop(s) travel so often? when the diocese tends toward individualism and congregational independence? Where do the pastoral work and public witness of the bishop(s) intersect?

Report of the Archivist What is contained in the basement of 1335 Asylum Avenue? The documents, manuscripts, publications, biographies, artifacts and evidence that illustrate and preserve the history of the oldest Episcopal Diocese in the United States-- and we are obligated to do everything possible to preserve and share that history. The years for October 2012- September 2013 have required fewer but more involved reference questions. Last year, I responded to 290 questions and this year only 220 by e-mail, telephone, and letter, excluding questions from staff members. I have had the good fortune of visiting a couple of parishes undergoing administrative changes that

75 turned to the archivist for assistance in retention of business documents as well as conservation and arrangement strategies for their own archives. I am always willing to assist your parish with hands-on assistance when asked.

The Rev. Canon Jervis Zimmerman has published a well- written and researched biography, An Embattled Priest: the life of Father Oliver Sherman Prescott: 1824-1903. Recently, T. Felder Dorn, an academic scholar who used our archives for research, has published Challenges on the Emmaus Road: Episcopal Bishops Confront Slavery, Civil War and Emancipation. Our own fourth Bishop, John Williams, figures in this account. Each of these books seems particularly relevant to the Ecclesiastical, liturgical and cultural heritage in the formation of the life of our Episcopal Church.

I had the pleasure of helping over a dozen visitors who were using our parish drop files to research their parish histories for publication for upcoming anniversaries and events, and giving an occasional tour. Last year, I had reported my intent to return archival material deposited here by active parishes. With the consideration and advice of the Archives Committee, we elected to keep those archival records on site. Additionally, with the advice and consent of the Archives Committee, the Standing Committee, and the Diocesan Bishop, we donated “The Lloyd Library” a rare 18th century collection of religious books and treatises to the Yale Divinity School Library, and will soon be donating our Harry Croswell papers to YDS. The Rev. Croswell was a well- known and active priest at Trinity Church in New Haven, who was instrumental in the founding of St. Luke’s parish in that city. The Divinity School already has some of his papers, and our collection will complement their existing collection. These decisions are not made lightly, especially since past archivists went to great pains to acquire collections. Our rationale is that donated collections will be preserved, cataloged, and made accessible to the public. The Episcopal Archives in Austin, Texas, has this week received the Samuel Farmar Jarvis papers. Only son to Bishop Abraham Jarvis, Samuel, who had an impressive career in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, was also the first historiographer of the Episcopal Church, so he is a figure of national interest.

As most of you are aware, the diocesan offices will be moving, and in preparation for the move, Greg Farr, a talented archivist, has joined us part-time in our endeavor to complete the inventory and move the archives safely and in an organized fashion. Using Archivists’ Toolkit as a data base, as of this month, we have processed to the folder level, 175 “collections” or individual entities consuming 594 cubic feet. We have much more work to be done in very little time.

In addition to Greg Farr, I owe a special debt of gratitude to three other archivists involved in assisting in decisions about arranging and moving the collection: Peter Knapp, of Trinity College; Diana Barnard, of St. Joseph University; and Jerry Carroon, retired diocesan archivist and historiographer. Dr. Borden Painter and Ms Barnard, at a great sacrifice of their time, worked extensively with the Task Force on Relocation advocating for the archives. Borden Painter and I, with Dr. Andy Zeman spent many hours weeding our resource library. The Archives Committee agreed that the scope of the library needed to be narrower to be accommodated in a smaller space, and many of the books were too general to be of research value. The committee met much more frequently, asked some of the hard questions, and provided suggestions and unflagging support to our Connecticut Episcopal history and archives.

76 As always, I am grateful to the bishops, Cindy Winslow, and the dedication and advice of the Committee on Archives who met quite frequently this year: Chancellor Bradford Babbitt, Borden W. Painter, Keith Hook, Peter Knapp, Roger B. White, Andrew Zeman; Steve Ling, and Diana Barnard.

This work is ongoing at the time of this report. 7. It was decided that this committee will sponsor a table at the 2013 Annual Convention of the Diocese for the purpose of giving delegates the opportunity to sign up to participate in the Episcopal Public Policy Network, and the Connecticut Public Policy Network, giving our people a means of advocating for social justice in Congress and in our state legislature. In addition, there will be an opportunity for delegates to sign up for our Social Justice and Advocacy eNews. 8. The Committee will present a workshop at the Annual Convention of the Diocese on the Affordable Care Act. Lynne Ide will lead this event.

