PRE-CONVENTION REPORT OF THE BISHOP

Dear Partners in the Gospel,

From the moment Bishop Duncan announced that this diocese had elected me to be the next bishop, I have been asking lots of questions. I have been asking Jesus what He wants to do in and through the people in this network of congregations. I have been asking leaders in the Diocese about pressing needs and exciting opportunities. I have been asking everyone questions about history, ethos, values, hopes, expectations and where they see the Lord working.

From all of those conversations, six initiatives have distilled in my mind and heart. As I have shared these initiatives, they seem to resonate with leaders throughout the Diocese. I will present them to Convention as a game plan for the next season in our life as a Diocese. I will also invite the whole Diocese to pray about them, to talk about them, to speak into them, to help shape their implementation and to discover which of them the Lord calls you into most especially. Here is a brief summary of the six initiatives.

1. Intercessory Prayer "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). The Kingdom of God advances not primarily by human effort but by divine power. Jesus said that He would build His Church. The history of the Church shows that every advance has come as a result of women and men with “white hot faith” interceding (see Steve Addison, Movements that Change the World). Our most significant work, then, is prayer. Therefore, the first initiative is the development of a Diocesan Intercessory Prayer Network.

The work of the Diocesan Intercessory Prayer Network will be:  to catalyze intercessory prayer in all the parishes in the Diocese.  to collect and communicate prayer needs.  to train people in the work of intercessory prayer.  to exalt Jesus by sharing answers to prayer and reporting on His work.

2. Clergy Care The second initiative is to multiply the amount of care that the clergy of the Diocese experience. I have asked the Rev. Jonathan Millard and the Rev. Shari Hobby to work with me to develop a Clergy Care Leadership Team to spearhead this effort. This Leadership Team will help me do the following:  Provide direct care to clergy in need.  Provide direct care to clergy spouses and families.  Inspire self-care (spiritual, physical, emotional, social, mental).  Develop mutual care systems (where clergy are supporting one another through relational networks and small groups).  Train congregations in care of their pastors. In order to have healthy congregations we need healthy clergy. In order to have healthy clergy we need to develop and maintain a diocesan ethos that values and encourages that health.

3. Church Planting When Archbishop Duncan called for the planting of 1,000 churches in 5 years, he set in motion a movement that continues to shape the Anglican Church in North America. It has long been acknowledged that church planting is the most effective way of evangelizing a region or a culture. As our culture becomes increasingly skeptical of and hostile to the Church, church planting becomes absolutely crucial.

Our church planting initiative will focus on planters, plants, the unevangelized and potential partner/parent congregations. The Church Planting Leadership Team will work with me to make sure that our planters and plants have the support they need to thrive. They will also help to discern the strategy that the Lord is leading us to pursue in reaching those who have yet to know, worship and obey Him.

4. Congregational Health This initiative will focus on helping existing congregations gain an accurate assessment of their unique calling and gifting, and of their strengths and weaknesses. The Congregational Health Leadership Team will also come alongside congregations as they identify both challenges to and opportunities for mission and ministry. Just as each of us needs to ask, so we will encourage each congregation to ask, “What is my/our next step of obedience?”

5. Discipleship Since making disciples is at the heart of what Jesus commanded the Church to do, one of our initiatives needs to be the development of a comprehensive understanding of the process of becoming a mature, fully-formed disciple of Jesus. I will be recruiting a team to describe this process of spiritual formation and correlating it to how we develop physically, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and psychologically, from cradle to grave.

6. Leadership Development In order for us, as a Diocese, to continue to grow and thrive we will need a steady stream of leaders growing up in our congregations. We need to be sending our students to college as well-trained missionaries (rather than lambs to be sacrificed on the altar of secularism, materialism and hedonism). We need college graduates who feel called by God to serve Him as leaders in the Church, in education, in business, in medicine, etc.

In order for this to happen we need to think creatively and strategically about how to train leaders at every stage of life. We also need to provide opportunities for people to explore and to gain skills in leadership (internships, fellowships, etc.).

I will say more about all of these initiatives at Convention. But, I hope this begins to spark your imagination about how we can build on the strong foundation that has been laid in this Diocese. The history of this Diocese includes all six of these initiatives. None of them are new or novel. But, I believe that if we work together on all of them then the coming season in the life of this Diocese could be extraordinary!

A21

Resolution One Second Reading

In all Articles of the Constitution Amend “Parishes” to “Congregations” and “Parochial: to “Congregational” in the Constitution.

Rationale: The word Parish was used in different ways, sometimes interchangeably with Congregation. This change provides clarification and uniformity, as well as conformity with the terms used by the Anglican Church in North America.

The Resolution was adopted on second reading by both orders.

Resolution Two Second Reading

Proposed amendment to Article III, Section 4

Current Article

Members of Convention Section 4. No Parish shall be entitled to a representation in the Convention which does not comply with duly enacted Canons of the Diocese relating to assessments levied upon it by authority of the Convention, unless it shall not do so for reason which shall be deemed satisfactory by the Convention itself; and it shall be the of duty of the Diocesan Council, at the opening of each session, to present to the Secretary a list of such Parishes as are delinquent in this regard, in order that the same may be placed in the hands of the Committee on Claims of Deputies to Seats.

Article as Amended Section 4. No Parish shall be entitled to a representation in the Convention which does not comply with duly enacted Canons of the Diocese relating to assessments levied upon it by authority of the Convention, unless it shall not do so for reason which shall be deemed satisfactory by the Convention itself; and it shall be the of duty of the Diocesan Council, at the opening of each session, to present to the Secretary a list of such Parishes as are delinquent in this regard, in order that the same may be placed in the hands of the Committee on Claims of Deputies to Seats. Because contribution of the Godly Share reflects a Congregation’s sharing in the life of the Diocese, a failure by a Congregation to contribute its Godly Share shall be brought to the attention of the Convention as it convenes. In such cases, the Convention shall consider and decide whether, in wisdom and grace, the delegates from the Congregation should not be seated. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that delegates would be seated despite a Congregation’s failure to contribute its Godly Share. The decision of the Convention in this regard shall be final and unassailable.

Rationale: Changes language of Assessment to Godly Share. Further, it conforms to the current practice, affirming the norm and importance of a Congregation’s commitment to its Godly Share, while allowing for grace in the face of extraordinary circumstances.

The Resolution was adopted on second reading by both orders.

Resolution Three Second Reading

Proposed amendment to Article XI, Section 1

Current Article

Diocesan Council Section 1. The Diocesan Council shall consist of the Bishop, the Secretary of the Convention, the Chancellor of the Diocese, the President of the Board of Trustees, the President of the Standing Committee, the President of the Episcopal Church Women and three Deputies to Convention from each District (normally two lay and one ordained) elected in the manner and for the term specified by Canon duly enacted.

Article as Amended

Section 1. The Diocesan Council shall consist of the Bishop, the Secretary of the Convention, the Chancellor of the Diocese, the President of the Board of Trustees, the President of the Standing Committee, the President of the Episcopal Church Women and three Deputies to Convention from each District (normally two lay and one ordained) elected in the manner and for the term specified by Canon duly enacted.

Rationale: The President of the Episcopal Church Women is to be deleted because that organization is not part of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh as currently constituted. With the exception of the Chancellor of the Diocese, each of the ex officio members of Diocesan Council designated in the Constitution is elected to that office and has a particular role in the governance of the Diocese as a whole. As a result of discussion at the Diocesan Council as this proposed Amendment was being considered, the Council will consider a policy for communicating and coordinating with ministries and organizations active in the Diocese.

The Resolution was adopted on second reading by both orders.

Section 2. It shall be the duty of the Diocesan Council to prepare and report to each Convention a schedule of assessment upon the Parishes for the ensuing year, and such report, as it is finally adopted in Convention, shall be spirituality binding on the Parishes.

It shall be the duty of the Diocesan Council to prepare and report to each Convention a schedule of assessment upon the Parishes calculation of the Godly Share from the Congregations to the Diocese for the ensuing year, and such report, as it is finally adopted in Convention, shall be spirituality binding on the Parishes Congregations.

Rationale: Changes language of Assessment to Godly Share

The Resolution was adopted on second reading by both orders.

Resolution Five Second Reading

Proposed amendment to Article XIV

Current Article

Election of a Bishop The election of a Bishop for this Diocese shall be made in Convention, in the following manner: After nomination in open Convention, the Clergy and Laity shall ballot separately and a concurrent majority in both Orders shall be necessary to a choice. If two-thirds of either Order be represented at Convention, a majority vote shall determine the choice of such Order; otherwise, a vote of two-thirds shall be necessary for that purpose. PROVIDED, that in all cases of the election of a Bishop, no member of the Clergy shall be entitled to vote unless he or she shall have been, for at least six months immediately preceding the election, personally and canonically resident in this Diocese.

If two-thirds of either Order be represented at Convention, a majority vote shall determine the choice of such Order; otherwise, a vote of two-thirds shall be necessary for that purpose. PROVIDED, that in all cases of the election of a Bishop, no member of the Clergy shall be entitled to vote unless he or she

A24

shall have been, for at least six months immediately preceding the election, personally and canonically resident in this Diocese.

Rationale: This is an outdated canon. We now have clergy in a variety of states and countries who should have a say in the choice of a new Bishop, and who would arguably be foreclosed from voting in that election because they were not personally resident in the Diocese.

The Resolution was adopted on second reading by both orders.

Resolution Six First Reading Article XII Deputies to Extra-Diocesan Conventions or Synods

Section 1. At each Annual Convention, there shall be elected one member of the Clergy and one lay persons in office and number as determined by Canons of the Anglican Church in North America to serve as deputyies or delegates to any extra-diocesan conventions, synods or meetings that may occur between Annual Conventions and to which the Diocese shall be invited to send deputies. They shall possess the same qualifications as member of Standing Committee and shall be elected by a concurrent majority of both orders. The term of office shall be five years.

Section 2. At the same Convention, there shall be chosen in the same manner and with the same qualifications, the same number of Clergy and Laity to serve as alternate deputies. For any extra- diocesan convention or synod requiring fewer than five deputies or delegates, seniority in term shall be the basis for determining who shall represent the Diocese at that particular meeting. Any diocesan deputies not designated as deputies for said meeting would have status, by seniority in term, as alternates.

Section 3. Should a vacancy among the deputies or delegates occur by reason of resignation, removal from the Diocese, death or otherwise between the stated times of election, it shall be filled by the highest ranking Alternate, as determined by the General Rules of Order then such vacancy shall be filled as provided by Article IX, Section 5 of the Constitution..

Section 4. In case of failure or neglect of the Convention to elect deputies or delegates, those already in office shall continue until successors are chosen.

Section 5. It shall be the duty of the persons so elected to signify to the Bishop, in writing, at least one month before the meeting of the extra-diocesan convention or synod, their acceptance of the appointment and their intention to perform its duties. If a person so elected fails to give this notice or fails to attend the convention or synod, the Bishop shall notify a replacement in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be chosen in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 above..

The Resolution was adopted on first reading by both orders.

A25

Resolution Seven Enabling Resolution for Transition to Staggered Terms of Deputies to Extra-Diocesan Synods

Whereas, the process for electing deputies to extra-diocesan synods adopted at realignment (Constitution Article XII) did not provide for the staggered five-year terms mandated in the Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church in North America; and

Whereas, a substantive version of Article XII of the Constitution is being considered by this 150th Annual Convention; and

Whereas, the deputies and alternates elected by the 145th Annual Convention, excepting three cases of retirement / resignation, were elected in ranked order and continue to serve as provided for by existing Article XII (their successors not having been elected); therefore be it

Resolved, that this 150th Annual Convention adopt the process outlined in the revision to Article XII and proceed to elect one clergy and one lay person for a five-year term (2016-2020); and be it further

Resolved, that the presently serving ranked deputies be authorized to serve in terms that expire as follows:

Clergy Deputies: Mary Maggard Hays 2016 David Wilson 2017 Jonathan Millard 2018 Karen Stevenson 2019

Lay Deputies: Marsha Tallant 2016 Cindy Thomas 2017 Jenni Bartling 2018 Joe Sarria 2019

The Resolution was adopted by both orders.

