PART II
The Thirty-ninth Annual Diocesan Convention
28 ADDRESS BY THE RT. REV. JAMES R. MATHES BISHOP OF SAN DIEGO TO THE THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO AT ST. MARGARET’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, PALM DESERT February 9, 2013
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. La gracia y paz de Dios nuestro Padre y Señor Jesucristo a todos ustedes.
I. It is hard to believe that next month will mark the beginning of our ninth year of shared ministry. On a Saturday in March of 2005, the people of the diocese affirmed their support of me—well most of them anyway—and I made promises to God, the Church, and to you. We entered into a covenant. Truth be told: I was scared to death that day. I knew that the church was in troubled waters. I had just pledged to “guard the faith, unity, and discipline of the church.” There were those who believed that this church no longer affirmed the “true” faith. Our unity was imperiled. And as disciples of Christ, our discipline was being challenged by both a changing world and our own internal turmoil.
In my fear at that beginning, I could not see what is so clear to me now—and I trust, to all of us—that God has been relentlessly working through this community to do God’s mission. God has been and is moving through us to accomplish God’s purposes. And what I now know, I could only have hoped for at the beginning of our life together, is the incredible giftedness and faithfulness of this community, this Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.
Throughout my ministry, Paul’s image of the community of believers in Jesus Christ as the Body—the Body of Christ—has been central to my theology of the church. The apostle uses this body language to great effect in his letter to those restless and troublesome Corinthians: “Just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.” He presses his point as he continues, “The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
II. In this time and this place, we are called to be that Body. And as the Body of Christ, we belong together. We are wonderfully and differently created—both as individuals and as congregations. And in that mystery of our unity and diversity, we are Christ for the world. That is our mission; that is our calling. At last year’s convention, we accepted this calling in the words of our mission statement: “We are a missionary community that dares to follow Jesus Christ in his life of fearless love for the world.” That mission is undergirded by a mission plan that we adopted last year. Mike Collier, our mission plan coordinator, has already reported to you on our progress and I commend to you the progress report on page 31-32 of your convention booklet. This mission plan and our determination to use it to guide our diocesan ministry is new behavior which is already leading to a more focused diocesan ministry with greater impact. The plan is organic in the sense that it is changing as we learn and grow. Yet as we adapt, we continue to focus on the particularity of our mission, fearless love.
It is fortuitous that as we adopted the Mission Plan that we also launched a new governing structure. The Executive Council replaced the separate entities of Council and Corporation. This thoughtful change in canon and governance approved by our 38th Convention has been a strengthening of the body. Leaders of the diocese are better connected. Indeed, through a very active and hardworking committee structure, we have been able to work on the health of the Body—that is the health of the diocese and its many members. I must tell you that members of Executive Council have done great work. They have been supported and assisted by people throughout the diocese who have populated the various committees of Executive Council. I commend their work as reported to you in your convention booklets. While appreciative of all members of Executive Council, I would be remiss if I did not offer special gratitude to Mark DeMichele of Christ Church, Coronado, who has served as vice president of Executive Council. In addition, he has worked with a half a dozen committees, several congregations, and is chairing our capital campaign. I also want to particularly commend Chris Christopher of St. James, La Jolla, who has worked tirelessly as chair of the Finance Committee while giving substantial assistance, 29 time and energy to St. John’s in Chula Vista. Jay Powers of St. Michael’s-by-the-Sea in Carlsbad has also put in countless hours serving on the Property Committee and chairing both our Investment and Personnel Committees. Linda Collier from Holy Cross in Carlsbad has been our second vice president and chaired the Property Committee. And Catherine Campbell in addition to her duties as secretary of Convention, serves as secretary of Executive Council and is spearheading the School for Ministry which I will say more about later. Thank you to these individuals for their superlative efforts, and all members of the Executive Committee, and those who have served on the committees of Executive Council.
And while it is wonderful to report to you that our diocesan governance is contributing to the health of the Body, there are some other signs of health and growth that are amazing. The Servant Ministry Summit, begun by Sarah Shealy Stump, about eighteen months ago has made remarkable strides in connecting the servant hearts of our diocese. Through their efforts, we know what each other is doing to serve and we come together periodically to show forth Christ’s love in service as one body. While this is happening, people in many of our congregations are joining together to minister to our military families and veterans. These grassroots movement underscores a growing sense in our community that together we are stronger than our several parts.
And as this happens, there are also signs of our commitment and support of each other across congregational boundaries. Two individuals, Mike Collier and Steve Turnbull, have accepted my request to be bishop’s warden, but not in the church which they call home. Tom Morelli and David Rhodes said, “yes,” when I asked them to take on the role of parish leader in churches that had some measure of difficulty and worked tirelessly and to great effect to build up that part of the body. We belong together. We are the body and we are acting like it. We are promoting a healthy body of Christ to serve the world.
Undergirding our entire shared diocesan ministry is an extraordinary diocesan staff. I think it is safe to say that we are anchored by Bobbi Hoff, who brings a generation of experience and a wonderful combination of hard work and pleasantness to her work. Hannah Wilder provides wonderful communication for our diocesan community and supports your communicators in their work. We added a great new resource in Travis Thomas who serves as registrar. Julie Young continues to do a superlative job as treasurer. As you may know, we have made some changes in our office. Julie will be responsible for overseeing operations in addition to her finance role. Rosa Feeney, who has served as assistant to the Treasurer, will be promoted to assistant treasurer. In that capacity, she will spend a considerable amount of her time in providing audit services to congregations of the diocese at a modest charge. Suzi Holding, the Canon to the Ordinary, will focus her time on supporting our congregations and clergy. With her experience and pastoral presence in the mission field with you, she will continue to connect you with the resources that you need. I also want to thank Suzi for once again providing the staff direction for this convention. Well done. In the first half of the year, we will be adding a part-time accounting and administrative assistant to make up for the shift in Rosa’s duties. In addition, I will recruit a missioner for young adult ministries and a missioner for Hispanic ministries. I hope you can sense how our staff, guided by the mission plan, is pivotal in support of your mission work. This shift does not occur without a cost. And so, as I announced in January, the budget of our diocese no longer will be able to support a director of development after June of this year. Howard Smith has served this diocese for more than seven years. As he looks for his next position, I ask that you support him through prayer and networking. In recognition of his contributions, I am appointing him a permanent canon of the diocese. Speaking of canons, I am delighted that Nancy Holland was installed this morning as our newest diocesan canon. As Canon for Mission Enterprise and Executive Director of the Episcopal Church, she will be a resource as we explore new mission possibilities as she continues to make the vision of the Episcopal Church Center a reality. I am grateful for her rare combination of pastoral sensitivity, entrepreneurial energy, and missional zeal.
III. while we have made great progress over the course of the year, there is much work to be done. In September, we undertook a feasibility study for our proposed capital campaign. What that study taught us was that there was a capacity to raise $2 million rather than the desired $5 million. As you may recall, the objectives of that proposed $5 million campaign were threefold: $2 million to renovate of the Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach so that it could continue to serve homeless and hungry people as well as to house the office of the bishop An endowment of $1.5 million to provide building loans to our congregations and use the income earned to make entrepreneurial grants An endowment of $1.5 million to provide grants that create mentoring positions for graduating seminarians. 30
As I shared with you in my November pastoral letter to the people of the diocese, we have scaled back the scope of the campaign. It will be a $2-million effort, the amount the feasibility study suggested that we could raise. We are committed to your highest priority as indicated in the feasibility study: to create the endowment for mentoring positions for newly ordained clergy. And we have scaled back the renovations for the Episcopal Church Center to near, or at $500,000. Presently, we have raised over $200,000 in gifts and pledges. For the balance of this year, we will be in the so-called quiet or major gift phase of the campaign with a formal “kick off” of the campaign at next year’s convention. It is also our hope to substantially complete the renovations of the Episcopal Church Center this year so that we are able to move into the facility at year’s end. Again, this decision was a result of guidance we received from the people of the diocese through the feasibility study: move the bishop’s staff and functions to the Episcopal Church Center so that we can experience what it is like to have our bishop in this place of service and teaching, which brings me to something else on the horizon this year, the school for ministry.
Like everything else we are doing, the School for Ministry is a part of our Mission Plan. Just last week, we held this year’s first of two discernment weekends as we walk with nineteen individuals discerning a call to either diaconal or priestly ministry. Heretofore, our deacon postulants have trekked to Claremont to attend Bloy House and priest postulants have gone either to Bloy House or to a host of residential Episcopal Seminaries. While those resources remain, and some may use them, it has become clear that relying on faraway institutions for formation of ordained leaders is logistically and economically unfeasible for too many. Indeed, it has an unintended and unwanted effect of ruling out ordination for some individuals who would best serve in today’s and tomorrow’s mission field. I suspect that as the economic model of our churches change in the course of the next decade we will have more and more ordained leaders who are bi-vocational and non-stipendiary. It only makes sense that we strive to minimize the expense and disruption of their lives as they are formed for ministry. We are launching the School for Ministry just in time. After taking eighteen months to revamp our ordination process, this past weekend we held our first discernment retreat at Camp Stevens. The Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas did an extraordinary job as chair of the Commission on Ordained Ministry as the ordination process was being redesigned. And the Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell has been simply amazing as chair of the commission this past year as we have worked a new process with a large number of nominees. At this past weekend’s retreat, four diaconal nominees and two priesthood nominees were affirmed to continue. Another priesthood nominee was given direction for further work. We anticipate having a similar number of people at our late spring discernment retreat. My hunch is that we will have 8-12 postulants for the diaconate or priesthood by summer’s end, many of them attending the School for Ministry in September. This will mightily strengthen our missional life.
Gratefully, we have great teachers and talent that we are in the process of recruiting to teach in the School for Ministry. The School will have three tracks of education: one for deacons, one for priests, and one for lay persons. Obviously, there is overlap for all of these. For example, there will be New Testament courses that both deacon and priest postulants will be required to take, but so can anybody else in the diocese. And we will be offering courses to assist various lay ministries. A priest postulant might want to take Vestry 101. Because we anticipate several deacon postulants beginning formation in the fall, that track will be the first one implemented. Even though the School for Ministry will be located at the Episcopal Church Center, we are looking into a variety of distance learning approaches so that learners will not have to travel for every class. We need to be wise with the use of our resources including our time and fuel for travel.
Of course, the greatest resource that we must preserve and enhance is ourselves, our congregations and those who exercise their baptismal ministry through our congregations. This also is that business of being a healthy body. Over the course of this past year, our Executive Council has been doing significant evaluation of the health of our congregations. What we have found is this. Many of our congregations are at risk. Too many of us are living beyond our means. Reserves are being depleted as they are used for current operations. And when they are gone, they will be gone!
My sense is that we are pouring significant resources and energy in being the church of the last century. As much as that church nurtured so many of us, it is gone. If we try to recreate it, we will fail and God’s mission will suffer. Our future is in a different way of being church. The marks of that church will be, as Reggie McNeal asserts, a church with a different score card. We will no doubt continue to measure attendance and financial support. But that is not enough. The most important measure of our vitality will be measuring persons served in mission. If we increase the number of persons served in mission, our church attendance will grow. If we grow the number of persons served in mission, our financial resources will grow. I am convinced that in a mission field where the unchurched and the skeptical are an ever increasing percentage, the only credible church will be the servant church. 31
To be that church, we need to be smarter about our resources and we no longer have the luxury of going it alone. We must proactively interconnect our congregational ministries. Think about it for a moment. In forty-seven congregations, we do so much separately that could be done together: financial services, building maintenance, purchasing, printing, communications, programing, even formation programing.
To encourage and facilitate a culture oriented to growing those served in mission and to garner and share resources for that work, a team of executive council members presented to the Executive Council Standing Committee at a joint meeting in early January, what we call the Vital Congregations Plan. Both governing groups endorsed the plan. That plan and an endorsing resolution were placed in your packets. I hope you had a chance to review it. The plan suggests that the congregations of our diocese will move toward ordering their life in ministry in one of eight geographic ministry areas. For each area, I will nominate an area missioner who will be confirmed by Executive Council to work to build collaboration and connections in their area. The area missioner will be a lay person from the area. We will be asking a great deal of that person. As a volunteer, the area missioner will invest significant time and energy as they listen, learn, and share. They will encourage efficiencies within the area by sharing resources, administrative functions, and ministry possibilities. These area missioners will serve with a few others to comprise a Vital Congregations Committee and will assure that we are further connecting and resourcing across the areas. They will also assist our budget committee in allocating our diocesan support to missions and aided parishes.
Let me be clear. This Vital Congregations Plan is about the health of the body. I believe that absent a concerted and shared effort toward vitality we will lose many congregations in the next decade. I am further convinced that such loses are avoidable, but that it will take a high degree of honesty, trust, and selflessness. This plan provides the structure for that to happen. The body of Christ in our thousands of members, forty seven congregations, several schools, Episcopal Community Services, The Episcopal Refugee Network, two campus ministries, Ministry to the Seafarers, and other informal ministries and missions must work as one—unity within diversity. To move forward, I need your help. I ask that you invest in this plan—first by endorsing it in this convention and then by working toward its implementation. I ask for your suggestions regarding area missioners. The position description is at the end of the Vital Congregations Plan. And as the plan is organic, I ask you to engage the Vital Congregations Committee in making it better as we live it out. I cannot emphasize enough it is about our health and well-being so that we can do God’s mission. It is all about the health of the body.
Before I conclude, I want to say a word about the health of us as individuals. For us to be a vibrant and healthy church, we need healthy leaders. For this reason, I have become more focused on my own health and well- being. In my fifty-fourth year and eighth year of consecration, I am mindful that body care takes more intentionality. As your bishop, I believe that I have a responsibility to model care for body, mind and soul. And so, I am setting aside more time for exercise, reading and writing, and prayer. I hope that you will affirm my decision and invite your own clergy to do likewise. In fact, I suggest that you mark your calendars for the Health and Wellness Summit for our clergy and all congregations’ lay employees to be held on August 27th at Good Samaritan in San Diego. I understand that some churches are closing so that all their employees can attend. I hope all might do so. I understand that this has the capacity to be a life changing event. By attending to the health of our bodies as individuals and as congregations, we can be assured of the health of the Body of Christ, quickened and inspired for mission. The world is waiting to be touched and transformed by that Body.
And so beloved, I commend you to a shared and interconnected missional life. In the days ahead we can become stronger, healthier, and more vibrant. We must do this to serve God’s mission. It is not an impossible mission. For with Christ all things are possible. Let us be on our way!

