Installation Service & Opening PlenaryOR-ID and PNW Shared Session #1 of 5

Bishop Elaine J.W. Stanovsky was introduced. A Covenant Service followed, then a Presentation of Signs of Episcopal ministry: a pastoral staff, a bible, water, bread and cup, towel and basin, stole, Book of Discipline, and a gavel. Bishop Elaine preached, using the conference theme scripture from Luke 10:26-28, Do This and You Will Live. This is an answer to the question of why we do what we do, and Jesus’ why is different from the world’s why; it is about a way of life and living, a life that comes in relationship. It’s about caring as much about your neighbor’s quality of life as your own; not so much eternal as relational. The offering received was to support Project Rebuild: Up From the Ashes. $31,216.43 were given.

Following opening worship, the bishop called the sessions of the 49th session of the Oregon-Idaho and the 144th session of the Pacific Northwest annual conferences to order and invited the Holy Spirit to be among us to guide our work.

Laura Jaquith Bartlett, conference secretary for Oregon-Idaho, moved that the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, meeting in its 49th Session, conduct some of its reports, celebrations, business, and worship together with the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, as indicated on the official agenda. Passed.

Shirley DeLarme, conference secretary for Pacific Northwest, moved that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, meeting in its 144th Session, conduct some of its reports, celebrations, business, and worship together with the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference, as indicated on the official agenda. Passed.

Laura then moved the organizational motions for both conferences, as follows:1. That the printed conference program, including Orders of the Day, is hereby adopted

as the official agenda with such changes as will be proposed from time to time by theAgenda chair;

2. That the conference staff, interpreters, readers, mentors, technicians, and pages who donot hold voting privileges are allowed the privilege of working within the bar of theconference;

3. That the registration process for this joint annual conference session be used as the RollCall for the 144th Session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference and the 49th Session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference;

4. That our official visitors from the Alaska Conference be allowed to sit within the bar,with voice but no vote;

5. That clergy from other annual conferences and other Methodist denominations, currentlyserving under appointment in Oregon-Idaho and in Pacific Northwest under paragraph

E-2 DAILY PROCEEDINGS 2017 PNWAC

346.1 of the 2016 Book of Discipline be allowed to sit within the bar of the conference with voice but no vote.

6. That the Daily Proceedings for this joint conference session be kept for both Oregon-Idaho and Pacific Northwest, and that each conference’s Daily Proceedings be included in the appropriate Conference Journal as the official minutes for Oregon-Idaho’s 49th Session and for Pacific Northwest’s 144th Session;

7. That the bar of the conference be set for this evening as the chairs within this room, as well as the head platform and the technicians’ booth. [Laura noted before making the motion that visitors who are within the bar for the worship service should refrain from voting.] Passed.

Wendy Woodworth brought greetings from the Agenda Chairs (Wendy from OR-ID and Jon Short from PNW), and reviewed the challenges and opportunities in this unique schedule. She urged us to pay close attention to transition times, which are often very short.

Bishop Stanovsky invited Brant Henshaw and Sharon Ryder to address the conference on the topic of Safe Sanctuaries. Brant introduced a group of “Safety Advocates” for this annual conference session. The Safety Advocates are available for anyone who feels that their boundaries (physical, emotional, spiritual) have been compromised, because we want this session to be a safe and productive space for everyone. Sharon spoke on behalf of the Accessibility Committee, who offered that all the committee members (wearing blue scarves or pins) are available for anyone who needs assistance with accessibility. She also asked that no food with nuts be brought to the AC site.

The bishop reported that we have a number of special visitors and guests, who will be introduced tomorrow. In the meantime, she encouraged us to speak to people here whom we do not know—and everyone will be able to easily find someone in that category!

Carlo Rapanut, superintendent of the Alaska United Methodist Conference, offered a final benediction, followed by a musical blessing from the Boise First UMC youth choir.

PNW Plenary Session #1of 3 Thursday, June 15, 2017 8:02am

Orders Chair Jon Short gave instructions about procedures for doing the work, including the use of Plenary cards, and waiting to be called on before approaching a microphone.

Preliminary Reports: Rules Committee preliminary report was delivered by Shane Moore. Part 1 of the report was Petition #14, Rule VII, Sec. 3 (d) (2016 Journal, p. N-23) regarding the minimum apportionment for a newly chartered church be set by formula by the Board of Congregational Development using the models they have developed that reflect both the current context and emerging new ministry models. Passed.

Part 2 of the report contains six petitions for a later direct vote by the Conference. Part 3 contains corrections to rules of grammatical nature or to reflect previous actions, book of discipline updates, etc. and are for information only.

Nominations Committee preliminary report was delivered by Juli Reinholz. The 2016 final report


on the website was the beginning place for changes happening. Further updates are pending.

Finance and CFA Preliminary Report was delivered by Peter Perry and Brant Henshaw. The Conference budget is not always increased, and has dropped by as much as 17% in recent years. The apportionment payment rate, once as low as 89%, has risen to 93%. Of every dollar given 34% goes back to the local church in some form-- grant or local support.

Peter Perry reported section D2 of the PCH is the budget, written to empower ministry, apply fiduciary responsibility to the use of reserve funds, and honor the socially responsible investing process. This budget is -0.96% of the previous budget.

Kathy Neary, Seven River District, requested details of the Connectional Ministries budget, which are promised at the Budget Focus Session on Friday. Jenny Phillips, Valley Mountain congregation inquired about progress toward Fossil Free Investing and the January 1 deadline, in compliance with AC2016. Brant Henshaw reported they were on schedule to meet the deadline.

Consent Calendar: Nancy Tam Davis, Conference Lay Leader & David Valera, Dir. Connectional Ministries reported that rules approved a couple of years ago allow us to be flexible in structuring the Conference. As part of the adjustments, fewer than 15 copies of PCH were requested this year, which is something to celebrate.

The Consent Calendar created by the following process:• Petitions were reviewed by rules committee for questions & budget implications• Connectional Table & CFA received them and voted and produced the Consent Calendar• There are late-breaking petitions that will be presented later.• The Consent Calendar is presented for voting

Bruce Smith, Wesley: Yakima, moved to defer action until the next plenary session. Following a 2nd it was deferred.

Asbury Peace with Justice Award was presented by Kendra Behn- SmithBoard of Higher Education & Campus Ministry, Francis Asbury Award for fostering Higher Education in local setting, was awarded to Margaret “Peggy” Ray. This award is named for Bishop Asbury and is based on his admonition to the people called Methodists to erect a school in the vicinity of every church. “We must,” he said, “…give the key of knowledge to your children, and those of the poor in the vicinity of your small towns and villages.” Nominees are active in supporting, strengthening and promoting the church’s work in higher education ministries at the annual conference, district, or local church level. Additionally, they offer outstanding leadership, above and beyond basic responsibilities, to help bring heightened awareness to the significance of the church’s higher education.

Shared Plenary Session #2 of 5Thursday, June 15, 2017 9:20 am

The shared plenary session began with a devotional time of singing and reflection led by folks from Crosspoint, a new church start in Boise.

Bishop Stanovsky used her gavel to call the morning session to order. The bishop introduced the head platform folks: the parliamentarian, Paul Cosgrove; Oregon-Idaho’s agenda chair, Wendy Woodworth (who worked with Jon Short from PNW to prepare the shared agenda); PNW’s conference secretary, Shirley DeLarme (Laura Jaquith Bartlett, OR-ID’s conference secretary, is also on the platform and will trade off duties with Shirley); PNW Lay Leader Nancy Tam Davis (who will trade off with Jan Nelson, OR-ID’s lay leaders); and Rachel Fitzgerald, the brand-new administrative assistant for the Area’s Episcopal Office.

Lowell Greathouse, David Valera, and Carlo Rapanut, who carry the job responsibilities of the Area’s Directors of Connectional Ministries, talked of their intent to highlight a variety of “signs of life” throughout our conference session. Today’s video focused on church revitalization work coordinated by Bill Gibson, Steve Ross, and Kristina Gonzalez. Our mission field continues to changes but our mission remains the same. The question: What’s your mission field?

Bill Gibson told the conference members that starting new churches is all about one word: relationships—with Jesus, and with each other. Bill reported that we will have 40 new church projects “on the ground” by July 26, which were launched last year and this year combined. The District Superintendents have also counted up about 65 “new places for new people.” Bill challenged every church in the Area to create at least one new place this year. He highlighted a few exciting new ministry opportunities that are in process right now. Let’s erase the label of None Zone. It’s the Abundant Zone. What are you willing to do to love the world into life? It’s time for disruptive innovation.

Steve Ross (OR-ID) is retiring at this annual conference. His work in church revitalization was celebrated, and the members had an opportunity to show appreciation for his ministry over the past few years on behalf of the Greater Northwest Area. He stated the common characteristics of vital congregations—(1) develop excellent leadership teams, focus on discipleship, (2) ask serious questions about who we are, who we love, what we do well, who do we say Jesus is, (3) focus their


ministries on reaching people God is sending, are we blessing the world with our response. He also instructed us to quit measuring ourselves against the glorious past and ask,” who are we now?”

Kristina Gonzalez has worked in PNW for many years, but Alaska and OR-ID folks also know Kristina due to her work throughout the Episcopal Area on behalf of an inclusive church. Kristina shared her own family history, and reminded us that no one should be subjected to attitudes and behaviors that are demeaning or that devalue who we are as human beings. She urged us to think about this question: In what ways are you called to be humble in order to create a relationship with someone who is different from you? The work of cultural competency is indeed work, and it’s personal work, but Kristina witnessed to the blessings that happen in the midst of this work.

The bishop affirmed that we are working hard to do a new thing here in the Greater Northwest. She noted that this is not a formal structure; it’s a voluntary collaboration among the three conferences as we pool resources and energy and creativity in strengthening discipleship and bringing new people into community with us.

Bill Gibson invited folks from Valley and Mountain (PNW) to receive an award, celebrating its success in becoming a chartered United Methodist Church in just six years.

Constitutional Amendments Jan Nelson (OR-ID) and Marie Kuch-Stanovsky (PNW), the heads of delegation for General Conference 2016, introduced the constitutional amendments from GC2016, in preparation for voting tomorrow. They also shared recommendations from the delegations on each of the five amendments.

Introductions to GuestsBishop Elaine welcomed a number of resource people here from general agencies of The UMC, as well as Jan Elfers (Executive Director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon). The general church visitors named were Lauren Ward (Discipleship Resources), Amy Valdez-Barker (Executive Secretary of the Connectional Table), Shannon Logan (Shared Services Manager, General Council on Finance & Administration), Terry Shoemaker (Wespath), Jodi Chadwell (Chief Officer of Shared Services and Ministry Evaluation, General Council on Finance & Administration), Mark Conner (Benefits Educator, Wespath).

Charles Brower (Nome Native Ministries), Teri Erbele (Ketchikan/CFA chair), Jim Doepken (Seward/Moose Pass/AC Communicator), Lisa Talbott (Homer/Chair New Faith Community Development), Joe Talbott (Chair, Trustees), Nico Romeijn-Stout (St. John UMC).

Laity SessionThe Laity met in a Shared Session at the Red Lion location of Annual Conference 2017, the Board of Laity presiding. The structure centered around presenter comments followed by table discussions and sharing/tweeting. The topics included:

• Abundant Health—the big why• Doing Church Differently• Neighborhood Ministry• Project Rebuild: Up from the Ashes• Possibilities in Our Own Ministry Settings• Making Commitments to follow through

In addition to the remainder of the usual business of the session, two items of business were presented and approved for the Conference, including:

These three Transfer Processes are instigated by changes in the 2016 Book of DisciplineMoved: Guidelines for Appropriate Conduct by Current and Former Pastors, passed.These relate to changes of appointments while striving for healthy relationships for pastors and congregations.

Memorial ServiceShalom Agtarap urged us to drink from the river of life. She reminded us that grief can lead to death if we permit it. If we remember the deliverance of the past, but not the grace-filled deliverance of the present, we are not drinking from the river of life. She reminds us that Jesus’ time is limited in history, but our time is always, here. Jesus is inviting us to look at our grief and pain, and asking how are you my future? We can’t wait until the next festival of booths, or the next annual conference, because our time is always now, here. Those who died in the past year were named in an act of remembrance in which stones were dropped in a bowl of water containing waters from around the world. An offering was received to respond to a need named by newly-elected Bishop Kasap Owen Tshibang, for desks for 600 students in two schools in Lubumbashi. Each locally manufactured desk seats four students, at a cost of about $40 per student. $5,289.95 were raised.

OR-ID and PNW Shared Session #3 of 5Friday, June 16, 2017 9:20 am

Recognition of RetireesDuring a service of worship, the retiring clergy and diaconal minister of PNW and OR-ID were recognized and celebrated. The candidates who were elected into provisional membership for both conferences were introduced, and those to be ordained as elders and deacon were asked the historic Wesleyan questions by Bishop Stanovsky. A mantle was passed from a retiring elder to an elder ordinand, and a pitcher and towel were passed from a retiring deacon to the deacon ordinand.


Laity AddressJan Nelson, lay leader for Oregon-Idaho, and Nancy Tam Davis, lay leader for Pacific Northwest, began The Nancy and Jan Report!, a news bulletin, by welcoming the new bishop and celebrating her presence around the episcopal area. Then each Lay Leader celebrated several churches in their conferences who were doing remarkable works in response to God’s empowerment and reminder: “You are my children. Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly with your God. Do this and you will live.”

Constitutional Amendments for VoteJan Nelson and Marie Kuch-Stanovsky returned to present information about the amendments.

Lonnie Brooks of Alaska was given permission to speak. He offered a point of information about Amendment V.

After extensive discussion, Alicia Webb moved the previous question. Seconded. Passed.

Before the voting, the bishop led us in a time of silence and a prayer. The voting was opened and both conferences marked the ballots, which had been distributed by the tellers, and then were collected. Bishop Stanovsky declared the ballot to be closed.

The bishop offered a prayer, and then dismissed Oregon-Idaho members for lunch.

PNW Plenary Session #2 of 3 Friday, June 16, 2017 11:05am

Ruth Award 2017 and Marion Kline Award 2017The Ruth Award was presented to Noriko Lao, who came to United Methodist Women at age 28 by way of Foundry United Methodist Church in DC. She was introduced to the mission of the church through the vitality of United Methodist Women. She has served in both Conference and District leadership positions, as a member of a team to Jurisdictional Conference, and recently through UMCOR as a Japan Consultant following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. She stands for the rights of all people – for immigrants, for children and youth, for women young and old and for the full inclusion within the United Methodist Church of members of the LGBTQ community. She acts globally and locally. Noriko has proclaimed “God is the Creator of all people. We are all God’s children. We must carry on our legacy of faith, love and action.”

Scholarship awarded to Bailey Brawner, member of St. John’s UMC in Anchorage going through ordination process in PNW Conference. She attends Boston University School of Theology. The scholarship was partially funded by The Gloria Spriggs Scholarship Fund from Olympia First UMC.

Marion Kline Award 2017 was presented to Lyda Pierce. Pat Simpson presented the award.

Marion Kline began her ministry in 1943, and was in the first class of women ordained when full clergy rights were won in 1956. From small town ministry in the U.S. to teaching in the Philippines, she entered fully into the life of the people she served, loving deeply and speaking out boldly. This award is given by women in ministry in the PNW Conference to honor a clergywoman who follows in Marion’s footsteps.


Appointed out of seminary to a small rural Western Washington church, Lyda Pierce learned that nuclear weapons were being shipped through their town by railroad. She joined a group of local activists opposing the shipments, and sat on the tracks. Even her roommate in jail proved to be supportive. Earning her D. Min degree she sat with 9 women from an area of Honduras badly hit by Hurricane Mitch, reflecting on how they discerned God calling them to build a new Honduras. They did their own theological work and presented together with Lyda at theological conference. Now she brings what she learned about hospitality in Central America to us in the Pacific Northwest, helping our churches welcome and celebrate people of different cultures.

OR-ID and PNW Shared Session #4 of 5Friday, June 16, 2017 2:35 pm

Greetings from the Connection

Amy Valdez Barker, the executive secretary of our denomination’s Connectional Table, reminded us that we are each investors and beneficiaries of the United Methodist connection.

CONAM (Committee on Native American Ministries)The Committees on Native American Ministries for all three of our Area Conferences have been working together for some time now. A number of members of the joint CONAM were seated in front of the plenary space, and were recognized by Kristina Gonzalez. She introduced Coyote Marie Hunter-Ripper (OR-ID) and Charlie Brower (Alaska). Coyote Marie began by saying “hi everyone, how you doin’?” in Cherokee. She noted that she is Cherokee, Choctaw, and Scottish. She also described her clothing, hat, and jewelry, which come from a variety of traditions, and pointed out that her background and wardrobe make her multi-cultural and multi-faith! Charlie pointed out that the turtle on top of Coyote Marie’s Sufi hat reminds him of the diversity that we value in the United Methodist Church. He lifted up a summit event called Why Water Matters, to be held November 16-18, 2017 in Minneapolis. Charlie also wondered aloud what will happen in the future when the UMC’s three missionary conferences (Alaska United Methodist Conference, Redbird Missionary Conference, and Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference) no longer exist, as the General Board of Global Ministries phases out this relationship and support. He is grateful to be in partnership with all of us in the Greater Northwest. Priscilla Gardee spoke briefly to add her sense of caring to the report. Bishop Elaine presented a copy of the book, Massacre at Sand Creek: How Methodists Were Involved in an American Tragedy, to Priscilla.


Greetings fromKirsty Jenkinson from Wespath brought greetings to the shared session, and told three stories about Wespath’s investment values.

Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, the president of Claremont School of Theology, was introduced and spoke to the conferences about the amazing growth that CST has experienced since 2011. He also spoke candidly about the financial challenge of keeping CST in its current location. To upgrade the current physical facilities and maintain the Claremont campus would take vast millions of dollars—which could not be spent on students and faculty. Dr. Kuan shared that the school is in the midst of looking for a new site for the seminary, and he invites our prayers in this process.

Shannon Logan, senior manager of Shared Services for the General Council of Finance and Administration for the UMC, congratulated both annual conferences for paying 100% of our jurisdictional and general apportionments in 2016, part of a record 27 conferences to do so, and thanked us for our faithful ministry and witness.

Brant Henshaw and Dan Wilson-Fey, conference treasurers for PNW and OR-ID, noted that part of our apportionment giving is directed to Africa University, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!

Reading of Appointments All the District Superintendents and lay leaders came to the platform to join with the bishop in the reading of new appointment changes, interspersed with song.

• Tim Overton-Harris, the new Cascadia District Superintendent, was invited forward. Bishop Elaine also acknowledged Peg Lofsvold and Steve Sprecher, who have served the district well over this past year. Tim and Bishop Stanovsky read the new appointments for Cascadia.

• Erin Martin is continuing as the Columbia District Superintendent. She and the bishop read the new appointments for Columbia.

• John Tucker, the Crater Lake District Superintendent joined Bishop Elaine for the reading of the new appointments for Crater Lake.

• Gregg Sealey, District Superintendent for the Inland district, came forward to read with the bishop the new appointments for Inland District.

• Daniel Foster, Puget Sound District Superintendent joined with the bishop for the two new appointments to be read for the Puget Sound district.

• Gwen Drake, the District Superintendent for Sage district, came to the podium to help the bishop with the reading of the new appointments for Sage district.

• Rich Lang, District Superintendent for the Seattle district, assisted the bishop with the reading of appointment changes for the Seattle district.

• Mary Huycke, the new (again!) District Superintendent for the Seven Rivers district, was welcomed to her appointment as the DS. The bishop also thanked Juli Reinholz for her important work on the district. Mary Huycke and Bishop Elaine read the new appointments for Seven Rivers.

• Cara Scriven, Tacoma District Superintendent, came forward to assist the bishop with the reading of changes in appointments in the Tacoma district.

• David Nieda, Vancouver District Superintendent, joined the bishop to read the appointment changes for the Vancouver district.

• The deans of the two conferences, Gwen Drake and David Nieda, read together with the bishop the new Extension ministry appointments.


The combined district lay leaders read a litany of welcome and commitment for the new appointments. Our conference musicians then led us in a final song together.

Prayer to disperse

Moment of Personal Privilege,Elizabeth Ingram Schindler, reflection about installation service, particularly how meaningful it was to see that her daughter could know of a woman bishop, and that God could possibly call her into ministry and mothering at the same time. She was awed by the power God has to change a world that would appear, in so many ways, at so many times, doomed to repeating the same mistakes until the spirit of the people is broken and they just. give. up. And that God could use people like us – people like Elaine, and like me, even me – to bring life to the world.

Conference 2018Bishop Elaine declared the dates for the next Conference session would be June 21-24, 2018Tacoma District Superintendent Cara Scriven and Lay Leader Megan Kilpatrick invite everyone to the beautiful Puyallup Valley where the strawberries will be ready and there will be scones.

Appreciations & RecognitionsBishop Elaine StanovskyRachel Fitzgerald, new Administrative Assistant to the bishop, welcome, thanks for trying to do thisMary Tapp, died recently, worked for 4 bishops, unfailingly gracious, efficient, and a prophetic voiceBecky Delurey, Portland office, accepted into MSW program at University, and working with students at campGretchen Engle, who is departing, knows things that need done and does them before anyone else knows, shares information before its need is known, she looks one in the eyes, anticipates; she is a person of the earth, and talent, and hospitality; a person of the heart, but not soft; courageous in the face of much that is truly hard.


Celebrating AbundanceGenerosity comes from God, and we are called to share God’s generosity with others.First UMC, Ketchikan Alaska Day CenterTeri Erbele and wife Ann ErbeleThe Day Shelter is the only place in the community that offers day shelter for people who otherwise would be on the streets. The shelter offers showers, clothing and hygiene care for those without facilities. Fewer people dying from exposure, fewer people loitering, fewer people hungry and more people feeling safe in our community.

Ronald UMC, Shoreline, Washington, Ronald Commons & HopelinkMarilyn Reid and Rueben RoqueRonald Commons is a new affordable housing development in Shoreline at 178th Street between Aurora Avenue North and Linden Avenue North. The project includes a renovation of the Ronald United Methodist Church (RUMC) building and a new construction, mixed-use building that will include 60 units of affordable housing, owned and operated by Compass Housing Alliance, and a 12,000 square feet Integrated Service Center owned and operated by Hopelink. The Integrated Service Center will include a food bank, family services, and financial education and assistance for low-income households. An internal courtyard, play area and walking path will create an integrated connection between the three program facilities.

Methodist Counseling Center, Boise, IdahoJosh & Irene Bynum Methodist Counseling Center serves the Treasure Valley seeing clients at 2 locations in Boise, Emmett, Mountain Home, Kuna, Meridian, and Nampa. So far has graduated 2 generations of interns and expanded sites. Wanted to provide faith-based counseling that wasn’t bible thumping with the goal to improve the health of people in areas served and connect with faith communities. Currently the Center employs 6 Clinicians/ Marriage and Family Counselor, and also helps train counselors by providing 4 supervised internships per term. Providing internships is part of the Center’s Mission. It helps to ensure quality, faith-based mental health services are available into the future. Local hospitals provide psychiatric services as needed. Each clinician sees at least 10% of their clients who are unable to pay for services. Interns’ client loads are about 50% people who are not able to pay for services. So far, no person who has been turned away for inability to pay.

Table Conversations: share your insights, hopes, concerns and ideas.

Thank you was expressed to many.

We want to recognize the work of pianist John Nilsen of Portland, Oregon whose music has been used throughout this program. John’s goal is to play in every church in the Oregon/Idaho Conference, which he has done, and the Pacific Northwest Conference, about 70% complete.

Closing prayer liturgy, led by Conference Lay Leaders


OR-ID and PNW Shared Session #5 of 5Saturday, June 17, 2017 2:00 pm

With the business of plenary sessions complete, the conference members and guests focused more directly on the work of discipleship. A variety of “Ministry Alive” options were offered throughout the morning, from training opportunities, to discussion groups, to advocacy, and hands-on mission work. Along with materials for creating kits, $584.00 were brought to fund the project.

River Witness, Saturday, June 17, 2017 11:15amAt the conclusion of the morning’s Ministry Alive options, folks were invited to gather at the riverside, where we were led in a celebration of what we had shared together, along with a time to rejoice for the gifts of living water—and in particular for the river that our two conferences share. Jenny Phillips reminded us to integrate Church life and God’s creation, that the river flowing through the streets in the scripture is a sign of sacred integration. The river provides much, and can also dry up or bring death. Often we fail to experience God within each other and in the water. If we really think God is made manifest in creation we have much work to do with creation. We know enough to act, to bear witness; to not be afraid, for God wants us to share.

Service of Commissioning and OrdinationFollowing a shared lunch, new provisional members from PNW and OR-ID were commissioned, as two elders and one deacon were ordained. Jeremy Smith was the preacher. He challenged us to make the radical decision of the heart, as reflected in the Sh’ma, to trust God and go all in, that God has staked a claim in us. He reminded us that the body of Christ hangs on the margins, thus we must care for the extremities. We must preach a radical gospel because no one else will. Bishop Elaine Stanovsky presided at communion. An offering was received for a new church in East Anchorage, AK, with $3701.25 given.

Just prior to the opening of worship, Bishop Elaine asked for (and was granted) consensus that, following the ordination/commissioning service, the 49th session of the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference and the 144th session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference be adjourned.

The following questions along with the preceding vision statement will provide the basis for that review. Please provide a narrative response to each question below:

1. Inthepastyear,usingfinancialresourcesfromthePacificNorthwestConference:

This may include making new disciples, helping those who work with theministrytogrowindiscipleshipandservicetotheworld.Rev.DavidValeraExecutiveDirectorofConnectionalMinistriesOURMANDATEFromthe2016BookofDisciplinewefind:Paragraph 608. Connectional Ministries – Each annual conference is responsible to focus and guide the mission and ministry of The United Methodist Church within its boundaries by:

1. envisioning the ministries necessary to live out the mission of the church in and through the annual conference;

2. creating and nurturing relationships and connections among local, district, annual conference and general Church ministries;

3. providing encouragement, coordination, and support for the ministries of nurture, outreach, and witness in districts and congregations for the transformation of the world;

4. ensuring the alignment of the total resources of the conference to its mission; 5. developing and strengthening ethnic ministries, including ethnic local churches and

concerns; 6. providing for the advocacy and monitoring functions to ensure that the church is consistent

with its stated values… In the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, The Office of Connectional Ministries or OCMexists tohelp thechurch lineup “whatwesay”with “whatwedo”.StartingwithourAnnualConference Session, the PNW Conference gathers to honor our past, have a deeperunderstandingofourpresent,andprayerfullydiscernandprepareforthefuture.ThroughthemanywayswesharetheloveofChrist,theUnitedMethodistchurchfindsitsvitalityinhelpingchangepeopleandcommunitiesweserve.Ifyouaskme“whatisthemissionfieldoftheOfficeofConnectionalMinistries?”Iwouldsay,it’severyclergyandlaymemberoftheAnnualConference.Asconferencestaff,wehelpleadersoflocalchurches;districtsandconferenceboardsandagenciesbecomeinformed,inspiredandremainalignedandtothemission.Yousee,thedisciplemakingfrontlineisinthelocalchurch.Where the opportunities for one on one interaction between United Methodists and themission field becomes real.

Needless to say, there were happy and proudmoments,aswellaspainfulanddarktimesatGeneralConference.TwodistinctofferingsthePNW-OfficeofConnectionalMinistriesgave toGC2016was theworkof itsCommunicationTeamandtheCreationCarepublicprayervigil.

Here are more details from Patrick Scriven, Teri Tobey, Rev. Jenny Philips and KristinaGonzalez as they highlight theirwork that relate to Communications,Ministrieswith YoungPeople,CreationCareMinistriesandNativeAmericanMinistries.

From general volunteers to Climate Vigil supporters, young adults were present among themasses at General Conference. The presence of young people was particularly noteworthywhenthefollowingstatementofunitywasreadbyAnnJacob,ayoungadultreservedelegatefrom the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference. It was shaped by the work of over 300 UnitedMethodistyoungpeoplefrom34countries.Itwasreceivedwithastandingovation.

StatementofUnity from theUnitedMethodistGlobalYoungPeople’sConvocationandLegislativeAssemblyheldinManila,Philippines:

AsWesley said, ‘Maywe not be of one heart, thoughwe are not of one opinion?’ “We urgeeveryone to seeksolutions thatpromoteourglobalunityas theUnitedMethodistChurchofJesusChrist,ratherthanfocusonlyontheissuesthatdivideus,sothatwemayfaithfullyliveoutourmissionofmakingdisciplesofJesusChristforthetransformationoftheworld.”

KristinaGonzalezDirectorofLeadershipDevelopmentforanInclusiveChurchRestoringtheSacredCirclewithIndigenousPeople:ActsofRepentance.

• Study Guides: In 2015, the Annual Conference entered a multi-year process calledRestoringtheSacredCirclewithIndigenousPeople:ActsofRepentance.Threeexamplesofrepentance were offered in the service, all associated with current issues important torelationships between Native and non-Native peoples.

4. How does this ministry reach across the Conference or represent a Conference priority? For example, a new ministry may be a pilot project in a limited geographical area, but the model should have potential for Conference-wide application. Ministries that are geographically specific should represent a Conference priority.

6.IncludehereyourmostcompellingsuccessstoryinvolvingtheuseofConferencefunds. Rev.DavidValeraExecutiveDirectorofConnectionalMinistriesAt the beginning of each New Year, the Office of Connectional Ministries helps set in motion the planning and implementation the year’s Annual Conference Session in June. It is important to note that the evaluation, comments and suggestions from the most recent AC session is seriously reviewed and taken into consideration by leaders of the Annual Conference. Meeting the logistical and hosting needs of every Annual Conference session is extensive. So working in sync with the Treasurer’s Office, the Bishop and cabinet and the AC design team has to be top priority for the process to meet its goal. The OCM helps with staffing the cooperative development of design, theme and the pre-conference handbook. The Treasurer’s Office and OCM collaborate on the registration of hundreds of participants, while maintaining open lines of communication with leaders & planners during the build process. During the Annual Conference session, there is much ado with little details and big picture ideas, doing our best to help the conference live out radical hospitality, creative worship, and (hopefully) life giving legislation, while bridging a vital connection with the community where the session is being held.

