PART II
The Forty-fourth Annual Diocesan Convention
28 ADDRESS BY THE RT. REV. KATHARINE JEFFERTS SCHORI ASSISTING BISHOP OF SAN DIEGO TO THE FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, POWAY NOVEMBER 10, 2017
Hand in Hand in Christ
It is very good to be here with you again. The last time I visited San Diego was for your convention several years ago. I clearly recall the distribution of “Blessing Bags” as part of that convention, and I’ve seen them in several congregations in recent months. You are indeed a blessing to the people around you, near and far.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have a longer sojourn with the people of this diocese during the search for your next diocesan bishop. The psalmist puts it this way, “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!”1 We are kin, and it’s an image of the kin-dom of God, and all God’s children living in peace. It’s an active and hopeful yearning that keeps us on The Way of Jesus, moving toward that godly dream. This convention’s theme is “Hand in Hand in Christ,” and it’s most assuredly the way to the kindom of God.
What’s a “hand”? It can be the appendage at the end of our arms that usually comes in mirror-image pairs. Hands are immensely creative instruments, and aside from our near relatives among the apes – and maybe octopuses – we’re one of the few creatures with such finely tuned and capable motor skills.
A hand can mean the orientation or direction of one of those mirror image appendages – a left-handed or a right- handed one. I was amazed recently to see that my 3 year old grandson has already internalized which way is left and which is right. We need to know if we’re turning in the right direction in order to find that dream of God.
A hand can be the assistance offered to another – like helping somebody climb out of a deep hole in the ground or a pool of tears. A hand can be an image of power or capacity – the raised fist of the 1968 Olympics, the economist’s ‘invisible hand of the market,’ or handing off the baton or a leadership role to another. A hand can also be celebrating the accomplishment or ability of another – and we’re going to do a fair bit of that kind of thanksgiving here this weekend.
Going hand in hand with Christ is a powerful shorthand for loving God, self, and neighbor, and moving toward God’s kindom of all creation, and the image is ancient. Listen to Isaiah: “The Lord called me before I was born; while I was in my mother’s womb he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”… I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” We are made in the image of God who has created like the hand of a potter; we are sheltered by God’s hand, and if we ever think God has forgotten us, Isaiah goes on to say, “I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.”2 The Hebrew is even more graphic – God has carved our image and name into those creative hands.
Think for a minute about the human work Jesus did with his hands. A carpenter or stone mason, he learned to shape the produce of tree and earth for human use. The work of our hands is meant to be a similar gift for those around us. He welcomed and blessed the people he met – and the sign we still use is about stretching out a hand. He blessed bread and wine and named those who shared that meal his body in this world. He invited others into relationship with him, called them friends, and asked what they wanted and needed. Only then, hand in hand, was healing claimed or food shared, or wisdom offered.
Jesus sought conversation and greater understanding with his opponents, reaching out his hands even in the face of death, and when death loomed at last, he handed his spirit back to God, and then in Resurrection, handed it on to his followers. As the body of Christ we are, as Teresa of Avila put it, the only hands he has in this world.
1 Psalm 133:1 NRSV 2 Isaiah 49:1-3,6,16 29
“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
We are meant to be those who welcome, bless, heal, teach and guide, and serve – together, as Christ’s body. There are abundant signs of loving and handfast solidarity across this Diocese of San Diego.
Partnership with the Diocese of Western Mexico is growing – a truck has been purchased with a grant from the United Thank Offering, and a small group will travel there in January to learn how we can be more effective partners.
A move is well in hand here to examine how more well-resourced congregations might walk hand in hand with others. The urge to collaborate is alive and growing, and we will continue to nurture that holy work of discerning where opportunities and gifts can meet, for mutual up building.
This diocese has a heritage of strong leadership in its elected bodies and diocesan staff – you have a handy crew! You are well equipped for the journey into new contexts. The mission shift work you’ve engaged in the last couple of years is encouraging greater collaboration as well as trying new ways. The will to go into the world and meet people where they are is part of walking together. It is what Jesus sends us to do, and what we’re charged with at the end of every worship service: GO! find God already at work, join hands, and seek the transformed world we call the reign of God.
I’ve seen that lively collaboration at the Episcopal Church Center, as people are welcomed as they are and for who they are, and invited into relationship. I see it in the relational evangelism of St. Luke’s and St. Mark’s. It’s happening in other contexts, including Episcopal Community Services’ programs and our varied chaplaincies. There is urgent interest in beginning this work anew at St. Anthony’s in the Desert. There is something deeply theological and appropriate about St. Hugh in Idyllwild engaging the wider community through disaster preparation. Who else but a church might help prepare us for death and new life?
Other congregations are claiming resurrection life through handing off programs and ministries that have served their purpose and exploring new paths. St. John’s in Chula Vista let go of a school that was no longer filling a need and has embraced a partnership with ECS to provide Head Start for young children. A conversation about addressing homelessness through a ministry with tiny houses is beginning at Christ the King in Alpine.
As a diocese, we are beginning a collaborative work of advocacy through an emerging California Public Policy Network. Like other such networks across The Episcopal Church, including the All Michigan Episcopal Network (AMEN), it is a way to join others in loving our neighbors out loud – in act and deed. The work of justice and peace- making is love in public; it seeks to open hands and hearts and minds in seeking more abundant life for all.
We hope that the program work of the coming year will help us all to walk and work in partnership with people across all sorts of distinctions. Leaders from across the diocese will engage with VISIONS in January seeking to examine and heal our divisions around race and privilege. It is my earnest hope that we in this diocese might begin to examine the legacy of injustice directed toward the native peoples of these lands, and seek constructive reconciliation. May we be repairers of the breach, and builders of cities where the streets are safe for elders and playing children.
We live in a rapidly changing social context, both globally and locally, which entails learning new ways of touching the hands and hearts of others. It requires the ancient skills of getting outside our own doors – like Jesus entering the locked room where his fearful disciples had fled. For us, it’s about getting out in the world to meet brothers and sisters we don’t yet know. Jesus regularly invited himself to dinner, or gathered and fed people. We can do the same, in spite of attempts by some cities to police picnics prepared for the poor. Younger generations know less about religious bodies than they did even a decade ago, and much of what they hear is not exactly good news, particularly when the reports are of discrimination, exclusion, abuse, and trying to control the lives of others.
30
Walking into the world has to begin with listening – slowing down long enough to discover what the laments are, what people treasure, where they are looking for support and companionship. It requires conversation – spending time in community, rather than giving your favorite speech. Spend time, and listen, and discover where we might offer the good news of God with us, and the good news of God’s dream toward which we journey. Frederick Buechner famously said that ministry (answering God’s yearning for that kindom) happens when the world’s deep hunger meets our own deep joy (in the gifts God has given to each).
Jesus continues to call us to this boundary crossing work, and learning to reach across divides to take the hand of another child of God. That is what he did in life and in death and continues to do in his resurrected body. Will you reach out your hand? We have only to open and stretch out to receive another hand – and together with Christ, we will go marching upward to Zion.
He’s got the whole world in his hands…

Minutes of the 44rd Diocesan Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego Business Session Held November 10, 2017
The 44rd Convention of the Diocese of San Diego was called to order by Mr. Jim Stiven, Standing Committee President and Convention President, at 2:46 p.m. November 10, 2016.
It should be noted that prior to starting the business of the day, an Opening Worship Service was conducted by young people attending the convention. This worship service was well received and we thank the youth of this diocese for leading this service as well as taking active roles in other convention worship and fellowship activities.
Place: St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Poway
Committee on Credentials Report: Mr. Darryl Peralta, Secretary of Convention, provided a report on behalf of the Committee regarding their findings as they relate to delegate representation and vote in accordance with (IAW) the guidance provided in the following references:
• IAW Article VI, Section I, of the Constitution of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, and Title I, Canon 4, Sections 4.03 -4.06, of the cannons
o Members of the Committee received and inspected 124 Certificates of Lay Delegates. This is from a possible total of 44 congregations and 124 delegates who might be eligible. The Committee finds that they are entitled to representation and vote in the convention, except as reported by the Committee on Financial Review.
• IAW Article VI, Section I, of the Constitution of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, and Title I, Canon 4, Sections 4.00 of the cannons
o Members of the Committee have examined a list of all clerics who are canonically resident in the Diocese of San Diego and are in good standing. The Committee finds that 133 members of the Clergy are canonically resident in the Diocese and all are entitled to vote in the convention although 48 have been excused by the Bishop for various reasons. Mr. Peralta then reported that a quorum of 43 clergy and 63 lay delegates is required and that he is pleased to report the presence of a quorum of 64 clergy and 112 lay delegates. In addition, there are another 76 registered participants. He then announced the appointment of Mr. Ruben Rodriguez as Assistant Secretary. Mr. Peralta concluded his remarks with a motion to seat and give voice to the following persons at the convention:
• Members of the Executive Council and Standing Committee • Chairpersons of Committees and commissions • Diocesan Officers, youth representatives, and official guests • Members of religious orders resident in the Diocese • Members of the clergy working in the Diocese but not canonically resident. This motion to seat and voice the named persons was seconded, and passed by voice acclamation. Report of the Committee on Financial Review: In response to Convention President’s call for this report, the Secretary of Convention advised him that because no waiver requests had been submitted this year no report from the Committee on Financial Review is required.
Assisting Bishop Welcome: The Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Assisting Bishop, warmly welcomed all convention participants and made a special effort to express what an honor and joy it was for her to be a participant in the 44rd Annual Convention of the Diocese of San Diego. She concluded her brief remarks by thanking the staff and volunteers from St. Bartholomew’s for being welcoming and gracious hosts for this convention.
Host Church Welcome: The Rev. Mark McKone-Sweet, Rector of St. Bartholomew’s, warmly welcomed all convention participants and also expressed what an honor it was for him, his staff, and parishioners to host the 44rd Annual Convention of the Diocese of San Diego. Specific points he made included:
32
• Thank you to the diocesan staff for choosing St. Bart’s as the 44th Convention site • Thank you to the Rev. Lane Hensley for sharing the insights he gained as host rector for the 43rd Diocesan Convention • St. Bart’s is working hard to provide “radical” hospitality, we are here to help you • Hospitality includes convention attendees packing around 70,000 meals this morning.
He concluded his remarks by providing the housekeeping and logistics information he thought important to the conduct of the convention.
Delegate Briefing: Ms. Polly Getz, Vice Chancellor, provided delegates guidance with regard to voting, use of the provided microphones, and the proper procedures to be followed to amend or substitute a motion. Because the diocese is in the transition phase to a new Bishop Diocesan, she also provided the convention with a brief but comprehensive explanation of the responsibilities and duties of an Assisting Bishop.
Judge of Elections Report – 1st Ballot: Prior to the commencement of convention elections, Mr. Scott Crispell, Judge of Elections, provided a briefing familiarizing delegates with the format and use of the 2017 ballot and the tally sheet provided in the convention booklets. This was followed by Ms. Courtney Krafft, Diocesan Administrative Staff, who carefully and patiently went over the procedures for delegates to vote via cell phones (personal or provided for convention use only). This is a new innovation and the time used to allow delegates to perform a practice vote using their cell phones was most useful. Mr. Crispell then began the balloting by moving that the convention act by acclamation to elect the unopposed candidates for the following positions:
• Mr. Darryl Peralta - Secretary of Convention (1 of 1) ** • Mr. John J. Will - Historiographer of the Diocese (1 of 1) ** • The Rev.

