Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and officialadministration (604.4, 605.6)?We acknowledge that none of us is blameless in our living and ministry. All of us havefallen short. In our best moments God’s grace has enabled us to be faithful in our Christianliving and ministry. At other times we have been found wanting, having wandered beyondthe bonds of our covenant. Sometimes we have not honored one another’s ministry.Some of us find it hard to let go of former congregations and parishioners and insist onreturning to those places and people to perform pastoral functions. In so doing we underminethe ministry of our brother or sister who has been appointed there as pastor. Sometimeswe have not sought the support of other clergy during days of personal darkness andthus needlessly walked alone. In that personal darkness and ministerial despair, sometimes,instead of seeking help, we have broken our covenant to God and each otherthrough inappropriate behavior and destructive addiction. Sometimes we have not beenencouraging, supporting or helpful to clergy brothers and sisters whom we know are goingthrough difficult times. We have been, at times, self-serving in the midst of people whoneed servant leadership. All this and more has torn at our clergy connection and covenant.We also acknowledge that we have been called by God whose steadfast love holds us andwhose grace is sufficient in all things. It is this love that will yet bind us together to make usone in service to God’s world and one in ministry as clergy of the Wisconsin Annual Conference.Blameless? No. Yet, trusting in God’s grace we humbly offer ourselves to God’sministry in this world. We trust that as clergy of the Wisconsin Annual Conference of TheUnited Methodist Church we might continue to examine ourselves, recognize our needs forrepentance and then live in the hope that we might continue to be transformed by the graceBusiness of the Annual Conference85

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalConference Action: ApprovedAction Item 13: Resolution on 2007 Formal Funding Plan for Pre-1982 PensionLiabilitySubmitted By: Joint Board of Pensions, Insurance & Equitable CompensationLetter of Introduction To Members of the Wisconsin Annual Conference:The following funding plan is in the format recommended by the General Board ofPension and Health Benefits (GBOPHB) of The United Methodist Church. This planbegins by discussing the Wisconsin Conference Past Service Rate (PSR) philosophy.The PSR is the dollar amount that is multiplied by years of Pre-1982 service to determinethe annual pension benefits paid to a pastor for Pre-1982 service. The PSR for thecoming year is set by Annual Conference based on the recommendation made by theJoint Board.In the past, the Wisconsin Conference set a goal for the PSR to reach 1% of theConference Average Compensation (CAC). That goal was reached in 1998, and for theyear 2007 the PSR is 1.16% of the CAC. For the future, the Joint Board recommendsthat the PSR keep pace with inflation by using the index that the U.S. Government usesfor Social Security payments. We do not think it is appropriate any longer for it to belinked with the CAC. We will, of course, meet the minimum requirement in TheDiscipline that states that the PSR stay at .9% of the CAC or higher.Also in the past, the PSR increased at a faster rate than the CAC, but those increases werenecessary due to the initial lower levels of PSR (PSR was .8% of CAC in 1982).Consequently, we expect the PSR to increase at a slower rate in the future, though wewill keep up with inflation.The plan then goes on to list a number of factors:• Present Value of Expected Future Benefits (PVB): This is an estimate of ourPre-1982 pension liability. The GBOPHB calculates this amount based on aseries of assumptions:• Mortality – how long retirees and their spouses are expected to live (based onstandard industry tables)• Cost of Living – rate at which the PSR is expected to increase in the future(influenced by the Conference PSR philosophy, discussed above)• Investment earnings – rate of return expected from our assets, including interest,dividends, and capital growth (GBOPH uses 7% as a long term value).• Current Plan Assets: This is the current value of the money that has beeninvested with the GBOPHB to provide for payment of Pre-1982 pensionobligations.• Funded Status: This is the amount that our current plan assets exceed thepresent value of expected future benefits.• Non-Plan Assets available for Retiree Benefits:oDeposit Account – money held by the GBOPHB that came from priorearnings on the Permanent Pension Fund and the Ministerial PensionMemorial Fund.Action Items 149

Target forsame Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase that is used for Social Security purposes.The current PSR is at 1.16% of the Conference Average Compensation (CAC). Thispercentage is above the original Wisconsin Annual Conference goal of 1.0% of the CAC,as set by the 1969 merging conference. The PSR will no longer be tied to the CAC (otherthan the various minimum requirements) since we are well above our 1.0% goal andapportionment money is no longer being used to pay for these costs.Current Plan Assets-1/2005 $66,039,903*Present Value of Expected Future Benefits-1/2005 $53,335,536*Funded Status-1/2005 $12,704,367*Non-plan assets available for retiree benefits: The funds that may be available tosupplement pension/retirement funds for the Wisconsin Annual Conference are (values at12/31/06):1.

The Wisconsin AnnualConference intends to continue to solicit additional contributions to each Fund. Theinvestment return on the Funds is uncertain.Contingency plans for PSR increases – Any faster increases in the PSR due to higherinflation are expected to be counter-balanced by slower increases at later (or prior) times,due to lower inflation.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalAction Item 15: Peace Resolution 1 – 2007Submitted by: Board of Church and SocietyWHEREAS peacemaking is an imperative for followers of Jesus Christ [“Blessed are thepeacemakers” (Mt. 5:9), “Do not resist an evildoer” (Mt. 5:39), “Love your enemies”(Mt. 5:44)]. The command is amplified by Paul “Bless those who persecute you ... Do notrepay anyone evil for evil” (Romans 12:14 – 17), God through Christ “has given us theministry of reconciliation” (II Cor. 5:18). The Hebrew Scriptures include prelude,prophecy, and hope. “They shall beat their swords into plowshares” (Isaiah 2:4, Joel 3:10,Mic. 4:3). (All references are NRSV.)WHEREAS peacemaking is foundational in all the major world religions (The GreatTransformation by Karen Armstrong 2006),WHEREAS there is evidence that war in contemporary culture is, however unconscious,both attractive and addictive, and there is a need to bring the attractiveness and addictionto awareness, (1)WHEREAS there is a need to also provide non violent alternatives to the violence ofwar,WHEREAS “The United Methodist Church resolves that the cabinet of the President ofthe United States be enlarged to include a Secretary of Peace, and that a Peace Academybe established comparable to the Army, Navy, and Air Force academies” (Book ofResolutions of the United Methodist Church 2004 271-272, p. 692-693),THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Wisconsin Conference of The UnitedMethodist Church encourage its congregations and members, Lay and Clergy, toadvocate “that the cabinet of the President of the United States be enlarged to include aSecretary of Peace, and that a Peace Academy be established comparable to the Army,Navy, and Air Force academies.” (2) This advocacy shall be as creative as possible,including encouraging dialogue and the establishment of peace keeping forces, hostingeducational events, and writing letters to elected United States congressionalrepresentatives and the U. S. president.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Wisconsin Conference of The UnitedMethodist Church support Congressional Bill H. R. 808 3760 and Senate Bill S 1756,both of which advocates establishing a Department of Peace and Nonviolence.Notes:1.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalAction Item 16: Peace Resolution 2 – 2007Submitted by: Board of Church and SocietyWHEREAS at least the last 3 major wars in which the United States has been involved(Vietnam War and 2 Gulf Wars) were primarily wars of choice rather than wars ofdefense, andWHEREAS the change in name from The Department of War (army only) toDepartment of Defense (all branches of the armed services), in 1949, has an Orwelliantendency to mitigate and justify the horror of war. (The word “defense” more easilyjustifies violence than does the word “war.”),THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The Wisconsin Conference of The UnitedMethodist Church advocate that The United States Department of Defense be renamedThe Department of War. This Department of War shall have the same responsibilities andpowers, including current coordination of the various armed services as the presentDepartment of Defense. Only the name would change.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Wisconsin United Methodist congregations, clergyand lay members, urge their elected United States representatives to make this change.Conference Action: ApprovedAction Item 17:Submitted by:2007 Proposed Revised Budget & 2008 Proposed BudgetCouncil on Finance and AdministrationThe 2007 and 2008 Budgets are printed at the end of the Action Items section in orderto facilitate the journal printing process.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalThe Petition:BE IT RESOLVED, that 161C of The Book of Discipline be amended as follows:We affirm the sanctity of the marriage covenant that is expressed in love, mutual support,personal commitment, and shared fidelity between a man and a woman two adultpersons. We believe that God’s blessing rests upon such marriage, whether or not thereare children of the union. We reject social norms that assume different standards forwomen than for men in marriage. We support laws in civil society that define marriageas the union of one man and one woman.+ + + + + + + + + + + +Recommendation by the Petitions Committee: ConcurrenceRationale by the Petitions Committee: While acknowledging scriptural prohibitionsagainst homosexual acts exist, a larger scriptural context witnesses to inclusiveness andagainst exclusion of any kind. On one hand, the Church has taught that human beingsshould be chaste until marriage. On another hand, the Church and civil authorities haveprohibited same gender marriages and civil unions. This exclusion does not witness tothe larger biblical context of inclusive love and justice.Conference Action: Non-ConcurrencePetition # 03: AMEND 161G HUMAN SEXUALITYSubmitted By: Rev.

We believe persons may befully human only when that gift is acknowledged and affirmed by themselves, the church,and society. We call all persons to the disciplined, responsible fulfillment of themselves,others, and society in the stewardship of this gift. We also recognize our limitedunderstanding of this complex gift and encourage the medical, theological, and socialscience disciplines to combine in a determined effort to understand human sexuality morecompletely. We call the Church to take the leadership role in bringing together thesedisciplines to address this most complex issue. Further, within the context of ourunderstanding of this gift of God, we recognize that God challenges us to findresponsible, committed, and loving forms of expression.Although all persons are sexual beings whether or not they are married, we believesexual relations are only clearly affirmed in the marriage bond. Sex may become156Action Items

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalexploitative within as well as outside marriage. We reject all sexual expressions thatdamage or destroy the humanity God has given us as birthright, and we affirm only thatsexual expression that enhances that same humanity. We believe that sexual relationswhere one or both partners are exploitative, abusive, or promiscuous are beyond theparameters of acceptable Christian behavior and are ultimately destructive to individuals,families and the social order.We deplore all forms of commercialization and exploitation of sex, with their consequentcheapening and degradation of human personality. We call for strict global enforcementof laws prohibiting the sexual exploitation or use of children by adults and encourageefforts to hold perpetrators legally and financially responsible. We call for theestablishment of adequate protective services, guidance, and counseling opportunities forchildren thus abused. We insist that all persons, regardless of age, gender, marital status,or sexual orientation, are entitled to have their human and civil rights ensured. Weencourage civil authorities to enact laws that will ensure full civil and economicrights for persons in civil unions and marriages without regard to the gender of thepartners.We recognize the continuing need for full, positive, age-appropriate and factual sexeducation opportunities for children, young people, and adults. The Church offers aunique opportunity to give quality guidance and education in this area.Homosexual persons no less than heterosexual persons are individuals of sacred worth.All persons need the ministry and guidance of the church in their struggles for humanfulfillment, as well as spiritual and emotional care of a fellowship that enablesreconciling relationships with God, with others, and with self. The United MethodistChurch does not condone the practice of homosexuality and consider this practiceincompatible with Christian teaching. While Christians of good faith differ on whatChristian teaching reveals regarding homosexuality, Wwe affirm that God's grace isavailable to all, and we will seek to live together in Christian community. We implorefamilies and churches not to reject or condemn lesbian and gay members and friends. Wecommit ourselves to be in ministry for and with all persons.+ + + + + + + + + + + +Recommendation of the Petitions Committee: ConcurrenceRationale of the Petitions Committee: This petition removes the prohibition against “thepractice of homosexuality” and calls for civil authorities to end the prohibition againstmarriages and civil unions of same gender persons.

From the beginning, the Christian conscience has struggled with the harshrealities of violence and war, for these evils clearly frustrate God's loving purposes forhumankind. We yearn for the day when there will be no more war and people will livetogether in peace and justice. Some of us believe that war, and other acts of violence, arenever acceptable to Christians. We also acknowledge that many Christians believe that,when peaceful alternatives have failed, the force of arms may regretfully be preferable tounchecked aggression, tyranny and genocide. We honor the witness of pacifists who will158Action Items

Until a local pastor completes the Course of Study, he or she interviewsannually with the District Committee on Ordained Ministry (DCOM).

The long, drawn outprocess of appeal would not be helpful for the local pastor, the annual conference, or thelocal church to which the local pastor is appointed.

Bishops may only bow to one another upon greeting exceptduring worship services. Superintendents and Bishops may not meet alone with anypastor or lay person given the possibility that such contacts may generateaccusations which put the church into legal liability.