77 Spanish Language Ministry Group During the past year, the clergy leaders in twelve Spanish language ministries in Connecticut met monthly for mutual support, prayer and Bible study, mission development and coordination. Block Grant - Having received the first ever block grant from the 2012 Diocesan Convention Budget to fund “Hispanic Ministry,” our first task was to develop a means of allocating and then accounting for those dollars. Once we determined our goals for Spanish language ministry in CT in 2013, we decided among ourselves how the funds would be used. Eleven ministries received funding, including four new initiatives—one of which stretched us into assisting a start-up Portuguese ministry in Bridgeport. Accountability - We then created a structure for mutual accountability to measure our progress in the five goal areas: expansion in participation in worship, outreach, and leadership; expansion and enrichment of Christian education and spiritual formation; creativity in the use of resources; building from success in mission; and achievement of continuity through stability of place and leadership. Documentation of accountability consisted of a written report from each funded ministry, supplemented by an evening in May when clergy and lay people gathered to share the stories of our efforts. This proved transformational. Each ministry presented one or two stories of where they had seen God at work in their midst. The evening was electrifying. Of particular note was the large number of young people who participated. Everyone listened patiently as each story unfolded in English and in Spanish. A big picture of the mission in which we were all playing a part began to emerge, and all were uplifted. Many found kindred spirits in other parishes, and engaged in animated exchanges of information and encouragement long after the meeting was over. New directions - Because of the great impact of this May meeting, we made some “course corrections” in our common mission. We resolved to include our parishioners in more of our decision-making processes as a group. We decided to set aside a portion of the next block grant to use for the good of Spanish language ministry in CT as a whole, rather than allocating the entire sum to individual parishes or ministries. This will allow us in the future to come together more often with our lay leaders for necessary training, fellowship, and the exchange of ideas and energy. And we also perceived a new area of focus: ministry among the young people in our parishes. Planning for the future - In the year to come, we hope to move from goals to strategic plans. We need to tackle as a group our ongoing difficulties with financial security. Our three “stand- alone” Spanish language parishes in Norwalk, Bridgeport, and Meriden will be participating in an MRI (Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence) program, receiving help concerning their financial challenges from a regional cooperative ministry team. We will continue to utilize the resources available to us through The Episcopal Church, skyping regularly with Anthony Guillen and other leaders across the country with experience in ministry among Spanish speakers. Since the last Convention, all of our ministries have struggled with issues around changes in leadership. Seven of our communities (over half) are in various stages of transition. And yet, we know the growing importance of our multicultural mission. Demographic shifts documented by the most recent census data have put us on the crest of the new population wave in Connecticut. We are grateful for the continued support of the rest of the diocese and the power of the Holy Spirit which will enable us to ride that wave. The Rev. Dana L. Campbell, Convener

Bishop’s Address Delivered to Convention on Friday, October 25, 2013 by the Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas, Ph.D.

The theme for this year’s 229th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut is “The Way of Jesus: Growing in God’s Mission.” “The Way of Jesus: Growing in God’s Mission.”

Some of you might recall that the issue of “growth” arose in last year’s convention when we began to confront the reality of numerical and economic decline in our diocese. It was suggested that “growth” might be a possible theme for this year’s convention. As your Convention Planning Committee prayerfully planned for this convention, our understanding of growth slowly shifted from a focus on numerical and economic indicators to the broader invitation to grow in faithfulness to the mission of God. It was the Planning Committee’s position, one with which I agree wholeheartedly, that as we become ever more faithful to what God is up to in the world (the mission of God), then the Church as a Body will become ever more vital and alive. Numerical and economic growth is thus not a goal but rather a result ‐ the result of the Body of Christ becoming ever more faithful to God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in the world.

So of course, the question is: How do we become ever more faithful to the mission of God in the world? Well, my sisters and brothers, the answer is Jesus. In Jesus, we are given “the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) In Jesus, God has broken down the walls that divide us one from another and restored us to unity with God and

81 each other in Christ (BCP p. 855) In Jesus, God has reconciled the world to himself and given us the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinthian 5:18) The way of Jesus is the way of God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation. Following the way of Jesus, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will grow in God’s mission.

