COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS . The Rev. George Sotelo and Dennis Delman

The Rev. George Sotelo stated that the number of paid staff at the Diocesan Office is few and that much of the day-to-day ministry of the Diocese is dependent on volunteers. He thanked those who had served on many of the commissions and committees of the Diocese.

Mr: Delman read the names of the nominees.

Standing Committee Clergy: The Rev. Jack Eastwood, St. Paul's, Oakland; The Rev Nancy Eswein, Sojourn Chaplaincy, San Francisco General Hospital The Rev. Robert Ross, Trinity Church, Menlo Park The Rev. Anna Lange-Soto, El Buen Pastor, Redwood City Lay: Kathy Henry, St. James', San Francisco

Secretary of Convention Nigel Renton

Treasurer of the Diocese James Wall

Mr. Delman asked for additional nominations.

MSC.

Mr. Delman instructed the delegates to vote for one person only for the Standing Committee, Clergy Order. The person who comes in second will fill the second vacancy.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck called attention to the revised resolutions #1, #2, and #4. She said these revisions were made after a hearing with each of the deaneries and consultation with the authors and that. the revised resolutions therefore nullify the resolutions found in the Convention booklet. She invited anyone wishing to be heard or make comments to attend a hearing on the revised resolutions in the Chapter House during the lunch hour. She then asked if there were any resolutions from the floor.

The Rev. Katherine Salinaro, Holy Trinity, Richmond, announced that the Peace and Justice Commission would like to put forward a resolution opposing war with Iraq. Copies of the resolution were not yet available. In summary the resolution is in support of the published statement of Bishop Swing and Dean Alan Jones putting restrictions on the country's conduct regarding the war on Iraq.

Mr. Renton recommended that the Convention vote now to look at the resolution later when copies are available. MSC.

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck announced that the resolution on war with Iraq would- also be looked at during the lunchtime hearing. There were no further resolutions from the floor.

4 DioCal 004103 THE BISHOP'S ADDRESS

Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the most joyful moments of this past year was when we, through the Episcopal Community Services, opened the Canon, Barcus Community House, named after William Barcus, our first Executive Director of Homeless Ministries. The jewel in the crown of this $21.5 million facility is the family pavilion for 48 families. The first thing that happens when a family becomes homeless is that the children scatter. One goes here; one goes there. The first thing that happened when we opened our doors is that families were reunited. Sheer joy, close to the heart of God. It is one thing to look out on the ocean of homeless individuals who wander the streets. It is another thing to witness the reunion of families. To connect the dots and all of a sudden to discover the discrete integrity of a small universe, a fresh pattern of belonging, an emerging picture of hope.

That will be the theme of this year's Convention Address, Connecting the dots, discovering the discrete integrity of a small universe, a pattern of belonging, an emerging picture of hope.

I. Our Interconnectedness with National and Global Issues

Here is a burning question seeking our.deepest answers: What can we as the Episcopal Church do or say to prepare Christians for life and witness in a country at war? Even potentially a country in two wars? Each of us is now engaged indirectly with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

Here is another situation. An Episcopal priest in Philadelphia is deposed by his bishop. But wait. The Archbishop of Canterbury offers to accept the deposed priest in the Diocese of Canterbury and reinstate his priesthood. But wait again. The Bishop in Pittsburgh beats him to the punch, accepts the deposed priest by way of Africa, and sends him to Philadelphia to serve in hi,s old parish. Our Presiding Bishop says that he has no power to adjudicate the mess. Are you confused? Some folks are trying to erase the lines of connectedness. The total picture blurs.

So what do we do in the Diocese of California? We intend to stay connected. We do not indulge ourselves in the luxury of isolation with the diet ofself-righteousness that generally accompanies it. I think of the eight years we had a companion relationship with the Diocese of Jerusalem and how today those relationships forged in a cauldron of suffering are still alive. I think of our China Friendship Committee, under the able leadership of Dr. Robert Chin, as we have spent a decade holding on to our Christian sisters and brothers in that religiously challenged country. I think of all of our congregations which have significant bonds with places all over the earth. (If your congregation has no outside or overseas local connection, you are robbed of a great blessing.) I think of our people and churches which are outspoken on issues. I think of the people whose voices are usually not in the majority on testy issues, and still they stay connected. I think of our parishioners and clergy who are reaching out to people of other faiths, building cultures of peace amidst a world of religiously motivated violence and am proud to know such peacemakers. We tug at the lines, we often disagree, but we stay connected.

DioCal 004104 II. Accountability Holds Us Together

During the past year, corporate greed and secrecy in America began to give way to disclosure and adjudication. Arthur Andersen, WorldCom, Martha Stewart, Enron —powerful names are all in the process of being meticulously investigated for wrongdoing. Who can you trust? Executives with obscene benefits cut exit deals for themselves and left people with retirement plans in dire straits. A profound moral ugliness appeared in our mirror.

What's a church to do? It's obvious. We need to "maintain the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct, prudent use of resources, and fair and accurate disclosure of information." And we do. We have audits, we have many eyes looking at our financial records, and we pay our assessments.

At the Diocesan level, we have a Finance Committee,. we have a Treasurer, Jim Wall, we have a Controller, Jim Forsyrth, we have an outside audit, and when our assessment of almost $600,000 comes from the National Episcopal Church, we pay it in full. Likewise our institutions, schools, and congregations are prudent and thorough in their accounting. This Diocese leads the nation in terms of meeting full financial responsibility. We have seen on the front pages of our newspapers that when financial record keeping gets slippery, the ultimate result is a lack. of confidence in the entire enterprise. We in the Church are called to lead in financial honesty and to make sure all of the dots are connected.

III. Radical Innovation

At Clergy Conference last month, Richard Pascale, eminent professor, author, and consultant on management issues, spoke with us about the dangers of congregations striving to prolong an equilibrium, a quiet balance of comfortable harmony. He spoke about the importance of periodic innovations that disturb the community but also bring new vitality, necessary vitality. I see this today all over the Diocese of California. For instance, congregations want to grow . congregations hire clergy who will help bring in new people and new families ...then when the new folks arrive, all sorts of problems break out,... and the question is whether to seek to return to the old equilibrium or seek an equilibrium based on the arrival of the new and the accommodation of the veteran members.

The entire Jubilate Deo is an effort to disturb our present equilibrium and experiment with new ways of addressing our delayed maintenance, new ways of working together to succeed in addressing challenges at which we presently are failing. If we can go beyond singular approaches and begin to connect the dots, then we can do better.

There were two breakthrough moments for me in Jubilate -Deo. The first came at this past Clergy Conference when a priest said to me,"Why don't we use our best fundraising abilities to launch Latino ministry in a vigorous new way?" This question happened to be about Latino ministry, but it could have been about any one of numerous ministries. In order to launch Latino ministry in a vigorous new way, what do we need to do together? The answer is Jubilate Deo; the answer is many faceted and variously related. We need:

6 DioCal 004105 (1) Anew theological curriculum and ministerial approach for Hispanics — by the way, Professor John Kater of CDSP is making that possible;

(2) A mentor to lead Latinos through the ordination process and ari advocate in regard to Canon Law and the relevant committees;

A strategy for Latino church planting and the financial funds to back it up;

A strategy for housing Latino priests in an area where housing costs are astronomical;

New ideas for spiritually enriching Latino congregations;

The training of Latino lay people to assist in the congregations;

Special monies from the Creative Ministry Fund of Jubilate Deo to afford fresh launching; and

(g) Financial assistance for theological education loans that will he needed by Latino leaders.

When all the dots are connected, what we have is a comprehensive approach. It is called Jubilate Deo. It will indeed address Latinos, AND it will address Chinese, Filipinos, Fijians, Japanese- Americans, African-Americans, Caucasians, and congregations on the margin, and ministry training for all the baptized, and a stronger connectedness with existing far-out ministries, and sharing of models of programs that work. Jubilate Deo is like looking into the night sky, and at first glance the plethora of stars give way to no pattern. But when you begin connecting the dots, you see the Big or Little Dipper. Or as God said to Job in the whirlwind, "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?" God has put something there. If you see it, you can serve it. In trying to follow Jesus Christ, sometimes a large connectedness can be traced, and you can recognize the imprint of a body that holds it together. Jubilate Deo is the Body of Christ that we see in the darkness of our night sky.

The second breakthrough moment for me in Jubilate Deo came early on when imagining if a tiny Episcopal Charities Appeal could possibly grow up to be a strong, resourceful Episcopal

Charities. Could we take our annual supportfor our agencies, keep that in place, and strive for a greater sense of cooperation among those agencies while expanding the number of agencies? Could we create afee=for-service component whereby our staff would be available to other non- profits and earn monies to defray our overhead, so that all charities money would go 100% to the Charities? Could we stretch to be of assistance to all of our congregations which want to expand or start social ministries? Could we embrace the oversight responsibilities heretofore handled by the Department of Social Ministries? In other words, could we create a new constellation of dots and then connect those dots in a freshly expanded Episcopal Charities?

The answer was yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Under the very able leadership of Sally Coates, and her sidekick, Hank Nourse, all of this has begun to fall into place. It .took me a year to get the picture, but now I see it and it makes abundant sense.

7 DioCal 004106 For the last year, I have promised you that I would bring to this Convention the financial design for the Jubilate Deo and you would know how much all of this is going to cost and how much it is going to cost you. And you would vote as you see fit. You will be happy to know that there will not be a congregational campaign for the whole of Jubilate Deo, so there is nothing of finance to be voted upon.

There will be a campaign for the new Episcopal Charities, and I urge the response of all Episcopalians to make this Episcopal Charities Campaign a success. To get it off to a strong start, the Diocesan Board of Directors has voted to move $500,000 of the unrestricted funds of our portfolio into Episcopal- Charities, and further the Directors voted to move more than a million dollars worth of social ministry restricted funds into Episcopal Charities so that Episcopal Charities can manage and direct these assets. The goal is to make sure that this Diocesan creation, this restructured Episcopal Charities, would go into the world with a significant financial statement. We hope that the rest of the Diocese will follow the lead of our Directors.