Reports of Leadership, Committees, Commissions and Organizations The Bishop invited any who wished to address Convention.

The Rev. Whis Hays (Rock the World, Ambridge) addressed Convention on the Remix Conference.

The Very Rev. Canon John Park (Grace, Mt. Washington) addressed Convention on Threads of Hope.

A26

The Rev. Philip Bottomley (Prince of Peace, Aliquippa) addressed Convention on the Church’s Ministry Among the Jews (CMJ/USA).

The Rev. Mike Wurschmidt (Shepherd’s Heart, Uptown) addressed Convention on ministries to the chronically homeless in Pittsburgh.

The Rev. Dr. Stephen Noll, retired Vice Chancellor of Uganda Christian University, addressed Convention on a recent visit to Uganda for the graduation of 1,600 students and on the Provincial Marriage, Family and Single Life Task Force.

Bishop’s Address In his address to Convention, the Most Reverend Robert Wm. Duncan, D.D., Archbishop Emeritus of the Anglican Church in North America, and Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh, formally announced his desire to retire from diocesan leadership effective June 30, 2016.

“I am in my 68th year as a child of God, in my forty-fourth year as a deacon and priest, in my twenty-fourth year of serving this diocese, and in my twentieth year as your bishop. I believe the time has come for me to call for the election of my successor.”

With the approval of Archbishop Foley Beach, the Bishop explained that the Standing Committee consented to the resignation and has laid necessary plans for transition. The Bishop also called for a Special Convention from April 22-23, 2016 at St. Stephen’s for the purpose of nominating one, two, or three persons to the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America, from which a successor will be elected to be eighth Bishop of Pittsburgh.

“It has seemed to me like the work I was called to do is as complete as it can be. I believe that this is a very good moment for me to let go and to pass the chief pastor’s crozier to another, just as we have largely passed diocesan leadership, both clergy and lay, from one generation to another,” he said. “The years of conflict, and of course correction, within the Body of Christ are past for now. The challenge ahead is one of strengthening the Church for discipleship and evangelization in a hostile and needy nation and world.”

“The transition we now face, from one bishop to the next, is just the next step in the unfolding of our God’s good Providence,” said the Bishop. “Let go of the anxieties and trust in the One who has been so trustworthy from the first day until now.”

Resolution of Thanksgiving The Rev. Jonathan Millard (Ascension, Oakland), the Rev. Geoff Chapman (St. Stephen’s, Sewickley), and the Rev. Mike Wurschmidt (Shepherd’s Heart, Uptown) moved the following Resolution for adoption by Convention.

A27

Resolution of Thanksgiving MOVED: That this 150th Convention gives thanks to God and to our Bishop for the past 20 years of his faithful, visionary, brave, gracious, and godly episcopacy in our diocese and as a servant leader and pastor to us and to the wider church. We receive the news of Bishop Bob’s retirement next year with hearts that are filled with gratitude for Bob and Nara, and we pray for God’s richest blessings to continue to sustain them both for many years to come.

The Resolution was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Report of Canon to the Ordinary Canon Mary reported to Convention: “As always, Dear Archbishop, you are a hard act to follow! My 18th time standing before you – and my last. For some time now, I have had a deep sense that God is asking me to step down from my position as Canon to the Ordinary. I have resisted, asking God for signs and so on, partly because I have been afraid to step out when I don’t know what’s next, but also because of my love for you. We have had a lot of good years together! We’ve been in a few foxholes together. We’ve had some pretty fun celebrations over the years, too. In fact, I am overwhelmed as I stand up here, and I usually am overwhelmed, because I am so lucky to have had a bird’s eye view of God’s work in you through these years. I look at you and you and you, and I know something of what you have faced in these years.”

“To prepare for this last report, I read through all of the past ones. Preachy! Please forgive me! Please know what I meant to communicate was not school-marmish preachiness but a longing for you to be fully formed in Christ Jesus and for His work in us to be fulfilled. And that still is and will be my longing for you, and for me. When I first stood in this place, I had been on the job for four months. In that time, I had connected with more than half of the parishes in some way or another. And I was arrogant, or naïve, enough to tell you what I had observed. Four characteristics: spiritual hunger, fortitude in the face of adversity, clarity about your strengths and foibles, and comfort and honesty about each other: a ‘we are all in this together’-ness.”

“Arrogant or not, I was pretty right about these characteristics. I pray that in the next 17 years, these same characteristics will be used by God to bear much fruit for His kingdom. I pray that your spiritual hunger will continue to grow: that you will seek to know him and learn from His word more and more, individually and together. I pray that your fortitude in the face of adversity will enable you to face new challenges with increased confidence. I pray that your clarity about your strengths and foibles will enable you do forge new ways of reaching your particular neighbors, your particular neighborhoods, with the deep love of Jesus. I pray that your comfort and honesty with one another will create a growing and hospitable place for people to learn and follow God’s ways more deeply. I am praying these things with confidence, because I have seen God work in you before over and over again. And I am convinced that the best years, the best kingdom years, the best ‘full-of-fruit’ years, are ahead of you.”

A28

Resolution of Thanksgiving MOVED: That this 150th Convention gives thanks to God and to our Canon, Mary Hays, for her faithful service these past 18 years, for her godly leadership and wise counsel to our Bishop and to the leaders of the congregations in our diocese. We give thanks for her spiritual gifts and her passion to help the local church fulfill its missionary call. We honor Mary and Whis for their great love for this diocese, and with gratitude, we pray God’s blessings upon your continuing ministry and life together. We thank you!

The Resolution was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Section B Introduction to Proposed Budget (B1) Proposed 2017 Budget (B2-B8) Godly Share for Proposed Budget (B9-B10) Revised Clergy Compensation Guide (B11-end)

B 1

To: 151st Diocesan Convention From: Chief Financial Officer, Director of Administration and Finance Subject: Introduction to 2017 Proposed Budget

With the retirement of Archbishop Duncan and Canon Hays and the election and consecration of Bishop Hobby, the 2017 proposed budget has changed substantially from the 2016 budget approved by the 150th Diocesan Convention. An Adjusted Budget for 2016 was approved by Diocesan Council at their December 2015 meeting and was followed for 2016.

For the 2017 proposed budget, income projections for Godly Share from congregations follow the prescribed pattern of 10% of the most recent years’ (2015) operating income as reported in the Congregational Report submitted to provincial headquarters with a 5% adjustment for potential non-payment. A reduction in anticipated income is also reflected in the Individual Giving category to reflect the recent historical trend.

The expenses for Congregational Mission now reflect the establishment of Mission Team(s) that will carry out the activity of this office. The Office of the Bishop now reflects a fulltime salary and benefits package for the Bishop.

Of special note is the increase in expenses for medical insurance for several employees as the diocesan insurance program was not renewed and coverage is now being obtained from the plan made available by the ACNA, with the exception of those covered by individual plans through the marketplace of Medicare supplements.

This proposed budget was first presented to the Finance Committee of Diocesan Council on August 3, 2016 and will then be presented to the full Council on September 6, 2016.

2017 CLERGY COMPENSATION GUIDE

Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh

Adopted by Diocesan Council on September 6, 2016

Clergy Compensation Guide 2017 This past year a revision of the Diocese of Pittsburgh Clergy Compensation Guide was made to reflect the numerous changes in the makeup of the diocese, the ministry models practiced by its various congregations and the understanding of how clergy are to be compensated. The 2017 Guide updates the values for the compensation packages where appropriate. The purpose of this guide remains that of providing standards for the proper compensation of Anglican priests employed as full-time parochial clergy and guidance in the compensation for church planters, part-time clergy and supply clergy. The guide is applicable to the diocese and all congregations in the diocese, with the understanding that every congregation (Mission Fellowship-in-formation, Mission Fellowship and Congregations in Union with Convention) and every priest may have unique circumstances that require adjustments. It is the responsibility of each vestry1 to use the following guidelines in determining the compensation levels for clergy for whom that body may be responsible. For congregations in regions other than Southwestern Pennsylvania where cost of living is higher, minimums should be adjusted proportionately. All consideration should be made in accordance with the Diocesan Guiding Principles which are included in Appendix K of the guide. The Diocesan office and specifically the office of the Director of Administration and Finance are always available to vestries and clergy when there are questions. The Diocese of Pittsburgh requires all clergy to sign a Letter of Agreement, which includes the compensation and benefit package, prior to beginning a ministry. The letter should also be signed by the Wardens and Treasurer of the parish and must be approved by the Bishop.

1 The word Vestry in this document refers to any parish governing body of a congregation; it includes such entities as “bishop’s committee” or leadership team of a mission fellowship.

Diocesan Guiding Principles Vision: One Church of Miraculous Expectation and Missionary Grace Mission: Anglican Christians Transforming Our World with Jesus Christ GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1. Clergy and lay leaders are grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and deliberately share that message with others outside their local congregations. 2. Clergy and lay leaders are faithful to the Lord in daily time spent with the Lord, and in the sacramental life of the Church. 3. Clergy and lay leaders understand that the tithe is the beginning of their giving. 4. Clergy and lay leaders model faithful family relationships, including sexual purity. 5. Clergy and lay leaders are in functional accountability and intercessory relationships that safeguard themselves and their people. 6. The Bishop’s team and the clergy are fundamentally bound to each other: The regular expression of this is meeting together monthly. 7. The district system exists for the good order (administration, representative election, communication, leaven, and cooperative mission) of the Diocese: Diocesan Council is its minimum expression. 8. The shared vision of the Diocese states that we are one Church of miraculous expectation and missionary grace. Living into this vision means that:

a. We are all in this together. b. We strive for openness and transparency as we make decisions. c. We are committed to growth “in season and out of season.” 9. Members of elected and appointed bodies of the Diocese (Standing Committee, Board of Trustees, Diocesan Council, Vestries, and so forth) commit to faithful attendance, mutual submission and to working for the common good. 10. The work of diocesan leadership is to strengthen congregations so that they are vibrant and multiplying. The health, vibrancy, and well-being of the Diocese is measured by and reflected in the health, vibrancy, and well- being of the congregations. (Rev., Epiphany, A.D. 2010)

Categories of Pastorates

Because the clergy in our diocese consist of men and women in very different stages of life from one another – second careers, retirees, young families, married, single, etc. – their needs vary greatly from parish to parish. When issuing a call, the vestry should have the flexibility to tailor a total compensation package that fits the needs of the individual. The focus of this guide, therefore, is on the total compensation package provided to a member of clergy, rather than just cash compensation.

Clergy compensation is appropriately guided by the congregational setting in which the ministry is offered, the size of the parish and the level of responsibility and commensurate skill and experience required for the particular situation. For 2017 the recommended minimum starting total compensation packages for full and part time and parochial clergy of the diocese are outlined below based on the following general categories:

1. Type of Pastorate a. Rector b. Full Time Assistant Priest c. Part Time (25 hour per week) Rector, Church Planter, Assistant Priest 2. Operating Income a. Under $250,000 annually b. From $250,000 to $500,000 annually c. From $500,000 to $1,000,000 annually d. In excess of $1,000,000 annually 3. Congregation Setting a. Major Metropolitan Area and Immediate Suburbs b. Town / Rural

These are the minimum total package recommendations for the first year of incumbency. For congregations in regions other than Southwestern Pennsylvania minimums should be adjusted proportionately to the area’s cost of living. Total compensation packages above the minimums vary greatly as should be expected.

Adjustments to higher levels should be considered for the following factors:  Prior years of service in ordained ministry  Ability as a preacher and worship leader  Ability as a teacher  Administrative leadership

 Meeting targeted growth goals in Average Principal Service Attendance (APSA) or other specified growth goals  Interpersonal skills and skills in counseling and/or conflict resolution  Stewardship and fund-raising leadership  Ability in communications and in community and ecumenical relations  Job Complexity issues including: o Size of staff o APSA in excess of 300 o Oversight of Preschool or Day School  Variety of duties to be performed  Recognition as an expert in a field  Publications or requirement to publish  Education beyond Master’s level

The Director of Administration and Finance is available to each congregation to assist in determining the appropriate adjustments in each specific circumstance.