After each session, there is significant follow-up work that is done to produce the AC Journal. This sought-after publication includes printed and digital versions that give a historical record of conference actions, rules and legislation(s). For 2016, it was the second year we had two sections of the directory. One contained reports, data and daily proceedings, while the other had the directory of lay members and


the appointments of clergy. Another big change for 2016 was the creation of a dedicated Lay Members directory section that matches the design and format for clergy members. This move is in keeping with our United Methodist emphases that Lay members are valued as much as the Clergy members of the Annual Conference. OCM office manager Anna Conklin leads the careful and detailed work of making creating the journal.

So how does an Annual Conference Session help in the disciple making process? Let’s start with the children. Parent(s) who participate at AC session hare given access to a children’s care program, which may sound like your basic babysitting duty, but it’s more than that. In 2015, Twinlow camp Staff or “camp ministers” carefully attend to the children and take on the task of planting seeds of God’s love in the minds and hearts of the young disciples. Someday those seeds may grow help grow full-blown disciples of Jesus Christ. Young people who participate as pages, become front line witnesses to the life and ministry of the church. Many of our conference leaders, both lay and clergy have been a page at one time or another. Pages share their experience as both educational and spiritual, as they are involved in the worship and work of the conference.

The Lay Members of the conference bring their desire to learn, share and grow. They also bring their gifts of experience and knowledge to what is going on in their respective mission fields, helping the bigger body understand the many nuances we face in the Pacific Northwest. Our Clergy – who are tasked with shepherding our congregations and faith communities, gather to learn, be inspired and be connected or credentialed to the vision and mission of the greater church; to them, the Annual Conference IS their church, because they are not members of the congregations they serve. Then there’s the community in which we hold these events. The Office of Connectional Ministries is composed of the following staff:

• Executive Director of Connectional Ministries • Director of Leadership Development for an Inclusive Church • Director of New Church Development • Director of Communications & Young People’s Ministries • Coordinator of Hispanic/Latino Ministries • Office Manager/Administrative Assistant for Connectional Ministries • Program Associate for Young People’s Ministries • Graphic Designer and Publications Manager • Regional Media Center Manager • Program Assistant for Leadership/ Congregational Development • Program Assistant for Camping Ministries • Media Center Technical Assistant

The Office of Connectional Ministries also shares resources and collaborates closely with:

• Executive Director, Camping and Retreat Ministries (Camping Board of Stewards) • Minister of Environmental Stewardship and Advocacy

Rev.JennyPhillipsMinisterforEnvironmentalStewardshipandAdvocacyIn 2016, we engaged all these areas through a major project: theGeneral Conference ClimateVigil.Weinvitedcongregationsthroughouttheconferenceandthewholedenominationtoengagein theological reflection on climate change and express their hopes and fears in prayer bydecoratinglanterns.Wereceivedmorethan1000lanternsfromUnitedMethodiststhroughouttheconnection,andtheeffortcatalyzedmanyeventsandlearningopportunitiesthroughoutthePacificNorthwest Conference.

Report to Office of Connectional Ministry, PNWUMC Director of Strategic Faith Community Development Rev. Dr. William D. Gibson 2016 Annual Report material submitted for PNWUMC Conference June 2016 What I’ve been up to this year:

The Office of Congregational Development has worked diligently with the Board of Congregational Development (BOCD) over the last two development seasons to establish a more robust vision, new practices, new policies/guidelines, and strategic foundation for the work of new church development, as we strive to create new places for new people. Many of these resources are contained in the newly created “Northwest Adventure” document, which is our New Church Development Process Booklet, issued to all planters (new and existing) on July 1, 2016 (updated annually). A core guiding value for doing this work in the annual conference is “disruptive innovation,” which challenges status quo, while elevating the need for: doing church differently in the 21st century; embracing lean startup strategies; stewardship of funding; leadership development; and reinserting an expectation of multiplication — all supporting our efforts to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. At the end of 2015, we had continued the support of 15 new church development projects. During the first half of the 2016 appointment season, we ended a total of three projects and transferred one from BOCD to Cabinet. The three projects that were ended were not meeting the required benchmarks and had not achieved financial sustainability. The remaining ongoing projects that have been supported through direct funding and resourcing, up through the 2015/2016 appointment year, included the following:

1. El Dios Viviente (Seattle District) — ongoing 2. First UMC of Canada (Puget Sound District) — ongoing 3. Good Seed (Tacoma District) — 2009 4. Valley and Mountain (Seattle District) — 2010 5. God’s New Generation, East Campus (Seven Rivers District) — 2010 6. Evergreen (Tacoma District) — 2010 7. New Harvest at Toppenish (Seven Rivers District) — 2014 8. Beguine Again Online (Seattle District) — 2014 9. Mt. Vernon Hispanic (Puget Sound District) — 2014

10. The Well (Seattle District) — 2014 11. God’s New Generation, West Campus (Seven Rivers District) — 2015

For the 2016/2017 appointment year, we launched 10 new church projects. This was the largest number of new projects launched since this work became a strategic initiative of the annual conference. These new projects included the following:

1. Connexion/New Start (Tacoma District) — 2016 2. Create Commons/New Start (Tacoma District) — 2016 3. Fircrest/Repurposing (Tacoma District) — 2016 4. Redeemer/Restart (Tacoma District) — 2016 5. Capitol Hill/New Start (Seattle District) — 2016 6. Bothell Northeast Multisite/New Start (Seattle District) — 2016 7. Highline/Burien/Repurposing (Seattle District) — 2016


8. First Vancouver Multisite/New Start (Vancouver District) — 2016 9. Sunnyside Hispanic/Repurposing (Seven Rivers District) — 2016

10. Okanogan Hispanic/Repurposing (Seven Rivers District) — 2016 During the 2016/2017 appointment year, we have worked to develop a total of seven projected new church projects for the 2017/2018 appointment year. These “projected” new church projects include the following:

1. Bellevue Pan-Asian/Multicultural/New Start (Seattle District) — 2017 projected 2. Burien/New Start (Seattle District) — 2017 projected 3. Orting/Repurposing (Tacoma District) — 2017 projected 4. Walla Walla/Grace/New Start (Seven Rivers District) — 2017 projected 5. Audubon Park Multisite/New Start (Inland District) — 2017 projected 6. Community Multisite/New Start (Inland District) — 2017 projected 7. Filipino/Multicultural/New Start (Vancouver District) — 2017 projected

As previously mentioned, at the start of the 2015 appointment year we had 15 ongoing new church projects on the ground. During the 2015/2016 development cycle, we ended three of those existing new projects and transferred one out of the care of the BOCD to the Cabinet. This resulted in the 11 ongoing projects for the 2015/2016 development year. We learned that we need to end projects sooner in their life cycle if they are not meeting benchmarks. As reported in the preceding paragraphs, the projects that were ended during 2016 are as follows:

1. Friedenskirche Peace Church/New Start (Seattle District) — ended May 30, 2016 2. Sky Prairie/New Start (Inland District) — ended June 30, 2016 3. Auburn Hispanic/New Start (Tacoma District) — ended June 30, 2016

The project that was transferred to Cabinet supervision was as follows:

1. La Palabra Viviente Hispanic/New Start (Puget Sound) — April 5, 2016 From the 2015/2016 appointment year to the 2017/2018 appointment year, we are projected to almost triple in the number of active new projects on the ground. This is creating a steep trend of growth in new church development projects that are planned to result in financially sustainable, chartered churches. We are projected to have 28 projects to manage on the ground during the 2017/2018 appointment year, plus the added development work of that same cycle. While the steep trend is seen as fruitfulness, it also presents added challenges that expose capacity concerns (human and financial) in balancing the ongoing “development” of new projects with the ongoing “management” of existing projects. Such a challenge is a welcomed problem to solve, as we continue to find alignment with the strategic initiatives of the annual conference, in our efforts to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, by creating new places for new people. NOTE: The scope of my work extends across the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area, to include all three annual conferences — PNW, Oregon-Idaho, and Alaska. While we are projected to have 28 active projects on the ground during 2017/2018 in the PNW (plus ongoing development), the total number of active projects across the area requiring management and resourcing actually reflects the following:


- Pacific Northwest — 21 existing, 7 projected in 2017 = 28 total projected - Oregon-Idaho — 7 existing, 5 projected in 2017 = 12 total projected - Alaska — 1 projected in 2017 = 1 total projected - Total projected active project for 2017/2018 appointment year = 41 total projected*

(*This total does not include projected projects for a 2018 start. If the current trend continues, on July 1, 2018, we could have a total of 52 new church projects on the ground across the Greater Northwest Area that require resourcing/management, while we are also continuing to develop new projects. Oregon-Idaho and Alaska projects are funded (launch and ongoing resourcing) by those annual conferences, and developed and supported by my office.)

Again, the unfolding trend represents momentum and fruitfulness, while at the same time it adds challenges that expose human and financial capacity issues, when considering how to both balance the ongoing “development” of new projects with the ongoing “management” of existing projects. Consequently, we are looking to expand our team accordingly, while maintaining effectiveness and efficiency. This confirms the strategy of our emerging Greater Northwest Area office for the collaborative work of congregational development, which has come out of ongoing joint resourcing across all three of our annual conferences.

What recurring challenges do you see?

We have all heard for a number of years how that The United Methodist Church is declining in America. We have experienced this decline over the last couple of decades to a greater degree here in the Northwest than others have experienced it closer to the Bible Belt. The Greater Northwest Area also, while competing with the Northeast for this title, is referred to as the “None Zone,” where more people check the “none” box under religious affiliation. Dr. James Wellman, of the University of Washington, claims that 60% of all folks in the Greater Northwest would be considered “Nones” (roughly 30% unchurched) or “Dones” (roughly 30% disconnected). Statistically, the Northwest has a population of 29% “Nones.” In other words, we have more people outside of Christian community than inside in our churches. However, it should be noted that the fastest-growing area for the religiously unaffiliated is the Southeast, where the number of “Nones” has grown from 8% in 2007 to 20% in 2014. The first challenge we face in our efforts to cultivate vitality and fruitfulness in our churches is to come to grips with the reality that the decline is real. It is so much easier to live in denial and think about the good ol’ days, instead of facing the challenges before us and making the decision to change. Old models and ways of being church do not resonate with those who have decided that church is not relevant anymore. Yes, there are a ton of points that could be argued here as to why more and more people are opting out of Christian community. However, it is safe to say the decline in church membership is not only real, but also we have to discover what it looks like to be resurrection people, which does, indeed, first present the reality of death. How do we face death with a new sense of hope for life? New Church Development is an explicitly stated priority of the Pacific Northwest Conference (see the vision page of the annual Funding Ministry and Mission Outreach publication for reference): “engaging people in new and revitalized faith communities” and one of the four areas of focus of The United Methodist Church: “creating new places for new people and revitalizing existing congregations.”


Our work strategically intersects three annual conference (Alaska, Oregon-Idaho, and PNW) and general church priorities, challenging us to embrace this work as part of the leading edge for our denomination. We have worked extraordinarily hard over the last year in order to become more effective and efficient in our efforts. This has led us to create ways that will help us prioritize our efforts in the Greater Northwest Area. One of those ways involved a challenge to the Greater Northwest Area Cabinet to have the District Superintendents examine the number of church closures over the last many years to look carefully at current trends of decline and to face the reality of possible church closures over the next 10 years. The examination revealed an expected result: We cannot plant enough churches fast enough to offset those we will lose. At the same time, projections of new church projects revealed a surprising offset in fruitfulness and financial capacity to continue to multiply. The early learnings are:

1. The data helps us determine a more intentional and strategic approach to how we integrate the work of revitalization and new church development, through strategic models such as our hybrid refocusing/repurposing.

2. How we come along side churches more strategically who are in rapid decline. 3. How we link heritage and legacy to the way in which we birth new life (resurrection) in new

projects — creating new places for new people. 4. Finding the healthy balance between the current (and necessary) pace of developing new

church projects with the need for strategic repurposing work with some of our most qualified existing churches.

5. How we expand our ability to implement, manage, and continue to do this work effectively. What are we doing well? Where and in what settings?

Over the last two development seasons, we have experienced a 250% increase in the number of project launched in 2016/2017, and we are projected to see a 200% increase for 2017/2018 over previous year trends. We believe the current momentum is the result of newly aligned resources and policies with the strategic initiatives of the conference to plant new churches that can reach new people. The goal of these named projects is to produce financially sustainable, vital, new churches that intend to multiply in year six of their life cycle, while contributing back to the annual conference, by way of apportionments, in order to continue the work of launching new churches. We celebrate that Valley & Mountain (Seattle District) is expected to charter during 2017. This work has found appropriate balance in our efforts to launch new places for new people, while integrating strategies for revitalization that foster new growth. In the last two development seasons (2016/2017 and 2017/2018), we have launched 18 new projects in the Pacific Northwest Conference alone. Of these 18, six have employed our hybrid refocusing/repurposing strategy for the revitalization of existing churches that can offer new life, while three additional churches were targeted in Seattle as part of the district’s Southend Union revitalization strategy, which brings the total to nine for revitalization work. We see our greatest measurement of effectiveness birthing from the manner through which we clearly define the expectations related to this work. In 2015, we redefined our language from “new faith communities” to “new church development” and “new ministry development,” in order to clearly define expectations, how we measure success, how we strategically support our work, and how we fund projects.


Our targeted outcomes for new church and leadership development can be articulated through the words innovation, multiplication, and inclusion, in what we desire on the local church level (new and repurposed/revitalized congregations) toward the activity of making disciples. While our primary focus in this season has been to establish new churches that are financially sustainable, we also desire to foster vitality in existing churches that have the capacity for cultural shift, through hybrid repurposing work. Path1 and the Western Jurisdiction recently issued new descriptions that represent three categories of new ministries that we work to foster across the Greater Northwest Area. These categories offer deeper clarity on the work of launching new churches (new church development), while simultaneously defining the expectation for existing congregations to work in proactive ways to reach new people outside their walls and faith communities (revitalization). These three categories are as follows: A New Church is a project that intends to become an independent congregation that will be self-governing and self-funding, and will provide for its own leadership (and can be initiated by an existing church or churches). Further, it: • worships regularly and celebrates the sacraments • has effective systems for making disciples of Jesus Christ • receives new members • anticipates chartering as an independent congregation or existing as an additional physical site

of an existing congregation • participates in Tithe+ giving and apportionments A New Faith Community is a project of an existing congregation, individual, or team to create a new worshiping and disciple-making community. It is distinct from creating an alternative worship service in an existing congregation due to its focus on reaching those outside of any existing church. Further, it: • worships regularly and celebrates the sacraments • has effective systems for making disciples of Jesus Christ A New Place for New People is a smaller project of an existing congregation, individual, or team to create a new opportunity for those outside of any congregation to encounter a disciple-making practice. Further, it: • involves some sort of regular community-building activity • has access to effective systems for making disciples of Jesus as part of its own practices or in

partnership with an existing congregation We see the work of new church development and revitalization more strategically integrated and working in collaboration rather than in ministry silos. This allows for greater efficiency and effectiveness in resourcing and supporting these initiatives, while at the same time it embraces the values of team collaboration. Not only are we pursuing alignment with the strategic initiatives of the annual conference, but also we have been working to strategically align our staffing and expertise in order to support and measure the effectiveness of our efforts. Over the last season, this is reflected through the deliberate work of raising the bar of expectation in our annual conferences. One of the most important tools we have created to initiate and track new church development projects is our 5-year Baseline Funding Model. This new model allows us to be better stewards of our conference funding sources, while clearly underlining the expectations of our new church projects and assessed church planters.


The funding model accomplishes several objectives by way of setting clear criteria toward measuring effectiveness. They are summarized through the following:

1. Presents a bell-curve funding stream designed to offer the most support in the appropriate season.

2. Requires the planter to engage in fundraising work as an early exercise to sharpen the tools needed to do this work.

3. Provides a basis for the planter/pastor to craft a giving narrative that can be integrated into teaching and vision-casting.

4. Ramps up our new churches toward paying a full share of apportionments earlier in the development and lifecycle (starting in year six).

5. Fosters multiplication with an incentive of direct access to shared giving funds set aside by the new church over the first five years (approximately $63,000) to be used to fund the first year of the new expansion site.

6. Includes a stop-loss mechanism that allows for the option to end the project in year three (earlier rather than later) if the new church is not tracking with set benchmarks and expectations.

7. Provides a pathway toward financial sustainability for the purpose of making more disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

What trending needs or opportunities do you see?

In addition to funding strategies, we are also assessing, equipping, and resourcing our planters and new church projects through unfolding resources, strategies, and ongoing training. These areas are highlighted through the following categories: Resources:

Adventure” a. This process booklet includes all the resources, policies, procedures, contacts, etc. for

all ongoing new church development. The booklet is also updated with new policies, procedures, and tools each year and reissued in a new edition each July 1.

1. Theological Entrepreneurship 2. Ministry Plan Development 3. Measuring Ministry & Metrics 4. 5-year Baseline Funding Model 5. Syndeo Cohort Covenant Agreements 6. Administrative and Financial Support 7. Primary New Church Development Strategies 8. Multisite Development 9. Assessment Process for Planters 10. Roles & Relationships Defined and Assigned 11. Additional Resources


Strategies: 1. The Syndeo Project: A strategic foundation — a cohort-based strategy that promotes

collaboration, shared resources, and a team approach. We are no longer doing new church projects in isolation.

2. Multisite Strategies — ways to foster multiplication through effective and efficient ways of discovering what it looks like to be the church in the 21st century.

3. The Art of Theological Entrepreneurship — equipping those gifted with an entrepreneurial spirit and providing new tools for doing this work in innovative ways.

4. Cultural Analysis — understanding mission field engagement through a cultural lens, while embracing intercultural competency.

5. Hybrid Repurposing Model — a new model that uses repurposing as a strategy for new church development.

6. Lay-led Planting Initiatives — we have initiated and gained traction in the area of lay-led church planting and will continue to refine this strategy.

7. The Expectation to Multiply — vital organisms multiply. Churches should, too. Period. Training:

1. Multiplying Ministries — in October 2016 we launched our pilot Multiplying Ministries cohort, which consist of half high-capacity pastors and half church planters. The program is designed to foster cross-pollination between the groups, while equipping our pastors with tools designed to develop leaders and reintroduce the expectation of multiplication into our discipleship systems and plans to plant more churches out of vital churches. This program integrates the work of new church development and revitalization. The program includes six instructive gatherings and eight support coaching calls, and results in an 18-month plan to implement on the local church level. The program is led by Brian Zehr of Intentional Impact.

2. First 12 — a new Path1 training for new church plant pastors that provides the necessary tools and strategies to cultivate and gather the first 12 leaders needed to support the planter in this work. This includes a year of coaching support.

3. LaunchPad: Church Planter Training — a Western Jurisdiction training for planters and their teams who are ready for launching their ministry into the next phase.

4. First Step: New Church Leadership Training — a Western Jurisdiction training that helps pastors discern if church planting is something they are truly called to do.

5. Multiethnic/Multicultural Church Planting Training — a new Path1 training that equips pastors to develop and plant intentional multiethnic and multicultural churches and ministries.

Recruiting:

1. UMC LEAD: Leadership and Innovation in Today’s Church — a conference where we find some of the most gifted young clergy who are looking to discover what vital church looks like in the 21st century. LEAD has yielded quality recruits for new and existing churches in the Greater Northwest Area.

2. Exponential and Exponential West: Multiplication in Church Planting — a conference geared toward multiplying new churches. We have been fruitful in developing recruiting relationships through these conferences. In 2017, in both Orlando and Los Angeles, Rev. Dr. William D. Gibson will co-lead two workshops on multiplication in church planting with Brian Zehr.

I believe the most compelling story that continues to unfold is the noticeable momentum we continue to experience in the work of new church development. This has produced a 225%+ annual increase over the number of projects in previous years, and continues to gain traction. The advantages of being on the


leading edge of a “movement” is that we get to shape the trajectory, while at the same time filtering and testing a larger emerging vision. Personally, my work has focused on establishing a more solid foundation for how we support this work, while at the same time more clearly defining the expectations, policies, procedures, tools, and resources. All of this is designed to form a healthy ecosystem for planting new churches in the Greater Northwest Area. Added benefits of our current momentum can be highlighted in two areas:

1. Sparking cultural shift on the local church level and in the wider cultural context, raising expectations and helping people rediscover hope and what is possible, with God’s help.

2. Sparking a “culture of call” that plays into the current recruiting streams that are developing inside our conferences and across the whole of Methodism. Word is getting out that if you feel called to help discover and shape what church can be in the 21st century, the Greater Northwest Area is the place to be.

Our more macro-level goal is to embrace the abundance of opportunity to reach new people by developing new places, in a part of the country where no greater opportunity exists — the None Zone.


WESLEY HOMES REPORT TO THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE For Wesley Homes, this year has been monumental in terms of growth and change. Today and in the future, our market demands superior care and a wide range of services. People are reaching out for lifestyle options that that help them continue to be engaged with “life”. They expect more and are looking at Wesley Homes to lead. Over this last year, we have seen the following: ü Our new Rehabilitation and Care Center in Auburn is NOW OPEN and serving that area of King County.

This business has been well received by this appreciative community.

ü Ground has broken, demolition has begun and wonderful new accommodations are springing up all around the south side of the Des Moines campus. We are welcoming new residents at this time – people who are excited about becoming part of caring, active, engaged communities. We will continue to watch this major development over the next five years.

ü Wesley Homes has received the Certificate of Need and is now moving forward with building its own Hospice program. We view this as a great blessing to those we serve. Being able now to provide this offering to those we serve allows for cohesive transition for those under our care.

ü At the beginning of March, we broke ground on a new Wesley Homes community in Puyallup – Wesley Homes Bradley Park. It has been uplifting to be embraced by the Puyallup community as this development helps to fill a need within that community. It is also rewarding to know that the reputation of Wesley Homes precedes us as we move into other locations. We are thankful for those who have come forward in support of this project.

ü We continue to move forward with another development in Renton. Again, it is heartwarming to see the support coming from this community – people know Wesley Homes. This property adjoins that of a local Lutheran church. This church shares some excitement with us as we discuss possible partnering on land and facility use, as well as possible program sharing in this project.

We applaud the hard work of our staff, board members, our corporation members, and the support of our residents and friends of Wesley Homes. We greatly value your partnership and prayers, and welcome each of you to join us!

CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON YOUTH MINISTRIES The Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCOYM) team is a group of youth and adult volunteers

from all across the pacific northwest annual conference, selected to be on this volunteer team. We represent youth on wider boards and committees of the Annual Conference, share information about district and conference youth events, and plan a Conference Wide youth event called CONVO. This year the team included youth members from across the conference that met three times this year in order to make what we do possible. The Executive Team of this body met for an additional two meetings for continued planning, and discussion on the future regarding youth ministry.

This year our team has pushed for engaging our local youth communities and created a new executive position to help the team reach into the communities of the local churches more. We wanted to help the youth of our conference learn and become more involved in the United Methodist Ministry, not only locally but globally. Another one of the things we do as a team is plan an event called CONVO. This year our team chose to hold CONVO back at the University of Puget Sound on Memorial Day weekend.

CONVO is the largest youth event of the year for our Annual Conference. Hundreds of youth and adult youth workers gather for three of music, prayer, fun, learning, and growth. The CONVO chairs and the team worked hard throughout the year to plan CONVO 2016. CONVO 2016 was held in Feb and the theme was “Inside Out: See yourself as God sees you”. We focused on, questions, doubts, failures and identity. Something everyone struggles with along their faith journey. We had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Mark McMurry, from Manito UMC. Planning ahead to CONVO 2017 we are heading back to the University of Puget Sound on Memorial Day weekend. The theme chosen for 2017 was “Boldly Go and Make a Difference.” We selected Chelsea Spyres


as our speaker. Chelsea was one of the young adults who gave the young people’s address at General Conference and she is the Director of Christian Formation at St. Matthew's United Methodist Church in Bowie, Maryland. She will be helping us focus on how to go out and make a difference in our family, church, community, and world. We choose to do all of this to create and establish a culture within our community of youth working to help fulfill the mission of the United Methodist Church, to create disciples of Jesus Christ and to call to action these youth to change the unique and special worlds they live in. Thank you for your support of youth in local churches and around the conference.

Brianna Smith, President

CCOYAM This year the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries, or as we have been calling it, the Young

Adult Ministries (YAM) Council has been working on how they can best serve the young adults in our conference and best support them in finding opportunities in our conference. The YAM Council has been using the Mission Statement adopted two years ago to guide our efforts.

Mission Statement Our mission is to strengthen the young adult ministry in the local churches and districts of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church so that they may live the Gospel in a way that inspires young adults to transform the world. Explanation This means not only resourcing and communicating with local churches and their districts but also acting as a multifaceted resource for young adult individuals and groups. We are advocates for the free expression of the convictions of young adults on issues vital to them, and initiate and support activities, projects, and fellowship opportunities that are of particular interest to young adults who are college students, working persons, single, and married.

We do this by assisting and resourcing members of local churches so that they feel prepared to receive young adults who come through their doors and also to include them in the life and structure of the church. In addition, we identify ministries and organizations with ministry potential and guide them to evaluate the needs of young adults in their greater communities. We also help young adults find churches and ministries that fit their gifts and needs through events, small group gatherings, and by fostering intergenerational relationships. A key component of this is creating and maintaining bridges between the beginning and end of young adulthood.

We cooperate with the boards and agencies of the annual conference and the global church, including Wesley Foundations, United Methodist-related campus ministries and chaplaincies, in assisting young adults through life transitions, and receiving recommendations from and making recommendations to the same to provide the needs of young adults in The United Methodist Church. We advocate for young adults through invitation and encouragement of self-advocacy in these and other larger bodies of the church by ensuring that all existing representative spaces for young adults are filled, such as at Annual Conference, and advocating for the inclusion of Young Adults where representation is not observed.

We have been working on compiling resources for young adults to help them discover communities and opportunities around our conference at local churches. We are sharing these items via our PNWUMC website. We are also in the midst of planning a half day long retreat for young adults across our conference to connect, conference, and grow together. Through listening to a keynote and attending workshops, we hope to allow spaces where young adults can learn and grow in faith. We are so grateful for the ongoing interest and support of the conference toward our initiatives, and hope that through this new work young adults will continue to be a priority in our communities.

BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to

do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God. – Micah 6:8 CEB

The work of the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church is to advocate the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the church and society. As Christians, we are called to bring healing, justice, and love to our broken hurting world. Our social principles guide us as United Methodist to speak out on societal concerns and work toward a society that provides justice for all. The PNW Conference Board of Church and Society seeks to provide resources for biblically based social justice to our local congregations, as well as connect them with the resources of the General Board.

We determined four areas of focus of the board for this quadrennium, which are Climate Justice; Systemic-Racial Oppression; Economic Justice; Engagement with the parish – helping the parish engage the issues.

However, due to the current political climate of the country, we have found ourselves compelled to focus on immigration issues this spring. We are coordinating trainings for this Annual Conference which focus on immigration issues. These trainings are as follows:

• Stories to Call us to Christian Action • Immigration 101: What you need to know • Building and leveraging coalitions to support immigrant communities • Sanctuary 101 • Nuts and Bolts: Standing in Witness • Nuts and Bolts: Speaking Truth with Power. • Bystander Training • Sanctuary Training Our Peace with Justice Coordinator, Richenda Fairhurst, went to stand with the people at Standing Rock in

September. Several others from the Annual Conference went as well. Their experience was documented somewhat on our Facebook page.

Back in 2014, the board decided to grant an award to Nueva Ecija Home for Girls in the Philippines. There were problems getting the funds transferred, and this year we were able to follow through with this commitment. $3000 was given to support the purchase of a vehicle to transport abused women and girls safely to and from court appearances.

The Conference Board seeks to be a two-way link between the General Board and the local churches in the PNW. We are working to find ways to accomplish this. So far we have implemented an active Facebook page and a web page that is linked from the PNWUMC page. We encourage all local churches to have a social justice advocate or church and society focal point, per ¶ 252.2 in the 2016 Book of Discipline. Without a specific contact person in the local church, the PNW Conference Church and Society Board has no way to reach the local churches in a timely manner to address advocacy needs and opportunities relevant to their District, our Conference, National, or Global concerns.

This year sponsored Rev. Emma Donohew and Rev. John Wang for the Young Clergy Forum in Washington, D.C. John reflects on his experience saying, “…I plan to educate the church about our social principles and utilize the resources of the GBCS. Our partnership and connection as United Methodists globally allows us to expand our love for God and neighbor. Thanks be to God!”

CBGM REPORT UMW Conference Education & Interpretation

I was invited to attend the PNW Conference Leadership Summit in September 2016 in Vancouver, WA. Representatives from the various working areas of the church were there to participate with planning for church priorities for the upcoming quadrennial. I was asked to chair the committee meeting of the Conference Board of Global Ministries where we crafted 3-word themes to describe mission objectives that might guide our work.

I participated in a conference call with other CGBM committee members in December 2015 during which we interviewed a prospective missionary for Nicaragua. The applicant, Desiree Segura-April, is the wife of a current missionary, Osias Segura-Guzman. She was commissioned in May 2016 and works to assist with her husband’s mission by leading the Children at Risk Ministries there.

Dr. Segura itinerated in the Fall of 2016 in the Pacific Northwest Conference. She now is sponsored by several local churches in a covenant missionary relationship.

