The Rt. Reverend W. Andrew Waldo, Eighth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina Minutes of the 96th Diocesan Convention – Business Session Trinity Cathedral Parish, Columbia

Care for Creation

Saturday, November 3, 2018

Convention Call to Order: The 96th Convention of The Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina was called to order at 9 a.m. by The Rt. Rev. W. Andrew Waldo, using the “Collect for a Church Convention.”

Almighty and everlasting Father, you have given the Holy Spirit to abide with us forever: Bless, we pray, with his grace and presence, the bishops and other clergy and the laity here assembled in your Name, that your Church, being preserved in true faith and godly discipline, may fulfill all the mind of him who loved it and gave himself for it, your Son Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Welcome from Host Congregation: The Bishop then recognized The Very Rev. Timothy Jones, Dean of Trinity Cathedral, who welcomed everyone to the cathedral and to Columbia. Dean Jones thanked the membership of Trinity for their hard work in preparing for Convention. Bishop Waldo expressed deep gratitude and acknowledged the clergy, staff and lay leadership of Trinity Cathedral for serving as host of this convention, noting their exemplary dedication to this event, strong ministry of hospitality, as well as participation in the life of The Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina.

Bishop Waldo then addressed the upcoming general election the following Tuesday with two prayers from The Book of Common Prayer seen as especially appropriate for the time. The first is the Prayer for an Election:

Almighty God, to whom we much account for all our powers and privileges: Guide the people of the United States in the election of officials and representatives; that, by faithful administration and wise laws, the rights of all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill your

purposes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The second prayer offered was a prayer for unity:

O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions; take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatever else may hinder us from godly union and concord; that, as there is but one Body and one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bishop Waldo then expressed the desire that, in the midst of disagreement and difference, the two prayers would encourage those present and remind them of our unity in Christ.

He then referred to the work of the General Convention of The Episcopal Church this past summer, during which clergy and delegates from this and every diocese gathered in Austin, Texas. In the midst of discussion and debate over a variety of issues, all were called to follow the way of love, the way of Jesus, with a focus on three areas: evangelism, racial reconciliation and creation care.

He then stressed that in our diocese, we fully embrace this work. For evangelism, we are always looking at and investing in new ways to share and show the good news of God in Christ.

In the area of racial reconciliation, last year’s Diocesan Convention Leadership Day highlighted some of the work of our Race and Reconciliation Committee, which has continued to work with congregations on ways to share our stories of community. He then referenced a video, scheduled for later that day highlighting a pilgrimage he made to Ghana. In the video he shares a personal story about how race and reconciliation has touched his family.

In reference to the third focus, Bishop Waldo highlighted the theme for this year’s convention of Stewardship and Care of Creation. He expressed appreciation for the Leadership Day program the previous day looking at ways we all might participate in this work in our own communities.

Appreciation was expressed to Dr. James McClintock, Endowed University Professor of Polar and Marine Biology at the University of Alabama/Birmingham who served as Leadership Day keynote speaker.

Thanks was also given to the five inspiring breakout sessions that helped participants learn more about food systems and sustainability, energy use, land conservation, water quality, and local climate change. 2

Leaders for those sessions were:

 Rebecca McKinney Founder of the South Carolina Organization for Organic Living  Lori Ziolkowski Assistant Professor in the School of Earth, Ocean and Environment at the University of South Carolina  Shelley Robbins Energy and State Policy Director at Upstate Forever  Rob Brown Rector of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Spartanburg, currently doing doctoral work focused on stewardship of creation  John Tynan Executive Director of Conservation Voters of South Carolina

These sessions were followed by a time for theological reflection, looking for concrete ways that congregations can care for creation in their own communities. These sessions were facilitated by members of our Committee on Environmental Stewardship & Justice. Bishop Waldo asked members of this committee to stand to be recognized? Appreciation was expressed for the committee’s help in the planning of Leadership Day.

Bishop Waldo next asked the members of the Diocesan Executive Council to stand. He expressed appreciation for their tireless work between conventions to address the business of the diocese, and invited delegates to express their thanks and gratitude for their willingness to serve.

He then highlighted the work of the Diocesan Executive Council in developing the Campaign for Mission to financially support three long-term opportunities that make, equip, and send the people of the diocese. The Campaign for Mission was formally presented at the previous evening’s banquet and:

 First, seeks to develop and use the historically-significant property at York Place, working with Still Hopes, Winthrop University, and other Episcopal organizations, to develop an early learning center that shares a campus with a new retirement community for moderate-income residents, providing unique opportunities for intergenerational formation and fellowship  Second, plans to develop and enhance facilities at Camp Gravatt in a manner that better serves our diocese, our congregations, and the extended community by accommodating larger groups  Lastly, seeks to provide an “opportunity fund” to support the development and expansion of Canterbury ministries on college campuses across the state. As our long-term vision for campus ministry expands, the fund will allow the diocese to lease, renovate, or furnish

spaces for young adults to encounter Christ in community as they make the most difficult decisions of their lives: what they will do, what relationships they will develop, where the will go, and who they will become.

Bishop Waldo then advised that the convention would view a video later in the day highlighting the vision for the campaign and encouraged those present to pray about how they might participate in a significant way.

Bishop Waldo then highlighted the work of those serving on diocesan commissions, whose work supports and guides the work of Convention and the Executive Council. He asked members of the following commissions to stand:

 The Commission on Mission and International Concerns  The Commission on Christian Formation  The Commission on The Episcopal Church and The Anglican Communion  The Commission for Congregations  The Commission on Convocations  The Commission on The Diocese  The Commission on Ministry

He then invited members of committees of the diocese to stand. He then invited those not standing to consider where they might be called to serve in diocesan ministry.

Bishop Waldo then highlighted the work of the Diocesan Youth Leadership Committee, thanked them for their help during the convention and for their work throughout the year helping with the development and execution of diocesan youth programming. He asked the members of DYLC to stand.

He then expressed gratitude for the Daughters of the King gathered to offer prayers to God throughout this convention and asked prayers for them as they kept vigil.

He also invited the Sisters of the Order of St. Helena present to stand and expressed thanks for their ministry of prayer, hospitality and service that provides unique opportunities for retreat and renewal at their facility in North Augusta.

He next thanked The Rt. Rev. Charles Duvall and his wife Nancy who assist me in ministry throughout the year.

Bishop Waldo then announced that he has been appointed to serve on the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and that Sister Ellen Francis, OSH has been appointed to the Task Force on Liturgical Prayer Book Revision.

Bishop Waldo next offered clarification regarding the status of those on the floor of convention with seat, voice and vote vs seat and voice and established the expectation that everyone would participate in the convention through the closing gavel.

All guests were reminded to be seated in the designated area.

Bishop Waldo informed delegates and clergy that the packets received at registration contained everything needed for the convention as well as supplemental information on various Diocesan ministries.

He urged those present to visit and support the exhibitors located downstairs next to the registration area, remembering that each of them in their own way is calling us to a particular disciple ministry.

He next informed those present that if, in the course of the business of convention, they wished to address the convention, they would need to use one of two microphones available on the floor. Once acknowledged, they were instructed to identify themselves, stating their name and parish before commencing remarks.

Finally, the Bishop noted that the offering received during the Convention Eucharist would be given to Camp Gravatt to help support scholarships so that more children and youth are able to experience the Christian formation, recreation, and fellowship that Camp Gravatt provides.

Certification of Quorum and Acceptance of Agenda: The Bishop then recognized Ms. Beth Hendrix, Secretary of Convention, who certified that a quorum was present. The Rev. Patricia Sexton, President of Diocesan Executive Council, moved the acceptance of the agenda printed in convention packets. Since the motion came from committee, a second was not required, and the motion carried.

Report of Committee on Credentials: The Bishop recognized Mr. Richard Gilliam, Chair of the Credentials Committee of the Ecclesiastical Disciplinary Board, who then reported that there were 185 lay and clergy delegates in attendance, with seat, voice, and vote in the convention.

RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO AMENDMENTS TO THE CANONS OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA

PROPOSED CHANGE #1 Offered by The Committee on Constitution and Canons Title V Canon 1 Section 1 (c)

Proposed Changes to the Statement of Mission (Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c))

RESOLVED, that Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina be, and hereby is, amended to add the underlined sentence below at the end of Section 1(c):

(c) Any motion to amend the Statement of Mission that is to be made on the floor of Convention must be in writing and must be received by the Secretary to Convention not later than five business days prior to Convention. Any such notice to the Secretary of

Convention of a proposed motion to amend the Statement of Mission that would increase the funding for any line item, or add any new line item, shall state the source of such additional funding or shall propose a decrease of an amount equal to the proposed increase or new line item from another line item or items within the Statement of Mission.

And further, RESOLVED, that Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) shall remain otherwise unchanged.

Comments of Committee

Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution of the Diocese:

“RESOLVED, that any person or persons proposing an addition to the Diocesan Budget at Convention shall be required to state the source of additional funds or shall propose a decrease of an amount equal to the proposed addition from another item or items within the Diocesan Budget.”

Pursuant to the responsibilities assigned to it under Title XI, Canon 2, Section 2(b) of the Canons, the Committee on Constitution and Canons has reviewed this Standing Resolution and has determined that it relates to a governance matter that should properly be addressed by the Canons. The Committee, therefore, proposes the foregoing amendment to the Canons to incorporate this Standing Resolution into the Canons, and recommends that it be adopted by Convention.

No second was required since the motion came from a committee. Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion with all comments limited to two (2) minutes.

After a period of discussion, a motion was accepted to end discussion and vote was accepted. Bishop Waldo called for a voice vote. He certified that the voice vote massed by 2/3 majority. The canonical change was recorded and certified by the chair of the Constitution and Canons Committee.

PROPOSED CHANGE #2 Offered by The Committee on Constitution and Canons Title VIII Canon 2 Section 1

Annual Meetings of Parishes and Missions (Title VIII, Canon 2, Section 1)

RESOLVED, that the first sentence of Title VIII, Canon 2, Section 1 of the Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina be, and hereby is, deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following sentence:

There shall be an annual meeting (“Annual Meeting”) of the Communicants in Good Standing who are members of each Parish or Mission in this Diocese each year between November 1 and February 28 for the purpose of electing wardens and Vestry members, and of transacting such other business as may come before the Annual Meeting.

And further, RESOLVED, that Title VIII, Canon 2, Section 1 shall remain otherwise unchanged.

Comments of Committee

Title VIII, Canon 2, Section 1 of the Canons as currently in effect requires that each Parish or Mission of the Diocese hold an Annual Meeting of Communicants in Good Standing within 60 calendar days of the first Sunday in Advent. As discussed at Convention in 2017, this provision is not consistent with the practice of some Parishes and Missions of the Diocese. The Committee, therefore, proposes the foregoing amendment to the Canons to accommodate the various practices of Parishes and Missions of the Diocese, as well as the needs of the Diocesan staff, and those of the Finance Committee in connection with preparation of the Statement of Mission, and recommends that it be adopted by Convention.

Introduction, Discussion, and Action on Proposed Changes to Standing Resolutions

Bishop Waldo then asked Rev. Sexton to present proposed changes to standing resolutions offered by The Committee on Constitution and Canons.

The presentation was preceded by the following explanation of the need for the work:

Title XI, Canon 2, Section 2(b) of the Canons of The Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina requires the Committee on Constitution and Canons, between the second and third anniversaries of adoption, (i) to review each Standing Resolution of Convention to determine whether such resolution continues to be relevant to the mission and ministry of the Diocese, continues to reflect the will of Convention, is enforced as appropriate, and is accorded proper deference, and (ii) to make appropriate recommendations with respect thereto. This is a new requirement that was added in the Canons adopted at the 95th Convention. Therefore, none of the current Standing Resolutions, has previously been subjected to such a review. Accordingly, the Committee on Constitution and Canons undertook a review of all of the current Standing Resolutions, and has the following recommendations:

Proposed Change #1

Standing Resolution Relating to Delivery of the Convention Journal

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that one copy of the Journal be mailed to each Deputy separately by the Secretary as soon as it is printed and ready for distribution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the foregoing Standing Resolution be, and hereby is, repealed in its entirety and replaced with the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that the Diocesan Convention Journal be made available by posting thereof by the Secretary of Convention on the Diocesan website as soon as it has been prepared for distribution.

