Bishop Smith, as President of the Convention, called the Convention to Order at 10:38 a.m. and introduced the Very Rev. Mark B. Pendleton, Dean of the Cathedral, who brought greetings and made some announcements. Bishop Smith then called upon the President of the Standing Committee, the Rev. K. Dexter Cheney to certify the voting list of clergy as follows:

The Bishop and Clerical members of the Standing Committee, in accordance with Canon XIII at a meeting on Feb- ruary 15, 2007, prepared a roll of clergy canonically resident in the diocese and entitled to a seat and vote at the special convention on March 10, 2007. The roll is submitted herewith: Bishops ...... 6 Presbyters ...... 310 Deacons ...... 42 Total ...... 358

25 In addition there are 102 presbyters and 3 deacons canonically resident in the diocese who are not entitled to a seat and vote by reason of not complying with Article IV of the Constitution. Respectfully submitted, The Rev. K. Dexter Cheney President of the Standing Committee

The Bishop then called upon Ms. Daphne H. Wilcox, Secretary of the Standing Committee, to present the roll of lay delegates:

The Secretary of the Diocese and Lay Members of the Standing Committee in accordance with Canon XIII at a meeting on February 15, 2007, examined the list of Lay Delegates to the Convention and report as follows: We have carefully examined the certifi cates of election and have verifi ed the names of all delegates and substitutes properly attested and the roll is submitted herewith listing 254 qualifi ed lay delegates.

The Bishop then introduced the Rev. Michel Belt, Rector of St. James, New London, and currently an Assistant Sec- retary of Convention. The Bishop asked the convention to ratify his appointment as Acting Secretary of Convention for this Special Convention, fi lling the position created in response to the requested Leave of Absence by The Rev. Dr. Laura Ahrens, Secretary of Convention and a candidate for Bishop Suffragan, during the term of the nominating and election process. On a voice vote, Rev. Belt was confi rmed.

The Secretary then offered Resolutions of Courtesy to the Visitors and Announcements, including designated areas for delegates and non-delegates, and the prohibition of electronic devices. The Secretary invited the Nominating Commit- tee and the Transitions Committee to stand and be recognized. The Bishop asked Mr. Hebb to move the Order of the Day and the Rules of Order for the Special Convention and explain the method by which each election is reached. The Chancellor read Article IX of the Constitution:

The election of a Bishop (Suffragan) shall be in the following manner: after nominations made in open convention, the two orders (lay and clergy), each voting separately shall then ballot for some fi t and qualifi ed person for the offi ce of Bishop. A concurrent majority of both orders shall be necessary to a choice.

The election of each Bishop (Suffragan) shall be determined by a majority in each order: provided, that if in either order less than three fi fths of all entitled to vote are present, two-thirds of the votes in that order shall be necessary to determine the election.

No applause or audible expression of approval or disapproval shall be permitted during discussion of any matter pending before the Convention. 17. No delegate shall take the fl oor for the purpose of offering any statement regarding any nominee. 18. Except when in confl ict with the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church, Diocese or National, or any action taken by Diocesan Convention, the latest edition of Roberts’ Rules of Order shall give the procedure to be followed. The Bishop then called upon the Chair of the Nominating Committee, the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, to present the nominations for election as Bishop Suffragan. The Rev. Terry presented the following committee nominations: the Rev. Dr. Laura J. Ahrens, the Rev. Sarah Buxton-Smith, the Rev. Canon Thomas J. Furrer, the Rev. Dr. Robert “Odie” Odierna, and the Rev. Dr. Michael Louis Vono. The Bishop then called upon a member of the Nominating Committee, the Rev. Jonathan Folts, to present the nominees by petition: the Rev. Dr. Barbara T. Cheney and the Rev. José A. Díaz-Martinez. There were no nominations from the fl oor and the Bishop declared the nominations closed and directed that the delegates cast the fi rst ballot following the explanation of voting procedures by Canon John W. Spaeth III. The clergy have a pad of blue ballots and the laity a pad of yellow ballots. Ballots will be marked. The voter is to print the last name of their choice on the line provided on the ballots. The ballot should be left unfolded and will be placed upside down in baskets passed by the ushers who will then take them to the counting area. Voters are to ensure the right ballot number is on the 27 ballot submitted. While the ballots are being tabulated, hymns will be sung and collects will be offered. At the direction of the Bishop the convention proceeded to cast the fi rst ballot. The Bishop declared the ballot closed. The Election Committee reported the results of the fi rst ballot to the Bishop who asked Canon Spaeth to read the results so that they might be recorded by the delegates on their tally sheets.

The Bishop then offered a prayer for Laura and Robert. The Convention then sang the Doxology. The Bishop then asked that all delegates sign the testimonials for the election and no one was to leave until the consents had been signed (blue for clergy; yellow for lay). The Acting Secretary of Convention then offered the following resolutions of thanks and recognition: To the Nomination Committee, to the assistant secretaries, tellers, ushers, staff, Mr. Hebb, to the clergy and staff of the Cathedral, to Trinity Church, Hartford, and to Mr. Burt Landman, organist. People were reminded to turn their clocks ahead tonight (the beginning of Daylight Savings Time). The Bishop asked for a motion to adjourn, seconded and passed. He then offered a prayer and gave a blessing and the Convention was adjourned at 3:30 p.m. Andrew Donan Smith, President of the Convention Attest: Michel Belt, Acting Secretary

MINUTES OF THE 223RD ANNUAL CONVENTION Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut

Friday, October 19, 2007 In accordance with the Constitution of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, the Two Hundred and Twenty-Third Annual Convention of the Diocese was held on Friday, October 19 and Saturday, October 20, 2007, in a place designated by the Bishop with the consent of the Diocesan Executive Council, viz, Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut. A “Meet the Candidates Forum” was held in the Cathedral from 10:30am- 12 noon to introduce candidates for General Convention Deputy, Standing Committee and Provincial Synod. The forum was moderated by the Rev. Canon K. Dexter Cheney, President of the Standing Committee. Following lunch and registration at 960 Main Street, Hartford, the Convention was called to order at 1pm by the President of the Convention, the Rt. Rev. Andrew D. Smith, Bishop of Connecticut. The Bishop offered thanks to the Cathedral for hosting the Convention and introduced the dean of the Cathedral, the Very Rev. Mark Pendleton. The Dean brought greetings of the Cathedral to the Convention and gave thanks for the mission of the Cathedral as a spiritual and liturgical center for the people of the Diocese of Connecticut. He welcomed the Convention to the Cathedral and requested that no food or drink other than water be brought into the Cathedral. The Bishop reminded members of Convention to turn off their cell phones and pagers. He then called upon the Rt. Rev. James E. Curry, Bishop Suffragan of Connecticut to introduce the Rt. Rev. Jane Holmes Dixon, Retired Bishop Suffragan of Washington, D.C. who is to serve as the chaplain for the Convention. Bishop Dixon led the Convention in opening devotions.

Bishop Smith introduced the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, who will soon be nominated to serve her ﬁ rst term as Secretary of Convention, the Rev. Marjorie Roccoberton, Deacon, Canon to the Ordinary and Canon Jack Spaeth, Canon for Stewardship and Administration.

29 The Bishop called upon the Rev. Canon K. Dexter Cheney, President of the Standing Committee to certify the roll and voter list for clergy. Report of Credentials: He offered the following preamble: “Consistent with the provisions of the Called to Common Mission and after consultation with Bishop Smith and Chancellor Hebb, the Standing Committee has included among the presbyters with voice and vote the Rev. Martha Klein Larsen, serving St. James, Danbury and the Rev. Mark Lingle, serving at St. Francis, Stamford, ordained clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.” The Convention responded with applause. The Bishop and Clerical Members of the Standing committee, in accordance with Canon XIII, at a meeting on 18 October 2007 prepared a roll of clergy canonically resident in the diocese and entitled to a seat and vote at the annual convention on October 19 & 20, 2007. The roll is submitted herewith: Bishops 7 Presbyters 323 Deacons 52 Total 382 In addition to the above clergy there are 96 presbyters and 3 deacons canonically resident in the diocese who are not entitled to a seat and vote by reason of not complying with Article IV of the Constitution. Respectfully submitted, The Rev. Canon K. Dexter Cheney, President of the Standing Committee

The Bishop received the report and thanked Dexter for his service on the Standing Committee and for chairing the Candidates’ Forum earlier today. Dexter completes his term on the Standing Committee upon the conclusion of this Convention. The Bishop introduced Ms. Sylvia Ho, the Secretary of the Standing Committee to certify the roll of lay delegates to this Convention as follows: The Secretary of the Diocese and the lay members of the Standing Committee in accordance with Canon XIII, at a meeting on 18 October, 2007, examined the list of Lay Delegates to the Convention and report as follows: We have carefully examined the certifi cates of election and have verifi ed the names of all delegates and substitutes properly attested and the roll is submitted herewith 261 qualifi ed lay delegates. In addition, there are 9 lay members of the Executive Council, 4 lay members of the Standing Committee, 5 lay deputy members to the General Convention, and 3 elected lay Deans and Sub-deans who are ex-offi cio members of the Convention with voice and vote. This is a total of 282 lay delegates. Respectfully submitted, Sylvia Ho, Secretary of the Standing Committee

The Bishop thanked Sylvia for her ﬁ ve years of faithful service on the Standing Committee as she completes her term at this Convention. The Bishop reminded the Convention that we will vote by a show of hands, rather than by voice to accommodate members of our non-hearing communities and to assure better accuracy of the vote count. He also reminded the Convention of the custom to refer to one another by our baptismal names rather than by title. The Bishop nominated the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry to serve as Secretary of Convention. She has already been elected by the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council to serve the remainder of the term vacated by Bishop Laura Ahrens upon her election as bishop suffragan. Ellie is the Vicar of St. Paul’s, Plainﬁ eld. The nomination was seconded and she was elected. The Bishop then appointed the following assistant secretaries to assist Ellie: June Aziz, Christ Church Cathedral, the Rev. Michal Belt, St. James’ New London, Melissa Haas, Christ Church, Roxbury, the Rev. Dexter Cheney, Church of the Holy Spirit, West Haven, the Rev. Agnes Johnson, Good Shepherd, Orange, and the Rev. Amy Welin, Christ Church, Ansonia. The Convention Election Committee was appointed by the Bishop as follows: the Rev. Bruce Torrey, St. John’s East

30 Windsor and Robert Kissell, St. Mark’s, New Britain to be Head Tellers with the Rev. Jane White-Hassler and Stephen Cobb as tellers assisted by Canon Jack Spaeth and Chancellor Ed Hebb.

