She referred to our pre-conference budget material, specifically the 1997 proposedbudget of $4,254,446. Allowing for non receipt of apportionments boosts the totalby $603,239 for a total amount for 1997 conference apportionments of $4,857,685.We will vote on the 1997 budget on Saturday morning.

SPECIAL SESSION, MN ANNUAL CONFERENCE 11/19/95WILLMAR CONVENTION CENTER, Willmar, MN 9:30 a.m.
1. WORSHIP: At the close of the opening worship service, we were invited tomeet our table mates, as we sat at round tables, with seating randomly assigned.
2. CONVENING: Shortly after 10 a.m., Bishop Sharon Brown Christopher calledus to order and reminded us of Jesus’ words: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into theearth and dies, it remains just a single grain. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
Building upon the theme, IN THE SEED THERE IS A PROMISE, BishopChristopher posed two questions: 1) What are we willing to give our lives fortogether?; and 2) How do we sustain the outcomes of our giving?
3. SETTING THE AGENDA : Following statements by lay leader AileenWilliams and Bishop Christopher, Sessions Chairperson Sharon Hegele movedthat the stated purpose of the special session be to adopt the 1996 budget using thecriteria which the Interim Council developed since the June Annual Conferencesession. Laurits Nielsen clarified that the criteria is not limited to that developed bythe Interim Council. The agenda was adopted.
4. RULES OF PROCEDURE: Sharon Hegele moved that the following rules beadopted: the bar of the Special Session will be the seats at the tables numbered 1through 78; visitors will sit at the chairs in the back; time of the session will be from9:30 to 4; members wishing to speak must be recognized by the chair at themicrophone before proceeding; speakers must begin with their name and church;individual speeches from the floor shall be limited to 3 minutes; members shallsend copies of motions to Conference Secretary; the call for the question cannot behonored until members have had the opportunity to hear at least 2 speeches for and2 against; members seated at the tables shall select a teller; changes in the rules ofprocedure shall require a 2/3 majority of the members present; Roberts Rules ofOrder will be our decision-making method. The rules were adopted.
5. PERSONAL PRIVILEGE : Gerrit Molenaar, Jr., Southwest District,announced that Annual Conference member Donald Lyons, who retired in 1977,died the night before in the Luverne Hospital. Bishop Christopher offered prayer.
58
6. FINANCIAL REALITY : Council on Finance and Administration (CFA)President Janet Morey referred to the graphs showing receipts and expenses.Operating expenses were greater than receipts in every year from 1990 to 1995,except for 1993. She spoke to the matter of reserves, which are used for cash flow,given that 25% of apportionments typically come in during December. Therefore,the practice is that 25% of what is needed for financial responsibilities is on handin January. Janet Morey invited others to come forward to speak as the budget waspresented.
Judith Zabel spoke of the design team’s process, in terms of the budgeting flow.David McBride spoke of the criteria which the design team developed to provideguidance in making choices as to what to fund and what not to fund. Changes weremade in light of feedback, although for those who criticized the core process,revising the core process was beyond the scope of the design team. He continuedto speak about the budgeting process and the difficulty of prioritizing. InterimCouncil member-at-large, Mardell Bartlett spoke of how the Interim Council wasinvolved in this process, addressing the issue of change, the limits of language, andthe lack of time. Council on Ministries chairperson James Haun spoke of “TheVisioning Process.” Kim Doverspike referred to the yellow and blue sheets mailedout after the preconference material, which offered summaries of the budget.
7. BUDGET PROPOSAL: Janet Morey proposed the apportioned amount (theceiling) in 1996 be $4,841,334, to allow for those monies that are not received.$4,163,547 is the proposed budget. Bishop Christopher spoke of the ongoing processof alignment before calling for questions regarding clarification of CFA’s report.
Mike Day asked for a definition of “inclusiveness” with respect to #8, AppointmentProcess. Duane Sarazin replied that inclusiveness means no discrimination on thebasis of gender, age, and race.
Charles Purdham requested a description of process in the core process alignment,and that illustrations be provided of when a departure from the criteria is necessary.(Example: agency expense for the Board of Ordained Ministry was not included.)David McBride responded that some cuts came from the middle, not necessarilythe bottom, of the criteria. Janet Morey offered the example of the world servicefund, which, when considered against the criteria, was not as high as many otheritems, but our commitment to it was renewed in June, when we adopted a resolutionto pay the world service fund in full.
59
8. POINT OF INFORMATION : Unfunded liability and pensions has usuallybeen covered in apportionments, but is not acknowledged in the chart. Janet Moreyresponded there was not a request from the Board of Pensions for 1994, 1995, or1996, because there is no longer a need for apportionment money.
9. HAMLINE ASKING : Khin Khin Jensen, Minneapolis Hennepin Avenue,questioned the “sacredness” of the Hamline University asking. Janet Moreyresponded that the Hamline asking, along with General Conference askings, are allin addition to the Annual Conference apportionment dollars.
10. RESERVE FUNDS: The matter of $830,000 in reserve funds was questioned.Janet Morey responded that those dollars are from a previous accumulation. TerryTilton further clarified that in 1990 the Conference had approximately $1 millionin reserves, before we began spending it.
Terry Tilton recommended that we first adopt a ceiling and then discuss the actualdollar proposals. (Janet Morey’s motion was to adopt a ceiling amount to beapportioned and to adopt the budget.)
11. SUSPEND THE RULES: Bishop Christopher referred to our standing rules asprinted in the Journal; the rule does not allow us to first adopt the ceiling, although therule may be suspended. Terry Tilton suggested that we suspend the rule.
12. LATE MATERIAL : Sharon Hegele moved that two items of late material(one was mailed out) be accepted. The motion was adopted.
13. DIVIDE THE QUESTION : Terry Tilton called for a division of the questionbefore us, to first adopt a ceiling amount to be apportioned, then adopt the 1996budget. He moved the suspension of the rules, and the rules were suspended.
Terry Tilton spoke in favor of the motion to set the ceiling at $4,481,334,explaining that it is a matter of balancing the bottom line now, rather than at the endof the day. Roger Parks spoke against the motion, believing it would restrictdebate. Pete Simpson spoke in favor.
Bruce Pohling said his congregation takes pride in their 100% apportionmentpayments, yet he pointed to a lack of leadership from the Bishop and Cabinet,permissive clergy who are unable to discipline themselves, and a laity notsufficiently involved. He expressed frustration at those churches not paying theirapportionments.
60
Charles Dundas, Rosemount, favored the motion because it is realistic andsuggests there are new ways to motivate the younger generation. Charles Purdhamopposed dividing the question, desiring to work this out in the give and take ofdiscussion. The motion was adopted: 370 in favor and 237 against.
14. LUNCH
15. BUDGET CEILING : Terry Tilton moved that the ceiling for the 1996proposed budget be $4,841,334 as an apportionment ceiling, and the returnexpected for purposes of budgeting be $4,163,547. Duane Sarazin asked if we passthis motion, does it preclude us from going back and altering the bottom line figureif we want to do so as an Annual Conference? Bishop Christopher responded thatit could be reconsidered with a motion for reconsideration from someone on theprevailing side.
James Roe spoke against the motion. With regard to accountability from localchurches, he spoke of the need to share knowledge about what is happening with oursense of connectedness. How did we get to this shortage of funds in the first place, andwhat is the plan for relating to churches who do not pay apportionments in full?
Jerry Steinke sought clarification: it appears that churches who pay 100% ofapportionments are actually paying 116%. Terry Tilton replied that is true, and itis the only way we can make up the difference (we have operated this way for overtwenty years).
Robert Lange spoke in favor of the motion, pointing out that it is realistic andprovides monies for new initiatives. Duane Gebhard responded to James Roe’squestion regarding non-payment of apportionments and our connectionalism.There are significant efforts by many churches to increase their commitment topaying apportionments in full.
Peter Milloy moved the question, and there was a second. It carried, and debatewas closed. The motion was adopted to set the budget at $4,163,547, and theamount to be apportioned at $4,841,334.
16. ADOPTING THE BUDGET : Bishop Christopher instructed those makingproposals about putting money into the budget to also recommend where themoney will be taken from. Roger Parks raised the issue of second mile/advancespecial giving. If a project captures the imagination of the body, that project maybe identified for second mile giving (over and above apportionments), in order thatour giving may not be limited.
61
Laurits Nielsen moved the substitution of CFA’s recommendation with the budgetalternative, which was proposed and mailed in advance of the session by an ad hocgroup of which he was a part. The motion was seconded. He spoke in favor of themotion, and said the proposal attempts to bring ministries to the body which we seeas aligned processes.
17. SUSPENSION OF RULE #14: Laurits Nielsen moved the suspension of therule (Section III A. 14) which deals with the salaries of the district superintendentsand council director. The motion was seconded. The motion was adopted and theamendment was before us. Laurits Nielsen continued in favor of the amendment,although he spoke of the pain for what is not in the budget, particularly highereducation and campus ministry.
Rolland Robinson spoke in favor of the motion. He spoke to the perplexity of ourpredicament before God, and directed his comments to the clergy. Recalling thestory of Zaccheus, he called us out of the tree, which can no longer support theovergrown UMC. The tree was created so we could better see Jesus, not so wecould remain in the tree. He reminded us that we benefit from a system ofguaranteed appointments, yet we are called to serve the least and the lost. We arecalled to come down out of the tree, and pay back to others. People will supportmissions with their dollars, but not a system.
Roger Lynn spoke in favor of the amendment, while calling attention to the pain ofbudget cuts. He believes this proposal seeks to spread the pain around more evenlythan the proposal from CFA, and that this proposal is in keeping with the stated coreprocess. Terry Krinke spoke in support of the proposal.
18. HEALTH INSURANCE : Roger Grafenstein moved a friendly amendment(page 1.3, the health insurance subsidy): “That the health insurance subsidy bereduced by asking active clergy to pay part and that the expense fall directly uponclergy and not be considered as an extra benefit local churches may pay for theirpastor.” Laurits Nielsen affirmed that Roger Grafenstein’s amendment is withinthe understanding of the alternative budget proposal.
Richard Ireland clarified that the Board of Pensions has gone on record to say if wereduce the clergy amount, it needs to go off the apportionment side of the budgetas well. Charles Dundas recalled when he was a member of the cabinet, the cabinetvolunteered to have no raise in compensation for one year, urging churches andpastors to follow the lead. Very few did. What we do, we do together, and we alltake responsibility for it, which builds accountability.
62
19. CLARIFICATION : Theodore Colescott called attention to the wordingwhich states we are going to ask the clergy, but the money says that the clergy willdo it. Where is the accountability, and if we are billed, will it add additionalexpense and defeat the purpose? Kim Doverspike responded that if it is withheldby the local church from the pastor’s salary, the local church will still forward it onto the Annual Conference.
Malda Farnham spoke against the amendment because it appears to say theConference can tell the local church that it cannot raise money for some particularpurpose, if it so chooses. The amendment was adopted.
Mark Schneider asked how the health insurance subsidy will be implemented. KimDoverspike replied that he did not know how this will be done, although he did statethe necessity of each pastor providing written documentation to the local churchtreasurer in order for the treasurer to withhold. As it is written, it is an asking.
David E. Brown reminded members that we are trying to create a budget which isaligned with the core process; we are trying to say we have a vision before us (toraise up spiritual leaders to lead in local churches) and when we try to align thebudget with the core process, we are trying to spend the monies we receive intoareas which will help the core process. The local church is the avenue by whichministries take place. Maybe the core process is not right and should be somethingdifferent, but that would entail another special session!
Perry Wieland asked for a specific definition of SEED money. Laurits Nielsenresponded that SEED money is deposit money and start-up costs, administered bythe Council on Ministries. It refers to an expense (not necessarily deposit moneythat will be returned); working money for people working on valuable projects.Perry Wieland responded that with respect to the JUMYS and UMYS budgets,there is start-up money already available.
Duane Gebhard said the cabinet is in agreement with and supportive of #1, withrespect to their salaries. Harlyn Hagmann said we need to clarify the questionabout how optional clergy participation in the insurance program is going to be.We need to be clear that if the Annual Conference pays a stipulated amount and ifthe local church pays a stipulated amount, and if there is a shortage, insurance willbe cut.
63
20. WORLD SERVICE FUND: Richard Ireland moved that in 1996 we pay ourworld service fund as it is received, thereby eliminating the cuts as proposed in thealternate budget. The amendment was seconded. Aileen Williams spoke againstthe amendment.
Mike Day suggested the problem is not with money, but leadership. He questionedaloud why clergy are unable to stimulate and motivate our congregations to give.Jean Rollin spoke against the motion, wanting to pay the world service fund as itcomes in, but adding the money back into ministries.
Bruce Erickson believes we need to be more supportive of one another and moresupportive of the struggles in churches. Although his church has not fully paidconference apportionments, they have paid $56,000, which is 50% of the $118,000they are apportioned. There are necessary choices continually before the church.They do their best with the money that comes in, and trust others also do.
The vote on the following amendment did not carry: “Delete all cuts identified inthe substitute budget amendment with the following – in 1996 we as an AnnualConference will pay world service at a rate equal to the percent of the apportioneddollars received.”
21. SUBSTITUTE: Charles Purdham spoke in favor of the substitute motion asproposed by Laurits Nielsen. He called our attention to two subsidiary items to thecore process: empowering the laity, and engaging the corporate mission. It is rightat that point where the rubber hits the road, because so many of those corporatemission things have been taken out in the budget proposed by CFA. We heard thismorning where we are planting new seeds, but with that budget we are pulling upplants that are already bearing fruit, and the fruit is still needed.
22: RECEPTIONIST : Duane Sarazin moved the following amendment as acompromise, regarding item #4 on page 1: “Restore $12,500 to item #4 of theNielsen amendment for a part-time office receptionist. Deduct $10,000 from therestoration of the Minnesota Council of Churches, and deduct $2,500 from item #7of page 2.”
Peter Moody spoke in favor of the motion, believing it is crucial for the church toremain on a personal basis with people; voice mail is not the way to go. RobertLange spoke in favor. Speaking against the amendment, Roger Lynn askedmembers to consider what we are cutting out, believing it is crucial to support ourecumenical ministries and responsibilities. Ray Cabaniss spoke against the
64
amendment believing we need a full-time receptionist. Joann Youngstrom spokeagainst the amendment because of the proposed cut to Minnesota Council ofChurches. The amendment was defeated.
23. SUBSTITUTE: Kenneth Beck spoke in favor of the Nielsen amendment. Weneed a core process. We now have a bureaucratic core, but are looking for the fruit.Mary Ellen Nielsen, proposed that the health insurance subsidy substitute “asking”with “requiring.” (page 1, #3)
Kim Doverspike reminded members that if the subsidy is cut and it becomes acontributory plan, the rates will go up. Roger Grafenstein spoke in favor of theamendment, as did Keith Lightfoot. The amendment passed. Voting on the Nielsenamendment as amended, it carried. CFA’s budget, as amended, was before us.
24. EPISCOPAL FUND: Gary Lueck moved to pay the episcopal fund at 86%,and reinvest the remainder in #45. Bishop Christopher ruled the motion out oforder according to Discipline ¶911.5 – General Conference askings cannot bereduced. Walter Lockhart questioned the difference between paying the worldservice fund as it comes in and the episcopal fund as it comes in. Kim Doverspikereplied that we cannot apportion less than 100%, or the ceiling would have to beraised.
Ted Beran asked the amount of the Bishop’s salary, and Bishop Christopher repliedit is about $75,000. Charles Dundas moved that the level of episcopal fund be paidas it is received, and the amount remaining be paid to item 45 as instructed byCCOM.
Gerrit Molenaar, Jr. reminded members of Discipline ¶719, which states thatchurches can only pay their pastors at the rate the Bishop and districtsuperintendents are paid. Richard Ormsby stated that our share of the episcopacyfund goes into a pool, out of which bishops around the world are paid. RobertHunter observed that we have not followed the ¶719 rule up until this point, so whystart now?
Terry Tilton pointed out that leadership must enforce the above if it is to befollowed. He also reminded members that the monies could not be administereduntil January 10th of the following year, before moving that this be tabled. (Wecannot reallocate money we do not collect.) The motion to pay the level ofepiscopal fund as it is received was tabled.
65
25. MINNESOTA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES : Joanne Church brought forththe proposal for paying our fair share of membership in the MN Council ofChurches. Peter Law asked that this be ruled out of order, and spoke against theamendment.
Kenneth Beck spoke in favor of the amendment, reminding members that theoriginal purpose of equitable salaries was for all clergy to have a livable wage. Theprogram has grown beyond all reason and while it began as a well-intentionedprogram, it has run amok. We need to redeploy our leadership to work with othercommunions. Mark Schneider spoke against the amendment. The motion wasdefeated.
26. BUDGET ADOPTED: David McBride moved the question. A motion toclose debate passed. The budget as amended was before us. The budget wasadopted.
Harlyn Hagmann clarified an earlier statement with respect to the world servicefund: UMCOR administrative costs are not paid out of the world service fund, butout of the One Great Hour of Sharing offering.
27. UNFUNDED MINISTRIES: Bruce Buller moved that the AnnualConference authorize persons, boards, or agencies which have not been funded forprograms in the 1996 budget, to bring to the 1996 Annual Conference structuralproposals in support of unfunded ministries, with time in the agenda forpresentation, and the understanding that they be prepared for inclusion in pre-conference materials. The motion carried.
28. MINUTES: Marvin Repinski moved that the minutes of this AnnualConference special session be included in the 1996 Journal. The motion carried.Rufus Campbell led us through an evaluation process. Worship leaders ledworship.