There is no board, agency, or body (other than General Conference) designated towork on the rewriting of these paragraphs.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalRationale of the Petitions Committee: The committee generally agreed that our nation’senergy policy seems unfocused. However, this resolution seeks to resolve in a few linesabout taxes what governmental departments take volumes to attempt to explain andunderstand. Disagreement centered on whether the carbon emissions tax parts of thisresolution is so far beyond both the scope of the problem with our nation’s energy policyand beyond our understanding and knowledge of the problem and the tax code.However, the committee did decide that this uncertainty should not keep us from seekingto move forward as a church and a nation to be a part of the solution in theseenvironmental issues.Conference Action: ConcurrencePetition # 28: AMEND THE BOOK OF RESOLUTIONS: THEOLOGICALDIALOGUE FOR OUR DAYSubmitted By: Rev.

Spiritual Unity in Human DiversityWHEREAS, The United Methodist Church is experiencing conflicting honors andcritiques experiences of a variety of expressions of faith and biblical theology; andWHEREAS, The United Methodist Church incorporates confessional traditions (i.e., theArticles of Religion and the Confession of Faith from The Book of Discipline, 1992) andinclusive tradition (“The Catholic Spirit” sermon by John Wesley); andWHEREAS, The Book of Discipline, 1992 (Part II: “Doctrinal Standards and OurTheological Task”) “preserves the inherent tension between doctrinal standards andtheological exploration ... [and] involves dialogue, debate, and some conflict” (“BiblicalWisdom and Current Theological Ferment,” Council of Bishops., 0ctober 31 - November4, 1994); andWHEREAS, maintaining an inclusive spirit about doctrinal, theological, and languageissues serves the greater purpose of helping people to affirm faith in Jesus Christ and toappropriate the historic confessions of the Church; andWHEREAS, the Revised Common Lectionary Gospel lesson for the Second Sundayof Easter (John 21:19-31) recounts a growth of faith even through doubt, absence,and differing experiences; confessing faith in scripture truth honors rich diversity in thebiblical witness and informs a deeper understanding among people of faith; andWHEREAS, “indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.... [and] Godarranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.... The eye cannot sayto the hand, ‘I have no need of you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I have no need ofyou.’ On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothe with greater honor,and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect; whereas, our morerespectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving thegreater honor to the inferior member, that there may be no dissension within the body,but the members may have the same care for one another” (I Corinthians 12:14-25);THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that The United Methodist Church reject any spiritthat seeks to divide the body of Christ (and especially The United Methodist Church) andthat cuts off the confessing and inclusive heritages by which United Methodists knowthemselves to be people of God; andBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we affirm our biblical faith in Jesus Christ and thespiritual gift of unity in human diversity; andAction Items 183

Jerry EckertAuthor’s Rationale: I present this resolution as a means of ending the partisan scufflingover whether all homosexuals are natural or an abomination to God.

And only the harmful treatment of ourselves and each other needs to beaddressed.+ + + + + + + + + + + +The Resolution:WHEREAS the debate in the church over homosexuality derives primarily from use ofScripture to support a personal preference or a prejudice on both “sides” of the debate;andWHEREAS human knowledge and experience shows that all of us have elements of theheterosexual and homosexual, more or less, in our own natures; andWHEREAS medicine has identified genetic and hormonal differences that are a part ofthe natural course of human birthing, and not therefore different from the nature of beingred-haired or left handed,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the General Conference of the UnitedMethodist Church affirm that homosexuality is on a continuum of sexuality withheterosexuality and therefore be seen in the natural God-made way for human life; andBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the General Conference also affirm that somepeople anywhere along that continuum of sexual behavior may stray into behaviors thatare not true for them as individuals and therefore need help and patience to find their owntrue sexual nature, andBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, rather than be against one kind of naturalsexuality as opposed to another kind, we focus on challenging those behaviors that are184Action Items

Jerry EckertAuthor’s Rationale: I have seen good pastors destroyed by cruel, thoughtless, andincompetent handling of complaints over the last quarter century. The procedures usedhave been unfair.The Case Review Panel will find some cases were handled with appropriate intent butwill also find many ignored The Book of Discipline and the facts of the case. It is time tohave independent review so that the truth about our processes can be seen and sharedappropriately.+ + + + + + + + + + + +The Resolution:BE IT RESOLVED that the General Conference establish a Case Review Panel toexamine any cases since 1980 where pastors felt they had been treated unfairly in order toidentify breakdowns in how our administrative and judicial processes worked in theircases.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Review Panel be made up of three retiredclergy and four laity (two lawyers, one personnel expert, and one at large member) whohave not been related to any of the cases acted upon by committees, courts, boards orcouncils since 1980, and that their election be by the General Conference afternomination on the floor of General Conference so that the panel can be convened toorganize and begin its work by the end of July, 2008.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that their review be primarily directed to the kinds ofmistakes made so that any future legislation relating to the complaint processes will atleast minimize those mistakes and that those mistakes be identified for the Council ofBishops, General Council on Finance and Administration, General Board of HigherEducation and Ministry Division of Ordained Ministry, and the 2012 GeneralConference.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that secondarily, if any of the cases were egregious intheir handling, that the panel recommend actions to the appropriate Annual Conferencethat could make those situations “whole.”BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the expenses for the panel be covered by GeneralCouncil on Finance and Administration but that the expenses related to those bringingtheir cases be covered by those people, their advocates, and/or their family seeking relief.186Action Items

First, creating a Case Review Panel will not lessen the opportunities for“breakdowns … in administrative and judicial processes.” Second, the scope of trying tohear “any cases since 1980 where pastors felt they have been treated unfairly” seems toocomprehensive. Though this does not dismiss the understanding that our system does, attimes, foster injustice, this resolution does not provide a suitable response to this justiceissue within The United Methodist Church.Conference Action: Non-ConcurrencePetition # 33: AMEND THE BOOK OF RESOLUTIONS: ANNUALCONFERENCE JUDICIARYSubmitted By: Rev.

Jerry EckertAuthor’s Rationale: The Old Testament places several evil behaviors along with theirprohibition of homosexuality, such as those listed in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. TheNew Testament likewise adds other behaviors such as those listed in Romans and FirstCorinthians. Other passages offer positive behaviors that should be followed. Forconsistency, with the Biblical witness, I petition General Conference to add the aboveprohibitions.+ + + + + + + + + + + +The Petition:BE IT RESOLVED, that 304.2 & 304.3 of The Book of Discipline be amended asfollows:2. For the sake of the mission of Jesus Christ in the world and the most effective witnessto the Christian gospel, and in consideration of the influence of an ordained minister onthe lives of other persons both within and outside the Church, the Church expects thosewho seek ordination to make complete dedication of themselves to the highest ideals ofthe Christian life as contained in Scripture. To this end they agree to exerciseresponsible self-control by personal habits conducive to bodily health, mental andemotional maturity, integrity in all personal relationships, represented by suchScriptural dictums as these:a. never slaughtering cattle for food without first presenting it at the door of thechurch so the pastor can sprinkle its blood all over the altar and burn its fat(Leviticus 23:1-2);b. never uncovering the nakedness of your aging parents, your infant children, noryour wife when she is having her period (Leviticus 18:6-19);c. never participating in the life of the church if you are castrated or are born ofunwed parents (Deuteronomy 23:1-2);d. never lending at interest except to foreigners (Deuteronomy 23:19);e. never believing an accusation unless it is attested to by two or three witnesses(Deuteronomy 19:15);f. never refusing to stone your rebellious son (Deuteronomy 21:18-21);g. never wearing clothing made of two different stuffs, like wool and linen(Deuteronomy 22:11);h. never failing to repay a loan before nightfall (Deuteronomy 24:13);i. never perverting justice (Deuteronomy 24:17);j. never being filled with envy, malice, deceit, heartlessness, and haughtiness(Romans 1:29-30);k. never being greedy (I Corinthians 6:9);l. never do unto others what you would not have them do unto you (Matthew7:12);m. never failing to love God and your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39);188Action Items

While persons set apart by the Church for ordained ministry are subject to all thefrailties of the human condition and the pressures of society, they are required to maintainthe highest standards of holy living in the world, particularly those noted above. Thepractices of failure to obey all Old and New Testament laws and directives onbehavior along with The practice of homosexuality is are incompatible with Christianteaching.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalTHE BOARD OF CAMP AND RETREAT MINISTRIESThe Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries lives out its purpose of, “Supporting the localchurch by providing an open door into the Christian life and United Methodist traditionusing year-round outdoor settings for extended experiences of spiritual growth anddiscipleship.” It has the privilege of witnessing spiritual growth and discipleshipthrough its ministry offerings in unique outdoor settings. The yearly surveys the Boardhas done tell it that these settings and experiences strongly influence the lives of thechildren, youth, and adults who participate. Camping and retreat ministry provides oneof the most effective ways of making disciples that the Annual Conference has established.Many of the members of the Annual Conference, and especially the clergymembers, began their commitments as followers of Jesus Christ at a camping and retreatexperience. The persons who participate in camp and retreat ministries return totheir local churches to live out their Christian faith.2006 was a strong year for Camp and Retreat Ministries in several ways. The year sawan increased number of persons using the Sites, as are measured in “camper days.” Circuitsare starting to explore ways to meet at the Sites, as well as ways to help be in ministryat the Sites. The year also saw continued improvements in the physical structuresat the Sites. These improvements came as the result of the use of Fund for Discipleshipfunds as well as from monies given by individuals. The Bishop Rader Retreat Center,for example, will have another wing of guest rooms completed in 2007. The Board hasa part-time development fund-raiser who will be telling individuals and churches aboutthe ministry that happens at the Sites, as well as raising money for critical needs at theSites. Also, for the first time in several years, the Sites were able to balance their budgetsand finish the year financially sound.The Board especially wants to thank the large number of volunteers, including Volunteersin Mission (VIM), who helped at the Sites during the past year. Their help wasgreatly appreciated!An increasing number of Conference churches, boards, and groups are using the Sitesfor meetings and retreats. Circuits will continue to be encouraged to hold meetings andretreats at the Sites. Local churches, charges, circuits, and pastors will be encouraged topromote the ministry at the Sites, as well as to send persons to the Sites. The Board ofCamp and Retreat Ministries encourages the usage of these Wisconsin Conference facilitiesfor retreats and meetings. That usage helps the entire ministry and outreach ofthe Annual Conference. Remember to “Call Camp First!” to schedule your meetingsand events.Our Site personnel during 2006 was: Byron Pegram at Byron Center, Greg Louden atWhispering Pines, Chip Hutler at Lake Lucerne and Pine Lake, Laura Hutler at PineLake and Lake Lucerne, and Nick Coenen at Pine Lake. Visit the Camp and RetreatMinistries website at www.WisconsinUMC.org/camps Pages for each Site as well asthe camping booklet can be viewed.The Board will continue to offer quality camp and retreat experiences at its unique outdoorSites and will look for ways to be more effective in its ministry by deep listeningto the guests who come. The Board also scheduled listening sessions for the clergy ofthe Annual Conference in spring of 2007. The Board of Camp and Retreat MinistriesConference Boards241

