Bishop Grant Hagiya, Presiding

Laura Jaquith Bartlett, Secretary Th ank you! We have once again been on a journey to fi nd an eff ective way to produce a Journal that is both a current tool and a historical resource for our annual conference and others across the denomination. Th e conference secretary bears responsibility for making sure that a Journal is produced, although I have (gratefully) stepped away from the hands-on layout work this quadrennium. Over the past year, Belinda Denicola, our outgoing conference treasurer, has arranged for the production of the Journal to become the responsibility of the conference offi ce staff , and I am grateful to Greg Nelson for stepping into this role. Linda Grund-Clampit, former editor, has continued to provide a signifi cant support role in preparing the Journal. A variety of conference staff and Board volunteers (in particular, the Board of Ordained Ministry) have contributed copious amounts of information. Data entry, which supplies the backbone for most of the Journal’s lists and directories, is faithfully entered and updated by our district administrative assistants. I am grateful to all of them. As General Editor, I accept responsibility for the fi nal product. Corrections are welcome— please direct them to me and I will be in touch with the editorial team about any changes that need to be made for the 2017 Journal. To update information in the directories, please contact your district offi ce. Laura Jaquith Bartlett, Conference Secretary

E. Financial Aid for Study/Travel Leave or Renewal Leave I. Financial aid is available for study/travel aid which is intended to beneﬁ t the clergyperson’s ministry. 26 Conference Policies

Applicants must be ordained clergy who have been a member in full connection for six (6) years or an associate member of the annual conference for eight (8) years. Study/travel leave may be up to three (3) months long, but leave beyond two months will be considered as vacation. The full salary of the candidate for the three-month period shall be paid by the local church or institution being served. MEF funds shall provide the candidate a stipend for tuition or travel in the amount of up to $1,250. MEF funds may also pay the cost of supplying an interim minister in the clergyperson’s absence, up to $1250 per month for two months, based on the local need. The third month is considered vacation and the responsibility of the local church. The selection of an interim minister and housing is the responsibility of the clergyperson, local congregation and the District Superintendent. (The Board of Ordained Ministry has guidelines for the use of the parsonage or the pastor’s own home.)

To apply for ﬁ nancial assistance for study/travel leave: The applicant should make a written application to BOM through its Scholarship Ofﬁ cer, which includes a description of the study or travel program and your goals. The applicant should obtain written approval of both the Cabinet (through the applicant’s District Superintendent) and the local church through action by the Church Council (or equivalent). The education and renewal value of the programs and years of service in the Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference will be considered in approving applications. Higher priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received MEF assistance.

II. Through a special gift from the Oregon-Idaho Conference Board of Pensions, clergypersons may apply for ﬁ nancial assistance for renewal leave. Renewal leave is intended to foster clergy well-being and longevity in ministry. Applicants must be ordained clergy who have been a member in full connection for six (6) years or an associate member of the annual conference for eight (8) years.

The ﬁ nancial assistance for renewal leave may be used to support the applicant’s travel expenses or the expenses of the church for supplying interim pastoral leadership. The maximum grant for leave is $1,000, except in extenuating circumstances of leave longer than one month, and then only at the request of the District Superintendent. Unlike the study/travel leave grants, there is not an expectation of continuing education/professional development being part of this leave. This is intended to facilitate and support clergy well-being.

To apply for ﬁ nancial assistance for renewal leave: Applicants should send written application, including plans for the leave and how the funds would be used, to the MEF Scholarship Ofﬁ cer. The applicant’s District Superintendent must also make written recommendation, including reasons why renewal leave is needed.

F. Theological Students I. For Full Time Study – This aid shall not exceed a maximum of $4500 to any applicant or more than $1500 in one academic year. It may be granted in one, two or three academic year increments. Grants are not made for study beyond the basic seminary degree.

If a scholarship is granted, the recipient agrees to the following: A full-time academic load as defi ned by the seminary shall be carried while in a traditional seminary setting. No less than 3 units per year shall be completed while taking courses in a less than full time program. Upon completion of the academic training, the recipient shall serve under appointment in some annual conference of The United Methodist Church for a minimum of two years. If the candidate fails to meet either or both of these conditions, any amount advanced shall be considered a loan, unless repaid within fi ve years. It shall be repayable with an interest rate and on such terms as the conference BOM shall determine. Scholarship grants shall be paid directly to the seminary.

Candidates for Deacons in Full Connection Certiﬁ ed Candidates for Deacon, who do not pursue full time theological study, will be eligible for assistance in completing Foundational Studies with grant being prorated on the basis of a $1,000 grant depending on the course load taken (e.g. $500 per semester, $340 per quarter). Total grant eligibility shall be $3,000. To be eligible for a grant, Deacon candidates must be certiﬁ ed as a candidate through the appropriate District Committee on Ordained Ministry.

III. Special Scholarship Awards Edward Coe Memorial Scholarship – Annually, the Board of Ordained Ministry may award to an outstanding candidate for ordained ministry the Edward Coe Memorial Ministerial Scholarship. Those eligible for the award shall be enrolled in seminary and shall have demonstrated outstanding competence in seminary and show unusual promise for the ministry. The award is made on the basis of nominations submitted by the clergy members of the Annual Conference. If an insufﬁ cient number of nominations are made, the Board of Ordained Ministry will select a recipient. The amount of the scholarship varies according to the number of recipients chosen and the Coe Scholarship account balance. A candidate shall be eligible for the award only once and will be asked to repay it without interest should the candidate fail to complete seminary and not enter the ministry. Nominations for the award shall be submitted to the Scholarship Ofﬁ cer of the Board by April 1st, and the award will be announced at Annual Conference. This scholarship has been established by monies from the former Idaho Conference designated for scholarship aid in memory of Edward Coe. The trust fund is administered by the Conference Board of Trustees pursuant to ¶2512.3 of The Book of Discipline, 1996.

Jasa Scholarship Awards – Two or more Jasa awards may be presented each year. Applications are available through the Board of Ordained Ministry’s Scholarship Ofﬁ cer. Unlike the Coe Scholarship, certiﬁ ed candidates for Deacon in Full Connection are encouraged to apply for Jasa awards.

Each year, unused earnings for Coe/Jasa Funds will be reinvested in the principle of the respective fund, and/ or set aside to be used for scholarships in the coming years. How much is carried over as scholarship money and how much is reinvested each year is at the discretion of the Board at the recommendation of the Scholarship Ofﬁ cer.

IV. Pastoral leaders from outside of the denomination who are in the process of joining the Oregon-Idaho Conference may receive up to $500 for each seminary course that is required for Methodist studies, up to a total of $1500.

Course of study scholarships for full time Local Pastors do not cover all the expenses related to attending the classes and local churches being served by full time Local Pastors are strongly encouraged to factor these costs into the Local Pastor’s annual professional expense reimbursement account.

Licensed Local Pastors who have completed the required course of study may apply for ﬁ nancial assistance for the continuing education courses on the Board of Ordained Ministry’s approved list. Applicants may receive: up to $350 for an event of 1-4 days duration up to $600 for an event of 5+ days duration an additional $250 if travel to the event (one-way) exceeds 300 miles

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY For Conference & District Events of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church

INTRODUCTION Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will ﬁ nd the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive. But, we know that abuse occurs in churches, large and small, urban and rural. It is a problem, which cuts across all economic, cultural, and racial lines. In April 1996, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in the church. It was renewed by the 2004 General Conference (Resolution 65, “Reducing the Risk of Child Sexual Abuse in Churches, pg. 201, 2004 Book of Resolutions). As Christians we must take our responsibilities to our children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. While we may not be able to completely prevent abuse in every situation, it is possible for us to greatly reduce the risk by following a policy of prevention. We are responsible to create an environment of safe sanctuary for children, youth and vulnerable adults, and those who work with them. Thus we establish this Abuse Prevention Policy to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the safety of all our children, youth, and vulnerable adults.

PURPOSE It is the purpose of this policy to 1) protect from abuse the children, youth, and vulnerable adults that participate in church activities, and 2) protect our staff, both paid and volunteer, from unfounded and/ or malicious allegations of abuse through a comprehensive plan that includes: screening, training, supervision, reporting procedures, and a response plan.

SCOPE This policy shall be applicable to all Conference and District activities or events involving children, youth, and vulnerable adults within ministry settings of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.

DEFINITIONS • Abuse: Intentional negligent or reckless treatment by a volunteer or staff person that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. 29 Conference Policies

Child Abuse – an act committed by a parent, care giver or person in a position of trust which is not accidental and which harms or threatens a child’s physical or mental health or a child’s welfare. Physical Abuse – When an adult injures a child other by accident, including, assault, shaking, slapping, burning, scalding, kicking, and strangling. Sexual Abuse – Sexual contact between an adult or other signifi cantly older, more powerful person and a child, youth, and vulnerable adult. Includes behavior such as inappropriate verbal stimulation, taking or showing sexually explicit photos of or to a child, or exposing a child to pornography or adult sexual activity. Emotional Abuse – verbal assault or emotional cruelty that effects a child’s self esteem. • Adult: a person 18 years old or older. • Activities: any activity or programs in which children, youth, or vulnerable adults are under supervision of staff persons or volunteers. • Background Checks: Researching references and records for indications of past or potential abusive and/or criminal activity. • Child: person from birth until they turn 12 years old. • Conference: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. • District: The level of church organization between the Conference and the local church. There are fi ve Districts in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference; Central, Eastern, Metropolitan, Southern, and Western. • Ministry setting: (To be defi ned) • Person-in-Charge (PIC): Staff person or volunteer who is the person responsible for the event or activity. • Staff person: any person employed by the Conference or District that is responsible for activities involving children, youth, or vulnerable adults. • Volunteer: a person who assists in conducting activities under the supervision of person(s) in charge. • Vulnerable Adults: any person 18 years of age or older with diminished physical, mental, or emotional capacities. • We: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. • Youth: any person 12 years old to his/her 18th birthday.

SCREENING PROCEDURES Careful screening can be important to the prevention of abuse. It provides some assurance that the most reliable, committed and experienced staff and volunteers are in place for every program that involves children, youth, and vulnerable adults. The following are the MINIMUM standards: 1. All adults, volunteer or staff persons, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults shall be required to complete the “Voluntary Disclosure” form. 2. Minimum background screenings shall include:

a) Reference checks from Voluntary Disclosure form. b) Review of the Oregon and Idaho lists of sexual offenders or State or National criminal background checks. 3. The policy shall be implemented in the following manner: a) All staff persons and volunteers, who have regular and direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults will submit to the screening procedures. b) The screening procedure shall be repeated every fi ve years. c) The person in charge of the event and/or their designee is responsible for review and approving each application before a person’s service begins. d) All records are confi dential and will be maintained for a period of at least fi ve years. 30 Conference Policies

SUPERVISION Competent and trained staff and volunteers are important to any event. The procedures described below are designed to reduce the possibility of abuse to children, youth and vulnerable adults, and to protect staff persons and volunteers from unfounded accusations.

The following are MINIMUM standards and each event may adopt more stringent requirements if necessary. 1. Training is required for all persons having direct contact with children, youth, and vulnerable adults. Training shall include an annual orientation that includes information about this Policy, supervision of children, youth, and vulnerable adults, and identiﬁ cation and reporting of abuse. 2. All children, youth, and vulnerable adults will be supervised by adults. No adult will be alone with any one child, youth or vulnerable adult out of sight of others. 3. No person shall supervise any group of children or youth unless he/she is AT LEAST 5 years older than the children or youth.

REPORTING Once an incident of abuse is recognized, it is crucial that it be dealt with speedily and in a clearly outlined manner. The adult who observes or hears of an alleged abuse shall: 1. Assure the safety of the victim. Take whatever the victim says very seriously. Make sure that the victim is in a safe place and watched over. Do not confront the accused abuser with anger or hostility but immediately remove him/ her from further involvement with children and youth until the matter can be investigated. Notify the proper authorities. 2. If there is a situation of immediate risk call the police at 911, otherwise follow the procedure as listed below: a) Report the incident immediately to the Person-in-Charge (PIC) of the event or activity in which the incident occurred. b) The PIC shall: i) Ascertain the details needed to make an accurate report. This report must be made within 24 hours. The report should include the following information if obtainable: • The name, address, age and sex of the alleged victim; • The name and address of the alleged victim’s parents or other person responsible for his/her care; • The nature and extent of the alleged abuse or neglect; • Any evidence of previously known or suspected abuse or neglect of the alleged victim or their siblings; • The name, address and relationship, if known, of the person who is alleged to have perpetrated the abuse or neglect; and • Any other information known to the person making the report that would be helpful to the investigation of the alleged abuse. ii) Contact the appropriate State or law enforcement agency as soon as possible to fi le the abuse report and provide the aforementioned information and follow the instructions of the agency. iii) Notify one of those trained and designated by the Conference to respond to reports of abuse as listed in the Crisis Communications Plan. The alleged perpetrators of the abuse will be required to refrain from all events involving children, youth and vulnerable adults until the incident report is resolved. In any removal of a person from any activities, care must be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is being conducted. RESPONSE PLAN • A quick, compassionate and unifi ed response to an alleged incident of abuse is expected. All allegations will be taken seriously. In all cases of reported or observed abuse in an activity, the entire staff of that activity shall be at the service of all offi cial investigating agencies. 31 Conference Policies

• Follow the procedures outlined in the Crisis Communications Plan, When a Crisis Strikes…Are You Ready? • Pastoral support shall be available and offered to all persons involved with the incident.

TRAINING The Conference shall develop and implement training and orientation procedures for persons in leadership who work with children, youth, and vulnerable adults in local ministry settings within the Annual Conference. Training shall include but is not limited to this policy and its related procedures.

POLICY REVIEW

All abuse prevention policies will be reviewed annually.

CONCLUSION In all of our ministries we are committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child, youth, and vulnerable adult is “surrounded by steadfast love…established in the faith, and confi rmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II, United Methodist Hymnal, pg 44). This policy and associated procedures are effective as of July 1, 2008. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis in a manner determined by the Conference Leadership Team. Modifi cations will be made subject to the approval of the Conference Leadership Team. All such modifi cations will be promptly conveyed in writing to all persons affected by the modifi cation.

Adopted June 2008

SAFE SANCTUARIES ABUSE PREVENTION POLICY Minimum Standards for Abuse Prevention Policies of Local Ministry Settings

All local ministry settings of the annual conference shall have an Abuse Prevention (aka “Safe Sanctuaries”) Policy. All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s offi cial Safe Sanctuaries policy, unless approval for an alternative policy is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s offi ce. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s offi ce, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed policy [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the policy submitted or instructions to complete the Template form provided on the Oregon/Idaho Annual Conference website as the local ministry’s offi cial Safe Sanctuaries policy. Ministry settings are already required to provide their Safe Sanctuaries policy to the District Superintendent. The District Superintendents or their designees with support through the Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator will continue to review Safe Sanctuaries policies. If the policy submitted does not comply with minimum standards of legal requirements, the ministry will be contacted to either update their policy or to use the Template, whichever would more simply help reach the goals of compliance and coherence. All ministry settings that report annually to any District Superintendent will be required to use the following forms provided on the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference website: 32 Conference Policies

1. Voluntary Disclosure Form, 2. Waiver and Release, and 3. Incident Report; unless approval for use of alternative forms is received by application to the ministry’s District Superintendent’s ofﬁ ce. Such application for approval will require: 1. a request via email to an address provided by the District Superintendent’s ofﬁ ce, 2. a copy of the ministry setting’s proposed form [in Word format], and 3. the name and contact information for the person who makes this request on behalf of the ministry setting. The District Superintendent or their designee will contact the local ministry setting with either approval of the form submitted or instructions to use the form provided on the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference website.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE Our hope and belief today is that the church is a place where all people will ﬁ nd the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to grow and thrive.

We as the people of [Name of Ministry] are dedicated to preventing child abuse within our ministry and within our community.

1 We encourage congregations to share in a process that seeks scriptural and/or denominational context in recognizing that: God cares for all. God suffers when children youth, and vulnerable adults suffer, The United Methodist Church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God. As a congregation, [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulneralbe and support for survivors of sexual violence. This SAFE SANCTUARIES: ABUSE RISK REDUCTION AND PREVENTION POLICY is a core missional statement of this congregaiton. This section is an opportunity to highlight the above statements or similar ones coming out of this process. 33 Conference Policies DEFINITIONS • Abuse: intentional, negligent, or reckless behavior by a volunteer or staff person that is harmful, injurious, or offensive. Abuse takes many forms and includes, but is not limited to: physical abuse, neglect, self-neglect, abandonment, verbal and emotional abuse, fi nancial exploitation, sexual abuse, involuntary seclusion, and wrongful restraint.2 • Child Abuse: an act committed by a stranger, a parent, a caregiver, or a person in a position of trust, which is not accidental and which harms of threatens a child’s physical or mental health or a child’s welfare.3 • Physical Abuse: when an adult infures a child other than by accident; including, but not limited to: assault, battery, shaking, slapping, burning, scalding, kicking and strangling. • Sexual Abuse:4 1. any sexual contact or sexually explicit behavior initiated by an adult, youth or child toward a child; 2. any sexual contact or sexually explicit sexual behavior initiated by an adult toward a youth; 3. any nonconsensual sexual contact or nonconsensual sexually explicit behavior initiated by a youth toward another youth including, but not limited to sexual harassment and any sexual behavior by a youth toward another youth younger than 14 and where the initiating youth is three years older; 4. any sexual contact by anyone toward a vulnerable adult, or sexually explicity behavior by anyone toward a vulnerable adult where the vulnerable adult is unable to provide meaningful consent. • Emotional Abuse: verbal assault or emotional cruelty. • Adult: a person 18 years old or older. • Activities: any activity or programs in which children, youth, or vulnerable adults are under supervision of staff persons or volunteers. • Background Checks: researching references and records for indications of past or potential abusive and/or criminal activity. • Child: person from birth until they turn 12 years old. • Conference: The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. • Person-in-Charge [hereinafter, PIC]: staff person or volunteer who is the person responsible for the event or activity. • Prevention and Risk Reduction: Risk Reduction are those actions taken to lessen opportunity for sexual assault. Most policies focus exclusively on risk reduction, and do very little to prevent sexual abuse in the broader community. [Name of Ministry] is committed not only to lessening risk within congregational facilities and the activities, but [Name of Ministry] is also committed to Prevention of abuse by transformational ministry to survivors, justice and equity ministry, and social change.5 [Name of Ministry] recognizes that understanding the difference between Prevention and Risk Reduction is an important step in developing effective Prevention strategy.6 2 Wrongful restraint means the use of physical (i.e. tying, holding) or chemical (i.e. sedation) means to limit the movement of an adult for the convenience or discipline of a caregiver. 3 Harm includes taking a child into a dangerous place. In OR, for example, abuse is present when permitting a child to enter or remain in a place where methamphetamines are being manufactured. See ORS 163.537 4 Generally, in sexual abuse, a signifi cantly older, more powerful person initiates the behavior. However plase note that prevention also includes preventing peer abuse, inluding behavior such as inappropriate words or gestures, taking or showing sexually explicity photos of or to a child or youth, or exposing a child or youth to pornography or adult sexual activity. Abuse also occurs in similar situations regarding vulnerable adults where meaningful consent is unlikely. 5 Many professionals who work in the fi eld understand Prevention as applied in three phases: Primary, Second- ary and Tertiary Prevention of Sexual Abuse/Assault. Priary prevention engages everyone to keep sexual violence from happening. See the Center for Disease Control, Sexual Violence Prevention: Beginning the Dialogue, page 3 or link at http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/svprevention-a.pdf 6 Primary prevention work is cultural change consistent with the Gospel: God loves each person as God’s own. 34 Conference Policies

Often referred to as “moving upstream,” primary prevention directs us “upstream” to locate the place where the potential for victimization is created through social inequity. This concept is captured in the “Three Sisters” story, as told by Lisa Brunner from the Sacred Spirits First Nations Coalition’s “Three Sisters” story, recorded by Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence in 2012 and located at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1iIyvmXQ3JI Each sister represents a stage of prevention: Primary (preventing the violence before it occurs), Secondary (responding in the crisis including bystander intervention); and Tertiary (addressing the longer term impacts of the violence and supporting survivors through trauma). [Adapted from “Primary Prevention,” a “paper” of the Oregon Sexual Assault task Force, 2014]. 35 Conference Policies ABUSE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION AT [Name of Ministry] 1.

Topics may include: physical plant issues, issues related to various age groups, issues concerning abuse prevention and disabled persons, changes in laws, and other issues. 8 Such opportunities may take the form of an event or events in [Name of Ministry], or combined with other churches, or on through the District or Annual Conference. 9 Representation of [Name of Ministry] includes speaking or writing on behalf of the ministry to media sources; it may also include serving as chairperson for some committees or projects. 10 This training may be incorporated in the educational opportunity set forth in the section above, entitled, “STANDARDS FOR ABUSE AWAREMENSS AND PREVENTION,” under section #2, but must include some 36 Conference Policies

2. Our standard practice is that all children, youth, and vulnerable adults will be supervised by at least 2 unrelated adults and that no adult will be alone with children, youth, or vulnerable adult(s) out of sight of other adults.11 The minimum standard is an open space (open door, window, etc) such that activities can be observed and an adult who is assigned to periodically observe the activities. 3.

Contact the appropriate authorities (if the adult witness is designated as a “mandated or mandatory reporter” by state or federal law).13 Primary Prevention training and a reveiw of this policy. 11 Bathroom breaks with children old enough to manage on their own, youth, and vulnerable adults are to be coordinated in such a way that an adult checks the bathroom, then leaves and stands outside as children, youth or vulnerable adults of the same sex use the facility. No adult is to enter during the time the facility is in use unless there are clear indications of an emergency. For babies and younger children, two unrelated adults need to be present when diapers are being changed or at anytime a child needs to have clothes changed. 12 Falsely fi led, mailicious reports are illegal. However, unless the report is known beyond any doubt to be false, the process of reporting is required by [Name of Ministry]. Idaho law offers protection for good faith reporters of child abuse: “Any person who has reason to believe that a child has been abused, abandoned, or neglected and, acting upon that belief, makes a report of abuse, abandonment, or neglect as required by the reporting laws, shall have immunity from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed. Any such participant shall have the same immunity with respect to participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from such report. Any person who reports in bad faith or with malice shall not be protected by this section.” Idaho Code § 16-1606 Similarly, Oregon Law states: “Anyone participating in good faith in making a report of child abuse and who has reasonable grounds for the making thereof shall have immunity from any civil or criminal liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with respect to the making or content of such report. Any such participant shall have the same immunity with respect to participating in any judicial proceeding resulting from such report.” Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. §419B.025 13 Each state has a class of individuals who must report child abuse to the authorities if they are aware of it. Here, [Name of Ministry] is reminding those responsible for reporting to follow state law. If you are unsure, please fi nd your state requirements at https://www.rainn.org/public-policy/laws-in-your-state. This website is provided by RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. At the time of this writing, Oregon law includes: Medical personnel: Physicians, psychiatrists, surgeons, residents, interns, dentists, dentist hygienists, medical examiners, pathologists, osteopaths, coroners, Christian Science practitioners, chiropractors, podiatrists, 37 Conference Policies

3. The pastor or designee shall: a) Ascertain the general details needed to make an accurate report. b) Within 24 hours, write an incident report. The report should include the following information, if obtainable:14 (1) The name, address, age and sex of the alleged victim; (2) The name and address of the alleged victim’s parents or other person responsible for his/her care; (3) The nature and extent of the alleged abuse or neglect; (4) Any evidence of previously known or suspected abuse or neglect of the alleged victim or their siblings; (5) The name, address and relationship, if known, of the person who is alleged to have perpetrated the abuse or neglect; and (6) Any other information known to the person making the report that would be helpful to the investigation of the alleged abuse. c) Contact the appropriate State or law enforcement agency as soon as possible to fi le the abuse report and provide the aforementioned information and follow the instructions of the agency. d) Report the suspected child abuse to the child’s family (unless implicated in the allegation) and any agencies required by law. e) Report the suspected abuse to a District Superintendent of the Annual Conference within 24 hours of the initial report. 4. The alleged perpetrators of the abuse are to be excluded from future events involving children, youth and vulnerable adults until the incident report is resolved. In any removal of a person from any activities, care must be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is being conducted. POLICY REVIEW AND DISTRICT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS This abuse prevention policy will be reviewed annually at the charge or church conference.

This law applies to everyone. Anyone who suspects child abuse, neglect, or abandonment should make a child protection report. A report should be made if you see evidence of physical abuse or neglect of a child.” http://211.idaho.gov/elibrary/ childabuse.html 14 [Name of Ministry] will fi le the appropriate report. However, under no circumstances will staff or volunteers will take it upon themselves to launch an investigation outside of the general inquiry needed to write an incident report. If facts or unobtainable or someone resists, the person fi ling the report should note these facts without making demands or confronting the person who refused to answer. 38 Conference Policies reviewing body will include [Name of Ministry’s Reviewing Body]. An electronic copy or written copy of the policy will be provided each year to the District offi ce. CONCLUSION In all of our ministries we are committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each child, youth, and vulnerable adult is “surrounded by steadfast love...established in the faith, and confi rmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II, United Methodist Hymnal, pg 44).

Sexual Ethics Policy For Clergy1 of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference of Th e United Methodist Church.

Statement of Policy: Clergy and employees of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of Th e United Methodist Church shall not engage in sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment.

Th eological Foundation2 Th e 2004 Book of Discipline states in ¶161(G) the following. “We recognize that sexuality is God’s good gift to all persons. We believe persons may be fully human only when that gift is acknowledged and affi rmed by themselves, the church, and society. We call all persons to the disciplined, responsible fulfi llment of themselves, others, and society in the stewardship of this gift . We reject all sexual expressions that damage or destroy the humanity God has given us as birthright, and we affi rm only that sexual expression that enhances that same humanity. We believe that sexual relations where one or both partners are exploitive, abusive, or promiscuous are beyond the parameters of acceptable Christian behavior and are ultimately destructive to individuals, families, and the social order.” Sexual misconduct involves a misuse of the gift of sexuality. Acts that should signify the intimacy of a committed relationship between equal partners instead are tainted with ambivalence, confusion, guilt and sometimes fear. Secrecy, which oft en accompanies such acts, only reinforces these feelings and further signals that there is something “wrong” with the relationship. Sexual misconduct within a ministerial relationship leaves the victim bearing a burden of trauma attached to their expression of sexuality. Victims are thus robbed of the joyous celebration of the sacredness and dignity of their sexuality. God entrusts the workers in the church with the responsibilities of sharing both Holy love and the Divine Word. Our sexual behavior, like any of our behaviors, must comply with the highest standards of a Christ- like life. We in the church are expected to live in covenant with each other and hold each other to those standards. By being speakers of the Truth, persons are off ered freedom and redemption and God’s Grace can be employed for restoration of right relationships and alternative paths. 39 Conference Policies Defi nitions Clergy: Clergy membership of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference consists of Deacons and Elders in full connection, probationary members, associate members, affi liate members, local pastors and retired members within the meaning of ¶602.1 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. Clergy Relationship - A clergy relationship exists between a clergy person and any other person (i) when the other person is a parishioner of a congregation to which that clergy person was previously or is currently appointed, (ii) when the other person is supervised by, is a colleague with or receives ministry from a clergy person serving in any function for which he or she was ordained, licensed, hired or approved by the Annual Conference or its representatives, (iii) when a clergy person uses the authority of the clergy offi ce or role in establishing a relationship with the other person, and (iv) when the other person is a member of a community which recognizes the authority of the clergy person as a person in ministry (i.e. appointments beyond the local church and honorable location, retirement, leaves of absence and other situations in which a clergy person serves a community other than a local congregation). Clergy Sexual Misconduct: Clergy sexual misconduct occurs whenever a clergy person initiates or allows any sexual contact or behavior with a person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship and includes, but is not limited to, sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Th is includes the chargeable off enses listed in ¶2702 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. Clergy sexual misconduct must be understood primarily as an issue of the abuse of the power, trust, and status inherently present in any clergy relationship rather than an issue of the sexual morality of an individual clergy person. An inherent imbalance of power exists in any clergy relationship simply through the clergy role and totally separate from the clergy person’s character, personality and style of ministry. A similar imbalance of power can also exist when one clergy supervises another clergy. Th e same sacred trust inherent in ordination, consecration and licensing that makes eff ective ministry possible leaves persons in clergy relationships open and vulnerable. Th is predisposes those persons to believe that clergy shall act only in ways that will contribute to their well-being. Th e only appropriate and acceptable clergy response to the trust and power given to clergy through their role is ministry to the emotional, spiritual and temporal needs of those who come to them for help. A single clergy person may be involved in a romantic relationship within the parameters discussed in the following section. Clergy Sexual Misconduct In Context of Single Clergy Romantic Relationship- A single clergy person engaging in a romantic relationship with a single person with whom he or she has a clergy relationship does not necessarily commit sexual misconduct. Th e clergy person must be aware of the inherent imbalance of power that he or she has in this type of clergy relationship and take full responsibility for the related potential for harm. A single clergy person entering into this type of relationship bears the burden of demonstrating that there has been no exploitation in the relationship, in light of all relevant factors, including the personal history and mental status of the other person and the likelihood of an adverse impact on the person or on others. A clergy person should refrain from entering into a romantic relationship with a person with whom he or she currently has a pastoral counseling relationship. Should a pastoral counseling need arise for a person with whom the clergy person is romantically involved, that clergy person would make recommendations of two or three choices for pastoral or other professional counselors. Neither shall a single clergy person enter into a romantic relationship with a person whom he or she has had a pastoral counseling relationship for at least two years aft er cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling (consistent with the American Psychological Association Code of Ethics of 1992). Th e clergy person who engages in such activity aft er the two years following cessation or termination of the pastoral counseling relationship bears the burden of demonstration that there has been no exploitation, in light of all relevant factors, including the amount of time that has passed since the pastoral counseling 40 Conference Policies

relationship terminated, the nature and duration of the pastoral counseling, the circumstances of termination, the personal history of the counselee and others and any statements or actions made by the clergy person during the course of the pastoral counseling suggesting or inviting the possibility of a post-termination romantic relationship with the counselee. Sexual Abuse: Th e laws of both the States of Idaho and Oregon contain defi nitions of Sexual Abuse. Th ese legal descriptions constitute the primary defi nitions of Sexual Abuse used in this policy. (See ORS 163 & Idaho Statues 18-1506). In Summary, Sexual Abuse is an actual or attempted sexual invasion of the body by force and without full consent. Sexual abuse is any of, but not limited to, the following: rape, sexual assault (a forced sexual act against one’s will), incest, indecent exposure, statutory rape, involuntary, voluntary, or deviant sexual intercourse with a child, promotion of prostitution, pornography with children, indecent assault, and aggravated indecent assault. “Sexual abuse” as used in this policy is not limited to those matters that are defi ned as crimes by the states of Idaho and Oregon, nor are any of the specifi c elements that make certain activities crimes under the criminal codes of the states of Idaho and Oregon necessary to prove sexual abuse for the purposes of this policy. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is any sexually related behavior that is unwanted, off ensive or which fails to respect the rights of others. Th is behavior includes any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor or relationship and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or off ensive environment and/ or which is based on gender discrimination and/or perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating or coercive.