• Ms. Karen Ketts – Disciplinary Board Lay (1 of 1) ** • Ms. Martha Curatolo – General Convention Alternates Lay (1 of 2)

Bishop’s Appeal Announcement: Mr. Jerry Campbell provided a common sense but passionate case for why one should donate to the Bishop’s Appeal. Key points of his presentation included:
• There are people in this diocese, state, country, and world who enveloped in darkness • They are asking “Is anyone there to help?” • Supporting the Bishop’s Appeal says to those in darkness “Yes I’m here, you are not alone!” • It is a light shining in darkness, a flame of hope in a world of need • Let a hurting world know that you are here.
During his remarks, donation envelopes were handed out to all convention participants to be filled out and returned to the ushers.
Assisting Bishop’s Convention Address: This address was far ranging and challenging as the Bishop methodically explored the physical and spiritual concepts related to the convention theme “Hand in Hand in Christ.” In doing so, she explained in great detail the different meanings associated with the word “hand.” Some of the mental pictures she painted included:
• As an appendage a hand can be used to express direction, right or left • A hand can be assistance offered to another • A hand can be an image of power or capacity • Think about the human work Jesus did with his hands • As the body of Christ, we are the only hands he has in this world • GO! Find God already at work, join hands and see the transformed world we call the reign of God • Rapidly changing social context requires learning new ways of touching the hands and hearts of others • He’s got the whole world in His hands……
Throughout the address, the Bishop wove in examples of how the churches and organizations within this diocese are living out the concepts she was discussing. She concluded by saying Jesus calls us to boundary crossing work, it is what he did in life and continues to do through His resurrected body in the world, the church. Amen!
Financial and Administrative Reports:
• Audit Committee: Ms. Judy Cater, a committee member, reported that Moss Adams LLC with the assistance of the Audit Committee conducted an audit of the financial position of the diocese as of 31 December, 2016. The below summarizes the findings of that audit:
o No significant findings, disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent, and clear o No significant disagreements with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter o The work of the Diocesan Staff was complementary
35
o Financial statements are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The committee recommended the audit be received and Executive Council so ordered.
• Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer and Canon for Finance and Administration, Julie Young, provided a report that reflected an overall assessment that the financial condition of the diocese is in excellent shape. Specific points contained in her report that support that assessment include:
o Projections as of September 30 indicate a year end positive budget variance of $75,872 o Sources of funds are projected to better than budget by $10,064 o Operating expensed this year are projected to lower than budget by $65,808 o The 2016 audited financial statement shows $17.4 million in assets, $437.000 in liabilities, and $17 million in net assets.
The St. John’s, Chula Vista school cash flow and ultimate closing precipitated the need for the diocese to loan ‘St. John’s $842,721 as of October 20, 2017. The School property has been leased to Episcopal Community Services (ECS) and the lease revenue will fund the loan to be repaid. For further detail, a copy of this report is provided on Page 37 of the Convention Booklet.
Upon completion of this report, the Convention and Standing Committee President, Mr. Jim Stiven, called upon convention delegates to confirm by voice vote the appointment of Canon Julie Young as Diocesan Treasurer. Once approval had been gained in the manner requested, Mr. Stiven, with the advice and consent of the Assisting Bishop and the Standing Committee, appointed Julie Young a permanent Canon of EDSD. Canon Young will be retiring in a few months and this appointment is made in thankful appreciation of her many years of faithful service as a diocesan staff member.
Judge of Elections Report – 2nd Ballot: Led by the Convention President, Mr. Jim Stiven, and assisted Mr. Scott Crispell and Ms. Courtney Krafft, the 2nd Ballot for contested elections was completed with the following candidates subsequently elected:

** Denotes 2017 Election Candidate Requirements have been completed
Recognition of Military Veterans: The final piece of business for this session was a recognition of the service and patriotism of this nation’s warriors, past and present. Narrated and led by Commander Roy Hoffman, Chaplain Corp, United States Navy (retired), the ceremony included:
• Presentation of the National Ensign and Service flags by a Boy Scout Color Guard • The singing of the “National Anthem” and the patriotic song “My Country Tis of Thee” • The reading of the Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Creeds by active duty or retired members of each of these services • Recognition of all armed forces veterans present in the sanctuary • The presentation of handmade remembrances by diocesan youth to each veteran in the Sanctuary • Prayers for service members and their families from the Book of Common Prayer and other sources.
Dinner Instructions, Grace: In order to ensure an orderly and smooth transition of people from the business meeting to the eating areas located in the courtyard and Parish Hall, The Rev. Mark McKone-Sweet and a catering representative explained the food serving plan. Subsequently, Rev. Sweet said Grace and returned the floor to the Convention President for the completion of session activities.
Closing Prayer/Convention in Recess: Bishop Schori ended the proceedings with a prayer followed by the Convention President placing the session in recess until 1:00 p.m. November 11, 2017. The first session of the 44rd Convention of the Diocese of San Diego completed work at 5:30 p.m. November 10, 2017.

The subsequent hand vote indicated that a large number of people present approved of this innovation.
Common Life Share Plus Report: The Rev. Jeff Martinhauk began his report by recounting the many good causes these funds supported. He went on to thank the 15 congregations who participated and encouraged even greater participation this year. Last year what we did was pull together as a community to do something good. We need to do that this coming year. He concluded by stating that this year’s receipts will be used to support 1) building a larger “Showers of Blessing” trailer, 2) increased multicultural ministries, or 3) promoting non-violent communications training.
Presentation of the 2018 Diocesan Budget: Ms. Gail Jones assisted by Canon Julie Young, Treasurer, presented the budget summary and associated charts and tables shown on Pages 38 – 39, and Pages 43 – 45 of the Convention Booklet and moved that it be accepted. Canon Young subsequently satisfactorily answered questions from the floor regarding the budgeted amounts related to multicultural ministry, clergy support, clergy mentoring, and the sale of property. In response to the Convention Presidents’ call, the motion to accept the 2018 diocesan budget was seconded and passed by voice acclamation.
Committee on Resolutions Report: Prior to the start of this agenda item, Mr. Jim Stiven, Convention and Standing Committee President, stated that the Episcopal Church welcomes and encourages debate on important issues, especially when there exist numerous differences of opinion. In the case of the resolutions before the convention, he asked that any debate on their merits be conducted with civility and respect. He then called on The Very Rev.

Resolved, that the 44th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego calls upon all members of congregations and all affiliated organizations, individually and in community, to acknowledge that:
• reporting clergy misconduct is a courageous and sacrificial act, demonstrating love for and trust in the church; • such reporting is an act of service to the church; • a victim has a right to expect our faith communities to respond with the love and compassion of Christ.
Resolved, further, that the 44th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego form a task force to study the experience of victims who report clergy sexual misconduct; become educated on best practices for safeguarding these reporters; and issue recommendations to the Standing Committee, Executive Council and the 45th Convention and memorialize to the 79th General Convention to do the same.
Resolved, further, that the Standing Committee appoint task force members by February 1, 2018, and which task force shall be comprised of passionate advocates for misconduct victims who are committed to ensuring that our faith communities respond with love, compassion, and respect for the reporting victim. Victims of clergy sexual misconduct will be a significant presence on this task force.
Resolved, further, that the recommendations shall reflect a trauma-informed approach (i.e., an approach based on the knowledge and understanding of trauma and its far-reaching implications) to the care of reporting victims, both through the canonical reporting process, as well as in their home parish.
Resolved, further, that the work of the Task Force will in no way alter current Title IV processes, procedures or confidentiality requirements for Complainants and Respondents.

The motion to accept Resolution 17-04 was made and seconded but during discussion phase the Rev. Colin Mathewson moved that the resolution be amended as shown in the handout that had been presented to the convention. This motion to amend was seconded and passed by voice vote. In response to comments made by Bishop Schori and Vice Chancellor Ms. Polly Getz, a motion to accept a second amendment to the resolution was made. This amendment made a change that exhorted the 79th General Convention to convene a similar task force. The motion to accept this amendment was seconded and passed. Because there was no response to the Convention President’s call for further discussion, Resolution 17-04, Task Force on Compassionate Care for Victims of Clergy Sexual Misconduct, as twice amend was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Resolution 17-05
Title: Resolution on Becoming a Sanctuary Diocese
Proposed By: The Rev. Janine Schenone; The Very Rev. Penny Bridges, and others
Name, Address, Phone Number of Delegate: The Rev. Janine Schenone, 4321 Eastgate Mall, San Diego, CA 92121, 858-458-1501
Date: September 29, 2017
Resolved, that this 44th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego declares the Diocese of San Diego to be a Sanctuary Diocese; and be it further
Resolved, that the Diocese of San Diego, as people of faith and people of conscience, pledges to resist efforts to target and deport millions of undocumented immigrants, and to eliminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that has granted temporary relief for thousands of young people in our communities and families; and be it further
Resolved, that the congregations and institutions of the Diocese of San Diego consider becoming Sanctuary Congregations and Institutions, serving as places of welcome, refuge, healing, and other forms of material and pastoral support for those targeted by hate due to immigration status or some perceived status of difference, and that we work alongside our friends, families, and neighbors to ensure the dignity and human rights of all people; and be it further
Resolved, that the Diocese of San Diego connect with other local and national sanctuary communities and institutions, immigrant rights groups and coalitions, and engage in educating, organizing, advocacy, and direct action, and other methods as deemed appropriate in each context, to ensure the safety and security of the undocumented community; and be it further
Resolved, that the Diocese of San Diego assist in equipping congregations, clergy and lay leaders to engage in such work, appropriate to local contexts, capacity, and discernment.
The motion to pass Resolution 17-05 was seconded and the Convention President called for discussion. That call began a nearly 1.5 hour period of debate, which included:
• Numerous discussions on the meaning and legality of the word “sanctuary” (as used in the resolution) as well as other resolution provisions • Acceptance of a motion to consider adoption of a substitute resolution, which was successfully amended multiple times • Voice votes whose closeness required the Convention President to call for a show of hands to settle the matter • Constant guidance from the Convention President to ensure all understood what was being voted on • The Convention President expertly guiding the content and flow of the debate by strictly adhering to parliamentary procedure • The Convention President receiving the expert counsel of Chancellor David Bagley and Vice Chancellor Polly Getz with regard to procedure and the wording of amendments.
39
Upon completion of a long and convoluted parliamentary process, which ended with the non-passage of a highly amended substitute resolution, the Convention President called for a hand vote on the original resolution. Resolution 17-05, Resolution on Becoming a Sanctuary Diocese, was subsequently adapted by the narrowest of margins.
Resolution 17-06 (as amended)
Title: Establishment of the California Public Policy Network in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego
Proposed By: The Rev. Janine Schenone; The Very Rev. Penny Bridges, and others…..