VI. REPORTS
A. ACTIONS OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Item # 500 INCAPACITATION COMPENSATION
The Incapacitation Compensation program administered through our ConferenceBoard of Pension and Health Benefits has served our Conference well. In itsimplementation, the written Standing Rule (pages 382-385 in the 1995 Journal)authorizing this program, has occasionally led to unnecessary delays andmisunderstandings. In order to remove these impediments, the Board of Pensionand Health Benefits submits the following revision as a substitution for the entireStanding Rule now in our Journal.
J. There shall be an Incapacitation Compensation Program in the AnnualConference.1. Incapacitation compensation means financial assistance provided the
Annual Conference through its Board of Pension and Health Benefits(CBOPHB) a church or other funding entity (charge, district or annualconference) within the Conference connectional structures when anappointed clergyperson, because of impaired health (illness, surgery oraccident), is judged by the Cabinet to be temporarily unable to performthe essential duties of the appointment.
2. CBOPHB compensation for an incapacitated clergyperson shall beprovided with the following stipulations:a. Throughout any period of incapacitation the entity funding the
position shall always provide housing and utilities for theclergyperson until the appointment is changed.
b. Through the first 60 days of incapacitation the funding entity shall, inaddition to housing and utilities, continue to provide full support (i.e.salary at the current level, health insurance, Ministerial Pension Planand Comprehensive Protection Plan). For this 60 day period,however, the CBOPHB, when requested by the Cabinet, may providefunds for pulpit supply or other services essential to the position. TheCabinet’s request shall include a brief description of the need forfinancial assistance as well as identifying the effective date of theclergyperson’s incapacitation status.
137
c. Following the first 60 days of incapacitation, the funding entity shallcontinue to provide housing and utilities for the pastor, but theCBOPHB, when requested by the Cabinet, may fund theincapacitated clergyperson’s Ministerial Pension Plan, Comprehen-sive Protection Plan, health insurance premium costs, and salarysupport at the applicable equitable compensation level (not theclergyperson’s current salary level). Funds for pulpit supply or otherservices integral to the position are no longer provided unless theincapacitated clergyperson’s compensation assistance is only partialand the Cabinet regards funding of pulpit supply or other servicesprovided by the particular funding entity to be essential for themissional needs of the Conference.
3. Should there be a Recurrence of Incapacitation within the same funding entity,the following shall apply:a. No local church, charge, district or annual conference funding entity shall
be required to provide more than 60 days of full support for incapacitationwithin any five year period. Accordingly, whenever a clergyperson isplaced on incapacitation and the funding entity, because of a previousincapacitation, fulfills its five year obligation of full support for 60 daysprior to completion of full support for the first 60 days with the currentincapacitation, the CBOPHB will at that point offer the financialassistance which ordinarily begins only after the first 60 days ofincapacitation. In this circumstance, until the first 60 days ofincapacitation are completed, the CBOPHB will compensate salary at thecurrent level; after the first 60 days, the salary component reverts to theapplicable equitable compensation level.
b. In the case of recurrence, funds ordinarily provided for pulpit supply orother essential services are reduced in proportion to the funds which theCBOPHB provided in the first 60 days for the incapacitatedclergyperson’s compensation.
4. The period for incapacitation compensation shall be no longer than 6 months:a. Incapacitation shall be considered a continuation if recurrence takes place
within 90 days of resumption of essential duties and results from, or iscontributed to, by the same or related causes as those of the previousincapacitation.
b. The status of a clergyperson on incapacitation compensation shall bereported monthly by the Cabinet to the CBOPHB.

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized that the MinnesotaAnnual Conference is the appropriate organization to designate a housing/rentalallowance for retired and disabled ordained or licensed ministers who are membersof this Conference;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:1. An amount equal to 100% of the pension payments received during the years
of 1996 and 1997 be and is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowancefor each retired and disabled ordained or licensed minister of The UnitedMethodist Church who is or was a member of the Minnesota AnnualConference at the time of his or her retirement;
2. This rental/housing allowance shall apply to each retired and disabledordained or licensed minister who has been granted the retired relation orplaced on disability leave by the Minnesota Annual Conference and whosename and relationship to the conference is recorded in the Journal of theMinnesota Annual Conference and in other appropriate records maintained bythe conference;
3. The pension payment to which this rental/housing allowance applies shall bethe pension payment resulting from all service of such retired and disabledordained or licensed minister from all employment by any local church,Annual Conference or institution of The United Methodist Church or of anyformer denomination that is now a part of The United Methodist Church, orfrom any other employer who employed the minister to perform servicesrelated to the ministry and who elected to make contributions to the pensionfunds of The United Methodist Church for such retired minister’s pension.

Action: That the years of service and pension credit in the Minnesota AnnualConference be approved for the persons who are requesting retirement at the 1996Annual Conference session.Resourcing Required: NoneSubmitted By: Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefit
Adopted (minutes, #64)
Item #503 HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM SUBSIDYFOR ACTIVE CLERGY
Action: That each local church or salary-paying unit pay 80% of the cost ofcoverage (individual or family) in the MAC PLAN medical insurance programwith the Conference paying 20% of the cost.Implementation: Local church treasurer, Conference treasurerResourcing Required: See CBOPHB budget line items for health premiums.Submitted by: Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits
Adopted as amended (minutes, #65)The following section was deleted:Rationale: The 80%-20% split was originally approved at the 1993 AC session. The actiontaken at the November, 1995 AC session to have clergy participate in the cost is not felt tobe administratively cost effective and efficient. In light of the cost of the MP being lowerthan originally proposed, a modest increase in cost within the apportioned budget wouldcover the 20% conference subsidy of active clergy. The proposed legislation to the AprilGeneral Conference would place the 3% personal contribution by clergy as voluntary. Ifapproved, starting in 1998, the conference may wish to consider pastor’s paying this 3% andcongregations paying more than the current 80% of the medical insurance cost.

Item #508 RECOMMENDATION ON DIRECTOR OFCAMPS AND RETREAT MINISTRIES
The camping and retreat ministries of the Annual Conference and local churchesserve the mission of inviting, forming and sending forth Christian disciples to be inministry. We strongly affirm these ministries as effective and necessary, especiallyas reported in the camping task force recommendation, along with the need for astaff person to direct and resource them. We believe that the future form of theministry and staff position need to be based on careful consideration of theseministries and their alignment with the core process of the Annual Conference.Therefore, we recommend the following:
That the position of Director of Camping and Retreat Ministries be continued,utilizing the present sources of funding and the position description, for a minimumof two years, following the implementation of the new staffing model for theAnnual Conference. That during the two years of continuance the Director berelated to the Steward of Empowerment for reporting and professional support.That after two years, the Conference Personnel Committee and the Board of Campsand Conferences evaluate the position and ministries and recommend to theAnnual Conference the basis and form for their continuance and the Director’srelationship to the staff and structure.
Submitted By: Interim Council
Adopted (minutes, #78)
Item #509 CONFERENCE STRUCTURE
Action: Suspend the Standing Rules relating to Conference structure (pp. 274-289of 1993 Journal) from the 1996 Annual Conference session to the 1997 AnnualConference session, pursuant to the adoption of a staffing configuration alignedwith the core, aligned, and supporting processes of the Minnesota AnnualConference;
Nominating Committee will fill only those open positions required by MinnesotaState Law and The Book of Discipline subsequent to General Conference in April,1996. Other persons currently serving would continue in existing positions untilJune, 1997.
144
The Nominating Committee will nominate teams of up to ten persons to work ineach of the five process areas to identify the organizational design needed to sustainthe Minnesota Annual Conference processes. This team will recommend a designto the 1997 Annual Conference session for approval.
Rationale: In order to realize our vision/mission, we have begun to align our lifearound the core, aligned, and supporting processes of the Annual Conferencethrough the work we have done in the areas of budgeting and staffing. Designteams on each of the processes are finishing their work. A model for a new way ofthinking about our work has been proposed in the staffing recommendations. Thenext year will be a time of discerning how best to organize ourselves to accomplishthe functions necessary to each process. Suspending the standing rules will allowthe essential functions of our work to continue through existing structures, while wedesign a new way of organizing ourselves.

Item #510 CLERGY DAY APART FOR WORSHIP/GATHERINGS
Initiator: CabinetResolution:1) That one specific day per month within the conference calendar (the firstThursday of each month) be set aside in order that all clergy may gather togetherin district (or sub-district) groups for the purpose of worship/spiritual growth andbody-life activities;2) That the conference calendar be harmonized with this action so that beginningJanuary 1997 no meetings at which a clergy person is required to be in attendancebe scheduled for the day which is set aside for clergy worship;3) That all clergy be diligent in providing in her/his own schedule the setting asideof this time for worship/spiritual growth with the congregation of the clergy asthese occasions are planned by the district superintendent and other clergycolleagues.4) That accountability to the body of clergy will be expected for participation inthese events.
145
Rationale:1) This action aligns with and supports our Conference core process;2) As ordained people we’re called to be spiritual leaders/directors within our owncongregations/ministries, but often do not attend worship except those times whenwe must be in leadership of worship.3) Pastors all across the conference in retreat and informal conversations haveexpressed the desire to grow spiritually together, and thus to give God theopportunity to unite us more as the body of Christ.4) Clergy need the opportunity to worship regularly when they are not “on duty.”5) In order for renewal to happen within congregations and the conference, weclergy must discipline ourselves to make corporate worship of God and fellowshipwith the clergy congregation a high priority.
Implementation:1) Review, discuss and refine within the Cabinet2) Discuss and refine within clergy gatherings across the conference3) Discuss and refine within the conference Board of Ordained Ministry4) Discuss and refine within the conference Council on Ministries, and otherBoards/Agencies5) Present to 1996 Annual Conference for adoption (adoption must be by the entireconference due to calendar implications)6) District superintendents will be responsible for working with district clergygroups to implement this on each district7) District Superintendents and individual clergy will inform each localcongregation/ministry of this action and ask for cooperation toward harmonizinglocal calendars, e.g. staff meetings, Bible studies, etc., so that clergy may attendthese clergy gatherings as a priority spiritual need.
Adopted as amended (minutes, # 87)
Item # 511 EQUITABLE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION
The Commission on Equitable Compensation makes the following recommenda-tions for calendar year 1997.A. There shall be a base cash compensation for each charge of the Conference to
be calculated upon two factors:1) Minimum cash compensation2) Increments for seniority of the pastor.
146
B. The minimum cash compensation for all pastors who qualify according to theStanding Rules of the Minnesota Annual Conference in 1997 shall be$21,200.1) Increments for seniority shall begin in the second year of service. There
shall be added to the base cash compensation an increment of $ 335 peryear for the first twenty years of full-time service in the Minnesota AnnualConference. The additional increments beyond the 15 in place in 1994shall be implemented over the next five years as follows:
1995 - sixteenth increment 1998 - nineteenth increment1996 - seventeenth increment 1999 - twentieth increment1997 - eighteenth increment
Seniority tenure for base cash compensation purposes shall be computedon the calendar year rather than the conference year. Pastors received intothe Minnesota Annual Conference by transfer of credentials shall havetheir seniority tenure status determined by the cabinet at the time ofacceptance into the Minnesota Annual Conference. Years served bystudent pastors while appointed to attend school shall not be counted asservice years.
2) The minimum cash compensation and schedule of increments forseniority shall be reviewed annually by the Equitable CompensationCommission.
C. In addition to the base cash compensation, every charge shall pay actualutilities for church owned parsonages. Utilities include: heat, electricity,water, sewage, garbage disposal, basic cable costs, basic telephone costs forthe parsonage and the church, and long distance calls applicable to the charge.
D. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall pay that portion ofthe conference health insurance program for pastors and their families notpaid by the annual conference.
E. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall make the pastor’smonthly pension contribution, except for the 1% which is to be paid by thepastor.
F. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall budget anallowance for continuing education. The Conference minimum is $800 peryear. It is recommended that the amount be equal to 2.5% of the ConferenceAverage Compensation which for 1997 is $36,352 or $908.80. (See 1988Journal, “Program of Continuing Education” under III.B.5, page 234). Thisamount is to be expended only on a vouchered basis as reimbursement.
147
G. The pastors shall be reimbursed for vouchered actual mileage driven in parishwork at least equal to the Internal Revenue Service approved rate (31 cents in1996).
H. Each charge shall establish and budget for an accountable reimbursement planfor pastor’s business-related expenses which meets Internal Revenue Servicerequirements for such a plan. Conference minimum is $500.
I. In the event that it should be necessary and advisable to make exceptions to therules stated above and in the Standing Rules of the Conference, the matter mustbe referred to the Equitable Compensation Commission by the cabinet.
J. In addition to vacation time, the charge shall provide a period of time forcontinuing education. The Conference minimum shall be one week per year.It is recommended that in addition, a one-month period be provided withineach quadrennium. (See The Book of Discipline 1992, ¶445.2).
The changes in the above recommendations from 1995 Annual Conference actionare few in number:(1) An increase of $550 in the base cash compensation in “B”(2) An increase in the recommended amount (NOT minimum) for continuing
education in “F”(3) Establishment of a Conference minimum for the accountable reimbursement
plan in “H”
The rationale is as follows:Re (1): This is a 2.66% increase which is comparable to the Social Security cost
of living adjustment of 2.6%.Re (2): This increase is an adjustment in the amount on paper only for most
congregations. The $800 minimum is not changed.Re (3): During this past year the Commission received numerous requests for
guidance regarding the amount appropriate for this required line item.This amount is understood by the Commission to be the minimum thatcould be anticipated for such reimbursed expenses in the accountableplan.