Comments of Committee

Making paper copies and mailing of the Convention Journal is expensive, and the Journal is already made readily accessible on the Diocesan website to anyone who wishes to access it. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution, and recommends that it be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. None followed. He asked for a voice vote which passed with simple majority. The resolution was repealed.

Proposed Change #2

Standing Resolution Relating to Sundays for Designated Offerings

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stated offerings be as follows: The Episcopal Church Home for Children - Thanksgiving Day, The Bishop's Discretionary Fund - Bishop's Visitation, Finlay House and Still Hopes - the second Sunday in May.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the foregoing Standing Resolution be, and hereby is, amended to delete the reference to the Episcopal Church Home for Children, and thereby to read in its entirety as follows:

RESOLVED, that the stated offerings be as follows: The Bishop's Discretionary Fund - Bishop's Visitation, Finlay House and Still Hopes - the second Sunday in May.

Comments of Committee

The Episcopal Church Home for Children no longer exists as the organization it was at the time this Standing Resolution was adopted. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to delete the reference to the Episcopal Church Home for Children from this Standing Resolution, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. Mr. Benton Williamson, St. John’s, Columbia offered a friendly amendments that The Episcopal Church Home for Children is now named The Episcopal Children’s Home at York Place, which was accepted. No further discussion ensued. Bishop Waldo asked for a voice vote on the amended resolution which passed with simple majority. The resolution was adopted as amended.

Proposed Change #3

Standing Resolution Relating to Voting and Balloting at Convention

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that unless otherwise designated by the Constitution and Canons of this Diocese, all voting or balloting at the Diocesan Convention shall be as follows: (a) any person or persons receiving a majority of the votes cast on the first ballot shall be declared elected; and (b) if all of the places being voted on are not filled on the first ballot, then the number of candidates on the second and subsequent ballots, shall not exceed double the number of places remaining to be filled, the names on the second and subsequent ballots to be made up of those candidates receiving the highest number of votes short of a majority on the preceding ballot or ballots.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that subsection (a) of the foregoing Standing Resolution be, and hereby is, amended to replace the words “person or persons” with the word “nominee”; and that subsections (a) and (b) be, and hereby are, amended to insert the word “simple” before “majority” and “(half plus one vote)” after “majority”, and thereby for the Standing Resolution to read in its entirety as follows:

RESOLVED, that unless otherwise designated by the Constitution and Canons of this Diocese, all voting or balloting at the Diocesan Convention shall be as follows: (a) any nominee receiving a simple majority (half plus one vote) of the votes cast on the first ballot shall be declared elected; and (b) if all of the places being voted on are not filled on the first ballot, then the number of candidates on the second and subsequent ballots, shall not exceed double the number of places remaining to be filled, the names on the second and subsequent ballots to be made up of those candidates receiving the highest number of votes short of a simple majority (half plus one vote) on the preceding ballot or ballots.

Comments of Committee

It is not clear in this resolution as currently in effect that “a majority of votes cast” means half of the votes cast plus one vote, rather than 51% of the votes cast. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to make this clarification, as well as to replace the words “person or persons” with the word “nominee”, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. None followed. He asked for a voice vote and the resolution passed with simple majority. The resolution was adopted.

Proposed Change #4

Standing Resolution Relating to Special Assessments

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that all Resolutions or motions pertaining to Special Assessments or the raising of funds for any purpose which would affect individual Parishes and Missions be reduced to writing and placed in the hands of the Secretary in time for distribution among the delegates and Clergy prior to the Convention, and that all such Resolutions and motions be made separately and not a part of any other motion; provided, that two- thirds vote of each order voting separately, may override the requirements of this Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the foregoing Standing Resolution, which is now addressed by Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons be, and hereby is, repealed in its entirety as no longer necessary.

Comments of Committee

Any special assessment proposed by the Diocesan Executive Council, the Bishop or any Commission of the Diocese would be included in the proposed Statement of Mission. Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(b) of the Canons as adopted by the 95th Convention requires that a copy of the final Statement of Mission be submitted to each Convocation Dean prior to the final Convocation meeting before the Annual Convention, with instructions that it be furnished to the Convocation at or prior to such final Convocation meeting. Accordingly, any special assessments proposed as part of the Statement of Mission would be provided well in advance of the Annual Convention. Further, Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons as adopted by the 95th Convention of the Diocese requires that any motion to amend the Statement of Mission that is to be made on the floor of Convention be in writing and received by the Secretary to Convention not later than five days prior to Convention. Accordingly, any special assessment proposed to be added to the Statement of Mission by motion from the floor of Convention would have to be provided at least five days prior to Convention. In light of these advance notice provisions, this Standing Resolution is no longer necessary. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to repeal this Standing Resolution, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. None followed. He asked for a voice vote which passed with simple majority. The standing resolution was repealed.

Proposed Change #5

Standing Resolution Relating to Proposed Changes to the Statement of Mission

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that any person or persons proposing an addition to the Diocesan Budget at Convention shall be required to state the source of the additional funds

or shall propose a decrease of an amount equal to the proposed addition from another item or items within the Diocesan Budget.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, if the amendment to Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons as proposed to the 96th Convention by the Committee on Constitution and Canons is adopted by the 96th Convention, the foregoing Standing Resolution, be, and hereby is, repealed in its entirety as no longer necessary; provided, however, if the amendment to Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons as proposed to the 96th Convention by the Committee on Constitution and Canons is not adopted by the 96th Convention, the foregoing Standing Resolution shall remain in full force and effect.

Comments of Committee

The Committee has proposed an amendment to the Canons to be voted on at the 96th Convention that would add the requirements of this Standing Resolution to Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) of the Canons. If adopted, this amendment to Title V, Canon 1, Section 1(c) would render this Standing Resolution no longer necessary. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to repeal this Standing Resolution, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention. If, however, the amendment to the Canons is not adopted as proposed, this Standing Resolution would remain in effect.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. None followed. He asked for a voice vote which passed with simple majority. The proposal was approved.

Proposed Change #6

Standing Resolution Relating to Representation of Episcopal University and College Students at Convention

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolutions:

RESOLVED, that the Episcopal university and college students of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina be represented by a seat and voice at this and future Diocesan Conventions; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the representation of the Episcopal university and college students of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina be determined as follows:

(A) Each organized Episcopal college group shall be entitled to one representative.

(B) In the absence of such group, the Episcopal chaplain may nominate the campus representative.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the foregoing Standing Resolution be, and hereby is, 18

repealed in its entirety as inconsistent with Title I, Canon 1, Section 4(b) of the Canons.

Comments of the Committee

This Standing Resolution is inconsistent with Title I, Canon 1, Section 4(b) of the Canons as adopted by the 95th Diocesan Convention, which section provides that persons who may be accorded seat and voice at Convention may be nominated by the Bishop and approved by the Standing Committee. The Canons do not make further provision for special categories of persons who may be accorded seat and voice at Convention. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to repeal this Standing Resolution, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. None followed. He asked for a voice vote which passed with simple majority. The standing resolution was repealed.

Proposed Change #7

Standing Resolution Relating to Age of Adulthood

WHEREAS, Convention has previously adopted the following Standing Resolution:

RESOLVED, that any person serving in an elective or appointed position which may cause that person to be an adult before the laws of the State of South Carolina while acting on behalf of the Church shall be a confirmed communicant in good standing and shall have reached his/her age of majority as defined by the laws of the State.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the foregoing Standing Resolution be, and hereby is, repealed in its entirety and replaced with the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that any person serving in an elected or appointed position that may require such person to take actions on behalf of the Church, or any organization of the Church, that would be legally binding under the laws of the State of South Carolina shall be a confirmed communicant in good standing, and shall have reached his/her age of majority as defined by the laws of the State of South Carolina.

Comments of the Committee

The meaning of the existing Standing Resolution is unclear. Therefore, the Committee proposes the foregoing resolution to repeal this Standing Resolution and replace it with another Standing Resolution that the Committee believes reflects the original intent of this Standing Resolution, and recommends that the resolution be adopted by Convention.

Bishop Waldo opened the floor for discussion. The Rev. Kellie Wilson, Christ Church, Greenville asked for a point of clarification on the resolution concerning how this might apply to persons under the age of 18 years old. Mr. Kirby Shealy, Chancellor responded that his reading of the proposal would require all

elected and appointed persons serving on behalf of the church be at least 18 years of age. Rev. Sexton proposed tabling the resolution which was seconded by Rev. Wilson. He asked for a voice vote which tabled the resolution. Further discussion followed.

Campaign for Mission Video: Bishop Waldo recognized Mr. Michael Darnell who introduced a video describing the Campaign for Mission raising funds for York Place, Camp Gravatt, and Campus Ministry. Bishop Waldo thanked Mr. Darnell and commended the work of the Campaign for Mission.

Announcements: Bishop Waldo called on The Rev. Canon d’Rue Hazel, Bishop’s Convention Officer, for announcements. Bishop Waldo reminded all that the Convention Eucharist offering would go to Camp Gravatt Scholarships, encouraging all the be generous.

The business of Convention was adjourned for Holy Eucharist in the cathedral. One Convocational Dean was installed and Bishop Waldo’s address to Convention was delivered during the liturgy.

Bishop’s Address/Sermon at the 96th Convention Eucharist of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina 3 November 2018 – Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Columbia

I come from a family that loves words. By that, I mean we love to explore the origins of particular words and how to use them accurately and effectively, and with art, if possible. My great- grandmother, Frances Dorr Swift Tatnall had a lot to do with this. She was not only a teacher, but she started a school in Wilmington, Delaware. The Tatnall School opened in 1930 with 23 young women and now matriculates nearly 700, male and female students. She so loved learning that word games, debates, and discussions about words and writing and reading have been a feature of our family life for as long as I can remember. These were activities of which we not only knew Great Grandma Tatnall approved, but that she expected.

As I was growing up, an atlas and a dictionary were always kept nearby to settle disputes, clarify, or otherwise sharpen our frequent and sometimes lengthy conversations and debates around the family dining room table. My five siblings and I and both close and more-distant cousins remember with great fondness the empowerment that came with understanding the precise word or words to express an idea, thought or action. Great Grandma Tatnall passed all this down because she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that words matter. We came to know that not only did our particular words matter, but that our word was our bond. All assumptions about our trustworthiness and integrity depended on our word given in faithfulness, truth and honesty. If we made a pledge, trustworthiness demanded we fulfill it. And in her understanding, only pledges worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ were to be made, promises rooted in love that led

to goodness.

The motto of the Tatnall School is Omnia in Caritate, or, “All Things in Love,” summarizing a constant theme in the apostle Paul’s epistles. It uses the Latin word for the kind of love Paul means when he says, “Faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” The motto is most closely articulated in 1 Corinthians 16, when Paul says, “Let all that you do be done in love.” In Greek, the word is agape. My great-grandmother’s choice of this motto at the very beginning of her school grew directly from her formation in Jesus’ summary of the Law— Love God, love your neighbor, as she heard regularly repeated in the cadences of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer—and in Paul’s proclamation that without love, we are nothing. That “first cause” biblical principle has formed thousands of students at the Tatnall school, and I can confidently say that her many descendants still feel accountable to her witness and leadership more than fifty years after her death.

This morning, we gather in the context of a world in which all assumptions about words, their meaning, their particular value, and the Christian values underlying our better words are under assault. It is a volatile time, that is having, and will continue to have, a negative effect on how our children come to understand and use the power of words.

Even under the best of circumstances, imparting Christian ethics and moral theology to our children is challenging. It takes time and disciplined attention. And yet today, we have leaders of all stripes who live under the rubric that yesterday’s word was good yesterday. Today’s word is good today. But tomorrow’s word may change everything. Guiding moral principles are scarce and quickly abandoned to satisfy immediate practical ends, like seeds sown on the path, which the birds come and quickly devour, as Jesus teaches in the Parable of the Sower. One of our diocesan Episcopal school teachers recently described to me how difficult it is to offer and teach a structure for moral living, only to have that structure undermined daily by public leaders.

In my own upbringing, having a priest for a father gave an even sharper awareness to my understanding of the power of words. More than a few of our family dining-table debates were on religious subjects. We would sometimes debate his Sunday sermons and consider their moral implications of matters in the public and political spheres. Other times we would debate the religious subject itself, or what makes words and people authoritative, or how nuances of word usage can utterly affect how a statement is understood. Or we might talk about the word of God in scripture, and about the Word made flesh, Jesus. Such conversations and debates continued into and throughout our adulthood.

