Whereas those Committee members met with The Right Reverend Wilfrido Ramos Bishop of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and with members of the Companion Diocese Committee of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and had a full discussion of matters spiritual and temporal regarding a companion diocese relationship between the two Dioceses and

Whereas the aforesaid Committee members also visited parishes and schools throughout the Diocese of Ecuador Central and were warmly received throughout said Diocese and

Section B - 81

Convention Minutes continued

resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009 TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theological education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further Resolved That said funds be administered and distributed to needy seminarians through the existing Scholarship Program of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) said Society having an established record of 151 years of experience in administering scholarship grants to Episcopal seminarians and be it further Resolved That the General Convention direct SIM to report annually to the Executive Council on this work and its effectiveness in meeting the needs of the future ordained leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution

EXPLANATION The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median postgraduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic

years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

EXPLANATION God the Creator has made the universe with all its marvelous order its atoms planets galaxies and the Earth with its infinite complexity of living creatures Our Gracious God has filled all living creatures with plenteousness and generativity and has blessed human beings with the task of the stewardship of the creation upon Earth Traditional Anglicanism has observed the beauty of the Creation over the centuries by celebrating the octave of Rogation and has commended this practice in its foundational documents and continuing liturgical traditions Since 1991 many Episcopal Churches in the United States have celebrated a Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season to honor God the Creator with worship music and praise for these gifts of life This practice has spread to churches and cathedrals in the Episcopal Church and also to Australia where it has become a national religious observance In June of 2008 the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams joined ecumenical leaders in England in calling for the celebrating of a liturgical period annually in all churches of the United Kingdom to be dedicated to prayer for the protection of Creation and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles that reverse our contribution to climate change In affirming the Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season the Episcopal Church would be taking leadership in the Anglican Communion in the promotion of this important liturgical innovation

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III Canon 1 Section 2) Resolutions such as B033 and its extra-canonical restraints are non-binding resolutions are strong recommendations A recommendation that is in

Clerical Compensation Report Mr Martin Nelson Chair of the Standing Commission on Clerical Compensation reported that the objective of the commission consisting of 12 members 6 clergy and 6 lay members elected by the Diocesan Convention is to assure that all clergy are adequately and correctly compensated They monitor compliance of salary social security offset continuing education professional expenses allowance health and life insurance and housing allowance including housing equity contributions The Commission makes recommendations to the Convention on compensation matters but the Convention has the ultimate approval Mr Nelson presented the following resolutions (1) Resolved The salary grid in effect for the year 2009 shall remain unchanged for the year starting January 1 2010 Mr Nelson moved the resolution on behalf of the Commission The resolution was passed (2) Resolved That all other compensation components for 2010 remain at the 2009 levels Mr Nelson moved the resolution on behalf of the Commission The resolution was passed Mr Nelson continued that at last yearrsquos Convention Bishop Councell asked the Commission to study develop and make a sabbatical policy recommendation to the Standing Committee for full-time clergy residing in the Diocese At first the lay members were skeptical since sabbaticals

Section B - 93

Convention Minutes continued

are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request The Commission looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church and it developed a Draft Sabbatical Leave Policy for information and discussion which is contained in the Commissions written Report Document 10 that they felt is fair both to the clergy and to congregations While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit the Commission believes that the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future As this is Mr Nelsonrsquos last year on the commission he thanked all of the current members for their hard work this past year He has had the pleasure of serving with wonderful dedicated people both lay and clergy during his many years on the Commission He has enjoyed coming to this convention to see many old friends from the past He asked that you keep individuals serving on the commission in your prayers because their work is vitally important to the well-being of the diocese Budget Mr Reginald Whitman Treasurer of the Diocese referred deputies to Financials Exhibit I The Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 and Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the adoption of the Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 The motion was passed On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 The motion was passed

be developed to assist in expanding Hispanic and other cultural ministries In 2007 Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 Truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 Assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 Assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches that are bringing the Good News of Christ to their communities and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches Assistance in the amount of $318523 was granted to mission churches in 2008 The list is available in the Board of Missions Report to Convention Document 17 Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons Paul Ambos Esq Chair of the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons presented Part II of the report With the passage on second reading of the Constitutional amendment allowing for voting rights for certain clergy of other denominations to the extent provided by canon an appropriate amendment to the canons is called for Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention

action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session He explained that for priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly he moved the following Implementing Resolution II on behalf of the Committee Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

When a vacancy occurs the Standing Committee can fill the vacancy until the next Convention at which time the Convention elects a member to fill the unexpired portion of the four-year term Under Section 1 such persons are not eligible to be elected to a full term upon the expiration of the partial term Dr Sullivans proposal is to change this section to allow such persons to run The Committee recommends against such a change for the reasons set forth in our Report On behalf of Dr Sullivan Mr Ambos moved Implementing Resolution III noting that the Committee recommended that it be defeated Resolved That the fifth sentence of Section 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (added language underlined) No members elected by the Convention for a full term shall be eligible to succeed themselves

Diocesan Youth Commission Council

The Diocesan Youth Commission Council shall be entitled to seat voice and vote at Diocesan Convention The Youth Commission Council shall elect three persons who are at least 16 years of age and who are communicants in good standing of a parish within the Diocese to serve as deputies to Diocesan Convention The President and Secretary of the Youth Commission Co-Chairs of the Youth Council or the Director of Youth Ministry shall certify the election of the deputies to the Secretary of Diocesan Convention

The resolution passed Mr Ambos presented Part VI of the report Diocesan Office Manager Ann Notte had brought to the Committees attention a discrepancy between some congregations election practices and the provisions of

Section B - 104

Convention Minutes continued

Section 3 of Canon 49 which governs the election of parish officers including Deputies and Alternates to Diocesan Convention The canon requires election of officers to serve for a year following the annual meeting but some congregations have been electing Deputies and Alternates to serve for the second following Diocesan Convention The Committee drafted an amendment to legitimize such a procedure but recommended against its adoption because it is unnecessary If a congregation feels that its annual meeting is too close to the next Diocesan Convention it can change the date of its meeting Accordingly Mr Ambos moved Implementing Resolution VI Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 49 Section 3 be amended by adding the following sentence

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence a congregation whose annual meeting is held between the First Sunday in Advent and the opening of the annual meeting of the Diocesan Convention may provide by bylaw for the election at its meeting of Deputies and alternate Deputies to the second following Diocesan Convention rather than the immediately following Diocesan Convention

The resolution was defeated Mr Ambos presented Part VII of the report concerning matters carried over from prior years as to which no action was necessary Mr Ambos presented Part VIII of the report a proposal to amend the first paragraph of Constitution Article II Section 2 to return the provisions governing the vote of bishops from the Canons to the Diocesan Constitution The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote

Prior to 1996 this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

Section B - 105

Convention Minutes continued

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention The Diocese had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 the only person to whom the change had been applied was retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit Fr Sullivans proposal is contained in Document 7A Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention Mr Ambos noted that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Sylvestre Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons Accordingly on behalf of the Committee he moved Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Retired Voting Rights of Bishops Other than Diocesan

The resolution passed Mr Ambos noted that Part IX another proposal by Fr Sullivan was withdrawn and does not require action by Convention Mr Ambos presented Part X of the report Fr Sullivan had voiced procedural and substantive objections to the amendment to the Constitution that was confirmed on the first ballot today He proposes that that amended fourth paragraph of Constitution Art II sect 2 be replaced by the following language

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the

Section B - 106

Convention Minutes continued

clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

Fr Sullivans rationale for this proposal is set forth also in Document 7A The Committee has reviewed this proposal and recommends against its adoption because (a) it applies only to ELCA clergy only and not to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (b) it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time (c) it would adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) and (d) it includes a blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese in the voting-qualification Article of the Constitution rather than in the Article specifying qualifications for office for Standing Committee The Committee questions whether this last disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy Accordingly the Committee has proposed Implementing Resolution X to enact Fr Sullivans proposal which Mr Ambos moved on behalf of the Committee noting the Committees recommendation that it be defeated Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Since Document 7 had been printed when Fr Sullivan had asked that these proposals be reported out they are contained in the Committees Supplementary Report Document 7B as Parts XI and XII of the Committees report Part XI deals with limiting the amount and purposes permitted for loans made from the Capital and Revolving Fund under Canon 21 sect 2 and Part XII would add a new Canon 21 sect 5 to address defaults in loans made by any of the several diocesan loan funds covered by that Canon At this point Bishop Councell as President of Convention referred Parts XI and XII of the Supplementary Report back to the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons for further consideration to report back to the 226th Annual Convention