Mission u works with our GBGM missionaries when their itinerations bring them near to Ellensburg, WA, in the summertime. In 2016, Katherine Parker, missionary to Nepal, taught a course in Environmental Justice. Her videos showed how global warming impacts the high mountain regions of the Himalayas where water is scarce in the summer.

Janjay Innis, a Global Mission Fellow for GBGM, previously served as a US-2 at Tacoma Community House. She currently advocates for young adults in the Missionary Services unit. During Mission u 2017, Janjay will be teaching a course on the topic of Living in Covenant Community. We’ll be delighted to see her again.

JAMAA LETU ORPHANAGES (JLO) HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN OF AFRICA (HFCA)

The ministry of the two orphanages called Jamaa Letu (“Our Family” in Swahili) is a ministry of the Pacific Northwest Conference and the South Congo Conference of the United Methodist Church since 1999. The orphanages were established and are operated by the UMC of Southern Congo in the city of Lubumbashi with major funding from our conference. Partnership of PNW and South Congo Conference What does it mean to be in partnership with a conference and an institution on another continent? Both parties of the partnership grapple with this. Each are important ministries but with different roles. After more than two years of work which included face-to-face conversations with the Board of Trustees in DR Congo, a groundbreaking Cooperation Agreement between the two conferences was signed by the two bishops during General Conference 2016. The Orphanages The number of children and teens living at the two Jamaa Letu Orphanages varies between 60 and 75 as new children become residents, a few children are placed in private families and young adults go to the university. At the end of 2016, the Director of the girls’ orphanage, Rev. Francine Muteteke Tshisola, reported 36 children and teens. The Director of the boy’s orphanage, Paul Naweji, reported 24 boys. This a lower number than last year at the same time because of the number of residents who are now newly enrolled in university studies. All of the children have poignant and sometimes violent stories which led to them being cared for by the church in the two orphanages. Four toddlers and infants were brought to the girls’ orphanage by government officials in mid-2016. One toddler-age boy was brought to the boys’ orphanage. All were abandoned by their parents. Reports and photos show children who are thriving in their new environment.


The Students As the children become teenagers and then young adults, they are ready for college or vocational training. It is our commitment to them that, if they pass the all-important final exam at the end of their final year of secondary school, we will provide funds for their post-secondary education. Twenty-one young adults are presently studying at universities. Twelve new students joined the nine previously enrolled. One student graduated during 2016, the second former JLO to graduate. Blessings Claudine, who was the first graduate, leads a quarterly meeting of the students. Financial support: Sponsorships and Scholarships, Jars and local support The Pacific Northwest Conference is the primary source of funding for operations of the two orphanages. Local support in the Congo, both money and in-kind donations, is increasing each year. Several small donations are received from other conferences.

Sponsorships of residents: The most significant source of funding is sponsorships by churches and individuals with a suggested amount of $493 per year. Many donors round the figure up to $500. Any amount helps with the support. There are multiple sponsors for each child/teen and the funds are pooled to benefit all of the residents. The name of the child/teen, a photo and biographical information are given to sponsors. The number of children and teens sponsored by local churches varies from a few dollars to twenty-one sponsorships.

‘Jars for Jamaa Letu’ is an offering typically taken between Easter and Annual Conference. An attractive and charming label is available on the website for download. This offering is an important source of funding for the two orphanages. Education Scholarships: The cost per year for a student’s education is roughly $4,000. This includes all their expenses for they have no families to assist financially. Donors are invited to make this possible through Education Scholarships, with a suggested amount of multiples of $500. One donor has funded an endowed scholarship and another donor is funding the full five-year cost for a student. There are no other sources of funds for the students.

Gift certificates: A program for alternative gift for Christmas gifts was developed, including a downloadable gift card. This is now expanded to provide an avenue for gifts throughout the year (birthday, anniversary, promotion, etc.) with a nice gift card downloadable from the website. 2016 General Conference The Pacific Northwest Conference and the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area hosted a dinner at General Conference for the delegates and others from the South Congo/Zambia Episcopal area, including several who are directly related to the orphanages as trustees or staff, and for attendees from the Pacific Northwest Conference. Sixty Congolese and thirty from the PNW and Oregon-Idaho conferences participated. The bishops from both conferences shared remarks, Blessings Claudine Nyota shared her story, David Valera prepared a video of the relationship, Mainsa Daiman of Zambia Annual Conference led group singing, Rukang Chikomb of the South Congo Conference interpreted, PNW conference staff helped host and with technical support. The Cooperation Agreement was signed by the two bishops, Grant Hagiya and Kainda Katembo. Missionaries United Methodist missionaries play an important role in the connection between the two conferences. Fresie Chikomb is assigned half time to the boys’ orphanage. Her husband Rukang, a missionary pilot, is an active volunteer with both orphanages. Roman Hofer, a missionary from Switzerland, brought business administration skills to assist the orphanage staff greatly. He and his family have returned home at the end of their term. A new


missionary from Switzerland, Jean-Paul Dietrich will have similar responsibilities when he arrives mid-2017. Jeff Hoover manages the education scholarship funds and brings decades of experience in the Congo to assist many aspects of the ministry in Lubumbashi. He and his wife, Ellen, intend to retire in September.

The visit of Blessings Claudine Nyota in May and June had a large and positive impact. She spoke at two events during General Conference, at the PNW annual conference and numerous local churches. She is a leader among the university students.

For more information, visit our website for photos of the residents, an updated brochure, a ‘Jars’ label, a gift card for donations and additional information along with letters from missionaries.

Thank you for your faithful support. Barbara Dadd Shaffer, chair

UMVIM DISASTER RESPONSE COORDINATOR YEAR END REPORT The major focus for 2016 for the UMVIM DRC has been the Okanogan recovery effort. In partnership with the UMVIM Coordinator, Ronda Cordill, we have recruited and coordinated 27 Volunteer in Mission teams comprised of over 270 volunteers. Most of the volunteers were from our own Conference but we also had volunteers from Oregon, California, Arizona and Oklahoma. We have helped build 23 homes destroyed in the 2014 fires and we are helping build 7 homes destroyed in 2015. The Okanogan County Long Term Recovery Group (OCLTRG) estimates there are at least 23 more survivors eligible for assistance and it will take until at least July of 2018 to complete all of the homes. Our efforts to help with the recovery have required me to make multiple trips to the Okanogan and participate in conference calls on a regular basis. Financing the rebuild is a major challenge. The State of Washington did not receive a presidential declaration for individual assistance for either fire. Therefore, all rebuild funds must come from grants and donations. UMCOR has provided $380,000 in grants. I have been actively involved in raising funds through the Board of Laity’s Rebuild: Up from the Ashes project. The goal is for each District to raise enough funds to build a complete house estimated to cost $90,000. Over the past year, I have given nine presentations at local churches; co-hosted three Lay Leader Immersion trips to the Okanogan area; given presentations at two District training events and one at the Leadership Summit; participated in numerous meetings and conference calls; and provided materials for District and church lay leaders to use in their efforts to raise funds. Since July, this project has raised over $70,000 toward the $540,000 goal. As the PNW UMC representative to the Washington Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (WAVOAD), I have attended six general meetings and six leadership team meetings. I have also acted as the WAVOAD Okanogan Rebuild Subcommittee Chair and facilitated three WAVOAD partner’s meetings to determine the level of support each partner can provide for the rebuild effort. I was also invited by the Washington State Emergency Management Division to give a presentation at their Disaster Response Reservists meeting to inform the group about what we, the United Methodist, can contribute in the event of a natural disaster. Early Response Teams are key to our ability to respond quickly in the event of a disaster. Recruitment and training are essential to maintaining a cadre of qualified responders. This year I taught five basic and/or refresher classes in the PNW and OR-ID conferences. We are fortunate to have Kathy Bryson join our Disaster Response team as the Early Response Team Coordinator and UMCOR certified ERT trainer. She brings a wealth of energy and creativity to our ERT program. I have been certified by UMCOR as an ERT trainer evaluator for


the Western Jurisdiction. I will be authorized to evaluate and certify new ERT trainers. Kathy Bryson was my first evaluation and I am scheduled to evaluate Becky Platt from the OR-ID Conference in February. Hurricane Matthew slammed into the East Coast in November causing major damage along the coast line. North Carolina sent out an appeal for ERTs to help with their relief efforts and we were able to respond with an eight person ERT with member from the PNW and OR-ID Conferences. The team spent five days on the Outer Banks of North Carolina mucking out houses and helping a survivor salvage their furniture and their belongings. This is a true example of reaching out and responding to the needs of our fellow Methodists across the country. I also believe it is an investment. When we need help from our neighbors, maybe they will remember when we responded to their appeal for help. 2017 is shaping up to be another busy year. The Western Jurisdiction will hold our third Disaster Response Academy in March, the PNW will hold an ERT Spring Training event at the Lazy F camp in April and we will continue to recruit and coordinate volunteers for the Okanogan. Hopefully Mother Nature will be kind to us and allow us some breathing room to recover from the fires.

UMW (UNITED METHODIST WOMEN) United Methodist Women in our Conference continue to be very active in the Conference and in the

community. They work hard to raise funds to fulfill their Pledge to Mission which supports over 300 mission agencies in the U.S. and around the world. Total Mission giving to National UMW was $115,779.74. They also support their Conference, Districts and local unit activities/missions. These dedicated UMW organized auctions, yard sales, holiday fairs, bazaars, food sales; and offered delicious dinners. Their bake sales are to die for! United Methodist Women were also found advocating for the safety of women, children and youth as they worked with groups against human trafficking and eradicating homelessness. They are also very active in mission work in their community: making and distributing prayer shawls and quilts for women and children in need, running clothing banks, creating community gardens to provide food for the community, and assembling UMCOR kits , just to name a few!!! UMW provides an annual Leadership Development for all their membership. An Annual Meeting is held every year to bring all United Methodist Women together for worship, education, advocacy and fellowship. This year’s Annual Meeting will be at Spokane Valley UMC, October 13-14, 2017. Sharon Priddy, UMW National President, will be keynote speaker with a theme of “The Gift of Love”. All women are welcomed!

UMW Endowment Fund has reached over $75,000 and is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2017. Interest was used for scholarships to UMW and UMC educational events. Mission u continues to be an annual cooperative event with CBGM and is well attended. Dates: July 12-13, 2017 at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. Missionary Conferences of the United Methodist Church in the United States will be taught by Bishop Mary Ann Swenson. All are welcome! Scholarships are available. UMW National is currently promoting UMW 150 Anniversary by sharing our personal legacy stories. The Legacy Fund is a national fund that supports the ministry of UMW worldwide. UMW will celebrate 150 years (started in 1869) of mission work with women, children and youth in 2019. With the current UMW membership nationwide, it has been calculated that If every UM Woman gave $18.69 a year for five years, we could raise over 70 million dollars by 2019!!. Estella Wallace, Ellensburg UMC, was elected a National Director and Chair, Finance Committee. Noriko Lao, Linden UMC, was elected for her second, four-year term as member of the National Program Advisory Group. UMW continues to support Tacoma Community House and Atlantic Street Center. UMW also offers Annual Retreat opportunities for women. Quilts will again be collected at Annual Conference time. They will be displayed and distributed to children at risk in the Vancouver community. Thank you to all the churches that


brought quilts. A total of 266 quilts were donated in 2015! UMW participates in all Conference Events! Thank God for United Methodist Women!!

Marilyn Wudarcki, Conference President and District UMW Presidents

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

United Methodist Women is a community of women whose Purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church. Our vision statement is “turning faith, hope, and love into action on behalf of women, children and youth around the world. The mission priorities for the quadrennium are: Climate Justice, Economic Inequality, Maternal and Child Health, and Criminalization of Communities of Color and Mass Incarceration. Several UMW women in the conference have received training in these areas are interested in sharing their experience and knowledge with other groups. The Pacific Northwest Conference is indeed proud to have two National UMW officers. Estella Wallace, Ellensburg UMC, was elected a Director at Western Jurisdiction in Salt Lake City and subsequently elected as Chair of the National Finance Committee. Noriko Lao, Linden UMC, was elected for a second four-year term on the Program Advisory Group. Both of these women are very, very active in their roles at the National level as well as in the conference and locally.

UNITED METHODIST MEN Even as you read this at the Annual Conference Sessions there is still time to attend the 12th National

Gathering of United Methodist Men at St. Luke’s UMC in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 7 and 8, 2017. All UMM members should have received information since at least March with agendas and workshops and the wonderful speakers that will be there, including Bishop Swanson, president of the GCUMM serving the Mississippi Conference, and Bishop Holston serving the South Carolina Conference.

The great potential of United Methodist Men in the Pacific Northwest Conference continues to be realized in many local churches. Every local church should have a chartered unit of UMM. Can you imagine the difference that would make in the life of the local church and the Conference? There would undoubtedly be fewer church closures. UMM units are a major encouragement for men to become more involved in the mission of making disciples for Christ. One UMM goal is to grow in Christ so others may know Christ. Another is to declare the centrality of Christ in every man’s life. Members make a commitment to personal growth in their spiritual life, attend worship regularly and support their pastor in prayer and service.

Current chartered units are supporting their local churches and their members in living up to that commitment. Annual retreats are an important part of that support and there is more room at our four Conference Campsites for those activities. UMM supports our youth through all levels of Boy Scouting and other youth serving activities such as Girl Scouts, Campfire, 4-H, and Big Brother/Big Sister are also worthy of UMM sponsorship. We encourage that participation.

We look forward to additional service at all levels of our Conference through additional participation and additional leadership. This goal needs the support of both laity and clergy to make it a reality.

LAY SERVANT MINISTRIES Working with Discipleship Ministries, the Annual Conference Directors of Lay Servant Ministries (ACDLSM) submitted proposed legislation to the 2016 General Conference, with the goal of better defining the roles of Certified Lay Servant, Certified Lay Speaker and Certified Lay Minister. All the proposed legislation was passed by the General Conference.


One piece of that legislation provided that the Certified Lay Minister program is now under the umbrella of the Lay Servant Ministries program. This has consolidated all of the lay ministry education in one place, providing better coordination of these ministries. ACDLSM is now in the process of working out processes and procedures to implement these new paragraphs in our UM Discipline. Here in the Pacific Northwest Conference, we welcomed Joan Holms as the new Seattle District Director. She hit the ground running and is offering a variety of courses throughout the District. Be sure to check the Conference Calendar to learn where these classes will be held. You may attend in any District when you see a class you would like and are able to attend. We are still looking for someone to take on the Seven Rivers District, and the Tacoma District now is in need of leadership. If you are a Lay Servant in either of these districts, please see me and let’s talk. New courses are available in the gathered classes, but on-line credit is available for several through beadisciple.com. Any class with the “Learning and Leading” logo has been approved for advanced credit for Lay Servants. Of the classes required for Certified Lay Servants, all but the Basic Course and the Preaching Course are available through our partnership with Be A Disciple. If you are interested in these lay ministry programs, please call me, e-mail me, or visit during Annual Conference. It’s wonderful training! Blessings!

ARCHIVES AND HISTORY COMMISSION’S

I am Jim Lewis and I am the chairperson of the Archives Commission ([email protected]). Donna Wilson is the Historical Society President ([email protected]). The Archives Commission maintains the archives of the Annual Conference and works on special celebrations for churches and pastors. We have three locations for the Conference Archives: The University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA; the East Archives at Central United Protestant UMC in Richland, WA; and the West Archives at The Bridge UMC in Tacoma, WA. We are currently examining issues of storage and how better to make our records more available for people to do research and get records electronically. This may take us years to accomplish with all the records we maintain.

An important note for additional research resources is the General Commission on Archives and History Center located on the campus of Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. It contains a spacious archival vault, museum, library and the administrative offices of the General Commission. The Center has a large collection of books, documents, records, photographs, and artifacts related to United Methodist history. (E-mail: [email protected] or Website: www.gcah.org) Each year at Annual Conference the Archives Commission recognizes churches that are celebrating their 50th, 100th, or 150th, Anniversary. This June we do not have any churches who are presently at one of these anniversary dates.

We also recognize pastors who have been ordained elders for 50, 60, or 70 years. Bo Bryan reports that this year we expect to celebrate Mel Finkbeiner who has reached his 70th year of his elders ordination. Two pastors, Ron Northrup and Tim Russell for 60 years. There are six pastors who will have reached their 50th year since their ordination as elders: Harry Garrison, Graham Hutchins, King Rockhill, Wally Snook, Yugo Suzuki, and Keat Yeoh.

The Historical Society works with historians and sells books at Annual Conference each year such as An Itinerant’s Career the memoir of the Rev. David G. LeSourd a missionary in Western Washington and There were Giants a book by Maurice Helland on “Father Wilbur” an early Methodist missionary in Western Oregon


and Eastern Washington. The Historical Society holds its annual meeting during one of the meals at Annual Conference each year and members are invited to attend. We encourage local church historians to research and write their own church histories as well as keeping historical records for the congregation. We also hope that some of you are doing a ministry of memory with writing or recording the history of church members.

LEGISLATION REITERATION BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY RESPONSE

May 4, 2017 To Shirley DeLarme PNWAC Conference Secretary In August, the PNW Board of Ordained Ministry received a letter from the Conference Secretary on behalf of the 143rd session of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference with a petition that was referred by the Leadership Development Focus Session and the body of the Conference as a whole to the Board of Ordained Ministry. The petition states: “Be it resolved that the PNWAC require ongoing, annual training and development related to gender, equity, and power dynamics for all members of the Appointive Cabinet and any Conference employees involved in investigating complaints against clergy.” The entire Board of Ordained Ministry has considered the request in the petition. The Board of Ordained Ministry does not have the authority/jurisdiction to require training of the appointive cabinet and conference employees. The Board of Ordained Ministry supports the importance of training and development around gender, equity and power dynamics. To show our commitment to these issues, the Board of Ordained Ministry commits to:

1. Requiring training of the PNW Board of Ordained Ministry focused around gender, equity and power dynamics this quadrennium. We acknowledge the power that the BOM holds and commit ourselves to learning and growing in this area.

2. Requesting this topic be on the agenda at one of the regular meetings between the Cabinet and the Board

of Ordained Ministry Executive Committee. Specifically the BOM Executive Committee intends to ask the cabinet what training they receive around gender equity and power dynamics; what the accountability structure is for the cabinet including the purpose, function and role of the Superintendency Committees and the Episcopacy Committee; what the feedback loop is for clergy and laity to their District Superintendents; and to encourage the Cabinet to address any gaps and to be transparent with the conference.

In Christ, Rev. Lara Bolger, Chair Board of Ordained Ministry, PNWAC cc: Dave Wright, Leadership Development Focus Session


LEGISLATION REITERATION

“CHURCH AND SOCIETY REP OR SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE REPRESENTATION ON THE LOCAL CHURCH COUNCIL”

Resolved: that ¶ 252.2.b) of the 2016 Book of Discipline be implemented in each local church of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference by each local church Charge Conference naming a Church and Society Representative or Social Justice Advocate who would relate to the local Church Council, be a contact for the Conference Church and Society Board, and be an advocate for Social Justice Ministries. Explanation: The 2016 Book of Discipline states in ¶ 252.2. under THE CHURCH COUNCIL section 2. Mission and Ministry b) “The outreach ministries of the church shall give attention to local and larger community ministries of compassion, justice, and advocacy. These ministries include church and society…”. The Conference Board of Church and Society is charged in the Book of Discipline ¶ 629. with responsibility to “maintain the connectional relationship between the General Board of Church and Society and the conference, district and local church….”. “relating the gospel of Jesus Christ to the members of the church…provide education and action on issues confronting the Church consistent with the Social Principles and policies adopted by the General Conference.” Without a specific contact person in the local church, the PNW Conference Church and Society Board has no way to reach the local churches in a timely manner to address advocacy needs and opportunities relevant to their District, our Conference, National, or Global concerns. A petition was supported by the 2010 PNW Annual Conference reflecting the above resolution but never fully implemented.

GENERAL AGENCY REPORT GENERAL BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND MINISTRY (GBHEM)

The agency launched a new mission and vision at the start of 2017. The updated mission and vision simplify our role as the primary leadership development agency for The United Methodist Church. MISSION Our mission is to lead and connect the educational and ministerial life of The United Methodist Church. VISION We will continue to transform the world through the power of education and ministry in the Methodist tradition. We will serve God and the worldwide Church in recruiting, nurturing, and educating lay and clergy leaders who seek wisdom and live ethically as God’s peacemakers. EDUCATION

The Collegiate Ministry Office at GBHEM hosted Imagine What’s NEXT, a three-day event for young adults ages 18-26 to discern their call of lay or clergy leadership and learn ways to connect that God-given call through the work of the church. Nearly 700 students participated in NEXT, an increase of nearly 40 percent from prior years.

The Young Clergy Initiative funds innovative projects across the church to attract young people to ordained ministry. The $7 million initiative has funded more than 75 projects. A biennial event, Exploration provides a platform for young adults ages 18-26 to hear, discern, and respond to God’s call to ordained ministry. In 2015, 475 attended Exploration. The 2017 event will take place in Portland, Oregon, November 3 – 5.

The agency has a Global Methodist Education Network that includes more than 1,000 institutions of higher education around the world. GBHEM supports Schools, Colleges and Universities across the U.S. The Schools, Colleges, and Universities Office at GBHEM hosted 30 of the school’s presidents at the CEO Meeting of the Council of Independent Colleges in Orlando, Florida in January 2017. In addition, the office hosted 35 presidents at the National Association of Schools & Colleges of The United Methodist Church (NASCUMC) winter meeting in Washington, D.C.

Global Education and New Initiatives at GBHEM provides technical assistance, financial support, scholarships and recruitment aids for five target regions across the globe: Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America,


Europe and the U.S. Global Education works with the United-Methodist related schools, particularly institutions of higher education and theology schools. In addition to schools, the office supports international and regional associations, as well as oversees the Methodist Global Education Fund for Leadership Development.

The Black College Fund invests in the hopes and dreams of those students attending United Methodist-related historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The Black College Fund distributes 95 percent (on average more than $9 million) of all funds received equally to the 11 HBCUs. The fund provides for faculty development, infrastructure maintenance, and for students who need financial support and scholarship, helping the HBCUs to keep tuition and fees competitive. The Black College Fund was pleased to announce that five of its HBCU’s enrolled 22 Hispanic students as part of the Latino student access program in 2016.

The agency works with the Commission on Central Conference Theological Education (CCTE) to distribute grants for the theological education of pastoral leaders in the Central Conferences. The 2012 General Conference established a $5 million CCTE fund, and more than 250 grants have been awarded across 22 countries to date. Due to its impact, the fund was doubled at the 2016 General Conference. New grant recipients were announced in March 2017.

In 2016, GBHEM’s Office of Loans and Scholarships awarded 2,025 students with more than $3.1 million in scholarships and 406 students with more than $1.9 million in loans. The loans and scholarships are open to United Methodist students and seminarians who are seeking to further their education.

GBHEM reestablished its publishing ministry in 2016 to engage, nurture, and advocate for the intellectual life of The United Methodist Church. Through this ministry, GBHEM produces academic resources for the constituencies of the agency, including single-author and multi-author works, as well as edited volumes. More than 10 new and revised books have been released under the publishing ministry. MINISTRY

In partnership with Discipleship Ministries, GBHEM provides e-readers to theological schools in remote areas of Africa and Asia, offering access to the latest textbooks and references books. The E-Reader Project has distributed nearly 1,500 devices to 22 theological seminaries, loaded with publications in English, French, and Portuguese.

Individuals pursing licensed and ordained ministry find the resources they need to overcome challenges and barriers sometimes encountered when responding to God’s call in GBHEM’s Candidacy Office. The office coordinated a successful Board of Ordained Ministry Quadrennial Leadership Development in fall 2016. In addition, the office revised the BOM Handbook following General Conference along with the conference relations resources for the 2016 Book of Discipline. The Candidacy Office is also developing an eight-year Clergy Assessment Process and GBHEM’s Effective Ministry Assessment (EMA) leadership development tool.

Course of Study and Specialized Theological Education provides resources for local pastors to gain the education and training needed for service across the church, with courses available in Spanish. The office launched Portuguese Course Study programs in 2016 and will continue to expand. GBHEM launched three new education options for part-time pastors in December 2016: an Extension of the Course of Study School of Ohio (COSSO) located at United Theological Seminary, a satellite Course of Study program with Saint Paul School of Theology in Hays, Kansas, and a pilot Escuela de Cursos de Estudios (ECE), a Spanish Course of Study, in Denver, Colorado.

Chaplains and pastoral counselors are credentialed through the United Methodist Endorsing Agency, which provides resources for chaplains and counselors serving inside and outside the walls of the church. UMEA supports those working in 25 ministry settings such health care, military, prison, workplace, marriage and family, specialized and more. The office is completing the second pilot initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid Clinical Pastoral Education program sponsored by GBHEM.

GBHEM leads clergy continuing education programs, providing resources for spiritual formation and professional development to help ensure an effective clergy for the church. Clergy Lifelong Learning provides an innovative platform for ministry through the multilingual UMC Cyber Campus. In addition, the office organized the 60th anniversary celebration of full clergy rights for women in August 2016 at the United Methodist Clergywomen gathering, which included 450 attendees from 27 countries, speaking six languages. This office continues to provide guidance in cross-cultural/cross-racial leadership development throughout the denomination.


The agency supports deacons and diaconal ministers as they lead the people of God into ministries of compassion and justice, and interpret the needs of the world to the church. The Office of Deacon Ministry Development and Provisional Membership led the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the “recovery” of full-member clergy deacons for the church. In addition, a new certification in parish nursing was created, and the certification in camping and retreat ministries was updated (in collaboration with Discipleship Ministries).

UNITED THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Where Dreams Take Flight United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, was founded in 1871 by Milton Wright, a Bishop in The

Church of the United Brethren in Christ and father of aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Wright brothers had a passionate dream of developing the first successful "flying machine." They experienced great difficulties, hardships and setbacks in achieving their dream. Through their determination and commitment, however, their dream eventually was fulfilled, and they were the first human beings to achieve sustained flight.

God often plants a vision or dream in someone's heart to become a full-time servant of Jesus Christ. In St. Peter's sermon on Pentecost, Peter quotes the prophet Joel who said, "God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts 2:17). When God pours out the Spirit on someone and calls them into ministry, United seeks to partner with that person in helping them to grow spiritually and intellectually in achieving their God-given call and dream.

In the fall of 2016, 418 students enrolled at United to answer God's call and vision for their lives.1 Our prayer is that God will use United to prepare these students to become faithful, fruitful and effective pastors and church leaders who make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. According to a recent survey, 86% of our graduates are either currently serving in local congregations or are retired from serving in local congregations.2 United alumni/ae are making an impact.

On January 1, 2017, United celebrated the beginning of a new partnership in ministry with Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO). United has become an extension site for the Course of Study School of Ohio located at MTSO, providing a convenient hybrid program for part-time pastors pursuing a local pastor’s license. Through United’s Course of Study, pastors experience a Friday-Saturday weekend on campus and finish coursework online over the weeks that follow. Courses are offered four times per year.

If you feel God calling you to serve in any form of Christian ministry, we encourage you to go online to united.edu to discover the option that fits your ministry and calling. May God bless you as you respond to God's dream for your life to serve in either the ordained, commissioned or lay ministry. Grace and Peace, Dr. Kent Millard President, United Theological Seminary Dayton, Ohio www.united.edu 1 Fall 2016 headcount of masters’ and doctoral students enrolled in courses. 2 According to the 2014 United alumni/ae survey.

CANDLER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY For more than 100 years, Candler School of Theology at Emory University has prepared real people to

make a real difference in the real world. Since our founding in 1914, over 10,000 students have graduated from Candler, where they have been shaped as thoughtful, principled, and courageous Christian leaders dedicated transforming the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

One of 13 official seminaries of The United Methodist Church, Candler is also one of seven graduate professional schools of Emory University, a top-tier research institution offering extensive resources and a rich context for study. Our location in Atlanta provides a learning environment that reflects the highly diverse communities of the 21st century. Simply put, there is no better place for ministry preparation that addresses our


major denominational priorities: developing leaders, starting and growing churches, ministry with the poor, and improving global health.

In order to keep pace with the needs of the church and the world, Candler offers 17 degrees: seven single degrees and ten dual degrees pairing theology with bioethics, business, international development, law, public health, or social work. One of our newest degrees is a Doctor of Ministry that is 90 percent online, so students can remain in their places of ministry as they study and apply what they learn in real time. We’ve also partnered with the University of Georgia’s School of Social Work to create an MDiv/MSW where students learn to maximize their effectiveness by combining pastoral skills such as spiritual counseling with social work practices such as family therapy and community assessment. Our student body continues to reflect the diversity and breadth of the Christian faithful. 475 students are enrolled, with 51 percent women, 34 percent people of color (U.S.), and a median age of 30. Students represent 39 denominations, with half coming from the Methodist family. 83 percent of students are seeking a degree to prepare them as ministry professionals.

Candler has a deep commitment to alleviating student debt and employs a multi-pronged approach to tackle this issue. In 2016-2017, we awarded nearly $5.75 million in Candler scholarships, with 95 percent of MDiv students receiving aid and the average scholarship covering 73 percent of tuition. Plus, our comprehensive “Faith & Finance” program teaches money management skills that serve our students now and will continue to serve them—and the churches they lead—well into the future.

In fall of 2016, Candler welcomed to the faculty Larry Goodpaster as Bishop-in-Residence, and Kendall Soulen as Professor of Systematic Theology. Also this fall, three Candler alumni began their terms as newly elected bishops in the Southeastern Jurisdiction: David Graves 90T in Alabama-West Florida, R. Lawson Bryan 75T 85T in South Georgia, and Sue Haupert-Johnson 95T in North Georgia. Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulfill our mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries in the world depends upon your support, gifts, and prayers. Thank you for the countless ways you advance this vital ministry in the life of our denomination. Visit us in person in Atlanta or online at candler.emory.edu to see firsthand how Candler prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world.