Item #515 TAX LIABILITY FOR PASTORS MOVINGLESS THAN 50 MILES
Action: That the Equitable Compensation Commission provide grants of up to$500 to pastors moving less than 50 miles to partially defray the tax liabilityincurred in their moves.Rationale:(1) Pastors moving less than 50 miles are required to pay income tax and Social
Security on the cost of the move paid by the Annual Conference through theCommittee on Moving.
(2) The tax code assumes that moves of less than 50 miles are discretionarywhereas moves of United Methodist pastors are not.
(3) Our United Methodist heritage has consistently sought equity in pastoralcompensation, health insurance, pension contributions, other benefits, andreimbursable expenses.
Outcome:(1) The Bishop and Cabinet may make appointments for missional reasons with
lessened detrimental financial impact on pastors and families.(2) Pastors and families may be able to approach appointments for missional
reasons with more openness.(3) There will be more equity for pastors moving less than 50 miles.Implementation: The Equitable Compensation Commission will notify all thosewho qualify for this grant. Application will be made to the EquitableCompensation Commission which will determine the grant amounts based upontax liability incurred and the number of applications.Resourcing Required: The Equitable Compensation Commission has earmarked$5,000 from its 1997 budget request for this purpose. This assumes the request willbe granted in full.Submitted By: John A. Rehnberg

B. ADDRESSES TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE
LIVING WATER FOR THE BRANCHESSuperintendent’s Report to Annual Conference,
Duane M. Gebhard, Dean of the Cabinet
Text: John 4:5-15,25-26,39-42A youth group was doing home repair for the Johnson family in the AppalachianHills of Kentucky. When one of them asked Mrs. Johnson for some water, she said“Our wash water comes from the stream, but we get our drinking water from thewell.” She pointed to a covered stand beside the house where there was a ropewrapped around an axle turned by a hand crank. Tied to the rope was a long narrowwell bucket that would be let down nearly 75 feet into the well where it would fillslowly with water.
I thought of the large percentage of the people of the earth who are not even solucky as to have a private well near their home, to say nothing of running waterwithin the home. My mind also went to the conversation which Jesus had with thewoman by the well in Samaria, a conversation which could have happened thatvery day at the home of the Johnsons.
We must use a little more imagination for it to take place by a water fountain herein Atwood Center, or in a kitchen in any one of our homes. Nonetheless, using thisconversation as a background, I would like to touch on what we as superintendentsobserve and experience as we work with United Methodists across Minnesota.
As Jesus stopped by Jacob’s well near the Samaritan city of Sychar for a drink, awoman came to draw water. It was part of her daily routine. Like her, as UnitedMethodists we daily reach deep into our traditions and affirm who we are:
–First, we have strong biblical roots!One of the most frequent requests by laity at the time of appointment change is fora pastor who will preach biblically, and who is a good teacher of the Bible in studyclasses. We estimate that at least one-third of the churches of the conference haveDisciple Bible Study groups and are gaining the many values which come from thisintense training. We celebrate the 10th anniversary of this study, and stronglyencourage its use in every local church. There also appear to be a growing numberof groups meeting for in-depth Bible study or using study of the Bible as a way toset the context for administrative meetings.
159
–Second, we draw on our heritage as United Methodists.Among the many ways this happens, we note that our connection is highlyaffirmed, as shown by the response of many lay people to the study conducted bythe Conference Council on Ministry in the summer of 1994. The inter-connectedness of our churches, and our ability to share resources and leadership isa strength that is highly valued by many. As never before, General Conference inDenver made us aware of our global connection, and we continue to realize howmuch the whole world truly is the parish to which we belong.
–Third, our Wesleyan heritage and spirituality is increasingly important. . .New spiritual growth groups have sprung up in many churches and across parishlines, Covenant Discipleship groups are developing, and many persons are findingthat the growing edge of their faith journey is in the area of spiritual disciplines andmore regular prayer.
The United Methodist Church of Menahga in the Northwest District was extremelydiscouraged last summer and wondered if it should consider closing. Six monthslater it reported having found a sense of new life and vitality and hope for the future.Was it new leadership that brought this about? Not in this case. A group of thembegan meeting weekly for prayer and Bible study, and even invited several non-churched people to join them! Their anxiety and hopelessness disappeared as theyturned things over to God. This story has repeated itself in a number of other places.
Throughout this year, the cabinet has formed itself day by day and week byweek around the Wesleyan means of grace of regular prayer, Bible study,sacraments, fasting, and conferencing. As a Covenant Group, we haveaccountability with our personal prayer and Bible study. We have begun everysession of work together with worship, study of the Word, prayer, and singing ofhymns. We do virtually all of our appointment work in the context of discernmentand prayer.
As superintendents, we strongly endorse these and other daily treks to the well ofour traditions. They are a vitally important means of regular strength andnourishment for our life as followers of Christ. At the same time, we are painfullyaware that sometimes United Methodists of Minnesota get caught in ourdifferences.
The Samaritan Woman said to Jesus “How is it that you a Jew ask a drink of me?”and even the disciples later were astonished that he was talking with a woman!Imagine that!
160
è Because of differing perspectives on theological or social issues we haveexperienced painful divisions.è We have found it difficult to work through priorities as allocations ofresources shift within the conference.è We struggle with the matter of conference support over and against localchurch and mission needs.è There are differing understandings of our covenantal commitments, andour life within the appointment system means that as we work hard to place theappropriate spiritual leadership in every local church, there are sometimeshardships and frustrations.è As we each try to catch a glimpse of the vision of where our conferenceand church is headed, we see different things, and sometimes think that is asign of weakness.
It is helpful to hear Jesus’ reaction to the woman’s concern: “Everyone whodrinks of this water will be thirsty again.” If we only focus on these issues, wewill continue to thirst. Signs of hope come as issues that could divide areworked through, and we look beyond them.
As superintendents, we frequently find ourselves called on to help bringreconciliation to either work out struggles between pastor and congregation, orbetween groups within congregations. In the past year alone at least 12congregations have found new life with the help of outside consultants. It is alwaysa joy to see divisions and irritating relationships dissolve.
During the Appointment Dialogue Sessions, many voices spoke out affirming thedirection of missional appointments. But others asked for improvement of theprocess, especially at the point of consultation between superintendent and thelocal church, and for the superintendents to be more available to local churches andpastors. In response, significant changes along these lines are already happening.With reduced time being spent in meetings of conference boards and agencies,superintendents have had increased opportunity to spend two and three days at atime traveling through the district visiting with laity and clergy, or to meet morefrequently with churches facing survival issues or change of parish lines. Wecelebrate this!
161
It is not uncommon for superintendents to preach and visit in churches on thedistrict nearly every Sunday month after month, and we have more opportunities tointeract with leadership in the churches. When a change in appointment may occur,the cabinet is very intentional to offer pastors the opportunity to meet not with justtheir own superintendent, but to consult with a team of three additional cabinetmembers. Much more needs to be done to further improve the appointmentprocess, and we are committed to continue those efforts.
Yet, even as we work with all of these matters at hand, Jesus calls our attentionto things that are even of greater importance. Jesus answered the woman: “Ifyou knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ youwould have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Jesus was likely aware of the well-known fact of his day that there are two kinds ofwells. In one, the water seeped from the ground into a small pool into which thebucket was dropped. Jacob’s well was like this. Some wells, on the other hand,tapped into underground streams of cool, fresh, running water that never tastedstagnant. The woman probably thought Jesus was talking of this kind of well. Shedid not really hear and understand what Jesus meant.
We must ask ourselves, do we really know and hear the voice of Jesus when hesays “Give me a drink”?
è many children and youth no longer hear Bible stories from their parents,and they cry “give us a drink from the living water of spiritual truth.”è racism is a serious issue in racial-ethnic relationships with complicatedside-effects, and some people are persecuted because of differing lifestyles,and our sisters and brothers cry “give us a drink from the living water ofinclusiveness and justice.”è our churches are becoming smaller in one place after another whilepeoples’ needs are changing. In some of these places, population is evengrowing while fewer attend church, and yet the people cry “give us a drinkfrom the living water that uses God’s Word to make meaning in real lifeissues.”è in every community in Minnesota, violence and human pain is on theincrease, and people wonder if the church can do anything; they cry “give usa drink from the living water of planning and action to combat the rootcauses of evil.”è people of the world face some of the most challenging issues in humanhistory such as globalization, environmental deterioration, and technologicaladvances, they cry “give us a drink from the living water that understandsGod as creator to whom all are responsible.”
162
The skeptics around us respond “but you have no bucket, and the well is deep.”But dear friends, I don’t believe that we need to stand empty-handed in theface of these issues! There is much that we can and must do together.
Yet we must pay greater attention to Jesus as he says to us what he said to thewoman of Samaria, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, butthose who drink of the water I will give them will never be thirsty. The water thatI will give will become in them a spring of living water gushing up to eternal life.”Isn’t that a marvelous image? How do we find that spring of living water? Just aswith the vine and the branches, we realize that it is the vine which suppliesliving water to the branches. We must look beyond ourselves to the work of theSpirit.
As we do that, we see there are exciting signs and voices of new life!è Contemporary worship is attracting new people and seekers in a largenumber of congregations across the conference. At North Branch, forexample, worship attendance is running 240-290 with the contemporaryservice having five times the worshipers as the traditional service. Out of thiscongregation, there are now five persons seriously considering the candidacyprocess for ministry. The youngest of these is 13-year-old Ryan Nelson. . .è The three new congregations launched in this past year of CrossRoadsCommunity in Lakeville, Minnesota Christ Korean in the South metropolitanarea, and “Light of the Lakes” serving the Brainerd Lakes area are alreadyworshiping a total of over 250 per Sunday, with most of them having comefrom among the previously unchurched. Rebecca Mudget is here fromBrainerd to tell her story. . .è Congregations such as Hawley, Crookston Wesley, Coon Rapids, andMinnetonka have responded to the vision of being a Temple of God’s Spirit intheir communities, and have built new buildings this year to be better able toinvite people in and serve in the name of Christ. Many other congregationshave remodeled and added accessibility to their facilities.è People have heard the cry of those in need around the world. VolunteersIn Mission work teams in this past year have gone to places such as Uganda,Dominica, Nicaragua, Mexico, Ghana, as well as serving in many places inthis country. Youth have worked in two centers for STORM camp and UrbanService Camps right here in Minnesota! Individuals have gone on their ownto serve as volunteers.Eugene and Jan Jones, members of Christ Church, Rochester, recentlyreturned from having spent nine months in volunteer service coordinatingwork teams to bring relief to the refugee camps in Bukavu, Zaire.I welcome them to share a word.
163
è The cabinet and bishop, in making appointments, are more and moreworking in terms of appointing pastors to geographic areas similar to the waya missionary is assigned to a field rather than just to serve the congregation ofa specific church.
I know that we could go on for several hours, giving witness to the work of God’sspirit in our midst. I am convinced that we must look to the Spirit for living waterwhen we look for new ways to enable lay spiritual leaders to grow up out of ourcongregations. We must look to the Spirit for living water when we try to helppeople make meaning out of their lives. We must look to the Spirit for living wateras we struggle to transform the world around us into the reality of God’s realm. Wemust look to the Spirit for living water as we look for new ways to structure andstaff our conference to effectively raise up faithful disciples in our local churches.
As superintendents of this conference, we challenge every pastor and every layperson to increase the efforts toward being in tune with God’s Spirit in all that wedo. To this end, we strongly endorse the proposal before this conference that thefirst Thursday of every month be set aside as a Day Apart. It is to be kept free ofchurch, district and conference meetings, and is to be used as a time when clergycan gather for worship, Bible study and prayer.
When Mrs. Johnson in Kentucky showed the youth how to get water from the wellfor a drink, she did not know that by working in her home, the youth were learningabout living water from the Spirit because the youth were involved in service andmission as part of the Body of Christ, and they were learning what it meant to bedisciples. Today one of those youth witnesses to his faith daily as a medical doctor;and another is a naturalist in Alaska living out a powerful commitment to care forGod’s creation.
When the woman of Samaria first encountered Jesus, she thought only of water todrink for the day. But as she continued to learn who He was, she not only saidto him “Sir, give me of this water,” she ran to tell her friends. They came andsaw, and then said to the woman: “It is no longer because of what you said thatwe believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly theSavior of the world.”
We must focus everything we do as an Annual Conference, as UnitedMethodists, as consecrated and ordained ministers, as local churches, asdisciples of Christ; we must focus EVERYTHING we do on connecting peopleto the vine of Jesus Christ who supplies living water for the branches.
164
We must! We have no other work to do that is more important. Are you withme on this?
It is He who said, I am the vine and you are the branches. Those who abide inme, and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.. . My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become mydisciples.This is who we are as United Methodists of Minnesota!THANKS BE TO GOD! AMEN!