38 REPORT OF THE JUDGE OF ELECTIONS
February 13, 2013
The Right Reverend James R. Mathes Episcopal Diocese of San Diego 2728 Sixth Avenue San Diego, CA 92103
Re: 39th Annual Convention - Episcopal Diocese of San Diego Report of the Judge of Elections
Dear Bishop Mathes:
Please accept the following as the formal report of the Judge of Elections for the 2013 Diocesan Convention. The election proceeded through three ballots.
There was one election, Diocesan Executive Council – Clergy, involving an equal number of candidates and open positions. According to the precedent set in the 2012 election, the order of the terms was determined by a single combined vote of orders, whereby The Rev. Martha Anderson, as the candidate with the most votes, was elected to the term ending in January 2017, The Rev. Kathleen Kelly was elected to the term ending in 2015, and The Rev. Kevin Warner was elected to the term ending in 2014.
It is advised that future ballots accommodate the above circumstance by moving those elections into the contested column and assigning voting numbers, with explanation that voting is to determine order of terms and not to elect, with further stipulation that election will be by combined orders, and finally to vote for only one person.
The election for Diocesan Executive Council – Lay also included one partial term, which was assigned to the third person elected, Roxanne Perfect Knight.
The full results of the election follow, including both uncontested and contested elections.
The following candidates were unopposed and were elected by acclamation:
Secretary of Convention: Ms. Catherine Campbell Historiographer of the Diocese: Mr. John J. Will Disciplinary Board – Clergy: The Rev. Bill Krieger Disciplinary Board – Lay: Mr. John David Cowart Standing Committee – Clergy: The Rev. Paige Blair Standing Committee – Lay: Mr. Allen Sweet Diocesan Foundation Trustee: Mr. Sam Ward Trustee, The Bishop’s School: Mrs. Ann Wolterstorff Love 39
The following candidates were unopposed, but an election was needed to determine the assignment of terms:
Diocesan Executive Council – Clergy: The Rev. Martha Anderson (2017) The Rev. Kathleen Kelly (2016) The Rev. Kevin Warner (2014)
There was one remaining office, which was filled by ballot:
Diocesan Executive Council – Lay: Dr. Joyce Justus (2017) Mr. Jay Powers (2017) Ms. Roxanne Perfect Knight (2016)
I have attached the ballots and tally sheets that indicate the number of votes by order for each ballot.
Respectfully Submitted, Geoffrey Hueter, Ph.D. Judge of Elections

ADVOCACY
The Advocacy Ministry works to help the Diocese be a community that promotes both peace and a just society by working for respect and fairness for all people. Since Diocesan Convention 2012 we established Advocacy Leadership Teams to address the important issues that have been identified by our Diocese: specifically, poverty, international borders, and the military. A principal goal is to advise the Bishop as the principal religious spokesperson in the region.
• Three statements in the form of resolutions are presented to this Convention • The policies endorsed by The Episcopal Church relating to poverty, international borders, and the military were compiled. These will be posted on the Diocesan website to equip clergy and laity to advocate those policies. • The Ministry continues to develop a list of key terms and standardized definitions to facilitate understanding of the important issues, and acceptance of diocesan policies.
Among those working with the Advocacy Ministry: Dr. Stephen Crawford, The Rev. Babs Meairs, The Rev. Susan Astarita, The Rev. Dr. “Mac” Collins, The Rev. Eleanor Ellsworth, The Rev. Wayne Sanders, Nancy Holland, Lesslie Keller, Sister Ann Durst, Dr. Phil Hadley.
EVANGELISM
There is no doubt, the world around us in changing in epic ways. Many scholars now believe we are living in a post Christian world. The purpose of your Evangelism committee is to capture the essence of that change and then provide congregations with the tools and resources needed to meet the needs of these turbulent times. In other words, our objective is to help each congregation become more Missional and externally focused, then by doing so, find that their Average Sunday Attendance is enhanced.
This rise in the Missional church is the single biggest change in Church since the Reformation of the 16th century. Being Missional must become a way of living and comes from the belief that in the darkness God is teaching us something.
Often, when the word Evangelism is mentioned, people get mental pictures of putting up a tent, going door to door or waving a Bible on a street corner. Some of these methods are valid ways to reach those who need to hear, but at the heart of the matter is the idea that building relationships between the church and the community will bring new people into our congregations.
In 2012 we surveyed the modern religious climate and have come to understand that there are many parallels between the first century and twenty-first century church. We also considered the modern trend toward isolationism and the need for the church to be the community of God's people that God desires it to be. Having seen the religious condition of the twenty-first century, we have asked: what can we do to promote the Gospel in this day and age? What methods are currently being used, and do they really accomplish what God desires? Do they really help us as Christians to live a Christian life both inside and outside the church?
Our first steps in 2012 were to build Toolkits which will be placed into three Volumes; hosted on the EDSD (www.edsd.org) website and introduced at this convention. The Volume format will provide convenient locations where future kits can be hosted as the library of kits grows and develops. A Summary of our first toolkits that we will offer at Convention follows:
Volume I - Person to Person – Our Spiritual Discipline in Life The Person to Person volume focuses on Our Spiritual Discipline in Life and discovering our deeper theological and spiritual roots. In this kit personal awareness is considered to be primary to evangelism before going out into the community or into the world.
48
The kits in this volume will provide simple tools for developing and nurturing personal habits that build understanding and confidence in us as Christians to live and tell our sacred Christian story to others. The first Toolkit in Volume I helps us to look inward towards seeking a greater awareness of our Christian life. The kit also helps us to build personal evangelism habits such as practicing gratitude, learning to listen, naming the Holy in one’s life. Through these practices, we become better equipped and ready to share all or parts of own our story with another at just the right time or moment.
Volume II - Community to Community – Becoming a Mission Church The Community to Community Volume will be the repository for kits that help us to reach into the community and do mission. Our first three kits in this volume focus on providing support to Military families, developing a food collection program led by your Sunday school and a way to assess; “How Welcoming is your Congregation”? This kit was constructed to offer a checklist for congregations to determine how welcoming they might be. The kit was developed by the Repentance and Reconciliation Committee, Committee Chair, The Rev. Fred Thayer. The kit is offered jointly by both the Evangelism and Repentance and Reconciliation teams.
Provide Support to Military Families. Why this Kit? Thousands of troops will be returning from military service in the near future, with thousands more already in Southern California. Research indicates that the stress of deployments places a high degree of stress on family relationships, and often challenges the faith of the service member. Local churches and faith communities are an essential resource to help restore family relationships and deepen spiritual wellbeing. Within the boundaries of our diocese there exist Twenty (20) Military Installations (16 are in San Diego County) that are the nucleus of a mission field that contains the single largest concentration of active duty and U.S. Armed Forces veterans in the nation. In recognition of these families and in faithful obedience to our baptismal covenant and the great commandment, the diocese intends to increase our outreach efforts in the military mission field. This toolkit seeks to assist in achieving this goal in three ways.
First, it serves to inform interested parties about this highly diverse mission field. The hope is that information can be the impetus to increasing outreach activity.
Second, the toolkit provides the means for easy entry into the military mission field. This is accomplished using valid congregational ministry programs and web related resources that address a variety of service member and or veteran needs.
Third, the toolkit serves to broaden the resources available to those who are already serving in the military mission field or to act as a catalyst for the start of a new ministry.
The Church Challenge Tool Kit “A food collection program Led by your Sunday school” The purpose of this Kit is to provide congregations with the approach, the tools, the expectations and templates needed to create a food gathering program through the leadership of the Sunday school in your church.
This outreach program is a great Evangelism tool because it provides a way to spread the good news of Jesus Christ into the community and make your congregation better known and more relevant in the community that you serve.
Every aspect of this program has been tested. We know it works! It binds a congregation together in purpose, helps children learn about stewardship and feeds the hungry. Evangelize by Helping People find Jobs or new Jobs In 2008, members of the congregation and clergy at St. Bartholomew’s, Poway, formed InlandNet.org. Inland Net helped people in transition secure new employment or those already employed to find new positions. Over the years 800 plus people were served or helped to find new work. Under the direction of Dick Jeffrey’s, Inland Nets Executive Director in 2013 the program will made available to anyone who wants to help those in transition. Dick will offer a special orientation of the efforts being made in this important outreach ministry. You may contact Dick at ([email protected]) for more information.
Volume III - Beyond the Church – Taking the Message to the World Social media tools and the internet can be invaluable resources for connecting with members, visitors and seekers online. Opportunities abound for churches to apply social media tools and benefit from access to global 49 resources, such as the UK Alpha Course “Life is worth exploring.” This volume will focus on identifying resources for developing essential website elements and placement, branding and logos and the use of Facebook and Twitter in the everyday life of the church. Toolkits for Volume three will be developed in 2013. Conclusion We hope that these kits will help you to welcome the stranger, serve the community and become more externally focused. Because at the core of our teaching must be to welcome the stranger (Hebrews 13:2) and to help carry on the Jesus work in reconciling the world to God and as we accomplish this to each other. (II Cor 5:18)
If you any help with applying these kits or would like to join our team please don’t hesitate to contact The Rev Bill Zettinger at [email protected] or 858-487-2159

OUTREACH
The Outreach Ministry Team was established in early April of 2012 and charged with the original Goals, Objectives and Action Plans as established in the original 2012 Strategic Mission Plan. The initial primary objectives centered on 1. Identifying Diocesan Servant Ministries currently in place in the 46 parishes of the Diocese and 2. Identifying two inter-congregational servant ministry events in the community.
The objective to identify parish servant ministries was a major undertaking which is still in process and entails multiple issues as gathering data, creating common labels and reporting meaningful data is only complicated by the geographic challenges of the Diocese of San Diego. The result of these challenges has been the extension of anticipated completion dates by about one year.
The team survey received responses from twenty parishes identifying at least 179 servant ministries at the parish level. The following chart summarizes these results;
Outreach Programs of 20 reporting Parishes by Type Program
Angel Tree 14 Community Awareness 11 Community Awareness Fund Raisers 13 Community Volunteering 11 ECS Sponsored 5 ERD – Global 4 Episcopal Refugee Network 3 Food Bank – Collect & Distribute 24 Food Bank – Collection 13 Global Fund Raising 21 Homeless Assist – OS Agency 10 Homeless Assist – Host 2 Hosting Outside Org(s) on Campus 7 Meal Prep & Serving 10 Pet Outreach 2 Prayer & Support 9 Prison Ministry 0 Thrift Shop 3 Youth – Back to School Supplies 5 Youth – School 5 Youth – Preschool 4 Youth – Music / Camp 3
TOTAL RESPONDED 179
50
Without clear definition of the existing servant ministries and a broader response from remaining parishes the committee has not identified any servant ministries to date that are ready for presentation to the greater community as diocesan supported ministries at a level beyond the parish initiatives currently in place.
It is clear that the programs/ service ministries being supported by the one existing Service Summit Group are worthy of further and broader support and it would be the recommendation of the Ministry Leader to build further on that model at least within that geographic area. Serious consideration should be given to continued consideration of establishing tele-meeting capabilities within the diocese in order to overcome the geographic challenges encountered when attempting to schedule diocesan-wide meetings.
The foundation has been laid to create a meaningful database that may be utilized by the entire diocesan community and certainly there is the opportunity to expand service ministry within “Enterprise/Mission Zones in the very near future.
David Rhodes, chair