We came to understand the important distinctions between “words,” a person’s “word,” and the—upper-case “W”—Word.

Individual words come in infinite variations of precision, subtlety and ambiguity, and we need to know their context matters to properly grasp their meaning. To give my word, is to make the kind

of faithful pledge I mentioned earlier. In the Church, we have the authoritative “word” of God we encounter as Holy Scripture, which embodies millions of individual words. Biblical words have been pored over, studied, translated, and interpreted by faithful translators, theologians, teachers and pastors for millennia, that we might understand them more accurately and live more faithfully by them.

Finally, all language culminates in the living “Word,” spoken by God in the beginning of creation and made flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, in whom we live and move and have our being. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” writes John the Evangelist. (John 1:1)

As Christians, we are—by definition—people of the Word.

In Christ Jesus, continually revealed to us through scripture and the Holy Spirit, we know that God is good. God is love. God is merciful. God calls us—even demands that we come towards all that is good, gracious and pleasing. God commands us to turn from evil and to follow in his way. We are to love God. We are to love our neighbor. In responding to all of this with our lives, God holds us accountable.

Words are powerful. They can heal; they can create; and they can calm. They can also hurt; they can incite; they can kill. The childish adage that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me” is demonstrably false. A hurtful word spoken in anger or malice by someone important to us can live in and infect our hearts and our outlook on the world for decades if we leave the work of truth-telling and reconciliation unaddressed.

On Tuesday evening this past week, I attended a memorial service at Temple Beth Shalom here in Columbia for the eleven victims of last week’s shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh by a man filled with words of hatred that had formed his heart and incited him to unspeakable violence. At least a dozen Episcopal clergy and I don’t know how many lay persons from the Midlands joined me and representatives from virtually every faith community in the area as participants in the service. Clementa Pinckney’s widow and daughters were among them, as were many civic and political leaders. The overwhelming sense in the room was that the malicious work to divide us as a people that too many leaders have undertaken, must not succeed. For we share in so much more than we differ.

As a Rabbi read the names of those killed in Pittsburgh and offered prayers for those wounded— both members of the synagogue and police officers wounded as they tried to stop the shooter— for the shooter himself, and for the Jewish doctors who treated the shooter’s own wounds, I reflected on how moving and necessary it was to hear their names out loud. It continually strikes me that among the most lethal poisons in human discourse is the way we verbally turn each other into objects for derision or dismissal. When we objectify others with harm, hatred, prejudice, or anger in our hearts, that verbal poison begins to have real-life consequences, as our Jewish brothers and sisters in Pittsburgh, and two African-Americans murdered in Jeffersonville, Kentucky in hate killings experienced this past weekend.

As people of the Word made flesh, Jesus, our entire way of being is rooted in a relationship with a person, a savior, who has a name. And if we as disciples of Jesus want to make a difference in this time of conflict and alienation, we can begin by looking at the ways we objectify others with our own words—and to make a practice of calling others by name.

On this, I have to come clean and make full disclosure. When I was a parish priest, I was well- known for having an uncanny ability to remember people’s names, even people I’d met only once. After becoming a bishop, I was amazed to discover how much that skill had been dependent on the stability of my being in the same place of worship every Sunday. Moving into a Diocesan community of 25,000 people and being connected to large ecumenical, civic and national church communities, laid bare the limits of whatever name-remembering ability I once claimed.

But it matters to me to know your name, and after all these years, I’m getting much better at it. For experience tells me it matters to you when I call you by name. —It matters to any of us to be known by name. This has everything to do with what I’ve been saying about words, word and the Word. Isaiah, in chapter 43, tells us why: But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; … Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you,

——It doesn’t often occur to us that wearing a name tag is a subversive act. When we make our names known to each other, when we are in a relationship by name, it becomes that much more difficult for us to objectify each other.

It’s not uncommon for me to point out the presence or lack of nametags when I visit a congregation. There is some practical self-interest in this. I do prefer not finding myself in the awkward position of forgetting your name. But the deeper, spiritual goal of knowing you—by name—for who you are is the deeper reason. I’ve never understood why some people even refuse to wear a nametag—discounting for those who just left it at home on the dresser. It is a supreme, godly and important act of vulnerability to let people know who you are. It is a generous act of hospitality to make yourself known to the sojourner or visitor who comes into your congregation seeking to be known. As for me, every time I visit I’d love to see your first name in big letters on your nametag, legible from a distance, so I can look you in the eyes when you approach and be more certain to greet you by name!

The truth is, referencing Isaiah, you are precious to me, too. A couple of years ago, some of you will remember that I spent the better part of a week walking a trail along the Wales-England 23

border. It was a holy experience in many ways, but also because, as I walked, I carefully brought into my heart and prayer each congregation of this diocese, one-by-one. I lingered with gratitude on images of each physical place, on the priests and deacons and retired clergy who serve with you, on the unique character of each community, and finally, on the faces of as many of you as I could associate with a congregation, and your names when I knew them.

The polarized and alienated world “out there” can certainly be lived “in here” when we aren’t attentive. We have our conflicts, sometimes serious conflicts; we have our misunderstandings, our hurtful comments, our stubbornness, and our prideful moments. But as I walked in Wales, I a particular gratitude filled me with a confidence that in our steadfastly turning back toward each other—whether in church or in this deeply politicized world—we can and do rediscover Christ within each other. Something about that baptismal mandate ultimately ever reminds us of the graciousness, love and forgiveness which Jesus gave us with his very life.

—This past summer, my five siblings and I received a “summons” from our mother. The call was to find a time in September when we could all gather in Montgomery, Alabama for a few days. She said nothing about why she wanted us to come; she just said, “come.” Saying “no” was not an option. It was indeed the only time she’s ever called us together in that way in the course of her almost 91 years. Spouses were invited to come along, but she wanted one whole day to be just with her six children—morning, lunch and a full afternoon. We were pretty sure our gathering wouldn’t involve any announcements—good or bad. She is so transparent about what’s going on in her life and we all communicate with each other so often that information about extraordinary things—like health issues and other life changes—gets communicated in more ordinary ways than actually physically gathering. So, five weeks ago, we gathered at her home in Montgomery.

I will say more about the gathering in a moment, but first I need to tell you something about my mother, whose mother’s mother I’ve already talked about. More often than not in family photographs from her childhood, my mother’s is the face that jumps out at you. You almost can’t help smiling back at a face that just seems filled with the Holy Spirit’s “gift of joy and wonder in all God’s works.” Her smile jumps off the page so often carrying in it an ineffable sense that she not only loves “this very moment,” but that she loves people she’s with and she loves the world around her. She loves you. And you, and you, and you. She seems curious about who you are and what new and interesting things she might learn by knowing you. It’s a smile filled with interest, but above all, one that seems so utterly comfortable with the present, what is, in that particular moment. And that’s still how it often feels to be with her. This doesn’t mean she’s always happy or that she hasn’t felt and expressed anger, hurt, frustration and disappointment—believe me, I do know the angry look! It does mean a deep joy pervades her spirit, carrying her through temporary circumstances.

—We gathered in circle in her living room—in birth order, but with her sitting between child three and child four. After a prayer and a moment of silence, she began by thanking us for coming and offering a kind of smiling half-apology for our having had to rearrange schedules to get there. 24

Then she said, simply, “I wanted to know if there’s anything I need to ask your forgiveness for.”

After further silence, we began to talk, to tell stories, to laugh and even to cry. But none of us had anything to offer in answer to her question. We did tell stories about big blowups we remembered, we did speak with total honesty about difficult moments between us—especially between siblings. We heard stories we’d never heard before. We sometimes remembered the same story differently. The reason we had no stories needing our mother’s penitence and our forgiveness was that she and our father had raised us to ask for forgiveness at the time of the “offense.” Those sins had long since been put away.

Last week, I asked my siblings how they would describe their experience of that day. One of my sisters said, “I loved…that each one of us could share our stories, love, pain, regrets or guilt and have them accepted with such unconditional love. Not only do we love one another, we like one another. This time together was a beautiful gift.” A brother said, “some small heartfelt appreciations and thoughts that may have gone unsaid, came to life in our holy gathering.” Another brother said, “while we’re not always as good or attentive as we could be…, we have a love that is remarkable and strong and healthy and a light in and to the world.” And another sister, “What a great way to clear the air and live forgiveness.” All of us have expressed gratitude, but my older brother, summed it up saying, “[While we can be] grateful for specific things, be it a physical gift or a thought, expression or action by another, ‘gratitude’ on the other hand, seems to me to be a deeper sense of openness to those around us.”

Omnia in caritate. All Things in Love.

As the Book of Deuteronomy says, and which the apostle Paul cites in his letter to the Romans, “The word is very near you, on your lips and in your heart.” (Deuteronomy 30:14; Romans 10:8) And this age asks of us, pleads with us, to speak words of love. To give our word in love. And to live for the very Word of love: Jesus, our friend, savior and Lord, who calls us each by name.

Convention was reconvened by Bishop Waldo at: 1:15 PM

He reminded all that tables on the floor of Convention were for certified lay delegates and clergy with seat, voice and vote, as well as those granted seat and voice. Others were to be seated in the guest area.

Report of 1st Ballot: Bishop Waldo called on The Rev. Deacon Ann Pilat, Head Teller. She reported that in the election for Diocesan Executive Council – Lay Order, Mary Ellen Haile, Rebecca Kenner, and Melissa Langford were elected. In the election for University of the South 25

Board of Trustees – Lay Order there was a tie.

Bishop Waldo congratulated those elected and called for Ballot #2 to determine the University of the South Board Trustee. Deacon Pilat gave instructions for completing the Scantron forms and, with the assistance of DYLC members distributed Scantron forms and collected completed ballots for tabulation.

Creation Dialogue Exercise: In keeping with the Convention theme of Stewardship of Creation Bishop Waldo introduced an exercise focused around table conversations among delegates. A portion of Genesis Chapter 1 was read by The Rev. Deedie Phillips-Marshall and a video was presented. Tables were then encouraged to engage the following questions:  What word, image, or theme stands out for you from the video or the reading from Genesis you heard?  Where might you find God in Creations?  How does our faith inform our responsibility for stewardship of creation? o What do you want to share or create? o What do you need to help you move forward? Bishop Waldo again expressed his gratitude to members of the Diocesan Environmental Stewardship Committee for their ministry. Following the discussion period, several tables shared observations and initiatives currently underway in their settings.

Report of 2nd Ballot: Bishop Waldo called on The Rev. Deacon Ann Pilat, Head Teller. She reported that the results of the 2nd Ballot were that Mr. Benton Williamson was elected to serve as a University of the South Board Trustee. Bishop Waldo congratulated him on his election.

Report from the Task Force for Healthy Congregations: Bishop Waldo recognized Ms. Susan Palmer, Dr. Gordon Smith, and The Rev. Canon Dorian Del Priore – members of the Task Force for Healthy Congregations.

The following report was submitted:

Right Reverend Sir and the Body of Christ in Upper South Carolina gathered here at this convention, it is with great hope for our common life together that we raise each other up in our faith. Our diocese exists for this purpose.

As such, we are bound to one another, called to love and care for each other in our own lives, the lives of our congregations, and in our shared life as a diocese. We are building up the Body of Christ through the bonds of love that is set as the foundation of our faith, together, as we make, equip, and send mature disciples of Christ.

The Commission on the Diocese, the Commission for Congregations, and the Commission on Missions and International Concerns have begun the important work of discerning how we all 26

may best support our common work of participation in God’s mission. This work provides a way for us to bear with one another in deepening mutual relationships, through responsibility for one another, and accountability to one another.

As part of this work, we will begin with the information already available to us. The Commission on the Diocese will look at four measures from the past five years to help assess our call to fiscal and governance responsibilities. We first will gather information about each congregation’s annual audit and its subsequent submission to the Commission on the Diocese. The Commission also will consider whether the scope of the audit is appropriate to the size and complexity of the congregation’s financial structure. Second, COD will review a parish’s acceptance and fulfillment of its episcopal pledge. Third, COD will review whether each congregation has collected information for the annual parochial report and submitted the report to the wider Church. And fourth, COD will look at each parish’s engagement in Diocesan governance through its sending of delegates to participate in annual Conventions. A model of the report that COD will report at the 97th Convention of the Diocese of Upper SC can be found on in your convention folder, last report on the right hand side.