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalwants to move into the future by continuing to offer pathways to Christian growth anddiscipleship through camping and retreats.Rev. Bruce Bartel, ChairpersonNancy M. Deaner, Camping and Retreat Ministries CoordinatorBOARD OF CONGREGATION AND CIRCUIT DEVELOPMENTOur Purpose/Mission Statement as the Board of Congregation and Circuit Development:• To change our entire Annual Conference’s culture from one of maintenance andfear to one of bold action to reach non-believers and others outside of the church.• To equip local churches, mission churches and circuits with training, tools, andasset-based partial funding for revisioning of existing churches and New FaithStarts (New churches or non-traditional ideas for spreading faith).In 2006, we made disciples of Jesus Christ by equipping the local churches in the Conferencefor ministry and/or by providing a connection for ministry beyond the localchurch in the following ways:• We completed another New Faith Academy, bringing clergy and laypeople intoclose contact with experts and people who have succeeded. We also have been ableto broaden the understanding of “church,” so that there can be more freedom inorganizing a group of people sharing their journeys of faith.• We facilitated discussion among existing churches about apportionments, revisioning,and starting new churches.• We worked with dozens of congregations in various ways to help them with revisioning.We provided NCD coaches, our coordinators and conveners met with dozensof individual congregations, some for multiple meetings, to help them plan forthe future. Many of these churches are already implementing plans and seeing success.• We funded 11 new church starts. Because funding was drastically (and unintentionally)cut due to misunderstandings in the accounting of our resources, we spenta lot of time trying to heal relationships with the Annual Conference. Our coordinatorand convener met and kept in touch with all of these congregations, offeringresources, suggestions, and further training. We also are able to gather the wisdomof these starts, and collect it to share with future new church starts.• We worked to cultivate more new church starts. Plans are moving ahead in the SunPrairie area, the Wisconsin side of the Twin Cities, and the Whitewater area. Manyother areas are preparing their laypeople, laying the groundwork for a new churchin the near future.• We worked with our ethnic minority mission churches. Trust was rebuilt, and agreater understanding of the issues facing these churches has been gained. We arerapidly changing the relationship these churches have with the Annual Conference242Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalfrom one of dependence to one of inter-dependence, self-sustainability involvingmission partners.• We raised awareness about New Faith Starts, and helped create relationships andfinancial giving with people outside the generating groups.• We handled apportionment reduction requests differently, using the opportunity toengage with the churches in dialogue about changing for growth, while drasticallyreducing the percentage of requests granted. This has led to congregations engagingin revisioning so that they might become more outward-focused.In 2008, our plans are to:• We will continue to fund revisioning projects, especially for circuits cooperatingtogether, as funds allow. With the reduction in funds in 2006, we were only able tomaintain ongoing commitments, and did not even offer funds to new entities. In2005, we had five times the number of requests as we had funding for, and almostall of those denied requests had merit to deserve funding.• We will continue to consult with and offer training for churches wishing to revisionor start new faith entities.• We will continue to encourage circuits to develop innovative ways of serving peopleoutside the traditional church. The Whitewater area Circuit is cooperating tostart satellite congregations for the Hispanic members of each of their communities.• We have taken on the task of educating congregations about the role of the AnnualConference. We are trying to help people to understand that the Annual Conferenceleadership is a small staff, and a group of volunteers, and that decisions aremade by the clergy and laypeople of the local church. This has proven to be anentry point into conversations about revisioning the local church.• We have begun to change our Board’s relationship to the Cabinet in hopes of bettercommunicating the needs of the new churches, mission churches, and circuits. Wehope to provide the information the cabinet needs in making decisions, and makethe interrelationships (funding, staff needs, mission, evaluation of the churches bythe Board / Coordinator compared to the congregation’s self-evaluation, etc.)• We have passed leadership of Lay Missioner training and will help the new StandingCommittee on Hispanic/Latino Ministries to move towards an increased role oflaity in starting and pastoring new church starts, satellite ministries, small groups,etc.• We will continue to increase communication and cooperation with ethnic minorityleaders so that we can start and grow healthy mission-sending churches as ourpopulation in Wisconsin changes.Rev.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalBOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETYIntroductory CommentsThe purpose of the Board of Church and Society is to encourage and empower the peopleof the United Methodist Church to live faithfully wherever they are—in the churchand in the world. Our issues are the issues of the news, the schools, and the workplacesbecause this is where people’s lives are lived out. By being involved in these issues, theBoard of Church and Society plays a critical role in helping the UMC be a denominationthat relates to the real lives of God’s people.Highlights and Accomplishments of the Past YearThe Board of Church and Society’s annual focus for 2006 was “education, advocacy,and legislation.” Lamenting several years of dormancy, the BCS worked diligently tobring relevant and meaningful dialogue back to the Annual Conference floor in June2006. Through the Board’s actions we directly encouraged lay and clergy delegates toconsider relevant issues such as universal health care and restorative justice, and in doingso, also take important steps toward discussing heart-felt issues in a respectful manner.These issues-- health, emotional and physical well-being, and the inclusion of allpeople-- were central to Jesus’ ministry and are equally fundamental to our Conference.Because of our voice at Annual Conference, three people contacted our Board to receivegrants to participate in a national conference, titled “Wesleyan Peace for the 21st Century”in September 2006. One individual had never attended a nation-wide UM programpreviously. She returned to her local church energized for new ministry in theareas of peace and justice-- feeling better connected to the larger UMC. We have alsomade more efforts to connect with the youth of the Conference, including a BCS informationtable at Youth Convo.The Board is proud of its partnership with the Wisconsin Council of Churches by providingfinancial support in the publication of Hunger on Our Doorstep and a comprehensiveresource packet on the death penalty advisory referendum called the EducationalResource Packet for Wisconsin Congregations. These outstanding materials weresent to all of our United Methodist churches, with several congregations implementingthe study. These educational guides could not have been produced on our own as a Conference.The Board’s priorities of advocacy and education have been an excellentmatch with the WCC’s work, and as a Conference, we greatly benefit from this partnership.Finally, the Board has offered a series of non-violence workshops. These workshopshave been held in local UM churches and have addressed the critical issues of makingpeace an action verb, not simply a noun. We are particularly proud of the up-comingbullying workshop designed for youth and adults. In light of recent tragedies in localschool districts, educating and empowering our youth for peace is essential.Plans for the Coming YearIn 2008 the Board has decided to make its focus the “Social Creed.” 2008 will be thecentennial celebration of the Methodist Church’s decision to adhere to a creed thatspeaks to social and civic righteousness. As it is the Board’s mandate to analyze theissues that confront individuals and our society, we look forward to educating the Con-244Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalference through plans and programs that will encourage the making of a more humaneand peaceful world. As we educate on the history, development, and future of the SocialCreed (now Social Principles) we feel that individuals as well as the body of ourConference will benefit from a re-examination of social holiness. Jesus Christ lived anddied in public—a message for all of us Christians to consider and live by.Amanda Stein, ChairpersonBOARD OF GLOBAL MINISTRIESIntroductory CommentsAccountabilityThe Conference Board of Global Ministries has the responsibility for the oversight andthe coordination of the mission work of the Annual Conference. The Board, in establishingits membership policy, seeks to reflect the diversity of the Annual Conference.Members are selected from each of the districts. There are also at-large memberselected by the Annual Conference and by the Board itself. The Board meets three timesannually (two face-to-face meetings and one phone conference). All Board membersare encouraged to participate in one of the Board’s committees.Philosophy and PrioritiesThe Conference Board of Global Ministries is responsible for maintaining the connectionalrelationship between the General Board of Global Ministries and the Annual Conference.The Conference Board sees as one of its priorities the importance of makingthe mission of the General Church real by inspiring, educating, recruiting, training, informingand deploying persons and congregations for mission and ministry on the local,national and international levels.InformationThe Board of Global Ministries establishes mission priorities and funding procedures,recommends ministries to be funded through Conference apportionment dollars anddesignated funds, evaluates the impact and effectiveness of those ministries, challengeslocal churches to be in mission, educates districts and local churches about opportunitiesand channels for mission and giving, and provides avenues for hands-on mission efforts.The Board also has oversight responsibilities for segregated funds from gifts and bequestsdesignated to be used for mission.Highlights and Accomplishments of the Last Year (2006-2007)1. Health and Welfare Ministries Committee (David Green, Chair) is the connectinglink between the Conference and the following 13 health and welfare ministriesin Wisconsin related to the United Methodist Church.• Bellin Health System• Cedar Crest• Christian Community Home• Evergreen Retirement Community• Harbor House Crisis Shelter• Morrow Memorial Home• Northcott Neighborhood HouseConference Boards245

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journal• Parish Nurse Ministries• Schmitt Woodland Hills• Sheboygan Senior Community• United Methodist Children’s Services• United Methodist Hospitals Ministry• Village at Manor ParkThe committee is the channel through which the Conference provides financialsupport to the Ministries in two ways – 1) from apportionments and 2) GoldenCross offerings. The primary recipients of apportionment funds, which are part ofthe Board of Global Ministries budget, are four Ministries that serve persons withgreat needs and few resources.• Harbor House Crisis Shelter• Northcott Neighborhood House• United Methodist Children’s Services• United Methodist Hospital MinistryAll churches are encouraged to annually collect a Golden Cross offering which isdistributed by the Health and Welfare Ministries Committee to all of the Ministriesthat have a current Affiliation Agreement with the Conference. The Golden Crosscontributions are shared equally among the ministries and used to support their benevolentprograms. In 2006, Golden Cross offerings provided over $20,000 in support.The Committee is responsible for working with each Ministry to have a currentCovenant of Affiliation with the Conference. Currently, 11 Ministries have suchcovenants. An objective for 2007 is to develop a covenant with the Village atManor Park. A covenant with the Parish Nurse Ministries is not appropriate sincethese are ministries of individual churches that collectively relate to the H&WMC.A project begun in 2006 is to strengthen the relationship between the governingbodies of the Ministries and the leadership of the Conference. In November 2006,Bishop Linda Lee and the Committee held an invitational event for the governingbodies to explore the purpose and nature of the relationship and develop it in themost appropriate and beneficial manner for both the ministries and the Annual Conference.The Bishop and her Cabinet are utilizing the information gathered throughthe event to determine the next steps in this endeavor.Another responsibility of the Committee is to increase awareness within the localchurches about what they need to and can do to assist and support persons withdisabilities through facilities, programs, and services.The Committee membership is the CEO and/or designee and a liaison from thegoverning board of each Ministry, a liaison from the United Methodist Associationof Health and Welfare Ministries, the Committee chair, and the Mission Coordinatorof the Conference who provides part-time staff support.2. Mission Motivation Committee (Linda Pliska, Chair), in coordination with theConference Secretary of Global Ministries (Robert Odum) and District MissionSecretaries, educates, encourages, and stimulates mission work in the Conference.246Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalThe District Mission Secretaries attended a very informative training at GBGM inNew York in August, to assist them in their task of facilitating mission education inour churches.We have a lot to celebrate! We have divided into three work areas for focus: Communications,Global Mission Partners, and Advance Specials (People TouchingPeople). We celebrate the news that Wisconsin UMs recognized the importance ofMission Giving in 2006. We received:• Over $1 million for Advance Special projects and all other benevolences• More than $102,000 to support missionaries around the world.• More than $206,000 for Special Sunday Offerings (a record amount).We have a lot of work to do. With our Board of Global Ministries we are workingon establishing a communications committee, after identifying this as a major need.Our own committee goals for this Quadrennium continue to be to:a. Increase Missional Giving in Local Congregations and The Annual Conferenceso that missional giving is a daily habit and a way of life;b. Foster regular communication about Wisconsin’s Advance Specials, Missionaries,and Mission Involvement Opportunities;c. Strengthen our support of mission sites and missionaries;d. Increase our Level of Advance Special Giving and the number of churchesparticipating;e. Strengthen relationships with our Partnership Conferences.The Hunger Task Force and Refugee Task Force are subcommittees of MissionMotivation and continue to work with districts and local churches to extend themission work of the Conference. The Refugee Task Force has assumed the additionalrole of dealing with immigration issues.You can visit the Wisconsin Conference Board of Global Ministries web site, developedunder the auspices of Mission Motivation, at www.wisconsinumc.org/missions.3. Reconciling Ministries (Rosalind Dryver-Scott, Chair) provides funding assistancefor eight ecumenical partnerships around the state. These programs reach out topersons in stressed urban areas, persons involved in migrant work, prison populations,and other conditions of need. This committee also supports the Communityof Shalom, Shalom Zone, Inc. linked to Solomon Community Temple in Milwaukee.Members of the committee continue to maintain contact with each of the programsfunded by this agency.4. Conference Partnership is organized into two sub-committees: one to focus onour partner relationship with the Methodist Church of Cuba (Donna Veatch, Chair),the other to focus on our relationship with the Rio Grande Conference (Rosie Mayorga,Chair). The Cuba Partnership sent a group of people to Cuba in April, 2006.The Rio Grande Partnership works with our National Volunteers in Mission committeeto organize workcamps there. Our Board will be reviewing our Partner Relationshipsin the coming year and will make recommendations to the 2008 annualconference for future relationships.Conference Boards247