CONNECTIONS AND COVENANTSLaity Address, Aileen Williams, Conference Lay Leader
As I was preparing this Laity Address, I decided to read through those I hadpresented at previous conferences. I found that at the 1990 Annual Conference, Ihad used a metaphor to try to describe what I was observing and feeling in theUnited Methodist Church at that time. The metaphor I chose was of a beautifulbuilding. Here is a quote from that presentation: “It is as if we United Methodistshave built a beautiful building, well structured and planned. It has many rooms, andin each room there are such gifted and talented persons who wish to serve and makea difference for Christ in the world. Countless resources are in each room to do thework. The only problem is, that when we built the building, we failed to put inhallways or corridors to connect the rooms. We keep thinking someone is going tocome and knock down the wall and give us the big picture of how ourresponsibilities and work fit into the total functioning of the building. Meanwhile,we sit in our room talking a lot about what we wish would happen, and often sayingthat if ‘they’ would just do something, we would then know what we are to do.”
That was said in 1990, this is 1996. Today I state that this building metaphor is nolonger relevant in the Minnesota Annual Conference. We have left the buildingbehind and are experiencing ourselves as a living body. Yes, this body may stillhave some clogged arteries, and may not be as energized as it must become, but wehave left the building behind as we have captured a vision of a world transformedthrough Christ, and know that we must embody our faith in every aspect of our livesto participate in that transformation. As has been made clear through thepresentations of Dr. Watson, we are being called to radical discipleship. When wediscover the power of such discipleship in the body, we will claim and do the workGod has put before us. We will grow to live what is stated in the Discipline: Thatall Christians are called to this ministry of servanthood in the world to theglory of God and for human fulfillment.
Believing this, I must admit I become upset when I hear or read opinions as the onesexpressed in the editorial in the May 31st issue of the United Methodist Review.The writer believes that with the actions at General Conference to remove themandated structures of the local church, that only one form of connection remainsamong us, and that is financial giving. Is the editor stating that structure andfinances are the basis of our United Methodist connection? Isn’t that statement insharp contrast to our scripture base for the week from John 15: ‘Christ is the vineand we are the branches?’ If we believe that the only thing that unites local
166
churches with other United Methodists is structure and finances, we are in deepspiritual crisis. Structure and finances are expressions of connection, but they onlyhave meaning within the context of the connection we have through Christ, ourbaptism, our heritage and our relationships.
I come to witness today about being part of this connection. This is not the first timeI have experienced it, but a remarkable thing happened to me on my way to AnnualConference. After seeing many of you at the pre-conference sessions, I had plansto quickly get my annual medical examination out of the way before AnnualConference. With an appointment for a mammogram, I suddenly had my worldspin as the doctors told me they were very concerned about the findings anddescribed three indicators that convinced them that a malignancy was present. Fortwo days as I tried to deal with this news and listen to statistics on prognosis andtypes of treatment, I was deeply shaken and afraid. Then I decided to call upon thevine and the branches. I called a number of you and asked for prayer. You calledothers to request the same.
My Covenant Discipleship group at Christ Church in Rochester surrounded me onthe day I heard the diagnosis, and came to the hospital on the day of surgery. Afriend in Omaha had my name on a prayer chain in a church there, and one inMassachusetts, and one in Arizona. By the fourth day after the mammogram, I wasfeeling a peace that was a miracle. I was ready for what was ahead. Many of youhave heard that the surgery last week brought the news that there was no sign ofcancer in the tissue removed. When I walked into my doctor’s office the next dayshe said, “Aileen, these results are amazing. All indicators were pointing to amalignancy.” I replied that I too was amazed, but had received such tremendousprayer support and care. She said, “Well, Aileen, I do not know what factor prayerplays in healing.”
Then she explained that she and others in the breast clinic at the Mayo Clinic havedone a study on 199 patients with breast cancer to determine if active faith andinvolvement in a faith community has any impact on healing. Their findings areshowing a measurable difference in such patients having much lower levels ofhostility, anger. These patients accept treatment differently. Those who claim anactive faith in God, resort to much less use of drugs and alcohol. Dr. Johnson haspresented these findings to two major medical meetings, and there is growinginterest in further research.
167
This connection we have has power, and it is like a vine and branches as it growsthroughout our lives. We have a vine, Jesus Christ, to offer the world – and we needas never before to make covenant with one another to make Christ’s love real toothers wherever we are. To do that consistently, we need each other. The CovenantDiscipleship experience is a way for the body to gain the strength and the energyneeded. I am discovering that the Covenant Discipleship experience calls me toaccountability in every aspect of life and I am learning that this kind ofaccountability is where the joy of discipleship is to be found.
As I stated earlier, this latest experience with connection was not my first. Myunderstanding of what connection in Christ can mean was radically changed in1965 through experiences in Pakistan. My family had lived through a six monthperiod of war as India and Pakistan fought over boundaries. There had developedin Pakistan a hostility toward United States policy and U.S. citizens. Those of usserving as missionaries with the United Methodist church were deeply troubledwhether our presence was endangering the lives of the Pakistani Christians whowere our colleagues. We knew they were being persecuted because of theirassociation with us. One evening we put the question to our Pakistani bishop whileeating a meal with him in a restaurant. His answer to us made crystal clear whatconnection and covenant is about. He said, Aileen and Dave, look around us in thisrestaurant. The people here are looking at us and saying what could we possiblyhave in common...our skins are different colors, our languages are different, werecognize different national loyalties, very few experiences in our lives are thesame.......but you are here to work in Pakistan because of Jesus Christ in your lives,and that is why I am doing the ministry I am doing. It is Christ that connects us.You must stay.
As I finish my work as conference lay leader, my prayer for this conference andeach congregation and each person is that we will discover, know, proclaim and acton what it means to be part of Christ, the vine. That we will truly be living branches.
My deepest thanks to this conference for the opportunity to serve as conference layleader. The experiences in the last eight years, and the people with whom I haveworked have helped me grow in ways that I am celebrating in my life. My gratitudeto Bishop Christopher for her spiritual guidance, her vision and her deepcommitment to lay ministry. It is also with joy that I recognize Jean Justice as thenext Minnesota conference lay leader. She will bring to the work new insights,energies and commitment. My friends, we have tremendous potential to fulfill ourmission and vision. May each of us come to know the courage, commitment,connection and covenant required to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

C. REPORTS FROMBOARDS AND AGENCIES
COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
The Commission on Archives and History concentrated in 1995 on evaluating itsresponsibilities, particularly on how best to balance its need to provide ongoingcare for archival collections with encouragment and skills development for localhistory and records committees.
At our June meeting we identified potential focus areas for the commission thatformed the basis for a survey of commission members to identify their interests.Based on responses, we chose two areas for further discussion and planning at ourfall meeting, creating a newsletter for church historians and developing a churchhistorian fellowship/network.
The first issue of the newsletter was published as a joint project of the commissionand the United Methodist Historical Society of Minnesota. All historians identifiedon the church officer lists and society members received copies. We hope topublish at least three issues each year.
Several commission members began work on the fellowship/network late in theyear; more will be done in 1996.
After the June Annual Conference session, the commission spent much timerevising its 1996 budget request to comply with the new “outcomes” format.
The commission continues to oversee the work of the conference archives and isstill grappling with the problem of tight storage space. Over the years, we have alsowished to develop a systematic records management plan for Conference agenciesand offices and were pleased to learn that L. Dale Patterson, the denominationalarchivist, is preparing a manual for records management at both the Conferenceand local church levels. We hope to have that later in 1996.

CAPITAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENTAND FINANCE COMMISSION
The primary purpose of the Commission is to support churches which are seekingfinancing for expansions or new church development. The Commission providesa backstop to a local church financing by adding the credit of the AnnualConference to that of the church. This is done in the form of a loan guarantee. Thecollateral for this credit enhancement comes from four sources in this order:
1. Cash and marketable investment assets of the Commission2. The Permanent Church Extension Fund3. Conference-owned property4. The pledges of 276 local churches
In 1995, the Commission provided three loan guarantees in an aggregate amount of$1,200,000.
Arlington Hills UMC $400,000Coon Rapids UMC $550,000Hawley UMC $250,000
The Commission provided assistance in financial structuring to two additionalchurches which were able to secure financing without the need for loan guarantees.
As of December 31, 1995 the Commission had 18 loan guarantees in place with atotal value of $6,906,079. A complete list of loan guarantees is provided as anattachment to this report. (Financial Resume)
During the year, the Commission continued to redesign its financial assistanceprogram in order to become more “user friendly” to our customers whileresponding to increasingly complex information requests from lenders. Thisinitiative will continue in 1996.
The Commission members and staff have broad backgrounds in finance andrelated disciplines and should be viewed as a resource for churches which arecontemplating capital projects. Inquiries may be made by telephoning the AnnualConference office at 612/870-0058, extension 248. Meetings are scheduledmonthly and are held as needed to conduct the necessary business of theCommission. In special circumstances the Commission will meet on call or willsend representatives to meet with local churches.
170
As noted above, the Commission’s ability to provide loan guarantees is, in part,dependent on pledges from local churches as collateral. In the history of theCommission, there has never been a call on local church pledges to provide loanrepayments. By supporting this program, local churches can leverage scarcefinancial resources with very little likelihood of incurring any expense. We invitechurches to participate, or increase their level of participation in this much neededoutreach mission.

CONFERENCE BOARD OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONThe Conference Board of Christian Education cut back on its programming due tothe request to hold spending to a minimum. Two primary areas of work were theFaith Formation Consultants programming and planning for the conference rally“Daring Ventures In Christian Education.” The Section on Adult Ministriescoordinated plans for and hosted the Disciple Bible Study Training Seminar heldin February.
181
In January of 1995 changes to what had been the Education Field Service were putinto place. The Education Field Staff became the Faith Formation Consultantsstaff. The name change reflected the staff’s intent to provide a greater range ofservices to reflect the conference’s emphasis on resourcing and training leadershipin all areas of faith formation. The structure changes reflected sharing of thecoordinator’s role among the Faith Formation Consultants staff. Anne Lucassebecame coordinating chair, Lori Gilbertson cared for publicity andcommunications. Other staff persons are Sally Wizik Wills, Justine Lawrence, andPam Johnson. They continued to provide workshops and consultations throughoutour conference, for individual congregations, clusters, districts, and for conferenceevents. The scope of the work of this ministry continues to evolve as theconference reorders its focus for ministry.
“Daring Ventures in Christian Education” was held October 14 at the Holiday InnNorth conference center in Brooklyn Center. More than 100 persons participatedin the day of workshops, worship, and a keynote address by EugeneRoehlkepartain on “Rethinking Christian Education.” It was a day for personsworking with children, youth and adults, providing thoughtful challenges forChristian education, idea gathering, fellowship, and spiritual enrichment. Aportfolio of Program Success Stories was included with the day’s resources.
Christian Education Sunday was highlighted through the Nurture issue of Connect.The Christian Education Sunday Offering was reaffirmed by the AnnualConference. Among the projects supported by the 1995 offering were scholarshipsfor Disciple Bible Study Training for two churches in each district not yet enrolledin Disciple, and for the October rally.
The age level sections were active where possible within budget bounds. FamilyMinistries helped in planning and promoting the musical on violence at HamlineUniversity. Adult Ministries, Young Adult Ministries, and Older Adult Ministriesparticipated in workshop and conference opportunities. Youth Ministries providedan array of programming for the youth of our conference. Children’s Ministriesadvocated for the children of our conference and provided training opportunities.
The Conference Board met only once due to budget and programming constraints.The sections and special programming groups carried out their work as needed.We await further direction in this time of transition, with trust in the process andconviction that Christian Education is important and included in all that we do inministry within the churches of this conference.

COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN UNITYAND INTERRELIGIOUS CONCERNS
The Conference’s ecumenical committee, known by its acronym CCUIC, isdedicated to keeping the traditional United Methodist commitment to the work ofecumenism alive in Minnesota. To that end, the committee sent a large delegationto the 1995 Minnesota Conference on the Church of Christ Uniting (known as theMN COCU Conference). Some delegates have participated in all ten MN COCUConferences. Most have participated in more than several.
The committee recommended that the Minnesota Annual Conference activelysupport the COCU covenant proposal at the General Conference. The 1995Annual Conference unanimously reaffirmed its commitment to the covenantproposal.
The Conference’s ecumenical committee has also promoted Ecumenical SharedMinistries (ESM), that is, congregational ministries shared with otherdenominations. The committee participated in an ESM pilot project in Minnesotathat led to a national consultation on ESMs in 1995. At the 1995 AnnualConference the committee provided hospitality and a luncheon for UnitedMethodists and pastors from other denominations serving ESMs. The committeealso sent a proposal to General Conference to the effect that non-UM clergy servingunder UM appointment have all the rights and privileges of UM clergy while underUM appointment.
A highlight of 1995 was our decision to give an annual award to a person,congregation or ministry that contributes significantly to ecumenism. The awardwill be named after its first recipient, Jeanne Audrey Powers, an ecumenist parexcellence from our conference. The Jeanne Audrey Powers Ecumenical Awardwill be presented each year at annual conference.

CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON MINISTRIES
In October, 1994, the Council on Ministries decided to break away from thestructured, board and agency tradition of planning and adopt a cross-functional,team approach to its work. This meant leaving behind familiar methods ofoperation for a new way that appeared to offer exciting promise, but was untriedand unknown. Fundamental to this change was a new budgeting process. Insteadof using the financial history of each agency as a primary foundation for the 1996
183
budget proposal, the Council agreed to form a consensus on the ends sought throughits work and to allocate financial resources based upon the priorities establishedduring the process. The emphasis would shift from the dollars available to spend,to the results intended to be accomplished.
Critical to this process was formation of a vision shared by the Council, the AnnualConference structure, the congregations and their leaders, and consistent with whatUnited Methodists expect from their Church. In January, 150 conference leadersgathered. We reflected on the results of the listening process conducted in 1994which included a random sample survey completed by 197 leaders from forty-twocongregations. We engaged one another in lively discussion, prayed, sang, andstudied the scriptures. We were blessed with the Spirit’s presence as hopes anddreams for shared ministry began to emerge. A task force was chartered to giveform to and articulate the shared vision.
Meanwhile, the Council worked to clarify its understanding of its role and functionwithin the system as described by the Mission/Vision statement of the AnnualConference. Consensus was reached in May on the following: the Council onMinistries will align its life around its primary task of supporting congregationalleaders through providing resources for transformational ministry based upon theneeds identified by churches in their unique settings. At the same time, furtherclarity was achieved in understanding the desired results of the Council’s work.Three ends were identified and phrased in terms of congregational vitality. Theseare the major aims we seek:• A vital congregation will be a Christian community experiencing spiritual
renewal and a deepening of commitment...• A vital congregation will welcome all God’s children at all levels of our
common life...• A vital congregation will follow the example of Christ by seeking to be in
partnership with their local and global communities in all their diversity...
The next step required the identification of means, the tools for moving us in thedirection of our goals. A list of eighteen methods was developed and then refinedinto six priorities believed to have the potential for greatest impact in the nearfuture. They are: leadership development, access to resources, training of leaders,communications, support of small group ministries, and giftedness/volunteerism.Over the summer six Strategic Planning Teams, consisting of sixty-five leadersfrom the Council and congregations met to formulate specific plans for each of themeans, including the financial resources required for their implementation. Aseventh team was given the difficult task of reviewing the Council’s currentprogrammatic activity to determine what was not included in the new vision ofshared ministry and to suggest means of transition from those activities.
184
In October the reports and proposals of the Strategic Planning Teams and theTransition Team were considered by the Council and used to develop its 1996budget request. Due to financial constraints, the Special Session of the AnnualConference approved only a portion of the request. The funds provided will serveprimarily to continue on-going ministries. The majority of the strategies formoving into the future were not funded. Nevertheless, the Council has restructureditself to follow through on implementation of the new vision. Cross-functionalteams were established to monitor and evaluate current programming. Other teamshave been chartered to continue development of the six priorities.
The process we have followed has not been without pain, misunderstanding, andhurt feelings. We believe, though, that we have arrived at a new understanding ofwhat the Council is and how it works, and that we have grown in the doing. It isalways difficult to be at the interface between past and future. We are much morefocused now on ministry and people than on dollars. We celebrate the change.