As for the rest of Jubilate Deo, funding will come from two sources: (1) from unrestricted assets in our portfolio which the Board of Directors has already authorized; and (2) from a handful of major gifts which will be pursued by the Executive Committee of the Jubilate Deo.

At the end of this morning we will have an hour to go over together the details of these finances and the organizational structure. In the meantime, I want to make one proposal to you. We have . already -established that the Diocese of California would have three years of Jubilate Deo time, October 2002 to October 2005. I propose that we structure a Department of Jubilate Deo to be established with athree-year, time-certain lifespan. This Department would report to the Diocesan Council to carry out the Jubilate Deo goals and objectives which were voted on at the Special Diocesan Convention, May 4, 2002. Its three-year budget will be in the $3 million to $3.5 million range. These funds would come from unrestricted endowment monies and from major gifts. I propose that this Diocesan Convention endorse the Board of Directors' decision to release a portion of our non-restricted funds for the purpose of Jubilate Deo. Thereby all the dots of Jubilate Deo ...program and finance ...will be connected.

IV. Our Life: Locally and Evolving

It has been said: "The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts." (Paul R. Ehrlich) Yes, we are ready to move into radical innovation, but we can only dare this because there is health on the local level ...churches, schools, institutions. We intend to save all the parts as we begin to tinker.

St. Albans, Brentwood celebrated its 75`h Anniversary . , . CDSP has a growing student body and large expansion plans ...Holy Family, Half Moon Bay, is ministering to migrant workers ... St. Gregory of Nyssa has a spectacular food ministry working with the San Francisco Food Bank ... 14 students entered the first class of Latino Theological Education ... in 1980 congregational giving throughout the Diocese was $4.2 million; at the end of last year it was more than $15 million (more than triple) . . on the other hand, in 1987 the Episcopal Churchwomen from 72 congregations kept United Thank Offerings; this past year only 23

8 DioCal 004107 congregations did —the thankful connection with UTO mission outreach is waning at the present ...thanks to Godly Play, the influx of young children into the Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley was spectacular ... St. Francis', Novato is greatly enjoying its new children's service at the end of the day ... El Buen Samaritano is looking into expanding ... St. Giles' celebrated 20 years of being with the Roman Catholic Christian Brothers at St. Mary's College ... St. Mark's, Berkeley celebrated its 125`h and the terrific remodeling of its facilities .. . Grace Church, Martinez completed a decade of building expansion, beautification, and parish growth as the Rev. George Ross retired after 24 years there ... St. Anne's, Fremont is getting ready to welcome an Alzheimer's residence on their property and build new facilities for their church ...the Youth Ministry Academy, atwo-year, full-time professional youth ministry internship program is functioning with CDSP; we received $40,000 in two separate grants, which was enough along with program money to pilot three internship sites ...this year the Diocese of California's Young Adult Ministry and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco became partners in reaching out to twentysomethings —all the way to Jillian's Bar in the Metreon; over five weeks Roman Catholic and Episcopal theologians reflected over beer and cocktails on the difficult questions of Christian life with thirsty young adults and reached up to two hundred young adults and made the local 11 o'clock news ...Oasis/California covenant congregations continue to grow ...the Department of Stewardship is hosting the Episcopal Network for Stewardship Conference, and the Lenten material it developed last year is being used in Canada and England ...the Office of Gift Planning wrote a gift annuity for $50,000 funded with a Visa Card, all because anon-Episcopalian saw an article about Bishop Swing in the Nob Hill Gazette ... in this past year we have ordained nine new priests, three deacons, and received two Roman Catholic priests; presently we have 35 individuals in the ordination process (24 for the priesthood, 11 for the diaconate) ...even though I dropped and broke the Lutheran bishop's crosier, it was firmly fixed and our relationship is unimpaired .. . St. Paul's Towers celebrated its SO`" Anniversary ...the brand new Seafarers Building on the Oakland docks was finished and dedicated ...the Pacific Church News went online for 11 months a year ...the first Vestry Day seminar was held and was a great success ...also the first dinner with Bishop and Church wardens was held ... in critiquing our book, From~Gold Rush to Millennium, reviewer Gladys Hansen wrote: "From Gold Rush to Millennium is a must for every San Francisco history buff or scholar. Though dwarfed by the city's huge Roman Catholic population, the Episcopalians have been one of the most active forces in local history. Their first churches were built from contributions often made of freshly mined nuggets or small packets of gold dust. That gold dust has been repaid athousand-fold."

V. The Team and I

This is a year in which Julie Graham had a baby, Sue Singer got a full scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. in Education, Freddie Williams retired. Nevertheless, the old Diocesan Office keeps chugging along.

I would like for the following people who work in the Diocesan Office to stand .... Please hold your applause until we get everyone up. (All standing.) These are the quiet stars that sparkle as they try to bring information, referrals, humor, pastoral concern and a caring presence to the people of this Diocese. It is a privilege to work with competent self-starters who have a passion for the Gospel.

9 DioCal 004108 I continue to put in considerable time at St. Luke's Hospital at this moment of affiliation with the Sutter Health Care System. I cannot say enough good for Sutter. Without them we would be bankrupt. They have infused over $68 million into St. Luke's this year; they have made it possible for us to expand our charity care, they have begun the movement of specialists to our hospital, they have brokered a much closer relationship between California Pacific Medical Center and St. Luke's, and they are making plans for St. Luke's to be remodeled, updated, and expanded to the tune of $250,000,000. Mr. Philip Pillsbury of our Diocese deserves enormous credit for making sure that we stay engaged in the healing ministry begun 132 years ago by the Rev. Dr. Thomas Brotherton.

Also, in addition to making church visitations, school visitations, visits to institutions, writing and correspondence, retreat leading, counseling sessions, and fundraising, chairing and attending numerous board meetings, I worked to help the United Religions Initiative, and have spoken throughout_ our country this past year, and from Brazil to the Arctic Circle.

For 15 years I have been on the Board of the American Foundation for AIDS Research. One of the researchers whom we funded has come up with T-20, which will be of great help now but of immense help in the next stage of drug treatment in AIDS. This man, Dr. Carl Wild, said, "Without AmfAR we probably would not have developed T-20. AmfAR played a vital role." I cannot tell you how much personal satisfaction I derive from this, I am not an immunologist or virologist, but I am a little dot that gets connected to others, and all of a sudden health replaces sickness and life replaces death. Being the Bishop of California brings a thousand times more personal satisfaction than when I'm with AmfAR. I thank you again for electing me and supporting me and working with me. Through God's generosity and ongoing creation, we are graced to be able to connect the dots and all of a sudden to discover the discrete integrity of a small universe, a fresh pattern of belonging, an emerging picture of hope. I greatly look forward to this coming year's adventures and to offering ourselves for the sake of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

THE FIRST BALLOT

Mr. Delman instructed the delegates on the balloting procedure. To win election for Standing Committee and Ecclesiastical Court it was necessary to win a majority in both orders on the first ballot. The delegates were instructed to vote for Standing Committee, Clergy Order, and Ecclesiastical Court, Lay Order. The other elections were not contested.

THE BISHOP'S ANNOUNCEMENT

The Bishop thanked the Ven. Clarence Stacy for his many years of service to the Diocese and Church, and announced that he would leave remarriage work and begin work with Jubilate Deo.

l0 DioCal 004109 REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF JUBILATE DEO

The Bishop called the delegates' attention to the handout on Jubilate Deo (Appendix A) and the organizational structure of the Department of Jubilate Deo. He said he would like to spend some time going over the structure of what this will be and asked Sally Coates to discuss the Episcopal Charities role in the Jubilate Deo.

Episcopal Charities Sally Coates

Good morning. How many of you have a watch with you or on you today? Just asI figured, just about everybody. It's important in our culture to be able to tell time. We were raised to be on time. We served occasional time-outs when we misbehaved. We were taught the virtues of taking time off, and for most of you with a keen sense of time, you can probably tell me when my time is up here this morning. But I'm here to tell you that this is no ordinary time. This is Jubilate Deo time. As the Bishop said in the most recent Pacific Church News, "Now, now, now is the time to live in an elevated destiny. A span in which we stop giving vague lip-service and start doing valuable heart-service, when we walk our talk.." That means that it is Episcopal Charities time.

This year Episcopal Charities celebrated twenty-five years of a legacy of compassion, and we are expanding to embrace new responsibilities and new ministries as we put that compassion into action. In 1998 we broadened our mission to support new and existing non-profits in their efforts to make a crucial difference in the lives of the poor, oppressed, and endangered in the Bay Area, regardless of their religious affiliations or practices. We decided it was time to expand our mission. Time to extend our reach beyond simply raising money and enhancing the profile of our partner agencies. Now we are serving the servants of those in need wherever they are, thus helping to sustain the remarkable acts of compassion that take place in our Diocese every day. We continue to do this by supporting our partner agencies as they care for the homeless, fight substance abuse, care for the developmentally disabled, or visit the critically ill in our community. We do this through our service center by providing state-of--the-art back office expertise in the areas of finance, development, governance, and program to vital social service agencies. We do this by partnering with our local parishes to strengthen the outreach work that is growing out of the hearts of Episcopalians in the Diocese of California. As I said, this expansion began in 1998, and it comes to fruition now and in the future. Concurrently, in 2000 the Bishop issued a call to Jubilee, a Jubilee that would vastly expand social ministry. Therefore, in responding to this call for a time of Jubilee, Episcopal Charities has accepted the challenge to expand our work with our partner agencies, our service center, and our local congregations even further. We are doing this in three ways:

• By launching a major funds campaign to expand the capacity of Episcopal Charities; • By developing a strategy to coordinate all outreach efforts of congregations and Diocesan outreach and advocacy ministries; and • By coordinating charitable giving within the Diocese.