Date: September 29, 2017
Be it resolved, that the 44th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego establish the San Diego chapter of the California Public Policy Network. This chapter’s chair will be appointed by the Ecclesiastical Authority and at-large members would include lay and ordained members from throughout the diocese.
Be it further resolved, that the San Diego chapter of California Public Policy Network be encouraged to work with the statewide California Public Policy Network and the Episcopal Public Policy Network to advocate public policy and social action that help California to become the beloved community that Jesus Christ envisions.
The motion to accept Resolution 17-06 was seconded and the floor opened for discussion. The Rev. Fred Thayer came forward to suggest that the selection of the chapter’s chair be appointed rather than filled by the clergy person named in the resolution. The motion to approve this amendment was seconded and passed with no discussion. Subsequently, a motion to accept Resolution 17-06, Establishment of the California Public Policy Network in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, as amended was passed by voice acclamation.

ARCHDEACON’S REPORT
Vision: “A deacon is a baptized person called and empowered by God and the Church to be a model of Christ’s servant ministry for all people. As agents of God’s compassion and reconciling grace, deacons are missionaries to the world and messengers to the Church of the world’s needs, hopes and concerns. In the Church, deacons call forth, empower, and inspire the baptized to respond to these needs. The role of the deacon in liturgy mirrors this role of the deacon in the Church and world. Deacons are living symbols of Christ’s presence as they embody Christ’s servant ministry and point to the presence of Christ in those they serve.” --Association for Episcopal Deacons (AED)
Background: During the past year the community of deacons within the Diocese has served both Diocesan Bishop James R. Mathes, and Assisting Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. A deacon has accompanied the Bishops on their visitations to parishes/missions in order to make visible the order and promote servant ministry. There are currently 12 deacons assigned to 7 congregations, 3 retired and may assist part-time, and 2 on the Bishop’s staff. The goal is to have one or more deacons in each congregation.
In accompanying the Bishop on visits to congregations the deacon works to identify the many lay members active in servant ministries. Some of these individuals may be the servant leaders, the deacons, of the future. As persons become serious in their desire to pursue discernment and possible formation they are referred to Canon for Spiritual Formation, the Rev. Allisyn Thomas, Rector of the School for Ministry. One new deacon, the Rev. Susan Green, was ordained June 11, 2017. Deacon David Rhodes and family have moved to Connecticut and will be assigned to the Diocese of Connecticut.
53
Two gatherings of the community of Deacons have been held this year. The first, a retreat with Bishop Mathes in June, and the second with Assisting Bishop Jefferts Schori just preceding the annual Clergy Conference. The first gathering identified the need to increase the connections and cooperation between deacons and priests. The agenda for the annual Clergy Conference included a panel to address that need. The deacon assigned to a parish or mission works closely with the priests and lay leadership not only in the liturgy, but in the active life of the congregation. The specifics are unique to each congregation, but always promote the service to which Christ has called all baptized persons.
Other objectives identified which will be addressed in the coming year include: 1) the need to identify alternative formation processes if we are to achieve the goal of a deacon in every congregation, 2) the desire for more frequent informal gatherings of deacons, and 3) standards for canonically required continuing education.
Deacon Tom Morelli will be representing the Diocese at the Province VIII Deacons’ Conference in Las Vegas on prison ministry November 10-11, 2017, and as a result will be absent from the Diocesan Convention.
Deacons and their current assignment: • Deacon Anne Chisham, St. Paul’s Cathedral, San Diego, retired. • Deacon Margaret England, St. David’s, San Diego, retired. • Deacon Susan Green, at large. • Deacon Nancy Holland Canon to the Ordinary, EDSD. • Deacon Phil Loveless, St. Alban’s, El Cajon. • Deacon Brooks Mason, St. Paul’s Cathedral, San Diego. • Deacon Tom Morelli, Christ Church, Coronado. • Deacon Bob Nelson, Archdeacon/Missioner for Property & Contracts, EDSD. • Deacon Cherry Remboldt, St. Margaret’s, Palm Desert. • Deacon Pam Rieger, St. Dunstan’s, San Diego. • Deacon Patricia Underkofler, St. Paul’s, Yuma. • Deacon Bill Zettinger, St. Bartholomew’s, Poway, retired.

Moss Adams met with the audit committee and the management team prior to the audit and also following the audit. The auditors reported no significant findings and noted that the disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent, and clear. The auditors encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing the audit. In addition, they reported no disagreements with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matters. They were complimentary of the work of the Diocesan staff.
Auditor’s opinion was summarized as follows, “In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. “
The committee recommended the audit be received and the Executive Council so ordered. The audited financial statements can be found at http://edsd.org/governance.

AUDITOR - DIOCESAN
2017 has been extremely busy for the diocese. One major change was Bishop Mathes leaving in the summer and looming in the horizon is our Canon of Finance, Julie Young, and the Bishop’s Executive Assistant, Bobbi Hoff retiring early 2018. These changes have the Accounting Department extremely busy preparing for a very challenging year. As usual, I have enjoyed visiting quite a few of you bookkeepers, parish administrators, accountants, and business managers. And as always, please do not hesitate to call should you need any help in the accounting/bookkeeping department. I might not have the answer but I will research it for you.
The audit program is designed to help congregations assure that their financial statements reasonably represent their financial position and that internal controls are in place. I report that this year so far 26 out of 43 churches have completed and submitted their binders. I still have 5 more churches to review (out of 10) this year and many, many reports still to finish up. I again want to express my gratitude for all the help and graciousness given to me by parish administrators, bookkeepers, priests and vestry members during my visits. Please remember to call or email if you have questions or need help. As I said before, if I do not have the answer, I will research it for you.
I very much hope that you take advantage of this program to help you with any questions you have, prepare for compliance with the Canons and any external audits in your congregation’s future.
Rosa M Feeney, Assistant Treasurer
BISHOP’S SCHOOL
2017 saw the School reach a total enrollment of 800 students (grades 6-12), including 162 new students from 72 different schools and 61 different zip codes. Twenty percent of our student body receives some level of financial assistance and 43 percent self- report as students of color.
Bishop’s students distinguished themselves in a great many ways in the arts: instrumental (jazz and orchestra) and choral performances, theatre (Oedipus/Antigone; In the Heights), and dance (Gatsby; Thresholds, Borders, and Lines in the Sand). Bishop’s artists were accepted into multiple art exhibitions this year, among them the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Exhibition and the Groff Exhibition. The student body experienced a breadth and depth of speakers, including Endowed Scholar-in-Residence U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. A second endowed speakers’ program brought Paralympic swimmer Roy Perkins, Class of 2008 to campus and also featured Fr. Gregory J. Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy Industries.
Students hosted Bishop’s first robotics competition, attended the 20th annual WorldLink Youth Town Hall Meeting at the University of San Diego, and earned a ranking of seventh in the nation in the Physics Bowl. Upper school students completed more than 25,000 hours of service in local, state and international communities, serving the elderly, disabled, children/teens, addressing homelessness/hunger, building houses, working in orphanages and hospitals, tutoring in schools and promoting environmental sustainability. Thirteen girls’ and boys’ athletic teams brought home championships, setting new records along the way, and one female student-athlete was named a McDonald’s All-American basketball player.
The life of St. Mary’s Chapel continues to thrive under student leadership and involvement as 2016-2017 saw the 100th anniversary celebration of the dedication of the chapel, culminating with Bishop James Mathes presiding at a festal Evensong. While services like the Blessing of the Animals on St. Francis Day, and Thanksgiving and Christmas Chapels are always a highlight, it is the weekly services where so much of the good work of community reflection on themes significant to young people of all ages takes place.

CANON TO THE ORDINARY REPORT
This began as a year of sharpened focus on moving the mission of our diocese and is ending living in a season of transitions. Staff geared its energies towards enhancing the effectiveness of the episcopate, supporting new initiatives and engaging congregations in leadership development, stewardship, and digital evangelism. While the Mission Movement vision of Bishop Mathes remained in force, Bishop Mathes transitioned to a new position at Virginia Theological Seminary as associate dean of students, July 1.
The Episcopate
The Rev. Martha Anderson continued guiding a concerted effort of leadership development as chair of the nominating committee. Intentional efforts were devoted to recruiting new, culturally and geographically diverse lay and clergy leaders. With 15 committees to populate, more than 100 lay and clergy leaders agreed to serve as committee members or chairs. Many lay and clergy leaders also stood for election to standing committee, executive council, general convention deputies, disciplinary board, convention secretary, historiographer, or cathedral chapter member. Through this robust process, emerging new leaders were identified, and they are on their way to becoming a growing source of inspiration, energy and service for the diocese and its churches. In addition, our business, personnel policy and practice manuals as well as our transition ministry process underwent review, revision or updating.
The executive council delved into the bishop’s 2016 Mission Movement Plan early in the year and spent time at several meetings developing actions and outcomes governing much of the work which followed throughout the year.
Following is the summary of actions identified by executive council and their status as of October 31, 2017.
2017 was a year of continued consolidation A Mission Action Parish team was appointed at All Saints’, Vista in late 2015. Energies focused on developing a strategic plan, applying standard accounting principles, engaging in consistent financial reporting and raising leaders. School governance continued to operate separately from the vestry with the creation of a separate board with diverse representation including parents, diocesan and community school subject matter experts.
The property that was formerly the mission of Santa Rosa del Mar is in the final stages of being sold. St. Anthony’s in the Desert, Desert Hot Springs continues to be listed for sale. Meanwhile, a confirmation class has formed and clergy visit at least once a month for the celebration of the Eucharist. The columbarium cremains have been transferred to St. Paul in the Desert.
Sts. Peter and Paul, El Centro and All Saints’, Brawley now share a part-time rector for Sts. Peter and Paul and a part-time vicar for All Saints’, Brawley.
Hire a Hispanic Missioner o Focus initially on enhancing and expanding ministries at: St. Philip’s, St. Matthew’s, The Cathedral, and St. Andrew’s, Lake Elsinore STATUS: Unfortunately the primary candidate for this position declined our offer. Because of the consideration of the executive council, some of the funds allocated for the hiring of the Latino missioner were redirected to a newly created Fearless Love with Multicultural Focus grant opportunity. It is anticipated that these awards will be distributed before the end of 2017.
Restructure staff assignments to facilitate the above and position the diocese for the succeeding years. STATUS: The executive council decided, and it will be recommended to the convention through the 2018 budget consideration to incorporate several of these positions, created to manage the Mission Movement shift, into the Episcopate staff, except for the congregational coach position which will end December 2017.