It should be the goal of every parish to provide each member of clergy with the minimum total compensation package recommended.

A clergy total compensation and benefit package should include, but is not limited to the benefits detailed on the following pages.

Cash Compensation 1. Stipend a. Stipend is that cash amount which is paid directly to a member of the clergy exclusive of housing, utilities, and Social Security Self- employment tax allowance. 2. Allowances a. Housing - Congregations should provide a housing allowance for their clergy. Clergy that live in church owned housing are also eligible for a housing allowance for furnishings and other allowable housing expenses. The housing allowance must conform to the tax code. The allowance must be church designated and be done in advance of the allowance being taken, meaning that it cannot be acted upon retroactively. The vestry, with input from the clergy, should review the allowance annually to make sure only allowable costs are taken into account. A sample housing allowance resolution is provided in [Appendix A on page 20] and a suggested format for documentation of clergy housing allowance is provided in [Appendix B on page 21]. b. Utilities - Congregations with church-owned or church-provided housing should provide for a utility allowance for clergy-paid bills, or the provision for utilities to be paid directly by the church. This should be voted on by the Vestry and treated the same as the housing allowance for tax purposes.

Required Employment Benefits

1. Retirement/Pension - The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh requires each parish, mission and other ecclesiastical organization to pay into a retirement/pension plan for their clergy. It is highly recommended that parishes participate in the retirement plan of the Anglican Church in North America. The Diocesan recommendation is 10 - 18% of the cash compensation for each cleric and may include a matching component. The ACNA Plan document explains this in greater detail. Different rules may apply to the definition of "total compensation" for clergy that provide their own housing and those for whom housing is provided. Please contact the Office of Administration if you would like clarification for budgeting purposes. NOTE: Be aware that the match portion of the retirement plan must also be offered to eligible lay employees. 2. Health Insurance Health Insurance a. Medical insurance is legally required for full-time clergy and lay employees, their spouses and children. Parishes can provide coverage through its own group policies, or to the extent available, through policies provided through the Diocese. Questions about the availability of and coverage through the diocesan health insurance plan and enrollment information should be directed to the diocesan office. Parishes providing coverage through its own policies should ensure compliance with federal law, which does contain significant penalties for non-compliance. Cost-sharing arrangements for health care benefits should be handled at the parish level, but please note, to the extent a parish does not directly provide insurance, it should not reimburse clergy or lay employees for the cost of their coverage; otherwise legal penalties could apply. Health benefits are a negotiated benefit for part-time clergy.

3. Time away from work a. Weekly - A normal work week for full-time clergy is 50 hours – usually measured as approximately twelve units of mornings, afternoons or evenings in various combinations reflecting the demands of the ministry. Clergy are expected to have at least one continuous twenty- four hour period reserved for time away from work. b. Vacation - Clergy are entitled to four weeks of vacation time per year, which will include a minimum of four Sundays. c. Holidays – Holidays can be a complex matter for clergy. Some recognized “paid” holidays on a business calendar, such as Christmas, are actually working days for clergy. Congregations are encouraged to provide additional compensatory time away when clergy work a recognized holiday. d. Maternity/Paternity Leave - Female clergy are entitled to take up to six weeks of paid, maternity leave upon the birth or adoption of a child(ren). Male clergy are entitled to take up to two weeks of paid paternity leave upon the birth or adoption of a child(ren). Additional unpaid time off can be taken in accordance with the Family Medical Leave Act, or as otherwise required by law. e. Sick Days & short-term disability - Paid sick days should be provided pursuant to each parish’s policy, and short-term disability insurance should be provided for longer term illnesses.

4. Life Insurance – Life insurance should be purchased on clergy from a reputable insurance company. The minimum life insurance should be $50,000.

Recommended Additional Benefits

1. Social Security Self-Employment Tax Allowance - For purposes of social security, clergy are considered self-employed. An allowance amount equal to half of the clergy’s social security/self-employment tax (SECA), currently 15.3%, may be paid directly to the member of the clergy as an optional benefit. NOTE: This income is fully taxable and reportable as income to the clergy. 2. Long-term Disability - It is recommended that parishes purchase or make available Long-term disability insurance from a reputable company. 3. Additional Life Insurance - Parishes are encouraged to purchase or make available additional life insurance for clergy and their dependents. 4. Housing Equity Allowance - The 133rd Annual Convention of the Diocese of Pittsburgh adopted a resolution stating that effective, January 1, 1999, “Letters of Agreement for all clergy living in church-provided housing shall include an additional category of compensation entitled “Housing Equity Allowance” and it was further resolved that the specific amount of the Housing Equity Allowance shall be calculated by using a percentage of the value designated for housing [on the Assessment Form of the Church Pension Fund (30% of cash stipend plus utilities)] or an amount agreed upon between the clergy and the parish”. 5. Wellness – There are various activities which all clergy should be encouraged to participate in:  Spiritual health activities: daily times of prayer, scripture reading, meditation, tithing, regular retreats to hear from God, and regular meetings with a spiritual director of the clergy’s choosing.  Work family balance. Vestries should ensure that clergy take their vacation and holiday time outside of the parish context.  An annual medical exam (vestries should reserve for the exam in the unlikely event that it is not covered by the Health Insurance Plan).  Regular exercise & healthy eating habits, including moderation or

abstinence of tobacco, alcohol or other drug use.  A professional support group of the clergy’s choosing, and adequate attention to emotional health, which may require professional counseling (vestries should reserve for the cost if it is not covered by the Health Insurance Plan).  Community activities and involvement (outside of the parish context or role of clergy). 6. Recommended Expense Allotments and Reimbursement* a. Travel - Each congregation should provide either a monthly allowance or an accountable reimbursement plan utilizing the IRS per mile reimbursement rate set annually by the Diocesan Council. It is recommended that the vestry adopt an accountable reimbursement plan. Reimbursements paid under an accountable reimbursement plan are not reportable by the employer or employee as taxable income, unlike the monthly allowance, which is taxable. The accountable reimbursement plan is a significant advantage to the clergy. Note: When the accountable reimbursement plan is adopted by the vestry it applies to all employees – clergy or lay. Clergy should not be paid at a rate in excess of the IRS per mile reimbursement rate, under IRS revenue ruling 84-127. Finally, no reimbursement should be made for fuel or maintenance, since those are included the in the per mile reimbursement rate. b. The clergy should keep in mind that travel expenses either reimbursed as an allowance or under an accountable reimbursement plan must be documented. See [APPENDIX C on page 22] for a sample documentation form. In the event of an audit the IRS will request the documentation of these expenses. *IRS Publication 463 provides additional information and a sample record form. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/ch05.html

7. Continuing Education - All clergy are encouraged to engage in regular continuing education to strengthen their ministries. Parishes are expected to provide both time and money (usually $500-$1,000 toward the expenses of continuing education projects and materials) to make such study possible. Continuing Education time should be focused on vocational development in areas that undergird present or future ministry and develop or strengthen talents and skills. This time is not to be used as additional vacation or leisure time.

8. Sabbaticals - After five years of service, a full time priest is eligible for sabbatical leave that has accrued at the rate of two weeks per year of service, up to a maximum of three months of leave. Parishes should build provision into their budgets to cover the expenses of a sabbatical, which include program and travel costs as well as liturgical and pastoral care coverage for the parish. A periodic sabbatical is a healthy and effective means of preventing burnout and of renewing and enhancing a professional’s capabilities for dealing effectively with problems facing those who need help. A written description of the sabbatical plan should be submitted to the Bishop no fewer than 90 days before it commences. The following planning guidelines are recommended: a. The sabbatical is intended to provide rest and renewal, but should have a structure to it. Planning for the sabbatical is just as important for the clergy or lay professional as it is for the parish. The planning process can be broken into three phases: (1) the pre-sabbatical or planning phase; (2) the sabbatical itself; and (3) the post-sabbatical phase. b. During the first phase, the objectives of the sabbatical should be defined in general terms and a flexible plan should be developed to achieve those objectives. The plan might involve study, travel, writing or some combination of all three, blended with a good measure of relaxation and family time.

c. The second phase is the sabbatical and the person should follow a flexible approach to pursuing the planned objectives, bearing in mind that the overall goal is rest and renewal, not rigid adherence to a prescribed plan of action. d. The third phase is a time of adjustment for both the person returning and for those who have experienced that person’s absence. Feedback should be provided through face-to-face dialogue or in the form of a written report or journal to the Bishop’s office within 90 days of returning from a sabbatical.

9. Business Entertainment - Entertaining on behalf of the church should be reimbursed under an accountable reimbursement plan (see footnote under item 5 above). Vestries are encouraged to budget annually for these anticipated needs. 10. Moving - When a congregation issues a call, it should pay the expenses associated with the relocation. Clergy who have been called and the leadership of the congregations to which they have been called are encouraged to discuss the anticipated expenses in advance and to set up a reserve.

Guidelines for Supply Clergy Rates

In an effort to provide guidelines in this area, the Committee recommends the following minimum schedule for supply clergy to be paid by the Vestry of the parish for whom services are supplied. :

1 Service with Sermon $135

2 Services with Sermon $200

An additional $60 is to be paid for each additional service on the same weekend. Clergy are also to be reimbursed for travel costs at the current IRS reimbursable mileage rate, unless the supply rate is increased to cover these expenses.

Advocacy for Clergy during Compensation/Benefit Negotiations Clergy often find it difficult to negotiate for an adjustment in their compensation and benefits. Negotiation is not a skill that everyone possesses. In response to this reality, the Clergy Compensation Committee proposes that a cleric may ask for an advocate to represent his or her needs and desires to the vestry or budget committee.

1. The cleric should let the vestry know well in advance that he will have a representative during the negotiation process.

2. The advocate does not need to be a member of the parish, but needs to be someone with credibility in the parish, and should not be the Treasurer as this would be a conflict of interest. The advocate should have an understanding of the covenant between the cleric and the parish and also have a sense of advocacy as a ministry that serves both the cleric and the parish. The cleric should communicate clearly with the prospective advocate, articulating what is being requested, for example:

1) To represent the cleric’s needs to the vestry or budget committee. 2) To discuss the cleric’s hopes for the next year regarding compensation. 3) To meet one or two times before the budget meeting. a) The Diocesan Clergy Compensation Guidelines should be used as a tool for the meeting. All of the categories of the covenant between the cleric and the vestry should be addressed, keeping in mind that the recommended compensation reflects minimums and not maximums. b) The cleric should be comfortable discussing finances and articulating his needs with the advocate. c) Prayer is central to this process as leadership seeks to steward potentially limited resources in light of competing needs.

4) To meet annually with the cleric to review future needs and expectations.

Guidelines for Parish, Cleric and Family during Marital Stress, Crisis and Divorce in Clergy Families

The establishment, blessing and nurture of Christian marriage and Christian family life are a primary task of the church. However, like any marriage, clergy marriages come under stress and clergy separation and divorce do occur. They are realities usually accompanied by confusion and hurt. They are among life's most threatening and painful experiences. These guidelines are designed to be helpful for vestries, clergy and his/her family as they develop ways of dealing with marital problems of clergy. Special consideration should be given to principles articulated in Title III, Canon 3, Section 5 & 6 of The Canons of the Anglican Church in North America, and the Diocesan policy titled: “Divorce, Remarriage and the Call to Ministry” In the process of working with the problems that have become apparent in a marriage, the various parties affected have responsibilities that they must accept. Each should respect the confidentiality of the situation, but also recognize the effect that a cleric’s marital crisis might have on the Parish.

1. Clergy Responsibility: a) Recognizing serious problems developing within the marriage. b) Discussing problems with spouse (and children). c) Discussing the situation with an appropriate and trusted third party. d) Seeking professional counseling for self and family. e) Recognizing the potential impact upon the congregation in such areas as: . Management of the church’s day-to-day affairs, . Counseling for parishioners, . Visiting parishioners, and . Emotional response of the congregation. f) Counseling with the bishop for guidance on what approaches to use for the problem. g) Discussing with the Senior Warden, as appropriate, when problems impact the parish, or might result in divorce or separation.