The Rev. Tom Furrer moved the nomination on behalf of the Nominations Committee be approved as presented. These appointments were approved by show of hand. The Bishop asked that the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council be given authority to fi ll any vacancies which might occur between Conventions. The motion was seconded and approved. Sharon Pearson, Coordinator of Children’s Ministries for the Diocese of CT, referred to a resolution passed at General Convention 2006 that all future General Conventions include children’s programs in their agendas and recommended that all dioceses do the same. There is still room for children to attend the children’s program that will take place during this Convention on Saturday. It is open to all children ages 6-12. Please refer to the registration form mailed to all delegates or see Sharon for more information. The Bishop offered warm welcome to visitors in attendance, including Bishop Henri Isingoma and his wife, Mugisa, from the Diocese of Boga in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He also welcomed back to Connecticut, the Rev. Evalyn Wakhusama chair of WIKS (Women’s Initiative for Knowledge and Survival) and Pastor of St. John’s Anglican Church in Nairobi, Kenya. The Bishop gave thanks for the hospitality of the Capital Region Community College where all of the Convention workshops will be held Friday afternoon. He introduced Dr. Calvin E. Woodland, President of the College, who received a warm welcome by the Convention. Dr. Woodland thanked the Convention and welcomed the Diocese. Eleanor Terry announced that non-delegates in attendance are to sit in designated areas of the Cathedral balcony. Exceptions are made for canonically resident priests in charge who are ineligible to vote, non-canonically resident interim pastors and non-canonically resident assistant clergy so that they may sit with their parish delegations, but not vote. Delegates seated in areas not designated for delegates will not have their votes counted. Anyone with physical disabilities or those for whom climbing the stairs would present a hardship are invited to remain on the fi rst fl oor, whether voting delegate or not. She announced that any printing/copying or securing of caucus rooms needs to be approved by either the Secretary of Convention or Jack Spaeth. She reminded delegates that distribution or placement of any written material at the registration/vendor area is prohibited without her approval. Bishop Smith invited Marge Roccoberton, Canon to the Ordinary and Deacon Donald Richey, Archdeacon of the Diocese, to introduce those persons newly ordained or appointed. The Rev. Canon Roccoberton introduced fi ve transitional deacons ordained earlier this year: The Rev. Ron Kolonowski, serving at Trinity, Hartford The Rev. Susan Wyper, serving at St. Matthew’s, Bedford, NY The Rev. Trish Cunningham, serving at St. Paul’s, Riverside The Rev. Janie Donohue, serving at St. Ann’s, Old Lyme The Rev. José Martinez, serving at Church of the Good Shepherd, Hartford She also introduced fi ve clergy newly ordained outside of Connecticut, but now serving here: The Rev. Barbara Briggs, Trinity Hartford The Rev. Andrew Walter, St. Luke’s, Darien The Rev. John Satula, St. Matthew’s, Wilton The Rev. Stephen Ling

Archdeacon Richey announced and introduced ten new deacons serving our Diocese. All were ordained on Sept. 15, 2007: Carolyn Sue Archer, Doreen Ann Bottone, Douglas Brian Engwall, Lee Forshaw, Nancy Elizabeth Gage, Donna Claire Wodarek Gray, Christopher Michael Holms, Patricia Gladys Jackson, Elizabeth Ann Knauff, and Edrice Veronica Viechweg. The Convention welcomed them with their applause. Bishop Smith called upon Canon Edwin Hebb to present the Order of the Day and Rules of Order for this Convention. Canon Hebb, on behalf of the Committee on Constitution and Canons, moved the adoption of the Order of the Day as set forth on the green form in the registration packet. 33 The Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut 2007 Diocesan Convention Proposed Order of the Day Friday, October 19, 2007 10:00am-1pm Registration at 960 Main 10:30am Meet the Candidates Forum in the Cathedral 12:00pm Lunch available for those with reservations, 960 Main 1:00pm Call to Order; Opening Prayers and Hymn in the Cathedral 1:10pm Introduction of Candidates; Other Details 1:30pm Bishop’s Address, the Right Reverend Andrew D.

It was seconded and approved. Canon Hebb also presented an amendment to the Rules of Order, governing the election of deputies to General Convention and the Provincial Synod and an amendment governing the election of two clerical members of the Standing Committee, as set forth on the pink sheet distributed to each delegate, and as recorded here: “All nominations for positions to be fi lled by ballot by the Diocesan Convention must be made in writing and signed by ten members or members-elect of the next Diocesan Convention. All such nominations shall be in the hands of the Secretary at least eight weeks before the Convention. General Convention/Provincial Synod: The candidates (to the required number) receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected, provided that, in the case of the fi rst ballot that number be a majority of the whole number of votes cast for said offi ce; and provided further that, if there be a failure to elect the required number of persons on the fi rst ballot, or if a tie occur in the case of two or more persons having the same number of votes, another ballot shall be taken immediately for the places unfi lled and, in either of such events, the candidates (to the required number) receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected, the polls to be opened for that purpose for such time as the President shall direct. The next four candidates receiving the highest number of votes but not elected as deputies shall be declared elected as Alternate Deputies (Supplemental Deputies). Procedural note: General Convention: For the election of General Convention Deputies, there is one ballot with all nominee names thereon for each Order. The four highest vote getters are named as deputies in each Order and the next four highest are declared Alternate Deputies (Supplemental Deputies) in each Order. Standing Committee: For the election of members of the Standing Committee when two are to be elected in the Clerical Order as at this convention, there is one ballot with all candidates thereon. The two highest vote getters are named as clerical members with the highest vote getter elected to the fi ve year term and the next highest to the remaining one year term.” Both the adoption of the Order of the Day and the amendment to the Rules of Order were seconded and passed with no discussion. Canon Hebb reminded the Convention of the Special Order of the Day that was adopted in May, 1983: “Anyone moving 34 the adoption of a resolution may speak to it for up to fi ve minutes. Any subsequent speakers pro or con will be limited to two minutes each. No one may speak a second time to the same resolution until all others wishing to speak have done so.” He further reminded the delegates that it is appropriate to address Bp. Smith, in his capacity as Chair of Convention, as “Mr. President.” Canon Hebb and Bp. Smith indicated the two fl oor microphones from which anyone addressing Convention are to speak. During debate of resolutions, one microphone shall be designated for those speaking in favor of the resolution, and one shall be designated for those speaking against the resolution. Only calls to second a resolution, and calls for a point of order may be from the seats. All other parliamentary motions and debate must be made from the fl oor microphones. Only those recognized by the Chair may speak. Bp. Smith further reminded the Convention that only members of Convention are entitled to speak to a resolution or report on any matter unless they have the permission of the Chair and have received a 2/3 vote of the Convention to speak. Bishop Smith asked for any new resolutions to be introduced to this 223rd Convention that were drafted after the deadline for inclusion in the pre-Convention mailing. He recognized the Rev. Canon K. Dexter Cheney, President of the Standing Committee. Canon Cheney submitted a Resolution (to be entitled Resolution # 9), “On the Merger of the Parishes of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Enfi eld, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Enfi eld and Calvary Episcopal Church, Suffi eld, Connecticut into One Parish.” It was explained that the reason this resolution is submitted late is because the Resolutions Committee meeting on September 6 preceded the September 20 meeting of the Standing Committee at which this merger was approved. It is therefore necessary to seek a two-thirds vote of the 223rd Convention to allow this resolution to be placed on the fl oor for debate and consideration. A two-thirds majority was secured and the Resolution will be included for consideration on October 20. Copies of the text of the Resolution were made available to the delegates. There were no further resolutions to come before this Convention. Bishop Smith then gave his annual address to the Convention.

BISHOP’S ADDRESS EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF CONNECTICUT CONVENTION 2007

This address is the ninth time that I have had the privilege of addressing the Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut as your bishop. As I look back over the year past, it seems to have been a time of waking and stretching – to begin to move out of a time of the Church’s internal preoccupation with itself and to take a giant step into a morning of new mission, evangelism and social outreach.

PEOPLE SERVING

The ﬁ rst part of this address is dedicated to naming a number of people who are central to our life and witness.

Sharon Pearson. She has served faithfully and creatively as our fi rst Coordinator of Children’s Ministries in our diocese, and Sharon will leave our staff on November 15. We fi rst knew her as a very part-time director of the Paul Vieth Center, a source of Christian education resources, at Yale Divinity School. She joined our staff part-time, to help us realize the diocesan-wide ministry with children, which has been one of our three focuses for our life these past eight years. Serving full-time since January 2004, she has built a personal and electronic ministry among us which has touched children, teachers and parents – and many more of us – not only in the Diocese of Connecticut but in General Convention and across the Episcopal Church. This summer Church Publishing Company, an affi liate of the Church Pension Group, came looking for her, asking her to establish a new division for curriculum and general publishing for Christian Formation for children, youth and adults. They could not have chosen better. So we must say thank you, and fare-well, to Sharon as she assumes a senior position at Church Publishing, and we are so proud that her talents, energy and faith will support ministry in the wider venue of The Episcopal Church.

Erik Larsen. Having served parishes in Connecticut and the Cathedral in Hong Kong, Erik joined our staff in January this year, and is Canon for Transition Ministries. His parish ministry, training in confl ict resolution and his service as a diocesan search consultant, his love of fl y fi shing, as well as his gifts and spirit, equip him for this special work. In addition to expanding the support for parishes seeking clergy, Erik also is working to expand the support we can give to clergy seeking parishes and other ministries. There has been a steep learning curve, for sure, and lots of surprises, and as he nears his fi rst anniversary, I want to acknowledge the admiration and joy that I have in serving with Erik.

Jack Spaeth. I mention him not because he is going anywhere, but because he is among us, serving on diocesan staff now for twenty-eight years. He is a dear companion in ministry, and a dear friend. I also mention him because on Monday he will be in the hospital for the fi rst of two operations to correct the collapsed bones in his right foot. And he will be convalescing at home for a number of weeks. Even though he has arranged for a working telephone and computer 35 there. Even though we will run a shuttle with paperwork to Middletown, please consult our on-line resources before calling in to the offi ce to ask questions. Please do pray for Jack in these coming weeks. And for his wife Susan. And for Cindy Winslow, who joined our staff as Jack’s part-time assistant in 2002, and now serves as Controller for the diocese, responsible for our fi nancial operations.

Guy Cambria. When he began his service as Treasurer of the Diocese in 1997 – a volunteer position – Guy walked into Diocesan House and began asking thousand of questions, about everything. We wondered what we had gotten into. I think he did too. Both the questions and his presence have proved to be blessings over the years. He has been instrumental as a catalyst as we have refi ned and developed fi nancial policies for the diocese, and fi nancial accountability among our parishes (read: audits!), as we have had to face signifi cantly increased legal costs because of suits fi led by members of the diocese, and as we have worked to increase the ministry and viability of Camp Washington. Having served eleven years, he has decided to relinquish the position of Treasurer of this Diocese. Guy, we thank you and we thank God sincerely for your service. We shall miss you, we shall miss the stories you tell of yourself and Canon Spaeth as kids in Middletown, and we shall long cherish your love and devotion to this diocese.

Joan Bray. The “dean” of diocesan consultants. Extraordinary teacher of search committees and vestries. Unﬂ agging encourager of priests and bishops. Longtime and faithful member of Christ Church Avon. For thirty-ﬁ ve years, Joan has been one of a handful of lay members of the diocese to whom bishops, priests and parishes could turn whenever they sought help with their mission and life. (That’s especially true for me; Joan was consultant for two of the parishes to which I was called as rector.) She has been a spokeswoman for placing Jesus in the center of all our hopes and plans. She has told truth to parishes and to clergy. She has brought enormous experience and vision into hopeful and not-so- hopeful situations. With her husband Bob Bray, whom so many of us remember so fondly, she was engaged in supporting the Hastings Open Golf tournament to provide scholarships for children to go to Camp Washington. - The time came this summer for Joan to sell the family home in Avon and retire – if that’s the right word? – to Florida, near her children. When she came to tell me, we both had tears in our eyes. But Connecticut is far the richer, wiser and healthier for her ministry among us. We wish Joan every blessing in her new home, and assure her that she always will have a home among us here.

One person more, and then a category of folk, to mention.