Congregational Life
Steps were taken to connect the diocese with learning opportunities in the wider church. Increased participation in FORMA, TENS, Missional Voices exposed attendees to current trends in formation, stewardship and the church of the 21st century. Over the summer, workshops were offered in stewardship and communications. Based on this year’s experiences, additional offerings are planned for 2018 in congregational development, stewardship, team building, and multicultural ministries.
Encouragement continues to congregations to engage in the Congregational Assessment Toll (CAT) process. To date, 58% of the congregations in the diocese have either completed or are engaging the Congregational Assessment Tool process, including most of the Fearless Love and Operational grant awardees. Locally trained interpreters serve to support the process and help congregations in understanding the survey results.
New Initiatives in Progression
New initiatives for 2016 that have moved on to become ongoing movements or vital congregations include: the Youth Collaborative, North Park Project, and the Coalition on Schools.
Episcopate Transition
Bishop Mathes guided us well to this episcopate transition. The standing committee, under the leadership of The Rev. Dr. Simon Mainwaring, The Hon Jim Stiven and assisting bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, have the reins as we take this “in between time” time to explore and experiment with our missional community life in preparation for a new bishop. We are being encouraged to carry on, to continue to live into the vision of Fearless Love in all we do as we look to our future with hope for and trust in what God brings our way and calls us to through prayer or action.
The Rev. Canon Nancy R. Holland
CANON FOR SPIRITUAL FORMATION
The period between the last Diocesan Convention in November 2016 and now has been busy. The general areas I have been concentrating on are:
Transition Ministry As expected in the life of any Diocese, we have continued to experience clergy transition in our churches and ministries. St. John’s in Indio called the Rev. Brian Johnson; St. Andrew’s in La Mesa called the Rev. Harold Reed; St. Peter and Paul in El Centro and All Saints in Brawley called the Rev. Paul Gambling; St. Francis called the Rev. Fred Thayer following the departure of the Rev. Wes Hills for Illinois; and St. Thomas called the Rev. Timothy True. The Rev. Gwynn Lynch is serving as Interim at Grace Church; St. Andrew’s in Pacific Beach has called the Rev. Janet Wheelock to serve as its Interim upon the departure of the Rev. Dr. Simon Mainwaring. With the departure of the Rev. Tim True, the Rev. Cherian Pulimootil will serve as St. Paul’s in Yuma as Interim. The Rev. Richard Hogue is the new associate at both St. Andrew’s, Encinitas; the Rev. Richard Haenke is associate at Holy Cross; the Rev. Cathey Dowdle is at St. John’s in Chula Vista, and the Rev. Terry Dirbas and I are serving at All Souls’. The Rev. Pam Rieger is the deacon at St. Dunstan’s. Other clergy who have left their positions are the Rev. Monica Mainwaring, the Rev. Mitch Bojarski, and the Rev. JD McQueen. The Rev. Mac Collins retired from his position at St. Mark’s. Other churches in a search process are Good Shepherd, Hemet, St. Mark’s, Christ the King, and All Saints in San Diego,
Diocesan Events I have overseen the planning of Leadership Academy, Clergy Conference (and other clergy gatherings), and Fresh Start, with considerable and invaluable help from many, especially Keren Mondaca, Diocesan Registrar, Hannah Wilder, Diocesan Communications Officer, and Bobbi Hoff, Executive Assistant to Bishop Mathes, and now Bishop Katharine.
57
Liaison to the Commission on Ministry (COM) Working with the Rev. Terry Dirbas and members of the COM, we have sought to prayerfully help those persons perceiving a possible call to ordained ministry enter into a period of purposeful and careful discernment. Persons from this Diocese ordained since our last Convention are the Rev. Jackie Bray, the Rev. Christie Fleming, and the Rev. Susan Green.
The School for Ministry (SfM) The Diocesan School for Ministry (SfM) is currently in its fifth year of operation as it endeavors to provide high quality and rigorous educational programs for those in the ordination process but for various reasons cannot attend a residential seminary; those in discernment about a possible call to ordained ministry; and persons wishing to deepen their knowledge on topics such as the Hebrew Scriptures, Church History, Anglican Theology, and Liturgics.
Until his departure for the Diocese of Atlanta, the Rev. Dr. Simon Mainwaring served as Dean for Studies, and oversaw all academic matters; that position is now very ably filled by the Rev. Dr. Mark Mann. The Rev. Dr. Alex Nagy serves as Director of Field Education; and I serve as Rector, overseeing the administrative aspects of the school. Last spring the Rev Martha Anderson served as Chaplain, and the Rev. Pam Rieger is doing so this fall to help ensure the spiritual needs of the students are being addressed as well as their academic ones.
With a two-year track of classes for those called to the Vocational Diaconate and a three-year track for those called to the Priesthood, the SfM is currently in its third two-year track, with the Rev. Susan Green having graduated last May. The SfM also branched out beyond its Saturday classes by offering three sessions of “Learnings from London,” led by the Rev. Dr. Mark Hargreaves, and the Rev. Deborah Seles. Held at St. Margaret’s, St. James and St. Dunstan’s, “Learnings from London” looked at evangelism through the lens of broadening our ideas of what it means to be a parish, a church, in today’s world. A session looking at where we go from here will be held at Diocesan Convention. We also offered a class on the Enneagram, led by the Rev. Janet Wheelock, which we hope will be the first of many that examines the spirituality and wisdom of the Enneagram. The SfM continues to be richly blessed by its students, professors, and all who endeavor to provide high quality formation opportunities to the Diocese and beyond.
The Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas, Canon for Spiritual Formation
CHAPLAIN TO RETIRED CLERGY/SPOUSES AND PARTNERS/ SURVIVING SPOUSES
As a Chaplain to the Retired Clergy and Spouses in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego I am the communicator for the Episcopal Church Pension Fund. My main job is to keep track of all retired clergy and their spouses with their addresses, e-mails and phone numbers, and to help them deal with any problems that might arrive with their pension or health insurance. Every month I send birthday greetings to those who have birthdays and place new contact information in each card.
I am, also, assisting Chaplain’s Elisabeth and John Koenig with organizing social and educational meetings with all retirees and their spouses. Each year the Chaplains attend an annual meeting with the representatives of the Church Pension Fund to learn about new procedures and information. In March of this year I attended, along with the Koenigs, the yearly conference in Long Beach for chaplains from Province VIII. At this time we learned of changes to both the pension fund and medical benefit, as well as, being educated about memory loss.
As the tri-annual year for the Episcopal Church approaches we will be planning the National Conference for the Chaplain’s working for the Episcopal Church Pension Fund here in San Diego. With the assistance of The Rev. Laura Queen and Mr. Sean Scheller we will set the ground work for the conference. We are pleased that they have chosen San Diego and our Diocese.
John and Elisabeth Koenig and I will continue to plan more gatherings of the local clergy and hope to that we can build up more interest for social and educational opportunities.
Stephanie Harms Smith, Chaplain to the Retired Clergy and Spouses of the Greater San Diego area ∞ 58
Chaplains Stephanie Smith, Elisabeth Koenig, and the Rev. John Koenig attended the Province VIII Provincial Chaplains Conference from March 28 to 31, 2017, held at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, CA. Mr. Sean Scheller and the Rev. Laura Queen, officers of the Church Pension Group, held informative trainings concerning recent and future developments that will affect both pensions and medical benefits for retired clergy and their spouses. Provincial Chaplains shared their ministerial experiences in small group sessions. In addition, the Rev. Colette Bachand-Wood, author of Do This, Remembering Me: The Spiritual Care of Those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, gave a presentation on that topic. All trainings were clearly and effectively presented. In addition, Chaplains were given a handbook and other materials for future reference. The Hotel Maya was gracious and comfortable; meals were ample and delicious. Stephanie Smith’s daughter, Deborah Wick, drove the three of us from San Diego to Long Beach and back home again, for which we all were grateful.
Additionally, we Chaplains organized a luncheon for our Retired Clergy and Spouses on June 15, 2017, at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Poway. Approximately twenty-five people attended. The Rev. Mark McKone- Sweet graciously welcomed us into the sanctuary and led an administrative team that attended to the details of the Eucharist. Parish Administrator Beth Dean provided the service bulletin. Director of Music and Liturgy Nathan Costa served as organist. Bishop Mathes was both celebrant and preacher. It was the last time that the bishop would be with us, and he offered a moving presentation concerning the Diocese and the Church, talking informally and engagingly with us all. The Rev. Canon Richard Lief presented a narrative tribute to Bishop Mathes. The Soup Plantation catered a delicious meal. Parish Administrator Beth Dean and several St. Bart’s parishioners very generously set up coffee, and helped with clean-up.
We are in the process of planning an additional meeting for Retired Clergy and Spouses for the fall of 2017.
Elisabeth Koenig, and the Rev. John Koenig, Chaplain to the Retired Clergy and Spouses of the Greater San Diego area.
CLERGY ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE (CEC) (note we shortened our title to “Clergy Enrichment Committee”)
The Rev. Brenda Sol, Chair, the Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas, the Rev. Willy Crespo, the Rev. Joseph Dirbas, the Rev. David Marshall, the Rev. Bob Nelson, the Rev. Pam Rieger and the Rev. Janine Schenone.
The Clergy Enrichment Committee (CEC) has had a successful year of deepening our connections across the diocese with each other as colleagues. In fact, the theme of our annual clergy conference was just that: “Deepening our Connections”. In addition to purposefully incorporating time for fun and fellowship, we explored the idea of deepening our connection to God through a two-part presentation on “Christian Mindfulness.” Our presenter, Dr. Steve Romano, provided us with a very well-received reminder to care for our own spiritual life by being more contemplative.
During our time together, we also welcomed clergy new to the diocese, including Bishop Katharine. In addition, we left time for open discussions which always lead to great ideas. This year a subgroup formed to explore how we might share resources to alleviate the burden small parishes bear.
Other activities this past year included a Clergy Day in which we said goodbye to Bishop Jim at which we had the opportunity to ask questions about the transition. Memories and sentiments of gratitude were also exchanged.
Before he left, Bishop Jim began a weekly clergy call to explore the Sunday lectionary together, ask for prayers and celebrate successes. The CEC agreed to take ownership of the call and will work with the diocesan office to survey clergy for the best time and day to hold the call.
We hope that all congregations will support and encourage their clergy to take advantage of these times of learning, fellowship, and worship with our bishop and our fellow clergy.
The Rev. Brenda Sol, Chair

COALITION OF SCHOOLS COMMITTEE
Formed in late summer 2016, this coalition continued to get to know schools operating in the diocese ranging from preschools, to elementary, middle school and high school learning centers. Operating under a shared commitment to promote a strong Episcopal identity within and among the Episcopal schools in the diocese, aligned with the mission of the diocese, the coalition steering committee focused on personal school visits, gathering data through survey monkey and connecting the schools with the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES). These concerted efforts resulted in the first gathering of diocesan schools in the Spring of 2017 with the Rev. Dan Heischman, executive director of the NAES as the keynote speaker. The schools shared their bright spots, challenges and a desire to meet more often to work together on marketing, financial and professional development shared interests. A change of leadership occurred in late summer due to pressing commitments of Deacon Morelli and Mr. Scott Crispell agreed to step in. Renewed efforts are underway to completed visits and surveys, to collaborate more closely with NAES and to continue sponsoring gatherings of school leadership and staff to promote interaction both spiritually and professionally.
The Rev. Tom Morelli, former chair and Mr. Scott Crispell, chair
COMMISSION ON MINISTRY
The Commission on Ministry assists the Bishop and the Standing Committee with those who are discerning a call to ordained ministry. Members are appointed by the Bishop for a three year term.
Currently in the process we have two postulants, three candidates and one transitional deacon. Of the postulants, one is discerning a call to the priesthood and one to the diaconate. Two of the candidates are discerning a call to the priesthood and one to the diaconate, and the transitional deacon is scheduled to be ordained to the priesthood this December. Of those discerning a call to the priesthood, one attends Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest, and two attend the School for Ministry (SfM). One of those discerning a call to the diaconate participates in the SfM, while the other is receiving mentoring from a priest who is fluent in Spanish.
In January of 2017, the COM recommended Chris Craig-Jones for postulancy for the vocational diaconate. In March, the COM recommended that Jackie Bray be ordained to the priesthood and that Roger Haenke’s orders be received. At the April 2017 meeting, the COM voted to recommend that Christie Fleming be ordained to the transitional diaconate and Susan Green to the vocational diaconate. The COM recommended that the Standing Committee grant candidacy to Kelly Mahon in June 2017, and to Tricia Horkey in September 2017. Also in September, the COM recommended that Christie Fleming be ordained to the priesthood.
The Commission on Ministry is chaired by the Rev. Terry Shields Dirbas. Other members are the Rev. Anne Bridgers, the Rev. Dr. George Calvert, Dr. Marjorie Coburn, Ms. Lisa Johnston, the Rev. Laurel Mathewson (secretary), the Rev. Tom Morelli, Canon Christine Spalding, Ms. Donna Watson, and Brother John Westaway (Standing Committee Liaison). Finishing their terms in 2017 are the Rev. George Calvert, Dr. Marjorie Coburn, Canon Christine Spalding, and Ms. Donna Watson.
The Rev. Terry Dirbas, Chair
COMMUNICATIONS
The diocesan communications office produced three Messengers. The spring magazine focused on the news that had just been released about Bishop Mathes’ departure from our diocese. Our summer issue continued this focus, with a theme of “The End of an Era.” It was chock full of photos from Bishop Mathes’ episcopacy and featured articles about dealing with change and transition. Our fall issue delved into the subject of death and dying with articles about grief, the afterlife, helping children grieve and dying the way you want. One of our authors is present at diocesan convention to lead a workshop as a follow up.