Sexual harassment can consist of a single intense or severe act or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts. Th ere are many possible scenarios in sexual harassment situations. Each situation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Types of unwanted conduct that constitute sexual harassment as listed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission include (but are not limited to): 1. Unsolicited and unnecessary touching, pinching, patting or closeness. 2. Sexist remarks about a person’s body or clothing. 3. Sexually degrading words to describe a person. 4. Repeated propositions or explicit demands for sexual activity. 5. Sexually suggestive pictures or objects in the work place or gathering place for the group or activity. 6. Judging a person by looks or body instead of ability. 7. Unsolicited suggestive looks or leers. 8. Unsolicited attempt to fondle or kiss. 9. Unsolicited sexual comments, teasing or telling of jokes with sexual context. 10. Unsolicited letters, calls or materials of a sexual nature. 11. Off er to use infl uence in return for sexual favor. Pastoral Counseling - Pastoral counseling is the special dimension of ministry in which a clergy person utilizes a variety of counseling perspectives and techniques to help people handle their problems and crises and thus work toward healing. A pastoral counseling relationship begins at the point that the clergy person and the person or persons seeking pastoral counseling explicitly agree to enter into a relationship wherein is understood that the clergy person shall apply special skills to assist the other person or persons in resolution of problems or crises. NOTE: Th e above defi nitions are provided solely for the purpose of this Sexual Ethics Policy. Th e defi nitions do not create any chargeable off enses pursuant to Th e Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. Th is policy does not sanction any conduct, which may constitute a chargeable off ense pursuant to Th e Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. 41 Conference Policies

Implementation Of Policy [Th is section updated June 2014] Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference commits itself to fast and expedient investigation of any charge of sexual misconduct within its churches and act in compliance with the current Book of Discipline. Th e Clergy Sexual Ethics policy is to be made available for all Clergy, church employees, and local churches of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference by annual publication in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Journal. District Superintendents are responsible for informing the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee members and members of the conference personnel committees of the Clergy Sexual Ethics policy. Th e following persons are required to complete an annual online knowledge test on the Sexual Ethics Policy: 1) all Oregon-Idaho clergy members (see defi nition of “clergy” above) and 2) all other clergy currently serving under appointment by the Oregon-Idaho Bishop. When requested, provisions will be made for the online test to be taken on paper and returned to the District Superintendent via the U.S. mail. Th e following persons are also required to attend one “Sexual Ethics, Abuse Prevention, and Healthy Boundaries” training off ered by the Board of Ordained Ministry each quadrennium: all clergy currently appointed by the Oregon-Idaho bishop and/or serving in a ministerial role in an Oregon-Idaho ministry setting. Th e Board of Ordained Ministry shall determine if a non-Board of Ordained Ministry training is equivalent to the training promoted by the Board of Ordained Ministry. Considerations will include the training’s number of contact hours, content, and the qualifi cations of the workshop leader(s). Applications for exemption from the required annual online test and the once per quadrennium training requirement shall be made in writing to the District Superintendent. Letters of approval for exemption shall be kept on fi le in the District Superintendent’s offi ce. Th e appropriate District Superintendent shall insure that lay persons assigned or appointed to ministry settings within Oregon-Idaho (including Lay Persons Assigned, Certifi ed Lay Members, Diaconal Ministers, Deaconesses, and Home Missioners) receive appropriate sexual ethics training and are knowledgeable about the Oregon-Idaho Conference Sexual Ethics Policy and standards for preventing sexual misconduct, abuse, and harassment. Clergy members who do not meet the above requirements shall have a letter of non-compliance placed in their permanent fi le. Noncompliance may result in disciplinary action initiated by the District Superintendent. Knowledge or information about clergy sexual misconduct should be reported to a district superintendent or the bishop. When allegations of clergy sexual misconduct are made, every attempt shall be made to have two District Superintendents (preferably one male and one female) investigate the matter by meeting fi rst with the accusing party, then with the accused. Where required, further information shall be gathered and a full report made to the Cabinet. Th e Bishop and the Cabinet shall make every eff ort to resolve allegations, complaints or charges in a timely manner and within the requirements of the current Book of Discipline. Further procedural recommendations are found in the appendix of this policy.

Making a Complaint A complaint about any clergy person in violation of this policy may be made to any District Superintendent, or the Bishop. A complaint against a clergy person that involves a child may also need to be reported to the proper authorities, but there are also laws that may prevent disclosure of information obtained during a confi dential discussion between a clergy person and another person seeking spiritual guidance from the clergy person. All complaints shall be dealt with promptly and in confi dence according to ¶362 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. Persons who report misconduct or fi le a complaint must not be subject to retaliation. Persons who have knowledge of alleged misconduct are expected to come forward. Persons who knowingly give false information or reports shall be disciplined. All investigations of clergy shall be conducted according to ¶¶2701-2706 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church. 42 Conference Policies Appendices to Sexual Ethics Policy for Clergy of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference of Th e United Methodist Church

Suggested Methods of Dealing with Allegations of a Clergy Sexual Misconduct

I. Incidents Involving Children under 18 Years Old (For the purposes of this section, sexual misconduct includes all forms of sexual misconduct except sexual harassment.) A. If any incident of sexual misconduct is known or suspected to have occurred involving clergy and a person under the age of 18, the nearest agency or authority charged with child protection must be contacted immediately and a report given. Th is report is mandatory as outlined by the Idaho Code § 16-1619(a), (c) (Supp. 1998) and Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 419B.010(1) & Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 419B.005(3)(h). However, there are also laws that may prevent disclosure of information obtained during a confi dential discussion between a clergy person and another person seeking spiritual guidance from the clergy person. B. Do not confront or discuss the incident with the alleged perpetrator. C. Contact the District Superintendent or other church authority to inform them of the report that you have made. II. Clergy Sexual Misconduct Against Persons 18 Years Old or Older (For the purposes of this section, sexual misconduct includes all forms of sexual misconduct except sexual harassment.) A. If a clergy commits an act of sexual misconduct against you: 1. Contact the Bishop or a district superintendent who shall act according to his/ her responsibility as outlined in ¶362.1 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of Th e United Methodist Church. In addition, the bishop or district superintendent may include third parties for mediation and consultation. 2. It is advisable to keep a journal which documents all incidents in question, including conversation and contacts with the person, dates, times, witnesses and descriptions of the incidents. 3.

CLERGY HOUSING STANDARDS AND POLICY

Responsibility for housing to be used by clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. A. The primary responsibility for clergy housing resides with the Administrative Board. One of the responsibilities, as defi ned by the 1984 Discipline, ¶256.c(f), is the “Review the recommendation of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee regarding the provision of adequate housing for the pastor(s), with attention to Annual Conference parsonage standards, and report the same to the Charge Conference for approval. It is the responsibility of the Administrative Board ot provide adequate housing for the pastor(s). Housing shall not be considered as part of compensation or remuneration, but shall be considered as a means provided for the local church, and for the convenience of the local church, to enable its ministry and the itinerant ministry of the Annual Conference.” See II below for church-owned parsonage standards, and III below for housing allowance standards. B. The Administrative Board may delegate administrative responsibility for clergy housing to the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee or to a Parsonage Committee. However, it is understood that ultimate responsibility resides with the Administrative Board. C. If a housing allowance is provided in lieu of a parsonage, it shall be reviewed annually prior to the adoption of the clergy salary package for the coming year by the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Provision shall be made for an adequate allowance. See III below. D. If a Parsonage Committee is established, membership is to be nominated by the Committee on Nominations and elected by the Charge Conference, or appointed by the Administrative Board. It is suggested that its membership include the following: One trustee selected by the Board of Trustees, one member of the Pastor-Parish Relationsh Committee, three members at large, the minister, the minister’s spouse. This committee, which should inspect the parsonage in April to determine if these housing recommendations are being maintained and refer to the Board of Trustees any recommendation for improvement, should meet at least annually, and should report to the Charge Conference. (Discipline, ¶267.2f, (4)) E. Parsonage recommendations and the defi nition of an adequate housing allowance (See IIIA) should apply to all ministers under appointment to a local church regardless of marital status or family size. F. If a church or charge does not have a parsonage, and no provision has been made to provide for a housing allowance, the church should either 1. Develop a plan to acquire a suitable parsonage with suffi cient funding for the purchase, or 2. Provide for an adequate housing allowance for the minister(s). (See IIIA) G. During the annual Charge Conference the District Superintendent may ask if the housing allowance provided by the local church is in compliance with Conference standards. Each local church is to be provided with a copy of the Clergy Housing Standards and Policy.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICY II. Church-owned Parsonage Recommendations A. The House 1. Ownership and Privacy. It should be recognized that a minister occupying a church-owned parsonage is in a relationship similar to that of a renter, with the church being understood as the landlord. The Discipline, ¶267.2f(4) says, “The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by the church as a place of privacy for the pastor’s family.” 2. Suggested minimum number of rooms: 3 bedrooms, dining area, kitchen, one and one-half (preferably two) baths, with adequate closet space in each, linen storage, garage and/or carport for a minimum of two automobiles, and storage for lawn equipment. 3. Additional desirable features: family room, extra bedroom or study space, bookshelves, fi replace with glass door and tools (alternative: modern wood-burning stove and accessories). 4. Energy Effi ciency: adequate heating plant with annual maintenance and modifi cations 45 Conference Policies

for current technology. Insulated windows and adequate insulation in walls and ceiling are essential. Air conditioning should be provided in any locality where the climate requires it. An energy audit should be made, and recommendations referred to the Board of Trustees. 5. Additional Essential Features a. All church-owned furnishings and equipment should be in good condition with regard to appearance and useability b. Adequate electrical outlets should be provided, including those for refrigerator- freezer facilities, air conditioning, television, and other devices. c. All windows should have blinds and/or draperies in good condition. d. Windows should provide adequate ventilation, and those which open should have accompanying screens. e. Floor covering in all areas should be in good condition and up-to-date. Consideration should be given to ease of maintenance. f. Fencing should be installed an maintained where necessary to provide protection, containment, and ample area for activities for small children. g. Dead-bolt locks, television antenna or cable installation, smoke alarm(s), and working doorbells should be provided. B. Furnishings and Equipment to be Provided 1. Kitchen, electric or gas range, refrigerator with minimum of 17 to 21 cubic feet of space, with a freezing compartment or a separate freezer; adequate cupboard space; adequate counter space with good fi nish. A dishwasher and disposal are highly recommended. Outlet and space for a microwave oven should be provided. 2. Laundry Area: current models of automatic washer and dry, in good operating condition. 3. Yard Care: power lawn mower, garden hoses and sprinklers, garden tools and equipment. 4. Telephone: two telephones should be provided. The telephone deposit and connection should be maintained by the church to prevent interruption between pastorates. 5. Consideration should be given to providing fl oor lamps in parsonages that have no overhead lights. 6. Condition: when furnishings and equipment are no longer in good condition with regard to appearance and usability, then should be removed and replace as soon as practical. Out-of- date items or the discards of others should not be placed in the parsonage. Decisions in this regard should reside with the Parsonage Committee and pastor. 7. Inventory: an up-to-date list of all parsonage furnishings, including dates of purchase, serial numbers, and related data should be kept, with copies to be fi led with the Parsonage Committee, church offi ce, and the District Superintendent. C. Care of Property 1. Insurance: coverage is normally provided by the church for all fi re and casualty losses, including public liability, including the replacement cost of the parsonage and church-owned furnishings and equipment. Clergy are responsible for insuring personal property, including furniture. 2. Repairs: an amount shall be provided in the local church budget for repairs and maintenance of the parsonage. (An amount equivalent to two percent [2%] of the value of the parsonage is recommended. This can be achieved by paying one-twelfth [1/12th] of the yearly amount each month into a special reserve, which should be cumulative.) 3. Interior and exterior painting should be provided as required to keep the house in good condition and appearance. 4. Operating Procedures: a. A formal agreement between the pastor and the church shall be instituted. The agreement shall clarify the expectations of both the church and the pastor with regard to the matters listed in this policy statement. A review upon the arrival of the incoming pastor and two weeks before the departure of the outgoing pastor is in order to conform to the agreement. (see revised sample form below) The clergy shall make a security/cleaning deposit to cover damage and cleaning costs for the parsonage. The deposit will be obtained via payroll deduction during the fi rst 6 months of the clergy use of the parsonage. The church will place the deposit in trust to be refunded at the end of the clergy appointment if the parsonage is in reasonable condition considering 46 Conference Policies

normal wear and tear. Any cleaning and damage costs incurred by the church for the parsonage would be deducted from the deposit. b. The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee in cooperation with the Board of Trustees shall be responsible for seeing that all necessary work is done to keep the parsonage up to these recommendations. c. An annual review should be made of the agreement, involving the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee and Board of Trustees, with the pastor’s family. d. The parsonage family should be consulted in the selection of applicances and furnishings, and their taste considered in determining color and plans for interior decorating. Neutral colors for drapes and carpets are recommended so as to fi t with whatever color décor of furnishings the parsonage family may bring into the parsonage. e. A parsonage history should be kept in the church fi les, providing age of the building, its assessed evaluation, dates and types of improvement, including purchases of appliances and a list of church-owned furnishings. Photos are desirable. f. The following information should be supplied to the minister by the Parsonage Committee in the form of a regular Parsonage Reference Manual containing: (1) Location of water shut-off valves and outside faucets including instructions on “winterizing” outside plumbing. (2) Locations and drawing for all electrical disconnect panels with appropriate labels on breakers/fuses. (3) Instructions on all appliances including lighting pilot lights in furnaces, water heaters and stoves. (4) Directions on the use of all power equipment including lawn mowers and other power tools belonging to the parsonage. (5) Instruction booklets for appliances. (6) Suggested list for service personnel and service providers (volunteers) within the church. (7) Schedule of regular maintenance to be carried out with the parsonage committee. (8) Any other information specifi c to the parsonage and grounds. 5. Prior to moving out of a parsonage, the parsonage family shall clean, or arrange and pay for the cleaning of the house, including carpets and rugs. If this is not done, the Parsonage Committee shall have the option of hiring the work done and deducting the expenses from the security/cleaning deposit before refunding the deposit to the outgoing pastor. D. General Suggestions 1. Ministers are encouraged to live in the parsonage(s) provided by the local church where the parsonage(s) is adequate according to these guidelines. Consultation between the church, District Superintendent, and the pastor should occur if the parsonage is not appropriate. 2. The parsonage is the home of the pastor and family and their rights and privacy should always be respected by members of the congregation. With rights comes responsibilities for the appearance and condition of the parsonage. The minister’s family and the Parsonage Committee should work together to exercise good care of tall parsonage property. (See IIA and IIC4 above.) 3. When the pastor moves, the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should see that the lights, telephone, and water are left connected. The deposit for public utilities should be provided by the church. 4. If a gift of furniture or furnishings is made, the donor should designate specifi cally if it is to remain in the parsonage or is a personal gift to the pastor. III. Housing Allowance Standards A. An adequate housing allowance may be defi ned as an amount suffi cient to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards of a church-owned parsonage and its furnishings and equipment (as defi ned by IIB). B. Churches are encourage to be attentive and responsive to the individual needs of minister with 47 Conference Policies

regard to housing. C. In the event that a church and its pastor are considering a change from a parsonage to a housing allowance, this is to be done in consultation with the District Superintendent and the District Committee on Church Location and Building. Thorough attention should be given to the advantages and disadvantages of such a change. A church should be prepared, through careful preservation of adequate assets, giving attention to market values and trends, to provide future housing which meet Conference standards. (Discipline, par. 2537 and 2538) D. Where the housing allowance is provided and in order to allow the minister maximum beneﬁ ts allowed by the Internal Revenue Service, the following guidelines are suggested: 1. For churches reporting to the Charge Conference and the District Superintendent, the amount designated for Housing Allowance should be the amount required to rent a house in the community that would meet the standards for a church-owned parsonage. Other amounts designated for housing allowance may be mutually agreed upon between the pastor and the church with the consent of the District Superintendent. Consideration should be given to costs of maintenance and repair that would otherwise be paid by the church to maintain a parsonage. The housing allowance is in addition to any amount designated for utilities. 2. For Federal Income Tax purposes, it is recommended that the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee make a separate allocation of total compensation including housing allowance as established by the Charge Conference in order to reﬂ ect the actual cost of providing a home. This designation should be made in a letter to the pastor in advance of the effective date. IV. Cabinet Policy Regarding the Sale of Parsonage See Conference Rule 12.062

The pastor will be responsible to replace or pay for broken and/or misused items. 4. It is the responsibility of the local church to maintain and replace for normal wear and usage all parsonage furnishings and equipment. 5. The costs of damage to the parsonage resulting from the activity of pets should be the responsibility of the parsonage family. 6. A meeting of the pastor and Pastor-Parish Relations Committee/Parsonage Committee should be held annually for review of the condition of the parsonage. It is the responsibility of the out-going pastor to see that the parsonage is thoroughly cleaned for his/her successor.

NATIVE AMERICAN WELCOME Native American drums gathered the 48th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference at 1:30pm. Duane Medicine-Crowe addressed the body with a greeting and welcome.

OPENING WORSHIP Opening worship was led by a team from the Meridian UMC. Bishop Grant Hagiya opened his sermon with a heartfelt expression of gratitude to each and every person in Oregon-Idaho who worked so hard to host General Conference last month in Portland. He reminded us that Sabbath-making is not about one day of the week, it is about how we live our lives as Christians.

CALL TO ORDER Bishop Grant Hagiya called the 48th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to order following worship.

ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIONS Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary, made the following motions to organize the work of the conference session: 1. Th e bar of the conference shall be established as the seats at the tables in the meeting room, including the tech booth but excluding the conference offi ce, the fl oor manager’s table, and any hospitality tables.

2. Th e conference staff , interpreters, readers, mentors, technicians, and pages who do not hold voting privileges are allowed the privilege of working within the bar of the conference.

3. Th e pre-conference reports are hereby accepted for changes and perfections as determined by annual conference actions.

4. Clergy members of other annual conferences currently serving within the bounds of the Oregon- Idaho Annual Conference under par. 346.1 of the Book of Discipline shall be allowed seats within the bar of the conference, with voice but no vote.

5. Our offi cial representatives from the Pacifi c Northwest Annual Conference shall be allowed seats within the bar of the conference, with voice but no vote.

6. Th e minutes of each plenary session will be posted on the conference website each day. Corrections should be given to the Conference Secretary. Passed.

INTRODUCTIONS Bishop Hagiya introduced those with him at the head platform: Paul Cosgrove, parliamentarian; Wendy Woodworth, agenda chair; Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary; and Mary Foote, conference lay leader. He also noted some special guests from the Pacifi c Northwest Annual Conference: Brant Henshaw, treasurer and Bill Gibson, director of congregational development.

75 76 Daily Proceedings Fred Hoadley introduced two guests who are representing the Collister Swahili-speaking United Methodist Fellowship.

GREATER NORTHWEST AREA UPDATE Th e bishop, along with Steve Ross and Gwen Drake, brought a report from the GNW Area, with four points: GNW Area Vision Statement: Th is is still in draft form at this point. Th e statement is based on a three- part foundation: “God is sought above ourselves; neighbors serve each other joyfully; our witness is loved out loud!” AC members are invited to off er feedback on the statement.

Bishop Jack and Marjorie Tuell Center for Excellence: Th e Center will be guided by a focus on innovation and experimentation in ministry; with accountability to outcomes. A launch team has been created to guide the development of this vision, including work on hiring an individual to serve as the director of the Center.

New Church Starts and Revitalization: OR-ID currently has eight new church starts; in 2015-16 there have been 24 ongoing new church starts in the GNW, with 35 diff erent congregations who have been resourced for new vitality. Steve introduced a concept called “vital.church,” which is based on real congregational renewal in our mission fi eld, and is directed at helping your church thrive where it is and honoring who you are (i.e. church vitality is contextual). Th e three areas of this initiative are “root, grow, and bloom.” Th ere will be more information and resources available later this summer and fall.

Listening Posts: Gwen noted that more information will be coming out soon. Th e listening posts will begin this fall, and will include the bishop, district superintendents, and our director of ministry and mission. Th e times and places will be announced in the coming months.

Bishop Hagiya affi rmed his belief that these eff orts will produce fruit over the long haul, not just in the short term. He closed the report with prayer.

NOMINATIONS REPORT Peg Lofsvold presented the nominations report, aff ectionately known as Big Pink. Th e major categories of leadership have been grouped together on the report. Th e codes (listed in parentheses) indicate year elected into this particular leadership role; district of home church; gender; ethnicity. Th e document is a work in progress and can be perfected through the use of the “little pink” correction forms found on the tables. She also asked AC members who know of good potential leaders to share those names.

EPISCOPAL NOMINATION Kate Conolly moved to suspend the May 1 deadline portion of Conference Rule 2.250 for the purpose of nominating Donna Pritchard as our endorsed candidate for the episcopacy. Seconded. Passed.

Kate moved the nomination of Donna Pritchard as our endorsed candidate for the episcopacy. Seconded. Th e tellers distributed paper ballots and then collected them. Th e vote was reported later in the session.

Th e bishop announced that the off ering for Red Lodge Transition Services during the opening worship was $1,621.26.

EQUITABLE COMPENSATION Ruth Marsh lift ed up the pre-conference report of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. She celebrated that again this year, beginning July 1, there will be ZERO churches on salary support!

For the calendar year of 2017 the Commission recommend total minimum compensation, including the use of a parsonage, to be set at the following rate: Elder in Full Connection/Associate Member: $37,850 Provisional Member: $36,050 Local Pastor: $34,050 Daily Proceedings 77 In addition, the minimum cash salary should be increased by $100 per year of service in the United Methodist Church, capped at a maximum of ten years or $1,000.

If an adequate parsonage is not available for the use of the pastor, then a housing allowance shall be paid in addition to the above minimum compensation. We recommend that housing allowance be set at $12,180 for most areas of the Annual Conference and $14,210 for areas with unusually high housing costs.

Th e Commission also recommends, but cannot require, that business and professional expenses, which are not part of a pastor’s compensation, be set at no less than $3,500 annually. Th is is the same amount as last year.

On behalf of the Commission, Ruth moved the adoption of the Equitable Compensation report (page 193 of this Journal), including the minimum salary amounts for elder in full connection/associate member, provisional member, and local pastor. Passed.

LEGISLATIVE FORUM Warren Light, co-coordinator of our legislative process (with Jeanne Knepper) came to the podium and explained that the Legislative Assembly met in April and again for a late session last night, June 15. Th e second session was due, in part, to petitions that were submitted in response to actions of the General Conference in May. Th e Assembly recommended four pieces of legislation to come to the Annual Conference body. Information about these proposals has been emailed to all AC members.

Warren moved the adoption of the Consent Calendar Action Request (CCAR).

Mark Bateman raised a point of order concerning Rule 2.041, which states, “Th e Legislative Assembly will provide with any submission of a consent calendar to Annual Conference a full list of Legislative Assembly members present and voting, and appropriate information regarding representative membership.” Th is information was not included with the 2016 Consent Calendars. Th e list of members of the Legislative Assembly was read by the conference secretary, but voting on the second Consent Calendar was postponed until “appropriate information regarding representative membership” could be obtained.

ORDER OF THE DAY: NATIVE AMERICAN PRESENTATION Eva Johnson off ered some history concerning the United Methodist Church’s relationship with indigenous peoples in this country. Eva testifi ed to the power of the drums that opened our worship this aft ernoon. She read the names of elders who have been signifi cant in her life, affi rming her place in that line of leaders. Lowell Greathouse talked about the ongoing work of repentance. Since the Act of Repentance at the 2015 Annual Conference, many churches have continued that work. Lowell shared a video witness from Oregon-Idaho churches who have intentionally engaged in Acts of Repentance over the past year. 78 Daily Proceedings Mary Foote and Regina Wheeler talked together about the highlights of Native American ministry in Oregon-Idaho. Regina shared her hopes for the future for Native Americans here in our annual conference (one hope in particular: she would like to see more Native Americans serving on conference committees!).

Eva off ered some refl ections on possibilities for moving forward. She shared a story about shift ing her mindset from “historical trauma” to “historical strength.” Th en she invited AC members to write ideas for the future on the cards that are on the tables, and drop them in the baskets at the doors as they leave.

PRAYER AND PRAISE Th e Montavilla UMC worship team led the gathered body in 20 minutes of breathing, singing, and praying together.

WORDS FROM OUR RETIREES We will have the opportunity throughout our annual conference session to hear, via video clips, some refl ections from each retiring clergy member. Th is morning we heard from Fred Hoadley, Jon Langenwalter, and Bob Reasoner.

MINISTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM Lowell Greathouse, ministry and mission coordinator, and Mary Foote, conference lay leader, presented the Ministry Leadership Team Report: “A Look at Our Annual Conference Family Album.” Th ere is a copy of a DVD available for each church (Becky Delurey has these), about exploring ministry, “signs of life in the OR-ID Annual Conference.” We are better together! Th e AC members were asked to spend some time around their tables on some refl ection questions: • In what ways did you live out your call as a church in your community this year? • How did your congregation make a diff erence in the word? • What brought you the greatest sense of joy and satisfaction as a Christian community?