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journal5. Volunteers in Mission develops policy, selects work sites, and recruits leadershipfor short-term mission projects at Conference, Jurisdictional, national, and internationalsites. VIM has established National VIM (Wendell Williams, Chair) andInternational VIM (Don Heeringa, Chair) divisions within the committee. VIMprojects are largely self-funded and continue to grow in size and scope. In 2006 atotal of 456 work campers provided over 214,000 hours of volunteer labor for missionprojects. VIM also continues to train leaders for future work camps.6. The Wisconsin Conference Disaster Response Team (David Sharpe, Chair), hascompleted response work for the Viola and Stoughton tornados. UMCOR provided$112,500 in relief funds, along with an additional $56,312 contributed by WisconsinUMs. $132,132.67 was given in direct aid to survivors to assist them in theirrecovery.Two Cluster training events were held last year at Tomah and Milton, resulting inthe addition of more people to the response teams and increased awareness for preparednessin the event of a disaster.Wisconsin hosted a regional UMCOR training at Byron Center last November. Sixmembers of the committee were trained. In December Dave Sharpe taught a CaseManagement course at the inaugural Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters(VOAD) conference at Ft. McCoy.The committee approved a revision and update of their Disaster Response Manual.An Advance has been approved for a Disaster Response Fund. The number is 7775.Funds contributed stay in Wisconsin for training, support and relief.We sent one person to the Sager-Brown UMCOR training center in November forUMCOR training in all modules of a disaster response.Plans for the Coming Year (2007-2008)1. The Health and Welfare Ministries Committee will:a. continue to collaborate with the Bishop and her cabinet to strengthen the linkagebetween the Conference and the governing bodies of the Ministries,b. increase the number of churches participating in the annual Golden Cross offeringand the amount of support provided by each congregation,c. increase knowledge of the Ministries among the members of the churches andthe importance of apportionment payments to the four Ministries receivingthose fundsd. inform churches about how they can respond to persons with disabilities.2. The Conference Partnership Committee will begin the process to identify newPartner Conference relationships for the next quadrennium and will bring thoserecommendations to the 2008 session of the annual conference.3. Volunteers in Mission will continue to develop work-camp opportunities at state,national, and international sites, and encourage participation in those camps.248Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journal4. Mission Motivation is focusing on these areas to enhance our conference’s involvementin Mission work:a. Create a Circuit Advocate for Missions program, in which each circuit will beinvited to name a contact person for missions information and activities.b. Develop the new People Touching People Manual for 2008 Quadrennium, askingeach agency and program approved for Advance Specials to renew its applicationand inviting and approving new ones.c. Establish a Global Mission Parternship program, inviting churches to respondto certain criteria to be recognized as being committed to Mission awarenessand giving.d. We are looking at ways to focus on our youth and young people, both pastorsand laity, with the intent of getting them involved them at an earlier age in missionactivity.e. Through our new Conference Mission Secretary, Robert Odum, and the DistrictMission Secretaries we will continue to invite local churches to host ourown Mission Interpreters and itinerating missionaries as they spend time inWisconsin during the year. We continue to challenge each local church in ourconference to participate in at least one Advance Special this year.5. Reconciling Ministries will continue to strengthen its connection with and evaluationof the various ecumenical ministries receiving support from the committee.They will explore innovative ways to support those missions through connectionswith the Circuit Teams in those areas. An emphasis in 2006 will be to visit each ofthe projects that receives funding through Reconciling Ministries. This committeewelcomed Rosalind Dryver-Scott as their new chair.6. Disaster Response will continue to work with the School for Christian Mission totrain workers with children in a disaster. If not actively engaged in an operation,we will do a readiness drill. We will continue to participate in the Voluntary OrganizationsAssisting Disasters (VOADs) at the state and county levels. We arecommitted to a higher level of training and readiness so that we can be equal anddependable partners in the relief and recovery phases of a disaster.BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND STUDENT MINISTRY (BHESM)A. Introductory CommentsAs an agency of the Wisconsin Conference and the General Church (GBHEM), the missionof the Board of Higher Education and Student Ministry is to facilitate, nurture, support,and network with campus ministries, campus ministers, Wesley Foundations,United Methodist schools and local churches in order to support students in postsecondaryeducation and to develop a new generation of Christians committed to faith.B. Highlights and Accomplishments of the Past Year• During the 2006 year, our Board used our apportioned dollars to grant eight campusministries a total of $94,000 including Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, Menomonie,Milwaukee, Platteville, River Falls, and Whitewater.Conference Boards249

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journal• Financially, the Board continued our support of North Central College with$15,000 and supported Wiley College with $1,500.• Financially supported six students to attend the Midwest Student Gathering.• Financially supported the Shalom Zone with $500 to help Milwaukee County minorityyouth have an opportunity to visit a variety of college campuses throughoutthe United States.• The Board gathered with campus ministers for the purpose of networking, sharingideas and talking about how the Board can best be of support to our campus ministriesin Wisconsin.• Sponsored the Lina McCord student at Annual Conference to interpret and promotethe Black College Fund.• Provided Molly Kral, Erika Krueger and Margaret Bresser, three active students inour Annual Conference, with $700 scholarships to attend United Methodist-relatedcolleges.• Our Board’s work in 2006 continued to be rewarding as it focused on communicatingand relationship-building, while helping students connect with God and grow intheir faith.C. Plans for the Coming Year• As our board meets with campus ministries we are encouraging them to find waysto introduce their campus ministry to the circuit(s) in their area. It is not our expectationthat campus ministries would become circuit mission projects, but we arelooking to build visibility and awareness of campus ministries that are part of eachcircuit in our Annual Conference.• Our board will work to help campus ministries, with the support of local churches,circuits and the Conference, recognize and prepare students who have gifts forchurch leadership; either as clergy leaders or lay leaders.Jenny Arneson, ChairpersonBOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY1. AccountabilityThe work of the Board of Ordained Ministry focuses on the recruitment, credentialingand nurture of the clergy members of the Wisconsin Conference. Our Purpose/Missionis clearly outlined in great detail in 634 of The Book of Discipline of the United MethodistChurch, 2004.2. Highlights and Accomplishments of the Past YearThe Board of Ordained Ministry has three primary tasks, as mentioned above: the recruitment,credentialing, and nurture of the clergy members of the annual conference. Itis the board’s responsibility, on behalf of the annual conference, to determine whetherthose who offer themselves in service as clergypersons meet the qualifications, ethical250Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalstandards, and expectations of The United Methodist Church for its clergy, so that thechurches of the annual conference may have competent, effective, and skilled clergyleadership. The Board does this directly through the credentialing/commissioning processfor probationary clergy members of the annual conference and the ordination processfor full clergy members of the annual conference, and indirectly through the supervisionof the eight District Committees on Ordained Ministry, which are responsible foradministering the process by which persons become certified candidates for ordainedministry, and the supervision of those appointed to serve as licensed local pastors. ByDiscipline, the District Committees on Ordained Ministry function as subcommittees ofthe Board of Ordained Ministry and are accountable to the Board for their work.The Board works in consultation with the cabinet when persons who are clergy membersof other Annual Conferences or other denominations are being considered fortransfer into or appointment to serve United Methodist churches within the WisconsinAnnual Conference.Whenever any clergy member of the Annual Conference requests a change in their relationshipwith the Annual Conference, the Board of Ordained Ministry has a role in thatprocess as well. The Board is responsible for considering requests for retirement, leaveof absence, family leave, sabbatical leave, study/renewal leave, and approval of extensionministry sites beyond the connectional structure of The United Methodist Church.The Board of Ordained Ministry meets for at least three days twice each year: in February,when candidates for Probationary and Associate Membership are interviewed, andin November, when candidates for Full Membership and Ordination are interviewed.(The Board now holds its meetings at the Bishop Sharon Zimmerman Rader RetreatCenter at Pine Lake Camp. We have found that utilizing the facilities at Pine Lakesaves about $5,000 per year in meeting expenses, compared to the cost of meeting at acommercial facility.) The Executive Committee of the Board also meets several timesduring the year, often via telephone or video conference call. The District Committeeson Ordained Ministry each meet between 3 and 5 times per year, depending upon thenumber of interviews which they need to conduct.The Board conducts two Inquiring Candidate Retreats each year, in January and July.At these weekend retreats persons who have experienced a call to ministry within TheUnited Methodist Church are invited to explore that call in more depth without the needto make a public commitment to ministry. They also receive information about thecomplex (and sometimes intimidating) process of entering the United Methodist ministry.The Board also conducts a two-day “New Clergy Orientation” program at Byron Centereach August. All clergypersons who have been appointed that year to serve their firstappointment in a Wisconsin United Methodist congregation and all clergypersons whoare returning to a local church appointment from an extended leave or from an extensionministry appointment are expected to attend this retreat. At the retreat, the Board,Cabinet, Conference Staff, the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation, and some otheragencies, share information about the work of the Annual Conference. The retreat alsoincludes an intensive training in sexual ethics and the maintenance of proper boundariesby clergypersons.Conference Boards251

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalThrough the Ministerial Education Fund, the Board provides scholarships to seminarystudents from the Annual Conference who are certified candidates for ministry, as wellas Course of Study Scholarships to licensed local pastors, and continuing educationgrants to individual clergy persons serving Wisconsin United Methodist Churches.In 2006 six persons from Wisconsin attended the national “Exploration” event, whichwas held in Jacksonville, Florida. “Exploration” is sponsored by the General Board ofHigher Education and Ministry and is held once each quadrennium. It is an opportunityfor young people from high school age through their early to mid 20’s to explore thepossibility of ministry in The United Methodist Church. The Board of Ordained Ministryprovided funding for these persons to attend the event through an offering that wascollected at the Annual Conference Session some years ago, and through the MinisterialEducation Fund. The Board is also working with other conference Boards of OrdainedMinistry in the North Central Jurisdiction to develop a regional “Exploration” event tobe held sometime in 2007 or 2008.In 2006 the Board began to develop standards of clergy effectiveness for the WisconsinAnnual Conference. Working with Dr. Mark Sundby of the North Central MinistryDevelopment Center, and with the support of a generous grant from the WisconsinUnited Methodist Foundation, the board has begun an intensive study to identify effectiveclergy, and through a process of interviews, assessments, and group discussions, todefine clergy effectiveness.The Board has also been approached by representatives of Garrett-Evangelical TheologicalSeminary about developing a program through which the seminary would continueto work with and provide structured growth opportunities for G-ETS graduatesduring their probationary membership period. The Board is excited about the possibilitiesof this program, and looking forward to further conversations with the seminaryabout this.The Board of Ordained Ministry depends heavily upon the staff support provided by theExecutive Secretary of the Board. The Executive Secretary maintains the personnelrecords for the nearly 200 people who are under the care of the Board, either in the candidacyprocess, in extension ministry, on leave, or in some other relationship with theBoard. He provides guidance for those going through the process of entering ministry,which in The United Methodist Church is incredibly lengthy and complex, as well astraining for mentors and District Committees on Ordained Ministry. Two of the majorresponsibilities of the Executive Secretary are the preparation of materials submitted bycandidates for commissioning and ordination for review by the Board at our Novemberand February meetings, and the preparation of the Board’s report to the Clergy Session(also know as “The Business of the Annual Conference.) For the past five years theBoard has been conducting background investigations on all candidates for any clergyposition in the Wisconsin Conference, which has added to the workload of the ExecutiveSecretary, who is also responsible for the preliminary evaluation of all psychologicalassessments for candidates.During 2006 it become apparent that the work of the Executive Secretary of the Boardrequired significantly more than the one-quarter time which had been devoted to thisposition. The Board could not function nearly as well without this position. The Boardof Ordained Ministry therefore asked the Council on Finance and Administration toinclude in the 2007 Proposed Budget funds so that the position of Executive Secretary252Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalof the Board of Ordained Ministry could be increased to three-quarter time. The Cabinetand the Council on Finance and Administration approved this request and includedit in the 2007 Budget which was approved by the Annual Conference. Through internaladjustments in its 2006 budget line items the Board was able to make it possible for theincrease to three-quarter time to take place on August 1, 2006.3. Plans for the Coming YearIn addition to the on-going work outlined above, in 2007 and 2008 the Board anticipatesdeveloping a move comprehensive program of clergy recruitment, including a presenceat junior and senior high convo and at conference summer camping programs, and amore comprehensive program to visit students at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminaryand the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, which are the two schoolswhere most Wisconsin Conference seminarians are enrolled.One important item which will be considered by the 2008 General Conference is thereport of the Ministry Study Commission. This report may result in proposals for significantchanges to the process for entering ministry, as well as to the ordering of ministryitself. If the General Conference approves a significant re-structuring of ministry forthe coming quadrennium the Board will need to devote significant time to studying anddiscussing any changes made in the Ministry section of the 2008 Book of Discipline andhow to implement those changes within our candidacy and ordination process. Eachquadrennium the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry conducts trainingsessions for representatives and staff of all Annual Conference Boards of OrdainedMinistry to discuss any changes made by the General Conference. These training sessionswill most likely take place in the fall of 2008, and we anticipate that representativesof the Wisconsin Conference Board will participate in these training sessions.Richard Strait, ChairpersonKevin Rice Myers, Executive SecretaryJOINT BOARD OF PENSIONS,INSURANCE & EQUITABLE COMPENSATIONIntroductory CommentsThe Joint Board of Pensions, Insurance & Equitable Compensation (Joint Board) hasstewardship responsibility for the following:Pensions, death and disability benefits for 1) active and retired clergy under appointmentto the Wisconsin Conference, and 2) active and retired laity employed by the WisconsinConference.Group health insurance for 1) active and retired clergy under appointment to the WisconsinConference, 2) active and retired laity employed by the Wisconsin Conference,and 3) active and retired laity employed by Wisconsin United Methodist churches.Equitable Compensation support to local churches to ensure that pastors under appointmentare provided at least minimum salary compensation at churches that may needfinancial assistance.Conference Boards253