So the theme of this, the 229th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut is: “The Way of Jesus: Growing in God’s Mission.” In this address, in our bible study to follow, in our worship (particularly in the sermon tomorrow by my good friend and brother Bishop Michael Curry), in our breakout groups, and in our business together we will be invited, over and over, to consider what is the “Way of Jesus;” and how are we called through the power of the Holy Spirit, to become ever more faithful to God’s mission in the world.

Now as I consider the way of Jesus, one constant I see is the reality of change. In Jesus, God is forever doing something new, forever calling us forward into greater wholeness and possibility.

Think about it. When God became human in Jesus it was an entirely new thing. In the incarnation of Jesus, fully human and fully divine, God changed reality and brought about a new creation. In Jesus’ life and ministry, God uniquely and decisively changed the way that humanity comes into relationship with our loving creator. And in Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, God even changed the finitude of death by bringing about everlasting life. In Jesus, God changed everything.

The apostles and disciples knew that the way of Jesus was thus the way of change. They left their nets, their families, their vocations, to follow Christ. Like Paul who was literally knocked off his high horse, the disciples were converted, changed from old ways to new ways in the love of God in Christ. The way of Jesus is the way of dying to old selves and rising to new life with him.

Each and every one of us is invited to change as we follow the way of Jesus. In the waters of baptism we are “buried with Christ in his death, share in his resurrection, and are reborn by the Holy Spirit.” (BCP p 306.) The way of Jesus is the way of change. The way of Jesus is the way to grow in God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation.

We Episcopalians in Diocese of Connecticut, following the way of Jesus, have been embracing change for some time now. Four years ago, yesterday, you elected me, a stranger from the far away land of Massachusetts, as your 15th bishop diocesan. In the diocesan profile for the election you stated: “We sense a strong desire to be open to the Holy Spirit in a new way. We want our next bishop to be someone who can take from our rich history and culture and can also help us be more open to breaking out of entrenched habits and customs.” I dare say that the Diocese of Connecticut, all 168 eucharsitic communities, have been embracing change for some time now as together we seek to follow the way of Jesus.

Now not all change is easy. And sometimes the precipitating causes of change are not of God (and in fact might be absolutely contrary to the love and life of God in Jesus). Last December 14th the shooting of twenty grade school children and six teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary School radically changed us all. In Newtown we witnessed and experienced the incredible horror of gun violence in new ways; gun violence that sadly is not unknown to many who live in our inner cities where shootings of young people are an all too often

82 occurrence. In the hours, days, weeks and months that followed the tragedy in Newtown, (and here I want to acknowledge the incredible leadership of the Rev. Kathie Adams Shepherd, Rector of Trinity Church, Newtown, and the Rev. Mark Moore, Missional Priest at St. John’s in Sandy Hook) we, the people and Diocese of Connecticut, struggled to find the light and life of Christ in the face of death and destruction.

And out of Sandy Hook, we have begun to find a new voice, a new sense of urgency, in challenging the violence, particularly the gun violence, endemic in our society. In new efforts of advocacy, in our Way of the Cross witness in Washington on Monday of Holy Week, and in the ways we are learning to stand with those who continue to lose loved ones from gun violence in our cities, we are being changed. We are being invited to grow ever more faithfully into God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation. Thanks be to God.

Change is not always easy, but often God blesses change. I mentioned in my convention address last year that our four main instruments of common life together, namely the Bishops and Diocesan Executive Council, the Standing Committee, the Commission on Ministry, and Donations and Bequests, would “try on” meeting together as one body in order to better serve God’s mission. The experiment has gone well, I believe, and we are slowly discerning how we can be more fully empowered as leaders together.

Last September this “leadership gathering” of the four main councils and commissions of our diocese participated in a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) led by the Rev. Gay Jennings, a gifted facilitator who knows our diocese well and is also the President of the House of Deputies for the General Convention of the Episcopal Church. I am pleased to say that the results of the SWOT analysis reflected that in the opinion of our diocesan leaders: 1) our primary strength is “openness to change,” 2) our main weakness is a “broken deanery system,” 3) we have a great opportunity right now “to restructure based upon radically new ideas and possibilities,” and 4) the biggest threat is “not changing or changing too slowly.” Now does that sound like Connecticut of old, “the land of steady habits”? I don’t think so. For God has indeed blessed our diocese with leaders on the Executive Council, the Standing Committee, the Commission on Ministry, and Donations and Bequests who are open to the way of Jesus, the way of change. I want to note some of the changes that these leaders, working in conjunction with your diocesan staff, have been able to effect over last year or so.