Each measure provides the Commission on the Diocese information critical to its mission. The annual audit assures appropriate internal management of financial resources and sound stewardship of funds entrusted to each congregation for its mission. The episcopal pledge is a tangible measure of a congregation’s acceptance of, and participation in, the common life of our Diocese. This common life provides opportunities to participate in God’s mission on a scale none of us could achieve as individual congregations. This common life supports endeavors ranging from congregational programs that thrive because of diocesan support, like Fresh Start at St. Luke’s, to Diocesan-wide ministries that are more than any of us could do alone, like young adult ministry on the college and university campuses in our state. The parochial report provides a window into the ongoing life of each congregation and allows the wider church to partner in discerning how to best support our congregations. A congregation’s participation in Diocesan governance through Convention ensures that the gifts of their voice and vote help our shared mission move forward. Every parish will be contacted over the next year by COD to ensure that the most up to date data is provided.

These Commissions understand that parochial measures are an imperfect and incomplete measure of a congregation’s vitality. To gain a more complete picture, we will look to gather information that is not easily quantifiable.

The Commission on Congregations will look for ways to assess how a congregation engages with its own worshipping community: how we make, equip, and send those we worship with each Sunday and throughout the week. We also will look for markers of a congregation’s partnerships and participation with others across the diocese. How do the congregations in convocations, or the congregations in the same town, relate to one another? Those are the questions we look to answer.

The Commission on Mission & International Concerns will look for ways to assess how our congregations engage with their local communities, and with mission opportunities across the diocese. We want to collect the stories of how we all are participating in God’s mission in our neighborhoods, across the state, and around the world.

We are here today because we believe, as Episcopalians, that we are formed, together. We are not merely a collection of individual congregations, but rather we are - together - the Body of Christ across Upper South Carolina. We must support one another, we must pray for one another, and we must celebrate with one another as we seek to make, equip, and send mature disciples of Jesus Christ, together.

The report was accompanied by the following graphs for illustrative purposes.

Bishop Waldo thanked the Task Force for Healthy Congregations for their report and opened the floor for discussion.

Members of the committee responded to questions and comments. Discussion concluded.

He then moved that the 2019 Statement of Mission be adopted. Since the Statement of Mission is presented from the Diocesan Executive Council, not second was required.

Prior to opening the floor for discussion, Bishop Waldo reviewed the extensive process of formulation of the Statement of Mission.

Discussion followed. A motion was made to end discussion and seconded. Bishop Waldo called for a voice vote. The 2019 Statement of Mission was adopted.

Mr. Sandberg stated that the business of the Treasurer for Convention was concluded. He was thanked by Bishop Waldo.

Discussion and Consideration of the Proposed Resolutions: Bishop Waldo then recognized Dr. Norah Grimball, Chair of the Committee on Resolutions.

Dr. Grimball reported that the committee recommended adoption of Standing Resolution to Bena Dial Sunday without amendment.

Bishop Waldo called for a voice vote and the resolution was adopted by Convention. Dr. Grimball reported that the business of the Resolutions Committee before Convention was concluded.

Bishop Waldo thanked the committee for their work.

COMMISSION ON MISSION AND INTERNATIONAL CONCERNS Dr. Gordon Smith, Chair

The Commission on Mission and International Concerns seeks to integrate activities of the Diocese into the life and work of the local, national, and global communities and insure that the goals, achievements, and needs of our outreach programs are communicated to congregations of the Diocese. Below are descriptions of the major programs reporting to the Commission and summaries of their activities this year. This year we have successfully expanded our Matthew 25 grant program, conducted Racial Reconciliation programs in many parishes, launched the Voorhees Scholars Program in concert with the SC Bishops’ Public Education Initiative, and established a working group on Environmental Stewardship and Justice that will begin offering workshops in parishes throughout the Diocese.

While all of the programs under the Commission are engaged in active outreach to people in need, we want to especially feature the example of the Fresh Start ministry at St. Luke’s. Driven by a strong sense of call by God for the parish to become a beacon in the Waverly Community and following the mandate found in Micah 6:8 ...to show mercy, love justice and walk humbly with your God.,” Fresh Start began in 2016 with the receipt of a modest grant from the Matthew 25 program as a place for the working poor, the disabled and homeless to find respite as well free laundry services, showers, food, clothing, HIV testing, blood pressure monitoring, and pastoral care. Not only does Fresh Start fulfill a Biblical mandate, it also is a perfect example of Presiding Bishop Curry's vision of creating the “Beloved Community.” With minimal advertising, the numbers of clients have steadily increased. To date more than1000 individuals have received services, with an average of more than 100 clients per day.

Not only has the number of clients steadily increased, so has the number of community agencies and individuals who have asked to partner with Fresh Start. Community partners include:

Eau Claire Health Services Palmetto Health Behavioral Health Midlands Technical College – Office of Human Services United Way of the Midlands Harvest Hope MACH – Midlands Area Consortium for Homelessness AIDS Healthcare Foundation Columbia Oral Health Clinic Little Caesar's Pizza – Lexington Bi-Lo – West Columbia

Sharing God's Love – Irmo Grace Medical - Columbia

St. Peter's Lutheran Church – Lexington St. Timothy's Episcopal Church – Columbia St. Martin's-in-the-Fields – Columbia Trinity Cathedral – Columbia; Daughters of the Holy Cross St. Augustine of Canterbury – Aiken St. Michael and all Angels – Columbia All Saints Episcopal Church – Cayce St. John's Episcopal Church – Columbia

In addition, private individuals are assisting, not necessarily representing a church.

The Fresh Start Ministry has breathed new life into the St. Luke’s congregation. It has created a “Fresh Start” for the O'Neal Center and a “Fresh Start” for our clients. Two clients have been confirmed and have joined St. Luke's parish and several others attend St. Luke's on Sundays with their families.

Presentations about the Fresh Start ministry have been made at St. Timothy's and St. John's, Shandon. We were especially proud that the Fresh Start ministry was featured in an article in the January 2018 issue of Columbia Living Magazine.

Environmental Stewardship and Justice

The Diocesan Committee on Environmental Stewardship and Justice seeks to encourage and support an awareness of our responsibility to think as stewards of creation and to assist congregations throughout the Diocese of Upper South Carolina to realize that mission through ministry, outreach, education, community relations, and environmental advocacy. A number of steps have been taken or are in process, to accomplish that goal. These efforts include a direct focus on individual churches, a focus on the Diocese as a whole, and a focus on the larger community in which our churches play a part.

In the focus on individual churches, the first phase has been to include questions relevant to environmental ministry in the asset mapping of churches that currently is in process. This assessment includes the first attempt to establish what environmental ministry projects are already in place in individual churches, and what other churches would be interested in adopting environmental programs. This assessment also gauges enthusiasm among churches for launching environmental ministry.

To support that effort, the Committee has created a web page on the Diocesan website that gives an exhaustive list of resources available for environmental ministry, including suggestions for specific programs and a list of how-to resources. The web page also includes resources for curricula on environmental issues, as well as available video and written resources. The web page is dynamic and can be expanded as needed.

In our focus on the Diocese as a whole, the Committee is participating in Leadership Day for the November Diocesan Convention. The keynote speaker is an expert in environmental issues, particularly climate change, and the Committee is planning and developing the discussion sessions that follow the speaker’s address. Working with Diocesan staff, the Committee is engaged in selecting and procuring environmental specialists to make presentations on five focus areas, including energy, climate change, food systems, water quality, and land conservation. Following the presentations, discussion sessions will be held to identify what specific environmental stewardship ministry initiatives can be, or already have been, adopted by churches in the Diocese. The goal of Leadership Day is to make environmental stewardship and justice a reality in the life of every church in the Diocese. The Committee will assist in that process and launch a follow up program afterwards.

In connection with these efforts, the Committee is developing a series of theological reflections as a focus for environmental stewardship and justice, to be used as churches present environmental ministry. In addition, plans are being discussed to develop curricula for Christian formation classes that emphasize environmental stewardship.

To expand our focus to the larger community, the Committee is planning to initiate an advocacy education program to identify environmental issues at stake that affect particular Convocations, and to outline ways of engaging with the community on those issues. This project is expected to encourage churches to take leadership positions on issues that directly affect the communities that they serve, and have outcomes that are positive for parishioners, the community, and the environment. To supplement that project, the Committee plans to increase our presence on social media, and to launch a program to contact every church in the Diocese regarding environmental stewardship ministry and advocacy opportunities. We are also developing contacts with similar programs in other Dioceses to share ideas and resources.

The past months have been a formational stage in the overall impact of the Committee within the Diocese. A number of important projects have been accomplished, and others are in process. The hope of the Committee is that its efforts and goals will have lasting impact on all the churches in the Diocese, and all the parishioners served by those churches. In addition, the Committee looks for inspiration to the 18 resolutions on care of creation passed by the 2018 General Convention. So far, Committee efforts have incurred small costs directly, however, as the Committee extends its efforts, adequate funding becomes a necessity. This is a ministry designed

3 to reach every church in the Diocese, as well as community organizations and other churches, with the intention to make care of creation an integral part of life.

HIV/AIDS

We received funding from Prov. IV to continue our collaboration with the Columbia Oral Health Clinic to provide free dental care for those living with HIV/AIDS. Funds are managed through the Fresh Start Ministry at St. Luke's Columbia.

The annual HIV testing event was held at St. Luke's on June 21 (in cooperation with Eau Claire Medical Center and Grace Medical in Columbia). Those testing HIV+ were placed into care.

EDUSC HIV/AIDS Committee met with Congressman Joe Wilson to discuss HIV/AIDS and access to care in rural areas of South Carolina.

Plans are underway for an event at the Statehouse on World AIDS Day on Saturday, December 1. Two grants from AIDS Healthcare Foundation were awarded to the Dare to Care HIV/AIDS Committee at St. Luke's Columbia and the Fresh Start Ministry; one for HIV testing supplies and one for condoms.

The sixth annual HIV/AIDS awareness day and testing event was held at Voorhees College with the Reverend Deacon Dianna Deaderick speaking at the chapel service. Testing was provided by AIDS Healthcare Foundation's mobile testing van and Hope Health, Orangeburg. The monthly First Thursday Advocacy Days continue to be sponsored by the Dare to Care HIV/AIDS Committee at St. Luke's Columbia and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Lunch is provided, followed by a program concerning issues in HIV/AIDS and other health concerns. The Reverend Deacon Dianna Deaderick was recognized by the SC Black Pride organization and presented with its annual Flamethrower award for her dedication to HIV/AIDS work in South Carolina.

Episcopal Relief and Development

For over 75 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been the Episcopal Church’s primary outreach mission around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than 3 million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster, and disease. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, Episcopal Relief & Development leverages the expertise and resources of Anglican and other partners to deliver measurable and sustainable change in three signature program areas: Women, Children and Climate.

During 2018, support for the critical mission of Episcopal Relief & Development was coordinated by Deacon Timothy Ervolina, along with Diocesan communication staff, local congregations and partners in the faith and nonprofit sectors.

Using the Diocesan newsletter and presentations to local congregations, regular opportunities are being provided to Episcopalians in Upper South Carolina to respond to the world mission work of ERD in providing support and emergency assistance following the devastation of disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires, and earthquakes at home and abroad.

Our sisters and brothers along the coast in South Carolina and North Carolina were battered by Hurricane Florence in September and dozens of lives were lost in the immediate aftermath. Record-breaking rainfall, dangerous flooding and extensive damage to tens of thousands of homes and farms will mean that long term recovery will be needed for years—especially in communities that have not fully recovered from Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

Episcopal Relief & Development’s US Disaster team worked closely with our neighbor Dioceses and the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry to provide urgent assistance to migrant and seasonal farmworkers including water, food, cleaning supplies, hygiene kits, clothing and transportation

5 to safe locations and by providing critical support such as food, water, gas cards, cleaning supplies as well as day care programs.

At the 2009 General Convention, Lent was officially designated as a time to encourage dioceses, congregations and individuals to remember and support the life-saving work of Episcopal Relief & Development. We encourage every parish in the dioceses to celebrate Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday on the first Sunday in Lent, or another convenient Sunday during the Lenten season. Contact the Diocesan office to request speakers or promotional materials to increase awareness and support for ERD.