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalHighlights and Accomplishments of the Past YearThe Joint Board met all pension obligations of the Wisconsin Conference by paying thePre-82 Pension Plan obligation at the rate approved by the Wisconsin Conference.Twelve congregations were provided Equitable Compensation support. The Joint Boardworked to balance premium costs with health insurance benefits through our participationin HealthFlex, the United Methodist denomination’s health insurance plan, to activeand retired clergy, surviving clergy spouses, and lay personnel of the Wisconsin Conference.When the West Wisconsin and East Wisconsin Conferences of the Methodist Churchmerged along with the Wisconsin Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren, theWest Wisconsin Pension Trust Fund and the East Wisconsin Pension Trust Fund wereestablished. The East Wisconsin Pension Trust is administered by a separate Board, andits audited financial statements are provided elsewhere in the Conference Yearbook andJournal. The West Wisconsin Pension Trust is administered by the Joint Board. Itsassets are invested in a separate fund in the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation.Financial information for the West Wisconsin Pension Trust is as follows:1/1/2006 beginning balance $525,902Less benefits paid in 2006 (47,218)Less administrative expenses ( 2,676)Plus earnings 10,873Plus unrealized gain 28,26212/31/2006 ending balance $515,143As required by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits, the Conference FinanceOffice began billing churches for monthly premiums for the Ministerial PensionPlan (MPP) and the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP). To avoid paying a monthlyservice fee, churches are strongly encouraged to pay these bills through a monthly automaticwithdrawal of the total premiums due for their pastor(s) from the church’s bankaccount. Of 372 clergy, 251 clergy and their charges are having their premiums paid byautomatic withdrawal.New Pension Plan:As mandated by the 2004 General Conference, a new clergy pension program called theClergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) replaced the Ministerial Pension Plan(MPP) on January 1, 2007. Deacons are covered under CRSP. Churches that have aDeacon on staff are required to make contributions into CRSP. Workshops were heldlast year to educate both clergy and lay leadership about the new pension plan.As usual, the Joint Board sponsored a Retirement Seminar for those clergy planning toretire in the current year.In an ever-continuing effort to provide affordable health insurance to active and retiredclergy as well as Conference and local church lay employees, the Joint Board contractedfor a medical market analysis to be performed to determine if there were more attractivehealth insurance alternatives available. As a result of this analysis, our retiree Medicaresupplemental coverage was changed to a new carrier. This change resulted in premiumsavings for both the Conference and the participants. The market analysis also resultedin the Joint Board making a change within HealthFlex for our active participants to be254Conference Boards

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalin a different network plan. The new network expanded the number of in-network providersand now allows all of our participants to participate in the network. Previouslywe had a number of participants who were unable to do so.The Joint Board has been diligently working, through the Health Insurance Subcommittee,to focus on the wellness of our participants. As a result, we sponsored an incentiveprogram to encourage all enrollees in the Conference health insurance plan (HealthFlex)to participate in “HealthQuotient,” a health assessment tool. “HealthQuotient” providesa personalized report and a prioritized list of health concerns and recommends actions tohelp the participant design a wellness plan. There is no cost to the participant to takethe “HealthQuotient” assessment. Participation was excellent. Fifty-four percent of oureligible enrollees participated. In addition, seventy-five percent of our circuits had overforty percent participation in this program.The Joint Board also commends the Board of Ordained Ministry for its efforts related toclergy wellness.Plans for the Coming YearThe Joint Board will be expanding our wellness initiative this year for active clergy andlay employees. Eligible enrollees in the Conference health insurance plan will be encouragedto once again complete the “HealthQuotient” assessment and also to completean annual wellness exam or check. We are also sponsoring a program called“Procheck”, a blood screening check, at the site of Annual Conference this year. Grouprates will also be offered for Weight Watchers participation by eligible enrollees.The Joint Board is sponsoring the address to the Annual Conference this year by theRev. Dr. G. Scott Morris, Executive Director of the Church Health Center in Memphis,Tennessee, and we look forward to his presentation on physical wellness.A task force on future retiree health insurance benefits has been formed. The task forcewill be using actuarial data to look at how to fund current and future retiree health insurancebenefits and reduce a projected funding liability in this area.The Joint Board will also be responsible for implementation of any changes to the pensionprogram which may be approved by the 2008 General Conference.Submitted by Fran Deaner, ChairpersonConference Boards255

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCOMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORYIn 2006, the CAH completed the long anticipated move of the Archives collection fromthe third floor of Conference Building to the newly renovated space on the first floor.Unfortunately, the timing of move was such that we were unable to cull the collectionor properly organize its placement before its transfer into the new space. Consequently,there was about a 6-week period when the Archive was unable to take research requests.However, through the hard work of our Archivist, Lynn Lubekman; Researcher, MarySchroeder; and Volunteers, Bob Gruetzmacher and Ed Schroeder there has been considerableprogress made in transforming the Archives into more professional and functionalagency.Although service was disrupted for a time, we were able to assist a number of peoplewith historical research. These included those interested in genealogy, church anniversaries,conference history and others. In 2006, the Archives responded to 73 phone inquiries,25 walk-ins and 87 inquiries via emails.At the 2006 Annual Conference, the CAH was instrumental in the remembrance of the150th anniversary of the founding of the Wisconsin Conference of the Evangelical Association.A large display was mounted that retold the history of Jacob Albright and theEvangelicals in Wisconsin. The display was prominently located in the lobby whereConference delegates were able to view it at their leisure. In addition, Sandy Kintnerand Wil Bloy prepared a 20-minute DVD that told the story of the Evangelicals andfeatured an interview with retired pastor Rev. Rollie Fertch. The DVD was shown at theTuesday evening banquet. In addition, “historical minutes” were prepared and read atthe end of each Conference Session.We also continued the practice of preparing and presenting Service Awards at AnnualConference to pastors with 25, 50 and 75 years of service in the Conference.In November 2006, the hard work of our Museum committee was capped off with thededication of a new exhibit entitled “Native Americans in Wisconsin Methodism” at ourConference Museum in Greenfield, WI. The dedication ceremony was a very excitingevent and attended by over one hundred people. Following the dedication service, activitiesincluded drumming, dancing, Native American foods, and a viewing of the exhibit.The exhibit will be on display through the upcoming year.We published three editions of Flashbacks, a newsletter that contains tips for preservationof church records, announcements of upcoming historical events as well as localchurch histories. Flashbacks is sent to every congregation with a local church historian.It is also available by subscription. The latest issue is available on-line at our website. Inaddition, we have bound previous issues of Flashbacks (Vol 3-Vol 30). A copy is nowlocated at the Archives. In addition, a copy was sent to the UMC General Archives andto the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives.Work continued on two histories that we hope will be published soon: First, an accountof Afro-American Methodism in Wisconsin by Lois Olson, and second a history of theEvangelicals’ work with the Italians in Wisconsin by Tony Farina. We anticipate thatthese will be published in 2007.Our website continues to be updated and maintained. A pdf file of our “Family Tree”poster is now available for down loading.Sandy Kintner, Chair CAH256Commissions and Committees

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCONFERENCE COMMUNICATIONS/INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UPDATEWithin the last several months the Conference Communications/Information Technology(IT) area has experienced a number of changes that you may, or may not, be awareof:Staff changes occurred as Becky Guenther, our temp employee, moved on to other endeavors,and Patricia Falkner was hired as the new IT Comprehensive Support Specialist.Patricia (Pat) is currently helping to support the IT area.As many of you know already the IT department is only staffed by two people, and becauseof this the quality of our service is nowhere near as good as it should be. We haveput in place for the entire Conference the proper equipment needed to bring the Conferenceinto the 21st century. There are no longer issues with equipment failing because ofexcessive heat.We continue to help and assist the United Methodist Churches and United Methodistrelated organizations with everything from advice on buying new computers to helpingwith new volunteers building church websites with the free web hosting and email thatwe provide.Ok, some of you are thinking, “Free” - well it is not really free. This is your apportionmentdollars at work. Most of the time people never think of us unless there is a problem.While we can be slow to get back to you we always fix and correct the problem, sothat you can continue with as little disruption as possible. Let me say that we are trulysorry that the communications system has let you down in the past and that the two ofus are always striving to do preventive maintenance to keep as much as we can fromgoing wrong.By now you have seen the ongoing changes to the Conference web site. With thechanges in the web site we have incorporated a new content management system thatallows Conference staff members to update their own part of the Conference web site.This is an ongoing process and hope to have it done in under 2 years. Let us know if thechanges make it easier for you to use/navigate the web site.As you all know the Conference email system has been through some great changes.The new system has experienced considerable growth. We are now hosting just under1,800 email users. This has come a long way from the 700 or so email users in 2005.With the implementation of Barracuda Spam firewall we have brought Spam back undercontrol. Since last March (2006) the Spam firewall had over five million messageshit our system. The Spam firewall only allowed just over four hundred thousandthrough. The four and a half million messages left over were completely Spam.By the end of 2006 there were significant issues in the Sun Prairie Conference CenterBuilding with network lines that feed different parts of the building. In the first part of2007 estimates have been sent to the Episcopal Office for replacement of all networklines that need to be replaced.The new Data Center space now has a dedicated air conditioning/ventilation systemworking 24/7 to provide the right environment for the equipment to function and almostnot fail. The last need for the Data Center is an electrical generator to provide buffering/Commissions and Committees257

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalmodulating of extreme power surges/failures (via a UPS system that we have in placenow). The Data Center experiences an average of 4 power outages a year. These measureswould continue to ensure good stewardship of the investment we have all made inour Conference communications system.Thank you for your patience in the midst of all of the many changes and disruptions.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCOUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIONIntroductory comments:The CF&A’s purpose “shall be to develop, maintain and administer a comprehensiveand coordinated plan of fiscal and administrative policies, procedures and managementservices for the Annual Conference.” (Book of Discipline, paragraph 610)Highlights and accomplishments of the 2006 year:First and foremost, CF&A would like to thank the following churches for going beyondall expectation to pay more than 100 percent of their 2006 apportionments, for paying100 percent of their 2006 apportionments, or for moving toward full apportionmentpayment by paying a higher percentage of their apportionments in 2006 than in 2005:(See list attached at the end of this report)CF&A spends most of its time reviewing, approving and monitoring the Annual Conferencebudget. This process includes 1) reviewing Plans for Ministry and Budget Proposalssubmitted by the Conference boards, agencies and committees; 2) reviewing recommendationsregarding the budget from the Vision and Quality Improvement Team andthe Cabinet; 3) discussing the Plans for Ministry and budget with the Conferenceboards, agencies and committees and 4) proposing a budget to the Annual Conference.The process is designed to assure that the budget is coordinated with the overall missionand plan for ministry of the Conference. CF&A meets periodically to review financialresults against budget and to direct and approve the annual audit and to approve changesin administrative policy. CF&A also reviews financial operations of the Conference toassure adequate internal controls are in place and suggests ways to improve financesboth from an efficiency and control perspective.For 2006, the Wisconsin Annual Conference paid in full the General Conference apportionmentsfor the 18 th straight year. In addition to apportionments, Wisconsin UnitedMethodists gave over $210,000 to the special Sunday offerings and another $881,000 toAdvances and other benevolent giving through the Conference.Apportionment receipts in 2006 were $550,000 less than budgeted while expenses were$470,000 less than planned, leaving a deficit of $80,000. Cash reserves are $150,000below Conference goals. Because of the shortfall in apportionment receipts, Conferenceboards, agencies and committees were called upon during 2006 to hold down expenses,and they responded beyond expectation. Reduction of expenses, of course, cameat a cost of reduced programming.Because CF&A foresaw a possible continuing downward trend in apportionment giving,they requested and obtained from the 2006 Annual Conference approval of a new ConferencePolicy that says, “Should the Council on Finance and Administration determinethat receipts will be inadequate to meet emerging needs or unforeseen circumstances,the Council will consult with agencies receiving budgeted funds before making adjustmentsto payment appropriations or schedules. Adjustments that are made will be reportedto the next session of the annual conference for ratification.”During early 2007, CF&A determined that the aforementioned policy needed to be enactedfor 2007 and, after consultation with agencies and boards at two summit meetingsCouncils, Officers and Other Agencies263