COUNCIL ON FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Wendy Woodworth, president of CF&A, reminded us of our theme of Sabbath rest, which oft en includes a time of refl ection. Wendy invited us to take a step back, to refl ect, and to ask: Where is there faithfulness? Where is there room for growth? Th is past year the CF&A has taken a step back, together with the conference Board of Pensions, in order to refl ect on where we are in terms of the divestment issues the annual conference raised last year at annual conference. David Beckett, pastor of the Bend UMC, reported on what that church has done over the past few years in their own process of stepping back, refl ecting, and allowing holy space for the Spirit to do its work of transformation. Wendy highlighted our faithfulness in terms of connectional giving: we have paid 100% of our general and jurisdictional apportionments for two years in a row! Jodi Chadwell, from the General Council on Finance & Administration, personally congratulated and thanked Oregon-Idaho for this act of stewardship. She also Daily Proceedings 79 shared a video that gave the AC members a glimpse of what this giving supports in the general church. Finally, Wendy gave each AC member a mug (with the 2016 AC Sabbath logo), so that we can continue to refl ect on how it is that God has fi lled our cups to overfl owing. Th e report concluded with a time of singing and “toasting” with our mugs!

BOARD OF PENSIONS AND HEALTH BENEFITS Peg Lofsvold, who is the district superintendent assigned to the conference Board of Pensions, led us through this report. Peg lift ed up the responsibilities and activities of the BOP over the past year: • exercise fi duciary responsibility of behalf of the benefi ciaries, and the Church’s mission and ministries • oversee management of all benefi ts provided to retired and active clergy and any lay staff who are part of the plans • balance ministry setting and individual costs • in 2015-16, participated in the Divestment Work Group as a response to the divestment action request adopted by the 2015 AC Session • In 2015-16, developed proposed strategy for next two years in the midst of increasing health insurance costs.

All our retirement plans are fully funded. Th e actuarial tables are being revised by the General Board so that our plans can be monitored closely in order to maintain suffi cient funding in the midst of market fl uctuations.

Peg moved the adoption of the following recommendations, as printed in the pre-conference reports:

1. Eff ective January 1, 2017, the Pre-82 (MRPF) past service rate for ordained clergy and local pastors shall be $600 per service year, with 70 percent continuing payment to the surviving spouse, and that Addendum A of the Clergy Retirement Security Program be so amended. 2. Concerning the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): Th e Conference Treasurer will bill each local church for CRSP at the rate of 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation (including cash salary plus utilities and housing allowance [25% of cash salary if parsonage is provided]) for eligible clergy. Cash salary includes deductions from payroll and any contributions toward social security. Local churches served by retired clergy are exempt from this billing. 3. Th e Conference Treasurer will bill each local church (with a pastor appointed three-quarter time or full time) at a rate of 3.0 percent of the pastor’s plan compensation for the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) for eligible clergy. 4. Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 16-18, 2016, approves the Addendum: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. 5. Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference meeting in Salem, Oregon, June 16-18, 2016 approves the 2017 Comprehensive Benefi t Funding Plan for the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, as submitted by the Conference Board of Pensions and approved by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts.

Belinda Denicola noted that #3 needs to be corrected to 3%, due to legislation passed at General Conference (note: the recommendation has been corrected in this motion, although the pre-conference report still shows the original fi gure).

Th e bishop called for the vote on all fi ve recommendations. Passed.

Peg shared some of the challenges the Board has been struggling with as we strive to off er health and wellness benefi ts. We have a signifi cantly changing landscape, with increased cost-sharing as part of increased accountability. We have seen very high claims cost for the annual conference, especially in this last year. Health insurance premiums are a driving factor in the decision to decrease clergy from fulltime equivalence in local churches. It is imperative that we keep our claims rate at under 100%. In 2015 our claims ratio was 148%. In 2017 there will be a 12% increase in our cost to the local churches--this is a capped dollar amount; otherwise it would be much higher. Th e BOP has formed a Health Insurance Work 80 Daily Proceedings Group, which has communicated with churches and clergy already, and will continue to do so. Here are the recommendations for 2017: • manage the costs and prepare for 2018 changes • no change to local church billed premium amount in 2017 • continue to off er the same two plans in 2017 **traditional PPO **Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP) • two changes: **make CDHP default at open enrollment **PPO cost-sharing goes up to $125/month for single or $175/month for spouse/dependents

Changes in 2018: o move to cafeteria-like plan off ered by GBOPHB o local churches will contribute a defi ned amount to health insurance for clergy o plan participant can choose among multiple plans to best suit their health and budget needs o if more expensive plan is chosen, the participant pays the diff erence o if less expensive plan is chosen, the participant receives the diff erence in a health-related account (HRA or HAS)

Recommendations (Health Benefi ts) 1. Th e Conference Board of Pensions, in consultation with the Council on Finance and Administration, is authorized to adjust the Conference Budget for Health Insurance Premiums and the monthly billed amount between sessions of the Annual Conference, if necessary, due to the receipt of new premium rate information from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts. 2. Th e Conference Board of Pensions is authorized to adopt new eligibility policies as required by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts for the HealthFlex Program. Th ese policies may include procedures for the cancellation of coverage due to various circumstances. Th e eff ective date of these policies will be determined as required by the General Board. 3. Th e Conference Treasurer is authorized to bill 100 percent of Health Care Insurance Premiums to local ministry settings. Twenty-fi ve dollars will be billed to single participants on the CDHP and $75 to participants with spouse/dependent CDHP coverage. Monthly, $125 will be billed to single participants on the PPO plan and $175 to participants with spouse/dependent PPO coverage. 4. Th e active HealthFlex plan will be either choice (1) PPO B1000 OR choice (2) the Consumer Driven Health Plan – (CDHP). Both plans come with a prescription percentage co-pay plan. Th e CDHP will be the default plan. 5. Th e retiree health insurance plan is a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) stipend based on the number of years of service in the Oregon-Idaho and Alaska Conferences per the table in the pre-conference report. 6. Th e following Health Insurance policies will be continued: a. No premium subsidy or stipend will be granted to participants retiring prior to the age of their Medicare eligibility. Th ey shall be responsible for the full payment of their health insurance premium. Th ose who are eligible to retire under the forty-year rule (¶358.2c)) will be granted an exception to receive the retired subsidy or stipend for their medical expenses. Upon reaching the age for Medicare eligibility, and enrolling in the Medicare program, the clergy member shall be eligible for conference subsidy or stipend based on the then current schedule as approved by the annual conference. b. Th e conference shall pay 100 percent of the premium payment for those persons eligible for benefi ts under the CPP Disability program. Aft er one year the conference will pay the premium for the participant and 50 percent of the premium for the spouse and/or family.

Th ere was an extended time for questions and answers, and then Peg led us in prayer before voting on the six recommendations. Passed.

BREAK Tom Wilson, the director of the United Methodist Foundation, briefl y addressed the Annual Conference, and invited the conference folks to enjoy coff ee during the break, as a gift from the Foundation. Daily Proceedings 81 Th e off ering last night for Hispanic Ministries raised $995.80. Bishop Hagiya wanted it to be an even thousand, so he added a $5 bill to the pot!

ORDER OF THE DAY: CHURCH CLOSURES Erin Martin, superintendent of the Columbia District, prayerfully brought us news of the lives of two church communities on the Columbia District, Capitol Hill UMC and Woodlawn UMC, and then brought two motions for church closure:

Erin moved that the Capitol Hill United Methodist Church be discontinued eff ective July 1, 2016 and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2549 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Erin moved that the Woodlawn United Methodist Church be discontinued eff ective July 1, 2016 and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2549 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Gwen Drake, superintendent of the Crater Lake District, brought the history of the Dillard-Winston United Methodist Church to the annual conference. Nearly 120 years aft er its founding, the church now needs action from the conference to complete its history.

Gwen moved that the Dillard-Winston United Methodist Church be discontinued eff ective July 1, 2016 and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to Paragraph 2549 of the Book of Discipline. Passed.

Peg Lofsvold, superintendent of the Cascadia District, shared the story of the Dundee United Methodist Church, and then off ered this motion:

Peg moved that Dundee United Methodist Church, declared abandoned on September 2, 2015, be discontinued eff ective July 1, 2016 and that the real and personal, tangible and intangible property shall be transferred to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference Board of Trustees, according to ¶2549 of Th e Book of Discipline. Passed.

Bishop Hagiya led the body in prayer for all of the stories, ministries, and people of these four churches.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE Steve Ross reminded us that even in our grief, we always have hope. He pointed out that closing a church is not a failure—it is part of a life cycle, which oft en includes not only death, but birth. Th e mission of God goes on!

LEGISLATIVE ACTION Warren Light returned to the podium and reported on the follow-up to Mark Bateman’s point of order, which was raised yesterday. He highlighted Rule 2.041, which ends with this sentence: “Th e Legislative Assembly will provide with any submission of a consent calendar to Annual Conference a full list of Legislative Assembly members present and voting, and appropriate information regarding representative membership.” Because the rule specifi cally does not use the phrase “demographic information,” Warren pointed out that we have intentionally avoided sharing such information as race, sexual identity, gender, age, ability/disability, etc. Basic information about the identity of the Legislative Assembly members was provided on the conference website.

Warren did present some additional information about the makeup of the Legislative Assembly: 13 lay, 12 clergy; all districts were represented; ages ranged from those born under the second Roosevelt administration to a person born in the fi rst term of the Clinton administration; race and gender 82 Daily Proceedings percentages were taken into account in the makeup of the Assembly, with percentages similar to the AC; there was an intentional naming of diff erent “political/theological” perspectives, especially through the District-named persons. Warren concluded with this statement: “District Superintendents and the Legislative Team ask for some measure of trust in composing the Legislative Assembly in our commitment to hear from persons with a variety of life experience without connecting persons to labels based on commitment of demographic categories.”

Warren moved the adoption of the Consent Calendar Standing Resolutions (CCSR). Passed.

WORDS FROM OUR RETIREES Th e next video highlighted refl ections from Jody Felton, Bill Gates, and Tuinauvai Fuapau.

LUNCH BREAK

WORDS FROM OUR RETIREES Another video was shown, with refl ections from Rinya Frisbie, Jim Frisbie, and Al Trachsel.

LAY LEADER’S ADDRESS Mary Foote, conference lay leader, began with a prayer by Richard Chichester. Mary shared that the most important thing she wants to communicate in her fi nal address is THANK YOU! But she also affi rmed that her gratitude comes directly from her faith in the amazing grace of God, experienced through God’s son, Jesus Christ.

COUNCIL ON FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION REPORT Wendy returned to the podium and invited forward Belinda Denicola, our outgoing conference treasurer and benefi ts offi cer. Belinda has served faithfully for two years, and we are sad to see her leave, although we rejoice that she will be able to return to her family in Louisiana. Dan Benson, a member of CF&A, assisted Wendy in presenting gift s of our gratitude to Belinda.

Wendy then invited Dan Wilson-Fey to come forward, as she brought forth a recommendation from the CF&A to elect Dan as the new conference treasurer and chief benefi ts offi cer for the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. Passed.

Dan Benson off ered a prayer for both Belinda and Dan, as we give thanks for each of them.

Wendy led an overview of the budget, highlighting some of the changes from last year’s budget. Th e total apportioned budget ($3,746,156) is exactly the same as the total apportioned budget for 2016.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES Larry McClure, chair of the Conference Board of Trustees, reminded us (only partly in jest) that if your church is planning to close, please clean out all the “stuff ” first! Larry gave a heads up that district superintendents will likely be checking at charge conferences this fall to make sure that all local church deeds include the UMC trust clause. Larry gave a brief update about the conference center remodeling, which includes the issue of the ownership of the land that the Center sits on (part of which is owned by Portland First UMC). He also noted that the Trustees are working on the possibility of a conference-wide insurance policy.

Larry reported on the United Methodist Retirement Center in Salem: Pursuant to Paragraph 2517 in the Book of Discipline, and aft er two years of careful work by the Board of the United Methodist Retirement Daily Proceedings 83 Center and representatives of the Board of Trustees, the governing documents of the Retirement Center in Salem, Oregon (known as Willson House and Jason Lee Manor) have been amended. Th e Board has clarifi ed its legal relationship with the Annual Conference, which ended in 1988. United Methodists may still serve on the Center board, but a membership quota on the Board is no longer required. Our historic connection is still honored. Founded as a mission by Methodist women in 1910, United Methodist Women have had close ties with this senior independent living and residential care facility. Local units have long provided support and hospitality to the residents, which will continue in the future. Th e Center, doing business as Willson House, will operate as a private, non-profi t organization, without reference to the United Methodist Church in its branding. Larry expressed thanks to Peg Lofsvold who has patiently shepherded this process for many months.

MINISTRY LEADERSHIP REPORT Steve Ross and Joshua Bynum off ered a report on “Th ings You May Not Know.” Celebrating the past is important, but it’s also crucial to look around to see the signs of God’s kingdom that are already happening around us. Th ey off ered a “quiz” to lift up many of those signs.

DIVESTMENT REPORT Wendy Woodworth (standing in for Danna Drum from the Board of Pensions) and Dee Poujade gave a report in response to last year’s annual conference action to work on divestment of specifi c investments. Dee briefl y recapped how we got to this point, outlining the occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel. Oregon-Idaho has a Holy Land Task Force, which submitted the 2015 action request for divestment from Caterpillar, Motorola, and Hewlett-Packard (passed by the AC). Th is past fall, Danna brought together a diverse group of folks to address the action request. Wendy shared that the “bean counters” and the “social justice advocates” discovered that they share similar values and were not actually at odds with one another. Th ey committed to working together through diffi cult and sometimes polarizing issues. We believe that we may be the fi rst annual conference to use this collaborative approach to deal with the issue of divestment. First, the group identifi ed our funds, and next they asked “How much divestment?” Th e third step was to examine a number of diff erent scenarios for moving forward: 1) Continue with Wespath (GBOPH); 2) Invest with a private broker; 3) Invest with Wespath in new ways, such as through a new equity fund, while minimizing exposure to companies named in the action request. Th e group fi nally decided to work towards Option 3, which is a hybrid model. Th e conference agencies entrusted with fi scal responsibility for Oregon-Idaho all approved this option, so work will move ahead in this direction following this annual conference.

IMAGINE NO MALARIA Julia Frisbie introduced Jennifer Rodia from United Methodist Communications. Jennifer thanked the annual conference for our amazing, life-saving work in support of Imagine No Malaria. We surpassed our goals not only for the Episcopal Area, but for the annual conference! Emilie Kroen off ered Julia a gift in thanks for her leadership with our campaign. We are also the recipients of a gift from the general church: the song, “Our God is Able” that was written specifi cally for the Imagine No Malaria campaign, and is available for free download!

BREAK

GENERAL CONFERENCE DELEGATION REPORT Our 2016 GC delegation began their report with a video recap of the conference. Jan Nelson, head of the delegation, asked each delegation member to share ONE word that describes GC: diverse, passionate, relationships, amazing, hopeful, but, vulnerability, necessary, complex, trust, obey! Jan reported on the six petitions that Oregon-Idaho submitted to GC. Th ree had to do with fossil fuels; all three were rejected. Two related to divestment; both of those were also rejected. One petition asked for a name change for the Board of Ordained Ministry; this one passed, but it had been so completely changed by amendment that it bore no relationship to the original! Donna Pritchard, fi rst elected clergy delegate, talked about the process of “debating how to debate.” Th e alternative legislative process recommended by the General Commission on the GC was eventually rejected—but only aft er lengthy and divisive debate. Donna reported on a request to the Council of Bishops to fi nd a way forward. eTh COB recommended that all 2016 GC legislation related to human sexuality be tabled, and the Council would name a special 84 Daily Proceedings commission to examine all paragraphs in the Book of Discipline dealing with human sexuality. Th is commission may conclude with a special called session of the GC before 2020. Jan reminded us that, although General Conference matters, what really matters is what we do every day in our local ministry settings right here in Oregon-Idaho—and we need to continue to pray. Jan thanked the delegation for their patient and faithful work. Jan also lift ed up the work of Laura Jaquith Bartlett, director of worship and music for General Conference, and her worship team.

GENERAL CONFERENCE HOSTING REPORT Bill Haden, chair of the Local Host Committee, addressed the annual conference one last time in this role he has held for well over fi ve years. He reminded us that we had over 700 volunteers off ering radical hospitality. Not only did Oregon-Idaho provide a large chunk of those volunteers, but we also had signifi cant volunteer support from the other annual conferences of the entire Western Jurisdiction.

Th e bishop asked for a vote about whether or not we need to wait to consider the late legislation. Th e vote appeared to be even, so the bishop ruled that it would be best to delay action on this legislation until tomorrow. We will hold Mary’s motion until tomorrow. Daily Proceedings 85 On behalf of the Legislative Assembly, Warren moved the adoption of AR02, Rule Change, Legislative Assembly Membership.

Mary Frances Gunn moved to add, aft er line 2 on page 6, aft er the statement: “if the Legislative Assembly member is unable to attend, an equitable and representative person may be chosen by the representative entity as a replacement” these words: “No more than one-half of the membership of the Legislative Assembly shall be changed every two years in order to help promote stability.” Seconded.

Brett Strobel made the motion that we act on Duane’s suggestion. Seconded.

Eilidh Lowery moved to amend by eliminating the phrase, “neither our own Board” and replace with the phrase “neither our own clergy.” Seconded.

Donna Pritchard moved to amend by changing the phrase, “Like our denomination, neither our own Board nor our own Conference membership or our Clergy Session is of one mind in this statement…” to “Like our denomination, neither our own clergy session nor our own conference membership is of one mind….” And to further amend by changing the paragraph that begins “We hold our candidates” to: “We commit to participate fully in the ministerial covenant with our colleagues of all sexual orientations and gender identities.”

Marshall Wattman-Turner moved to refer the matter to the BOM, to come back with a recommendation about a process to deal with it that would not be a simply up/down vote. Seconded. Failed.

Voting moved to the Pritchard amendment.

June Fothergill moved to keep the sentence: We hold our candidates to high standards for fi tness, readiness and eff ectiveness in ministry. Seconded.

Jeanne Knepper moved to amend by substituting: “We hold ourselves to high standards…” Seconded. Passed.

Voting moved to the Fothergill amendment as substituted. Passed.

Voting moved to the Pritchard amendment as substituted. Passed.

Voting moved to the E. Lowery motion as substituted. Passed.

Th e question was called. Seconded. Passed.

Voting moved to the main motion as amended. Th e text of the letter to be voted on is: We the Clergy Session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference believe this is a crucial time to declare how we operate in our work with those called by God into ordained ministry. Because we have been a Reconciling Conference since 1996, because we have seen the gift s and graces for ministry in LGBTQ persons and have seen these same gift s too oft en denied, and because we hope to help lead change in our denomination’s policy regarding LGBTQ persons in ordained ministry, we welcome all candidates as children of God as they discern God’s call and claim upon them for ordained ministry. Daily Proceedings 93 We hold ourselves to high standards for fi tness, readiness, and eff ectiveness in ministry. We commit to participate fully in the ministerial covenant with our colleagues of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Like our denomination, neither our own clergy session nor our own conference membership is of one mind in this statement, and so, we pray for the Spirit of God to continue to move in our board Oregon- Idaho Clergy Session*, our conference and our denomination. Passed.

[*Note that the fi nal sentence was later amended to replace the word “board” with “Oregon-Idaho Clergy Session” in an adjourned session on Friday aft ernoon, June 17.]

John Grimstead asked for a decision of law from Bishop Hagiya. Th e question, as presented in writing, is: “Bishop, is the statement adopted by the clergy session in keeping with the Book of Discipline?” Seconded.

Th e bishop instructed that a vote was needed to take this action, with 20% voting in favor in order to affi rm the action. Upheld. [27-81]

Anna Cho arrived at the Clergy Session so we returned to Question 28. Jeff Lowery introduced Anna, who read her Th eology of Ministry Statement.

Q28. Who are elected as provisional members and what seminary are they attending, if in school? Richard Albert Shewell, St. Paul School of Th eology [voted on earlier in the Session] Anna Cho, Claremont School of Th eology

Clay off ered a prayer of thanksgiving.

Bishop Hagiya closed in prayer at 11:24 am.

ADJOURNED CLERGY SESSION JUNE 17, 2017 Bishop Hagiya called the clergy session into order at 5:08 pm. He asked the body for permission to allow our tech staff to stay in the room so that we might have sound and video support. Permission was granted.

Th e bishop asked the conference secretary to read John Grimstead’s request (from June 16) for a decision of law from the bishop, then Laura read the Clergy Session statement as it was passed by the clergy session.

Th e bishop reported his belief that the statement is aspirational in nature. Th e key line is the last phrase in paragraph 2: “…we welcome all candidates as children of God as they discern God’s call and claim upon them for ordained ministry.” Welcoming all candidates is not a statement against the Discipline. He fi nds no violation of the Discipline. His ruling is that it is constitutional.

Th e bishop also noted that all our deliberations are confi dential, so we are bound by that covenant of confi dentiality, which means that this statement cannot be shared beyond the clergy session.

Ruth Marsh moved that this statement be made public upon a vote of this body. Seconded.

Peggy Luckman moved to amend the word “board” to “Oregon-Idaho Clergy Session.” Seconded. Passed.

Voting moved to the Marsh motion as amended. Passed. 94 Daily Proceedings John Grimstead moved to appeal the bishop’s ruling to the Judicial Council. Seconded. Th e bishop asked for a standing vote to determine if one-fi ft h of the voting body would support the appeal. Th e vote was 13 in favor, 58 against, and 11 abstentions, so the appeal was not supported. [NOTE: subsequent research uncovered Judicial Council Decision 1244, ruling that the phrase “when such appeal has been made by one-fi ft h of that conference present and voting” in paragraph 2609.6 is null and void, so this vote was unnecessary.]

Christina Th ompson off ered prayer.

Bishop Hagiya asked if the body would be interested in establishing a task force to help guide further conversation on this issue, with some action points for moving forward. Th e bishop asked for those interested in being on the task force to come let him know.

Th e bishop ended the session at 5:28 pm. Commissioning & Retirement 95

103 104 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 1. ALIGNING INVESTMENTS WITH VALUES REGARDING PALESTINE AND ISRAEL (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We support a call for all Oregon-Idaho United Methodist boards and agencies, districts, local churches and individuals to prayerfully consider avoiding companies involved in Israel’s occupation of Palestine when making investment decisions; and Encourage United Methodists to partner with Jews, Christians, Muslims and other people of conscience working for corporate accountability, human rights, true peace and security for all people in Israel and Palestine, and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

2. BAN ON TORTURE (2008, 2011, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We support a ban on torture in any form by the U.S. government, its agencies, agents, military or the use of non-U.S. government entities to torture on its behalf.

3. BRING U.S. GOVERNMENT DRONE MISSILE STRIKES UNDER OVERSIGHT (2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation For Social Action All people of faith in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference who follow Jesus’ teachings are called upon to: 1. Oppose killing of other people, whoever they are and by whatever means, because it violates Jesus’ teachings; and oppose all drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists (and innocent civilians) in countries where war is not declared. Drone killings run counter to our UMC statement: “We believe all human life is sacred and created by God and therefore we must see all human life as signifi cant and valuable” [Social Principles 164:G, p 619]. 2. Insist our President, Senators and Representatives to follow the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11, that declares that “everyone charged with a penal off ense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.” Our U.S. Bill of Rights, Amendments 4 to 8 uphold similar statements. Every person deserves justice and should be presumed innocent until being proved guilty. 3. Insist the Executive Branch provide information on attack results, whenever legal drone strikes are undertaken. 4. Urge our government to help formulate an international treaty that would agree to placing restraints on drone usage, similar to a nuclear weapons ban treaty.

4. CALL TO CIVILITY (2010, 2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation For Social Action “Civility is more than a rule for polite conduct. It is a way of life formed around values that unite rather than divide.” Th ese words of Will Rogers are no less true today than when he said them during the Great Depression. In today’s highly polarized cultural environment, incivility has become systemic, spreading corrosively like a cancer in our communities, our nation and the body politic. As Persons of faith it is our individual as well as corporate responsibility to call for and to embody the civility refl ective of the gospel values that unite us. Th erefore, we call upon all United Methodists, clergy, and laity, to act as agents of peace, tolerance and mutual respect of all persons. Further, every United Methodist is called upon to challenge with civility those persons and media who promote hate, fear, misinformation and lies. Civility is the currency of civilization, of community. Civility is not an issue of ideology or political affi liation, it is an issue at the core of our gospel faith.

5. CALL TO SUPPORT LABELING OF GMO FOODS AND “FOOD PRODUCTS” (2013) Sponsor: Pat Bath, UMW President for Newman UMC in Grants Pass, OR Many foods and food products are altered genetially. Th e American people should be able to choose whether they want to be able to eat GMO’s (genetially modifi ed organisms) or not. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 105 Without appropriate labeling, we don not know what we are eating; we are uninformed about waht is being put in our bodies. All European countries ban or label GMO foods. However, in the United States, individuals and families are not being given a choie because we are refused access to know which products are GMO’s. We, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, support labeling GMO’s. We urge companies to label their GMO products so that consumers can make informed choices. Finally we urge our political leaders to enact rules requiring the labeling of GMO’s.

6. CHILDREN OF SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (2007, 2010, 2013, updated 2016) Sponsor: University Park UMC, Morningside UMC, Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists Th e 2000 Census established that same-gender couples are rearing children in Th e United States. Th ese families reside in 96% of all counties in the country. Children of same-gender parents oft en experience economic, legal, and familial insecurity when their bonds to non-biological parents are not legally recognized. Legal recognition of same-gender relationships increases the ability of adult couples to provide and care for one another and fosters a nurturing and secure environment for their children.

Th e literature on outcomes for children of same-sex parents is marked by scientifi c consensus that 25 they experience “no diff erences” compared to children from other parental confi gurations. (Adams 26 and Light, 2015)1

Th e United Methodist Church believes “the family to be the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect, and fi delity” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]; and “encourage[s] social, economic, and religious eff orts to maintain and strengthen relationships within families” [Paragraph 161A, page 99, 2004 Discipline]. We conclude that civil marriage, civil unions, and legally recognized domestic partnerships are benefi cial to children, regardless of the gender of the parents, because they strengthen families. Th ey foster fi nancial and legal security, psychological and social stability, and an enhanced sense of societal acceptance and support. We support eff orts to legally recognize same-gender relationships and claim that laws which limit recognition of the full rights of same-gender marriages and relationships actively harm the health and well-being of children all over the nation.

7. CLIMATE CHANGE (2005, revised 2008, revised 2011, revised and renamed, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We resolve to take positive action to curb emissions which contribute to global climate change. As stewards of God’s creation we acknowledge our way of living, specifi cally our use of energy, creates emissions that aff ect the climate and threaten all life. We resolve to support the creation of laws and policies that will lead to decreases in the dangerous emissions that threaten our planet. We encourage members to take simple steps to reduce greenhouse gas emission by driving conscientiously, by conserving energy in homes and workplaces, and by using alternative energy sources whenever possible. We recognize that the global climate is already changing, and stand ready to participate in the church’s response to the likely increase in weather-related disasters. We urge local ministry settings and members to be better stewards of the world’s resources by conserving energy. More information and resources are available from the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, and the National Council of Churches, to assist us in conversation and provide us with information for action. 106 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 8. CLOSE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS (Revised 2003, Renewed 2006, Renewed 2009, Revised 2012, Renewed 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference continues to support the endeavor to close the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly School of the Americas or SOA) located on the U.S. Army Base at Fort Benning, Georgia. Th e SOA trains Latin American personnel in inhumane, oppressive tactics such as torture, assassination and kidnapping, to control their populations. Th is resolution is consistent with the Social Principles P164(A), which clearly oppose the kinds of actions taken by graduates of the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC). Congregations and individuals are encouraged to bring this matter to the attention of the entire conference membership through appropriate action(s), including publicizing the issue in conference, district and local newsletters, conducting education events and especially expressing their will to the President and Members of Congress. 9. COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS (1982, 1986, 1989, 1992, Revised 1995, 1998, 2001, Re- vised 2004, Revised 2007, 2010, 2016) As Christians we believe in the redemptive potential of all people. Th erefore, we urge members of the churches within the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to join with others of like mind in helping the correction systems of Oregon and Idaho in the use of community-based restitution, work programs, and other alternatives aimed at rehabilitation of those who have been convicted of crimes. We further encourage members, when necessary, to actively seek to change regulations which impede or restrict development and placement of such facilities or programs. For a good description of what constitutes community-based corrections, visit the webiste: http://www.liubrary.ca.gov/crb/96/08/. Remembering the words of Jesus, “I was in prison and you visited me,” (Matt. 25:36) we encourage pastors and lay persons in our congregations to visit and/or minister to persons in correctional institutions, and where possible, upon their release from prison, to assist them in their re-entry into local communities, by helping them secure jobs and housing and inviting them into the fellowship of the church. We also urge congregations to identify and support families of these who have or have had members incarcerated in correctional institutions. A 2015 report by the Oregon Department of Corrections shows that community-based correction costs a fraction of the cost for confi nement and off ers more opportunity to provide services, such as alcohol or drug treatment, than does the prison system. While imprisonment costs $88.64 per day, the cost for community-based services runs between $.71 to $16.53 per day depending on the risk posed by the off ender. Th e report also states that the recidivism rate for community-managed off enders is less than 30%. Th is suggests that supporting community-based corrections is better for the community and saves tax dollars. Comparable statistics were not found for Idaho but the Idaho Department of Corrections website has several reports about inviting faith communities to serve on advisory boards for community-based correction programs. Th ese programs highlight increased cooperation between the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) and the community toward the goal of off ender rehabilitation. Two examples of programs in Idaho that need more community support are community reentry centers and off ender mentorship programs. We encourage our churches to seek out ways to actively support and/or establish community-based correction services in their communities.

10. COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS FREE WORLD (1993, Revised 1994, Revised 1997, Revised 2000, Revised 2004, Revised 2007, Revised 2010, 2013) Be it resolved: Th at the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference call upon its United Methodist members to advocate for and to continue to call for legislation to ratify the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), and to contact members of the U.S. Senate and urge them to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 107 Th e United Nations will convene a Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in May 2010. We affi rm the prophetic position of our bishops in their 2009 foundation document and statement in God’s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action: “We persist in demanding that the major nuclear powers reduce their arsenals, step by verifi able step, making a way to a more secure world totally disarmed for nuclear weapons.”

11. CONFRONTING HETEROSEXISM (2010, 2013, updated 2016) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists In communities of transition, the local church shall be regarded as a principal base of mission from which structures of society shall be confronted, evangelization shall occur, and a principal witness to the changing community shall be realized. [Paragraph 212.2, 2012 Discipline] Many of our local churches and the communities they serve are facing transition and have a need to be open to change. Churches that discriminate against gay men, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people repel many youth and young adults, limiting the evangelistic ministry of churches in transitional communities. Heterosexism is a system of attitudes, bias, and discrimination in favor of opposite-sex sexuality and relationships. It can include the presumption that other people are heterosexual or that opposite-sex at- tractions and relationships are the only norm and therefore superior [from Wikipedia]. We call upon local churches to confront heterosexist structures, and to embrace people long told they are not welcome at church. Together we witness God’s inclusive love for all people.

12. EMBRACING THE IMMIGRANT (2012, 2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action When immigrants live in your land with you, you must not cheat them. Any immigrant who lives with you must be treated as if they were one of your citizens. You must love them as yourself, because you were immigrants in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. Lev.19: 33-34. (Common English Version) Rights of Immigrants – We recognize, embrace, and affi rm all persons, regardless of country of origin, as members of the family of God. We affi rm the right of all persons to equal opportunities for employment, access to housing, health care, education, and freedom from social discrimination. We urge the Church and society to recognize the gift s, contributions, and struggles of those who are immigrants and to advocate for justice for all. Social Principles of Th e United Methodist Church 2013-2016. ¶ 162. We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Conference and its congregations intentionally seek relationships with and stand in solidarity with immigrant sisters and brothers in our midst; call upon local, state, and federal government bodies to enact comprehensive immigration reform so policies protect the rights and well-being of all immigrants; and promote educational resources in local churches to empower members to advocate for the same. . 13. END GUN VIOLENCE THROUGH EDUCATION AND OTHER EFFORTS (2001, 2004, Revised 20 07, Revised 2010, Revised 2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference stands in public witness against all gun violence in towns, cities and rural areas in Oregon and Idaho and across the United States, especially gun violence which kills and injures children and youth. Although law-abiding citizens should be able to buy and keep fi rearms, there are sensible gun laws that we insist upon when it comes to gun ownership and ending gun violence. With ownership of guns comes responsibility. Th us we call upon our churches and individuals to join national, state and local commitments against gun violence in America, consistent with actions in Resolution 3426, ‘Gun Violence’ in the Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church 2012, pages 490-493. Th e United Methodist Church must respond to this growing tragedy of thousands of American deaths by guns each year and discuss what role the church should take in facilitating dialogue to address and stop this situation, while acknowledging and educating people that gun violence occurs in all age categories and in domestic and sexual violence, mass shootings, gang attacks, suicides, and accidental shootings. 108 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions Th e following actions should be taken: • “Educate the United Methodist community including parents, children, youth, and the elderly on all aspects of gun safety, as well as violence prevention, adult responsibility around gun violence prevention, and the public health impact of gun violence.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. Th is information should be shared with others in their community. • Adults should always provide adequate locked gun cabinet storage for all guns wherever they are located. • Adults should foster a climate of nonviolent confl ict resolution in their homes, children’s schools, congregations and community. • Adults should educate themselves regarding media rating systems, and monitor and decrease the places where gun violence is shown, watched or engaged in by children, youths or other adult. Th is includes gun violence in television programs, movies, the internet and video games. Adults should discuss with children and youth in their home and their community why gun violence is harmful. • Research community needs and provide local alternatives to violence for people of all ages in the community so they can be safe and protected. engaged in safe, interactive situations. We acknowledge that gun violence can involve people in all age categories and in many ways- accidental shootings, mass shootings, suicides and gang attacks. Talk about this crisis in church. • “Identify community-based, state, and national organizations working of the issue of gun violence and seek their assistance to plan and design education and prevention workshops on gun violence,” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence]. Th ree such organizations include: Ceasefi re Oregon (www.ceasefi reoregon.org ) with programs encouraging voluntary gun take-back and buy-back days, and the ASK national campaign (Asking Saves Kids) that urges parents to ask other parents if there’s a gun in their home where the children go to play, since guns can be found in 40% of Oregon homes; Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense in America (www.momsdemandaction.org ) with Oregon chapters in Portland, and Mid-Willamette Valley, while other chapters can be organized in OR and ID communities; and Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence, with Portland & Eugene/Lane County chapters, (www.bradycampaign.org/ ). Brady Campaign reported that in August 2015 background checks can now be conducted everywhere in Oregon. Idaho does not require any background checks and allows online gun sales. • “Develop advocacy groups within local and regional congregations for the reduction of availability of guns in society, including handguns, assault weapons, automatic weapons and conversion kits, large capacity ammunition magazines, and guns that cannot be detected by traditional metal- detection devices. Th ese advocacy groups can be linked to community-based, state and national organizations working on gun and violence issues.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Support federal legislation in the US Congress to regulate the importation, manufacturing, sale, and possession of guns and ammunition by the general public. Such legislation should include provisions for the registration and licensing of gun purchasers and owners, appropriate background investigation and waiting periods prior to gun purchase, and regulation of subsequent sale.” [2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence] • “Call upon the federal and state governments to provide signifi cant assistance to victims of gun violence and their families.” (2012 Resolution 3426, Gun Violence) • Call upon United Methodists to prayerfully address gun biolence in their local context. One of the ways in which to prevent gun violence may include the following: United Methodist congregations are encouraged to display signs that prohibit carrying guns onto church property.

LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 304.3 (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists; OR-ID MFSA; Jeanne Knepper Whereas the Constitution of Th e United Methodist Church reserves to the clergy members of each Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 109 Annual conference the exclusive right to vote “on all matters relating to the character and conference relations of its clergy members,” [Th e Constitution, ¶33, 2012 Book of Discipline, p. 34]; And whereas Th e Book of Discipline establishes among the laws of the Church that “... self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certifi ed as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in Th e United Methodist Church” [2012 Book of Discipline, ¶304.3, p. 220]; And whereas the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference has adopted resolutions that are specifi cally welcoming of people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; Be it hereby resolved that the sense of the Oregon Idaho-Annual Conference is that if any clergy member of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference who is a member of a district committee on ministry, the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry or a member of the appointive cabinet be charged with certifying a self-avowed practicing homosexual as a candidate, or recommending that a self-avowed practicing homosexual be ordained, and aft er due Disciplinary process is tried and convicted of such an off ense, that an appropriate penalty to assign would be the suspension of said convicted minister from the exercise of pastoral offi ce [2012 Book of Discipline, ¶2711.3, p. 795] for a period of 24 consecutive hours.

15. LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 2702.1(B) (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: Oregon-Idaho Reconciling United Methodists; Oregon-Idaho MFSA; Dave Bean Whereas the Constitution of Th e United Methodist Church reserves to the clergy members of each Annual conference the exclusive right to vote “on all matters relating to the character and conference relations of its clergy members,” [Th e Constitution, ¶33, 2012 Book of Discipline, p. 34]; And whereas Th e Book of Discipline establishes among the laws of the Church that “ a bishop, clergy members of the annual conference, local pastor, clergy on honorable or administrative location or diaconal minister may be tried when charged” with “practices declared by Th e United Methodist Church to be incompatible with Christian teachings, including but not limited to: being a self-avowed practicing homosexual; or conducting ceremonies which celebrate homosexual unions; or performing same-sex wedding ceremonies” [2012 Book of Discipline, ¶ 2702.1(b), p. 776] And whereas the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference has adopted resolutions that are specifi cally welcoming of people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; Be it hereby resolved that the sense of the Oregon Idaho-Annual Conference is that if any clergy member of the Oregon Idaho Annual Conference be charged with any of the above mentioned off enses, and aft er due Disciplinary process is tried and convicted of such an off ense, an appropriate penalty to assign would be the suspension of said convicted minister from the exercise of pastoral offi ce [2012 Book of Discipline, ¶2711.3, p. 795] for a period of 24 consecutive hours.

16. MIDDLE EAST CONFLICTS (2007, revised 2009, renewed 2012, 2016) Sponsor: OR-ID 2012 Legislative Assembly Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual conference resolves to: Pray for all those aff ected by the confl icts in the Middle East, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine/Israel and the Gaza area, and for a swift end to the destructions and violence that war rages within this area of the world. Support withdrawal of all troops and bases from the Middle East. Support the call for the United Nations to appoint a peace Envoy to encourage and cooperate in talks to explore a political settlement to all Middle East confl icts, and Call for multinational support for regionally generated plans to rebuild the Middle East, including, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine/Israel and the Gaza area as well as other Middle Eastern nations. Urge the churches in our conference to study the causes of war and the causes of Biblical and just peacemaking. Encourage persons to spend time in prayer and meditation, to discover ways to be peacemakers and to discover ways to help bring peace and reconciliation throughout the Middle East. We would also urge our churches to seek ways to advocate for peace in this area with our national leaders, and to help our nation bring our troops home at the earliest time possible. 110 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 17. NATIONAL FAIR TRADE POLICY (2009, renewed 2012, revised 2015) Sponsor: Methdoist Federation for Social Action We propose that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church support fairly traded products on a local, state, national and international level. Th is would include promoting fairly traded products for use in our homes and churches, asking our local and state governments to consider the principle of fair trade in all of their acquisitions and contacts, and asking our national legislators in to include Fair Trade practices and principles in all free trade agreements.

18. NATIONAL HEALTH CARE REFORM (2010, 2013, revised 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action Our current health care delivery system is incompatible with United Methodist understanding of the Gospel as expressed in our Social Principles. Paragraph 162V (of the 2012 Book of Discipline) declares that health care is a “basic human right” and that “providing the care needed to maintain health, prevent disease, and restore health aft er injury or illness is a responsibility each person owes others and government owes to all, a responsibility government ignores at its peril.” Th erefore, the OR-ID Annual Conference supports health care being available to all persons of all ages to provide comprehensive care (including vision and dental). Such a system is inclusive, eff ective, and aff ordable, equitable and secure and refl ects our UM Social Principles.

19. OPEN MEMBERSHIP (2007, 2010, 2013) Sponsor: University Park United Methodist Church Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference expects and encourages its congregations and clergy to abide by the principle: Membership in any local church in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference shall not be denied on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, economic condition, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical ability, or any other status.

20. OPPOSE THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (2013, 2016) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action According to the advocacy group Public Citizen: “In early November 2015, aft er seven years of close- door negotiations with the public, press and policymakers locked out, the fi nal TPP text was released. In chapter aft er chapter, the fi nal text is worse than expected, with the demands of the 500 offi cial U.S. trade advisers representing corporate interests satisfi ed to the detriment of the public interest. Th e text reveals that the pact replicates many of the most controversial terms of past pacts that promote job off shoring and push down U.S. wages. If passed, the TPP would: • make it easier for big corporations to ship our jobs overseas, pushing down our wages and increasing income inequality, • fl ood our country with unsafe imported food, • jack up the cost of medicines by giving big pharmaceutical corporations new monopoly rights to keep lower cost generic drugs off of the market, • empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards, • ban ‘Buy American’ policies needed to create green jobs, • roll back Wall Street reforms, • sneak in SOPA-like [Stop Online Piracy Act] threats to internet freedom, • and undermine Human Rights” For more information please check out www.publiccitizen.org.

We urge churches and members of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church to oppose the Trans Pacifi c Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement being negotiated among Pacifi c Rim nations including the United States. Standing Resolution #19 National Fair Trade Policy (2009, renewed 2012) makes clear our Annual Conference support for Fair Trade and states that “we support the renegotiation of all existing `Free Trade’ agreements to refl ect Fair Trade practices and principles.” As people of faith, we believe that international trade and investment systems should respect and promote the dignity of the human person, ensure the development and well-being of people in all nations, foster gender and racial equality, and lead to environmental sustainability. Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 111 21. PLANETARY STEWARDSHIP (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: Planet Church Committee, Portland First United Methodist Church; Sustainers Class and Outreach Committee, Lake Oswego United Methodist Church. Whereas, our planet with its life-nourishing balance of water, air, nutrients and climate is a precious gift and sacred trust from our Creator and whereas climate scientists continue to warn with increasing urgency that we humans are infl icting dangerous damage to this gift , - being virtually unanimous in their peer reviewed reports saying that continuing growth of green house gas emissions is pushing our planet toward catastrophic climate change; Whereas, the human produced emissions are coming mainly from the developed countries and wealthier peoples, while it is the less developed countries and peoples living in poverty who are least able to cope with resulting droughts, fl oods, growing food shortages, rising sea levels and other extreme weather events; Whereas, in many places population growth itself continues to stress our planet as a driver of climate change, food shortages and rapid species loss, while it is widely forecast that business as usual during the next 40 years will add another 2 billion people to our planet; Th erefore, be it resolved that, as people of faith living in one of the world’s wealthiest nations, our responsibilities include answering the call to planetary stewardship by exploring such actions as: • Adopting science based lifestyle changes and policies that will reduce human produced greenhouse gases; • Divesting from fossil fuel enterprises which are increasing greenhouse gases; • Promoting attitudes and policies toward reducing human population growth to sustainable levels; • Assisting the globe’s most vulnerable populations to adapt to climate change. So may we move toward humanity’s reconciliation with this awesome God-given life-sustaining place called earth.

22. PROMISES BROKEN (2015) Sponsor: Committee on Native American Ministries, Wilshire United Methodist Native American Fellowship Be it resolved that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference stand in support of tribal fi shing families living and working near Th e Dalles and John Day Dams. Since the mid 20th century Native Peoples have experienced devastating displacement due to dam building on the Columbia River. Th e losses infl icted on tribal groups (most notable the famed Celilo Falls fi shing site fl ooded by the massive Dalles Dam construction) are astonishing and can never be fully rectifi ed. Fishing communities, men, women, children, grandchildren continue to uphold ancient sustainable fi shing practices in harmony with their cultural beliefs and with maintaining a vibrant eco-system. Sadly, an ongoing disregard of treaties and promises made to compensate people for the loss of their land and homes continues and is evident by the substandard living conditions for these fi shing communities. Th e U.S. government along with the Army Corp of Engineers has repeatedly underfunded and pushed aside this promised housing compensation. We believe that we as a country are collectively responsible for the injustices perpetrated upon First Nations Peoples. Th erefore, institutions such as the United Methodist Church, can be a resource for addressing broken promises. Author, Roberta Ulrich, has written extensively on this subject in her book, Empty Nets, as well as in a recent editorial to Th e Oregonian newspaper of Nov. 16, 2014. She stated, “Congress should introduce legislation providing authorization and money allowing the Corp to fi nish righting this decades-old wrong.” We ask that members of the Annual Conference petition our representatives and senators of the U.S. Congress toward this end. We believe that this can be a step forward toward the “Act of Repentance Toward Indigenous Peoples” put in place by the Church and continuing now and in the future. 112 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 23. REPAIR AND STRENGTHEN THE 1965 VOTING RIGHTS ACT (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action, OR-ID Chapter Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports repairing the 1965 Voting Rights Act that was decimated by the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court Shelby County v. Holder decision. Th e weakened Voting Rights Act has allowed many states to place barriers to voting, including strict voter ID laws and residency requirements and prohibition of same-day registration. Th e voters most aff ected by these obstacles are blacks and other racial minorities, the poor, the elderly and young people. Th is must be changed. All U.S. citizens should have the right to vote without barriers.

24. RESPONSE TO GENERAL CONFERENCE 2012 (2012, revised 2013) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action, OR-ID Chapter It is the sense of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, following the General Church Conference in April-May 2012, that our denomination continues to promote teaching that is incompatible with the inclusive gospel of Jesus in its exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex persons. We concur with the statement of retired Bishop Melvin Talbert who has said: “I declare to you that the derogatory language and restrictive laws in the Book of Discipline are immoral and unjust and no longer deserve our loyalty and obedience.” We will work toward the day when our church will take appropriate steps of repentance and reform its teaching to more fully refl ect the inclusive gospel of Jesus Christ.

25. SEEKING PEACE AND JUSTICE IN THE HOLY LAND (2007, Revised 2010, 2013, 2016) Sponsor: MFSA; Active for Peace and Justice (Corvallis First UMC) What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Truly I tell you, just as you did it to the least of these who are the members of my family you did it to me. Matthew 25:40. We affi rm Israel’s right to exist within permanent, recognized and secure borders, and we affi rm the Palestinians’ rights to self-determination and formation of a viable state with secure borders and air space, water rights, and passage rights to the land in their state, whether it is through a one-state or two- state solution. Th e General Conference in 2004, 2008, and 2012 resolved that, “Th e United Methodist Church opposes continued military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, the confi scation of Palestinian land and water resources, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the continued building of illegal Jewish settlements, and any vision of a ‘Greater Israel’ that includes the occupied territories and the whole of Jerusalem and its surroundings.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, pg 812]. We are called to support members of Christ’s church around the world, including Palestinian Christians who, along with their Muslim neighbors, are being forced to leave the Holy Land due to Israel’s confi scation of their property and the severe hardships of living under the illegal Israeli occupation of thier land. Th e illegal destruction of Palestinian homes and economy, the confi scation of Palestinian land, and the loss of Palestinian lives, including innocent children and civilians, are made possible by the use of armored bulldozers, helicopters, gunships, tanks and other equipment; while destruction of Israeli property, violence, and loss of innocent Israeli lives are made possible by the use of mortars, guns and bombs. Th is creates personal harm on both sides and simply increases profi ts for national and multinational corporations who manufacture and sell these weapons. Th e Kairos Palestine Document was issued by 16 Palestinian Christian leaders in Bethlehem on December 11, 2009 (and has now signed by over 1200 Palestinian Christians). It calls on churches of the world: “to take a position of truth with regard to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. ...We see boycott and disinvestment as tools of non-violence for justice, peace and security for all. ... We repeat once again that this is not revenge but rather a serious action in order to reach a just and defi nitive peace that will put an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories and will guarantee security and peace Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 113 for all.” Kairos Palestine Document, December 11, 2009, #6.3 and 7, at [http://www. oikoumene.org/ fi leadmin/fi les/wcc-main/2009pdfs/Kairos%20Palestine_Enpdf]. Th e United Methodist Church should not profi t from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land or the destruction of Palestinian homes, orchards, and lives. Our church is committed to ensuring that our Church’s fi nances are used in a manner consistent with Christ’s teaching, our beliefs, and international law. Th e Investment Ethics resolution states our policy on Avoidance by Divestment: “Th is policy prohibits investment in enterprises that have policies or practices that are so morally reprehensible that investment in these companies is not tolerated by the church. ...Historically many church investors have refused to invest in major military contractors, companies with nuclear weapons contracts, or companies when they were doing business in South Africa under apartheid, [Book of Resolutions, 2008, Para. 4071, p 592]. We affi rm the 2012 statements calling “on all nations to prohibit any fi nancial support by individuals or organizations for the construction and maintenance of settlements; and also to prohibit the import of products made by companies in Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.” [Book of Resolutions, 2012, Para. 6111, p 813] and we further affi rm this Annual Conference’s passage of a resolution direction “the Conference Treasurer/Benefi ts Offi cer, and the Northwest United Methodist Foundation to the best of their abilities...divest all Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference funds from stock held in Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions, and Hewlett-Packard, and continue to exclude these companies from the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference investments until these companiews end their involvement with the illegal Isaeli occupation of Palestine...” [AR 06, “Aligning Investment With Values Regarding Palestine and Israel” 2015 Journal, page 144].. We encourage Oregon-Idaho members of the United Methodist Church to call on our U.S. government, the government of Israel, and the elected Palestinian leadership to reject all acts of aggression and violence, to respect the equality and dignity of all the region’s people, and to forge solutions based on the principles of international law and human rights.

26. STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE (2014) Sponsor: Montavilla (Portland) United Methodist Church Churches throughout the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference welcome people of various ethnic groups, income levels, ability levels, religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities to fi nd a spiritual home in their congregations. Members of Conference United Methodist churches include people of various sexual orientations who are involved in loving relationships. God calls us to stand on the side of love. We believe all relationships that are grounded in shared aff ection and are equitable in power refl ect God’s will. We support marriage between loving couples—gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender, straight, celibate, or otherwise—that refl ects such commitments.

27. A STATEMENT OF CONVICTION (2011, revised 2014) Sponsor: OR-ID Reconciling United Methodists; OR-ID MFSA; Marcia Hauer; Administrative Council of University Park United Methodist Church Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfi lling of the law. [Romans 13:10] Th e Mission and Ministry of the Church, Section VI: We recognize that God made all creation and saw that it was good. As a diverse people of God who bring special gift s and evidences of God’s grace to the unity of the Church and to society, we are called to be faithful to the example of Jesus’s ministry to all persons. Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the Church, the community, and the world; therefore inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination. [2012 Discipline, ¶140, page 99] Out of concern for the welfare of all God’s people, and out of special concern for the people of Th e United Methodist Church, we, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, believe Th e United Methodist Church should remove the following statement from Th e Book of Discipline (2008 2012): “...Th e practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Th erefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certifi ed as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in Th e United Methodist Church.” ¶304.3 Our lives and ministries over the years have included prayerful, thoughtful consideration of our Holy Bible, our Wesleyan heritage, refl ection on our experience of the church and world, and our conviction of God’s intention for a world transformed. 114 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions With this statement of conviction and counsel we seek: • To affi rm that the historic tests of “gift s and evidence of God’s grace” for ordained ministry override any past or present temporal restrictions such as race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. • To urge the Church, ecumenical and denominational, to change the manner in which it relates to gay, lesbian and transgendered persons in offi cial statements, judicial proceedings, and in congregational life. • To declare our conviction that the current disciplinary position of Th e United Methodist Church, a part of our historical development, need not, and should not, be embraced as the faithful position for the future. • To make known our conviction on this matter and to encourage other church conferences to do the same. With increasing frequency we observe and experience the following disturbing realities and know them to be detrimental to the mission of a Church of Jesus Christ: • Laity and clergy, gay and straight, withdrawing membership or absenting themselves from the support of congregational and denominational Church life in order to maintain personal integrity. • Young adults, especially, embarrassed to invite friends and expressing dismay at the unwillingness of our United Methodist Church to alter an exclusionary stance adopted in 1972, long before we came to know of the gift s and graces of lesbian and gay laity and clergy. • Closeted pastors, currently called and ordained in our church, living divided lives while off ering eff ective appreciated ministry. • Bishops being drained of energy by upholding Church Discipline while regarding it as contrary to their convictions. • Bishops caught between care for the Church by reappointing an eff ective gay or lesbian pastor and care for the Discipline by charging them under current legislation. • Seminary leaders desiring greater fl exibility and openness from the church in order to advance their mission of identifying, recruiting, enrolling, educating and spiritually forming Christian leaders. • Christian gay men and lesbian women understanding themselves called of God to seek ministry opportunities within their United Methodist family Church home, but having to decide between leaving to go to accepting denominations, or staying and praying for change, or challenging Our United Methodist Church, ashamed and repentant in the past, ended offi cial and unoffi cial restrictions on candidacy, ordination and appointment for reason of race, gender and ethnicity. We believe the God we know in Jesus is leading us to issue this counsel and call – a call to transform our church life and our world.

28. SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM (2010, revised 2013, 2016) Sponsor: MFSA and Conference Hispanic Ministries Council 1) Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports comprehensive immigration reform by the U.S. Congress consistent with the Council of Bishops “Statement on the U.S. Immigration Situation” (May 2009) that would: • Provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants • Unite, instead of divide, immigrant families • Increase the number of visas for short-term workers • Extend legal protection and human rights to all workers including immigrants •Eliminate privately operated detention facilities not regulated by federal or state governments • End all indiscriminate raids. 2) Churches are encouraged to engage in ministries of mercy and justice with immigrants such as Bible studies and worship in their languages, pastoral care for immigrants, sanctuary for undocumented Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 115 immigrants, English as a Second Language classes, and other forms of education that help immigrants experience abundant life.

29. SUPPORT FOR THE COUNCIL OF BISHOPS’ A WAY FORWARD (2016) Sponsor: Rev. Jeremy Smith WHEREAS, the United Methodist General Conference (May 2016) adopted the recommended plan authored by the Council of Bishops entitled A Way Forward, and deferred consideration of all legislation related to human sexuality before the 2016 General Conference; WHEREAS, A Way Forward provides that the Council of Bishops shall appoint a special Commission “to develop a complete examination and possible revision of every paragraph in our Book of Discipline regarding human sexuality” and that the Council of Bishops will “maintain an on-going dialogue with this Commission” and that if they complete their work in time, report to a called General Conference before the regular 2020 General Conference; WHEREAS, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference supports A Way Forward, and endorses the leadership of the Council of Bishops and the 2016 General Conference in its decision to address discrimination against lesbian and gay persons currently in the Book of Discipline; WHEREAS, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference previously expressed its views on human sexuality in the following ways: CHILDREN OF SAME-GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (2007, 2010, 2013) CONFRONTING HETEROSEXISM (2010, 2013) LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 304.3 (2011, revised 2014) LIVING WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE WHILE MOVING FORWARD WITH MINISTRY: THE SENSE OF THE OREGON-IDAHO ANNUAL CONFERENCE, PARAGRAPH 2702.1(B) (2011, revised 2014) OPEN MEMBERSHIP (2007, 2010, 2013) STANDING ON THE SIDE OF LOVE (2014) A STATEMENT OF CONVICTION (2011, revised 2014) WE WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE (2010, 2013) WHEREAS, Social Principle ¶161F, Book of Discipline provisions ¶341.6 and ¶304.3, and other sections confl ict with the Constitution of the United Methodist church which provides that “all persons are of sacred worth,” and “We implore families and churches not to reject or condemn lesbian and gay members and friends. We commit ourselves to be in ministry for and with all persons.” WHEREAS, our United Methodist connection calls us to treat well-intentioned, well-reasoned diff erences of opinion with mutual respect rather than insisting upon a verdict or language that rejects one side or the other; WHEREAS, we acknowledge the critical importance of carrying out this historic process with the utmost of care, eff ectiveness, and timing. And, while we agree that establishing the details and naming the members of the Commission are paramount to overall success, we must also acknowledge the harm that grows with each passing day and the importance of preserving momentum and collective trust that this new way forward will not ultimately result in failure as similar Commissions have in our past. We must not repeat past mistakes. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference endorses A Way Forward, commits to being in continued prayer for the Council of Bishops and the Commission throughout the journey ahead, and encourages the Council of Bishops to do the following: 1. Name the members of the A Way Forward Commission as soon as possible but no later than August 1, 2016 and require that the fi rst Commission meeting be convened within 60 days of the Commission members being appointed; 2. Among the members of the Commission, include out LGBTQI persons so that such voices will be represented in what will otherwise be a conversation about LGBTQI persons by heterosexual, cisgender persons. Such a conversation will lack integrity if LGBTQI voices are not included; 3. Authorize and encourage the Commission to seek out and invite established experts to provide information as needed, including but not limited to: medical experts whose focus 116 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions is human sexuality, advocates and counselors in the fi eld, and survivors and experts in sexual assault, trauma and gender equity. 4. Provide a forum for the Commission to receive input from individual churches and members, perhaps through and with the cooperation of the Annual Conferences. 5. Report to the Annual Conferences at least once each quarter on the progress of the work of the Commission; 6. Provide a fi nal report at least two months in advance of any called General Conference that shall take up any necessary legislation to implement the recommendations of the Commission; 7. Provide continued leadership and a commitment to unity during this interim and vulnerable period, agreeing to a moratorium on the processing of any current or future complaints related to Discipline paragraphs having to do with human sexuality until the General Conference is reconvened.