ComFest The diocesan communications committee proudly hosted ComFest, a mini-conference about church communications. Presenters from the Episcopal Church in New York served as our presenters. Neva Rae Fox, public affairs officer who led an opening plenary titled, “Communication as Evangelism.” She also taught two sessions on crisis communications. Jeremy Tackett, digital evangelist, and Chris Sikkema, coordinator for digital evangelism, led a workshop about social media and evangelism. Mike Collins, video and multicast unit director for Episcopal Life, led “Video Recording and Streaming.” And Barry Merer, manager of web services, led sessions about web development. Fifty people attended from 21 congregations.
Survey results showed that 94% of respondents were satisfied with the event. Crisis communications and social media workshops received the highest marks. Attendees self-identified as 36% volunteer and 36% paid staff. Fifteen percent of attendees were clergy members. This feedback points toward hosting future ComFests, perhaps annually, or every other year. The committee would like to hear from members of the diocese about what topics they would like covered at future communications events.
We hosted a farewell communicators’ lunch for Bishop Mathes in May. It did include sheet cake. We will meet in November to plan our calendar for 2018 including monthly or quarterly Zoom meetings for communications folks throughout our diocese.
By the Numbers (percent change from 2016 to 2017): • 11,529 households receive the Messenger (10.9% decrease) • 2,586 email subscribers (8.8% decrease) • 971 Facebook page likes for facebook.com/DioSanDiego (5.8% increase) • 1,337 Twitter followers for @DioSanDiego (6.7% increase)

CURSILLO
Cursillo was founded in Spain in the 1940’s. It was started by lay people to help lay people become better followers of Jesus Christ. In other words, Cursillo is a Discipleship program.
Over the last year in our Diocese, Cursillo has held two well-attended weekends at Camp Stevens, where participants learned about following Jesus through piety, study, and action.
Cursillo, over the last year, also held ten Ultreyas at parishes all over the diocese. The Ultreya is a spiritual renewal evening, consisting of a potluck dinner, singing, three short talks, and small group discussion.
The Cursillo weekends and the Ultreyas have provided opportunities for spiritual renewal, lay ministry development, and lay leadership growth. All these things happen as we develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Cursillo can be a life-changing experience, not only for newer Christians, but for mature Christians as well.
In 2018 there will be two Cursillo weekends. The Spring 2018 weekend will be April 19th through the 22nd. The Fall 2018 weekend will be in October. Both weekends start on Thursday night and end on Sunday evening and will take place at the Pine Valley Bible Conference Center.
For more information about Cursillo please talk to your Cursillo parish representative and visit the San Diego Cursillo website www.sdcursillo.org

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
The Daughters of the King has seventeen chapters located as far East as Indio and Palm Springs in the desert, and as far South as Chula Vista in the South Bay. The Daughters are dedicated to a rule of prayer and a rule of service. They pray daily for those in need, and pray for the needs of others as requested. All women of the Diocese are welcome to join the Daughters. There is also an opportunity for young girls 7 - 21 years of age to participate as part of the Order as Jr. Daughters.
This year during the DOK Diocesan Quiet Day at St. David’s, the Rev. Martha Anderson lead the Daughters in prayer and meditation on, “The Season of Lent: from Fasting to Feasting”. At the DOK Spring Assembly held at St. Andrew’s in La Mesa, DOK Past National President, Sharon Lundgren, dressed in period attire and spoke on the history and founding of the Order, “History+Vision+Mission”. At the Fall Assembly, held at St. Bartholomew’s, the Daughters were treated to an inspiring presentation given by the Rt. Rev. Diane Jardine Bruce, Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. We invites all women to attend the many exciting DOK programs presented by local chapters, and to any of the Diocesan wide events held each year.
For the fifth year in a row, the San Diego Order of the Daughters of the King has chosen to support two Diocesan outreach programs: Showers of Blessings, and Second Chances. The ingathering of medical supplies and personal items is continuous throughout the year. In addition, Daughters serve in a variety of ministries within their own parishes and have reached-out to the surrounding communities as well. Daughters have hosted funeral receptions and other functions as directed by their rector. At the chapter level, Daughters may elect to work on special projects, such as the St. Stephen’s chapter in Menifee, which elected to have bible studies that are open to all, or the St. Dunstan’s chapter which delivers bread to newcomers. The Daughters at St. James by the Sea chose to host Taizée services, the Daughters at St. David’s take part in a prayer chair to pray for newly baptized children, and the Daughters at Good Shepherd in Bonita elected to support Vida Joven, a home for disadvantaged children in Mexico. These are just a few of the many projects that have touched the hearts of the Daughters as they continue to seek the will of God. As an international Order, Daughters work together to serve the Lord, and to help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world.
Excerpt from The Motto of the Order “I cannot do everything, but I can do something.... Lord, what will you have me do?”

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The development committee met monthly in 2017, beginning with a kickoff to focus on its purpose and a planning meeting to plan a communication strategy to help the diocese better understand why we are connected through the diocese and the episcopacy when it feels to many in the pews that the local congregation is the focus of the Church- and that the diocese is all of us, not just those in an office in Ocean Beach.
The development committee has several primary areas of focus. First, the committee provides support to the bishop and the bishop’s office for the bishop’s appeal. The bishop’s appeal typically has two campaigns: a limited appeal in the spring and a major, broad appeal in the fall. The goal for the Bishop’s Appeal in 2017 is to raise $100,000 through donations from individual congregants. As of October 12, we had raised $39,000 through the spring appeal, and the fall appeal begins soon. You may donate to the bishop’s appeal by going to edsd.org/bishopsappeal. The development committee sponsored a Diocesan Stewardship School this summer, bringing TENS president Rick Felton to help congregations discern theological stewardship values and practices, and we have begun planning for more events for both practical and theological stewardship formation in the coming year.
This year, we also worked with the Treasurer’s office to enrich the Common Life Share Plus offerings for the diocese and widen the participation in the CLS+ offerings across the diocese by encouraging a broader participation in the selection process for the CLS+ funds. Vestries and Bishop’s Committees across the diocese voted to select the offerings for the 2018 CLS+ offering. We plan to continue developing that process next year, in the hopes that congregations’ participation in selecting the purpose of CLS+ funds leads them to pledge funds 62 towards these important missional objectives-- things we can only accomplish together as a diocese with the support of congregational funding through the CLS+. Fifteen congregations contributed to the CLS+ in 2017 (many of them are our smaller, struggling congregations) and we would like to see every congregation participate in our common life and mission. Total giving to the CLS+ was $19,476. The largest gift was $8,283.
Aside from these important initiatives, we review monthly diocesan stewardship communications and worked this year to ensure that current donors to the capital campaign receive communication on the status of those campaigns. We look forward to continuing to facilitate the development of the diocese in the years to come.

DIOCESAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
The Officers of the Diocesan Executive Council for 2017 were: The Rt. Rev. James R. Mathes, President Ms. Judy Cater, First Vice President Mr. Rom Ituarte, Vice President Mr. Darryl Peralta, Secretary Canon Julie Young, Treasurer
Positioning and shifting our diocese as we listen to God’s call for the future of our church continued in to this year. Devotion continued on being good stewards of our resources, launching a new initiative in North Park, nurturing youth engagement through the diocese and embracing our diversity in new and deeper ways through building community and celebrating our cultural heritages. While the unexpected decision of Bishop Mathes to transition into academic seminary life at Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS), the council honored his vision and the plan for the year and carried through on many of the mutually agreed upon directions set forth at the beginning of the calendar year.
Because of the bishop’s Mission Movement vision articulated in the Fall of 2015 and embraced by the convention in 2016, property continues to sell, investments were made in new initiatives, and congregational energies explored new territories, through initiatives, such as the Learning from London, held in three locations over the year attracting 230 participants.
Youth Missioner, Charlette Preslar led a lively youth group to the triennial Episcopal Youth Event in Oklahoma City in July. While disappointment surrounded the decision of the candidate for Latino missioner to decline our offer, this action led us to freeing funds designated this year for that hire to inviting congregations to submit grant applications to the Fearless Love Multicultural Focus Grant Initiative. We anticipate awarding grants this year in the amount of $50,000 to support local energies around engaging our diverse communities. The Rev. Janet Wheelock continued to serve as the congregational coach, working with churches to boost their development and leadership capabilities. She also became a lead interpreter for our Congregational Assessment Tool (CAT) effort offering to all congregations triennially to assist them with their development missional work.
Each council meeting included a presentation on an aspect of the new initiatives work enabling firsthand knowledge to flow into the decision-making process. Also at some meetings, council members actively engaged in small group information sharing and decision making. One council member attended Missional Voices. The advocacy work group of the executive council kept diligence on bringing to the table key issue of importance to many areas of society, including offering a program for congregations to offer in their communities on Military Marriage Enrichment. The advocacy work group also explored and recommended to the executive council that multicultural training begin in the diocese with the help of VISIONS. This training, mandated by the general convention in 2015, will begin in January 2018 followed by two train the trainer workshops in the Spring and early summer. VISIONS multicultural and diversity and inclusion training incorporates both didactic and experiential modes.

While living into the vision Bishop Mathes proposed, the North Park Project was identified as an opportunity to engage in mission in the world in a new way. As such, this project launched in September 2016 to lift up the St. Luke’s congregation and involve the neighborhood in community building. The co-vicars, Colin and Laurel Mathewson, began the next step in their journey with this project on October 1, 2016. Since that time, many innovated changes have taken place. A few include, attracting a faith partner church, Genesis, which shares space and contributes its gifts to the project through works, creativity and providing a new sound system. Some of the successful grant applications include: a new church plant grant from the wider Episcopal Church; a United Thank Offering (UTO) grant to renovate the kitchen; and a grant to construct a new on-site playground. Under Laurel and Colin’s leadership and pastoring, this is a growing, vibrant faith community amid a multi-cultural and multi-generational broader community.
These are just a few highlights of the work of your diocesan executive council during the 2017 session. More detailed information appears in the individual committee reports. Additionally, the minutes of the executive council are available on the website http://edsd.org/who-we-are/about-the-diocese/diocesan-governance/.