During the past year, Deacon Ervolina represented the Diocese as a member of South Carolina Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (SCVOAD) which is responsible for coordinating the response of communities of faith to disasters throughout the state.

Our Diocese has a fully equipped Diocesan Disaster Response Trailer stocked with tools and supplies that can be used following a regional or national disaster. Volunteers can be deployed quickly and efficiently and directed, in coordination with VOAD groups in the affected areas. Currently, the trailer is stored at St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, Columbia.

For 2019, the Statement of Mission Request includes a new effort to encourage Episcopal congregations to prepare for disasters with 15 $100 mini-grants. • Who qualifies? o Congregations who utilize Episcopal Relief & Development’s Comprehensive Preparedness Planning Guide for Congregations and Parishes to establish a Parish Disaster Leadership Team that will create a plan for responding to a local disaster including completion of the Episcopal Asset Map. • How do they receive their funds? o Submit a copy of the parish plan to Episcopal Relief & Development Committee (electronic preferred) along with a request by the Senior Warden for the grant. • What may the funds be spent on? o Purchase of preparedness supplies (like First Aid Kits) or to offset the costs of producing the plan

Additionally, travel to annual Episcopal Relief and Development Network Meeting and Provincial Disaster Preparedness and Response Training: $1000.

Matthew 25 Grants

The purpose of a Matthew 25 grant is to encourage convocations and congregations to engage and expand ministries of compassion and justice that address the needs of the poor and at-risk in their own communities and throughout the world. All proposals must exhibit clear plans to sustain their ministries beyond the grant year.

2018 Matthew 25 Grant Recipients:

Grace Episcopal Church, Anderson – Community Garden Grace Church will expand the newly planted garden assist our neighbors living in a food desert with access to healthy food and to provide resources on preparing meals in an affordable manner and to include raised beds for the neighbors who are wheelchair bound.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Greenville – Textile Village Service Corps The Textile Village Service Corps aims to combine a need for spiritual growth in the young adults in our community and a need for more active people to help in the work of the low-income neighbors.

St. Francis Episcopal Church, Greenville--Hispanic Community Assistance Speakers The ministry of St. Francis consists of a holistic approach to the Latino community embracing their spiritual needs as well as access to help to address the special needs and situations that they face. St. Francis Church will have a lawyer give classes on preparing Power of Attorney packets in the event of deportation, hold a workshop on Immigration Law, classes in Child Development, and provide school supplies to children who do not have Medicaid so are not eligible for the bags provided by United Way.

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Columbia—Fresh Start Fresh Start is a program designed to provide free laundry service, showers, clothing, and a food pantry. Fresh Start needs to expand its services. The expansion service would include the purchase of bus tickets for the clients most of whom have no transportation other than public transport.

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Spartanburg-- Ruby Mae’s Attic

Ruby Mae’s Attic seeks empower victims of domestic abuse to become independent, productive members of our community. We provide personal care items and occasional gift packages for children to help alleviate the stress and cost associated with the holidays, birthdays, etc. Ruby Mae’s Closet is using Thistle Farms in Nashville, Tennessee as a model as we expand our ministry.

Trinity Cathedral, Columbia -Bishop’s Art Institute Trinity Cathedral in collaboration with St. Lawrence Place and the Bishops’ Public Education Initiative launched a pilot program of Suzuki recorder classes for children who live at St. Lawrence Place. The goal is to continue this class in the fall and to expand to other offerings. The first expansion will include plucked strings and piano. A major goal of this project is to have students across economic divides study music together.

Reports from 2017 Recipients of Matthew 25 Grants:

The Episcopal Church of the Ridge, North Augusta, SC-Kangaroo Kids Backpack Ministry The grant enabled the Daughters of the King of The Episcopal Church of the Ridge along with Mount Calvary Lutheran Church to provide 49 children with six meals a week during the school year. St. Francis Church, Greenville, SC-Outreach services to the Latino Community (See above). St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Columbia, SC- Fresh Start (See above). St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Spartanburg, SC- Ruby Mae’s Attic (See above). The Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, Rock Hill-Little Street Pantry The Little Street Pantry has met a great need in the community and continues to do so. People have been able to have access to food when they had nothing else. Children and youth from the parish have learned a great deal from filling the pantry on a regular basis and have seen what a difference it makes understanding the needs of the community.

The following appeared in EDUSC News:

In June of 2017, The Church of Our Saviour, Rock Hill, received a Matthew 25 grant to put up a Little Street Pantry in front of our church. This pantry helps to fill the needs of people in the community. Several times a day the pantry is filled and emptied of snacks, water bottles, juice, toiletries, seasonal items (hats, gloves, socks, rain ponchos), and really anything that people want to donate. This pantry is located on the sidewalk in front of our parish hall. It is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. There are no forms to fill out to receive items from the pantry, no one judges or counts the number of items that people take. Anyone can donate items at anytime, no amount is too small. We have a collection box for donations in our parish hall that church members can place items in to be put in the pantry later. The Rock Hill community has been wonderful in helping us keep our pantry stocked. Most of our pantry visitors are homeless and many have stopped to tell us thank you and how much they appreciate this ministry. It has been a great reminder to us all that we are all ”neighbors helping neighbors”. So please come and “take what you need, leave what you can, and come back often!”

South Carolina Bishops’ Public Education Initiative (BPEI)

This Initiative works to draw people from the denominations it represents into active support of high-quality public education for all children in South Carolina. The Initiative has expanded to include the A.M.E, A.M.E. Zion and C.M.E. churches and continues to build on its work of connecting people to opportunities for this service.

All Our Children, a nation network of church-school partnerships, hosted a Symposium at Trinity Cathedral 16-18 January 2018. On behalf of the BPEI, a group of education advocates from around the state helped to plan and staff this event. Ideas were exchanged, support given and received.

The Bishops hosted two days of Advocacy Training and Action in support of the Initiative’s legislative goals. People came to Columbia from around the State for this training. Calls were made on Legislators and several Caucuses. This exercise was well received and will be repeated in 2019

The Bishops hosted their annual breakfast for members of the South Carolina State Legislature in the spring of 2018. Conversations and actions of mutual support continue with Molly Spearman, State Superintendent of Education. These connections represent some of the ways the Initiative is known for its commitment to education and the teaching profession.

In collaboration with Trinity Cathedral and St. Lawrence Place, the Initiative continued a program to bring high level arts education to underserved children. The beginning classes were Suzuki recorder lessons taught by Mary Waldo. With the help of a Matthew 25 Grant, this program is expanding to include voice and piano lessons. Students from Logan Elementary School will be the initial target.

The Voorhees Scholars Program: Fourteen rising ninth graders at Denmark-Olar High School spent a week in residence at Voorhees College as the first class of Voorhees Scholars. They will continue to meet one Saturday each month throughout the school year to participate in team- building and academic enrichment activities. The program is designed to tap academically gifted students who may not have college in their sites to set higher education as a goal. The students are introduced to a number of skills and experiences which will help them reach this goal. The Program received a grant from Province IV which made launching it possible. The Voorhees Scholars program was awarded a UTO grant at General Convention for 2019. SOM funds and other grants will allow the program to continue and expand.

Camp AIR (Adventures In Reading) expanded in two ways this summer. The residential model continued at Camp Gravatt but moved from the Conference side to Camp side. This incorporation

9 was seamless and well received all around. Plans are being made for extending the reach of Camp AIR at Gravatt in 2019.

St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields offered a day camp version of Camp AIR last summer. Plans are in the works to expand next summer. Replication of this model in other locations and collaboration with congregations in the BPEI are two ways this will happen. SOM funds designated for Camp AIR will make further expansion feasible.

Sustainable Development Goals

Formerly known as Millennium Development Goals, these are funds mandated by resolutions of the 83rd and 84th Diocesan Conventions. Diocesan SDG funds for 2018 were disbursed to support our long-standing ministries in the Central Plateau of Haiti and support the work of our Diocesan missionaries, Cameron and Roberto Vivanco, helping families in extreme poverty in Quito, Ecuador.

Ecuador Programs

EDUSC missionaries in Ecuador, Cameron and Roberto Vivanco, continue to provide a variety of programs working with the most vulnerable people in Quito and two surrounding remote rural areas. In the past year they transplanted the first ever Cursillo from a team sent by EDUSC to the Episcopal Church in Ecuador Denter, in addition to overseeing the eighth Diocesan Happening event. It was another busy year for organizing and hosting short-term vision/mission groups including groups from St. Mary’s (Richmond, VA), Chapel of the Cross (Chapel Hill, NC), Sewanee (Sewanee,TN), St. Peter’s (Fernandina Beach, FL), St. John’s Methodist (Rock Hill), St. John’s Tallahassee, FL), a joint team from Holy Cross (Simpsonville), St. John’s (Columbia), Grace (Anderson), and St. James (Greenville), as well as the McMillan Family of Spartanburg.

The Vivancos also direct Education=Hope in Ecuador to support the education of 340 students in Ecuador that are in desperate and difficult situations. EDUSC funding supports students at three Episcopal churches (Buen Pastor, Cristo LIberador, and Emaus) to help with tuition, supplies, transportation, or uniforms. This academic year we are supporting 56 students.

They are also involved in various music ministries and leadership positions in the organizations that provide platforms for ministry in Ecuador (the English Fellowship Church and Youth World), as well as engaged with many local parishes in EDUSC.

Here is an example of the ways in which EDUSC is assisting:

The Laguatasig Family at the Episcopal Church Buen Pastor: The mother of three children disappeared three years ago; it is assumed that the children’s father was the culprit and in fact killed her. He is since been jailed for drug-trafficking charges. The children live with their grandmother. The grandmother is also caring for a daughter with a disability and the grandmother is also fighting cancer. A gift from EDUSC through Education = Hope is the only way that the grandmother can provide for the education of the children, since they can’t afford uniforms or meals. They live in free government housing in the city, however, they do not have power, as they cannot afford to pay the bill. They scavenge for discarded food at the local curb market. We celebrate that in the midst of it all the grandmother has not lost hope or faith in God.

World Missions Committee

Your World Missions Committee continues to be very active in coordinating our diocesan ongoing focus on our work in Haiti, which is now close to four decades of sustained productive partnership with our brothers and sisters in and around Cange. Our partnership has continued to focus on the 3 main areas with which are work began: Access to safe water, education, and basic medical care. Our report will summarize briefly our projects in each area. 1) Safe water: As many of you remember, our work and Haiti began in the early 80s with the funding of a very simple public water system for the unincorporated village of Cange. As the village grew and our original system aged, we committed in 2008 to a substantial expansion and upgrade of this system which now provides the only chlorinated municipal water in the entire country. This also marked the creation of CEDC (Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries) and the extremely valuable partnership with the College of Engineering at Clemson University in the maintenance of the system in Cange as well as provision of safe water in several surrounding villages. As a result of these efforts, despite the widespread and deadly cholera outbreak in the Artebonite Valley, the village of Cange had zero locally contracted cases and therefore no mortality among villagers from our area. Provision of safe water continues to be our most important contribution in this mission and will continue to be a primary focus for our committee going forward. 2) Education: Again in the early 80s our diocese funded the first and only primary school in Cange, Ecole Bon Sauveur (EBS). The school began with K-5 and has grown over the 40 years to offer a Baccalaureate degree with a very high percentage pass rate on the national exams. When Partners in Health rather abruptly withdrew their funding of the school after the earthquake in 2010, EDUSC again stepped up to support education with a generous campaign to keep the school open. EBS again is under local operation. Our support is primarily in the form of scholarships to the most needy students; not only to students at EBS but also to other educational programs in the area. This funding is

administered through Zanmi Lasante (the Haitian arm of Partners in Health). Assisting in this support and development of a literate population has of course been a second major accomplishment for our diocese. Graduates of EBS have gone to earn university degrees in nursing, medicine, diplomacy, engineering, and divinity. Education therefore will continue to be a second major focus. 3) Medicine: Again in the early 80s our diocese began to send small medical teams to Cange to provide very basic medical care to the rural villagers who at that time had no other access. In the early years, we mentored Dr. Paul Farmer before his graduation from medical school and the creation of Partners in Health. We partnered with him in the 90s to build a sustainable clinic and hospital in the village of Cange, which for years was arguably the best in the Central Plateau. Our focus now in medicine is directed toward the diagnosis and treatment of epidemic hypertension in the rural villages around Cange. Access to these villages is difficult to say the least and we have worked with the community health workers in each village to provide blood pressure monitoring and medication refills to hypertensive citizens. Our Clemson interns with the support of Boeing are now looking into drawn technology to deliver some of these medications. The long-term health benefits of treating hypertension are well documented, helping to prevent strokes, renal failure, and heart failure each of which is particularly deadly in remote rural villages. The difficulty patients have in adhering to these daily medical regimens is also well documented not only in rural Haiti, but in South Carolina, as well! 4) Two final areas of support continue to be the agriculture program and vocational school started by Gillaine and Charles Warne and now spun off into independent programs. And finally, the beloved Artisans Center founded and named in honor of our own Jackie Williams.

