Note: For the purposes of the General Conference, the Commission on the General Conference offers the following definitions: Orientation—The act or process of acquainting delegates and other official participants with the processes and procedures of how the General Conference functions and the role of participants within the work of the General Conference. Briefing—The act or instance of giving instruction or preparatory information to delegates and other official participants relating to legislative matters coming before the General Conference. The Secretary of the General Conference and the Commission on the General Conference have the primary responsibility of offering orientations to prepare delegates and other official participants for full participation in the work of the General Con- ference. A variety of other organizations, both official bodies of The United Methodist Church and unofficial groups, may also provide orientations and briefings. If such an event intends to talk about actual legislation under consideration by the General Conference, then the Commission on the General Conference encourages the sponsors to use the title of “Briefing” rather than “Orientation” to communicate more effectively the nature of the event. The Commission on the General Conference has granted authority to the Business Manager to make space available at the Convention Center for briefings provided by any of the general agencies of The United Methodist Church to the extent that space is available. The General Conference agenda and registration processes may include briefing provided that they are clearly differentiated that these are events sponsored by specific general agencies and not an official activity of the General Conference under the auspices of the Commission on the General Conference.

Report No. 1 WORLD SERVICE FUND

Introduction When United Methodist congregations give their share of apportioned funds, they participate in God’s work. The World Service Fund is the heart of our collective Church ministry. Through this fund individuals partner with Church agencies to be in mission and ministry at home and around the world. World Service ministry truly makes a difference across the globe.

World Service is God’s people reaching out in love and compassion in the name of Christ. It represents a call and a challenge to each United Methodist. As The 2012 Book of Discipline states, the full payment of the World Service Fund is each congregation’s “first benevolent responsibility” (¶ 812).

Overview For the 2017-2020 quadrennium, the program agencies will continue their programmatic em- phasis centered around four areas of focus: (1) leadership development; (2) Church growth; (3) ministry with the poor; and (4) global health.

The proposed budget of $311,818,512 represents a nominal dollar increase of $4,031,696, or 1.3 percent, compared to the previous quadrennium. In terms of real dollars (accounting for the im- pact of general inflation), the proposed budget for 2017-2020 reflects a 5.6 percent decrease from the budgeted amount for 2013-2016. Furthermore, it represents a $15,698,488 decrease, or 4.8 percent, from the 2009-2012 quadrennium.

World Service Fixed Charges General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”). GCFA is accountable to The United Methodist Church through the General Conference for receiving, disbursing, and reporting all general funds (¶ 806). This line item is an estimate of the World Service Fund’s share of GCFA’s expenses for the quadrennium.

The Connectional Table (“CT”). As part of the total mission of the Church, CT facilitates the Church’s program life as determined by the General Conference. Its task is to discern and articulate the vision for the Church and the stewardship of the mission, ministries, and resources of The United Meth- odist Church (¶ 904). Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1673

Interpretation Resources. Along with producing materials to interpret United Methodism’s connectional funds, the Marketing Team of United Methodist Communications (“UMCom”) uses mon- ey from this section of the budget for “Promotion of Giving,” a joint effort of UMCom, GCFA, and the General Board of Discipleship (“GBOD”). The “Promotion of Giving” goal is to develop comprehensive financial stewardship tools, leading to improved financial support of ministry at all levels of the connec- tion. “Promotion of Giving” resources are financed through the World Service Fund.

Program Agencies The World Service Fund provides basic financial support to program-related general agencies, which are especially important to the common vision, mission, and ministry of The United Methodist Church. Through World Service funding, agencies support annual conferences and local congregations in living out God’s mission for the worldwide Church. General agencies also provide essential services and ministries beyond the scope of individual local congregations and annual conferences through ser- vices and ministries that are highly focused, flexible, and capable of rapid response.

2020 VISION for The United Methodist Church – STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS FOR 2017-2020 Whenever United Methodism has had a clear sense of mission, God has used our Church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world (¶ 121). For 2017-2020, The United Methodist Church has a clear sense of mission discerned by the Council of Bishops and CT.

Our vision is clear for 2017-2020––to double the number of highly vital congregations world- wide to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. United Methodist disciples will engage in mission and ministry throughout the connection to live out God’s vision for a world where poverty is reduced and poor people and communities flourish; a world where children live to their full potential; a world where Christian leaders heed God’s call to discipleship; and a world where new faith communities offer God’s love and grace worldwide. The following collaborative Christ-centered strat- egies will anchor our connectional ministries so that they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound for the transformation of the world.

Our UMC Mission: VITAL CONGREGATIONS. Our 2020 Vision looks forward to a United Methodist Church that doubles the number of highly vital congregations worldwide.

A vital congregation is the Body of Christ making and engaging disciples for the transformation of the world. Rooted in our understanding that local congregations provide the primary arena through which Christian disciples are called, formed, and nurtured, our goal is to double the number of highly vital congregations worldwide by 2020. Five markers of vitality–– disciples in worship, new disciples (professions of faith), disciples in small groups, disciples in mission, and giving to mission––help us gauge our progress together through a shared approach.

The real measure of our missional impact will not be in membership increases or improved giv- ing but in the lives that will be touched and drawn to Christ as disciples because these vital congregations were able to reach people with the gospel of Christ who might otherwise not be reached.

Our Missional Strategies: THE FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS. Vital congregations are shaped by and witnessed through four focus areas: calling and shaping principled Christian leaders; creating and sustaining new places for new people; ministries with poor people and communities; and abun- dant health for all. 1674 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

1. Calling and Shaping Principled Christian Leaders: Our 2020 Vision looks forward to a United Methodist Church creating a culture of call in every faith community, equipping leaders as they help shape disciples’ faith for the transformation of the world.

The United Methodist Church needs leaders––clergy and laity––to fulfill God’s mission for the Church and the world. Nurturing God’s call to Christian leadership is essential and is happening throughout all levels of the connection. Local Churches, annual conferences, and general agencies are directing energy and resources toward this effort, but more can be done. We celebrate the many innova- tive approaches to developing principled Christian leaders, but also see the need to strengthen a culture of call throughout the Church so that every disciple’s leadership potential can be realized. We will align our strategies throughout the connection to address the immediate leadership needs in the next four years and work to create a culture of call Church-wide.

2. Creating and Sustaining New Places for New People: Our 2020 Vision looks forward to a United Methodist Church with 500,000 new disciples who profess their faith through renewed and new faith communities around the world.

Creating new, vital, faith communities is critical to the task of making new disciples and trans- forming the world. A faith community is a group that gathers under the lordship of Jesus Christ to wor- ship, engage, and send. It is within faith communities that we receive new disciples through professions of faith and increase professions of faith. This multilayered strategy focuses on increasing the number of new faith communities in annual conferences across the world.

3. Ministry with Poor People and Communities: Our 2020 Vision looks forward to a United Methodist Church with 400 vibrant, flourishing, and transforming communities addressing issues of poverty and ministry with the poor, particularly with children.

Vital congregations reflect God’s transforming love into their communities and around the world. As faithful disciples, we are called to love our neighbors––to walk, worship, and witness so that all may enjoy God’s vision of abundant life. As United Methodists, we will challenge and transform broken sys- tems and structures that create and perpetuate poverty. Leveraging connections and partnerships within and beyond The United Methodist Church, we can transform communities and open doors for children to a more promising future. We envision the people called Methodists engaging in at least 400 partner- ships that focus on ministry with poor people and communities.

4. Abundant Health for All: Our 2020 Vision looks forward to a United Methodist Church that can reach 2 million children with life-saving interventions.

Every child is a life filled with promise and potential, yet, every five seconds a child dies from preventable causes. The United Methodist Church has a sacred calling to ensure abundant health for all children, engaging disciples to be agents of God’s healing transformation in the world. Jesus said, “I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).