THE CONFERENCE BOARD OF DEVELOPMENT (CBD)
Your CBD ministry is . . . eight years old in 1995 . . . designed for measurableoutcomes . . . welcoming accountability . . . serving customers . . . and devotedto life-long relationships
The Minnesota Conference has provided $2.17 million in annual budgets to theCBD since inception. Gifts of all types have been facilitated through the work ofthe CBD, totaling $10,140,494.70. The cumulative costs-to-outcomes ratio is$4.67 for every $1 of funding.
The primary task of the CBD is often equated with dollars, but accurate measure ofits “ministry of cultivation” must be focused on the givers and their gifts.Individual givers, to whom abundant blessings have been entrusted, are the onlysource of income for funding the ministry of the United Methodist Church. TheCBD is devoted to giver relationships, facilitating the vital element of connectioninherent to the UMC.
Since August 1987, 419 churches in Minnesota have been served in their localsetting by the CBD’s staff. These CBD services include: planned giftpresentations, wills seminars, fostering congregational planning for gifts,consultations on debt, campaigns, expansion, fund raising, investment options andendowments, donor visits and pulpit service.
185
The CBD manages the conference data base in support of a variety of UMCexpressions and ministries of our church in Minnesota. The volume of servicerequests has grown from 11 in 1991 to 584 in 1995 – a 530% increase in customerservices.
In 1995, the CBD assumed responsibilities for the gift follow up of the “Investmentin Caring” campaign. Pledge and payment acknowledgments and givercorrespondence are primary tasks in this multi-year effort.
At the close of 1995 the CBD had to “come to grips” with an extreme budgetreduction. In 1996 the CBD will receive 20% less budget than it did in 1988.First steps in the consolidation of staff responsibilities were taken as of December31, 1995. Marylee Boutcher and Louise Madson left the employ of MinnesotaConference; their contributions were celebrated and appreciated. Analysis andtesting of the CBD’s staff needs continues.
The Minnesota Annual Conference needs to celebrates its successes andaccomplishments – the CBD is one of them.

COMMITTEE ON EPISCOPACY
Our work in this last year of the quadrennium has focused on the completion of theassessment process as directed by the North Central Jurisdiction Committee onEpiscopacy. The process entails developing a profile of the conference and anassessment of the strengths and growth needs of the bishop. Material for the reportwas collected through conversations in each of the six districts with personsselected by committee members, district superintendents and district leaders;
186
conversations with board and agency persons, cabinet, staff, and withrepresentative groups. The finalized report became the property of thejurisdictional committee to be used in determining assignments of bishops at theconclusion of Jurisdictional Conference in July 1996.
The committee has taken seriously its Disciplinary mandate to support the bishopin the oversight of the spiritual and temporal affairs of the church, and to beavailable to her for counsel. We are grateful for the gifts she brings to the MinnesotaConference, and we affirm her presence and leadership in the church at large.
Several members of the committee will have completed their quadrennial terms.The committee has been a group of committed, hard working individuals whosefaithfulness has been reflected in the quality of work they have done.

EQUITABLE COMPENSATION COMMISSIONThe Equitable Salary Commission ran over budget in 1995 because of severalemergency grants provided in unique situations. We continue to work at reducingthe amount provided on an ongoing basis to local churches. This year wedeveloped guidelines for an accountable reimbursement plan. Changes in tax lawsmake adopting such a plan highly advantageous to pastors and local churches.
Members of the committee have answered a number of questions about how tostructure clergy compensation. We hope to provide further guidance on thissubject in our next Setting the Pastor’s Compensation brochure; we are verywilling to consult with pastors & churches on an individual basis.

CONFERENCE BOARD OF GLOBAL MINISTRIESIn Honor of Cleone Hagmann
We wish to dedicate this report to the witness, vision, and work of CleoneHagmann, Conference Director of Outreach from 1987 to 1995. Cleone served thecongregations of the Minnesota Conference faithfully as their link to local,regional, national, and global mission projects. In so many ways, she embodied theconnection that links all of us to service beyond ourselves. Cleone was that trustedpresence, the one who knew the system and the one who could get it to work. Sooften she would say, “I’ll find out for you!” or “Here’s how to get it done!” Herquiet support was felt across the conference in various district mission saturations,United Methodist Women’s events, missioner-in-resident programs, and ouryearly Love Offering.
Cleone is a team builder, an equipper, the coach who sent the team out onto the field withdirection and enthusiasm. Each mission project is important in her view, but she is especiallysupportive of our ethnic minority work. Cleone pulled together and supported the team thateventually produced the 1995 landmark document entitled: “An Emerging Vision andComprehensive Plan with Ethnic Churches and Ministries.” She encouraged the ongoingwork with Minneapolis Native American Ministries, Ethnic Minorities ConcernsCommittee, and the new Hispanic Ministry Plan.
Cleone is a servant-leader who is grounded in her vision of mission and its centralimportance in the life of the Church. She is a woman of great integrity who findsthe courage to share her convictions. She is deeply enthusiastic about her work, ajoy to be around, and a loyal colleague in service to the church she loves. Cleonewould often raise the issues of fairness, justice, and equality. She is known and hascaused the work of our Conference to be known across the seas, in the offices of theGeneral Board in New York, at 122 West Franklin, and most importantly within thecongregations of our Annual Conference. It is true that during her watch, Cleonemoved our sense and commitment to missions to a higher plain.
We also wish to honor the work of the following mission projects that continuealthough they no longer receive grant money from our Annual Conference: TheFargo-Moorhead Hospital Chaplaincy, Emma Norton Residency, Central HillsideUnited Ministry in Duluth, Mounds Park UMC in St. Paul, and the St. PaulDepartment of Indian Work.
213
A very special word of appreciation and honor goes to the Rochester-Mayo MedicalCenter Chaplaincy for all of its faithful service provided to so many from so far overso long a period of time! This ministry has been one of the outstanding missionprojects of our Annual Conference. To all who have been involved over the years,well-done good and faithful servants – we truly appreciate you!
Dennis Alexander, Chairperson
BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAMPUS MINISTRY
This has been a difficult year for the Board of Higher Education and CampusMinistry. The conference apportionment income from the local churches laggedand many areas of the common work of the Annual Conference became stressed.Higher Education was an area which had all of its programs eliminated to helpmake up the deficit.
CAMPUS MINISTRY has been done since 1970 with ecumenical partners on ourlargest state of Minnesota University campuses. We have worked with UnitedPresbyterian, United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ (Christian), andMoravian churches in this state to bring the gospel to many young persons in thesestate schools. Many lives have been touched, persons helped, and peopleencouraged to enter full-time work in the United Methodist Church. At fallorientation at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, the largest group ofpersons in their late teens and early twenties who asked for the address of theirchurch or its representative were United Methodist students (more asked thanLutherans or Catholics!). One of the casualties of our lack of funding and neworganization is that there will be no official ministry of our conference on anycampus to be present to what has been termed “Generation X”. We also have hadthe very difficult task of informing our ecumenical partners that we are not able tofinancially support the work after this June and have had to ask if they will care forour students. Work will continue in a very small scale as persons have time tovolunteer. Each local church is encouraged to see how it can do ministry to personson campus in their community.
214
HAMLINE UNIVERSITY has been a part of our Conference even beforeMinnesota was a state. It has produced enormous numbers of ordained anddiaconal ministers, and a wonderful cadre of trained United Methodists. It hascontinued its history in parallel with that of the conference. We support Hamline asa conference only by the special asking as the conference has eliminated othersupport from the apportionment budget. Be sure that you support this four-yearliberal arts school and its law school. Gretchen Fogo is the person to contact atHamline for more information.
BLACK COLLEGE FUND has supported our United Methodist Black colleges inthe south since the time of the civil war. We have contributed to our country and ourchurch thousands of educated men and women who would not have otherwise beenable to gain this schooling. Each college and professional school has a major self-help portion to gain education. You have heard speakers each year at AnnualConference who have come from these student bodies to tell you of this work.
SCHOLARSHIPS have been given. Our conference gave about $4,200 in theSTUDENT DAY offering. 10% of this becomes the Merit Scholarship for ourconference. This year the $400 award is to Marcia Alexander, member of EpworthUnited Methodist Church Minneapolis and student at Hamline. We also were giventwo FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS by the national United Methodist Churchto award. The $1,000 scholarships went to Kris Van Nurden, member of OwatonnaUnited Methodist Church and student at Dakota Wesleyan University, and toKristopher Fredson, member of Northwood United Methodist Church of Esko, andstudent at Hamline.
The United Methodist Church has always had a history of deep involvement inhigher education. It is our hope that ministry to places of higher education willoccur in many places and with the help of many hands. We also hope that ourconference will again actively take part in the work of reaching persons young andold as they wrestle with issues of faith and knowledge.

TASK FORCE ON HOUSING ALLOWANCEAND PASTORAL APPOINTMENT
Membership: Darleen Meyer, chair (real estate); Roger Parks, secretary (BOM);Janice Gibson (CFA); Ronald Snyder (trustees); Gerrit Molenaar (cabinet)
The task force met four times during 1995 and early 1996. The task force, realizingthat there have been issues surrounding fair process, and that there are those whohave either made or lost money in the transactions surrounding the purchase and/or sale of housing, and that these issues have caused, at times, considerable painand hardship to individuals, makes the following recommendations that addressmost of the issues raised by the ‘WHEREAS’ and the ‘THEREFORE’ clauses ofItem Number 5003, pg. 160ff, in the 1993 Official Journal and Yearbook of theMinnesota Annual Conference.
1. A Task Force of 3-4 persons be appointed by Bishop Christopher to prepare aproposal for the 1997 Annual Conference which includes procedures for theadoption of a Housing Allowance Agreement by a local congregation.
2. The Task Force would continue the work of the present Task Force on HousingAllowance and Pastoral Appointment.
3. Further, the proposed Procedures for Adoption of a Housing AllowanceAgreement shall include provision for the approval of each HousingAllowance to be used in establishing the Housing Allowance and provision forannual review of the Housing Allowance Agreement by the localcongregation.
4. Further, the flow chart on the next page will serve as an outline of theprocedures this Task Force will develop in establishing the HousingAllowance Agreement, in communicating that Agreement to a newlyappointed pastor and in establishing the final conditions of the Agreement.

INTERIM COUNCIL
The Interim Council met approximately five times in the past year. The bulk of ourefforts focused around three things:1. Much work was done by the Interim Council in conjunction with CFA for the
special session last November regarding the budget. We worked ondeveloping and refining the guidelines for the budgeting process as well asparticipate in the budget development last October with a number of otherconference leaders.
2. We assigned a special task force to put the details on the staffing proposal thatwas brought to last year’s Annual Conference session. This group was alsoassigned the task of paying attention to the racial-ethnic legislation that waspassed last year. This team has fine-tuned a document that will be presentedto us this year.
3. We have been coordinating a number of other short-term groups focusedaround the mission- vision of our Annual Conference. Teams were developedaround the issues of restructuring, financial resources, lay leadership,engaging in corporate mission, and communications. Some of these teamswill be presenting proposals to this Annual Conference . . . some will still beworking. The whole point of these various work groups is to align ourprocesses with the stated vision of the Annual Conference.
A personal note: My three years on the Interim Council is up. I thank my colleaguesfor voting to have me serve. It has been an honor and privilege.
David E. Brown, Vice-Chair
STAFFING AND REORGANIZATION OF STRUCTUREOF THE MN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
In August of 1994, Bishop Sharon Brown Christopher met with a group of tenpersons to introduce a proposal that this group “assess our current annualconference staffing patterns in light of our vision and mission and offer suggestionsas to how our staffing may be brought into alignment with our vision and ourmission.”
218
The persons selected for the task by the Interim Council were: Jean Dowell, CharlesDundas, Kathi Austin Mahle, William Meier, Bret Rinehart, Wane Souhrada,Gloria Thomas, Pat Toschak, Aileen Williams, and Dorothy Williams. BishopChristopher, except during her renewal leave, was present at all meetings.
After presentation and approval by the Interim Council, the Staffing Task Forcereport waspresented to the Annual Conference, June, 1995. It stated:
We United Methodists in the Minnesota Annual Conference are God’spartners in the business of transformation. Our mission is to develop the faithof a missionary force of Christians so that God’s transforming power isreleased and active throughout creation. The core process of the AnnualConference is to identify, train, support, and appoint ordained, diaconal, andlicensed spiritual leaders to join those spiritual leaders already residing incongregations, forming a partnership of leaders who raise up and send outfaithful disciples to transform the world.