On November 1 2007 the Rector and Wardens of St Georgersquos Church Helmetta New Jersey advised Bishop Councell that they had voted to withdraw from the Diocese of New Jersey and The Episcopal Church On November 19 2007 Bishop Councell went to St Georgersquos and met with the Rector Wardens Vestrymen and parishioners and found that no one from the parish desired to continue a relationship with the Diocese or The Episcopal Church Since that time no services have been held nor officers elected in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey The former parish of St Georgersquos acknowledges that the parish property was held in trust for the benefit of the Diocese and The Episcopal Church Bishop Councell and the Standing Committee of the Diocese continue in conversation to determine how best all issues can be resolved pastorally recognizing and respecting the faith and rights of all concerned Canon Goldsack s Resolution was seconded and passed Bishop Councell asked the members of Convention to keep our brothers and sisters of St Georgersquos Helmetta in their prayers Crisis Ministry Bishop Councell introduced the Rev W Jarrett Kerbel Executive Director of Crisis Ministry who grew up in New Jersey in Christ Church New Brunswick His mother is Deacon Carol Kerbel He followed his motherrsquos footsteps into ordained ministry and also followed her into the position at Crisis Ministry Crisis Ministry is a ministry of Trinity Church Princeton and the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton as well as 59 other congregations in Mercer County For almost 30 years Crisis Ministry has been serving the most vulnerable in the community They are now the largest food pantry and largest homeless prevention agency in Mercer County In October 2008 the food pantry assisted 1450 families In 2008 they helped 748 families with homelessness prevention This is a tragic success A crisis that has lasted 30 years is no longer a crisis It is the world as it is Charity is a failed strategy The Gospel is lived in solidarity with the poor or it is not lived at all The job of the church is to lead the world from where it is to where it should be The Church has not done its job Father Kerbel who spends most of his time in Trenton could give a tour of all the empty buildings of the mainline denominations in Trenton These abandoned buildings represent the systematic disinvestment of the church in urban areas We have walked away from the urban world We fled and then we called those days our glory years The suburban

The Bishoprsquos Address The 225th Annual Meeting of Convention

The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey February 27 2009

My dear friends in Christ I have been to the mountain top On Monday morning November 10 2008 I arrived at Gilmanrsquos Point the second highest peak on Mt Kilimanjaro the highest mountain on the continent of Africa For a little while I stood on ldquothe roof of Africardquo Getting there wasnrsquot easy and it wasnrsquot pretty But it was glorious I made it by the grace of God in the strength of your prayers and with the help of my hiking partner Deacon Dan Fowler and our Tanzanian guides So I begin this my Sixth Address to the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey with a word of profound thanks to Bishop Romero and the diocesan Staff to the Standing Committee to all of you and to our entire community Thank you for the extraordinary privilege of a sabbatical leave from this office and ministry from mid-October through mid-January Not all of it was as demanding and dramatic as the ascent of Kilimanjaro I also beheld in awesome wonder many other glories of Godrsquos creation in the national parks in that region of Tanzania Later I walked a small section of the pilgrimage route in northern Spain known as the Camino that leads to Santiago de Compostela Hiking the Camino so late in the year proved to be more adventure than I was prepared for so I altered my plans I took the bus But in the end I found Jesus present in the Sacrament exposed in a rather plain side chapel of the Cathedral set apart from the excessive ornamentation of the shrine of St James In the stillness and silence I was blessed I returned home and enjoyed several weeks of reading reflection and rest I celebrated a Christmas with my family unlike any other Christmas in 33 years of ordained ministry Godrsquos grace worked through this sabbatical to refresh my soul renew my vocation and restore my health It was good to lay down for a time what St Paul refers to as his ldquoanxiety for all the churchesrdquo (II Cor 1128) But it is very good to be back I love Jesus I love Jersey and I love being a bishop in this Diocese this Church and Communion at this time I am back and I am stoked My feelings are captured in the words of a young African pastor who wrote ldquoI wonrsquot give up shut up let up until I have stayed up stored up prayed up paid up preached up for the cause of Christ I am a disciple of Jesus I must go till He comes give till I drop preach till all know and work till He stops me And when He comes He will have no problem recognizing mehelliprdquo That is how I intend to serve till He tells me to stop

Last Sunday we heard the story of the mountain-top experience of Peter James and John ndash known as the Transfiguration of our Lord (Mark 9 2-8 Matt 171-8 Luke 928-36) Now some New Testament commentators argue that the Transfiguration is really a resurrection account that in the course of the transmission of the Gospel migrated from the end to the middle of the story They call it a ldquomisplaced resurrection storyrdquo Whether or not that is a defensible thesis I leave to the scholars But I think itrsquos a perfectly wonderful job description for the Church ldquoJob Number One be a misplaced resurrection storyrdquo The back story is that the so-called sovereigns did their worst on Friday but on Sunday God did His best and a dead man walked out of the tomb and showed his sad weak and frightened friends that the real victory belonged to the real God ndash the God who makes everything glorious From the first light of dawn that day they were so out of their minds with love for Jesus and so stoked with fire of His love they just couldnrsquot be calmed or contained or reasoned with They were so totally in love with Jesus there was no other life to live no other sovereign to serve They had nothing to lose They had already received everything that they needed ldquoYou can have all this worldrdquo they said ldquoGive me Jesusrdquo They woke up every morning and went about living Jesusrsquo life doing Easter stuff and showing the world that He rules And when the lordlets of this world came down on Jesusrsquo friends they didnrsquot feel the nails didnrsquot even see the lions They just kept singing those Easter hymns kept on being a misplaced resurrection appearance They would not be changed There was a man living in a poor neighborhood in a city He pretty much kept to himself But everyday at 300 in the afternoon he would emerge from his apartment walk out into the street and shout ldquoJustice peace reconciliationrdquo Every day like clockwork Finally one of his neighbors got weary of it and confronted him ldquoMan you got to stop this Are you crazy Donrsquot you know you canrsquot change the worldrdquo ldquoMaybe yoursquore rightrdquo said the man ldquoMaybe I canrsquot change the world But I can keep the world from changing merdquo Can we keep the world from changing us changing the agenda of our lives ndash given to us at baptism Can we stay on the job being a misplaced resurrection appearance in the middle of this story Or will we be persuaded to tone it down give it a rest go back inside close the doors of the church and play it safe Are we afraid This is indeed a most challenging time in which you and I are called to bear witness to Christ and to lead our churches and our Diocese in Christrsquos ministry Watching the staggering economic

Section B - 117

Bishoprsquos Address continued developments over the past several months I was reminded of an essay by CS Lewis that was published during World War II and entitled ldquoLearning in Wartimerdquo In it he wrote If you have not directly lost a loved one but rather find yourself dazed shaken and fearful God is saying to you ldquoWake up to your need for me and up to what real security is No military power or technology or human factor can make you safe Only in the very center of my will is there any safety You donrsquot have the human ability to control things You need merdquo If we had foolish hopes about human culture they are now shattered If we thought we were building up a heaven on earth if we looked for something that would turn the present world from a place of pilgrimage into a permanent city satisfying the soulhellip we are disillusioned and not a moment too soon In ordinary times only the wise realize it Now the stupidest of us knows it Now we are hurting right along with the world Our people are losing jobs and savings and homes or are worried about all of that And poor and vulnerable people are even worse off Our churches schools seminaries and outreach programs are all weakened by declines in the value of their assets The neighborhoods where many of our people live and work and worship are in serious decline There is a lot of fear and a world of hurt The most natural thing in the world is to draw back and hold on to what wersquove got But I say to you today this is our moment to be that misplaced resurrection appearance We are a called people We are to walk in the light of the resurrection We know the end of this story We know that wherever the bottom is we cannot fall beyond the reach of our Lord He will raise us up He makes everything glorious That is what he does And we belong to Him So what does that make us We are the preview of coming attractions a dress rehearsal for the coming kingdom That is what we do Who we are shouts so loudly the world cannot hear what we are saying (Emerson) Biographers say that the best way to get to know ndash really know ndash their subject is to have her or his check book and appointment book So what do the budget and the business of this great Diocese of New Jersey tell us First things first We are going right onward with sacrificial giving and leadership for the wider mission of our Church The proposed budget

calls for the funding of the full asking (215) for The Episcopal Church provides 07 of our income for the Millennium Development Goals meets the full request of the Board of Missions for funding our own mission churches continues to support our Cathedral and has many other features that commend it I hope that you will adopt it It must be said however that in order to fund this budget and its outreach we propose to take a significant proportion of our audited surpluses from previous years and some accumulated earnings from one of our endowments This is a rainy day We are blessed to have these resources to help to get through this year But we need the leadership of what I will call a Task Force on Restructure to examine the options of how we shall do mission together in what most people think will be the lean years ahead I am happy to announce that Ms Kathy OrsquoHagan of St Mark and All Saintsrsquo Galloway and the Rev Jack Zamboni of St Francisrsquo Dunellen have accepted my appointment to serve as Co-Chairs of this body I will ask that they report to Diocesan Council in the fall so that their recommendations will help to shape our budgeting for 2010 and beyond Meanwhile our Staff and diocesan leaders are actively working to decrease our expenses For example this is the last Convention for which Deputies will receive materials in hard copy via surface mail All registration and pre-Convention materials will be sent electronically We are achieving savings in most every expense line in the budget Here I have the honor to recognize Reg Whitman Senior Warden of St Georgersquos-by-the-River Rumson who has just completed his first year as diocesan Treasurer What a year it has been And in case you wondered Reg is standing for election for a second term Well done faithful one and thank you on behalf of a very very grateful Diocese and Bishop Looking beyond the budget what does our diocesan program tell us about who we are Well to borrow a title from the Rev Greg Bezilla our Chaplain to Rutgers University and a leader in the movement to invite more young people to consider a vocation to ordained ministry we are a Church of passion and purpose We need both of course We see plenty of passion around us but to no apparent purpose or to purposes that are not worthy of the Gospel But in the Church we see much that is purposeful (or dutiful at least) but lacking the passion that makes the Churchrsquos mission lively and engaging

