Judith Myers offered prayer.

31. 1998 BUDGET PROPOSAL: Michael Wuehler spoke of the process behindthe funding proposal. In January, persons gathered to dream and set direction; theysubmitted outcome and activity proposals, and they considered the question,“What do we want to do in 1998?”

Dennis Alexander spoke of the budget as a window to see the disciples of Christserving throughout the conference. He invited members to consider their vote asa symbolic commitment card for each of the local churches. He likened the processof voting to a sacred act.

A handout included three budget proposals. The first came from the Council onFinance and Administration (CFA), prepared with the assumption that item 522(health insurance premium subsidy for active clergy) would pass.

The other two proposals reflected options, if item 522 would be rejected. Oneproposal would raise the $360,000 needed to cover payment of 20% of the clergyhealth insurance coverage entirely through apportionments. The other would raisethe $360,000 partially through apportionments and partially through decreases inother areas.

Many spoke spoke of the impact decreases would have on their respective bodies.Deborah Walkes spoke against any cuts to the personnel budget, to the necessaryrole of support staff in the conference office.

Daniel Hair spoke of the necessity of reaching the goal of planting five new faithcommunities each year. Rebecca Sechrist said grants for mission ministries, suchas Simpson Housing, as well as hospital and campus ministries, would be cut.Gloria Kauls stated that short-term disability payments, as a well as benefit andretirement seminar funding, would be cut.

Terry Krinke reminded members that ten years ago the Board of Development(CBD) began. In 1995, the Annual Conference cut the budget from 5 to 3 staffpeople. In 1996, the restructuring process necessitated the CBD to further reduceits staff from 3 to 1. The current budget proposal, he said, would eliminate themission and ministry fund and follow-up for churches establishing trust funds. Itwould also, he further explained, make it difficult to follow through with trust funddonors.

26

Jean Fitch Justice spoke of the necessity for training for the Common Pool.

Dennis Alexander indicated that in the event item 522 would be rejected, thealternative scenarios violate the budget ceiling in the standing rules of theconference. Both options would require a suspension of the standing rules.

Michael Wuehler moved the adoption of item 522, that each local church pay100% cost of coverage in the MAC plan.

The dialogue/decision groups recommended rejection of the proposal. TheodoreColescott spoke in favor of rejection, because each local church will continue topay the coverage either in direct payment or payment through conferenceapportionments. He contended that it is more equitable to distribute the fundsthrough the conference.

Roy Vanderwerf spoke in favor of item 522. Currently, he said, smaller churchesthat pay apportionments in full subsidize larger churches that do not.

Wesley Gabel suggested an incremental approach to each local church paying100%. If item 522 were adopted as is this year, it may result in salary freezes forpastors of churches unable to make the jump.

Elliott George spoke in favor of rejection, based upon the United Methodistconnection. Small congregations will find this to be a hardship. There are, heasserted, disciplinary remedies available for those who do not pay apportionments.He encouraged those remedies be enforced.

Jeffrey Childs asked how other conferences deal with this issue. Michael Wuehleranswered that Minnesota is the only conference in our jurisdiction that pays aportion of health insurance through the conference apportionments. JohnSampson favored rejection.

Carl Caskey reminded members that in 1994 the conference faced a similarquestion about pensions. It rejected the incremental approach overwhelmingly.He recommended rejection of the proposal and discussion of the policy questionsinvolved.

Earl Gibson favored the proposal, on the basis that it would encourage localchurches to be more responsible toward paying their own expenses (as a opposedto apportionments).

27

The motion to adopt item 522 was rejected. With this rejection, there was nobudget before the conference within the limits of the standing rules. DennisAlexander moved for suspension of the budgetary standing rules.

Robert Hunter asked if the budget may be approved by simple majority vote.Bishop Hopkins responded in the affirmative. Roger Parks clarified that only therule with respect to the budget ceiling is being suspended. Once that rule issuspended, the conference may adopt any budget. Janet Morey spoke againstsuspending the rule. Byron Anderson proposed a decrease in the budget by theamount allowed for non-payment of apportionments.

Suspension of the standing rules failed. The conference directed DennisAlexander and the appropriate team from the dialogue/decision group to returnafter lunch with a new budget proposal within the standing rule.

SATURDAY JUNE 7, 1:30 P.M.

32. BUDGET PROPOSAL: Dennis Alexander presented a revised budget to thebody. There is a historic covenant among members and churches of the AnnualConference, he reminded members of the conference, which includes payingconference apportionments. Our current budget reflects an expectation of 89%payment. The revised budget proposal raises the expectation of payment to 92%.Cabinet members and leaders of the Common Table have agreed to helpcongregations to live up to their covenant.

This proposal includes the conference payment of 20% of health insurance forclergy. Although it increases our payment expectation, but because it remainsbelow the ceiling, Dennis Alexander proposed acceptance of this budget.

Janet Morey inquired when the conference last received apportionments at 92%.Gloria Kauls responded that during the years of the special campaign, specificallyin 1985, 92% payment was achieved.

Loren Nelson moved the following amendment: delete line 4 (MovingCommittee) by $20,000 for a total of $100,000, then add $20,000 to line 17(Forming New Faith Communities). He spoke of the necessity to begin new faithcommunities.

Roger Parks questioned how the moving expenses could be limited, since themoving bill is paid, regardless of the total. Rodney Stemme stated that movingexpenses in 1996 were approximately $164,000.

28

Paul Marzahn, who favored the amendment, spoke of planting and harvesting newfaith communities. He stated that the conference needs to plant seeds if it is to havea harvest. He introduced a member of Crossroads UMC, who also spoke in favorof the amendment.

Pamela Barbour favored the amendment and the need to start new churches.Calvin Daniels spoke against the amendment. He suggested the conferencechallenge persons to give more. Bonnie Shay spoke against the amendment.

Darrel LeBarron asked for prayers for Park Avenue UMC, which has not paid itsapportionments in full in many years, but would like to do better.

The amendment to move the $20,000 from moving expense to new faithcommunities passed. The main motion remained before the conference. RogerParks asked how close the budget proposal is to the ceiling. Kim Doverspikeresponded that the proposal is about $7,000 under the ceiling.

Elaine Shelby suggested that clergy pay 10% of their own health insurance as ameans to prevent cuts in the budget.

Terry Krinke said the budget is feasible from the perspective of the Mission andMinistry funds.

Carl Caskey asked what the ceiling is based on, and was told it is based on theapportioned amount. He then wondered what items will suffer, if we do not reach92% of apportionments.

Carl Nielsen III opposed the motion as unrealistic. He spoke against cutting newchurch development and Board of Development funds.

Walter Lockhart asked whether the proposal meets the Disciplinary requirementsfor a line item budget. Bishop Hopkins responded positively. Walter Lockhartpointed out that some of the line items are too large to know what is in each. Hespoke against approval of the budget, because we do not have enough information.

Aileen Williams stated that line items for 1997 are in the 1996 Journal. She saidthe conference is not a micro-manager. It elects capable persons to develop thebudget. The Annual Conference and the local church, she maintained, are not twoseparate entities. She suggested the budget be passed on faith in the conferencepersons who have worked diligently upon it.

29

Don Doane called for realism. The conference does not have the money, he said,and cannot continually subsidize the churches who do not pay theirapportionments.

Duane Sarazin pointed out that in 1995, the Metro East District was lowest inpercentage of apportionment receipts. In 1996, the district level increased by 9%.He spoke in support of the budget proposal, on the belief that apportionmentreceipts will be increased.

John Sampson moved the previous question. The motion carried.

Robert Hunter asked about the reduction of the Sessions Committee budget,recommended by one of the dialogue/decision groups. The response was that therecommendation will not affect the budget. Therefore, the budget as amended wasbefore the house. The motion carried. The budget was adopted.

33. SESSIONS REDUCTION: On the last sheet of the preconference budget,under the title “Administration and Finance,” the line entitled, “Plan andimplement the conference annual meeting,” indicates total costs of $132,800 andother income (AC registrations) as $110,800. The dialogue/decision grouprecommended that the total costs be reduced by 10%, which would reduce the$132,800 to $119,500, and reduce other income from $110,800 to $97,500. Thebudget of $22,000 would remain the same. The recommendation includedreducing the cost of fees and events, and the instruction is to be more prudent in theplanning and implementation of Annual Conference. The motion carried.

34. INSURANCE STUDY TEAM (Item #523): Deborah Walkes made amotion to authorize the team. Robert Hunter asked how our minimum salarycompares to other annual conferences. He invited the study committee to look notonly at those who are receiving minimum salary, but those receiving far beyondminimum.

Dusty Heiserman inquired whether clergy would continue to be part of a groupplan, if churches paid insurance individually. The answer was affirmative.

Katherine Austin Mahle asked how this committee would be funded. She wasdirected to line item 40.

The motion to create an insurance study team carried.

30

35. RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMISSION ON CAPITALFACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCE COMMISSION (Item#521): Dennis Alexander moved adoption. Rodney Stemme stated that the currentfigure is $8.5 million; he moved to change it to $10 million. The motion carried.

Terry Tilton asserted that the reserve fund has served to insulate the conferencefrom nonpayment of apportionment. He moved that, for the 1998 budget year, thereserve funds not be used to supplement the budget.

Peter Law asked if the motion would prohibit use of reserve funds during thesummer months. Terry Tilton responded negatively. He would like to see thereserve funds, he said, the same at the end of the year as at the beginning of the year.Norman Witt spoke against the motion, as did Janet Morey. The motion wasdefeated.

36. CLERGY CHARACTER: On behalf of the Board of Ordained Ministry,Kenton Johnson answered the Disciplinary question, “Are all the clergy membersof the conference blameless in their life and official administration?” with thefollowing response: “None of us is blameless before God. All stand in need of thecontinual grace of God. We give thanks for the faithful ministries of the clergymembers of this Annual Conference. All grievances, complaints, and charges areresolved or are under supervisory care.”

37. RESERVE POLICY (Item #513) was presented by Lee Ball. Because itincluded a standing rules change, it required a two-thirds majority vote. Themotion carried.

38. NOMINATING COMMITTEE: Jane Souhrada moved the acceptance ofthe report. Several persons added names and made corrections. The report wasadopted.

39. PASTORS’ 3% PERSONAL INVESTMENT PLAN (Item #511) wasmoved and passed by more than the required two-thirds majority.

40. EQUITABLE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION (Item #507)was moved. David Bohmert spoke against the recommendation as unfair tostudent pastors. The motion passed.

31

41. THE PETITION FOR DECLARATORY DECISION (Item #512) waspresented. Lee Ball called attention to the printed amendments. Norman Wittspoke against the petitions as a waste of time. The amendments were adopted.Byron Anderson moved to amend item 512 by deleting all questions, except 2, 15,and 18. He stated that the Discipline answers all the other questions. RodneyStemme opposed the amendment.

Jeanne Audrey Powers supported Byron Anderson’s contention. She referredmembers to a new book, By Water and the Spirit, which responds to some of theseissues. The amendment was defeated. The main motion was before the house andcarried.

42. SEEKING A LIVING WAGE FOR ALL MINNESOTANS (Item #501)was presented. Mary Keen moved a substitute motion from a dialogue/decisiongroup. Jeffrey Childs questioned naming the Methodist Federation for SocialAction (MFSA) as the author, since the substitute motion came from a dialogue/decision group.

Donna Martinson made a substitute to the substitute motion. After she spoke infavor of it, Roger Lynn, Marvin Repinski, and a lay person from St. Cloud spokein favor of the substitute to the substitute. It passed.

Kenneth Reiners asked what constitutes a living wage. Mary Keen responded thata living wage is defined as 110% of the poverty level (or $8 to $9 per hour for afamily of four).

Roy Vanderwerf asked why the living wage reference was in the original, but notin the substitute. Donna Martinson responded that the living wage movement wasnot supported in the dialogue/decision group.

Dwain Petersen moved to add to the substitute that the conference support the“Living Wage Movement in Minnesota.” Darlene Crawford asked, “What is theliving wage movement?” Roger Lynn responded that it is a movement toencourage the payment of a living wage to all persons.

Roy Vanderwerf added that it is also a movement to encourage municipalities tosupport appropriate and relevant policies when they attract new businesses. Thesubstitute motion, to support the living wage movement in Minnesota, wasdefeated. The substitute motion became the main motion. It passed.

43. YOUTH ASSET BUILDING (Item #506), based on extensive researchfrom the Search Institute, was moved. Roger Lynn stated there is money in thebudget for this. After speeches by Debra Wells and Todd Wilson in support of themotion, the motion carried.

44. HATE-FREE ZONES, ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND ISSUES OF HATE(Item #502), was presented by Marilyn Evans, along with two amendments fromthe dialogue/decision group, both of which were approved. The motion carried.

45. SUPPORT FOR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF GAYS ANDLESBIAN PERSONS (Item #503), was presented along with one amendmentfrom the dialogue/decision group, to refer to Faithful Inquiry. Bruce Rugglesspoke against the amendment on the basis that Faithful Inquiry is a studydocument. The amendment was defeated. Item 503 was adopted.

46. CHANGES IN LANGUAGE REFERRING TO ETHNIC-MINORITY(Item #518): Ellen Renee Dill spoke to the motion. The dialogue/decision groupplaced this on recommended for rejection list (RRL), but it was removed by a voteof at least ten persons. Marcial Vasquez spoke in favor of the motion. Philip Stromasked why the dialogue/decision group placed the item on the RRL. After a briefdiscussion, the motion passed.

47. EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE COMMITTEE consultant, John Sampson,gave an update on the committee’s work. The episcopal residence committeeincludes 3 persons, by Discipline, although the committee may ask consultants tomeet with them (consultants have no vote). The previous parsonage was fortyyears old and did not meet the North Central Jurisdiction standards for anepiscopal residence. The house, placed on the market for $166,000, sold for$158,000.

The committee considered many homes around the Twin Cities area. Its originaltarget price was $250,000 to $300,000, but nothing in accord with jurisdictionalstandards (particularly the handicapped accessible requirements) could be found.

The purchase price for the new residence was $378,500. With money from the saleof the previous parsonage added to funds in the Episcopal Residence Committee,the mortgage for the new house was $140,000. The General Council on Financeand Administration will pay two-thirds of all expenses related to an episcopalresidence, including the mortgage.

33

The new home meets all jurisdictional standards. Because it is only two years old,it should not need major maintenance for a number of years.

Robert Hunter moved his previous motion be moved to the Common Table. It wasseconded and carried.

Robert Hoeft, as a former chair of the Board of Trustees, expressed “sticker shock”over the price of the new home. He stated that the oversight for the past parsonagewas taken away from the Board of Trustees and given to the episcopal residencecommittee. He expressed his dismay at jurisdictional standards that require sucha high purchase price for a house.

Walter Lockhart asked if missional concerns were considered. He hoped that inthe future, the inner-city rather than the suburbs will be part of the discussion. JohnSampson responded that those concerns were considered. Because handicappedaccessibility was a top priority, a location in the inner-city would necessitateextensive and expensive remodeling.

Philip Strom said persons in local churches wonder about the disparity betweentheir living standards and that of clergy. He suggested that the disciplinarystandards may need to be rolled back. Ruth Phelps responded. Allen Clark Harrisreferred to the 1986 parsonage guidelines and wondered what the problem was.Wesley Gabel, embarrassed over the controversy, spoke of the need to showsupport for Bishop Hopkins.

Bishop Hopkins articulated his understanding of the situation. His own preferencewas to live in the Lake Harriet neighborhood, but there was difficulty finding ahome to fit the jurisdictional standards. He also stated that if the conference canopenly discuss the bishop’s residence in an honest and forthright manner, it will beable to confront and discuss anything in the future. Bishop Hopkins concluded thatthe body has the option of returning next year with instructions to sell the newepiscopal residence and purchase another one.

48. SOLIDARITY WITH UPROOTED CHILDREN (Item #500a) was readby Mary Keen. It was the result of a dialogue/decision group discussion. DanielBrewer spoke about the amendment. Jeffrey Childs expressed concern over theparticular day chosen for the observance. Mary Keen said churches may chooseanother day for the observance. The motion carried.

34

49. 1998 SESSION: Jeffrey Childs moved that the 1998 Annual Conference beheld on weekdays rather than a weekend. Jane Souhrada spoke against the motion,on the basis that a weekend session enables lay members to attend. A lay membersaid he pays for someone to do his job on the farm while he attends AnnualConference.