DIOCESAN SERVICE COALITION – OUTREACH MINISTRY
The Diocesan Service Summit is an informal coalition of people from all parishes in the Diocese who serve in outreach projects at their parishes, and who want to share their ministries with each other and learn about new opportunities for service. We meet quarterly, usually the last Saturday of January, April, July, and October. Each quarter we select a collaborative project in which all parishes can participate. For instance, packing meals at Diocesan Convention is our Fall Collaborative.
Since Sarah Shealy stepped down a year ago as the group’s convener we have shared leadership, with Debby Park the primary meeting facilitator, Carolyn Lief assisting. We would welcome a person who has a passion for outreach who would like to take on permanent leadership!
Meeting schedule is 10-12 a.m. ministry sharing, 12-12:30 lunch, and 12:30-2 PM a program of community resources or new ministry possibilities. This year we heard about the Braid Ministry in San Francisco, the new diocesan Asian ministry, and the North Park Project at St. Luke’s. In early August we helped organize backpacks for Back2SchoolBash at St. Mark’s. We always come away from our meetings feeling inspired and invigorated for service. Please join us!

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
At the 42nd Annual Diocesan Convention in 2015 all congregations, diocesan institutions and offices were directed to appoint a disaster preparedness leader and complete entries in the Episcopal Asset Map survey prior to the 43rd Diocesan Convention in 2016. Furthermore, at the 43rd Annual Diocesan Convention resolution 16-02 was passed stating that all congregations, diocesan institutions and offices were required to create an up-to-date disaster preparedness plan by the 44th Annual Diocesan Convention in 2017. In order to support and assist in this process the Diocesan Disaster Preparedness Committee held workshops at the Leadership Academy and held monthly conference calls to assist individual congregations to create/update their plans. Members of the Diocesan Disaster Preparedness Committee frequently contacted disaster preparedness leaders by telephone and e-mail offering assistance with the process. Disaster plan templates, examples of completed disaster plans and lists of resources were also shared with disaster preparedness leaders.
Nearly 100% of the congregations, diocesan institutions and offices have appointed a disaster preparedness leader and have completed the Episcopal Asset Map Survey; however, only 20% of the congregations, diocesan institutions and offices have completed an up-to-date disaster preparedness plan. Many congregations have reported that their disaster plans are currently between 10% and 90% complete.
64
The Diocesan Disaster Preparedness Committee plans to continue working with the congregations, diocesan institutions and offices that need more time and assistance. With every disaster and disaster drill, we find gaps in our preparedness and better ways to respond. In order to serve our church members and the community in times of crisis, our congregations, diocesan institutions and offices must, first, be prepared to survive various types of disasters and emergencies.
Jeff Green & Neil Malmquist, Diocesan Disaster Preparedness Coordinators
ECUMENICAL & INTERRELIGIOUS OFFICER
Since the 2016 Diocesan Convention the ecumenical focus has remained focused upon the commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation (1517-2017). In doing so our diocese has been working in concert with all Anglicanism as Lutherans, Catholics and Roman Catholics invest in various engagements to strengthen bonds of affection.
The local LARC Lutheran/Anglican/Roman Catholic) committee, which the Episcopal Ecumenical Officer Co- Chairs with the Catholic Ecumenical Officer, provides an program every January to coincide with the Week of Christian Unity commemorated throughout the world. In 2017 the program offered the educational bookend for the 500th Anniversary. Three papers were presented to share the reformation perspective from each denomination. An excellent Anglican paper reflecting upon and responding to the Catholic and Lutheran perspectives was given by Dr. David Mosley. The papers are available on the diocesan website. On October 18th, 2017 the Ecumenical Officers appeared on radio 1000 AM, the Catholic Radio Station, to discuss aspects of the Reformation. The program was streamed and available on-line.
The liturgical bookend for the year was held on October 29th, at the Immaculata on the campus of The University of San Diego. Bishops of the denominations participated, as did the Ecumenical Officers and representative seminarians. Bishop Katharine was represented by Canon Holland. This unique event helps to cement commitment toward cooperation and mutual understanding.
The annual gathering of Ecumenical Officers occurs concurrently with the Workshop on Christian Unity each year. This year the groups met in Minneapolis, and a rich array of offerings were available. The Episcopal Ecumenical Officers (EDEIO) were treated to a day with our Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry, along with The Rev. Margaret Rose, Ecumenical & Interreligious Officer for The Episcopal Church. (I serve as Province VIII Coordinator for EDEIO, and meet with colleagues to plan events and set policies.) Much attention was given to the commemorative year of the Reformation, and to the national and international dialogues between and among different faith bodies.
The Episcopal Church is engaged in many dialogues. The dialogue with the United Methodists is the most timely now with a vote on reaching "Full Communion" status with the UMC expected at the 2020 General Convention. The UMC also must vote to achieve "Full Communion," at their convention. Meanwhile, parishes are encouraged to use the study material provided on the diocesan website to learn more about this potential agreement and to discover ways to engage with UMC neighbors.
The Faith and Order Commission in San Diego continues its study and dialogue work, with The Reverend Carol Worthing from St. Paul's Cathedral representing the Diocese. On the Interfaith scene, The Reverend Canon Wayne Sanders continues working with the IRC, the International Religious Committee, and I serve on the board of the San Diego Regional Interfaith Collaborative (SDRIC), an entity in business to inform and educate the community about matters related to Interfaith work. The most recent workshop sponsored by the SDRIC focused on Human Trafficking. See the websites of these groups for more detailed information.
In 2017 the Anglican Roman Catholic Committee thanked The Reverend Robert Crafts for his many years of dedicated service to ecumenical ministry. The Diocese thanks him sincerely, and wishes him all blessings. The Committee welcomes new member, Barbara Bundy of St. Thomas, to the "Anglican" voice of the Committee. There are both lay and ordained representatives on the Committee.
65
Lastly, mark calendars for the upcoming Day of Dialogue on a January --- when Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will address the Anglican perspective on Immigration, along with Lutheran and Roman Catholic speakers. The Day of Dialogue is set for January 20th from 9:30 am through lunch at the Roman Catholic Pastoral Center.