But look at whatrsquos new in New Jersey a Diocese of passion and purpose A ldquoPassion and Purposerdquo Sunday is proposed to be observed on the Third Sunday of Easter April 26 2009 On that day I urge all the clergy to offer preaching teaching testimony and theological reflection on the subject of vocation to the end that youth and young adults are invited to consider a vocation to ordained ministry and everyone is put in mind that their vocation is ldquothe place where your deep gladness and the worldrsquos deep hunger meetrdquo (Frederick Buechner Wishful Thinking A Theological ABC) Lord grant us passion and purpose A new effort to reach out to young adults is underway I know that you will join me in refusing to surrender to the notion that we simply have nothing to hold the attention of young adults from the day after their Confirmation until they are married with children Fr Bezilla and others have better ideas Support them Better yet join them Lord grant us passion and purpose What passion and purpose may be seen in the ongoing life of our Cathedral They continue to serve our Diocese with grace and strength and deep faith in the provision of our God I thank Dean Rene John for his leadership along with that of the Wardens Chapter and Staff Miracles are happening there Lord thank you for passion and purpose I call upon us to rejoice in the growth of so many other congregations across our Diocese including our ministries among Latino people and two churches that will be recognized by this meeting St Peterrsquos Igbo Church Trenton and Christ the King Willingboro We are a growing Church in many places We are trying to grow in most places

Lord thank you for passion and purpose

Someone who has helped us to grow and helped us to recruit support and retain healthy clergy leadership over the past eight and a half years is the Rev Canon Elizabeth R Geitz Canon Geitz has resigned her position effective in May in order to relocate and to explore new ministries We can all be very grateful for the countless ways she has

enriched and strengthened the ministries of this Diocese We thank you dear Elizabeth Lord thank you for her passion and purpose We have a new Companion Diocese The Rev Canon Servio Moscoso and the Companion Diocese Committee oversaw a gracious conclusion to our nine-year relationship with the Diocese of El Salvador and have helped us to enter into a new companionship with the Diocese of Ecuador Central That diocese will soon receive a new bishop to be elected by our House of Bishops next month One of the nominees is our own Canon Moscoso I ask your prayers for the Diocese facing many difficult challenges and for Servio and Angela

Lord grant them passion and purpose Among other new programs initiated in the past year are the formation of a Committee led by the Rev Dr Hugh Brown Rector of All Saintsrsquo Princeton to help our Diocese respond to the needs of the victims of genocide in Darfur a Committee led by the Rev Deacon Johnine Byrer to coordinate and expand our ministries among the incarcerated a new campus ministry at The College of New Jersey established through the efforts of the Rev Lisa Caton and a reconstituted and revitalized Stewardship Commission under the direction of Charles Perfater Treasurer of our Cathedral and Executive Coordinator of Province II Faithful financial stewardship remains a challenge for us in this Diocese I know of many faithful and effective clergy and lay leaders who are often feel profoundly discouraged that there is not more sacrificial giving of money for the mission of our churches I remind us that the tithe is the minimum standard of giving in this Church Ruth and I have been tithers for 35 years or more We have never claimed that it makes better than anyone else only that it makes us more grateful for all that we have been given by God Stewardship is all that we are and all that we have all of the time There is no spiritual renewal without a new joy in giving I challenge us all to discover the joy of sacrificial giving not because the Church has needs but because we need to give And for this dear Lord grant us passion and purpose All this and Canon Cynthia McFarland is back We give thanks for her restored health and for her renewed ministry as Communications Director I regret that this position was reduced to part-time Canon McFarland will focus on our website and electronic communications See our redesigned web page at newjerseyanglicanorg

vision They proposed that we concentrate on five initiatives one each year for five years In 2008 they promoted a variety of programs to help and inspire congregations to embrace the first initiative ldquogrowth through welcoming and inclusionrdquo This year we are being asked to focus on spiritual renewal where our vision is to ldquosee people of all ages being transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ into His discipleshelliprdquo How will you and I be transformed by grace in the year ahead If for no other reason than because this is a year that will require many difficult decisions we need to seek the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and other avenues of personal spiritual renewal Revival is not about being ldquoHappy Clappyrdquo in a shallow way and it is not at all about denial of the very real forces that affect our lives and our churches Wherever I have gone in recent years I have tried to mention John 1010 and the abundant life that Jesus points to as the very heart of His mission That is why He came But more recently I have been drawn to another text from John Listen carefully Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground dead to the world it is never any more than a grain of wheat But if it is buried it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over In the same way anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life But if you let go reckless in your love yoursquoll have it forever real and eternal John 12 24-25 in The Message by Eugene Peterson I am persuaded that we as a Church have a lot of letting go and burying to do in order to bear fruit and to come to experience the real eternal and abundant life of Jesus Christ Of course we have genuine worries about not just our diocesan assets but those of our churches particularly the smaller churches set in poorer communities One lay leader asked me just last week ldquoBishop are you going to close our churchrdquo I said ldquoNo but I promise to continue to raise these questions with every congregationrdquo For what purpose do you want to keep the church open and what are you prepared to do in order to support continuing ministry

What shall we as a Diocese do together with you to advance the mission of your church in your community Is God calling you to consolidation reconfiguration merger andor new bold creative arrangements with neighboring churches

Section B - 123

Bishoprsquos Address continued Will you consider that in order to support the mission it may be necessary to close and sell buildings and use those assets in some new ways for the sake of the Gospel I would venture to guess that as many as one-third of our congregations need to look at these and other important questions right now The financial turmoil in our nation has accelerated the urgency of these questions and added to the numbers of congregations that are vulnerable ie no longer able to afford full-time clergy leadership andor no longer able to maintain safe facilities And my friends there is no bail out in the offing But wait herersquos a glimpse of the resurrection for you This weekrsquos mail brought two letters one from the Senior Warden of Christ Church Magnolia the other from Christ Church Collingswood Each letter reports that after an extended period of shared worship program and fellowship the two Vestries voted unanimously to proceed with consolidation of these two congregations ldquoWe recognize the strength to be found in the sharing of our gifts and common liferdquo wrote one These are my heroes I thank them for their faithfulness and that of the Rev Robert J Critelli who gently guided this process Yes we can I am committed to work together with Staff with our congregational development committee and other resource persons and with all the leaders of all these churches to ask the hard questions in the light of John 1224-25 and seek outcomes like this one

My friends we are here to do the business of the Diocese of New Jersey And we will do it in good order to the best of our ability and then go home But let us recognize that the most important thing that we will do in these two days is just this to celebrate and share the abundant life of Jesus Christ For in the Eucharist we receive all the nourishment we need to live Christrsquos life together and go about changing the world for His sake No smaller plans are worthy of Him Yes we are so God-intoxicated as not to be intimidated We know that in the end Jesus wins Life wins Justice peace and reconciliation win This is the victory banquet Then we go forth to fight the battles The outcome is secure Godrsquos promises are sure and certain And when we ldquofeebly strugglerdquo there is a great cloud of witnesses cheering on us on from another shore and a greater light where the resurrection is not misplaced where sorrow and pain are no more neither sighing but only life everlasting All we go down to the dust yet

Anti-Racism Commission

Our Twenty-Year Vision for the Diocese of New Jersey (Adopted by Diocesan Council September 2001)

The Diocese of New Jersey is recognized as a part of the Body of Christ because its congregations joyfully celebrate their anti-racist multicultural embodiment of Christrsquos love The Diocese provides intentional leadership in dismantling racism in the Wider community by modeling the sharing of power and mutual respect among all people at all levels of diocesan life Its mission structures policies and practices are used to perpetuate an anti-racist identity The Diocesersquos anti-racist way of living together through its values of Justice and equality is seen as a model for change and a sign of hope The Anti-Racism Commission continues to be guided by this vision in all its organizing efforts against racism for the diocese In 2008 the Anti-Racism Commission oversaw development and activities of the Anti-Racism Team (ART) and organized anti-racism training events introductory parish and search committee training within the diocese The commission offered anti-racism training to all diocesan executive Staff as well as officials elected to diocesan council standing committee finance and budget committee and other entities the commission also organized anti-racism training which is required for clergy candidates in deacon school To date the Commission has provided a 90-minute workshop to 34 parishes and search committees The Anti-Racism Commission underwent a number of personnel changes during 2008 losing four commission members We welcomed new member replacements and one long-term member returning to the diocese and commission during the last quarter of the year In the fall of 2008 following a team and commission retreat we began a process of team restructuring with the objective of better using the skills and abilities of team members and our resources We adopted and publicized a policy strongly urging that parish search committees be scheduled for the Introductory Anti-Racism Training as soon as possible after they have been established It is also urged that the parish vestries join those trainings We were able to provide training to three search committees and one parish though we were hampered by a lack of qualified trainers for most of the year There were other

search committees to whom we were not able to provide training to due to circumstances in their search process that led to cancellation or

postponement of training We are aggressively addressing the issue of having a fully qualified cadre of multiple training teams ready for assignments in the later half of 2009 During 2008 we sponsored three multi-day workshops to train current and new team members and members of Hispanic congregations in An Introduction to Anti-Racism Analysis and Advanced Anti-Racism Training These trainings help identify candidates to serve as parish trainers who will get more in-depth experience in training platform skills and subject matter content Their preparation also involves observing and assisting in actual search or parish training sessions We discussed with Bishop Councell the concept of having core trainers a full time set of 2-3 people who would work for the diocese to provide the same kind of training we now contract for from Crossroads Subsequently the Commission formed a task force to look into grants and support from foundations for the purpose of training and employing core trainers

We also discussed issues concerning support for Black clergy serving predominantly white parishes We suggested the diocesan deployment office should organize a seminar for Black clergy with their parish vestries The deployment office should facilitate special training to bring out issues initiate a support system and then follow-up with vestries that call clergy who are not white These offerings would be supplemental to the anti-racism training parish search committees receive during their discernment and search process