2. Spouse Responsibility:

a) Recognizing serious problems developing within the marriage. b) Discussing problems with spouse and children. c) Discussing the situation with an appropriate and trusted third party. d) Seeking professional counseling with spouse.

3. Vestry/Senior Warden Responsibility:

a) Approaching the clergy when problems are having an impact upon the congregation, or may result in separation or divorce. b) Deciding what role vestry should take. c) Suggesting counseling for clergy and family if problems appear to be escalating. d) Considering a leave of absence or sabbatical for the clergy and spouse to focus on the issue. e) Requesting assistance from bishop if unable to help to resolve the problem. f) Setting limits as to when the parish can no longer allow problems to disrupt the parish and the congregation. g) Deciding what continuing financial support is available to the clergy and family should separation or divorce result.

4. Bishop’s Responsibility

a) Setting up a protocol as to when the Bishop becomes involved. b) Being available to clergy and family. c) Having within the diocese counseling resources available to clergy and families.

Bishop’s Wellness Committee

The salary of the Bishop is reviewed annually by the Bishop’s Wellness Committee. The committee is comprised of the President of the Standing Committee, President of the Board of Trustees, the President of Diocesan Council and two ombudsmen (one clergy; one lay) nominated by the Bishop. This committee meets semi- annually to review compensation and wellness issues with the Bishop. The salaries of the Canon to the Ordinary and the Director of Administration and Finance are reviewed annually and set by the Bishop in consultation with the Bishop’s Wellness Committee.

Section C Report of the Committee on Constitution & Canons (C1-C2) Resolutions Presented Prior to Convention Resolution One (C3) 2016 Rosters of Elected Bodies (C4-C11) Districts of the Anglican Diocese (C12) Report of the Committee on Constitution and Canons for the 2016 Annual Convention

Over the past two years, the Committee on Constitution and Canons, at the request of Archbishop Duncan, has undertaken a substantial effort to revise the Constitution and Canons to modernize them, to reflect the current practices of the Diocese, and to ensure consistency with the parallel provisions of the Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church in North America. There is only one item that remains to be addressed by the 2016 Convention.

A proposed Amendment to Article XII of the Constitution, concerning the election of Diocesan representatives to extra-Diocesan bodies, such as the Provincial Council, will be presented for a Second Reading. The purpose for this proposed Amendment is to conform our practices to those of the Anglican Church in North America and to clarify the text. If accepted by the delegates to this year’s Convention, this Amendment will be adopted and effective.

ARCHBISHOP DUNCAN LEGACY FUND

I. History The Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund was established by the Board of Trustees in April, 2016 as a tool to honor Archbishop Robert Duncan who was retiring three months later on June 30, 2016 as Bishop of the Diocese. The purpose of the Trustees is to "oversee the management of assets, property, and investments.” At a meeting of the full board in March, 2016, Board of Trustees member Michael Shiner recommended to his peers that they develop such a program to honor Archbishop Bob and to gain additional resources for the Diocese for use by the new Bishop in the future. After an additional exploratory meeting, the Board of Trustees decided to move ahead. They had been striving to bring increased attention to the Diocese and its people about wills, bequests and estate planning and this Legacy Fund would make that information more readily available. I agreed to become the Campaign Chair in early April. We decided upon the following purpose for the Legacy Fund: The Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund will be administered by the Board of Trustees of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. Resources gathered into the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund will in turn be committed by the Trustees through:  The Congregational Growth Fund (Grants and Loans)  The Church Planning Fund (Chiefly Grants)  The Clergy Sabbatical and Well-Being Fund (Grants) and  Other means to support Congregations and Clergy as opportunities arise.

Together, Congregations and Clergy will have access to resources that they could not have independently. Moreover, common resources can be applied strategically and renewably for the use of the next Bishop. I wrote a letter to the Diocese in our campaign brochure explaining my commitment and love for the Archbishop. Archbishop Duncan has been a shepherd and a beacon for his people of our Diocese for two decades. We have all witnessed Archbishop “Bob’s” unwavering faith, his serving leader’s heart and a first love for the people in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, especially our youth. He has given as much as he is able. Let us honor his Legacy by helping to gather resources to continue to Strengthen Congregations, Plant new churches and Support our Clergy in our Diocese. Although the past cannot be forgotten, this campaign is about the future. This is all our beloved Archbishop desires as he retires and we welcome the next generation of leadership.

I encourage you to join us as we celebrate the life, witness and work of Archbishop Duncan and as we prepare for a bright, Christ-centered future as the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. The Board of Trustees hired Nancy Lee Cochran, a Christ-centered funding-raising professional who was known by the Archbishop and many Anglicans in leadership because of her work for several years in fund-raising/public relations for Shepherd’s Heart and for her efforts with Pray Pittsburgh and Scripture Union. We soon recruited the following team of volunteers to help lead this effort.  We recruited Bill and Linda Roemer to be our Honorary Chairs. We chose Bill and Linda because they are highly recognizable lay leaders in the Diocese and have been very faithful and generous in their support for Archbishop Duncan, the Diocese and the Province. Bill wrote in the brochure: Without question, Bob Duncan was the right man at the right time to lead not just our Diocese but, more importantly, the birthing of the Anglican Church in North America. His legacy is destined to last for generations and for that all of us can be truly grateful.  Because we wanted to build this Legacy Fund on a foundation of prayer, we asked the Rev. Michael Wurschmidt to become our Prayer Chair. Mike has helped us to focus on prayer in all things as we have bonded as a team and as we have looked to God as the source and the owner of all things.  We requested of the Rev. Don Bushyager that he and his staff receive, receipt, deposit and acknowledge all gifts, assuring that the Legacy Fund was a good steward of all gifts, that donors were appropriately thanked for their gifts in a timely manner, and that the recordkeeping was fully integrated into our own database. Don and Janet Cummings, the financial secretary, have done an amazing job in their work. Don also agreed to provide technical assistance to donors regarding their gifts, particularly of donating stock gifts.  Robert Devlin agreed to be our Legal Counsel, giving advice on the establishment of the Legacy Fund and providing support when asked.  We also recruited an outstanding Cabinet to meet with us regularly and to support us in all cultivation efforts. They included: Michael Shiner, Vice Chair Bill and Linda Roemer, Honorary Chairs Shawn Reed, Board of Trustees President Rebecca Chapman Tim McLaughlin The Rev. Jonathan Millard The Rev. Karen Stevenson Nick Storm Mary Thompson Robert Wasko

II. Special Convention Date of April 22-23, 2016

We began our planning and preparatory work for the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund on April 8. We began to recruit the Cabinet, to develop the campaign policies and procedures and to write the initial materials to announce and explain the campaign. Immediately, we knew that we had a two-week window before the Special Convention of April 22-23 when a new Bishop would be elected. We worked feverishly on the materials. They arrived on April 22, the first day of the Convention.

While votes were being counted near noon on April 23 at the Convention, I was given permission to announce the Legacy Fund to the delegates and friends who were assembled. From that point until now, we have been sharing with the Diocese and cultivating prospects.

III. Our Progress

Through September 22, 2016, we have received gifts and pledges for:

A. Immediate Gifts 1. Gifts Already Paid and Deposited...... $196,241 Additional Gifts Pledged...... $249,764 TOTAL to date of Immediate Gifts ...... $446,005

2. Sources of Gifts Individuals (87)

In addition to the above, several congregations are conducting promotions for the Legacy Fund in September. Several individuals have also indicated that their gifts are in process.

Our active cultivation period will end on September 30, 2016 although gifts still can be made to the Legacy Fund after that time.

B. Estate Gifts Six donors shared their plans. Gifts for the Diocese ...... $160,000 Gifts for the Congregations ...... $75,000

TOTAL Estate Gifts Shared ...... $235,000

We are confident that many additional donors have named the Diocese or their Congregation in their Estate Plans and have not previously shared this with the Diocese. We are grateful that God has used this Legacy Fund for this purpose. Even if we do not know these details, we are confident that God does.

IV. Promotions and Publicity

Our Social Media Plan was developed with the help of 321 Blink, a full service social media company in Aspinwall, headed by a member of our Board of Trustees, Tim McLaughlin. Tim and his team have been the teachers and enablers of our social media team, working in concert with our consultant, Nancy Lee Cochran, and Ian Mikrut, our Diocesan director of communications.

A. Website

Materials related to the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund were posted to the website on May 31 and have been updated and advertised on a periodic basis since then. This included:

 Ways of Giving, which is a comprehensive document on Wills, Bequests and other Estate Planning Tools. For some time, the Board of Trustees had wanted a document that could be used by Clergy and lay leaders in the Diocese to share about how to give to the Diocese and to Congregations through Wills, Bequests, Life Insurances, Donor Advised Funds, Retirement Accounts and other.  Examples of Congregations who had previously benefited from grants and loans.  Stewardship with Children.  Social Media.

B. Social Media Platforms

1) Twitter  Existed within the Diocese before May 31, but was revamped and reutilized.

 Our Twitter account is growing rapidly! From August 16 through September 15, 2016, our Tweet impressions were up 118.9% and profile visits up 605.4% from the previous period.  We have 95 new followers on Twitter since April 8.  The hashtag #GoodbyeBishopBob was created and used extensively during Archbishop Duncan’s retirement weekend.  The hashtag #HobbyConsecration was created and used on September 10, the date of the Bishop’s Consecration, to allow for live tweets on the proceedings of that day. There was a large spike in engagement followed by several more articles in the following week.

2) Facebook  Existed within the Diocese before May 31, but was revamped and reutilized.

3) YouTube  Existed within the Diocese before May 31, but was revamped and reutilized.  The “Legacy of Archbishop Duncan” video was published to the Diocesan YouTube channel on September 10.

4) Instagram  Developed and integrated specifically for the Legacy Fund.  Instagram now has 50 followers, even though it has only been live for a few months.

5) LinkedIn  Developed and integrated specifically for the Legacy Fund.

C. Video

On the day of Bishop Hobby's Consecration, we released a video of 150 seconds on the Legacy Fund that featured Bishop Hobby, Archbishop Duncan, the Rev. Karen Stevenson, Heather Strong Moore, the Rev. Jonathan Mallard and myself as a welcome to Bishop Hobby and as we looked to the future with him about his own legacy. The video is the first of several to be produced by 321 Blink.

The “Legacy of Bishop Duncan” video that was premiered on the morning of the Consecration was also released through an email newsletter, posted on the Diocesan website and included in social media pushes. A live stream of the Consecration was also made available through AnglicanTV.

D. Trinity Magazine

 We had 12 pages in the Trinity, released on May 19, to explain the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund, to have testimonials from the members of the Cabinet, and to honor the retirement of Archbishop Duncan.

 We had 7 pages in the Trinity, released on August 31, to remind prospective donors of the Legacy Fund and to share stories of Congregations who had previously benefited from grants and loans.

 We will write a final report in the Trinity to be released in early December. We are also writing an extensive story on church planting.

E. Conference Calls Ten conference calls with the Campaign Cabinet were conducted along with two face-to- face meetings at the Diocesan offices to better equip, inform and encourage the Cabinet.

V. Summary The legacy of the Archbishop Legacy Fund is this:

 We have raised Immediate Funds and received Estate Planning Commitments as listed above.  Many friends of the Diocese will continue to give gifts through this Legacy Fund for Immediate and Estate Planning purposes.  Untold friends of the Diocese have examined their wills and other estate planning tools to assure that the names and addresses of the Congregation and the Diocese are accurate.  Social media will continue to be used for the glory of God throughout the Diocese well into our future.  As it has always done, the Diocese will continue to build its endeavors on the foundation of prayer.  More than ever, the people of the Diocese will understand that fund-raising is a ministry. From the perspective of the gospel, we will embrace that fundraising is a form of ministry that announces our vision and invites other people into our mission.

The Cabinet of the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund has been honored to serve God through working on this Legacy Fund. In less than six months, we have planted seeds all over the Diocese and beyond. We find great joy in knowing that many of those seeds will not bear fruit for years to come.

In the next several weeks, we expect many of those seeds to come to fruition as vacations end and prospective donors in the Diocese and beyond respond to the opportunity to invest. We are aware of several congregations who have intensified their promotions in September for the Legacy Fund. We also know that several larger contributions are in process and may take a little longer to come to fruition. For all that has been given and will be given, we praise God!