A name new to most of us here. Brad Babbitt. With this Convention, I appoint (and I shall ask Convention to ratify the appointment) Brad Babbitt as Vice Chancellor of the Diocese of Connecticut. A Chancellor must be a member of the Church who serves as legal advisor to the Bishop of the Diocese. Canon Ed Hebb is our Chancellor. During the thirty-two years he has served four bishops, he has seen the importance and scope of this (unpaid) ministry expand exponentially. Litigation has become a common tool in our society. In recent years we have had to face unprecedented legal initiatives, including issues have moved us into arenas not clearly deﬁ ned in the Constitution and Canons. At the same time requests from our parishes for advice and expertise have increased. The interface between civil and canon law is a hot area of interest among attorneys. Time has come, said Canon Hebb, for a Vice Chancellor. Brad and his family are members of Saint John’s West Hartford, and Brad is an attorney with Robinson and Cole, a ﬁ rm with historic family ties to this diocese. It has been a joy to come to know Brad better, and we welcome him into a new place and ministry among us.

The category of folk are “Retired Clergy Who Serve Actively in Parishes.” That may seem to be an oxymoron, but it isn’t. We have more than forty parishes in which the clergy who serve, serve on less than a full-time basis. To fi nd clergy to serve on a part-time basis is diffi cult. In many of these parishes, it is retired clergy who have answered a continuing call from the Lord and from the Church to continue to serve as priests in leadership. Retired clergy, serving actively in any capacity, please hold up a hand or stand. Many have served in more than one parish, including David Pritchard and George Hall. George, you will celebrate the fi ftieth anniversary of your ordination in two weeks, and I believe you hold “the record” number of parishes served long term in retirement: nine. We give you all our thanks for your leadership, perspective, constancy and love in Christ. Thank you!

There is one person more to celebrate, Bishop Laura Ahrens, but I want to wait for that until later in this address.

PARISHES IN DISAGREEMENT

Almost all of us, I think, are aware that for the past four years members of several congregations have been at odds with The Episcopal Church and with Connecticut’s Bishop, especially concerning how to interpret Scripture and the place of gay and lesbian persons in serving as ordained clergy. There has been movement from the standoff of the previous three years, and I want to take this opportunity to bring the Diocese up to date on where we stand today.

36 Ecclesiastical charges. Clergy and lay leaders of fi ve diocesan parishes brought to the Presiding Bishop canonical charges against me for actions that I had taken with Saint John’s Parish in Bristol in July, 2005. The charges were referred to the Review Committee of the Court for the Trial of a Bishop. After extremely thorough investigation – at signifi cant cost to The Episcopal Church and to this diocese – in April this year the Review Committee, in a lengthy and signifi cant report, determined that there was no cause to bring a presentment, which would have led to a church court trial. That case is closed.

Civil charges. Clergy and lay leaders from the same fi ve parishes also fi led a suit in Federal Court against the Bishop and other persons of the diocese, again concerning actions which had been taken with Saint John’s Bristol in July, 2005. After the various motions and responses had been fi led with the Federal judge in Connecticut, she dismissed the suit, whereon the plaintiffs, clergy and members of the Diocese, appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. That appeal could not be dismissed, it had to be argued. Our court date was for September, and our attorneys had prepared the diocese’s case. In August the plaintiffs asked that their appeal be withdrawn. The Court of Appeals allowed the withdrawal of the appeal, on the condition that the plaintiffs pay the diocese’s court fi ling costs (less than two hundred dollars) and give a thousand dollars each to the diocesan attorney and the attorney for the Presiding Bishop, and do that within ten days. They did. So that case is closed, and the fi nding of the lower court stands.

The litigation brought against the Diocese, initiated by members of the diocese, which has cost our diocese more than four hundred thousand dollars, is over.

Concerning the parishes themselves, we ﬁ nd ourselves in a different place from a year ago.

Trinity Episcopal Church, Bristol. After some months, apparently, of secret conversation and formal application – without warning or discussion with me or any other diocesan leader – on Pentecost Sunday 2007, the congregation of Trinity Bristol announced that it had withdrawn from the Diocese and The Episcopal Church and had afﬁ liated with the Anglican Church of Nigeria. I learned of this decision through a newspaper reporter’s phone call. Then came a letter from an attorney representing the congregation threatening me or any others I might send with arrest for trespassing should we step foot on the property.

In spite of established case law in Connecticut, and in spite of clear and consistent legal rulings across the country which determine that Episcopal parish property and possessions are held in trust for the diocese and for The Episcopal Church, the members of the congregation have claimed that the Trinity Episcopal Church property is “theirs.” In light of the customs of Anglicanism, Canon law and civil rulings, I cannot understand why those who choose to leave this Church insist on claiming its property. And I wonder who is advising them in a course that again brings us into court.

With the advice of the clergy members of the Standing Committee in June I deposed the former Rector of Trinity Bristol, Donald Helmandollar as a priest of this Church. I have appointed the Rev. Stanley Kemmerer as Priest in Charge of Trinity Bristol. Stan has been contacting members of the congregation, and has been faithful in providing sacramental ministry to Trinity members who are homebound and in convalescent homes.

Christ and the Epiphany, East Haven. Here the story is different. Unlike Trinity, Bristol, I met with the congregation and Vestry of Christ and the Epiphany, several times as they decided on their future. Gil Wilkes, while he was Rector, and I have talked, e-mailed and met from time to time over these past four years. On September 30, my having signed the requisite papers, Gil retired and resigned as Rector of Christ and the Epiphany. As he told me he would, and since has veriﬁ ed in writing, he renounced his ordination in The Episcopal Church and joined the Anglican Church of Nigeria. Gil has formed a congregation in East Haven of the Nigerian Anglican Church. I have placed the matter of his renunciation before the clergy members of the Standing Committee, and with their advice and consent I shall release him from the privileges and responsibilities of ordination in this Church.

September 30 was the last Sunday that the former community of Christ and the Epiphany worshipped together. Half the members have chosen to stay in The Episcopal Church. They have formed a new Vestry, with whom I have met. They are eager to get on with their life and mission, and I have pledged that we – the diocese – all of us -- will support the rebuilding of the parish. Sunday, October 7 was the ﬁ rst time that the “new” Christ and the Epiphany gathered for worship, with Bishop Ahrens presiding and preaching at both services.

Three other parishes. I am pleased that, after several meetings, with the Vestry and members in Bishop Seabury Church, Groton, and after the ordination of the Rev. Bill Hesse there as a priest, I made a canonical Episcopal Visitation to the parish on Trinity Sunday. I presided and preached at both services, and we administered Holy Baptism at the later liturgy. This fall, the Rector of Saint Paul’s Darien asked to meet with me for lunch, to begin to rebuild our relationship; it was an

37 invitation I responded to with gladness. Several weeks ago the Rector of Christ Church Watertown, emailed concerning the status of background checks. In that email he indicated that the congregation in Watertown will reach a decision about their future in December, and that I would hear of the decision directly from them. Directly in response, I asked to meet with the congregation well before any decision is made. The meeting is scheduled for this coming Thursday evening.

Even though, as some clergy have said, “there is no guarantee about the future,” in the case of each of these latter four parishes the situation has changed. The season of litigation is over, and in each of these relationships we now are engaged in conversation face to face. For this progress I give thanks to God. Please let’s all continue to hold hope and offer prayer.

THE CHURCH IN COMMUNION

It’s when we turn outward, in fellowship with one another in our individual lives, our parishes, our diocese, the Anglican Communion, it’s then that our sights are raised and we see the Church in its strength and joy, which is its mission.

The spirit of the Fall House of Bishops meeting in New Orleans was extraordinary. We heard clear statements – not many questions, but clear statements, some of them confronting to be sure – from several guests who are members of the Anglican Consultative Council. For me the presence and ministry of the Archbishop of Canterbury was a blessing. To hear him speak of the situation of his own ministry, and gently to challenge us in ours, is so different from reading about him through the press or even unpacking his own writing. Our response from the House to the Archbishop and the Anglican Consultative Council members was that we are who we are. The agreement was approved overwhelmingly. It does not satisfy anyone completely. And our policies and practices concerning pastoral blessings remain as they are.

We certainly are not of one mind in this Church – which some insist that we be. We cherish the Anglican Communion in all its diversity. And we believe that as The Episcopal Church worships and serves Christ not agreeing in all things, we live squarely in the historic and generous tradition of the Anglican Communion.

I am also encouraged by the consultation of American and African Bishops held in Spain last July – a meeting that both Bishop Curry and I attended. “Walking to Emmaus.” There we did meet day after day, face to face, eye to eye, everyone “at the table” and at the altar. It is so different from scanning postings on the internet, where even the most scurrilous of opinions somehow gains credibility. The gifts in our time of “walking together” in Spain were bright new understandings and new heartfelt relationships, and moments of deep reconciliation, all leading us to the discovery of a unity that is in Christ – not in doctrinal agreement, but in Christ. As your three Connecticut bishops have reﬂ ected together, we have come to see and embrace a new facet of ministry which has opened in episcopal ministry: relationships and mission with Anglicans outside the diocese as well as within. Our two hundred-twenty year connection with Aberdeen and Orkney, Scotland, celebrated by clergy visits for episcopal ordinations, one here, one there, this summer and fall. Our happily developing Companion Relationship with the Diocese of Colombia, where I hope to spend a portion of my sabbatical next spring. Mission friendship with the Diocese of Lebombo, Mozambique, which will be strengthened through a mission trip led by Bishop Curry later this month. Bishop Tengatenga of Southern Malawi, our guest in Hartford in September.

And in this Convention we welcome with joy new friends, Bishop Henri Isingoma and his wife Mugisa of the Diocese of Boga, Democratic Republic of the Congo. I have asked Bishop Henri to address us later in this Convention. Bishop Isingoma and I met at the Walking to Emmaus consultation in Spain this past July. The Diocese of Boga has never had a companion relationship elsewhere in the Communion, and this is Bishop Henri’s and his wife’s ﬁ rst trip to the United States. As we have lived together these past few days in our home, we have begun to know and cherish each other as sisters and brothers in Christ.

Such relationships as these, in number and depth, were not part of episcopal ministry ten years ago. More parishes and clergy in our diocese are discovering the gospel joy of these links. They form a new basis for enriching the gospel of Jesus Christ among us, and equipping us to carry the Word outward in so many ways. What a joy! The Anglican Communion is a true blessing, difﬁ cult as it is at times for everyone, and it is our special gift to the Church and the world.

CONNECTICUT

We your bishops see our life and ministry within our diocese as a springboard which teaches, empowers, launches and renews us in the mission of Christ.

38 The Rt. Rev. Laura Ahrens, ordained in June to be a Bishop in the Church of God. Bishop Ahrens’ energy, her questions, her faith and her insights have so enriched and enlivened our common life as diocesan leaders. She has been ready and fearless in accepting challenges and initiatives in our diocesan and church life. She seeks to rebuild the health and effectiveness of our diocesan committees to support our mission. She has assumed oversight of the deacons and their ministries in the diocese. Marriage judgments go to her. She has joined Bishop Curry and me in supporting pastoral care for our parishes and clergy. She will support the many chaplaincies in the diocese, including hospitals, universities and schools, and prison ministry. Bishop Ahrens truly has moved in and “taken her share in the councils of the Church,” serving on the steering committee of the New England Consultation of Church Leaders, and a member of Bishops Working for a Global Society. It is such a blessing to be bishops three once again, and I am thrilled with the eagerness and joy with which Bishop Ahrens has moved into the leadership ministry for which we have chosen her.