At our 2011 Diocesan Convention, we passed Resolution #1 on “Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence in the Body of Christ.” The intent of this resolution, I believe, was to help the parishes of our diocese become increasingly mutually accountable one to another, particularly through participation in our common budget passed by Diocesan Convention. Unfortunately the impact of this resolution was fear (and please excuse the violent metaphor here but it is what I have heard some in our diocese say) as some thought the resolution called for “hit squads of the bishop who would close parishes if they were not pledging at the 10% level.” This could not be further from the truth. Rather in response to the Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence Resolution and with leadership from the office of the Canon for Mission Collaboration and Congregational Life, Audrey Scanlan, and an incredible team of dedicated volunteers from across our diocese have hosted 13 different parishes in three collaborative day‐long workshops to see how we can best support one another in living into the parameters of the resolution. Thus, over the last two years 34 of 75 parishes who were previously pledging under 10% of their

83 income to our common work have come up to the 10% or more level. And average parish pledges to our budget passed by convention have increased from 9.2% to 10.00% over the same time period. This is an incredible change. Thanks be to God and the parishes of our diocese.

Over the last year we have also experienced significant changes in how our lay and ordained leaders are supported as together we walk the way of Jesus. On April 20, 2013 we initiated a “Spring Training” event. Close to 200 leaders from parishes across our diocese, primarily lay people, gathered to participate in 19 different workshops and training opportunities helping parishes to be more effective in God’s mission. This educational day was so well received that we will have another “Spring Training” for parish leaders on May 3, 2014 at East Catholic High School in Manchester. You all are invited.

In a similar vein, your bishops have started “Wardens and Bishops Dinners” where we meet with wardens from a variety of parishes to eat together and discuss our common life and service to the mission God. So far we have had five dinners with close to 100 participants and perhaps a third of our parishes participating.

Speaking of bishops, I want to take a moment now to recognize and give thanks to God for the ministry, witness, and collegiality of our Bishops Suffragan, the Rt. Rev. James E. Curry and the Rt. Rev. Laura J. Ahrens. Bishops Laura and Jim are two of the finest, most gifted, most faithful, and hardest working bishops in The Episcopal Church. Together, the three of us have tried to model “one office of the episcopate inhabited by three different bishops – one diocesan and two suffragan.” This has meant a change in how we in the Diocese of Connecticut understand the nature and shape of the episcopate. I so appreciate how together, all of us in Connecticut, are reimaging how the office of the episcopate – Jim, Laura and I together, can foster and support the diocese’s life in God’s mission. I thank God and thank you, Laura and Jim, for our common ministry as bishops. I could not do this job at this point in our diocesan life without both of you.

There are other profound ways by which we have made changes in our diocesan life and leadership as we seek to be more faithful to the way of Jesus in our service to God’s mission. In late 2012 we undertook a nationwide search to find a new Canon for Mission Leadership resulting in Tim Hodapp joining our staff from the staff of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. Tim is profoundly committed to the mission of God and is a gifted communicator and administrator. He, his staff, and parish consultants have reoriented our clergy transition process from primarily focusing on a search for a next rector to an opportunity for growth in God’s mission. And with their good efforts, 41 new letters of agreement between parishes and Rectors, Assistants, Priests in Charge, Interims, and Missional Priests have been signed since our last convention. That’s a lot of change in the life of our parishes.

One of the parishes of our diocese that has come through a time of change in its ordained leadership and community over the last year has been our cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford. This fall the Spanish‐speaking parish of St. James chose to become fully incorporated into the life of the Cathedral making the Cathedral a bilingual parish. I am delighted to say that the Rev. Miguelina Howell, previously of the Dominican Republic and most recently of the Diocese of Newark and one of the most vibrant and dynamic young Spanish‐speaking priests in The Episcopal Church, has come to the Cathedral as our Vicar serving the Spanish and English speaking congregations. Together with the Rev. Harlon Dalton as our regularized Priest‐in‐

84 Charge, the Cathedral community and our whole diocese will now move forward together to answer the questions: 1) How can Christ Church Cathedral be even more faithful to God’s mission in the city of Hartford, and 2) What is the vocation of a Cathedral in our Diocese of Connecticut into the 21st century. These are exciting questions for the Cathedral and our whole diocese to engage as we seek to follow the way of Jesus and grow in God’s mission.