In summary, our diocesan mission work in Haiti over these past 40 years has provided substantial, tangible benefit both to our Haitian brothers and sisters and to our Diocese. Thanks be to God for the wonderful opportunities we’ve been given to serve in longitudinal partnership with our Haitian friends.

COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN FORMATION Miss Molly Dougall, Chair

Canterbury Task Force Report to the 96th Convention of the Diocesan of Upper South Carolina

Canterbury Ministry is a Christian community in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition that makes disciples, transforms lives, and supports young adults through fellowship, worship, and service.

The Canterbury Ministry Task Force established by the 94th Convention of EDUSC spent several months assessing current Canterbury Ministries around the diocese, as well as working with Peer Ministers and active members of the ministries to discern future needs. Our primary finding is unsurprising: the overarching needs for current and future Canterbury Ministry are continuity of sacramental and pastoral presence and a dedicated space. Each Canterbury Community needs a pastoral and sacramental minister dedicated for a specific amount of time sufficient to provide continuity of presence, as well as a dedicated space that is a sanctuary, a gathering place, and a home away from home for continuity of place.

The means for providing for those needs are most likely to involve commitments of time, money, space, and ordained personnel. In most cases, this allocation of resources will require a partnership between existing worship communities and the diocese, which is established by entering into a covenant relationship. The Task Force feels that covenant partnerships emulate the Baptismal pattern for community and provide for regular renewal of relationship through liturgical action.

Covenant relationships require careful discernment. In developing guidelines for such a covenant partnership, the Canterbury Task Force identified several key questions of discernment regarding the need, purpose, and resources for creating or sustaining a Canterbury Community. The Canterbury Task Force is developing best practices for discerning and establishing covenant partnerships to provide continuity of presence and place.

The Canterbury Task Force is also working toward making the transition from task force to committee in recognition that our work is moving into long-term visioning and oversight of Canterbury Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina.

Winthrop Episcopal Lutheran Campus Ministry (WELCM)

Winthrop Episcopal Lutheran Campus Ministry (WELCM) hosts Tuesday night Gatherings for supper and Bible study, monthly worship and Eucharist services, and fellowship outings. WELCM students participate in at least one service project per semester and worship together weekly with our supporting Lutheran and Episcopal congregations.

Due to the recommitment of funding from the Diocese we were able to hire a dedicated staff member in 2018, as well as a Peer Minister. WELCM is pleased to have selected Olga-Maria Cruz (MDiv, PhD) as Campus Minister. Her position is currently ¾ time (28 hours per week), and we hope next year to have sufficient budgetary support to make it a full-time position. Diocesan funding also supported Dr. Cruz’s expenses for the interview process, relocation, and the set-up of an office space in the WELCM house (520 Aiken Avenue) where Dr. Cruz can organize her ministry and connect with students, building relationships that build their faith.

Taylor Gibby, a sociology senior who has been active in WELCM throughout her university career, is excited to serve WELCM as Peer Minister, starting Fall 2018. Our campus ministry was also able to participate in Vocare in the Spring of 2018, which was a very meaningful and enriching experience, and helped inspire Taylor to step into a more mature role of Christian service at WELCM.

Canterbury of Furman

Canterbury of Furman is more to our students than just another club. It’s an intimate space to gather and discuss personal faith and relate to one another in a place where all are welcome. Each week, we meet on Wednesday nights to debrief from the chaos of the week, eat dinner, think about ways to cultivate our faiths, and often do compline or Eucharist as well. Later on in the week, on Friday afternoons, we have a Bible Study, in which we are currently reading through the basics of Jesus’s story and conversations with the people. We also worship together on Sunday mornings at St. James. In addition to our basic programming, we are working towards offering various other opportunities for students to get involved with Canterbury, including collaborating with other campus religious groups for a rock climbing trip, potentially bringing a religious motivational speaker onto campus, and thinking about having a retreat. Our sweatshirts are coming in handy as the cold weather begins to come in, and the Student Involvement Fair at the beginning of the year allowed us to hand out some of our buttons and stickers to represent Canterbury on campus. Although our number of regular participants is small, the tight knit group provides for a much more intimate community who chooses to be very invested in Canterbury, which is very cool to see, and we’re excited to see what the year has to hold.

Canterbury of Spartanburg "Canterbury of Spartanburg has just begun with a small gathering of students from Wofford and Converse, who are building relationships with one another as well as Christ. Many of our members have been involved with the Episcopal Church and Diocesan. We have had a great start to the year with our Barbeque Cookout on Wofford's Campus in which we discussed what our goal was and what we would be interested in doing on and off campus. We have begun to meet bi-weekly in Wofford's Mickel Chapel in Ole Main around lunchtime on Thursdays conducting noonday prayer and having lunch afterwards to get to know one another better. We also have

begun to go carpool to services at Church of the Advent on Sunday with informal brunch after! It has already been a bright beginning for this ministry and as the school year ramps up we hope to give back to our local community, bring up ourselves as leaders, and work in a way that Christ would!" Submitted by John Cantey Presbyterian College Canterbury

Presbyterian College Canterbury has used our budget to advertise our presence as a student organization as well as strengthen fellowship within our group and in the local community. We out on an Ash Wednesday service on campus to have a more traditional service for the students. We invited other Canterbury's to join our service as well. Another event that we do is with All Saints, Clinton. We have an Episcopal tailgate with them before every home football game. Through the funds we get, we use the money for t-shirts, koozies, posters, and food for weekly meetings. We have dome some service throughout the school year. For example, we partnered with the students who are involved with the Laurens County Humane Society with a fundraiser for the Humane Society. We also periodically through the year, volunteer at the Humane Society in Laurens. Some students have come to church and invited their roommates and friends. The students have been looking forward to specific events that happen yearly at All Saints, Clinton and can not wait for them to happen again. Like PC Sunday at All Saints, Clinton.

Canterbury of Clemson

Canterbury of Clemson is a welcoming fellowship of faith building, exploring, and celebrating with food and music. We meet every Wednesday at 6 pm for a meal prepared by generous parishioners and either a program or Eucharist. We continue to be involved with breakfast team at Holy Trinity, and we appreciate all of their support. We’re off to a busy start – full of fellowship and lots of new faces! In September, several of our members participated in the first CU Pilgrimage of Truth-Telling and Remembrance, a historic walk around Clemson University focused on history and reconciliation. This October, we went on a retreat to North Carolina where we had time to rejuvenate our prayer lives and to rekindle our relationships with God amidst the stresses of college life and midterms. We look forward to more opportunities to grow as a community in the upcoming semester. Submitted by Alena Senf and Aynsley Hartney

Canterbury of Columbia Canterbury of Columbia is an intentional group of young adults, working together to deepen our walk with Christ in community. This year, we have had a fairly consistent turnout of around 8-10 young people, gathering at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. There, we alternate between nights of strict fellowship and casual conversation, usually finished off with An Order for Compline;

15 discussion led by Fr. Dorian Del Priore or a peer leader; and Eucharist. Many of our members are lifelong Episcopalians who met through events in South Carolina, but we also have several members who have come because of roommates and friends and who are finding that there is always a place for them at our table. Canterbury has gotten several of our members plugged in to the greater community at Trinity Cathedral, while others are members at different churches in the area. Looking ahead, we are working on opportunities for different trips we may take as a group: mission, pilgrimage, and retreat. Our budget will help lower the cost of those trips, making them more accessible to the group. We have also used our budget for t-shirts and stickers, which help strengthen our sense of community, as well as for Thursday night dinners, which allow for valuable time in fellowship with one another.

Education for Ministry – EfM

Education for Ministry or EfM was developed in 1975 by the Sewanee School of Theology as a program for theological education at a distance, combining textual studies with theological reflection. EfM has grown over the last 40+ years and is now established as the premier program for developing an informed and knowledgeable laity used throughout the Anglican communion. Although planned as a four-year program, participants just commit to one year at a time. Each group has a mentor(s) and 6 – 12 members and meets weekly in a seminar setting for 36 weeks. The Diocese of Upper South Carolina has nineteen (19) active and trained mentors in eleven (11) groups located throughout the diocese and over 84 current participants. This is down slightly from the 2017 numbers due to the consolidation of two midlands groups and the loss of one upstate group.

Clergy support has been crucial to the growth of the EfM ministry and we really appreciate the clergy who have helped us “get out the word” about EfM. In spring 2018, Sewanee sponsored information sessions for EfM alumnae in both the upstate and the midlands to spread the word about new directions EfM is taking with the Beecken Center support.

Sewanee requires that mentors receive authorized training at least every 18 months and one of the major goals of the EDUSC program has been to implement a regular training program for our mentors. We had our fifth diocesan-wide training August 23 – 26 and offered courses in both Foundations and Formation (Non-Violent Communication). The program was held at Kanuga and, with 24 mentors registered for the training (including some from out of state), it broke all previous attendance records and Sewanee actually had to send in a third trainer to accommodate the crowd. This training allows mentors from across the diocese to get to know each other and share their real life challenges and spiritual journeys as they refine leadership skills. One insight from the sessions was “Listening is our modern-day foot washing,” Submitted by Terri Bailey

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW)

The Episcopal Church Women held its 97th Annual Convention at Church of the Redeemer, Greenville, in September of 2018. This year’s Convention was held jointly with the Annual Fall Assembly of the Daughters of the King. Both groups had separate business meetings, but programming and fellowship was shared. Mark Tidsworth of Pinnacle Leadership provided the programming, focusing on the SHIFT movement. Mark challenged attendees to think of how women’s ministries can continue to be relevant for those seeking involvement in a post-modern world. The 96th Annual Convention was held in February of 2018 but was not well attended. This precipitated the decision to host a joint day with Daughters of the King, in order to minimize obligations for members and to maximize attendance for both groups.

In 2018, the ECW supported the following annual mission projects: · the World Mission Project, Kimia Center for Neglected Tropical Disease Outreach through American Leprosy Missions; · the National Mission Project, The National Books Fund of the Church Periodical Club; and · the Diocesan Mission Project, The Bena Dial Scholarship Fund.

The Diocese of Upper South Carolina collected $16,754.18 for the United Thank Offering in spring of 2018; it has not yet had its fall ingathering. Vorhees College received $7,700 from the national granting fund to support the Vorhees Scholars Program.

The ECW also continued its support for the seminarians of our diocese, sending each of them monies to help with the purchase of their books. The ECW awarded three scholarships of $2,000 from the Bena Dial Scholarship Fund for higher education: to Jack Fleischer of St. John’s, Columbia, to Jamie Holodak of St. Bartholomew’s, North Augusta, and to Lamar Buchanan of St. Peter’s, Greenville. Because of the untimely death of Jack Fleischer, these monies were redirected to the scholarship fund set up in his name at St. John’s.

The Order of the Daughters of the King

Members of the Order of the Daughters of the King are women and girls who are at least seven years old who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life, and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where we are on our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others.

Daughters of the King in Upper South Carolina There are 39 chapters in the diocese; 38 are Episcopalian and one is Lutheran. Several Daughters- At-Large are Anglican or Roman Catholic. Total membership is 568 women. Most chapters meet once a month for communal prayers, study and service. The Diocesan Assembly meets twice a year, a retreat in the spring and a meeting in the fall. All interested women are welcome to attend assembly retreats and meetings to learn more about the order. Three or more women in a parish, mission or diocesan institution may form a chapter.

Vision Statement of the Order Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world.