Bishop Curry, a companion with me in ministry now for more than ten years, has been a constant and effective pastor among us. He continues to encourage and work for the expansion of ministry among children and young people. One enormous “good work” for the special beneﬁ t of young people this past year has been the extensive renovation of the four duplex cabins at Camp Washington. The work, under Director Jean Handler’s direct supervision, has increased the Camp’s attractiveness, vastly improved the quality of its year-round accommodations, and infused a strong new spirit and potential into Camp Washington’s life and program. Something you may not know: Bishop Curry is coordinator of the bishops of this Church who seek to present the gospel mandates of justice and mercy to leaders of our federal government. Just this week he chaired a meeting of bishops in Washington, during which participants learned more about legislation concerning national issues on which our Church has spoken, and met with Members of Congress to encourage them to enact legislation which reﬂ ects with the worldwide vision and mandate which we see through our companionship in the gospel. There is so much that is blessing upon blessing. More and more our diocese and our parishes are discovering mission. A real joy of my ministry is to travel with Jack Spaeth to meet in parishes to “present our shows” about stewardship, about parish life choices, about mission in Christ. When at times a moment comes in those presentations, when the silence breaks over us as folk “get it” -- see in a new way that Jesus is about giving ourselves for others -- my heart leaps in happiness. The teaching ministry of breaking open the gospel so it can speak to our hearts in anew is truly a joy in serving Christ.

There is so much that lies ahead of us for Christ. In the Treasurer’s report you will see that the 2006 diocesan year ended with about $500,000. in unexpended funds. How did this happen you may ask. We are a diocese which depends on the giving of our parishes for 96% of our Diocesan Budget. We always have budgeted income very very conservatively, and we have spent money very carefully. There were several staff positions, including a bishop’s offi ce, unfi lled. Contributions from you the past several years have exceeded Convention’s expectations. It’s a sign of blessing and vitality and growth in mission and stewardship among our parishes, and I thank you, especially those parishes which have stretched and sacrifi ced to meet the proportion passed by Convention.

So, is this a time for dialing back on contributions? Good God, no! Have we been too timid in planning for mission together? Perhaps, yes. The harvest before us is plentiful, sisters and brothers. There is so much more for us to be and do for Christ, especially in supporting mission outreach and evangelism in Connecticut and in the Communion, in witnessing for justice and social change, in supporting spiritual and mission development in our parishes. None of that unspent giving is carried forward into 2007. As is our custom, the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council put every dollar of those funds to work in speciﬁ c ways. The money has been distributed for a variety of mission ventures and designated for other diocesan necessities that otherwise would not have been funded. Keep up the good work! And may our witness and life increase from strength to strength.

I want to mention one side of my ministry as bishop which you may now know about – that is, engagement in ecumenical and interfaith relationships. I am ﬁ nishing a second two-year term as President of the Christian Conference of Connecticut, which is a statewide organization of Christian leaders who meet regularly for fellowship, for discussion, and when appropriate to address the public together on issues that face our society. Among the major activities to which we have committed ourselves is opposition to the death penalty in Connecticut. CHRISCON has promoted interfaith dialogue for many years. It has been hard in these times to ﬁ nd our ecumenical voice, but know that there is a group of judicatory heads -- “bishops and bishop-types” -- who are personally committed, and meet and pray and confer regularly.

Interfaith relationships. In these times fraught with worldwide religious tension, I am coming to know our neighbors who are Muslim far better. The Hartford Seminary, almost in our backyard, is an unequalled resource for effecting understanding and conversation among Muslims, Christians and Jews. Several Islamic organizations in Connecticut have reached out to Christians and Jews, asking us to know who they are, and seeking for us to work and serve our communities together. Many of us know of the “Abrahamic House” in which persons of all three faiths have been

39 building a Habitat House in Hartford. Brother and sister Christians in conﬂ icted parts of the world marvel that we meet and talk and work with one another, for that certainly is not the case where they live. Again, in these new relationships I believe we are seeing a gift beyond conﬂ ict, even beyond tolerance, that can point a way into our world’s future.

As I now have begun my ninth year as diocesan, it continues to be a privilege and a joy to serve as a bishop in The Episcopal Church. I wish you could “ride on my shoulder” and know as I do what a marvel this diocese is.

In my devotions, in formal prayer time and even while driving, I ﬁ nd a source of nurture for my life in Christ in the hymns of our Church. I’ve been privileged to have grown up with many of these hymns, and they are under my skin, in my soul. They under-gird my meditation, they inform my prayers, they ﬁ ll my spirit.

There is one hymn that has been playing in my mind as I have prepared for this Convention. It’s near the beginning of the Hymnal 1982, Hymn 10, written by John Keble in the early nineteenth century.

Its opening line is, “New every morning is the love.” What a deep gospel truth! New every morning is the love, our wakening and uprising prove: through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. New mercies each returning day around us hover while we pray, new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. Old friends, old scenes will lovelier be, as more of heaven in each we see… Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, ﬁ t us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

A little sentimental, perhaps, but it works. As another hymn proclaims, Our God is an awesome God, and that God in love of Christ who gave himself on the cross has breathed life and new life into each of us and then called us to service. So we have a special life to live and mighty work to do. In everything may God’s name be gloriﬁ ed, and through Christ living in us may this world be blessed.

At the conclusion of his address, Bishop Smith called upon Chancellor Ed Hebb to present a motion to ratify the appointment of Mr. Bradford S. Babbitt, Esq. as Vice Chancellor for the Diocese of Connecticut. Motion seconded and approved. Mr. Babbitt received the welcome of the Bishop and the members of Convention. He begins his position as Vice Chancellor with this Convention. Bishop Curry introduced Ms. Enola Aird as the featured speaker for the afternoon. Ms. Aird, a self-described activist mother, is founder and director of the Motherhood Project based at the Institute for American Values in New York City and a member of St. Luke’s Parish, New Haven. At the conclusion of her prepared remarks, Ms. Aird addressed a few questions and comments from the Convention audience. A presentation by the Seabury Retirement Community followed.

40 Saturday, October 20, 2007

7:30am Morning Prayer at Christ Church Cathedral. 8:00am Registration opened at 960 Main Street and First Ballot. 9:00am Bishop Smith called the Convention to order and announced that the ﬁ rst ballot was closed. He called upon Bp. Jane Dixon, Chaplain to the 223rd Convention, to led the morning devotions.

The Secretary of Convention, the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, reminded delegates to please silence cell phones and pagers. She instructed non-delegates and alternates to sit in the designated sections of the balcony. Exceptions are made for those with physical disabilities and non-canonically resident priests-in-charge, non-canonically resident assistant clergy and non-canonically resident interim pastors, all of whom may sit with their delegations on the convention ﬂ oor. Voting delegates need to make sure they are on the convention ﬂ oor or in the center of the balcony to ensure their votes are counted. The Rev. Terry instructed that all votes will be taken by a show of hands. Bishop Suffragan Laura Ahrens introduced the keynote speaker, the Rev. Dr. James B. Lemler, Director of Mission for the Episcopal Church. Dr. Lemler offered the keynote address. Bishop Smith again welcomed Bishop Henri Isingoma, Bishop of the Diocese of Boga, Democratic Republic of Congo and his wife, Mugisa, to our Diocese. He invited Bp. Isingoma to address the Convention, assisted by the Rev. Wectnick Paul who helped translate. The Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Secretary of Convention, was called upon to read the Proposed Constitutional Amendments to Article I.2 and Article VIII of the Constitution of the Episcopal Church, as required by the 75th General Convention of the Episcopal Church. A written copy of these amendments was included in the registration packet for all delegates. The amendments read as follows:

A020: Amend Article I.2 Resolved, That Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution be amended as follows: All Bishops of this Church, except any excluded by canon or under the Rules of the House, shall have seat and voice in the House of Bishops. Each Bishop of this Church having jurisdiction, Bishop Coadjutor, Bishop Suffragan, Assistant Bishop, and every bishop holding an ofﬁ ce created by General Convention shall have a vote in the House of Bishops. A majority of all Bishops entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for transaction of business. And be it further Resolved, That this amendment to Article I, Section 2, shall take effect immediately upon passage.

A021: Amend Article VIII Resolved, That the last paragraph of Article VIII of the Constitution be amended to read as follows: A bishop may permit an ordained minister in good standing in a Church with which this Church is in full communion as specifi ed by the Canons who has made the foregoing declaration, or a minister ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America or its predecessor bodies who had made the promise of conformity required by that Church in place of the foregoing declaration to offi ciate on a temporary basis as an ordained minister of this church. And be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution shall be sent to the Secretary of Convention of every Diocese to be made known to the Diocesan Convention at its next meeting, and be adopted by the General convention at its next succeeding regular meeting. Bishop Smith clarifi ed that the fi rst amendment removes the vote of retired bishops from the House of Bishops. They will still have seat and voice, but no vote. He stated that the “foregoing declaration” referred to in the second amendment above is the declaration required of all ordained persons in the Episcopal church, “…I do believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, and to contain all things necessary to salvation; and I do solemnly engage to conform to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Episcopal Church.” (BCP p. 526). Bp. Smith explained that this amendment allows members of the ELCA and certain other churches to make a declaration consistent with their own Church that will be acceptable for them to serve on a temporary basis in this Church. Reports to the Annual Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut

Bishop Smith suspended the rule, for the purpose of making reports, that requires a 2/3 vote for non-members of convention to address the ﬂ oor. He referred delegates to the Report packet found in their registration materials.

41 The following reports were presented in person. CAMP WASHINGTON: Jean V. Handler, Executive Director Camp Washington, the camp and retreat center of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, is completing its 90th year serving the people of the Diocese and beyond.

This spring we completed the renovation of the cabins, on time and under budget. The renovation added new tiled baths, changing rooms, a small meeting space, private sleeping area for chaperones/camp staff and new wooden bunk beds and mattresses. These winterized cabins have been praised by all who have seen them and used them.

Summer Camp continued to grow with several weeks ﬁ lled and others with wait lists. We offered $23,000 in scholarship assistance for 70 campers which was made possible by proceeds from the Camp Washington – Hastings Open and donations from parishes, church service groups and individuals.

New camping programs were introduced including horseback riding lessons and an Art Camp with tracks of either dance or painting and drawing. Both proved successful.

Our relationship with Natures Classroom, an independent environmental education program, continues during the week in the fall and spring totaling 21 weeks and averaging 100 children per week in 2006. This is an overnight program for middle school students often staying 3 to 5 days.

The weekend conference/retreat portion of Camp Washington continues to ﬁ ll often one year in advance. Now that the cabins are renovated, we are seeing an increased interest by adult groups to use them.

Look for future weekend programs for both youth and adults sponsored by Camp Washington. This information will be sent directly to the parishes and will be posted on our website.

As we face increased costs in utilities, insurance and facility maintenance and in an effort to keep our rates affordable, a Task Force will be established to assess both existing and new funding raising ideas for the years ahead.