EPISCOPAL COMMUNITY SERVICES
Serving God by serving those in need through programs and services that foster hope, dignity and independence.
Our objective at ECS is to Inspire Children, Empower Adults and Transform Communities.
Following are some of the highlights of the past year. We are grateful for the support we receive from the Diocese.
We were delighted to begin a new program this year when we received a contract to open the Central East Regional Recovery Center in City Heights on January 1st. This fall we have increased the size of this program which delivers extensive outpatient drug and alcohol treatment services to include clients coming through the court system from Proposition 47. We have been asked to emphasize services to those facing homelessness because of their drug and alcohol dependence and have added a housing navigator to our staff.
The 2017 Point in Time Count conducted by the Regional Task Force on the Homeless found that there were more than 9000 homeless persons in San Diego. The number of unsheltered homeless individuals increased by 18% in the city of San Diego and by 27% in the downtown footprint. Of those, almost 1 in 3 are considered chronically homeless and 39% report having mental health issues. This is the population served by ECS Friend to Friend. We have expanded our services to meet the increased demand including going out with the SDPD Homeless Outreach Team and public health nurses to assist in the vaccination program for Hepatitis A as well as setting up services at the temporary tent shelter. Our service area has been expanded to include the areas where homeless congregate in 92110. Our clubhouse members love the monthly Life Celebration lunches hosted by churches throughout the diocese and we appreciate that.
Uptown Safe Haven provided housing, meals and services to 45 residents who had previously been homeless. Many diocesan churches and organizations hosted parties and meals and provided household goods and furnishings for the residents. A decorator offered her services to increase the beauty of the living spaces and she also began working with residents in planning how to decorate their new homes when they moved out.
We said goodbye to our Downtown Safe Haven when we turned the property over to a developer and the San Diego Housing Commission to be redeveloped into permanent supportive housing. While sad to see it close, we were aware that HUD funded transitional housing is being discontinued in favor of more permanent residences. And knowing that the 28 beds we were offering to mentally ill homeless clients will be replaced with 44 apartments in permanent supportive housing is a plus for the community. The last residents were moved into alternative housing and the staff was able to find jobs in other parts of ECS.
ECS Head Start was awarded an Early Head Start Duration grant allowing us to expand both the number of hours and number of classrooms for toddlers. We were pleased to obtain a lease at the former St. John's Chula Vista School campus and plan to open Head Start classrooms for toddlers and preschoolers. Two classrooms have already been renovated and a new playground has been installed. Occupancy is expected to begin before the end of the year.
ECS Para Las Familias bid farewell to its founder and celebrated his accomplishments as well as the smooth transition to a new, very experienced program manager. The free childcare being offered in this program has been a popular enhancement, easing the ability of low income families to access important 66
mental health services. Evidence shows that the earlier children who have experienced trauma get help the better their chances are to live productive, healthy lives. The new family advisory group has given us good feedback into ways we can help them help themselves.
ECS ACCORD moved into an expanded, modern facility in El Cajon with good access to public transportation. We were delighted to be able to improve the environment for the over 4000 participants in this drug and alcohol education and counseling program. The exit surveys for graduating clients have shown the program to be of great value in helping people deal with drug and alcohol abuse.
The support we received from the diocese made a real difference in our ability to provide services to over 8000 people during the year. Nine churches and over 75 volunteers participated in hosting events at our homeless outreach programs and thirteen diocesan churches and organizations donated almost $28,000. We were also grateful to be awarded $8000 from the diocesan budget.
ECS: Inspiring children. Empowering adults. Transforming communities.
Lesslie Keller, Executive Director
FAITH ALIVE
Faith Alive is a small group based ministry that renews or strengthens the spiritual life of a parish through the sharing of personal stories by Christians who are not members of the parish. Each of these stories illustrates a specific instance of the Holy Spirit working in their lives, which makes a Faith Alive Weekend possibly the ultimate reality show. This effort is impactful because it uses a non-threatening means to convey two major ideas 1) If God is working in that person’s life maybe he can work in mine too, and 2) if that person’s story helped me maybe I can use my story to help someone else.
The objectives of a Faith Journey Retreat are the same as a Faith Alive Weekend but are accomplished using a program specifically tailored to meet the needs of a congregation. The Faith Journey program allows delivery of a faith renewal program for churches that are smaller in numbers or who have other special needs that the classic Faith Alive program may not address.
I have been privileged to have been involved in seven (7) Faith Alive Weekend efforts, three as a member of a parish team (Good Shepherd Bonita) and four as a member of the visiting Faith Alive Team (St. Luke’s, Prescott, AZ; St. Martin’s, Houston, TX, Wellspring, Modesto, CA, St. Richard’s, Round Rock, TX). I have also participated in a Faith Story Retreat and currently serve on the Faith Alive National Board of Directors. It is my hope that the experiences gained from these efforts will aid me in conveying to interested parties factual information about the how and whys of a Faith Alive Weekend or a Faith Journey Retreat.
Faith Alive is always in need of people to fill teams for scheduled weekends. Currently team members are being recruited to serve on the Faith Alive Weekend for St. David’s Episcopal Church in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. This effort is scheduled for May 4 – 6, 2018, which is a perfect time to visit Cape Cod. Please contact me if you are interested in this opportunity to serve others.
Faith Alive has a proven record of success and I believe in their capabilities to make a difference in the lives of parishioners. A critical component of the “Jesus Movement” reaching out into the world is the equipping of saints. This is one of the major objectives of Faith Alive. I view the coming year as a renewed opportunity to share more about this with parish leaders in this diocese.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
The finance committee of the executive council is responsible for providing financial oversight support to the council. Its primary responsibility is to oversee financial matters and the financial condition of the diocese and to
67 make recommendations to the council. Additionally, both the property committee and budget committee report to the finance committee.
The finance committee currently consists of nine members. In 2017, three members were members of executive council.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the finance committee focused on supporting the ministry of the missions and parishes of the diocese in many ways. In 2017, the committee reviewed and provided recommendations to the executive council and/or the standing committee on the financial aspects of solar and cell phone contracts and land leases, as well as making recommendations on multiple grants to missions or parishes. Most significantly, we worked diligently with the St. John’s Chula Vista mission action parish committee and the church leadership to address the school financial crisis and its eventual closing. The committee analyzed the loan requirements of St. John’s and was instrumental in structuring the debt repayment. The committee also analyzed and recommended the sale of the property of the now closed Santa Rosa del Mar in Desert Shores.
The finance committee worked with the budget committee to ensure that the proposed expenditures in the 2018 budget were entirely consistent with diocesan goals and priorities, that the budget contained an adequate contingency allowance and that the 2018 operating budget is again balanced. Most notable is the absorption of the cost of the “mission shift personnel” into the operating budget.
Lastly, on an ongoing basis the committee worked closely with the Treasurer in reviewing appropriate internal controls, financial reporting, insurance coverage, and cash management.
Please join me in extending thanks to the members of the finance committee (Mr. Tim Agnew, Ms. Pat Carson, Mr. Chris Christopher, Ms. Terry Farrelly, Ms. Guin Kerstetter, Ms. Jan Romerdahl, Mr. Tom Sparrow, Mr. Allen Sweet) and especially our diocesan treasurer for their sharp minds and faithful oversight of diocesan resources.
The Rev. Joseph Dirbas, Chair
HISTORIOGRAPHER
According to the Constitution and Canons of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, the Historiographer is charged in part with obtaining, preparing and preserving all special historical and biographical matter, printed or manuscript, pertaining to the diocese, its parishes, missions, institutions and undertakings.
In 2017 we again made minimal progress in our efforts in organizing the files of the diocese. Our hope is to provide a format for the organization of current and future records within the office of the bishop. While this took a back seat, we did accomplish the following: 1. Along with the Diocesan Communications Director, we collected additional oral histories. 2. Conducted research for parishes celebrating milestones in their history. 3. Responded to inquiries from individual’s regarding family history. 4. Prepared displays of photographs for farewell receptions of Bishop Mathes at St. Margaret’s, Palm Desert & St. Paul’s Cathedral, San Diego.
In 2018, my goals include: • Continue the reorganization of our diocesan files and records. This will include the documentation of locations within or outside the diocesan offices where certain records will be maintained. Some records may be stored offsite in secure storage. We will be working to maintain records in an environment that keeps them safe and secure from theft, fire, moisture and anything else that would compromise them.
• In conjunction with the Diocesan Communications Director, Hannah Wilder, I plan to continue the recording of oral histories of more of our diocesan clergy and lay people.
• Continuing to work with the various parishes/missions and institutions of the diocese to encourage and facilitate the preservation of historical records and archival materials on the parish/institutional level.
• Formally organize an Archive of the Diocese of San Diego. Solicit assistance of others within and outside the diocese to do so. If you are interested, please contact me. 68
• I would like to recruit others who are interested in the preservation of our diocesan documents. In particular, I am interested in the assistance of others who are well versed in electronic media and its retention and preservation.
Once again, I would like to encourage the donation of documents and/or materials considered to be significant in the life of a parish, mission or the diocese. If you have or know of anything that may add to the historical records of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, please let me know.
Additionally, if you have any questions regarding the history or archived materials of the diocese, I hope you will contact me at [email protected] .
John J. Will, Historiographer of the Diocese
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The Investment Committee is responsible for the management of the Diocesan Investment Fund and reports to the Diocesan Executive Council. During 2017, the Committee continues to explore opportunities for investing in socially responsible or green funds while still maximizing the returns on Diocesan investments.
The Committee had four quarterly meetings with the Registered Investment Advisors that actively manage the investment funds.
The Committee membership during the year included Julie Young, Michael Reichle, Judy Brown, Wally Grimm and Blair Shamel.
Michael Reichle, chair
MISSION TO SEAFARERS
The Rev. Robert Crafts, MD retired as the Episcopal Port Chaplain for the Diocese of San Diego as of December 31, 2016. and the board was dissolved. At this time there is no Episcopal Port Chaplain. The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego continues to support this ministry on their own, whereas it was an ecumenical initiative in the past. The only Episcopal support that we are currently giving is the collection of reading material and knitted watch caps and scarves.
Thanks to all who in the past have donated Bibles, magazines, paperback books, toiletries, jigsaw puzzles, calendars, and playing cards. You still can drop off magazines and devotional booklets at the Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach and at All Souls’ Episcopal Church, Point Loma. There are also ministry opportunities for volunteer afternoon or evening drivers. The major opportunity for provision of pastoral care is while riding in the van.
This ministry requires a Transport Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) and two hours of “escort” training at the Port. The Maritime Transportation Security Act requires that seafarers not transit the terminals on their own. We have to pick them up and escort them. Thus, maintaining even a minimal level of service requires an adequate number of TWIC’d volunteers.
You make these ministries of hospitality, advocacy, and pastoral care possible. Please continue to pray for seafarers, especially on Sea Sunday, 8 July 2018; pray also for those who wait for them and those who minister to them. For additional information on this ministry contact Neil Malmquist at All Souls’, Point Loma.

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
The Personnel Committee meets, as needed, to review policies and procedures and propose improvements for the health and welfare of diocesan employees. This year the committee sponsored a human resources (HR) “lunch and learn” workshop that was well attended. At the workshop, a human resources manual was introduced as well an HR audit check list.
A subcommittee of the Personnel Committee, named the Health Insurance Task Force, convenes annually to review health plan selection. This year the committee was tasked with the following:
1. Review and recommend plan offerings 2. Consider cost share included in last year’s revision of the denominational health plan. 3. Consider alternative approaches to monthly HSA funding.
Key recommendations include the following:
1. Plans will remain the same with the exception of the addition of the PPO 90 plan which will then replace the 90/70 plan in 2018 2. HSA contribution of base plan will be funded 50% in January and 50% in July 3. Cost share of 2.5% in 2018 and 5% in 2019 decided last year will be implemented.
The recommendations were framed as a resolution to Executive Council. This resolution passed on October 7, 2016.

PLANNED GIVING SUPPORT COMMITTEE
The Diocesan Planned Giving Support Committee membership in 2017 included The Rt. Rev. James Mathes (until his departure at mid-year), Daryl Ferguson, The Rev. George Calvert, Gary Powell, Susie Hayes, Chris Timmins, and Sam Ward.
The key objectives of the Committee are to promote legacy giving programs in every congregation. The Committee met approximately quarterly through 2017 and continued conducting planned giving group discussions across the Diocese.
Each discussion was carefully planned with the Rector and applicable Vestry members to tailor each group discussion to the congregation. Each visit included the presentation of an inspirational video homily by Rev. George Calvert, highlighting the spiritual essence of planned giving. The committee members and interested congregants gathered after the service and held a round table discussion. Each session was free-flowing, and generally included topics such as creating a legacy, planned giving methods, and setting up parish endowments.
This pattern was employed in gatherings at St. Thomas’s Church, Holy Cross Episcopal Church, and St. Andrew’s Church, Encinitas. The average congregational attendance was 17 members, over about an hour.
The committee was impressed by the excellent personal interactions that occurred between congregants discussing legacy giving. This process will take time to reach across the Diocese, primarily due to complexities in scheduling. The committee hopes to reach out to many more parishes in 2018.
If you are looking for ways to promote planned giving in your parish, or would like more information about using the Episcopal Church Foundation to improve the security and returns of your parish’s endowment funds, please contact Sam Ward at 619-437-7287 or at [email protected].
Sam Ward, Chair

PROPERTY COMMITTEE
The purpose of the Property Committee is to advise the Bishop, the Finance Committee, individual parishes/missions and ultimately the Executive Council and Standing Committee, on matters pertaining to land and buildings owned by the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego or held in trust for the Diocese. The committee consists of five to seven members serving a one-year renewable term. Members are expected to have general business and financial expertise, as well as an understanding of church property management issues. Expertise in areas of general contracting, building trades, engineering, facility/property management, and real estate (commercial and residential) is helpful. Current members include: Louis Beacham, Sandi Lanzarotta, Robert Nelson, Richard Wade, Thomas Wilson, and Julie Young (ex officio). If you are interested in appointment to the Committee, please contact Canon Julie Young ([email protected]).
During 2017, the Committee has continued its consultation with Missions and Parishes to address deferred maintenance issues, health and safety issues, and other facility needs such as Cell Towers, Solar Energy installations, sales/lease of property. Physical Needs Assessments, which have been conducted by professional companies for sixteen congregations in the diocese, help guide the Committee in its conversations with congregations. These assessments also play a key role in the Property Grant Request process. During this year, the Committee has also updated its Charter, the Property Usage Handbook, and the Property Grant Procedures. Information on Church Property Resources for this diocese can be found at http://edsd.org/equipping- leaders/vestry-resources/church-property-resources/
The Rev. Tom Wilson, Chair
REFUGEE NETWORK
The Episcopal Refugee Network of San Diego (RefugeeNet) provides assistance to United Nations sanctioned refugees primarily from Southern Sudan, Myanmar, and Iraq, with increasing numbers from Syria, and Congo. The majority of the refugees reside in City Heights, El Cajon, North Park, and Linda Vista.
The current political climate is challenging for resettlement agencies. The big agencies that rely on federal funding on a per family basis are reducing their staff as few new families are arriving. Agencies such as RefugeeNet continue to provide for families that have been in San Diego for years, as well as those who relocate here from other parts of the U.S. Language and cultural obstacles are not overcome in the first months of residency.
Our primary activity is helping new families to settle into life in the United States, with translation and transportation services to immigration authorities, medical appointments, education sessions, welfare offices, and other necessary meetings. We also provide household furnishings and clothing to new and growing families. At mid-year 2017 the Network had a casework client base of over 300 families.
Our food program consists of delivery of over 180,000 pounds of food provided by the San Diego Food Bank and donations from several churches. Distribution occurs every Tuesday and Thursday morning. We serve over 300 families in City Heights and El Cajon.
Our tutoring program is offered Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons in City Heights, and Wednesday afternoons at St. Alban’s Church, El Cajon. There are currently approximately 100 City Heights and El Cajon children in these classes.
We sent 50 of our young people to Camp Stevens during the summer. We also provided a six week swim lesson program to 34 kids.
We started two new volunteer driven activities this year. Several boys and girls have continued to participate weekly in kayak and stand up paddle training following introductory sessions generously provided by San Diego Canoe Kayak Team. Pre School in Place provides early childhood development activities and language exposure for refugee families at their apartment complexes.
71
We were pleased to welcome Barbara Alcorn and Donmienne Leung to our Board of Directors in 2017.
VOLUNTEERS The Network is grateful for the work of the Board of Directors, committee members, and the other volunteers who support our clients. They provide tutoring and field trips to the children; distribute food to refugee families; collect, organize and deliver rice, clothing, and household items for our clients; and perform a host of other duties. Recruiting volunteers is a constant and critical function of the organization. RefugeeNet is effective in channeling resources from a broad base of congregations, friends and organizations through our staff and volunteers to our clients.