Order vs. Organization A Christian order is a community of men or women living under a religious rule. Because Daughters of the King accept a Rule of Life, we define ourselves as an order, not an organization. Our community is found primarily in our local chapters, but it extends around the world. We don’t just enroll as members and attend meetings. After a three-month period of study and discernment, each new member takes vows to uphold the two Rules of the Order, the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.

Women of All Ages Membership in the Order is open to women at every stage of life. The diversity of different ages strengthens and enriches our adult, or senior, Daughters of the King chapters. Younger women benefit from the discipleship of experienced spiritual mentors, and older women are invigorated by the fresh faith and energy of youth. Many senior chapters help spread the Kingdom to the next generation by sponsoring and supporting a Junior Daughters of the King chapter at their churches.

Junior Daughters of the King Junior Daughters are young women and girls from 7 to 21 years of age, who make a promise to pray daily and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Membership is extended to all baptized girls, regardless of denomination. Junior Daughters meet in chapters of three or more girls, under the guidance of a senior Daughter who serves as Directress. Upon admission, Junior Daughters receive a silver Greek fleury cross with the initials FHS, For His Sake, as a symbol of their promise of daily prayer and service. One chapter in our diocese is a Junior Chapter.

Youth Ministry

Happening Happening is a national retreat that is interpreted in unique and new ways throughout many dioceses and even around the world. The mission of Happening is to help youth grow in their faith while meeting new people and creating a family. The candidates, or “Happeners”, enter into a community of love and support. Those on Happening staff are not just there to support the candidates during the weekend but to continue to support their faith. I have seen God present in every aspect of Happening. I see Him in the staff members and the excitement they have when giving the candidates a new surprise. I see Him in the candidates’ faces as they finally stop resisting swaying along to the songs and I see their smiles radiate in the sun. I’m never disappointed with my time at Happening. My expectations are always exceeded. I’ve been on staff for two Happenings and I have the honor of serving as the Lay Rector for Happening #80 this November. I am so excited to be able to lead the staff in creating a memorable and enlightening experience. I am ready to see the inspiring group of God’s children who will be attending and to see them recognize the overwhelming and indescribable amount of love and support that is with them. Happening has shaped my faith in a big way. Not just from the three days I’m worshiping under the pines at Camp Gravatt, but from the friendships and bonds I’ve created. Happening is an experience where we leave all of our stresses and troubles behind and let God take our hand and lead us on a renewing journey. Submitted by Alex Cheek

DYLC The Diocesan Youth Leadership Committee is a youth-led committee made of about 25 youth and adults from across the diocese. This committee’s main purpose is to design and lead retreats for middle and high school youth that intend to execute our mission: to make, equip, and send mature disciples of Christ. Youth members of DYLC act as retreat coordinators, select and organize retreat staff, give talks, facilitate small groups, and manage budgets, among other tasks. Through this, we develop leadership skills and grow in Christ and community, learning to speak our faith and become the hands and feet of Christ. Since last November, middle and high school youth have had six retreats: Happening #78 and #79, SMASH, New Beginnings, the 5th Grade Bridge Retreat, and our very first Converge for high school. High schoolers that attended SMASH explored how we are all “lost and found” in Christ, and the ways in which we can take up our crosses as Christians. At New Beginnings, middle schoolers experienced God’s love and grew in their love of themselves, others, and Christ. At the Bridge retreat, 5th graders were introduced to diocesan youth ministry, and discovered how to walk as “children of the light” through middle school. During Converge, our newest event, Christ Church hosted over 40 high schoolers for a low-barrier, 18-hour retreat that was full of fellowship and explored topics such as our identity in Christ. We are looking forward to Happening #80 and our middle school Converge later this

19 year, and SMASH, Happening #81, the 5th Grade Bridge Retreat, and Be Unconventional, our spring retreat for middle schoolers, coming up in early 2019. We are happy to welcome new members to DYLC each year, and invite the viewpoints and ideas each member brings to our community.

Pre-Lenten Clergy Retreat Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John January 29-31, 2018 at Gravatt Conference Center

The clergy of the diocese were invited to live more fully into the focus of our diocesan strategic vision: Making, Equipping, and Sending Mature Disciples of Christ during the Pre-Lenten Clergy Retreat, January 29- 31, 2018 at the Gravatt Conference Center. The focus of our gathering was Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John. The retreat followed materials produced by the brothers of the Society of St. John the Evangelist and Virginia Theological Seminary. Clergy from around the diocese offered various reflections on different passages of scripture. The reflections were then followed by different offerings of guided spiritual practice.

Fall Conference for Clergy & Spouses September 23-25, 2018 Kanuga Conference Center, NC

On 23-25 of September, the diocesan clergy and their spouses met at Kanuga Conference Center and participated in conversations led by the Rev. Jay Sidebotham. Fr. Sidebotham is one of the innovators behind Renewal Works: A ministry of Forward Movement. During our time at Kanuga, with Holy Scripture as a guide, Fr. Sidebotham shared with the clergy, as well as facilitated conversations around, what Renewal Works learned from research data they collected around forming a culture of discipleship. The goal of the conference was to inform and support the clergy of our diocese in living into our common vision of making, equipping and sending mature Disciples of Christ. Submitted by The Rev.

Spouses of Clergy: Growing in Support of One Another

…The Annual September Clergy and Spouses Conference at Kanuga provided a much-appreciated opportunity for clergy spouses to enjoy social events, to meet new members, to participate in scheduled community worship services, and to be welcomed as audience members in lecture- presentations for the clergy.

…Diocesan Convention offered social events with refreshments for spouses of clergy, generously hosted in the Horvath home, on both Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

…Other special events included the Advent luncheons at Still Hopes and the Poinsett Club for retired Clergy and Spouses, the Advent/ Christmas party at the Bishop’s residence, and a gathering after Easter, in the Greenville home of the Reverends Peggy Muncie and Stephen Bolle.

The Chaplaincy to the Retired

The Chaplaincy to the Retired is a ministry to the retired clergy, their spouses, and their widows. This is a program of the Church Pension Fund, with the bishop in each diocese appointing a “Chaplain to the Retired” for that diocese. In our diocese, a committee works closely with the Chaplain. The Chaplain to the Retired also serves as a primary point of contact for the CPF.

Beginning this year, the chaplain receives a small stipend from the diocese/SoM. Some additional funds are provided by the SoM to assist with other expenses of the Chaplaincy.

The Church Pension Fund pays all expenses for members of our chaplaincy team when they attend the annual provincial or national conference. This year's conference was a Province IV Conference and was held at a conference center near Tampa, Florida. Attending were Wayne Kinyon and Lee Quinn.

The CPF also provides us with updated lists of all the retirees who are in the pension fund system and are connected to this diocese. This list consists of all those retired clergy, spouses, and widows who are canonical residents of our diocese (wherever they live) plus those canonically resident elsewhere but residing physically within our diocese. When we add a few others, such as retired deacons, to those identified by the CPF, the list for our diocese comes to about two hundred individuals.

Our retirees bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and history to our congregations and institutions. In fact, in the United States, the great majority of Episcopal congregations are relatively small, with many unable to afford full-time pastoral leadership. Many of these congregations would have closed but are doing well under the seasoned leadership of our retired clergy. Also many of our retired clergy serve part-time in larger churches or do supply work. Also, our retirees (clergy, spouses, and widows) serve on many boards, committees, and programs. Of course, being retirees, we can also say, “No thank you.” And we range in age, so some are younger spouses still employed and some are very limited by declining health.

We continue to have fun gatherings at Kanuga or the beach. Again we are providing some treats at the diocesan convention. In addition to our annual Advent luncheon at Still Hopes with Bishop and Mrs. Waldo as our hosts, we now have a luncheon in the Upstate. We sent out birthday cards, published our quarterly newsletter, and every three years produced the Enriching Your Retirement Conference, held at the Cathedral (next in 2020). A focus of 2018 has been to obtain correct information (such as addresses and telephone numbers) on our retirees. We are planning another education and fellowship day for March in Clinton.

Serving on the Committee are Betty Jean Ireland, Eleanor Whitehead, Lee Quinn, Robert Riegel, Phil Purser, Chris Chiles, and Donna Lockett. Also, serving are Convocational Chaplains to the Retired David Thompson (Gravatt), Lee Quinn (Upstate), and Bill Greeley (Catawba), with d”Rue Hazel assisting us from the Diocesan Office.

We may be called retirees, but many of our rocking chairs are very lonely.

COMMISSION ON THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION The Rev. Furman Buchanan, Chair

The Commission on The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion works to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible, the mission of the diocese is integrated into the life and work of Province IV, General Convention, and the larger Episcopal Church, as well as our life and work in The Anglican Communion.

It is also the task of this commission to see that the life and work of Province IV and The Episcopal Church is communicated to the members of our congregations. The Commission also addresses matters concerning our common life in The Anglican Communion through The Episcopal Church.

In 2018 the members of our Commission prepared for, and participated in, the Province IV meeting in June, which preceded the General Convention. Likewise, all deputies and alternates also participated in the 79th General Convention in July.

Some of us had specific legislative committee assignments at the General Convention. This included: Bishop Waldo, Racial Justice & Reconciliation; Mike Flanagan, Governance & Structure; Angela Daniel and Scooty Burch, World Mission; and Mary Anne Park, Privilege & Courtesy. The rest of the deputies and alternates attended many of the remaining legislative committees in order to maximize our awareness of the legislative developments at the General Convention. We managed to keep one another informed at our deputation’s nightly meetings in order to participate most meaningfully in the general and joint assemblies of the House of Deputies and House of Bishops.

One of the most significant developments at the 79th General Convention was not a legislative matter. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry announced the Way of Love as a set of faith practices that every person, mission, parish, diocese or any other Episcopal institution can embrace in order to lead a more Jesus-centered life.

Rooted in the ancient spiritual practices of the early Church, these seven specific aspects of following in the way of Jesus offer a pathway of transformation—individually and corporately— for us as they have for Christians in every century since the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing new about the disciplines of this kind of Rule of Life, but the language expressing these spiritual practices has been updated in order to communicate more broadly and more clearly throughout the Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement.

Resources are available through the Episcopal Church to discover, share, and practice the Way of Love. On behalf of our bishop and deputation, I encourage you to take a closer look at incorporating these practices into your life of faith and into the life of faith of your community within our diocese.

A second non-legislative, but still important, aspect of the 79th General Convention was the opportunity for bishops and deputies to come together in general assemblies to hear and then discuss presentations about three timely issues in the life of our Church and in our own individual lives. These three contemporary priorities have been given particular weight in the triennial budget of the Episcopal Church. They are: Racial Reconciliation, Creation Care, and Evangelism. Each pertains in various important ways to relationships that arise from faithful commitment to our baptismal covenants. They also reflect areas in which there is contemporary brokenness, distortion, and neglect that present faithful, healing opportunities for the Church to bear witness to the way of Jesus, the way of love.

The 79th General Convention website is still active: https://www.generalconvention.org/ At this site you can view a comprehensive list of all the legislative actions of the General Convention. Bishop Waldo and our deputation provided a substantial report of the General Convention in the fall edition of our diocesan magazine, Crosswalk. Another helpful resource for reliable information about the details of resolutions which may be of particular interest is the searchable archive of Episcopal News Service.

In conclusion, I want to express our deputation’s gratitude for the diocesan staff members who helped in our preparations before the General Convention, and also provided important support to us during our extended stay in Austin, Texas. The nature of serving in this role is a round-the- clock commitment that begins early each morning and concludes late each night. Members of our diocesan staff helped our deputation to remain focused on what you elected us to do, and we are thankful for their ministry in this.

Thank you also for your prayers for our bishop and deputation this summer during the 79th General Convention. We appreciate your support and interest.

Missions of the Diocese

The Episcopal Church of the Cross, Columbia Our submission for the Diocesan Convention Journal captures the joy we have experienced in serving our community children for the past six years. Our Monday School/Tuesday Times after- school programs have lovingly nourished, an average of twenty vulnerable children, through trusting relationships, communal meals, academic assistance and worship. Several of these children (middle-school age) attend Sunday services each week, unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. Our fervent hope is to one day have their parents join them. A recent study in the

American Journal of Epidemiology, found that children attending religious services were better protected from depression, substance abuse and other risky behaviors. Our experience to date supports this research finding. Thanks be to God!