COMPANIONS IN MISSION COMMITTEE: The Rev. Kate Heichler. She spoke about the on-going relationships between the Diocese of Connecticut and the Diocese of Colombia, and the growing partnership between Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford and the Cathedral in Bogotá. In January, the Rev. Matt Calkins and Dean Pendleton will lead a trip to Colombia. Spaces are still available for those who would like to join them. Other future projects include the development of an AIDS ministry in Bogotá. The Rev. Heichler also spoke to the increasing relationships between our Diocese and the Diocese of Lebombo in Mozambique. Bishop Curry and other members of the Diocese are going there soon. The connections between Connecticut and other parts of the world are growing. Heichler highlighted the story of a parishioner at St. Andrew s, Madison who heard a call from God to do something for children in Uganda. She went to our Diocesan web site and discovered that Calvary, Stonington has an ongoing relationship in Uganda and was planning a mission trip there in December. She joined that trip, developed a connection to orphanages there, and has since inspired many people in her parish and the town of Madison to support projects to help the children in Uganda. Heichler emphasized that the primary goal of the Companions in Mission Committee is to assist parishes in developing mission partnerships and to network with other parishes. An on-going group, called the Africa Connection, has been formed for parishes interested in or already doing mission work in Africa. She announced a new initiative of the committee: the allocation of up to 40% of the Companions in Mission budget to travel grants to help people in our parishes visit mission partners, or potential partners, outside of Connecticut. Applications will be available on the Diocesan web site in about a week. Bishop Smith thanked the Committee for their good work PROGRAM & BUDGET COMMITTEE: Mr. A. Bates Lyons. Mr. Lyons presented the 2008 Budget for the Diocese of Connecticut. He thanked Mr. Guy Cambria for his assistance over the years and wished him well in his retirement. He thanked the rest of the Program & Budget Committee for their hard and diligent work in preparing the budget. They will monitor the budget and expenditures carefully over the coming year and make adjustments as necessary. He referred delegates to the budget narrative found in the Convention Packet. The 2008 Budget was presented and approved by the Executive Council at its September, 2007 meeting. He noted this budget shows a deﬁ cit of $66,319, but indicated it is a manageable deﬁ cit. It is the recommendation of the Executive Council and the Program & Budget Committee that the 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut adopt this 2008 Budget and the expenditure amount of $5,697,282. Bishop Smith thanked Mr. Lyons for his report and indicated the budget will come before the Convention for a vote as Resolution #2 later this afternoon.

42 REPORT OF THE TREASURER: Mr. Guy Cambria Bishop Smith remarked that Mr. Cambria will present his report by title. The bishop reminded Convention that Mr. Cambria has submitted his resignation and will be retired as Treasurer at the end of this convention. Mr. Cambria referenced his report contained in the Report Packet, reprinted below. He spoke to the 12.5% goal of parish pledging to the diocese, and noted that as of February we were at 10.1%, far below our goal. He encouraged delegates to embrace Resolution #5, to come before Convention later today, and to take advantage of the resources it provides to parishes. Mr. Cambria noted that the amount parishes do not pay is unfairly supported by other parishes. He thanked parishes for the more timely submission of Parochial Reports, but noted that the submission of audits continues to lag. He emphasized the importance of parish audits and warned that not submitting them puts clergy and vestries at corporate and personal risk. The Diocese itself is fully compliant with its audits, he noted. There is now a comptroller, a certifi ed public accountant, on staff who is responsible for overseeing all fi nancial aspects of the diocese. He encouraged parish treasurer’s to attend on November 17, at Diocesan House, with the CPA of the Diocese of California. Mr. Cambria also thanked all those who have made the past ten years a wonderful time in his life, including the bishops, the Finance Committee, the Program & Budget Committee. He offered special thanks to his life-long friend, Jack Spaeth, Canon for Administration and Stewardship, and to Chancellor Ed Hebb. A motion was made and seconded to accept the Treasurer’s Report as written and orally presented. The motion carried. TREASURER’S REPORT The year 2006 was a relatively quiet year for the Finance Committee in terms of it’s oversight of the fi nances of the Treasurer, the Missionary Society and Camp Washington. That oversight includes the review and monitoring of their budgets, audits and all aspects of their fi nancial lives.However, the Committee was challenged by the changes in dealing and understanding the changes in accounting, auditing and the task of fi lling the position of Controller.

The Committee met four times during the year: February 22, May 16, September 5 and November 28. Perhaps the most important aspect of this year’s work was to get an understanding of the changes in how the annual audit was to be prepared. In the past the independent auditors presented the Committee and the Council with an audit report which included a number of schedules and accompanying notes and a management letter, all prepared by the audit ﬁ rm. Along comes year end 2006 and in order to obtain a “clean” opinion, all of those ﬁ nancial schedules and comments must be prepared by the controller and submitted to the auditors for their review and concurrence.

Fortunately the Diocese had retained Cindy Winslow to work as a consultant on a number of projects over the past several years and after conducting a search, as recommended by our consultants, she was hired as Controller of the Diocese. As an experienced Certiﬁ ed Public Accountant she was able to use her indepth knowledge of the Diocese and prepare all of the schedules and comments necessary for a clean opinion.

The Committee continues to have concerns about parish audits, parochial reports and the general ﬁ nancial welfare of the one hundred and seventy four parishes in the Diocese.Insurance receivables are much improved and Diocesan pledges have kept pace with budget projections.In addition the committee made recommendations to the Council on the distribution of the surplus and loans to parishes.

As this will be my last report as Treasurer of the Diocese I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for making my tenure a very happy and fulﬁ lling one. The Finance Committee has been a joy to chair- it’s understanding of the issues, it’s ability to bring in tools from the business community and it’s responsiveness to the needs of the Diocese. To the parishes, the clergy, the Bishops under whose direction I have served and most especially to the Canon for Administration and Stewardship. Thank you – it has been a wonderful experience.

Guy Cambria, Jr. Treasurer

BISHOP’S FUND FOR CHILDREN The Bishop’s Fund for Children & 5K Road Race, Ms. Leslie Pendleton and Ms. Kate Smith, and the Rev. Amy Fallon. They reported that this year the Bishop’s Fund for Children distributed over $248,000 to 53 programs in Connecticut that serve children at risk. Parishes were thanked for their strong support of the Bishop’s Fund, through their use of mite boxes, designation of funds from their outreach budgets, sponsorships, and other creative means. In all, 144 parishes raised more than $63,000 for the Bishop’s Fund for Children in the last year. Ms. Pendleton thanked Kate Smith & Amy Fallon for their hard work on behalf of the 5k for Kids Road Race. Over six years, the race has netted over $210,000 for the Bishop’s Fund. She presented “spirited leadership awards” to both Kate and Amy. The 2007 race brought in a record $47,000. A record number of parishes, 33, sent teams to the race. $16,411 in pledges was raised by the participants, also a record. The Bishop’s Big Trophy was won by the team from Christ Church Cathedral, which raised over $5000. Trinity

43 Church, Hartford won the award for the largest team. Next year’s race will be Saturday, May 17, 2008. Bishop Smith asked for, and received, a motion to accept all the other reports by title as printed in the Report Packet. The motion was seconded and approved.

YOUTH MINISTRY REPORT: Emily Perow, Youth Ministry Coordinator The Youth Ministries Program in the diocese had a busy year and will continue with great momentum and excitement into 2008. Many parishes are starting and continuing with ministry to, for and with young people.

We had young people present at Diocesan convention. Those who went to General Convention gave reports and they helped out with the workshops on the Friday of convention.

We held a Senior High Overnight in February hosted by St Andrews, Madison. Our numbers this year doubled in size. The teenagers discovered, discussed and celebrated The Millennium Development Goals and the commitment to make our world a better place.

Our middle school event this year was an overnight in December hosted by St. James, West Hartford. We had a total of 85 people present. Using the World Peace Village as a tool to spotlight peace and tolerance, participants walked together the path toward peace, tolerance and understanding. At the overnight, participants learned through experience and come to respect unfamiliar faith traditions (Buddhism, Hindu, Christianity, Jewish, Muslim, and Native American)

The Youth Ministry ofﬁ ce collaborated with the Christian Formation and held a quiet day for Christian Educators and Youth Ministers. The two ofﬁ ces also oversee a Christian Formation commission for the diocese. We also purchased a labyrinth that we are happy to share with the diocese.

We took a total of 8 young people to the Province One Convocation. They lead two workshops titled talking about Faith in the world and Youth and worship. They had a chance to discuss what it means to be a young person in the Episcopal Church today. Both workshops were packed beyond capacity.

We had 15 young people as ushers and greeters at the consecration of Bishop Ahrens in June.

REMEMBER THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THE CHURCH OF TODAY

REPORT OF THE BISHOP AND DIOCESAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL - 2006 The Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council consist of the Bishop, two Bishops Suffragan, and one clerical and one lay delegate from each of the fourteen deaneries. The Bishop may appoint up to six additional members at large. The Treasurer, the Chancellor, the Canon for Stewardship and Administration (Director of Administration & Finance) are ex- ofﬁ cio members. The Canon to the Ordinary serves as an appointed advisor.

The Executive Council is charged by Canon with: Collecting and allocating funds within the limits of the budgets adopted by the Diocesan Convention; exercising the full power and authority of the Diocese between sessions of the Convention in most matters; establishing and maintaining program initiatives; and serving as a council of advice to the Bishop.

In 2006, the Executive Council met ﬁ ve times as follows:

March 6 Diocesan House, Hartford June 7 Diocesan House, Hartford July 19 Diocesan House, Hartford September 6 Diocesan House, Hartford December 6 Diocesan House, Hartford

In collaboration with its committees, the Council provided oversight for Diocesan activities in many areas. In that process, they dealt with several issues in 2006, including:

1. Accepted the budget for 2006 and the pledges to support the funding which had moved upward slightly from 2005. The Funding Task Force continued its work to seek ways in which all parishes might meet the minimum standard of 12.5% funding for the Diocesan budget.

44 2. Set the date for the Annual 2007 Convention as 10/19 & 10/20 in Hartford. 3. Reviewed and accepted the FASB, GAAS compliant, combined, annual audits and management letter from the diocesan auditors, Carrlin, Charron & Rosen, P.C., for the fi nancial statements for 2005. 4.

Received the fi nancial statements from the Finance Committee on a periodic basis, and through that committee reviewed them for eventual audit. 6. Worked with the Program & Budget Committee to present a budget for 2007 to the Annual Convention in October 2006 under the leadership of its chairman, A. Bates Lyons. 7. Approved the use of the Shepard Estate in Bristol by the Shepard Meadows Riding Centre, Inc., a therapeutic program for children and adults using horse riding as the therapy tool. 8. Monitored the work of the Hurricane Relief Task Force which coordinated and provided oversight for the wonderful parish activities in the wake of Katrina, Wilma and Rita hurricanes in MS and LA. 9. Authorized the institution of background screening of all clergy, employees and certain volunteers under the tutelage of the Bishop and the Pastoral Response Department. 10. Authorized the election of a second Bishop Suffragan for the Diocese and held a special meeting in July to elect a nominations committee to effect that outcome. 11. Acting as the Missionary Society, authorized: the sale of property at the former St. John’s By the Sea in West Haven; a continued mortgage loan for Bishop Ramos; and an easement in favor of the State of CT @UConn, Storrs for St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. 12. Acting as Camp Washington Inc., approved the use of the Ruane funds to enter upon a near $1 million renovation of the four cabins bringing them all to full code compliance and better functionality. 13. Kept up to date in discussing the ongoing activities of 5 Connecticut parishes allied with the American Anglican Council (AAC) and processed the civil suit brought in the Federal Court against the Diocese, the Bishop and several staff members; and further kept pace with the attendant impact on fi nances and legal representation in the foregoing matter. 14. Continued discussion and received reports on the activities related to the eventual renovation of Diocesan House. 15. Authorized a Millennium Development Subcommittee to work with the funding of grant requests in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals.

Christ Church, Canaan $20,000 10 year 1.5% St. James’, Glastonbury $100,000 4 yr. 3.5%

The Council ratiﬁ ed one (1) grant for the Mission Development Fund (MDF):

$ 7,033 #2006-1 Epiphany Mentoring for Ex-Offenders, Bridgeport

The Council acting as the Missionary Society also ratiﬁ ed the 2007 grants for the Trinity Fund (So. Norwalk) Committee totaling $75,000.00 and grants for 2008-2010 for St. Paul’s, Norwalk totaling $30,000.00; and further approved the grants for the Trinity Fund (Waterbury) @ $31,450.00 and the Harrub Trust @ $8,240.00.