REPENTANCE & RECONCILIATION
The Diocesan Mission Plan called for work toward two Repentance and Reconciliation objectives in 2012. The first objective, training at least two members of each congregation to become conflict resolution resources for their 51 congregations and the wider community is to be accomplished prior to the Diocesan Convention to be held in February, 2014. Work toward this in 2012 was to include evaluating conflict resolution training options and recommending programs. Toward this end, I reviewed several conflict resolution training programs which I located on the internet. I then engaged in several conversations with and about conflict resolution training programs offered by the Alban Institute, headquartered in Herndon, Virginia and by the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, headquartered in Lombard, Illinois. The Lombard program seemed preferable in many respects, mainly as a program that lends itself well as a trainer of trainers. In November, several members of the diocese participated in a Lombard training held in the Los Angeles area. Participants from the Diocese of San Diego included Suzanne Foucault (Diocesan Consultant for Conflict Mediation and a member of St. Peter’s, Del Mar), Nancy Holland (Director of the Episcopal Church Center in San Diego), Tim Morelli (a member of Christ Church, Coronado), and Julie Young (Diocesan Treasurer & Canon for Finance). Also attending was Beth Bojarski (Executive Director of Camp Stevens). We now have a pool of trained people, from whom it is possible we can draw a pool of trainers for our diocese. Suzanne Foucault has agreed to serve as a Diocesan Pro Bono Consultant, that is, as a mentor and coach while our training programs are developed and refined, in order to meet the objective’s completion date of January 31, 2014. At this Convention, on Friday, February 8 at 10:30 am, Suzanne Foucault, Nancy Holland, and Tom Morelli will present a learning opportunity, Healthy Conflict, based on their recent week in Interest-Based Problem-Solving at the Lombard Mennonite Peace Center Conference. The following deadlines remain along the way to the completion of this objective:
• offer at least two conflict resolution training programs prior to the 2014 Convention • provide conflict resolutions learning opportunities at EDSD Conventions commencing in 2014
The second objective, encouraging all congregations to annually evaluate their congregational life, measuring their receptivity to the stranger and first-time visitor is to be accomplished prior to the Diocesan Convention to be held in February, 2015. Work toward this in 2012 was to include the creation of a standardized diocesan checklist for the purpose. The checklist was to be included in the “Evangelism in a Kit” being developed under Evangelism in the Diocesan Mission Plan. Toward this end, I researched, mostly on the internet, checklists and inventories for congregations assessing how welcoming they are. I combined material from the Dioceses of Texas and Georgia, and from other Episcopal and non-Episcopal sources. I added material from my own experience. By the second draft, I was seeking comments from several EDSD clergy and from colleagues in several other dioceses. Many of their suggestions were incorporated. Many changes were made and further comments were sought. The fifth draft was forwarded to Evangelism in November, 2012. In the course of using the checklist, I expect that additional modifications will be indicated and that many will need to adapt some of the items to their particular situation. I hope the checklist will be a living document, updated regularly in the light of experience with it. The following deadlines remain along the way to the completion of this objective:
• perform self-evaluation based upon the diocesan checklist by June 30, 2013 • make changes in congregation based on self-evaluation by December 31, 2013 • conduct external evaluation visit at 25% of parishes and missions; report results to evaluated parishes and missions by January 31, 2015
Because my term on the Diocesan Executive Council expires as of this Convention, a continuing or newly elected member of DEC will take over the Repentance and Reconciliation portfolio soon after the rising of Convention. I will be happy to consult with that individual. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served on the Diocesan Executive Council (now completing my term on the former Diocesan Corporation to which I was elected originally) and I much appreciate the vision, talent, and energy of all who have worked to formulate and to carry out the Diocesan Strategic Plan to this point. I also thank the Rev. Canon Suzi Holding for her helpful guidance along the way.
The Rev. Frederick W. Thayer
STEWARDSHIP
The Stewardship Mission Area Leader coordinates and monitors the activities and progress of all Diocesan committees with financial responsibilities---Audit, Budget, Development, Finance, Investment, Mission Strategy, Stewardship Committees as well as the Capital Campaign Steering Committee. Details of the specific programs and activities for each committee are contained elsewhere in each committee’s individual report. All committees 52 have made good progress in advancing the goal of the Mission Plan and have met or are in the process of meeting their respective goals. An outgrowth of the activities in the overall area of stewardship has been a much closer coordination of these committees and the availability of specific assistance and help for individual parishes.

WORSHIP AND FORMATION
Worship and Formation Goal: As a community centered in worship, every member of the Church, blessed with his or her God-given reason, will have an opportunity to obtain age-appropriate knowledge of Holy Scripture and the traditions of the Church.
Worship: The objective of the Worship-oriented portion of the Mission Plan is to develop menu of opportunities for every member of the Diocese to participate in meaningful and transformative worship. A Diocesan Liturgy Committee, with Canon Allisyn Thomas as chairperson, has been formed to carry out this objective.
Activities include: 1. Gathering and preparing a variety of Instructional Eucharists that can be used by parishes as part of their liturgical education programs. These IEs will be placed on the Diocesan website.
2. Create a Worship Lab at the Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach. The exact nature of the Lab has yet to be defined. The Lab will useful to rectors, vicars and deacons, students of the School for Ministry, liturgists and all lay persons interested in how we "do church." We anticipate that the Worship Lab will be established during the summer of 2013.
Formation: At the 2012 Diocesan Convention, Bishop Mathes said:
"You’ll find that our proposed School for Ministry is all about people development: it is about developing leaders, developing spiritual gifts, and developing competencies in core ministries of the church. And while much of our mission plan is focused on building up our congregations, it is to build them up as outposts of the kingdom."
The School for Ministry is becoming a reality. Following the Convention, Bishop Mathes appointed Catherine Campbell to be the School for Ministry Director. Catherine's principal activities are to work with the Episcopal Church Center to begin holding lay ministry/discipleship classes, develop a curriculum for diaconal training at the School, and recruit faculty. First classes of the School, in association with the Episcopal Church Center, were held during Advent of 2012. The ECC and the School will also offer classes in January and for Lent.
A draft diaconal training curriculum has been developed and will be in the review process this spring. Although geared for training potential Deacons, the diaconal classes will be open to all. It is hoped that individuals and parishes will take advantage of this resource and include these classes in their Christian discipleship formation.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Members of the Audit Committee for 2012 were:
Mr. Jim Greer, Chair Mr. Tim Agnew Mr. Wayne Hatch 53
Following the completion of the 2011 Audit, the committee met with the auditors, Leaf and Cole, LLC and the diocesan management team. Following the auditor’s oral presentation of the report, the management team was excused and the committee met privately with the auditors. While the auditors mentioned a couple matters of preparation and support documentation, they had no further substantive issues to discuss with the committee.
The committee recommended the audit be received and the Executive Council so ordered.
Recently, in preparation for the 2012 audit, the committee met again with the auditors to discuss their plans for the 2012 work and to seek a preferred rate based on a multiple year engagement.
The auditors responded with a proposal for a three year engagement with no increase over the price of the 2011 fee. The committee shared the preparation discussion with the management staff and recommended the acceptance of the fee/engagement proposal. The Executive Council approved the recommendation.
BISHOP’S SCHOOL
The rhythms of life in an Episcopal School are busy ones. Students, faculty, and staff at Bishop’s begin the day early – officially, at 7:25 am (to beat the traffic) – and every day is filled with classes, chapel, athletics, the arts, and service, all of them invitations to enrich the mind and spirit of those who work and play here.
2012 saw the School reach a total enrollment of 800 students (grades 6-12), including 175 new students from 77 different schools and 47 different zip codes. 20 percent of our student body receives some level of financial assistance and 38 percent of the student body is students of color.
Bishop’s students distinguished themselves in a great many ways: instrumental and choral performances, musical comedy and theatre (Once Upon a Mattress and Fiddler on the Roof), and dance (Crossing Over Abbey Road); winning the San Diego County Mock Trial Championship for the third consecutive year; 16 graduates of the Class of 2012 are now competing scholar-athletes at Division I and III colleges; the boys’ cross country team won the CIF Division IV Championship, a member of the girls’ tennis team won the Girls Individual Tennis Coastal League Champion, and 66 of our scholar-athletes were selected for the San Diego U-T’s All-Academic Team honors; upper school students completed more than 30,000 hours of service, with 73 students earning the President's Volunteer Service Award for serving 100+ hours in one school year, and 14 of these serving more than 250 hours.
The opening and dedication of the Manchester Library & Learning Center in September has provided students and faculty with a state-of-the-art facility for research, study, and academic support; the Endowed Leadership Lecture Series brought Immaculee Ilibagiza, a Rwandan Genocide survivor, and Jerry Coleman, the only Major League Baseball player to see combat in two wars, to campus - each received The Bishop’s School Medal in honor of their demonstrated leadership in the nation and the world; the Shaffer Family Foundation Endowed Science Lecture Series brought Dr. Paul Negulescu to campus to speak on breakthrough research in cystic fibrosis, and Dr. Andrew Young to speak on the physics of light refraction that creates the “green flash.”
The life of St. Mary’s Chapel thrives under student leadership and involvement as each grade meets for a weekly service. While services like the Blessing of the Animals on St. Francis Day and Thanksgiving and Christmas Chapels are always a highlight, it is the weekly services where so much of the good work of corporate reflection on themes significant to young people of all ages takes place.