Significant changes have also occurred amongst our staff and activities at Diocesan House. As some of you might recall, in July of 2011 we had a significant reduction of six staff positions combined with two retirements (including the retirement of Jack Spaeth.) These departures represented a 30% decline in staff numbers and the loss of close to 130 years of experience and knowledge. For the first year and half after July 2011, those left at Diocesan House had to work mightily just to figure out which end was up while trying to keep business going as best we could. It was incredibly difficult for all. Here I want to thank all the staff at Diocesan House who tirelessly, and often at great cost to themselves, hung in there during all the changes. I want to note, in particular, Cindy Winslow who stepped in to assume the responsibilities as Canon for Mission Finance and Operations during this difficult time. In 2014 Cindy will return to her former position of Controller and with input from and outside consultant, we expect to search for a new Canon and completely rebuild our finance department in the very near future. (Can we give the staff of Diocesan House here with us tonight, including our Secretaries of the Diocese and of Convention, a round of applause for their incredible faithfulness and hard work through the year and in preparation for this convention?)

In 2013, I am happy to report, that we have started to discern some semblance of order in the staff and offices at Diocesan House. Robin Hammeal‐ Urban, Our Canon for Mission Integrity and Training, along with a dedicated and gifted group of Human Resource professionals from across our diocese, literally rewrote our diocesan Human Resource Manual that had not been significantly updated since 1998. The new manual, authorized by the Bishops and Diocesan Executive Council, is an incredible resource for our whole diocese and purts in place a new, transparent and just system of supervision, evaluation, and accountability for staff at all levels. I commend it to all of you and all of your parishes as a model.

Similarly, under the leadership of our Canon for Mission Communication and Media, Karin Hamilton (who brought us once again this amazing issue of Crux – please do not forget to take home your parish’s box to be distributed to your parishioners) we are in the process of building a whole new diocesan website with much better search functions as well as initiating a diocesan‐ wide branding effort. The fruits of Karin’s efforts will help all of us to use 21st century media to better communicate what it means to follow the way of Jesus.

Finally at our 227th Diocesan Convention in 2011 we passed unanimously – as best as I can recall ‐ Resolution #12 authorizing the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council (BDEC) to relocate Diocesan House in order to “fit current and future staff size as to space flexibility, safety, ADA Standards for Accessible Design, adequate parking and ease of transportation access.” A dedicated Project Team of BDEC, augmented by staff and other volunteers from across our diocese have worked incredibly hard over the last two years to fulfill this resolution.

I am happy to announce tonight that because of their good efforts we have recently entered into

85 an agreement to sell the existing Diocesan House located at 1335 Asylum Avenue in Hartford. In the first quarter of 2014 we expect to move out of the gracious mansion given by Miss Mabel Johnson to our diocese during the episcopate of Bishop Walter Henry Gray, 60 years ago this year and into new diocesan offices.

The Diocesan House Relocation Project Team has thus also been actively engaged in helping to find new offices to serve our diocese. A diocesan‐wide poll completed in June 2012 with 263 responses from Episcopalians in 104 different towns and cities showed that our next diocesan office needed to be accessible, close to major highways, centrally located, with state of the art communications and office facilities, and plenty of free parking.

I am excited to report that we are in the final stages of formalizing a lease for a new diocesan office space in a redeveloped ball‐baring factory at 290 Pratt Street, in Meriden, Connecticut. The new space is fully accessible, right off highway I‐691 at exit 8, with an abundance of free parking, and located in the geographic center of the population of our diocese. The annual operating costs of the new space will be approximately that of the existing Diocesan House except that we will have a much more workable and appropriate office, with reduced capital costs of owning, and our building in Hartford will have been turned into liquid assets. Two dedicated laymen of our diocese are facilitating the move to our new diocesan offices: Mr. Peter Holland from St. Alban’s in Simsbury as our relocation consultant, and Mr. Duo Dickinson from Trinity on the Green in New Haven as our architect. The plan for our new space is that it will accommodate our diocesan offices, gatherings, and meetings in a state of the art facility that belongs to all of us, is open, and flexible. (Duo Dickinson is here with us tonight and is available to speak with anyone interested in seeing the initial plans for our new space in the Vendor Hall during our break.) I believe that moving from a mansion in the West End of Hartford to a former factory in Meriden is indeed iconic of the changes God is bringing about in the Diocese of Connecticut as move forward into the 21st century.

I pray that all that we do in this our 229th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut will draw us deeper into the way of Jesus and help us to grow in faithfulness to God’s mission of restoration and reconciliation in the world. Thank you.