The Council is your “vestry” between conventions and takes its leadership role seriously in its plenary activity and through its committee structures. The members are committed to share both their time and gifts to the larger church including their availability to visit parish vestries, deaneries and forums. You are asked to invite them to your parishes – and you are invited to attend our council meetings!

45 THE EPISCOPAL INVESTMENT FUNDS OF CONNECTICUT (Legal Title: Donations and Bequests for Church Purposes, Inc.)

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 Established in 1863, Donations and Bequests for Church Purposes, Inc. has as its mission the receiving, safeguarding, and investing of securities and property for the beneﬁ t of Episcopal parishes and organizations in the Diocese of Connecticut, and the providing of ﬁ nancial counsel and experienced investment management for eligible organizations. In 1987, the name was changed to The Episcopal Investment Funds of Connecticut with the legal title remaining as Donations and Bequests for Church Purposes, Inc.

The Trustees of the Funds serve ﬁ ve-year terms, are elected by the Board of Trustees, and appointed by the Bishop and whose membership is conﬁ rmed at Diocesan Convention. Membership is sought from the ranks of active and retired professionals as well as representatives of parish participants who have a variety of experiences in investment management, parish relations and marketing.

Under the Investment Advisory Services offered by Ennis Knupp of Chicago, State Street Bank & Trust Co., Boston is the custodian of the funds and performs administrative functions; The Fixed Income Fund is managed by PIMCO (Allianz) Funds (50%) Newport Beach, California and The Western Asset Management Co. (Legg-Mason) (50%) of Pasadena, California. The Equity Fund Investment Managers are: Dodge & Cox Stock Fund, San Francisco, CA (14%); Legg Mason Growth Trust (11%), State Street Bank Global Investment advisors Total Market Index Fund (49%) and EAFE Index Funds (9%); Euro Paciﬁ c Growth Fund (9%); Philadelphia Investment Advisors (8%). The Money Market Short Term Fund is provided by State Street Bank; and the Trustees manage the Social Responsibility Fund with the assistance of a Fund Consultant, Ms. Toni Gold. The participant record keeper is NRS (Northeast Retirement Services).

The markets provided a good year in 2006 for participants in the fund prompting the trustees to seek and process a continuous ﬂ ow of information from their advisors to insure a continued response to the conditions. The total fund value at the end of 2006 was $97.1 million up from $90 million in the prior year. The typical parish allocation of 60% Equity and 40% Fixed income total return was 11.9% for the year ending 12/31/06, measured against the 60/40 balanced benchmark of 12.3%.

The Board met four times in 2005:

March 7, 2006 – at Diocesan House, Hartford May 23, 2006 – at Diocesan House, Hartford September 12, 2006 – at Diocesan House, Hartford December 5, 2006 – at Diocesan House, Hartford

The trustees monitored the activity of the funds during the ﬁ scal year and report the following actions:

1. Reviewed reports from all the Investment Managers and the Social Responsibility Fund Consultants. 2. Continued the services of Bennett Consulting, Inc., Mr. Edmund T. Bennett, President, to write quarterly performance reports for participants and maintain the “Stewardship of Endowment” workshop forums he offers on a no cost basis to the parishes for which he made several visits in 2006. 3. Following an in-depth evaluation of a proposal from Philadelphia Investment Advisors, the trustees voted to move the current mutual fund position with Glenmede International Fund to a limited partnership with PIA to take advantage of a better expense ratio and equal performance projections. 4. Monitored the Northeast Retirement Services participant record keeping services and assisted in the redesign of report and electronic offerings to the parishes in 2006. 5. Reviewed the Social Responsibility Fund as to its structure, reporting and expansion while working toward new placements in its balance. It invested in two CD’s ($100,000.00 each) with the HOPE Federal Credit Union, the activity from which will aid in the support of Katrina re-construction efforts; and it loaned $600,000.00 to a new borrower, Hartford Community Loan Fund. A new reporting format for the trustees was implemented as well. 6. Continued a review of the charter including input from the Chancellor’s offi ce. 7. Received the audited fi nancial statements for all three funds from Harper and Whitfi eld, P.C., the retained auditing fi rm. 8. Reelected Trustees Cambria and Steers for a fi ve year term.

46 In 2007 the Trustees will continue to work on the structure of the Social Responsibility Fund. It will continue to refi ne the reporting process to participants including enhanced website access. The Investment Committee will continue to offer workshop opportunities to parishes in a new format design for implementation in 2007/2008, and the Trustees will maintain their goal of being extremely responsive to participant needs in diffi cult fi scal moments for parishes. They will concentrate on the asset mix within the funds to sustain good fi duciary offerings to the participants during 2007 including an in-depth review of the global equity placements.

Participants both current and potential are invited to meet with the Trustees at any time. Your trustees through a remarkable amount of hard work and offering of sage advice provide a product that serves the diocese and its parishes well. We are blessed by their willingness to serve.

Respectfully submitted, John W. Spaeth, III Secretary

Respectfully Submitted, Sylvia Ho - Secretary REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE (Canon for Stewardship and Administration) 2006

The agent of change is a constant at Diocesan House and in the church as new challenges, new colleagues and new vision moves me forward into yet another year. It is a fascinating journey. Although “new” also brings new pressures, not all of them welcome, life in the Diocese of Connecticut is still unique and rewarding. Despite the continued distractions of annoying legal and theological attacks on our structure and its leadership, those distractions have become routine for us and ineffective for those who still poke at the institution and the people within. The gospel still guides us with the steadiness it provides so that such detractors are effectively warded off. In a Diocese and church of signifi cant abundance, the challenge still is present for the Program and Budget Committee to present and fund a budget capable of doing good works and for maintaining most budget requests for 2007. The year-end diocesan fund balance was again suffi cient for the auditors, the fi nance committee and the Executive Council to accept the unqualifi ed audits and their attendant documents, recognizing our full FASB, GAAS, SAS and GAAP compliance. A distribution of surplus funds from year- end balances included contributions for Katrina relief, the legal reserve fund, the Bishops’ Discretionary Funds, the Millennium Development goals fund and The Diocesan House Renovation Fund.

The Insurance Board recommended a 10% increase in premium for 2007 with some increases in the levels of co-payments for prescription drug charges and medical services. The Board continued as a participant in the Province I Property/ Casualty program and dealt with a challenged but more fl exible property insurance market and liability environment in both Employee Practices and Sexual Misconduct Liability coverages. The increase in premium for 2007 was held to 10%, well below industry comparisons. An outside consultant reviewed the pooling of the business of fi ve of the seven dioceses in Province I and determined that it has been and is an effective way to deal with competitive underwriting markets, especially of church business for which it is extremely diffi cult to fi nd adequate capacity. Your Insurance Board monitors the programs during the year and adjusts them as necessary. The re-appraisal of the diocesan properties will begin in late 2007 as a guide to aid the underwriters in fairly pricing the program and promoting good risk management. Under the able leadership of Mr. R. Donald MacDougall and Mr. William Thompson, the Board continues to give many hours of volunteer expertise to serve you well with these solid programs.

The Episcopal Investment Funds (Donations and Bequests, Inc.) responded well to the market conditions in 2006 and fi nished the year with returns that fell in the close range of their benchmarks. The trustees continued the Council recommendation for a spending plan rate of 4% and the quarterly monitoring of the spending rates of the participants. The fund will offer educational resources for the stewardship of parish endowments and a major workshop is being planned for 2007. The Social Responsibility Fund reviewed its loans to current intermediaries, the guidelines for its placements and operation, and made placements with two new borrowers/investors. Your trustees continue to be a steady presence in diffi cult markets and provide many hours of their expertise for this important part of our parish and diocesan fi scal lives. In 2007, the non U.S. equity position will be reviewed in 2007.

Our administrative department is a real joy and is always diligent in the dispatch of their work for those whom they 49 serve. I was supported by the the following staff in 2006/2007: Louise Boehm my able insurance and administrative assistant in her twentieth year on our staff; Guy Cambria, Jr., volunteer Diocesan Treasurer; Cindy Winslow, part-time accounting projects CPA (who accepted the job offer of Controller as of 01/01/07 –thanks be to God!), Susan LaFreniere, part-time ﬁ nancial administrative assistant; Pat Georgeady, Accounting Supervisor; Shirley McGarry, bookkeeper, Annmarie T. Martin, receptionist; Sharron Ring, Production Assistant; and Torre Skjerli as Custodian, as well as the part- time presence of ﬁ ve college student interns at different times during 2006: Ms.Tokunbo Green, Ms. Melanie Furrer, Mr. Jose Martinez, Ms. Melissa Haas, Ms. Sasha McKenney and Ms. Nicki Green, who all provide a tremendous service in specially assigned projects, which they handle with great skill and huor to conclusion. Archival Assistant Meg Smith and her intern assistant, Evelyn Greene round out the entire team of wonderfully dedicated and skilled staff who continue to meet the daily demands presented to them with willingness and grace. I am always bolstered by their loyalty and faithfulness to their servant ministries.

Having nearly completed my 27th year on the Diocesan staff, I have added “what’s next” to my life planning in the months ahead. Deeply immersed in God’s work here in the church in Connecticut and in the larger communion- I have yet begun to explore the realities of age and retirement, and in that quest I give thanks for God’s ever-present, abundant, caring love! Respectfully submitted, John W. Spaeth, III

PRESIDENT’S REPORT, EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN, 2006

As your new president, I am pleased to report that the year 2006 was a productive one for the Connecticut ECW Diocesan Board. We continued the outreach project in literacy education in this diocese, sent representatives to the 45th Women’s Triennial, and sponsored an Advent Quiet Day, among a number of other signiﬁ cant achievements. Here is a brief description of what took place over the course of this past year.

The UTO Screening Committee met at Diocesan House January 12 to read grant applications, two of which were chosen to be sent on to the Episcopal Church Center for consideration.

A Finance Committee meeting to set the budget, three scheduled Executive Board meetings and four ECW Board meetings were held in 2006.

A literacy workshop, arranged by Cathy Seibyl and Rachael Desmond, ‘God’s People on Mission: The Challenge of Literacy,” was held at St. John’s, North Haven on February 18th.

We celebrated the 125th anniversary of Episcopal Church Women and the 10th anniversary of the Installation of our Bishop, the Right Reverend Andrew Smith, at the ECW Annual Meeting and Luncheon on May 4th. A new slate of ECW ofﬁ cers was sworn in, as we thanked the outgoing Board members for their good work. Outgoing President Rachael Desmond was given a cross and a voucher for $100. for the charity of her choosing.

Four representatives went to the Women’s Triennial Meeting at the 75th General Convention, as well as the Program Leader for Altar Guild. Patricia Chappell, our able and dedicated secretarial assistant for over 30 years, was chosen to be the Diocese of Connecticut’s Honored Woman. She and other women so named, were celebrated at a special gathering. The 30th year of Women’s Ordination was observed in a liturgy, and a huge paper chain of all women ordained from 1977 on was put together to encircle the entire assembled group of Episcopal Church Women. Betty Silva listed the names of all those ordained in the Diocese of Connecticut.