SAINT PAUL SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY www.spst.edu

Saint Paul School of Theology is a seminary of the United Methodist Church committed to the formation of people for innovative, creative ministry. We are one institution with two campuses, in Kansas and Oklahoma.

This past 2015-2016 academic year, Saint Paul enrolled 168 students from 15 annual conferences and 5 countries on both campuses. The Course of Study School at Saint Paul served 194 students in three midwest locations. Course of Study will expand course offerings to Hays, Kansas beginning Fall 2017.

Rev. Neil B. Blair became president of the seminary July 2016. Blair is a 1980 Master of Divinity graduate of Saint Paul and an ordained elder. He most recently served as the Executive Director for Institutional Advancement for the UM General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.

Saint Paul School of Theology and Oklahoma City University partnered to offer a 3+3 accelerated degree program. Under this arrangement, OCU students will complete 3 years of undergraduate studies in the pre-seminary track and begin their 4th year as an MDiv student at Saint Paul School of Theology. Students prepare for ordination/entry into ministry in six years instead of the usual seven, while earning both B.A. and M.Div. degrees. The accelerated program saves students time and money.

Saint Paul and The Academy for Spiritual Formation have partnered to offer a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Prophetic Witness and Service with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation. This is the first time a seminary has worked with The Academy for Spiritual Formation, a ministry of The Upper Room, to co-develop an advanced degree.


Saint Paul is also partnering with the Academy to host a 5-Day spiritual formation retreat with the theme “Draw the Circle Wide”. The summer retreat includes community and individual reflection about how spiritual disciplines help develop our listening and global language of love. Dr. Amy Oden, Professor of Early Church History and Spirituality, is a lead organizer.

Rev. Casey Sigmon served as a visiting professor in a year-long professorship as part of the Vanderbilt program in Theology and Practice. Sigmon co-taught a preaching class with Dr. Mike Graves this fall and a course entitled, “Preaching in the Digital Age” based on her dissertation research this spring.

Saint Paul now offers a Certificate in Theological Formation. The certificate is 24 credit hours of courses all taught by Saint Paul faculty. Classes may be completed entirely online or through a combination of online and on-campus offerings.

Dr. Angela Sims’ work in oral history preserves the memory of elder African Americans in her recently published book, Lynched: The Power of Memory in a Culture of Terror. Collaborative faculty books include Transforming Community: The Wesleyan Way to Missional Congregations by Saint Paul professor Dr. Hal Knight and Dr. F. Douglas Powe, Jr. and Coming Full Circle: Constructing Native Christian Theology by Saint Paul professor Dr. Elaine Robinson and Rev. Steven Charleston.

Saint Paul trustees, faculty, staff, and students thank you for your interest, prayers and support.

As BUSTH looks back on 2016, it celebrates transformational leaders who have loved God and cared mightily for God’s world. Their living legacy gives us hope and courage for the future. Blessings and gratitude,

Mary Elizabeth Moore, Dean

AFRICA UNIVERSITY REPORT

Africa University ended 2016 poised to celebrate its Silver Jubilee and eager to embrace new opportunities for transformative ministry over the next 25 years.

It is a great joy to recognize and thank the Pacific Northwest Conference for a 100 percent investment in the Africa University Fund (AUF) apportionment in 2016. The strong and very consistent support of local congregations in the Pacific Northwest Conference and indeed, across the Western Jurisdiction, gave the AUF its very best results to date. A total of 34 of the 56 United Methodist annual conferences in the United States invested 100 percent or more of their asking to the AUF in 2016.

The university community acknowledges, with heartfelt appreciation, the many ways in which the churches of the Pacific Northwest Conference have been faithful and generous towards Africa University over the past 25 years. In addition to their investment in the AUF, Pacific Northwest United Methodists have made ongoing contributions for scholarships and they have supported the development of academic programs.

Through Africa University, the Pacific Northwest Conference helps young people to discover and sharpen their gifts for leadership. Thanks to the selflessness of Pacific Northwest United Methodists, university’s 7,000+ graduates are helping to shape the global mission of The United Methodist Church. More than 90 percent of these graduates are still in Africa, serving communities in 32 countries. Currently, more than two dozen Africa University graduates are missionaries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe, serving under the auspices of the General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM). Young people who would otherwise be on the margins of society are actively helping others to experience God’s grace, peace and abundance.

Without Africa University, “I am sure that I would not have the mental maturity and spiritual growth that I have now,” said Albert Wakili, an AU graduate who is a Global Mission Fellow. Wakili is currently serving as a youth and children’s worker at Blanchardstown Methodist Church in Dublin, Ireland, one of the newest and


most ethnically diverse congregations in Irish Methodism. He plans to return to Nigeria later this year, when his two-year term with the GBGM ends.

Great things are on the horizon for Africa University in the next quarter century. Your Africa University is continuing to evolve and serve by:

§ Restructuring its academic units in order to remain relevant and provide a broader-based education to meet new demands in the African workforce.

§ Providing leadership formation experiences and learning for more than 1,400 students from 26 African countries.

§ Generating new knowledge and capacity to support peacebuilding and to improve food security, human rights, and leadership for the African continent. Africa University draws its mandate, energy and capacity to transform lives from The United Methodist

Church. Therefore, as part of the observance of the 25th anniversary, we invite the individual members, congregations and districts of the Pacific Northwest Conference to set aside time this year to celebrate their journey with Africa University. Engage in a season of daily prayer for Africa University. Join Africa University’s honorary alumni association. Consider hosting a special “AU@25” event or Africa University Sunday in your local church or area. Use your event to increase awareness of Africa University’s ministry and invite attendees to each give at least $25 each in honor of the 25th anniversary. Celebrate your role in making Africa University all that it is today and all that it will be in the future. Remember that regardless of the challenges that arise, United Methodists sustain this ministry together — praying, loving and sharing our blessings — and there is no other way that we could do it!

Thank you for your unwavering response to the call to active faith, hope, and renewal in the world. We pray that blessings continue to abound for all who serve in ministry in the Pacific Northwest Conference. James H. Salley Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement Africa University Development Office P O Box 340007 Nashville, TN 37203-0007 Tel: (615) 340-7438 [email protected] www.support-africauniversity.org


COMMITTEE ON ETHNIC MINISTRIES Did you know that your Church’s apportionment giving is making a difference in ethnic church ministries and providing help in reaching out to new ethnic communities?....

• TACOMA FIRST KOREAN is bringing the Gospel in a new way, adding staff to reach out to English-speaking Koreans (1.5 and 2nd Generation) and English-speaking spouses of Korean immigrants.

• PROJECT TRANSFORMATION, a summer literacy project serving low income children, a high percentage of whom are children of color, found its first PNW home in the Vancouver District.

• CREATE COMMONS, a new church ministry project in the Tacoma District, has developed a program designed to appeal to un-churched or de-churched younger people, many of whom are people of color.

These funds are comprised of....

NEW LIFE GRANTS, for Vital and Growing Ethnic and Linguistic Faith Communities allows the Commission to respond to the current needs in the conference, target its funding to the priorities of the conference for renewal of existing racial/ethnic faith communities, and expands or contracts its funding annually to better use accumulated reserves on an annual basis.

BEYOND THE DOORS, Mission Field Engagement provides a three-year grant for faith communities to employ a worker to coordinate outreach programs or do outreach work that invites racial/ethnic (persons of color) and linguistic communities (first language other than English) into relationship with the United Methodist Church locally. Beyond the Doors focuses on the mission field of the established faith community and supports the faith community in ministry beyond its doors. All ministries of the PNW Conference are eligible to apply.

In addition, your apportioned giving supports Leadership Development of ethnic leaders, lay and clergy, emerging and mature, for the mission of the church, to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World.

• Out of Conference Travel • for ethnic specific gatherings and professional development activities that take place outside of the conference

• Ethnic Youth Camp Scholarships • which this year allowed 29 ethnic young people to attend age-level camps

• Convo/Conference Youth Retreat Scholarships • which this year enabled 30 ethnic young people to attend Convocation

• Christmas Institute • where Filipino, Filipino-American, Filipino-Canadian young adults lead a 5-day retreat for junior and senior high youth

• Cultural Competency • providing funds each year to support intercultural communication for all ordained and appointed clergy and lay

• Hispanic Ministries in the Seven Rivers District • supporting GBGM missionary who coordinates Hispanic/Latino

Ministries half time in the Seven Rivers District and half time in the annual conference


• General Conference • the commission budgeted funds to insure that racial/ethnic lay and clergy from PNW could experience General Conference

• Caucus Support • which enables ethnic leadership gatherings for support, training and advocacy

In this Conference year 2017-2018, a new round of funding will begin, and new ministries reaching new communities in creative and inspiring ways, will be happening all around our Annual Conference.....

• At FOWLER UMC, a three year, Beyond the Doors grant will provide staff support to develop and outreach to the diverse (speaking Swahili, Arabic, Bantu and English!) and growing youth and young adult population both within and outside the Church, through the creation of a organized Youth Ministry program.

• At NEW HARVEST FELLOWSHIP UMC in Toppenish, a New Life grant will provide financial resources for The Harvest Your City Project - which will support three annual events in the community, introducing Jesus Christ to 1st - 4th Generation Hispanic/Latino, Native, Anglo and African America communities; New Harvest was also awarded a three year, Beyond the Doors grant that will allow them to financially support Issac Espinoza, a member of their Church with gifts for community ministry, who will administrate and coordinate The Harvest Your City Project.

• BREMERTON UMC was awarded a grant to support the vision of Rev. Marta Schellberg and her congregation, expressed through The Bilingual Intergenerational Worship Inclusivity Project. This project will bring together and bridge the European American, Asian/South Pacific Islander, and African American cultures of the folks both within and outside their Church, in the creation of an open, inclusive and expansive worship experience that will reflect the various cultural aspects of their multi-cultural faith community.

• A grant awarded to CENTRO PALABRA VIVIENTE UMC will allow Pastor Jose Pacheco and the members of his congregation to reach out and serve Hispanic/Latino persons in and around the three local elementary schools in the Mukilteo and Everett regions, by sponsoring two large community events for 1st - 5th graders and their families:one would be in the Fall, preparing the children as they head back to school, and the other would be around Christmas time - both of which would include games, activities, distribution of food supplies, providing meals, handing out Bibles, offering prayers and allowing folks to ask their spiritual questions.

• FIRST UMC OF CANADA, will reach out to the growing Filipino immigrant community in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, through a grant which will allow Rev. Bing Canlas and his congregation to continue and support a Saturday Fellowship and Worship, specifically designed to support and encourage those new to Canada who are seeking to incorporate their culture, with the culture of their new home, with the ultimate goal of introducing these persons to a Jesus Christ through their fellowship and activities.

Ethnic ministries and communities are being reached and enlivened in bold and exciting ways because of your Church’s faithful apportionment giving! And while this might appear that our work serves only ethnic churches and ministries, what we know and believe is that our Annual Conference and its churches are all ethnic ministries, as we each have ethnic constituents already represented in our churches, and each of us have ethic communities around us whom we can bless, and that can be a blessing to our churches, if we are truly ready to open our doors to the diverse expressions of culture and faith that they can offer to us! Our Commission and the ethnic leadership and ministries of our Annual Conference are ready to offer our advice and support for the projects and opportunities that you can dream of - that will enable our United Methodist Church in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference to experience a Pentecost moment of inspiration, that will bring forth new expressions of a Spirit-filled, dynamic Acts 2 faith community!

Please keep these programs, ministries and communities in your prayers, that the resources of our Annual Conference and the power of the Holy Spirit, will water the creative seeds of ministry visions planted by God through these faithful church ministries and leaders, and that vital fruit would be borne, and new life and faith would be nurtured, giving God glory and establishing more fully each day the Reign of God in the world. May it be so!

(AdoptedasAmended,Friday,June16,2017) HIV and AIDS EDUCATION TO DISPEL MYTHS

Resolved: that PNW Board of Church and Society will disseminate accurate and current information on HIV and AIDS to PNW Districts for use at District Trainings or forums of their choosing for the year 2018 with the intention that local congregations will hold similar informational sessions in subsequent years. Resources for such efforts can be obtained from the UMC Global AIDS Fund: www.umglobalaidsfund.com https://umgaf2014.wordpress.com/resources-2/. This education should be documented and reported at Charge Conferences no later than 2018.

Explanation: Ongoing education about HIV and AIDS is critical and needs to be provided by educational institutions as well as local churches. Myths about HIV and AIDS continue to circulate within The United Methodist Church and in society. The perpetuation of these myths can result in harm to and marginalization of people living with HIV or AIDS. It is important for those of us in local churches to welcome those living with AIDS and not inflict any level of stigma which might result in their leaving the church. The church should be expected to include, love and respect all people as children of God, not erect barriers to full participation in its life.

Our United Methodist Church 2017-2020 Social Principles ¶ 162. U) Persons Living with HIV and AIDS states: “Persons diagnosed as positive for Human Immune Virus (HIV) and with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) often face rejection from their families and friends and various communities in which they work and interact….All individuals living with HIV and AIDS should be

treated with dignity and respect. We affirm the responsibility of the Church to minister to and with these individuals and their families regardless of how the disease was contracted. We support their right to….full participation in the Church. We urge the Church to be actively involved in the prevention of the spread of AIDS by providing educational opportunities to the congregation and the community.”

4. Article XI, Amendments, (i) to strike the phrase “two-thirds vote of the Board of Trustees, with approval with approval by a majority of the members of the corporation present at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting called for that purpose” and replace it with the phrase “the vote of a majority of the Trustees in office”; (ii) to strike the phrase “Article III, Article IV, nor Article XII” and replace it with “Article III nor Article IV”; (iii) to strike “approval of” and replace with “written consent of the then-serving Bishop of”; and (iv) to add at the end of the sentence the phrase “or its successor conference”. FurtherResolved:ThattheTrusteesherebydirectthatthattheforegoingamendmentsto

Further Resolved: That, subject to the approval by the members of the foregoing amendments to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the Trustee approve and adopt Articles of Amendment, and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation in the form and substance presented to and reviewed by the Trustees.

Further Resolved: That the Bylaws of Wesley Homes be amended and restated as set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation in the form and substance presented to and reviewed by the Trustees, including matters as follows:

1. Article I, Membership, to strike this Article completely and replace it with: “There are no members of the corporation”.

2. Article II, Meeting of Members, shall be renamed Annual Meeting, In Section 1, Strike “of the members” in the first sentence. Strike the second sentence “At the annual meeting of the members, the members shall receive reports, elect Trustees, or conduct such business as comes before them.” Amended to read: “Election of Trustees shall take place at the annual meeting for that purpose and the successor Trustees shall be elected by majority vote of the full Board.” Strike remaining Sections 2-6 in Article II.

Corporation and in its corporate name, to execute and file the foregoing Articles of Amendment and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Washington Secretary of State, with such additions, deletions, and interlineations as the officer executing the same may in his or her discretion approve on the advice of the Corporation’s counsel, such approval to be evidenced by such officer’s execution or initialing thereof, and to take all other steps necessary or convenient to carry out the foregoing resolutions.

FurtherResolved:that,subjecttotheapprovalbythemembersoftheforegoingamendments to the Corporation’s Bylaws, the Secretary of the Corporation, is hereby authorized and directed, on behalf of the Corporation and in its corporate name, to execute and file the foregoing Amended and Restated Bylaws in the minute book of the Corporation.

Explanation: The Wesley Homes Board of Trustees respectfully requests the approval of these amendments for the following reasons:

1. To replace the corporate membership structure that no longer works effectively nor efficiently in today’s environment. Corporate membership has been declining over the years and finding interested individuals to attend the annual meeting is difficult. Only a handful of members attend, most of which are residents of Wesley Homes Des Moines and current Board of Trustee members. Achieving a quorum of 20 members would not be possible without the participation of the members of the Board.

2. To conform the language regarding the indemnification of director, electronic meeting notices, and other matters with the modern statutory standards as set out in the Washington Nonprofit Corporation Act.

3. To clarify and codify the independence of Wesley Homes for purposes of protecting the Conference from any liability arising from the Corporation’s actions, while at the same time maintaining Wesley Home’s historical spiritual ties with the Church.

4. The Article of Incorporation and By-laws listed above requires the approval of the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church to amend.

This request has been reviewed by legal counsel and approved by Bishop Elaine Stanovsky, the Cabinet, and the Board of Global Ministries.

Submitted by: Kevin Anderson, CEO, Wesley Homes, and Craig Parrish, former Conference

Treasurer and member of the Wesley Homes Board of Trustees. Adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 27, 2017.

PETITION#11

(Adopted,Friday,June16,2017)DISABILITYBENEFITS

Resolved: that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference recommends that the Wespath Benefits and Investments provide Comprehensive Protection Plan Disability Benefits for the Conference year 2017-2018 only if approved for CPP disability benefits by Wespath for: Richard Hargis and Lindsy Ireland.


DIVESTMENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS Resolved; that the Conference Board of Pensions transition their investments over a five year

period with Wespath Benefits and Investments where the conference board not knowingly make investments in funds with companies or entities whose core business activity involves the production of petroleum, natural gas, or coal. Core business activity refers to a company’s primary, or central focus of activity and is an essential element in the company’s economic success. A “core business” is one that accounts for 10% or more of a company’s revenue derived from the above mentioned products and/or services.

Explanation; The Conference Board of Pensions takes the directive from last years’ annual conference seriously with divesting from fossil free funds but recommends taking a more conservative approach that allows time to make sure the new investment funds produce the expected rates of return rather than divest completely by January 1, 2018.

The plan would be to invest 10% of equities ($859,000 as of March 24th) as soon as the Equity Social Values Plus Fund (ESVPF) opens through Wespath expected to be April 1st. An additional 10% of equities plus 20% of fixed income funds will be transferred January 2, 2018 to Wespath fossil free funds. Thereafter, the conference board will transfer 20% of investments each year on first business day of January to Wespath’s fossil free funds. The ESVPF will also not invest in specific companies identified as linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

PETITION # 13 (AMENDED) (ReferredtoCF&A,Thursday,June15,2017)

RESOLUTION TO RESTORE THE PRACTICE OF SHARING THE COSTS OF OUR WORK TOGETHER – amended May 2017

It is RESOLVED that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference shall not charge 'registration fees' or other fees from those expected, required, or invited to attend gatherings which are primarily in furtherance of the work of the Annual Conference, including, but not limited to, Sessions of Annual Conference, Leadership Summits, District Trainings and Committee/Commission work. This applies to both laity and clergy. The only exception to this prohibition is that a nominal ($10 maximum) 'reservation fee' may be requested to indicate a serious intent to attend the event.

It is further RESOLVED that the costs of running the Annual Conference be shared equitably among all members of the Annual Conference through Apportionments, rather than placing an additional financial burden on those individuals who are generously giving their time and energy to do the work on behalf of the rest of the members.

For purposes of this resolution: 1. 'Work of the Annual Conference' means the gathering of committees and task forces for accomplishing planning and implementation of our ministry. It does not include the actual attendance at program events such as summer camp, Mission U and Convo; 2. 'Reservation fee' does not included charging for services actually provided to individuals, such as housing or meals. It does include charging participants for group expenses such as room rentals and facilitators, which charges shall not be passed on to participants.

RATIONALE: We rely on the generosity of both clergy and lay people to give generously of their time, skills and talents to do the work of the Annual Conference. Prior to the last 15 years this was understood and appreciated. Unfortunately, over the last two decades, we have increasingly lost an appreciation of what it means to be the church, let alone a connectional church. We have increasingly


AC

TIO

NS

adopted the worldly practices of charging individuals for the gatherings as if we believed that we were offering people some sort of entertainment.

This practice increases the burden of accepting positions, especially for those who need to use vacation hours to attend the gatherings and for young adults who are particularly challenged by the current economic realities. And then we wonder why it is so difficult to get younger people involved in this work.

We need to be the body of Christ, and to be SEEN to be the body of Christ by rejecting the worldly practices of greed and individualism; and restore our practice of true connectional practices.

PETITION # 14

(ReferredtoRulesCommittee,Friday,June16,2017)RULE VII, SEC. 3 (D) CHANGE

Resolved that the minimum apportionment for a newly chartered church be set by formula by BOCD using the models they have developed that reflect both the current context and emerging new ministry models.

Rationale: The evolving context in the PNW and our desire to adapt by experimenting with new ministry models makes a single, rigid formula cumbersome and restrictive. The BOCD is ideally situated to make and keep our formula current and adaptive to changing environmental shifts.

The current suggested model for New Church Starts begun in 2016 and later would be as follows as a percentage of income:

The current suggested model for New Church Starts begun in 2016 and later would be as follows as a percentage of income: Year 1 0% Year 2 2% Year 3 3.5% Year 4 6.25% Year 5 10% Year 6 Full share Chartering is likely to happen during year 6

The Shared Giving collected up until chartering is held in escrow to fund multiplication out of that new church.

For chartering churches that were started prior to 2016 the proposed model is as follows: As a new church looks to organize and constitute, it has to show financial sustainability. As a guide,

the numerical size of the congregation should consist of approximately 75 to 125+ in average worship/participation. There should be an appropriate number of leaders for UMC approved board/leadership structures, systems of governance, and good financial protocols in place.

There must be a budgetary plan in place supported by an appropriate number of committed giving units, which support the ministry focus of the church’s work in the greater community it is “charged” to serve. Except in rare occasions, which require approval, the budget must support the salary, pension and insurance, and general operating expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance, maintenance, etc.). The budgetary plan must also accommodate the projected payments of apportionments, which will ramp up over a period of four years in the following targeted percentages (percentages of annual budget):

• Year 1 – 3% (first full year organized, beginning January 1)

• Year 2 – 6.5%

• Year 3 – 10%

• Year 4 – 14% (representing an approximate full share)

REDUCE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS Resolved that the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference reduce the number of districts from six to

five in 2018. Note: Per the Book of Discipline ¶415.4, the responsibility of determining the district boundaries is determined by the Area Bishop.

Rationale: Between 1999 and 2009 we closed 14 churches. From 2010 through next month we will have closed 23. The Conference budget has been reduced from $6.4M in 2002 to $5.3M today. Full time Appointments totaled 209 in 2002 and are at 148 today.

The chart below shows how unbalanced the districts have become over the years through the closure of ministries. The current imbalance needs to be addressed and the Bishop and Cabinet recommend the west side be reduced by one district and re-aligned to more efficiently supervise all the ministries.

PETITION # L-1 (Adopted, Thursday, June 15, 2017)

AFFIRMING WESTERN JURISDICTION COUNCIL OF BISHOPS’ RESPONSE TO JUDICIAL COUNCIL AND THE WESTERN JURISDICTION’S COMMITMENT

TO INCLUSIVE MINISTRY Resolved: We, the People called United Methodists in the Pacific Northwest Annual

Conference, continue to be on a journey to fully welcome all of God’s beloved children to our life and ministry as part of the Body of Christ. We affirm, as stated in the Vision Statement of the Western Jurisdiction, that we are “A home for all God’s people, gathered around a table of reconciliation and transformation.”

Further resolved: We affirm the prophetic voice of the Western Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church in extending radical hospitality to all:

We cannot accept discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender persons and therefore, we will work toward their full participation at all levels in the life of the church and society. Valuing the voices of those who disagree, we will continue to be in dialogue as we journey together in creative tension. We will continue to be in ministry with all God’s children and celebrate the gifts diversity brings. We will continue to feast at table with all God’s children. (2000 Western Jurisdictional Conference) We open our doors to all persons regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, we open our hearts to those who have been shunned, we open our minds to radical obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even when at odds with The Book of Discipline, in order to further the work of God’s justice and the creation of the beloved community. As a Welcoming and Reconciling Jurisdiction we will take steps of inclusion in the sacred trust of marriage, ordination, and leadership roles for all. (2012 Western Jurisdictional Conference) Further resolved: We fully support our Western Jurisdiction College of Bishops’

statement in their May 4, 2017 pastoral letter in response to Judicial Council Decision 1341. We rejoice with them in celebrating “the good news that Bishop Karen Oliveto is continuing to lead the Mountain Sky Area of The United Methodist Church.”

Further resolved: We recognize, with our bishops, that “For many years, the Western part of the United States has been a refuge for LGBTQ persons from across the US and around the world. Our region is a place where they can live fully into who God has created them to be, free from discrimination, violence, and closets.”

Further resolved: With our bishops and fellow United Methodists in the Western Jurisdiction, we “witness daily the gifts and reflections of God’s grace in LGBTQ persons who faithfully serve among us as lay leaders, pastors, district superintendents, and now, as a bishop.” We affirm their belief that what we continue to witness “informs how we do ministry together” and “how Boards of Ordained Ministry approach their work.” We, in turn, are witnesses that the ministry entrusted to us “has been enriched by the fullness of their presence and participation.”

Further resolved: As a pilgrim people who rest only in the boundless grace of God in Jesus Christ, we will seek to walk together, even in the tension of our differences, and join our bishops in striving “to be a home for all God’s beloved.”

PETITION # L-2 (Referred to CF&A as Amended, Friday, June 16, 2017)

PETITION COLLEGE OF BISHOPS TO CONVENE SPECIAL WESTERN JURISDICTIONAL CONFERENCE

Amendment: To require a report back to Annual Conference 2018 of the findings by CF of costs and resources of the PNWAC to call a special WJ Conference.

Resolved: The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference petitions the Western Jurisdiction

College of Bishops to call a special session of the Western Jurisdictional Conference following the release of the report of the Commission on a Way Forward and prior to the specially called 2019 session of the General Conference for the following purposes:

1. To strategize ways of working together jurisdictionally at General Conference 2019; and

2. To prayerfully consider how we can most faithfully continue to be a home for all God’s people, gathered around a table of reconciliation and transformation in the light of the Commission’s recommendations.

Further resolved: We urge the Western Jurisdiction College of Bishops to appoint a special planning team that will: 1) consider creative ways of minimizing the cost of a specially called session; and 2) find creative sources for funding a specially called session.

Rationale: The Western Jurisdiction College of Bishops has declared in its response to Judicial Council Decision 1341:

We shall continue to pray for the work of the Commission on a Way Forward, as they lead us into a new vision for our life together as The United Methodist Church. Our church;

¶ 521.2 of The Book of Discipline 2016 gives the College of Bishops the authority by two-thirds vote “to call a special session of the Jurisdictional Conference when necessary.”

The Commission on a Way Forward will be bringing proposals to the specially called session of the General Conference in 2019 that may significantly change the identity and structure of The United Methodist Church; The Western Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church has long affirmed that God is calling it to be:

A home for all God’s people, gathered around a table of reconciliation and transformation: the Western Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church is multicultural and inclusive, engaged in the life of its communities, with confident, effective lay and clergy leadership who, in diverse ministry settings, form disciples who live out the Good News of Jesus as global citizens (Our Emerging Vision); The Western Jurisdiction College of Bishops has declared in its recent response to

Judicial Council decision 1341: We the people called United Methodist in the Western Jurisdiction witness daily the gifts and reflections of God’s grace in LGBTQ persons who faithfully serve among us as lay leaders, pastors, district superintendents, and now, as a bishop. Our experience informs how we do ministry together, how Boards of Ordained Ministry approach their work, and how we carry out our episcopal duties.


AC

TIO

NS

Our life together in Jesus Christ has been enriched by the fullness of their presence and participation. We recognize that we in the church have differing views of what full inclusion means. Even in the West we are not of one mind. Nevertheless, we believe Christ calls us to live and serve together as one even in our differences. Our Christian experience teaches us that God’s love is wide enough for all of us. It is not always easy for us to hold relationship with those whose understandings differ from us, but John Wesley encourages us to remember: “We don’t have to think alike to love alike.” There is much work to be done before we the church are able to love as Jesus has loved us.

We in the Western Jurisdiction will continue to be a home for all God’s beloved as we strive to be faithful disciples of Jesus the Christ.

A special session of Jurisdictional Conference allows us to best uphold these values as we

prepare for the 2019 special session of General Conference.

PETITION # L-3 (Adopted, Thursday, June 15, 2017)

AFFIRMING LGBTQI CLERGY Resolved: Collectively as members of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, we re-

affirm our baptismal vows “to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves,” especially when it exists in our own Book of Discipline and in rulings of Judicial Council.

Further Resolved: The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference aspires to live as the Beloved Community. We respond to God’s Great Commission to proclaim the good news to all people, and we intend to live into the reality of the beautiful, bold, diverse, and inclusive Body of Christ.

Further resolved: The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference upholds our denomination’s mandate to foster inclusiveness. “Inclusiveness means openness, acceptance, and support that enables all persons to participate in the life of the church, the community, and the world [and] therefore, inclusiveness denies every semblance of discrimination” (¶ 140 Book of Discipline).

Further resolved: The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference remains in support and in solidarity with all LGBTQI clergy persons; and with humility, integrity, and courage, we renew our commitment to continue affirming LGBTQI clergy persons in their calls to ministry, support them in their service to the church, and prayerfully work with them to transform all forms of institutional discrimination.

Rationale: The Apostle Paul reminds us, along with the church of Corinth, that we are all one in Christ, one body with many diverse and beautiful members: “Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot would say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear would say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ that would not make it any less a part of the body. As it is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor

again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” (1 Corinthians 12:14-16, 20-21).” None of us is dispensable and none of us is unworthy of full membership in the body of Christ or in the life and ministries of the church.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex clergy have made important contributions to our conference, faithfully serving churches in appointments, and have worked diligently and prayerfully “to create disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world,” bringing unique gifts and grace to the people they serve. In the course of following their call to minister, LGBTQI clergy have suffered psychic and spiritual harm because of discrimination by the very denomination they serve. The families and allies of LGBTQI clergy have also suffered psychic and spiritual harm. LGBTQI clergy have been made more vulnerable by institutional oppression through General Conference decisions in the last 44 years and the recent rulings of the Judicial Council. The decisions not only fracture the body of Christ and dehumanize LGBTQI persons, but do harm to the entire Methodist connection.