CAMP STEVENS
Camp Stevens’ 60th Anniversary On the first weekend of September 2012, Camp Stevens commemorated 60 years of helping people of all ages deepen their 54 sense of reverence and respect for themselves, others, the creation, and God. Here’s to 60 more years of Celebrating Roots, Planting Seeds, and Spreading Branches!
Fundraising Camp Stevens’ summer camp, year-round programs and retreat facilities are, literally and figuratively, a garden that produces both fruit of the earth and the fruits of kindness, generosity, adventure, inspiration, community, and stewardship. Friends of Camp Stevens Annual Fund helps us water and tend the garden by financially supporting supplies and initiatives to offer spiritual enrichment to campers and guests, maintain and improve our buildings, and continue to be good stewards of the earth. And this summer 161 children enjoyed a week of outdoor fun, spiritual enrichment, creation care, and community living at Camp Stevens who otherwise would have gone without a camp experience thanks to the Campership Fund.
Building Updates Completed in 2012: The Girls’ Hill Summer Camp Cabins, the Saint Francis Meditation Garden adjacent to the Chapel of the Transfiguration, and the Root Cellar which will provide year-round, long-term storage for our fall harvest vegetables with minimal energy consumption.
Upcoming Projects for 2013 and beyond: Three retreat Cottages, continued work on the Lax-Sadler fireplace mosaic, and the Bergstrom Lodge, which will be dedicated to Peter and Vicki Bergstrom, who retired September 1, for their 40 years of leadership, service, dedication, love, and vision for Camp Stevens.
Social Media Camp Stevens is on Facebook! Twitter! Pinterest! And Wordpress! If you use social media or have a computer at all, please take time to “friend” or “follow” Camp Stevens and check out our blog (facebook.com/campstevensjulian and the blog: campstevensjulian.wordpress.com).
Executive Director Transition Following a two-year search process, my family and I moved from central Kentucky to Julian in late August to join the Camp Stevens community. While I take on the role of Executive Director, my husband, Mitch, is stay-at-home dad, a novice carpenter and is acting as supply priest around the Diocese. Eliot, an active four-year-old, loves to dig in the dirt anywhere he can find it around Camp.
In these first few months I have been listening and learning – to and from staff, donors, guests, and other friends of the Camp. I feel tremendously grateful to be here and humbled by the quality of the staff and the responsibility of serving and leading this incredible place! Thank you for your support of Camp Stevens. I am very much looking forward to meeting you, hearing your stories of Camp, and being a part of the Julian and Episcopal communities!
Beth Bojarski, executive director
CAMPUS MINISTRY
AGAPE House – Campus Ministry at San Diego State University The Diocese mission plan of “Fearless Love” has inspired us to embrace change and to expand our outreach in several ways. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” – Matthew 28.19 ‘Normal’ changes in campus ministry include graduations and saying goodbye. In 2012, we sent off 12 graduates with our blessing and a “towel-stole” to remind them of their call to serve Christ in the world. It was a bittersweet moment to see them go. While their light has moved more distant from us, we know that it has come closer to others. They are our gift back to the world and to the wider church that formed them in faith and vocation. We also said hello to new students who are taking up the mantle of discipleship and leadership, in worship, Christian education, service, hospitality and community building. Among them, is Radbeh “Rod” Ravaz, our
55 newest brother in Christ from Tehran, Iran. Seeds of faith planted in his childhood finally germinated at Agape House, and we were joyous to see that culminate in Rod’s baptism this fall. “Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” – Matthew 10.39 A common truism about college life is that this is a time to “find yourself.” While there is a bit of self-seeking with new freedom, there is also a sense in which students need to discover the joy and freedom of a life given away for others, in Jesus’ name and by his example. We offer several weekly opportunities for students to find their life by giving it away in service, by assisting in worship, offering hospitality, feeding hungry people, and by welcoming others to share the love of Christ. New students and changing economics also bring new challenges for how we reach out, care and serve. This academic year, more than 4000 of the 30,000 students at San Diego State University live in poverty. Many of these students are homeless, hungry and/or cannot afford required textbooks. Many others have just returned from war. At Agape House, we are exploring ways to help these marginalized and underserved students who need a safe and caring community at least as much as the more privileged students. These are focus areas for Cyndi Jones, our pastoral intern from the Episcopal Divinity School, thanks in part to a Fearless Love Grant from the Diocese! “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” – John 1.5 You may know that the SDSU community was touched by a brutal tragedy this fall. We lost a dear friend and servant-leader of Agape House in Mary Shojai, who was Director of Student Disability Services at SDSU. Her memorial service showed that Mary’s legacy of caring ministry that empowers marginalized students will live on as we continue her loving, Christ-like work on campus. As your front-line missionaries on campus, we are grateful for our partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego! Bridging adolescence and adulthood, church and academy, faith and reason, gifts and service, we carry on to gather others to a “home away from home” with Christ at the center. Thanks to all our Friends in Christ! The Rev. Darin Johnson, campus pastor
CANON TO THE ORDINARY
The Canon to the Ordinary position encompasses a broad portfolio consisting of congregational development, clergy wellness, compliance, and program and ministries, in addition to offering advice and assistance to the Bishop in exercising oversight and diocesan management in these areas. This is done in conversation with other members of the bishop’s staff and diocesan leadership. In 2012, much of my focus was on the rollout and implementation of the Diocesan Mission Plan. Some highlights from the year:
Congregational Development I represented Bishop Mathes in congregations across the diocese in Sunday morning worship (preaching and presiding), vestry/bishop committee retreats and meetings and annual meetings. I assisted clergy and lay leadership in strategic planning, goal setting, mutual ministry reviews, governance, conflict resolution, transition, search processes, letters of agreement, best practices and succession planning. Several congregations experienced transitions through retirement or new assignment/call (St. David’s, St. Andrew’s in Encinitas, Grace, St. John’s in Chula Vista, All Souls’, St. Paul’s Cathedral). We welcomed two new priests into the diocese as rectors, The Rev. J.D. McQueen at All Saints’, San Diego and The Rev. David Madsen at St. Alban’s El Cajon, and we celebrated the appointment of the Rev. Larry Hart as Vicar in Charge at St. Anne’s. As staff liaison to the Mission Strategy Committee, chaired by the Rev. Chris Chase and then by Dr. Joyce Justus, I provided support and advice as the committee shifted from a transactional to a more relational engagement of mission and aided congregations, hosting a Gathering for Missional Vitality and introducing a congregational self-assessment tool, Markers for Missional Vitality. I also had the opportunity to support our seminarian Colin Mathewson, who developed and offered two Hispanic leadership workshops in July, underwritten by the Evangelical Education Society of the Episcopal Church. In an effort to continuously improve our Mutual Ministry Review process, I worked with Suzanne Foucault (St. Peter’s) in recruiting and training a team of diocesan Mutual Ministry Review Consultants.
Clergy Wellness
56
As staff liaison for Clergy Wellness, I worked with The Rev. Joe Dirbas in re-visioning the work of the Clergy Wellness Committee, faithfully chaired for many years by the Rev. Andrew Green. The Clergy Enrichment and Fellowship Committee emerged and sponsored three clergy days, the fall clergy conference and a preaching workshop featuring the Rev. Dr. Lauren Winner and underwritten by the Episcopal Preaching Foundation. I offered five Fresh Start sessions which were well received by our clergy new to the diocese, new to ordination and/or new to a position. Given the number of congregations in transition, I started and facilitate a monthly Interim Colleague group for support and counsel. As staff liaison to the Commission on Ministry, I provided advice and support to the committee as it refined and began implementation of the new Discernment Process for Ordained Ministry, working closely with chair, the Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell. It is inspiring to witness the Holy Spirit moving as we tend to the number of nominees that have come forth in discernment. Revisions to the Title IV Disciplinary process for clergy, which came into effect in July 2011, were put to the test in four cases during 2012.
Compliance With our registrar Isabel Lynne resigning in February, I did an open search for someone to fill that position and also take on the management of our new database. Travis Thomas came on board in April and was integral in rolling out revisions to our lay ministry licensing process a few months later. We offered five Safeguarding God’s People trainings, coordinated by the Rev. Tom Wilson. In addition we presented a symposium on sexual misconduct in ministerial relationships, “When Church Hurts: Finding Healing, Restoring Trust” featuring nationally renowned expert, the Rev. Dr. Marie Fortune. We also offered a full day of anti-racism training, Dignity and Diversity, through the Kaleidoscope Institute.
Program and Ministries We are blessed with a cadre of faithful and dedicated people who oversee our Youth Ministries, Campus Ministries, Ministry to Seafarers, Retired Clergy, and Ecumenical/Interfaith relations and I offer my deepest gratitude for their work.
I would like to offer special thanks and appreciation to the congregations that provided gracious hospitality for many of the events noted above: All Souls’, St. Bartholomew’s, Good Samaritan, St. Andrew’s (Lake Elsinore), St. Andrew’s (San Diego), St. John’s (Chula Vista), St. Dunstan’s, St. Thomas of Canterbury, St. Paul’s Cathedral, St. Paul in the Desert, and St. Philip’s.
The Rev. Canon Suzann V. Holding
CHAPLAIN TO THE RETIRED COMMUNITY
The Bishop’s Chaplains to the Retired Clergy/Spouses and Partners/Surviving Spouses are serving well. A major change took place in 2012 when Lillian Jarrett retired after serving faithfully for so many years. She continues to assist us since her knowledge of so many is endless and her friendships extend in all directions.
In April 2010 we joined Lillian at a national conference in Arizona sponsored by the Church Pension Fund. Many of the dioceses in the Episcopal Church share in this needed ministry which is an extension of the CPF. The chaplains have also represented the diocese at two provincial conferences in Seattle in 2011-12.
An ongoing ministry to all retired clergy-spouses in the diocese is the sending of birthday cards which mean so much to so many. Stephanie is the person who handles this part of the program on a regular basis. The Diocese of San Diego is the home of over 200 retired clergy, spouses, partners and surviving spouses from south-county to the Coachella Valley and out into Imperial County. Many clergy have retired in the San Diego area and desert regions from other dioceses swelling our ranks to where we are today.
An annual luncheon with the Bishop is held at the Episcopal Center in November at which time new friendships are created, especially with the new clergy in attendance, and old friendships renewed. There is always that need for further participation in the immediate San Diego area as well as in the Coachella Valley.
If you have a need for a visit or have a change of address please let us know. Ideas for future gatherings are always received with enthusiasm.

CLERGY ENRICHMENT AND FELLOWSHIP COMMITTEE (CEFCOM)
The Rev. Joseph Dirbas, Chair, the Rev. Terry Dirbas, the Rev. Rebecca Edwards, the Rev. Gwynn Freund, the Rev. Canon Susan Holding, the Rev. David Marshall, the Rev. J.D. McQueen II, the Rev. Bob Nelson, and the Rev. Bill Zettinger.
In 2012, the Clergy Wellness Committee was renamed as the Clergy Enrichment and Fellowship Committee (CEFCOM). At present, we maintain the mission of the prior committee, “to foster an ongoing commitment to collegiality, wellness and effectiveness in ministry for the clergy of San Diego.” However, we anticipate a change to that mission statement in 2013.
In 2012, CEFCOM offered 3 Clergy Days and hosted the 2012 Clergy Conference in October.
The Clergy Days are hosted by churches across the diocese, which have room for the worship, program and lunch. The host congregations and clergy seem to enjoy welcoming the clergy of the diocese to their worship home. Congregations hosting for 2012 were, St. Bartholomew’s, Poway, Good Samaritan, La Jolla, and Grace Church, San Marcos.
In 2012 the Clergy Days included a preaching conference, a conversation with delegates regarding the proceedings of the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, and an Advent Quiet Day with guided meditations offered by Dr. Elisabeth Koenig.
The Rt. Rev. Mary Gray-Reeves, bishop of El Camino Real, led our Clergy Conference in October. Our Clergy Conference theme was “Worship as a Faith Conversation: How Transformative Worship Connects to Mission.” During this conference, we engaged our Diocesan Mission Plan which calls us to offer meaningful and transformative worship and discussed how our worship and liturgy can act as tools for mission.
In 2013, we are anticipating 4 Clergy Days throughout the year. We are also anticipating offering fellowship opportunities and/or regional peer groupings, developing a list of resources for spiritual directors and confessors, and working with the diocese to standardize Letters of Agreement and compensation. We will return to Vina de Lestonnac for the Clergy Conference Noon Monday-Noon Wednesday, September 30 - October 2, 2013. Finally, in 2013 we will continue to expand the on-line presence of CEFCOM and increase our communication with clergy in the diocese.
We hope that all congregations will support and encourage their clergy in taking advantage of these opportunities for learning, fellowship, and worship with Bp. Mathes and our fellow clergy.
The Rev. Joseph Dirbas, chair
COMMITTEE ON ORDAINED MINISTRY
The COM experienced a year of healthy transition and marked progress. Whereas we spent much of 2011 revising the Ordination Discernment Process in light The Episcopal Church’s canonical revisions (GC 2009), we were dedicated in 2012 to implementation of that process. The previous COM and Chair, The Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas, laid tremendous groundwork for a process that emphasizes recruitment of future ordained leaders by parochial clergy, increases both the involvement and accountability of sponsoring priests and vestries, and makes more flexible the format of Theological Education as well as the length of Postulancy and Candidacy.
Key to implementation has been an emphasis on spiritual discernment throughout the process. Too often, the Episcopal Church treats discernment for ordination narrowly, placing the responsibility for advancing Nominees in the hands of a very few and limiting the scope of discernment to Postulancy or Candidacy. With the guidance of Bishop Mathes (to whom the COM is advisory), the COM is embracing the reality that spiritual discernment is an act of the whole Church. And, if so, then people in all of our churches need to be equipped and trained for the task.
To that end, we chose Listening Hearts as a discernment method to unify the process. For two decades, this method has been leavening in the life of EDSD. Susan Ward (co-author of the book Listening Hearts: Discerning 58
Call in Community) has shepherded over 20 LH discerners throughout our geographically large and culturally diverse diocese. For years, they have met in groups of two or three with any person in the diocese who seeks to discern a life issue. The COM invited these discerners to serve as At-Large members of Parish Discernment Committees. In mid-May, Frances Sullinger came from the Listening Hearts Institute in Baltimore to All Souls, Point Loma, to train 14 persons for this purpose. Now they are being sent out to train Parish Discernment Committees as they also serve alongside them.
Little did we know one year ago that 19 Nominees would be recruited or come forward from churches throughout the diocese! Some are discerning a call to diaconal ministry, others to priesthood. They represent diverse ages, backgrounds, gender and cultural identities. To accommodate this large number of Nominees, two Discernment Retreats are being planned for 2013, a Cycle of Prayer for the Ordination Process is being drafted, and care is being taken to support everyone who participates, not just Nominees.
With regard to our ongoing work on behalf of persons well into the process, we recommended Shivaun Wilkinson for Ordination to Diaconate (ordained at St. Margaret’s, Palm Desert June 9, 2012). With wholehearted support, we recommended for Candidacy Brooks Mason, Laurel Mathewson, Colin Mathewson, and Michael Stone. The year 2013 will bring ordinations of all four - Brooks to the vocational diaconate, and Colin, Laurel and Michael to diaconate, then priesthood. The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego is immeasurably blessed to sponsor these four amazing persons who, God willing, will all be serving in our midst!
The COM could not accomplish this work without the able leadership of those sitting around the table. This year, we bid farewell to The Rev. Michael Russell (Liaison from the Standing Committee) who moved to Austin, TX. There, he and his wife both serve as priests. We welcomed Donna Watson as new Standing Committee Liaison and The Rev. Paige Blair who brings much to our discernment process from her work with COM in her previous diocese. We thank outgoing members who leave after serving four-year terms: The Rev. Cathey Dowdle, The Rev. Edward Harrison, Dudley Coke and Tom Mauro. And thank you, Cathey for serving as Clerk! Bishop Mathes will appoint new members to fill these positions. Continuing members will be Gary Koch, The Rev. Paul Carmona, The Rev. Paige Blair and myself. Both Canon Holding and Bishop Mathes add much to our meetings. We especially thank Bobbi Hoff for attending to administrative aspects of the process.
Throughout this season of change, much is being asked of all who participate. Be assured that your prayers for the COM, all persons in the ordination process and all those supporting the process really do matter! We are grateful for diocesan support of our work and ministry, and we humbly ask your continuing prayers in the coming year.
The Rev. Dr. Laura Sheridan-Campbell, chair
COMMUNICATIONS
Communications Undergirds our Mission Plan Effective communications supports all six of our mission plan goals. Keeping people of the diocese informed and engaged in ministry is central to our overall success, particularly in building new relationships and strengthening congregations. But communication isn’t a one-way street – it’s about opening avenues of conversation between the diocese and parishioners – as well as creating and supporting networks of conversations and shared interests throughout the diocese.
Connection to each other creates a sense of shared mission and ownership. Effective communication in such a large organization is critical to the success of the mission priorities. This includes sharing the overall progress by the diocese as well as individual and congregational triumphs in the mission priorities.
Further, not only must we share our stories of mission and ministry with each other but also with our communities. This lives out the Gospel imperative of sharing the Good News of Christ as well as builds networks between Episcopalians and other groups with similar interests and passions. This public relations component is an important area for diocesan communications work.
Quantifying the Impact Since February 27, 2012, when we started using Google Analytics to track metrics on our web site, we have had 59
14,731 visits with 8,153 unique visitors. 53% of those unique visitors were first time visitors to the diocesan web site (brand new IP addresses). This shows that our web site really is an evangelism tool. The most-visited page: the home page, followed by the Find a Church page.
297 people follow the diosandiego Twitter feed, and another 470 are Facebook fans. The diocesan newsletter, the Messenger, goes to every household in the diocese, about 8,500. It is also downloaded hundreds of times from the diocesan web site and the magazine viewer, issuu. Our e-newsletters reach 2,200 people per month with an average open rate of 43%.
The ministry of diocesan communication reaches everyone in the pews as well as the strangers we don’t know yet. To quantify it based solely on members of the diocese, the cost per person is about $0.20. To break this down even more, it costs about 33-cents to print and mail each issue of the Messenger to the 8,500 households in the Diocese of San Diego. (This is less than the cost of one first-class stamp).
Assessing the Qualitative Impact The better communications we have, the better supported our overall mission will be. The better we communicate our stories, the more connected we will become. By creating networks, we find ways to share expenses or to avoid repetition of tasks (and failures). By communicating beyond our doors, we bring the message of Christ to new people, building new relationships and being formed in a model of discipleship and mission.
As we talk about the different ways people are living into the mission priorities, these stories will embolden and empower others to more fully embrace these strategic plans. A key element of ownership is feeling like you’re part of the process – good communication strategy sets the foundation for ownership and engagement.
New Initiatives Current research shows that over 97% of consumers and 80% of church shoppers use the internet as their first resource. With that in mind, the Diocese of San Diego encourages all congregations to use an innovative, web- based tool for evangelism -- a 360° virtual tour of the nave and sanctuary of your congregation that connects with Google Places. Google Places is a free platform to claim your place online and allows you to add pictures and information about your church. 360° Virtual Tours are part of Google Places. The Diocese has negotiated a group rate for a session with a trusted Google photographer. To learn more, contact Communications Director Hannah Wilder.