Donna Koeberl spoke against the motion, as did Gary Ritner and Roy Stiff. MaryEllen Nielsen spoke in favor of the motion. Kenneth Reiners called for thequestion. The motion was defeated.

50. HOPI PARTITIONED LAND (Item #524): Roger Lynn made a motionand it carried.

51. 1998 CONFERENCE PREACHER: Bishop Hopkins drew the name ofHugh Stephenson.

52. PRIORITIES: Judith Zabel spoke of the direction the Annual Conference isgoing. She invited all to shift their focus to looking into the future (long term ratherthan year to year). In a survey on the priorities of the Annual Conference,evangelism was first, social justice and outreach were second, and personalspiritual growth was third. She suggested the conference look at the small groupdiscussion guidelines that had been handed out. Table discussion ensued. TheCommon Table will deal with the suggestions written on the discussion forms.

53. GRATITUDE: Katherine Austin Mahle gave thanks to Patricia Hinker forher work as Council Director and Director of Transition. She presented her witha corsage. Patricia Hinker expressed her appreciation. The Love Offeringreceived thus far was over $49,000. Patricia Hinker expressed appreciation andthanks to the office staff, the worship team, Pastor’s Plus (vocal quartet), DianeToogood, the Sessions Committee, the Pages, and others.

54. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Jean Fitch Justice moved that all unfinishedbusiness be referred to the appropriate bodies. The motion passed.

Item #507 Equitable Compensation Recommendation

The Commission on Equitable Compensation makes the following recommenda-tions for 1998.A. There shall be a base cash compensation for each charge of the conference to

be calculated upon two factors:1) Minimum cash compensation2) Increments for seniority of the pastor

B. The minimum cash compensation for all pastors who qualify according to theOperating Policies of the Minnesota Annual Conference in 1998 shall be$21,815.1) Increments for seniority shall begin in the second year of service. Thereshall be added to the base cash compensation an increment of $335 per yearfor the first twenty years of full-time service in the Minnesota AnnualConference. In 1994 the conference acted to add 5 increments to be added onthe following schedule:1995 - sixteenth increment 1996 - seventeenth increment1997 - eighteenth increment 1998 - nineteenth increment1999 - twentieth increment

112

Seniority tenure for base cash compensation purposes shall be computed on thecalendar year rather than the conference year. Pastors received into the MinnesotaAnnual Conference by transfer of credentials shall have their seniority tenurestatus determined by the cabinet at the time of acceptance into the MinnesotaAnnual Conference. Years served by student pastors while appointed to attendschool shall not be counted as service years.

2) The minimum cash compensation and schedule of increments for seniorityshall be reviewed annually by the Equitable Compensation Commission.

C. In addition to the base cash compensation, every charge shall pay actualutilities for church owned parsonages. Utilities include: heat, electricity,water, water softener (including salt) where needed, sewage, garbagedisposal, basic cable costs, basic telephone costs for the parsonage and thechurch, and long distance calls applicable to the charge.

D. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall pay that portion ofthe conference health insurance program for pastors and their families notpaid by the Annual Conference.

E. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall pay the pastor’smonthly pension contribution for Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) andComprehensive Protection Plan (CPP).

F. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall match to 2% thepersonal contributions made by the pastor to the United Methodist ChurchPersonal Investment Plan (PIP) account.

G. In addition to the base cash compensation, the charge shall budget anallowance for continuing formation and spiritual growth. The conferenceminimum is $800 per year. It is recommended that the amount be equal to2.5% of the conference average compensation which for 1998 is $37,769 or$944.23. (See 1988 Journal, “Program of Continuing Education” underIII.B.5, page 234). This amount is to be expended only on a vouchered basisas reimbursement.

H. The pastor shall be reimbursed for vouchered actual mileage driven in parishwork at least equal to the Internal Revenue Service approved rate (31 ½ centsin 1997).

113

I. Each charge shall establish and budget for an accountable reimbursement planfor pastor’s business-related expenses which meets Internal Revenue Servicerequirements for such a plan. The conference minimum is $500.

J. In the event that it should be necessary and advisable to make exceptions to thepolicies stated above and in the Operating Policies of the conference, thematter must be referred to the Equitable Compensation Commission by thecabinet.

K. In addition to vacation time, the charge shall provide a period of time forcontinuing formation and spiritual growth. The conference minimum shall beone week per year. It is recommended that in addition, a one-month period beprovided within each quadrennium. (See The Book of Discipline 1996,¶348.2).

The changes in the above recommendations from 1996 Annual Conference actionare few in number:(1) An increase of $615 in the base cash compensation in “B”(2) An increase in the recommended amount (NOT minimum) for continuing

formation and spiritual growth in “F”

The rationale is as follows:Re (1): This is a 2.9% increase which is the Social Security cost of living

adjustment for 1997.Re (2): This increase is an adjustment in the amount on paper only for most

congregations. The $800 minimum is not changed.

Adopted (minutes, #40)

Item #508 Retired Clergy Housing Allowance

WHEREAS, the religious denomination known as The United Methodist Churchhas and functions through ministers of the gospel who are duly ordained orlicensed; andWHEREAS, the practice of The United Methodist Church is to provide aparsonage or a rental allowance as part of the gross compensation for each of itsactive ordained or licensed ministers; andWHEREAS, pensions paid to retired and disabled ordained or licensed ministersof The United Methodist Church are considered as deferred compensation and arepaid to said retired and disabled ordained or licensed ministers in consideration ofprevious, active service; and

114

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized that the MinnesotaAnnual Conference is the appropriate organization to designate a housing/rentalallowance for retired and disabled ordained or licensed ministers who are membersof this Conference;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:1. An amount equal to 100% of the pension payments received during the year of

1997 and 1998 be and is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowance foreach retired and disabled ordained or licensed minister of the UnitedMethodist Church who is or was a member of the Minnesota AnnualConference at the time of his or her retirement;

2. This rental/housing allowance shall apply to each retired and disabledordained or licensed minister who has been granted the retired relation orplaced on disability leave by the Minnesota Annual Conference and whosename and relationship to the conference is recorded in the Journal of theMinnesota Annual Conference and in other appropriate records maintained bythe conference;

3. The pension payment to which this rental/housing allowance applies shall bethe pension payment resulting from all service of such retired and disabledordained or licensed minister from all employment by any local church,Annual Conference or institution of The United Methodist Church or of anyformer denomination that is now a part of The United Methodist Church, orfrom any other employer who employed the minister to perform servicesrelated to the ministry and who elected to make contributions to the pensionfunds of The United Methodist Church for such retired minister’s pension.

Note: The rental/housing allowance which may be excluded from a minister’sgross income is limited to the lesser of (1) the amount of the rental /housingallowance designated by the minister’s employer or other appropriate body, (2) theamount actually expended by the minister to provide his or her housing, or (3) thelegally-determined fair rental value of the parsonage or other housing provided.As specified in Rev. Rul. 71-290 C.B. 92, “the only amount that will qualify forexclusion under section 107(2) of the Code as a ‘rental allowance’ is an amountequal to the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenancessuch as a garage, plus the cost of utilities.”

From the time of merger, the MN Annual Conference of the UMC has mandatedthat the congregation being served by a pastor pay the 3% “personal contribution”for the clergy’s personal pension share in the denominational pension program .The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits in cooperation with theCommission on Equitable Compensation is proposing a change to this policy.

WHEREAS the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) document identifies this amountas a personal contribution (as opposed to a church contribution) which carriescertain investment and withdrawal options by the clergy person; and

116

WHEREAS the 1996 General Conference action initiated a Personal InvestmentPlan (PIP) effective January 1, 1998, which will further allow the pastor to controland allocate this 3% as an investment and the clergy person may make thesecontributions on a pre- or post-tax basis, at that person’s discretion; andWHEREAS in accordance with the 1996 General Conference action, participationin this 3% pension funding will be optional on the part of the clergy person as ofJanuary 1, 1998 and personal contribution participation will not be required inorder to have the church pay the 12% portion; andWHEREAS current practice presents potential tax liability concerns for the pastorshould the church not include this amount on the pastor’s 1099 or W-2 at year end; andWHEREAS Minnesota is only one of two conferences practicing this policy,thereby making certain instructions and training inconsistent for our conference;

THEREFORE the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits incooperation with the Commission on Equitable Compensation recommends thateffective January 1, 1998, for any pastor electing to make personal contributionsto the UM pension plan, that congregation will match contributions on a 1 to 1 ratioup to 2% of the pastor’s salary and housing not to exceed 2% of the DAC. Thecongregation’s portion may be made on a deferred tax or on a tax paid basis (theamount will be added to the taxable income at year end) as appropriate on anindividual basis. The church shall NOT expend these funds for any other purposesthan as a contribution to the pension program of the UMC. In this process, theclergy person will:

1. Make an election to participate or not participate in the personal portion of theMPP.

2. Make an election to contribute the amount with tax paid dollars or through asigned salary reduction agreement make a contribution with pre-taxeddollars.

3. Make decisions on investment options according to Plan Document Rules.4. Make a decision as to the taxability of this matching amount from the

congregation and affect appropriate documentation.

FURTHERMORE:WHEREAS current practice is to have the pastor pay 1% as a salary deductiontoward the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) funding requirements; andWHEREAS payment of this amount is not optional nor can it be paid on a pre-taxbasis; andTHEREFORE as of January 1, 1998, the congregation will pay the 4.4% of thepastor’s pension base up to the DAC for their pastor(s) rather than the current 3.4%.

Item #512 Petition For Declaratory Decision

Action: Ask the Judicial Council (¶2616.2j) for an answer to the followingquestions regarding the new membership provisions of the 1996 Book ofDiscipline:

(1) Should the Roll of Baptized Members (¶215.1) include both baptizedmembers and professing members?

(2) Since the 1996 Discipline has no clause similar to ¶224 in the 1992 Discipline(which called for removal of preparatory members when they reached age 19),how far back in history must the pastor or membership secretary go when he/she is creating the Roll of Baptized Members (¶ 215.1) and is trying to identifypersons who were baptized but never became full members?

(3) Should persons formerly on the Roll of Preparatory Members who wereplaced on it without yet being baptized (1992 Discipline, ¶216.4) now betransferred to the Roll of Baptized Members?

(4) Does the second sentence of ¶214 imply that at the time of baptism an adultmay choose to be enrolled as a baptized member without being enrolled as aprofessing member?

(5) Does the second sentence of ¶214 imply that a baptized adult who wishes tojoin the church by profession of faith or transfer may be received at his/herrequest as a baptized member rather than as a professing member?

(6) When a professing member is removed by action of the charge conference(¶229.2b(4); 244), shall his/her name remain on (or be transferred to) the Rollof Baptized Members?

(7) If a professing member wishes to cease being a professing member, may he/she remain (or become) a baptized member?

(8) If a person ceases to be a professing member but remains (or becomes) abaptized member, is he/she to be listed on both the Roll of Baptized Members(¶231.1) and the Roll of Persons Removed From the Roll of ProfessingMembers (¶231.6)?

(9) May the Church Council survey the congregation to ask professing memberswhether they wish to remain professing members or wish to be listed only onthe Roll of Baptized Members?

118

(10)Is the register of baptized children (¶227.3) to be identical with the Roll ofBaptized Members (¶231.1) or is it to be a separate document?

(11)When parents transfer to another congregation, are their baptized children (upto a certain age) to be removed from the Roll of Baptized Members in the“sending” church and transferred to the “receiving” church without an explicitrequest from the children themselves?

(12)May a child withdraw from membership on his/her own initiative?

(13)May a parent validly communicate in writing the purpose of withdrawal(¶243) from baptized membership on behalf of a child?

(14)Should the Constituency Roll (¶231.3) include the immediate family of aprofessing member of the congregation even if those family members have aformal membership connection with another congregation?

(15) Does the 1996 Discipline, in making all baptized persons, including infants,members of The United Methodist Church, violate the Constitution ¶4, whichsays that persons are eligible for membership “when they take the appropriatevows”?

(16) If a young person’s pre-baptismal instruction takes place in accordance with¶222.1b and the person is baptized before entering the confirmation class, do¶215.2 and ¶231.2 require the pastor to enroll that person as a professingmember at the time of baptism (assuming the baptism is performed accordingto the ritual of the church)?

(17)Does ¶227.2 require that some children be carried on the roll of baptizedmembers of two churches simultaneously?

(18)Are all baptized members, regardless of age, entitled to vote at sessions of thechurch conference?

Rationale: Membership provisions need to be clarified for the sake of consistencyof application among local churches and pastors and for the sake of accuraterecord-keeping.Outcome: The Judicial Council will interpret the membership provisions and tellus how they are to be applied.

Item #513 Reserves Policy

To assist the conference in its operations, the Council on Finance andAdministration proposes the establishment of three Reserve Funds:General Operations Reserve Fund

A General Operations Reserve Fund shall be established in support of normalconference activities. The primary purpose is to provide the working capital fordaily operations, allow responsible budgeting by providing an interim allocationssource, plus be a source of funds for unexpected exposures or opportunities arisingbetween sessions. This fund shall have a minimum balance equal to 20% of thebudgeted expenditures less any amounts where the premise is the amount receivedis the amount paid out.

Implementation: This percentage is applied to the reserve level at the beginningof the year compared to the expense level for that year. Where the amount is lowerthan the desired level, an amount equal to the difference up to 10% of the requiredreserve level is to be placed into the next year’s budget to be apportioned. (It willnot be included in the expense level for the next year in calculating the next year’srelation to the 20%.)

Any excess in reserves will be used to assure the required levels for all RESERVEfunds and in consideration of any projected needs which would reduce these fundsbelow their identified bases. Interest earned on this fund will be used to support theGeneral Operations, Legal and Capital Equipment and Improvement Funds inmaintaining their minimum balances. Any additional available amount will beused to increase all three fund balances.

120

Rationale: For efficient, effective and stable financial operations, the MN ACUMC should maintain an operational cash reserve. The 20% level is based oncurrent practices for expenditures within the conference budget. It considers thelower level of receipts during the summer months while still maintaining ourcommitment to pay general church apportionments and regular expendituresduring these months.

Legal Reserve Fund

A Legal Reserve Fund in the amount of $200,000 is to be established. This fundwill provide a financial protection buffer to absorb significant and unexpectedlegal costs of the conference.

Implementation: This fund may be used at the direction of the bishop, dean ofthe cabinet and leader of the team of stewards. Should any amount be used and thefund balance falls below the prescribed level and if the shortfall can not berecovered from operational reserves or other sources at the end of that year, theamount of shortfall shall be placed into the next budgeting process. Interest earnedon this fund will be used to support the General Operations, Legal and CapitalEquipment and Remodeling Fund in maintaining their minimum balances. Anyadditional available amount will be used to increase all three fund balances.

Rationale: Any legal entity today must acknowledge that we are in a litigioussociety. When we consider the number of clergy, paid staff and volunteers, wehave the potential for legal expenses possibly beyond the amount which isallocated in any one year’s budget. This fund will provide for flexibility for themanagement team of the conference and provide for renewal of the fund balance.

Capital Equipment and Improvement Fund

A Capital Equipment and Improvement Fund in the amount of $50,000 shall beestablished. It may be used for purchase of equipment or remodeling expense insupport of conference operations. This disbursement would be in excess of anybudgeted amount.

Implementation: When funds are disbursed, replacement necessary to restorethe fund to the $50,000 level shall be from any excess general reserves at year end,by budgeting the amount necessary in the next budget cycle or by funding thedepreciation on the capital asset over a reasonable time period. Interest earned onthis fund will be used to support the General Operations, Legal and CapitalEquipment and Remodeling Fund in maintaining their minimum balances. Anyadditional available amount will be used to increase all three fund balances.

121

A team comprised of a cabinet member, two trustees, two representatives offinancial team (currently CFA), one member at large from the “Common Table,”the Steward of Administration and chaired by the leader of the team of stewardsshall be responsible for disbursements from the fund.

Rationale: The MN Annual Conference UMC has, in the past, had a sufficientlevel of reserves so that if a major piece of equipment or capital was needed therewas a reasonable option to pay for it from the reserves without having to place itinto the apportioned budget. With the establishment of a specific reserve policyand fund and decrease in the dollars available from all reserves, there is noflexibility for purchase of equipment or other capital from those reserves. Aseparate “sinking fund” for capital purchases is necessary.