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, Brad Root and cometh down from the Father. Campaign Chair James 1:17

ARCHDEACON

This year we mourned the loss of Deacon J. Edmund Hay. As we marked Ed’s passing, we anticipated with excitement the election of a new Bishop. This year’s annual Deacon’s Convocation in January was a time to celebrate the ministry of Archbishop Duncan, attending his last gathering with us, and to reflect on the election ahead. So the theme for the Convocation was “Transition.” Deacons were encouraged to discuss their hopes and fears about the transition we all faced. We agreed that it was vital that all of the candidates for Bishop understand the important role the diaconate has played in the diocese for the last two decades. We rejoice in the election of Bishop James Hobby. The Bishop has expressed his ongoing support for the diaconate and is eager to begin conversations on ways to strengthen and grow the diaconate under his leadership. Respectfully submitted, Archdeacon Mark Stevenson, PhD

BOARD OF TRUSTEES (BOT)

The right recipe Much of my life is about food. I travel a lot, I’m married to Trinity Seminary’s Chef (Karen) and one of our great joys is cooking for others. It’s no surprise that my metaphors have a place in the kitchen, and the report I share is no exception! A good recipe is many things, but it is first and foremost the use of good, seasonal ingredients. As I wind down my eight (and final) year on the Board of Trustees, I can tell you that we have all of the best ingredients in place for an amazing meal in the years to come. We have a base of great history of leadership that has served us with incredible grace over the years. Thank you Archbishop Duncan and my fellow BOT members who have so faithfully served. We also have several new and seasonal ingredients in our new Bishop Jim Hobby, and new leadership on our Board. They will bring a renewed sense of purpose and vision to the work we do! And finally, we have the salt and spices thanks to the donors who have made the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund a success. We have a wider opportunity to service our parishes and our clergy in their pursuit of God’s work. I am personally grateful to Brad Root, Tim McGlaughlin and Nancy Cochran for their leadership in this campaign. We continue to invite all clergy and parishes to reach out and let us know how we might be helpful. Below are the specific committees and Trustees who serve the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. Finance and Investment (Members: Jim Foster; Bob Wasko; Maria Shields – Audit Committee) The Finance and Investment committee is responsible for management of all invested assets of the diocese and parishes that choose to have the diocese hold and invest assets for their benefit. It is to communicate to the parishes the availability and value of investing through “pooled” funds with the diocese. Additionally, it will regularly review and recommend adjustments to the

D7 published investment guidelines. The Finance and Investment committee will assign one of its members to serve on the diocesan audit committee each year (Maria Shields for 2013).

Capital Needs and Planned Giving (Members: Jim Cunningham, Chair; Tim McLaughlin; Shawn Reed – Ad Hoc) The Capital Needs and Planned Giving committee is responsible for the redevelopment of the trusted funds of the parishes and the diocese. It is to engage in the ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the diocese and all parishes who desire assistance as well as the rebuilding of the Growth Fund, Bishops fund, “emergency fund” and other cash needs as directed. The committee is to be prepared to assist in planned giving commitments for the parishes and diocese and to communicate to the parishes the availability of committee members to educate parishioners in the methods of planned giving.

Strategic Planning and Risk Management (Members: Mike Shiner, Chair; Nick Storm, Tom Nunnally) The Strategic Planning and Risk Management Committee is responsible for the evaluation of existing and proposed facility purchase and lease activities of the diocese and all parishes wishing their assistance. Additionally, it is to assist in preparing the diocese and parishes for the unexpected, to include property and casualty insurance directors’ and officers’ insurance, computer and telephony back up and disaster plans. The committee is responsible to communicate to the parishes its availability to provide support in these areas.

We can be reached at [email protected] for additional information, comments, or questions.

Respectfully submitted, and grateful for the opportunity to serve, Shawn Reed, President

COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR In the past year Diocesan Communications has continued to be a source for news, stories of interest, registrations and engagement across the diocese through multiple means. Since Archbishop Duncan’s retirement announcement last November, the Communications Office worked closely with the Standing (Transition) Committee and members of the Timothy Collaborative throughout the Discernment Process. Utilizing mass email campaigns, expanded features on the website, social media, bulletin inserts and TRINITY Magazine, diocesan members were updated and informed every step of the way leading up to Special Convention through the consecration of Bishop Hobby in September. In April, the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund was announced which saw even more expansion and improvement to Diocesan Communications. In collaborating with Cochran and Associates as well as 321Blink, new strategies in promoting the Legacy Fund were formed which in turn improved our communications as a whole. Again mass email communication newsletters proved to be invaluable and effective. TRINITY Magazine was also utilized in publishing information and ways of giving towards the Legacy Fund and the website was expanded to mirror those efforts and accommodate online-giving. New approaches to social media throughout the year saw a higher engagement on Twitter and Facebook than in past years. Particularly on Twitter, where the Diocese has gained over 100 new followers (over 700 total) in just the last five months. On Archbishop Duncan’s last day in office, 321Blink was also

D8 present to begin filming interviews as part of the “Legacy of Bishop Duncan” video that was premiered on the morning of the Consecration through an email newsletter, web and social media pushes and posted on the Diocesan YouTube channel. The year also saw a social media expansion to both Instagram and LinkedIn where we will be able to push new, different and effective content. Instagram, a primarily photo-driven app, will be geared towards the youth and young professionals in the diocese – capturing moments at events in creative ways. LinkedIn will be a valuable, more polished form of connecting with professionals while still promoting the mission of Anglican Christians Transforming Our World with Jesus Christ. The goal has always been to use all of these tools in the unique ways they are most effective individually, while keeping a unified feel across them to make Diocesan news and resources available to anyone. And the vast improvements and expansions in the past year are making that goal much easier on a daily basis. If your congregation has any news, events, questions or suggestions for improvement please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or by phone at 412-281-6131 x135. Respectfully submitted, Ian Mikrut

DIOCESAN COUNCIL The duties of the Diocesan Council are delineated in Canon VI of the Constitution and Canons. “The Diocesan Council shall act on behalf of the Convention when the Convention is not in session. In particular, it shall evaluate the policies, programs, and other activities of the Diocese, make recommendations to the Convention, and give general oversight to the work, mission, budget and human resources of the Diocese.” The council is comprised of lay and clergy representation from each district in the Diocese. To accomplish this directive, the council holds four meetings per year. Additional meetings may be scheduled; fortunately, circumstances have not warranted this action this year. Meeting agendas include reports given by the Archbishop, Canon, The Director of Administration and the President of Council. Other reports include information from the Secretary of Convention, Women Alive in Christ, the Standing Committee and the Board of Trustees. Reports of working groups within the Council are also offered when appropriate. Council meetings begin by sharing a meal followed by Evening Prayer at which time we offer thanks to God for His many blessings and intercessions for ourselves and others. During each meeting attendees are given the opportunity to share prayer requests, blessings and parish events happening throughout the Diocese. This year, in addition to its regular duties of overseeing the Mission Fellowship Grants and other work of supporting the parishes, the Diocesan Council had the responsibility of overseeing the formation of a budget flexible enough to anticipate the retirement of both the Canon to the Ordinary and the Bishop as well as allowing the new bishop the ability to prioritize the mission and ministries of his administration. I would personally like to thank Fr. Don Bushyager, Director of Administration and Finance and Mr. Tom Hay, Chair of the Finance Committee for their excellent work with these issues. It has been my privilege to serve again as President of Diocesan Council this year. I offer my sincere gratitude to Archbishop Duncan, Canon Mary Hays and the Diocesan Council for their support during my tenure and I look forward to the coming year with Bishop Hobby.

In Service to Christ, The Rev. John T. Cruikshank, President, Diocesan Council

DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER At the close of 2016 I will have completed four years as Director of Administration and Finance for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, which included the canonically designated office of Chief Financial Officer. As the titles indicate, I am tasked with both the administrative and financial oversight of the diocesan office under the direction of the Bishop and with responsibility to the Diocesan Council when the Convention is not in session. Therefore, my charge includes the day to day business activities of the diocese as well as the major projects such as negotiating contracts and the drafting of the annual budget. I am also the Leadership Team liaison to the Board of Trustees. I could not perform these duties without the invaluable assistance of my most capable staff; our Bookkeeper / Financial Secretary, Janet Cummings and our Receptionist / Database Administrator, Heather Jacoby. This year marked a major change in insurance coverage offered by the diocese to clergy and lay employees of congregations as the Affordable Care Act had reduced the number of participants in the diocesan offered Health Insurance program below the requisite required for renewal and in September we ceased to offer a diocesan wide voluntary plan. We do continue to offer voluntary dental and vision programs to clergy and lay employees of congregations and working with our broker we were able renew the dental plan with United Concordia with no change in design or rate increase and the Vision plan with Highmark was likewise renewed with no change in design or premium. The major revisions that were made to the Clergy Compensation Guide in 2014 and 2015 mean that this year the only update required is the adjustment of minimum recommended first year total compensation (average increase 2.5% to 2.7%). It continues to be my pleasure to work with Shawn Reed and the Board of Trustees as well as The Rev. John Cruikshank and the Diocesan Council, and particularly Tom Hay and the Finance Committee. None of the work of this office in 2016 could have been accomplished without the affirmation of our now retired Bishop Duncan and the continuing positive support of Bishop Hobby.

Blessings, The Rev. Don Bushyager Director of Administration and Finance Chief Financial Officer

GROWTH FUND The Growth Fund of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh now has a balance in excess of $94,000 (August 2016). In addition, monies from the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund may be made available at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. The Growth Fund Committee and the Diocesan Leadership Team are most thankful to the congregations who have been and continue to contribute to the rebuilding of the fund as well as those who have made contributions and pledges to the Legacy Fund.

D10

As of this writing two applications were submitted and acted upon in 2016 resulting in a grants totaling $11,000 and loans totaling $41,000. The Growth Fund Committee looks forward to being able to assist congregations with meeting their needs in revitalizing church property and providing for emergency repairs. Your future contributions will insure our ability to do so. Respectfully submitted, The Rev. Don Bushyager Director of Administration and Finance Staff Liaison to the Diocesan Growth Fund

STANDING COMMITTEE The Standing Committee of the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh is a body of four clergy persons and four lay persons elected by Convention. Members are elected to four year terms and serve in staggered classes. Traditionally, the clergy person in their final year serves as President, and the lay person in their final year serves as Secretary. The Standing Committee principally serves as a council of advice for the Diocesan Bishop, although we also conduct canonical business as is required of us by canon. The Bishop and Diocesan Chancellor regularly participate. The Standing Committee also acts as the Ecclesiastical Authority of the diocese in the absence or vacancy of the diocesan bishop, which occurred this term from June 30, 2016 (Archbishop Duncan’s retirement) to Sept 10, 2016 (Bishop Hobby’s consecration). In this extraordinary year, the Standing Committee therefore had the responsibility for designing and executing the process to elect the next Bishop. This report covers the period between September 2015 and August 2016. Canonical Business: Approval of parish bylaw changes for:  Mosaic, Robinson  Ascension, Oakland  Prince of Peace, Hopewell  Grace, Mt. Washington & Edgeworth  Incarnation, Strip District After the Nov. 2015 Diocesan Convention, endorsed new 2016 budget recommendations, to be approved by Diocesan Council. Received the recusal of the Rev John Paul Chaney (Standing Committee Member) from February – April 2016, as he stood for election as a Nominee to be the next bishop. Endorsed revised Rules of Order for the April 22-23, 2016 Special Convention, for Diocesan Council’s approval.