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journaland a regular budget review meeting, agreed to a proposal to reduce the 2007 expensebudget. These adjustments will be presented for ratification at the 2007 Annual Conference.CF&A wishes to thank all those churches who paid 100 percent or more of their apportionmentsand those churches who have made significant improvement toward full connectionalgiving. We encourage those churches that did not reach 100 percent to workhard at increasing their connectional giving.Plans for the coming year:Our most important task is to continue to monitor apportionment receipts and expensesto mitigate financial deficits and maintain a positive cash flow. We will continue towork with the Cabinet to increase apportionment giving.A task force has been appointed to study apportionment formulas and a member ofCF&A is participating in a retiree health care task force.We will participate in the Conference strategic planning process.We will continue to review various areas of financial operation to assure sound internalcontrols are in place.We will continue to oversee the Director of Finance and Administration and her staff toassure that the financial duties of the Conference are carried out in an efficient and effectivemanner.264Councils, Officers and Other Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCONFERENCE COUNCIL ON YOUTH MINISTRIESThe Conference Council on Youth Ministries is responsible for oversight of all conferencewide youth programming in the Wisconsin Annual Conference. This council notonly oversees the two Convo design teams, Wildfire! Missions, and Youth MinistryInstitute, but it also develops resources and training for use in the local church.In the last year, Conference Council on Youth Ministries to a leap in its desire to betterequip local churches in the Wisconsin Conference. It became clear that the current purposeand structure to the council was hindering its work more than helping it, and it wastime to re-evaluate what it had been doing. This was especially true as the conferencehad moved into a circuit structure, and the council needed to examine how it could betterserve that structure. It was also true that as the general church youth ministries hadmoved to a new structure as well, and in the Wisconsin Conference it was evident thatthere was a need to better connect all of the elements of the conference youth program:CCYM, Convo design teams, young adult ministry, and adults who work with youth.In March of 2006, CCYM decided to take a year of intentional focus to spend time in aprocess of visioning to see where God was leading the council. They worked to determinewhat the purpose of CCYM is and what the council needs to be for the conferenceand the local church. Through that process, CCYM has determined that its purpose is:to connect youth to God and Jesus Christ; to equip, encourage, and resource localchurches; and to say something/do something (be in mission and ministry.)In the next year, CCYM plans to continue to develop into its new structure, equippinglocal churches in the conference for ministry through leadership training opportunities,continue to develop Senior High and Junior High Convo, develop the network of Adultswho work in youth ministry, and work to better connect the three areas of young people’sministry in the Wisconsin Conference. (Youth, Young Adults, and Adults whowork in Youth Ministry.)CONFERENCE SECRETARYAccountabilityThe purpose of the office of Conference Secretary is defined in 603.7 and 606 of the2004 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, which reads in part: “Theannual conference shall keep an exact record of its proceedings according to the formsprovided by the general, jurisdictional, and central conferences.” It is the responsibilityof the Conference Secretary to maintain and publish these records.Highlights and Accomplishments of the Past YearAs “the keeper of the record” the Conference Secretary indirectly supports the work ofall other conference agencies and officers by gathering information about their work,processing and disseminating that information to the members of the annual conference,recording the actions of the annual conference, and communicating that information to avariety of agencies, organizations, and of course the local churches of the conference.The conference secretary facilitates the flow of information among the various elements268Councils, Officers and Other Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalof the conference by providing contact information in the journal, and maintains a historicalrecord that can be used in future years as a reference of previous conference actions.In addition to my responsibilities as Conference Secretary, I have been the ExecutiveSecretary of the Board of Ordained Ministry since 2001. During 2006 it become apparentthat my work as the Executive Secretary of the Board required significantly morethan the one-quarter time which had been devoted to that position. The Board of OrdainedMinistry therefore asked the Council on Finance and Administration to includein the 2007 Proposed Budget funds so that the position of Executive Secretary of theBoard of Ordained Ministry could be increased to three-quarter time. The ConferencePersonnel Committee supported this change, and recommended that my position asConference Secretary be defined as one-quarter time. The Cabinet and the Council onFinance and Administration approved this request and included it in the 2007 Budgetwhich was approved by the Annual Conference. Through internal adjustments in the2006 budget line items of both the Board of Ordained Ministry and the Conference Secretary,it became possible to make this change on August 1, 2006. As of that date I havebeen appointed full-time to the conference staff, working three-quarter time for theBoard of Ordained Ministry and one-quarter time as Conference Secretary.Plans for the Coming Year2007 is the year during this Quadrennium when each Annual Conference will elect delegatesto the 2008 General and Jurisdictional Conferences. The Conference Secretary’soffice oversees the election process. My goal is to ensure that the election process runssmoothly and accurately. The costs of this once-every-four-year process are routedthrough the Conference Secretary’s Budget. There is an additional line in the budget forthese election expenses. This line is added for this one year only, and has been be deletedin the 2008 budget proposal.Following the 2008 General Conference, the Conference Secretary will apply ConferenceRule 2.1.0 in order to calculate the number of Lay Members of Annual Conferencethat each pastoral charge in the conference is entitled to elect for the 2009 – 2012 Quadrennium,and notify each charge of that number.The following goals are ongoing each year:• To keep the record of the proceedings of the Annual Conference, and to publishthat record in the Annual Conference Yearbook and Journal.• To facilitate the work of the Annual Conference Session through the publication ofthe Pre-Conference Workbook.• To improve the accuracy of the Workbook and the Journal, and to produce them ina format which makes them easy to read and use.• To explore and implement, where appropriate, new methods of recording, storingand publishing the records of the Annual Conference.Kevin Rice Myers, Conference SecretaryCouncils, Officers and Other Agencies269

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalMOVING DIRECTORIntroductory CommentsPurpose Statement: To pay the moving expenses of pastors and laypersons employed bythe Conference from the Moving Expense Fund according to the rules of the Conference.Accountability: The Conference Moving Director, an unpaid volunteer, is appointedby, and accountable to, the Cabinet. John E. Moffatt was appointed Moving Directorstarting January 1, 2001 and continues to serve.Philosophy and Priorities: We use weight and packing allowances as incentives to keepmoving costs as low as possible. These limits are intended to promote sorting and discarding,and do-it-yourself packing as the normal practice. Our Conference policiesminimize the burden on parishes and individual pastors to plan and coordinate the simultaneousand sequential moves needed to maintain itinerancy. Most moves are billeddirectly to the Conference, so neither local parishes nor pastors are required to pay largeamounts on moving day.Information1. The Conference Moving Policy (Section 20.0.0 of the Conference Rules) describesour support of household moves for pastors and Conference staff. Important limitationsand cautions are included (Sec. 20.2.3 ff.) to help them understand the extent and financiallimits of the Moving Expense Fund. Our policy and current information are providedto persons who are moving. The Moving Director also advises those who requestan alternate professional mover, support for a self-move, or have unusual circumstances.2. Budget & Expenses. The Moving Expense Fund budget for 2006 was $211,200, butthere were fewer moves than expected. Only $150,010 (just over 71%) had been paidout when the books were closed in January 2007. So, over $60,000 of the apportionmentallocated to the Conference Moving Fund became available to help offset the shortfallin 2006 apportionment income. The Moving Director receives all moving invoices andreimbursement requests. They are reviewed and note is made of “weight additives” orother charges prohibited by Conference rules (cited above), weight or packing chargesabove the Conference allowances, and any questionable entries. Once questionableitems are clarified, vouchers are prepared and sent to the Conference Treasurer for payment.Although Graebel agreed to mail copies of its itemized billing estimates severalyears ago, during busy times they were often delayed. In 2005 Graebel shifted to electronicPDF files that are sent by email. Now the Moving Director is often able to spoterrors and question expenses, and call a pastor’s attention to estimates of excess weightbefore the move. Based on the cost of our professional moves within the Conferenceduring 2006, the excess weight charge-back rate for 2007 will be $31.00 per CWT (31¢per pound).3. Moving Costs. In this table each appointed member of a clergy or staff couple iscounted in the “No. Moved” and used to find the average. The total cost for each yearincludes the Moving Director Administration cost. Reimbursements to the Conferencefor excess weight and packing charges, mentioned in 2.(above) and shown in the fol-270Councils, Officers and Other Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journallowing tables, often continue into the following year and are not included in this accounting.Although fuel costs continued to rise during most of 2006, Graebel VanLines, Inc. continued to honor the waiver of fuel surcharges for moves within Wisconsinthat has been part of our agreement. However, because fuel surcharges do apply tointerstate shipments, we have been obliged to pay them for our interstate moves. Basedon US Department of Energy monthly reports of fuel price data, the surcharges for thenine (9) interstate moves we supported in 2006 ranged from 12% to 18% and added$3903.96 to the total cost of our moves. [By comparison, in 2005 the total of such surchargeswas $400.] Data for the most recent five years are shown in this table.Year No. MovedAvg.

The weight allowance for household goods andprofessional materials for a clergy household is 12,000 pounds; two-clergy householdsare allowed 15,000 pounds. In the following table the average weight for all moves anddetails on overweight loads for each of the past five years are shown. Before 2003 thecharge-back rate was less than the average cost.

Hence, starting in 2004, it has been understoodthat two-clergy households have a total allowance of $400. The average, numberand total amount of excess and/or unauthorized (e.g. bulky item) packing costs foreach of the past five years are shown in this table.Year Avg.

When the scale weight of a particularload of household goods (HHG) exceeds the Conference allowance, the unused portionof an individual’s packing allowance may be applied to the excess-weight charge. Anyremaining charge-back for excess weight and/or excess packing cost is billed to the personmoved. The following data show the number of moves and the total charge-backbillings greater than $10 for each of the past five years.Year No.Net charge-backTotal Billings2002 16 $6,608.462003 23 $20,473.732004 20 $10,993.502005 9 $ 4,930.662006 13 $ 8,367.247. Administrative Cost. Pre-paid telephone cards are now used to assure a very lowlong distance cost. The great majority of communication with pastors, parish trustees,the Cabinet, and moving companies is done via the Internet. First class postage is usedto mail invoices, reimbursement vouchers, the Moving Director’s Evaluation survey,and occasional letters and documents. Expenses (for telephone cards, postage, printercartridges, envelopes & paper, and travel to CF&A) submitted in 2006 by the MovingDirector were $44. The remaining value of pre-paid telephone cards, postage, stationeryand printer cartridges on hand have not been tallied but are carried forward. The Chippewa-HeartlandRegional office provided additional support in the form of occasionalFAX service, legal size paper, and photocopying.272Councils, Officers and Other Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalHighlights and AccomplishmentsTransition Workshop: The 2006 Transition Workshop, led by Rev. Dr. Mark Fowler,Director of Field Education at GETS was held at Portage UMC. The daylong workshopis sponsored and arranged by the Cabinet. It covers personal, family, and professionalconcerns that arise when leaving one parish and entering another. The Moving Directoris on hand to meet the folks who are moving and answer their questions. Although mechanicalproblems prevented the representatives from Graebel Moving & Storage inWausau to attend, they have participated for many years and have agreed to do so in thefuture. They donate the time of one or two experienced drivers to provide advice, answerquestions on moving, and demonstrate ways to pack various household items. In2006, representatives from the Clergy Spouse Support Network joined the group overlunch in order to explain their developing work in the Conference.Trial of Local Moves at an “Hourly Rate.” Acting on suggestions and encouraged bytwo short-distance hourly rate moves authorized in 2004, the Moving Director andGraebel staff at Wausau agreed on a set of preliminary guidelines for hourly rate, samedaymoves. In 2005 six moves fit the guidelines and were completed without problems.The trial was continued with eight additional moves during 2006 and it became apparentthat the lack of scale weights made it impossible to apply current Conference movingrules fairly. In consultation with Graebel representatives at the close of the year, it wasagreed that this type of service does not fit the rules for our regular moves. In the future,hourly rate moves will only be arranged as self-moves supervised by the MovingDirector on an ad hoc basis.Pastor’s Moving Report and Moving Director’s Survey: “Moving Reports” had beendeveloped as a way to assure that persons we moved got information about their move.During 2006, Graebel improved the information letters sent to persons they move. Also,since the Moving Director’s individual reports were largely based on Graebel’s billingestimates and invoices, it was possible to provide needed information directly fromthem. However, those changes upset the survey because it was designed to accompanya report of moving data to each person moving. A revised method for providing informationand obtaining evaluations will probably be instituted and tested with the 2006cohort before Annual Conference. The process and results will be incorporated in thereport for 2007.Plans for the Coming YearAs noted above, a revision of information reporting and the collection of evaluationshas immediate importance. Because of the importance of moves for our clergy, theMoving Director continues to meet with the Clergy Spouse Support Group (CSSN). In2006, revision of the Moving Director’s page on the Conference web site was deferredin favor of maintaining operation of the DS Move Request form for the Regional Offices.Improvements to the Moving Director web page will be attempted as ConferenceIT resources become available.John E.