30. SUPPORT FOR THE RELIGIOUS COALITION FOR REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE (2016) Sponsor: Rev. Eilidh Lowery WHEREAS, Th e United Methodist Church was a founding member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice in 1973; and WHEREAS, the General Board of Church and Society was a member of the Religious Coalition until General Conference 2016, along with national organizations from 14 denominations who are current members, including the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalism, Reform and Conservative Judaism; and WHEREAS, these Coalition member organizations hold a wide variety of views regarding policies relating to specifi c issues of reproductive choice such as when life and personhood begins but, nevertheless, share common religious values, have offi cial pro-choice policies, and are committed to working together to ensure reproductive choice for all persons through the moral power of religious communities; and WHEREAS, the Religious Coalition supports the right of all persons to have access to a wide range of reproductive health services including sexuality education, family planning services, contraception, abortion services, aff ordable and quality health and child care; and WHEREAS, the Religious Coalition’s All Options Clergy Counseling program trains clergy of many faiths to assist women in discerning the course of action that they believe is best in a case of unintended pregnancy; and WHEREAS, internationally, the Religious Coalition is an accredited nongovernmental organization with the United Nations Department of Public Information which supports international family planning services in such areas as South Africa where the Coalition works with churches on HIV/AIDS education and prevention; and WHEREAS, the Coalition’s eff orts help counter attempts to enact restrictive legislation that would impose specifi c religious views about abortion and reproductive health on persons of all faiths; and Th erefore, be it resolved, that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church go on record in support of the work of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

31. SUPPORT THE ABOLITION OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING (2009; revised 2012, renewed 2015) Sponsor: MFSA & Corvallis 1st United Methodist Church Th e Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Luke 4:18-19 Th e plight of human traffi cking is not only one of the world’s most prevalent forms of criminal activity but arguably the most degrading, preying on the most vulnerable members of society. Human traffi cking is defi ned by the United Nations as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people, either by threat, abduction, deception or abuse of power for the purpose of sexual or labor-related exploitation. According to the U.S. Department of State Traffi cking in Persons Report 2010, the number of adults and children worldwide currently in forced labor, bonded labor and forced prostitution was 12.3 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions 117 million people, with more people being victims of labor traffi cking than of commercial sex traffi cking. However, women and children represent 80 percent of those aff ected. Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church supports the abolition of the Modern slave trade, or human traffi cking as it is called now, that is happening worldwide, in the U.S. and in Oregon and Idaho. Because our two states have major interstate highways intersecting north-south (I-5) and east-west (I-84) with access to Pacifi c coastline ports, and need many agricultural and service laborers, we are among the states highest in human traffi cking. Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church strongly urges all local churches to participate in the 2009-2012 quadrennium study of “Abolition of Sex Traffi cking,” as approved and recorded in the General Conference 2012 Book of Resolutions (Resolution 6023, p709). Within Methodism, both United Methodist Women/UMW and United Methodist Committee on Relief/UMCOR have vibrant programs and projects that serve people in the U.S. and overseas who’ve survived human traffi cking. We continue to call all local churches in our Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to help end human traffi cking here and around the world: (1) by studying the excellent, free, 30 page pdf UMW resource packet, “Human Traffi cking: Preventing, Protecting, Prosecuting” (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umw/act/ ) click ‘Human Traffi cking’; (2) by inviting UMW members to present this information on Human Traffi cking to your congregation or several congregations jointly; and (3) by supporting UMW and UMCOR in their important work with human traffi cking victims (UMCOR link: (http://new.gbgm-umc.org/UMCOR/search/index.cfm?keywords=Human)

32. SUPPORTING DISCUSSION OF HOMELESS PERSONS’ RIGHTS (2016) Sponsor: Spirit of the Valley UMC at Halsey Th e Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference is deeply concerned about the rights of all people. At this time of local, state and national discernment about the rights of homeless persons, we are reminded of our ethical and biblical mandate to serve Jesus through caring for person in need of shelter, food, and support.

Th erefore, we support local, state and national eff orts to ensure the rights of homeless persons and encourage local congregations and ministries to discern their part in protecting the righs of and addressing the needs of homeless persons.

We urge local congregations and ministries to consider these rights, put forward by the Homeless Bill of Rights Campaign: 1. Th e Right to move freely, rest, sleep, and pray in public. 2. Th e Right to occupy a vehicle. 3. Th e Right to share and eat food in public. 4. Th e Right to legal counsel for infractions. 5. Th e Right to 24-hour access to existing hygiene facilities. 6. Require judges to consider necessity defense when hearing homeless-related cases.

33. SUPPORTING MIDDLE EAST PEACE EFFORTS (2015) Sponsor: Methodist Federation for Social Action We call upon the churches of the United Methodist Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to seek ways to advocate for supporting peace eff orts in the Middle East, involving our national elected leaders and our Pentagon staff and State Department leaders and military contractors. United Methodists may work in a supportive way by various actions--signing petitions, phoning our legislators, talking with our national offi cials and with staff in their local offi ces, and participating in marches and vigils to work for peace in the Middle East. We can join with other United Methodists and people of faith to help support renewal, human rights and justice. In 2010 a massive, popular movement of uprisings, revolution and change spread around many countries 118 Annual Conference Actions & Resolutions in the Middle East. People in the Middle East were upset with harsh dictators, ineff ective governments and failing economies, with many people experiencing crushing poverty. With many protestors worldwide using non-violent actions, people hoped to change the status quo, but with limited or little success over these 4 years. Another critical human rights issue arose in the summer of 2014, the war between Gaza Strip and Israel, called Operation Protective Edge, for 7 weeks in July-August. Th e number of Israeli killed were 66 soldiers and 6 civilians, with 469 soldiers and 87 civilians wounded. Th e number of Gazans killed were 2,310 (including 513 children) and around 10,800 civilians were injured. Th e UN calculated that 520,000 Palestinians were displaced (30% of Gazan population). Th e UN calculated that more than 7,000 homes for 10,000 families were razed, and another 89,000 homes damaged. Rebuilding costs were calculated to be 4-6 billion dollars, over 20 years. Th e current situation in the Middle East seems to have stalemated or reversed to even worse. In 2014 we have witnessed failure in the several Middle East countries, which has led to the rise of an extreme terrorist group, ISIS/Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. Th is is a complex situation. We urge our U.S. and world leaders to carefully explore appropriate actions that will eventually help to end the ISIS confl ict. We support funds for rebuilding in Gaza. We call on our nation and other nations to work carefully together. We call upon United Methodists and other people of faith to work for peace, to help change policies for the better and to improve human rights for all people. United Methodists still believe war is not the answer.

34. WE WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE (2010, 2013) Sponsor: Sweet Home United Methodist Church Adult Sunday School When our predecessors framed Th e United Methodist Church, they built the characteristic of Inclusiveness into our church constitution. Later General Conferences specifi ed that “Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the church, the community and the world; therefore, inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination,” and adding that “the mark of an inclusive society is one in which all persons are open, welcoming, fully accepting, and supportive of all other persons, enabling them to participate fully in the life of the church, the community and the world.” [Paragraph 139, 2008 Discipline] Th ere are those in our worldwide church who have argued that non-heterosexuals should be excluded. Some people have promoted legislation that gay men and lesbians should be imprisoned or killed for loving each other. We now must speak out, before God, the church and the world, to insist that this is wrong. We therefore admonish members and clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to safeguard the constitutional requirement of inclusiveness, avoiding “every semblance of discrimination” as we represent the church and administer its business. We can do no less.

Boards & Agencies Related to Program & Mission

Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries Karen Nelson, Chair Our camp and retreat centers are important to the health and vitality of individuals and congregations. They have a tremendous impact on the people who attend them. Camps offer a place for growth, for renewal, for community building, for deﬁ ning and redeﬁ ning one’s relationship with God and with other people, for transforming li ves, and for bringing forth wholeness.

The mission of Camp and Retreat Ministries is to create quality environments of Christian hospitality and learning. We nurture persons so that they may grow in wisdom and healthy self-esteem; develop lifestyles of loving interdependence with each other and all of creation; and afﬁ rm and expand their faith in God and their service as Christian disciples within God’s world.

This mission informs all that we do. Our camp and retreat programs are designed to enhance and develop spiritual practices in campers of all ages. Passionate worship, intentional faith development, and radical hospitality are among those practices taught and practiced by staff and campers. We offer more than 75 events that intentionally engage leadership development, spiritual nurture, just community, and pathways of healing. In addition to the programs we offer, many of our conference churches use our sites to develop and run their own weekend retreats for small groups or entire congregations, as well as places for extended meetings of church boards. Our sites are also places of radical hospitality for other non-proﬁ t groups from around the area and beyond. We are also continuing to strengthen our ecumenical partnerships and work closely with the Episcopal Diocese of Western Oregon.

This has been the ﬁ rst year under the leadership of our new Executive Director, Rev. James Parkhurst. Jim has brought a wealth of experience from previous camp and retreat positions and has helped us look at our operations with fresh eyes.

Each of our sites has continued to work on upkeep and improvements, including the following: **Wallowa Lake: ﬁ nishing the volunteer center thanks to a $150,000 grant from the Murdoch Foundation, funds donated for another yurt and plans in place to build a community/multipurpose/ worship center; **Sawtooth: completing the welcome center and the donation of two log cabins available for guests; **Latgawa: upgrades to the water system and repairs to the electric system to the hill cabins; **Suttle Lake: renovation of the lower cabins bathhouse and work on converting the old upper bathhouse to a meeting space; **Alton L. Collins: structural work on the kitchen and replacement of the large freezer unit, relining the water tank and beginning plans for a new lodging wing; **Magruder: repairs to the dock after extensive storm damage and upgrading camper showers. This work is possible because of the generous contributions of many people in time, money, and talents.

Last year we implemented a change in our camper weeks for children and youth with the inclusion of additional paid staff to assist at several sites across the conference. These young adults are strengthening their leadership skills as they work with a variety of other volunteer and paid staff and the unique programming that is offered at each of our sites. We are building on this structure this summer, as well as working on enhancing the training for our many volunteers. This spring a three-site training was held at Camp Magruder for our summer volunteers and paid staff. 138 Pre-Conference Reports Our own camping programs, use of the facilities by churches, and hosting hospitality groups are all ways that camping touches lives. Camping continues to be a vital ministry where people come to know Christian community and let Christ transform their lives.

Conference Board of Global Ministries/Outreach Jim Frisbie, Conference Secretary of Global Ministries Our efforts to establish and enhance our network of mission and outreach activities continues to grow as we expand the leadership core of the Outreach Team and develop guidelines for various aspects of our work. We continue to support local congregations in their support of Global Ministries projects and missionaries through our apportionments, Advance Specials, Covenant Relationships, Imagine No Malaria, Disaster Preparedness, our Partnership with Liberia, United Methodist Volunteers in Mission, and Early Response Teams.

We have had an increased emphasis on itineration of Missionaries this year with more visits and the missionary training for the General Board of Global Ministries happening at Tigard/Metzger in conjunction with General Conference. Thirty new missionaries were trained and commissioned, and they were able to get out into our local churches to practice their skills at itinerating to tell the story of Global Ministries. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Roz Collins, our Oregon Idaho Itineration Coordinator for her excellent work this year in the details and arrangements for our itinerating missionaries.

Dan Moseler is our Disaster Response Coordinator and continues to develop connections with the network of others in our region in his area of expertise. He has developed detailed guidelines for our response to emerging crises for our local congregations, pastors, superintendents, and bishop. He has worked closely with national leadership to establish these protocols and connect us with other helping agencies, including state and non-proﬁ t response teams. This information is accessible at umoi.org.

Becky Platt is our United Methodist Volunteer in Mission Coordinator. She has developed training and guidelines for UMVIM teams and leaders to enhance their mission experience. She is also organizing Early Response Team training for this coming July. She has enclosed a more detailed report following this one.

We are looking for new ways to energize our Mission Partnership with the Liberia Annual Conference. This long-term relationship has been a rich source of friendship and support for many decades, with strong personal contacts with Bishop Innis and others in Liberia. Oregon-Idaho United Methodists continue to be greeted in Liberia as beloved friends from America. The continued struggle in Liberia with Ebola, malaria, poverty, and education offer many opportunities for us to be in mission with this fascinating West African Country.

Missionary Itineration is a component of outreach that continues to need leadership. The positive impact of a missionary visiting a local congregation cannot be overstated! It energizes and enhances both the outreach and inner enthusiasm of the host church. Please say “Yes!” when there is an opportunity to host a missionary!

Sally Blanchard of the OR-ID Conference staff has been a big part of our planning and implementation and has developed a “Connecting Neighbors” curriculum for Lake Oswego UMC. Also I want to offer kudos to Lowell Greathouse for his participation in the Global Ministries Summit in New York last November and his continual work with our Global Ministries team.

As your Conference Secretary of Global Ministries I am completing my tenure representing the Western Jurisdiction on The Advance Committee for the General Board of Global Ministries. The bi-annual visits to New York have offered me the opportunity to meet many of the leaders of our church worldwide. It has been a joy to engage in meaningful discussion with United Methodists from across the nation and the world. I am deeply impressed with the dedication of our people leading the church around the world. There is so much more that we can accomplish through Global Ministries, but we have achieved a good start, have a great team, and a vision of the Call of Christ for our work together. Pre-Conference Reports 139 Holy Land Task Force Dee Poujade The Holy Land Task Force was created at Annual Conference 2013 to identify and study companies affecting the Palestinian people in the Occupied Territories in harmful ways, and to develop information sheets on companies that conduct their business in a manner harmful to Palestinians. Task Force members are Dee Poujade, chair, Betty Cobb-Colgan, Janine DeLaunay, Babs Eggleston, Liz Jacob, Karen McAlister, Jan Nelson, Claudia Roberts, LoErna Simpson and Steve Sprecher.

The 2015 Annual Conference passed a resolution “Aligning Investments with Values Regarding Palestine and Israel,” which was co-sponsored by the Task Force and Methodist Federation for Social Action. This resolution directed the Conference Treasurer/Beneﬁ ts Ofﬁ cer and the Northwest United Methodist Foundation “to the best of their abilities in consultation with the annual conference’s Holy Land Task Force, divest all Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference funds from stock held in Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions and Hewlett-Packard…”

A working group, comprised of members from these ﬁ nancial bodies, along with Camping and Retreat Ministries, and Task Force representatives Jan Nelson, Dee Poujade and Steve Sprecher has been meeting since early fall, and is prepared to present its recommendations on how best to implement this resolution at Annual Conference 2016.

The Task Force continues to provide educational resources and opportunities to learn more about the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine, including recent programs at Morningside UMC, Tigard UMC and Portland First UMC.

Task Force chair Dee Poujade, and General Conference reserve delegate Josh Hauser also participated in a Study Trip to the Holy Land in February, 2016, where they spent 10 days visiting holy sites and meeting with local Israelis and Palestinians to learn ﬁ rst-hand what is happening in the Holy Land, and how caring, concerned Christians can help bring peace to this troubled region.

Task Force members are willing and eager to help coordinate educational programs on Palestine/Israel, and are willing to travel to any church in the annual conference that would like a program on this issue. Additionally, United Methodist Kairos Response, a national group working to support an end to the illegal Occupation of Palestine, has many excellent resources for individual or group study: kairosresponse.org.

Board of Lay Ministry Mary Foote, chair The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

In this last Journal report as your Conference Lay Leader, please receive this blessing. I offer these words in gratitude for all I’ve received while serving.

There is no ﬁ ner, happier life than one spent in service to our amazing God. I value the time I’ve spent on the Ministry Leadership Team. Strategizing and planning, learning and connecting are the invisible service works that keep our conference operating at the least and thriving at best. We have strong, gifted laity and clergy on the MLT and I’ve been blessed to work alongside them.

The other committees? The Board of Lay Ministries, Episcopacy Committee, Sessions Committee, Nominating Committee, Hispanic Council, Visionary Leadership Project, Tuell Center curriculum development – and any I’ve forgotten, are populated by a growing body of servants. Many folks wear many hats but I notice a greater assortment of faces from meeting to meeting and I thank God! We are seeing new folks step-up. New folks are ﬁ nding that committing time to God’s work is more apt to 140 Pre-Conference Reports energize their lives than drain their batteries. Committee work is rarely exciting, often humorous and mandatory. With efﬁ cient execution, even committee work – in God’s name – is a blessing!

We are a connectional church and it’s our connections I will hold closely long after my time as CLL. I think of a church I was invited to with a newish pastor and two burning-to-serve lay people. We talked, ate, worshipped, prayed, sang, ate some more, and laughed for two days. All the while, I’d see eyes light up and notes quickly scribbled. An idea! It was beauty in motion. It was God’s work by God’s people. Love surrounded us as we talked through situations and discussed options.

These connections are the elements of good lives. Forming relationships based on our mutual relationships with God, gives us a base of unconditional acceptance. We build our friendships on a foundation of loving our neighbors as Jesus taught. For this, I thank God. For the opportunities to experience these blessings as the Conference Lay Leader, I thank each member of the laity. My life has been enriched by the last four years, thank you so very much!

Mission and Ministry Lowell Greathouse, Mission and Ministry Coordinator In July 2015, the position of Director of Connectional Ministries (what we are calling Mission and Ministry Coordinator) was returned to our annual conference staffi ng structure. When this position was eliminated in 2011, I attempted to fulfi ll some of the responsibilities involved with this role while simultaneously serving as the DS for the Columbia District. This effort proved diffi cult to do effectively, because of the on-going demands of serving as a DS in a rapidly changing district.

The goal of creating the Mission and Ministry Coordinator (MMC) position was not to return to old ways of doing business at an annual conference level, but instead to catalyze new ways of connecting in mission and ministry with each other.

During this ﬁ rst year, we have taken a number of positive steps to achieve this goal. However, it should be noted that there have also been a number of demands placed on this position due to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference serving as the “host annual conference” for the 2016 General Conference.

Let me focus on several mission and ministry connections that illustrate the work in 2015-16:

Working on the Edges: One initial effort as MMC was to help connect the “edges” with the “center” of our organizational system by developing a new AC communication tool called Spirit Alive. At ﬁ rst, this was a weekly, four-month experiment. Since then, it has become an on-going resource sent out to 3,600 leaders within Oregon-Idaho twice a month. Spirit Alive focuses on looking at mission and ministry by providing commentaries, resource reviews, and video recordings designed to share what is happening at a grassroots level. To date, these local stories have included examples from Hood River, Boise, Eugene, Tigard, St. Helens, The Dalles, The Alton L. Collins Retreat Center, and congregations in the Greater Portland Area. In addition, through this new position, we’ve followed-up more effectively with stafﬁ ng support for CONAM, following our Acts of Repentance focus last year; extended our commitment to the Pan-Methodist work in our region; and actively developed new “signature” mission and ministry initiatives such as the one involving a University Park UMC affordable housing proposal.

Part of the work on “the edges” has included resourcing retreats for the growing number of clergy serving in cross-racial, cross-cultural settings throughout the Greater NW Area, expanding our ministry within the Hispanic community; and developing a “Let’s Talk Mission” pilot project to be shared with interested church clusters in the fall.

Working at the Center: Since adding the role of MMC, we have extended our joint resourcing efforts with the Paciﬁ c NW staff to advance our GNW Area work to: create a common vision for our episcopal area, develop a plan to more effectively train clergy and laity around leadership excellence, and advance a more comprehensive, coordinated way to resource congregations around global missions work, especially Pre-Conference Reports 141 UMVIM, emergency preparedness, and mission-focused connections. We are again meeting regularly as AC program staff to coordinate our work, which has already helped identity some synergies that were lost when the DCM position was eliminated in 2011.

Finally, our longstanding relationship with The Collins Foundation has deepened as we continue to expand our focus on clergy and laity development, while also entering into a new effort to be more inclusive as a church around LGBTQ concerns.

Looking Ahead: In the coming year, we will: (1) undertake a comprehensive “connectional audit” related to how we currently connect as an annual conference and look at how to do this more effectively, (2) explore new “signature” ministries that can deﬁ ne us as a church in the future, and (3) continue to share stories of mission/ministry from around the annual conference.

Peace with Justice Claudia Roberts, Peace with Justice Coordinator This past year has been a good one for the Oregon-Idaho Conference Peace with Justice Program in 2015. Although donations through the Peace with Justice Sunday offering are down across the denomination, we celebrate the congregations who continue to honor this program with their recognition, prayers and contributions. We have a healthy amount in the fund that allows us to respond positively to most of our grant requests. With the approval of the General Board of Church and Society we can now use funds for a larger variety of peace and justice activities including partial scholarships for people to attend national and international events.

We elected a new Conference Committee of Church of Society at the 2015 Annual Conference. Donna Boe comes with a long history of peace and justice work and has focused on learning the ropes and trying to recruit committee members for this important work. I appreciate having her help and support with the Peace with Justice Program.

We approved three grants this year. The ﬁ rst one was to support an ecumenical Poverty Forum in northeast Portland. Donna Beegle is a nationally known speaker and advocate for helping to break the cycle of generational poverty. Twelve churches participated in the forum and it has generated new energy for working together to address poverty issues in our neighborhoods. We have formed the Northeast Interfaith Alliance and are learning how we might best use our resources.

The second grant was made to the Conference Holy Land Taskforce to help provide a scholarship for one of our young General Conference delegates to visit the Holy Land to learn ﬁ rsthand about the issues there. He is providing a Laity Workshop about his experiences at Annual Conference in June.

The third grant was just recently approved. It provides partial funding for a Latina group to put on a month long exhibit about the experiences of women immigrating with infants. It is not a part of General Conference but will be at a nearby venue. And our denomination’s Latino Ministries group has agreed to promote it. The name of the exhibit is Amanantar y Migrar.

We did have an inquiry from an Idaho church looking to start an after-school tutoring program. It sounded like a great program but they ran into resistance from the school district about housing the program in a church. I was excited about having some interest from Idaho and hope there will be other opportunities to spread the projects around the conference.

Please visit the Peace with Justice booth at the Ministry Fair at Annual Conference. There will be information there about how to apply for grants and what kinds of projects that PWJ supports. There will also be free-trade chocolates to snack on. 142 Pre-Conference Reports Commission On Religion and Race John Go, chair CORR is working on introducing intercultural competency skills and tools for local churches to enable appropriate and effective engagement in their increasingly diverse mission fi elds. Over the year 2015- 2016, CORR made a commitment to support clergy in cross-cultural, cross-racial (CCCR) appointments through multiple retreats designed and also led by the Pacifi c Northwest Annual Conference. This intentional effort to strengthen and support clergy in CCCR appointments addresses cultural self- awareness, emotional intelligence, basic intercultural communication concepts and skills for 10 to 12 clergy of the Oregon-Idaho Conference, and creates systematizing support for them. The next retreat will be held in October, 2016. CORR continues to connect, support and train clergy and laity to strenthen their leadership in reaching and impacting our culturally and racially diverse mission fi elds in which our churches now are not only uniquely challenged, but also called to serve.

Commission on the Status and Role of Women Lynda Montgomery The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women, one of 13 general agencies of the United Methodist Church, advocates for full participation of women in the total life of the church. We’re helping the church recognize every person- clergy and lay, women and men-as full and equal parts of God’s human family. We believe that a fully engaged and empowered membership vital to The United Methodist Church’s mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ to transform the world.

This is what we do through training, education, research and monitoring. We address gender discrimination and sexism within church structure, nurture clergy and lay leaders within the church, raise awareness of women’s issues and opportunities, educate church leaders and seminarians on sexual harassment or abuse, develop guidelines for inclusive and expansive language, monitor annual conferences and the General Conference for inclusiveness.

Our work is far from ﬁ nished, however. Women comprise more than half of our worldwide membership, yet many U.S. congregations still refuse to accept a woman pastor. Women are underrepresented as clergy, superintendents and bishops. Women are ﬁ ve times more likely than men to be targets of sexual harassment and misconduct in the church.

“Until we fully afﬁ rm the dignity and value, the contributions, the theological perspectives, the concerns, hops, the recommendations, and even the discourse of and among women, the United Methodist Church will not be adequately equipped to make of all disciples, to carry a word of hope and peace and love to a broken world, and to demonstrate our authenticity as the incarnation of the life-transforming and barrier-breaking body of Christ.” Book of Resolution, No 3443

United Methodist Women Karen Morray, Conference President United Methodist Women (UMW) of Oregon-Idaho are lay women called to support mission globally and locally. Our “ﬁ rst-mile giving” is of course to our local churches for ministry and apportionments. Our “second- mile giving” to United Methodist Women goes out beyond the local church to support mission with women, children, and youth. In 2015 our women pledged, earned, and gave over $125,000 to support our Regional Missionaries, our Mission Institutions, and our international mission work. We also collected and donated over $5,000 for UMCOR and over $5,000 in special offerings, for a total mission giving of over $135,000. United Methodist Women’s missions are determined by our own National Board of Directors. It is important for clergy to respect this separate ﬁ nancial stream. We encourage clergy to celebrate the second-mile “mission giving” of the United Methodist Women in your church. Pre-Conference Reports 143 The Gertrude Boyd Crane Scholarships, administered by UMW, support Oregon-Idaho women studying for church-related professions. In 2015 we awarded the scholarship to Anna Eckelbarger Salas. Past recipients include Laura Jaquith Bartlett, Gwen Drake, Peg Lofsvold, Kalina Seluvaia Malua-Katoa, Ruth Marsh, Wendy Woodworth, and many other Oregon-Idaho luminaries.

In 2015 we were pleased to award the Zimmerman Grant to Camping and Retreat Ministries to underwrite the participation of Niimiipuu youth and adults at the Wallowa Lake Horse Camp, and Native families at Huckleberry Family Camp at Magruder. We also awarded grant money to the Lillian Vallely School, a Christian school for Native American children and youth in Blackfoot, Idaho, to underwrite their cultural arts teacher. The Isobel F. Zimmerman Grant, managed by United Methodist Women, was created to support leadership development among Native American and African American women and youth in Oregon and Idaho.

United Methodist Women from Oregon-Idaho Conference have participated in many events this year that develop our ties with the larger church and its mission in the world: **We held Mission u at Nazarene Retreat Center (Idaho) and Alton Collins Retreat Center (Oregon). Studies were: “The Church and People with Disabilities”; “Latin America, People and Faith”; and “Created for Happiness: Understanding Your Life in God”. We are grateful to Rev. Janine Delaunay, Dr. Roger Boe, Rev. Rhoda Pittman Markus, Linda Sheirman and Rochelle Killett for leading these studies. **We elected Yuni Rueda from Amistad y Fe UMC in Wilder and JoAnn English from First UMC in Eugene to attend National Seminar in summer 2105 in Chicago, the theme of which was “Interrupting Indifference: Jesus, Justice and Joy.” They received training in social justice action around the four 2016-2019 Social Action foci for UMW: Mass Incarceration (including human trafﬁ cking and ICE), Maternal and Child Health, Climate Justice, and Economic Injustice (income inequality). **Bishop Grant Hagiya was our keynote speaker at our 2015 Annual Meeting at Tigard UMC. He spoke inspirationally on the theme, “Feeding the 5,000: Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually.” He and Rev. Jeremy Hajdu-Paulen served communion for those in attendance. **Seven women from Oregon-Idaho attended Leadership Development Days in Arizona. Leadership from the National Ofﬁ ce of UMW drew upon the story of Esther, to discern with us how we are called “for such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14)

We encourage clergy leaders to support your church’s unit of UMW with your prayers and presence. According to Discipline, every United Methodist church “shall have” a unit of UMW. A thriving unit is a sign of a thriving congregation, and a strong unit strengthens its church with its mission focus, leadership development, and supportive community. United Methodist Women, organized for mission, develop disciples and transform the world.