D11

Approved the Agenda for the April 22-23, 2016 Special Convention. In capacity as the Ecclesiastical Authority:  Approved a spending budget for the Sept 10, 2016 Consecration and Celebration Lunch.  Directed $1,500 to be reserved as a retirement gift for Archbishop Duncan to be used at his discretion, likely in 2017, but not restricted.  Approved the calling of the Assistant Rector to Redeemer, Nashville.  Issued a Letter Dimissory for the Rev Sean Norris to the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.  Addressed clergy personnel issues in consultation with Bishop-Elect Hobby. Council of Advice and Other Business Advised approval of two Sabbatical Fund Requests for the Rev Ethan Magness (Grace, Slippery Rock) & The Rev John Paul Chaney (Seeds of Hope, Bloomfield) as recommended by Archbishop Duncan. Confirmed (for clarification purposes) the re-districting of Church of the Transfiguration, Clairton (now Elizabeth, PA) from District 8 to District 10. Archbishop Duncan advised the Standing Committee on the establishment of the Archbishop Duncan Legacy Fund. Adopted a special resolution honoring and thanking Canon Mary Maggard Hays for her service to the diocese on the occasion of her stepping down as Canon to the Ordinary. Advised and discussed with Archbishop Duncan the pastoral breakdown and subsequent return of Church of the Advent, Brookline to TEC. Transition between Bishops – the Standing Committee as Transition Committee Archbishop Duncan formally notified the Standing Committee (at our August 2015) meeting of his intention to retire, and upon our advice and consent, to announce his retirement at the conclusion of the November 7, 2015 Diocesan Convention. The Standing Committee immediately took to prayer. We decided against the traditional model of creating a separate Search Committee to execute the transition between bishops, and instead we chose to serve directly as Transition Committee. The Rev Paul Cooper (President 2016) served as leader of the Transition Committee’s portion of the Standing Committee’s work, and the Rev Scott Homer (President 2015) continued to lead the canonical portions of our meetings between September and December 2015. We created and adopted an internal Transition Committee Covenant as a guideline of how we would work together and communicate with one another. We discussed extensively the pros and cons of search processes and discernment processes and their corresponding merits and virtues. We agreed on a nomination process that would come to be known as “The Next Bishop Discernment Process” and its mottos were “Prayer, not Politics” and “Discernment, not a Search”. Two highlights of the process were (a) its de-centralized approach, where the various

D12 districts of the diocese would produce nominees (not a centralized search committee); and (b) a step-by-step process of narrowing discernment. The steps unfolded as follows: Step 1: Communicating the Process/Listening & Suggesting Names (Nov/Dec 2015) Step 2: Broad call to Prayer & Discernment (Jan 2016) Step 3: Discernment in Districts (Feb 2016) Step 4: Discernment for the Nominees (Mar 2016) Step 5: Discernment in Convention (Apr 22-23, 2016) On Saturday, Nov 7, 2015, at Diocesan Convention assembled at St Stephen’s, Sewickley, Archbishop Duncan announced that he intended to retire on June 30, 2016. A presentation outlining the Discernment Process was then made by the Rev Paul Cooper and Mr Doug Wicker to Convention. [Initially we proposed that the process would produce 1, 2, or 3 names to be sent to the Anglican Church in North America’s College of Bishops. We concluded (after much discussion and input), however, that our Constitution and Canons could only imagine nominating one person.] A Clergy Day was called and organized for Dec 2, 2015 at Trinity, Washington for the purpose of communicating the process, answering questions, and spending time in prayer. Special diocesan-wide Days of Prayer and Fasting were called for on Feb 3 and April 21, 2016. Results of the process:  Diocesan-wide, 49 individual names were suggested (of which 19 were eligible, 4 were irregular, 26 would not stand if nominated). A “Roster of Suggested Names” was sent to the Districts as a guide; they could use those names or nominate additional persons.  The Districts were asked to produce up to three nominees. The District meetings produced 11 individual nominations, two of which immediately declined to stand for election.  The 9 Nominees were then given time to pray and discern. Four of those Nominees withdrew, leaving five.  In the week before the election, the Standing Committee was advised that a nomination from-the-floor would be made. The nomination was deemed to be in canonical order.  Therefore, Six Nominees came before the Special Convention. Written materials were distributed to Convention Deputies, and a Q&A session was held to interact with the Nominees on Friday, April 22 at St Stephen’s Sewickley. Balloting took place at the Special Convention on April 23, and the Rev James Lafeyette Hobby Jr was elected on the fifth ballot. The Standing Committee served as presenters at his Consecration at St Paul’s (RC) Cathedral on Saturday, Sept 10, 2016. Celebrations The Standing Committee organized a celebration of ministry for the Rev Canon Mary Maggard Hays at Longue Vue Country Club on February 12, 2016, thanking her for her years of service to the Diocese.

D13

In celebration of Archbishop Duncan’s retirement, and in honor of him and Mrs. Nara Duncan, the Standing Committee organized a diocesan-wide Solemn Evensong at Church of the Ascension, Oakland on June 18, 2016, followed by a river cruise on the Gateway Clipper’s ship “the Empress”. Special Thanks We are grateful for the outstanding extra-mile work done by the following: The Diocesan Staff (especially Ms. Bonnie Catalano); The Diocesan Chancellor Mr Robert Devlin; and the leaders and staff of St Stephen’s Church, Sewickley for hosting the Special Convention, and Church of the Ascension, Oakland (especially Mrs. Marilyn Chislaghi) for organizing and hosting the Celebration Lunch for Bishop Hobby’s Consecration. Thank you to everyone who prayed and contributed during a very busy year. Respectfully Submitted, The Rev Paul A. Cooper, President 2016

ANGLICAN 4TH DAY The Pittsburgh Anglican 4th Day is a laity-led evangelistic tool of the church adapted from the Crusillo movement of the Roman Catholic Church. Begun in the late 1940’s in Spain as a method of renewal for men in the Roman Catholic Church, this movement spread from Spain to America and from the Roman Catholic Church into other denominations. Pittsburgh was brought into the Crusillo fold through the Episcopal Diocese of Erie in 1981 and has been an invaluable source of advisors and supporters to each Bishop of Pittsburgh throughout the ensuing years. Over the past decade, participation has dwindled for a variety of reasons, thus the Secretariat has been working to revitalize this movement to make it more relevant to current times while continuing our commitment to nurturing and empowering baptized Christians. As a first step we have shortened the Anglican 4th Day weekend which will now be three days. The weekend will begin on Friday evening and end on Sunday which will be more convenient for participants. In addition, the weekend itself is being modified to focus on creating the next generation of lay leaders in the Church. These are indeed exciting times for A4D in the Diocese of Pittsburgh!! As an ecumenical mission, the A4D weekends are open to all baptized Christians who are church members in good standing and are leading an active Christian life. This is not intended to be a conversion experience, but an enriching and deepening of a faith already there. Individuals whose lives are in turmoil are recommended to wait until things have stabilized before going to an A4D weekend. It is not for those uncertain about their faith. It is for Christians who are already committed in their walk with the Lord. We continue to ask for your prayers that God’s will be done in this renewal process. Bob Broadbent Lay Leader ANGLICAN RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT FUND

Cuba: Passenger/Farm Utility Van, (with ARDF-Canada) $46,000 Communication New initiatives are raising awareness about ARDF within the ACNA and beyond: ARDF continues to produce a library of videos showing the impact of sustainable, Christ- centered development. For example, ARDF traveled to the Gambella Region of Ethiopia to produce a series of videos concentrating on the transformational life experiences of the people who live in that region. The people of Gambella received new buildings, fresh water sources, medical and hygiene training, and spiritual development. Additionally, they come to a renewed life in Christ. These stories are foundational to communicating what separates ARDF from other development organizations.

ARDF is increasing its reach online through increased field reporting and video updates. These efforts are building bridges between Anglicans in North America and their brothers and sisters overseas. Organization Important organizational changes are refining our focus and efficiency: Christine N. Jones, Director of Mobilization joined ARDF full time staff April 1, 2016. Christine assumed the responsibilities of departing part time staff, The Rev. Charles Treichler and Caleb Vits. She will increase ARDF awareness and activities throughout ACNA churches and individuals along with overall responsibilities for ARDF communications. She has lived in East Africa and Ecuador and knows the importance of cultural differences. She has successfully led sizable volunteer organizations both in the States and abroad. ARDF’s last Global Trustee Council meeting was held in Cairo, Egypt, which brings the Global Primates together with three sister ARDF organizations from the US, Canada and Australia to approve ARDF projects and strategy. The next ARDF Global Council Meeting is scheduled for November 14, 2016 in Singapore. ARDF is guided by primate trustees: The Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach (President), The Most Rev. Dr. Mouneer Anis, The Most Rev. Stanley Ntgali (new), The Most Rev. Stephen Than Myint Oo, The Most Rev. Daniel Deng Bul Yak, The Most Rev. Dr. Onesphore Rwaje (new), The Most Rev. Hector Zavala and The Most Rev. Ng Moon Hing (new) Financial Performance (Estimated Actual June 30, 2016) Estimated actual general income for FY 2016 is $1.04 million, down ($116,000) or (10%) from last year. Two non-recurring major donors of ($217,000) make up more than this decrease. Relief funds received will total around $110,281 down ($208,038) or (65%). The Nepal earthquake and Iraq Christians brought in significant funds last year. Therefore, total donations to ARDF will be about $1.15 million which is down ($324,034) or (22%) from the previous year. Development project disbursements are projected to be $581,996 up $70,000 or 14%. Relief disbursements are projected at $122,109 down ($108,055) or (47%). Total assets in the bank end of May 2016 are $1,047,960 compared to last year at $1,080,121. God has truly blessed ARDF in fiscal year 2015-2016 even though both development and relief revenue was less than last year. ARDF granted additional development funds this year and impacted more lives than the previous year. ARDF has strong reserves to pursue more grants in 2017 than it did in 2016.

BIBLICAL LITERACY TASK FORCE (BLTF)

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Recap of the BLTF Mission Archbishop Robert Duncan called together our Biblical Literacy Task Force (BLTF) in February 2009 to be a lay-led arm of ministry within the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh assisting parishes with recommended resources and promoting a desire for biblical literacy throughout our body.

Biblical Literacy: 4 Major Areas of Focus 1. Bible Reading 2. Bible Memorization 3. Bible Knowledge 4. Bible Worldview

BLTF Original 5-Year Goals - see Appendix A Updated after 7 ½ years of Ministry to the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Task Force Major Activity 2015-2016

A. Promotion of Bible Worldview, Bible Reading, and Bible Knowledge Materials to Aid Biblical Literacy In partnership with Communications Director Ian Mikrut, the BLTF has been listed as a Ministry Partner on the newly redesigned website, and Fred Carlson created a new logo for the ministry. BLTF team members can visit your parish to lead Bible 101, Bible Worldview (a series of 7 lessons strengthening individual awareness of what the Bible itself says about 7 Basic Truths that enhance personal Bible study), and the Scripture Music Memory team.

B. Promotion of Bible Bee (Bible Memorization and Bible Knowledge)-the Eighth Annual National Bible Bee . Continued to focus our promotion to emphasize that this program is a Family Bible Study; this point needs to be repeated to be understood in the Diocese . Custom-made bulletin inserts and posters distributed electronically to every church More information is available at www.biblebee.org.

C. Diocesan-wide Training Day Program Was Held May 30, 2015 (Bible Reading, Scripture Memorization, Bible Knowledge, Bible Worldview) Fulfilling the last of our 5-year goals, the BLTF planned, promoted and produced Bible Teaching Training Days over the past year. The May 2015 program was held at Saint Alban’s Murrysville. The program was featured in Trinity magazine and had their own bulletin inserts prepared to promote the events sent to all the churches. While these programs were initially designed to strengthen teaching leadership of adult Bible studies and Sunday school teaching in the Diocese, we have discovered that most interested serious lay Bible readers can engage and benefit from these Training Day programs. Retired Bishop Duncan has encouraged us to go after interested parishes and ‘low hanging fruit’ that will encourage Bible reading throughout the Diocese based on its own momentum. Diane Kaufmann and Kathy Pierce of Saint Alban’s assisted at the second program. All other programming was created and led by BLTF team members Fred Carlson, Gail Macdonald, Allie Overly, and Kurt Dudt. Gladys Hunt Mason coordinated

the continental breakfasts assisted by Sally Moury. The Bible 101 Powerpoint created by Gail Macdonald can be emailed to parishes and they can easily share it with their parishes themselves.