STANDING COMMITTEE
Standing Committee Members The Rev. Simon Mainwaring, President November 2016 to June 2017 (2017) Mr. Jim Stiven, President June 2017 to November 2017 (2019) Br. John Charles Westaway (2017) Mrs. Helen Astleford (2018) The Rev. Kathleen Kelly (2018) The Rev. Gwynn Lynch, Secretary (2019) Mr. Joe Gamboa (2020) The Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell (2020)
It has been a busy and transformative year for the Diocesan Standing Committee. In late January, Bishop Mathes announced his intent to resign his position in light of his decision to accept a leadership role at the Virginia Theological Seminary. Shortly thereafter, under the direction of its President, Rev. Dr. Simon Mainwaring, and its President-Designate, Jim Stiven, the Standing Committee made a decision to begin a search for an Assisting Bishop, who would serve as Spiritual leader of the Diocese, while the Standing Committee would retain the role of Ecclesiastical Authority for the Diocese during this transitional period. After interviewing several well qualified candidates, the Committee chose the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori to serve as our Assisting Bishop. Bishop Mathes officially left his duties here on June 30, and he was given a fond farewell on July 1 at the Cathedral. Bishop Katharine assumed her duties on August 13. I think I can speak for everyone in saying we are honored and delighted to have Bishop Katharine serving our Diocese. Rev. Dr. Simon Mainwaring also resigned his position effective June 30 to take a position as Rector at All Saints’ Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and Jim Stiven assumed full responsibilities as President of the Standing Committee on July 1.
While dealing with the present leadership of the Diocese, the Standing Committee also moved forward with its duties concerning the future leadership, namely the search and nomination of someone to serve as the Fifth Bishop Diocesan in San Diego. To that end, the Committee had dialogue and training from the Office of Transition Ministry at the Presiding Bishop’s Office, and proceeded to interview and select a Consultant to guide us through the Search, Election and Transition process. From several candidates, we chose the Rev. Ann Hallisey to be our Consultant. Before she ‘retired’, Rev. Hallisey was Dean of Students at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. She also has extensive personal and professional experience with the search and transition process for new Bishops in other Dioceses. With Ann’s guidance and the help of Area Missioners, the Standing Committee recruited and then selected members of the Bishop’s Nominating Committee, who will do the heavy lifting in the search and nominating process. That Committee is in place, has been commissioned, has conducted a Retreat and is moving forward with this important mission.
Aside from these actions just described, the Standing Committee continued to do its other Canonical duties, augmented by its duties as Ecclesiastical Authority. To this end, in 2017, the Standing Committee considered and approved many Parishes’ requests to lease, sell or encumber their property. These requests generally involved such things as cell towers, solar installations, parking or use of facilities by other groups. The Committee approved much of what is involved in the North Park Project. The Committee also considered and approved numerous changes in clerical leadership at several Parishes in the Diocese and consented to the elections of Bishops in other Dioceses. Since the November 2016 Diocesan Convention, the Standing Committee met ten times for regularly scheduled meetings. An additional special meeting was held in August 2017. Because of Bishop Mathes’ resignation in July, the Standing Committee has also held six special meetings to deal with transition issues. Specifically, the following actions were taken:
Consents to Episcopal Consecrations or Elections
• Consented to the election of the Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows as Bishop Diocesan of Indianapolis. • Consented to the election of Rev. Canon Gretchen Mary Rehberg as Bishop Diocesan of Spokane. • Consented to the election of the Rev. John Taylor as Bishop Coadjutor of Los Angeles. • Consented to the election of the Rev. Canon Rafael L. Morales as the Bishop Diocesan of Puerto Rico. • Consented to the election of the Rev. Samuel S.

UNITED THANK OFFERING
“OUR CHANGE CHANGES LIVES” is the moniker United Thank Offering. UTO has combined the Thank Offerings from people in Episcopal churches nationwide since 1889. For 42 years in the Diocese of San Diego, UTO has been helping to change lives by combining its UTO offerings with contributions from other Episcopal Churches. Thanks to the generosity of many, our Diocese has received $662,960 in UTO grants throughout the past 43 years.
This year the Diocese of San Diego was awarded $35,000 for a kitchen upgrade at St. Luke’s in North Park. This upgrade is to accommodate the kitchen activities connected with the MAKE Garden Café Program, a community effort. Our Companion Diocese of Western Mexico grant proposal was also awarded $17,783 for an Indigenous Ministry. This was for a 4X4 truck and construction materials for a worship center and community space in a remote area serving the Pame people.
Each year the UTO grants focus on a slightly different area of ministry. In late November information will be available regarding applications for the 2018 funding cycle. It’s never too early to explore funding needs in your church and the organizations of our Diocese. We will publish funding information as soon as it is available. We have an experienced Grant Review Committee to help you with your proposals. 78
It would be my pleasure to speak to your church about UTO, help with ingathering information and supplies, as well as, your possible grant proposals and the Ingathering process. Please contact me at [email protected] for further information
As you remember God’s generosity of blessings to you often, place your Thank Offerings in your “little Blue Box” as a physical token of your gratitude. Your tangible offerings of thanks, combined with those of others can move mountains as YOUR change changes lives.

YOUTH COLLABORATIVE
• Mission: The EDSD Youth Collaborative is a collective of San Diego parishes invested in youth ministry. We use our common resources to serve youth and families throughout the diocese. We meet quarterly to plan, collaborate, share events and resources, and provide support to those involved in youth ministry. Collaborative events include mission trips, conventions, youth retreats, service opportunities, and various other activities including Nightwatch and Youth Group Olympics. • 2017 Events: In our second year of working together, we were able to create energy and growth around a variety of opportunities. These included: • 4 quarterly youth collaborative meetings hosted in different parishes. • Night Watch – 50+ youth came together at St. Paul’s Cathedral for an overnight Lent offering. This event included a station based program offering opportunities to reflect on this year’s theme “safe haven”, an inflatable jousting tournament, an organ demonstration, a late night Eucharist, and an overnight in the cathedral. • Shine Your Light Epiphany Retreat at Camp Stevens – Youth in grades 6-12 had the opportunity, to connect, bond and serve at Camp Stevens. This retreat’s service project found the youth spreading mulch in the volleyball court as well as in the chapel. This event hosted 27 youth from 8 parishes. • Urban Immersion Middle School Mission Trip – Youth in grades 6-8 spent a long weekend at St. Mark’s in City Heights. This year’s trip focused on food insecurity. The youth completed a clean out of the St. Mark’s pantry, organized and sorted food from Feeding America, assisted with a fresh food distribution for 200 people, and more. There was also a Lord’s Prayer station workshop held in the evening, as well as time for laughter and fun. • The Episcopal Youth Event – 11 youth and 3 chaperones headed to Oklahoma City to participate in the Episcopal Youth Event. This gathering of youth from the entire world is a truly spirit filled week. Youth are engaged in worship, workshops, and an opportunity to get to know other Episcopal youth. They had a day in Oklahoma City which included a visit to the Oklahoma Bombing Museum as well as compline at the memorial. We are looking forward to doubling our numbers for 2020. • Youth Group Olympics – This precursor to convention was hosted by St. Dunstan’s. The youth played games, and worked on activities that built relationships prior to convention. • Diocesan Convention – Happening NOW! Youth are participating in a full convention track which will include workshops, food packing, worship, and an outdoor movie night. • 2018 Scheduled Events: • 4 quarterly youth collaborative meetings. • Lumos! Epiphany Retreat at Camp Stevens – January 5-7 – Grades 6-12 – SOLD OUT! 50 youth registered • Night Watch St. Paul’s Cathedral – March 3-4 – Grades 6-12 • Middle School Mission Trip to L.A.– July 11-14 • Guatemala Mission Trip – High School – June 20-27 • Youth Group Olympics September/October (to be determined) • Diocesan Convention November

Finances
81 Treasurer’s Report to Convention 2017
At the 2016 diocesan convention, a balanced operating budget of $2,365,205 was passed. Also passed was a “Mission Shift” budget of $250,000. The projections as of September 30, 2017 indicate that the year will end with a positive budget variance for operations of $75,872. The 2017 projected actuals are included in the budget tables shown on the next several pages.
Sources of funds which include common life share pledge payments, bishop’s appeal donations, program and ministry donations /fees, investment payout/income and temporarily restricted assets are projected to be higher than budget by $10,064. All sources of income are better than budget except use of temporarily restricted assets and bishop’s appeal. The bishop’s appeal budget is inflated because it assumed that a development director would be hired which would result in an additional $20,000 over the course of the year. Since that person was not hired and no expense was incurred for that person, the actual budget for bishop’s appeal should be $20,000 less. Ministry fees and donations are higher than budget due to unbudgeted North Park Project contributions as well as fees received for youth events. Youth event donations and fees are offset by additional expenditures. Use of temporarily restricted assets is below budget primarily because the North Park project has required less prior year donations due to current year contributions. Common life share pledge income is greater than budget largely due to unbudgeted common life share plus pledges
Operating expenses this year are projected to be lower than budget by $65,808. Episcopate expense is below budget due to staff transitions. Hispanic ministry is below budget because a missioner was not hired. However, 2017 multicultural grants will be awarded out of this budget and $60,000 has been approved by Executive Council to be rolled over to 2018 for multicultural ministry. Fees, donations, and temporarily restricted assets were received and available to offset any expenses significantly over budget with the exception of diocesan property expenses specifically related to St. Anthony’s in Desert Hot Springs.
The St. John’s Chula Vista school cash flow and ultimate closing precipitated the need for the diocese to loan St. John’s $842,721 in 2017 as of October 20. The school property has been leased to Episcopal Community Services (ECS) and the lease revenue will allow the loan to be repaid.
The mission shift budget of $250,000 includes funding for the chief of staff, congregational coach, property missioner, administrative support and strategic planning. With the episcopate transition, strategic planning was deferred so the projected actual expense is $220,000. This is being funded with unrestricted reserves that will be paid back with the proceeds of the sale of future property.
The last year to be audited was 2016. The 2016 audited financial statements show $17.4 million of assets, $437 thousand of liabilities and $17 million in net assets. The link to our audited 2016 financial statements can be found at http://edsd.org/ governance/.