During a Meeting with Bishop Romero commission members introduced three topics history and an overview of the work of the commission relationship between Black and Latino clergy and how ARC can work with Bishop Romero to accomplish his agenda During the meeting suggestions were made to aid a stronger working relationship between the Anti-Racism Commission and the Hispanic Commission and to further an agenda of cross-cultural understanding throughout the diocese Bishop Romero also encouraged our mutual support of the Cross Cultural Clergy Conference in October 2008 and participation in the newly formed Cross-Cultural Committee he chairs We agreed with his suggestions

We sponsored a presentation at Diocesan House of the documentary video ldquoDominican Identity and Migrations to Hispaniolardquo Professor Nestor Montilla and his assistant who researched and produced the

Audit Committee The Committee engaged Mercadien PC Princeton NJ to audit Diocesan financial statements for 2007 reviewed and approved drafts of such statements and authorized their publication together with the Auditorrsquos Letter The letter included the Auditorrsquos opinion that the Diocesan Statements presented fairly in all material respects the Diocesersquos financial position in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles but was qualified because of one material omission our balance sheet does not include a capitalized liability to quantify the Diocesersquos on-going obligation to pay premiums for health insurance coverage for our retired clergy Such liability cannot be calculated without an actuarial determination of the life expectancy of the insured pool The Committee has agreed to engage a professional actuary to undertake the necessary determinations The Committeersquos objective is to have such work completed no later than at the preparation of the 2009 financials so that an unqualified Auditorrsquos opinion can be achieved thereon

Mercadienrsquos engagement has been renewed for the 2008 audit

A subcommittee of the Audit Committee has been organized to develop and offer training to parishes on financial audit procedures and to support parishes in the formation and implementation of parish audit committees This development is in response to requests for assistance in this connection from attendees at the December 2007 meeting of wardens and parish treasurers so that parishes can come into compliance with National and Diocesan canons for annual financial audits Initially members of the subcommittee which is comprised of volunteers from a diversity of parishes and under the chairmanship of Robert Becker Flemington plan to contact parishes to determine how

Mission assistance In 2007 The Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board of Missions is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches who are bringing the Good News of Christ to their community and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches In support of the missionary work of some of our mission congregations the following churches received $318523 of mission assistance in 2008

RESOLUTION 2009-1

Subject 2009 General Convention Support of Seminarians

Be It Resolved That the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey join with its Deputies to General Convention in submitting the following resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009

TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theo-logical education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further

Resolved That said funds be administered and distributed to needy seminarians through the existing Scholarship Program of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) said Society having an established record of 151 years of experi-ence in administering scholarship grants to Episcopal seminarians and be it further Resolved That the General Convention direct SIM to report annually to the Executive Council on this work and its effectiveness in meeting the needs of the future ordained

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 147

Committee on Resolutions continued leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General

Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution EXPLANATION

The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median post-graduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

SUBMITTED BY The Revd Joan MP Anders Chair on behalf of the Diocese of New Jersey Deputation to General Convention Statement in Support of Resolution 2009-1 by Proposers The Episcopal Church is the only major denomination in the United States that does not have a central funding source to support seminarians in their education training and formation The Society for

TITLE Affirming the Canonical Process Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention affirm the canonical commitment to full access by members of this Church to the discernment process for any ministry lay or ordained (Canon III12ndash3) and be it further Resolved That this Convention affirm the existing canonical process for the election consents and ordination of a bishop in this Church in which the Christ-centered manner of life of candidates and later bishops-elect is tested by the theological moral and psychological concerns of this Church understanding that determination of the appropriateness of such election and subsequent consents and ordination includes concerns for the challenges such election may present to members of this church or of other churches in the Anglican Communion and be it further Resolved That this Convention continue its pledge to engage in a process of healing and reconciliation with member churches of the Anglican Communion who have declared themselves in a state of impaired communion with this Church and be it further Resolved That the content of this resolution supersede the content of Resolution B033 of the 75th General Convention

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III

Darfur Committee

The Diocese of New Jersey and Bishop Councell convened the Darfur Committee to implement resolution 2008-1 of the 2008 Diocesan Convention which charged ldquoThe Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey to join with the government of the United States the United Nations and a host of other countries organizations and individuals around the world to call and work for an end to the violence in Darfurrdquo and which called the Diocese of New Jersey to establish a committee to ldquostudy the situation in Darfur and provide information to member parishes and others about the crimes against humanity taking place there along with recommendations of actions that can be taken by parishes and individuals to bring these violations and actions to an end at the earliest possible opportunity and to provide support for Darfur refugees and other displaced personsrdquo The Committee met for the first time on February 2 and thus far consists of the following persons appointed by Bishop Councell The Rev Dr Hugh E Brown III Chair the Rev Greg Bezilla the Rev Sharon Sutton the Rev Jane Brady Mr Glendon Bell Mr Matt Bollinger and Ms Allicia Graham The committee begins it work with a desire to study deeply and prayerfully the human rights issues in Darfur and make appropriate recommendations to the diocese for faith-based advocacy from congregations and the wider Diocese and Church But we also desire that the committee address the larger issue of the spiritual foundations for human rights advocacy and how the church effectively addresses issues of social justice and peace-making Darfur which means ldquoland of the furrdquo is an arid and impoverished region of Western Sudan that has faced decades of graphic violence over land and grazing rights between mostly nomadic Arabs and farmers from

native Darfur communities Early in 2003 rebel groups began attacking government targets charging that the region had long been neglected by the Sudanese government based in Khartoum and that the government was using local Arab groups to oppress and destroy black African farmers in favor of Arab nomads

The Sudanese government responded by mobilizing ldquoself-defense militiasrdquo and refugees from Darfur have described government links to a brutal militia movement called the ldquoJanjaweedrdquo accused of trying to ldquocleanserdquo black Africans from large swathes of territory Refugees from Darfur say that following air raids by government aircraft the Janjaweed ride into villages on horses and camels slaughtering men raping women and stealing whatever they can find

The United States government has termed the government response to the Darfur rebellion as genocide even though that term can provoke debate there is no doubt that crimes against humanity have become a staple of life in Darfur and continue as we meet in Convention Millions of civilians have fled their destroyed villages the refugee problem is immense along Western Sudanrsquos borders and United Nations estimates of the dead from the Darfur War total 300000

Although Sudanrsquos President Omar Hassan al-Bashir announced a formal ldquocease-firerdquo in November of this past year and a joint African Union-UN peacekeeping mission Unamid took over in January of this past year from an African peace force the intense violence particularly directed against the civilian population of Darfur continues the International Criminal Court has indicted President Bashir on charges of genocide warm crimes and crimes against humanity

In early February at least 30000 people fled their homes in renewed fighting between the Sudanese government and rebel forces which have now splintered and number in the dozens

This is the context of the Darfur Committeersquos work We also note that violence continues in Southern Sudan as well and the Presiding Bishop has issued a statement calling attention to the atrocities committed by ldquoThe Lordrsquos Resistance Armyrdquo a Ugandan rebel group which continues to terrorize people in the region particularly Christians The Baptismal Covenant in the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States contains an often neglected promise which is a bedrock commitment of our Christian lives ldquoWe will strive for Justice and Peace among All People and respect the dignity of every human being doing so with Godrsquos helprdquo

Diocesan Investment Trust To Shareholders of the Diocesan Investment Trust From The Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust On January 22nd the Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust (DIT) met with our two investment managers Legg Mason and Bank of America to review the results for 2008 and discuss strategic directions for 2009 Financial markets around the world both fixed income and equity suffered sharply negative returns last year in almost all asset classes Investor confidence has been badly shaken by consumer credit problems that began with housing related financing and a subsequent migration to other forms of consumer lending The resulting contraction in the consumers ability or willingness to spend has had a very negative impact on almost all business activity both in the United States and elsewhere around the world Within the context of this highly uncertain environment the DIT fared reasonably well when compared to benchmarks but still had a very large negative return The DIT unit value declined a little over 29 as compared with a 37 drop in the Standard amp Poors 500 Index and much larger drops in foreign developed and developing markets Fixed income returns also suffered greatly last year with the exception of US Treasury obligations The DIT starts 2009 with about 62 of its assets in equities and the balance in fixed income assets a mix that the Trustees reaffirmed as appropriate to provide for a combination of income generation and longer term growth However the Trustees recognize that great uncertainty exists about how economic conditions will unfold in 2009 and we will be prepared to adjust the portfolio if it seems justified On that score the current dividend of 175 cents per month or $210 per year for each share now represents a current payout of very close to 6 of the 2008 yearend unit value The Trustees are reluctant at this time to reduce the dividend but we will be monitoring financial market conditions closely over the next few quarters and if further significant deterioration takes place it is likely that we will have to react

Environmental Commission

The Environmental Commission completed two environmental audits during 2008 one for St Johns Elizabeth and one for Christ Church

Environmental Commission continued Riverton Both churches had formed committees to review the recommendations and carry them forward St Johns reports that its oil budget has dramatically decreased about ten fold partially due to the new 45 degree setbacks for its buildings and partially due to moving its Sunday services to new quarters fashioned from its large Parish Hall Grants are being sought for new energy efficient refrigerators Most bulbs have been changed over to fluorescents with some electric savings although the bulbs are more expensive and will take a bit of time to earn back their cost Christ Church has not yet reported on their progress but their audit was done near the end of 2008 so will take some time to accomplish The Environmental Commission will do a site visit during 2009 to see its progress and have a walk through conducted by GreenFaith The Commission seeks to expand its audits during 2009 with a stronger budget than in 2008 as the savings anticipated for each congregation is quite sizeable and would greatly benefit both the diocese and the congregation Respectfully submitted Joe Parrish Chair