United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) Becky Platt, UMVIM Coordinator 2015-2106 has been a year of continued growth and activity in the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission program in the Oregon-Idaho Conference. As part of a larger Global Missions effort within the conference, our work is guided and encouraged by our Global Missions Secretary (Jim Frisbie) and our Director of Missions and Ministry (Lowell Greathouse), and supported by a host of others including Dan Moseler, Sally Blanchard and Roz Collins. New this coming year, we’ll be joined by new team members Sue Owen and Jim Monroe, who will be my co-coordinators for the UMVIM program. They bring a wealth of mission experience, both in leading teams and receiving them, and are looking forward to helping us all more fully engage in mission activities.

Again, this year we will formally offer prayers of thanksgiving for past teams and prayers of blessing for future ones. Register your team for this recognition at: umoi-reg.brtapp.com/ AC2016UMCIMPrayerForm or visit the UMVIM table in the Ministry Marketplace at the Convention Center where you’ll not only be able to register, but you’ll see a map connecting all the places we come from with all the places we are in mission. 144 Pre-Conference Reports This year’s program accomplishments include: **26 newly trained and certifi ed ERTs plus a (nearly) certifi ed ERT Trainer that will make it easier to expand the program within the conference. We are planning another ERT class in Lake Oswego in early July (details TBD; check the UMVIM table in the Ministry Marketplace). **Introduction of the “Connecting Neighbors” curriculum to conference churches. Lake Oswego, where the effort is being led by Sally Blanchard, is deep into increasing its community connectedness and disaster preparedness. Churches in the Willamette Valley and Eastern Oregon have also had an opportunity to participate in this class. We’ll bring this program to other areas in the fall. **2 trained and certifi ed team leaders per our new conference guidelines. Congratulations to Etha Carruthers and Louise Kienzle. **Deeper integration into UMVIM activities around the Western Jurisdiction and the US. Becky has had the opportunity to meet with much of the GBGM staff as well as all of the other jurisdictional coordinators to learn about and discuss programs all over the world.

As a reminder, our conference UMVIM policies, guidelines and forms can be found on the conference website at umoi.org/UMVIM. All teams and team leaders are encouraged to take advantage of these resources as well as reaching out to the conference coordinators for further assistance. As in 2014-2015, the conference will pay for any background checks needed and for part of the insurance required for any team activities; contact Becky Platt at [email protected] to access these funds.

Commission on Archives and History Nancie Fadeley, Chair; Shirley Manning Knepp, Oregon Archivist; Linda Tewksbury, Idaho Archivist

In 2015 the emphasis was on locating material for all closed churches in Oregon. The Oregon Archivist has worked on making ﬁ les for each of the closed churches from the late 1800’s to the present. These include churches representing the Methodist Episcopal Church North, Methodist Episcopal Church South, The Methodist Church, The United Methodist Church and the Ethnic churches: German, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean. Several early California and Washington churches that were originally listed in the Oregon conference are included.

The highlight of the year was the publication of the 1862 diary of David Blain(e) in the July, 2015 issue of Methodist History by a volunteer, Laura Arksey. Her research skills made the diary come to life. She also had an article accepted by the Paciﬁ c Northwest Quarterly.

The Archive display at 2015 Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was on the theme of Native Americans. The resources of the Archives were used to tell the story of the conference relationship to the Indian as seen through reports in the conference journals. A timeline of the Deaconess relationship in Oregon from 1894 to 2015 was exhibited. There were photos of the three current Deaconesses in Oregon: Judi Day, Shirley Manning Knepp and Gloria Marple.

Material from the Oregon-Idaho Conference archives was used in Dale E. Soden’s newly published book, Outsiders in the Land of Promise: Religious Activists in the Paciﬁ c Northwest (Corvallis: Oregon State University Press, 2015). An Oregon pastor, Sherman Burgoyne, was mentioned in this book for his work with the Japanese Americans during World War II. Pre-Conference Reports 145 Shirley Knepp, Don Knepp and Linda Tewksbury attended the Western Jurisdictional Commission of Archive and History meeting in Colorado Springs, April 9-12. It was decided to have the commission meeting every two years.

The next WJCAH meeting will be in Anchorage, Alaska, June 26-29, 2017. This will be a joint meeting of the Western Jurisdictional Conference and the Historical Society of The United Methodist Church.

In November, Shirley attended the re-dedication of the Champoeg Commemorative Tablets for the grave markers of David Leslie and William H. Willson. They were early Methodist Episcopal missionaries. The ceremony was held at the Salem Pioneer Cemetery.

An interesting development happened when the Oregon Archives received, from the conference ofﬁ ce, seventeen slides and a script from a church in Linz, Austria. These slides were to have been returned in the 1960’s. Shirley contacted the minister in Linz and returned the material. The minister wrote that the church had been started by some of the 60,000 refugees that had settled in Linz at the close of World War II. The building was built with material out of the slit trenches from the war. The church was completely renovated in 1999. The congregation is diverse for Austrian standards: about one third of the congregation is from Africa (mostly Ghana). The Linz Methodist Church is now working with unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan who made their way to Europe without their families. It was a chance event that brought our two conferences together again after 50 years.

Equitable Compensation Commission Ruth Marsh, chair It is the responsibility of the Equitable Compensation Commission to recommend to the Annual Conference minimum standards for pastoral support. As we strive to make sure that pastors receive a living wage, we are continually aware that individual churches may have ﬁ nancial pressures that make paying a living wage difﬁ cult. Although the minimum salary amount for full time clergy in the OR- ID Annual Conference still falls below average for Annual Conferences within the US, the Equitable Compensation Commission recommends no increase in salary for 2017.

Compensation from the local church includes cash salary, utilities allowance and a home for the pastor’s use. The amount agreed upon at the beginning of the appointment year will be in force until the next appointment year. For the calendar year of 2017 we recommend total minimum compensation, including the use of a parsonage, to be set at the following rate:

Elder in Full Connection/Associate Member: $37,850 Provisional Member: $36,050 Local Pastor: $34,050

In addition, the minimum cash salary should be increased by $100 per year of service in the United Methodist Church, capped at a maximum of ten years or $1,000.

The Equitable Compensation Commission recommends the following housing guidelines relating to compensation:

1) For the purposes of housing policy, every parsonage will be considered as meeting the minimum compensation package. This is true whether the clergy are working full-time or part-time.

2) In Lieu of a parsonage, churches will pay a housing allowance to the clergy as part of the 146 Pre-Conference Reports total compensation package. The allowance will be at least commensurate to the percentage of employment (e.g. one quarter-time receives one quarter the housing allowance, one half-time receives one half the housing allowance.)

3) Churches and pastors may apply for an exemption to housing allowance recommendations under certain conditions. (For example, a pastor already has a house in the area, or adequate housing is easily available in the local community for a lesser rate.) If no exemption is applied for, churches must pay the housing portion of the ministerial compensation package.

The Commission also recommends, but can not require, that business and professional expenses, which are not part of a pastor’s compensation, be set at no less than $3,500 annually. This is the same amount as last year.

The Commission has requested that the Council on Finance and Administration set our budget for 2017 at $40,000 including $1,500 for the administrative costs of the Commission. This is the same amount as the 2016 budget year.

Council on Finance and Administration Wendy Joy Woodworth, President CF&A has been blessed with the work and commitment of our Conference Treasurer and Benefi ts Offi cer, Belinda Denicola, for the past two years. She has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience along with a solid foundation of the work being grounded in stewardship and for the purpose of ministry. Belinda submitted her resignation to CF&A in early 2016. Although she feels very called to this position and has been fulfi lled in her work with our conference, Belinda shared that she needs to return to Louisiana to be with her family. We value the priority and importance of family and wish Belinda well in her return to Louisiana. We are grateful for the opportunity to have been in ministry with her for the past two years and pray God’s blessing upon her in both family life and vocation in the years ahead.

We are excited to bring forth the recommendation of Rev. Dan Wilson-Fey as the Oregon-Idaho Conference Treasurer and Benefi ts Offi cer. The skills and leadership that Dan displayed during the interview process were impressive to the interview team. While serving in Honduras, Dan gained useful experience with management and personnel. As the Area Financial Executive for the General Board of Global Ministries, he managed accounting systems and funds for the church, land purchases, and hired staff. Dan shares the following as he prepares to move into this position: “I love creating conditions for people to succeed and thrive in living out their call to ministry in Jesus’ name. Helping to foster such an environment by consistently providing relevant, accurate, and complete information and analysis from the Treasurer’s offi ce is work to which I feel called. I view my work as helping to enable all within the Annual Conference to live out our mission to grow healthy, vital congregations that change lives and transform communities.”

As my time on CF&A comes to a close, I continue to refl ect on the theme of faithful stewardship. I recognize what a challenge it is in the local church to manage fi nancial resources for the sake of ministry at the congregational, district, Annual Conference and greater UMC level. We are in the midst of challenging times as we seek to right-size for ministry and fulfi ll our visions for ministry. As CF&A transitions into new leadership, I know that this challenge and concern will be taken seriously.

In 2015, we received apportionment dollars faithfully from the local churches and we carefully made decisions as to how to use those resources. Although the rate of receipts was less than that of 2014, the end result was the ability to support the ministries of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, pay 100% of our General Church Apportionments and 100% of our Jurisdictional Apportionments. This is the second year in a row we were able to accomplish this. We also were able to maintain our goal in our reserve funds of four months of funding. I am grateful for the faithful stewardship of local congregations and our Annual Conference. Together, we live out our mission of “making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” Pre-Conference Reports 147 As we prepare to meet for Annual Conference this year, I want to remind you that our work in CF&A is about more than money. We care deeply about the ministries of each local church and the health and vitality of our Annual Conference. Three years ago we refl ected on personal stewardship during our report time. Two years ago we focused on congregational stewardship. Last year we considered our conference theme “Restoring the Sacred Circle” in terms of our call to faithful stewardship as an Annual Conference and were blessed by the story The Give Away by Ray Buckley. This year we will entwine our Annual Conference theme of “Sabbath: Rest, Rejoice and Return” as we refl ect on our call to faithful stewardship and the challenges we face for fi nancially sustainable ministry in the future.

Our work is about ministry. Our work is about people. Our work is about empowering congregations to share the love of God and grace of Christ Jesus. Our work is about faithful stewardship. Our work is about you, your local church and our Annual Conference. May God’s Spirit be in the midst of all of our work.

ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION 1. Between sessions of the Annual Conference, the Council on Finance and Administration shall implement a spending plan based upon anticipated receipts and projected expenses. 2. The fi rst 200 miles to the Annual Conference session will be exempted from mileage reimbursement. 3. Lay Members entitled to reimbursement under Conference Rule 1.030 will be reimbursed for housing and meals while attending the session; the maximum amount of reimbursement is set at $400 for 2016 . 4. The Oregon-Idaho Conference Council on Finance and Administration is authorized to borrow up to $500,000 on an open line of credit to cover essential and authorized expenditures during intervals dictated by cash fl ow needs. Interest on such borrowed funds will be paid from the “Contingency” line item in the budget. 5. The General Fund is maintained and administered by the Council on Finance and Administration. The General Fund reserve (balance) provides working capital (cash fl ow) for the operation of the Conference, emergencies and unexpected needs that arise from time to time. The annual net operating results in the budget funds not otherwise designated will provide the basis for the General Fund. The General Fund reserve needs to be large enough ($1.5 million) to support several months of operating expenses for the Conference – to act as a cash fl ow. 6. The following organizations are given permission to solicit funds among the churches of the Conference without quota: Willamette University Pacifi c School of Religion Alaska Pacifi c University Rust College United Methodist Campus Ministries of the Conference Willamette View Foundation Wilson House, Salem Clergy-mates Emergency Fund Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon Northwest United Methodist Foundation Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Minister’s Retirement Fund Partnership with Liberia Annual Conference Oregon Idaho Camp and Retreat Ministries 148 Pre-Conference Reports Board of Ordained Ministry Linda Quanstrom, Chair The Board of Ordained Ministry continues to forward its commitment to recruit, nurture, prepare, and credential excellent and outstanding individuals for ordained ministry.

Though our class of candidates has been small of late, it is growing and our Candidacy Summit and Orientation to Ministry gathering of August 2015 drew a good number of very promising prospects. The CSOtM is an opportunity for potential ministry candidates, as well as candidates in the early stages of candidacy, to learn more about the variety of set-apart ministries (deacons, elders, and local pastors) and their distinctions. It is inspirational as well as instructive wherein candidates and current clergy share their call stories and celebrate the many ways God calls us.

In its February 2016 meeting, the Board moved to recommend two individuals for provisional elder status to this year’s Clergy Session and we reviewed the progress of two provisional deacon candidates. Identifying individuals who show gifts and graces for ministry is something everyone within the Conference can do and so we encourage folks to inquire of people who show promise if they have considered entering the ministry or if they have ever felt a call to ministry. If they would or have, refer them to their pastor or to Rev Courtney McHill, the Board’s recruitment coordinator, and encourage them at every appropriate opportunity.

The Board continued its on-going practice of assessing the changing socio-economic and spiritual environment of our society and its implications for the Church (writ large) and speciﬁ cally for the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. We continue to consider what it means to ‘be church’ in today’s world and then to assess what kind of clergy will be best suited to envision, create and sustain meaningful and relevant spiritual environments and ministries.

We continue to connect regularly with the chairs and registrars of the District Committees on Ordained Ministry to clarify policies and procedures in order to foster a consistent and seamless process of review. Members of BOM and the DCOMs are working hard to prepare and assist the candidates balancing rigorous review with support and assistance. Further, we meet annually with the Bishop and Cabinet to maintain a uniﬁ ed vision and foster a cooperative, mutually beneﬁ cial working relationship.

Members of the Board of Ordained Ministry put in countless hours and effort to do the work that is its responsibility. Much of the work of the Board happens behind the scenes. We undertake our work with integrity and an awareness of its importance to the church now and in the future. We are grateful for the support and encouragement of many as we do our very best to provide principled Christian leaders for the church as we all seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

We invite you to be in prayer for the Board as we seek to be open to the leading of God’s Spirit, to be courageous enough to consider new ways of doing our work and to be wise enough to recommend for ordination those who, through God’s grace and gifting, can commend our Wesleyan approach to faith to future generations.

Conference Board of Pensions Danna Drum, Chair This continues to be a time of rapid change in the benefi ts world and the Conference Board of Pensions has not been immune to those changes. As the Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP) strives to faithfully balance the needs of its benefi ciaries and the liabilities and risks to the annual conference and local ministry settings, the CBOP has increasingly found itself struggling with diffi cult decisions that impact the lives of benefi ciaries and the settings in which they serve. Over the last year we have seen skyrocketing healthcare claims costs and the benefi ts industry has also been re-evaluating the actuarial tables which are used to help project long-term costs. These calculations are changing because the average life expectancy has increased. Pre-Conference Reports 149 Over the next year, the Conference Board of Pensions will continue to work to keep our liabilities funded for the long term. We are proposing some interim changes to health insurance offerings for 2017 with more changes expected for 2018 as we seek to contain costs and meet ongoing benefi ts needs into the future. We recognize that the health insurance changes will be challenging and are a sign of more signifi cant concerns within the annual conference regarding the sustainability of our current ministry model.

In an effort to clearly separate assets specifi cally designated for health benefi ts and pension and welfare benefi ts, the Conference Board of Pensions took steps to be separately incorporated. The CBOP will continue to be subject to the Book of Discipline and annual conference rules and policies. All steps to achieve incorporation will be completed by January 1, 2017.

In addition to its usual work, the CBOP has been represented on the Divestment Work Group to develop a plan for implementing the action request adopted by the 2015 annual conference session to divest from certain companies involved in the Israeli-Palestine conﬂ ict. The work group will be bringing a separate report to the annual conference about its work.

Health and Wellness Benefi ts Health insurance benefi ts continue to be provided through the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts HealthFlex Program. Active participants have opportunities to participate in wellness activities and receive incentives, including an annual health questionnaire and routine screening. All premium costs are directly billed and have not been included in apportionments in quite some time. In 2016, all plan participants shared in the cost of their health insurance.

The Board of Pensions is in its fourth year of providing a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) beneﬁ t for retired clergy. Due to the need to study the impact of the revised actuarial tables on long term liabilities, the 2017 HRA stipend will stay the same as in 2016, but the Conference Board of Pensions will re-evaluate the stipend for 2018.

2017 HRA Beneﬁ t for Retired Clergy Single Couple Retirees with more than 20 years of pre-82 $2,163 $4,326

Retirees who retired before January 1, 2011: At least 5 but fewer than 10 years of service $618 $1,236 At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $1,236 $2,472 At least 20 but fewer than 30 years of service $1,545 $3,090 30 or more years of service $1,854 $3,708

Retirees who retired after December 31, 2010: At least 10 but fewer than 20 years of service $927 $1,391 At least 20 but fewer than 30 years of service $1,236 $1,854 30 or more years of service $1,854 $2,781

Note: Years of service apply to years of service in the Oregon-Idaho and Alaska Conferences with pension and beneﬁ t claim upon the conference. The HRA stipend cannot be used to pay for health insurance premiums if the retiree is not enrolled in Medicare. If the retiree is enrolled in Medicare, the stipend can be used to offset Medicare or Medicare supplement premiums. According to the IRS, if a retiree is not enrolled in Medicare, the stipend can only be used to pay medical, dental or vision out-of- pocket expenses but not premiums.

The Board of Pensions is concerned about the 2015 claims history for the HealthFlex plan. In 2015, our claims totaled 148% of what we paid in premiums; thus, our 2017 premiums will see a 12% increase. The General Board of Pensions and Health Benefi ts caps premium increases at 12%, so it is likely the increase would have been much higher from another insurance provider. 150 Pre-Conference Reports Recognizing that changes may be necessary in the health insurance plan, the Board of Pensions convened a Health Insurance Committee with plan participants and local church representatives. The Health Insurance Committee made the following recommendations, which the Conference Board of Pensions affi rmed: 1. In 2017, continue to offer the same two plans as in 2016, Preferred Provider (PPO) Plan and Consumer Driven Health Plan (CDHP), to participants, but make the CDHP the default plan during open enrollment. 2. In 2017, CDHP participants will continue to pay $25 per month for single participant coverage or $75 per month for spouse/dependent coverage. 3. In 2017, participants selecting the PPO coverage will pay $125 per month for single participant coverage and $175 per month for spouse/dependent coverage. 4. In 2018, move to a defi ned health benefi ts contribution for ministry settings and a cafeteria plan (more options) for plan participants. The Conference Board of Pensions does not make these recommendations lightly and recognizes they have a signifi cant impact on local ministry settings and plan participants. The increased cost to PPO plan participants refl ects the signifi cant cost of this plan. However, the CBOP also understands that the CDHP is not an appropriate option for some plan participants.

Pension and Welfare Plans Due to changes made to retirement benefi ts by previous General Conferences, there are three retirement plans for which the Conference Board of Pensions has responsibility: the Pre-82 Pension Plan, Ministerial Pension Plan, and the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP). Depending on when clergy began their service, they may receive retirement benefi ts from one to three of these plans. CRSP was most recently modifi ed in 2013. Funding for CRSP is supported through direct billings to local congregations at 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation. All three plans are still fully funded.

The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides clergy death benefi ts, survivor children benefi ts, minimum surviving spouse benefi ts, and long-term disability benefi ts. CPP funding is also directly billed to the local churches or to the appropriate salary-paying unit.

Recognitions The Board of Pensions recognizes the following persons:

For retirement at the 2016 Annual Conference Session Jonathan Enz Jody Felton James Frisbie Rinya Frisbie William Gates April Hall Cutting Craig Hall Cutting Frederick Hoadley Jon Langenwalter Gregory Lindsay Robert Reasoner Allen Trachsel Charlotte Hartman – lay staff

The following clergy are on Medical Leave with Beneﬁ ts Philip William Kearse (FM) (July 1, 2010) Pre-Conference Reports 151 RECOMMENDATIONS The Conference Board of Pensions presents the following recommendations for your consideration and action.

Health Benefi ts 1. The Conference Board of Pensions, in consultation with the Council on Finance and Administration, is authorized to adjust the Conference Budget for Health Insurance Premiums and the monthly billed amount between sessions of the Annual Conference, if necessary, due to the receipt of new premium rate information from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts. 2. The Conference Board of Pensions is authorized to adopt new eligibility policies as required by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts for the HealthFlex Program. These policies may include procedures for the cancellation of coverage due to various circumstances. The effective date of these policies will be determined as required by the General Board. 3. The Conference Treasurer is authorized to bill 100 percent of Health Care Insurance Premiums to local churches. Twenty-fi ve dollars will be billed to single participants on the CDHP and $25 to participants with spouse/dependent CDHP coverage. One hundred twenty-fi ve dollars will be billed to single participants on the PPO plan and $175 to participants with spouse/dependent PPO coverage. 4. The active HealthFlex plan will be either choice (1) PPO B1000 OR choice (2) the Consumer Driven Health Plan – (CDHP). Both plans come with a prescription percentage co-pay plan. The CDHP will be the default plan. 5. The retiree health insurance plan is a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) stipend based on the number of years of service in the Oregon-Idaho and Alaska Conferences per the table above. 6. The following Health Insurance policies will be continued: a. No premium subsidy or stipend will be granted to participants retiring prior to the age of their Medicare eligibility. They shall be responsible for the full payment of their health insurance premium. Those who are eligible to retire under the forty-year rule (¶358.2c)) will be granted an exception to receive the retired subsidy or stipend for their medical expenses. Upon reaching the age for Medicare eligibility, and enrolling in the Medicare program, the clergy member shall be eligible for conference subsidy or stipend based on the then current schedule as approved by the annual conference. b. The conference shall pay 100 percent of the premium payment for those persons eligible for benefi ts under the CPP Disability program. After one year the conference will pay the premium for the participant and 50 percent of the premium for the spouse and/or family.

Pension and Welfare Plans 1. Effective January 1, 2017, the Pre-82 (MRPF) past service rate for ordained clergy and local pastors shall be $600 per service year, with 70 percent continuing payment to the surviving spouse, and that Addendum A of the Clergy Retirement Security Program be so amended. 2. Concerning the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church for CRSP at the rate of 13 percent of the pastor’s compensation (including cash salary plus utilities and housing allowance [25% of cash salary if parsonage is provided]] for eligible clergy. Cash salary includes deductions from payroll and any contributions toward social security. Local churches served by retired clergy are exempt from this billing. 3. The Conference Treasurer will bill each local church (with a pastor appointed three-quarter time or full time) at a rate of 3.2 percent of the pastor’s plan compensation for the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) for eligible clergy. 4.

Pre-Conference Reports 153 ADDENDUM: Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference

The Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for active, retired, terminated, or disabled clergypersons of the Conference: WHEREAS, the religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed ministers of the Church (“Clergypersons”); and WHEREAS, the practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active Clergypersons with a parsonage or a rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation; and WHEREAS, pensions or other amounts paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as an appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for Clergypersons who are or were members of this Conference and are eligible to receive such deferred compensation;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: THAT an amount equal to 100% of the pension, severance, or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (“GBOPHB”), during the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, to each active, retired, terminated, or disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson; and THAT the pension, severance, or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance designation applies will be any pension, severance, or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefi ts accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefi t under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson’s pension, severance, or disability plan benefi t as part of his or her gross compensation.

NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal (and, in most cases, state) income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2), and regulations thereunder, to the least of: (a) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolutions) for such year; (b) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or (c) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Each clergyperson or former clergyperson is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor to determine what deferred compensation is eligible to be claimed as a housing allowance exclusion. 154 Pre-Conference Reports BOARD OF PENSIONS INFORMATIONAL DATA

Some of this work involved changing legislation to conform with current rules. Other Action Requests consisted of rule changes, requiring correct numbering, conformation with other current rules, and coherence. This work has been done in preparation for the 2016 Annual Conference in Salem.

Looking ahead, we c an anticipate new leadership in 2016, requiring a complete review and update of existing rules. There will also be a need to re-write a current rule made archaic by legislation passed in a prior year.

Lastly, this year we are asking members of the Annual Conference to submit any ideas regarding rules changes over the summer of 2016, so that we can work with you to write legislation far in advance of Legislative Assembly 2017. Thank you for your collective efforts in this ministry,

Safe Sanctuaries Team Warren Light, Safe Sanctuaries Coordinator “God cares for all. God suffers when children, youth, and vulnerable adults suffer. The United Methodist church was founded by John Wesley who taught: First, do no harm. Do all the good you can. Stay in love with God . . . [we] recognize that staying in love with God requires safe sanctuary for the Vulnerable and support for survivors of sexual violence. This [policy] is a core missional statement . . . .” Template for Risk Reduction and Prevention Policies for Local Ministry Settings.

In 2016, the Safe Sanctuaries Team met with the District Administrative Asstants to offer support to there amazingly dedicated work in supporting churches efforts to become compliant with the UMOI standards for abuse risk reduction and prevention. The team discussed and acted on the following:

The critical need for ministries to carry adequate insurance regarding sexual abuse liability of $1 million/ $3 million. This coverage not only promises that insurance companies adequately cover liability [including legal support], but also provides survivors with adequate support. While some insurers are counseling lower coverages, the Team recognizes that lowering minimums puts churches and church folk at risk It also undercuts survivors. **Policy review has been suppored in over 25 churches. **Trainings - in person - have beneﬁ tted over 30 churches in the Eugene and Portland areas. **We are hoping to do a training in the Sage District next year. **Continuing budget support in 2016 continuing into 2017. **More follow-up with local ministry on policy writing, training, and events.

We encourage anyone with questions or ideas to contact us at [email protected] or 541.654.8144. Thank you and Blessings.

Statistician’s Report Ted Wimer, Conference Statistician We keep these records of what is going on in all of our congregations for many reasons. One of the most important is for the local church itself. We can see trends for how effective our local ministries and missions are. On a broader view, there are indicators which help us ﬁ nd areas of vitality in our Annual Conference. The GCFA collects these numbers from all of the Annual Conferences and compiles the data for the General boards and agencies; to see trends and to plan ahead 156 Pre-Conference Reports The 2015 total Professing Membership in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was 25,719; a 3% decrease from 2014. (This number was on a downward trend of over -12.8% during the time period 2009–2014 (~4,000persons). However, over the same time period (2009-2014) the number of Constituents in the churches had a gain of almost 5,000 persons.) This may be another indicator of the changing face of ‘rethinking church’.

The number of persons participating in Christian formation groups increased overall during 2015, with the majority of the increase (4%) in the “Other Adults” category. (Since 2009 they have increased by 20% (2009-2014)). Weekly Worship attendance, Sunday School attendance and VBS all decreased in 2014, as did other classes numbers; except for “short term classes for all ages,” which increased by 6%! The number of persons served by community outreach is up by 1%, to 279,529 persons. This indicator shows our overall emphasis on Local Church vitality through community outreach continues to grow. At the same time, the outreach for daycare ministries has decreased.

For 2015 the membership in the UMW decreased by 8% to 3052, while the amount they paid for local church and community work similarly slipped. The UMM membership and amount paid for local church and community work both decreased by 16%.

The number of UMVIM Teams sent decreased from 25 to 16; and the number of churches involved with sending speciﬁ c team members decreased! Many UMVIM areas were temporarily shut down due to local unrest in the region of the mission.

The total Number of Households giving to the local church stayed stable at 13,170, and the Total Income received for operations of the local churches stayed about the same at $26,819,749! The Market Value of Church property (buildings, land & equipment) increased slightly while the Value of other Church Owned Assets (bank accounts, securities, etc.) decreased. Debt secured by church-owned assets increased by 4%. The total Income Received for Operations Budget has stayed about the same in 2015, but the amount paid on all expenditures increased by 5%. The income from Interest and Dividends increased by 4% in 2015

The total amount remitted for General Advance Specials decreased; however the amount given to “non- UMC benevolent/charities” increased by 7% in 2015. One Great Hour of Sharing giving increased by 25% to $51,445. (In fact, all Special Sunday Giving increased slightly during 2015.)