There is a global movement to significantly improve health for all people by 2035, with a spe- cific goal of saving the lives of 15 million children by 2020. The United Methodist Church will join this movement and commit to a goal of reaching 2 million children. It will do this through education, direct health services to those in need, and increased access to medical care. Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1675

2012 General Conference Action The 2012 General Conference approved the following two new initiatives, which are funded through the World Service Fund:

Commission on Central Conference Theological Education. Paragraph 817 provides for a Commission on Central Conference Theological Education, elected by the Council of Bishops, to de- termine policies and procedures for the fund established to further this initiative. It has the authority to approve disbursements from this fund. The Commission includes one person from each central confer- ence, and also includes members of the Council of Bishops and Boards of Ordained Ministry, and repre- sentatives of theological schools, the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (“GBHEM”), the General Board of Global Ministry, and the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters.

Proceeds from this fund are to be used in central conferences at the discretion of the Commission to: (1) develop theological schools; (2) develop courses of study; (3) develop libraries and contextually developed resources; (4) provide scholarships and faculty development; (5) support associations and networks of faculty and schools; and (6) support new and innovative approaches to theological educa- tion. GBHEM administers this designated fund.

Young Clergy Initiative Fund. This Fund provides support to increase the number of young clergy among the jurisdictional conferences. This is a three-quadrennium effort, which began in 2013, to enable The United Methodist Church to focus efforts on encouraging young adults responding to the call to ordained ministry by providing a strong theological education in the United Methodist tradition. This initiative is in addition to the funds that the Church already has budgeted for discernment, recruitment, nurturing, education, and support of young clergy leaders.

The boards and commissions, in collaboration with annual conference boards of ordained ministry, seminaries, bishops, and cabinets will continue to determine the most effective use of the Young Clergy Initiative Fund in response to the needs of young clergy leaders. GBHEM administers this designated fund.

Other Ministries

Contingency Fund. The Contingency Fund for World Service provides funding for emerging needs in the World Service Fund areas that occur during a quadrennium. These funds are allocated to program agencies for new programs to address unanticipated needs. Contingency fund allocations must first be approved by both CT and GCFA. 1676 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

The Funding for this plan in total decreased by .7%, the same proportion as all the other programs and ministries.

Pride The blustering wind of pride in a people’s hearts causes them to jostle against each other and so to split themselves one upon another.

Report No. 2 MINISTERIAL EDUCATION FUND

Background The Ministerial Education Fund was established by action of the 1968 General Conference. Its mission is to engage the membership of the Church in an effort to equip annual conferences, theologi- cal schools, and the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) to meet the need for increased resources for the recruitment and education of persons for ordained ministry. Since 1976, programs related to both diaconal and ordained ministry have been eligible for funding. Since 1996, programs related to recruitment and education of both deacons and elders have received support. Every clergyperson who has served in The United Methodist Church over the past 48 years has been shaped in part by the ministries and institutions supported by the Ministerial Education Fund. Sup- port is provided for the thirteen United Methodist seminaries in the United States and global initiatives through GBHEM, as well as local pastor courses of study, continuing education, and other programs that strengthen the ministry of every local Church. The 25 percent retained by each annual conference directly supports ministerial education in that conference. 1678 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

Recommendations The Ministerial Education Fund was first apportioned in 1970 to the annual conferences as one of the Church’s general funds. During the forty-year period through 2014, more than $758 million has been raised to support this important work. The council recommends that the General Conference ap- prove that the amounts apportioned for the 2017-2020 quadrennium as follows:

Amounts received by the annual conference treasurer for this fund will be distributed as described in The 2012 Book of Discipline, ¶ 816. Promotion and interpretation of the Ministerial Education Fund will be in accordance with ¶ 816, the cost being a charge against that portion of the Ministerial Education Fund administered by GBHEM, and within a budget approved by GBHEM and GCFA.

Report No. 3 The Black College Fund

Background The 1972 General Conference established the Black College Fund as one of the apportioned general Church funds. The objective of the fund is to provide financial support for institutions of higher education that have historically served the educational needs of Black students. This support helps the institutions maintain academic quality and financial stability while limiting individual student tuition costs. More than $285 million has been raised to assist the programs and ministries of these schools since the Fund was established.

Recommendations The General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) recommends:

1. That the 2017-2020 apportionments be set as follows:

Report No. 4 AFRICA UNIVERSITY FUND

Background The 1988 General Conference approved a report of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (“GBHEM”) providing for the establishment of a United Methodist university on the continent of Africa. By the time the 1992 General Conference convened, the site selection process was complete, the Zimbabwe Annual Conference had gifted the university with a large tract of land on which to estab- lish the main campus, and the university had been granted a charter by the government of Zimbabwe. On 23, 1992, the College of Theology and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources opened on a site near Old Mutare to 40 students from six African countries.

Subsequent General Conferences have heard and affirmed reports on the continuing develop- ment of this university for all of Africa. The vitality of the university was evidenced by the creation of additional colleges (now six, plus an Institute of Peace, Leadership and Governance), increases in the number of faculty members and students, and the growth of the physical plant. Current Realities The student body has reached an enrollment level of around 1,500 full-time students from 25 African countries, with an additional 1,000 students studying part-time. All 14 Africa Central Confer- ences, where The United Methodist Church is experiencing rapid growth, are well-represented in the student body. The contributions of the Institute of Peace, Leadership and Governance include medi- ating a conflict within the Church in Burundi (East Africa Conference), and equipping mediators and peace-builders who are bringing greater stability to conflict zones across Africa. This is truly a university for all of Africa, focused on the Church’s priorities and underpinning its mission needs. Africa University’s more than 6,200 alumni have solidified the university’s status as a leadership preparation institution. They are college and seminary presidents, faculty members, district superinten- dents, communicators, hospital and clinic managers, farmers and agricultural extension workers, and leaders in every walk of life. Africa University’s fourth vice chancellor (president) has prioritized fiscal accountability, re- sulting in the eradication of an $800,000 budget deficit incurred in 2013 and moving the university to positive numbers in the 2014 audit. The Africa University Fund supports the ministry’s core needs and amounts to 17 percent of the institution’s $12 million annual budget. Africa University is deeply thankful to the local Churches for their ever faithful and generous contributions, leading to a record number of annual conferences paying Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1681

100 percent or more of their asking in 2014. With 91.5 percent in overall giving in 2014, the Africa Uni- versity Fund continues to be actively supported within the Church. We urge local Churches and annual conferences to continue their faithful giving to the fund. World Service Special Gifts have also been sought since 1988. These gifts have been held and in- vested by the GBHEM and the General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) as permanent endowment funds for the University. As of 2015, contributions and investment earnings have resulted in an endowment fund of $65 million, with the proceeds going primarily to pay for student scholarships. The Africa University Board of Directors, Development Office, GBHEM, and GCFA are work- ing to expand the basic infrastructure of the main campus and increase the permanent endowment fund to $100 million to provide greater support to the institution. To that end, a $50 million Africa University Endowment Campaign is currently in the silent phase. More than $16 million in cash and pledges has already been committed to the campaign. The campaign targets increased income to fund scholarships, academic support, and infrastructure. A recent challenge grant allowed the institution’s primary stakeholders––alumni and local and regional constituents––to invest in the stability of the University. By engaging African donors, Africa University exceeded the challenge amount of $500,000, and generated more than $1 million. A fully- staffed alumni office was established in order to engage alumni, as well as to launch and charter associ- ations in countries where the graduates are located. Recommendations GCFA has deep appreciation and respect for all who have worked diligently and successfully to bring the university to this point in its development: members and staff of GCFA, GBHEM, and the General Board of Global Ministries (“GBGM”); the Africa University Board of Directors; administra- tion, faculty, alumni and students of the university; and all of the persons, Churches, conferences, and other organizations who have supported the University with their time, energy, talent, and gifts. GCFA believes the university will continue to enjoy enthusiastic support. GCFA recommends the following: 1. That the 2017-2020 yearly apportionments be set as follows:

AFRICA UNIVERSITY FUND

% 2009-2012 2013-2016 2017-2020 $ Change Change Fixed Charges Interpretation Resources $ 415,000 $ - $ - $ - 0.0% Total Fixed Charges $ 415,000 $ - $ - $ - 0.0% On-Ratio General Board of Higher Education and Ministry $ 9,685,000 $ 9,433,000 $ 9,368,872 $ (64,128) -0.7% Total On-Ratio $ 9,685,000 $ 9,433,000 $ 9,368,872 $ (64,128) -0.7% Grand Total $ 10,100,000 $ 9,433,000 $ 9,368,872 $ (64,128) -0.7% 1682 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

2. That GBHEM shall be authorized to disburse funds for the development and operation of Africa University and to release such funds to the Africa University Board of Directors or such other structural units as may be created for that purpose, provided that GBHEM shall be accountable for such funds to GCFA under a written agreement developed in consultation with and approved by GCFA and the Africa University Board of Directors, and, provided further, that no such funds shall be released to any structural unit whose charter, bylaws, or other governing documents have not been approved by GBHEM.