EFM Education for Ministry

The goal of Education for Ministry (EFM) is to prepare adults for Mission and Ministry in the Church While a large chunk of the four year program of study deals with the Scriptures EFM is much more than a mere Bible study it is a way of integrating faith fellowship and theological thinking with the life of the believer Such topics as Old and New Testament Worship Ethics Church History and Modern Theology are important components of the seminar meetings EFM is a program administered through the Seminary of the South in Sewanee Tennessee There are currently five seminar groups with seven mentors and forty-three students that meet in various parishes of the Diocese On April 20th a presentation on Education for Ministry was given for the Woodbury Convocation The result was the formation of a new seminar group which is being mentored by Sister Cassandra Norseworthy Other EFM seminar groups are located at Church of the Atonement Laurel Springs St Peterrsquos Medford Trinity Princeton and Christ Church Toms River

The Episcopal Church in Camden

History reveals the past and the past too often is mourned as the golden era now dead and gone The closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics perhaps unwittingly made the point that when one flame goes out the struggle begins for another flame to burst forth That struggle to bring a future from a dead flame is a lesson our Church could emulate in our cities

The ldquoGolden Agerdquo of the Episcopal Church in Camden began in the year 1830 when the first meeting of a congregation to be called St Paulrsquos was held However there was mention of the Episcopal Church as early as 1820 when on May 21st of that year Bishop Croes preached in the Academy of Camden to the ldquoEpiscopalians and others residing in that villagerdquo

Ten years after Croes characterized Camden as a village it blossomed

into a small city On March 12 1830 the first known meeting was held that led to the establishment of St Paulrsquos The City Hall was made available to this small congregation for its worship The Rt Rev George Washington Doane laid the cornerstone of the present structure on April 22 1834 and on June 1 1835 consecrated the church The influx of industrial and manufacturing businesses during the second half of the 19th century spurred growth both in both the city and the church The zenith was reached for St Paul in 1905 when it was the second largest parish in the diocese and the next thirty years or so saw St Paulrsquos continue to thrive In this lively era St Paulrsquos initially established three missions The first named St Johnrsquos was located in the lower part of the city according to the Rector of St Paulrsquos It began sometime in 1850 and 1851 as a Sunday School Mission and by 1852 was admitted into union with the Convention It grew rapidly and became with St Paulrsquos one of Camdenrsquos two strongest Episcopal Churches The second St Jamesrsquo was located in North Camden at Coopers Point while the third St Stephenrsquos was located on 11th and Cooper Streets Each of these was established as a Sunday School ministry The strategy at that time appears to have been to start Mission Sunday Schools at appropriate locations and eventually develop them into mission chapels This strategy was successful both in the city and a few decades later in the ministry to the Pines The Dean of the Burlington Convocation reported in 1892 that St James had acquired a building for services while the Bishop mentioned that the cornerstone of St Jamesrsquo Chapel was laid by the rector of St Paulrsquos in October of 1881 There is confusion regarding congregations named ldquoSt Jamesrdquo In the ldquoSt Paulrsquos Helperrdquo of November 1891 we find the following ldquoSt Jamesrsquo Chapel inherits its title from a Mission of the same name started about fifteen years ago by the Rev [T]heophilus [M]axwell Reilly a former rector of St Johnrsquos Church but at that time without charge of a parishrdquo The first services were in a private dwelling at the corner of Fourth and Vine Streets It later moved to a vacant store at Second and Main Streets The location was unsuitable and the ministry was abandoned after two or three years It appears that the St Jamesrsquo that acquired a building in 1892 is the second congregation of that name and the one St Paulrsquos Helper reports as the inheritor of the title By 1917 the St Jamesrsquo Mission ended and the property at Front and North Streets was sold In addition to these strong missions there was mention of a mission in 1841 located in North Cramer Hill

In 1886 the rector of St Paulrsquos mentioned two new works or missions

Historiographer continued St Wilfrid Mission Chapel of Cramer Hill and St Paul Mission Chapel location not given St Wilfrid Chapel was less than a year old and in September of 1885 Bishop Scarborough held the first service there By 1887 St Wilfridrsquos was no longer connected with St Paulrsquos Parish but the latter had opened a new mission somewhere in North Camden Bishop Scarboroughrsquos report to the Convention of 1897 told of a recently erected substantial stone Church a mission of St Paulrsquos now called St Stephenrsquos It too grew steadily and by 1907 reported 152 families and parts of families However by 1926 at a Parish meeting the church voted to close and sell its property and the 1927 Convention declared it to be extinct There was a conflict between the Diocese and St Paulrsquos as to the ownership of the property Evidently it took some years to straighten out the problem but St Stephenrsquos was once again declared extinct by the 1947 Convention Funds from the sale of St Stephenrsquos were still in the hands of the Trustees of Church Property There were really two attempts to start St Stephenrsquos The November 1891 edition of St Paulrsquos Helper quoted above also reports the start of a St Paulrsquos Mission Sunday-school in 1866 by the Rev TM Reilly with the assistance of two members of St Johnrsquos Divinity School on South Broadway The Sunday-school started in a dilapidated building at the eastern end of Cooper Street It later moved to Cooper Street above 11th where the stone chapel began St Johnrsquos too was active in spreading the Gospel By 1871 a mission was mentioned in the Stockton area to be known as the Church of Our Saviour and in the appendix to his address of 1872 Bishop Odenheimer reported consent given to the formation of a new parish in Camden called Christ Church The rector in his 1886 report to Convention mentioned four ldquobranch Sunday Schoolsrdquo in outlying districts of Camden that contributed 400 scholars to the 200 at St Johnrsquos The only one identified was St Barnabas Sunday School that was meeting in a frame building The work here began in September of 1885 and met in the old ldquoMyrtle Club Houserdquo located on the southwest corner of Second and Clinton Streets (3rd Ward) The following December a temporary frame building was built on four lots totaling 80rsquo by 105rsquo on Washington Street west of Third and one month later January 31886 Sunday Services were begun there The lots cost $3200 $1200 of which was donated by the rector and the building cost $1050 $600 of which also was donated by the rector In 1891 the daily Eucharist was instituted

and the mission placed under the jurisdiction of St Andrewrsquos Church Records in the Diocesan Archives show that St Barnabas apparently was absorbed by St Andrewrsquos sometime in 1895 St Andrewrsquos Sunday school in the 5th Ward was located at 233 Kaighn Avenue starting in September of 1885 So rapid was the growth that in a few weeks it was necessary to rent the 3rd floor at 249 Kaighn Avenue (Gourrsquos Hall) A year later a structure was erected on Third Street below Kaighn Avenue and was first occupied about November 1 1886 Sunday Services began in January of 1887 On May 1 1889 St Andrewrsquos became an independent parish The brief history of the St Andrewrsquos found in the Bicentennial History of our Diocese Forward With Christrdquo (1885) clearly indicates that todayrsquos congregation was not a continuance of a previous St Andrewrsquos but apparently was unaware of its existence It is interesting to note that both St Stephenrsquos and St Andrewrsquos existed and were named after previously failed congregations In the same year plus a month after the start of both Barnabas and Andrew October of 1885 St Agnesrsquo Sunday school began at 318 Spruce Street but soon moved to 239 Pine Street Lay readers met the needs of this Sunday school that was seen as an extension of the St Johnrsquos Sunday school In the 7th Ward in the month of October 1885 St Maryrsquos Sunday school began operation at 714 Spruce Street and shortly later moved to 619 Spruce Street Due to a lack of proper quarters the ministry ended on October 18 1891 The last outreach of venerable St Johnrsquos was that of St Augustine It was formed about June 1 1888 and located at 744 Chestnut Street a former school house Although Sunday afternoon services were begun that August Morning and Evenings Services and an afternoon Sunday school began in earnest about June 1 1889 The cornerstone was laid at the corner of Ninth and Sycamore Streets on August 7 1899 The expansion of Highway I-676 caused the temporary merger with St Johnrsquos and shortly after St Augustine purchased the property of St Johnrsquos and became sole occupants of that old and venerable building One of the lessons taught by the history of the Church in Camden is that small beginnings often lead to large results The use of empty buildings for Sunday schools allowed the sponsoring congregations to spend their money on program and not on buildings In addition the strong emphasis on Sunday schooling at times led to the establishment of congregations

as the adults followed the children This lesson learned over a century ago just may be a lesson whose time has come again The Sunday schools of the 19th century were invariably formed and led by lay people another lesson that stands repeating Hopefully another ldquoGolden Agerdquo for the Episcopal Church in Camden is on the near horizon

Insurance Committee

The Insurance Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey met twice during 2008 At its September meeting the Committee voted to accept the following three renewals for the calendar year 2009 1) Life insurance through the Church Medical Trust with no rate change over 2008 2) Medical Insurance - a choice of six plans through the Church Medical Trust with an 8 rate increase for all plans except the CIGNA Pos plan for which there was a 3 decrease from 2008 rates and 3) Dental Insurance through Delta Dental with no rate change over 2008 Two other decisions of note were made by the committee The committee voted to continue in-force the Standard Prescription drug plan coverage offered by the Church Medical Trust The decision not to change to the Premium Plan was based on the fact that currently 85 of Medical Trust participants have the Standard Plan and that switching to the Premium Plan would involve an additional cost of $10single and $23family per month The committee also voted to continue the Delta Dental Plan for 2009 instead of changing to that offered by the Church Medical Trust even though billing would be simplified by having all three insurance plans (life medical and dental) billed through the Church Medical Trust The reason for not changing at this time was the additional cost of the Church Medical Trust=s PPO plan with Orthodontia which the committee felt would be an unwelcome burden for many smaller parishes and the fact that the Church Medical Trust plan has a smaller provider network than the Delta plan The committee agreed that an actuarial study of deferred benefit obligations relating to health insurance for retired clergy and their widows was not the responsibility of the Insurance Committee