Footnote Information:As of December 31, 1996, the operational fund balance approximates $1,020,000.It is proposed that the OPERATIONAL FUND be “funded” at its appropriatelevel, that being approximately $850,900. The LEGAL FUND would be “funded”at $150,000 initially and the EQUIPMENT FUND at $19,100. Future excessoperational reserves and earnings would be used to fund the latter two funds totheir minimum proposed levels. Should this not be possible, appropriate amountswill be placed into the operational budget starting in 1999.

Adopted (minutes, #37)

Item #514 Structure and Elected Leadership

Rationale: In order to realize our vision/mission, the Conference Restructuringand Staffing Team proposes an annual conference structure which will align ourlife around five (5) annual conference processes: Empowering the people of Godfor ministry, Engaging in corporate ministry and service, Forming ordained,consecrated, and licensed persons for spiritual leadership, Communication, andAdministration and Finance. These five (5) Annual Conference processes supportthe congregations in their mission: Inviting, forming, and sending faithfuldisciples to transform the world.

Action: Replace the existing membership structure of conference agencies, ascontained in the 1994 Journal, pp. 354-371, with the following structure andguidelines:

122

The structure of the Minnesota Annual Conference will fulfill the requirements of¶626 of the 1996 Book of Discipline to: “develop, administer, and evaluate themissional life, advocacy needs, and ministries of the Church in and through theAnnual Conference. It shall maintain connectional relationships; organize todevelop and strengthen ethnic ministries, including ethnic local churches andconcerns; and provide encouragement, coordination and support for conferenceagencies, districts, and local churches in their ministries of nurture, outreach, andwitness in accordance with the mission of the United Methodist Church.”

Leaders will be elected for two years, except in the first year when half of theelections to each body will be two years and the other half three years. Memberselected for the conference personnel committee will serve three years. Personswill be eligible to serve more than one term.

The membership and term limits for each organizational unit shall be consistentwith the 1996 Book of Discipline and all mandated functions will be incorporatedinto the functions of one of the ministry teams. New and existing ministryfunctions shall be considered by a ministry team. When a relationship is not clear,the Team of Stewards has the responsibility to refer these ministries to theappropriate ministry team.

There will be five (5) ministry teams, with the following leaders nominated by theConference Nominating Action Team, and elected by the Annual Conferencesession. Attention shall be given to matching leaders’ gifts for ministry andopportunities for ministry and racial, gender, district, age, and lay/clergy diversity.

The term of office will be set at two (2) years. Persons will be eligible to serve nomore than four consecutive terms. In the first year, to ensure continuity in futureelections, half of the persons elected will serve a term of three (3) years. Vacanciesbetween sessions will be filled by the Conference Nominating Action Team.

Each ministry team shall call together such teams as it deems necessary to do itswork. The members of these teams will be identified by each ministry team withthe assistance of the Discipleship Ministry Team. Action teams will be ongoing,and are specified in this legislation. Project teams are formed as needed, with atarget completion date. If, after evaluation, the purpose has been achieved, theywill not continue.

123

A representative from organizational units required by the 1996 Book of Disciplinewill be a member of the ministry team with corresponding functions, with theexception of the Committee on Investigations and the Administrative ReviewCommittee.

Archives and History Action Team

The five (5) ministry teams will come together at the Common Table. A majorfunction of the Common Table will be developing and keeping shared vision,coordinating the work of the ministry teams, and coordinating the conferencecalendar. It will recommend rather than legislate policies focusing oncollaboration, synthesis and evaluation.

Members of the Common Table will includeOne (1) representative selected by each ministry teamOne (1) representative selected by the Conference Personnel CommitteeTwo (2) at large members elected by the Annual Conference with

emphasis on ensuring diversity of the Common TableOne (1) representative selected by the cabinetThe five (5) stewards (having voice, but no vote)The bishopThe Conference Lay Leader, who will serve as hostOne (1) representative from the Commission on Religion and RaceOne (1) representative from the Commission on the Status and Role of Women

125

The representatives from the Commission on the Status and Role of Women andthe Commission on Religion and Race are also authorized to attend any meetingsof the ministry teams or action teams as they deem necessary to fulfill their role inreviewing and evaluating the priorities of the Annual Conference for racial,ethnic, and gender inclusiveness.

The members and team leader of the Conference Personnel Committee will benominated by the nominations committee and elected by the Annual Conference.The committee will be composed of no less than nine (9) and no more than twelve(12) members, one of whom will be the team leader. They will serve three (3) yearterms with the members elected in June of 1996 serving only one additional year.The committee has responsibility, in consultation with the stewards, for employingand supervising Annual Conference staff, developing and updating personnelpolicies, providing for a favorable work environment, and determining andsubmitting all staff and supporting office operation budgets.

Outcome: The structure is fluid, which will allow for organizing to meet needs.The structure has built in evaluation, to allow for assessing the effectiveness of ourministry. The structure utilizes the gifts of leaders by matching them in the rolesneeding their particular gifts. The structure focuses on the Annual Conferenceprocesses which support the congregation in its mission.Implementation: Action by the Annual Conference session will begin theimplementation which will then be carried forward by the elected leaders.Resourcing: The CRST anticipates meeting expense needs to be the same or lessthan continuing with our present structure.Jean Fitch Justice, Chair Conference Restructuring and Staffing Team,Conference Lay Leader

Item #518 Changes in Language Referring to Ethnic-Minority

Action: To substitute the words “persons of color” and “congregations of color”where we now use “ethnic-minority.”Rationale: Persons who are considered ethnic-minority are becoming less aminority in our country. It is also predicted that the ethnic-minority population ofMinnesota will have tremendous growth over the next decade.Outcome: Changing our language in reference to such persons and congregationswill be consistent with the changes in society at-large. Such changes also havepower because language is a powerful tool.

Item #519 Annual Conference Session Rules Change

Rationale: In the proposed structure of the Minnesota Annual Conference, thedirections and priorities affirmed by the Annual Conference session are turned intospecific plans and implemented through ministry teams, action teams, and projectteams. Their work will come to the Common Table which has the responsibility fordeveloping and keeping the shared vision.

The Common Table hears the issues, actions, and proposed directions that need tocome before the Annual Conference for discussion, discernment, and decision.Some will be legal and financial, others will be process and programmatic. Somewill require a vote and others will be consensual around major directions of ourmovement as a people of God.

The most crucial and/or controversial actions, which require the attention of thewhole Annual Conference will be assigned to dialogue/decision groups for study,discernment, and action.

Action: Replace standing rules as indicated:1. Annual Conference Session

C. Plenary Session Guidelines5. Replace the current paragraph (page 311, 1996 Journal) with thefollowing:

The Common Table will review the recommendations before the AnnualConference session for its action. It will prepare a consent calendar,referring critical and/or controversial proposals to dialogue/decisiongroups for study and action (see I.E.), recommending a consensus methodor vote. These proposals will be examined, placed on the Recommendedfor Adoption List (RAL), amended, returned without action, or placed onthe Recommended for Rejection List (RRL). If there are fewer than fivemembers of the group for or against the proposal, it may be placed on theRAL or RRL.

Items placed on the RAL or RRL by the Common Table or a dialogue/decision group may be removed by a petition signed by ten members ofthe Annual Conference, clergy or lay, and presented to the conferencesecretary.

133

Leaders of the dialogue/decision groups will meet as a coordinatingcommittee at the call of the bishop to deal with new or amended proposalsto eliminate redundancy so they may be presented to the plenary sessionin an orderly manner. The convener of the coordinating committee willbe named by the Common Table.

Following the reading of the RAL and RRL lists, at least one hour shalllapse before final disposition.

E. Replace Legislative Committees (page 312, 1996 Journal) with the following:

E. Dialogue/Decision GroupsAnnual Conference members will be invited and encouraged to attend thedialogue/decision group which speaks to the member’s passion and giftsof ministry. Each group will have a leader and secretary. The agenda forthese groups will be determined by the Common Table or a sub-committee of their naming. The Common Table will review the groupsfor diversity. The groups will spend time in dialogue, including Biblestudy, theological reflection, and prayer. They will also review theproposals referred to them by the Common Table.

A coordinating committee, called by the bishop, will harmonizerecommendations coming from groups dealing with the same legislativeissues into specific amendments which will be presented to the AnnualConference session for action.

Reports of the dialogue/decision groups and of the coordinatingcommittee, if the action has been assigned to more than one group will bepresented to the Annual Conference.

Outcome: The Minnesota Annual Conference session will give its attention tothose issues and actions most critical to our vision/mission.Implementation: Action by the Annual Conference session will begin theimplementation which will be carried forward by the Common Table.Resourcing: I.

G. Any items which have been adopted as Annual Conference action notnoted above be included as the conference secretary determines theyshould be included in the operational procedures section without furtherAnnual Conference action.

137

H. The manual and/or its newly adopted pages be available to localcongregations no later than September 15.

Rationale: After years of discussion about the Standing Rules and ConferenceStructure, our conference is at the point of putting changes in the way we areoperating into formal actions. The above recommendations are from requests tomake the standing rules user-friendly and more accessible to offer the help theywere intended to offer.Financial Needs: Unknown for this year. Given the expected savings with respectto Journal printing costs (due to the reduced number of pages), it is presumed thecost will be covered through the conference secretary’s budget in future years.Implementation: The conference secretary will have editorial authority tocoordinate actions of the 1997 Annual Conference in light of the adoption of theabove recommendations, and is to determine the easiest way to distribute themanual.

Adopted as amended (minutes, #24)

Item #521 Recommendation from Commission onCapital Facilities Development and Finance Commission

As provided in paragraph D, section VII, of the bylaws of the Commission, we askthe conference to approve the ceiling on the amount which the commission mayguarantee at $10,000,000. For the time period ending July 1, 1998, to the extentthat the assets behind the guarantee support this dollar for dollar up to the limit of$10,000,000.

Adopted (minutes, #35)

Item #522 Health Insurance Premium Subsidyfor Active Clergy

Action: That each local church or salary-paying unit pay 100% of the cost ofcoverage (individual or family) in the MAC PLAN medical insurance programwith the conference paying 0% of the cost.Rationale: Currently the standard is for the congregation to directly pay 80% andthe balance of 20% to be paid from apportioned receipts. The Budget PreparationTeam, in preparing the 1998 Ministry and Funding proposal, did not include thefunding requested for the 20% medical insurance subsidy for active clergy. As thevarious ministries were prioritized and converted to the dollars necessary for

138

implementation, the decision was to eliminate this requested amount. The 50%medical insurance subsidy amount for retired clergy persons was retained in thebudget proposal.

It remains the policy of the conference that all congregations will provide medicalinsurance coverage for their clergy and clergy dependents through the conferencemedical insurance plan. In light of the standing rules, 1996 Journal, page 322, I.2,it is believed that this piece of enabling legislation is necessary.

Note: For congregations, this will represent $104 additional for family and $50 forsingle per month using 1997 rates with a projected 10% increase.Note: For congregations, this will represent $1,140 additional for family coverageand $528 for single using current 1997 rates.Implementation: Local church treasurer, Conference treasurer, Benefits staffSubmitted by: Budget Process Team

Rejected (minutes, #31)

Item #523 Insurance Study Team

In order to address the continuing concern of the funding of the health insurancepremium subsidy for clergy, the Budget Coordinating Team moves that arepresentative group be named by the Common Table to study and proposealternative strategies. The team shall include (but is not limited to) a representativefrom each of the following: the Conference Board of Pensions, the AppointedLeadership Ministry Team, the Administration and Finance Ministry Team, and acabinet member. The Insurance Study Team will report to the Common Table fortheir input.

A final report and recommendations shall be presented by the Insurance StudyTeam to the 1998 Annual Conference for its actions. Further, the representative ofthe Board of Pensions shall convene the study team. Concerns raised by adialogue/decision group will be forwarded to the Insurance Study Team.Submitted by: Budget Coordinating Team

Adopted (minutes, #34)

Item #524 In Regard to the Forced Eviction of theDineh (Navajo) from the Hopi Partitioned Land

A false land dispute has been created between the Hopi and Dineh peoples whohave lived together in peace and cooperation. The purpose is to gain free accessto coal, uranium, natural gas and water that lies under the land.

The Dineh, who raise sheep and cattle on this land, have buried their umbilicalcords and their dead and worshiped on Big Mountain for centuries. Their hogansare now being destroyed, and they are being forcibly evicted to live on lands wherethey cannot follow their traditions and to live in houses they will not be able toafford.

Therefore, we, the Minnesota Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church,oppose this denial of basic human, civil, and religious rights guaranteed in theUnited States Constitution and Bill of Rights. We ask for the repeal of Public Law104-301 (“The Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute Settlement Act of 1996”).

We further ask that the United States Government and its agencies assist the Dinehin returning to their lands, protect their rights, and uphold the treaties made withthem.

Action recommended:1. Copies of this resolution should be sent to: President Bill Clinton, Senator

Paul Wellstone, Attorney General Janet Reno, Judge Earl Carroll, FerrellSecakuku (Chairman of the Hopi Tribe), President Albert Hale of the NavajoNation, and SDN-Dineh Alliance

2. Encourage our pastors and lay members to write to President Clinton andSenator Wellstone about this matter.

3. Encourage all our churches to pray for the Dineh and safety for them in theirland.

4. Encourage all pastors and church leaders to attend a meeting of support for theDineh at Wesley United Methodist Church (Minneapolis) on Wednesday,June 25, at 1:30 p.m.

B. ADDRESSES TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE

1997 Superintendency Report: “No Stone Unturned” Duane V. Sarazin, Dean of the Cabinet

In the next few minutes I shall, on behalf of my Cabinet colleagues, seek to give anaccounting to you for the ministry to which we have been entrusted. But before Iforget, we wish also to say “thanks.”

THANKS...for the opportunity to serve Christ alongside of you.THANKS...for the financial support of our ministries through your

apportionments.THANKS...for including us, our staffs and our work in your prayers.THANKS...for providing housing for us and our families.THANKS...for forgiveness when we mess up.THANKS...for the opportunity to proclaim God’s word in your pulpits,

for your hospitality when we arrive for meetings of various kinds, and forvolunteering your time and talents in ministry, giving us occasions to get to knowyou and appreciate just how gifted and faithful you are. On behalf of the Cabinet,thank you, and God bless you.

The job description for district superintendents spans nine-plus pages of fine printin the 1996 Book of Discipline (¶401,402,406.2, 417-434), which most of the timeis sobering, humbling, and daunting; and sometimes entertaining and inspiring. Inthe main, the responsibilities to which we have been appointed are outlined in five(5) headings:

1. Spiritual and Pastoral Leadership2. Supervision3. Personnel, which includes appointment making4. Administration5. Program

1. Spiritual and Pastoral LeadershipThe Cabinet Covenant to which we each have affixed our signatures and pledgedour daily commitment, seeks to undergird, embody and inspire the duties of ourparticular ministries. We understand, however, that the words of the Discipline andthe phrases of our covenant are not enough. We look daily, sometimes hourly, tothe Holy Spirit for that strengthening and guiding power without which we arehelpless to do the work of Christ.

141

Like you, we are “living stones”seeking under God to understand our role as partof the spiritual building called the Church. I know however, that sometimes otherthoughts may enter people’s minds as we ply our ministries:... we may come across more as “millstones” from time to time than as living

stones...after hours on the ice-slick roads, we think of “firestones” (Ezek. 28:14,16)...a good appointment is made, and “gemstone” comes to mind...we drive through storms and it’s “hailstones”...too many fast-food repasts, and it’s “gallstones”...sharing in times of loss conjures up the image of “gravestone”...looking back on where we’ve come from in our pilgrimage recalls the

“Memorial stones” of Israel crossing the Jordan into the promised land,and

...hearing some of the achievements of your congregations and our corporatemission makes us think of “milestones”

But in all these things, before God and one another, we acknowledge that we areLiving Stones, whose calling is to be stewards of the work of the Body of Christ.