3. That permanent endowment funds for the University be held and invested by GCFA, GB- HEM, and other investment managers as identified by GBHEM. Permanent endowment funds in- clude the World Service Gift receipts and any other funds that may be raised by the University and designated by the donor for this purpose. GCFA and GBHEM are authorized to disburse income earned from the permanent endowment funds under the same conditions as set forth above. The pro- visions of this report shall not limit the authority of the Africa University Board of Directors to raise and administer permanent endowment funds and/or funds for the development and operation of the university from sources other than those from which contributions to the Africa University Fund or the World Service Special Gifts fund would normally be sought.

4. That an annual conference may make direct and/or designated gifts for current expense or capital funds purposes to Africa University, but only after it has met its full Africa University Fund apportionment. There may be reasonable exceptions to this restriction, but such exceptions shall be negotiated with GBHEM prior to implementation

5. That adjustments in the provisions of this report, except for the amount of apportionments to the Africa University Fund, may be made by GCFA on the recommendation of GBHEM after consultation with the Council of Bishops.

Report No. 5 THE EPISCOPAL FUND

The General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) has projected a budget for sup- port of the bishops of The United Methodist Church that reflects current economic conditions. While Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1683 healthcare costs are budgeted to rise annually by 6 percent and overall inflation is anticipated to be approximately 2.5 percent per year in the 2017-2020 quadrennium, apportionment funding from the Jurisdictional Conferences is decreasing by .7 percent. Support from the central conferences is being proposed in a formulaic manner in Report No. 8. However, this support is not solely directed to the Epis- copal Fund. Rather, it is also being allocated to the General Administration Fund. The result is a decrease of Episcopal funding globally of 1.6 percent. With costs increasing faster than funding, this projection requires use of $10.9 million of accumulated reserves.

This level of reserve utilization is not sustainable for the long term. We are cognizant of the struggles of our annual conferences and local Churches to meet financial commitments. As a result, GCFA will sponsor a thorough review during the next quadrennium of alternative ways to reduce this operating deficit. Potential areas of study include, but are not limited to, the impacts associated with: apportionment levels for the Episcopal Fund; number of bishops; salary levels for bishops; office and equipment allowances; healthcare costs; and expenses relating to other benefits. Salary, healthcare, and office allowances are the areas with the largest projected cost increase. In total, these costs are expected to increase by $7.1 million (salary – $4.0 million; healthcare – $1.8 million; office allowance – $1.3 million), or 10 percent over the current quadrennium.

In addition to reviewing ways to reduce future expenditure levels, GCFA has taken steps that have already resulted in significant cost savings. For example, in 2014 a move was made to Medi- care Advantage for retiree healthcare. This plan reduced total costs for retired bishop’s healthcare by $400,000 annually ($1.6 million for a quadrennium). GCFA implemented monthly communication with the Council of Bishops regarding the financial status of the Episcopal Fund compared to prior years and budget in detail for all areas of spending. This allows GCFA to work closely with the Council of Bishops to ensure cost overruns are mitigated or eliminated. GCFA implemented Concur, an expense reimburse- ment system, in 2014 to enable better auditing and tracking of travel expense requests to ensure they fall within the travel policies and procedures and to reduce overall costs for episcopal offices by allowing electronic submission of expense requests.

The Episcopal Fund, raised in accordance with ¶ 818.3, will provide for the salary and expenses of active bishops from the date of their consecration and for the support of retired bishops and surviving spouses and minor children of deceased bishops. The average total cost of each active jurisdictional bishop for the upcoming quadrennium is projected to be $1,319,000, while the average cost of a central conference bishop for the upcoming quadrennium is projected to be $930,000. Subject to the approval of GCFA, the treasurer will have authority to borrow for the benefit of the Episcopal Fund such amounts as may be necessary for the proper execution of the orders of the General Conference.

GCFA presents the following recommendations concerning items in the Episcopal Fund for the 2017-2020 quadrennium, to become effective at the adjournment of the 2016 General Conference. The items will be reviewed and set annually by GCFA.

I. Bishops Elected by the Jurisdictional and Central Conferences

A proposed annual spending plan of estimated receipts on apportionment of the Episcopal Fund and expenses for each episcopal office will be submitted to GCFA on forms furnished by it. The proposed spending plan will include funding for salary, housing allowance, and office expense as recommended by the respective episcopal area, jurisdictional or central conference, or its committee on episcopacy. 1684 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

A. Salaries 1. Active Bishops. All salaries are set annually by GCFA. The salary of a bishop newly elected in 2016 or 2017 will begin on the date of his/her consecration at the annual rate established for 2016 or 2017 by GCFA.

a. Jurisdictional Conferences. In 2015, the salary for jurisdictional bishops is $145,655. Any salary adjustments for 2016 through 2020 will be set by GCFA annually. While the current pro- jections are for a 3 percent annual increase, considerations for determining salary adjustments each year will include the percentage adjustment for workers in state and local government as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic, the review of other relevant compensation studies as determined by GCFA, and the overall economic status of the Episcopal Fund and its reserves.

GCFA will notify each newly elected bishop’s current salary-paying unit of the date on which payment of salary from the Episcopal Fund will begin.

b. Central Conferences. The salary of each bishop will be recommended by the respec- tive central conference or its committee on episcopacy as included in the area spending plan. For 2015 the salary for central conference bishops are as follows:

Episopal Area / Region 2015 Salary Africa $ 71,585 Philippines $ 71,585 Central and Southern Europe $ 127,960 Russia $ 64,688 Germany $ 84,108 Nordic and Baltic $ 100,073

Any salary adjustments for 2016 through 2020 will be set by GCFA annually after re- viewing the recommendations. While the current projections are for a 3 percent annual increase, GCFA will determine the salary adjustments each year with consideration to the requests individually and in total. Additional considerations will include the review of cost of living changes in each episcopal area, relevant compensation studies as determined by GCFA, and the overall economic status of the Episcopal Fund and its reserves.

2. Interim Retired Bishop. If a retired bishop is asked to serve in an interim position and as- signed to assume presidential responsibilities as described in ¶ 409.3, the Episcopal Fund will be respon- sible, upon request, for the difference between the remuneration of an active bishop’s current salary in the jurisdictional or central conference area from which the bishop retires, and the pension payment. The annual conference(s) will be responsible for providing housing for the interim retired bishop. If the inter- im retired bishop is living outside of the episcopal area, the cost to commute to and from the episcopal area is the responsibility of the annual conference. The status of a retired bishop on interim assignment shall, for purpose of housing and other benefits, be that of a retired bishop.

3. Special Assignment. a. Retired bishops who accept a special assignment from the Council of Bishops to a United Methodist agency or institution of higher learning following mandatory retirement will receive Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1685 remuneration not to exceed a maximum of 20 percent of an active bishop’s salary in the episcopal area from which the bishop retired. The Episcopal Fund’s share will not exceed 50 percent of the established compensation. The agency or institution of higher learning will assume all responsibility for the bishop’s operational and travel expenses related to the assignment.

b. Retired bishops who accept a special assignment from the Council of Bishops with a direct relationship and accountability to the Council of Bishops following mandatory retirement (for example, as COB Executive Secretary or Ecumenical Officer) will receive remuneration of 20 percent of an active bishop’s current salary in the episcopal area from which the bishop retired.

c. The status of a retired bishop on special assignment will, for purpose of housing and other benefits, be that of a retired bishop.

d. Compensation for any special assignment will cease after the bishop completes the as- signment or has reached the mandatory age of retirement for ordained ministers governing the episcopal area from which the bishop retired, whichever comes first.