CURSILLO
What is Cursillo? Cursillo is a short course in Christianity, not a course in the traditional sense, but a spiritual renewal weekend that helps people become better followers of Jesus Christ, by learning about piety, study and action.
Over the last year, we have had two well-attended weekends at Camp Stevens, one in April and the other in October.
Cursillo also holds a number of Ultreyas around the Diocese. Ultreyas are spiritual evenings where people share of their spiritual experiences and ministries. Singing, discussion and fellowship at these gatherings are important for the spiritual vitality of the Diocese. They are opportunities for people at a Diocesan level to share and grow in their relationship with God.
Many people have experienced God working in their lives through Cursillo and have been inspired to do ministry that brings God’s kingdom into the world.
The Rev George M. Calvert, Cursillo spiritual advisor

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
The Daughters of the King is an international sisterhood of women dedicated to a life of Prayer, Service and Evangelism. We are an order of women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the historic Episcopate. Today our membership includes women in the Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran (ELCA) and Roman Catholic churches.
There are junior members of the Order of the Daughters of the King®. They are girls and young women age 7 to 21 that take a vow to pray daily and serve Christ. Presently there is one chapter of Jr. Daughters in the Diocese of San Diego at St. David’s, Clairemont. Jr. Daughter’s membership is open to all baptized girls.
We are an Order and not an organization in that we take life-long vows to follow the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. Our Rule of Prayer is personal and should be revised often. In addition we pray for unity of the church, for the spread of Christ’s kingdom especially among women and girls and for our parishes and clergy. Our Rule of Service is to be Christ’s servant, to take part regularly in worship, study and the work of the Church and to aid our clergy as they deem necessary for our parish.
We are women that take our commitment to serve Christ seriously. In my home chapter alone, we are involved in Helping Hands homeless ministry, thrift shop ministry, Altar Guild, vestry, property, Sunday school and young family ministry, pastoral care as Lay Eucharist Visitors, EMs, EFM, Baptisms, memorial services and more. Our chapter prays for every member of the parish at the request of the Rector. I’m sure every chapter in the Diocese has a similar list.
There are 22 DOK chapters throughout our Diocese. This year three new chapters were installed, St. Andrew’s La Mesa, St. Margaret’s Palm Desert and St. Anne’s Oceanside.
In the coming year we would like to offer leadership training for members through a program written by our own, Leigh Hartman and Sally Nichols. The Diocesan DOK board is committed to grow the Order, strengthen and grow the established chapters and foster spiritual growth. We have Quiet Days and Assemblies with interesting speakers and spiritual leaders and topics. Our events are open to all women.
For information about Daughters of the King contact Fran Friesen [email protected], Chris Miller [email protected] or visit the Order’s website at doknational.com.

DEVELOPMENT OFFICER
The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego continued its development and fundraising efforts to support outreach ministries, provide financial assistance to congregations and fund diocesan ministry programs. The Development Committee, made up of clergy and lay persons, created goals and strategies for continued fundraising in the diocese. Mission Share Pledges from congregations provide approximately seventy percent of the income to support the diocesan operating budget; the remainder comes from development efforts such as the Bishop’s Appeal, special gifts, Endowment income and other outside sources.
Bishop’s Appeal The Bishop’s Appeal received gifts throughout the year, in response to direct mail campaigns in the spring and fall. This important appeal provides funding for diocesan ministries such as Camp Stevens, Episcopal Community Services (ECS), and the Refugee Network. In addition, donations support mission work and projects throughout the diocese.
The diocese received $101,350 from the Bishop’s Appeal in 2012, with approximately 145 new donors. We are grateful for the support from so many people in our diocese.
The clergy of the diocese supported the Bishop’s Appeal with 92 gifts and were instrumental in leading this appeal. The support of this annual appeal would not be possible without clergy participation and leadership. 61
Fearless Love Fund for Redeveloping Congregations The Fearless Love initiative to support redeveloping congregations provided funds to congregations that lost a majority of their members in 2006. Ten gifts were received to help support these congregations. An additional challenge gift will be used over the next two years to encourage new donors to support this work.
Planned Giving The first Bishop’s Legacy Society Evensong was held in May to support planned giving efforts throughout the diocese. To date, more than 300 people have remembered the church in their estate plans.
Foundation The San Diego Episcopal Foundation is now able to accept endowments from congregations and individuals for the purpose of building and sustaining ministries in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego. Each congregation and ministry will have a designated fund.
Camp Stevens Development Committee In addition to fund raising efforts on behalf of the Office of the Bishop, the Diocesan Director for Development served on the Camp Stevens Development Committee. This group meets six times per year to create strategies for financing the rebuilding and expansion of the camp. This committee is made up of representatives from the Diocese of San Diego and the Diocese of Los Angeles, and welcomed the new Executive Director, Beth Bojarski in the fall.
Looking to the Future The diocesan mission plan will continue to be the road map for the future. Supporting that work and plan will require resources for programs, endowments, and building renovation. Plans for 2013 include a capital campaign to support the diocesan mission plan. The Bishop’s Appeal will continue to fund ministries and programs. Planned Giving programs will expand in the diocese, with the Office of the Bishop providing support materials. Just as those who came before us had the vision and foresight to provide what we have today, we are building a legacy for our collective ministry in the future.
Canon Howard F. Smith, director of development
DIOCESAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
The Officers of the Diocesan Executive Council for 2012 were: The Rt. Rev. James R. Mathes, President Mr. Mark DeMichele, First Vice President Ms. Linda Collier, Second Vice President Ms. Catherine Campbell, Secretary Canon Julie Young, Treasurer
Diocesan governance underwent a significant change in 2012 with the merger of Diocesan Council and Diocesan Corporation into the Diocesan Executive Council. This streamlining has resulted in a governance body that is focused on both administration and mission, and has led to more coordinated management of all facets of Diocesan life.
The Mission Plan approved by this convention provided both guidance and structure as the Council began to implement the tenets of the mission plan into the life of the Church. Each commission established by the Mission Plan is chaired by a member of the Council. This has led to regular feedback and progress reports. Mr. Mike Collier, the Diocesan Mission Plan Coordinator, met regularly with the Council to review and revise plans as needed. For more information on the goals, objectives and timetables, please consult the diocesan website.
The Council spent much time on property and finance issues, particularly as related to congregational development. Ably assisted by Canon Young, Council kept a close eye on the financial status of the diocese. Despite the current uncertainty with respect to the economy, the status of the Diocese seems to be stable.
62
The Council received copies of Leaf & Cole’s audit of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and was pleased that the audit commended us on the state of our financial and auditing records. This is largely due to the efforts of Canon Young. Suggestions were made for improvements going forward, particularly with respect to documenting agreements between clergy, congregations and the Diocese, and the Council has taken steps to implement those recommendations.
The Council received regular reports from Ms. Nancy Holland on the progress of the Church Center. It was inspiring to hear the stories of the lives changed by the programs of the Center –both the lives of those who were served, but also the insight and spiritual nourishment gained by those serving. The Center will continue to play a key role in diocesan life in 2013 as the School for Ministry will begin its first semester on site in fall 2013, with regular Saturday classes for laity and for those seeking holy orders.
The Council also received the report of the Capital Campaign Committee on the results of the feasibility study conducted with respect to a diocesan capital campaign. The feedback from that study was very helpful to the Council as they continue to plan how best to move forward in the implementation of our Mission Plan. It was in particular encouraging to read the thoughtful, engaged comments from members of the diocese.
It has been a privilege to be involved in the governance of the Diocese as we move into such challenging and exciting times.
Catherine M. Campbell, secretary
DIOCESAN YOUTH COMMISSION
Jeremiah 33.3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known.
2012 was another banner year for youth ministry in our diocese.
•Our 38th Annual Diocesan Convention had more delegates under 20 than ever before. •There are more active youth ministries in this diocese since our inception. •Our diocese offers more youth events than any other diocese in Province VIII
Fulfilling our goal of area partnerships, many of our congregations are joining in their mission with young people of our communities. Your Diocesan Youth Commission continues to offer one event each month for the youth of the diocese with groups large and small to gather in Christ’s name and share the faith. Our goal is to find our identity as a group and support the existing ministries of our diocese. Our visible achievement is having provided a dozen events for teens from the desert to the shore. Our unseen triumph is the recognition of Christ as the palpable presence of peace in struggle and, through peace, great and wonderful things have come.
Your Diocesan Youth Commission is a volunteer group that has become the preeminent event-planning body in our diocese. Representatives from congregations across our diocese produce and sponsor one activity each month for the youth of the diocese to share the love of Christ by sharing music at our annual EpiscoProm, sharing our traditions at the Acolyte Olympics, or sharing joy at Happening. Last spring brought another New Beginnings to the youth of the diocese. New Beginnings is a renewal weekend geared to offer a forum to Middle Schoolers and their budding faith, The Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach generously hosted the weekend.
Young people have always sought places of peace and understanding among the maelstrom of their existence. We offer those. Places of honesty and peace, of patience and tolerance. Each of our congregations is feeling the financial crunch and funds to youth ministries are lower than ever. There will never be a better time to reach out to the youth in our communities with the imagination given us by our Creator. You have the imagination and resources within your congregation to do wonders. If you minister with young people within your parish, join the party. If you don’t, we’re here to help. Your Diocesan Youth Commission is available to you, to guide your inspiration into groundbreaking ministries with youth people: nurturing members now who will sustain our congregations in the future.
63
For their tireless work to encourage ministry of our young people, many thanks are due Jetea Johnson of Good Shepherd, Hemet, Jackie Bray, Youth Minister with St Paul’s Cathedral and St Bart’s, and the incomparable Alex Tuttle, Happening Administrative lead. Even if she weren’t my sister, I’d sing her praises from the highest mountain. God is good.
Greg Tuttle, DYC chair and youth ministry team leader with St. Bartholomew’s
ECUMENICAL & INTERRELIGIOUS OFFICER
Transition is the key word for 2012-13. Bishop Mathes appointed The Reverend Eleanor Ellsworth to serve as his Deputy for Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations, with the purpose of assisting the bishop in his role as a key leader in matters ecumenical and interreligious. Among other duties, his deputy represents the bishop at ecumenical and interreligious gatherings and works in partnership with him to exercise the influence of his office in the wider community, especially in areas of focus which cohere with the Diocesan Mission Plan, those areas of advocacy being: poverty, international boarder issues, and military relations.
Canon Wayne Sanders, the immediate past Ecumenical and Interreligious Officer, was appointed to support ecumenical relations of the Diocese by continuing to serve in a liaison capacity to the Roman Catholic Church, fostering opportunities for engagement between Anglicans and Roman Catholics.
Highlights in 2012-13
• Deputy represented diocese at the National Workshop on Christian Unity: Oklahoma City, OK, which meets concurrently with the Annual meeting of the Episcopal Ecumenical & Interreligious Officers network • Deputy represents Christian faith in the IRC (Interreligious Council of San Diego). Film production of 2nd edition of Bridging our Faiths underway. • Press Conferences & Statements: Fall 2012 1. Bishop Mathes took the initiative with Imam Taha Hassane, Director of the Islamic Center in San Diego, to develop a statement of support for the Muslim Community in the wake of an offensive anti- Muslim film trailer circulated on the internet. They elicited support of the interreligious community to show support for the Muslim community and decry the violence which erupted after the airing of the film. Bishop Mathes addressed a widely viewed press conference along with other religious leaders on this issue. 2. Bishop Mathes spoke in a press conference in November supporting the defeat of the death penalty in California. His deputy participated in the interreligious walk and rally about this and other propositions. • Deputy represented Bishop Mathes at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) banquet in November. CAIR promotes interfaith understanding, dialogue and civil liberties. • Bishop Mathes inaugurated the first Interreligious Leaders Roundtable in November 2012, with the second one held in January 2013. Focus: cooperative endeavors of religious leaders to take action in important issues. Gun control advocacy and action is the topic of the January roundtable. • Deputy represented Bishop Mathes at the San Diego Organizing Project meeting in January. Focus: anti- violence efforts with youth/gun control advocacy and attended the ICWJ Breakfast in January with Diocesan staff. • Anglican-Roman Catholic (ARC) Dialogue in January. Focus: Issues of “Immigrants in our Midst” were addressed excellently by spokespersons from each faith. Prayer, led by Bishop Mathes and Bishop Coadjutor Cirilo Flores preceded the seminar. Bishop Mathes, his Deputy and the Liaison to Roman Catholic Church participated, in addition members of the A/RC committee and registrants from the faith communities. (Appreciation to the Very Reverend Msgr. Dennis Mikulanis and The Rev. Canon Wayne Sanders for leadership in the dialogue day.) A/RC meets bi-monthly.
64
• Deputy is participating with the San Diego Interfaith Collaborative, a network to promote and facilitate cooperation among religious communities, to develop a new on-line capacity to inform the religious communities about ecumenical and interreligious opportunities.
Members of the Episcopal community who wish to become involved in matters of ecumenism and interreligious affairs may contact the Bishop’s Deputy for Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH CENTER
A Year in Review – 2012
It’s been two years since the Episcopal Church Center, formerly known as Holy Trinity, has operated in its current form – a place of gathering and sharing, learning and serving.
Gathering takes place through worship, learning, serving and well-being. Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Sunday mornings in Trinity Chapel. As a preaching station of the diocese, the Rev. Brent Carey has celebrated most Sundays with occasional participation by other clergy. Our worshippers represent the banquet of the Ocean Beach, Peninsula and diocesan areas consisting of local residents and providers and recipients of the services offered at the center.
The first Interfaith Community Foot Washing took place on Maundy Thursday. This was the Service Summit Diocesan project for the spring. It was a day filled with joy, gratitude and grace where more than 250 men, women and children received new shoes, a meal, vet services for pets, oral hygiene, medical and other social services. Twenty-one local and diocesan churches and businesses donated shoes, socks, personal care kits, food and more. It was truly a vision of meeting people where they are and God’s abundance at work.
Lutheran pastors gathered at the Center in May and the Lions Club held their annual White Cane Luncheon in October. The center hosted the reception for the Bishop of El Salvador, the Bergstroms -Camp Stevens Tribute and a farewell reception for five clergy all leaving the diocese about the same time.
Candlelight yoga is held each Wednesday evening following the community dinner in Trinity Chapel as a gift from one of our regular Sunday worshippers who is also a yoga instructor.
Dorcas House held a fund raising concert, “Music of our Neighbors”, in Trinity Chapel. Retired clergy gathered again at the center first for worship and then for food and fellowship in the community hall. Next year, they decided to combine their lunch with a concurrent community lunch so that the two groups would have a meal together.
Bishop Mathes came for a visitation in September. We worshipped with The Oasis Christian Fellowship in the Community Hall and they worshipped with us at Trinity Chapel. We all ate lunch together; made sandwiches and assembled bag lunches which were then distributed throughout the community.
The first “Advent Festival of Lessons and Carols” was held in December in partnership with Peace River Christian Fellowship, a local branch of the First Church of the Nazarene at Point Loma Nazarene University, with a potluck following. With more than 50 people in attendance from the local community and other diocesan churches, the date of December 23, 2o13 has already been set for next year for “Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols” with an emphasis on building community involvement into the program.
New Beginnings held their second weekend retreat at the center and with 31 screwdrivers removed the pews from the floor in Trinity Chapel so that we could experiment with alternative space configurations for worship, learning and gathering.
Thanks to the generous donations of Elaine and Steve Turnbull (12 60inch round tables) and Daughters of the King (toppers for liturgical seasons), the center is able to host both formal and informal hospitality events.