219
The Staffing Task Force outlined the shifts needed in staffing in order to align thework of the Conference to its mission and vision.The report included indication ofthe change sought in the proposal by contrasting the shift from the way the AnnualConference was staffed to how it would be staffed under the proposal.
From To
Staffing based on the unit served and the Staffing based on serving the wholeneeds of that unit conference system, aligned with the
core process
Short term planning on staffing, Long term planning on staffing,responding to needs identified identifying needs across functions andwithin the unit units, and considering how to integrate
functions
Focus on positions Focus on functions which will lead todesired outcomes, employing consult-ants for some specific outcomes
Variation on personnel matters Formation of a central personnel groupwhich are difficult to address across to reduce variation in personnelunits. policies
Services (training, short-term Better stewardship of the large pool ofconsultation and other resources) gifts and skills existing among laityprovided tocongregations largely and clergyacross the conference toby DS and other conference staff provide resources for local congrega-

of the system
A variety of ways of assessing Across-unit assessment tools to assesseffectiveness of particular how the conference activities alignstaff positions with conference processes
220
The report included:Recommendation #1 - The Staffing Task Force recommends that the conferencestaff be reconfigured so as to be aligned with three conference processes:
Forming (calling, educating, credentialing, training, supporting, and appointing)ordained, consecrated and licensed spiritual leaders [Core Process]
Empowering the people of God for ministry, which includes (but is not limited to)Identifying and employing gifts Forming Christian disciplesTraining for connectional leadership Promoting financial health
Engaging in corporate mission to meet human need, which includes (but is notlimited to)
Building relationships among diverse people Seeking justiceEncouraging compassionate action Creating global awareness
The conference staff, when so reconfigured, would be led by five persons holdingthe positions of:
• Steward of Appointed Leadership Formation• Steward of Disciple Empowerment• Steward of Mission Engagement• Steward of Communication• Steward of Administration and Finance
These five stewards would join the Bishop, Cabinet, & Conference Lay Leaderas the Leadership Team.

PROPOSAL ACCEPTED IN PRINCIPLEThe Annual Conference Session, June, 1995, accepted the staffing proposal inprinciple, with several resolutions which were sent to Interim Councilrequesting additional information to be brought back to the June 1996 AnnualConference.
These resolutions are recorded in the 1995 Journal, pp. 31-35.
The Interim Council appointed a task group to develop the information requestedin the resolutions. Persons serving on this group were:
Victoria Ashley, Charles Dundas, Kathi Austin Mahle, Kathy Rainey, Pat Toschakand Aileen Williams.
The report of this group was further developed and accepted by the InterimCouncil. The Council requested that the position descriptions be presented to anInterim Personnel Committee made up of representatives from the original StaffingTask Force, representatives of board and council personnel committees, and theLay Personnel Committee for further refinement.
Persons who met to do this work were: Victoria Ashley, Audrey Benjamin, BishopSharon Brown Christopher, Kim Embretson, Jean Dowell, Duane Gebhard, AllenClark Harris, William Mate, William Meier, Kathy Rainey, Dorothy Williams,Aileen Williams and Michael Wuehler.
The Interim Council in reviewing the Staffing Task Force resolution proposesusing the name Team of Stewards rather than Leadership Team.
THE TEAM OF STEWARDS*People who are appointed or employed leaders in the church are called to live andlead as serving leaders. The intent of such spiritual leadership is to facilitate thechurch’s fulfillment of God’s will articulated in the church’s vision and mission.
The Bishop and district superintendents are charged by the General Conferenceto carry primary responsibility for ordering the life of the church.
“It is their task to enable the gathered Church to worship and to evangelize faith-fully. It is also their task to facilitate the initiation of structures and strategies forthe equipping of Christian people for service...and to extend the service in mis-sion. It is their task, as well, to see that all matters, temporal and spiritual, are
222
administered in a manner which acknowledges the ways and the insights of theworld critically and with understanding while remaining cognizant of and faithfulto the mandate of the Church.” (p. 269, The United Methodist Discipline, 1992)
In other words, they are the designated “stewards of the whole,” overseeing thetotal life of the conference and leading the conference, its congregations andpastors, in the actualizing of its vision and the fulfillment of its mission.
To ensure the parts and processes of the whole working in partnership toward thecommon aim of the conference, the Team of Stewards of the Annual Conference,comprised of the Bishop and Cabinet (Stewards of the Whole) and the Stewards ofAppointed Leadership Formation, Disciple Empowerment, Mission Engagement,Communication, and Administration and Finance, and the Lay Leader will workcooperatively. They will coordinate and integrate the Annual Conferenceprocesses, identifying process constraints, recommending redesign andimprovement as well as aligning the processes with the conference vision andmission so that the whole system functions effectively as one entity.
This team will meet as often as they determine is required to carry out this task. Themembers shall be supportive of and accountable to each other. The convener ofTeam of Stewards will be chosen by the team.
As long as The Book of Discipline assigns the role of oversight to the office of thebishop extending through the district superintendents, the Bishop and Cabinet willbe the team of stewards of the whole of the Annual Conference, fulfilling theresponsibilities listed above as well as other oversight responsibilities. The intentof this recommendation is to expand the oversight function as it relates to theannual conference processes to include the lay leader and the Annual Conferencestaff designated as the stewards of Annual Conferences processes.
The phrase “Team of Stewards” has been chosen carefully to replace the phrase“Leadership Team” that has been used to describe part of the leadership function ofthe annual conference. The word “steward” is derived from our Christian tradition,signifying those who are responsible for the faithful use of the gifts God hasentrusted to us. John Wesley used stewards to give oversight to his classes. It is alsoa word that is finding favor today in many organizations. It is being used to describeone who is willing to be accountable for the well-being of the whole organization byoperating in service, rather than in control, of those around them.

Conference Personnel Committee
In the report to Annual Conference in June of 1995 the Staffing Task Forcepresented the following recommendation:Recommendation #2 - The Staffing Task Force recommends the creation of aConference Personnel Committee whose function shall be the oversight of allconference staff.
The committee shall offer continuity between unit personnel committees regardingsalary ranges, policy, and personnel concerns. The committee shall giveconsideration to achieving equity in all matters for all conference staff.
The committee shall be composed of five at-large persons, one of whom shall bethe chair, and representatives of the personnel committees of all units of the annualconference, and shall replace the existing Committee on Lay Personnel Review.
All budgetary requests shall be submitted to the Council on Finance andAdministration through the Conference Personnel Committee, and hence identifiedin one location of the annual conference budget.
This committee shall be identified under Section B of the Conference Structure inthe proper sequence (see p. 354 in the 1994 Conference Journal).
Rationale: At the present time each unit of the conference functionsindependently in personnel matters. There is little consideration for cross-functional relationships. A conference personnel committee would deal withpersonnel issues comprehensively, resulting in greater equity, higher morale, andbetter stewardship of human resources.
Interim Council proposes that this Committee be elected at Annual Conference,1996, for a four year term composed as previously recommended: five persons at-large, one of whom shall be the chair, and representatives of the personnelcommittees of all units of the Annual Conference. This Committee shall replace theexisting Committee on Lay Personnel Review.
It is the Conference Personnel Committee which will be responsible for posting,interviewing and filling the five Steward positions following Annual Conference inJune with the Stewards beginning work January 2, 1997.
From June to January, 1997, the Conference Personnel Committee will consult,review and align all other conference staff positions to the Conference Vision andMission, the five processes and the budget.
224

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: YES# DIRECTLY: TO BE DETERMINEDFULL TIME PART TIME
Description Written by Interim Council Subcommittee 2/96
COST PROJECTIONThe Interim Council proposes that the salary of the five stewards be equivalent tothat of a district superintendent. Benefits for the stewards will be equitable at 35%of their salary.
Salary $45,000Benefits 15,750
Total per steward: $60,750
The benefits will be offered “cafeteria style” so that an individual steward maydetermine the application of benefits. The 35% could include Medical Insurance,Pension, FICA, Housing Allowance, and any other choices of benefits.
The Interim Council further proposes that: The total personnel budget of theMinnesota Annual Conference for 1997 will not excede the amount budgeted forall conference personnel in 1996, plus any cost of living increase in 1997, with theaddition of six months salary for the Director of Transition from January, 1997 toJuly, 1997.
The Conference Personnel Committee will be responsible for interviewing andconferring with all Conference personnel and units to bring alignment of salariesand benefits to meet the total expenditure for personnel in 1997.
238
DISCIPLINE REQUIREMENTS
The only requirements for conference personnel in the 1992 Discipline are forcouncil director and conference treasurer. There are several proposals to the April,1996 General Conference which call for flexibility in the organization andstructure of Annual Conferences, including the Connectional Issues Study from theGeneral Council on Ministries. It is believed that General Conference will respondto the need for greater flexibility and the proposals for change in the MinnesotaAnnual Conference will be in line with the General Conference resolutions.
In this proposal, the functions of council director will be moved into the Team ofStewards and a treasurer will function within the process of Administration andFinancial Resources.
It is proposed by June, 1997, the reorganization of the Conference will have movedfunctions from the old structure into a new networking organization(Refer to pp. 239-240.)
A PLAN FOR REORGANIZATION
Interim Council appointed a Networking Team to determine the relationship ofstaff to restructuring plan. The team included the following persons: David Bard,David Brown, John Conklin, Elliot George, Pat Hinker, Jane Souhrada, HughStephenson, and Dorothy Williams.
Through its work the Networking Team presented to Interim Council three designsof the Annual Conference (refer to Appendix pp. 243-245). After reviewing thedesigns, the Interim Council determined that although the designs incorporate theunderstandings a new structure must embody, it was too early for the AnnualConference to choose a design.
The Interim Council, therefore, proposes that: At the June, 1996 AnnualConference Session, no elected positions vacated will be filled by the ConferenceNominating Committee.
Those persons continuing terms will serve in present positions until, June, 1997.Units may call on persons for help in accomplishing work that is to be done.
239
At the June, 1996, Annual Conference Session, a working group of ten persons foreach of the five processes will be elected. These teams will begin work of makingthe transition of functions from the old structure to the new, and joined by the Teamof Stewards will bring a design for organization of the Annual Conference to theJune, 1997 session for approval.
The persons on these teams will be nominated by the Nominating Committee andelected at the June, 1996 session, to do the work of designing the network of the fiveprocesses.
To further assist the transition, it is recommended that the present council directorcontinue between January 1 and July 1, 1997, to serve the conference as Director ofTransition.
The following Time Line illustrates this year of transition:
240
timeline here
241
EVALUATIONThe Interim Council proposes to build into the processes a way to determine resultswhich can be reviewed by the Annual Conference, the Team of Stewards, and theConference Personnel Committee.
The Council, therefore, recommends that in the networking plan, a minimum ofthree measures of the process be determined for each of the Steward’s functions.(See Function/Responsibilities in Position Descriptions pp. 224-237.) Thesemeasurements will evaluate the outcomes of the process not the individualSteward.
RACIAL/ETHNIC STAFFThe resolutions (1995 Journal, pp.34-35) concern identifying a position for aracial/ethnic person to give leadership to “An Emerging and Comprehensive Planfor Ethnic Churches and Ministries.” These resolutions were reviewed by theInterim Council in relation to the staffing proposal.
The Interim Council believes great benefit will come to the Conference bydiversity being an integral part of the staffing and reorganization design. It isaware, however, that the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act of1964, amended in 1992, indicate that it is inappropriate to post any position forparticular racial/ethnic applicants.
To convey the results needed, the words “demonstrated ability to relate and workwith persons of all racial/ethnic backgrounds” is included in the qualifications ofeach Steward position. In addition the Steward of Mission Engagement isspecifically responsible to racial/ethnic constituencies and is to work to bring theresults for which the Comprehensive Plan calls.
It is further recommended to the Conference Personnel Committee that alladvertisements for the Stewards positions include these words: We are an equalopportunity employer and are actively seeking a diverse mix of qualifiedcandidates for this position.
DIRECTOR OF CAMPING AND RETREAT MINISTRIES
To clarify the position of Director of Camping and Retreat Ministries in relation tothe new staffing proposal, the Interim Council would substitute the following forthe information in the Staffing Task Force report presented in June, 1995.
242
The camping and retreat ministries of the Annual Conference and local churchesserve the mission of inviting, forming and sending forth Christian disciples to be inministry. We strongly affirm these ministries as effective and necessary, along withthe need for a staff person to direct and resource them. We believe that the futureform of the ministry and staff position need to be based on careful consideration ofthese ministries and their alignment with the core process of the Annual Conference.
Therefore, we recommend the following: That the position of Director of Campingand Retreat Ministries be continued, utilizing the present sources of funding andthe position description, for a minimum of two years, following theimplementation of the new staffing model for the Annual Conference.
That during the two years of continuance the Director be related to the Steward ofEmpowerment for reporting and professional support. That after two years, theConference Personnel Committee and the Board of Camps and Conferencesevaluate the position and ministries and recommend to the Annual Conference thebasis and form for their continuance and the Director’s relationship to the staff andstructure.

CONFERENCE BOARD OF PENSION AND HEALTH BENEFITS
The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits is responsible for certainbenefits for eligible ministerial members who are currently serving or who haveserved the Conference. That responsibility is in the areas of 1) pensions; 2)protection in case of death or disability; and 3) health insurance.
1) PENSION: The Conference has made great progress in recent years towardsatisfying its past service pension liability for pre-1982 years of service. This is dueto the “sooner is cheaper” philosophy adopted in 1985. Being able to pay “sooner”is the result of gifts, apportionments, Pension Campaigns and continuing supportof Pension Partners. Actuarial gains based on the participant statistics or specialdistributions of the interest on the investment portfolio over and above the assumedinterest rates at the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits further decreasedthe unfunded liability. The following chart illustrates the progress made since1982.

The Commission met several times with the Ethnic Minority Concerns Committee.A great deal of time has been spent this year on updating our comprehensive planfor ethnic minority churches, which was approved at the 1995 Annual Conferencesession.
In 1995 we actively assisted ethnic churches through the promotion of the ethnicminority self-determination fund. Our commission has also taken an active role ineducating persons about the effects of racism and in helping to educate about andpromote racial diversity. Information on CORR and combating racism has beenmade available at a table provided by our commission at Annual Conference. Wehave taken seriously our role as advocates for racial justice.