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalUNITED METHODIST WOMENIn 2006 the United Methodist Women faced some major changes. Our chief executive,Deputy Secretary of the Women’s Division of the General Board of Global Ministries,Jan Love, resigned to take a position at Emory College. Our interim executive is LoisDaughway, who was our special guest a few years ago in Portage for our annual gathering.In July we moved the Conference School of Christian Mission back to Ripon College.Our drive-in day was one of the hottest last summer, making the visit on campus ratherunpleasant. The studies for the year were ‘Shalom-Salaam-Peace,’ ‘Globalization: Impactin Our Lives,’ and ‘India and Pakistan.’ Leadership for our studies was exceptional.Numbers for the school were down this year as were the numbers for YOMICAyouthmission camp. This year our studies include: ‘Music and Mission,’ ‘Israel andPalestine,’ and ‘Globalization: Its Impact on Our Lives.’ We again will be blessed withexceptional leadership.Our annual gathering was held in October at Wausau First Church where we were led in‘We Are Vessels in Mission through Spiritual Growth’ by Emmy Lou John. We weretreated to hand thrown small cups made by Emmy Lou in which we shared communion.This year we will be meeting at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells and will beled by Marva Cummins from Women’s Division. Our theme is ‘We Are Vessels inMission through Membership Nurture and Outreach.’Our conference will have the distinction of having the opportunity to use the new GenieBank Intern, Courtney Jones, from Women’s Division to encourage young women andteens to join United Methodist Women. Wisconsin is among 10 conferences to use herskills and leadership. She will also meet with the executive team so that we can sharewith districts and local units methods of involving younger women.In 2006 we lost members and units, but we were able to add and re-charter three newunits of United Methodist Women. We did not meet our pledge to mission, but did increaseour mission giving. It only takes two dollars per week per member to meet ourmission giving goals.In April of 2007 we will be sponsoring a Resurrection Women spiritual growth retreatfor the entire conference at the Green Lake Conference Center. Next March we will beattending our Jurisdiction meeting in Minneapolis to elect our representatives toWomen’s Division.Julie Miehe, PresidentCouncils, Officers and Other Agencies275

Our investment policiesare designed specifically to serve the long-term investment strategies of UnitedMethodist ministries, endowments, trustees’ funds and other permanent funds. We seekto provide maximum benefits of investment growth and earnings, while maintaining aconservative investment strategy and minimizing risk levels. In addition, our funds investmentpolicy operates under the United Methodist Social Principles.

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalout our Wisconsin Annual Conference. The Foundation is a totally self-funded ministry,which continually increases our level of services and grants to the life and ministry ofthe Wisconsin United Methodist Church. Through careful administration and planning,we strive to provide programming, resources and consultation to all United Methodistindividuals and congregations in the state, regardless of their distance from our offices.We have an expanded conference room/display area at the Foundation office. In additionto displaying planned giving materials and brochures that are available through ouroffices, we also have a display of over 20 current financial “stewardship” programs andresources. This is intended to provide lay and clergy with a hands-on opportunity toreview annual campaign programs, video and study materials, and other ideas for revitalizingstewardship in the congregation. A brochure summarizing each of these campaigns,ordering information and cost is also available through our office. We exist toserve the entire church!As of December 31, 2006, our Church Mortgage Loan Program has 21 active mortgageloans for churches, including one for the Wisconsin Annual Conference. Mortgageloans total $5.4 million and are often at better interest rates for the congregations, leavingmore funds available for programs and other local church expenses. The correspondingChurch Loan Pooled Fund is providing other congregations with enhancedinvestment return over our traditional Fixed Income Fund. One hundred fifty-six churchaccounts, and thirty-five Conference accounts are taking advantage of the enhancedreturn available with our Church Loan Pooled Fund. This is a wonderful example ofchurches assisting other churches.Four capital campaigns were conducted between summer of 2006 and the end of theyear raising a total of $1.275 million for these building projects or debt reduction. PrecampaignEvaluation Studies were held at eight churches. Presentations were madeabout the capital campaign service to seven churches in 2006.Charitable Gift Annuities, available through the Foundation to all Wisconsin UnitedMethodists, continue to be the most popular way for donors to make a gift to the church.Donors establishing Charitable Gift Annuities receive an income payment for the remainderof their lifetime. For donors making “life income” gifts exceeding $50,000, aCharitable Remainder Trust is still the most frequently used gift vehicle. We take seriouslythe need for our staff to be current in the regulations and opportunities impactingthe area of planned giving, for the benefit of our donors and the church.3. Up-Date Informationa.

Over $230,000 was provided as benevolent care. Donations continue to grow inimportance as Medicaid payments languish. Approximately 33 residents receivefinancial support especially due to Medical Assistance shortfalls. This represents asignificant dependence on adequate State reimbursement for quality services.2. Our Health Center, a Skilled Nursing Facility, received its 8th “cite free” care surveyfrom State compliance surveyors. Only 10% of the State’s Nursing Homesreceived a “cite free” survey in 2006.3. SWH affirmed our commitment to Quality by enrolling in the nationally recognized“Quality First” program. In addition, SWH staff actively participates in StatewideQuality Improvement Organization, Medastar, programs. The Board has directedenrollment in the “Advancing Excellence” program a national effort that incorporatedthe best elements of all the initiatives.4. Our Dietary Manager is committed to maintaining our excellent food service program.In addition, SWH provides a mutually beneficial community program byproviding jail meals to Richland County.5. Our Community Based residential Facility (CBRF), Westview, is surveyed biannuallyunder the new more stringent HSS 83 rules. SWH expects to maintain our “sitefree” survey record which currently spans six years.6. We are very proud of our staff and their commitment to our ministry. Our staffturnover rate remains below both state and national averages.7. Richland County is the 5th pilot county in the “State Family Care Program.” Thispresents many opportunities and challenges. As Family Care expands SWH iscommitted to extending our ministry to our clients living at Schmitt WoodlandHills and in the larger service area. Currently over 100 clients are served bySchmitt Woodland Hills in the community.8. SWH has “partnered” with “Impact 7 Inc.” to build a 19 unit HUD low/moderateincome apartments on our site. This project will open up our “backyard” for us topursue our dreams. The first step, street access, was completed in 2006.9. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified program, therapy and rehabilitation servicesare critical. During 2006 over half of our nursing home admissions were dischargedhome. In 2007 SWH will expand our therapy program and services including newequipment and facilities.10. Due to good occupancy, SWH experienced a strong 2006 financial year. Sustainingquality services to those in need will require continued good stewardship.292Health and Welfare Agencies

Residents are now enjoying a morehomelike environment.12. The Board recognized the need for additional financial resources to support programdevelopment and benevolent care. A development department has been establishedto focus on fundraising, marketing, and public information. A capacity grantfrom the United Methodist Foundation helped make this initiative possible.13. SWH along with other providers will continue to struggle with inconsistent socialpolicy, regulations and inadequate reimbursement. In 2007 SWH received less than1% reimbursement increase for all of our programs. It is not appropriate for societyto balance the budget “on the backs” of Mission driven organizations and staff.This story is an important social justice issue.SWH is grateful for all the support we receive. Whether in prayer, financial gifts or thegift of time (volunteers), SWH is blessed.

Because of the support wereceived from United Methodist individuals and congregations in 2006, we served27,003 individuals including over 9,000 children during 2006Twenty of these families (including 36 children) were provided housing and a comprehensivearray of services within our Transitional Living Program, a program designed toenable low income, single female-headed families to achieve economic self-sufficiency.Over 26,000 people including 8,778 children were direct recipients of emergency andsupportive services through our Family Resource Center. These families received emergencyfood, clothing, information, and referral services.While their parents were either working or attending school, 45 children received safe,quality childcare in the agency’s Growing Tree Children’s Center.The growth of the UMCS programs, and the need for them has been phenomenal. In1981, the agency served just nine families at one time. In 2002, the agency served almost15,000 individuals, and in 2007, the number served is on track to reach over27,003.We accomplished all this with a small professional staff, skilled volunteers, and thefinancial support of United Methodists throughout the state of Wisconsin.

Phase 2 includes 24 apartment units set for construction in 2008 and completionin 2009. Half of the units will be designated for individuals living below 50% of theCounty Mean Income (CMI), 40% for individuals living below 60% of the CountyMean Income, and 10% open for market rate rental.The reason: 1) Many of the women who leave the Transitional Living Program ofUnited Methodist Children’s Services find that the cost of market rate housing returnsthem to poverty. Having affordable housing available for women leaving the TransitionalLiving Program removes one of the barriers to continued success beyond the program.294Health and Welfare Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journal2) The Department of Housing and Urban Developmen(HUD) has determined that MilwaukeeCounty needs 29,000 more affordable rate housing units to address currentneeds. Our project makes a very small dent in the overall number but will provide animportant option for our neighbors in Washington Park as the neighborhood goesthrough revitalization.The funding: Approximately 80% of this project will be funded with a WHEDA(Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority) tax credit grant. Thatleaves UMCS $1.2 million to raise or finance. We hope to complete the project withouttaking out any loans, so that we can return all rent money to fund our vital social serviceprogramming, rather than to pay a mortgage. Commitments of $200,000 in fundingfrom individuals, churches and foundations by August 2007 will help us avoid takingout a loan and paying interest expenses when we close on the first phase of the project.Health and Welfare Agencies295

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCANDLER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGYCandler School of Theology is grounded in the Christian faith andshaped by the Wesleyan tradition of evangelical piety, ecumenicalopenness, and social concerns. Its mission is to educate—through scholarship,teaching and service—faithful and creative leaders for thechurch’s ministries in the world. These purposes define Candler’s roleas a school of Emory University and of the United Methodist Churchand point to the unique challenges and opportunities we face in leadinga national research university in re-discovering what it might mean torelate to a major denomination.Our school, unique in its placement within a top twenty research university and its commitmentto educate pastoral and academic leadership, is poised to play an active role inthe positive transformation of the church and the world. Religion has bound and dividedcommunities since the beginning of time and now is no different. When polled abouttheir research, over three hundred Emory professors named “religion” as a theme intheir work. Ethically aware, theologically profound voices are desperately needed in oursociety, and Emory draws on its Methodist heritage and looks to Candler to bring wisdom,clarity, compassion, and tolerance to the conversation. For example, Mary ElizabethMoore, professor of religion and education, is co-chairing one of our universitystrategic initiatives, “Understanding Religions and the Human Spirit.”Candler’s faculty continues to be among the most distinctive in theological education.Forty-six members hold full-time appointments, and six hold part-time appointments.An additional fifteen serve in an adjunct capacity. Woodie White and Jack Meadorsserve as the United Methodist bishops in residence. Bishop L. Bevel Jones III remainsat Candler working with the Development Office.In our commitment to the practice of ministry, we partner with eighty churches to ensurethat ministerial preparation takes place in both the local church and on the campus.Candler’s Contextual Education program intentionally pairs a faculty member with supervisorsfrom church and community ministries so that teaching teams represent thechurch and the academy. Twenty-nine teaching supervisors support our Contextual Educationand Teaching Parish (student pastor) programs. Dr. Alice Rogers has broadenedthe Teaching Parish program, and it now includes students appointed to churches in theAlabama-West Florida, North Alabama, North Georgia, South Georgia, and SouthCarolina Annual Conferences.This year, enrollment was 510, with 396 in the Master of Divinity program, 59 in theMaster of Theological Studies program, 20 in the Master of Theology program, 9 in theDoctor of Theology program and 26 enrolled as Special, Non-Degree students. Eightythreepercent of students are enrolled full-time. The student population is 23% US ethnicminority, 10% international, and 51% women. More than 50 denominations are representedwith 56% of MDiv students being United Methodist from 34 Annual Conferences.Other denominations of the Methodist family represented at Candler include AfricanMethodist Episcopal, Free Methodist, Wesleyan Methodist and the MethodistChurch of Korea.296Schools and Other Agencies

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalGood things are happening as we develop and put into action a plan for the life-longlearning of church leaders. A group of leaders in life-long learning, including a numberof United Methodists, have given advice on enhancing our programs. Our Institute ofPreaching and Pastoral Renewal led a group to the Holy Land after having taken acourse in continuing education and funding for this program has been renewed for 2007.Information on upcoming events is available at www.candler.emory.edu.Groundbreaking on Phase I of our new building is planned for spring 2007. Our fullproject—two buildings—will provide faculty and administrative offices, state-of-the-artclassrooms, new library facilities, a teaching chapel, and space for the University’s EthicsCenter. The University plans to gather its rich religious resources within and near theCandler facilities to create a “religious complex” centered around Candler.The faculty has begun to implement an inspiring strategic plan that calls for the facilitiesnoted above, new faculty chairs, program support, and increases to our scholarshipendowment. This year, 77% of eligible students received scholarship support from Candlerwith an average scholarship covering 78% of tuition. Gifts from the MinisterialEducation Fund (MEF) have played a large role in this support. However, so muchmore still needs to be done. More than 60% of Candler’s MDiv graduates leave schoolwith educational debt. This burden undermines their effectiveness in ministry, such thatsome seek alternative employment. Your continued support, gifts, and prayers mean agreat deal as we work to provide a strong educational program as well as support for thecourageous and committed students who choose to undertake the challenge of theologicaleducation.I am honored to be Candler’s dean as of January 2007. I am deeply grateful for the leadershipof Russell Richey in the previous six years and for his help in ensuring a smoothtransition. I look forward to his continued, powerful presence at Candler as a leadingscholar of Methodism, as a teacher, and as one who makes significant contributions tothe life of the church. Thank you for your many expressions of welcome and for yoursupport of Candler. I very much look forward to getting to know you all better in themonths and years ahead.Sincerely and with thanks,Jan LoveDean and Professor of Christianity and World PoliticsCandler School of TheologySchools and Other Agencies297