No Stone Unturned. Our pledge is that we will ask the Lord to leave “no stoneunturned” in our lives as we seek to be faithful to our appointments assuperintendents. “Turning” is one of the biblical metaphors for conversion. St.Paul told King Agrippa that he declared to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem... throughout ... Judea and also to the Gentiles that they should repent and turnto God...(Acts 26:19,20). And so God declares to us today also. All “living stones”must turn from behaviors, paradigms and processes which do not build up thespiritual house, and honor God’s direction for a dynamic vision. As yoursuperintendents we confess that we are in need constantly of the converting powerof the Holy Spirit, but you already know that! We report to you that personal andinstitutional sins threaten us; but with your prayers and God’s grace, they shall alsobe overcome, for God’s promise is to leave no stone unturned, no humanunconverted to God’s ways of progressive salvation, justice and mercy.

Without it we shall have no Godly vision. With it we recognize that our minds canbe informed by Christ, our lives molded into the likeness of Christ, and our visionas expansive as Christ’s.

142

A significant part of our pastoral/spiritual leadership is exercised as other pastors.We visit in hospitals, participate in funerals, give counsel and listen to concernswhich people have. We are delighted at the response this first year of the “ClergyDay Apart.” Each first Thursday of the month, pastors have opportunity to betogether for worship, fellowship and encouragement. Although the methods offaithfulness to this day apart varies from district to district, the benefits of livingour lives out as a covenant community is evidenced in these gatherings.

2. Supervision: Overseeing the work of Faith Communities/Living Stoneswho are going in new directions:a. Discontinuances: We report to you that 2 (two) churches have voted in favor ofdiscontinuation since last Annual Conference session. They are Bingham LakeUMC and Tenney UMC. During our action sessions we will bring before you theappropriate enabling motions. It bears noting, however, that these congregationshave left no stone unturned as they have come to the point of such decisions: Butwhen critical mass for worship, programming and mission has been lost, they nowtake a step of faith that God is not abandoning them but is offering to them newopportunities of service, albeit with other congregations of Christians.

b. Re-Visioning Congregations: There are other congregations who know thatthere are times to “cast away stones, and times to gather stones together”(Ecc.3).Each of us superintendents has given supervision this past year with congregationswho have recognized the need for change of ministry stance. Thus some interestingnew multiple church parishes have been formed, forging new partnerships. Stillothers are joining together all around the state in order to maximize ministryresources.

Several congregations are coming together under the leadership of one pastor, asare Central Park and Wheelock Parkway in St. Paul, Bemidji and Cass Lake in theNorthwest, and Renville will be joining in ministry with Danube and Middle Creekon the Southwest District.

One of our dedicated pastors on the Northeast District doesn’t like the idea ofchurches closing, so he asked the good folks of Eveleth and Gilbert UMC’s to teamup with him in giving a boost to the work at Buhl. As a result of their godly efforts,there is a new vision of ministry for their time and place. Lay teams help providemusic, preaching and worship leadership. Youth in the community are beingreached and engaging with the church. And 1997 apportionments are being paid infull for the larger mission of Christ. “Living stones” built again into a spiritualhousehold where terrific ministry is being accomplished. No stone unturned inorder to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

143

In other places, previously yoked churches have embarked on more independentpathways so as to bring new focus to existing ministries, as with Hope andPrairieville Churches in Faribault, Little Prairie and Castle Rock Churches in theNorthfield area and Taylors Falls, which had been linked with two Wisconsincongregations. In still other situations, congregations have dared dream big holydreams together about joint ministry in a region: like the E.S.U.M. congregations,East Side United Methodists in St. Paul. And one of our suburban churches hasrenamed itself, going from Golden Valley UMC to Spirit of Hope. This “spirit ofhope” is that which must characterize all living stones in our faith movement.

c. New faith communities: It has been privilege to work with and learn from ourcolleagues on the Forming New Faith Communities team (formerly New ChurchDevelopment). We have studied streams within the Christian movement who,unlike us, have been growing, we conclude that one of the most importantministries we can do is to start new faith communities.

The conference budget for 1998 reflects a substantial increase in dollarscommitted to that mission. This past year, the work at our three most recent churchstarts, Bloomington Korean, Brainerd Light of the Lakes and LakevilleCrossRoads have all been chartered and are each growing. This year we areprojecting a new faith community with the so-called “X Generation” or Post-Modern folk in the Minneapolis Uptown area. We are thankful that one of ourlight-house churches is teaming up with the conference as God leads us into thisnew venture with young adults. New models, new money, and new manifestationsof God’s holy boldness is emerging in our midst. We report it to you, and thankGod for it!

3. Personnel: Appointments of Pastors and other Spiritual LeadersThe number of appointment changes to churches this year is about 64. Last yearit was 53 at conference time. Not all of these are full-time appointments; but eachone takes a lot of work: phone calls, 25 cabinet meetings since January 1, dozensof consultations, profiles submitted and utilized, financial packages put together,introductory meetings with S/PPRC’s.

It is the goal of bishop and cabinet to fulfill the spirit of ¶434 of the Book ofDiscipline which says, “The bishop and cabinet should work toward longer tenurein local church appointments to facilitate a more effective ministry.” This is anideal to which we subscribe; nevertheless there are times when our commonministry in a semi-closed system make it necessary for pastors to be moved for thegood of the whole Annual Conference ministry.

144

Consultation: Each of us spend considerable time meeting with the leaders ofeach church to ensure that they have the appointed spiritual leadership which willenable and empower them to fulfill their mission, which is the same for all of us,namely to make disciples of Jesus Christ; and to work towards their vision whichis unique to every ministry. We have consulted with pastors, either individually orin teams of 2-3 superintendents. This latter motif has allowed us to become betteracquainted with approximately 50 pastors each year for the past three years. Wecontinue this ministry of consultation so that we can improve our ministry ofmatching gifts for ministry with the stated missional needs of each congregation.

We are continually humbled and inspired by the vast majority of appointedspiritual leaders who pastor churches and lead other ministries, who exhibitChristlike leadership and devotion on a daily basis, and who do sacrifice much inorder to fulfill their high callings.

The District Committees of and Conference Board of Ordained Ministry areour trusted colleagues in this ministry with candidates to make sure that the churchof tomorrow may be ensured the capable leadership which the twenty-first centurywill require. And we have been working with them diligently to implement the neworders of Deacon and Elder as mandated by the General Conference.

Each Superintendent devotes several hours per month tracking with candidates forministry, preparing them for their next steps, gathering with district committees forinterviews, writing letters of recommendations to seminaries, working with localS/PPRC’s to coach them in their responsibilities with candidates, and makingwritten recommendations regarding ordination of specific individuals to theconference Board of Ordained Ministry. These meetings are not usually observedby many of you, but we hope and trust that the fruits of our ministry with thesepersons will be reaped in years to come.

S/PPRC Training events: Each year we offer training for the important taskswhich confront those serving on local Staff/Parish Relations Committees. Wededicate time to these in the belief that work well-done at the local level will enableall of us to enjoy longer and more effective appointments. It’s clearly a “Win/Win”that we are aiming for. We have been receiving very positive feedback fromparticipants in these workshops that the content of the training and the breadth ofthe materials we hand out is well-done and improved much over what we’ve donein years past. Thus, we are going in the right direction, thanks to the helpful inputthat all of you have given to us.

145

In addition, we report to you that through the diligent efforts of a cross-functionalteam of people called the Sexual Misconduct Task Force, each pastor and S/PPRCchairperson will be receiving in the mail a revised copy of the Annual ConferenceSexual Misconduct Policy with educational updatings; and also an approvedmodel of a Local Church Policy regarding misconduct of a sexual nature. Thanksto all those who have devoted countless hours so that these necessary tools can beplaced in our hands.

4. Administration: Charge/Church Conferences: Minnesota’s superintendentshave been with 307 charges for their annual charge conferences whereaccountability, visioning, and encouragement takes place. In addition, 30 or morespecial charge conferences for buildings and other extraordinary actions areconvened. Each fall we drive thousands of miles and devote hundreds of hours tothese contacts. This past year we utilized data specific to each congregation toconsider past trends and current reality. We become inspired as we see the “livingstones” of our faith communities responding with ministries designed to meet theneeds of our times.

One such congregation of the Southwest District made $1,000 available this pastyear for churches unable to pay their full apportionments, in addition to significantsecond mile giving. Other churches send their folk on mission trips to places likeCuba, South America, Africa, Asia and yes, to locales within the United States.There are congregations offering day care ministries, youth ministries and otheroutreaches into their communities. These and others are leaving no stoneunturned in order to be in faithful ministry.

Transitions in Administrative Leadershipa. Bidding farewell to Bishop Christopher: This past year was a time fortransitions in the conference and in the cabinet as well. After serving God amongstus with dedication and courage for 8 years Bishop Christopher was assigned by theJurisdictional Conference to the Great Rivers Conference in Illinois. We whoworked closely with her in the cabinet are grateful to the Lord for having beenmentored, encouraged and challenged by her leadership.

b. Welcoming Bishop Hopkins: That same Jurisdictional Conference meeting inFort Wayne, Indiana, elected four new bishops, each one with gifts needed by ourbranch of Christianity. One such person elected was John L. Hopkins, whom theconference assigned to the Minnesota Area, and whom we have been pleased toreceive as our Episcopal Leader. We are delighted to have increasing opportunitiesto become acquainted with his wife Elaine and their three sons as well. In just a few

146

days our episcopal couple will be residing together in the episcopal residence,after a long year of experiencing a “commuter marriage.” We wish them the verybest as they live amongst us and become more and more a part of our Minnesotafamily.

Bishop Hopkins has brought his spirit of positive Christian leadership withenthusiasm, joy and an unabashed dedication to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.We have benefitted already from his wide experience as pastor, campus minister,chaplain and conference council director. He is reminding us all to make the mostof our primary heritage as a movement of God dynamic and faithful to our callingto make disciples. We have been delighted to serve with him. We are blessed alsoto witness the warm and cordial welcome which you have extended to BishopHopkins as he toured the districts earlier in the year.

We are also extremely grateful for the gracious leadership given to our AnnualConference by our Lay Leader Jean Justice, who has built upon the outstandingwork done by her predecessor, Aileen Williams.

c. Saying good-bye to Marva Jean Hutchens and Gerrit Molenaar Jr.: thisyear we are bidding two individuals a cabinet farewell as they leave thesuperintendency to become pastors of local churches once again. Gary has servedon the Cabinet eight years...the first in Minnesota to serve that long a term and hehas done it with grace, character and dedication to Christ as Lord. Marva Jeanleaves us after six years on the cabinet; but being the only woman superintendentfor all six of those years means that we called upon her for special duty on morethan a few occasions. She has served God and the conference with commitment,good humor and a transparent devotion which has inspired each of us.

d. We now bid welcome to Pat Hinker, Kathi Austin Mahle, and our newStewards: We who serve on the Cabinet look forward with great anticipation toworking with our new Stewards. We are not merely “rearranging the deck chairs.”

With the Stewards in place, and with the new Common Table of leaders planningand implementing across functional lines, we superintendents will be able to backaway from certain programmatic tasks which have fallen to superintendents overyears past. We look forward to this shift, and trust that you the church willprayerfully support it, for we pray that God will leave no living stone unturned asministry needs unfold and we seek together to meet those needs.

147

5. Program: The future of our spiritual house. We spend time with you, and wehear you asking questions of us. What do we see out there? What are the trends?What ministries are working, and which ones should be abandoned?

Here are some of the things we are seeing and hearing from you, and perhaps asimportantly or more so, from folks outside the walls of our “spiritual building.”• Young people are interested in spiritual things, they just aren’t interested

in our institutional stuff; and if we can’t get over trying to persuade them tolike the ways of presenting the Gospel that we like, we won’t make it; but thenif we’re stiff-necked about it, maybe God won’t want us to make it.

• The trends are instructive: since 1981 our membership is down 16% and ourworship attendance in Minnesota has gone down 13.5%; our average SundaySchool attendance has gone down 21%. In the midst of all this decline, therewere two years when our worship attendance actually went up from theprevious year, and one of those years was 1996! And for the past 3 years, wehave realized gains in reception of members by Confession of Faith. What thisall means is certainly up for grabs; but by the research we’re doing it isimportant for us to pay attention to our vital signs. Every stat represents aperson, and we want more persons worshipping God, not fewer; we want morestudents in our Sunday Schools not fewer. Planning and praying andprognosticating are all necessary and right; but they are not the same as doing.In 1997 let’s continue the doing. Start new faith communities: maybe yourcongregation can team up with the conference to do it. Offer more options forpeople to worship: we aren’t called by Christ to be one happy family onSunday at 9 or 11; we’re called to be God’s living stones built into a spiritualhouse with many, many entry points: get ’em all into the house, even if it isn’tall at the same time.

• Much is working very well: Disciple Bible Study groups continue to flourishin this 10th Anniversary Year: start a new one this year!

• Covenant Disciple groups are catching on in more and more churches.Accountability is good our people are saying, because people want God tochange them for the better....they just need help doing it. Start a C.D. group inyour church.

• Walk To Emmaus/Cursillo is being used by God to change countless lives.If you’re a leader in the Church, you don’t need to attend one of theseweekends, but you deserve to! God wishes to bless you with these spiritualoases. Drink deep and feel the living water flow within you.

• Social Justice and Action Teams in all sectors

148

Flood Relief: Last but not least, it has been our privilege to work along with youto find ways as the spiritual house of Jesus Christ to minister with and to victims ofthe “Great Flood of ‘97.” We have been pleased to see how our connectionalsystem of ministry works at its best. The response has been nothing short of superb,and we trust that it shall continue to be so. The need for relief will not go away ina few weeks; and so we United Methodists will be there for our brothers and sistersof the faith, not to mention with those who are not necessarily related to us formallyin any way, until the needs are addressed. Thanks be to God for UMCOR and itsvolunteers, and for our Disaster Relief Coordinators of each district, and ourconference coordinator; Praise God for the volunteers heading up the ministry outof the Depot/Warehouse in Minneapolis, and the Minnesota/Dakotas DisasterResponse Board newly formed to oversee and manage the entire relief ministry. Inthese past weeks, we have worked overtime, especially those superintendentsresiding in the northwest district, but the rewards are great and we thank all of youfor pitching in. There has been a sense of urgency, even as Paul said toTimothy, “Be urgent in season and out of season.” May it be so witheverything we do: for the need of faithful discipleship is urgent.

Conclusion: we are God’s living stones, and the Lord is leaving no stoneunturned! All of us here today, and all in our churches, need the converting graceof God through Jesus Christ to:...turn us from defeat to victory...turn us from despair to hope...turn us from institutional malaise to movement momentum...turn us from dissension to unity...turn us from doubt and skepticism to faith and confidence...turn us from false allegiances to Jesus Christ...turn us from looking back in nostalgia to looking FORWARD in anticipation!

We are the living stones of God, and we are part of God’s spiritual house. Let’sbuild it up. We are your superintendents and we intend to stand with you, to kneelwith you, to strategize with you, to lead with you ... and to be faithful “livingstones” with you.

1997 Laity Address: “Foundations”Jean Fitch Justice, Conference Lay Leader

Thirteen years ago when my son Van was in the third grade, he brought home ahomework assignment that had him stymied. The assignment was to fill in a basicfour-generation family tree chart. Van laid the paper in front of me and asked withgreat consternation, “How will I ever do this?” To understand why this was sucha daunting task for Van, you need a few other pieces of information. My firsthusband Bob and I adopted Van when he was three days old. Bob died when Vanwas five. By the time Van brought home this homework assignment, he was on histhird father — my husband John. His question was very real. “Which father do Iuse?” he asked.

I’m sure his question to me was colored in some way by the fact that in my officeat home I have a wall-size chart tracing my own family history back as far as ten andeleven generations in some lines. Van knew I knew how to fill out this chart. He’dwatched me do it many times. He just didn’t know where to begin. As Iremembered this experience from years ago, the words from Isaiah 51:1 came tomy mind. “Look to the rock from which you were hewn and to the quarry fromwhich you were dug.” I understood back then that Van wasn’t sure about the rockfrom which he was hewn which meant he wasn’t sure about who he was. I neededto help him in some way. What should I say? I was an expert at this, for heaven’ssake. I must know the answer.