Please let me take enough time to look at each one of these initiatives a bit closer.

11 DioCal 004110 Our first initiative, the Major Funds Drive, will be steered by our Board of Directors and volunteers across the Diocese in collaboration with our Development Director, Jerry Campbell. Our goal is to raise $5,000,000 over the next three years, and we will use those $5,000,000 in three ways. We will raise $2,500,000 for capital funds to be distributed in large grants to our partner agencies. We will raise $1,500,000 to expand and support the services of Episcopal Charities and the Technical Service Center in Oakland. We will raise $1,000,000 in endowment for grants to parish outreach efforts to help facilitate and grow those local efforts. I am pleased to announce this morning that we do have a 100% commitment of the Board of Directors to this Major Funds Drive, and that total is over $385,000. We also, as the Bishop mentioned earlier, have a lead gift from the Diocese of California of $500,000, and the Brotherton Fund of St. Luke's Hospital has also gifted us with a $1,000,000 grant that will go towards our partner agencies. Overall this campaign will undergird our ability to serve the servants of those in need by giving us the financial capacity to do our work effectively. The campaign will officially kick off this fall with our efforts focused on approaching major donors. We are not planning a parish campaign to raise these dollars. We will continue with our usual fall parish campaign to raise the money that supports the vital services of our partner agencies.

Our second initiative is to facilitate the compassionate outreach work of local congregations. We are accomplishing this through the work of our Program Director, Hank Nourse. Let me just give you a few examples of the work that Hank is doing. He is working with St. Augustine's in Oakland to revitalize the Learning Center there. He is working with St. Paul's in Oakland to help facilitate the development of the Oakland Interfaith Street Presence. He is working with Holy Family Church in Half Moon Bay to create afarm-workers program. And he is working with the Contra Costa Deanery to facilitate adeanery-wide collaboration to fund and build a house for Habitat for Humanity. It is not our intent to take over or to take credit- for these congregational efforts. It is simply our intent to help where asked and to serve the servants of those in need at the local level. In recent months it has become our privilege to serve as coordinator for the Department of Social Ministries. It is our hope that our coordinating role can strengthen the voice of the Diocese when it speaks out for justice and strengthen the hand of the Diocese when it reaches out in caring.

Finally, our third initiative is to coordinate charitable giving within the Diocese. We are examining ways to accomplish this fundamentally collaborative effort and are considering the following strategies:

• Joining with partner agencies to develop collaborative fundraising streams; • Becoming a clearinghouse for information on capital campaigns throughout the Diocese; • Becoming an effective and convenient means of linking donors and volunteers with programs delivering critical services; and • Maximizing the impact of Episcopal contributions.

In this regard we are examining the possibility of adopting the role of a community foundation that would help justice-minded donors fulfill their philanthropic goals. In conjunction with a sound investment strategy, Episcopal Charities would provide research and objectivity with an intimate donor interface, designed to connect donors to the needs that they so much care about.

12 DioCal 004111 Well, my time with you this morning_ is running out. But I would like to tell you this and-leave you with this thought. It is time for this to happen. For the last twenty-five years Episcopal Charities has been growing to this moment. I know. I spent time this summer reading the Board Minutes from the last twenty-five years, and it is a story of raising money, raising awareness, and raising our ambitions to meet our potential to do more. Our evolution began in l 998, and as we began the research that ended in the creation of the Episcopal Charities Service Center and now includes the expansion of services to our local congregations, we have been growing to this moment, and we now relish the challenge to prove what we can do. In the Bible it is written, "To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven." It is Episcopal Charities' season. It is Episcopal Charities' moment, and we enthusiastically embrace the challenges of our expanded mission and of Jubilate Deo. It is Jubilate Deo time. It is Episcopal Charities' time. And I thank you for your time this morning.

Bishop Swing asked the delegates to refer to the organizational structure of the. Department of Jubilate Deo (Appendix A) and notice that Episcopal Charities has an Executive Director, staff, and board, and reports to the Diocesan Council. He asked Sally Coates to stand beside him so that he could ask questions and she could answer.

How many agencies do we have? Thirteen.

Irz terms of congregational and Diocesan social ministries, how is that different notiv than five years ago? I don't believe five years ago there were congregational ministries in the way that we are doing them today, in terms of the work that Hank Nourse is doing to facilitate work at the local level. And needless to say, we have only been part of the Department of Social Ministries for six or seven months now.

How about a fee for service? Can you say where that is located and are we actually making money? Courtney Ruby, the only one of the four that has not been mentioned this morning, is in the back of the room, and she is the Director of our Service Center in Oakland. It is in Oakland; we currently have seven clients, all homeless social service agencies in Alameda County. We are currently expanding those services and actually have been meeting with new clients over the course of the last week to extend the accounting/bookkeeping work that we do to include the governance, development, and programmatic work. That is growing. We are taking on new clients, and yes, we are breaking even.

If one ofour congregations wanted help from the folks in Oakland, could they call them up and would it cost them? Our ability to break even relies upon our ability to get grants to fund the difference for what it costs to have our bookkeepers work with fee for service. That difference — that foundation funding we are looking for —would allow us to do work for the congregations for free. Currently, Jerry Campbell, the Development Director, has worked with Incarnation and St. Luke's in San Francisco to read over development grants that they have written to help reword them to make them stronger for submission. That kind of work we are available to do. All the work that Hank is doing at the parish level is within the auspices of the Service Center.

13 DioCal 004112 By the year 2005 tivhen the Jubilate Deo is over, is it going to look any different than it does right

now? Absolutely,it's going to lookdifferent! This summer Hank, Jerry, and I are getting out into the Bay Area, visiting with a little over thirty of our congregations, meeting with rectors and outreach workers, and with the network we're building of Episcopal Charities' reps, and local parishes, we're starting to see where the movement is and where people want to work. With the addition of the Department of Social Ministries, we're seeing more pockets of work. By the time this campaign is over and we've raised our $5,000,000, we will have the money to be able, as you said this morning, to connect all those dots. We're seeing where the passion is, and we're able to start putting it all together. We are only just seeing the constellations now, and by 2005, we will be funded and will be able to connect all those dots and actually recognize the constellations for what they are.

The Rev. Dr. Katherine Ward clarified that the Learning Center, which is located at St. Augustine's in Oakland, is operated by a coalition including St. John's, Montclair, St. Clements, Berkeley, and (for the spring program) All Souls', Berkeley.

Committee. of Congregational Development

The Bishop said that this is new ground that has not been covered. We have worked for 3-4 years to get to this point. In order to move forward we need to put together a team of people. We need to bring 49 people into Jubilate Deo, and we need to hire about five people.

Congregational Enrichment

The Bishop cited the need for better communication among congregations in our Diocese and nationally to learn from other dioceses what is working in other congregations. He proposed a staff position in the Diocese whose sole function would be to work in enrichment of congregations and pull together all the resources that are available to benefit each congregation, rather than congregations continuing to work independently of each other, not knowing what the others are doing. The Diocese will hire one new person to work on Congregational Enrichment with both missions and parishes. We need to keep the ethnic and multicultural component in the forefront.

New Church Starts

The Bishop said that Diocese of California does not have a strategy for how to start a new church. In the last forty years we have only started two new churches, one of which no longer exists after ten years of hard work. The Bishop proposed developing a strategy for new church starts during the three years of Jubilate Deo. Issues are the cost of land, the cost of building, which congregation gets first priority, or whether to build one large church in a central location to serve many small congregations. He emphasized that the next three years must be focused on designing a strategy for starting new churches, and after 2005 we will address the issue of raising money.

14 DioCal 004113 Creative Ministry Fund

The Bishop discussed the creation. of a Creative Ministry Fund that would be available at the local level to start new ministries. He proposed the formation of a committee that would receive proposals from local churches. Funds would be available for the next three years.

At this point Bishop Swing opened up the microphone to anyone who had a question or comment about Congregational Enrichment, New Church Starts, or the Creative Ministry Fund. The Rev. Michael Carney; St. George's, Antioch, commented that he would like to see us commit ourselves to double or triple the amount in the Creative Ministry Fund in the coming year because he feels that it would have a significant impact on parish ministries to have challenge grants for new ideas. Bishop Swing replied that there would be savings in some areas of the budget and larger allocations in others.

Ministry Development

The Bishop said that the Commission on Ministry is mandated to work on ordained and lay ministry. Because there are anywhere from 30 to 66 people in the ordination process, there is no time available to work with the lay ministry. No one has been working on lay ministry at the Diocesan level. Since the Diocese was unable to continue funding the Lay Academy, there has been no program for the training of lay leadership. He proposed renaming the Commission on Ministry what it really is: the Commission on Ordained Ministries. He proposed the creation of a Commission on the Ministry of the Baptized and a new staff position to encourage, educate, mentor lay training, working with the Department of Education, the Youth Academy, and the Center for Faith Development.

Ethnic Ministry

Bishop Swing proposed the creation of a half-time position to promote Ethnic Ministries on all levels in the Diocese.

Contemporary Models for Ordination

Bishop Swing proposed an alternative ordination path for those who do not fit the traditional mold.. He announced the creation of a half-time position to serve as a bridge in - all the specialized situations and to be a walking seminary for about ten people as an experiment that would last for three years. In 2005 the program will be evaluated.

Clergy Housing

Bishop Swing discussed the problem of affordable clergy housing. He proposed the creation of a committee to develop a Diocesan policy for housing and to strategize the formation of an Episcopal Housing Foundation. He described the concept of the Diocese owning twenty houses that could be sold and bought as needed to meet clergy housing needs. He acknowledged with gratitude three people who have already offered to give the Diocese their houses.