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalMESSAGE OF THE LAY LEADERLAYING OUR BIBLES OPENJune 13, 2007Good Morning Bishop Lee, Steve, others on the platform, members of the Annual Conference.God is Good, All the Time; All the Time, God is Good!!I’d likes to share a story with you about John.John was an auto mechanic for 38 years when the unthinkable happened; he got wordthat his job was going to be eliminated. He was going to have to deal with finding anew job, possibly relocate his family, and possibly a longer commute. What a changethis was going to be. He hadn’t had to look for a job or apply for a new job in manyyears. With prayer and diligent work, he found another job.The first day he arrived along with his equipment, a LARGE, very large tool box, one ofthose that are on rollers and that are very heavy. As he rolled it off the moving truck,John began to tug, push, pull, he hadn’t remembered it was this heavy, tugging andpushing and pulling, the rest of his co-workers in the service area didn’t seem to noticehe was struggling, dragging inch by inch.Can any of you relate to the tugging, pulling, pushing, dragging something heavy andno one notices??Didn’t anyone see how he was struggling to get this toolbox into position? Yet no onecame to help, they had to have noticed, it had to be apparent that he was struggling?? Itwasn’t like the others didn’t understand how heavy this was; they all had these big mechanicstoolboxes too. Yet no one came to help. Not one came to help. Finally it was inplace, what a relief! Ok, now he could get the rest of his tools put in place as well.As he put the other tools he used in place, he placed an OPEN Bible on his workbench.Now he was truly “Ready for Work” ! Each day John would go to his job and well,let’s just say, they weren’t really very friendly yet. Each day John would greet his coworkersin the morning and each night before he ended his day.As his OPEN Bible lay on his workstation, he would spend time each day reading theword of God discerning what God’s plan was for his life.Sometime had passed when, one day a co-worker stopped by to talk, not about what toolto use, well at least not a mechanical tool. John just listened. A few days later anotherco-worker stopped by to talk. They started sharing about struggles they were having intheir lives, issues they were facing, and about God’s spirit. John shared how God hadtouched his life and about his deep faith. One by one, their hurts and needs came pouringout of their hearts.As I thought about John’s story, I wondered, is my Bible laying OPEN??It made me think how many of our Hearts are OPEN, how many of our Minds are open,And truly open to GODS WAY!! How many of our Bibles are lying OPEN??Speeches303

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalJohn wasn’t anticipating moving from one job to another. We have many reasons forkeeping things just the way they are…we have always done it THAT way!!! Not extremelycreative, probably one of the most often used excuses for not changing. Blankwouldn’t like that; you can fill in the blank there, or is it FEAR!!We have been invited during our time here to MOVE; Bishop Lee invited and encouragedus to MOVE, and become a MOVEMENT… reaching for HIGHER GROUND!!We have been invited to MOVE our FEET, with our new pedometers. We have beeninvited to find the spirit of God, to move towards God and to listen for his guidance.We have been invited to BREATHE and THINK clearly.The Wisconsin Annual Conference, we have been changing…our circuit Model hasbeen a place where we can build relationships with each other. We have made a differencein our communities by working together on projects like Habitat for Humanity, orUnited Methodist Children’s Services, or building new faith communities or by increasingthe communication with a collaborative effort to create a website together. TheWisconsin Annual Conference is working with Dan Dick who is leading us in our StrategicPlanning process. Many have made a difference in the lives of those who wereaffected by Katrina, and in 3 rd world countries; we touch lives in many ways I haven’tmentioned. We touch lives, could we be touching, helping, sharing the word and promiseof Jesus Christ, if we laid our Bibles OPEN?Ephesians 4:1-51.As a prisoner of the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the callingyou have received. 2.Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearingwith one another in love. 3.Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spiritthrough the bond of peace. 4.There is one body and one Spirt-just as you arecalled to one hope when you were called- 5.one Lord, one faith, one baptism;one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.I believe we are being called to lay our Bibles OPEN so we hear what God’s plan is forus, so we can MOVE into WHOLENESS, into HOLYNESS, and REACH for HIGHERGROUND!!!ONE Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God, and Father of All, who is over all andthrough all and in all!!!John didn’t just lay his Bible Open on his workbench, he read the scriptures, he openedhis heart, his mind and invited other children of God into his life. John set the table ofChrist, an open invitation, without words!!Dorthy Radley, Conference Lay Leader304Speeches

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalCABINET ADDRESS – 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCEIn 2004 the United Methodist General Conference directed the General Board of Pensionand Health Benefits to study how to best provide a health insurance plan for ourdenomination. The Board recently published its report. It states, “In order for theChurch to strengthen its ministry, health is an issue we must address now because it willimpact us all.”Some times, I personally don’t feel very healthy. I’m tired, stressed, and spiritually depleted.It’s those times when I feel like a leader on the Titanic—all I’m doing is rearrangingthe deck chairs on a ship that is going down. I’m not sure anything I do is makinga difference to encourage new faith development or to make a difference in theworld or to stop our membership lossThere are other times, though, when I have given priority to prayer and devotion, toexercise and self-care, I feel more hopeful. Keeping with the boat image, I feel asthough I’m on the Mayflower. Credit for that image goes to Diane Butler Bass who hasdone research on vital congregations. While we know the people on the Mayflower andtheir descendents failed to understand and respect those already living in this country, Istill find it a useful image. This boat is headed for a new place, sailing in waters unfamiliarto us, with the promise and hope of new life and renewal ahead. Our ship is intact.Our leaders keep calm, spend time in prayer, and provide focus, vision, and directionwhile navigating the choppy, deep sea.Yes, health is important—even our institutional health—because it affects our resolveand ability to live, give, and love . . . . beyond all expectation. This annual cabinetaddress is our opportunity to share with you the health of our Conference from our perspective.When we look at the uncharted waters of our circuit ministry plan, we see many signs ofgood health. We see signs of increasing support and accountability among clergy in thecircuits. Clergy care for each other, help each other, and share with one another. Manycircuits are finding a focus. For instance, some have begun new faith efforts, includingone that is exploring the possibility of starting a new faith community in the location ofa congregation that voted to close. One is developing a circuit-wide internet web page.Some are providing lay speakers and supervision to small churches that are without apastor. In many circuits lay people give leadership to and participation in the ministry ofthe circuit. Although Extension Ministry clergy were not originally expected to participatein their circuit, some have requested that they be included. As a result, they arenow invited to participate in circuit gatherings and explore how, together, they can complimenteach other in ministry. All of this is to help circuits live, give, and love . . .beyond all expectation.A second sign of institutional health is our financial giving. Given our conferencebudget challenges of this year, how can the cabinet say that? Well, for the 18 th straightyear, we have paid 100% of our General Church apportionments! We continue to be theonly Annual Conference that pays 1/12 of our apportionments each month. 2006marked the highest amount we have ever paid toward Special Sunday Offerings. 75% ofour congregations paid 100% of their apportionments in full and 3%, that is, 13churches, paid more than 100%. We are living, giving, and loving. . . beyond all expectation.Speeches305

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalA third sign of institutional health is our efforts to continually improve our work as aconference. One very significant example of that is our relationship with our Wisconsinhealth and welfare ministries. Over the years, these have been strained or broken or becomealmost non-existent. This year Bishop Lee and other Conference leaders had ameeting with administrators of several of our Health and Welfare ministries. As a result,we will be exploring ways to renew our historic United Methodist roots with those ministriesand to work with them to enhance our congregational ministries so that, together,we can live, give, and love. . . beyond all expectation.A second example of our improved work is our new Conference Response Team. Layand clergy have been trained to respond to and walk with a congregation that has experiencedclergy misconduct. Studies have shown that significant and very long lastingaffects—even years—occur in congregations after clergy misconduct. Our experienceaffirms that finding and the reality that congregations need help in recovering from theimpact of the broken trust of the pastor so that they can find the healing God intends andGod’s calling for them to live, give, and love. . . beyond all expectation.Another example of our efforts to improve our work as a conference involves our crosscultural/cross racial appointments. We recognize that although we have made manysuch appointments for years, we had not provided help to the congregation or pastor forbuilding a solid relationship. This year, we contracted with a counseling center in Milwaukeeand together developed a program we are calling Starting Strong, StayingStrong. Clergy and their families, Staff-Parish Relations Committees, and Congregationsmeet for training and discussion about the unique challenges of these appointmentsso that together we can live, give, and love. . . beyond all expectation.We are sailing in unfamiliar waters that are bringing us significant challenges as a Conference.One of those is the age of our clergy. As part of our preparation for the appointmentseason, in January we looked at the current age profile of our clergy. Are youready for this?PERCENTAGE OF WAC CLERGY BY AGE GROUPS5045403530252015105043.523.324.26.21.70.8 0.320-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89306Speeches

2007 Wisconsin Conference JournalEach bar represents a decade of clergy ages. Starting from the left, we see that of ourtotal 356 active local church pastors, 1.7% are in their 20’s; 6.2% are in their 30%;23.3% in their 40’s; 43.5% in their 50’s, in part due to many second career pastors whoentered ministry in their 50’s; 24.2% in their 60’s, .8% in their 70’s and .3% over 80.In the past, most clergy started as young seminary grads and served for many years. Ifthat were still true, we’d expect the bars on our left to be the tallest and gradually getshorter with each decade. By 1985 a national study of our UM pastors already showedthat only 15% of Elders were under 35 years of age. 20 years later, in 2005, thatdropped to only 5%. Today in Wisconsin, that percentage is 4.7%. So when a Staff-Parish committee asked the DS for a young, married pastor with 2.2 children, this year,we had to tell many of them that all 17 pastors under age 35 had already been appointed!Currently, 8 of our Elders serving congregations are already retired and could choose tostop serving at the end of any appointment year. At the end of this month, 18 of ourpresent local church clergy will retire. Among our continuing clergy, 55, that is, 15%,will be at or above retirement age and could retire next June. Pray with us that not all 55will retire next year!!!We thank God for clergy from other conferences, and other denominations, who want toserve in Wisconsin. Cabinet has talked with the Board of Ordained Ministry about improvingour recruitment efforts; others are addressing the high cost of seminary. LovettWeems, a UM seminary professor, in his study on clergy recruitment, said “the church’soverall health is the most important factor determining who comes into ordained ministry.”Remember, friends, clergy are called forth from our local congregations. The processof becoming clergy starts with you. That means your congregation’s health is important!Another challenge facing us in deep waters is health insurance costs. The United MethodistHealth Task Force reported that the biggest factor contributing to the high cost of aunified health insurance plan is the ill health of clergy and lay employees. A UnitedMethodist physician, quoted in a 2006 Time magazine article, said that “50 years ago,Methodist clergy were in the top five healthiest professions in America, and now theyare in the bottom five least healthy. We cannot have a healthy church if we don’t havehealthy leadership.” Fortunately, this is being addressed and is beginning to change inour conference. Thank you, Bishop Lee, for teaching about and modeling Sabbath andself-care. You have helped us in the cabinet honor the covenant we made three yearsago to hold each other accountable for Sabbath and self-care. We’ve learned it’s noteasy to do, but it can be done! Thanks to the Board of Ordained Ministry and the Boardof Pension for stressing self-care and health. We are working together to help our clergylead with vitality and joy so that we can live, give, and love. . . beyond all expectationand lead others to do likewise.We are at a critical time—an urgent time—in the life of our conference. That has ledour Bishop to ask Dan Dick from the General Board of Discipleship to lead a representativegroup through strategic planning. We have started our work; you’ll hear moreabout that as it evolves.Every moment holds limits and challenges that affect us. Every moment also holds Godand God’s potential for good. When I was going through my cancer treatment severalSpeeches307

2007 Wisconsin Conference Journalyears ago, a clergy friend reminded me of the final blessings Moses gave the people ofIsrael. Moses said, “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Chooselife so that you and your descendants may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19b). That helped mereaffirm my decision to choose life in the moments I am given.As leaders in our church, we each make decisions every moment. We can choose todayand each day whether we will be Titanic people or Mayflower people. Our commitmentto you—and we pray you’ll join us—is to choose to lead with a spirit of adventure andhope, centered on Christ and filled with grace. “Choose this day whom you will serve,as for me, I will choose the Lord.”308Speeches

I learned to advocate forwomen who were silent about their opinions and views. Here in the Hmongcommunity, culture still plays a big role in everything we do.