Although I could sympathize with my son’s confusion over this assignment, I couldnot identify with it personally. I KNOW the rock from which I am hewn. I’ve beentracing my ancestry since I was in junior high school. In my 35 years of chippingaway at the ancestral rock, I’ve found some amazing characters — people I’mproud to be descended from and people I’d just as soon erase from the chart. Andwith each new great-great-grandparent I’ve found, I’ve learned something moreabout who I am. As the members of my family could easily tell you, over the yearsI’ve developed a strong affection for rocks — especially the kind you find incemeteries. My children worked out a system to circumvent my strange attractionfor tombstones. They learned over the years to try to distract my attention when acemetery appeared in the distance ahead beside the highway. Don’t let her see itor we’re in for yet another scenic detour. They learned to groan in unison whenI asked John to stop for “just a minute” and yet they were good sports about findingthe oldest graves and looking for unique ones. It doesn’t matter whether they arethe graves of my own relatives or perfect strangers, I enjoy walking throughcemeteries and reading the epitaphs, learning a bit about the people whose lives aremarked on those stones and spending some time in their presence.

150

Over the years, I have collected a variety of illuminating epitaphs from cemeteriesand books. Here are a few.

1880 Nantucket: Under the sod and under the treesLies the body of Jonathan Pease:He is not here, there’s only the podPease shelled out and went to God.

Cambridge: Here lies the bodyof Mary Gwynnewho was so verypure withinshe cracked the shellof her earthly skinand hatched herselfa cherubim.

A hunter’s epitaph: A bird, a man, a loaded gun;No bird, dead man, thy will be done.

Thurmont, VA: Here lies an atheist:All dressed up and no place to go.

New England cemetery: “I told you I was sick, Elizabeth”

I must admit that few of the epitaphs I have located for my own family have beenquite that entertaining. The most interesting one I found was a marker which hadthe family name spelled three different ways on the same stone. It appears thatsome of the people in that family were then and still are today, based on mygenealogical correspondence, a bit conflicted about the rock from which they werehewn, although in a different way than Van was. Perhaps we all have some conflictover this question. Sometimes one of the hardest tasks we have in life is to cometo understand who we really are and why we are here at this time and place. Westruggle to know — or sometimes to accept — the foundations of our lives and ofour faith.

As a child, the foundations of my life and faith were simple. My family movedfrequently. Consequently, I had no foundation in a place — a house or a town.Instead, my foundation was my family. Wherever my parents and brothers andsister and I were, I put down roots — but shallow ones because I knew we’d be

151

moving again before long. My other foundation as a child was the church. I havebeen a Methodist all my life and had the great privilege of growing up withChristian parents who have strong personal faiths which they live out in their dailylives. I learned a lot from watching them and still do. The trust in God, theassurance of God’s love, the faithful following of the example of Jesus, thecommitment to living justly and kindly which they taught me have seen me throughsome times of deep pain and sorrow in my life. Throughout the bleakest ofmoments when I questioned whether I had the strength to endure or the wisdom toproceed, I never doubted God’s sustaining presence and abiding love. When Ifound myself pregnant after doctors had said it could never happen only tomiscarry a few weeks later; when my husband experienced a sudden, debilitatingillness; when my first marriage disintegrated; when his father’s suicide left agaping wound in my son’s life; when drug and alcohol abuse nearly ended Van’sown life at 17 — in each of those instances I felt as if everything I had ever countedon had been stripped away — everything except God. My life may have shifted onthe foundation a few times but the footing has remained solid for which I givethanks.

Had I been given such an assignment to complete in the third grade as Van had,there would have been no hesitation. With a little help from my parents andgrandparents, I would have been able to complete a five generation chart with ease— every blank filled in. Van’s task was not so easy. His life at seven was morecomplicated than mine will ever be. “Which father do I use?” he asked. “My firstfather or Bob or John?”

At the time, I sat down with Van and helped him to identify his options. About hisbirth parents, we have only the sketchiest information — names NOT included.We could not complete a family history chart using them. He agreed. I remindedhim that when I adopted him, he and I became family. Therefore, my family is hisfamily. We could fill out half of the chart using my family and take the informationright off of the big chart on the office wall. Again, he agreed. That only left hisfather. I had traced the families of both Van’s adoptive father and his stepfather.I assured him that he could choose whichever one he wanted and we couldcomplete the chart or we could make a copy and do two charts — one using hisadoptive father and the other using his stepfather. I can’t remember which he chosebut I do remember that the assignment was completed and has no doubt been longforgotten by now — at least by him.

152

When I started thinking about the foundations of my faith for this message today,for some reason I remembered that day when my son came to me full of questions.Although it wouldn’t have helped him complete the assignment, I wish I had spentsome time telling him a little more about the rock from which he was hewn.

The prophet Isaiah had the answer. “Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness,you that seek the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to thequarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah whobore you; for he was but one when I called him, but I blessed him and made himmany. For the Lord will comfort Zion; the Lord will comfort all her waste places,and will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joyand gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.” I wish I hadsaid, “Van, the answer to your question will not be found on tombstones,microfilm, or pedigree charts. The answer is written in your heart. God is the rockfrom which you are hewn and you are the living stone.” God is the rock from whicheach of us and all of us are hewn. God calls us each of us and all of us to be livingstones.

Those of us who are lay members of this Annual Conference are not here becausewe have been called to ordained or consecrated ministry. We are here because wehave been called to serve our church in this specific way — as lay members ofAnnual Conference and as leaders in our local congregations. We represent a widediversity of interests and abilities and experience that might make us resemble apebble beach along Lake Superior. This time of conferencing is an opportunity forus to see the uniqueness of all of the pebbles on the beach. At the same time, wehave an opportunity to focus on the rock from which we are all hewn. Ourdifferences augment our corporate identity rather than diminish it. Alone, each ofus is a pebble. Together we are a wide expanse of beach, created by God andjoining with the waves, the wind, the wildlife and the sky to be one of the splendorsof God’s creation — a people, a church family, held together by our commitmentto love, justice, faithfulness and service.

As we conference together these next few days, we will be exploring who we areand why we are here. We will be sharing with each other our stories, ourfrustrations, our hopes, our fears, and our dreams for our life together as the familyof Christ, hewn from the everlasting rock. May we find the ways in these daystogether to smooth the sharp edges, to polish the rough places, and to fit the stonesof our lives together on the foundation of Jesus Christ. May we offer ourselves toGod from whom we are hewn and may God make of each of us and of all of us aliving stone.

C. REPORTS FROM CONFERENCEBOARDS AND AGENCIES

Commission on Archives and History

The Commission on Archives and History continues to perform its disciplinaryand constitutional responsibilities on behalf of the conference, despite adiminished number of members. Although no new members were elected at the1996 Annual Conference, a full roster of officers is in place and progress towardcommission objectives has been achieved.

Our joint venture with the United Methodist Historical Society of Minnesota toproduce a newsletter for all local church historians and for those holdingmembership in the society is considered an efficient and effective way tocommunicate, encourage, and inform. Two issues were published during the year,and it is the intention of the sponsors to continue this project.

An event intended primarily for Metro West District local church history andrecords committees, initiated by our former chair, Fran Faber, was held. Thepremiere showing in the conference of the General Commission on Archives andHistory’s video, Memory and Ministry: Caring for your Church’s Heritage, waswell received. This event, the first step in developing a church historian’sfellowship/network, appears to have achieved its objective. Needs of local churchhistorians identified at this event will be analyzed to determine ways to better serveall local churches.

The conference archivist and newly elected chair participated in the North CentralJurisdictional Quadrennial Training Event at Indianapolis in November. Thesessions proved helpful and led to review of the commission’s variousadministrative documents with the intention of bringing them into conformity withrecommendations of the general church by June 1997. It is thought this effort willassure that all commission functions and relationships outlined in the 1996Discipline and the commission’s constitution will continue after conferencerestructuring.

154

While the commission continues to oversee the work of the Conference Archives,the commission’s future as currently structured is uncertain. By action of the 1996Annual Conference, it will no longer serve as the archivist’s personnel committeeafter June 1997, that function being centralized and transferred to the ConferencePersonnel Committee.

In 1996, the archives received 52 accessions of materials, most from conferenceagencies or offices. This is above the average of 38/year, compiled since theaccession record was begun in 1978. (Since 1988 every year’s accessions haveexceeded the average.) The archivist fulfilled research requests from 187 personsin 1996, with a total of 212 contacts. During the year, the archivist continued andalmost completed a review of all books on the library shelves, disposing of some,while cleaning the others as well as the shelves. Sadly, though, little progress wasmade toward relieving the archival collection processing backlog, although thearchivist was grateful for the once-a-month assistance of a volunteer.

Board of Camps and Conferences

1996 was a good year for the camping ministry in the Minnesota AnnualConference of the United Methodist Church. While campers, adult leaders andofferings dropped slightly during the year evaluations show another successfulcamping season.

During 1995 through the spring of 1996 the Board of Camps and Conferences(BCC) participated in a long range and strategic planning process with nationalcamping consultant Kathy Trotter of Kaleidoscope, Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas.This was a participatory process which included members of the BCC, AnnualConference leaders, board/committee members from each of the sites/ministriesand staff.

As part of the process a new vision/mission statement for the camping ministrywas adopted at the 1996 fall meeting of the BCC. The vision/mission of thecamping ministry is to provide for quality camp/retreat/conferenceexperiences in which Christ is offered to as many persons as possible to raiseup faithful disciples so that the world is transformed.

155

The BCC also received a number of recommendations from the Trotter Report inthe following areas:1) BCC structure and relationships to other bodies2) Programming recommendations3) Staffing4) Site niches for ministry and recommendations for development5) Financial developmentThis report is available from the Conference Camping Office.

At its meeting on January 12-13, two important steps were taken for the future ofthe camping ministry. We affirmed that in line with our vision/mission statementwe should relate to other bodies of the camping ministry as a body that:1) governs through the enforcement of policies and procedures2) by performing tasks that are best done at the conference level.

A new structure was then developed that will enable the governing body of thecamping ministry to be more effective in accomplishing these goals. This structureis being brought before the Minnesota Annual Conference for approval.Following Annual Conference the old governing body will disband and a newgoverning body for the camping ministry will be established.

The different sites, committees, and agencies that make up the camping ministryhave learned that we can accomplish more through cooperation and collaborationrather than through competition. We have come to learn that each aspect of thecamping ministry has a unique “niche” to fill within the overall picture and that itis important to keep the overall picture in mind as we move into the future.

In relation to the upcoming “Million Dollar Gift” coming to the camping ministryin the year 2000, the BCC is making the following statement of intentions: “TheBoard of Camps & Conferences would like to share our intent to match a $1million dollar gift in the year 2000. We would anticipate asking for lead gifts in theyear 1999. The public campaign for these matching gifts would kick off in the year2000 and be completed by 2002. All interest monies generated will be restrictedfor use by the Board of Camps & Conferences in accordance with its strategicplan.” (CFA has approved these steps.)

I would like to thank all those who were willing to serve on the BCC as well as allthose who were willing to put in time and effort during the consultation process.

Capital Facilities Development and Finance Commission

The primary purpose of the commission is to support churches which are seekingfinancing for expansions or new church development. The commission providesa backstop to a local church financing by adding the credit of the AnnualConference to that of the church. This is done in the form of a loan guarantee. Thecollateral for this credit enhancement comes from four sources in this order.

1. Cash and marketable investment assets of the commission2. The Permanent Church Extension Fund3. Conference-owned property4. The pledges of 276 local churches.

In 1996, the commission provided one loan guarantee:Riverview UMC $185,000.

As part of this transaction, Capital Facilities was asked to provide support in theform of a guarantee for a letter of credit in addition to the more typical term loan.This was a first for the commission and reflects the increasing complexity ofchurch finances.

During the year Capital Facilities provided assistance in financial structuring toadditional churches which were able to secure financing without the need for loanguarantees. As of December 31, 1996, the Capital Facilities had 19 loanguarantees in place with a total value of just over $6.5 million.

In 1997, Capital Facilities will continue to redesign its financial assistanceprogram in order to become more “user friendly” to our customers whileresponding to increasingly complex information requests from lenders. This is animportant initiative for us as we continue to provide assistance and support to thegrowth of local churches within the Minnesota Annual Conference.

The commission members and staff have broad backgrounds in finance and relateddisciplines and should be viewed as a resource for churches which arecontemplating capital projects. Inquiries may be made by telephoning the AnnualConference office at 612/870-0058 extension 248. Meetings are scheduledmonthly and are held as needed to conduct the necessary business of thecommission. In special circumstances the commission will meet on call or willsend representatives to meet with local churches.

157

As noted above, the commission’s ability to provide loan guarantees is, in part,dependent on pledges from local churches as collateral. In the history of thecommission, there has never been a call on local church pledges to provide loanrepayments. By supporting this program, local churches can leverage scarcefinancial resources with very little likelihood of incurring any expense. We invitechurches to participate, or increase their level of participation in this much neededoutreach mission.

Commission on Christian Unity & InterreligiousConcerns (CCUIC)

The Conference CCUIC met twice during the year. We rejoiced at the GeneralConference vote to enter into covenant with eight other denominations in theChurch of Christ Uniting. We initiated discussion on how this will affect UnitedMethodists in Minnesota and how our commission can facilitate the covenant. TheUnited Methodist contingent at the joint Minnesota COCU Conference and themeeting of the COCU executive committee in Minneapolis in October was thelargest denomination representation.

At the 1996 Annual Conference, CCUIC presented the first Jeanne Audrey PowersEcumenical Award to the member of our conference after whom it is named. Wehave begun the nomination process for the person or institution that will receive theaward at the 1997 Annual Conference.

The commission hosted an Annual Conference lunch for the pastors who serveecumenical shared ministries in Minnesota. A representative of CCUIC alsoattended the National Workshop for Christian Unity in Richmond, Virginia, in Mayand the North American Academy of Ecumenics in Minneapolis in September.

Peg Chemberlin, the executive director of the Minnesota Council of Churches,gave a summary of her midyear report at the October meeting of the commission.She had a helpful exchange with CCUIC members.

Plans to meet early in 1997 with John Hopkins, our new bishop, were made. Therewas also a preliminary discussion of the needs of the National Workshop onChristian Unity that will be held in Minnesota in 1998.

Board of Church and Society

For many years the board’s mission has been to help church members relate thegospel of Jesus Christ to the structures of the community, nation and world. It hasadvocated for church policies consistent with the Social Principles. Though wemay not continue beyond the present session of the Annual Conference, we areconfident the Mission Engagement Team will continue our work, aided by theresources provided by the General Board of Church and Society. During 1996 wecarried out our mission in the following ways:

160

* We engaged in dialogue with the Metropolitan Interfaith Council onAffordable Housing (MICAH) and the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition.

* We made information packets on gambling available to pastors in Minnesota.

* We awarded Peace With Justice grants to:1) The Northern Minnesota Religious Freedom Council for its Indian

Inmate program at the Beltrami County Jail. Each Monday night anOjibwe programmer goes to the jail to share in spirituality and heritageexperiences with the predominantly Indian population.

2) The Amigos program in Belgrade that works to build relationshipsbetween the migrant Hispanic workers and the local congregations. Theyare providing summer weekly Vacation Bible School and informal ESLeducation as well as a food shelf.

3) Refugee Advocacy in Crookston, where the congregation helps refugeessift through the red tape associated with naturalization.

* A petition we forwarded through Annual Conference was adopted in May1996 by the General Conference. Its content now appears at ¶510.2a of the1996 Book of Discipline:

Resolutions shall be considered official expressions of The United MethodistChurch for twelve years following their adoption, after which time they shall bedeemed to have expired unless re-adopted. Those that have expired shall not beprinted in subsequent editions of the Book of Resolutions.

We hope the smaller size of the Book of Resolutions will make it easier for pastorsto commend it to their congregations for study and reference.

Communications Committee

1996 was a year of new beginnings in communications, as use of electroniccommunications broadened via the World Wide Web, and cooperative effortshelped launch a new benevolence interpretation publication.

161

As a result of the growing need for churches to access Annual Conferenceinformation from any Internet provider, we established a new World Wide WebHome Page: [www.mumac.org]. About 16 churches have their own home pageslinked to this page, and communications is working to help other churchesestablish their home pages as well. This new service is a major step in a concertedeffort to encourage electronic communication between churches and the AnnualConference. Using a list serv, persons registered on our site may chat with eachother as a large group, and they may also send e-mail to each other personally. TheMinnesota Conference is recognized as one of the first and best facilitated effortsfor on-line communication by any of the United Methodist conferences.