Our Mission for Children has transformed our Church gardens, as we introduced our youngsters to the gratification that comes with planting, nourishing and harvesting flowers and vegetables. Several children who attend both the after-school program and Sunday services, benefit from participation in the Youth and Junior Scholar programs. Through these programs, they are active in Church life, serving as acolytes, ushers, greeters, choir members, musicians, and healing ministry members. Through the Youth Scholar program they learn what it means to be servant leaders. Last year, the Youth Scholars initiated a Thanksgiving campaign to feed needy families in the community. Forty-four baskets of food were distributed to families through donations solicited from grocery stores and local merchants.

The Church of the Cross is prayerfully and actively honoring Christ’s call to care for “the least of these”. As individuals, and collectively, we grow exponentially richer in service to others. The precious Diocesan funds we receive for this vital mission for children, are helping to ensure that we are heeding Christ’s call by creating a beacon of hope for the future. Submitted by Genevieve Alert St. Augustine of Canterbury, Aiken St. Augustine has had a great year! We have experienced growth numerically, financially, and spiritually. Fr. Dan Wagner has been instrumental in this growth. His attention to the pastoral care of this congregation has been a very welcome addition to our mission. We strive to be caring and loving members of this community. This furthers the mission of Making, Equipping, and Sending Mature Disciples of Christ.

Our ongoing commitment to Outreach continues to grow as well. Donations are distributed quarterly to local charities. We call these charities our outreach partners. Our support includes a monetary donation as well as needed items suggested by the individual charities. Our front pew is usually filled with donated goods to be blessed and distributed. Our outreach partners supported this year are: All Saints, Beech Island (food bank); St. Luke’s, Columbia (homeless support); Nurture Home, Aiken (transitional housing for woman and families due to abuse); and Walking Tall Ministries, Aiken (feeding ministry to “The Valley” in Aiken Co). We have also given support to victims of Hurricane Florence and several donations to charities as needed. The congregation continues support at St. Thaddeus’ soup kitchen.

We have a dedicated and growing Order of the Daughters of the King. They provide a constant source of prayer support for any occasion or need. Recently three new Daughters were admitted into the sisterhood with a beautiful service in their honor. Another organization at St. Augustine

25 is the Order of St. Luke. They have a monthly meeting for healing and prayer. This group is also continuously growing.

The music ministry at St. Augustine has been improving exponentially. The choir is growing as well as the level of music. We are regularly treated to anthems showcasing their talents. The former director began the formation and the new director is taking it to a higher level. Musical events are planned for the near future.

The Mission is still to become a Parish. We strive to achieve the goals necessary to obtain this status. Our current ASA is 76. This has increases substantially over the past year. We continue to receive financial support from the diocese but are working to lower our request each year. The Diocese has been instrumental in assisting the growth of this mission and for this we are extremely grateful.

St. Christopher’s, Spartanburg In January of this year the Mission Committee and Congregation received the news that our Vicar, Jim Trimble, would be leaving St. Christopher’s to return to Kentucky to be closer to his family and at the end of July his transition was complete. St. Cristopher’s with the assistance of the Diocese is in the midst of a search process for an interim Vicar. However, with Jim’s announcement and departure St. Christopher’s has continued to move forward with our plans for continued growth. With the able assistance of dedicated supply priests and our deacon the attendance at our Sunday services has remained stable if not increased. We revamped our Wednesday Taize service into a Celtic Evening Prayer service followed by a meal and Christian Formation program and, with this change of pace, attendance at the Wednesday service and program has increased at least three fold.

Much work has been, or is being, done for the improvement and maintenance of the facilities including a new roof on the church, revamping the gymnasium ceiling and lighting (made possible by the generosity of some of our members) and the installation of a new swing set in our playground. Also, with a donation from our Daughters of the King Chapter, the courtyard area has been redesigned and upgraded.

Earlier this year our church agreed to be the sponsor of a “Family Model” cub scouting program. The program began with a mere handful of scouts and adult leader volunteers and has now quickly grown to enjoy the participation of over thirty boys and girls. Also as an Eagle Scout project by one of our members a class room and the church library were cleaned up, organized, repainted and redecorated.

Our church website has been redesigned and will be going live very soon. The redesign will make the website more appealing and easier to navigate, as well as allowing access by mobile devices.

Our financial situation has remained very stable. Pledges made for 2018 are on track to be nearly fully honored and significate non-pledge gifts have thus far been received.

Our partnership with Houston Elementary School has gone through a change with the school closing and its student population merging with another school and moving into the newly constructed Drayton Mills Elementary. With this change members of St. Christopher’s are collecting food for a weekend backpack program, collecting clothing, and collecting school supplies as directed by guidance counselors. Members are also participating in a program where retired educators are devoting time to help the teachers in any way they need. The new scout troop at St. Christopher’s has scouts now from the new school, further connecting the church to the school. All of these activities are a part of a multi-pronged partnership between St. Christopher’s and Drayton Mills Elementary. Submitted by Lex Wray, Senior Warden

COMMISSION ON THE DIOCESE

The Commission on the Diocese is responsible for stewardship of the financial and property resources of the Diocese. The COD coordinates activities related to investment, finance, health and property insurance, stewardship, loans, audits, architecture, personnel, and institutions of the diocese. The annual Statement of Mission is prepared by the Statement of Mission Committee, a primary committee of the Commission on the Diocese.

Real property matters formed a substantial part of the COD’s agenda this year. The Commission continues to oversee the former York Place property pending a decision by the Diocese on its future use. We have a proposal from Still Hopes to use the property as a combined entity providing multiple levels of moderately-priced senior living facilities along with a child development center, providing opportunities for multigenerational interaction between senior residents and youth. There has been substantial support for the concept from the York area communities and interest in collaboration from Winthrop University. A feasibility study was conducted to assess need for the housing proposed and to identify price sensitivity; results showed strong interest in the concept. The COD oversees maintenance of the property, which currently is undertaken by Still Hopes. As the end of 2018 approaches, the COD and Still Hopes await results of the capital campaign feasibility study currently underway to determine whether the proposal is financially viable.

The Commission also continues to work with the congregation of Trinity Abbeville, where a very small congregation has been worshipping in a historic building in need of significant rehabilitation

to make it structurally sound. COD is exploring, together with the Trinity Mission Committee and Preservation South Carolina, whether a plan to share responsibility for the property can allow the congregation to continue to occupy its traditional home while seeking outside investment for rehabilitation and ongoing upkeep.

Other property-related matters this year have included the mission church of St. Paul’s, Batesburg; the consolidation of Grace Church in Ridge Spring, Trinity in Edgefield, and Our Savior in Trenton into one congregation with three campuses, to be known as Church of the Ridge; the need for mold remediation at Diocesan House; and support for the Fresh Start ministry of St. Luke’s, Columbia, a mission begun to provide laundry services to the homeless in Columbia but which has expanded to provide food, clothing, medical care, help with benefits, and other services to a community in need.

As always, COD reviewed financial reports of the Diocese, including preparation of the annual Statement of Mission, investment reports, and audit reports. COD, together with other Commissions, is working on ways to identify indicia of ongoing congregational health, some of which will include a parish’s financial practices, compliance with Diocesan reporting requirements, and acceptance of the Episcopal pledge. Other financial matters undertaken this year have included continuing work on implementing best practices as recommended by our auditors. In all its work, COD has been the beneficiary of the professional expertise, diligence, and careful financial stewardship of our Diocesan controller, Anna MacDermut, and our Treasurer, Bill Sandberg. Their work has allowed us to be confident that funds entrusted to the Diocese are being used as intended and that financial records are accurate and complete, enabling financial support for our common mission of making, equipping, and sending disciples of Jesus Christ to do God’s work in our world.

Kanuga Conference, Retreat and Camp Center When people turn onto Kanuga Chapel Road, something magical happens. Whether it’s their first visit or one of their innumerable pilgrimages to this sanctuary, the person and soul both know that indeed this is holy ground. Founded on Bishop Kirkman Finlay’s dream in 1928 and situated on 1,400 peaceful acres, Kanuga is blessed to welcome 25,000 guests annually to our multiple camps and retreat facilities.

This year is shaping up to be a great one. Guided by the principles, established last year, within our core values of Service, Respect, Sustainability and Stewardship, we are better equipped to determine if we are on the right path and fulfilling our goals. This year, one of the major tasks we have undertaken is getting clarity as to what is Kanuga’s Mission. With the help of a consultant, the board and leadership team, we are making progress in gaining this clarity and expect to be complete with our work before year’s end. Clarity of mission, with accurate information and data, is essential to our strategic planning and decision-making, it gives motivation and focus to our staff, and informs others of what we do.

Here’s a summary of steps we’ve already taken to strengthen our mission for the future.

• A reorganization of board and management to align with what we believe to be our Mission, which assists us in being more nimble and strategic as we approach our centennial in 2028. • Expanding Kanuga’s footprint in all areas of programming and seeking innovative partnerships. • Focusing development and marketing efforts on creating new relationships and reaching new audiences.

• Around campus, the most notable difference is in the dining rooms where our new buffet lines have increased efficiency as well as quality. Guests are thrilled, and the new lines are beautiful and work extremely well. • In 2018, we completed a total renovation of one of our Guest Houses and upgraded a 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage into a 4 bedroom, 4 bath cottage. Plans for 2019 already include the renovation of two additional historic cottages. • The Fitness Center has a second room now with aerobic equipment thanks to several donations. • Grounds look exceptional with the removal of many dead or dying trees, a cleaned-up entrance, and brand-new gas lit lamps in two pivotal locations. Flowerbeds are weeded regularly and are spectacular. • Initial stages of investigation and conceptual design on preserving the Chapel of the Transfiguration are complete. A timeline for capital improvements and fundraising is being planned. • Finalizing budgets to become a living wage employer in 2019.

These steps are just the beginning. So much more is being done to make Kanuga stronger and bolder in its mission. We have a bright future if we work together, embracing the fullness of who we are and supporting our purpose like never before.

All of us at Kanuga continue to be grateful to friends, supporters and partners in ministry from the Diocese of Upper South Carolina. We thank you for all you do to strengthen this special place for the future of a world of good. Submitted by Michael Sullivan and Jimmy Haden

Still Hopes Episcopal Retirement Community It has been said by Apple founder, Steve Jobs, that “Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity, not a threat.” Though we come from different fields of endeavor, I like to think Steve Jobs’ words ring quite true for what has caused Still Hopes to stand the test of time. In our profession, things are constantly changing and evolving. What one group of residents wanted for their life ten years ago, has little significance to what residents want today. Being able to sense that change, even as it is beginning to unfold, and to adapt accordingly, is an area where Still Hopes excels. Our focus in 2018 has not been just making our 44 acres the very best it can be, but also looking outside our walls to see how we can affect change across South Carolina.

On the Still Hopes campus, we are so close to opening the doors to our HealthPointe Project, our new home for skilled nursing and assisted living residents. The skilled nursing area will follow the cutting edge “small neighborhood” care model, by having three “neighborhoods”, each with 16 private rooms. Each neighborhood will have its own kitchen and distinct hearth and home

features that will help our residents feel these comforts of home. Our goal is to provide not just the very best healthcare possible, but also tend to the emotional and spiritual well-being of our residents, while they are in our care.

Outside the Still Hopes campus, we are working earnestly with the Diocese of Upper South Carolina to see if we can bring an intergenerational community to life in York, South Carolina. This community would not only provide a middle-market option for those in their retirement years, but it would also offer early childhood development programs to a community in need of this service. Our hope is that this community will, over time, serve as a blessing to seniors, young children, and youth by meeting each group’s needs, while also bringing them together in harmony so they learn the benefits of the interdependency all people have for one another.

In 2019, we are excited to see our HealthPointe Project come to fruition. We are also looking forward to seeing our WellPointe Project begin construction. WellPointe will have 80 new Independent Living apartments, along with new amenity features, and we have already pre-sold all 80 units. God has been extremely good to us here in West Columbia. Outside our walls, we are also hopeful that we will see great steps forward in the development of the York Place campus. Our goal is to continue fulfilling our mission, not just here in West Columbia, but to extend our reach across the state, perhaps even beyond. We are blessed by your continued support and prayers, and our fervent pledge is that we will continue to bless others with what God has given us. Blessings!