2016 GENERAL CONFERENCE

The United Methodist Church

Proposed Constitutional Amendment – I

On May 16, 2016, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Portland, Oregon, the following Constitutional Amendment was adopted by a recorded vote of 746 Yes, 56 No (Calendar Item 121, DCA p. 2106). It is now presented to the Annual Conferences for vote.

In the 2012 Book of Discipline, Division One, add a new paragraph between current ¶¶ 5 and 6:

As the Holy Scripture reveals, both men and women are made in the image of God and, therefore, men and women are of equal value in the eyes of God. The United Methodist Church recognizes it is contrary to Scripture and to logic to say that God is male or female, as maleness and femaleness are characteristics of human bodies and cultures, not characteristics of the divine. The United Methodist Church acknowledges the long history of discrimination against women and girls. The United Meth-odist Church shall confront and seek to eliminate discrimination against women and girls, whether in organizations or in individuals, in every facet of its life and in society at large. The United Methodist Church shall work collaboratively with others to address concerns that threaten the cause of women’s and girl’s equality and well-being.

If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, this would become the new ¶6, and the current ¶¶ 6-61 would be renumbered as ¶¶ 7-62.

Rationale: (New ¶ 6) The Constitution contains a paragraph on racial justice but not one on gender justice. The language of this petition is parallel to the language of Article 5 on racial justice already in our Constitution. It is an affirmation that, as part of our core foundational beliefs, this church will forever stand against any actions, organizations or individuals that discriminate or dehumanize women and girls anywhere on this planet.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment – II

On May 20, 2016, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Portland, Oregon, the following Constitutional Amendment was adopted by a recorded vote of 509 Yes, 242 No (Calendar Item 429, DCA p. 2212). It is now presented to the Annual Confer-ences for vote.

In the 2012 Book of Discipline, Division One, ¶4, Article IV, amend by deletion and addi-tion as follows:

After “all persons” delete “without regard to race, color, national origin, status, or eco-nomic condition”. After “because of race, color, national origin,” delete “status,” and add “ability”. At the end of the paragraph, add “nor shall any member be denied access to an equal place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church because of race, color, gender, national origin, ability, age, marital status, or economic condition.”

If voted and so declared by the Council of Bishops, ¶ 4 would read:

The United Methodist Church is part of the church universal, which is one Body in Christ. The Unit-ed Methodist Church acknowledges that all persons are of sacred worth. All persons shall be eligible to attend its worship services, participate in its programs, receive the sacraments, upon baptism be

admitted as baptized members, and upon taking vows declaring the Christian faith, become profess-ing members in any local church in the connection. In the United Methodist church, no conference or other organizational unit of the Church shall be structured so as to exclude any member or any constituent body of the Church because of race, color, national origin, ability, or economic condi-tion, nor shall any member be denied access to an equal place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church because of race, color, gender, national origin, ability, age, marital status, or economic condition.

Rationale: (¶ 4) Adding “gender” (meaning male and female) to the Constitution affirms and protects The United Methodist Church’s commitment to gender equity throughout our worldwide connection. “Gender” is the disciplinary term for fair treatment of women and men (e.g., ¶16). The addition of the proposed final clause allows gender-specific groups like United Methodist Women and United Methodist Men.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment – III

On May 16, 2016, at a session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church held in Portland, Oregon, the following Constitutional Amendment was adopted by a recorded vote of 767 Yes, 22 No (Calendar Item 111, DCA pp. 2105). It is now presented to the Annual Confer-ences for vote.

In the 2012 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 34, Article III, (2016 Book of Discipline, Division Two, Section VI, ¶ 34, Article III) amend by addition as follows:

After the first sentence, add, “Such elections shall include open nominations from the floor by the annual conference, and delegates shall be elected by a minimum of a simple majority of the ballots cast.”


The annual conference shall elect clergy and lay delegates to the General Conference and to its jurisdictional or central conference in the manner provided in this section, Articles IV and V. Such elections shall include open nominations from the floor by the annual conference, and delegates shall be elected by a minimum of a simple majority of the ballots cast. The persons first elected up to the number determined by the ratio for representation in the General Conference shall be representatives in that body. Additional delegates shall be elected to complete the number determined by the ratio for representation in the jurisdictional or central conference, who, together with those first elected as above, shall be delegates in the jurisdictional or central conference. The additional delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference shall in the order of their election be the reserve delegates to the General Conference. The annual conference shall also elect reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference as it may deem desirable. These reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conferences may act as reserve delegates to the General Conference when it is evident that not enough reserve delegates are in attendance at the General Conference.

Rationale: (¶ 34) The provision in ¶ 13. Article I. 2, “Delegates shall be elected in a fair and open process by the annual conferences,” is unduly vague. The addition of this one sentence to paragraph 34 of The Book of Discipline helps clarify that General Conference delegates shall be elected by the body of annual conference instead of simply being appointed by the bishop. Bishops appointing delegates without delegates being properly elected has been a practice in some central conferences.

TIO

NS

Proposed Constitutional Amendment – IV


In the 2012 Book of Discipline, Division Three, ¶ 46, Article I, amend by addition, as fol-lows:

To the end of the paragraph, add “provided that episcopal elections in central conferences shall be held at a regular, not an extra, session of the central conference, except in the case where an unex-pected vacancy must be filled.”


The bishops shall be elected by the respective jurisdictional and central conferences and consecrated in the historic manner at such time and place as may be fixed by the General Conference for those elected by the jurisdictions and by each central conference for those elected by such central confer-ence, provided that episcopal elections in central conferences shall be held at a regular, not an extra, session of the central conference, except in the case where an unexpected vacancy must be filled.

Rationale: (¶ 46) As is the case for the jurisdictions, episcopal elections in the central conferences should be held in the regular sessions of those conferences, except when unexpected vacancies occur because of the death or early retirement of one or more bishops.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment – V


In the 2012 Book of Discipline, Division Three, ¶ 50, Article VI, amend by addition, as follows:

After the last paragraph, add “These provisions shall not preclude that adoption by the General Con-ference of provisions for the Council of Bishops to hold its individual members accountable for their work, both as general superintendents and as presidents and residents in episcopal areas.”


The bishops, both active and retired, of The Evangelical United Brethren Church and of The Meth-odist Church at the time union is consummated shall be bishops of The United Methodist Church.

The bishops of The Methodist Church elected by the jurisdictions, the active bishops of The Evan-gelical United Brethren Church at the time of union, and bishops elected by the jurisdictions of The United Methodist Church shall have life tenure. Each bishop elected by a central conference of The Methodist Church shall have such tenure as the central conference electing him shall have deter-mined.94

The jurisdictional conference shall elect a standing committee on episcopacy to consist of one clergy and one lay delegate from each annual conference, on nomination of the annual conference delega-tion. The committee shall review the work of the bishops, pass on their character and official admin-

istration, and report to the jurisdictional conference its findings for such action as the conference may deem appropriate within its constitutional warrant of power. The committee shall recommend the assignments of the bishops to their respective residences for final action by the jurisdictional conference.

These provisions shall not preclude that adoption by the General Conference of provisions for the Council of Bishops to hold its individual members accountable for their work, both as general super-intendents and as presidents and residents in episcopal areas.

Rationale: (¶ 50) Judicial Decision 475 ruled unconstitutional the Council of Bishops holding its individual members accountable for their work, referencing ¶ 50 of the Constitution. This legislation follows Judicial Decision 1275 requirement of a legislative resolution from General Conference so the Council of Bishops may provide oversight of its members.

2017 PNWAC FINANCIAL REPORTS AND ACTIONS I-1

I. FINANCIAL REPORTS AND ACTIONSREPORT OF THE CONFERENCE TREASURER

The 2016 calendar year was once again an extremely busy one for the Treasurer’s office. From new church plants, to helping host General Conference, to Fire and Liability changes, there were legal activities, property sales, and Episcopal Area Resourcing to go along with our regular fiduciary activities.

Continuing in service to the Conference are Bruce Galvin, Benefits Officer, Pam Kaiser, Staff Accountant, Cathy Lang, Accounts Receivable and Building Manager, and Rik Jamieson, Assistant Treasurer and Benefits Officer. We had Nancy Kuch our Annual Conference Registrar and event planner retire after many years of service in that position. The team is very experienced and will continue to provide excellent service to the Annual Conference.

Shared Ministry apportionments at 93% which is the highest it has been since the mid 1970’s. Our Annual Conference paid 100% of General Church apportionments for the first time that anyone can remember. We thank you for your dedication to the connection

Of the churches that voted to discontinue their active ministry at Annual conference in 2016 all but one of the properties have been sold with the proceeds being held for the use of the Board of Congregational Development to fund the 8 new church plants we are launching in 2017. The Trustees have been engaging more directly with BOCD in resourcing their new ministry initiatives as well as caring for the assets currently in their care.

The Council of Finance and Administration has continued to drive the conversation of how to budget based on strategic missional priorities. This is leading us to a zero based budget model (boards and agencies will no longer have line item reserves) and new accountability criteria for Shared Ministry money spent. The proposed budget for 2018 will be the 9th time in the last 10 years that the Conference budget has decreased. CFA is proposing a budget that is about 1.0% smaller than 2017. The budget includes an increase of $70,000 to our New Church Start line item. The Board of Pensions reduced their ask by $25,000 and most of the rest of the savings came from the MSA portion of the budget and from the District Service Center.

Below is the computation of the ceiling rule (allowing a possible 1.28% increase) based on the increased spending by local churches.

PNW Conference Board of Pensions Introduction This is my first year of my second term serving as Chairman of the Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP). I have served on the board for 14 years, 8 as Secretary. The board meets twice a year, generally on the first Saturday of March and November, in addition to conference calls/emails throughout the year to address other issues as may arise. Our conference is expertly served by our Conference Benefits Officer (CBO), Bruce Galvin in his 42nd year with the Conference! Bruce is highly respected by Wespath, formerly the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBOPHB) in Chicago, and by other CBO’s around the country. He continues to bring thoughtful recommendations to the board and provides us with enough information to have vigorous discussions as a board and make what I always believe to be decisions in the best interest of the active and retired clergy we proudly serve. Members of this dedicated board include: Jeffrey Johnson (Vice-Chairman) Crystal Natland (Secretary) Sarah Achterhof Julleen Snyder Joyce O’Connor-Magee Jim Odiorne Bill Edom Marty Fortin, Jr. Dennis Magnuson John Weston Ilaise Folau Gloria Kymn Pam Brokaw Jenny Phillips Non-voting members: John Shaffer, Rik Jamieson, Brant Henshaw, Gregg Sealey, Barbara Hora (Wespath Conference Liaison) and Bruce Galvin. Pension Board Subsidies For many years the Board has provided subsidies to offset some of the benefit costs for local churches and pastors. Four years history is shown below. Endowment earnings have provided the following funds. 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017

(est) Churches Only Health Subsidy/Mission Church

$25,234 $7,577 $7,542 $7,838 $8,145

CRSP Subsidy $134,800 $75,589 $233,632 $71,500 $45,000

Active Pastors

HealthFlex Exchange Premium Support

$216,309 $218,079 $192,621 $173,720 $170,000

Medical Leave $24,090 $46,021 $59,091 $61,625 $54,200 Churches/Pastors(2016) Wellness Incentive $138,750 $161,250 $136,979 $15,600 $77,000 Retirees Health Subsidies $484,411 $110,094 $103,084 $123,536 $110,000 Total Subsidy $1,023,594 $618,610 $732,949 $453,819 $464,345 Wellness Incentive In 2016, we changed the wellness incentive of $1,000 to go direct to pastor’s Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). For the pastor to receive the incentive, they must participate in their own health care by taking the Blueprint for Wellness screening (blood tests), the WebMD Health Quotient health risk assessment, and accumulate at least 150 wellness points. The addition to the HRA occurred in early 2017 for successful participants. After careful consideration of usage and awareness of the incentive program, the board has decided to end the wellness incentive for 2018, so it will not be a line item in the 2019 budget.


HealthFlex Claims Performance Our conference Healthflex claims rate took a sharp upward blip in 2016 to 132%, due primarily to 7 large claims. Historically since 2011, when we switched to the Consumer Driven Health Plan, our claims had been averaging 71.4%, which is why we have received two performance dividends during that time period. The unusually large claims rate in 2016 has resulted in our first significant rate increase in a number of years. Our medical rates will increase on average 9.8% in 2018. Dental rates will decrease by 1.8% and vision rates will be unchanged. Even with the 9.8% increase the overall increases in rates from 2011 – 2018 is 20%. 2016 Financial Highlights: Balance Sheet / Operating Statement 2016 finished surprisingly strong after the election, so as a result, our balance sheet benefited from the late year surge in the stock market. As of December 31, 2016:

• Endowment Earnings of 7% • Apportionment Payments (Pension & Benefits) at 98.47% • Pension Reserve Fund: $3,774,290 • Clergy Retirement Security Plan Endowment: $9,401,279 • Conference Claimants Endowment: $2,246,319 • Health Endowment: $2,794,065 • Total Assets: $19,485,824

Our focus continues to be on building the Pension Reserve Fund so we can weather the inevitable down market years like 2008. CBO for Alaska Conference Bruce Galvin continues to be the CBO of the Alaska Conference as well as CBO of the PNW Conference. Apportionments In 2016 we received 98.47% of pension and benefits apportionments from the churches. Thank you for your continued strong support from all churches who paid their pension and benefit apportionments in full (all but 21 churches). Apportionments are required to pay health benefit premiums for retired clergy and other benefit costs as described earlier. The CBOP continues to recommend apportionment reductions for the Annual Conference budget. Our request to the 2017 Annual Conference for 2018 has been reduced by another $25,000, to $250,000. 10 years ago the pension and benefit apportionment was $675,000! Retirement So far this year fourteen clergy serving the PNW Conference have indicated their intention to retire during the 7/1/2016 to 6/30/2017 appointment year. We wish them happy retirement. See the list of those seeking retirement in the recommendation section (FF) of the preconference handbook. Retired pastor Rev. John Shaffer continues to provide capable leadership in ministering to retired clergy. He organizes and hosts the retirees luncheon at annual conference and has authored and sent retirees informative newsletters. He also attends scheduled meetings of the retiree groups throughout the conference. We once again thank John for his service. Past Service Rate The board has historically recommended an increase in the Past Service Rate for the pre-82 pension plan. The past service rate for 2017 is $725.81 or 1.14% of the Conference Average Compensation (CAC). The conference intends to maintain the PSR at 1.0% of CAC which is no longer required per action at General Conference in 2012. For the past few years the CAC has not increased by 3%; consequently a 3% increase in PSR through 2016 has gradually raised it above 1% of CAC to the benefit of retired clergy. Under 2012 General Conference legislation it is no longer a requirement to raise the past service rate but the CBOP recognizes how important this pension income is for those that retired many years ago. Since the 2017 PSR the annual increase is 2% to help keep pension benefits fully


Conference Trustees Annual Report With fewer churches closing this year than last, there has been some reduction in the pressure encoun-tered by the Conference Board of Trustees. Nevertheless, there have been some major properties sold and many more under contract requiring continuous monitoring. Some of the sales have involved residual endowments that required significant negotiations to support the desires of the closing church and the conference fiduciary respon-sibilities. The sales to cash buyers provided a good base of funds for supporting new church starts. Some of our older contracts are now approaching required pay off with “balloon” payments. In some cases, the buyer will not be able to negotiate a commercial mortgage to make that payment and we will be attempting to make acceptable extensions and modifications to those contracts. So far there has been only one situation that required foreclosure action. The episcopal residence has required some major repair of weather damage and end of system life. New windows have been installed and the irrigation system will be replaced. We will continue to work with Bishop Stanovsky to make the property more “livable” throughout the year. We will be looking for some new members of the Board again this year. There are still vacancies from the Inland District and another opportunity from either the Tacoma or Puget Sound Districts. We appreciate the extensive work done by Ric Jamieson during negotiations for the comprehensive Conference Insurance program. Local churches will need to make some decisions and provide some information to tailor the available coverage to their desires. Over all the premium increase was held to 3 to 5 %. There are some Conference owned properties in use by viable congregations with very limited con-tract agreements. We will be developing more detailed facility use agreements to delineate responsibilities of both the user and the conference. Special thanks again this year to our Treasurer, Brant Henshaw and his staff for superb support!!

Jim Russell

funded. The 2018 recommended past service rate is $741.00, or 1.14% of the CAC. Details of historical Past Service Rates are available from the CBO upon request. CBO Evaluation During our March 4th meeting, the Board of Pensions convened a voting member only session. We offered an opportunity for the CBO to bring concerns to the board and to offer our feedback to him. We offered our congratulations to our CBO, Bruce Galvin, for another great year of leadership. The Board authorized the Chairman to work with the conference office to make sure the Assistant Treasurer and other conference personnel as needed are cross-trained on Bruce’s daily duties. This is the first phase of succession planning for Bruce Galvin’s eventual retirement (no current time table is set or anticipated). We will continue to use an annual review process for developing and evaluating the progress on succession planning. The CBOP is renewing our contract with Bruce Galvin, CFP® and Revelation Financial Planning LLC for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 for $20,100.00 to be used to offer free financial planning to all clergy. Conclusion The market remains at historically high levels as I write this report. We remain concerned that this rate of market growth is unsustainable and we are “due” for some down years. Our mantra at the Board is to build reserves to weather the down market years and meet our obligations to the retirees now and in the future. The work of this Board will remain integral to meeting the retirement and health needs of the clergy in the coming challenging times. I again thank all board members for their faithful attendance and thoughtful deliberations and contributions.

Respectfully submitted by,

Carey B. Kolb, Chairperson Conference Board of Pensions

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Pacific Northwest Annual Conference Of the United Methodist Church Des Moines, WA

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position – modified cash basis, as of December 31, 2016, and the related Central fund cash receipts and disbursements – modified cash basis and the statement of cash receipts, cash disbursements, and other cash changes in net assets – modified cash basis, for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Pacific Northwest Annual Conference Of the United Methodist Church

Basis for Modified Opinion The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church has excluded the balance sheet and financial activities of a wholly controlled subsidiary, the Northwest United Methodist Foundation (the “Foundation”) that, in our opinion, should be included to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If this entity was included, assets would be increased by $44,524,119 and $44,524,130, and liabilities would be increased by $36,978,693 and $36,978,700, and net assets would be increased by $7,545,426 and $7,545,430, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Opinion In our opinion, except for the possible effects on the matter described in the Basis for Modified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information We have previously audited the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church’s 2015 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated July 11, 2016. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it was derived.

Other Matters As described in Note 1, these consolidating financial statements were prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information as listed in the accompanying table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not required parts of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other

Pacific Northwest Annual Conference Of the United Methodist Church additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2016

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference is the United Methodist Church (the Conference) is a regional body of the United Methodist Church representing 250 member churches and Conference organizations located within its geographic bounds of the State of Washington and Northern Idaho. The Conference is divided into six geographic areas, called Districts. The Conference is a legislative body which meets annually with equal clergy and lay representation from its local churches. The Conference operates with a centralized treasury, with the exception of the Foundation, where separate records of accounts are maintained. In order to maintain proper accounting for the many organizations, a system of fund accounting is utilized. The Conference, a Washington nonprofit, religious corporation, provides programs and support services to, and on behalf of, member churches. The primary business of the Conference is to carry out the mission of the Church in the above regions, which includes a wide range of activities such as credentialing clergy, camping, evangelism, church building development, investment management for local churches, and maintenance of clergy pension and benefit programs. The Conference also provides various services to its member churches including administration of retirement plans and health benefits available to member clergy and lay employees and the collection of funds for remittance to various regional, national and global benevolences. The program areas of the Conference are as follows:

Clergy support ministries, which include the credentialing, appointment, supervision, and other support for active and retired clergy within the Conference.

Local church support ministries, which include grants given to local churches to help them fulfill their mission and ministry within a local congregation and assist them in connection with broader missions.

Institutional support ministries, which include grants, provided to institutions that have a relationship with the Conference.

Fund accounting: To insure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Conference, the accounts of the Conference are maintained in accordance to the principles of fund accounting. This procedure by which resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their nature and purpose. The following is a summary of the funds adopted by the Conference: General Fund: The fund manages the Methodist Education Foundations, the Bishop’s Office funds, the fire and accident insurance fund and contingency reserves. Central Fund: The fund manages the remittance fund and benevolences. Board of Congregational Development: The fund loans money to churches in need and maintains money to develop new churches.

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont)

Board of Pensions: The fund collects pension payments from churches in the Conference districts and remits to the pension administrator. Board of Trustees: The fund maintains accumulated church properties, the Episcopal residence and the administration building and parsonages.

Camping Board of Stewards: The fund manages the three Conference camps in Washington (Indianola United Methodist Camp, Lazy F Methodist Camp and Ocean Park Methodist Camp) and one in Idaho (Twinlow Camp Assembly of the United Methodist Church, Inc.). Camp and Retreat Ministries: The fund provides the administration of the four Conference camps. Office of Connectional Ministries: The fund maintains the programs of the Conference: youth and ethnic ministries and the annual Conference. Ministry Fund: The fund, established in 2012, funds outreach programs. District Service Fund: The fund supports the administrative needs of the District Superintendents. Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. That basis differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America primarily because the Conference has not recognized unsecured amounts receivable from outside parties, unsecured amounts payable to vendors and employees, depreciation of fixed assets, and their related effects on the change in net assets. The following provides further detail on the treatment of selected accounts in the accounting records. Basis of presentation: The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the Conference, the seven Pacific Northwest Conference Districts and four Conference's Camps and Retreats. The Districts and the Camps and Retreats are combined due to common control by the Conference. All significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in the combined financial statements. The financial statements are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 958 Not-for-Profit Entities. The Conference is required to classify net assets and revenues, expenses, gains and losses into three categories, based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The categories are unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted net assets, as defined below:




11


Unrestricted net assets bear no donor limitations. The use of these funds is determined by the Board of Trustees. Designated, unrestricted net assets that are internally designated for a specific purpose of activity by the Conference. Temporarily Restricted net assets represent unexpended amounts which are restricted by donors for specific purposes. When a donor restriction expires, a stipulated time restriction ends, or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Temporarily Restricted- property and buildings net assets consist of property and equipment of the Conference. Permanently Restricted net assets represent unexpended amounts restricted by donors to be maintained in perpetuity, permanently restricted for designated use.

Contributions: Donor-restricted gifts which are received and either spent or deemed spent within the same year are reported as unrestricted revenues. Gifts of long-lived assets and gifts specified for the acquisition or construction of long-lived assets are reported as unrestricted net assets when the assets are placed in service.

Prior Year Summarized Information: The financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the Conference for the year ended December 31, 2015, from which the summarized information was derived. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Conference considers all highly liquid investments available for current use with original maturities of up to three months to be cash equivalents. The Conference has not experienced any losses related to this concentration. The Conference believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Cash includes deposits at three financial institutions which exceed federally insured limits.

Cash Receipts and Disbursements: The Conference maintains its accounting records principally on the modified cash basis, recording income when received and expenses when paid. To reflect cash receipts and disbursements in the appropriate budget period, the financial statements include certain transactions which occurred during the first two weeks subsequent to year-end and exclude such transactions for the similar period at the beginning of the year.




12


Investments: Investments are carried at fair value. The Conference participates in a pooled fund of investments held by Wespath Benefits and Investments and the Northwest United Methodist Foundation which owns units, or equities, and is stated at fair value. The pooled investments include money market funds, mutual funds, fixed income securities, and equity securities. Fair value is determined from readily available quoted market sources where available. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are computed based on the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as investment income is combined with realized gains and losses and reported as investment income. Notes Receivable from Local Churches, Real Estate Contracts Receivable and Valuation Reserves: The Conference provides building and operating loans to congregations on a periodic basis. Loans receivable are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and interest. The Conference reviews loan activity on a periodic basis and considers current economic conditions, historical loss experience and review of specific program loans and other factors in determining the necessity of an allowance for loan losses. Notes receivables which are evidenced by secured instruments are included in the financial statements. It is the policy of the Board of Congregational Development, in some instances, to make loans with terms providing for deferral of principal and/or interest payments. In certain instances, the Board has found it necessary to renegotiate loan terms or to convert loans to grants. Notes receivable of the Board of Congregational Development bear interest at rates ranging from 1% to 9%. Property and Buildings: The Conference generally does not record land and buildings as fixed assets on its balance sheet, with the exception of the fixed assets of the Camp and Retreat Ministries. Camp land and buildings, owned by the Camping Board of Stewards, are included in the financial statements at cost. No depreciation is provided. Other assets of the Board of Congregational Development include land purchased for new church sites of which the Board may at some future date grant all or part to local churches. The Conference holds approximately 315 acres of land related to its camps that were donated or otherwise acquired in prior years. In addition, the Conference holds one and two properties held for resale at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These properties are not recorded to the financial statements. Abandoned and Closed Churches: Such churches become the property of the Conference. The Conference also assumes any liabilities that an abandoned or closed congregation is unable to pay. Churches that become the property of the Conference are either sold, leased, or retained for future purposes. Upon the sale of a church, the funds are recorded to cash receipts.




13


Apportionment Revenue: The principal source of revenue and support is apportionments received from the member churches of the Conference. Apportionments are the recommended levels of support assigned to the churches annually. Apportionments are determined by the Conference based on church expenditures. The churches are asked to remit, in full, the amount of apportionment budgeted by the Conference, and revenue is recognized by the Conference upon receipt. Because of uncertainties as to collection, the Conference does not record as revenue church apportionments remaining unpaid at year-end, other than those collected during early January of the subsequent year. As the apportionments rely substantially on donations, continued support of church apportionments is (in part) dependent upon the economic conditions surrounding the Pacific Northwest regions. Camp Operations: The Conference operates four camps through its region. Camp sessions primarily occur in the summer. Revenue in records in the month of registrations and payments are received in advance of the camp session. As such, no receivables are recorded. Any revenue collected in the current year pertaining to a camp session for the following year is recognized as deferred revenue. Agency Accounts: The Conference Treasurer serves as a clearinghouse for numerous United Methodist organizations. This clearinghouse operation allows local churches to collect monies for such things as missionary support, disaster relief, campus ministries and other church supported organizations. The funds collected by local churches are remitted to the Conference Treasurer, which forwards these receipts to the beneficiary agency. Endowment Funds: The Conference and the Camp and Retreat Ministries, and the United Methodist Educational Foundation (General Fund) are recipients of gifts under which the principal is to remain intact in perpetuity and income is to be expended for restricted purposes.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Conference to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Conference maintains bank deposits in financial institutions which are federally insured, and other investing institutions which may not be federally insured, and values are subject to change based on market fluctuations. The exposure to concentrations of credit risk relative to the Conference’s investments is limited to the Conference’s investment objectives and policies which require, among other things, that securities be diversified, meet certain quality criteria and utilize only high credit quality institutions for investments. The investments are not insured for market risk. Income Taxes: The United Methodist Church, and accordingly, the Conference, qualifies for exemption from income taxes under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and similar provisions of state income tax regulations. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes in the financial statements. The Conference has implemented ASC Topic 740-10-25 (FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes) and has determined there is no impact on the financial statements. Conference-owned office equipment and camp facilities are exempt from property taxes. The Conference must file annually for continued exemption. The Conference pays property taxes

Note 1 - Description of Organization &Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont) on the parsonages of its district superintendents and the Episcopal Residence. Camp related food sales are subject to unrelated business income tax, and management has submitted tax returns to report such income tax liability. There were no taxes due for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Conference files information and tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and state and local jurisdictions. The Conference is subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for the current year and certain prior years based on applicable laws and regulations. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that can affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Subsequent Events: Management of the Conference has evaluated events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2016, through the date of this report, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no events and transactions that require recognition and disclosures in the financial statements. Note 2 – Investments The Conference has agreements with the Wespath Benefits and Investments (Wespath), the United Methodist Development Fund and the Northwest United Methodist Foundation (the Foundation) in which they act as agents and investment managers of the Conference’s investments as well as other organizations related to the United Methodist churches. A significant portion of these investments are pooled into larger investment funds of Wespath and the Foundation. Investments are comprised primarily of approved equity securities, fixed income and money market instruments in accordance with investment objectives.

Note 3 – Fair Value Financial Instruments The Conference reports its investments at fair value as described in ASC Topic 958 Subtopics 205, 210, 225 and 320, which establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework of measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurement of assets such as investments. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: inputs are based on unadjusted market prices with active markets. Level 2: inputs are based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or

liabilities in active or inactive markets. Level 3: inputs were primarily valued using management’s assumptions about

the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. In determining the fair value of instruments, the Conference uses various valuation approaches. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used:

Investments in pools, Wespath – Pools with Wespath, Health Flex, Conference Claimant’s, Conference Endowment, CRSP Endowment, DS Housing and Missouri Corporation Superannuate Endowment and are valued using the NAV provided by the administrator of the funds. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the funds, less its liabilities and then divided by the number of shares or “units” outstanding. (Level 1 and 2 inputs). Wespath also invests in the Multiple Asset Fund (MAF). MAF is a “fund of funds”, managed by more than forty different investment managers. These managers provide the fund with a board diversification of holdings is a variety of US and non-US securities. These include stocks, traditional bonds, inflation-linked bonds, real estate investment trusts, securities, commodities, and interest in private equity and private real estate partnerships (Level 3 inputs). Investments with the United Methodist Development Fund – Under an arrangement with the UMDF, the Conference’s funds handled like money market funds and certificates of deposit have a carrying amount is based on fair market value in active markets (Level 2 inputs). As of December 31, 2016, the funds bear interest at rates ranging from .75% to 2.50% and have varying rates of maturity thru 2019.