D. REPORTS FROM INSTITUTIONS
CANDLER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
Candler School of Theology of Emory University is committed to preparingeffective and dynamic leadership for the United Methodist Church. It seeks to dothis by maintaining close ties with clergy and laity. Based on conversations withthese constituent groups, the Candler faculty has reviewed and revised its degreecurriculum to assure a solid biblical foundation and strong preaching backgroundfor its graduates. Required one-year Old and New Testament interpretation classestaught by Candler’s internationally recognized Bible faculty and a foundationalclass on the basics of vital preaching will prepare students for a lifetime of study inthese two important disciplines.
Candler faculty stay abreast of concerns of local church members throughpreaching, teaching, and leading workshops for churches and conferences. During1995-96 Candler faculty traveled to 25 states to participate in lay theologyacademies, pastors’ schools, Christian educators’ fellowships, revivals, laityretreats, and other church events. Through the recently instituted Avary Programin Church Leadership, customized workshops will be presented by Candler free ofcharge to churches, districts, and annual conferences interested in revitalizingclergy and lay leadership.
The educational program available at Candler has been strengthened this year bythe addition of three new faculty members. Dr. Nancy Eiesland, a Candler andEmory University graduate, teaches in the area of sociology of religion. One of herspecialties is the study of how congregations respond to community change. Dr.Timothy Jackson teachers in the area of Christian ethics. He will also offer coursesin medical ethics, using insights he has gleaned from his service on the ethics boardof a denominationally affiliated retirement home. Dr. Neal Walls, an OldTestament professor, is interested in the religious traditions of ancient Israel,especially as a context for understanding Hebrew texts found in the Old Testament.
As the largest of the thirteen official United Methodist seminaries, Candler islooking toward the future of the church as it prepares students for faithful andcreative ministries. The school recently received a $3.3 million grant from ThePew Charitable Trust to support a program to develop Hispanic religiousleadership by promoting Hispanic participation in theological education.Candler’s administration of this program will help prepare persons to proclaim theGospel in an increasingly diverse church.
262
Just as Candler seeks to support local churches, the seminary continues to benefitfrom the support of local churches for theological education. Through theMinisterial Education Fund (MEF), as well as the generosity of faithful individuals.We are grateful for these gifts and for the prayers of the conference for our students,faculty and staff. We give thanks for the partnership Candler has with thisconference in preparing future leaders of the church.

GARRETT-EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY“Sustaining and Enhancing a Seminary”
What does it take to be a seminary professor? Garrett-Evangelical is facing thisissue squarely as it searches for new faculty to replace a number of senior facultywho are retiring. We expect to have named six new faculty members by the end ofthe current academic year.
Before embarking on these searches, the faculty developed a list of qualifications.They, of course, included academic leadership and effectiveness as a teacher.However, the faculty assigned equal importance to the authentic faith of the
264
professor, his/her interest in and concern for the church, and the ability and interestof the applicant in serving as a fellow pilgrim with the student in fostering spiritualgrowth.
The faculty aims to identify new faculty members with the minds and spirits ofbelievers, as well as persons who are seasoned academic and intellectual leaders.This is consistent with our understanding of theological education as a ventureaimed at coming to know God truly and helping others to know God throughleadership in the church.
Our enrollment during the year continued with 526 students in all programs. The213 MDiv. candidates represented our highest enrollment in that program for morethan ten years.
We are grateful for the solid financial support of graduates and friends of theseminary and from the Ministerial Education Fund of the denomination. A recordnumber of 3,522 donors contributed financially to the seminary. These donorsincluded 48% of our more than 5,000 living graduates, a percentage that was oneof the highest of any seminary in the nation.
On October 17-19, 1996, we will conduct an event called “Inquiring Spirit/Inquiring Mind” for any man or woman who is considering a call into some formof Christian ministry. This event offers an opportunity to reflect upon that call inthe company of other persons who are dealing with their calling, and it offers thecounsel of pastors, diaconal ministers, seminary professors, and others. Forinformation, call 847/866-3945 or toll-free at 1/800-SEMINARY.

HAMLINE UNIVERSITY
Life at Hamline University this year has been challenging and rewarding as wecontinue to discuss and refine our vision of what a “new American university”should be. Our vision is based on our heritage of nearly 150 years, and our mission,which is to prepare people for lives of leadership and service to their society and theworld.
These discussions are taking place in an intellectually and economically vitalinstitution. In an era when many colleges and universities are experiencingdeclines in enrollment, Hamline University continues healthy growth in its three
265
schools: the College of Liberal Arts, School of Law, and Graduate School. Thenumber of first-year students who are Methodist significantly increased this year.We are thankful for the many congregations who encourage young people topursue their educations at Hamline, the United Methodist university of the UpperMidwest.
Undoubtedly the most compelling event of the 1994-95 academic year was thededication in May of a statue of Methodist Bishop Leonidas Hamline, thebenefactor who, in 1854, enabled other Methodist pioneers to achieve their visionof a new American university to serve the people on the frontier. We are gratefulfor the gift of Annette Scherer Robbins, an active United Methodist and HamlineUniversity graduate, who commissioned the work from Hamline Art ProfessorMichael Price, a nationally renowned sculptor whose work explores religiousthemes. The statue, surrounded by an attractive seating area in the heart of thecampus, is a daily reminder of our United Methodist heritage and ongoingrelationship. It is dedicated to all those who “have made possible the means andfacilities of education” to our students, including the United Methodist churcheswhose gifts through the Asking have helped us achieve our goals. We are gratefulfor this special support.
With the retirement in spring 1996 of Donovan Hull, University chaplain andprofessor of religion in the College for 27 years, I have appointed a task force tostudy the role of the chaplaincy at Hamline University. This position is veryimportant in our life and tradition, and I look forward to the recommendations ofReverend Patricia Hinker, trustee and chair of the Board of Trustee’s UniversityLife Committee, and the other task force members.
I am proud that Hamline has become a primary Twin Cities forum for addressingissues of peace, ethics, community, and social justice in our world. A uniquecollaboration with Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, StradivariusProductions and the Ramsey County Initiative for Violence-Free Families andCommunities resulted in the musical “Violence—What Can a Person Do?”presented at Hamline. Followup discussions offered the opportunity for thediverse and lively audiences to reflect on the issues presented.
Scheduled talks for our 1995-96 Hamline University Lectures, among others,include Dr. Deborah Prothrow-Stith on “Stopping the Violence,” the Seminar inContemporary Religious Thought’s “God-Talk in a Polarized Society” with Dr.Douglas Meeks; a law, religion and ethics symposium on “Women and Men,Human Rights and Spirituality,” and Founders Day speaker Tex Sample on“Reclaiming Tradition in an Age of Diversity.” Each year we also offer events
266
especially for United Methodists, including confirmation tours, theatre events, andthe School of Christian Mission. Rev. Gretchen Fogo, director of church relations,has been a thoughtful and energetic United Methodist representative, and our liveshave been enriched by her presence and hard work in all these areas.
We are pleased to offer Hamline University facilities as a resource to these andother groups, and issue a special invitation to United Methodists to “stop by” for anevent, or simply to enjoy the Bishop Hamline statue, the new Sundin rose garden,and the rest of our beautiful campus. You are always welcome.

THE ILIFF SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
For more than a century, The Iliff School of Theology has sought to be faithful tothe gospel of Jesus Christ and to provide theological education to persons preparingfor ministry. As a United Methodist seminary, Iliff is committed to serving thechurch as it seeks to be in mission and ministry in the world. Many positivedevelopments can be noted at Iliff during the past year. We have been engaged ina major $6 million comprehensive campaign to strengthen the School for futureservice. The targets for fund-raising have included raising money for scholarships,urban ministry, rural ministry, faculty development, and a new education center.
268
A ground-breaking ceremony for the new education center was held on May 1,1996. Stimulating the campaign has been a $500,000 challenge grant from theKresge Foundation. This new building will provide expanded facilities for ourlibrary, administrative office space, and new classrooms.
Enrollment has climbed significantly the past year. Of particular note has been theestablishment of the Anglican Studies Program at Iliff. During the past year theonly Roman Catholic Seminary in the Rocky Mountain Region, St. ThomasTheological School, closed after 86 years of service.

E. DECISION OF LAW
RE: QUESTIONS ASKED BY PETER F. MILLOYABOUT THE SURRENDER OF CREDENTIALS OF JAMES BEYER
THE QUESTIONS OF LAW
(1) Is it permissible under The 1992 Book of Discipline for a supervisory responsemeeting pursuant to ¶454.1a to take place with less than twenty days notice to therespondent?
By the content of Question #2, the “supervisory response meeting” referred to inthis question could only be the meeting in which the signed, written grievance wasread and given to the pastor by his district superintendent and bishop. The purposeof the meeting was to share the written grievance with the pastor and communicateto him the disciplinary grievance process.
The 1992 Book of Discipline does not define the supervisory process. Rather, theplan of supervision of an Annual Conference is placed in the hands of the bishop bythe constitution of the church (¶51) and in the hands of the district superintendents,extensions of the episcopal office, by the Discipline (¶520.2).
Consequently, The 1992 Book of Discipline does not dictate a procedure fornotifying a pastor of a grievance filed against him/her. In keeping with the pastoringand supervising responsibilities of the bishop and district superintendent, theMinnesota Cabinet presents grievances and explanations of the disciplinary processin person rather than by mail. The one against whom a grievance is brought hasopportunity to be accompanied by another person to this meeting of notification. Itis an action that occurs in the midst of the supervisory response. In this meeting thepastor is informed of the method of making or not making a response to thegrievance.
The meeting with James Beyer was not a hearing. It assumed the innocence of thepastor. It sought clarification of the issues stated in the grievance so thatreconciliation and justice might be sought in the supervisory process. It occurredprior to the forming and sending of the grievance as a complaint to the Board ofOrdained Ministry. (The Administrative and Judicial Procedures Manual [FirstEdition- 1995] indicates that “the fair process principles of ¶2622 are meant to beapplicable both to the procedures outlined in the 2600 paragraphs as well as thoseproceeding which occur after the matter has been referred on as a complaint.”)
273
The sharing of the written grievance in this particular case was preceded by severalsupervisory conversations and meetings with the pastor that were focused on thebehavior named in the written grievance. These conversations took place primarilyin the five-month period prior to the receipt of the written grievance. The sharing ofthe written grievance was only one part of a larger supervisory process.
THE RULINGThe meeting in question occurred during the supervisory process that preceded thefiling of a complaint. The 1992 Book of Discipline places the definition of thesupervisory process in the hands of the bishop and district superintendents. It doesnot prohibit the presentation of a written grievance against a pastor in person.Neither does The 1992 Book of Discipline require a written grievance to bepresented to a pastor by mail. Further, to notify a pastor that a written grievance hasbeen filed against him/her but the content cannot be provided until a meeting twentydays hence, is not good supervisory practice. Neither is the delivery of a grievanceby an impersonal mail system a good supervisory process. Therefore, the meetingwas in order by disciplinary standards.
(2) May such a meeting take place without the respondent having seen thegrievance prior to the meeting?
THE RULINGIt is impossible to present a written grievance to a pastor prior to a meeting that hasas its intent the presentation of a written grievance to a pastor.
(3) Is it permissible under The 1992 Book of Discipline for the Joint ReviewCommittee to interview the respondent in the absence of the grievant, and vice-versa?
THE RULINGThe pastor in this circumstance surrendered his credentials prior to a scheduledmeeting of The Joint Review Committee that had as its purpose the interviewing ofthe grievant and the respondent. Consequently, the Joint Review Committee did notmeet and could not have interviewed the respondent in the absence of the grievantor vice-versa. This question is hypothetical in nature and therefore moot. (cf.Judicial Council Decision #33)
274
(4) May the Joint Review Committee consider supporting materials which have notbeen made available to the respondent?
THE RULINGThe Joint Review Committee may consider materials that come to it through theprocess outlined in ¶454.c of The 1992 Book of Discipline as it has been amendedby the interpretation of the Judicial Council.
In this particular case, the chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry had sent to boththe respondent and the chair of the Joint Review Committee the same material. TheJoint Review Committee did not meet to consider the complaint against the pastor.Consequently, it could not have considered any supporting material which had notbeen made available to the respondent. This question is hypothetical in nature andtherefore moot. (cf. Judicial Council Decision #33)
(5) If church law was violated in any or all of the above ways during the processleading up to the withdrawal of the Rev. James Beyer, is his withdrawal valid?
THE RULINGSince the above rulings indicate that the procedure fit within the rules of The 1992Book of Discipline and no church law had been violated, this question has norelationship to the particular circumstances at hand. It becomes hypothetical.
A withdrawal during the disciplinary disposition of a grievance or complaint, unlessshown to be coerced, must be considered to be valid.
When there is no evidence of coercion, actions taken by a clergy to stop the processare at the discretion of the clergy. During the process, matters of procedure are opento question at each step of that process. If no questions have been presented to theproper person or group, in the above case to the Committee on Joint Review, thereis no reason to assume that the withdrawal is based upon those considerations. Inthis circumstance the pastor had the content of the complaint and the process of thechurch before him for several months prior to his voluntary surrender of credentials.He could not have known more at a later time than he already knew at the time of hissurrender of credentials.
275
To allow a pastor to withdraw under complaint and then later to question proceduresdirectly to the Judicial Council, removes from the Annual Conference anopportunity for timely response. Further, it violates the basic constitutional right ofthe Annual Conference (¶36) to decide on all matters relating to the character andconference relations of its ministerial members and to consider the matter on themerits of the complaint. Such action leaves the Annual Conference no way to dealdirectly with the issues of procedure legally given to it in The Book of Discipline.