Loan and Grant Committee

The Loan and Grant Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey functions under Canons 20 and 21 of our Diocese It members are appointed annually by our Bishop The Committeersquos mission is to empower the congregations of our Diocese to undertake with the help of loans or grants building replacement or repair projects which they would not be able to undertake on their own Loans may be recommended by the Committee subject to the approval of Diocesan Council which serves as the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the Capital and Revolving Loan Fund and the R Bowden Shepherd Loan Fund Applicant churches must fill out the two page application form and include all the extra documents specified on the form which is available from the Finance Office at Diocesan House and include the plan for repayment of any loan Grants may be considered only for Mission churches which must also submit the application form and satisfactory supporting documents Once an application for a grant is deemed to be complete by the Loan amp Grant Committee (which is not the same thing as being approved) the application is forwarded to the Board of Missions for its consideration As part of its evaluation of the grant request the Board of Missions evaluates the stewardship and evangelism activities and plans of the applicant mission church If the Board of Missions endorses the grant application it is then considered by the Loan and Grant Committee If

the grant application is endorsed by the Loan and Grant Committee it then goes to Diocesan Council for its consideration Any grants are made only from the Capital and Revolving Fund (Canon 21 Section 2) ldquono grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Conventionrdquo Loan applications from mission churches must also have been endorsed by the Board of Missions before being considered by the Loan and Grant Committee Applicant churches whether Missions or Independent Parishes are advised to recognize the time involved in this process and to read the application and need for supporting documents carefully and preferably to consult with the Chair of the Loan amp Grant Committee before proceeding Typically a capital campaign is needed to underwrite a loan so a church seeking a loan is advised to consult both with the Chair of this Committee and with the Stewardship Committee of our Diocese and with the Committee on Church Architecture (if appropriate) Loans from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund are by canon set at 5 and are only given to ldquomissions and assisted parishesrdquo Loans from the Capital amp Revolving Fund are interest free by canon and are available by canon to ldquoparishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jerseyrdquo It has been the policy of the Loan and Grant Committee in recent years to give such interest-free loans from this Fund to parishes only as bridge loans in the case of applicant parishes which would be waiting to receive reimbursement from the New Jersey Historic Trust (which requires recipients to pay contractors submit receipted bills and wait for State reimbursement) The Committee has had a satisfactory recent experience with a one year ldquoballoon noterdquo to Christ Church Middletown for this purpose (which was repaid in a very timely manner) and authorized another such loan in 2008 (as noted below) In recent years the Committee has only made loans to missions from the Capital amp Revolving Fund as a ldquoblended loanrdquo with half of the principal coming from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund for a blended rate of 2 frac12 which means that mission churches with loans would always get a lower interest rate than Independent Parishes This has been a successful approach Loans from the Venture in Mission Fund are for Independent Parishes The interest rate must range between 4 and 12 (in accordance with canon) and is set by Diocesan Council upon the recommendation of the Loan and Grant Committee The current rate for new loans is 5

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 178

Loan and Grant Committee continued

Payments on loans are usually made monthly and for a total amount and length of time as set by the Committee The Committee always reserves the right to reject loan or grant applications The Committee meets on demand and preferably at the applicant church so as to see the project under consideration The Chair calls the applicant church to discern possible meeting times and then sets the day and time so as to ensure the greatest possible attendance by members of the Committee (In the interests of time more than one application may be considered at a meeting so it is not always the case that the Committee sees every proposal in person though that is ideal) In all cases principal and interest payments on loans go back into the respective fund(s) from which the loans were drawn thus making possible future loans for churches In addition income from the balances not currently loaned out within each fund are reinvested in the respective fund Several years ago the Committee realized that many missions are unable to afford to take out loans (especially those which are already having their operating budgets subsidized) but that they may have property repairreplacement needs which could be addressed by the ability of the Committee to recommend grants for capital purposes The Committee felt that this is especially appropriate since all buildings of mission churches are diocesan properties and our Diocese has a responsibility for their care The Committee therefore began considering grant applications under the process outlined above The Committee increasingly realized that some of the applications involved ldquoemergenciesrdquo which could have been anticipated had a systematic review of the properties been undertaken and the Committee also became concerned about how many potentially hazardous situations might exist in buildings of mission churches without the diocesan office (and perhaps the priest and people of the churches) being aware of them (I myself once lived in a vicarage which had a dangerously substandard wiring which no one knew about until the church hired an electrical inspector at my urging) The Committee then started to require that any mission church receiving a grant have a full professional inspection of its buildings (paid for by a small grant from the Capital and Revolving Fund) before the actual work for the grant be done In one case this resulted in the discovery of a carbon monoxide leak in a building if that buildingrsquos window door and insulation leaks been remedied before the carbon monoxide was checked the results could have been lethal

Loan and Grant Committee continued The Committee then proposed to Diocesan Council that there be full professional inspections of all the buildings of mission churches the expenses (which have ranged anywhere from about $500 to about $3600 and typically have been $1-2000) to be covered by small grants from the Capital and Revolving Fund The Committee assured Council that there was plenty of money in the Capital and Revolving Fund to pay for such inspections given that mission churches rarely are able to afford to take out loans the Fund has typically been less than half loaned out and that seemed unlikely to change The Committee also urged Council approval of this project because all of these buildings are owned by our Diocese and as such our Diocese has both a moral and a legal obligation to attend to matters of safety and care of the people and clergy of these churches which by definition have more limited financial resources than most Independent Parishes A systematic inspection program would also mean that all needs would be examined and considered at once instead of just those churches most aware of the diocesan processes or those with the most obvious problems being served first The Committee proposed and Council adopted a plan whereby small grants for the inspections would be ldquofast-trackedrdquo instead of each grant needing Council approval (as is otherwise always the case) the program was approved and the Board of Missions and diocesan Staff could work with the congregations and professional building inspectors to implement the program and the Committee would reimburse the costs of the inspections While there have been a few urgent grant requests approved while this program was underway the over-all intention was to have all of the mission churchesrsquo buildings inspected the reports analyzed and a systematic and strategic response developed to the needs which would then be evident This has now begun on January 21 2009 Lee Powers Canon to the Ordinary and Deborah Crall Assistant to the Canon to the Ordinary submitted a substantial report to the Trustees of Church properties with summaries of the inspection reports from our mission churches The Loan and Grant Committee thanks them both for their diligent and detailed work and looks forward to doing what the Committee can to help once the results are analyzed and a plan developed Especially in this year of severely stretched parochial and diocesan financial resources due to the severe recession it is crucial that the funds overseen by the Loan amp Grant Committee be available to respond to urgent safety-related repairs and other needs of our mission churches through the grants program from the Capital amp Revolving Fund

On June 12 the Committee endorsed a bridge loan for one year at no interest from the Capital amp Revolving Fund of up to $150000 to St Stephenrsquos Church Beverly due one year from the date of draw down contingent on St Stephenrsquos receiving the matching grant from the New Jersey Historic Trust for which it was applying and on the bond for financial officers of the parish be raised by $150000 before the loan is drawn down It is anticipated that this loan would be drawn down in 2009

At the same meeting the Committee endorsed a grant of $6800 for emergency repairs to the steps and landing outside one of the exit doors to St Albanrsquos New Brunswick

The problem was in the professional inspectorrsquos report on the building In the light of the then-impending leadership transition at the church the Committee endorsed having the Diocese contract directly with the contractor The grant to this mission church had been previously endorsed by the Board of Missions

At the same meeting the Committee voted to have ldquothe three most recent Parochial Reportsrdquo replace ldquothe most recent Church Report datardquo on its application form (since our Diocese no longer subscribes to the Church Report data) and add to the requirements listed on its application form that ldquotreasurers of all congregations must be bonded for the full financial assets of the applicant church including any proposed loansrdquo The Committee also heard an update on the church inspections program and on the status of loans including two that were seriously in arrears

The reliance of the Diocesan House Staff for data and information from the archives has grown tremendously It has included lengthy and detailed informational reports on various parishes data from census reports and projections over the next two decades Research requests have increased greatly as Staff members find a need to find information on various committees and funds

Many of our publications can be found on the Diocesan Website under Archives Cynthia McFarland Canon for Communications has been of invaluable assistance and we are grateful for her dedication to the archives Janice M Gay of Williamsburg Virginia donated original sermons of the Rev Thomas Tanser an important 19th century New Jersey cleric Such donationsgifts are enormously important for the health of your Archives Your archives suffers from insufficient funding especially in the area of the purchase of books pamphlets and paper ephemera that comes on the auction market for a short time and is part and parcel of our diocesan history We are collecting the writings of clergylaity who have been influential in our diocese and this requires additional funding The archives would be enormously grateful for contributions that would allow us to make the occasional purchase that becomes available I wish to thank Deacon Mary Ann Jensen Paula Morgan and Carol Bishop for their untiring efforts to make your history available to this and future generations In addition I wish to thank Bishop Councell and the various Staff members for their support and encouragement (The Rev Canon) Laurence D Fish Registrar