Investments in pools, the Foundation – Pools within the Foundation’s portfolios are measured using the unitization method, with values differing according to the underlying securities in each pool. Security prices are based on quotes that are obtained from independent pricing services. Fair values of securities for which market prices are not readily available are determined based upon quoted market close prices for similar issues, dealer quotes, or pricing models utilizing market observable inputs from comparable securities. This total fair value is divided by the total number of the units in the pool to determine the per-share value that is assigned to the Conference and the accounts held in trust units (Level 3 inputs).

The pooled funds consisted of the following types of investments:

(a) The fixed income fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments to earn current income. A majority of the fund is invested in publicly traded US fixed-income securities, and invested in fixed-income instruments denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. The fund holds privately placed loans originated by the Positive Social Purpose Lending Program (for example, affordable housing and community development loans).

(b) The inflation protection fund holds a combination of US and foreign fixed-income securities as well as investing in commodity futures contracts and holds senior secured loans.

(c) The international equity fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of non-US stocks. Additionally, the fund holds securities of publically traded non-US real estate investment trusts (REITs) and limited partnership interests in private real estate partnerships and private equity (for example, buyout




17

Note 3 – Fair Value Financial Instruments (continued)

funds and venture capital) with investments located in developed and developing countries. It also holds equity index futures of stock indexes in non-US markets.

(d) The US equity fund seeks to earn long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio that includes stocks among the 3,000 largest US publicly owned companies, as well as stock index futures. Additionally, the fund holds interests in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), private real estate partnerships and private equity (for example, buyout funds and venture capital).

(e) The multiple asset fund seeks to maximize long-term investment returns, including

current income and capital appreciation, while reducing short-term risk by investing in a broad mix of investments. The fund holds a pre-specified allocation of units of the following Wespath funds: Fixed Income Fund (FIF), Inflation Protection Fund (IPF), International Equity Fund (IEF) and U.S. Equity Fund (USEF).

(f) The short term investment fund seeks to maximize current income consistent with preservation of capital. The fund holds cash and cash equivalents in the form of units of a daily cash sweep account. In periods of stable and falling interest rates, the short-term fund should outperform funds holding investments with shorter maturities.

For all pooled investment funds, redemptions over $1M may be subject to a 15-day processing period to ensure adequate cash is available for distribution. Note 4 – Notes Receivable from Local Churches

The Conference lent money to two Alaska churches for the year ended December 31, 2015. These notes receivable required monthly payments of approximately $3,000, with interest rates ranging from 2% to 5%, and mature through 2041. One note with a balance of $391,176 at December 31, 2015, was deemed uncollectible in the year ended, and the bad debt was included in disbursements and transfers in the statement of cash receipts and disbursements – modified cash basis in that year. Note 5 - Pension Plans and Deposits with Wespath Benefits and Investments The Conference participates in various pension and disability benefit programs administered by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of The United Methodist Church, Incorporated in Illinois, a general agency of The United Methodist Church doing business under the assumed name of Wespath Benefits and Investments (Wespath) and Wespath Investment Management, the investments division of Wespath, and UMC Benefit Board, Inc., an Illinois not for profit corporation. Annual contributions to the programs are funded through a combination of direct billing and apportionments to the various member churches of the Conference and from earnings on investments.

Note 5 - Pension Plans and Deposits with Wespath Benefits and Investments (continued) The pension plan (the “Plan”) consists of three parts covering three different service periods:

Supplement One to the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) (as of January 1, 2007 Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) for service prior to 1982 (Pre-1982 Pension Plan)

MPP for service from January 1, 1982 through December 31, 2006 CRSP for service beginning January 1, 2007

1) Supplement One to the MPP (as of January 1, 2007 Supplement One to the CRSP) for

service prior to 1982 (Pre-1982 Pension Plan) The Plan in effect through January 1, 1982, was a multi-employer defined benefit plan, with the required contribution being the responsibility of the Conference. A monthly pension benefit was provided at a pension rate based on the number of years of service times the annuity rate divided by twelve. The base pension rate is projected to increase 2% annually for financial cost planning purposes and additional increases in the rate must be approved by Annual Conference action each year. Based on the 2016 annual pension rate of $711.58 per year of service prior to 1982, unfunded past service costs at January 1, 2014 (for 2016) was overfunded by $2,074,683. As of January 1, 2015, the unfunded past services cost for 2017 is over-funded by $2,967,538, based on the 2017 annual pension rate of $725.81 per year of services prior to 1982. The actuarial assumptions used are that fund assets will earn interest at the rate of 6.625% and that the past service pension rate will increase annually by 2%. Information regarding the accumulated present value of vested benefits and the unvested benefits and the net assets available, for benefits for service prior to January 1, 1982, is not available as the Conference has an undivided interest in the MPP of Wespath. 2) Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) for service from January 1, 1982 through December 31,

2006 This plan is a hybrid defined contribution/benefit plan which provides pensions for all service rendered from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 2006, with the required contribution being the responsibility of the salary-paying unit and if not paid, was funded by the Annual Conference. It was primarily a defined contribution retirement plan with the requirement that at retirement clergy must annuitize 65% of their total account balance to an annuity. This annuity is a defined benefit feature. As of January 1, 2012, for 2014, the actuarial valuation combined both the ministerial pension plan annuities and clergy retirement security plan defined benefits under one corridor funding plan. The actuarial valuation by Wespath as of January 1, 2015 (for 2017) shows the corridor funded ratio of the ministerial pension plan annuities and clergy




19

Note 5 - Pension Plans and Deposits with the Wespath Benefits and Investments (continued) retired security plan defined benefits for the overall plan at 111.90% compared to 112.03% funding ratio for 2016 and preliminary valuation funding ratio of 105.89% for 2018. No additional financial contributions were required in 2016. 3) Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) for service beginning January 1, 2007 Effective January 1, 2007, eligible clergy are provided pension coverage under the CRSP. This plan has two components:

A multi-employer defined benefit component: The defined benefit will be payable at

retirement based on 1.25% of the Denomination Average Compensation (DAC) in effect at the time of retirement times years of credited service after January 1, 2007, until December 31, 2013. At the end of each year, each Conference will be required to pay the full cost of this program as estimated by Wespath actuaries (see below).

A defined benefit contribution component: The defined contribution (DC) benefit at retirement is based on an account balance comprised of an annual contribution equal to 2% base amount and 1% match of the clergyperson’s plan compensation plus accumulated earnings. On the last business day of the month, Wespath credits each active eligible clergyperson’s account for 3% of plan compensation if they have contributed at least 1% of their plan compensation to receive the match.

Beginning January 1, 2007, the local church is required to make the payments for their pastor’s defined benefit and defined contribution portion. The funding plan also specifies that the defined benefit portion of monthly payments will be added to a new clergy retirement security endowment fund invested through Wespath. At the 2012 General Conference, the clergy retirement security plan was changed with an effective date of January 1, 2014. Three major changes were approved to lower the funding liability to the annual conferences: (1) 65% of the MPP account balance is annuitized, (2) the defined benefit portion of the current plan changed to 1% of the DAC and (3) annual conferences are allowed to determine their own retirement plan for part-time appointed pastors. At the 2013 Annual Conference, it was approved that ¼, ½ and ¾ time appointments would only be eligible for a straight defined contribution program through United Methodist Personal Investment Plan. For ½ and ¾ time appointments, the salary-paying unit pays 8% of the plan compensation and with an additional 2% match into pastor’s account. For ¼ time appointed appointments, the salary-paying unit pays 6% of the plan compensation with an additional 2% match to the pastor’s account. Due to 2) and 3) above, the CRSP defined benefit cost dropped. Payments from local churches/salary paying units were used to make the payments on December 31, 2016. These retirement benefits are fully vested to the participant.




20

Note 5 - Pension Plans and Deposits with Wespath Benefits and Investments (continued) Generally accepted accounting principles in the US require an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan. The pension plan is a multi-employer plan, and as such, the Conference is not subject to this standard. The Plan, a multi-employer plan, is a non-electing church plan under the Internal Revenue Code Sections 414(e) and 410(d). As such, it is exempt from minimum funding requirements of ERISA, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) and the Internal Revenue Code Sections 412 and 430-436 (Ref Section 412(e) (2) (D)). Accordingly, no PPA funding improvement plan or “zoning” funding requirements apply. Further, the Plan is exempt from filing the Form 5500. The latest actuarial valuations were performed on January 1, 2015, on the total plan liabilities per 2% Pre-82 funding plan and assets in the plan:

* Overall Plan for denomination Multi-employer Plans The Plan described above is administered by Wespath and is considered a multi-employer plan (EIN 56-6658844). There have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of the 2017 and 2016 contributions. This plan covers three service periods and is therefore managed as three sub-plans (Pre-1982, MPP and CRSP) since the benefit structure differs for each of the service periods, although the funding for any of the sub-plans can, under certain circumstances, cover any of the other sub-plans. This Plan is a multi-employer plan only under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification’s Master Glossary definition. It is not a multi-employer plan under the Internal Revenue Code Section 414(f) (i.e., a Taft-Hartley union management plan) because no unions or union contracts are involved. The Plan’s provisions are governed by the General Conference, a United Methodist Church-wide decision-making body composed of 50% clergy and 50% lay delegates, that meets once every four years. Changes to Plan provisions are not allowed between General Conferences except to the extent they are required to maintain compliance with secular law. The next meeting of the General Conference is in 2020.




21

Note 5 - Pension Plans and Deposits with Wespath Benefits and Investments (continued) The risks of participating in these multi-employer sub-plans are different from single-employer plans in the following respects:

a) Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one Annual Conference may be used to provide benefits to clergy of other US United Methodist Church annual conferences.

b) If an Annual Conference discontinues contributions to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating annual conferences.

United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) The Conference participates in the UMPIP. The plan allows both the employer and the employee to make contributions to the plan. Participants direct the investment of all accounts, including employer contributions. The plan covers permanent and full-time or part-time employees of the Conference office provided that the part-time employee after three months is 21 years old or older and works at least 1,040 hours annually. Clergy and lay employees may choose to participate in this plan as either a before-tax, after-tax or Roth payroll deduction. Contributions are limited for both clergy and lay employees to the Internal Revenue Code requirements of Section 403(b) plans. Employer contributions for Conference office lay employees to the plan are 8% of compensation and a 2% match and totaled $97,010 and $94,839 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

All contributions are fully vested and are invested with Wespath. Note 6 – Health Insurance, Group Disability and Death Benefit Plans Health Insurance The Conference participates in a multi-employer group health insurance program for active clergy and families, if applicable, of the Conference through Wespath. The cost for active clergy is paid by the salary paying unit, clergy with salary reduction and additional support from Wespath’s budget. In 2014, the retiree health plan for those covered by Medicare shifted to the OneExchange marketplace. This allows participants to choose which Medicare compliment plan and Medicare part “D” pharmacy plans suits their needs. For most clergy/spouses/surviving spouse that qualify for subsidy were provided (in most cases) $940 in 2016 to a health reimbursement account. Beginning in 2004, all future retirees, except those few that were grandfathered under prior health policies (last retiree that qualified for subsidy retired in 2011), will not receive a subsidy but are eligible to participate through this program. For the year ended December 31, 2016, deposits were $119,910 and expenditures were $102,173.




22

Note 6 – Health Insurance, Group Disability and Death Benefit Plans (continued) Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) The Conference also participates in the CPP for eligible active appointed clergy and who also participate in the CRSP plus ordained/commissioned/associate/deacons that are appointed at least ½ time. The plan provides for disability benefits for those clergy who meet Wespath definition of disability. The plan includes a death benefit for qualified active and retired clergy, spouses, and dependent children. The cost is paid by the salary paying units at 3% of active clergy plan compensation plus 3.4% for eligible part-time clergy. In 2017, CPP is only available to full-time appointed clergy. Clergy working ½ and ¾ time will be covered by UMLife Option through a fully insured plan with UNUM. The cost to the salary paying unit is approximately 2% of plan compensation. Lay Long-Term Disability and Life Insurance Plan

The Conference participates in the plan which provides disability and death benefits for Conference lay employees that meet eligibility requirements. Note 7 - Benefits Funding Amounts on deposit by the Conference with Wespath for benefits funding as of December 31 were as follows:

2016 2015Investments designated for pension/health benefits funding, principal and earnings held at Wespath (withdrawn for other purposes requires Conference action) 15,711,534$ 15,248,886$ Deposits designated for future funding, including earnings held at Wespath 3,774,290 2,942,001 Other restricted deposits held at Conference 462,407 511,861 Total assets 19,948,231$ 18,702,748$

These amounts are held in addition to any current funding required by any of the various plans in which the Conference participates.




23

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Conference Board of Congregational Development is contingently liable as guarantor for 10 - 20 year loans aggregating $708,252 and $721,436 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, made by the United Methodist Development Fund or the National Division of the General Board of Global Ministries to four local churches. Under the terms of the guarantees, the Conference subordinates its initial lien on the local churches’ properties to the lender. It is management’s intent that at the time of a default, the required payments would be made by the Conference and a contingency plan would be developed to cover the remaining loan balance so as to not lose interest in the properties. No amounts for the guarantee liabilities have been included in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, because the financial statements are on a modified cash basis.

During 2006, the Conference entered into a 50 year capital lease agreement through 2056, for the lease of office space. The lease agreement calls for rental payments of $1 per year. No long-term in-kind contribution of rent for the land is recognized because the financial statements are on a modified cash basis. In conjunction with this lease agreement, the Conference entered into a development agreement with the lessor for the development and construction of the office building. The development agreement called for the lessor to pay for 25% of the cost of construction, up to $300,000, with the Conference responsible for the balance. The lessor has full title to the land and building. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Conference capitalized approximately $1.4M of construction costs related to these agreements.

Petition #EE-1

Council on Finance and Administration RECOMMENDATIONS

1. BUDGETSThe Council received requests for the 2018 budget as follows:A. Pension and Benefit Fund - EE 2B. Ministerial Support and Administration - EE 2-10C. World Services and Conference Benevolences -EE 11-14D. Ministerial Education and Black College Fund - EE 15E. Africa University Fund - EE 15

The Council on Finance and Administration and representatives from the Conference Connectional Table met March 16, 2017 to review the budget requests submitted by Annual Conference agencies and others. The following pages are the budget recommendations for 2018. The ceiling rule allowed a budget increase of $67,897 or 1.28%. The actual recommended change is -$51,089 or a .96% decrease in the 2018Conference budget.

The Connectional Table met on March 3, 2017 to review the budget requests from the Boards and Agencies of the Annual Conference. The CT decided on the budget recommendations for the World Service & Conference Benevolence budget and recommended them to the Council on Finance & Administration. The cooperative spirit between the Connectional Table and the Council on Finance and Administration is noteworthy and makes the ministry of our Annual Conference run smoothly.

J. REPORTS OFDISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS

INLAND DISTRICTIt was my first year as your Superintendent, and I have to say the learning curve is steep! I

am grateful for your forgiveness as I made (and will undoubtedly continue to make) mistakes, but I have felt affirmed in my calling to say “yes” to our bishop when asked to prayerfully discern taking on this new role. I am also grateful for Rev. Dale Cockrum, my predecessor, who passed the baton to me with grace after eight faithful years!

We got rather late start on the 2016 fall schedule (because of my vacation and DS “boot camp” in August), but I did hit the ground running coming to every church and community during July 2016. Here are some other aspects of the role of the DS that may have felt different this past appointment year in contrast to past years:

1. Charge Conferences / Local Church Leadership Conversations – I am committed to meeting with every church every year, but I don’t feel like my annual meeting with each church has to be the annual “charge (or all-church) conference.” If I come for the charge conference, I usually try and accomplish the business portion of the meeting in 15 minutes or less, and then move on to a “Local Church Leadership Conversation” (or LCLC). Other churches opted to have a different ordained UM Elder preside at their Charge Conference at a time more convenient to them, so this year I opened the possibility for churches to do exactly that. This will still be an option as we proceed in the future, and eventually I want to spread out some of the LCLCs (that feel more like a “workshop” that can help churches take their next faithful step) throughout the year. This will ease the fall schedule if I just have some of the all-church meetings in addition to my meetings with all Pastor/Staff Relations Committees each fall. Because of the late start this past appointment year I continued some of my meetings with churches into January and February, but I don’t anticipate needing to do that in subsequent years.

2. District Gathering/Training Event – We changed the district training event formerly known as “Rocks & Ripples” to “Rocks, Ripples & Revival,” and we focused on worship excellence. In conversations with the District Leadership Team (see number four below), it became clear that we needed to shift this gathering. That being said, I can still help coordinate a January/February “training” for SPRC Chairs or Trustees Chairpersons that need some resourcing. The event this year was attended by about as many as past years, and I am actively discerning this event’s future. Would we rather have District lay and clergy retreats? Would we rather plan on a huge, several day event in coordination with the Seven Rivers District that brings in a well-known speaker to provide inspiration and challenge? I am open to any and all ideas, and while we are waiting I may not have the event this year as a kind of “fallow season” while we discern next steps.

3. Workshop Availability – This is related to the LCLCs discussed above, but because of my particular interests, as well as gifts and graces, I would much rather engage in workshops or “group coaching” sessions that help me to come alongside congregations and leaders and ask the kinds of questions that provoke transformation. I still have a supervisory role with congregations and clergy, but if you are interested in some kind of workshop please have your pastor or SPRC Chairperson let

me know if your church has a need for a specific topic!4. District Committees/District Leadership Team –

Just as I did in the local church, I have tried to streamline communication and decision-making to a leadership team rather than having multiple ministry teams duplicate conversations and meetings. To that end I have basically consolidated the functions of the Superintendency Committee, the District Committee on Building and Location and the Clergy Cluster Leaders into one leadership team. At times parts of this team engages in particular discussions and we basically met quarterly this past appointment year.

5. Appointment Announcements/Clear Openings – As in previous years, we began the appointment year with an announcement of “clear openings” to provide greater transparency to the appointment-making process. This allows clergy to discern and put their name forward if they feel called. The difference was this year we kept this list updated throughout the spring. The process might change in the upcoming year in that clergy would only contact their current DS. Stay tuned…

But why do we need to do this differently? People who know me best know that I have never believed the statement “We have always done it that way,” to be a compelling enough reason to continue doing anything. I am constantly asking the question, “Why?” Why do we do this, that or the other thing? For what purpose? I try and remain focused on the big picture of why we follow Jesus, why we engage in a community of faith and why what we do matters (not just for us, but maybe even more importantly for the people who have not yet encountered the God we serve with our whole lives). To that end, I have tried to streamline some of the processes and procedures to free us all up to live our faith out loud and be agents of God’s transforming grace in the world.

Other changes we have experienced this past year: Just like in life, we have births, deaths, celebration and grief in our life together. We had a new birth this past spring with TJ Parker and his wife Anna (Clark Fork Parish’s lay pastor assigned). We grieved the deaths of so many, but in particular I want to lift up Vera Ora Winslow, who served faithfully as our District Secretary for many years. Dale Cockrum officiated the service, and I was grateful for his presence with their family. There have also been many other prayers for healing, health and wholeness, and I am grateful that you have allowed me to be in prayer with and for you all. We also grieved the faithful completion of ministry in three congregations this past year (Rocklyn Zion United Methodist Church, Spokane: Central United Methodist Church, and White Bird: Community United Methodist Church). Please see the descriptions elsewhere in this journal, as I didn’t have an opportunity to share about these churches at Annual Conference this year. But the news isn’t ALL bad! We also spent this year preparing the soil for two new church projects within the District at Audubon Park UMC in Spokane and Community UMC in Coeur d’Alene!

I will continue to pray for your communities, congregations and leaders regularly, and I would invite you to hold me, Bishop Elaine and the whole Cabinet in your thoughts and prayers as well. As I try to say frequently in my travels around the district, please let me know if there is a way I can be a better help or resource for your ministry as you strive to connect the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone with whom you come into contact!

Prayerfully,Rev. Gregg Sealey

your Inland District Superintendent


PUGET SOUND DISTRICTIt’s been a very busy year for the Puget Sound District. We held two retreats, one for

our laity and one for our clergy. The laity retreat was held at Warm Beach, with Steve Ross at the keynoter. The clergy gathering was at Camp Killoqua near Stanwood. The keynoter for that event was Bill Gibson. Both speakers did an excellent job, making the events very successful. Our annual “Roots & Wings” training event was held at Edmonds UMC with our new Conference Lay Leader, Nancy Tam Davis, as a guest speaker. Our coordinator of Hispanic ministries, Lyda Pierce, was also a guest presenter. Both were well received and appreciated. There were also a variety of workshops available to attendees. A good day all in all!

One of the real highlights of the year was the formation of a district leadership team comprised of four lay and four clergy members. In anticipation of a “westside” re-districting next year, this team could play a major role in providing stability to what has historically been the Puget Sound District. The lay members are Keith Shore (Edmonds), Eve Carty (Langley), Lori Flores (Mt Vernon), and Brian Rockom (Lynden). The clergy members are Tom Steffen (Port Angeles), Kathy Hartgraves (Bellingham: Garden St), Cody Natland (Bayview / Sedro Wooley), and Jim Clarke (Mill Creek: Cedar Cross). We are grateful for their leadership!

On a sad note, we said farewell to one of our long time faith communities. Everett: Spirit of Grace closed it doors at the end of June. Formally known as Everett First UMC, Spirit of Grace was formed when Everett First merged with Everett: St Paul’s eight years ago. As difficult as it was, the closing service (led by Rev Kim Poole) on June 4th was a genuine celebration of the life and service of this faithful community. The remaining congregants transferred their memberships to area churches, most notably to Cedar Cross UMC. We wish them God’s blessings as they worship and serve in their new congregations.

Respectfully submitted,Rev. L Daniel Foster

Puget Sound District Superintendent


SEATTLE DISTRICT One of the highlights of this year was the Laity UpRising event held in September. Our focus was on homelessness and we engaged in a thought provoking poverty simulation. The good news to report is that all of our congregations are involved in the quest to end homelessness. From shelter to housing to feeding to advocacy and to providing material assistance our congregations are committed to meeting Christ as the homeless one in our midst. Several of our congregations are also engaging the emerging immigration issues pro-voked by the ascendency of political policy of exclusion and punishment. Our United Methodist witness of hospitality and social holiness is surely being tested by the political realities of our era. Our District continues to launch new church starts. Planters Neal Sharpe and Sarah Casey laid the foundation for new congregations to emerge. This coming year we will plant two more. Meanwhile we celebrated the chartering of Valley & Mountain in the Hillman City neighbor-hood of Seattle. This creative and unique expression of United Methodism is leading the way into a new future of possibilities for our District. We also witnessed the increased morale and missional engagement of three congrega-tions involved in the experimental model of the South End Union redevelopment project. Renton First, Bryn Mawr and Riverton Park are evidencing new expressions of revival and the repurposing of their ministries. Exciting times! There were lots of pastoral movements as this appointive year comes to an end. We said a fond fare-well to those leaving our District via retirement.

Rev. Sharon Moe (Seattle First)Rev. Carol Mariano (Haller Lake)Rev. Larry Blackstock (Grace) And we said a second goodbye to re-retired pastors Rev. Judy Schultz (Green Lake) and Rev. Edsel Goldson (Kennydale) as they head back into retirement. Rev. Cecilia Clemons (Shoreline) moved to Georgia at the end of June, Rev. Jenny Phil-lips took a national job in Georgia, Rev. Shalom Agtarap (Highline) was appointed to a Conference position working with Rev. Bill Gibson on our new church start strategies, and our go-to interim pastor Rev. David Van Heyningen (Bellevue First) successfully completed his task. Come July we will welcome new church start pastors Rev. Thomas Yang (Bellevue) and Rev. Marc Kennedy (Burien), along with new to our Conference pastors Rev. Jeremy Smith (Seattle First), Rev. Phil Antilla (Bellevue First) and Rev. Willie Deuel (Green Lake) along with new ap-pointments Rev. Austin Adkinson (Haller Lake) Pastor Laura Baumgartner (Aldersgate Associate) and Rev. Kevin Lee (Shoreline). Pastor Neal Shape will be partnering with Rev. Hal Perry and the Ravenna congregation to repurpose the building into a new church start site. And Rev. Sarah Casey will launch out of Bothell into the northwest Seattle mission field. We also welcome new Deacons Kristin Joyner (Bothell), and Steve London (Riverton Park). One bit of sad news was the closing of the South Asian Fellowship (Shoreline). But as we look toward the future we are yearning and hoping to see new possibilities that will birth us into new, fresh expressions of our United Methodist witness of God’s grace loose in the world. We look toward the future with confidence awaiting God’s good surprise.

Rev. Rich LangSeattle District Superintendent


SEVEN RIVERS DISTRICT It was a busy year for the Seven Rivers District. In the fall there were workshops on

Truth and how personal and corporate truth are necessary for a life of faith. The Spring saw our fourth annual District Retreat. This time the theme was Compassion. The Laity and Clergy both met at Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center on the same weekend, sharing meals and worship while learning sessions were separate. Our attendance to this event increased once again and volunteers who attended Dr. Frank Rogers’ training in compassion based on his work Practicing Compassion led the sessions.

Sunnyside UMC and Okanogan UMC are recipients of Board of Congregation Development (BOCD) monies and are Re-purposing their vision and mission so they might focus on welcoming new people into their spaces. BOCD also approved funding for a new church start project in Walla Walla. Ellensburg UMC is working with Justice For Our Neighbors to set up the first legal clinic of this type in the Greater Northwest Episcopal Area. Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center held several funds raisers throughout the district and broke ground in May for their new dining hall. The Annual Conference voted to close Grand Coulee upon their request to separate from the UMC. The Annual Conference also voted to close Walla Walla: Grace UMC, “leaving a legacy in the community in their generous giving to life affirming ministries within Walla Walla and the PNW.”

We said farewell to Rev. Leon Alden (Bea) as he retired for the second time, Don Ford (Barbara) as he retired for the first time and Rev. Alan Oppelaar (Jan) retired as well. Rev. Tom Telfer and his wife Jan applied and were given permission to serve the Church of Scotland…so they are off on a big adventure.

Seven Rivers will receive a new District Superintendent; the Rev. Mary Huycke will replace Rev. Juli Reinholz.

Rev. Juli ReinholzSeven Rivers District Superintendent


TACOMA DISTRICTThe 2016-2017 appointment year was a busy one for the Tacoma District with 11 total

pastoral changes. Seven pastors are moving within the district including: Karen Yokota Love from Puyallup Associate to Tacoma: Mason; Dennis Paschke from Foothills and Orting to full-time at Orting; Marion Moore-Colgan from Yelm Community to Foothills; Ann Lock from Tacoma First to Shelton; Wes Stanton from Brownsville and Tracyton to full-time at Tracyton; Ferdinand Llenado from Bethany to Tacoma First and Bethany; and Nathan Hollifield from Fircrest to Fircrest and Create Commons.

Pastors moving out of the district include: Stephanie Roberts White who moved to the east coast; Paul Ortiz moved to Chicago; and Rob McCoy will not serve a congregation this appointment year.

We also welcome 4 pastors into our District including, Douglas Thomison from the Missouri Annual Conference who will serve Yelm Community and Melinda Giese, a newly commissioned provisional elder, who will serve Tacoma: Summit. We also welcome Patricia Longstroth who was serving in the Sevens Rivers district and will serve Brownsville and Al Aosved, a retired Elder, who will serve Belfair: North Mason.

This year the district closed Tacoma: Fern Hill United Methodist Church after 135 years of service and Olympia: Korean UMC after 24 years of service. Congregation members at Fern Hill spent several years trying to revitalize and gathered for the last time to celebrate their faithfulness in ministry on June 25, 2017. Members of Olympia Korean left in 2016 after a pastoral transition. The conference and district will continue to evaluate the best places to plant and develop fruitful Korean ministry in the Pacific Northwest.

During the 2016-2017 appointment year, I continued to focus on building trust and relationships among churches and pastors. During charge conferences this year, I challenged churches to continue to focus on the spiritual health of their communities as well as discussing the actions of the 2016 General Conference and its impact on churches. As in previous years, I have spent the majority of my time visiting and coaching pastors, working with churches experiencing difficult circumstances, and tending to administrative duties. I have greatly enjoyed serving the Tacoma District and look forward to another year of ministry with the pastors and congregations within its boundaries.

Respectfully submitted,Rev. Cara Scriven

VANCOUVER DISTRICT The 2017 appointment changes were as follows: Rev. Don Shipley from Shelton to Camas UMC; Rev. JoAnn Schaadt from Moses Lake to Vancouver Heights UMC; Rev. Mary Evelyn Long (ELCA retired) to Ocean Park UMC; Local pastor Laurie Sardinia to Morton UMC (continuing with Little Rock UMC in a two-point charge); Rev. Kendra Behn-Smith from Selah to White Salm-on UMC; Rev. Heather Sparkman to Oakville UMC (continuing with Rochester in a two-point charge). We said good-bye in retirement to Rev. Denise Neuschwander (Vancouver Heights), Rev. Tom Elkins (Ocean Park), and Certified Lay Minister Bill Scholl (Oakville). We also said goodbye to local pastor Sam Geyer (White Salmon) as he returns to Kennewick; to Rev. Richenda Fairhurst (Camas) as she moves to Ashland UMC in Oregon. We thank Steve Johnson for his 6-month in-terim work at Morton and to Bob Giardinia for sharing in the leadership with Steve through the Advent season. We were also very excited to welcome Rudilyn “Lyn” Rush as the first lay-led new church start sponsored by the PNW Board of Congregational Development. She is assigned to develop a Filipino American church in the Vancouver-Portland metro area. In August the second annual Drive Out Golf Tournament was held at Orchard Hills Country Club in Washougal supporting the Clark County Council on Homelessness, raising nearly $5000. The District clergy gathered in December in Chehalis for our annual Christmas luncheon. Over President’s Day weekend the District Youth held a retreat at Ocean Park Camp that had 50 youth and 20 adult participants. The District Training in March focused on Compassionate Spiritu-ality with keynote speaker Dr. Frank Rogers. It was well attended with 100 participants represent-ing all corners of the district. As I begin my eighth and final year as your superintendent, I am gratified to know the faithful servants in the Vancouver District. You are my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I am hon-ored to serve alongside you. As we navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of life and ministry, I stand amazed by your resilience and passion to continue sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through your worship, witness, and service, seeking community and justice for the least amongst us. God’s grace and peace be with you all.