4. Salary Payment. Due to the variation in time of election, consecration, and assignment, there may be up to seven weeks of salary and benefits provided from the Episcopal Fund prior to the date of assignment for any newly elected bishop.

B. Episcopal Residence/Housing. The annual conference or conferences constituting the episcopal area to which the bishop is assigned will be responsible for providing an episcopal residence or housing allowance for the bishop.

1. Housing allowance (Jurisdictional Conferences). a. The Episcopal Fund will provide a grant of $10,000 annually to the annual conference to assist in the cost of providing an episcopal residence or allowance.

2. Episcopal Housing Funds (Central Conferences). The Episcopal Fund will provide a grant annually to the annual conference to assist in the cost of providing an episcopal residence or allowance. The amount for each episcopal area will be set annually by GCFA.

3. Guidelines will be developed by the respective jurisdictional or central conference committees on episcopacy for transition in episcopal residences.

4. If a bishop dies while in active service and the episcopal residence is provided by the annual conference, the surviving spouse may continue to occupy the episcopal residence for up to 120 days following the date of death of the bishop.

C. Office Expense

1. Each active bishop will receive an annual grant as set each year by GCFA to be applied to- wards the operation of the episcopal office, including telephone, fax, and Internet service. Such grant will be paid quarterly to jurisdictional bishops and monthly to bishops in central conferences.

1686 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

2. The Episcopal Fund will reimburse purchases of office equipment and furnishings at the dis- cretion of each bishop in an amount not to exceed $10,000 in any one quadrennium for any one epis- copal area. All purchases remain the property of the episcopal office with the exception of electronic equipment such as computer, cell phone, and iPad/Kindle/Nook in the bishop’s office. Each bishop must comply with and sign the electronic equipment protocol and transfer of files agreement developed by the Council of Bishops stating his/her intent to take or leave electronic equipment. If the bishop takes the electronic equipment, he/she will reimburse the episcopal office the current value of the electronic equipment.

3. Maintenance of office equipment will be an office spending plan item paid from the office allowance.

4. Capital expenditures are not reimbursable from the Episcopal Fund.

D. Audits 1. Jurisdictional Conferences. A full audit of episcopal office and housing funds will be con- ducted based on generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). Financial statements accompanying the audit will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A full audit will be conducted annually for each calendar year, and a written report will be provided to GCFA by July 31 of the following year.

When the episcopal office and housing funds are administered through the annual conference treasury, a separate audit is not required if the conference audit includes separate schedules for episcopal office and housing funds. GCFA strongly encourages the appropriate segregation of duties in the han- dling of episcopal funds.

2. Central Conferences. A full audit of episcopal office and housing funds will be conducted based on approved International Standards on Auditing. Financial statements accompanying the audit will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. A full audit will be conducted annually for each calendar year, and a written report shall be provided to GCFA by July 31 of the following year.

An audit conducted by the staff auditors of the General Board of Global Ministries (“GBGM”) will be an acceptable alternative to a separate audit by a chartered public accountant.

3. A status report on audits will be made by GCFA’s Committee on Audit and Review Committee to GCFA’s Committee on General Agency and Episcopal Matters and to the full GCFA Board. If the audit is not received on time, GCFA’s Committee on General Agency and Episcopal Matters will have the right to suspend office and housing allowance funding to the episcopal area.

4. The cost of the annual audit will be an office spending plan item paid from the office allowance.

E. Moving Expense 1. Absent prior approval by GCFA, the Episcopal Fund will be responsible for paying for only one move of a bishop during 2017-2020. In order for a move to be paid by the Episcopal Fund, it must (a) be made within the first 12 months of an assignment/reassignment of an active bishop or (b) within three years Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1687 of retirement for a move by a retired bishop. Only moves within the continent of the bishop’s episcopal service will be paid for by the Episcopal Fund.

2. The Episcopal Fund will pay for the relocation of a surviving spouse of an active bishop, with- in the continent of the bishop’s episcopal service, if the move occurs within 120 days of the death of the active bishop.

3. Pre-approved moving storage expense is reimbursable for a 30-day period.

4. If a bishop, upon retirement, accepts an assignment of Church-wide responsibility with direct relationship and accountability to the Council of Bishops (¶ 408.1d(1)), and if the assignment is such as to require residence at a specific location, the Episcopal Fund will be responsible for the payment of moving expenses to that location. In such case, a bishop remains eligible for payment of moving expens- es by the Episcopal Fund to a retirement residence within the continent of the bishop’s episcopal service if that move occurs within three years of the time the assignment of Church-wide responsibility with direct relationship and accountability to the Council of Bishops ends.

5. If a bishop, upon retirement, accepts an assignment of Church-wide responsibility with a gen- eral agency or United Methodist Church-related institution of higher education (¶ 408.1d(2)), moving expenses related to such an assignment are the responsibility of the agency or institution, unless the loca- tion of the assignment is also the bishop’s permanent retirement residence, in which case the Episcopal Fund will be responsible for the cost and this shall be considered the one covered moving expense. If the moving expenses to such an assignment are paid by the agency or institution, the bishop will remain eligible for payment of moving expenses from the Episcopal Fund to a permanent retirement residence within the continent of the bishop’s episcopal service if that move occurs within three years of the time the assignment ends.

6. Jurisdictional Conferences moving company. GCFA contracts with a national moving compa- ny for the relocation of household goods for bishops. If the bishop chooses not to use the moving com- pany contracted by GCFA, three estimates are required from moving companies of the bishop’s choice. Following approval, an otherwise qualifying move will be reimbursed upon receipt of the invoice.

7. Central Conferences moving company. Three estimates are required from moving companies of the bishop’s choice. Following approval, the move will be reimbursed upon receipt of the invoice.

F. Pension 1. Jurisdictional bishops. For service years beginning before January 1, 1982, pensions for the support of bishops elected by jurisdictional conferences and those of their surviving spouses will include the benefits provided by the Global Episcopal Pension Program.

For service years beginning January 1, 1982, and thereafter, pensions for the support of bishops elected by jurisdictional conferences and those of their surviving spouses and dependent children will include the benefits provided by the Ministerial Pension Plan, amended and restated effective January 1, 2007, as the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), and the Comprehensive Protection Plan of the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. 1688 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

2. Central Conference bishops. Pensions for the support of bishops elected by central confer- ences and those of their surviving spouses shall include the benefits provided by the Global Episcopal Pension Program.

G. Other Benefits 1. All bishops are eligible to be covered under a group health plan. GCFA will be reviewing the bishops’ healthcare plan to ensure that the plan is both providing adequate coverage and is cost effective. Bishops are covered for health benefits from the date of consecration as a bishop. All bishops will have the opportunity to participate in a cost-sharing plan for health insurance.

2. In the central conferences, if the participant is in a national mandatory health plan and there is an employer share, the Episcopal Fund will pay up to the amount paid for other bishops.

3. Retirees will have the opportunity to participate in a cost-sharing plan for supplemental health insurance coverage, as well as the cost-sharing dental and vision plans. Cost sharing will be as deter- mined annually by GCFA.

4. Other insurance coverage and cost sharing for same will be as determined annually by GCFA.

5. The surviving spouse or one family member of a deceased bishop, invited by the Council of Bishops, will be entitled to the payment of expenses to attend the bishop’s memorial service held at the Council of Bishops’ meeting.

6. One family member of a deceased surviving spouse of a bishop, invited by the Council of Bishops, will be entitled to the payment of expenses to attend the surviving spouse’s memorial service held at the Council of Bishops’ meeting.

7. Bishops will be entitled to reimbursement to attend the funeral of a bishop or bishop’s spouse within their respective college. Bishops designated as representatives of the Council of Bishops or other colleges, or those participating in the leadership at the funeral, will be entitled to reimbursement from the Episcopal Fund.