15 DioCal 004114 Wendy Mosely, St. Mary the Virgin, San Francisco, asked how ahalf--time staff member could "hold our feet to the fre all the time" in Ethnic Ministries. The Bishop responded that one person might be hired for both the Ethnic Ministries and Contemporary Models for Ordination positions and would be involved in many communities.

The Rev. Stacy Williams Duncan, St. James', Fremont, commented that the Department of Youth and Young Adults was not listed along with the Youth Academy.. The Bishop said that it was an oversight and would be corrected.

The Rev. Jennifer Hornbeck, Transfiguration, San Mateo, asked that Associates be included for participation in the. Clergy Housing Fund. The Bishop said that developing the strategy for clergy housing would probably take three years but that her comment would not be neglected.

Martha Jo Chalmers, St. Gregory of Nyssa, San Francisco, asked that Ministry to the Disabled be added to the Jubilate Deo visiori to include those who are hearing impaired, vision impaired, and mobility impaired and that accessibility for them be incorporated in building new churches.

Special Initiatives

High Schools

The Bishop mentioned that there are two high schools: Foster City and San Francisco. Canon Malcolm Manson is the headmaster of the high school in San Francisco, which is searching for a site. He explained that the school in Foster City has a site and a headmaster, However, the City of Foster City requires that we build permanent structures before we can bring in temporary classrooms. He emphasized that this is a challenging situation.

Elimination of Seminarians' Debt

The Bishop announced that monies have begun to be distributed to alleviate seminarians' debts.

Pacifica Center for Solitude

The Bishop reported that the Pacifica Center for Solitude is moving along and that environmental impact work has been done.

Surprises

The Bishop said that in three years there will be some surprises and he cannot predict what they will be.

16 DioCal 004115 2003 Financial Report James C. Wall

The Bishop said that part of the reason for establishing a Department of Jubilate Deo is to keep track of every component of the finances of Jubilate Deo.

Mr. Wall explained that one-time events could be funded from unrestricted endowment funds totaling more than $4 million, at the discretion of the Bishop and the Board of Directors. He announced that the Board agreed to transfer to Jubilate Deo $1.75 million and that they asked the Board for an additional $150,000 for the second year and the third year to help hire staff for the Jubilate Deo initiatives. He said, "We believe that these initiatives will gain momentum and will start to support themselves. We have structured and approved a way to get through the first three years without having to ask the parishes for additional support."

RESOLUTION ON THE BISHOP'S ADDRESS

The Bishop asked that the Convention vote on the Resolution on the Bishop's Address at this time since it had just been discussed. The change in the agenda was MSC.

Launching Jubilate Deo

Resolved, That this 153`d Diocesan Convention affirm the Visions of Mission and Ministry .adopted by the Special Jubilate Deo Convention last May 4, for athree-year period beginning October 2002 and concluding October 2005; and be it further

Resolved, That Diocesan Council create a Department of Jubilate Deo for this three-year periods.

Endorsement of Directors' Action

Resolved, That this 153`d Diocesan Convention endorse the transfer of $1.5 million of non- restricted assets to the Jubilate Deo Initiative, and offer thanksgiving on behalf of the Diocese for the leadership of the Diocesan Corporation's Board of Directors.

Andrea Baker, St. Ambrose, Foster City, offered a friendly amendment to change $1.5 milliori to $1.75 million. MSC.

The resolution was MSC.

THE 2002 WASSER AWARD Warren Wong and Richard Schaper

Margaret Wasser was a philanthropist who had a coin laundry in the Castro. When she passed away she turned it into a stream of income within the endowment of the Diocese which every year sends funds to Episcopal Charities, to a number of ministries in the Diocese, as well as Gift

17 DioCal 004116 Planning. This annual award goes to the congregation in the Diocese that has made the greatest progress in the past year in the Gift Planning Program —seeking bequests and other planned gifts to support the work of the parish and other ministries. We present this award to a parish in our Diocese that has in the past year established a Gift Planning Committee, has adopted endowment fund policies, has opened an endowment investment account, has created a gift planning parish brochure and mailed it to all the members of the parish, and has sponsored a Wills Writing Workshop; the program has already resulted in gifts.

Richard Schaper presented the 2002 Wasser Award to St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, Danville. The Rev. Steven Strane accepted the award on behalf of the lay people of St. Timothy's who worked so hard on gift planning.

NOONDAY PRAYERS

LUNCH

THIRD REPORT OF THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck announced that, having just completed a hearing on the resolutions, the Resolutions Committee would like to submit the following resolutions:

RESOLUTION #l: Against Stigmatization and Spiritual Abuse of the Mentally Ill and Persons with Neurological Disorders

The Rev. Chet Watson, a sponsor of the resolution, appealed to the Convention to vote for Resolution #1, which affects twenty percent of our population.

Bishop Swing discussed the use of the rite of exorcism and expressed the strong desire that no bishop authorise the use of the rite of exorcism until careful and thorough psychiatric, medical assessment, and spiritual discernment had been done.

After discussion concerning appropriate language, the term "Neurological Disorders" was added along with the term "Mental Illness" to include epilepsy, autism, Tourette's Syndrome, and other neurological disorders. It was agreed to change the title of the resolution to "Against Stigmatization and Spiritual Abuse of the Mentally Ill and Persons with Neurological Disorders."

Mr. Renton read Resolution #1 as amended.

18 DioCal 004117 Against Stigmatization and Spiritual Abuse of the Mentally Ill and -Persons with Neurological Disorders

Resolved, That the 153rd Convention of the Diocese of California submit the following resolution, together with the appended Explanation, to the 74`h General Convention of the Episcopal Church:

Resolved, the House of concurring, That the 74`h General Convention Convention urge the Church to work actively to overcome the stigmatization and mistreatment of the mentally ill and persons with neurological disorders; and be it further

Resolved, That the Church condemn all forms of spiritual abuse and neglect of the mentally ill and those with neurological disorders, and that it exercise extreme caution in the use of exorcism; and be it further

Resolved, That the Church express its desire to bishops that no rite of exorcism* be authorized until careful and thorough psychiatric and medical assessment and spiritual discernment by ministers competent in this specialized ministry of spiritual healing has taken place, all pertinent consents obtained, and appropriate long-term_ pastoral and psychological follow-up is made available.

*The Book of Occasional Services, Third Edition, Church Pension Fund/Church Hymnal Corporation: New York, 1994.

"Concerning exorcism: The practice of expelling spirits by means of prayer and set formulas derives its authority from the Lord himself, who identified these acts as signs of his messiahship. Very early in-the life of the church, the development and exercise of such rites were reserved to the bishop, at whose discretion they might be delegated to select presbyters and others deemed competent. In

accordance with this established tradition, those who find themselves inneed of such a ministry should make the fact known to the bishop, through their parish priest, in order that the bishop may determine whether exorcism is needed, who is to perform the rite, and what prayers and formularies are to be used."

Explanation:

Over the centuries, the seriously mentally ill have suffered from stigmatization, discrimination, and abuse of all kinds due to fear, spiritual and psychological ignorance, and scapegoating. As stated in the 2001 U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health, "...despite unprecedented knowledge gained in just the past three decades about the brain and human behavior, mental health is often an afterthought, and illnesses of the mind remain shrouded in fear and misunderstanding."

We believe that the Church has contributed to that stigmatization by focusing its prayers for deliverance, including the rite of exorcism; predominantly upon the seriously and persistently mentally ill, and by its failure to respect and utilize all available and appropriate means for

19 DioCal 004118 healing. We urge passage of this resolution to help strengthen and inform the Church's spiritual care for the mentally ill and for persons with neurological disorders, and to help prevent abuses of such deliverance ministry in the future.

MSC as amended.

RESOLUTION #2: Ending the Cycle of Violence

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck moved a substitute resolution on behalf of the Resolutions Committee.

George Edsel, St. Matthew's, San Mateo, quoted the Balfour Declaration, which said that the British government supported a homeland for the Jewish people, provided that the rights of the indigenous people were not infringed. He concluded, "Unless the cycle of violence is stopped effectively —and the only country that can do it is this country —it's going to be an ulcer which will drain us, and it will drain the peace of the world until it's settled."

Final text of Resolution #2:

Resolved, That the 153rd Convention of the Diocese of California submit the following Resolution, together with the appended Explanation, to the 74`" General Convention of the Episcopal Church:

Resolved, the House of concurring, That the 74`" General Convention strongly encourage the nation of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to work together resolutely to bring their disputes to a close, suspend all acts of violence, and strive to live in peace; and be it further

Resolved, That the Presiding Bishop be urged to lead the dialogue among the Anglican Communion to support peace initiatives that provide the following: recognition of both Israel and Palestine as independent nation states; economic opportunity for the emerging state of Palestine; the restoration of human rights and dignity of all residents of the Middle East; and investigation and elimination of human dignity abuses; and be it further

Resoh~ed, That we call upon local dioceses to create and foster dialogues within their communities, especially among Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other faiths to foster, support, and understand the need to .resolve these conflicts.

Explanation:

The loss of life in both Israel and Palestine has been eno~~~ious, and the death tolls continue to rise. All people of all faiths have a moral responsibility to take a stand against such extreme violence on both sides of this conflict. We are also responsible for modeling ways in which people of different faiths can converse and come to compromise without using violence. We

20 DioCal 004119 would like to see the ECUSA take as active a role as possible in supporting peace between Israel and Palestine, as well as work for interfaith harmony in our own communities.

After discussion, Resolution #2 was MSC.

RESOLUTION #3: Evangelism to the New Majority

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck moved that Resolution #3 be adopted with corrections.

Friendly amendments were made to add "disability" to the second paragraph, last line, and to add "and after careful listening to and conscious accompaniment of these communities, and prayerful self-examination ..." to the third paragraph, second line.

The Rev. Joseph Lane, sponsor of Resolution #3, said that the use of the language of 20/20 was very intentional because that is the language that will be used at General Convention. It was moved, seconded, but not carried to change the title to "Inclusive Evangelism."