VII. MEMOIRS
GERALD RICHARD MORGANNovember 26, 1901 – June 20, 1995
The Rev. Gerald Richard Morgan was born November 26,1901 to John W. and Martha Morgan. Followinggraduation from the high school in Tracy, Minnesota, heattended Moody Bible Institute, St. Olaf College andGarrett Theological Seminary. He married Paula onApril 24, 1926. During his ministry Gerald served thefollowing churches: Elysian/Madison Lake and Stanton/Randolph/Oxford; Platville, in the Illinois Conference;Dundas/Little Prairie; Lake Benton/Ivanhoe/Hendricks;
Morton/Franklin; Lafayette/Winthrop — all in the Minnesota Conference; twoyears as a Chaplain in the Army during World War II (at which time his wife servedas Lay Pastor of Lafayette and Winthrop); Walnut Grove/Holly; Milaca/Onamia;Arlington and McGregor/Fleming/Palisade.
Gerald was a gardener; he could make anything grow! The flowers in his gardenoften ended up on the church altar, a part of his Sunday morning “getting ready forchurch” ritual. However, the Arizona climate was an unnerving challenge to hisgardening skills. He was a painter of peaceful country scenes and woodlands,presenting many couples he married with these special pictures, prized not for theart, but cherished because of the artist. In later years rug braiding from discardedfabric scraps became a substitute for painting as his eyesight faded.
Family and the genealogy of his Welsh heritage were another consuming passion.He loved to brag about being Welsh, sometimes, perhaps, just to annoy his wife, astaunch German. One of the highlights of his life was being able to see the oldfarmstead in Wales in 1985. And the FAMILY! Every new great-grandchild washis special pride and joy.
As Gerald neared his heavenly home, he developed a fervor for sharing his love ofChrist. How concerned he was that people knew the Lord. He prayed diligently forthis, his strongest desire, as his journal reveals. Reaching out to others, in Christ’sname was special to him.
277

STANLEY VINCENT PROPPOctober 16, 1926 – August 1, 1995
The Rev. Stanley Vincent Propp was born on October16, 1926 in Wheaton, Minnesota, to Edwin A. and EmmaV. (Nelson) Propp. He grew up on the family farm inrural Wheaton, attended country schools, and graduatedhigh school from the Morris Agricultural School. Hewent on to attend summer classes at Valley City StateTeachers College and in 1950, received his BA degreefrom Westmar College in LeMars, Iowa. He then taughtschool for two years. On June 8, 1951 he married Lois
L. Schlender and they made their home in Naperville, Illinois. After receiving a callto the ministry, he attended Evangelical Theological Seminary in Naperville,graduating in 1953.
During his pastorate, Stanley served four charges: Waterville/Morristown/Cannonville; Olivia/Osceola; Olivia/Bird Island/Osceola; Lake Crystal/Madelia,and Wadena.
280
Stanley was on the original committee that organized the first “Autumn Gatheringfor Older Adults” in the fall of 1966, which still continues to meet the weekend afterLabor Day at Lake Koronis Assembly Grounds near Paynesville, and continued hisleadership of the camp until his death. One of Stanley’s passions was to make allclergy moving into a community feel welcome. No matter what theirdenomination, he would call on them and bid them welcome. Often a meal wasoffered at his house to get them away from the packing boxes. Pastors of hisdenomination could expect a phone call on Saturday evening before their firstSunday service, assuring them of his thoughts and prayers for them in their newministry.
One of Stanley’s unique talents was his ability to make people leave church feelingas if they learned something; this came from his love of history. He could alsopreach from the same notes but deliver three different sermons, particularly in histhree-point charge, matching the sermon to the people in each church. If you askedhim what event or thing in his life was his greatest achievement or gave him themost satisfaction, he perhaps would say the time his name was drawn asConference Preacher. After a full year of wondering what to say and how it wouldgo, he couldn’t believe the response of the Conference and the acclaim he received.For years after, he was still receiving comments about it — even about the detailsand specifics of the sermon. He considered it a highlight of his preaching career.
Following his retirement in 1990, he and Lois moved to Willmar where hecontinued to enjoy square dancing and gardening. He was a Pastor Emeritus of theWillmar United Methodist Church, and also substituted in area churches.
Stanley Propp died unexpectedly on Tuesday August 1, 1995 in Willmar,Minnesota.

Propp of Rochelle, Illinois and Mrs. Matthew Dick (Melissa B.) ofCottage Grove, Minnesota; a sister Helen Calvin of Pennock and fourgrandchildren.

J. WESLEY JOHNSTONApril 29, 1907 – September 6, 1995
The Rev. J. Wesley Johnston was born to the Rev. Danieland Annie Johnston on April 29, 1907 at Winnebago,Minnesota. He was a very tiny baby, and was not expectedto live. His parents wanted to name him John Wesley, butwere afraid he would be teased with the name “JohnnieJohnston,” so they named him J. Wesley, using just theinitial “J” for his first name. He was a graduate of BlueEarth High School, Hamline University, Dakota WesleyanUniversity and Boston University School of Theology.
284
His father entered the Minnesota Conference in 1896, transferring here fromCanada. Growing up in a parsonage family, J. Wesley was fortunate to know manyMethodist ministers and their families. As a young boy, he would rather play ballthan read the bible or have prayer time, but at the age of twelve, he dedicated his lifeto Christ. He was the youngest person at that time ever to be received on trial intothe Minnesota Annual Conference, at the age of 18. In 1932 he succeeded his ailingfather at the Morristown/Warsaw/Blooming Grove parish.
One of his happiest moments was when his father performed the weddingceremony for his marriage to Bertha Irene Marlow on June 27, 1933 in Rochester.Minnesota. They met while he was serving the Methodist Church in Hudson,Colorado where she was a member and President of the Epworth League.Other parishes that J. Wesley served included student pastorates in Minnesota,Nebraska, South Dakota and Colorado; and in Minnesota: Echo/Wood Lake; NorthMankato/Eagle Lake; Marshall; Fergus Falls; Worthington; Brainerd; RedwoodFalls; and Grand Rapids.
J. Wesley loved all spectator sports, and was college handball and volleyballchamp in 1926 while at Hamline. He was on the track, discus, and softball teamsthroughout college, and was privileged to be a pep speaker at pre-game rallies atDakota Wesleyan. He also loved ping pong and was a scoutmaster while in college.He loved humor and seldom spoke without telling a joke, unless of course, it wasa serious time. He was proud that he never drank alcohol, never smoked, or owneda gun. He loved geography, and did much traveling. In his travels he would enjoystopping at other Methodist churches, and picking up bulletins. He collectedappropriate, and sometimes humorous, sentence sermons, such as “If absencemakes the heart grow fonder, some people must really love church.”
J. Wesley was proud to have known Walter Mondale, Harry Blackman, and WarrenBurger. Walter Mondale assisted him at Summer Youth Camp at Frontenac,Minnesota, where he was manager, and recreational leader for seven years.Supreme Court Justices Blackman and Burger were Sunday School classmates ofhis in a St. Paul Methodist Church J. Welsey’s father served. J. Wesley was also aDean of a Northern Pines Senior High Camp in 1960, while serving at Brainerd.
285
J. Wesley Johnston retired in 1974, after 48 3/4 years of active ministry. In 1982he celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his ordination.

My JobHow much do I love thee? The fragrance wafting from the workroom...
Let me count the ways... the stencil maker... how I wish weThe frequent ting-a-ling of the could re-zone that o-zone...

The rousing coffee breaks, a-a-a-a-hkeeping me in touch with the How I love it all! What a way to go!inside world; Just remember; ask not for whom the

PENSION RECOGNITION GIFTS
The Pension Fund of the Minnesota Annual Conference provides a creative recog-nition opportunity to those who would support the pension need. Any person,family, congregation, or other group may design a recognition gift to honor anindividual. Such gifts are published when the total in any one name reaches$1,000.00. The published gifts may be added to at any time and in any amount.
Perhaps you or your group would like to offer a testimony of recognition, welcom-ing others to celebrate with you the achievements of a dedicated church leader.Designating a gift of recognition will perpetuate the efforts of a loved one, relativeor friend, or any person who has made a difference in the lives of others using hisor her special gifts to bring caring, friendship and inspiration. Such a recognitiongift also supports an ongoing need and commitment to pension funding for ourretired clergy servants and spouses.
Individuals honored through such a gift may be living or deceased, clergy or laity.Each year in the conference Journal, we will publish recognition gifts of $1,000.00or more — including those campaign gifts, offered in recognition of another per-son, to benefit the pension emphasis.
You may choose to designate your gift for pensions to the Pension EndowmentFund. By design, this fund preserves the principal of each gift, paying out theearnings produced each year to fund the benefits paid to our retirees. Ultimately,the Endowment Fund principal will be brought into play when the last pensionbenefits for pre-1982-service are paid out.

2. CBOPHB compensation for an incapacitated clergyperson shall be provided withthe following stipulations:a. Throughout any period of incapacitation the entity funding the position shall
always provide housing and utilities for the clergyperson until theappointment is changed.
b. Through the first 60 days of incapacitation the funding entity shall, inaddition to housing and utilities, continue to provide full support (i.e. salaryat the current level, health insurance, Ministerial Pension Plan andComprehensive Protection Plan). For this 60 day period, however, theCBOPHB, when requested by the cabinet, may provide funds for pulpitsupply or other services essential to the position.

In thiscircumstance, until the first 60 days of incapacitation are completed, theCBOPHB will compensate salary at the current level; after the first 60 days,the salary component reverts to the applicable equitable compensation level.
b. In the case of recurrence, funds ordinarily provided for pulpit supply or otheressential services are reduced in proportion to the funds which the CBOPHBprovided in the first 60 days for the incapacitated clergyperson’scompensation.

within 90 days of resumption of essential duties and results from, or iscontributed to, by the same or related causes as those of the previousincapacitation.
b. The status of a clergyperson on incapacitation compensation shall bereported monthly by the cabinet to the CBOPHB.

It is further recommended that the membership of such agencies includeone-third clergy, one-third laywomen, and one-third laymen, except for the Board ofOrdained Ministry.”
Discipline, ¶810.5 - “A voting member of a general agency, by virtue of such membership,shall become an ex offico (voting) member of the corresponding agency or its equivalentstructure in the Annual Conference, in accordance with the provisions of ¶707.5; unlesssuch membership would conflict with ¶709.2b(2). Elected lay members of the GeneralBoard of Higher Education and Ministry may serve as lay observers in their AnnualConference Board of Ordained Ministry (¶733.1), if so nominated by the resident bishop.”
Discipline, ¶707.5 - “Members of general agencies (¶801) shall serve as ex officio membersof the corresponding Annual Conference agency or its equivalent structure (see ¶810.4,5).If this results in a person being a member of more than one Annual Conference agency inviolation of either Annual Conference policy or another provision of The Book ofDiscipline, the person shall choose the Annual Conference agency on which to serve.”
“Organizational unit” used hereafter shall mean a council, board, commission, committee oragency of the Annual Conference.
325
Persons are named to serve on organizational units through four channels: Chairpersons(unless otherwise directed by the Discipline or other precedent rules) and at large membersare nominated by the Conference Committee on Nominations; some persons are nominatedto organizational units by the bishop and/or cabinet; district representatives are nominatedby District Committees on Nominations; ex officio members serve by virtue of otherpositions or liaison relationships from other organizational units. Conference action electspersons nominated and confirms persons named as ex officio.
An organizational unit may fill vacancies that occur between Annual Conferences inconsultation with the Conference Committee on Nominations, unless the Discipline directsotherwise. The next Annual Conference would elect a person to fill the position. If theperson named to fill the position during the interim is elected, the year in which that personwas named shall count as year one of service.
If consistent long-term absence is practiced by any member of an organizational unit, theConference Committee on Nominations shall, upon directive of the organizational unit,contact the person concerning future service to determine if replacement is appropriate.“Long term consistent absence” for this purpose is defined as three consecutive absenceswithout having sent notices of excuse or regret.
No person elected by the Annual Conference shall serve more than eight consecutive yearson an organizational unit, except when the term of office is three years, in which case themaximum term shall be three terms. It is anticipated that a person elected will considerservice for a period of at least four years; however, review and elections shall occurannually. A person shall be allowed to serve an additional two years on an organizationalunit if elected chair.
No person shall be elected by the conference to more than two organizational units, nor chairmore than one organizational unit. This would not include district, general or jurisdictionalelections, nor institutions which make their own nominations, nor persons serving ex officioas a representative of one organizational unit to another.
The Annual Conference, at the first session following General Conference, shall electpersons for office to serve a term of four years (one quadrennium) and those elected mayserve no more than two consecutive quadrennia on an organizational unit (except for thosedesignated differently by the Discipline or by rules which take precedent), subject to annualreview. Service in any portion of an unexpired term shall be counted as a full term. Duringthe transition, the schedule following the 1992 election will be:
Those with one or two years remaining in their term will be eligible to complete theirterm of service.Those with three, four, five, or six years remaining in their term will be eligible to servefor one more quadrennium. Those with seven or eight years remaining in their term willbe eligible to serve two quadrennia.
326
All conference officers and organizational unit officers shall exercise the duties andresponsibilities of their offices until their successors are elected. Members of organizationalunits shall assume membership immediately upon the conclusion of the Annual Conferenceat which they were elected. A person whose term of service has expired may not be re-elected to that position for a period of four years.
Persons who are members of agencies who receive salary support from the agencyor whosechurch/institution receives program grants from that agency shall not vote on matterspertaining to their salary or their church/institution’s program grants.
Every member of the Annual Conference shall receive a questionnaire regarding theirinterest in conference responsibilities at least twice in the quadrennium. The cabinet isempowered to make necessary adjustments in clergy personnel in organizational unitsfollowing changes in appointments.
All conference staff and/or district superintendents who are members of organizational unitsare members without vote, unless The Book of Discipline or the organizational unitdetermines otherwise. All other voting privileges of ex officio members or boards andagencies shall be determined by that agency.
These guidelines will be applied by districts to district structures and organizations.

CONFERENCE APPORTIONMENT
The Annual Conference Apportionment for underwriting our Christian witness throughthe Ministries of Outreach and Benevolences, Pastoral Support and Resource Managementis calculated on a formula based one half on membership and one half on local churchexpenses, net of any housing allowance paid pastor(s), less credits of 10% on the seniorpastor’s salary and the amount paid up to a limit for ordained and diaconal minister’s(s)pension contributions. The Annual Conference Apportionment is determined as follows:
a. Compute the Local Church Membership Decimal by dividing the 1995 local churchmembership figure by the total 1995 annual conference membership.
b. Compute the Local Church Expenditure Decimal by dividing the average of specifiedlocal church expenditures for the last three years by the average of the year’s totals of thesame expenses for all churches. Expenses for 1993, 1994 and 1995 are from columns aslisted below less housing allowance (net of utilities) from the Table II in the ConferenceJournals.
These Columns are:
64.Pastor’s base compensation.65.Associate pastor’s base compensation.66.Utilities & other housing related allowances (less Sr. pastor’s housing allowance)67. Travel allowance.68. Other cash allowances.69. Diaconal minister’s total compensation.70. Other staff compensation.71. Current expenses for program.72. Other current operating expenes.
(These Local Church Expenditures do not include payments for Principal & Interest on In-debtedness, Buildings and improvements, Benevolences Paid Directly by the Local Church,Conference Apportionments, or Advance Specials.)
c. Add the Local Church Membership Decimal and Expenditure Decimal together, thendivide by two. This becomes the Local Church’s Apportionment Decimal.
d. Multiply the Apportionment Decimal by the combined total of:1. Annual Conference Apportioned Amount for 1997....... $4,857,6852. 10% of Senior Pastors’ Salaries......... 810,7003. 19.4% of Senior Pastors’, 19.4% of Associate Pastors’ and 9% of Diaconal Ministers’ salaries up to the Denominational Average Compensation figure (estimated by the General Board of Pensions for 1997) of $37,084............ 1,700,6004. Adjustments for “g” and “h” below.......... 189,115
$7,558,100
349
e. Deduct a credit of 10% of the senior pastors’ salary approved by the charge conferencefor 1996 and reported by the district superintendents to the conference treasurer.
f. Deduct a pension credit of 19.4% times maximum of $37,084 for each ordainedminister under appointment and 9% of diaconal minister’s salaries apporoved by the chargeconference for 1996.
g. No Church is to be apportioned less than 35% or more than 85% of the base per memberamount. For 1997 this is 7,558,100/102,413=$73.80 base resulting in a $25.83 minimumand $62.73 maximum.
h. No church shall have a percentage increase in apportionment of more than 20% abovethe percentage increase of the apportioned amount in the annual conference budget in anyone year. However, no church shall pay less than the 35% of the per member base figure.