At the Overnight Retreat and Meeting September 22-23, we enjoyed some relaxation and sharing about Women’s Triennial. The Rev. Maggie Minnick, our Chaplain, led us in a Holy Eucharist service Saturday morning, followed by our business meeting and lunch. Ginny Wagenseller spoke to us about National Health Ministries and parish nursing.

The UTO Ingathering was held at St. James’, Glastonbury on November 2nd.

Two White Envelope grants were made, one for within this diocese and one for outside it. Dot Smith, outgoing White Envelope Program Leader, was appointed to the National UTO Committee.

Anne Rowthorn led an Advent Quiet Day on December 2. She referred to her most recent book, Your Daily Life is Your Temple, to suggest some important spiritual questions to ponder in anticipation of Christmas. 50 We continue to make packets available to parishes interested in starting new ECW’S. Information on Episcopal Church Women was made available at our 222nd Diocesan Convention.

Two issues of our publication, the Connecticut Communique, edited by Mary Best, were distributed, one in the spring and one in the fall.

Many thanks should be accorded to our diocesan ECW Board members for their efforts in promoting the work of the Lord. They serve as ofﬁ cers, program leaders and heads of our afﬁ liated agencies. They serve the women of the Diocese of Connecticut, and are available to speak to women’s groups. The list of donations in our Annual Report for 2006 gives some idea of how much has been contributed by so many of the women of our diocese to help those in need.

In Thanksgiving for all our many Blessings, especially the Love of God, Sylvia R. Corrigan

REPORT OF THE ARCHIVAL ASSISTANT 2005-2006 The year 2005-2006 saw the slow but steady processing and consolidation of administrative records, including legal, fi nancial, and diocesan committee work. By consolidating these records, we have been able to recapture some much-needed storage space for collections that will grow over the years. This is slow and painstaking work that continues on a weekly basis. On the ecclesiastical side, because we created a new record group for Bishop John Williams, we have established a set of sub-series, or subject headings, that will be applicable to all of the archives of the Bishops of the Diocese, thus setting a standard for future archival cataloging. In addition to this, we are always adding new materials and fi les. Another way that we are gaining space in the archives is that we have found it necessary to change our accessions policy. While the video resource library will still be housed in the archives, the holdings policy for the “resource library” has changed. We will be collecting and cataloging only those monographs that have direct bearing on the history of the church, the Anglican Communion, local histories, biographies, and reference works. Donations of histories and manuscripts will continue to be accessioned. Also for reference, we will keep the special collections that have accumulated over the years, such as Church polity and liturgy, hymnody, Church Art and Architecture, the Stevens Library for the Vocational Deaconate, and the Altar Guild collection. Another project underway has been conserving older diocesan publications, such as the Churchman, the Connecticut Churchman, and its related titles, as well as national periodicals. Excluding staff queries, we receive an average of 8-10 reference questions per week (by mail, e-mail, and telephone.) More than twenty researchers, primarily church members working on parish histories, visited last year. One of the most rewarding aspects of working in the archives is witnessing parishioner’s previously unknown discoveries of aspects of their churches’ histories. As is their custom, the bishops have hosted several small-group tours of the archives. I would like to take this opportunity to urge church leaders to deposit any existing blueprints and construction records of all parish buildings at the archives for safekeeping. Off-site storage is a necessity following any damage due to a disaster. One of our parishes saved thousands of dollars when its parish house was destroyed by fi re, because a vestry member had the presence of mind to deposit the blueprints here. Another parish was able to consult the blueprints and construction notes when planning an addition to their church building. Also, I would like to remind interested parish historians that I am happy to visit, and to assist by in making recommendations regarding organization and conservation of their archives. For church members who are writing parish histories, there are manuals and resources available here that offer specifi c advice on the research and writing parish histories. Further details about collection, conservation, organization and other topics will be published soon. For the history enthusiasts in the diocese, there are several projects here at the diocesan archives where a volunteer can make a difference in accessing our historical materials. I am most grateful to the bishops and Canon Spaeth for their continued support of the archives. Thanks go to student interns, Nike Green and Jose Martinez, who in addition to other work, concluded one project this year—the photocopying and fi ling of thirty years worth of newspaper clippings into the parish drop fi les! The archives greatly benefi t from the work of Evelyn Green, a student intern working towards her Masters, whose enthusiasm and expertise seems limitless in every project she undertakes. It is a privilege and a blessing to serve the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut amongst the very dedicated and hard-working members of the Diocesan staff. As always, my gratitude goes to the faithful Committee on Diocesan Archives: Mr. Peter Knapp (Archives Librarian at Trinity College, Chair); Mr. Edwin G. Hebb (Chancellor); Mr. Keith Hook; The Rev. Dr. Borden W. Painter (retired history professor from Trinity College); Ms Diana Barnard, (Archivist, Pope Pius XII Library, St. Joseph College); The Rev. Dr. Kent Smith (retired); The Rev. Mr. Roger B. White (Rector, St. Andrew’s, Kent); and The Rev. Mr. Andrew Zeman (Rector, All Saint’s, Oakville.) Their personal commitment and dedication to preserving the history and collections of the diocese, and their counsel and advice are a valuable service to me and to the Diocese of Connecticut. Respectfully submitted, Margaret B. Smith

51 HISPANIC MINISTRY COMMITTEE REPORT:

During the year 2006 many things have happened. We are very grateful for the support of this ministry from congregations and people throughout the diocese.

The Committee, chaired by The Rev. José A. Díaz-Martínez, reviewed, amended, and ﬁ nally approved a work plan last December based on the continuing need to develop and strengthen our ministry.

Meetings are routinely held every two months for the Board, every three months for Encuentro and every other month for the clergy.

From time to time, issues arise concerning the determination of an annual budget. We are currently working toward the creation of one to be considered on a future agenda.

The Hispanic Ministry is growing in our Diocese and in our Church in general. We are glad to announce that at the present moment we have thirteen missions. St.John’s, Bridgeport began a new ministry on September 8, 2007, Bishop Jim Curry, Celebrant and Preacher at that service.

Our challenge is to live out our faith and reach to even more people with our current leaders. In response to this challenge, we recommend the effectiveness of the Cursillo, a movement of the Church helping individuals understand their calling to Christian leadership and what it is to live a life in Christ. This past August 31, 2007 four (4) new ‘cursillistas’ attended the 40th Cursillo de Cristiandad in Puerto Rico. One of our goals is to work closely with the National Secretariat to bring again these retreats to our diocese.

We feel that the greatest need we are going to face in the future is bilingual priests. For that reason we urge all clergy to keep this in mind by improving their skills in Spanish language as well as in the culture.

Again, I want to say thanks to all of you who have been working and praying for the Hispanic ministry. Respectfully submitted, The Reverend José Angel Díaz-Martínez Hispanic Missioner

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION REPORT 2007

Through the Children’s Ministries & Christian Education ofﬁ ce, parishes and individuals have been supported in numerous ways this past year. Largely determined by the needs and requests from people of our diocese, this ministry focuses on Christian formation and education programs for children, youth and adults.

When this program area of the Diocese of Connecticut began 10 years ago (as a part-time, 3 hour per week consultant), there was a hunger for connections, resources and support to assist our congregations in developing stronger education programs for children. This continues today, and now involves youth and adult formation. Today, there is a known contact for Christian formation (volunteer or staff) for 99% of our congregations. Each has access to a quarterly newsletter, “A Child CONN-Nexus” as well as a monthly e-newsletter, “Connecticut IN-Formation” which has over 1,100 subscribers throughout the diocese and Anglican Communion! The Diocesan Resource Center is now an updated library of over 1,000 volumes of print materials available to all parishes to borrow, free of charge. These include copies of curricula for children, youth and adults as well as numerous resources for stewardship, worship, mission, service, advocacy, family, spirituality and seasonal materials. Our diocesan labyrinth and World Peace Village is always out, being used in congregations – just as they are meant to be.

Teacher training is now affordable and accessible to all who desire continuing education. A Godly Play workshop is held every Spring and Fall, and Journey to Adulthood workshops are offered at least once a year. In addition, workshop days are held for particular topics of interest as well as offerings that feature educational resources at many diocesan training events, such as the annual stewardship, environmental and liturgy conferences. The Commission on Christian Formation is on the threshold of bringing educational ministries to a new parish collaborative level; please support them with your parish involvement of representation and communication.

Connecticut is at the forefront of being known as a model diocese for Christian formation, most realized in the collaboration of many diocesan ofﬁ ces – Christian education, youth ministry, pastoral care & safe church training, Camp Washington and Ordinands’ Training to name a few. To support all these areas of formation, our website, www.ctdiocese. 52 org/resources/christianed.shtml contains free materials for all; many other dioceses, seminaries and The Episcopal Church Center have a link to our pages.

As this will be my last report to Convention, I would like to take the opportunity to give thanks for the many individuals who have supported me and blessed me in my ministry in this diocese. Through the years, all our bishops (including Bishops Coleridge and Ramos) have made ministry to, for and with children a priority. This has grown to life long learning. I am so grateful to the leadership of Bishop Smith. He has been a joy to work with and I have been proud to be part of his staff. Bishop Curry has also embodied the meaning of mutual ministry to me – understanding that we are all called to the ministry of the priesthood by virtue of our baptism. It has been an honor to share ministry with him. Lastly, my cohort and ofﬁ ce-mate, Emily Perow; her welcome and hospitality to me as well of sense of humor has kept me from taking myself too seriously while also sharing her passion and expertise in youth ministry.

It has been a privilege to share ministry with so many of you throughout these past ten years. I will miss being with you, but know we will still be connected. Through your gifts and encouragement, you have given me the courage and skills necessary to begin a new ministry, serving Episcopalians (and others) in Christian formation and resource development on a national level.

With love and blessings, Sharon Ely Pearson, Children’s Ministries & Christian Education Coordinator

Submitted by: the Bishop and Standing Committee of the Diocese of Connecticut.

ANDREW’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ENFIELD, ST. MARY’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ENFIELD, AND CALVARY EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SUFFIELD, CONNECTICUT into one parish to be known as HOLY TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ENFIELD, CONNECTICUT, and be it further RESOLVED: that the action of the Bishop and Standing Committee be ratiﬁ ed by the 223rd Annual Convention, and that the new parish congregation of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Enﬁ eld be welcomed into union with the Diocese of Connecticut, and that their representatives be recognized at this time.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of the resolution. The resolution was seconded. The Rev. Peter Bushnell, Senior Missioner of North Central Regional Ministry presented the resolution. The Rev. Cyril Burke, retired, and the Rev. Tom White, St. Peter’s, South Windsor spoke to the resolution. The resolution was adopted.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved that the resolution be adopted. It was seconded. Canon Jack Spaeth, on behalf of the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council, was called upon to speak to the resolution. The resolution was adopted as presented. 54 RESOLUTION #2 – 2008 DIOCESAN BUDGET Submitted by: Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut adopts the Diocesan Budget for 2008 as proposed and appended to this resolution. (See appendix for full budget) The Rev. Joseph Pace moved that the resolution be adopted. It was seconded. He called upon Mr. Bates Lyons, chair of the Program & Budget Committee, to present the resolution. The resolution was adopted as presented.