Resolution #3 was MSC.

Final text of Resolution #3:

Resolved, That the 153rd Convention of the Diocese of California submit the following resolution, together with the appended Explanation, to the 74th General Convention of the Episcopal Church:

Resolved,, the House of concurring, That in implementing the 20f20 goal of focusing the Episcopal Church on mission; this church reach out to groups not traditionally within the scope of evangelism efforts, including those previously not .affiliated with organized religion and those disaffected from their previous religious affiliations, particularly but not limited to those who identify themselves as part of the "new majority" characterized by diversity of race, ethnicity, language; disability, and sexual orientation; and be it further

Resolved, That the Office of Congregational Development, in consultation with dioceses and the Standing Commission on Domestic Mission and Evangelism, and after careful listening to and conscious accompaniment of these communities, and prayerful self- examination, prepare specific plans for mission and evangelism, including but not limited to the communities listed above, which shall be presented to Executive Council no later than the fall of 2004.

Explanation:

This resolution is offered in the spirit of Jubilee and in keeping with the goals of the 20/20 initiative of the Episcopal Church. Its passage will offer a sign that this church strives for justice

21 DioCal 004120 and endeavors to ensure that its membership will reflect the diversity present in our pluralistic society.

RESOLUTION #4: Use of the National Cathedral

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck moved that Substitute Resolution #4 be placed before the Convention:

Resolved, That the 153~d Convention of the Diocese of California submit. the following Resolution, together with the appended Explanation, to the 74`h General Convention of the Episcopal Church:

Resolved, the House of concurring, That the 74th General Convention commend Bishop Chane's independent voice, as Bishop of Washington, in national political discourse, and his declared determination of prophetically "mixing politics and religion" in the interests of continuing dynamic separation of Church and State, counting on the independent pulpit of our national Cathedral to call any and all national policies to the judgment of God; and be it further

Resolved, That General Convention offer support and encouragement to Bishop Chane and to the Presiding Bishop, both of whose seats are in the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, to continue to clarify the freedom and independence of the voice and pulpit of the National Cathedral, and that its designation and popular name of "National Cathedral" not compromise its steady prophetic voice and ability to challenge or question the public policy of any elected leader or party, nor ever imply that a political party or elected ruler _may claim the Cathedral's symbolic authority to create the appearance of divine sanction on fallible human policy.

A friendly amendment was made that the resolution read "elected official" instead of "elected ruler."

The Rev. Donald Schell, St. Gregory of Nyssa, explained the background and concerns that produced the resolution.

"The Very Rev. Alan Jones, Grace Cathedral, said that he is sympathetic to the amendment but warned about the dangers. He would not want to erode the role of the National Cathedral. He would not want to do anything to discourage the President of the United States from speaking at the National Cathedral. Having the President speak from the National Cathedral gives the Church an opportunity to be prophetic and to confront him.

Friendly amendments were made to change the terminology in the third paragraph from "elected leaders" to "political leaders" and to change the first line of the Explanation to read, "The Founders of our Nation asserted ...."

22 DioCal 004121 Of 254 votes cast, those in favor of Resolution #4 as amended: 123; opposed: 131. Resolution #4 was not carried.

REPORT ON THE FIRST BALLOT

Dennis Delman reported that Jeanette Richards was elected to the Ecclesiastical Court on the first ballot. The results of the first ballot for Standing Committee were as follows:

Clergy Ballot Lay Ballot

Standing Committee Clergy candidates Total ballots 116 191 Needed to elect 57 96 The Rev. Jack Eastwood 38 68 The Rev. Nancy Eswein 42 47 The Rev. Anna Lange-Soto 32 58 The Rev. Robert Ross 2 18

A second ballot for the Standing Committee was required. The delegates were instructed to vote for only one person on the second ballot.

RESOLUTION #5: Resolution on War with Iraq

The Rev. Barbara Bender-Breck presented the resolution with an amended title, "Resolution

Opposing Unilateral War with Iraq", and the addition of asecond Resolve:

Be it further Resolved, That the Commission on Peace and Justice be authorized to publicize and speak out on the Convention's stand on this resolution.

Gary Lindsay, St. Mark's, Berkeley, author of the amendment, said that the resolution in its original form does not call on us to do anything.

There was discussion on rewording the resolution.

Dennis Butler, Grace Cathedral, said that he is for multilateralism whenever possible, but that it is sometimes appropriate to take unilateral action as a last resort. Now that we are in an era of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, it may be necessary to take preemptive military action to preserve hundreds of thousands of lives. He also said we owe a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices being madern our names by our troops in the field. He agreed to draft an amendment.

The Bishop said that the Convention would conduct other business and would return to the discussion of Resolution #5 when the amendment was available.

23 DioCal 004122 REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT The Rev. Sally Bingham

I would like to thank the Bishop and Michael for letting me have these few minutes to speak to the whole Diocese.

I did not think that this is the time to have a discussion on the worth and effectiveness of resolutions — and I don't want to take my three minutes to do that — but I wonder when we pass these resolutions and have discussion about them what it really means to us and how we implement them. And that's what I want to talk about.

In 1993, the 144th Convention of the Diocese of California passed a resolution to attend to environmental.stewardship. I have copies of that resolution on our table. In 1998 we passed another resolution which was to further and deepen our commitment to environmental stewardship with a specific issue, which was global warming. We agreed and passed a resolution that would require parishes and parishioners to practice energy efficiency, conservation, and to buy renewable energy wherever they could.

Global warming is not just about the environment. It is one of the most serious issues facing this generation, and unless we address it, we are going to see unprecedented suffering. It is about the loss of entire cultures, and it's about the health of the most vulnerable, the elderly and the poor. Our national security is threatened by our unhealthy dependency on imported oil from unstable

parts of the world. The faith community must take a leadership role intransitioning to clean energy.

The Commission on the Environment has asked this Diocese to participate in solutions to the

problem, and you allagreed to do that. Now we're asking you to take these already passed resolutions and do something about them. Many of you have, and I congratulate and applaud the clergy who signed the letter to Governor Davis that was printed in the Sacramento Bee in June of this year. We published this letter two days before the vote in the Assembly to curtail COZ emissions from automobiles in California. Bill 1493 passed by one vote, and the difference was made by the help of our Episcopal clergy. The clergy in this Diocese are helping to lead this movement. We have started California Interfaith Power and Light, which is an outgrowth of the Episcopal Power and Light Program. Becoming a member costs nothing. It only requires a commitment to the cause and an agreement to become conscious of energy use. Every one of

our missions and parishes should be a member. I hope that you will allsign the covenant that I have at our table and help us to stay in this leadership role. Clergy can sign these covenants right on the spot; and lay people can take them back to their religious leaders, if they don't happen to be here.

Issues concerning Creation are central to Christology and to our Christian faith. They are no more or no less important than love, peace, and justice. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, not one thing came into being that didn't come through the Word." God will reconcile all living things, not just humans.

24 DioCal 004123 We have a moral responsibility. to be good stewards of Creation. Praying for ahealthy planet, praying for clean air, clean water is good, but it isn't good enough. We have to put our faith into action. Every remodeled building; every new building with Episcopal in its title is expected to be sustainable and serve as a model for the community.

I have a declaration on our table that was written by eighty delegates from around the world in the Anglican Communion who came together in Johannesburg this summer. We, the Episcopal Diocese of California, are involved in a sustainable world. So I want to thank those of you who already are participating,. and then I'm calling on those of you who have not yet joined to become, if not involved, at least aware of these issues..We have curricula, we have liturgy, and we have sample sermons all ready and available just to ask for. Everybody on our Commission would appreciate your interest in this.

If people of faith don't protect Creation, who will? Thank you.

CHURCH DIVINITY SCHOOL OF THE PACIFIC Lyn Morlan

Greetings from the staff and the faculty and the students at CDSP. I am a third-year student in the Master of Divinity program. There are a lot of people who already know about CDSP and also the Center for Learning, which is also known as CALL.

Our formal education at CDSP teaches us the Anglican tripod of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. However, some of our most important teachers are sitting in front of me. We learn how to be pastors from our field education sites, It is you, the clergy and the lay committee members, who allow.us to take our lessons learned in the classroom and refine them by experiences in your parish. The curriculum at CDSP doesn't have room to allow us to learn all the practical skills of being a parish priest or chaplain. Field education and the mentoring that happens for us, the students, help fill that gap.

CDSP is growing. We have more students. We have more staff. And you know what happens when there's growth, there's expansion. The CDSP Board has recently approved plans for a building program. The next time you're on campus I invite you to take a look at the new,plans. There will be a new chapel and also some major renovations to a couple of the buildings so that CALL will have a new space. We thank you for your support of the seminary, and we appreciate your continued support in the future.

RESOLUTION #S

Mr. Butler moved to substitute the following resolution for the resolution on the floor, Resolution Opposing Unilateral Velar with Iraq;

25 DioCal 004124 Resolution Urging Restraint on Unilateral Action Against Iraq

Resolved, That the 153rd Convention of the Diocese of California be in solidarity with the Editorial Statement submitted by Grace Cathedral under the signatures of the Right Reverend William E. Swing, Bishop of California, and the Very Reverend Alan Jones, Dean of Grace .Cathedral, and the Cathedral Chapter; and be it further

Resolved, That we pray that the United States will continue to see itself as a member of the family of nations and will demonstrate its care for and accountability to that family; and be it further

Resolved, That military intervention in Iraq may become necessary; however, the United States should exert every effort to use the United Nations as a forum for the peaceful and multilateral resolution of all crises and should use unilateral force only as a last resort; and be it further

Resolved, That in this era of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction preemptive military action may be necessary to avoid the deaths of large numbers of civilians; such action should be taken only when irrefutable evidence exists of imminent hostile actions and should be limited to the elimination of the threat; and be it further

Resolved, That we individually and collectively owe a debt of gratitude to the officers, men and women of the United States military, many of whom are serving far from home and without the

usual comforts of civilization, and wepray for their continual safety, well-being and swift return home; and be it further

Resolved, That the Commission on Peace and Justice be directed to speak out and publicize the Convention's stand on this resolution. (Accepted as an amendment from David Frangquist, St. Aidan's, San Francisco.)