Another first from United Methodist Communications in Minnesota is the MultiplyGod’s Love publication which was published in the fall of 1996. Using the generalchurch theme from GCFA, Multiply God’s Love extends general church financialinformation to the Annual Conference avenues of giving: apportionments, advancespecials, and special giving projects. The conference treasurer, CCOM,development and communications pooled resources to make this publicationpossible. Especially important in the new concept is the idea that we are giversbecause we have received so much from God, and our gifts multiply that love.Also, a theme of the “Halleluia Church” was begun, so that churches would havea model of stewardship that includes giving of themselves as well as their moneyin response to God’s gifts.

Communications continued to produce videos for Annual Conference and formission. The United Methodist Association of Communicators recognized theEmma Norton video produced in 1995 with a Certificate of Merit for its script.

The Communications Committee has begun its work to redesign the conferencepublication, the Leader, by sending out surveys and beginning focus groups.

Conference Council on Ministries (CCOM)

1996-1997 has been a time of transition for the CCOM. In anticipation of a newstructure for the Annual Conference, CCOM has spent this past year celebrating itsministries, tending the ongoing work, and working towards shepherding itsministries into a new structure.

162

The question has been, how does ministry continue even though the system inwhich we operate is changing around us, and even though we do not expect ourorganization to continue in its same form into the next year? In our Octobermeeting we set out to express our dilemma through worship, which undergirdedour business session. Following the story of the Exodus, we started, figuratively,in Egypt with our structure and ministries. We then journeyed to the wilderness,a place where nothing seems permanent, a place where we were fed and yetrestless, and the place where we must name what, finally, we hold in our hearts andwill carry with us when we leave the desert. Finally we traveled over the Jordanriver (Fridley United Methodist’s very blue hallway) carrying the bricks of ourmost necessary and vital ministries with us, ready to build a foundation in a newland, or perhaps a well for the tent cities.

It was a risky meeting, but a joyous and moving experience as we once again namedwhat we have done, what must continue and named the hope that the ministries weas an Annual Conference must be about will surely continue, even as we move intonew territory.

In the meantime, many groups figured out how to continue their ministries evenwith budget cuts and a shifting structure. We also commissioned a group ofpersons led by Dorothy Williams to work creatively with the 1997 budget item#34. Out of this grew a generous pool for grants to local churches to develop andconduct disciple formation programs and events.

We learned that short term project teams can work creatively. We also learned thatcross-functional teams will not necessarily work well together unless all parties areworking out of a shared vision for the task in question. Assigning disparate groupsto work together doesn’t work.

We have also been reminded that the council staff is an excellent one. In this yearof restructuring and staffing changes, after years of unfilled positions andunflagging needs, the staff has risen to its task with tenacity. In moving to a teamconcept with a team leader, and through cross-functional training, the staff hascontinued to respond to the needs of the pastors and churches of the AnnualConference. We commend the staff for their grace and work during this time.

I also wish to acknowledge the graceful leadership of Pat Hinker, CouncilDirector, and the creative and supportive Executive Committee, who has dared totry some new things this year. May we find our way across the Jordan to whateverawaits us there. Surely there will continue to be ministry, struggle, joy,companionship and the sustaining presence of God.

The Conference Board of Development (CBD)

As a ministry of education and service, your CBD has welcomed responsibilitiesin cultivating relationships with those who...

... financially support UMC mission and ministry,

... offer leadership for local church trust funds, and

... participate in the central data system.It is these relationships which foster the outcomes we seek: awareness,communication, participation and witness.

Performance History: During the period 1987 through 1996, the CBD hasfacilitated givers and their gifts totaling $11,360,589.10. The MinnesotaConference has provided a total of $2.39 million over nine years to fund the workof the CBD. Therefore, the cumulative costs-to-outcomes ratio for the CBD’sministry is $4.75 in documented gifts for every $1.00 of funding throughconference budgeting.

1996 Performance: In 1996, over $1.2 million in new gifts was documentedthrough the CBD; with a ratio of $5.52 for every $1.00 of funding spent by theDevelopment Office. Many of the gifts place the Minnesota Annual Conference inlife- long relationships with givers and their families. The care and serviceelements of these relationships are CBD priorities.

The number of Data Base customers expanded significantly in 1996, with serviceinquiries and requests increasing by 300 percent over 1995. CBD initiative withsystem upgrades in 1996 saved thousands of dollars for bulk-mailing users of theBase. In terms of on-sight work with local churches, the CBD staff members haveprovided consultation and materials, return visits and other services to (and with)421 local churches.

Initiatives for 1997: Following Annual Conference authorization to “establish aMission and Ministry Fund (M and M Fund)” began the complicated process ofcreating this entity – a long-range plan to assist in establishing new church starts inMinnesota. This Fund and the invitation to participate will be offered to UMCmembers and congregations in 1997.

The CBD provides an excellent example of the daily behaviors and responsibilitiesof a service ministry – confident that those who have been abundantly blessed willbe inspired to support the vision and mission of the Church, and offer their personalwitness as faithful stewards. The CBD has set a 1997 goal for cultivated gifts of$1 million.

Joint Committee on Disability

Actions that took place during 1996:Franklin Christianson and Jonah Yang moved to retired status.No applications for disability leave were received.

As of December 31, 1996, the following members of the Minnesota AnnualConference were on disability leave: James Dodge, Brian Marshall, Richard Otten

Edna Garrison, Chairperson

Episcopal Residence Committee

The Book of Discipline (¶736) places the responsibility for the housing of theresident bishop within the Episcopal Residence Committee. The supervision offunds related to the residence, the oversight related to all matters concerningupkeep, maintenance, improvements, insurance coverage, utilities, sale andpurchase of the episcopal residence is the responsibility of this committee.

On October 3, 1996, the committee discussed the strong possibility of selling theexisting residence. The house fell far short of jurisdictional standards for anepiscopal residence and the house had been converted into a home with twobedrooms and the Hopkins have three sons; the gathering space, parking andkitchen areas were limited; the bathrooms were limited (one had wooden slats onthe shower floor).

Committee members (Grant Tanner, chair, and representing the ConferenceCommittee on Episcopacy; Dwane Billbe, chair of the Conference Board ofTrustees; Judith Zabel of the Council on Finance and Administration) met inOctober of 1996 and made a commitment to sell the existing property and begin tolook for a new house. John Sampson, a member of Hennepin Avenue UMC, actedas advisor.

The Conference Board of Trustees and the Interim Council affirmed the processand actions of the committee on November 21, 1996. A realtor was selected onNovember 26 (Dixie Ewing of Edina Realty; member of Woodbury UMC). Thehome in Minnetonka was listed at the close of 1996 and an offer for $166,500 wasaccepted on January 14, 1997.

165

As the committee began the process of searching for a new residence, the NorthCentral Jurisdictional Guidelines for an episcopal residence were adopted to helpwith the journey toward a new home. The Guidelines included these expectations:approximately 3,000 square feet ... accessible to area office center, interstatehighways and a major airport ... readily adapted for handicapped accessibility ...laundry on main level ... no less than three bathrooms with separate master andguest rooms preferred. The committee added additional expectations: Less thanten years old; as maintenance free as possible; master bedroom and study on mainlevel; ample driveway and on-street parking.

Because of the complexity of working with many conference boards during thesearch process, the committee lost the possibility of making an offer on severalpieces of property. One goal was to acquire a new residence and move BishopHopkins prior to Elaine Hopkins arrival in June, to we could eliminate the need tomove them twice in a short period of time.

The Board of Trustees of the Minnesota Annual Conference purchased a newepiscopal residence located at 7084 Howard Lane in Eden Prairie to replace thehome the conference had used in Minnetonka for the past twenty-four years. Thenew home was found by the realtors in Eden Prairie, located five minutes from 494and Valley View. It is one year old and meets all of the Jurisdictional Guidelinesand Episcopal Residence Committee expectations. With the support of theConference Board of Trustees (March 11), the Interim Council (March 13) and thecabinet, a purchase agreement was signed on March 17, 1997.

The Eden Prairie house had a selling price of $378,500. With monies from the saleof the Mari Lane property added to funds in the Episcopal Residence Committee,the mortgage for the new house is $140,000. The General Council on Finance andAdministration will pay 2/3rds of ALL expenses related to an episcopal residence,including the mortgage.

We believe we have purchased a home that will meet the needs of our episcopalfamily and the Annual Conference for many decades to come. There will be aseries of open houses after Mrs. Hopkins joins the Bishop in Minnesota thissummer. Throughout the lengthy process leading to the selling of the Mari Laneproperty, the decision to search for and purchase a new residence and theacquisition of funds for that property, the Episcopal Residence Committee had theencouragement and support of the Conference Board of Trustees, the InterimCouncil, and the ongoing interpretation of the Book of Discipline by our residentBishop that ensured us we were abiding by the covenant of the Annual Conference.

Committee on Episcopacy

The task of the Committee on Episcopacy in 1996 was to make a way for sayinggoodbye to Bishop Sharon Brown Christopher and welcoming Bishop JohnHopkins. We were diligent celebration hosts, providing a reception on August 18,1996 at Richfield United Methodist Church for the Christophers and a reception onSeptember 15, 1996 for the Hopkins. In addition to acknowledging our bishops,Grant Tanner represented the committee by chairing the Episcopal ResidenceCommittee in assessing the needs of our bishop and working to meet thejurisdictional standards (¶ 736).

The early months of Bishop Hopkins’ leadership have been devoted to gettingacquainted with United Methodists in Minnesota. We commend him for avigorous effort in visiting each district.

The work of the cabinet, attendance to the work of the episcopal office andcommitment to family have filled Bishop Hopkins’ first year with us . He has beena blessing in his understanding of transition and his willingness to work with us inshaping the Minnesota Annual Conference for the 21st century. Thanks be to Godfor his wit, wisdom, sensitive pastoral heart, and commitment to serve God byserving with us.

Total Commission on Equitable Salary . . 154,594.13

In 1996 we underspent our budget in anticipation of a $40,000 reduction in the1997 budget. Although some persons equate equitable compensation withwelfare, that is unfair. About 25% of our budget goes to support ethnic minoritychurches and pastors. A good deal more goes to support inner city ministries, andchurches in rural areas where the church is often the only institution left in thecommunity.

In 1996 about one in seven churches in our conference received an equitablecompensation grant, and about ½ of our pastors received compensation based onthe minimum salary formula (the other ½ received a salary above the minimum fortheir years of tenure).

Though the starting salary for seminary graduates in our conference is second tolowest in our jurisdiction and our average salary is below the denominationalaverage, we use a graduated pay scale and offer benefits to all our clergy that aresomewhat higher than the average.

Equitable compensation is a vital part of our mission, and is crucial to the moraleof our pastors and congregations. In a system where pastors have little say in wherethey are appointed, and churches have little say in the minimum amount they willpay for pastoral service, equitable compensation support allows pastors aguarantee of compensation reasonably close to their peers, and gives churches helpif they are temporarily unable to sustain the minimum level of compensation. It isa prime example of the strength of a connectional system at work.

168

Is the compensation we offer our pastors fair to everyone? No, not all churches ofthe same size can pay the same salaries, and not all pastors with the sameresponsibilities receive the same compensation. Complaints have been registeredby older pastors who feel their seniority is not sufficiently reflected in thecompensation formula, and by younger pastors who feel the system is slow torecognize their individual abilities or their extensive labors. Churches sometimesfeel burdened by increasing pay packages that bear little resemblance to theeconomic realities of their communities.

Perhaps in the future our conference may wish to explore new avenues ofdetermining compensation that reflect more than years of tenure. Someconferences attempt to determine compensation by size of family, education,number of churches served, and size of church; even the number of conferenceoffices and hours spent at conference camps have been suggested as factors to beconsidered. The quality and improvement of our equitable compensation policieswill always be determined by the input and desires of our Annual Conference. Letus know how you feel about issues of clergy compensation.

John (Jack) Rehnberg, Equitable Compensation Commission

Ethnic Minority Concerns Committee (EMCC)

As a committee of the Conference Council on Ministries, our task has been tosupport and promote ethnic minority congregations and ministries of theconference. We also sponsor multicultural camping so elementary and junior highage young people can have the opportunity to experience diversity among theirpeers. We plan the annual Multicultural Festival (held on the metro east district),which includes a program, worship, activities, and foods to celebrate our diversecultures in Minnesota.

Note 1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of activities:

The Minnesota Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (the Conference) is the statelevel organization of the United Methodist Church. The accompanying financial statements in-clude the accounts of the funds under the custody of the Conference Treasurer.

The conference collects apportionments and other revenue from member churches for its programsand services and, in turn, remits apportionments to the General Conference for national and world-wide purposes.

Financial statement presentation:

The conference classifies its net assets and revenue, gains and other support based upon the exist-ence of donor imposed restrictions. Net assets of the conference and changes therein are classifiedand reported as follows:

Unrestricted net assets:

Unrestricted net assets consist of the following funds:

Pastoral Support Fund records apportionment income and expenditures related to the epis-copal office, cabinet’s work, moving and equitable salary support, Boards of Ordained andDiaconal Ministries plus the cost of the conference commitment for medical insurance forretired and active clergy.

Resource Management Fund records the apportionment income and expenditures for gen-eral church administration, processes related to the Annual Conference session, treasurer anddevelopment functions and archivist work.

Outreach and Benevolences Fund records the apportionment income and expenditures foroutreach ministries through World Service and all Council on Ministries staff, grants andother programming activities.

Other funds include the properties, capital facilities and other.

Temporarily restricted net assets:

Temporarily restricted net assets result from donor-imposed restrictions permitting the donee orga-nization to use up or expend the donated assets as specified and is satisfied either by the passage oftime or by actions of the organization.

Temporarily restricted net assets include assets designated for future payment of defined benefitpension plan contributions, assets collected for the self-insured medical plan that have not yet beenexpended and assets for other purposes.

175

Note 1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

Permanently restricted net assets:

Permanently restricted net assets result from donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate that resourcesbe maintained permanently but permit the organization to use up or expend part or all of the income(or other economic benefits) derived from the donated assets.

Permanently restricted net assets include assets designated for various ministries of the conferenceand at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $27,000 of interest earned to be transferred totemporarily restricted net assets.

Basis of accounting:

The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Expenses are recordedwhen incurred and income is recorded when earned.

Revenue recognition:

Annual Conference apportionments to member churches are set in accordance with the StandingRules of the Conference based on yearly budgeted amounts. All such apportionments remain li-abilities of the member church until paid or “released” through formal appeal procedures. Appor-tionments are not recorded as contributions until receipt has been assured.

Special gifts and offerings are contributed to the conference on a voluntary basis by local churchesand are disbursed as designated by the donor.

Medical insurance program fees are recorded as temporarily restricted net assets monthly when due.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include checking deposits, savings accounts and all highly liquid instru-ments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash on deposit in excess of FDIC andsimilar insurance coverages are subject to the usual banking risks of funds in excess of those limits.

Receivables:

Accounts receivable consist principally of apportionments from member churches. Realization ofapportionment receivables is adjusted based on collections subsequent to year end and prior yearshistorical collection percentages.

Investments:

Effective January 1, 1995, the conference began accounting for investments in accordance withStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Invest-ments Held by Not-For-Profit Organizations.” Under this pronouncement, investments are carriedat their market values. There was no cumulative effect relating to the adoption of this SFAS (seeNote 4).

176

Note 1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost or at fair market value at the date of donation. Expendi-tures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

The conference does not provide for depreciation of property and equipment except for computerand telephone equipment which are being depreciated over four and five years, respectively. Gen-erally accepted accounting principles require the recognition of depreciation on all property andequipment. The effect of this departure from generally accepted accounting principles is not readilydeterminable.

Health benefits:

Effective August 1, 1995, the conference began providing health benefits coverage to its employ-ees, pastors and member church employees through a self-insured medical plan. The plan is admin-istered by a third-party. Participant church and conference contributions are deposited into a sepa-rate investment account and fund of the conference.

Management has not performed a detailed analysis to determine the allocation between land andbuildings and, therefore, is not able to determine the annual depreciation cost allocated with theseassets. Management believes, however, that such depreciation expense would be minor in relationto the financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 7. Revocable and Non-Revocable Trust Obligations:

Revocable and non-revocable trust obligations include Annuity and Trust Contract Funds that arerestricted by the terms of the underlying agreements with donors. The related assets must be main-tained by the conference until the death of the donor, at which time they are distributed to confer-ence ministries, local churches or outside agencies in accordance with the terms of the individualagreements.