H. Renewal Leave, Continuing Education, and Sabbatical Leave 1. Renewal Leave. Paragraph 410.2 provides that every bishop in the active relationship shall take up to three months’ leave from the normal responsibilities of the episcopacy for purposes of reflec- tion, study, and self-renewal during each quadrennium.

a. A bishop’s renewal leave request will first be approved by the college of bishops and reported to the Council of Bishops. The secretary of the Council of Bishops will certify to GCFA the approved list of bishops to be on renewal leave.

b. During the period of a renewal leave, the following financial arrangements will be in effect:

(1) Cash salary will continue, subject to the provisions of (6), below. (2) Reimbursement will be made, subject to the provisions of (6), below, within Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1689

the usual guidelines for episcopal expense from the Episcopal Fund, supported by necessary documentation, will be: i. Transportation to and from the site of renewal leave by the most direct route and the most economical coach air fare; mileage to and from the site of renewal leave reimbursed under established policies for mileage reimbursement. ii. Expenses up to $2,000 for the quadrennium for actual expenses of tui- tion and housing. (3) Expenses incurred in providing temporary episcopal supervision by a bishop from a nearby episcopal area necessitated by the absence of a bishop on renewal leave shall be reimbursed. (4) Meals during renewal leave are not reimbursable. (5) Reimbursable episcopal travel expenses will not be paid during renewal leave unless authorized by the Council of Bishops. (6) Compensation or honoraria received for any activity during renewal leave will be deducted from b. (1) or (2) above.

2. Continuing Education. The Episcopal Fund will reimburse up to $2,500 of the cost of a class, seminar, workshop, or other continuing educational experiences annually. The continuing education fund request, established by the Council of Bishops, must be completed and submitted to GCFA’s Epis- copal Services Manager no less than 30 days prior to the event to be considered.

3. Sabbatical Leave. As provided in ¶ 410.3, a bishop may be provided sabbatical leave. No travel expenses will be provided during that time.

I. Travel Expense The Episcopal Fund will pay the travel expenses of all members of the Council of Bishops in accordance with the Episcopal Fund Travel Expense Guidelines and Policies then in effect. These travel expense policies are in accordance with the General Agency Expense and Reimbursement Policies for all general funds of The United Methodist Church as approved by GCFA.

J. Emergency Fund (Central Conferences) When the safety of a bishop is threatened, evacuation expenses of the bishop, spouse, and mi- nor children of the bishop may be reimbursed. The Episcopal Fund has limited resources to provide assistance for the replacement or repair of episcopal residences and offices destroyed or damaged by conditions of war or civil unrest in the central conferences. In consultation with staff of GBGM and the officers of the Executive Committee of the Council of Bishops, priorities will be determined to respond to needs when conditions of peace have been restored.

When GCFA has been notified that a bishop in a central conference is being evacuated due to unsafe conditions in the episcopal area, payment of housing and office allowance amounts will normally be suspended. Evacuation costs for the bishop and immediate family will be paid from the Bishops in Exile account of the Episcopal Fund upon authorization of the Council of Bishops and GCFA’s General Secretary. Costs for temporary housing and/or office expenses for the interim shall be provided in the same amount until peace is restored to the area. When the bishop returns to the episcopal residence and office, payments of established amounts for housing and office support will resume. 1690 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

II. MISCELLANEOUS OTHER MATTERS

A. Office of the Executive Secretary of the Council of Bishops The Council of Bishops will submit an annual spending plan to GCFA providing for the expenses related to the position of the Executive Secretary and the office located in Washington, D.C. The admin- istrative assistance and other expenses incurred by the Executive Secretary of the Council of Bishops in the performance of the duties of this office will also be included in the spending plan. The spending plan will be subject to the approval of GCFA.

B. Ecumenical Officer of the Council of Bishops The Council of Bishops will submit an annual spending plan to GCFA to provide for expenses incurred, including but not limited to travel, by the Ecumenical Officer of the Council of Bishops in the performance of the duties of this office. The spending plan is subject to the approval of GCFA.

C. Office of Christian Unity and Interreligious Relations (“OCUIR”) The Council of Bishops will submit an annual spending plan to GCFA providing for the expenses of OCUIR. The spending plan is subject to the approval of GCFA.

III. FUNDING

A. Changes During Quadrennium If, in the judgment of GCFA, economic conditions require increasing or decreasing the amounts authorized in this report, GCFA is authorized to make such adjustments.

B. Apportionment for the Episcopal Fund Both the Jurisdictional and Central Conferences will be apportioned based upon the formulas recommended by GCFA in Report No. 8. GCFA recommends the apportionment for the Episcopal Fund during the 2017-2020 quadrennium be:

Self-Love There is this wickedness in self-love, that even those things that people acknowledge to be right and good in general, will put people into opposition.

(1) Prior to 2017-2020 Payment to CC Episcopal areas was withheld by these amounts. The minimum amount withheld was 10% of Housing, Office & Salary expenses. While these were technically not apportionments, the payment withholding was in lieu of apportionments and are presented here to fairly represent actual funding changes.

(2) Subsequent to the 2012 General Conference, the General Council on Finance and Administation approved a change in fixed charges for 2013-2026 to $750,000 per year to better reflect the cost of support to the Episcopal Fund. The 2017-2020 apportionment represents a .7% increase from the current situation.

Report No. 6 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION FUND

The General Administration Fund (2012 Book of Discipline, ¶ 813) finances general Church activities that are specifically administrative in nature, as contrasted with programmatic, missional, or ecumenical in scope and purpose. 1692 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

In the 2017-2020 quadrennium, the required apportionments for these General Administration Fund activities will increase by approximately 1.3 percent from the 2013-2016 quadrennium.

Discussion of Specific Budget Items

General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) (¶ 805.6). GCFA reports to and is amena- ble to the General Conference and is responsible for receiving and distributing general Church funds. In addition, GCFA provides certain administrative services to the general agencies, including general ledger processing and maintenance, cash management, and group insurance plan administration. A more detailed description of GCFA’s activities is found in Report #14.

General Conference (¶¶ 501-511). The apportionments for General Conference fund delegate expenses, meeting operation costs (convention center and equipment rental, publishing, petition tracking software, worship, labor), language services (printed translation of advance materials and spoken interpretation on site), expenses of the offices of the secretary, business manager, and treasurer of the General Conference, and expenses of the several commissions and committees in support of the event.

The changing global nature of the Church is due in part to the rapidly growing membership in central conferences. The percentage of delegates from central conferences has increased significantly since the start of this millennium. Central Conference growth was 16 percent in 2004 and will be 42 per- cent in 2016. This change in representation has resulted in significant increases to two of the four major General Conference cost drivers:

1. The cost of language services (written translation & interpretation at General Conference) has in- creased from $380,000 in 2000 to an estimated $1.7 million in 2020. 2. In 2012, the average travel costs for delegates from within the United States was approximately $493 for each delegate, while the average travel cost for delegates from central conferences was approxi- mately $3,000 each. As representation from central conferences grows, so likewise does the total cost of travel for delegates.

The Commission on the General Conference launched a sponsorship program for the 2012 Gen- eral Conference with the intent of creating an income stream that may permit the repayment of some of the accumulated deficit. This program will continue for the 2016 General Conference. Sponsorship gross income provided in 2012 was approximately $210,000, while the projected gross income for 2016 is $600,000.

General Commission on Archives and History (“GCAH”) (¶¶ 1701-1712). The purpose of GCAH is to promote and preserve the historical interests of The United Methodist Church and its antecedents. GCAH accomplishes this uniquely administrative and programmatic mission by gathering, preserving, holding title to, and disseminating materials representing the ethos of the denomination.