Learning ultimately here at the center will include the diocesan School for Ministry. In the meantime, we have been fortunate to have developed a partnership with Sister Mary Jane Flick, RSCJ at the Spiritual Ministry Center in Ocean Beach and Gertrud Nelson, both of whom have conducted classes on issues such as compassion, spirituality and the seasons of Advent and Lent.
This year the center has also hosted Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training, Fresh Start, Jubilee Ministries Workshop and Province VIII Deployment Officers. It is anticipated that classes for the School for Ministry will begin at the center in the fall of 2013.
Serving at the center continues to evolve and grow. We are fortunate to be the beneficiary of two experienced, talented and committed volunteers this year with Drs. Nan and Gerry Hardison after 14 plus years as missionaries in Kenya. Dr. Nan has been building a job bank and support services, helping with resumes and offering employment resources. Dr. Gerry is now adjunct faculty with California State University and helps every Saturday in the medical clinic. We have been able to expand the clinic to include private examination space with two gurney tables. Larry Angione from All Souls’ is building a program aimed at helping people obtain IDs. The center is now a designated DMV Voucher center.

Center Development focused on sharing the schematic design far and wide during the Bishop’s Fireside Briefings as part of the Capital Campaign Feasibility Study Discernment Phase. The feedback from the Feasibility Survey has been used to refine the scope of work for the center redevelopment focusing on readying the offices for the bishop and his staff, housing the School for Ministry and sustaining the service ministries.
The Episcopal Church Center is an amazing place where the Holy Spirit is on the job 24 hours a day. We are blessed with an ever-growing cast of volunteers who find their niche and begin the process of building new relationships with people unlike themselves. There is opportunity and the need for more hands, feet and hearts abound. Through the bimonthly e-newsletter, ECC Esprit by the Sea, we hope to impart stories about the men, women and children that come to us and how our presence impacts their lives.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN
We were blessed to have four delegates attending The 47th Triennial Meeting of the Episcopal Church Women held concurrently with the 2012 General Convention. The theme” Many Paths, One Journey” set the tone for the many informative workshops presented during the meeting. Delegates, Jamie Wood, UTO Coordinator, Carroll Levien, Treasurer, Lyn Johnson Co-President and Susie Hayes, National Cathedral Representative were able to attend and gather information to share and work to strengthen ECW activities and support in the parishes where the women are involved in so many ministries.
The UTO Ingathering is always a highlight of General Convention. Jamie Wood was in the procession of dioceses where she presented the San Diego voucher for the UTO ingathering total from this diocese. The second big highlight was the Distinguished Woman {formerly Honored Woman } celebration which has become a very large and popular event during this time attended by over 100 Bishops from the US and overseas, who escorted their women as they received a certificate from the Presiding Bishop. Carroll Levien, San Diego’s chosen Distinguished Woman was escorted by Canon Suzi Holding, and Canon Howard Smith.
66
This year our outreach has been over $500.00 to the areas asking for support, Five Talents, Church Periodical Club, Camp Stevens scholarships, and others requesting assistance. Because we have had so many inquiries about the Advent Baby Shower we are considering reinstating the Eucharistic Celebration with an ingathering of our blessings to be shared with those in need.

EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES
It is a privilege to provide social service outreach in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and our constant goal is to fulfill our mission “Serving God by serving those in need through programs and services that foster hope, dignity and independence.”
With approximately four hundred employees in thirty-two locations and a budget of $23 million, 2012 was a very busy year at ECS both programmatically and administratively. Following are a few of the highlights:
• Friend to Friend, our outreach program to homeless, mentally ill adults, moved into a beautiful new, stand-alone building on El Cajon Blvd. This new location allows us much more space for meeting rooms, a computer library and services to our members. Two hundred members of our community came to help us celebrate our grand opening in September. In November we served Thanksgiving dinner to 80 at the site, something we haven’t been able to do for many years due to space constraints. We also use the new site occasionally for board meetings. • ECS’ Uptown Safe Haven housing for the chronically homeless, mentally ill, enjoyed facility rehabilitation and redecoration, making the home more comfortable for our residents. • Para Las Familias, providing mental health services to pre-school children, expanded its collaboration with ECS Head Start and gave clinical staff added hours with a licensed clinician to enhance knowledge of the evidence based therapeutic model being used in the program. • ECS Head Start which serves 2136 low income children, had its triennial federal review and received praise for our many program strengths. We have expanded our community partnerships this year to include two school districts (South Bay Elementary and Chula Vista Early Childhood) and one charter school (Hawking). Operating from twenty-three locations, ECS Head Start provides one-third of the daily nutritional requirements in our part day program and two-thirds in our full day program. Our Kindergarten Readiness Academy engages parents to work side by side with their children to model academic success. • ACCORD DUI program received a new computer system. 90% of our clients successfully completed the program and based on client surveys, 99% percent of our clients have reported that their drinking and/or drug use has lessened or stopped completely since entering the program. • The 4th Annual Water to Wine dinner was held with a 23% increase in attendance. We have now outgrown our previous location and moved to a larger one for this event in the future. Our next event is scheduled for February 14th. • Thirteen diocesan churches financially supported us in fulfilling our mission which was an increase over the previous year! Several additional congregations supported us with in-kind donations. • Among many administrative enhancements were (1) the launching of new state of the art financial software which promotes faster more efficient information gathering for budgeting, projections, and analysis and (2) staff additions of a Property Manager a Volunteer Coordinator and two Outcomes staff as we constantly strive to measure and improve the results of our services.
67
• We celebrated our 85th birthday with Holy Smoke! a barbeque attended by over 150 people from 19 congregations! The food was prepared by diocesan pastor chefs and sous chefs and we heard the personal story of an ECS client. • We have begun to prepare to relocate the ECS headquarters as the end of our lease approaches in August 2013. Our goal is to consolidate administrative services into a space closer to our many program sites which we believe will support efficiency and save money as well as allow for more staff interaction.
Challenges faced in the past year which continue: • Trying to raise donations in uncertain economic times; • Concerns over the stability of some of our grant funding; • The increase in the need for the types of services we perform without significant increase in resources.
In 2013 we will operate:
• Head Start & Early Head Start – comprehensive services including education, early childhood development; medical, dental, mental health; nutrition; and parent involvement designed to foster healthy development in low-income children and break the cycle of poverty (2136 children served). • Para Las Familias: – early intervention and mental health treatment for children from birth to age five from low-income and high-risk populations in the South Bay area (200 children& their caregivers served) • Friend to Friend – street outreach and resource assistance including job development, SSI advocacy, housing referrals and case management for mentally ill homeless adults (over 1300 individuals provided with multiple services). • Safe Haven Transitional Housing & Supportive Services – transitional supportive housing for chronically homeless, mentally ill adults (housing for 47 adults 80% of the safe haven beds in the County of San Diego). • Accord DUI Education – educational classes, group and one-on-one sessions for individuals referred by the court system, and/or the Department of Motor Vehicles to prevent future incidences of driving under the influence. (Approximately 2500 enrolled each month).