The Rev. Jeremy Blodgett, Redeemer, San Rafael, said that the substitute resolution was completely opposite the original.

The Rev, Dr. Katherine Ward, St. Augustine's, Oakland, said that it was unfair to substitute this resolution when people do not have it in their hands and have not had a chance to see it.

Jim Robertson, St. Mark's, Palo Alto, said that the language of the substitute resolution of supporting the troops in the field is different from supporting the policies that they are carrying out and encouraged a vote on the substitute resolution.

Len Johnson, St. Mark's, Berkeley, pointed out that there is a contradiction with the first Resolve, which says that we are in solidarity with the statement of the Bishop and Dean, which says that a preemptive strike is never good.

The substitute resolution was voted down by voice vote.

Resolution #5 as amended was MSC by voice vote.

26 DioCal 004125 Final text of Resolution #5:

Opposing Unilateral War with Iraq

Resolved, That the 153rd Convention of the Diocese of California be in solidarity with the Editorial Statement submitted by Grace Cathedral under the signatures of the Right Reverend William E. Swing, Bishop of California, and the Very Reverend Alan Jones, Dean of Grace Cathedral, and the Cathedral Chapter, the following being extracts from the Statement:

(1) That "we pray that the United States will continue to see itself as a member of the family of nations, and demonstrate its care for and accountability to that family";

(2) That "intervention in Iraq may become necessary, but not without [the approval ofJ the United Nations, not without factoring in the possibility of unintended consequences, and not without further countries, lest the divide of hatred grow larger";

(3) That "initiating war against a sovereign country where no triggering event warrants such action establishes a precedent that could invite chaos among nations in the future. A preemptive strike that initiates a war is not in keeping with the history of our country; nor

is it even inconformity with a religious understanding of a 'just' war. To go to war now would require nothing less than the consensus of the world's nations"; and be it further

Resolved, That the Commission on Peace, Justice and Hunger be directed to speak out and publicize the Convention's stand on this resolution.

REPORT ON THE SECOND BALLOT

Mr. Delman announced the results of the second ballot for the Standing Committee:

Elected to the four-year term: the Rev. Jack Eastwood Elected to the two-year term: the Rev. Anna Lange-Soto

COMMITTEE ON CANONS Phillip S. Boone, Jr., Esq.

Mr. Boone said that two prospective changes to Section 18.02 of the Diocesan Canons have been reviewed by the Committee.on Canons. They are before the Convention to be approved or not as they appear in the Convention booklet. If they are to be further amended, they will have to be reviewed by the Committee on Canons before they can be adopted. He read a correction to the wording of proposed new Canon 18.02(b) (3).

The Rev. Matthew McDermott, St. Mark's, Palo Alto, urged support of the proposed new Canon 18.02 (b) (3), which would support the efforts of congregations to add new program staff by

27 DioCal 004126 temporarily removing the income for new program staff from the calculation for Diocesan assessment.

The proposed canon changes were MSC.

Following is the text of the new Canons:

Canon 18.02(b) (3):

(3) In the event that a parish, or an organized mission (with the approval of the Department of Missions and the Bishop) creates a new full or part-time position which has a scope of responsibilities solely devoted to the professional, programmatic life of said parish or mission (as opposed to clerical, janitorial, or non-programmatic responsibilities), the calculation of income of said parish or mission for purposes of the Diocesan assessment shall not include the total compensation plus related employee benefits for said employee in the first two years of his or her employment, 50% of said cost in the third year and 25% of the cost in the fourth year. This subsection shall not apply to the Cathedral and shall be limited to the equivalent of one full-time employee per congregation.

Canon 18.02 (e):

(e) Any proposed amendment to the Canons concerning support of the Diocesan Operating Fund or the methodology for Diocesan assessments shall be submitted to the Department of Finance on or before the first day of April. The Department of Finance shall consider the potential effect of the proposed amendment on the Diocesan Operating Fund and operations of the Diocese and report its conclusions to the Diocesan Convention prior to any vote on the proposed amendment.

REPORT OF THE DIOCESAN TREASURER .lames C. Wall

I am pleased to report that 2001 continued to be a positive year for us financially. We ended the year with a surplus of $156,000. That result was achieved by steady expense control and frankly the latter part of the economic boom of the 1990'x. In spite of the recent downturn in the overall economy, we have budgeted a surplus of $35,000 in 2002, and we expect to come close to that goal. We are presenting a conservative break-even budget for 2003. We received the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 for both the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of California and the Corporation Sole. Funds and operations of both are audited annually, and the audits indicate satisfactory management. We engaged a new independent audit firm, Burr, Pilger &Mayer, which has a substantial practice in the not-for-profit universe. They have made numerous suggestions which will assist us in continuing to improve our financial record-keeping and reporting. Our total endowment funds as of December 31, 2001 were $20,586,315. Although there has been some market decline in the equity portion of the portfolio

28 DioCal 004127 since that date we believe the endowment continues to be conservatively managed, and represents slightly better than overall market performance.

The Corporation Sole maintains a master line-of-credit at Union Bank of California for the short- term use of congregations and institutions that meet certain criteria. The line is currently being used by seventeen separate entities, with three more approved by the Finance Committee.

REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL PRACTICES COMMITTEE The Rev. Stacey Grossman

The Rev. Stacey Grossman reported that the Personnel Practices Committee has struggled each year for at least the last five years to find a way to reduce health premium costs, either by cutting benefits or raising deductibles, or both. This year the premium renewals averaged an increase of 19% for the medical plans, The National Church is in the process of exploring a nationwide benefits program, but it is only in preliminary stages. She announced the addition of a Blue Shield PPO to our medical plans, which will allow participants to select their own doctors. The Committee is discussing cost-sharing, in which employees would be asked to share in the cost of their own medical coverage.

The Committee continues to monitor and encourage congregations to come into compliance with the new Minimum Compensation Guidelines, which were adopted in 1999 and will become mandatory in January 2005. The Committee has undertaken ongoing analysis of salary levels to assure parity among the minimum salary •levels at each congregational. size. This work is being done and communicated to the Diocese over the coming year.

The Rev. Stacey Grossman moved the adoption of the Proposed Salary Resolution on page 14 of the Convention booklet, which reflects acost-of-living adjustment of 1.2% for minimum annual compensation guidelines, based on the Consumer Price Index for the Bay Area as of June 30, 2002. MSC.

The Rev, Robert Reynolds, St. Paul's, Walnut Creek, moved that the Personnel Practices Committee provide to all congregations and clergy by November 1, 2002 an update of the Clergy Compensation Guidelines as adopted by the 149`" Diocesan Convention, reflecting the changes in the cost-of-living experienced since 1999, as required in the guidelines; and in succeeding years that the Clergy Compensation Guidelines be updated by August 1 and transmitted to the congregations.

Jim Forsyth said he believes the Compensation Schedule is in the Administrators' Manual and has been published in accordance with the guidelines. The Rev._ Canon Michael Hansen asked the Personnel Practices Committee to discuss a way to distribute the information in a timely way. Motion withdrawn.

29 DioCal 004128 PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

The Bishop announced that the Rev. Robert Bryant, Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, has been called to the Diocese of Oregon: Father Bryant thanked the whole Diocese and all the people he had worked with for the last 23 years, and the Bishop gave him a blessing.

STANDING COMMITTEE ELECTION OF OFFICERS

Mr. Delman announced the election of officers of the Standing Committee:

1~he Rev. Dr. Katherine Ward, President Leah Martinez-Kjellen, Vice President The Rev. Nedi Rivera, Secretary

REPORT OF THE DIVISION OF PROGRAM AND BUDGET James C. Wall '

Mr. Wall reported that the budget process was difficult this year because we started with a deficit. The Bishop moved- adoption of the 2003 Proposed Budget as presented in the Convention booklet. MSC.

Mr. Wall moved adoption of the proposed Assessment Formula for 2003:

5%assessment on the first $52,158 of a parish or mission's operating income for 2002 as defined on Line A of the 2002 parochial report; 20% assessment on all such income above $52,158, provided that No parish or mission shall have an increase over 2002's initial assessment before appeals of more than 50% or $15,000, whichever is less.

MSC.

COMMISSION ON MINISTRY

The Bishop announced his appointments to the Commission on Ministry:

Dr. Ron Johnson The Rev. Kate Salinaro The Rev. Lynn Johnson The Rev. Chad Smith

The Bishop thanked the delegates for giving this Saturday to their Church, offered a prayer, and adjourned the 153`d Convention of the Diocese of California.

30 DioCal 004129 APPENDIX A-1

JUBILATE DEO RESOL UTION

"Be Joyful in God"

Special Convention of the Diocese of California May 4, 2002

Whereas, in the year 2000, the 151st Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of California accepted the Bishop's "Call to Jubilee" and established a process that would develop a plan for Jubilee Mission and Strategies in the Diocese; and,

Whereas, "Jubilee" calls the Diocese of California to re-form itself for a mission in the new millennium and to equip ourselves to tell the story of the reconciling love of God in Christ in the dynamic and challenging cultural shifts of the Bay Area; and

Whereas, the "Jubilee" vision has begun its fulfillment in the affirmation given at the 2001 152nd Convention, enabling Episcopal Charities to expand its mission of serving the poor, the needy, and the neglected through funding and coordination of outreach efforts at every level of the Diocese; and

Whereas, the 152nd Convention called Bishop William Swing and the Diocesan Council to "present a Jubilee proposal for discussion and decision of our future by the 153rd Diocesan Convention," and that this Special Convention is duly called for this purpose; therefore, be it

Resolved, that in all the following areas of Mission the multi-cultural aspect of the Diocese of California be given priority and emphasis.