GCAH’s “Ministry of Memory” serves these functions for all levels of the connection. In addition, it serves United Methodist seminary students and professors worldwide in basic preparatory and more highly academic Wesleyan-Methodist studies. It also plays a key role in the continuing development of the African American Methodist Heritage Center and The Latino Oral History Project. It also anticipates increased support for Central Conference historians and leaders, many beginning basic archival collec- tions of their own. Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1693

GCAH also manages a Historic Sites and Heritage Landmarks (¶ 1712) program supervising more than 500 denominational historic sites and nearly 50 heritage landmarks across the global connection.

The Judicial Council (¶¶ 2601-2612). The Judicial Council is the highest judicial body in The United Methodist Church. It determines the legality and/or constitutionality of actions by agencies, boards, conferences, and officials of the Church. Paragraph 813.3 provides that the expenses of the Judicial Council will be paid from the General Administration Fund, within a budget submitted annually to GCFA for its approval.

Pension and Salary Aid. Funding for salary and pension assistance programs is included in this item. In the 2013-2016 quadrenium, funding for salary aid to the Rio Grande Annual Conference was included. In this quadrennium that funding was not specifically identified due to the merger with the Southwest Texas Annual Conference. The funding that was utilized for Rio Grande salary aid was moved to Con- tingency Funds for the 2017-2020 quadrennium. The priority for the funds previously attributed to Rio Grande will be to assist missionary conferences.

The proposed budget for 2017-2020 for these purposes is:

2009-2012 2013-2016 2017-2020 $ Change % Change Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference 2,844,000 Pesnion Aid 138,000 137,062 (938) -0.7% Salary Aid 1,556,000 1,545,422 (10,578) -0.7% Rio Grande Annual Conference Salary Aid 2,844,000 805,000 - (805,000) -100.0% Total $ 2,499,000 $ 1,682,484 $ (816,516) -32.7%

Contingency Reserve. This allocation provides funding for unforeseen or emergency situations that fall within the scope of general administration. This reserve has been increased by the amount pre- viously used for the Rio Grande Annual Conference salary aid as well as any receipts to the General Administration Fund from central conference apportionments. Priority of the funds previously used for Rio Grande salary aid will be given to missionary aid. The new funds coming from Central Conference apportionments will give priority to the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters in its work to develop the Global Book of Discipline for presentation to the 2020 General Conference, including a third meeting during the quadrennium, the new membership composition of the Standing Committee, and the implementation of the comprehensive plan for Africa. 1694 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

Report No. 7 INTERDENOMINATIONAL COOPERATION FUND

“As part of the church universal, The United Methodist Church believes that the Lord of the church is calling Christians everywhere to strive toward unity; and there- fore it will seek, and work for, unity at all levels of church life: through world relationships with other Methodist churches . . . through councils of churches and through plans of union and covenantal relationships with churches of Methodist or other denominational traditions” (2012 Book of Discipline, ¶ 6).

The Interdenominational Cooperation Fund allows The United Methodist Church to partner with Christian sisters and brothers throughout the world to fulfill a shared ecumenical mission. Our relation- ships with ecumenical partners enable us to witness together while respecting our unique traditions and distinctions and to engage in ministries that foster justice, mercy, and peace in God’s world.

In partnership with other Christian communions, the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund pro- vides operating and associated support for organizations that relate to the ecumenical responsibility of the Council of Bishops. The General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) recommends the annual budgeted amounts to the General Conference from recommendations developed in consulta- tion with the Council of Bishops (¶ 814.2).

GCFA, working collaboratively with the Connectional Table (“CT”), determined that the fund- ing for the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund should remain in the same proportion of total ju- risdictional apportionments as approved for the 2013-2016 quadrennium. Therefore the quadrennial 1696 Tuesday, May 10, 2016 recommendation for 2017-2020 reflects a .7 percent decrease in funding when compared to the 2013- 2016 quadrennium.

Explanation of Items in the Budget

General Council on Finance and Administration. GCFA reports to and is amenable to the General Conference and is responsible for receiving and distributing general Church funds. A portion of the Council’s expenses is charged to the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund as provided in ¶ 805.6a and Report No. 14.

National Councils of Churches/Regional Ecumenical Organizations. This line includes funds to sup- port the work of councils or organizations whose membership is limited to a specific country or geo- graphic region. Among the specific organizations currently receiving support is the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. This council comprises 37 member denominations and communions in the United States, representing 45 million Christians and more than 100,000 local congregations.

World Council of Churches/International Ecumenical Organizations. This category includes funds to support the work of councils or organizations whose membership is not limited to a specific country or geographic region. The Interdenominational Cooperation Fund supports the World Council of Churches, founded in 1948. The council includes 345 member communions throughout the world, representing more than 500 million Christians. Funds in this category provide for United Methodist participation in the work and life of the World Council of Churches, with a focus on justice and peace. Funds are also provided for the United Methodist commitment for costs of the World Council of Churches Assembly, including travel and related expenses for Christians from developing nations. The World Council of Churches Assembly meets every 6-8 years, with the last meeting held in South Korea in 2013.

Christian World Communions/Methodist Unity. This category includes funds to support the work of ec- umenical organizations whose members trace their origins to religious traditions started by John Wesley. One such conciliar partner, dedicated to nurturing unity in the Methodist family, is the World Methodist Council. Established in 1881, the World Methodist Council is a worldwide association of 80 Methodist, Wesleyan, and related Uniting and United Churches, representing more than 80.5 million people in 133 countries. The Interdenominational Cooperation Fund allocation provides for United Methodist partici- pation in the work and life of the Council.

Pan-Methodist Commission. This allocation of funding relates to ongoing ministry on matters of mutu- al interest between representatives of The United Methodist Church, The African Methodist Episcopal Church, The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, The African Union Methodist Protestant Church, The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, and The Union American Methodist Episcopal Church. The commission is currently engaged in fulfilling the vision of full communion among its member churches.

Ecumenical/Multilateral Conversations. This line item provides funding for ongoing and proposed meetings with representatives of other denominations for dialogue, including with the Episcopal Church and the Moravian Church (Northern and Southern Provinces).

Ecumenical Representative Travel. To ensure a United Methodist voice and presence in worldwide deliberations and meetings of funded ecumenical bodies, travel expenses for United Methodist repre- sentatives named by the Council of Bishops are paid from the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1697

(¶ 814.4). Costs and expenses are paid in accordance with guidelines adopted by GCFA, with appropri- ate and approved limitations. Covered meetings include those of: the governing board, convening tables, and other units of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; the central and executive committees of the World Council of Churches, including other structural units and periodic assembly; the executive committee members and at-large delegates of the World Methodist Council; and Churches Uniting in Christ, Christian Churches Together and the Pan-Methodist Commission.; United Methodist participation in concordat relationships and other ecumenical activities of recognized bodies are also covered expenses.

Interreligious Relations. This budget line provides resources for United Methodists to engage more directly with neighbors of other faith communities. The funds will be used to provide information, ma- terials, and support for dialogues locally and regionally, and to support ecumenical programs involving interfaith partners, such as Religions for Peace, USA.

Contingency Reserve. This allocation for the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund provides for un- foreseen or emerging issues that fall within the scope of the fund. It is distributed by GCFA in concur- rence with recommendations received from the Council of Bishops.

Report No. 8 APPORTIONMENT FORMULAS

The 2012 Book of Discipline provides that the General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) will recommend the formulas by which all apportionments to the annual conferences shall be determined, subject to the approval of the General Conference (¶ 806.1c). This report is therefore concerned with how the provisions of the reports dealing with apportioned financial support for the following funds: World Service, Ministerial Education, Black College, Africa University, Episcopal, Interdenominational Cooperation, and General Administration.