Looking at individual local churches as well as background trends over the time period 2009-2015 there is one indicator which should be watched. Many local churches continue to support their operations even though their membership has declined. My conclusion is fewer people are feeling called to do more. If these loyalties are generational, then this may indicate future downturns in several areas.

To see all the statistics for 2015 – for individual churches as well as totals by District & the entire Annual Conference – look in your Annual Conference Journal – the very back of Volume 2.

Report of the Conference Treasurer & Benefi ts Offi cer Belinda Denicola It has been a busy second year as your Conference Treasurer and Benefi ts Offi cer. As I will be leaving this position to be with family back in Louisiana, it has been my extreme pleasure and a blessing to have had this opportunity and to have been associated with so many great people. I want to thank the support staff in my offi ce for being very supportive, patient and kind and my deep felt gratitude goes out to all of them. I know that you join me in expressing my gratitude as I offer a big “Thank You” to Sandra Reinemer, Assistant Treasurer/Controller; Lisa Pronovost, Assistant Benefi ts Offi cer/HR Manager; Jerryn Johnston, Accounts Receivable & Payables; Jennifer Aldrich, Former Bookkeeper for Camp & Retreat Ministries; Sally Blanchard, Offi ce Manager/Administrative Assistant; as well as the district, camping and Episcopal offi ce staff. They all have my deepest appreciation and admiration and I am in awe of each and every one of them. I also want to thank Bishop Hagiya and all the Greater Northwest Cabinet Pre-Conference Reports 157 members for their support and trust. Your conference leadership is the best in the denomination and I hope you get a chance to express your love and appreciation to them.

One of the biggest celebrations that I have experienced during the past two years was, because of reduced spending and adequate reserve levels, our conference was able to pay our 2014 and 2015 General and Jurisdictional Church apportionments at 100%! According to GCFA, this was the ﬁ rst time in memory this has been accomplished by the OR-ID Conference. We were able to accomplish this even though the 2015 Shared Ministry Giving was down almost 2% from 2014. The Special Askings and Special Sunday Offering receipts were also down from the previous year and my hope and prayer is that we do not forget how important these ministries are to the annual conference and making Disciples for Jesus Christ.

Another celebration worth lifting up is that the Council on Finance & Administration, for the second year in a row, is proposing no increase for the 2017 conference budget even though OR-ID received an almost 4% increase of the General Church apportionments.

Like CFA, the Conference Board of Pensions is dedicated to keeping spending down for local churches by not proposing an increase to health insurance premiums for the local churches in 2017, even though the claims experience was at a higher ratio than premiums received of about 148% causing the conference to receive a 12% premium increase. The board feels that by 2018, the conference will be faced with some tough decisions as to whether or not to adopt a cafeteria type plan offered by HealthFlex. The program offers participants more plan choices that will ﬁ t their individual and family needs.

I absolutely cannot leave out mentioning the hard work of the Conference Board of Trustees and especially its chair, Larry McClure. Larry and the board work extremely hard on issues of the Conference Center building, closed church property and liability and property insurance. Thank you for your expertise and tireless dedication.

These are a few of the many boards, agencies and committees that I served on as the Conference Treasurer and Beneﬁ ts Ofﬁ cer. My work has been plentiful and rewarding. My hope is that I made some small difference in Oregon-Idaho that will better our clergy, laity, churches, conference, and denomination. My prayer for you is that you are bold in your ministry to bring others to Christ. Thank you for letting me be a part of this wonderful conference and I will forever cherish my time in Oregon- Idaho. Les Bon Temps Roulet!

Conference Board of Trustees Larry McClure, president Church Properties Held in Trust During this past year, your Conference Trustees have or will be assuming responsibility for three churches whose congregations have voted to close. Dundee UMC discontinued ministries in June, 2015 but had already leased its facilities to another congregation and that lease has been extended. Woodlawn and Capitol Hill UMCs in Portland have voted to close.

We know the decision to say farewell is diffi cult but we encourage exploring new ways of serving communities as called for in Para 213 of the Discipline. After Sunnyside UMC in Portland offi cially disbanded in September, 2015 a discernment team has been allowing several nonprofi t organizations services to continue their programs for the Sunnyside community in this large historic facility. The team is working to create a 501.c.3 organization that would manage a new kind of ministry center. At Capitol Hill UMC in Portland, the Conference Board of Trustees approved the church’s recommendation that the Conference sell its property to Habitat for Humanity which will, in turn, transform the land into ten homes for low-income families whose sweat equity will keep payments low. United Methodists will be invited to participate on construction teams for one or more of these home-build efforts. Looking to the future, University Park UMC, a small urban congregation in Portland, has proactively voted to build 26 units of affordable housing on their church property while maintaining their congregation and retaining their current ministries. The church will be working with Home First Development to build this housing 158 Pre-Conference Reports project. Once completed, the effi ciency units will be managed by a property management company. UMOI Trustees approved serving as guarantor on the loan for some of the construction costs for a limited period of time. The projected date of completion is December 2017.

As the Annual Conference is ﬁ nding itself increasingly in the real estate and property management business, Trustees are exploring how to handle these responsibilities across four districts. A new set of guidelines is being developed to assist local churches and District Superintendents facing difﬁ cult decisions on aging buildings, changing demographics and declining memberships and how to discover new opportunities for ministry. These checklists for discontinuation, abandonment or merger of local church property will clarify what has to happen before, during and after churches vote to discontinue.

Our Conference chancellor Paul Cosgrove’s legal staff has been reviewing deeds of all UMOI churches and has discovered that many do not have the trust clause naming the Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Church Conference as the ultimate holder of assets. Some deeds still show outdated names for today’s churches such as Methodist Episcopal! Church Trustees are asked to physically examine their property deeds and not rely on previous Charge Conference reports which may have indicated the trust clause is included and that United Methodist is included in the name of the church. The Conference Treasurer will provide suggested wording when amending and re-recording the deed with county ofﬁ cials.

Conference Insurance Program The Board of Trustees continues to assess the viability of a master property insurance program for UMOI churches. In the meantime, local churches are reminded they must meet the minimum insurance guidelines adopted in 2015. We are testing what insurers would quote for a subset of 60 churches for whom we have enough information to prepare premium estimates. Each church would have a $5 M umbrella and a Directors and Ofﬁ cers limit.

Conference Center We continue to study ofﬁ ce needs for Conference staff in Portland and meeting room spaces for Conference gatherings. An architectural ﬁ rm has been selected. Complications in zoning and ownership of the underlying lots are delaying progress, however. First United Methodist Church and UMOI are working with the City of Portland on resolution of this matter.

Conference Investment Committee Pursuant to a 2015 Annual Conference directive, this committee has been working to divest Conference investment holdings of Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions and Hewlett Packard until they end their involvement with the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory. A Board of Trustees representative participates on this committee along with CF&A and the Board of Pensions. The Investment Committee has completed a strategy for divesting in the most prudent manner possible.

District Boards of Church Location and Buildings Trustees encourage active involvement of Boards of Church Location and Building as called for in Para 2519 of the Discipline. We applaud wider and earlier efforts to address changes in demographics and church membership as called for in Para 213 of the Discipline. We also support sharing of technical expertise across churches in a geographic area to help local church Trustees reduce repair and maintenance costs as they steward property Pre-Conference Reports 159 District Reports Cascadia District Peg Lofsvold, superintendent Linda Grund-Clampit, administrative assistant Lisa Radford, lay leader Be sure to keep my sabbaths, because the Sabbath is a sign between me and you in every generation so you will know that I am the Lord who makes you holy. (Exodus 31:13, CEB) Cascadia District is keeping the rhythm of Sabbath resting, rejoicing, and returning refreshed to ministry! In congregations, camp sites, campus ministry, and community engagement, there is much to celebrate for our work together in 2015.

We are called to Sabbath rest as a sign of remembrance and recognition of God’s great work among us. In Sunday sanctuaries and around campfi res, on youth group couches and at hospital bedsides, God is present; our ministry in all its forms points to God’s goodness. And there comes a time when our work is done, and we lay it down in gratitude of God’s blessing, “Well done, good and faithful servants.” In June 2015, the Dundee UMC congregation worshipped together for the last time. But though their ministry is complete, their sanctuary still hosts another congregation, and their community meal continues with new sponsors. Four clergy members in Cascadia are retiring from active ministry this year, and looking forward to the new adventures God has in store for them: Jonathan Enz, Jody Felton, Craig Hall-Cutting, and Jon Langenwalter. We give thanks for their long and faithful service to God’s Kin-dom. Jill Mayer, campus minister at Western Oregon, leaves us for a year’s graduate study in Europe. Our district lay leader, Lisa Radford, steps down this year, too. Through diffi cult personal challenges, Lisa served her church and the District with grace and grit, and unfl agging spirit. Thank you, Lisa, for your ministry and witness.

We rejoice in the Sabbath’s gifts to us in Cascadia: churches, people, ministry, and resources. Two of our congregations celebrated milestone anniversaries this year. Tillamook UMC is 150 years old, and Oregon City UMC marked 175 years of life! Generations have been blessed by their presence, with generations to come. We rejoice in new ministry, too. UM Ministries of Salem-Keizer launched in May, and have already out-stripped their ﬁ rst year goals to work together to reach new people for Christ. Bend Church launched worship in new ways and places for new people this year, including an arts-based experience; attendance is up 14%. Jefferson UMC expanded their food bank program with a new building and garden in partnership with the District Extension Society. Tiny Amity UMC doubled their worship attendance by moving to a music-ﬁ lled Sunday night service. We are reaching new people! There were 97 professions of faith in 2015, 45 more than the previous year. And 40 folks were welcomed in eleven congregations who had had no new members at all in 2014. So much rejoicing!

New outreach is bringing joy, too. Astoria hosts a new winter warming center (with huge ecumenical support), and Nehalem Bay opened a volunteer-staffed welcome center for the community. And John Day UMC is now led by an enthusiastic team of women giving their time and talent to a growing congregation with huge community impact. They were recognized by FEMA and UM Disaster Response teams for their courage and compassion during the wildﬁ res in summer 2015, as the heart of the community’s efforts to help. Cascadia was off the charts in support of Imagine No Malaria--over $110,000--twice the giving of any other district! This second-mile giving comes after extraordinary support of apportionment giving. 27 churches gave at 100% or more. Many more churches made signiﬁ cant gains in reaching the goal. Thank you for our generosity!

We return from Sabbath rest to a renewed spirit for sharing good news in 2016. The Holy Spirit is leading us to launch a new faith community with second-generation Hispanic families in Salem-Keizer. We will explore the possibilities for shared ministry on the north coast, Astoria to Tillamook, and in the mid- valley. Plans are shaping up for fall and spring events throughout the District to allow us time and space to share deeply, to learn and pray, and to celebrate the goodness of God’s Sabbath rest, rejoicing, and renewal. Thanks be to God! 160 Pre-Conference Reports Columbia District Erin Martin, District Superintendent Lydia Henry, District Lay Leader “Don’t think you need a lot of extra equipment for this. YOU are the equipment.” Mark 6:8 (The Message) It is hard to believe that my fi rst year as a District Superintendent is coming to an end. It has been a whirlwind year of ministry for me characterized by a steep learning curve, being introduced to hundreds of new people, and visiting ministry sites from Milwaukie to Rainier. It has been a year of incredible transition for myself and for my family as we relocated to Portland, moved into intentional Christian community, and completely reoriented ourselves to new life and work. I have grown tremendously and been stretched at times nearly to breaking. But, as I fi nish my fi rst year, I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the laity and clergy of the Columbia District, for my colleagues on the Cabinet, and for the ministry that we share in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for opening up your hearts to me. I was delighted to meet so many of you at our “Meet and Greet” events over the summer in Hermiston and Beaverton, and your warm hospitality to me set the tone for the work that we would do together this year. Thank you for welcoming me into your congregations and around your tables as together we did the work of the Charge Conference. Thank you for engaging with me in mission strategy, in sharing your dreams for ministry and for taking stock with me how all our ministry must change to meet the new invitations and challenges of future church. Together, we listened deeply to the Scripture call to be disciples of Jesus on the way, “preaching with joyful urgency that life can be radically different.” (Mark 6:13)

The work we did together at our Fall Charge Conferences helped me understand the collective longing for new vision and new direction. Thus, a District team came alongside me to do the work of creating a District Strategic Plan. The bulk of the Plan has been completed now and SMART goals have been set, and in the coming Fall, we will share together a common understanding of upcoming shared work. We are only at the beginning of creating something beautiful together, and my hope is that we will work hard, trust each other, risk our lives and build something where future generations of Christians will come and ﬁ nd life.

In the meantime, have a wonderful summer. Travel, play and drink deeply from the well of Sabbath rest. God is doing a new thing in our midst, and we will need our strength and our creativity to meet the future unafraid. Grace and peace to you all.

Crater Lake District Gwen Drake, District Superintendent Kay Burdick, District Administrative Assistant Teri Watanabe, District Lay Leader This is my ﬁ fth year as the Crater Lake District Superintendent. On July 1, 2016, the Rev. John Tucker will be appointed as the Crater Lake District Superintendent. Crater Lake District has 43 churches, 2 active campus ministry settings, and one United Methodist Camp.

In 2011, the Southern District Shared Ministry apportionment giving was 68.45%. In 2015, the Crater Lake District appointment percentage improved to 80.57%. This is a 12% increase in four years. The 2015 average worship attendance of all the churches in the district was 54. (In 2010, the average worship attendance was 63.) Twenty-six of the 43 congregations have an average worship attendance of under 50. Eight congregations average between 100 and 200.

Statistics do not tell the whole story. Not even close. We have congregations partnering with God to make a difference in people’s lives, in the neighborhood, in the world. Numbers and statistics do not tell these stories. Pre-Conference Reports 161 Many of our churches partner with community organizations and recovery groups. Many churches are the place where people who are living with food insecurity go to receive a hot meal or a bag of food. Several churches open their doors at night when the temperature drops below a certain temperature. Congregations take seriously Matthew 25 through feeding and meeting Jesus through the least of these. Snack packs are prepared for school children. Brown bag lunches are given to people without a permanent residence. Church property is a place for a community garden or a prayer labyrinth that the neighbors can access. Thrift stores, rummage sales, and bazaars are sources of supplemental income for mission projects and/or meeting the church budget. Many stories are shared that tell the story of a church that blesses the community surrounding it. They are the living example of Christ in the world.

Two of our churches, Albany United Methodist Church and Ebbert Memorial in Springﬁ eld were recognized as Rock Star Churches in their giving to Imagine No Malaria because either they gave more than $10,000 or at least $50 per regular church attendee. All our churches participated to help the Paciﬁ c Northwest Episcopal Area meet its million dollar goal by May 2016.

The stories of ministry happening in the Crater Lake District are too many to share: Messy Church, scholarships for graduating seniors, worship on the beach, trunk or treat, neighborhood block parties, manna for body and soul, Reconciling Congregations, community concerts, being bold disciples, praying for God to guide our mission, and many potlucks.

As I leave the Crater Lake District to be appointed as the Sage District Superintendent, I have been changed by all whom I have met. I leave with mixed emotions, not knowing the future for the Crater Lake District churches, but knowing they are faithful.

Sage District Kim Fields, District Superintendent A few years back I built a deck at our home. It was great fun and the best part was was when I ﬁ nally completed the project and was able to sit on my new deck with a cup of coffee in hand and survey what I had accomplished. There is something inherent in us that wants to see the concrete; the fruits of our labor; a measure of what we have accomplished. I think that is why many churches and pastors love to build things. Sit down and read through a few church histories. You will quickly discover that they are largely a chronology of the buildings built and additions made, of concrete observable accomplishments.

As I complete this, my sixth and ﬁ nal year as District Superintendent of the Sage District, there is something in me that yearns to sit on the deck and measure what we have accomplished together over the years. But how do you measure the effectiveness of a district? How do you measure how well we have done at making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world?

The only two concrete measures I have that I can cite with any conﬁ dence are worship attendance and payment of apportionments. Those are interesting numbers. On the one hand, Sage is the only district in the Greater Northwest to show an increase in average worship attendance between 2012 and 2013 and again in 2103 and 2014 (which are the most recent statistics available). On the other hand, we ranked at the bottom for apportionments paid in 2105 and are in last place for the current year.

What do those numbers mean? I am not sure. They are not direct measurements of disciple making or world transformation, but they are related and are important.

There are anecdotal measures, too. Six years ago only a few churches were involved in mission ﬁ eld engagement. Now it is more common than not to hear stories of backpack ministries, community meals, food banks, school partnerships, habitat builds and mission trips, to mention but a few. That said, as far as I can discern the world has not been transformed. By the same token, over half of the Sage churches have been through CLD and most have developed simple mission and vision statements. Yet few in the pews could describe who their church was focused on reaching or how their simple system of discipleship worked. Which again leads me to ask what does this mean? Again I am not sure. Perhaps I need to pour another cup of coffee and continue pondering it from my deck. 162 Pre-Conference Reports Still, I do know that it has been a tremendous honor to serve as the Sage DS for six years. I know I will deeply miss the good people of this district. I know that I will never get enough of driving over the Blue Mountains or watching the shadows play across the Sawtooths, the Tetons and Wallowa Lake. I will ever stand in awe of the Snake River Canyon and wonder at the Balanced Rock. And I can’t imagine cheering for another football team like I do for the Broncos.

Thank you all again for the privilege of serving alongside you. Vaya con Dios.

Candler School of Theology Atlanta, Georgia Jan Love, Dean For more than 100 years, Candler School of Theology at Emory University has prepared real people to make a real difference in the real world. Since our founding in 1914, over 10,000 students have graduated from Candler, where they have been shaped as Christian leaders who put faith and love into action, transforming the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

One of 13 ofﬁ cial seminaries of The United Methodist Church, Candler is also one of seven graduate professional schools of Emory University, a top-tier research institution offering extensive resources and a rich context for study. Our location in Atlanta provides a learning environment that reﬂ ects the highly diverse communities of the 21st century. Simply put, there is no better place for ministry preparation that addresses our major denominational priorities: developing leaders, starting and growing churches, ministry with the poor, and improving global health.

In order to keep pace with the needs of the church and the world, Candler now offers 17 degrees: seven single degrees and ten dual degrees pairing theology with bioethics, business, development practice, law, public health, or social work. One of our newest degrees is a retooled Doctor of Ministry that is 90 percent online, so students can remain in their places of ministry as they study—and apply what they learn in real time. We’ve also partnered with the University of Georgia’s School of Social Work to create an MDiv/MSW where students learn to maximize their effectiveness by combining pastoral skills such as spiritual counseling with social work practices such as family therapy and community assessment.

Our student body continues to reﬂ ect the diversity and breadth of the Christian faithful. 466 students are enrolled, with 48 percent women, 34 percent people of color (U.S.), and a median age of 29. Students represent 44 denominations, with 51 percent coming from the Methodist family. 82 percent of students are seeking a degree to prepare them as ministry professionals.

Candler has a deep commitment to alleviating student debt and employs a multi-pronged approach to tackle this issue. In 2015-2016, we awarded nearly $5.5 million in Candler scholarships, with 92 percent 164 Pre-Conference Reports of MDiv students and 84 percent of all students receiving support. And our comprehensive ﬁ nancial literacy program teaches money management skills that serve our students now and will continue to serve them—and the churches they serve—well into the future.

At the end of the 2015-2016 academic year, Candler says goodbye and Godspeed to a handful of noted faculty as they retire: Barbara Day Miller, Luke Timothy Johnson, Steve Tipton, and Bishop Woodie White. Yet even as these legends take their leave after distinguished careers of scholarship and service, we look forward to welcoming a new crop of scholar-leaders who will join us in the coming months and grow with us in the coming years. We are especially pleased to welcome Bishop Larry Goodpaster, who will join the faculty as bishop-in-residence in the fall of 2016.

Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulﬁ ll our mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries in the world depends upon your support, gifts, and prayers. Thank you for the countless ways you advance this vital ministry in the life of our denomination. Visit us in person in Atlanta or online at candler.emory.edu.

Claremont School of Theology Claremont, California Jeffrey Kuan, President Claremont School of Theology (CST) stands poised to enter one of the most signifi cant periods of growth in its history. Last July, the Board of Trustees approved a new strategic plan, entitled “Leveraging Our Past to Build Our Future.” The plan, which sets CST’s course for the next fi ve years, identifi es three strategic goals: 1. Promote Transformative Education 2. Engage Local and Global Communities 3. Achieve Long-Term Institutional Sustainability All three goals support CST’s driving purpose of Creating a Difference for the Church and for the world. The 2015-16 academic year has seen several signifi cant strides taken towards achieving these strategic goals.

CST has invested in growing and developing its programs offered in Hybrid/Online format, which allow students to take advantage of the transformative education that CST offers from wherever their lives are rooted. Students travel to Claremont for two weeks out of the year to take part in intensive in-person, collaborative work, while the remainder of coursework is completed in the context of their current lives and vocations.

CST began offering its Master of Divinity degree program in Hybrid/Online format in the fall of 2014. Enrollment for students in the Hybrid/Online program now equal that of the residential program. In January 2016, CST launched a brand new Hybrid/Online Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) in Spiritual Renewal, Contemplative Spirituality and Strategic Leadership. The program offers clergy and professional lay leaders an opportunity to refresh their perspective on vocation and ministry, while pursuing an individualized research topic over a two-year period. Half of students enrolled in both programs are United Methodist.

Shortly after the Strategic Plan was approved, resources were applied to pursuing a new Campus Master Plan for the School. DCG Real Estate, a consulting ﬁ rm specializing in master planning efforts by churches and schools, was contracted to evaluate the current campus infrastructure and make recommendations for meeting the School’s 21st century needs. In February 2016, the Board approved a period of discernment to evaluate whether it might be possible for CST to engage in a shared land deal with Claremont United Methodist Church, which is also evaluating its campus. In August 2016, the Board of Trustees will evaluate whether such a deal will help CST to achieve its strategic goal of long- term institutional sustainability. Pre-Conference Reports 165 On February 28, 2016, Claremont Sunday was observed for the second year in a row in the California- Paciﬁ c Annual Conference. Claremont Sunday offers an opportunity for the Annual Conference to celebrate its relationship with its seminary. Faculty, staff and students were invited to preach and share updates on the School at congregations throughout Southern California. And a special offering was taken to support CST’s mission to lift up the next generation of clergy and lay leaders for The United Methodist Church.

CST is saddened to share the news of the death of Professor Cornish Rogers, the School’s ﬁ rst African- American tenured professor. Prof. Rogers served United Methodist churches in Boston, New York City and Los Angeles. He served as News Editor for The Christian Century and was a classmate of Martin Luther King, Jr. at Boston University.

Claremont School of Theology is looking forward to having a presence at the 2016 General Conference of The United Methodist Church in Portland, OR. Alumni/ae, friends and those interested in pursuing a call to ministry are invited to stop by its booth to catch up and learn more about degree programs at CST. Special events will be held for alumni/ae and friends during General Conference. For details, contact Director of Alumni/ae Relations Noemi Ortega at [email protected] or (909) 447-2545.

The year ahead promises to be full of impactful ministry for CST, as it continues in its mission to Create a Difference for the Church and the world. Stay connected to life at CST by visiting cst.edu or following CST on social media on Facebook and on Twitter @CST_News.

Drew University Theological School Madison, New Jersey Javier A. Viera, Dean A Cohering Vision: Curriculum, Community, Co-Curricular Initiatives Nearly 150 years after our founding, we envision a future as bright as the best eras in our past. I am pleased to share with you here the concrete steps we have taken— and are taking— to bring this future to light.

We are focused on the three “C’s” of our cohering vision: redesigning our curriculum, strengthening our community of learning, and deepening training through revived co-curricular initiatives. These three aspects of a Drew Theological School education will work together to enable us to empower creative thought and courageous action to advance justice, peace, and love of God, neighbor, and the earth—as well as uniquely position us to lead evolving expressions of Christianity.

Designing distinct pathways from curriculum to vocation To remain meaningful and offer the greatest value to our students, each of the six degree paths that we offer must be as distinct as the ministry to which it leads. For example, our Master of Arts in Ministry program, which forms students for the broadest spectrum of theologically-informed advocacy and ministry, or our DMin program, which has become the “new” terminal vocational degree, must be custom rebuilt for current and emerging student needs and outcomes. This also holds true for our Master of Arts, Master of Sacred Theology, PhD, and, most critically, our Master of Divinity programs.

We have achieved our roadmap for curricular change through a period of intentional discernment, which included discussion with consultants, and with colleagues at peer institutions, who led a curricular formation retreats with our faculty; through the discernment and guidance of our faculty, and with the generous ﬁ nancial support of the Jesse Ball duPont Fund. Our next steps include a comprehensive analysis of pedagogical and technological trends in theological education, enrollment, and outcomes. Our redesigned curricular paths will be announced in the fall of 2017, concurrent with the 150th anniversary of the founding of Drew Theological School and the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.

Student experiences rooted in community Despite the increase in students pursuing their education through evening classes and online enrollment, 166 Pre-Conference Reports we remain committed to the on-campus experience of community. This begins with a student-centered educational experience that better attends to the scheduling needs of our students, offers broader course content and availability, and more intentionally integrates vocational or career aspirations with coursework.

Fostering innovation in ministry and the work of spirit-ﬁ lled justice To round out changes in our curriculum and on-campus learning experiences, we are also reviving co- curricular initiatives. The existing Center for Lifelong Learning will be recast as the new Center for Innovation and Leadership in Ministry and serve students, alumni, and others seeking to ﬁ nd creative and courageous approaches to revitalizing ministry. Here, programming will train pastoral leaders, in particular, for service in rapidly changing church environments, as well as position them to lead fearlessly and prophetically.

Success so far through our One and All Campaign As the 14th dean of Drew Theological School, I am deeply committed to continuing our long and distinguished legacy. To this end, our vision is innovative, forward-looking, and grounded in the practical needs of our students—we hope, too, that it is an inspiration to the various constituencies we serve. I fully subscribe to the inimitable words of Antonio Machado, that “we make the road by walking.” The road to this bright future we envision will be made by the dedication, determination, and generosity of those who love Drew and believe in its future.

Our vision is coming to light, in part, because of the generosity of our many alumni-donors and friends. Our One and All fundraising campaign has raised more than $12 million to date for the Theological School and has seed-funded many of our burgeoning efforts.

Also, I encourage our alumni to embrace your power of inﬂ uence to help grow philanthropic support for Drew Theological School. Many of our largest gifts have come from the inﬂ uence of alumni, particularly pastors who serve in our church communities.

Yes, the needs ahead are many, yet our hope is high for a bright future for Drew Theological School. The road is made by walking. Let’s walk it together.

Iliff School of Theology Denver, Colorado Thomas V. Wolfe, President and Chief Executive Ofﬁ cer Greetings from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. We wish you blessings as together we share the work of strengthening the Church and offering a compassionate presence to the World.

The Iliff School of Theology’s commitment to the Wesleyan ethos of providing hopeful, intellectually alive, and spiritually grounded theological education for each and every student over the course of their lifetime continues. Iliff’s identity is focused on educating leaders for three primary publics: the world, the church, and the academy. At Iliff, we refuse to choose between being a training home only for ministerial candidates, a center only for activists and scholar-activists, or a school only for academics. We believe all three are inseparable and enhance one another as we deliberately situate ourselves in the world and critically operate out of the world’s complexities.

As such, we recognize that the world’s religious landscape is changing and there is much at stake. Iliff recently completed its strategic plan, revised its curriculum, transformed its library, and initiated new relationships with other institutions. In collaboration with the people of Africa, we’ve started a discussion with Africa University (AU) to foster an educational alliance that will beneﬁ t Iliff and AU students. We have also joined a multi-institutional collaboration facilitated by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry and the HANA Scholarship to create a pipeline for Hispanic students from United Methodist related secondary schools and historically black colleges leading to graduate level theological education. Pre-Conference Reports 167 Iliff’s enrollment continues to be strong with 365 students joining us this academic year, 60% female and 40% male, 35% Methodist – all actively engaged in a host of ministry contexts. Their interest continues to be strong in Iliff’s online and hybrid classes. A concerted move by Iliff to reduce student debt and grow the ability of students to lead ﬁ nancially sound, engaged communities continues with many MDIV students participating in the Spiritually-Integrated Financial Resiliency Program, funded by a $250,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment.