Resolved, that this Special Convention adopt the following Vision of Mission for the next three years from October 1, 2002 until October 1, 2005 and the Vision of Mission be given to the Bishop and the Diocesan Council and the Diocesan staff for full implementation.

1. Establish a Creative Ministry Fund to assist congregations in implementing ministries to respond to where they believe God is calling them to serve; and,

Grow new congregations by planting churches in new areas of the Diocese by adopting a strategy and selecting appropriate personnel to administer this work; and

3. Create a Diocesan structure with congregational development as its objective and provide the appropriate staffing; and be it further.

Resolved, that this Special Convention adopt .the following Vision of Ministry for the three years ending June 1, 2005:

DioCal 004130 APPENDIX A-2

1. Create a Ministry Development Department with appropriate staffing to assist and empower congregations in discerning, raising up, empowering, training and celebrating the ministries of all; and

2. Support the Youth Ministry Academy and the Center for Faith Formation with limited-time funding; and

3. Support the ordination and ministry development model initiated by the Latino Commission and thereby empowering Pan-Pacific and other groups to explore, adapt, and work with this model; and

4. Create a fund to assist congregations in providing housing for clergy.

Resolved, that this Special Convention affirm the fulfillment of the Episcopal Charities Vision:

1. Establish a $6 million Jubilee of Caring Capital Campaign that will support and strengthen current Member Agencies, assist struggling non-profits to become durable institutions, and nurture local congregational outreach initiatives.

2. Coordinate charitable giving within the Diocese by collaborative fund-raising with Member Agencies, being a clearinghouse of information on major financial campaigns in the Diocese, linking donors and volunteers with programs delivering critical services, and by distributing all charitable dollars given in the Diocese and leveraging contributions through grants and major gifts.

Resolved, that this Special Convention approves other specific initiatives that support Jubilate Deo or are enhanced by participation in Jubilate Deo, such as:

1. Assist in the founding of two Episcopal High Schools;

2. Provide debt relief to seminarians overseen by our Commission on Ministry;

3. Assist in the founding of the Pacifica Center for Solitude.

DioCal 004131 APPENDIX A-3

Jubilate Deo Time 2003 Financial Report

The budget for Jubilate Deo is comprised of three types of expenditures:

1. One time events 2. One to three year "kick off' investments 3. Funding for major projects over the next few years

Examples, in the order listed above are 1) Funding a professional study of possible solutions to the clergy housing dilemma in the Bay Area; 2) Staff salaries. and benefits to address needs as determined at the May Convention; and 3) Contributing to the construction and initial operation of two new high schools.

The Diocese is committed to addressing 1) and 2) without any additional funding support from congregations. These expenses and investments will be covered by transfersfrom unrestricted endowmentfunds that are availablefor such uses at the discretion ofthe Bishop and the Board of Directors. Major projects, and initiatives which achieve broad support and enthusiasm, will be funded from sources developed during the three year Jubilate Deo period.

• Following is a break out of specific fundings for 2002-2003 that initiate Jubilate Deo in the Diocese of California:

Seed Capital for Episcopal Charities' Campaign $ 500,000 Replenish Diocesan Working Capital (Note 1) 250,000 Staff Salaries and Benefits(Note 2) 200,000 Peninsula High School Seed Capital (Note 3) 200,000 Creative Ministries Matching Funds 100,000 Pacific Center for Solitude 100,000 Clergy Housing Study 50,000 Jubilate Deo Fundraising 50,000

Total $ 1,450,000

Note 1. Beginning with the 150t'' Anniversary celebration, our highly successful ad campaign, and various other Jubilate Deo initiatives, approximately $500,000 has been funded from Diocesan working capital

DioCal 004132 APPENDIX A-4 funds. The listed $250,000 will replenish part of those expenses, and the remaining $250,000 will be considered an "investment" in Jubilate Deo.

Note 2. A number of needs were identified during the past months, and discussed at the May Convention. Among the highest priorities are , Congregational Development, New Church Strategies, Lay Ministry Coordination, and Development of both Ethnic Ministries and Contemporary Models for Ordination. Staff required to fully develop and implement those initiatives will vary between two and four full time people, depending on availability of qualified candidates and the evolution of the various initiatives. The equivalent of two full time staff salaries plus benefits are included in the 2003 budget.

Note 3. Because the Peninsula school project required some initial expenditure, funds were advanced under the line of credit maintained by the Corp Sole at our bank. The amount listed here will repay that advance.

• Funding for Jubilate Deo Years Two and Three

Current estimates of ongoing requirements such as continued funding of Creative Ministries, staff as described, and additional funding for the high schools will result in a projected shortfall of approximately $1,000,000. However, there are unrestricted endowment funds in excess of that amount available to cover shortfalls,.if any., in Jubilate Deo fundraising. To reiterate, congregations will NOT be asked to contribute to any of the "seed money" for initiatives during the three Jubilate Deo years.

Our hope is that some initiatives will quickly achieve broad based support. When they do, individuals and groups, whether entire congregations or other combinations of interested parties, can decide to provide additional funding to carry these important programs into the future.

Respectfully submitted,

James C. Wall Treasurer

DioCal 004136 Grace Cathedral --Report to the Diocesan Convention -- October 2002

Last year I wrote that, from time to time, and more often than some of us would wish, we have to re-examine our mission. One of the reasons we have to keep returning to "our first love' is the speed of change in the world. We have been doing just that in developing a strategic plan and we are now in the midst of implementing. Things "after September 11~ 2001" now have new focus and urgency. I think of the "summit" about the education of homeless children held at the Cathedral by "Home Away from Homelessness" last November. I think of the Bishop being .honored by the International Diplomacy Council for his work in the United Religions Initiative: I think of Jane Goodall being honored_ at the United Nations just after she preached at the Cathedral.

2001/2002 has been a year for pilgrimages.. We continue to make annual pilgrimages to Chartres and Nicaragua. Gerry Shaon is our missionary Deacon in Managua and the cathedral is responsible for the administration of the school at Casa Ave Maria. We also support the school in salaries for teachers as well as scholarships for students. Mark Stanger and Kathy Kirkpatrick are leading a pilgrimage to Israel/Palestine, which will return to San Francisco by way of Rome and Assisi. (The pilgrims expect to be in Nazareth on the day of Diocesan Convention). We are deepening our relationship with South Africa by being the .fiscal agent for Fikelele, project of St. Michael and All Angels_ in Kayeletsha (a HIV~~,.: poor township just outside Cape Town). The Fikelele Project is for orphans of parents and also trains hospice workers. We supply funds for training workers at Fikelele and fund programs in apre-school in the township. Next month twelve ~'- pilgrims from St. George's Cathedral in.-Cape-~'own will be<~isiti~g,the cathedral and will be studying AIDS care as well as discussing with us what it means to be~,~; ~t. a cathedral in the 21St century. ~

During the past year we welcomed some new colleagues: Susan Matthews joined us in November as Assistant Organist. Whitney Roberson, Vanessa Glass, and John Allen were added to the clergy team this Summer and Fall. Whitney takes over the ministry to families; Vanessa takes on the. ministry to young adults; and John (among other things) is responsible for stewardship:

Three new ministries began this year. First, a Sunday night service -informal, meditative, and open. It is attracting a new congregation and we are excited about this venture. The new 20/30s ministry begun this Fall and we have_ about 220 people in that age range on our books. Nina Pickerell, our Cathedral Deacon, has developed a new program for seniors with atwice-monthly lunch and program, as well as an annual retreat and other forms of outreach.

DioCal 004137 We are pleased with the following achievements:

• A deeper relationship between chapter and board of trustees under the leadership of our chairman, Kermit Boston. • The imminent likelihood of outgrowing new nursery and Sunday school spaces (i.e., the Cathedral is perceived as being a good place for families with children). • The Forum at Grace Cathedral is a weekly talk show program that attracts hundreds of California Bay Area residents to Grace Cathedral each Sunday morning and hundreds of online listeners who tune in for the live audio Webcast at www.GraceCathedral.org. • Grace Cathedral's web site, www.GraceCathedral.org, is increasing its audio programming and gaining worldwide popularity online. More than 50,000 visitors come to the web site each month with 4,000 people per month listening to the Sunday Choral Eucharist online. Other audio programs, including The Daily Meditation, Choral Evensong, Sermons, and the live Webcast of The Forum are also popular among our online community. • GraceCom Media Ministry has taken over production of along-running local Bay Area TV program, LightWorks. The 30-minute program addresses matters of cultural and social concern in light of values, spirituality, and faith. LightWorks airs monthly on Sunday mornings. • The Grace Connection is a brand-new radio program that GraceCom is producing on KDIA-1640 AM. It airs Sunday mornings at 9:30AM. The theme is "thought provoking Christian radio" and features original content produced by GraceCom. • GraceCom's first documentary production, Rediscovering the Labyrinth: A Walking Meditation, debuted on KQED, Bay Area public television in April of 2002 and again in August of 2002. The documentary is also the recipient of three Aurora Awards and a Joey Award. • The GraceCom production of the Diocese of California television ad campaign, The Episcopal Church Welcomes You, is now being licensed to a number of dioceses around the country. The TV ad campaign was first aired in the Bay Area in April and May of 2000 and again during the Winter Olympics in February 2002. The ads have received recognition in excellence from the Telly Awards, The Aurora Awards, The Creative Summit Awards, and The Polly Bond Awards. The National Church has expressed interest in the campaign.

DioCal 004138 Our finances continue to stretch us and in spite of deep challenges we manage to be "healthy not wealthy." We are deterrnined to increase our endowment with an aggressive planned giving initiative. Without an adequate endowment, the Cathedral building will always be a drain on resources best used for ministry.