Note 8. Post-Employment Benefits:

All conference retirement benefit programs are administered by the General Board of Pension andHealth Benefits (GBPHB), an affiliated national organization located in Evanston, Illinois. TheGBPHB maintains separate accounts for the conference’s pension programs.

Defined benefit pension plan:

The conference participates in a multi-employer defined benefit pension program which is avail-able to all ordained elders for years of service prior to 1982. During 1996 and 1995, the conferencerecorded $657,143 and $1,106,165, respectively, of pension expense for prior service costs thatwere paid to GBPHB.

As of December 31, 1996, the Minnesota Conference unfunded past service liability as calculatedby GBPHB under the defined benefit pension program was less than amounts available to fundbenefits by approximately $700,000. Information is not available to permit the determination of theMinnesota conference’s share, if any, of the multi-employer plan unfunded vested benefits.

Defined contribution pension plans:

Pension benefits for ordained elders’ service after 1981 are provided through a defined contributionprogram and are the responsibility of the individual churches in the conference. The conferencepays for pension benefits for district superintendents through this defined contribution program.

The conference also has a separate defined contribution program for all conference lay employees.

During 1996 and 1995, the conference recorded $81,048 and $83,433, respectively, of pensionexpense for current funding requirements of the defined contribution plans.

Other post-retirement benefits:

The conference currently pays 50% of all post-retirement medical insurance premiums for retiredclergy, their spouses and dependent children. Expense is recorded when payment is due and amountedto $195,900 and $155,995 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Gen-erally accepted accounting principles require the recognition of the expense for these post-retire-ment benefits as the clergy render the services necessary to earn the benefits. The effect of thisdeparture from generally accepted accounting principles is not readily determinable.

182

Note 9. Related Party Transactions:

Minnesota Conference Pensions, Inc.:

Minnesota Conference Pensions, Inc. (MCP, Inc.) is a nonprofit organization which was formed toact as a fundraising entity for unfunded pension liabilities. Effective July 1, 1987, MCP, Inc. ceasedits fundraising activities and the conference now conducts these fundraising activities. During1987 and 1988, the majority of MCP, Inc. assets were transferred to the conference who, in turn,deposited such amounts with the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. MCP, Inc. has alsoloaned $199,000 to the conference which is included in notes payable at December 31, 1996 and1995 (see Note 6).

Minnesota United Methodist Foundation, Inc.:

The Minnesota United Methodist Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization which manages in-vestments and distributes investment income for organizations associated with the United Method-ist Church. These invested assets and related income are distributed by the Foundation as desig-nated by the investing entity. The Foundation has its own Board of Directors, which consists of themembers of the Conference’s Capital Facilities Development and Finance Commission and repre-sentatives from other organizations, some of which invest funds through the Foundation.

The conference invests funds with the Foundation (see Note 4). These investments are recorded inthe conference’s financial statements and are considered to be permanently restricted.

Note 10. Contingencies:

The conference has pledged approximately $7,550,000 in assets to serve as collateral for memberchurch mortgages totaling about $6,190,000 as of December 31, 1996. The maturities of thesemortgages range from 1996 to 2012. The Conference is contingently liable on such mortgagesshould the respective member churches be unable to fulfill the terms of the contract.

The conference is evaluating certain eligibility requirements relating to the defined contributionpension program. Management believes there will be no new pension obligation resulting from thismatter and, therefore, has recorded no obligation relating to it as of December 31, 1996.

Board of Higher Education

The Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry continued its work withcollege students through the distribution of scholarship funds, promotion of theStudent Sunday Offering, coordination of the itinerating black collegerepresentative, interest in the ecumenical campus ministries and support forprogramming at Hamline University. With diminished resources, we are workingto find ways of partnering local congregations with nearby colleges anduniversities.

Our board heard the report from the emerging United Methodist StudentMovement representative, and found much hope in the interest shown amongstudents themselves for continuing a relationship with Christ through their UnitedMethodist connection. Plans were begun for developing the UMSM in Minnesota,which involves gathering names of students from individual congregations. Allchurches are urged to stay in contact with their members who are in post-higheducational programs.

Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits

The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits is responsible for certainbenefits for eligible ministerial members who are currently serving or who haveserved the conference. That responsibility is in the areas of 1) pensions; 2)protection in case of death or disability; and 3) health insurance.

1) Pension: The conference has made great progress in recent years towardsatisfying its past service pension liability for pre-1982 years of service. This isdue to the “sooner is cheaper” philosophy adopted in 1985. Being able to pay“sooner” is the result of gifts, apportionments, Pension Campaigns and continuingsupport of Pension Partners. Actuarial gains based on the participant statistics orspecial distributions of the interest on the investment portfolio over and above theassumed interest rates at the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits furtherdecreased the unfunded liability. The following chart illustrates the progress madesince 1982.

Conference Personnel Committee

As of this writing (2/6/97), the committee continues to meet no less than twicemonthly. Additional meetings are being held for the purpose of interviewingcandidates. Committee members have spent additional time in specific taskgroups and conference calls. The initial work of the committee focused onpreparing the position descriptions for posting. Such work included, but was notlimited to, developing education and experience qualifications, and clarifying andspecifying key functions and responsibilities as well as leadership attributes. Eachposition description was thoroughly reviewed to ensure (as much as possible), thatevery necessary function, entity, and desired outcome was adequately representedwithin the steward position descriptions.

Decisions were made regarding the posting and accepting of applications, thechecking of primary and secondary references, the interview procedures (writtenand oral) to assure consistent discussions with candidates, background checksupon hiring, and other matters directly related to the search and hiring process.The committee determined that the most productive process for selecting andinterviewing candidates would be to focus on one position at a time. Oncecandidates for one position have been selected, the committee begins preliminarywork for selecting candidates for the next position. Between selection meetings,the candidates previously chosen are interviewed. Every effort was made to obtaina diverse pool of candidates. The position descriptions were circulated as widelyas possible and included publications whose readers would most likely representracial/ethnic constituencies.

One of the initial concerns of the committee has been to appropriately care for allof the persons employed by the conference. The committee has attempted tocommunicate in an open, direct, and timely manner. Such communication effortsinclude attending house meetings, one-on-one discussions, and by letter or memo.

196

The committee continues to involve the staff in its work by seeking its input inmatters of transition, necessary functions that need to be maintained, and theirsuggestions for improving the work environment and the productivity. Thecommittee has been in contact with boards and agencies to ascertain their needsand to initiate a smooth transition of responsibility and care for their staff as well.

Another matter of concern is for those persons who may no longer be employed bythe conference due to the conclusion of their positions. The committee isattempting to care for these persons considerately and with available resources.Representatives of the committee continue to work with the members of the CRSTto appropriately and effectively relate staff to structure.

Addendum Report, Conference Personnel Committee

The committee has met two to four or more times per month. All of our decisionswere arrived at by consensus. As of the Annual Conference session, four of the fivesteward positions have been filled. This report serves as a portion of thecommittee’s work.

One of the first major items the committee dealt with was the posting of theposition descriptions. The committee formed task forces, and each one took oneof the position descriptions and provided suggestions and analysis regarding theclarity of language, consistent ordering of items for all descriptions, education andexperience requirements, and the completion and ordering of key functions andresponsibilities. The full committee reviewed and revised each until a consensuswas reached that the description was ready for posting. The positions were givena wide distribution, including particular efforts to reach persons of diversebackgrounds. The positions were posted in the MAC office, sent to other annualconferences for distribution, Job Services in the Twin Cities, members of theMinnesota Annual Conference, The Leader, Star Tribune Classified Ads, St. PaulPioneer Press Classified Ads, Christian Century, United Methodist Reporter, TheOther Side, Newscope, Sojourners, Hoosier United Methodist News, UnitedMethodist Life, Michigan Christian Advocate, Asian American News, BoletinDeMARCHA, Echo of the Four Winds, Metohispano, NOW, Oklahoma IndianMissionary Conference newspaper, and electronic media, namely ENI,NAESNET, and UM Home Page. Direct contacts were made with jurisdictionaland general church representatives for suggestions of persons who might beinterested in the positions.

197

The committee determined that the positions were not equal in requirementscandidates needed to possess or in the duties to be performed. To be certain of ourcompetitiveness in the market, the position descriptions were given to DixieLindsley (a consultant to Hamline University in the business and administrationoffice), for the purpose of informing us as to the salary range applicable to thatposition within the nonprofit sector. Comparisons of the position descriptions toknown nonprofit positions were made and financial analysis provided. Thecommittee then set the salaries for the various positions accordingly. Thecommittee decided to maintain the $15,750 benefit package for all stewardsregardless of salary. All of this work was done in order to maintain a positionwithin nonprofit compensation expectations that would benefit the hiring process,stay within the conference budget, and still attract competent persons. Even so, wehave lost candidates due to the amount of the compensation package.

For the application process, we provided written questions for each position. Theanswers to these, the reference contacts, and the resume material supplied by eachapplicant became the foundation upon which we decided whether or not tointerview a candidate. Every application was read by every committee member. Atask force was formed for each position to provide initial recommendations ofcandidates to interview. Each committee member could add names to the list.Each candidate was reviewed and a final list to interview was determined. All staffpersons of the MAC who completed the candidate process were part of theinterview lists.

Preparation for the interviews included the formation of questions that would beasked for each position and the order in which they would be asked. A “practice”interview was done with an experienced interviewer for a nonprofit organization,so that we could hone and refine our skills. Prior to each position’s interview date,we weighed each question as to its importance on a scale of one to five (mostimportant). Each member used a scale from one to ten (excellent) to score thecandidate’s answer to each question. (The score for each of the questions wasmultiplied by the questions weight number, and those numbers were addedtogether for a total score.) Each committee member was assigned specificquestions to be asked in the same manner, by the same person, in the same orderthroughout to provide consistency and objectivity. (We averaged 14 oralquestions per position.)

At the close of each interview, the committee discussed reactions, results of thereference checks, and then score sheets were handed in. After all interviews werecompleted, we discussed the candidates, began to decide who was best for theposition, reviewed the total scoring and selected which candidate or candidates we

198

would offer the position to and in which order. In instances where there was morethan one employable candidate, we never “settled” for something less than forwhat we were searching. In every instance this was a case of each candidate beinguniquely qualified for the position.

We did actively seek and interview persons of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.As in any search process candidates change their minds about whether they wantto be interviewed or decline to accept a pro-offered position. This did happen. Inaddition, we had candidates to whom, during the interview, we suggested theyapply for one of the other steward positions, based on the substance of ourdiscussion. In those situations, the candidates chose not to do so.

The committee did (and continues to for the remaining position) search for theperson best qualified to give the necessary leadership to our conference. The factthat searches continued or are continuing is not to be interpreted as a criticism ofother candidates. It simply means that based on the information at hand, and theinterview itself, it was the conviction of the committee that the unchosencandidates did not possess the combination of skills, knowledge and gifts that thecommittee had concluded were necessary and most desirable.

The committee made arrangements for newly hired stewards to meet the following:BCA background check, MN Statute 148a, and MN Department of HumanServices Statute 256.998 and INS requirements.

As the stewards will be working in a changing environ, the committee is concernedfor the care of the stewards and staff. Therefore, a member of the committee isassigned to each steward to act as a liaison and supportive presence on behalf of thecommittee. We have done so carefully and openly so as not to put the committee,steward, or committee liaison in a triangulated position.

In support of the current staff, the Reverend Richard Harper was named to theposition of Staff Chaplain. In addition, the chairperson attended staff meetings toanswer questions and kept the staff informed as to the committee’s progress. Anappreciation “break” of punch and cake was provided by the committee for the staff.

Included among the items of work that remains to be completed is the hiring of theremaining steward and updating the Employee Guidelines. Work that will be donewith the stewards includes the assessment of support needs including staffing andequipping of staff, evaluation processes for all staff and stewards, and teambuilding among the staff.

This is not a complete summation of our work, but an attempt to disclose themanner in which we conducted a majority of our responsibilities. Certainly,

199

people want to know “why did you do this” or “why didn’t you hire so-and-so.” Incases where the committee can answer questions, members are willing to do so.However, by the nature of its work, the committee is bound by law and establishedbusiness practices not to divulge information about candidates and employees.

Lastly, committee members have given tremendous amounts of time and energy tothis work. Each one has shared his or her gifts and skills within the committee tohelp form a well-functioning unit. They have done so with unfailing grace,variable humor, and in an effective and honorable manner. I am grateful to havehad this opportunity to work with such talented and faithful people.

Resource Coordinator

This position began on January 15, 1996, to help fill the void created when theMissions/Outreach Director position closed. The responsibilities of coordinatorhave been as varied as any job could be. Each day brings new learnings andchallenges from “Where can I take a group for a service project?” to “Whichmissionary do we have a covenant relationship with?” to “What projects wouldyou recommend for our special offering this season?”

During 1996 one of the biggest projects was to design, prepare and distribute thenew “Multiply God’s Love” mission and ministry book, and the ResourceDirectory for Mission & Ministry. The mission book format was completelychanged from previous editions and is eye-catching and readable. The ResourceDirectory is planned to be updated each year or as needed. “Multiply God’s Love”was a cooperative effort on the part of Communications, Finance, GlobalMinistries, Camping, Resources, and other interested parties.

Another team effort was the annual spring confirmation tour at the MinnesotaChurch Center and conference offices. We changed the format in 1997, meetingat Hennepin Avenue UMC. Confirmation Gathering 97 will still have theimportance of meeting and hearing from the Bishop and district superintendents,but will be spiced up with music, pizza, and time to meet other confirmands fromaround Minnesota.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:A REPORT FOR THE STRUCTURE OF

ELECTED LEADERSHIP OFTHE MINNESOTA ANNUAL CONFERENCE

OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

This Report Is Presented by the Conference Restructuring and StaffingTeam Based on the Work of the Process Teams and the Conference

Restructuring and Staffing TeamJune 1996 - March 1997

RELATIONSHIP OF CONFERENCE STAFFTO THE EMERGING STRUCTURE

The 1996 Annual Conference session made some decisions regarding paid staff of the MNAnnual Conference. Specifically, five new steward positions were created. A personnelcommittee was formed to write position descriptions of each of these five positions and to beginthe process of advertising, interviewing and hiring persons to these positions.

The five stewards and the ministry teams they relate to are as follows:

• Steward of Appointed Leadership Formation = Appointed Leadership MinistryTeam

• Steward of Disciple Empowerment = Discipleship Ministry Team• Steward of Mission Engagement = Mission Ministry Team• Steward of Communication = Communication Ministry Team• Steward of Administration and Financial Resources = Administration & Finance

Ministry Team

The work of the CRST did not involve decisions about the steward positions except in makingsome recommendations as to how they might interface and interact with the elected (volunteer)leadership of the Annual Conference. Decisions about the steward positions (what skills theyneed and what work they do) were made by the Conference Personnel Committee.

In addition to the five stewards, the personnel committee has responsibility for all other hiredemployees of the Annual Conference such as secretaries, Conference Treasurer, Director ofCamping, Director of Board of Development, communication specialists, etc. The work of theCRST did not include decisions about any of these positions.

To ensure effective and open communication between the personnel committee and the CRST,two members of the personnel committee were members of the CRST.

201

The 1996 Annual Conference session created the Conference Restructuring andStaffing Team (CRST) and gave it the responsibility of designing acomprehensive structure for the elected leadership of the Minnesota AnnualConference of the United Methodist Church. This team of 17 (includingrepresentation from the Conference Personnel Committee, Interim Council, thefive Process Teams also established by 1996 Annual Conference action, theConference Lay Leader, a cabinet representative and the Council Director),working closely with the members of five process teams, met one day a month fromAugust 1996 through March 1997 to design this proposal. Our work was groundedin an understanding of the mission of the church as making disciples of Jesus Christfor the transformation of the world, girded by listening to the people who make upthe United Methodist Church across the conference, and given to a careful andprayerful process of discernment in decision making.

Our goal was not to build a new shell for an old structure but to create a new entityto serve as a household of faith in which the mission of the Minnesota AnnualConference could take root and flourish. We began with the premise that one doesnot build a building first and then determine its use. Our task was to determine whowill live in the household and what our life together will embody. Our ultimategoal was to build a household to accommodate the Minnesota Annual Conferenceof the United Methodist Church — a people of faith — and our life together.