Recommendations: 1. GCFA recommends adoption of the following Jurisdictional Conference apportionment formula:

The recommended formula is:

A = E * (P + i) Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1699

Where: A represents an annual conference’s general Church apportionment E represents the annual conference’s “Net Expenditures” P represents the “Base Percentage” i represents the annual conference’s “Percentage Adjustment” for economic factors

a. “Net Expenditures” (E) consists of the total local Church expenditures in the annual con- ference, less, (1) current capital expenditures, (2) expenditures on capital debt service, (3) payments toward general Church apportionments, and (4) all other benevolence giving. The net expenditures will be calculated with the most recent year for which complete data is available. All the components are currently reported through local Church statistical reports. The actual and estimated net expenditures for the 2017-2020 quadrennium are:

Year of Net Year of Data Apportionment Expenditures 2014 2017 $ 4,607,965,184 (Actual) 2015 2018 $ 4,526,699,828 (Estimated) 2016 2019 $ 4,599,054,515 (Estimated) 2017 2020 $ 4,606,884,055 (Estimated)

b. “Base Percentage” (P) consists of a simple percentage set by the General Conference on recommendation of GCFA. When applied to the “Net Expenditures” for all conferences, it will yield the total to be apportioned for all general Church funds. After determining the amount it recommends to the General Conference as the annual total of all apportioned general funds, GCFA recommends the “Base Percentage” for each year of the quadrennium as follows: Projected Year Apportionments Base Percentage 2017 $ 149,750,000 3.2498075% 2018 $ 149,750,000 3.3081496% 2019 $ 149,750,000 3.2561040% 2020 $ 149,750,000 3.2505702%

c. “Percentage Adjustment” (i) is unique to each annual conference. The exact value of the “Percentage Adjustment” for an annual conference will vary during the quadrennium as new economic and statistical reports become available. It consists of the following two factors, which are combined to determine the net “Percentage Adjustment” up or down from the “Base Percentage:”

i. Economic Strength Factor is measured on the basis of per capita income for the counties that comprise the conference’s geographic area. Publicly available data from the United States Department of Commerce is used. In calculating the average per capita income for an annual confer- ence, county-level per capita income will be weighted by the average worship attendance in The United Methodist Churches in that county as reported in the Local Church Report to the Annual Conference. Each annual conference’s average per capita income is expressed as a ratio of the United States average. A proportional factor or “slope” is set that limits the size of the adjustment from the first factor to a ± 0.4 percent. 1700 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

ii. Local Church Costs Factor, which measures the impact of certain local Church costs that are at least partly outside of its control, is calculated by adding: (1) local Church clergy expenses; (2) local Church current operating expenses; and (3) payments toward budgeted annual conference costs (excluding general Church apportionments). The total of these three cost areas is divided by average attendance at morning worship services to arrive at a cost per attendee. This total cost per attendee is expressed as an index by dividing by the average among all annual conferences. A proportional factor or “slope” is set that limits the size of the adjustment for this factor to a ± 0.5 percent. All figures used in the calculation of this factor are derived from the Local Church Report to the Annual Conference.

2. For the past two quadrenniums, contributions to the Episcopal Fund from annual conferences in central conferences have reduced Episcopal Fund distributions for Bishops compensation, housing and office allowances. The central conference contributions are shown below:

Episcopal Year Fund 2009 $ 904,453 (Actual) 2010 $ 902,520 (Actual) 2011 $ 986,568 (Actual) 2012 $ 968,028 (Actual) 2013 $ 923,653 (Actual) 2014 $ 955,826 (Actual) 2015 $ 975,000 (Estimated) 2016 $ 975,000 (Estimated)

Since the 2012 General Conference, GCFA has worked with the Standing Committee on Central Con- ference Matters to establish an equitable approach and formula for Central Conference apportionments.

GCFA recommends that the apportionment formula for 2017-2020 apply to both the Episcopal Fund and the General Administration Fund, since both of these funds directly support the central conferences.

GCFA recommends adoption of the following Central Conference apportionment formula for the Epis- copal and General Administration Funds:

The recommended formula is:

A = (J * M) * i

Where: A represents a central conference annual conference’s General Church Apportionment J represents the Jurisdictional Apportionments per Professing Member for each of the Epis- copal and General Administration Funds M represents the number of Professing Members in the Central Conference Annual Confer- ence i represents the central conference’s “Economic Adjustment Factor” Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1701

a. “Jurisdictional apportionments per professing member” (J) This factor will be calculated each year based upon the actual apportionments for that year divided by the number of professing mem- bers three years prior. For example, 2017 apportionments per professing member would use the actual apportionments for 2017 and the professing members at the end of 2014. The current estimate for this factor in 2017-2020 is shown below:

General Episcopal Administration Fund Fund Total

$3.00 $1.24 $4.24

b. “Professing Members” (M) consists of the professing members of each annual conference within the central conferences as reported in the annual statistics sent to GCFA. These statistics should also agree with the data published in the annual conference journals. Membership was chosen as a basis for the apportionment formula because the availability and reliability of the data was better than revenue or expenditure based options. The membership used in this calculation will be the membership of the annual conference three years prior to the apportionment year. This is consistent with the membership used in the calculation of “J” above.

c. “Economic Adjustment Factor” (i) is unique to each annual conference within the cen- tral conferences. The exact value of the “Economic Adjustment” for a conference will vary during the quadrennium as new economic and statistical reports become available. The factor to be used for the economic adjustment in the annual conferences is each country’s or annual conference’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita in relation to the U.S., expressed as a percentage. The source used for this data for the current quadrennium will be a credible source as chosen by GCFA, and the most recent data point available at the time of apportionment calculations will be used. In calculating the average GDP for annual conferences in multiple countries, the country GDP data will be weighted by the number of professing members as reported in each country.

Based upon the recommended formula and the assumptions outlined above, the projected apportion- ments for the 2017-2020 quadrennium are:

General Administration Total Year Episcopal Fund Fund Apportionments 2017 $ 722,929 $ 298,782 $ 1,021,711 2018 $ 722,929 $ 298,782 $ 1,021,711 2019 $ 722,929 $ 298,782 $ 1,021,711 2020 $ 722,929 $ 298,782 $ 1,021,711 Total $ 2,891,716 $ 1,195,128 $ 4,086,844

3. Using this formula, GCFA will first calculate the total amount to be apportioned to each annual conference for the applicable apportioned general funds. The apportionment for each fund will then be 1702 Tuesday, May 10, 2016 calculated in direct proportion to that fund’s approved amount. Each annual conference will therefore continue to receive from GCFA an annual statement showing its apportionments for each applicable general fund. Each annual conference will continue to have the authority to apportion those amounts to its charges or Churches by whatever formula or method it determines (¶ 613.3).

4. If an annual conference decides to combine general Church apportionments with each other or with conference apportioned funds for apportioning to local Churches, the receipts on such combined funds will be allocated in direct proportion to the budgeted amounts for each fund or cause included in the combined fund budget, and amounts so allocated to general Church funds will be remitted to GCFA on a monthly basis.

5. If more than 100 percent of the amount voted by General Conference for jurisdictional apportion- ments for a general fund is received in any given year, the excess funds will be held in trust by GCFA in an apportionment stabilization fund. All monies placed in such a fund will be considered as fund balanc- es restricted by the General Conference to the fund or line item in which the surplus occurred. They will be held by GCFA until such time as shortfalls in such receipts occur during the same quadrennium, at which time they may be distributed to compensate for the shortfalls. If undistributed funds remain at the end of the quadrennium, due to excess receipts beyond the amounts needed to compensate for shortfalls, GCFA will recommend for action by the next General Conference how any remaining fund balances should be distributed, provided that those recommendations will be consistent with the purposes for which the funds were raised.

6. In adopting this report, the General Conference authorizes GCFA to make such changes in the lan- guage and definitions of this report as other General Conference actions or changed circumstances may require, while preserving as much as possible the substance and content of this report.

7. Additional information concerning local Church expenditures and economic growth will be collected between the time of this publication and the meeting of the 2016 General Conference. The projected total apportioned funds presented herein represent only a current recommendation to General Confer- ence, and the final total apportioned funds are subject to being determined by General Conference. This additional information and possible changes adopted by General Conference could alter both the pro- jections of net expenditures and the total apportioned funds used to calculate the base percentage for the 2017-2020 quadrennium.

Report No. 11 DIRECTIVES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE GENERAL FUNDS

1. Fixed Charges. Fixed charges in any of the general funds will be paid as expended within the limits of the approved budgets. However, the General Council on Finance and Administration (“GCFA”) is authorized to adjust the fixed charges amounts in general fund budgets as emergencies, changing condi- tions, or the responsibilities placed upon the general agencies by the General Conference may require.