Your Superintendent, Rev. David Nieda

DOUGLAS ERVIN HUSTON ~ was born on June 9, 1952 to Donald and Ella Huston in Richmond Beach, WA, one of ultimately four siblings. He was raised there, graduated from Shoreline High School and went on to Seattle Pacific College where he met a lovely fellow SPC student named Joy Christine Griggs, who became his beloved spouse on August 10, 1974. We knew Doug as friend and colleague. Doug and Joy Huston began their ministry, having graduated from Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, at the four point charge of Clark Fork and Hope, Idaho, which was coupled with the churches at Noxon and Heron, Montana. Surviving their time serving 4 churches, in two conferences and across two time zones, the Huston’s moved to Tacoma where Doug served as an associate pastor at Lakewood UMC. Then they moved back to the east side of the conference, serving in Sandpoint, Idaho. Doug would go on to serve at Allen Blanchard, Kennewick: West Highlands and finally, in extension ministry, as a Chaplain in the Tri City Chaplaincy Program in Kennewick, WA. Doug was quiet and easygoing, reaching out with God’s love to all he met. He especially enjoyed the ministry as it related to youth and campers. He served as the editor of the Tri City Herald’s Spiritual Life column and as a Chaplain at the Benton County jail. He was passionate about his work with Hope for the Children of Africa, and liked to play golf with his friends. Doug also loved to sail, play his guitar, travel with Joy and play with his grandchildren: two of whom he was able to baptize. In 2004, at the age of 52, Doug was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Through the ups and downs of his health, he stayed in love with God and with God’s people. In 2006, he was granted disability leave. It didn’t stop him from reflecting on his life. He said in one of his columns: “Through all the changes, one thing has remained unchanged, and that is God’s grace and love that fills me and holds me.” Here are Doug’s words as he reflected on his 60th birthday in 2012:I am part of that generation that did not trust anybody over 30, and now discover that they are us. During those pre-30 years, I could not imagine ever being 60; and eight years ago following a diagnosis of a brain tumor, I did not know if I would see this birthday. I remember the Beatles’ song “When I’m Sixty Four”. Joy assures me now, if I make it that long, she will “still be needing me and feeding me”. That is good news. While growing up, my parents made sure that I was involved in the church. Most Sundays, I spent about six hours at church between choir practice, church school, and worship in the mornings, and then returning for youth fellowship in the evenings. Since that is where most of my friends were, I didn’t protest too much. The adults were good mentors. We learned something about God, and those things laid a foundation upon which I built the rest of my life. At the time, when someone suggested I would make a good pastor, I strongly protested the possibility. In the fall of 1970, I had an experience which I later identified as similar to John Wesley’s “heartwarming experience”. Over a weekend

of activities I realized that I had an empty space in my life that would only be filled with the grace and love of God. I responded to the invitation to turn my life in that direction and step by step followed God’s leading into ministry. Through all those changes, one thing has remained unchanged, and that is God’s grace and love that fills me and holds me. This became evident over the last years as you prayed for my strength and healing. God answered your prayers. I am here and I expect to be around to make sure my wife will “need and feed me when I’m sixty-four”. Our friend, Doug E. Huston, died on February 18, 2017 in Bremerton, Washington. He is survived by his wife Joy at the family home, their children: Megan E. (Huston) & Nick Vinther, Aaron Huston, and Nicole Huston. He is also survived by his grandchildren Andrew, Abbey and Maxwell Vinther. The memorial service for Doug E. Huston was held on February 26, 2017 at the Bremerton United Methodist Church.

WILLIAM (BILL) GRANT BERNEY - the eldest child of William E. and Dorothy Smith Berney, was born June 17, 1927 in Walla Walla, Washington. Bill graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1944 and then from Whitman College in 1948 with a bachelor’s degree in physics. He went to seminary at Garrett Theological Seminary, in Evanston, Illinois, and received his Bachelor of Divinity degree three years later, in absentia, because he was in the Spokane Valley marrying his college sweetheart, Virginia Wilkes. The newly married couple spent the summer in Independence, Iowa, where Bill did chaplaincy training in the Iowa Mental Health Hospital, and then went on to New Haven, Connecticut, where Bill pursued graduate work at Yale Divinity School, completing his Sacred Theology Master’s degree in the spring of 1952. The couple returned to the Northwest, to Moses Lake, Washington, where Bill had been appointed to establish a new Methodist Church. The region was booming due to the Columbia Basin Project’s bringing irrigation water into the area. Over the five years spent in Moses Lake, the new church grew to 200 members. Daughters Gail and Ann were born during those years. In 1957, Bill was appointed to pastor the Methodist Churches in Grangeville and White Bird, Idaho. Daughters Joyce and Celia were born there. After four years, in 1961, Bill was appointed to Bethany Methodist Church in Tacoma, Washington. While there, the Berneys adopted a baby son, John. In 1964, Bill was appointed to serve the Methodist Church in Pullman, Washington. There he appreciated his contact with questioning university students, as well as discussions around the social challenges of the times. Ten and a half years later Bill was assigned to the United Methodist Church in Renton, Washington. A feeding program was initiated, and the CROP Walk was introduced to the Renton area. After ten and a half years in Renton, Bill served at the Wenatchee First United Methodist Church and then moved on to Garden Street United Methodist in Bellingham, Washington, where he finished 40 years of full-time ministry. In 1992 Bill and Virginia moved back to Walla Walla to live in the house where he’d grown up. Bill led Adult Education classes in the community, the State Penitentiary, and at several area churches. He played flute in the community band and volunteered for Hospice and Meals-on-Wheels. The Berney’s continued to see God’s love as action in the world and were involved in the mission outreach of the church. Bill and Virginia were avid travelers. When their children were young, they camped in many state and national parks. Later there was international travel, some church-related, to India, Africa, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, and China.


In 2007, Bill had a stroke caused by an infected heart valve. This sadly took his gift of language away, yet he carried on with keen observance, and interest in what people were saying and feeling. Deep concern and unconditional love continued to show through. Thankfully, during family Christmas carol and hymn sings, he was still able to provide the resonant bass harmony he had added to choirs all through his career. In August, 2010, Bill and Virginia moved to Panorama in Lacey, Washington, to be nearer to family. In spite of Bill’s declining health, Virginia made an effort to have him included in activities and events. He was wise, humble, and a gentle lion for peace and justice. He was kind, open-hearted, generous and full of integrity. He was a beloved father and husband. William G. Berney passed away January 31, 2017. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Virginia; sister, Barbara McCornack of Fort Collins, Colorado; brother, Robert Berney of Grasonville, Maryland; five children, Gail Schmunk (Peter) of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Ann Berney (Jane Appling) of Seattle, WA; Joyce Berney (Scott Corbett) of Portland, Oregon, Celia Nightingale (David) of Olympia, WA; John Berney of Lovelock Nevada; and 10 grandchildren.

ROBERT (BOB) LOUIS BRIZEE - was born on June 17, 1933 in Twin Falls, Idaho, the second son of Harry and `Lucille (Cartwright) Brizee. He graduated from Buhl High School in 1949. Bob loved learning and continued his education at Idaho State University in Pocatello, graduating in 1953. Bob married Patricia Stout in June of that same year. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Sociology at the University of New Mexico in 1954. Bob continued his education from 1954 through 1959, attending Michigan State University, earning a PhD in psychological counseling. From 1958 to 1959, Bob served in the US Marine Corp and continued his military service with the Air Force until 1964. Bob began his career at Washington State University as a Staff Counselor and Instructor in the Department of Psychology from 1959-1963. He was a life-long learner, going on to earn a Masters of Theology at Claremont School of Theology in 1966. He was ordained in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the Methodist Church where he was appointed pastor at the Methodist Church in Mercer Island in 1966. In 1969, Bob served as the senior pastor at Wenatchee: First UMC. In 1970, Bob returned to private practice and established the first psychological counseling center in Wenatchee. A deep listener, Bob counseled many in the Wenatchee area for decades. He married Adrienne Anderson in August of 1974 and together they worked as a husband and wife counseling team. Bob found a deep passion in writing and he was the proud author of several books and academic articles. He and Adrienne were very involved at Wenatchee: First UMC. They taught and organized a Lay Academy through the church and in collaboration with Claremont School of Theology, and promoted programs for CST on the east side of the Cascades. Bob was passionate in his efforts to make the world a better place. Bob died at his home in Wenatchee on June 28, 2016 surrounded by beloved family. He is survived by his wife, Adrienne Brizee; daughters Judy Seraphin and Joy Brizee; step-daughters Julie Blume and Valerie Fox; brother Harold Brizee; grandchildren Courtney and Kyle Blume and Sam and Hallie Fox. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Harry A. Brizee, Jr. The memorial service to celebrate the life of this wonderful man, Dr. Bob, was held at First United Methodist Church of Wenatchee on July 9, 2016.

GEORGE C. BROWN, JR. - was born to G. Clifford and Edna M. (Godejohn) Brown in St. Louis, MO on January 5, 1928. He made his home in St. Louis until he graduated from Normandy High School in 1945, after which he set off on his life’s adventures. Besides his training at home and in church, George was a camper and leader at the American Youth Foundation’s Camp Miniwanca


at Shelby, Michigan. George continued his education at William Jewell College, receiving a A.B. in Economics, Political Science and Psychology in 1950. George served in the U.S. Army’s Occupation of Japan, 1946-47. George met his first wife, Ruth Evelyn “Lyn” Raymond at Camp Miniwanca, and they were married in Columbus, Ohio in 1950. It was there they added to their family: G. Russell Brown, Melinda, Douglas, Alan and Eric. While in Hilliard, OH, George served on the City Council for two two-year terms and two years on the Franklin County, Ohio Planning Commission. After a six year career in laboratory equipment sales with a specialty in micro-optical work, George answered a call to ministry. At the age of 38, George entered seminary at the Methodist Theological School of Ohio, graduating in 1969 with his M.Div. Degree. George, Lyn and their five children moved to George’s first appointment at the Alderwood United Methodist Church in Lynnwood, WA. In June of the following year, Lyn died. In December of 1970 George met Elizabeth W. “Bette” Hamack who had recently been widowed. The couple married on July 31, 1972. Bette brought to the family her children: Joan, Andrew, Bobbie and Richard. George and Lyn Brown together served churches in Ohio and the PNW Conference, churches include: Austin Methodist Church, Austin, OH; Broad Street Christian Church, Columbus, Ohio; and Alderwood Manor UMC, in Lynnwood, WA. George and Bette Brown together served Alderwood Manor UMC, Lynnwood; Kellogg United Federated; Tacoma: Mason Associate; Vancouver: East Mill Plain; Vancouver: Mill Plain; and Bremerton: First United Methodist Church. George and Bette retired in 1990. George was an avid sports fan, rooting for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Browns since 1937. He maintained his loyalty to both the Cardinals and the Buckeyes the rest of his life. In 1984, George became a volunteer Disaster Response Coordinator for both Church World Service and UMCOR. Until 2001, George was a member and/or leader of teams that responded to flooding disasters in Oklahoma, the Midwest, New Orleans, and Washington State, plus earthquakes in both Southern California and Nisqually, Washington. In 1999, the Browns taught a class in Disaster Response management at Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe. George’s interests were many and varied, and he saw himself as a “generalist” and not a “specialist”. George continued his calling by writing and copyrighting a thesis at age 88, with a focus on cultural sensitivity and inclusivity. It was his most fervent desire that people on earth understand and respect each other. George Brown died on January 7, 2017 in Everett, Washington. He is survived by his “clan” of Rev. G. Russell Brown of Overland Park, KS; Melinda B. Ackley, Yakima, WA; Douglas R. Brown, Mill Creek, WA; Alan M. Brown, Tacoma, WA; and Eric W. Brown, Portland, WA. And Bette’s children: Joan H. Noel, Everett, WA; Andrew W. Hamack, Everett, WA; Roberta (Bobbie) H. Stencil, Everett, WA; and Richard F. Hamack, Athena, AZ. In addition, he is survived by 19 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. A celebration of George’s life was held at Cedar Cross United Methodist Church in Mill Creek, WA, on Saturday, January 21, 2017.

LEROY FREDERICK CARLSON - was born on December 24, 1922, in Yakima, Washington, where he was raised on the family farm and apple orchard. From an early age, he was both athletic and intensely studious. As a child, in response to a dare from one of his sisters, he memorized and then recited, in one sitting, one hundred Bible verses. In high school, he lettered in tennis and graduated as valedictorian of his high school class. Leroy attended college at Seattle Pacific College, where he studied classics and classical languages including Greek, Hebrew and Latin. Shortly after World War II, he served in the U.S. Army in occupied Japan. Leroy met his wife of 66 years, Evelyn, at a church youth group meeting held in an apple warehouse at the Carlson family farm. Leroy was only 20 and Evelyn 15 but it was love at first sight.


Although Evelyn’s parents were skeptical at first, Leroy eventually won them over by stressing his position as a Sunday school teacher. After several years of courting, Leroy and Evelyn were married in Selah, Washington on January 14, 1950. Leroy obtained a Master’s of Divinity Degree from North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois, and was ordained as a minister in the Swedish Covenant Church. Leroy and Evelyn spent several years in Cleveland, Ohio, where Leroy was the pastor of Bethany Covenant Church. They later relocated to Washington, where Leroy was the pastor of several churches, most recently Ronald United Methodist Church in Shoreline, Washington, and Port Orchard United Methodist Church in Port Orchard, Washington. Throughout his life, Leroy was a passionate student of history, linguistics and literature. He read and traveled widely and loved to learn, to teach and to share knowledge with others. He was a wonderful public speaker, frequently drawing on his deep knowledge of history and languages (and humorous anecdotes) to provide context for the lessons in his sermons. Leroy was equally passionate about the outdoors. He spent countless hours with Evelyn and his children fishing, camping, and hiking in the Cascades and the Olympics, and was especially fond of the Cascade Crest Trail. He also introduced many young people to the mountains through youth group hiking and camping trips. Leroy continued to be very physically active until very late in his life, walking the quiet roads of Port Orchard and tending dozens of rose bushes, dahlias, rhododendrons and tulips. Leroy Frederick Carlson was 93 when he died in Gig Harbor on June 3, 2016. He is survived by his loving wife Evelyn of Port Orchard, Washington; daughter Deborah Swigart and her husband Bill, of Bremerton, Washington, son Daniel Carlson and his wife Anita, of Port Orchard; grandchildren Katherine (Jason) Wax, Sterling (Anna) Swigart, Christopher Carlson (Briana Chilcote) and Jessica Carlson (Jesse Derma); he is also survived by his sister Alice Presson of Yakima, Washington.

CORILESS VICTOR HANSON - was born on April 4, 1930 in Madawaska, Maine to parents John and Eva Hanson. Coriless was one of seven children and spent his early childhood in Panama City, Florida. He attended the University of Alabama, graduating in 1954 with his Bachelor’s degree. He went on to attend Duke University for his Master’s degree (1957) and also did graduate training in linguistics at Scarritt College in 1957, the University of Lisbon in 1958 and the University of Rhodesia in 1966. Coriless was called to the ministry at the age of 16 while at a World Wide Conference of Methodist youth held at Cleveland, Ohio in 1946. He felt his future would involve serving the Lord in Africa. His family was not particularly enthusiastic about his becoming a Methodist preacher and he knew that no financial support would come from any source other than his own efforts. He immediately began preparing for the ministry by doing odd jobs and carefully saving every dollar possible. He was able to work his way through both college and seminary and finished his theological training completely out of debt. On July 23, 1951 Coriless married his high school sweetheart, Elizabeth Harrison. The couple began their life of travel, following where God called them. Their first child, Susan Elizabeth was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; daughter Karen Marie was born in Lexington, N.C. and son Daniel Craig was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Coriless attended Asbury College prior to transferring to the University of Alabama where he received his degree in education. He received his theological training at Duke. During his three years at Duke, he and Elizabeth served two small churches in the Western North Carolina Conference. Upon completion of seminary, the family were appointed as missionaries to Africa, through the Board of Global Ministries. Coriless worked


with African pastors while Beth worked at the Quessus High School. The Hansons remained in Angola during four years of intense political turmoil and were later denied reentry into the country. After a brief furlough, they asked to return to Africa and were assigned to the Rhodesia Annual Conference. They both were appointed as teachers in the Teacher Training Institute in Nyadira. Later they transferred to the border town of Umtali, where Coriless was the conference director of Christian Education and Beth was the superintendent of the African Girls Hostel. During his ministry, Coriless studied the language of Chimanyka and worked extensively in the bush country where he became fluent. While visiting Rhodesia, Bishop Palmer invited Coriless to affiliate with the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church. They returned to the United States in 1968 and Coriless was admitted to the PNW Annual Conference. He served 24 years in the Tacoma District. He served at Gig Harbor, and as associate pastor at Olympia: First UMC. He went on to St. Paul’s in Tacoma and finally to St. Andrews UMC in Lacey, Washington. Coriless and Beth Hanson retired after 42 years in ministry in 1992. The world was truly his parish! And theirs! His ministry was conducted on three continents and he preached in three different languages. Rev. Coriless Victor Hanson died on September 29, 2016 in Lacey, WA. He is survived by his beloved wife and life partner, Beth. A memorial celebration was held at First UMC of Olympia.

ROBERT (BOB) GENE CHAMBERLAIN - was born on November 30, 1936 in Mason City, Washington, the son of Otis and Helen Chamberlain. Bob grew up in Tacoma graduating from Stadium High School. He attended Cascade College in Portland, graduating in 1961 cum laude. From 1961 -1963 he served in the US Army. He married his college sweetheart, Betty Smith, the summer after graduation. They made a family with three children: Anna, Theodore and Bradford. Besides local and national travel, he and Betty made several trips to Europe as well as Southeast Asia. He went on to complete his Ph.D. at the University of Oregon and spent his career in higher education, primarily a Professor of Communications at Seattle Pacific University. As a member of the SPU facility from 1978 to 1999, he served on all the faculty standing committees, was twice faculty chair and chaired the Department of Communication and Journalism for 15 of his 21 years. Bob was considered by his colleagues “a model of unselfish service” who hosted senior graduation parties in his home. Known for tackling tasks with the tenacity of a bulldog, he was also a storyteller, speech maker, professional baker and master carpenter. His tasty baked goods were featured at faculty retreats. Bob took on a new role as pastor’s spouse when his wife Betty was appointed to serve the United Methodist Church in Ridgefield, Washington. During his last 11 years at SPU, he lived in an apartment in Seattle while Betty lived in Ridgefield. He would spend weekends in Ridgefield and she would spend her days off, Sunday afternoon to Tuesday in Seattle. They were both dedicated to their calling and their marriage. It was a time of cultural shift: the formerly known” Clergy Wives Club”, became “Clergy Spouses Club”, as more and more women became ordained in the PNW Conference. Bob actually went to a Clergy Spouses’ overnight retreat. The group was all women with the exception of Bob and then DS Ed Starr. He wasn’t about to let the men be left out of spouses events! Bob had a full and interesting life. His woodworking found him creating furniture – among which were a coffee table, stereo cabinet and a china hutch. Another one of Bob’s claims to fame was his ability to complete the New York Times crossword puzzle in ink! Bob’s strong support for students led him to establish the Robert G. Chamberlain Communication Mentorship Endowment. This endowment supports both communication and journalism faculty and student research in which the faculty member mentors the student in submitting sophisticated research to refereed presentation before a professional association or


in a scholarly journal. Students remember “Dr. Bob” affectionately – remembering his warmth, wisdom and humor. He advised one student to find what he was passionate about and find a way to get paid for it. Bob died on June 23, 2016 at the age of 79. He was preceded in death by a brother, Jim, and a sister, Nancy. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, the Rev.

DUANE LEWIS FEAR - was born October 18, 1946 in St. Louis, MO to Carl and Erma (Calhoon) Fear. He was the second of their three children. He attended a small neighborhood Presbyterian Church and was happy to say he had perfect attendance for eight years. As a boy, Duane loved baseball, and he dreamed of having a professional baseball career. He tried out for the St. Louis Cardinals, but when he didn’t make the team it did not dampen his love for the game. Duane graduated from Bayliss High School in 1964 and attended Missouri School of Mining and Engineering in Rolla, MO for one year. He began for Southwestern Bell in 1965, then he enlisted in the US Navy in 1966. In September of 1966 he married Virginia (Ginny) Crisman. The couple moved to Washington, DC where Duane served at the Naval Security Station until the end of his enlistment in 1969 when they returned to St. Louis and he returned to work at Southwestern Bell. It was at this time they became parents to Sara Jane (Williams), and to Jason Duane. He was meticulous in his work in the central office and went on to join circuit design. He transferred to Seattle in 1978 where he was promoted to supervisor for Pacific Northwest Bell. He loved his work in the telecommunications industry. At the time of his death, he was still a full-time employee of Century Link. Duane loved sports, baseball and golf in particular. He coached the women’s softball team the Diamond Dusters in Seattle and he played on the Seattle Parks & Rec team, the Divers, who won a championship. He took up golf in the 1980’s and for a few years played golf and baseball with equal enthusiasm. But it was golf that provided the metaphor for his life. It challenged him to be the best he could be, and Duane strived for excellence in everything he did, and this drive for excellence extended to his relationships as husband, father, friend and co-worker. One of the truly memorable experiences of his life was winning a contest in 1988 that enabled him to play golf with the great Jack Nicklaus. In 1993, Duane married Cheryl (Taylor) Fear. The couple lived in Mount Vernon while Duane continued to work in Seattle. At the end of 2004 he was diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Duane’s strength of character, body, and spirit rose to the occasion, and he came through the chemo and radiation treatments like a champ. He completed his cancer treatments at the same time his wife completed seminary. He was ardent in his support of Chery’s call to ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church moving with her to Spokane, Cashmere and back to Bellingham. He loved to sing, and joined the Apollo Men’s Choir in Wenatchee, and the choir at Garden Street UMC. Duane was a proud grandfather of seven grandchildren and was looking forward to the arrival of his first great grandchild. Duane loved life and made life for everyone around him better. His son-in-law, Ron, said, “I am a better man because I know Duane.” To which his daughter, Sara, added, “We’re all better because we know Duane.” His granddaughter Lindsay said, “Grandpa is legendary.” He was the epitome of a gentle-man. Duane is survived by his wife, Cheryl; daughter, Sara Williams (Mark); son, Jason Duane Fear (Jen); Cheryl’s children, Marnie Harris (Ron) and Terry Lee Taylor; sister, Diane Wagner and sister-in-law, Linda Fear, and numerous nieces and nephews. Duane Lewis Fear passed away at Swedish Hospital ICU, Seattle, WA on Saturday,

She also took on the role as District Superintendent’s wife when Norm served as the Superintendent of the Columbia River District and later the Seattle District. They retired in 1995 and moved to Wesley Homes in Des Moines, Washington. While a support and wise partner to Norm, Lola also had a role entirely her own, outside the life of her church. As an elementary school teacher, she delighted in teaching first graders for many years. Mrs. Lawson was a much loved teacher who gave her young students a good foundation for the years to come. But the role Lola loved the best was being a support to her husband and her daughters. She was an ideal pastor’s wife when that wasn’t an easy thing to do. She shared in the ministry of the church in hospitality and a gracious welcome to all. As a Superintendent’s wife she was involved in making new pastors and their spouses feel comfortable in the world of the church. She would open her home to students, pastors and parishioners. Bishop Elaine J.W. Stanovsky shared that as a pastor with growing children, she would think of the days when the Lawsons would open their home to students from UPS – marveling at how Lola made it seem so easy – balancing pastoral life and raising children. The Lawson home was always a place of welcome. Lola was a devoted mother to her daughters and delighted when grandchildren would arrive. She was always planning and preparing for the next family event. Lola was an avid family photographer and would document events, sharing her photos with friends. Retirement didn’t slow Lola down. She was tireless in visiting at the Health Center, writing cards for all occasions, making phone calls to the ill and lonely and playing piano for the Memory Care Center. She always knew who was in need, who needed some special care and found energy to reach out to as many as she could. She was also her own form of Women’s advocate, helping women reach their potential through PEO (Philanthropic Education Organization), through United Methodist Women and numerous individual projects. Throughout her whole life Lola Lawson was a woman of deep and abiding faith. She spent hours each day reading and studying the Bible and lifting others up to God. She cherished her family, her friends and her God. She passed away at the age of 83 on February 7, 2017 at Wesley Homes, where an overflow crowd gathered, those who counted Lola as a friend, those Lola counted as friends… on February 19, 2017. Lola is survived by her beloved husband, Norm; daughter Ellen (Glenn) Eddy; daughter Kathy (Jim) Polo, 5 grandchildren, one great granddaughter and was thrilled to be expecting a great grandson.

* * * * * * *LAITY IN THE LIFE OF THE CONFERENCE WHO HAVE DIED

SINCE THE LAST ANNUAL CONFERENCE

JANE BRAZELL ~ was born September 15, 1965 and died unexpectedly on March 8, 2017. She was only 52 years old. In her short lifetime, she seemed to have packed in a few more lifetimes. She was a powerhouse. Jane was a Lay Member to Annual Conference for many years. She was a member of University Place United Church, and in the last 12-18 months of her life, she had affiliated with Create Commons in Tacoma, and was very involved with them in their emerging ministry. During her time as a member of the University of Puget Sound staff, Jane filled a variety of roles – including as a member of the Associate Deans’ Office staff and as ASL interpreter for ASUPS President David Bahar ‘02 – but for many was best known as a frequent ASL interpreter for campus events and individual students, faculty, staff, and guests with a hearing disability. Following her death, several campus members shared memories of Jane sparring with Swope Lecturer Reza Aslan as he tried to stump her ASL by speaking in Farsi, and the pride she had in helping translate for one of her intellectual and spiritual heroes, Pierce Lecturer Dr. Cornell West.


Outside of her specific professional roles, Jane was a constant advocate for inclusion, justice, and compassion. She was a proud queer woman. She was one of the first on campus to explicitly and unconditionally offer support and mentorship to transgender and non-binary members of the community, and was someone who saw everybody as someone who deserved her attention and her care. Through her beloved niece, Becca, a student at the Univ. of Puget Sound, Jane met students experiencing food insecurity and was a crucial voice in beginning the push to establish the now fully-functioning student food pantry at the University of Puget Sound. Jane embodied the “Once a Logger, Always a Logger” mentality, continuing to serve the campus in dramatic ways long after the end of her university employment. Beyond campus, Jane was a long-time advisory board member for the Youth Chaplaincy Coalition (serving the spiritual and religious needs of incarcerated youth in Washington State); active with OASIS and the Rainbow Center, particularly in supporting LGBTQ+ young people in Tacoma; active with the Reconciling Ministries Network and was a strong supporter of Camping Ministries, volunteering every year with Operation Purple Camp, an interfaith/intercultural summer camp at Lazy F Camp in Ellensburg, WA, designed to support the particular needs of the children of military families. On the day she lost consciousness, Jane hosted the culmination of a 2 year project of hers: a church-campus-community workshop on Bystander Intervention with acts of bias and hate, bringing together faculty, students, community activists, retirees, and local church folks; in an effort to bring people together for justice in Tacoma. She was a woman of quick humor who held people accountable to the pursuit of their best selves. She loved to cook and she loved sunrise views of Mt. Rainier from her apartment. A memorial service to celebrate Jane’s life was held Sunday, March 26, 2017 in Kilworth Memorial Chapel on the campus of the University of Puget Sound.

ISAIAS “IKE” CAPS - Isaias Capistrano Caps was born in Bauang, La Union Philippines on February 10, 1924, to Hilarion and Gregorio Capistrano. Ike enlisted in the Navy on November 12, 1941 and retired from active service after 21 years on June 14, 1963 as a YNC (Yeoman Navy Chief). “Ike” served on many ships during his service and never could get the love of ships out of his system, so when he retired, he returned to Seattle and worked as a Supervisor of Shipbuilding for another 20+ years. He received many medals for his service in the Navy and numerous awards from his job. Ike was a 1968 chartering member of Beacon United Methodist Church in Seattle, WA. Up to the time of his death, Ike was an active and beloved member of his church. He never stopped serving God and God’s people through the different ministries of the church. Ike was also an active member of the Seattle District Lay Leadership, and of the PNW Annual Conference, for many years. He once served as Chair of the Ethnic Ministry Local Church Committee which eventually became the Commission on Ethnic Ministries. In recognition of his great contributions and outstanding humble service to the church and the PNW Conference, Ike received The Bishop’s Award in 1980. A list of the Councils and Commissions which Ike Caps served on: 1. The General Commission on Religion and Race in Washington, D.C. (8 years); 2. The Conference Commission on Religion and Race (8 years); 3. The Conference Council on Ministries; 4. The Conference Commission on Ethnic Ministries; 5. The Conference Board of Global Ministries. Ike also loved the outdoors and took his family and friends camping and fishing, rain or shine. The family’s best memories are of sitting around the campfire and road trips with the family and the grandkids. Ike and Juanita were blessed with 12 grandchildren: Roddy, Stephanie, Jason, BJ, Jamikay, Isaias, Coni, Bryce, Gavin, Cody, Seth, and Raymond and 9 great-grandchildren:


Olivia, Justine, Braxten, Grace, Braylen, Mason, Gage, Orion, and Alexander. He passed away peacefully at the age of 93 in his home, surrounded by his family, on Thursday, May 11, 2017. He is survived by his sister, Iluminada (Reuben) Batoon, brother-in-law Romeo Mojica and 4 children: Ron Caps, Sam Capistrano, Ramona Capistrano, and Becky (Fred) Eslava. He was uncle to over 75 nieces and nephews.He was preceded in death by his wife Juanita, son Isaias Jr., brothers: Samuel and Bonifacio Capistrano, and sisters: Josefina Capistrano Veloso and Trifina Capistrano Mojica. Ike was truly a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. Well done, good and faithful servant!