EPISCOPAL REFUGEE NETWORK
INTRODUCTION:
The Episcopal Refugee Network of San Diego provides assistance to refugees primarily from Darfur, Southern Sudan, Burma/Myanmar (Karen, Karenni, Chin, Kachin), Bhutan, Iraq, Uganda, Palestine and Ethiopia. The majority of the refugees reside in City Heights, North Park, Linda Vista, and El Cajon City.
VOLUNTEERS: The Network is grateful for the work of the members of the Board of Directors and the more than eighty other volunteers who provide tutorial activities to the Karen and Karenni children, distribute food and household items to struggling refugee families and perform a host of other duties. Typical monthly service totals from our volunteers is between 800 to 900 hours. Recruiting volunteers is a constant and critical function of the organization. The Refugee Network is effective in channeling resources from a broad base of congregations, friends and organizations through our staff and volunteers to our clients. We deploy volunteers for tutoring, transporting clients, food distribution, some case-work and other tasks.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2012:
• In 2012 the refugee Network assisted more than 1,000 refugee families, accounting for more than 4,000 individuals. • Our tutoring program is offered twice a week at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in San Diego’s City-Heights area, and once a week at St. Alban’s Church, El Cajon. There are currently over 100 Karen, Karenni, and Chin children in City Heights and El Cajon in these classes. • We have sent 33 Karen and Sudanese young people to Camp Stevens during the summer as a result of 68
the generosity of St. Peter’s, Del Mar, and individual givers. • In 2012 we collected 137,819 pounds of food and 449 quarts of oil, from San Diego Food Bank, Feeding America and as donations from several Episcopal churches. • In 2012 the Network’s board and volunteers moved our second annual fund raiser event on board The Berkeley Maritime Museum. It was wonderfully successful. We are in planning stages to host it there again on May 4, 2013. • We partner with San Diego volunteer groups from industry. Fourteen scientists of a local biotech group conducted a one-day volunteer service project participating with Network staff in the family outreach, food distribution and tutorial programs. • On arrival, 90% of our refugee clients do not speak any English, and therefore are unable to access resources within the San Diego community without assistance. To help them, caseworkers need to speak either Arabic, Burmese, Karen or African languages in order for clients to be able to negotiate the cumbersome bureaucracies connected to public assistance. In 2012, the Network provided translation/interpretation services, on multiple occasions, to 373 individuals in 96 families at clinics and social services agencies; • In 2012 the Network joined the Service Summit. This has led to an expansion of the in- kind donations. We were pleased to receive thousands of pounds of rice and gallons of cooking oil gathered regularly from several parishes including Holy Cross, St. David’s, St. John’s Fallbrook, St. Dunstan’s and Good Samaritan. • Thirteen Episcopal congregations and four churches from other denominations each gave non-cash assistance to the Network in 2012. In addition fifteen parishes provided backpacks filled with school supplies, shoes, haircuts, and a special meal for the children who attended our tutoring programs, and their siblings, through an amazing Back to School Bash arranged through the Service Summit. • We received financial support regularly from outreach operating budgets or special fund-raising events, from St. Peter’s, Del Mar; St. Andrews, Encinitas; St. Michael’s By-The-Sea; St. James, La Jolla; All Soul's, Point Loma; St. Dunstan’s, St. Bartholomew’s; Christ Church, Coronado; and the Society of St. Paul. • Volunteers have attended meetings on behalf of the Network. Their advocacy for the needs of the refugees gives them voice in county and state-wide planning meetings where policy is being changed. The Network volunteers have been successful influencing change, and being active participants in ways which may make access to medical treatment more affordable and equitable for refugees. • Volunteers have also spent many hours reassuring refugees who were scheduled for court appearances or hospital stays, and accompanying them, because in the countries from which they come, not only are the processes vastly different, but no one expects to come out of a hospital alive.
Our Hope for 2013
• In May of this year 2013 The Episcopal Refugee Network of San Diego will be conducting another fund- raiser to support our work. This gala will take place on board The Berkeley Maritime Museum on May 4th, 2013. • We hope to improve our use of social media and the web communication links that the Network uses with congregations to raise their awareness of the needs of our clients, and ways to help them. Our supports can help us provide the means to deliver food, clothing, household goods and many critical services to refugee clients. • In the coming year we intend to begin a fourth tutoring program that would include Darfuri high school children, and to begin some programs to help seniors among the refugee populations become less isolated and more able to feel at home in their new community.

EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT
Episcopal Relief & Development was represented at Diocesan Convention in 2012 with a table and Bishops Blend coffee sales. Later in February, the Diocese of San Diego hosted a reception at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Board of Directors of Episcopal Relief & Development with local donors in attendance. At the end of February, Carolyn Lief resigned as Diocesan Coordinator for Episcopal Relief & Development. Several parish
69 representatives continue to put forward the work of Episcopal Relief & Development. I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the Diocese of San Diego in this way.

FAITH ALIVE
A thoroughly Episcopalian Renewal Weekend for the whole family
Testimonies of rectors throughout the country, demonstrate the uncompromised mission of this ministry. For over forty years Faith Alive has served the Episcopal Church, affirming the local parish’s ministries, raising up new leaders, attracting the periphery, energizing youth ministries and strengthening programs for children.
From Orangeburg, SC I expected the Faith Alive Weekend to be good and positive, but I did not expect it to be the life-changing, parish- transforming event which it turned out to be. The Rev. Dr. Frank Larisey, Rector of the Church of the Redeemer
From Tariffville CT This was my second Faith Alive at Trinity and it was one of the best ever. It was very well organized and there was a great spirit about the whole weekend. It was a great renewal and revival and community building weekend for our parish. The witnessing was wonderful, very inspiring, mature, humble and authentic. Every witness was great for different reasons.
From Holbrook, MA A deeply moving spiritual experience. The Sunday worship was one of the best ever. God was spoken to us and we are now considering a new ministry of pastoral care in our parish. The testimonies gave us much to think about. The Rev. Robert Outman-Canant, Rector St. John’s Episcopal Church.
From Pottsboro TX The Faith Alive Weekend far exceeded our expectations! EXCELLENT for the event and all the leaders. All of the prior parish work was necessary to just have so much lay investment. It is an excellent format. The Holy Spirit led witnesses to tell many stories which encouraged small group stories. The Rev. Ally Perry, Rector St. John the Apostle.
From Henderson, NV Our parish grew a lot as a result of our Faith Alive. Excellent pacing. Discussion questions prompted good sharing. Follow up materials were very helpful, creating lots of excitement. Three small groups have been started as a result of Faith Alive, and a youth group formed. The Rev. Michael Annis, Rector St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church
Your Parish In Search Process? Interested in a Faith Alive “Sampler”? The Faith Stories Retreat offers a lighthearted weekend retreat of tall tales and spirit-filled stories and sharing. There is no charge to the church, thanks to a gift from a charitable trust. Contact the Faith Alive National Office for a free brochure.

FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee of Executive Council is responsible for providing financial oversight support to the Board. Its primary responsibility is to oversee financial matters and the financial condition of the Diocese and to make recommendations to the Board. 70
The committee consists of up to five members appointed by the Bishop with approval of the Executive Council. Two members must be from the Council.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the committee focused on supporting the ministry of the missions and parishes in the diocese. We have been working through our committee members with St. Thomas in Temecula and St. John’s Chula Vista to help them achieve lasting financial stability. We continue to support the work of the Mission Strategy Committee to facilitate those missions and parishes that have sought aid in the past to regain their financial independence. We continue to assist the treasurer in locating a lender that is enthusiastic about banking both the cash management and lending needs of the diocese and our various parishes and missions. In other instances, committee members provided financial/management assistance to individual churches. Also, the committee provided a liaison and support to the Mission Strategy Committee.
In reviewing the financial reporting from churches in the Diocese the committee identified a need for more standardized audit procedures. This work is ongoing and is accomplished through a task force of the Finance Committee.
On an ongoing basis the committee worked closely with the Treasurer in reviewing appropriate internal controls, financial reporting, insurance needs and cash management.

FOUNDATION OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO San Diego Episcopal Foundation - report for year ending December 31, 2012
The mission of the San Diego Episcopal Foundation is to create sustainable philanthropy by supporting the parishes and organizations within the Diocese of San Diego. This will be done by facilitating three activities: providing turn-key investment and fund management services; encouraging effective planned giving and the establishment of endowments; and ensuring stewardship of endowments to ensure donor intent in perpetuity. A ten member Board of Trustees was established to implement the Foundation’s mission.
In early 2012, the Foundation filed incorporation documents with the State of California, and is currently in the process of obtaining 501 (c) 3 non-profit status through the Internal Revenue Service. In order to accept tax- deductible donations, the Foundation must have a “fiscal sponsor” until the IRS provides certification. In September of 2012, the Foundation entered into an interim “Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement” with the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation (“RSFF”). The agreement sets forth the procedure and services RSFF will provide to the Foundation, including investment management, accounting, record keeping and distribution of investment returns. With this agreement in place, we are now able to accept endowed funds for the benefit of any congregation in the Diocese.
The Foundation’s Board of Trustees has met monthly throughout 2012, charting the course for the Foundation’s future. Outreach materials including a color brochure were prepared and initial meetings with interested congregations were set up towards the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarter of the year. Visits were made to St. Peter’s (Del Mar), Good Shepherd (Bonita), All Souls’ (Point Loma), and St. James by-the-Sea (La Jolla).
While the initial reception has been very positive, it is clear that each congregation will require significant additional time with Foundation representatives before they are comfortable proceeding with placing funds or creating new endowments with the Foundation. This is to be expected with any new organization, but the meetings have established that there is a demand for the Foundation’s services.
The Foundation has also been in discussions with the Episcopal Church Foundation to see how they may be able to assist with outreach and other services moving forward. As part of this exploratory process, the Board asked the Episcopal Church Foundation to participate in the workshop at our Annual Convention.
The Board of Trustees has worked hard the last 12 months and made significant progress. However, there is much work to be done in the months ahead. We encourage all congregations and organizations within the
71
Diocese to contact the Foundation at the Offices of the Diocese to explore how the Foundation can help create endowments for your long-term success.
Will Griffith, vice president
HISTORIOGRAPHER
According to the Constitution and Canons of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, the Historiographer is charged in part with obtaining, preparing and preserving all special historical and biographical matter, printed or manuscript, pertaining to the diocese, its parishes, missions, institutions and undertakings.
This year we continued the process of restructuring the organization of the historical archives of the diocese, as well as providing a format for organization of current and future records within the office of the bishop. This new organization will: 1. Allow for greater ease of accessibility of archived materials. 2. Provide a much easier transition of active records to archival storage. 3. Increase the quality of archival material while reducing the volume to a more concise and useable quantity.
The process of restructuring, sorting and categorizing this material is an on-going effort. It is based on a system developed by The Archives of the Episcopal Church with additional contributions from The Archives of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. Of course, we are tailoring the system to the needs and structure of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.
This is all possible because of the support and encouragement of our bishop as well as the contributions and assistance of the entire diocesan staff. We are making good inroads this year in organizing and restructuring the file room. Also, in conjunction with the Diocesan Communications Coordinator, Hannah Wilder, we are starting to record oral histories of some of our area clergy and lay people.
My goals for the coming year include: • Expanding the reorganization mentioned above. This may include consolidating the historical records into a single location within the diocesan offices. Certain records may be maintained offsite in secure storage.
• Assisting in the preparation of permanent and temporary displays of historical records and other archived materials.
• Continuing to work with the various parishes/missions and institutions of the diocese to encourage and facilitate the preservation of historical records and archival materials on the parish/institutional level. In the coming year I hope to identify individuals in each of these areas that I may work with to share ideas and resources.
• Providing opportunities such as a workshop on how to collect and maintain historical records and archival materials for local churches and the diocese.
Once again, I would like to encourage the donation of documents and/or archival materials considered to be significant in the life of a parish, mission or the diocese. If you have or know of anything that may add to the historical records of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, please let me know. Conversely, if you have any questions regarding the history or archived materials of the diocese, I hope you will contact me.
John Will, diocesan historiographer
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The Investment Committee is responsible for the management of the Diocesan Investment Fund and reports to the Diocesan Executive Council. As of December 31, 2012 the investment funds held by Morgan Stanley totaled
72
$2,573,850. The cumulative total return for these funds in 2012 was 10.2%. In addition the Diocesan Reserve held in bank deposits funds totaled $731,173.
The Payout of our Morgan Stanley in 2012 was 4% and totaled $115,151.
The committee follows the Diocesan Investment Policy Statement, which outlines the objectives, goals and guidelines for the prudent management of the investment fund. The current Policy Statement requires that total assets be invested in accordance with the maximum and minimum range for each asset category as stated below: Asset Category Minimum Neutral Maximum Actual Percentage Allocation on 12/31/12 Equities (Stocks) 30% 50% 70% 55% Fixed Income 10% 30% 60% 30% Cash and Short 10% 20% 60% 15% Term
The current committee membership includes one member of the Diocesan Corporation Board, one member of the Diocesan Standing Committee, three independent professional money managers, and the Diocesan Treasurer. The committee meets four times a year. The representative for the custodian of the investment funds attends these meetings, and the Bishop and the Canon of the Ordinary attend when they are available.
Jay Powers, chairman
MISSION STRATEGY TASK FORCE
The Mission Strategy Task Force has a two-fold charge. The first is to consider the requests made from aided congregations for funding. In mid-2012, these parishes were asked to submit a grant request for review by the task force. The grant request packets included the congregation’s evangelism and stewardship plans and strategic goals for the coming year as well as progress towards their goals stated in 2012.
For the 2013 review cycle members of the committee decided that in addition to the proposals, members would focus on engaging congregational leadership in discussions about their longer term plans, their efforts to prayerfully consider how as a congregation they plan to move towards the goals of the Diocesan Strategic Plan. Committee members visited congregations, engaged congregation leaders in conversation about their evangelism goals, and their plans to move towards self-sufficiency. It is the intent that committee recommendations are made with an eye toward mission and not simply to the bottom line so information about current and planned congregational development initiatives is critically important. Several congregations were able to receive grants from the diocese close to their asking. However this was not possible for all. This year this was more difficult than previous years and we had to make the difficult recommendations. Such are the times in which the church finds itself.
A second charge to this committee is to begin to think strategically as to how we support and nurture these aided congregations. The committee has devoted much time and energy to thinking and praying about how to proceed with this charge. As a first step the committee sponsored a daylong session on June 16, 2012 at St Thomas of Canterbury, Temecula where we began the discussion about markers of a Vital Church and models of relational ministry. Next steps include partnering with each congregation in the development of plans for improved congregational health and vitality. The desire of all congregations is, or should be, a thriving relevant gospel ministry in the communities in which we are called. Again, we find ourselves in this time of history where the church is “counter cultural”. For us to move forward into this world which would so easily dismiss what we have to offer, we are going to have to work together to support those communities which are in the midst of rebuilding or decline. The committee is committed to that mission. We seek to provide guidance to our governance bodies, diocesan staff and the communities themselves.
Joyce B. Justus, Ph.D., chair, Mission Strategy Committee 73
MISSION TO SEAFARERS
A total of 401 seafarers visited the Center this year (440 last year), from 12 (17) countries, primarily Filipinos and Indians, and we visited 2252 (2235) on board 239 (215) ships. We distributed on board 11 cases of paperback books, plus 453 bags of magazines. We also welcomed over 3710 other visitors to the Center, including church groups, guards, truckers, longshoremen, and harbor police. This year we have put 12,993 (12,986) miles on the vans serving 3283 (3012) passengers, going to places like WalMart, Best Buy, Horton Plaza, Bombay Bazaar, and Seafood City. We have noted and reported to the Center for Seafarers’ Rights at Seamen’s Church Institute of NY/NJ a total of 413 (240) men on 24 ships who could not come ashore here this year to phone home, shop, or visit us because they lacked visas.
Piracy continues to be a global concern, particularly on both the east and west coasts of Africa.
Deacon Ellen Deuel’s knitting group have produced watch caps and scarves which we have available for crews with special needs. Neil Malmquist has sorted the magazines and packed all the bags (about 16 lbs. each) which the chaplains take on ships. Thanks to all who have donated Bibles, magazines, paperback books, toiletries, jigsaw puzzles, calendars, and playing cards. Thanks, too, to our faithful Board members for their prayerful support, advice, and encouragement.
We have ministry opportunities for volunteers: knitters and Advisory Board members who can spare an hour once a quarter to meet at the Center sharing their wisdom and experience. The primary volunteer ministries are afternoon or evening drivers and hosts who can spend four hours a week welcoming seafarers to the Center to call home, check e-mail, watch television, or play basketball, table tennis, or pool.
These last two ministries require a Transport Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) and two hours of “escort” training at the Port. The Maritime Transportation Security Act requires that seafarers not transit the terminals on their own. We have to pick them up and escort them. Thus, maintaining even a minimal level of service requires an adequate number of TWIC’d volunteers.
You make these ministries of hospitality, advocacy, and pastoral care possible through your gifts to the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego Seafarers Fund. Please continue to pray for seafarers, especially on Sea Sunday, 14 July 2013; pray also for those who wait for them and those who minister to them.
(The Rev’d) Robert Crafts, MD, port chaplain
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
Committee first met in August, 2011. The committee is currently chaired by Jay Powers.
There are two subcommittees – Employment Practices and Wellness. Employment Practices members include Brendan Shannon, Polly Getz, Christine Spalding, Allen Sweet. Wellness Sub-Committee is chaired by William Murray.
Committee Charge:
• To create templates and to educate on best practices • To recommend and implement sound benefits and compensations policies. • To determine appropriate salary ranges and benefit packages for both clergy and lay employees • To promote wellness throughout the diocese
The committee work has been focused on the first bullet item. A survey was conducted of the missions to determine current employment practices. Templates have been developed for offer letters, volunteer agreements, and job descriptions. Work related to a personnel handbook is ongoing. A workshop will be held at convention on human resource practices.
A wellness day is scheduled for August 27, 2013 for all lay and ordained employees of the diocese. 74
PROPERTY COMMITTEE
In 2012, the Property Committee met monthly to address property-related issues in the Diocese. Late in the year, the Property Committee Chair joined with the Mission Strategy (now Vital Congregations), Finance, and Budget Committee chairs and Diocesan staff in an ad hoc Diocesan Financial Sustainability task force led by the Stewardship Mission Area Leader. The goal was collaboration between the committees to improve congregational vitality in the Diocese.
The Property Committee developed, and the Executive Council approved, a property request grant/loan process and procedure, which directed congregations to submit routine property grants/loans with their annual requests for diocesan assistance. In response to the oft-cited lack of a Crisis Management Plan in Safety Reports, the Property Committee developed, and the Executive Council approved, a Sample Crisis Management Plan.
Other actions included: • Recommended a $22,000 loan to St. Andrew's, Lake Elsinore to prepare the former vicarage for rental; approved by the Executive Council. • Continued to direct the evaluation of structural repairs needed at St. Matthew's, National City. • Continued to coordinate the demolition project at St. Luke's, San Diego. • Evaluated and recommended disapproval of a property grant from St. Thomas, Temecula. • Made recommendations to the Bishop and Standing Committee on St. Philip's, Lemon Grove's request to enter into a long-term cell tower easement contract. • Recommended authorization of the sale of a diocesan property in Imperial, CA; approved by the Executive Council. • Made recommendations to the Vital Congregations Committee on property requests included with annual requests for Diocesan investment.