D. Anglicans and the Bible? Posters Still Available. (Bible Reading, Bible Memorization, Bible Knowledge) The Anglicans and the Bible? poster campaign was prompted by a desire to promote Bible reading in the halls of our churches and to help newcomers to Anglican worship as well as long-time parishioners understand that Bible reading has always been central to Anglican worship and practice. The 3 posters, created by BLTF member Fred Carlson, emphasize regular Bible reading, Bible Knowledge, and Bible Worldview using the quotes of Cranmer. This poster campaign was sent to all the churches in the Diocese. We had input from Rev. Dr. Ashley Null on the Cranmer quotes.

E. Diocesan Convention Presence-November 2015 We continue to reach out to our diocese through table displays, take-aways, bookmarks, PowerPoint presentations, and brief presentations to the large groups. These tools are all useful in continuing to make our ministries known to our top leadership, clergy, and lay leaders. The BLTF distributed a Bible bookmark at convention featuring Paul’s prayer for Holy Spirit understanding before reading scripture from Ephesians 3:14-21.

F. Changes to BLTF Members Tom Locke joined the team in fall 2015.

G. Redesign and production of Bible Worldview booklet. (Bible Knowledge, Bible Worldview) Bible Worldview (a series of 7 lessons strengthening individual awareness of what the Bible itself says about 7 Basic Truths that enhance personal Bible study) has been redesigned from 7 separate lessons into one 16-page booklet with artwork by Fred Carlson. This booklet was produced in August, 2015, and distributed at Convention 2015.

H. Continued Relationship with Scripture Union and Promotion of Regular Bible Reading (Regular Bible Reading) - In spring 2016, the BLTF promoted the new ACNA Daily Office Lectionary as the recommended Bible reading plan for the Diocese. Printed copies of the lectionary were distributed to interested churches and a BLTF article about the new lectionary was featured in the April Trinity magazine. - We also encourage new Bible reading groups around the Diocese to continue an E100 Planner reading cycle. - The BLTF has extra copies of the custom E100 planner and they are available for free from the Diocesan office or from the BLTF. - Other resources, such as the strongly recommended Big Bible Challenge for Families, are easily obtainable directly at the Scripture Union website, www.scriptureunion.org. - Discovery, Scripture Union’s daily Bible reading guide, takes people through portions of every book of the Bible in 4 years. Scripture Union is offering 25 free copies for your

congregation to try. Churches in the Diocese of Pittsburgh may contact Scripture Union’s Sherri Murray directly 412.926.7996 to make arrangements to receive their free copies. - Scripture Union brought new program director Sherri Murray and display materials to the latest BLTF Training Day at Saint Alban’s this past May 30, 2015.

I. New Book of Hebrews curriculum designed (Bible Knowledge, Bible Worldview) Tom Locke wrote and edited and Fred Carlson helped edit a new Powerpoint presentation available to parishes for presentation on the life in the Spirit outlined in the Book of Hebrews.

Our Official Discharging by the Bishop and Current Situation Retired Bishop Robert W. Duncan met with the BLTF in April, 2016, to officially thank us for our years of service to him and the Diocese, and to officially discharge us of our reporting responsibility to him. We are in the beginning stages of discussion with Bishop Hobby to see if we have a role in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh moving ahead from fall 2016.

Appendix A Current Goals (on hiatus): Updated after 7 ½ years of Ministry to the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh and first created spring 2009.

Regular Bible Reading: Goal: 75-80% of church members practicing regular daily Bible reading as a pattern of life reading through the Bible at least once every five years; promotion of new ACNA lectionary (done)

Bible Memorization: Goal: 80% of all church members are memorizing a verse a month. Clergy are encouraged to include once a month in their sermons a verse to memorize.

Bible Knowledge: Goal: 80% exposed to a course on the Bible via online resource, in parish study Sundays and weekdays, in adult course outside of church, awareness and use of pitanglican.org resources list, 80% able to share ‘basic’ Bible knowledge with others, 80% of churches have Bible Bee participation and adult teams to help. Stressing each year throughout the diocese the development of working coherent knowledge—first for yourself, then to share, encourage and grow numbers of churches with functioning adult education courses starting with Sunday mornings and growing outward into the week from there, continue to promote resources, plan programs for teaching leaders (done), build Bible 101 outreach to parishes and train others to do the same (Powerpoint done). Create simple booklet of Bible Worldview lessons (done). Create Hebrews curriculum to offer parishes (done). Offer training programs for mature lay Bible students to strengthen and begin their own Bible study ministries in their churches (done).

Bible Worldview: Goal: 80% of all members of the Diocese are aware of and can share (exhibiting memorization) of the 7 Bible Truths - this focus will combat the unfocused nature of current belief and the unfortunate inarticulation of Christian doctrine, even teenagers could do these; design booklet bringing together these lessons (done).

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING: PITTSBURGH ASSEMBLY Daughters of the King is a Christian Order of women and girls, age 7 and up, lay and ordained, all over the world, who desire a deeper walk with our Lord. We have a Rule of Life, vow a lifetime of Prayer, Service and Evangelism and enjoy the companionship of other Daughters to strengthen our life of faith. Our Assembly currently consists of Daughters from the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. One Daughter is trying to get a Catholic Chapter started. We invite all women to pray and consider if God may be calling her to join the Order. New Chapters in any parish may be started with only 3 Daughters. We include Daughters are no longer connected to a parish Chapter, called Daughters at Large (DAL’s). New leadership is elected every three years and includes members from both dioceses. Chaplain: Our Chaplain for the Assembly is The Rev. Don C. Youse, Jr., Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Northside Executive Board Members: Jessie Hipolit, President Carolyn Booker, Vice President Barbara McMillen, 2nd Vice President Jan Murtha, Treasurer Activities:  We elected new officers in September, 2015 for 3 year terms.  Our President is also acting as the Evangelism Chair. The 2nd Vice President is covering the DAL position. Both of these positions will need to be filled when our Vice President moves out of the Diocese. We hope to spread these duties out and involve more Daughters.  We have a Spring and Fall Assembly, a Quiet Day and meet as Chapters in Parishes all year.

 One new Chapter was started in November of 2013 with 5 Daughters and another in 2015 with 9 Daughters, which now has 11.  Daughters of Advent is our newest Chapter. All the women of the church joined the Chapter!  We had a wonderful Quiet Day during Lent led by our Chaplain, The Rev. Don Youse, with Stations of the Cross meditations, journaling, group discussion, and lunch. Several Daughters from Franklin, PA joined us, making the day extra special.  Our Spring Assembly was held April 30th hosted by The Daughters of Advent, Church of the Advent, Jeanette. Mrs. Peggy Knoll spoke about her trip to Africa and her ministry there.  The President is part of a Province III Committee to address the needs of Daughters at Large

Plans:  We are working on a new website and to get our Facebook page more active and more Daughters online  We are working to clean up contact information, improve communication and internet use, involve DAL’s, meet the special needs of older, disabled and shut-in members and find more ways for Daughters to support each other on our faith journey, that we may minister more effectively to others.  We are planning some discussion and activities around understanding our mission and purpose as Daughters and how to live out our vows through Resurrection eyes.

DEACON FORMATION PROGRAM There are currently two postulants and one candidate in the process for ordination to the vocational diaconate. The Introduction to the Diaconate course, which took place in May, included three students. On the whole, about fifty percent of "Intro" students tend to move forward and seek ordination, though that obviously varies from year to year. We continue to benefit greatly from Trinity School for Ministry’s involvement in the academic portion of our program and in their encouragement of our students’ progress. Trinity is a valuable partner in this work. We are also thankful for opportunities to engage in distance education via Skype. This fall students will be learning about Pastoral Care via Skype (and in person for those who live locally). Deacon Regis Turocy has agreed to serve as lead instructor for this course. The members of the Deacon Formation board are: John Cruikshank, Kathy Walzer, Nancy Phillips, and Mark Stevenson. Each of them has been a great blessing to our deacons-information and understands the importance not only of education but of formation. I am grateful to them all. All members of the Deacon Formation Board are glad to speak to those who are interested in the diaconate. Inquirers are especially encouraged to contact me at any time with questions or simply for prayer support while they discern. It is always a joy to work with those who are seeking ordination. Respectfully submitted, Deacon Tara Jernigan, D.Min., Director of Deacon Formation

WOMEN ALIVE IN CHRIST It is by God’s grace that Women Alive in Christ seeks to serve the women of our Pittsburgh diocese, by the power of the Holy Spirit leading us in all we do. Our “Building Stones” below clearly states our ministry: 1. Worshiping the One True God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit 2. Living in relationship with Jesus 3. Being rooted in Holy Scripture as guided by the Holy Spirit 4. Finding rest and refreshment as we grow in our discipleship to Jesus 5. Deepening our fellowship with one another in Jesus

As this year’s events transpired, even more women from a wide spread of parishes have attended. Here is a quick glimpse of what some of your women have heard: Dr. Erika Moore lead a retreat on “Ezekiel: Assurances for Dark Times,” March 11th-12th with 33 women from 19 parishes. Part of our take away from this Old Testiment teaching agrees with what we hear each Sunday, that we all have sinned and fallen short. Repent.

The Rev. Ethan Magness spoke at a Women’s Blessing luncheon on “Being a Community of Consolation in a World of Affliction” - a powerful teaching about compassion. It was hosted by St. Peter’s Anglican Church on May 7th with 41 women attending from 11 parishes. Dr. Jeanne Kohn spoke at a July Women’s Blessing luncheon on “Digging Deeper: Discovering God’s Refuge and Strength.” Our host was Trinity Anglican, Washington, where their sanctuary provided a comforting space to hear the repeating “Be still and know the I am God” through psalm 46 and music accompaniment. Our numbers kept growing that day to 51 women attending from 9 parishes. The leadership of our team had the honor of a personal meeting with Bishop Hobby this summer. With his blessings this ministry will continue on, encouraging the women of our diocese in Jesus and gathering us together that we all may be one. Next year’s retreat leaders will be The Rev. Dr. Peter Walker and Dr. Edith Humphrey. Please encourage all the women you know to come and see, hear and grow, as they attend our programs, offered for His glory and as a service to the women of our fine diocese. Sincerely, Women Alive in Christ Leadership Team Sharon Forrest, Cindy Thomas, Marian Kreithen, Diane Babcock, Terra Elsberry, Bonnie Colaianne

Part II: Reports of Cognate Institutions & Agencies

CANTERBURY PLACE

When I prepare for worship here each Sunday, I am always aware of the unbroken strain of praise to our God since our inception as the Episcopal Church home in 1859. This particular Chapel was added on in 1896, and I am well aware that the residents and I are but one small chapter in the “book” of the body of Christ in Pittsburgh. Our 10:45 Sunday congregation is now more diverse; a gathering of Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, a Messianic Jew, and Anglicans. Catholic Mass is held each Sunday afternoon and on Holy Days at 1:30, and an ecumenical Chapel service is held each Sunday at 10am on our Dementia Care Unit. That’s 3 services every Sunday! Then the Catholic Priest and I visit those who cannot attend our in-house services. We serve communion or visit 80-100 Residents every Sunday and follow up with pastoral visits during the week. Our Jewish population has dwindled so now we meet for Shabbat every other Friday, the service led by a volunteer from Rodef Shalom: Emmeline Silk. Connie Guggenheimer from Christ Church Fox Chapel assists with visitation most Wednesdays, and Jean Pascarella, also from Christ Church, serves as our Altar Guild.

We had six CPE interns this academic year; Father Chike Anyigbo, a Roman Catholic Priest from Nigeria here in the states pursuing his PhD in Medical Bio Ethics at Duquesne University, Paul Hassell, Postulant and now Transitional Deacon from St. Stephen’s Church planting a church in the Ben Avon area, Dan Isadore, a Transitional Deacon and now Priest from TEC St. Andrew’s/St. Thomas, Claire Megles, Postulant for Holy Orders from Trinity Washington and Hospice Chaplin, Rebecca Siddle, an ordained Presbyterian Minister and Chaplain, and Seth Zimmerman Postulant and now Transitional Deacon from St. Stephen’s Church planting a church in the Ben Avon area . All learned a good deal about Pastoral Visitation and Counseling, and served the Residents of UPMC Senior Communities well. I continue to serve as Director of Pastoral Care for all of UPMC Senior Communities, supervising the Chaplains in our 5 skilled facilities.