STEVE FARMER – was known to us as the Food Services Manager at Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center in Ellensburg, WA, where he worked, beginning in 2011, for 5 years and three months. In that time, it is estimated that he served about 150,000 meals to over 18,000 people! We honor him for the loving energy and spirit he shared with the campers who came through the Lazy F Camp over the years, for his laughter and dedication, hard work and innovations with the menus and especially for his famous Taco Bar. His life was cut short by an aortic aneurism at the age of 63. He was still working at the Lazy F Camp at the time of his death. Steve was born on November 12, 1952 to parents Jerry and Verna Farmer. Steve had four siblings, an older brother Mike, a younger brother Dave and two younger sisters Terri and Sharon. Over the years his family lived up and down the west coast in Pasadena, California, where he was born, along with other towns such as Redmond, Washington; Chino, California; and Beaverton, Oregon. Steve attended Redmond High School. From 1971 through 1975, Steve lived in Corvallis, Oregon and worked at A&W and the Gay Parfait restaurants to pay his way through college at Oregon State University. He enjoyed working in food service and seeds of his dream: to own a restaurant, were planted in those years. Steve graduated from OSU in 1975 and took a teaching job in Valsetz, a small logging town in the coastal range close to Corvallis. He taught 4th and 5th graders and even though teaching in a remote, rain soaked mill town provided many challenges, Steve loved it. He poured his heart and soul into his classroom, like he did for everything else in life. He was married to Cathy, moved to and taught in Australia, dazzled people with his guitar music, kept teaching school, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef, body surfed the waves of Perth and drove across the massive Nullabor desert in his favorite VW bus. Still he dreamed of starting a restaurant. They moved to Beaverton OR, and two years later, he quit teaching and opened his restaurant named Acapulco’s Gold Mexican restaurant in NW Portland. It had a feeling of home, a feeling of festive parties, a feeling of belonging to something wonderful. They had two children who came to the restaurant in baby carriers, while the couple worked in the restaurant. In addition to opening Acapulco’s Gold, Steve opened numerous other establishments. He opened Mexican restaurants in Hillsboro, Tigard, SW Portland, along with a bar in NW Portland and a deli in NE Portland. Obviously hospitality was in Steve’s blood, but his was a special kind of hospitality. It was Steve’s unconditional love and radical hospitality at “The Gold” that created a unique and very special community: a community where everyone was accepted and cherished. It was a very special time and place for all those who were part of the family. Acapulco’s Gold was an extension of Steve’s immense spirit and radiant love in action. The Farmer family’s most favorite place was the beautiful Wallowa Mountains, in eastern Oregon. Steve and his family would take summer vacations there as often as possible. The remote cabins along Wallowa Lake provided much loved time together away from the crazy pace of Portland life. Treasured family time hiking trails, riding the gondola up the mountain, horseback riding, go cart racing, renting boats and floating out on the lake, campfires and s’mores helped create private family treasures equal to the grand experiences of city life in Portland.


Steve loved his children, family and friends deeply. He loved his “restaurant family” and friends deeply. Still, later in life, there was a divorce. In 2010, Steve was reunited with his high school sweetheart, Claudia Guilford, after 40 years. They bought a home in Roslyn, WA, in the Cascade Mountains, and adopted a dog named Barkley, who mourns Steve’s passing… On May 28, 2011, Steve began working at our Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center. Steve loved his music and continued to dazzle by playing his Takamine 12-string guitar. Claudia worked with Steve at Lazy F Camp periodically, helping to prepare and serve food. They were together 6 years when his life was cut short. Not long before he died, he told Claudia “I love it here. I want to live here forever.” Steve Farmer was airlifted from Yakima, and died on September 3, 2016, at OHSU in Portland, Oregon. Dave Burfiend, Lazy F Camp Director had these words to say of Steve: “Steve was a great cook, teacher, mentor, staff member, and servant. He was able to combine his love and enthusiasm for cooking with his desire to help young people learn that cooking is not just following a recipe, but a process to create nourishing meals that people enjoy.” His kindness, laughter and love for life was truly contagious and touched many people. A Memorial Service to celebrate his life was held in Portland, OR at McMenamins Edgefield, on November 12, 2016. On December 11, 2016 A Celebration of Life and Gifts was held at Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center for Steve, starting with a program and concluding with a traditional camp meal: a Taco Bar in the Dining Hall, which featured Steve’s recipes for homemade salsa, refried beans and specially seasoned beef and chicken. Steve is survived by his partner, Claudia Guilford and his son and daughter Jesse and Shawna Farmer. JANICE ELAINE (BURNS) HALLADAY - was born on December 28, 1943, in Coupeville, WA, and passed away on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2017 at home in Mill Creek, Washington with her husband, Nik, at her side. Janice had been diagnosed with ALS in December, 2015. Janice was born to parents Ralph and Eva Burns on December 28, 1943 in Coupeville, WA. She graduated from Everett High School in 1962. Janice and her husband of 54 years, Nik, were married on April 20, 1963 in Everett, WA. She will be remembered as someone who always put the needs of family and friends ahead of her own—always there when you needed her. She enjoyed hosting family gatherings and celebration of all kinds, making sure that each person felt loved and supported on their special day. Janice was an avid sports fan, participating in soccer in her younger days and later enjoying both her grandchildren’s teams as well as all the Seattle professional teams. She enjoyed spending time at their summer home on the shores of Lake Chelan, reading books and traveling the world with her husband Nik and many of their closest friends. We knew Janice because of her wonderful supportive work within the PNW United Methodist Church. Janice was a worker. She served on the Board of Deaconess Children’s Services when it still existed, on The Conference Camping Board of Stewards, on the Conference Board of Pensions and on the Northwest United Methodist Foundation. She had a very successful 25 year career in the banking industry, as head of operations for Pioneer Bank and then later serving on the Board of Directors for Cascade Bank. Janice was also active in the community serving on several local non-profit boards including the Community Ministry Board and Foundation for Providence Everett Medical Center as well as Volunteers of America. Janice was a person of faith: a deep inner faith and an outward, active faith. And many people were touched as a result. Janice lived a life of service. Service was a part of Janice’s caring, creative work. She is survived by her husband, Nik; mother, Eva Mae Burns; brother and sister-in-law, Bob and Joan Burns; sister-in-law, Joy Halladay; son, Tim Halladay; daughters, Shanley Johndrow


and Michele Kennedy; and seven grandchildren. A memorial service to celebrate the life of an incredible woman, Janice Halladay, was held at Cedar Cross United Methodist Church on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 11:00am. JAMES (JIM) ANDREW MOORE JR. - was born in Spokane on November 9, 1941, the second child and first son of James and Louise Moore. The son of a Methodist pastor, Jim spent his grade school years in Omak and attended North Central High School in Spokane. He was active in music, church and sports – playing football for North Central and then for the University of Puget Sound. It was during college that Jim attended a service where he felt a call to ministry. His roommates were amazed, this son and grandson of Methodist ministers didn’t strike them as the preacher type. Jim went on to study at Wesley Seminary in Washington, D.C. Having grown up in rural Eastern Washington, his faith was challenged and shaped by his experiences of the inner city. The needs of the world cried out to him from the streets. At the end of his first year while he was studying for finals he was overwhelmed with tunes in his head. Unsure of where God was calling him, Jim set aside his books and wrote the song “Down the Road of Life”. His call was not for parish work but to make the world his parish. He was going to trust where God was calling him. During his time in seminary he met and married his wife Vivian Davis. It was an important time for Jim, to listen to the spirit moving within him as he began collaboration with his new partner, Tom Paige. The two formed a music ministry “Dust and Ashes”, and traveled the country, sharing their witness through music and songs. Following a number of years of national touring Jim and Vivian made a commitment to return home to Central Washington and create a music ministry. Over the years Jim brought joy through funny songs and serious ballads. He was commissioned to write a song for the (then) new Covenant United Methodist Church in Spokane. Through his Jim Moore Creative Ministries he appeared as a guest artist and speaker at churches, camps and retreats across the northwest. Whether at a camp fire, in front of youth CONVO or for a couple of kids in Sunday School Jim’s love of God’s people was infectious. For many in this Annual Conference, Jim’s music was the soundtrack of their call to ministry. His heart was always drawn back to Ephrata and Blue Lake where the Moores raised their two sons, Jonathan and Joshua. Jim was very involved with his local community serving as a volunteer fire fighter and a coach of pole vaulting at Ephrata High School. He and Vivian retired to Blue Lake where he led summer services. Jim believed that knowing Jesus is not a religion but a relationship to be enjoyed. In 2014 Jim and Vivian moved to Spokane to be near family. He continued to play guitar and to sing to the other residents and staff at the Fairwood Retirement Village where they lived. To the last day of his life Jim’s calm and sincere smile could still endear people to him. Jim died in Spokane on August 21, 2016 at the age of 74. He is survived by his wife Vivian, two sons Jonathan and Joshua, his sisters Bonnie Hembt and Marilyn Saber, and four grandchildren. Services were held at the Northview Bible Church and a graveside at Fairmount Memorial Park – just down the road from Albi stadium where Jim played High School football.

VERA ORA WINSLOW- former Inland District Administrative assistant, passed away at home on October 14, 2016, following a brief battle with lung cancer. She was born at Fort Polk, Louisiana on June 23, 1945, the second daughter of Ralph Winslow and Vera Ora Taylor. After a rocky beginning that included early years on a Snohomish dairy farm and homesteading in British Columbia, the family settled in Spanaway, where she graduated from Bethel High School in 1962. She learned to play piano at a local Nazarene church, and developed a life-long love of reading, and learning all she could of Scripture, and of life… Vera Ora completed one year at Seattle Pacific University, then began work with the Boeing Company as a secretary. She married Richard Stevens, a Boeing engineer, and they had two


children, Rick Stevens and Ingrid (Pierre) Falip. A second marriage, also to an engineer, took them to projects in North Carolina, North Dakota, and Montana. As that marriage ended, she returned to Ballard, completed an AA degree at North Seattle College, worked in property management and then for the financial aid departments of City University and Bastyr University. While working for City University, she completed her BA in Business Administration in 1993, and while at Bastyr, completed a Masters in Applied Behavior Psychology in 1995. After a 2001 move to Spokane to work for Apollo University’s financial aid department, she came to really enjoy her adopted community, jumping into the community theater, musical theater, and the local opera scene. She joined Central United Methodist Church, where she sang in the choir and assisted with financial management. When Apollo was bought out and her job ended, the Inland District Superintendent Rev. JoAnna Olson hired her as the District’s Administrative Assistant in 2007. She retired in 2014 with the creation of the District Service Center. She oversaw district financials, organized files, wrote letters and prepared paperwork. She was amazingly organized, and had a place for everything. When she needed to, she tackled new software and mastered new hardware as it came along with good skill and humor. She threw herself into the role as an ambassador for the district, visiting churches in the area when they had a bazaar or rummage sale, connecting with people, building good will for the district. She was always willing to extend a helping hand with a difficult-to-complete form, and was a pleasure to work with. The church extends its gratitude for her faithful service to the Inland District.

She participated in many of the Lay Speaking courses the district offered, along with Conference-wide training for Certified Lay Ministers, and she was a quick study, with a good sense of her limits and her gifts. She was invited to preach in several churches as a Lay Speaker, and she studied deeply in preparation for her messages. She was also known for her photography, which graced the covers of District Directories and the walls of the district office. She is survived by her sister Rosetta Kastama, her son, Richard Stevens, her daughter, Ingrid Falip and three grandsons—Theodore, Benjamin and Quentin Falip. A celebration of her life was held at 1:30 PM on Saturday, October 29th, at Audubon Park United Methodist Church in Spokane, WA. Rev. Dale L. Cockrum officiated at her service.

~ DISCONTINUED CHURCHES ~

Rocklyn Zion United Methodist Church, Davenport WA

The church started in the fall of 1883. Since there was no church building, the services were held in the home of Gottlieb and Mina Mielke for the first six years. Then their first pastor arrived on June 15, 1884. In the summer of 1889, a new church building was erected and completed for the dedication services which were held October 22, 1889. After this, the church was known as the Zion German Methodist Church. Since most of the congregation was of German descent, all worship services, preaching, singing, and Bible reading were in German. During the summer of 1905, the old Zion church was replaced by a new and more spacious one, which was built on the same location. The new Zion Methodist Episcopal Church was dedicated on October 22, 1905. Their first female pastor was Mrs. Millie L King, appointed in 1945. She served the church until September 1950. They had many years of camp meetings, celebrations, and annual church picnics. Life was full of anniversaries and celebrations throughout the years, including their centennial celebration in 1983. Rocklyn Zion UMC will officially close at the end of June 2017, with their closing worship service on July 9, 2017 after 134 years of meaningful ministry. They were resilient and faithful until the end. Upon closure, they will become a “community chapel” (with its’ own local board of directors) for special services, including weddings and funerals, fall and spring “hymn sings” and other parties and celebrations, whereby they will continue to reach out to the community with God’s grace. Most members will be transferring their membership to either Harrington UMC or Davenport UMC.

Spirit of Grace, formerly First United Methodist Church, Everett, WA

The Methodist Church in Everett Washington began in a home in 1892. Several churches originated through the years from that beginning. In July 2011, the two remaining churches, Everett First UMC and St. Paul UMC merged to form the Spirit of Grace UMC. Over the span of 125 years, children were educated, baptized and introduced to Christ through Sunday school and Vacation Bible School. Youth explored the neighborhood and the larger world in mission trips and local projects. Adults studied the Bible and life issues and engaged in local and international missions.

Most recently, a small, faithful group with the support of the congregation provided one day weekly 140 bag lunches to homeless individuals in Everett. The time has come to acknowledge that the current membership cannot financially sustain ministry and maintain the building on 3530 Colby.

Integral features of the building will be used by Cocoon House, an outreach to homeless teens in Snohomish County as they build a new facility on this lot. It is our hope that the legacy we leave behind as capital assets will fund future ministry presence by the United Methodist Church in Everett.

“For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, Yes.”


Korean United Methodist Church, Olympia, WA

Halleluiah! Praise the Lord Jesus who saves humanity through God’s churches. In 1993, Tacoma First Korean UMC invited Rev. Kwan Cho to be the Education Pastor. Rev. Cho came to the United States with his family. After serving six months as the Education Pastor, Rev. Cho and 30 members of Tacoma First Korean decided to plant a new church to reach the Korean community in the Olympia area. In the early years, Olympia Korean UMC grew to be sixty people in worship on Sunday mornings. However, the growth was not able to continue. A few years after the church began, Olympia KUMC started to lose its core-members. This is typical trend in Korean ministry because immigrant families often relocate to other states seeking better opportunities. Olympia KUMC soon had only a dozen members and was never able to regain its momentum. When Rev. Cho retired in 2016, the few remaining members in the church left. Over many years of ministry, the congregation exhibited fruit in the form of lives transformed. While the church was never able to build its own building as it had dreamed, it will leave a legacy in the form of a parsonage in Lacy, Washington. Rev. Cho and his wife were wholly devoted to the church for over two decades. While Olympia was a difficult place to grow a Korean church, Rev. Cho and his wife had indomitable spirits to keep the church open. He was so dedicated to the church Rev. Cho sold off his inherited properties in Korea and used the funds to support his ministry for the past twenty three years. This kind of devotion surpasses the expectations of any pastor in this day and age. Rev. Cho was a man of prayer and indomitable will. It is my prayer that God has received Rev. Cho’s sacrifice and devotion, allowing a new life to be born of its legacy. ~Written by Yong Kyu Park- Lead Pastor of Tacoma First Korean UMC

Central United Methodist Church, Spokane, WA

The church started 140 years ago in 1876. What began as a neighborhood church for the downtown area of Spokane (which meant most walked from home to the neighborhood church) had many years of vital ministry and they became the “launching pad” for most of the other area United Methodist Churches in Spokane (either directly or indirectly). Their history is marked with significant events, such as the beginning of Father’s Day. During Mother’s Day in 1909 a member of Central Methodist Episcopal church began a movement that had its first Father’s Day celebration in 1910, although it didn’t become a national holiday until 1972. Over the years, they developed a significant outreach to the homeless and hungry in Spokane through the beginning of Shalom Ministries, which continues to this day. Over its past few years, the congregation entered into a discernment process that would illuminate the fact that there was no feasible, sustainable or reasonable plan that would allow the congregation to stay in the building because of deferred maintenance. When that determination was reached, the congregation decided to faithfully complete its ministry. Their last service was on September 23, 2016, and the building was subsequently sold to another congregation in Spokane that had means to renovate and repair the building, and would allow Shalom Ministries to continue for at least two years in the current location. Some of the financial assets that remained from their endowment were gifted to Twinlow Camp & Retreat Center as well as Shalom Ministries upon closure, and the impact of this congregation will continue to ripple into the future.


Fern Hill United Methodist Church, Tacoma, WA

Fern Hill was founded in 1882 with the first Sunday school organized in 1880. At first, a Puyallup circuit riding pastor rode on horseback up the hill every Sunday for several years to deliver the sermons to residents in Fern Hill at whatever family’s residence opened their home for worship. People gathered to be blessed with God’s Word, christened, baptized, confirmed, married, or attend memorial services for friends and loved ones. A plain frame building was erected in 1889 on the land that George W. Byrd donated in 1887. The parsonage was built a year later in 1890. During this time, the congregation grew larger. Shortly after the second building was consumed by fire, the property at 501 South 84th Street was purchased. A new church building was completed in 1964 and still stands today. At the time of the new building, there were 357 members with 278 participating in Sunday School. In the late 1970s as people moved away from Fern Hill, the church suffered a decline in attendance. God blessed the congregation with a new tenant, Hebrew Embassy Christians, in the 1980s, who were warmly welcomed by the Fern Hill congregation. In 1989, the congregation celebrated its 100th anniversary. Hilltop City Assembly of God joined Fern Hill as a tenant in 2015. The three congregations have worked tirelessly together to build the Kingdom of God in the Fern Hill neighborhood Fern Hill UMC was always an integral part of Fern Hill’s community events. In recent years, they have participated along with their tenant congregations to gather items for Fern Hill Elementary School, provide Thanksgiving Dinners for families in the area, and participated in a Christmas Giving Tree for Cardea House and Pierce County’s DOC Angel Tree program.

The faithfulness of members of Fern Hill UMC throughout the decades and years are an inspiration to all of us. May we all be granted the same courage to proudly proclaim “I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.” (1 Tim 4:7-9)

Grace United Methodist Church, Walla Walla, WA

Grace United Methodist Church began its life in Walla Walla as the “Little White Church” on Pleasant Street in 1908. Grace required a permanent building after the tent, which had been erected in 1905 to serve as a Sunday school, blew away. Grace Methodist Episcopal merged with Marvin Memorial (a Southern Methodist congregation) in 1955 to form what was known as the United Methodist Church in Walla Walla. In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church combined with the world wide Methodists to become the United Methodist Church. When the Walla Walla E.U.B. congregation joined with United Church, rather than becoming the “United United Methodist Church” the congregation decided to return to the name Grace, thus: Grace United Methodist Church.

Grace United Methodist Church served continuously in her community for over 109 years. The congregation of Grace once boasted rosters of over 400 members. The membership is still active in ministries of homelessness, feeding the poor and disenfranchised through Pantry Shelf, and assisting in the distribution of aid through Helpline in Walla Walla. In life, Grace provided for the people of Walla Walla, Washington and its residents. In Grace’s death and transformation, Grace UMC will live on in the legacy of its people, as they now join new faith communities and in the generous giving to life-affirming ministries in the city of Walla Walla and the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference.


White Bird Community United Methodist Church, White Bird, Idaho

The White Bird Community Church first appeared in 1906. The building was built in 1909. A warranty deed for the property where the building stands was made in February 16, 1909, in consideration of one dollar paid. Charles Bentz, a resident of White Bird, was determined that since his wife wanted a church to attend that she should have it. He along with the community as a whole set about providing a building. The first pastor named in the church records, C.W. Everett, served from March to September 1908. Thirteen other pastors are listed but, there were times when it was left to be supplied.

In 1929, with the Idaho County Mission, Rev. Everett M. Filbert was pastor. At the time of the Methodist union, it was attached to the Grangeville circuit with Rev. Nelsen C. Pierce, pastor. In 1950 White Bird was still with Grangeville with Rev. LaVerne Tooley as pastor. In 1964 William E. Strance was pastor. Over the years the church has struggled, going thru several periods when they thought they were going to close.

In the eighties the community came together to keep the church going. At times, services were only held every other month. They have been struggling ever since, although meeting weekly, and it finally became evident this year, 2017, after 111 years, that they didn’t have enough critical mass to keep it going. Their closing worship service was held on May 7, 2017, and now most members will be transferring their membership to Grangeville United Methodist Church.

The current plans are for a parishioner to purchase the parsonage for a quilting business, and a local family to purchase the church sanctuary building for an antique shop, so the property will continue to serve the community of White Bird, ID, albeit in a different manner.

M. HISTORICAL

The Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church is a continu-ation of the work of the Methodist Church and The Evangelical United Brethren Church and their predecessor churches in Washington and Northern Idaho. Although these two churches united in 1968 to form The United Methodist Church, it was not until 1971 that their successor conferences in this area participated in a merger which joined the Washington-northern Idaho portion of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference (E), formerly EUC, with the Pacific Northwest Annual Con-ference (M), formerly Methodist, to form the present Conference. ertinent historical data is to be found in the journals of this Conference and its prede-cessors. The 1972 Journal of the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church brings together material concerning all of its predecessor conferences.

A. REPORT FROM CONFERENCE STATISTICS

Conference statistics shows a shift in the size categories of our churches and a trend of decline in overall attendance. Using the designations Corporate (351+), Program (151-350), Pastoral (51-150), and Family (up to 50), here’s the data. You will also see the annual total of reported Baptisms across the Conference. 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Corporate (351+) 2 2 2 1 1 Program (151-350) 29 27 27 26 23 Pastoral (51-150) 117 110 114 108 104 Family (< 51) 98 99 104 109 117 Conference Baptisms 471 502 476 398 347 In 2012 there were 187 churches with less than 100 in average attendance. In 2016 we have 190 churches in that size category. This number is significant as it is the number generally accepted as the number needed to sustain a full time ordained pastor.

CONFERENCE RULE CHANGES

Initial and Final Report of the Rules Committee 2017 Pacific Northwest Annual Conference

June 15-17, 2017 Note: in all rule change proposals below, deleted text is struck-out; new text is bold and underlined. Part 1: Report concerning Petitions and Recommendations in the Pre-Conference Handbook for vote:

1. PCH Page C-10 Petition 14, Rule VII, Sec. 3 (d) (2016 Journal, p. N-23), as follows:

New churches without a previous history from which a grade point can be arrived at shall be given a minimum grade point of .00025 for a period of two years, except that a new church of unusual initial strength and promise shall have a higher grade point to be determined by the Council and the District Superintendent. The minimum apportionment for a newly chartered church be set by formula by BOCD using the models they have developed that reflect both the current context and emerging new ministry models.

Rationale: The evolving context in the PNW and our desire to adapt by experimenting with new ministry models makes a single, rigid formula cumbersome and restrictive. The BOCD is ideally situated to make and keep our formula current and adaptive to changing environmental shifts.

Part 2: Rules Changes considered by the committee upon request, and submitted directly to the Conference for vote:

1. At the request of the Connectional Table and Council on Finance and Administration, the Committee moves that Rule XI, Sec 2 (b.) (2016 Journal, p. N-28) be amended as follows:

The Annual Conference shall pay the one-time moving expenses, up to an amount set by the Annual Conference on recommendation of the Council on Finance and Administration, of the following persons: a retired minister a minister retiring under appointment from a local church, a minister on Disability Medical Leave, the surviving spouse of an active minister under appointment to a local church, the surviving spouse of a District Superintendent, and the surviving spouse of a minister appointed to the Conference staff.

Rationale: The current practice is to pay moving expenses of retired pastors under appointment to local church but not retired pastors who are not serving a local church. The Table and Council felt that the rule needed to reflect current practice. Disability Leave is a term no longer used by The Book of Discipline. The correct term is Medical Leave.

2. At the request of the Connectional Table and Council on Finance and Administration, the Committee moves that Rule XI, Sec 2 (c) (2016 Journal, p. N-26) be amended as follows:

Seminary students, Candidates for ministry or ministerial members clergy being appointed from beyond the conference boundaries (including ¶337.1) who are transferring in and being appointed as pastor shall may be reimbursed for moving costs according to a schedule of allowable amounts recommended by the Council on Finance and Administration and approved by the Annual Conference.

Rationale: The rule is being rewritten to line up with current practice.


3. The Rules Committee moves that Rule V, Sec. 3(a)(2) (2016 Journal, p. N-10) be amended as follows:

Recommendation Assignment: The Conference Office of Connectional Ministries, in consultation with the writer(s) of the legislation, is empowered to assign recommendations to the appropriate Focus Session and to withdraw and reassign said recommendations at any time before a report on said recommendations is brought in. The Conference may decide the appropriate number of Focus Sessions needed based on the resolutions, recommendations, petitions and proposals for Conference action submitted by April 15th.

Rationale: The term “Conference” is vague and does not specifically specify who makes the assignments

of petitions to focus sessions. This rule change gives that ability to a specific group.

4. The Rules Committee moves that Rule V, Sec. 1(a) (2016 Journal, p. N-8) be amended as follows:

The Annual Conference Sessions Planning Committee shall be composed of the following: the Bishop of the Area, who shall be the chairperson; the Host District Superintendent, the Conference Lay Leader, the Dean or Secretary of the Cabinet; the Conference Secretary; one Youth appointed by the Bishop; one Young Adult appointed by the Bishop; the chairperson or a representative of the Board of Ordained Ministry; the chairperson of the Orders of the Day; the Conference United Methodist Women President; Conference United Methodist Men President; chairperson or representative of Committee on Persons Living with Disabilities; chairperson or representative of the Annual Conference Worship Team and, without vote, the Director of the Conference Office of Connectional Ministries and the Conference Treasurer. The Bishop shall convene the Committee no later than October 1, preceding the Annual Conference. In addition, there shall be a Sessions Local Arrangements Committee amenable to the Sessions Planning Committee, composed of the following: the Host District Superintendent who shall be the chairperson; a clergy person from the host church, institution or district; a lay person from the host church, institution or district; a local pastor named by the Host District Superintendent; the District Lay Leader of the Host District; the United Methodist Women President of the Host District; United Methodist Men President of the Host District; chairperson or representative of Committee on Persons Living with Disabilities; one youth or young adult appointed by the Host District Superintendent; Childcare Coordinator, and such other additional persons as the Sessions Local Arrangements Committee may enlist.

Rationale: Past practice has been for the chairperson of the Annual Conference Worship Team to participate on the Sessions Planning Committee. This change aligns the Rules with practice. Childcare is an important part of our Annual Conference sessions. Naming a Childcare Coordinator to serve on the Sessions Local Arrangements Committee affirms the importance of this role for the Conference.

5. The Rules Committee moves that Rule V, Sec. 3(b)(2) (2016 Journal, p. N-11) be amended as follows:

Tenure: Assignment shall be annual, and the restrictions specified in Rule VI, Sec. 2(c) shall not apply in the Focus Sessions. Membership on the Focus Sessions shall be limited to four consecutive years, provided that Chairpersons of conference boards and agencies reporting to a Focus Session may serve on that committee Focus Session during their tenure in office and provided further that Conference Executive Staff and the Conference Treasurer may serve on the Focus Session appropriate to their responsibilities.

Rationale: The term limit has not been enforced in the past. Having term limits for focus sessions limits the peoples’ passions and interests. Outside of clergy members, many members of conference do not serve for more than four years.


1. At the request of the cabinet, the Committee moves that Rule VI, Sec 1 (c)(2)€ (2016 Journal, p. N-16) be amended as follows:

Board of Congregational Development: Chairperson and Secretary of the Board, 7 at-large Board of Congregational Development members (at least one of whom must be between the ages of 18-35), up to 3 cabinet members, 4 Office of Connectional Ministries staff members (including the Director of New Faith Communities, the Director of Connectional Ministries, and the Director of Leadership Development for an Inclusive Church, and the Hispanice Coordinator), the Treasurer, the Chairperson of the Commission on Equitable Compensation and Mission Aid, and the Connectional Table Chairperson for Congregational Development for the Annual Conference. The Bishop will serve anas an ex offcio member.

Rationale: Currently there are eight (8) cabinet members of the Board. The cabinet would like to have flexibility to have less cabinet members required. Part 3: Corrections to Rules considered by the committee that make grammatical changes and changes to reflect previous rules, and Book of Discipline. These are submitted directly to the Conference without vote:

1. The Rules Committee changes Rule V, Sec. 3(d)(6) (2016 Journal, p. N-12) as follows:

Sub-Committees: Each committee focus session may elect sub-committees by whatever method it chooses.

Rationale: Since 2014 our language has been focus sessions not committees.

2. The Rules Committee moves that Rule VI, Sec. 3(e) (2016 Journal, p. N-21) be amended as follows:

The Conference Lay Leader shall be elected for a quadrennial term. The Associate Conference Lay Leader shall be elected for a four year term, beginning at mid-aquadrennium.

Rationale: This is a grammatical change.

3. The Rules Committee moves that Rule XI, Sec. 3(b) (2016 Journal, p. N-19) be amended as follows:

Parsonages shall meet housing standards established by the Annual Conference and available on the Conference website and in the District offices District Service Center.

Rationale: We do not have District Offices but use a centralized District Service Center.