This plan represents the culmination of the CRST’s efforts. We began by listeningto the concerns of people around the conference and identifying the essentialministries in which our conference must be involved. Now we propose a structurefor elected leadership which can support these ministries by working with annualconference staff and members of local churches across the conference. Theinhabitants of the household described in this document are the members andclergy of local United Methodist congregations throughout the conference. Theelected leaders are volunteers, both lay and clergy, who come from those localcongregations.

The CRST feels that the structure needs to be as open as possible, to enableministries to evolve and grow and be nurtured into fruition between AnnualConference sessions. The image which best expresses this thought is that of a tent— a structure which provides necessary shelter but can easily be moved as needschange. Therefore, we propose a structure which is lean at the nucleus but whichcan grow to include as many people as are necessary to fulfill the essentialministries of the Annual Conference. Although our work has been to design a

202

structure for the elected leadership of the Annual Conference, we do so firmlybelieving that the structure itself will not be the key factor in whether or whatministry takes place. Our ministry in the household of faith will not be a productof canvas and pegs but will be the fruits of the working of the Holy Spirit amongand through the people called United Methodist in Minnesota to serve a world inneed after the example of Jesus Christ.

To that end, we propose that five ministry teams be formed as described in thefollowing paragraphs. Ministry teams will be the places where the human andmaterial resources of the Annual Conference will be deployed. Each ministryteam will include a steward and elected leaders who will be joined by othervolunteers recruited, because of their gifts, skills and interests in specific aspectsof ministry, to be part of action teams and project teams.

Action teams are on-going units of ministry teams named by the AnnualConference for long-term ministry needs. Project teams are units formed by aministry team to carry out a specific task or to meet a particular ministry team need.Action teams and project teams will be the heart of the ministry efforts of theAnnual Conference, coordinated by the appropriate ministry team of which theyare a part.

What is the link between the proposed structure and thelocal congregation? The vision of the United MethodistChurch (as stated by General Conference 1996) is to formfaithful disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of theworld. This proposal will provide the resources needed by localcongregations to achieve that vision. Elected leaders will comefrom local congregations across the conference. Congregationswill be encouraged to make use of available resources and tomake recommendations to or requests of the appropriateMinistry Team for those things needed to support local, district,conference, denominational, ecumenical, and worldwideministry.

203

When created, we recommend that a project team have a defined purpose,specified outcomes, and target completion dates. During the time a project teamis at work, a member from the project team sits on the ministry team and reports theproject team’s progress. When the completion date arrives, the ministry teamevaluates the finished project. At that time, the ministry team determines if thespecified purpose has been achieved. If achieved, the project team may dissolve.If not achieved, the ministry team determines further work to be completed andwhether the currently-appointed project team should continue with the task.

The responsibility for forming project teams and evaluating their progress restswith the ministry team of which they are a part. Requests for forming project teamsmay originate with any individual, group, or organization within the AnnualConference and would be forwarded to the appropriate ministry team leader forconsideration by the ministry team.

We recommend that one group, the Common Table, serve as the place where allof the parts of the system come together for developing and keeping shared vision.The Common Table may establish cross-functional task forces as needed forspecific tasks.

The new structure, as described in this document, will replace all existingstructure. Recommended responsibilities of each ministry team and the CommonTable are carefully spelled out in the following paragraphs including somefunctions currently covered by existing boards, agencies and committees whichmay or may not continue. Regardless of whether a committee which exists in1996-7 continues to exist in the new structure, the functions each group serveswill be incorporated into the area of responsibility of one of the ministry teams.Most important, the connections between all parts of the Annual Conference willbe a high priority so that information is sent and received by all parts of the systemas a part of the organizational process. Each element of the proposed structure isdescribed in detail in the following pages.

A major function of the Common Table willbe developing and keeping the shared vision of the ministry teams and the AnnualConference as a whole — establishing the framework of where we are going andwhat we are doing both in the long-term and with current strategies. It willcoordinate, integrate and refine the corporate mission/vision of the AnnualConference and will be accountable to the Annual Conference session. It willcoordinate the work of all of the ministry teams, keep the broader vision for theconference and coordinate the conference calendar. It will recommend rather thanlegislate policies focusing on collaboration, synthesis, and evaluation as a part ofthe group process. The Common Table may establish cross-functional task forcesas needed for specific tasks.

Membership of the CommonTable will consist of eighteen people:

208

• the Bishop• the Conference Lay Leader• one representative from each of the ministry teams selected by the ministry

teams• one cabinet representative selected by the cabinet• one representative from the Conference Personnel Committee selected by

the Conference Personnel Committee• one representative from the Commission on Religion and Race (CORR)*

one representative from the Commission on the Status and Role of Women(COSROW)*

• two at-large members elected by the Annual Conference with emphasis onensuring diversity of the body

FITTING THE PIECES TOGETHER

Each of the following groups represents a particular function or interest within theUnited Methodist Church. Under the proposed new structure, the work of thesegroups will be done by ministry teams, action teams or project teams within theministry teams. In order to be clear about where any particular concern will becared for, the following list can be used as a reference. The 1996 Book ofDiscipline stipulates that many boards, agencies and commissions which wereformerly mandatory are no longer required. However, the mandate tointentionally care for the concerns of these groups within the structure is clear.

210

For that reason, each of these concerns has been clearly identified as fitting into thefield of responsibility of one of the ministry teams. The ministry teams areabbreviated as follows:

AL - Appointed Leadership D - DiscipleshipM - Mission C - CommunicationAF - Administration & Finance P - Personnel

Annual Conference Sessions - D Forming New Faith Communities - MArchives & History - AF Health & Welfare - MBoard of Laity - D Hispanic Ministries - MBoard of Trustees* - AF Hunger & Poverty - MBoard of Ordained Ministry* - AL Joint Committee on Disability* - ALBoard of Church and Society - M Lay Personnel Review Committee - PBoard of Pensions* - AF Moving - ALBoard of Discipleship - D Native American Ministries - MBoard of Christian Education - D New Church Development - MBoard of Higher Education - M Nominations - DBoard of Camps and Conferences - D Operation Classroom - MCCOM Personnel Sub-Committee - P Project Ag GRAD - MCFA Personnel Sub-Committee - P Refugee Committee - MCCYM, UMYS, JUMYS - D Sexual Boundaries Training Task Force - DCentral data base - AF Sexual Misconduct Task Force - ALComm. on Christian Unity & Spiritual Formation - D Interreligious Concerns - M Standing Rules - DCommission on the Status & Stewardship - D Role of Women - D Town & Country - MCommission on Religion & Race - D United Methodist Women* - DConference Board of Development - AF United Methodist Men* - DCouncil on Finance & Administration - AF Urban Ministries - MDisaster Response - M Volunteers in Mission - MEducation/Cultivation/Promotion - M Worship - DEpiscopacy Committee* - ALEquitable Compensation - ALEthnic Minority Concerns - M

*Required by Discipline — The relationship of this group to one of the ministryteams indicates which ministry team is most closely aligned with the concerns ofthe body. It does not mean that the ministry team in any way assumesresponsibilities or authority which rests with the group as stipulated in The 1996Book of Discipline. Two other bodies which are required by Discipline but are notlinked to any one ministry team are the Committee on Investigations and theAdministrative Review Committee.

211

Task Group on Sexual Boundaries

The task group is cross-functional, with the intent to create “training in appropriatesexual boundaries for local church workers” (outcome #35 from the November1995 Special Session). The vision for the task group has been: Through a processof framing information, engaging leadership, and supporting local congregationsto take actions, we will assist local congregations:(a) to understand theological, Biblical, spiritual, and legal aspects of boundaries(b) to address issues of sexual misconduct and create appropriate policies and

procedures to prevent misconduct and to promote healing.

The task group includes members from the Commission on the Status and Role ofWomen, the task force on sexual misconduct, the cabinet, and the Council onYouth Ministries. Others have been asked to be involved and/or are on the mailinglist from the Board of Ordained Ministry, Board of Trustees, Board of Camps andConferences, Board of Christian Education, United Methodist Women, Board ofChurch and Society and conference lay leader.

Three committees are responsible for task group details:(1) Training/Events, which has met with the SE district team to plan training

sessions for SE churches(2) Resources, which has developed a list of written/video and agency resources

for the training(3) Budget/Structure to handle financesThe purpose of the training is to train leaders within local congregations (teachers,youth leaders, lay leaders, pastor-parish relations chairs) about definitions, abuseof power and setting boundaries.

In the past year, we have met in the large group for planning and evaluation. Wecreated a pilot training process with the following steps:(1) involve an enthusiastic district support team (pastors, laity, district

superintendent)(2) develop listening teams and train them to hear the needs of local

congregations(3) identify local resources and leadership to do follow-up work(4) have three listening sites to hear concerns in local churches(5) develop specific training events to respond to the listening sites(6) evaluate with district team regarding the outcomes of training(7) covenant with district teams about repeating parts of this process as needed

213

The pilot training program has been planned for the SE district, with thecollaboration of a group of leaders who live in the district. In 1996 they heldlistening posts within the district for clergy and lay members of congregations. Atraining session for large churches was planned for February 9, 1997. Two othertraining sessions for medium-size and small churches will be held later in 1997.These training include speakers, workshops, and discussion groups.

After the SE district training events are finished, we will evaluate the process andplan for necessary follow-up sessions. We are proposing a significant commitmentfrom the 1997 Annual Conference to fund the staff necessary to plan for andcomplete the training in the other districts. Instead of working with a seconddistrict in 1997, we are considering offering the listening posts and sexualboundaries training with the youth and adult leadership for the Council on YouthMinistries.

We held three educational workshops at the 1996 Annual Conference andprovided a display of materials useful to congregations. We are currently workingon packets to help congregations develop policies around risk prevention, sexualabuse, and boundary violations. As needed, we will address other issues aboutsexual boundaries within congregations. These are ways we can reach all clergyand laity with relevant information.

Hamline University

As I write this summary of Hamline University, spring is finally taking hold. I amreminded each spring that universities with the strongest roots have the best chanceto thrive. And so it is with students.

In these exciting times, we need strong roots. We need to know who we are andhow we got here. Our vision for the future of Hamline as “a new Americanuniversity” is the same as it was in 1854: to proudly proclaim our vision as it isrooted in the mission put forth by our Methodist founders.

218

Our success is the fulfillment of their mission: to provide knowledge, skills andvalues to those who wish to prepare for a life of leadership and service to theirsociety and the world. We believe that no matter what degree a person seeks,higher education is more than just acquiring knowledge. It is also about values,new ideas and opportunities, and genuine involvement with society. The founderswere pioneers and we continue that tradition.

This commitment is borne out in as many ways as there are faculty, staff andstudents at Hamline. But there are special times and events during our academicyear when our connection to the United Methodist Church is especiallymeaningful. Our fall 1996 term began with the arrival of the Reverend TheresaMason as our new University Chaplain, a position newly clarified through theefforts of Reverend Patricia Hinker, trustee and chair of the Board’s UniversityLife Committee, and other task force members. Reverend Mason’s installationservice occurred during our annual Founders Day program on March 3. It was avery moving service in which many religious traditions were represented.Founders Day, at which we explored the connections between “Life andLivelihood,” featured keynote speaker Mary Catherine Bateson and gave us anopportunity to think about the spiritual dimensions of one’s career. We lookforward to celebrating the 200th birthday of Methodist Bishop Leonidas Hamlineon May 4, 1997, welcoming to a special reunion all graduates who have entered theministry or related profession.

Across the country, a growing number of college and university students areaffirming their Methodist affiliation by participating in the new United MethodistStudent Movement (UMSM). We are proud that the Minnesota chapter of UMSMwas begun last year at Hamline, and Hamline University students have taken aleadership role in the regional movement as well.

We continue to welcome all who wish to visit our campus in St. Paul, whether inconfirmation tours, theater events, the Seminar in Contemporary ReligiousThought, the School for Christian Mission, or any other occasion. We are thankfulto the United Methodist churches whose gifts, through the “Asking” have helpedus achieve our goals. We are thankful for your continued blessing on us as westrive to provide an outstanding education uniquely committed to preparing ourgraduates for lives of leadership and service. Our strong Methodist roots willcontinue to guide us in the years to come.

219

I close this year’s report as I close our commencement ceremony each spring, withthe words of John Wesley: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, inall the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all thepeople you can, as long as ever you can.”

My very best to you,Dr. Larry G. Osnes, President

That road, that way, that love. You led us—did you know?

PENSION RECOGNITION GIFTS

The Pension Fund of the Minnesota Annual Conference provides a creative recog-nition opportunity to those who would support the pension need. Any person,family, congregation, or other group may design a recognition gift to honor anindividual. Such gifts are published when the total in any one name reaches$1,000.00. The published gifts may be added to at any time and in any amount.

Perhaps you or your group would like to offer a testimony of recognition, welcom-ing others to celebrate with you the achievements of a dedicated church leader.Designating a gift of recognition will perpetuate the efforts of a loved one, relativeor friend, or any person who has made a difference in the lives of others using hisor her special gifts to bring caring, friendship and inspiration. Such a recognitiongift also supports an ongoing need and commitment to pension funding for ourretired clergy servants and spouses.

Individuals honored through such a gift may be living or deceased, clergy or laity.Each year in the conference Journal, we will publish recognition gifts of $1,000.00or more — including those campaign gifts, offered in recognition of another per-son, to benefit the pension emphasis.

You may choose to designate your gift for pensions to the Pension EndowmentFund. By design, this fund preserves the principal of each gift, paying out theearnings produced each year to fund the benefits paid to our retirees. Ultimately,the Endowment Fund principal will be brought into play when the last pensionbenefits for pre-1982-service are paid out.

1998 APPORTIONMENT (Shared Ministries)

An individual church’s share of our collective outreach ministries underwritingour ministry plans is calculated on a formula based one half on membership andone half on local church expenses, net of any housing allowance paid pastor(s), lesscredits of 10% on the senior pastor’s salary and the amount paid up to a limit forordained and diaconal minister’s(s) pension contributions. The apportionedamount is determined as follows:

a. Compute the Local Church Membership Decimal by dividing the 1996 localchurch membership figure by the total 1996 Annual Conference membership.

b. Compute the Local Church Expenditure Decimal by dividing the average ofspecified local church expenditures for the last three years by the average ofthe year’s totals of the same expenses for all churches. Expenses for 1994,1995 and 1996 are from columns as listed below less housing allowance (netof utilities) from the Table II in the conference Journals. These Columns are:

64. Pastor’s base compensation65. Associate pastor’s base compensation66. Utilities & other housing related allowances (less senior pastor’s housing allowance)67. Travel allowance68. Other cash allowances69. Diaconal minister’s total compensation70. Other staff compensation71. Current expenses for program72. Other current operating expenses

(These local church expenditures do not include payments for principal & intereston indebtedness, buildings and improvements, benevolences paid directly by thelocal church, conference apportionments, or advance specials.)

c. Add the Local Church Membership Decimal and Expenditure Decimaltogether, then divide by two. This becomes the Local Church’sApportionment Decimal.

263

d. Multiply the Apportionment Decimal by the combined total of:1. Total Apportioned Amount for 1998...... $5,561,0342. 10% of Senior Pastors’ Salaries......... 800,0003. 19.4% of Senior Pastors’, 19.4% of Associate

Pastors’ and 9% of Diaconal Ministers’ salaries upto the Denominational Average Compensationfigure (estimated by the General Board of Pensionsfor 1998) of $38,298........ 1,894,352

4. Adjustments for “g” and “h” below.......... 116,714$8,372,100

e. Deduct a credit of 10% of the senior pastors’ salary approved by the chargeconference for 1997 and reported by the district superintendents to theconference treasurer.

f. Deduct a pension credit of 19.4% times maximum of $38,298 for eachordained minister under appointment and 9% of diaconal minister’s salariesapproved by the charge conference for 1997.

g. No church is to be apportioned less than 35% or more than 85% of the base permember amount. For 1998 this is 8,372,100/100,437 = $83.36 base resultingin a $29.18 minimum and $70.86 maximum.

h. No church shall have a percentage increase in apportionment of more than20% above the percentage increase of the apportioned amount in the AnnualConference budget in any one year. However, no church shall pay less than the35% of the per member base figure.