This year we lost another staff member, a 24year old Certified Nursing Assistant. This is the third consecutive year we have suddenly lost a staff member at Canterbury Place. A memorial service was held in Qwinn Ballard’s memory.

Please continue to keep this ministry in your prayers. There are so many opportunities to preach the Gospel and share God’s love in this context.

Respectfully Submitted, The Reverend Gaea Thompson Chaplain, Canterbury Place Director, Pastoral Care UPMC Senior Communities

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATES OF SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA A Unifying Voice in the name of Jesus Christ for the Mission of the Gospel and the Wholeness of Communities

Mailing Address: PO Box 5241 • Pittsburgh, PA 15206 • Phone: 412-688-9070 Fax: 412-688-9091 • Web: www.casp.org • E-mail: [email protected] E-newsletter: signup.casp.org • Facebook: www.facebook.com/christianassociatesswpa

Dear brothers and sisters in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh:

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania. We are grateful for your prayers and encouragement, your engagement in our ministries, and your generous financial commitment. We look forward to welcoming Bishop Hobby to our Council of Bishops & Judicatory Executives. Christian Associates works for Christian unity among the Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches of our region. Since 1970, Christian Associates has been seeking the mission of the Gospel and the wholeness of our communities through:

 Collegiality: convening Christian leaders to build relationships grounded in trust and common values  Collaboration: mobilizing church bodies to speak and act for the common good  Communication: sharing news, events, and information to help churches connect and thrive  Connectedness: bringing the voice of the church to civic, community, and interfaith partnerships.

In the past year, we have pursued these priorities in diverse and innovative ways:

 We started SPARK Conversations, a series of informal lunch gatherings for Christian leaders who share a common role, identity, or interest. The first SPARK series included meet-ups for clergy under age 40, church planters, campus ministers, and other groups. Watch for another season of SPARK beginning this winter.

 Our Council of Bishops and Executives spoke out on the refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe, underlining the Christian mandate to welcome the stranger and care for people in harm’s way. We continue to work to equip Christian leaders with the information and connections they need to extend welcome in our communities.

 We launched a brand new Web site at www.casp.org, and continued our paper newsletter, “The Call,” and our e-newsletter, “Unity n’At.” Please like us on Facebook and visit http://signup.casp.org to add your name to our e-newsletter list.

E14

 Working with partner organizations, we created worship resources such as “Feed My Lambs” (exploring childhood hunger) and “Ending Gun Violence,” to help clergy connect Sunday worship with important community issues.

In the midst of these efforts, Christian Associates also packed up our Lawrenceville office, where we had been located since 1998, and moved to the campus of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in East Liberty. As we continue to settle in to our beautiful new space, we are excited about the new possibilities for collaboration that this setting offers. Please be sure to update your records with our new mailing address: P.O. Box 5241, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. All our work is made possible through the contributions of our member judicatories, as well as the gifts of our individual, congregational, and corporate donors. We are especially grateful to the members of the John 17 Society, who support our work with gifts of $250 or more each year. Financing the work of Christian unity in these challenging times requires everyone’s support; please help us ensure a solid future for Christian Associates. I am grateful that the Anglican Diocese joins us in our vitally important mission. May the unifying Spirit lead us onward! Thank you again for your support of Christian Associates.

Your sister in Christ,

The Rev. Liddy Barlow Executive Minister

CHURCH ARMY USA Church Army USA continues to strengthen its ties with The ACNA and the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. Because we are called to work with the church, not apart from it, we are meeting with Bishops and dioceses throughout the US to bring awareness to our ministry and to encourage dioceses and parishes to reach out to the communities around them. Church Army evangelists might be called “domestic missionaries”. Instead of operating in a foreign country with only financial support from the parish, we primarily work with the parishes to help them engage their communities with outreach ministries that are inventive and will bring the gospel message to people who ordinarily would not hear it. We look forward to collaborating with Bp. Hobby in the months and years ahead to equip the diocese and its parishes with evangelists who will assist the church in reaching the least, the last, and the lost that are in their parish neighborhoods.

She served as director for 22 years. Sharon presided over eight New Wineskins for Global Mission conferences, trained thousands of Anglicans to be mission-minded, and will continue as a full-time staff member through the end of 2016. The Kingdom of God has been impacted for all of eternity because of her service. Thank you, Sharon! "Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matt. 25:23)

Conference Dedicated to Founder Louise Hannum Who Died in February A special video tribute to Louise Hannum, co-founder of the Episcopal Church Missionary Community (now New Wineskins Missionary Network) launched the 8th New Wineskins conference. The conference was originally created by the Hannums to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ECMC in 1994, but has become a premier Anglican mission-focused training and networking event. Louise passed away in her sleep at age 97. Her advice to Anglicans today who want to fulfill the Great Commission: Be a learner, be a learner, be a learner!

Jenny Noyes Installed as New Director What better way to get your feet wet as head of a mission agency than to jump into the deep-end of a conference year? By serving as emcee, Jenny was able to introduce herself as the wife of Larry for 32 years; the mother of special needs young adult Kelly, youth pastor Eric, and Marine Corps officer Brian; and a networker for Christ with an evangelistic heart for the world. Jenny brings experience from her tenure with AlphaUSA, the Anglican Communion Network (ACN) and its Sharing Our Faith initiative as well as nine years as a missions, outreach and evangelism director at an Anglican church plant. She is grateful to have the blessing of both Louise and Sharon as she takes the reins of New Wineskins Missionary Network.

New Wineskins Represented at Lausanne Gathering in Indonesia in August For the first time ever, New Wineskins Missionary Network was represented at a Lausanne worldwide event. Jenny Noyes attended the Lausanne Younger Leaders Gathering in Jakarta, Indonesia along with 1,000 young and 200 older Christian leaders. The Lausanne Movement was started by the Rev. Dr. Billy Graham and others the same year that we were founded in 1974. Since that time, there have only been 6 worldwide events. The Lausanne Movement seeks to facilitate unity among Christians and Christian denominations and organizations to complete the task of world evangelization. Jenny was able to network with Christian leaders from 160 countries during the 8-day conference.

Congratulations to Bp. Jim Hobby and Welcome to the Diocese of Pittsburgh! Bp. Jim Hobby has been a member of the New Wineskins Conference faculty for many years. In fact, we have a VHS tape from 2003 of Jim’s talk called “Parishes: Being Strategic in Mission!” We are excited about Bp. Jim’s missional vision and how we can all partner in the future to help make it a reality in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Thank you for your prayers, financial support, and partnership in the Gospel! Invite us to your parishes and let us know how we can help you to become “strategic in mission”!

SAMS-USA SOCIETY OF ANGLICAN MISSIONARIES AND SENDERS SAMS is pleased to call the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh our home since we have had our office in Ambridge for close to 30 years and have grown partnerships with many churches across the diocese. Since 1976 God has faithfully worked through SAMS-USA missionaries starting initially in South American Anglican dioceses. Known as the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders since 2010, SAMS’ expanded vision offers more opportunities for individuals and parishes to share the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed across cultures globally. The Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS) is a missionary sending community. SAMS engages in building relationships with the worldwide church to experience the broken restored, the wounded healed, the hungry fed, and the lost found through the love and power of Jesus Christ. SAMS is both a society of missionaries serving in partnership with the Anglican Church globally and, also, vitally, a society of senders serving these missionaries through giving, prayer, and support. We strive to be a global Anglican family walking together in the ways of Jesus to spread Kingdom change throughout our communities. Consequently, the Society is committed to sharing the Gospel in word and deed, serving Christ through the global Anglican Church, and sending Anglicans who are submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture. SAMS partners with the Anglican Church through the sending of missionaries to eighteen countries in five continents. Currently, 99 missionaries and associate missionaries serve or are preparing to serve. Close to 5000 individuals and churches support these missionaries as senders. SAMS’ career missionaries are engaged in ministries ranging from providing medical care to impoverished communities in the Dominican Republic, to planting churches in Honduras, to helping the poor in Uganda, to establishing a seminary in Ethiopia. Among our long-term missionaries, we have eleven serving on the field or as associates who have deep roots in the diocese: John and Susan Park (who have returned to Pittsburgh) are continuing to serve by building up the church in Perú, Belize, and Honduras; Margarita Grachen, with her daughters Hannah and Gabriela, is continuing to encourage the ministry to children in Honduras; Ron and Debby McKeon are serving in the Diocese of Recife, Brazil; Mike and Betty Kaszer are continuing to coordinate teams for work in Honduras (where Betty and Mike taught at Holy Trinity School in the town of La Ceiba); Grant and Wendy LeMarquand are serving in Ethiopia, Grant as the Area Bishop of the Horn of Africa, and Wendy in community-based health care; Steven V. is serving in Eastern Europe; and Nate and Erika Twichell are the Directors of the Agape Year (the Anglican Global Mission Partners gap year for young people graduated from high school).with. Two of SAMS’ newest missionary candidates are Nate and Erika Twichell who, along with their son Henry, are being sent out of Church of the Ascension, Oakland. We are excited about their vision for Agape Year, a gap year program for young people just out of high school being launched as a collaborative project of the Anglican Global Missions Partners (AGMP) in 2017.

The first 5 months of the school year, the participants will be living in community, serving and learning with folks that are doing Kingdom work here in Pittsburgh while being discipled in the Anglican tradition. They will pray, serve, and grow together. This discipleship phase will be followed by a 4-6 week long overseas mission hosted by one of the Anglican Global Missions Partners, where the young participants will get a glimpse of how big God's church body is, and what He is doing throughout the world. Following the mission, the students will return to the States for a time of debriefing and then they will hit the road to visit churches and youth groups, sharing their stories of what they have seen God doing in Pittsburgh and beyond. Please pray for Nate and Erika as they earnestly seek for those the Lord is raising up to complete their sending team to financially and prayerfully support this vital ministry to young people being raised up as World Christians. Pray, too, that Agape Year will help raise up the next generation of missionaries for the Lord’s harvest field. SAMS offers a weekend training program for people who will be leading or desire to lead short- term mission teams. This comprehensive training was overhauled in recent years with innovations in cross-cultural education as well as redesigned approaches to team building, budgeting, fundraising, understanding poverty, and encouraging spiritual growth. SAMS will be holding our national short-term mission leaders’ training event in this diocese, as we have for the past 15 years, on February 18-19, 2017. This year the training will also have an additional track for teams preparing for domestic cross-cultural mission. All churches in the diocese are encouraged to participate. SAMS can help your church connect with mission opportunities with our missionaries or site coordinators, but this training is designed for helping teams go anywhere with anyone in the world. You may register on our website www.sams- usa.org or call Lynn Bouterse at 724-266-0669. SAMS also offers Bridgers, a missionary intern program. SAMS places 18- to 88-year-olds in service from one month to one year under the mentorship of a long-term missionary who will help the intern grow as a servant-leader. Internships may be arranged any time of the year. SAMS is pleased to have trained and sent out 12 Bridgers this past year including Drs. Brian and Judith Taylor, St. Peter’s, Uniontown, to Myanmar; The Rev. Deb Carr, the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh, to Kenya; Ben Clifton, Church of the Ascension, Oakland, to Ecuador and others to Bolivia, Uganda, Honduras, Perú, Chile, and Madagascar. If you are interested in an application, please call Lynn at 724-266-0669. There have been a growing number of career missionary applicants, but there are still many opportunities for church planters, school teachers, youth ministers, theological educators, administrators of social ministries, nurses, and many other types of ministries. We have placed engineers, carpenters, bankers, physical therapists, and people from all backgrounds. Please encourage members of your congregation to consider missionary service, or perhaps to explore this call further by serving as an intern for anytime from a month to a year. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement for someone to discern a ministry call that will make a profound difference in the lives of so many.

E19

SAMS is honored to be partners in the mission of the church with the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. May the good fruit that has already been borne over the past 40 years from our work together be just the first fruits of what is to come. Your co-worker in the fields ripe for harvest,

Stewart Wicker President and Mission Director SAMS PO Box 399 Ambridge, PA 15003 (724) 266-0669 [email protected] www.sams-usa.org