The Canons of the Diocese direct the Commission to submit a report to the Convention each year on compliance with all compensation guidelines The report on clerical compensation is due in the Diocese by March 1st of each year We sincerely thank the parishes who send their reports on time but there are a number of parishes that are consistently late It is a time consuming and unnecessary process for Commission members to contact delinquent parishes Any church having trouble completing the forms should contact a Commission member The number of churches returning their compensation reports is dropping We have no way of knowing if this means more and more churches are no longer paying their clergy the canonical minimums or if they think that completing the forms take too much time In any case it is a bad sign I do want to thank St Johnrsquos Little Silver for being the first to return their 2009 report At last yearrsquos convention Bishop Councell asked the Commission to study develop and make a sabbatical policy recommendation to the Standing Committee for full-time clergy residing in the Diocese At first the lay members were skeptical since sabbaticals are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request In our deliberations we looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church We feel our draft policy is fair both to the clergy and to congregations (see the attached draft policy) While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit we believe the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future This is my last year serving on the Commission I want to thank all of the current members for their hard work this past year I have had the

Introduction

In addition to matters carried over from last year the Committee reviewed requests for changes in the constitution and canons of the diocese Proposals affecting voting rights in Convention are presented first If passed they will go into effect immediately enabling those affected to vote at this Convention

Part I Constitution Article II Section 2

Diocesan Convention 2008 passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Amendments to the diocesan Constitution are governed by Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution

Any proposed amendment to this Constitution which may be approved by a majority vote at any meeting of the Convention shall lay over to the next annual meeting It shall then be acted upon and if approved by a Vote by Orders shall become a part of this Constitution As explained in last years Report Episcopal Church Canons provide in Canon III102 for either occasional or extended service in Episcopal congregations with the approval of the diocesan bishop by clergypersons who have been ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church In addition to ELCA clergy the canons list of such churches includes the dioceses and provinces in communion with the See of Canterbury the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar If this proposed constitutional amendment is approved at this meeting the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons will propose the canonical amendment in Part II of this Report in order to implement the change in voting rights It should be noted that the Revd Elmer L Sullivan has submitted to the Committee a proposal to amend the Diocesan Constitution as regarding voting rights of ELCA clergy (but not of clergy of other churches in communion with TEC) who may be serving Episcopal congregations in the diocese which proposal is included in Part X of this Report Whether or not the implementing resolution of this Part I is passed Fr Sullivans proposal can be considered independently thereafter The Committee therefore moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution I Resolved That the new fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey as authorized by the 224th Convention of the Diocese be approved by this 225th Convention The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Part II

Canon 2 Section 1 Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention Should any dispute arise as to the status of any member of the clergy it shall be referred to a special committee appointed by the President which shall report on each case immediately and the action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session If the Part I proposed amendment to the Constitution is approved at this convention a canonical amendment will be necessary in order to implement voting rights for members of the clergy serving in the diocese who are ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Episcopal Church Canon III102 sets forth generally the requirements to be met before an Episcopal bishop can certify a priest or deacon from such a church to officiate occasionally or for an extended period of time in an Episcopal congregation as well as requirements for reception into The Episcopal Church The Principles for the Orderly Exchange of Pastors and Priests issued by the Episcopal Church Office for Ministry Development with respect to clergy ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America notes that in order to serve as rector of an Episcopal parish an ELCA priest must first be received into TEC thus relinquishing membership in the ELCA and becoming canonically resident in the Diocese Such reception is not necessary however for a clergyperson to serve an Episcopal congregation as vicar curate on-going supply pastor interim assistant or pastor-in-charge for a specified term under a contractual arrangement It is in these capacities then that an ELCA clergyperson or a clergyperson from another church in communion with TEC might possibly be given voting rights

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 213

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued For priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly if the resolution in Part I of this report is passed the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution II Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Part III

Constitution Article VII Section 1 Dr Jim Sullivan has proposed the lifting of a restriction on reelection to the Standing Committee by those members elected to fill a partial term Article VII Section 1 of the Constitution provides in pertinent part

the successors of those whose terms expire as aforesaid shall be elected for a term of four years No members elected by the Convention shall be eligible to succeed themselves

Section 3 of the same Article provides

The Standing Committee shall have power to fill vacancies which may occur in their own body or in any body elected or appointed by

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 214

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Convention until the next annual meeting of Convention unless otherwise provided for by articles of this Constitution Canons adopted thereunder or special acts taken by Convention When a vacancy occurs the Standing Committee can fill the vacancy until the next Convention at which time the Convention elects a member to fill the unexpired portion of the four-year term Under Section 1 such persons are not eligible to be elected to a full term upon the expiration of the partial term This limitation does not exist for the Diocesan Council Canon 19 Section 2(a) provides in pertinent part

Members elected by the Convention for a full term shall not be eligible to succeed themselves Vacancies among the members elected by the Convention created by death resignation removal incapacity deposition ordination of a lay member or removal from the Diocese may be filled by the Council until the next annual meeting of the Convention Thus members of Diocesan Council completing a partial term are eligible for election to a full term Dr Sullivan proposes that this rule be extended to the Standing Committee as well The Committee recommends against such a change The Standing Committee is a much smaller body than Diocesan Council eight members as opposed to eighteen voting members plus bishops and nonvoting members and its members serve for terms of four years rather than three Giving any one member of the Standing Committee the possibility of extended tenure beyond four years opens the possibility of undue influence on the other members In addition since the primary purpose of Standing Committees is to serve as a council of advice to the Bishop we feel that adding a fresh voice every year is better for diocesan administration To implement Dr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution III Resolved That the fifth sentence of Sec-tion 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (added language underlined) No members elected by the Convention for a full term shall be eligible to succeed themselves

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 215

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends against the adoption of this implementing resolution

Part IV

References to The Episcopal Church Numerous references are made in our diocesan canons to the national Episcopal Church or to national Canons Chancellor John Wood Goldsack has objected to such terminology on grounds that The Episcopal Church is a province not limited to the geographic territory of the United States of America but includes Haiti the Convocation of American Churches in Europe Taiwan and dioceses in Ecuador Honduras Colombia Venezuela and the Dominican Republic He has requested that such canonical references be amended to refer simply to The Episcopal Church The Committee has no objection to such amendments and accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution IV Resolved That the following Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline) Canon 14 Section 1 second sentence The purpose of the Budget is to enable the Diocese to carry on ministries provide support to the Diocesan Congregations meet its obligation to the national The Episcopal Church and finance its administration Canon 16 Section 1(a) A tithe which shall be ten percent of each Diocesan Congregations Income Base shall be requested to support the basic obligations of the Diocese which shall include the cost of supporting the Bishop the diocesan staff and facilities legal and insurance requirements direct support payments to mission congre-gations funding for social and ethnic ministries gatherings in the Diocese and of the church and an amount equal to a tithe of total Fair Share Pledges to the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (the National The Episcopal Church) Each Diocesan Congregation shall pay its tithe unless for good cause prevented Canon 16 Section 1(b) second sentence Such mission and ministry shall include all programmatic activities and ministries that are not included in Section 1(a) support for the development of clergy the amount by which the asking from the national church The Episcopal

Convention SECTION 3 At said annual meeting the qualified voters shall elect by ballot by a majority of the votes cast to serve for the ensuing year from among the voters in the Parish three Deputies and three alternate Deputies to the Diocesan Convention and a Warden or Wardens who shall all be communicants in good standing and also such other Members of the Vestry and other officers as may be provided for by the Charter of the Parish who shall be communicants if such suitable for the office can be found The date of the annual meeting of congregations is generally set by their incorporation papers Some colonial parishes had charters providing for a meeting during Easter week During much of the twentieth century New Jersey statute required the meeting date to be during the first week of Advent And some parishes have meetings as late as February Some of those congregations holding elections just before Diocesan Convention have adopted a practice of electing Deputies and Alternates for the next following Convention so that the meeting of February 2008 elected Deputies and Alternates for the present Convention held February 27-28 2009 While this practice allows parish representatives to receive preconvention mailings which begin in August and to partici-pate in preconvention meetings which this year start on February 3 it is contrary to the terms of the canons requirement of election to serve for the ensuing year Annual meetings of congregations serve other purposes than the election of Convention Deputies Often congregations are informed of parish finances including past results and future budgets and these kinds of information are generally not available until around the end of the calendar year While it makes some sense to allow for advance election of the congregations election of its representatives to Convention in a manner allowing them to participate in the nomination process and other preconvention activities the Committee believes that the current mailings to Deputy 1 etc at the churchs address is sufficient to inform deputies once elected and that changing the current system to allow advance election would introduce too much variation in election practice that could lead to further administrative confusion If a particular congregation feels prejudiced by holding its annual meeting in February it can change the date by amending its certificate of incorporation The Committee therefore moves the following resolution

Constitution Article II Section 2 First Paragraph The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote He notes that no canon has been adopted since this constitutional text came into effect that gives seat and vote to Bishops Suffragan or Coadjutor and proposes that their right to vote be placed in the Constitution Prior to 1996 however this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention Prior to that change retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit was given seat and vote by acclamation at the opening of each Convention The Diocese of New Jersey has had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention The Committee notes that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons The Committee accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Part X Constitution Article II Section 2 Paragraph 4

As noted in Part I of this Report last years Convention passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon Fr Elmer L Sullivan has found this language possibly confusing and has voiced to the Committee objections as to its approval at last years Convention and he has proposed an alternate constitutional amendment to deal with voting rights of ELCA clergy also to be inserted as (or replace if Part I of this Report is implemented) the fourth paragraph of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that it is inadequate for several reasons First of all it is limited in scope to ELCA clergy only and does not apply to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (noted in Part I) Secondly it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time This is inconsistent with the fully interchangeable status of clergy entailed by the Concordat as adopted by TEC and under the regulations set forth in TEC Canons Thirdly it

