  • And Greetings from Our Bishop
    WELCOME AND GREETINGS FROM OUR BISHOP Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Welcome to the annual session of the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. We join together during these days as disciples of Jesus Christ and leaders in his mission. This year we will celebrate our calling to be “On Mission Together,” and our vision to cultivate courageous leadership, missional engagement and spirit-led innovation. Our conference will be marked by music and worship, study and prayer, debate and conferencing, fellowship and laughter, business and visioning. We will license, commission and ordain men and women for set apart leadership in the church. We will send clergy into congregational and extension leadership for the coming year. We will elect laity and clergy delegates to the 2020 General Conference. We will celebrate extraordinary faithfulness in response to natural disasters in our region, and we will process the outcomes of the recent Special Session of the 2019 General Conference. And we will return to our local churches, more aware of our connection as Florida United Methodists. Gathering at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, the Annual Conference will begin with the celebration of Holy Communion. Our keynote speakers will be extraordinary: Bishop Will Willimon of Duke Divinity School will be our conference preacher, and Dr. Dana Robert of Boston University will be our teacher. Dr. Gary Spencer will preach the memorial sermon and Dr. Cynthia Weems, dean of the cabinet, will give the cabinet’s report. Inspirational music will be led by Jarvis Wilson and Keith Wilson of Atlanta, Georgia. Our offerings will support the re-development of the Wesley Foundation at Florida A & M University, and the launch of a new church inside Lowell Women’s Prison in Reddick.

By E. Bowers HOLLYWOOD — On June 28, amidst a flurry of cuts and a switch to zero-based budgeting, the Tribal Council voted to approve the budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year, estimated at $203 million, which includes an increase in per capita distribution. With many of the Tribal Program Directors in attendance, Chairman James Billie stated matter-of-factly that “everyone is overpaid.” He remarked despite the enor- mous boost in revenues due to gaming in recent years, some Directors approached the fiscal process as in the past, when the Tribal budget was subsidized by federal money. When approaching the end of the fiscal year “many people have the idea that you have to blow that money,” said Billie. Upon announcing the switch to zero-based budg- eting, in which the Directors start from zero and justify all expenditures that follow, Billie warned of freezes and, in some cases, elimination of such costs as sponsorship of events, pay raises, employee travel, per diem, advertising, and equipment purchases. The Tribal member loan and assistance programs will also be scrutinized. Estimating the amount of assis- tance given to Tribal members in the past year at $9 mil- lion, Billie observed “the needy ones never come to the Tribe, it’s the greediest ones that come and ask for assis- tance.” The $50,000 cap on loans may also become a thing of the past.