THE SOCIETY OF ST. PAUL
Last year I completed twelve years as the elected diocesan representative on the Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral. As a member of Chapter, I completed twelve years on the Operating Board of St. Paul's Senior Homes and Services also in 2011. Both The Rev. Canon Andrew Rank and I continue in our seventh year as members of the Dorcas House Board and Committee. Our extended family, The Fellowship of St. Paul, is an association of Associates and Companions of The Society of St. Paul, who live a Rule of Life centered on the Glory of God. In 2012, both the Rev. Canon Andrew Rank and I were advanced from Members to Officers in the Hospital Order of St. John of Jerusalem. With the main hospital in Jerusalem and satellite centers in Hebron, Anabta and Gaza – as well as Mobile Outreach Clinics operating throughout the West Bank – it is its mission to ensure that patients are able to access poverty-relieving ophthalmic services regardless of where they live or who they are. First established in Jerusalem in 1882, the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group is the only charitable provider of crucial eye care to the people of the occupied Palestinian territory. We also were honored in 2012 for our support of Uptown Faith Community Services program which aids the homeless and needy in Hillcrest.
The Society of St. Paul, a religious Order of the Episcopal Church, has been a presence in the Diocese of San Diego for thirty seven years. In 1977 the mother house and novitiate of the monastery moved to Palm Desert, California. The chief ministry there was retreat and conference hospitality, spiritual direction and pastoral care at the Paulist Center until 1996. In 2001 we moved our headquarters to the campus of St. Paul’s Cathedral at 2728 6th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92103. In 2008, The Society of St. Paul celebrated its 50th anniversary at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Rt. Rev. James R. Mathes, Bishop of the Diocese of San Diego is our Episcopal Visitor.
Since 1993, the Society and its members sensed a call to a new venture of faith. We’ve had a strong conviction that the same Spirit who inspired the founder's initial work in Oregon and brought the Society to Southern California thirty seven years ago, leads us today
Reading the signs of profound change in the world and in the Church, we sense a new role for us as pilgrims and prophets. It requires a humble way of simplifying corporate life to be free to explore the emerging spirituality and ministry of the new century.
The Society of St. Paul was founded by the Rev. Canon Rene Bozarth, SSP, on July 1, 1958 in Gresham, Oregon. It was the first men's order to gain recognition under the national canons of the Episcopal Church in 1959. Members of the Society dedicate themselves to a life of prayer and ministries of mercy, charity and evangelism. From 1958 to 1985 the Order operated as many as three nursing homes between Portland, Oregon and Mt. Hood. It also directed a parochial school, and began in 1959 "St. Paul's Press," a printing company which existed until 1995. The Order briefly had a branch house in Namibia (Africa) and for many years raised money 76 and supplies for the Church's ministry in the Middle East, Africa and the Philippines. From 1958 until 2008 we published a quarterly magazine, St. Paul’s Printer, which was mailed to subscribers throughout North America, England and elsewhere in the world.

STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
1Timothy 6:17 assures us that God “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” All too often, church budget planning causes faith in this promise to wane. We see financial needs, and we do not always see how they will be met. “Stewardship” is often understood as the label for church programs that raise income to meet financial needs.
The primary mission of the Diocesan Stewardship Committee is to offer inspiration, guidance and tools to help us all understand stewardship differently. “Stewardship” is the discovery and full experience of all the ways in which God is blessing us. We cannot care for blessings we do not see, so discovering our blessings is an essential foundation for all stewardship. It is not a matter of seeing the glass half full vs. half empty; it is a matter of fully experiencing the Living Water that is offered to fill all glasses to overflowing.
This is not a quixotic, impractical effort. In 2012, the Stewardship Committee developed five Biblically-based principles and joined them with five practical principles illustrating how mindfulness of the Good News we proclaim produces better financial health individually and collectively. For example, scripture makes known that full participation in a community of fearless love produces a deep impulse to give and share (Matthew 6:2-4). Truly rooting our endeavors in this abiding reality has this very practical consequence: People who are involved, engaged, respected, loved and spiritually nurtured in a community of faith give lavishly from their resources. To put it very directly, identifying and honoring the spiritual gifts of all ultimately contributes to a balanced budget.
In 2013, the Stewardship Committee will be: • Recruiting mentors who will have knowledge of the principles just described and experience using them; • Equipping these stewardship mentors with tools that extract reliable references from the voluminous and sometimes overwhelming stewardship resources that already exist; and • Striving to create relationships or pairings whereby these mentors can work with congregations facing resource challenges.
We would love to hear from you concerning your interests and needs.
The Rev. Kathleen Kelly, Stewardship Committee chairperson Rector, Church of the Good Shepherd, Hemet [email protected]; (760) 399-7225
UNITED THANK OFFERING
United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of the Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Men, women and children nurture the habit of giving daily thanks to God.
78
Through the physical act of dropping a thank you offering in to a “little blue box” or other collection place many lives are enhanced. These funds are collected by the Diocese twice a year and sent to the Episcopal Church Center in New York where they are used to fund grants throughout the world.
In 2012 UTO was able to award 53 grants totaling $ 1,693,808:
• 38 Episcopal Church Grant totaling $1,017,211 • 2 Regional Grants totaling $62,000 • 6 Companion Grants totaling $163,512 • 8 International (Anglican) Grants totaling $451,085
The grants ranged from salaries, programs and supplies, to land purchases, buildings, solar power and renovations, a bus, motorcycles and health centers, to freezers for food banks, computer software and many more projects.
Each diocese is allowed to submit one request for the Episcopal Church in the United States or invited churches in the Anglican Communion and one for each diocese Companion Diocese. In previous years the Diocese of San Diego has been the recipient of many grants. We have a grant review committee to help grant seekers with their proposals before they are submitted to Bishop Mathes who makes the final decision of which grants to submit. In 2012 our diocese submitted a grant proposal for the diocese and one for our companion diocese, El Salvador.
The amount of grants awarded has improved the lives of people all over the world and provided much needed help, however the need is greater and the funds significantly lower than in the past. I urge each of you to remember your gifts from God daily with a thank you offering in your “little blue box”.
It would be my pleasure to speak to your church about UTO, supply you with “little blue boxes or other UTO supplies, and help you with grant proposals. Please contact me at [email protected] for further information.

PART IV
Finances
80 Treasurer’s Report The 39th Annual Convention The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the diocese budgeted $2,361,741 in both sources and uses of funds. The preliminary, unaudited results for the year indicate both sources and uses at 2.2 million dollars. All sources of income were below budget as were most expense categories. Source of income included mission share pledges, temporarily restricted assets, a 4% payout of investments, donations, and ministry income.
The net cash flow for the year equaled a negative $497 thousand. Major positive components of cash flow include $570 thousand from the sale of St. Mary’s Imperial Beach and a $227.5 thousand gain on investments. These positive cash flow transactions were offset by loans provided to St. John’s Chula Vista of $220 thousand, loans to other churches of $86.6 thousand, costs for the capital campaign feasibility study together with improvements to the Episcopal Church Center totaling $57 thousand. In addition, $834,000 was used to reduce the mortgage of St. Thomas, a property owned by the diocese.
As of December 31, the Diocese held $19.9 million in assets, $3.2 million in liabilities, and $16.7 million of net assets; an increase in net assets of $628 thousand from 2011. Unrestricted investments plus cash total $958.5 thousand.
The last completed audit for the Diocese was for the year ending December 31, 2011. The audited financial statements can be found on the Diocesan website.
The 2011 Statement of Activities (Income Statement) shows total support and revenue of $1.9 million and total supporting services (expenses) of $2.2 million. Net operating income equaled a negative $351,221. $145,000 of other revenue was recorded related to a property sale. The resulting change in net assets was negative $206,221. This loss was attributable to the use of temporarily restricted net assets (funds received in prior years but used in current year) plus a loss on investments. The release of restricted funds was budgeted. The diocese takes a 4% payout on their investments every year regardless of the actual gain or loss. Accordingly, the diocese achieved its budget goals in 2011.
The 2011 Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet) reports total assets for the diocese of $20.2 million. Liabilities equaled $4.2 million with total net assets of $16 million including $825 thousand of permanently restricted, $654 thousand of temporarily restricted, and $14.5 million of unrestricted assets. . Respectfully submitted, Julie H. Young Treasurer and Canon for Finance and Administration