2. On-Ratio Allocations. All allocations from the general funds of The United Methodist Church shall be paid on ratio of net receipts after payment of fixed charges.

3. Validity of Claims. GCFA will be authorized to determine the validity of claims in all matters Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1703 involving the World Service Fund, the Episcopal Fund, the General Administration Fund, the Black College Fund, the Ministerial Education Fund, the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund, the Africa University Fund, World Service Special gifts, the Advance, the Special Sundays offerings, or any other general fund, where these are not specifically set forth or determined by the General Conference.

4. Conformity with Other General Conference Actions. GCFA is granted authority to make such ed- itorial changes in its reports as may be needed to bring them into conformity with the approved general fund budget amounts and totals, and any other applicable actions of the 2016 General Conference.

5. GCFA Expenses. General fund allocations to GCFA fall into two categories, as provided in ¶ 805.6 of The 2012 Book of Discipline: (1) an on-ratio line item in the General Administration Fund budget; and (2) fixed charges in certain other funds for which GCFA incurs significant administrative costs, propor- tionate to their estimated receipts. The budget of GCFA is presented in its Report No. 14.

6. Travel Expense and Meeting Policy for Special Committees Funded by the General Funds. Any special committee, study group, special commission, or any other special group created by the General Conference and funded by the general funds of The United Methodist Church will be subject to the travel and expense reporting and reimbursement requirements established by GCFA. If the special com- mittee, study group, special commission, or other special group is not directly responsible to a general agency, it will make all meeting and travel arrangements through GCFA.

7. Application of Apportionment Formula. As the apportionment formula is applied during the qua- drennium to actual events, the outcome of the calculation may result in a different amount being ap- portioned than those amounts contained in the published reports. When each annual apportionment is determined, GCFA will calculate the total amount to be apportioned for each of the general funds and to each fund line item, including fixed charges, in direct proportion to the amounts approved in its Reports numbered 1 through 7.

8. Consultants. As part of its oversight function, GCFA will prepare and make available an annual list- ing of all consulting contracts entered into by agencies and organizations amenable to the Connectional Table. This shall also include the Council of Bishops. This listing will be prepared by March 1 of each year and will include contracts in place during the preceding calendar year. The list will include the name of the individual or corporate entity, address, length and purpose of the contract, and the amount of money paid for the contractor.

9. General Agency Audits. All treasuries receiving general Church funds are required to have an annual audit as provided in ¶ 806.5.

10. Internal Audit Functions. GCFA has the responsibility to establish and conduct the internal audit- ing functions for all agencies receiving general Church funds. (¶ 806.6) All agencies receiving general Church funds are required to comply with fiscal accountability policies and practices established by GCFA. The Committee on Audit and Review will monitor compliance with such policies and practices. If the committee determines there are any violations it shall proceed in a manner as outlined in ¶ 806.13 and within established policies of the committee at that time.

11. General Agency Budget Review. As outlined in ¶¶ 806.3, 806.4, 806.7, 806.11, and 806.12, GCFA will review the proposed spending plan and the financial operations for each agency receiving general 1704 Tuesday, May 10, 2016

Church funds. If GCFA determines that an agency is not in compliance with the provisions of these paragraphs, it will proceed within its established policies at that time.

12. Approving Emerging Ministry Opportunities Between Sessions of General Conference. In the interim between quadrennial sessions of the General Conference, potential programs and initiatives of Church-wide consequence may arise in response to unforeseen opportunities for mission and ministry. When these opportunities involve the expenditure of general Church funds, the proposed programs or initiatives shall require the joint approval of GCFA, the Council of Bishops, and CT. When timeliness of action warrants, the executive committees or equivalent of these bodies may act in such matters for the body itself, but only by a three-fourths vote. Such programs and initiatives shall be governed by estab- lished policies of the General Conference. A report on any such programs and initiatives will be made by CT to the General Conference at its next quadrennial meeting.

13. General Commission on Communication. The General Commission on Communication (“UM- Com”) serves as the central agency for promoting general Church funds throughout the Church, as provided in ¶ 1806.12.

Promotion is aimed at individual United Methodists and seeks to foster an understanding of how giving of one’s financial resources is an integral part of the Christian life. The focus is on shared minis- tries that change lives. Print, video, and computer-delivered resources help United Methodists see their mission outreach, understand how their diverse ministries make a difference in human lives, and learn how the local Church benefits from shared outreach.

Interpretation is aimed at the leadership of annual conferences, districts, and local congrega- tions. It provides specific information about Church funds and encourages leaders to be faithful in remit- ting funds to conference and general Church benevolent causes. UMCom provides resources in a variety of media to be used by conference leadership, pastors, and local Church leadership, and staff of other general agencies.

The cost of promotional resources related to a particular fund or group of funds is covered by a fixed-charge line item in the budget of the respective funds. UMCom, following consultation with the general agency responsible for administering the fund, recommends the annual budget of fixed-charge amounts, subject to approval by GCFA. For 2017-2020, the fixed charges line items total $3,077,197, which is a .3 percent decrease compared to the 2013-2016 quadrennium. In 2017-2020, as in the past, one resource item may interpret or promote several funds. UMCOM will be promoting all of the general apportioned funds using the monies provided by the fixed charges for the World Service Fund, as well as with other monies from its share of the World Service Fund. In such cases, UMCom is authorized to allocate costs for such items among the funds included in particular resources.

No promotional funds will be taken from general Advance Special gifts or World Service Special gifts. The cost of promoting these funds is borne entirely by the administering agencies or from other funds approved by the General Conference.

The schedule of amounts authorized for program and benevolence interpretation resources for the 2017-2020 quadrennium are shown in the following tables: Daily Edition Vol. 4, No. 1 1705

Rev. Kathleen McMurray, Master of Divinity, 2014 Arkansas Conference,

The United Methodist Church

We need more than good clergy and growing congregations. We need clergy and congregations that make a difference in our world.

Our children and youth are asking questions about the environment, the role of science, about war and peace, about racial and ethnic differences, about hunger and poverty. How will we live so that we provide answers that are more than words? How will we send out leaders who seek to make a difference in the world and not merely to make people happy on Sundays?

This is our focus at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

DCA10_ND_GenCurricFull.indd 1 5/4/16 11:10 AM Arrive at the WHOLE TRUTH …by side-stepping The newest study from Adam Hamilton common Christian clichés

Half Truths God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say Adam Hamilton

True or false: 1. Everything happens for a reason. 2. God helps those who help themselves. 3. God won’t give you more than you can handle. 4. God said it, I believe it, that settles it. 5. Love the sinner, hate the sin. All true? Not so fast. We’ve heard these phrases all of our lives, but in Adam Hamilton’s new book and 5-week churchwide study, Half Truths, you’ll learn that although they capture some element of truth, when compared to the wisdom found in Scripture, they’re really just common Christian clichés.

In 2008, the United Methodist Church lifted up “Four Areas of Focus” for ministry. At Ginghamsburg Church, in the Rust Belt of Ohio, they have been doing ministry in these four areas for 35 years: • Engaging in Ministry with the Poor • Improving Global Health • Developing Principled Christian Leaders • Creating New and Renewed Congregations The work has led to a host of creative ministries and organic growth…because they were meeting the needs of their community and their world as the hands and feet of Christ. The Passionate Church: Ignite Your Church and Change the World tells stories of churches from around the globe who minister in the Four Areas of Focus every day.

Set Apart: Holy Habits of Prophets and Kings Jessica LaGrone You’re not unlike some of the kings and prophets in 1 and 2 Kings. Although they were set apart by God, they didn’t have all the answers. They struggled. They made big time mistakes. But they grew in their faith through spiritual practices even while carrying out God’s calling on earth. This six-week study examines the holy habits of six kings and prophets who were set apart by their close walk with God. Each week you’ll study the story of one intriguing character, discuss God’s unique purpose for his life, and learn about his particular spiritual discipline.