Iliff’s numerous events for area clergy and supporters remains part of our foundation. Via forums and conferences on social justice, food justice, the role of faith in politics, environmental stewardship, theology and disability inclusion, and more. Campus speakers included Rev. Gerald Durley, nationally- known civil rights leader and this year’s Jameson Jones Preacher, Heather Jarvis, student debt reduction advocate, and more. Our efforts were duly noted by McCormick Theological Seminary’s Center for Faith and Service when we were named as one of the nation’s “Seminaries That Change the World” and our Master’s of Theology Program was ranked seventh in the nation by OnlineColleges.net.

We welcomed two new scholars to our faculty this year, Rev. Dr. Jennifer Leath, Assistant Professor of Religion and Social Justice and ordained in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and Rev. Michelle Watkins-Branch, Gerald L. Schlessman Professor in Methodist Studies and Assistant Professor of Theology and ordained in the United Methodist Church.

We continue to look forward with a courageous theological imagination. We are sincerely grateful for your support of theological education and the Ministerial Education Fund. Website: iliff.edu.

Rust College Holly Springs, Mississippi David L. Beckley, President Established in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Aid Society of the Methodist Church on a former slave auction site, Rust College reached another milestone in the 2015-2016 academic year – the 150th Anniversary of its founding. Rust is the oldest one of 11 Historically Black Colleges and Universities established after the Civil War by the Methodist Church still in existence today serving more than 900 students annually from 26 states and six foreign countries. Rust’s mission continues to be in tune with the church’s overall philosophy: doing no harm, doing good and staying in love with Jesus Christ as we serve the young people who look to Rust as their bridge to a better tomorrow through education.

Rust College Religious Life is a diverse community providing the administration, faculty, staff and students sacred space to be fellow travelers on a journey of faith that leads to transformation of the individual and the world. The Ofﬁ ce of the Chaplain oversees religious life activities, coordinates training for student ministers, and provides counseling for administration, faculty, staff, and students.

Informed by Christian tradition, Rust College religious life strives to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ to a diverse higher education community. Grounded in the Wesleyan tradition, Rust is the place where “Tomorrow’s Leaders are Students Today.” Students who will be and do “all the good they can, by all the means they can, in all the ways they can, in all the places they can, at all the times they can to all the people they can, for as long as they can.”

Highlights for 2015-2016 year include: • Dr. Gemma Beckley, Chair and Professor of Social Work, spent the second semester of the 2015-2016 academic year doing research and teaching in India as a Fulbright Scholar. Dr. Beckley is the fi rst Fulbright awardee in Rust College history. • The Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation has provided a grant of $140,000 to the Rust College General Scholarship Fund for 2015-2016. • The College ended the 2014-2015 fi scal year with a balanced budget for the 49th consecutive year. (Annual Budget is $20,096,500). 168 Pre-Conference Reports • Rust College received a grant for $145,000 from the Hearin Foundation to support needy students seeking fi nancial aid. The total grant equaled $580,000 over a four year period. • Awarded an $80,000.00 Grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation. • A $478,464.00 Grant from Lilly Endowment Foundation will provide for a new program at • Rust College geared toward connecting high school students to theology and faith. • The College was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) • Grant of $250,000.00 per year for three years totaling $750,000.00. • Rust College Division of Business was recently ranked #5 out of 50 small colleges for business administration degree program by “Best Value Schools.com”. • Mississippian Debra Butler, Assistant Professor of Social Work, is named the Rust College “Teacher of the Year” by the Mississippi Humanities Council. • Our frugal fi scal practices continue to keep us fi nancially sound. For the last 49 years, Rust College has had a policy of only building “debt-free” non-income producing building. As a result of this policy, Rust has long term debts less than $1.5 million related to residential hall construction and renovations in 1990. We actively recruit foundations, corporations, alumni and friends for scholarship grants to help underwrite the tuition cost of our students who must have fi nancial support to get and stay in school. Our text book-use-system assists us in keeping our tuition and fees to a minimum. For example, in 2010 tuition, room, board, books and fees total • $10,930 annually. In 2015 the total cost is $13,600 which amounts to an increase of only $2,670 over a fi ve-year period.

As you, our friends of the United Methodist Church, continue to uphold your promise of educational opportunity established many years ago, we, the members of the Rust College family, will uphold the promise made by our founder, Rev. A. C. McDonald in 1866, “to do not hothouse work” but will work to build men and women morally, spiritually and academically sound. Again, thank you for your commitment to “our” legacy established 150 years ago. Your continued support is essential as we endeavor to build a stronger legacy for this generation and those in years to come who will look to Rust and our great church for higher educational opportunities.

United Theological Seminary Dayton, Ohio Dr. Kent Millard, Interim President United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio continues to educate a signiﬁ cant number of pastors and local church leaders for the Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church.

United has always focused on developing faithful, fruitful, inspired and inspiring pastors and local church leaders. 83% of the 2015 graduates of United are now serving in local congregations. 53% of the 2015 graduates from all other seminaries afﬁ liated with the Association of Theological Seminaries are serving in local congregations.

Furthermore, 44% of the current 449 students at United are African-American, which makes United one of the most racially diverse seminaries in the United States. An average of 12% of the student body at most seminaries in the United States are African American. 43% of the students at United are female compared to an average of 33% at other United States seminaries.

United is one of the most racially and gender diverse seminaries in the United States and produces a higher percentage of local church pastors than most other seminaries in the United States.

Pre-Conference Reports 169 United is also in the process of leadership transition. In November 2015, President Wendy Deichmann resigned as President and, after a well-deserved sabbatical, will return to serving as a Professor of History and Theology. Under President Deichmann, United was listed as one of the 12 fastest-growing seminaries in the United States largely because of the growing Doctor of Ministry program and our online degree programs. 44% of United›s students are in the Master of Divinity program, 41% are in the Doctor of Ministry program and 15% are in other degree or certiﬁ cate programs.

In January 2016, the United Board of Trustees selected Dr. Kent Millard, former pastor at St. Luke›s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, as Interim President while they search for a new President.

St. Paul wrote to his young friend Timothy these words of advice:

«I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands.» Second Timothy 1:6

United Theological Seminary, along with the other 12 United Methodist Seminaries in the United States, is committed to helping persons «rekindle the gift of God that is within» to provide educated, inspired and inspiring spiritual leaders for the United Methodist Church throughout the world.

Wesley Theological Seminary Washington, D.C. William D. Aldridge, Jr., Associate Dean of Admissions Called. Answered. Sent. Wesley Theological Seminary has been equipping and sending forth prophetic preachers, teachers, and leaders into diverse ministries throughout the church and around the world. Near and far, our alumni point to God’s love even as they join the Spirit in making disciples and shaping healthy communities. • With more than 410 master’s-level students preparing for leadership in the church and the world, Wesley remains one of the largest and most diverse theological schools in North America. • The Lewis Center for Church Leadership informs more than 17,000 pastors and lay leaders on trends and ideas through its e-newsletter. The center has inﬂ uenced more than 5,600 church leaders through leadership assessments, sexual ethics trainings, and fundraising trainings. • The new Institute for Community Engagement is forwarding Wesley’s mission of raising prophetic leaders in the public square through classes, partnerships, conferences, and resources.

Wesley Students Are Answering God’s Call Wesley provides more than $2 million dollars annually in scholarships to our students thanks to the consistent support of alumni, congregations and friends of the seminary. The Ministerial Education Fund and conference partners help us equip a broad range of students to serve the church as pastors and leaders. These include: • Two Master of Divinity students who are exploring ordination in the UMC that have created outreach opportunities for people who ordinarily would not consider going into a church. Zach Spoerl and Matt Wilke, working with three United Methodist Churches and Wesley, have started Pub Theology in downtown D.C., drawing spiritual-but-not-religious young adults into Christian community. • Master of Theological Studies student Jane Adams is working with denominations and congregations on issues of poverty and hunger in the U.S. As an intern at the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, she provides tools for building on charitable activities such as food pantries and backpack ministries. As a member of a local United Methodist congregation, she’s putting her knowledge to work in her local church and neighborhood, too. 170 Pre-Conference Reports Christian leadership must innovate for greater faithfulness and be able to engage the full diversity of people within our society even while holding true to the foundations of our faith and tradition. The people named above – as well as so many more of our students – exemplify these aims. Read more about our students at wesleyseminary.edu/stories.

Mourning the Loss of a Christian Leader The Rev. Clementa Pinckney was a Doctor of Ministry student at Wesley in the Leadership Excellence track. He was working on a research project on the combined role of pastor and statesman, when his life was taken along with eight others at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. Rev. Pinckney exempliﬁ ed the spiritually powerful and prophetic leadership that is at the core of our mission.

To ensure Pinckney’s legacy continues, Wesley has established scholarships in his name for Doctor of Ministry candidates seeking to empower their congregations, engage their communities, and inﬂ uence public discourse. Additionally, Wesley has developed a Doctor of Ministry track exploring the intersection between public life and church leadership. This degree focus ampliﬁ es Wesley’s mission and location and, we hope, will raise up leaders to continue Pinckney’s legacy. https://www. wesleyseminary.edu/doctorofministry/

Seeking Connection We are on this journey of faith together. As you follow Jesus Christ, we pray and trust the Spirit will equip you to mentor future leaders and to help others identify God’s call to ministry on their lives. Let us know about someone you feel has the potential for Christian leadership by emailing us admissions@ wesleyseminary.edu. And may God’s transformative, creative Spirit lead all of us, as the body of Christ, to new and faithful ways of sharing God’s grace and love with all God’s people, for the redemption of the world.

In 1979 he achieved his dream of earning his Doctorate in Theology. He and Darlene were foster parents to 42 children over the years, adopting four children; he was a doting husband and father, focusing on Darlene’s care in the ﬁ nal years of her life. After 42 years of marriage, Darlene died in 2001 and Ben once again became active in his community. He became an Ombudsman for Elders in Action, which led to an incredible opportunity to volunteer for the Portland Police, working with elder victims of crime. He moved into a memory care home in October of 2013.

Ben’s philosophy of life was incredible: every day is a new opportunity, use it wisely. No matter the extent of his pain, Ben was positive and upbeat, his strong faith and work ethic leading the way. He touched many lives with his truly great sense of humor and gentle guidance and presence. 196 Memoirs Gary Ross August 5, 1940 - September 21, 2015

Organized Christianity began in the Oregon Territory in 1834 when Jason Lee, a Methodist minister from New England, responded to a call seeking a preacher to fulfi ll a request by Native Americans who had visited St. Louis. Th e exact reason for their visit is uncertain, but it was widely reported in church circles at the time that these Indians were seeking religious instruction for their people about “the white man’s Book of Heaven” they had heard about from white fur traders and trappers. Th e report of their visit redfi the imagination of many people in the churches. Th e Methodist Board of Missions was the fi rst to react by sending Lee over the Oregon Trail as head of a party consisting of his nephew and three lay persons. Th eir purpose was to establish a missionary eff ort aimed at converting the indigenous Native Americans and teaching them the arts of civilization. On the way to Oregon, near the present town of Blackfoot, Idaho, Lee preached to a gathering of trappers in a service that is regarded as the fi rst formal Protestant sermon in the West. Th e party reached Fort Vancouver, according to Lee, “aft er a long and fatiguing journey, replete with mercies, deprivations, toil, and prosperity” and received a warm welcome by John McLoughlin of the Hudson’s Bay Co. McLoughlin advised Lee to establish his mission in the Willamette Valley. Th e fi rst station was about ten miles north of the present Salem where Lee organized a Class, the normal 19th century way for Methodism to begin a local church. Almost immediately they began caring for several orphaned Indian children. Th ey moved later to a place they called by an Indian name, Chemeketa, on a site which is now Willamette University. Th ey wasted no time in putting up buildings and establishing gardens for food. Soon Lee saw the need for more personnel. In 1837 a physician, a blacksmith, a carpenter, four unmarried female teachers and two more ordained ministers arrived to reinforce the mission. Th en in 1838 Jason Lee set out on the long journey east to recruit more missionaries and to raise money for the Oregon Mission. On this same trip he also delivered a petition to Congress urging them to make Oregon a territory of the United States. Lee and his associates were not notably successful at converting Indians, although they believed they were preaching the pure Gospel. One of the early reinforcements of clergy to the mission, Gustavus Hines, described their preaching in this way: “We preached to them the Gospel as well as we could...giving them an account of the creation of the world, the fall of man, the advent, suff erings, death, and resurrection, ascension and intercession of Christ to save mankind from sin, death, and hell.” Th e lack of response by the Indians was due in part to the heavy losses among the Indian people to various white-born diseases for which they had no immunities. By 1840 there were stations fi xed at Nisqually, Clatsop, Umpqua (Wilbur), Wascopam (Th e Dalles), Willamette (Chemeketa—now Salem), and Willamette Falls (Oregon City). (Th e Nisqually mission at the southern end of Puget Sound, was the fi rst U.S. settlement north of the Columbia River and West of the Cascades.) What started out as a foreign mission to the Indians in the Oregon Territory, soon became a ministry to the increasing number of white American settlers coming by wagon train over the Oregon Trail and by ship around the Horn. To meet this unexpected need, Lee helped found the white-settler oriented churches in Salem and Oregon City. Lee’s tenure as head of the mission ended, however, when the Methodist Episcopal Board of Missions judged (from unclear evidence) that the mission operations were becoming a secular rather than a spiritual mission. Taking action unknown to Lee at the time, they recalled him and appointed George Gary to de-secularize the Oregon Mission. Gary followed orders but soon resigned to be replaced in 1847 by William Roberts, a friend of Lee’s who shared Lee’s missionary zeal to both Indians and whites. In 1849 William Roberts formally organized the Oregon and California Mission Conference that included the present states of Oregon, Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and part of Montana! Th ough this vast territory included many Methodist “preaching places” most of the churches were in the Willamette Valley — Salem Circuit, Oregon City, Portland, Yamhill Circuit, Marys River Circuit and Astoria and Clatsop, a few in northern California, and one in Santa Fe. Th e gold 210 History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference 211 rush to California soon changed everything as more preaching places arose in California than in all the rest of the Conference combined. It also caused a huge migration of men out of the Willamette Valley. In 1852 the Oregon and California Mission Conference was divided; the northern part became Th e Oregon Conference. At its fi rst session in 1853 there were twenty-one traveling preachers who along with Superintendent William Roberts and Bishop Edward Ames organized the conference. Gold was discovered in the Boise Basin in 1860, swelling the population to nearly 15,000 persons, most of whom rushed from one “strike” to another. Th ese soldiers of fortune seemed like a “diff erent breed” from the pioneer farmers of the Willamette Valley; they were much harder to evangelize, as ministers sent by the Oregon Conference soon realized. C. S. Kingsley, a retired Methodist preacher living in Idaho City, comments on this in a letter he wrote to a friend: “It is a hard soil to cultivate. People forget God up here, except to profane his name. You can hardly appreciate our diffi culties, if you have never been in a mining camp.” Idaho City was one of the richest gold camps and rife with corruption and lawless behavior (“sheriff s were bandits, bankers were thieves, and drift ers, gamblers, whores, pimps, and other social leaches pretty well ran the city”). In 1863 a miner who had been converted to Methodism in the gold fi elds of California arrived in Idaho City before any Methodist circuit riders. Within a week of his arrival, he canvassed the town and discovered four Methodists. He organized them into a Class. Th ree months later C. S. Kingsley organized a Society and within a year a building was built. In 1864 the General Conference designated the Boundaries of the Oregon Annual Conference to include only the State of Oregon and the Washington Territory. Idaho was not included, though in 1865 William Roberts, then Presiding Elder of the Willamette District, was appointed by the Missionary Society as the superintendent of Methodist work in Idaho with the expectation that a new Conference would soon be organized. It was not until 1873, however, that the Oregon Annual Conference was divided along the crest of the Cascades, creating two conferences, one of which included eastern Oregon, eastern Washington Territory, and Idaho Territory. Th en in 1884 a Conference was formed that included only eastern Oregon and Idaho Territory. Two of the new conference’s most famous pioneer preachers were “Brother Van” Orsdell from Montana, and Th omas Iliff from Utah. Th e United Brethren Church had a number of members who migrated to Oregon. In 1849 a German American farmer, George Bethers, who lived on a land claim near Corvallis, wrote a letter to a United Brethren periodical asking for a preacher to be sent to Oregon. It took four years to raise enough money to send Rev. Th omas Jeff erson Connor who established the fi rst Class at the Union School house in Benton County in 1854. In 1867, Rev. Connor organized Philomath College with a starting enrollment of 100 students. In addition to the United Brethren, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began work in Oregon in 1858, establishing their fi rst Class at the McFarland School House (between present day Corvallis and Monroe). Th e Class established in Corvallis later on bought the buildings and grounds of a bankrupt school called Corvallis College. Th e church made it a very successful school that ultimately was designated as the Agricultural College of Oregon. Th e Methodist Church, South, however, in a few years gave up its part of the school, which then became Oregon Agricultural College (later, Oregon State University). Th e work of these early pastors and circuit riders was not for the faint of heart. One early preacher records that “we [he and his wife] have slept many times in barns with the horses and cattle, sometimes in the wagon, or on the ground under the trees of the forest: in weariness and painfulness, in watchings oft en, in hunger and thirst.” He adds, “But we are richer today for these experiences, and would gladly spend another life in the same way.” Camp Meetings were the primary tool for recruiting church members in Methodism up until about 1900. In 1843 Jason Lee conducted the fi rst camp meeting for white people ever held in Oregon. A pioneer describes a camp meeting held in the Willamette Valley about 1855: “Perhaps a thousand people were gathered. Th ey had come in their ox wagons...many had traveled fi ft y miles...to renew here the experiences and rekindle the emotions of the old life beyond the Rocky Mountains . . .One of the older missionaries preached at 8 o’clock...At 11:00 the Presiding Elder of the Willamette District ascended the stand and delivered one of his great religious orations. At 2:00 212 History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference p.m. one of the younger men who had entered the work...was the preacher. At night a still younger man...was put on the stand.” Camp Meetings gradually declined as preachers moved toward large revival meetings sponsored by local churches in their communities. Both provided a working model for the Sunday morning worship services in early northwest Methodist churches. One of the most urgent concerns of the Oregon Mission was to establish schools, at fi rst for Indians and later for white children. Th is task was originally delegated to Cyrus Shepherd, a trained teacher with experience in New England schools. Lee was proud of what Shepherd was doing in what became known as the Indian Mission Manual Labor School. Th e school didn’t survive Lee’s replacement who sold the building to the Oregon Mission, which had formed a school for white children, Th e Oregon Institute, of which Willamette University was the direct outgrowth and successor. During the early years of the Mission, there were no public schools, but there was intense interest in children receiving an education. Methodist clergy oft en led moves to develop facilities and instruction either sponsored by the church or the community. From 1858 to 1865 there were fi ve Methodist preachers who were county superintendents of common schools. In addition, the church started several schools of its own: Th e Portland Academy, Santiam Academy, Umpqua (or Wilbur) Academy, Oregon City Academy and Female Seminary, Sheridan Academy, Ashland College, Drain Academy and the aforementioned Corvallis College of the M.E. Church, South. Membership in the Oregon Conference showed both periods of growth and periods of decline beginning from the 1850s. By 1970 the membership was 67,215. However, this fi gure is the result of the 1969 merger of the Oregon and Idaho Conferences and does not refl ect the time when membership in both conferences was declining. Th is decline continued down to 1997 when the membership was reported as 39,129. A number of mergers have enriched and pluralized Methodism in Oregon since 1900. Oregon members of the Pacifi c German Conference (which was organized in 1905) were merged with the Oregon Conference in 1928. Nationally, three Methodist bodies—Methodist Episcopal Church, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Methodist Protestant Church—in 1939 agreed, as one church historian wrote, “to kiss and make peace.” Th is merger created Th e Methodist Church and involved the merger of several Oregon congregations and conferences. A Japanese Provisional Conference had been established in 1940 on the west coast but then the members in Oregon merged with the Oregon Conference in 1964. In 1968 the Evangelical United Brethren Church nationally merged with the Methodist Church, creating Th e United Methodist Church. Most EUB churches in Oregon chose to form a new denomination, though a few congregations merged with the Oregon Conference. In 1969 negotiations were completed for the merger of the Idaho Conference with the Oregon Conference to form the present Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. Currently, in Oregon Methodism the fastest growing ethnic group has been the establishment and growth of Korean Methodist congregations. Two new Korean congregations have been established within the bounds of the conference. Women preachers have been an important part of Oregon and Idaho Methodism. Some revivalist preachers were women and over the years the conference (and its predecessors) have had many women who were “supply” pastors serving local congregations, some of whom had what was termed a “local ordination.” Th e Idaho conference received its fi rst woman, Grace Weaver, into full connection in 1958. Th e Oregon conference received its fi rst woman, Ernestine Hitchcock, into full connection in 1960. In 1997 the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference was among the top 11 conferences with the highest percentage of women clergy (21.3% compared with the national average of 15.2%.). Th e style and content of preaching in Methodist churches in the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference has evolved in many forms. Th e circuit riders and itinerant preachers preached a message aimed at the sinner to repent and be converted. Th omas Pearne, the longtime editor of the Pacifi c Christian Advocate wrote in his memoirs that Methodist preaching in Oregon stressed the guilt and danger of sinners. Humor and sentiment were common in preaching. It was said that a Methodist preacher judged his (there were no ordained women among the circuit riders) sermon by the number of people weeping and thus ready to seek a new life. It took the pragmatism of an Oregon preacher, however, to remind his readers that it is not best to keep penitent people kneeling too long History of the Oregon-Idaho Conference 213 because they might “forget the sorrow of a broken heart by feeling the tortures of painful knees.” Th e style and content of Methodist preaching gradually evolved from preaching for a conversion and preaching the moral and good life, to preaching toward problems and issues facing the lives of people. Many preachers today use the Revised Common Lectionary as the basis for sermons. Issues that the Oregon-Idaho Conference has dealt with have varied from how to keep the many schools and academies afl oat fi nancially, how to increase membership in the conference, how to increase the life of the Spirit among Methodists, and how best to organize themselves for eff ective ministry. Over the years, the Conference recognized the importance of camping experiences for young people. A camping program using several camp and retreat sites in both states has been developed that is currently one of the fi nest in United Methodism. Many social issues have concerned the conference through the years. Th e internment of Japanese-Americans on the west coast at the outset of World War II was denounced by several Methodist clergy who brought the issue to the conference. A couple of them paid a severe price for their advocacy of justice for the Japanese-American people. Various forms of pacifi sm were advocated in conference debates during World War II, culminating in offi cial censure of Willamette University for its acceptance of an Air R.O.T.C. training program on the campus. At the end of the twentieth century, the liveliest debates were on issues surrounding homosexuality. Two preachers from this Annual Conference have been elected to the episcopacy. Th e fi rst was Bruce R. Baxter, who was president of Willamette University when he was elected in 1940. Th e second person was Minerva Carcaño, who was serving as the superintendent of the Metropolitan District when she was elected by the Jurisdictional Conference in 2004. What of the future? According to Shakespeare, “the past is prologue.” But prologue to what? It is not given to us to know. Perhaps what we can be most sure of was summed up by an historian of Oregon Methodism, Robert Peters (a retired member of the Conference): Th is conference has had to think of the plodding task, the oft en disappointed task of seeing that we’re not living in the glory days. Our glory, as a matter of fact, is not in spectacular achievement. It is rather in being faithful to the witness, to the word of hope. ... God called us to this place when it was a rustic frontier to remind each Indian, each settler, that God cared what happened here, how we live with our lives and how we built our society. And that God does not leave us alone ever, wherever we may be in seeking to be faithful. Th at’s our task. It’s ever been our task, and it shall be our task on into our future. © Raymond E. Balcomb and Robert W. Burtner

[Editor’s Note: Th is short history was written in 1999 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Oregon and California Mission Conference by the Rev. William Roberts (it was updated slightly in 2005). Th e authors, the Rev. Raymond E. Balcomb and the Rev. Robert W. Burtner, both joined the company of saints within a few months of each other. Th eir essay has become part of the history of their ministry, a legacy to the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, which they each served long and well.] History of the OR-ID Conference Sessions Th e General Conference of 1849 authorized the formation of “the Oregon and California Mission Conference” with two districts, “the Oregon District,” and “the California District.” With this impos- sible geographical spread it is not surprising that the two never met together as one conference. Th e Oregon District met four times on its own from 1849 to 1852 with William Roberts presiding. Th e 1852 General Conference faced the inevitable transportation problem by authorizing the formation of two annual conferences: Oregon and California. Th e Oregon Annual Conference was organized in 1853 with 13 pastoral charges and a few educational institutions to which clergy were appointed. Th e list below begins with that fi rst Oregon conference in 1853. Th e Idaho conference began as a separate conference in 1884 and is included in the list. Th e merger of these two conferences took place in 1969 to form the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference. Th is list does not include the Methodist Church, South, which merged in 1939. Nor does it include the Northwest Annual Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church that merged with the Oregon Conference in 1968. (Th e listing of its conference sessions can be found in the 1971 PNW (E) Journal.) Note: James H. Wilbur (1885), E. C. Benson (1886), and C. S. Kingsley (1861 and 1869) are listed as presiding over the Oregon Conference but were not bishops. Date Location Presiding Bishop

In 1784 at the organizing conference of the Methodist Church in America it was noted in the minutes that “following the counsel of Mr. Wesley, who recommended the Episcopal mode of Church government, we thought it best to become an Episcopal Church, making the Episcopal offi ce elective, and the elect superintendent or bishop amenable to the body of ministers and preachers.” It was Wesley’s strong advice to designate Asbury and Coke as general superintendents of the new church (Wesley refused to use the word “bishop.”). Th is advice was followed with the exception that these two were designated as “bishops.” As the church grew and more bishops were elected, there were debates about the offi ce of bishop. One lingering issue was whether or not a bishop should be “localized,” that is assigned to a given annual conference. Before 1939 the prevailing practice was to consider the bishop as a general superintendent over the whole church and not assigned to any one annual conference. Up until 1939 all bishops were elected by the General Conference. Th ere were designated cities in which they were asked to reside but the actual assignments of bishops to preside at each annual conference were made by the bishops themselves, hence the many diff erent bishops found on our roster. Th e merger of Methodist denominations in 1939 brought about a new system of electing and assigning bishops to annual conferences. Instead of the General Conference electing bishops, each geographical jurisdictional conference elects its own bishop, and each bishop is assigned to specifi c episcopal area within that jurisdiction. In 2012 the Western Jurisdictional Conference created a new episcopal area: the Greater Northwest Area, made up of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, the Pacifi c Northwest Annual Conference, and the Alaska Conference.

274 2017 Conference Budget Summary

2017 2016 % Proposed Approved Change Total Conference Budget $ 7,234,142 $ 4,250,021 + 70.21% Other Funding $ -3,487,986 $ -503,865 + 592.25% Total Apportioned Budget $ 3,746,156 $ 3,746,156 - 0.00%

Introductory Notes Th e 2017 budget shows an increase of 70.21% or $2,984,121 over the 2016 budget, but more importantly, the proposed 2017 apportioned budget has no increase or decrease over the 2016 apportioned budget. As you will note, along with the budget increase, there is an increase in “Other Funding.” Th e primary source of the increase in both budget and funding is a change in the way we record benefi t costs paid by the local church. Th ese costs were included in the budget in the past, but as we moved from apportioning to directly billing those benefi ts, the total amount was not as clearly refl ected in our budget considerations. We felt this transparency in including the true cost of pension and health benefi ts for clergy is important as we look at the various options of providing adequate health coverage for clergy that is sustainable by the local churches.

Budget Change Detail Compensation Increases. Th e budget allows for a 2% increase in compensation for all conference staff . Th e 2016 increase was 2.5%. Annual Conference action held appointive cabinet salaries at 2016 levels. Th e savings were reallocated to youth ministry. Episcopal Offi ce. Th is refl ects an increase due to the consolidation of the salary and benefi ts of the Episcopal staff and the increase in travel and meeting expenses for the GNW Cabinet. District Offi ces. Th is refl ects a 2% salary and benefi ts increase for district staff . Vital Congregations Project. Th is refl ects an increase in Other Funding which includes Special Askings, grants, proceeds from the sale of closed churches, and loan and investment income. Pension & Benefi t Funding. Th is refl ects the additional reporting of actual income and costs for such things as health insurance and pension benefi ts that had not been reported in the budget because they are directly billed to the local churches.

275 276 Conference Budget Summary