Alan Jones, dean

DioCal 004139 Report from Diocesan Council 2002

Council members for 2002 are: Howard Bolton, Gwen Saunders, The Rev. Jim Stickney - Alameda Deanery; A.C. Hollister, Peggy Greene,The. Rev. Valerie Valle -Contra Costa Deanery; David Clegg, Antoinette van Kriedt,.Rev. Jim Ward - Marin Deanery; Virginia Debs, Byron Rovegno, Rev. Joseph Lane -Peninsula Deanery.; David Frangquist, Anne Reisman, The Rev. Everett Powell -San Francisco Deanery; Jim DeMersman, Melissa Ridlon, The Rev. JoAnn Bennett -Southern Alameda Deanery. The Officers for 2002 are: Peggy Greene, President, Howard Bolton, Vice President, Melissa Ridlon, Corresponding Secretary. Mary Louise Gotthold continues as our very faithful and hardworking Corresponding Secretary.

Much of our activity this year has centered on Jubilate Deo, and indeed Jubilate Deo and Stewardship were the themes of the Council Retreat at Bishop's Ranch in February. The retreat was a time of fellowship and team building and one of the results was the development of a draft Stewardship Statement facilitated by Lauran Pifke. At subsequent meetings the statement was finalized and has been sent to the Standing Committee asking them to join with the Council in issuing the statement to the Diocese.

We received reports from the Department of Missions and Department of Education. The report from Education was also a time to say farewell The Rev. Sue Singer who has left the diocese to enter a doctoral program in Boston. Also heard from was the Commission on Assessment Appeals and action was taken on its' recommendations. In April the Proposed Budget for 2003 was approved and sent to the Deaneries for comment before being presented to Convention in October and adjustments to the 2002 budget were approved to accommodate the cost-of--living increases that can only be estimated in the budget presented to Convention in October.. We had an in depth meeting with the Office of Planned Giving in May and at the September meeting voted to make it a department of the Diocese. In May we also received a Report on the Province VIII Synod from the Rev. Jack Eastwood, the Rev. Fanco Kwan, Mary Louise Gotthold and Carol Jan Lee. In June we received the Deanery comments on the proposed 2003 budget and as appropriate changes were incorporated. July and August meetings were cancelled because of scheduling conflicts. The September meeting was elongated in order to fully prepare the members of the council for the October convention.

As stated earlier Jubilate Deo and the activities and planning arising out of it has been an important part of every meeting and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Episcopal Charities is a large part of this and they have been our guests three times in the year and we expect to invite the again. Coming up are reports from Pacific Church. News and the Department of Stewardship.

October l 3, 2002 Peggy Greene, President

DioCal 004140 Department of Stewardship Report to Convention October 14, 2002

Over the past year the Department of Stewardship worked on the following projects.

The Stewardship Academy This was a .day of workshops designed as a combination Leadership DaylPanic Session. It was held at St. Mark's, Berkeley and attended by 18 people, representing 8 congregations and members of The Department. We started the day with a worship service that focused on stewardship and followed with workshops on The Essentials of Stewardship, Money as Your Faith Journey, and The Scriptural Basis of Stewardship.

Clergy Workshops We continued our Clergy Stewardship Education Program with a day in January that focused on annual campaign issues, a 24-hour retreat at the Mercy Center in June focusing on preaching stewardship, and are planning a day in November to address stewardship with youth and young adults, as well as household issues regarding stewardship. This group currently consists of 21 clergy people and 3 department members.

Consulting Program There are currently 5 consultants who provide individual stewardship consulting (up to 20 hours/year, paid by the Diocese) to congregations requesting our help. So far this year we have provided assistance to 18 congregations.

Stewardship Curriculum for Lent We worked with The Department of Education to train lay people and clergy from 11 congregations to lead the Lenten Curriculum. Feedback from those congregations using the curriculum was very positive.

Stewardship Resource Center The Department maintains a resource center of books, articles, pamphlets and videotapes for use by congregations or individuals in the Diocese. .

Upcoming Projects We are working on hosting (with our neighboring Dioceses as co-hosts) the 2004 TENS (The Episcopal Network for Stewardship) conference in San Francisco. It will offer congregations in our Diocese an outstanding opportunity for stewardship development without the expense and inconvenience of travel. We are currently exploring cooperative projects with The Asian Commission and CDSP.

DioCal 004141 Report on Diocesan Deacons

The Ven. Dorothy K. Jones October 19,2002 Archdeacon for Deacons

Deacons in the Diocese of California continue to flourish in their ministries and their conunitment to .servant leadership, under the Bishop. At our annual meeting with the Bishop at St.Edmund's, Pacifica, 40 deacons were present to exchange ideas, share concerns and re-new their ordination vows. A Deacons Retreat at Mercy Center, with The Rev.Cn Michael Hansen as retreat leader was attended by about 20 participants. These two events, give the Deacons an opportunity to gather and share their ministries -and re-connect -with each other.

Since last convention we added 3 vocational Deacons and -will be ordaining 4 more to the vocational Diaconate in December.

There is now a Deacon serving on the Board of Episcopal Charities, a Deacon is on the Diocesan Council as deanery representative. Adeacon as co-chair of one of the commissions. A Deacon has been nominated for Standing Committee. Deacons are taking their place in the councils of the Church!! A deacon is now a missionary deacon in Nicaragua. A deacon is President of the North American Association for the Diaconate, which is not limited to North America but includes members of many countries where the Diaconate exists.

As Archdeacon, I have visited parishes where deacons are present and have been available to meet with and counsel deacons whenever there is a need. It has been my joy and privilege to be present and experience the various worship services in our Diocese.

At the national level, NAAD(North American Association for the Diaconate) is involved in drafting new canons on the ordination and formation of deacons. Kate Salinaro as diocesan alternate to General Convention and as President of

NAAD willbe among those present at General Convention this next year where this and other issues will be presented.

Deacons are here to stay and the Diocese of California is among many other diocese that support and lift up the diaconate.

DioCal 004142 ~School ~oR DEacons Annual deport--2001-2002 October 2,2002

Introduction This yeaz The School'For Deacons launches into its 22"~ year of operation of dedication solely to "the education and formation of Deacons in and for the Episcopal Church."(quoted from the schools mission statement). It is an institution of the Diocese of Califomia but includes a number of students from the Diocese of E] Camino Real and the Diocese of Northem Califomia. This past year there was a student from the Diocese of Los Angeles. Program The program is well established and tested. We continue to look for ways to strengthen, in particular, the parts of the curriculum that build skills for "interpreting to the church the needs, hopes, and concerns of the world." We continue to focus on the fact that we aze.preparing servant leaders and not just servants. The program continues to be demanding. We do our best to warn prospective students without scaring them away. This past year we have added a new course in Foundations in Social Ministry, There is now a social ministry curriculum with a course offered in each of the student's three years of study. Students For the 2002-2003 academic year we have 24 full-time students and 11 part time. Among those are three from the Diocese of California's Center for Faith Formation program (led by school factilty member, The Rev. Sue Thompson). Of the full time students, 74%are from the Diocese of California, 14%from the Diocese of EI Camino Real, and 14%from the Diocese of Northern California. Faculty We lost two key faculty members at the end of the school year, The Rev. Sue Singer and The Rev. Nedi Rivera. Stepping in to take their places are The Rev. Sue Thompson, The Rev. Mark Henderson, who also leads one of our spiritual formation groups, and The Rev. Judy Werner-Hall. Also new to the faculty is Judith Bishop, a doctoral student at the G.T.U. who is teaching the course in Christian Mythos (history + theology). Jan Robitscher has taken on a new role leading the Liturgy Practicum and organizing the new course in social. ministry, The school continues to benefit from the hard work of an exceptional faculty. Staff Rod Dugliss, is in his fourth year as dean. The school is well run by Administrator, Chris Butler. The Rev. Mary Louise Hintz, who is also the deacon at Holy Trinity in Richmond, works in the office part- time in anumber of key roles. Major Achievements A number of things were accomplished in 2001-2002. • we graduated a class of eight prospective deacons, all of who are or will soon be ordained • we experienced a great response for Inquirer's Day,thanks to the hard work of Mary Louise Hintz. • we admitted one of the largest and most diverse classes of incoming students in years • The Rev. Robert B. Moore retired as President of the board of trustees after six years. He saw the school through its move to the CDSP campus and the search for a new dean. His strong and enthusiastic leadership was a great gift to the school and to the diaconate •in partnership with CALL at CDSP and the Diocese of Eastern Oregon, we offered a very successful summer conference for deacons from all over the United States • the-board put on a Homecoming dinner and program for graduates and friends of the school that featured author and spiritual leader Tilden Edwazds as guest speaker • we continue to offer one of the best diaconal formation programs in the Episcopal Church, if not in the Anglican Communion. Day to day, we are doing our job well.

DioCal 004143 Major thallenges • We did not meet our annual fund goals for the past year, though we had sufficient reserves to not affect operation of the school 1n the coming year we will once again be challenged to meet the minimum goal of $]00,000 for the Annual Fund. The economy is bad and there is a lot of anxiety about where we are headed as a society and a nation. We look to congregations, especially those benefiting from the ministry of one or more deacons, to graduates, and to generous friends to meet our goal. Students and faculty also participate both generously and with nearly 100% participation. • Key to the stability and the continued growth of the program is a strong and enthusiastic board. We have yet to fill all positions on the school's board and are constantly challenged to find and invite folk whose passion for servant ministry is both infectious and able to sustain the school's vision and mission • We must continue active recruiting, especially in the Diocese of California. The new Jublilate Deo initiative will require the active ministry of many deacons in myriad roles in social ministry and enabling the ministry of all the Baptized. There are many deacons out there in the congregations of this diocese waiting to be discerned and called out. • We need to continue to be sure we teaching what 21"century deacons need [o know. • The board in increasingly concerned that we are not doing enough, or the right things, to meet the mission statement's call to "support deacons in their work" and "lift up diaconal ministry within the Chnrch."