RESOLUTION #3 -- CONCERNING THE ELECTION OF BISHOPS Submitted by: The Rev. Mark Delcuze, St. Stephen’s, Ridgeﬁ eld; Mr. Brian Snover, St. Francis Church, Stamford; Ms. Karanne Farling, Trinity Church, Collinsville

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut afﬁ rms the precedence of the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church to Resolutions of General Convention, and will faithfully adhere to Title III.1.2 which states that, “No person shall be denied access to the discernment process for any ministry, lay or ordained, in this Church because of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities or age”; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention dissents from Resolution B033 of the 75th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which states Resolved, That the 75th General Convention receive and embrace The Windsor Report’s invitation to engage in a process of healing and reconciliation; and be it further

Resolved, That this Convention therefore call upon Standing Committees and bishops with jurisdiction to exercise restraint by not consenting to the consecration of any candidate to the episcopate whose manner of life presents a challenge to the wider church and will lead to further strains on communion; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That this Convention strongly encourages our Bishop and Standing Committee to consent to the consecration of all qualiﬁ ed candidates duly elected to the Episcopate; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That this resolution be forwarded by the Secretary of this Convention to the Secretary of General Convention.

Explanation:

More than a year after General Convention 2006, it has become increasingly clear to many in our Church that the passage of Resolution B033 is in violation of the Canons of the Episcopal Church. The injury to lesbian, gay and transgender Episcopalians who feel this resolution was directed at them adds to our sense that this resolution was not well conceived. By disassociating from this resolution, we seek not to divide our Church, but to join with other Dioceses and organizations which call for continued dialogue about the mystery of human sexuality and the radical welcome that we each receive in Jesus Christ.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of this resolution. The resolution was seconded. The Rev. Mark Delcuze, St. Stephen’s, Ridgeﬁ eld, was called upon to present the resolution. The following people spoke to the resolution: Steven Hudspeth, St. Matthew’s, Wilton; the Rev. Cynthia Knapp, St. Barnabas, Greenwich; Mr. Ted Mollegan, St. James, Glastonbury; the Rev. Tom White, St. Peter’s, South Windsor; the Rev. Brendan McCormick , All Saints, Ivoryton; Kathy Zirolli, Christ Church, Avon; the Rev. Barbara T. Cheney, St. Paul & St. James, New Haven; Ms. Mary Lou Shoemaker, Church of the Epiphany, Durham; the Rev. Joanne Neel-Richard, retired; the Rev. Kathryn Greene-McCreight, St. John’s, New Haven; the Rev. Dcn. Diane Caggiano, St. Andrew’s, Meriden The Rev. Jonathan Folts, St. John’s, Essex, called the question. A vote was taken and the motion to call the question succeeded. Resolution # 3 passed. Bishop Smith thanked everyone for the debate on this difﬁ cult issue.

Resolution #4 – Revision of Canon II, Section 6 55 Submitted by: Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut amends Canon II, Section 6 to read:

The basis of ﬁ nancial assessments laid by the Convention upon the several Parishes and Mission Stations shall be voted by the Annual Diocesan Convention. The Diocesan Executive Council is responsible to present an assessment proposal to the Diocesan Convention for all monies to be raised from Parishes and Mission Stations in support of the budgets adopted by the Convention.

Explanation:

The above amended language of Canon II, Section 6 was voted on by BDEC at its June 6, 2007 meeting. This is a form over substance change to have the language conform to present practice, deleting the boldfaced words in the text of the current Canon II, Section 6 printed below and adding the clarifying words “from Parishes and Mission Stations” in the second sentence:

The basis of ﬁ nancial assessments laid by the Convention upon the several Parishes and Mission Stations shall be on a basis voted by the Annual Diocesan Convention. The Diocesan Executive Council is responsible to present an assessment and quota proposal to the Diocesan Convention for all monies to be raised in the support of budgets adopted by the Convention.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of this resolution. The resolution was seconded. Guy Cambria was called upon to present the resolution. The Rev. William D. Loring, retired and assisting at St. Paul’s, Brookﬁ eld, rose to offer a technical amendment. He proposed that the above revision be amended by the addition of the words, “and rate” after the word “basis” on line 1 so that the canon reads:

The basis and rate of ﬁ nancial assessments laid by the Convention upon the several Parishes and Mission Stations shall be voted by the Annual Diocesan Convention. The Diocesan Executive Council is responsible to present an assessment proposal to the Diocesan Convention for all monies to be raised from Parishes and Mission Stations in support of the budgets adopted by the Convention.

The amendment was seconded. The Rev. Loring spoke to the amendment. A vote was taken and the amendment carried. No one else spoke to the amended resolution. A vote was taken. The amended resolution passed.

Resolution #5 – Parish Compliance with the Minimum Funding Standard of 12.5% Submitted by: Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut afﬁ rms that ﬁ nancial support of the work of the diocese and the episcopate is the responsibility of all Episcopalians; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That the bishop and others he may designate will assist and encourage all parishes in the diocese to reach a level of giving for the diocese of at least the minimum standard mandated by the Diocesan Convention (currently 12.5% of Operating Income as deﬁ ned in the Parochial Report); and, be it further

RESOLVED: That the assistance and encouragement will take the form of such means as:

1. Education of and consultation with clergy, vestry, and other parishioners of the work of the diocese; 2. Teaching of the importance of stewardship in the lives of individuals and parishes; 3. Providing ﬁ nancial training to clergy and laity; 4. Helping parishes to plan ways and timing of reaching the mandated level of diocesan support; and, 5. Offering non-ﬁ nancial resources for congregational development that will lead to new growth and vitality.

Explanation:

It is acknowledged that in order to maintain a consistent level of activity in this area, it will be the responsibility of the 56 Diocesan Finance Committee and the Bishop and Executive Diocesan Council to consult with the bishop and others who assist him on a regular basis, so that all parishes and mission stations are made continually aware of the expectation that they will support the work of the diocese as voted annually by the Diocesan Convention.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of the resolution. It was seconded. He called upon the Rev. Salin Low, St. John’s, Pine Meadow and a member of the BDEC Finance Committee, to present the resolution. The Rev. Nicholas Porter, Trinity Church, Southport rose to offer an amendment to the proposed resolution. He indicated that the proposed amendment would function as the 6th point in the above resolution: 6. And upon the Bishop’s discretion, prohibiting the licensing of additional paid clergy in parishes that do not pay their full assessments until such a time that full annual payments are made.

The amendment was seconded. The Rev. Porter spoke to the amendment, as did the Revs. Tom White, St. Peter’s, South Windsor, and Bennett Brockman, St. Paul’s, Fairﬁ eld. The amendment carried.

The resolution passed as amended.

Resolution #6 – Withdrawal of forces from Iraq Submitted by: Social Concerns and Witness Committee

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut reafﬁ rms its previous action urging the President and members of Congress from Connecticut to do all in their power to commence immediately a withdrawal of U. S. occupying forces from Iraq and to set a deﬁ nite time table for completion; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That the Chair of the Social Concerns and Witness Committee communicate this resolution to the President and the Connecticut Congressional delegation.

Explanation

This diocese has previously opposed the invasion of Iraq as failing to meet the criteria for a just war.

It should be obvious by now that a democratic government cannot be imposed on a nation by force, and that this interference is not supported by a majority of the people of Iraq. A signiﬁ cant impetus for continuing acts of terrorism is rooted in a desire to end U.S. occupation of Iraq. So long as U.S. armed forces remain in place, they will continue to be a ready target.

U.S. armed forces cannot and should not be a means of resolving the conﬂ icts between the various factions In Iraq. Ideally, it should be up to other (especially Arab) nations to supply peace keeping forces to assure that law and order are maintained, and that the safety of all persons be assured, in order that the government of Iraq can function, and the process of nation-building go forward.

Our military commanders have said repeatedly that peace in Iraq requires a political, rather than a military solution. The people of the U.S. and the rest of the world clearly want to know what plans the U.S. has for ending the occupation, and when this will come about.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of the resolution. It was seconded. He requested permission for Ms. Marjorie Henry, Church of the Good Shepherd, Hartford and a member of the Diocesan Social Concerns and Witness Committee, to speak to present the resolution. Convention voted its permission; Ms. Henry presented the resolution.

The resolution passed.

Resolution #7 -- Paid Sick Leave Days Submitted by: Social Concerns and Witness Committee

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut supports legislation in Connecticut that would require employers with ﬁ fty or more employees to provide their employees with paid sick leave days. Employers would be required to pay one hour of sick leave for every forty (40) hours worked, but could establish a maximum of six and a half (6 1/2) paid sick leave days a year; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That the Chair of the Social Concerns and Witness Committee send copies of this resolution to the 57 appropriate State authorities.

Explanation Nationally, forty seven percent (47%) of employees do not receive any paid sick leave days, and among low wage workers, the ﬁ gure rises to eighty percent (80%). Without paid sick leave days, workers with infectious conditions still come to work, and often do not have time to seek proper medical treatment.

The Rev. Joseph Pace moved the adoption of the resolution. It was seconded. The Rev. Peter Bushnell, Holy Trinity Church, Enﬁ eld and chair of the Social Concerns and Witness Committee, presented the resolution.

The resolution passed.

Resolution #8 – Increasing State Rental Assistance Program Submitted by: Social Concerns and Witness Committee

RESOLVED: That this 223rd Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut supports legislation increasing the state rental assistance program by at least a thousand or more units, and requiring developers of low and moderate rental housing to set aside more units for families receiving rental assistance; and, be it further

RESOLVED: That the Chair of the Social Concerns and Witness Committee send copies of this resolution to the appropriate State authorities.

Explanation:

Currently federal Section 8 (housing subsidy) and the state rental assistance program are only meeting a quarter of the need. There is strong opposition, with racial and ethnic overtones, to constructing more low-income housing. As a consequence, rental assistance remains as the best path to take. Many low-income families are spending over half their income for rent, and go from month-to-month not knowing whether they will be able to pay the next month’s rent. This causes a cascade of results, sometimes in the directions of homelessness, family instability, and poor performance in school by children.

The resolution passed.

Bishop Smith thanked the Rev. Joseph Pace and the members of the Resolutions Committee for preparing and presenting the resolutions.

The Bishop offered his thanks to the Convention for the decorum, sensitivity and space that we give one another as we talk and debate.

He called upon the Rev. Eleanor Applewhite Terry, Secretary of Convention, for Resolutions of Courtesy and Thanksgiving. She offered thanks to the Cathedral Altar Guild, and the Cathedral staff, especially Judy Radasch, the Very Rev. Mark Pendleton and the Rev. Allison St. Louis. She recognized and thanked the outgoing members of the Standing Committee, the Rev. Dexter Cheney, Ms. Sylvia Ho, and the Rev. Robert Alves, who completed the term vacated by the Rev. Laura Ahrens upon her election as bishop suffragan. She recognized the staff of the Capital Community College, the staff of 960 Main, where our registration, vendors and meals were held. The Radical Hospitality team from St. Paul’s, Norwalk, and their leader Anne Watkins, received many thanks and great applause for their superb ministry of hospitality as they greeted and guided us throughout this Convention weekend. Emily Perow and the youth ushers and greeters were thanked for their ministry. The Rev. Terry offered thanks to the Executive Council and the many members of the Diocesan administrative and production staff for all of their hard work in preparing for this Convention.

The Standing Committee was reminded of their meeting in the library immediately following the adjournment of Convention.

Bishop Curry rose in his capacity as Vice President of Province I to announce the upcoming Province I Convocation, November 16-17 in Westborough, MA: Reclaiming our Voice for Justice, Mercy and Kindness.

Bishop Smith announced the upcoming Clergy Retreat, November 13-15 at Holy Family Retreat House in West Hartford. 58 He offered special thanks to Bishop Jane Dixon for serving as our chaplain.

Bishop Dixon invited us to join her the General Thanksgiving found on p. 836 of the Book of Common Prayer. She dismissed us with her blessing.

Bishop Smith adjourned the Convention.