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 222

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

proposes to adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) Finally it includes a purported blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese (Article VII of the Constitution provides that clerical members [of the Standing Committee] must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention) It is poor drafting to place a specific disqualification from an office in a separate article from the general qualification for that office It is questionable whether such a disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy If Convention so decides however the Committee feels that such qualifications as pertain to eligibility for election to the Standing Committee be placed in Article VII of the Constitution rather than in Article II Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolu tion X Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends against the adoption of this implementing resolution

Conclusion The Committee has received no further proposals for consideration this year other than two timely proposals as to which the proposer needs to consult other bodies and which may if not withdrawn be contained in a Supplemental Report of this Committee The Committee reminds members of Convention that proposals for amendments to the

Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

Submitted by The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

Statement by the Proposer The first sentence of Article II Section 2 as it now stands is printed below The Bishop and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote It provides for the Bishop of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention and permits other bishops to have a seat and vote only to the extent provided by canon The only other bishops to whom this would apply are bishops coadjutor and bishops suffragan Oddly there is no canon at present that provides seats and votes to such bishops They used to be included in Article II but they were removed from it in 1995 and no canon has been adopted to fill the gap

Perhaps the reason for this neglect is that the Diocese has not had a bishop suffragan or a bishop coadjutor in the interim However this omission should be corrected and the best time to do it is when no election is in the offing

Bishops suffragan and coadjutor should certainly have a seat and vote in the Convention and they hold leadership positions of such importance

that it is appropriate to provide for this in the Constitution Therefore it is proposed that the first sentence of Article II Section 2 be amended by substitution as follows

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there Be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any shall each have a seat and vote

A Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution Submitted by

The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

It is proposed that Article II Section 2 of the Constitution be amended by adding a new fourth sentence as follows (replacing the fourth sentence now printed there in italic) The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

Statement by the Proposer The purpose of this amendment is to provide in a Simple and direct way for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) who serve a congregation of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention The means employed is the list of voting clergy drawn up by the Bishop in accordance with Canon 2

You will notice that this status is conferred at the discretion of the Bishop Different dioceses and different bishops have different opinions on this subject It is a point on which reasonable people can and do differ and it is a matter with many facets still unsettled Our present Bishop favors it Thus the proposed amendment is drafted in such a way that the he will be able to administer the legislation at his discretion whatever the future may bring You will also notice that the proposed amendment specifies that ELCA clergy are not eligible to serve on the Standing Committee Without such a provision they would be eligible because the only qualification for clerical members of the Standing Committee set forth in Article VII of the

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 225

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment Constitution is that they must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention Because this is part of the Constitution only another part of the Constitution can countermand it Such a safeguard is important because the Standing Committee can under some Circumstances become the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese Moreover because canonical residency is a requirement for holding most other offices in the Diocese it seems inconsistent to permit ELCA clergy (who cannot be canonically resident) to serve on the Standing Committee when they are not eligible for most other offices

The 2008 Amendment Should Be Abandoned This proposed amendment is intended to replace an amendment adopted on first reading at the 2008 Convention Both the content of the 2008 amendment and the process by which it was adopted were seriously flawed and for that reason it should be abandoned Discussion of that point follows below

The Wording of the 2008 Amendment is Too Broad

The impetus for legislation on this subject is the Concordat agreed to by The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the ELCA and the presence of ELCA clergy serving congregations in the Diocese There is no need to make this legislation so broad that it includes clergy of the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar (as the 2008 amendment does) We do not have a Concordat with these Churches nor do their clergy serve congregations In our Diocese nor Is this likely to happen As for clergy of other provinces of the Anglican Communion extensive Provision is made for them to be received into our Church in TEC Canons Title III Canon 10 Sections 1 and 2 There is no need for local canons on this subject nor is there any need for the 2008 amendment to be worded so broadly as to include all [m]embers of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Moreover the canonical amendment proposed by the Committee on Constitution and Canons limits the scope of the legislation to clergy who are serving as vicars within the Diocese However when you consider the fact that Episcopal Church Canons specifically prohibit clergy of other Anglican provinces to take charge of any congregation unless they present Letters Dimissory and become canonically resident it becomes apparent that such clergy must come in through the canonical residency

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 226

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment door and that the attempt of the Committee to include them in a different way is pointless

The Process Was Seriously Flawed At the 2008 Convention the Committee on Constitution and Canons proposed the following amendment of Article II Section 2 and it was represented as being a proposal of the Committee Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

This version of the proposed amendment was reckless because it opened the door for future action that would make hundreds of clergy around the world eligible to have a seat and vote in our Diocesan Convention - an idea that is unsound to say the least This fault was noted by a member of the Convention who offered from the floor an amendment by substitution that narrowed the scope of the proposal to clergy who are serving parishes in this Diocese at least half time with the consent of the bishop (sic) Another amendment by substitution was then offered by a member of the Committee on Constitution and Canons who advised [that it] had been previously approved by members of the Committee In the midst of this confusion the Convention adopted the substitute amendment of the substitute amendment Its text appears below Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Conclusion

The simple fact is that whether clergy vote or not depends on whether they are canonically resident or not Period How when why and by whom members of the clergy were ordained has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not they vote It is pointless and confusing to introduce that topic into legislation about clergy voting ELCA clergy serving in the Diocese are the only exception and it is an exception Voting rights extended to them are based not on canonical residency but on the

Introduction

In addition to other matters contained in the Committees main Report for 2009 Document 7 there were timely submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Those proposals are now contained in this Supplemental Report

Part XI Canon 21 Section 2

Fr Sullivan has proposed three amendments to Canon 21 which governs several diocesan loan funds These are set forth in Parts XI and XII of this report Section 2 of Canon 21 governs the Capital and Revolving Fund

SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated bequeathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Con-vention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by

resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually His first proposal is to add language to the fifth sentence as follows

No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention His concern is to avoid depleting the capital of the Fund due to grants made in excess of the Funds income Year Income Grants Made Assets as of Jan 1 2004 2277 31295 572417 2005 8604 11555 541256 2006 15881 20000 538305 2007 11402 45615 534987 2008 4359 32412 500174 Assets as of June 30 2008 471946 2008 figures are for the first six months of the year only Limiting annual grants to $10000 unless Convention otherwise specifically directs argues Fr Sullivan will help to stabilize the Fund and protect its capital for future years His second proposal is to amend the third sentence of the section as follows

The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention Again the object is to limit grants to capital improvements consistent with the name of the Fund and not to support operating budgets of congregations

The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that

the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of this Fund by limiting its scope If the Trustees believe that loans in excess of these guidelines are warranted in specific cases either as to amount or as to purposes it is always within their discretion to apply to the Convention for permission to make such loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XI Resolved That Section 2 of Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (insertions shown by underline) SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated be-queathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Convention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually

Loans in Default

SECTION 5 When any church or other entity that has borrowed funds in accordance with the provisions of this Canon shall fall behind in its repayment obligation the Diocesan Council may renegotiate the terms of the loan but any such renegotiation must remain within the limitations prescribed in this Canon When a loan has been delinquent for five years it shall be deemed to be in default provided however that the Diocesan Council may acting in its discretion declare a delinquent borrower to be in default before the end of such five-year period When a loan is in default the principal and interest due to the issuing loan fund shall be repaid (a) from the assets of the borrower or (b) from properly approved appropriations from the income or appropriate loan funds of the Diocese or (c) from moneys allocated in the operating budget of the Diocese or (d) some combination of the foregoing sources as may be approved by Diocesan Council

The problem of defaulted loans has become quite serious The Auditors report for fiscal year 2007 refers to delinquent loans as doubtful accounts and sets the then amount thereof at $250203 In some cases no payment has been made by the borrowers for more than five years The proposal supplies authorization for the Diocesan Council as trustees of these funds to pursue methods of recovering capital trust assets that are now in jeopardy and possibly avoid such problems in the future The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of the Diocesan Trust Funds by giving Diocesan Council tools to obtain repayment of delinquent loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XII Resolved That Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended by adding a new Section 5 to read as follows

As we embark on 2009 the Cathedralrsquos financial picture might seem better than it really is We end up 2008 with over $20000 in cash and with booked net income exceeding $60000 The difference between the booked number and the available cash is that in early 2008 we needed to satisfy unpaid bills booked in 2007 Also what appears to be a positive performance is misleading because it includes over $85000 withdrawn from investments during the first half of the year to pay accrued expenses However on a truly positive note we were blessed by a wonderful $70000 gift from Dr Phil Lewis late in the year This plus a couple of bequests during 2008 allowed us to end up in the black

Our unrestricted investment fund has shrunk to $70000 and that is the degree of the deficit in our 2009 budget We do have some cash though as we begin the year which should allow us to gear up some additional fundraising efforts to make up the shortfall

Factors key to the deficit budget this year include the fact that income is by comparison down significantly due to current market economics the reduced basis of remaining investments and no immediate prospect of a single large special gift Furthermore we will no longer be able to rely upon investments to shore up shortfalls as has been the case for almost three decades So the expense budget has been carefully pared to the minimum practical level

Our stewardship has been good We expect to see nearly a 10 increase in pledged commitments but given the overwhelming expenses - most of which are not discretionary ndash we need all of the external help we can get The Diocese and the Bishop have been very helpful however even with that assistance plus our increased pledging and excellent fundraising efforts we will fall short of meeting our needs This may well be the year for some very tough decisions

We did receive a court decision during 2008 which permits a 6 12 payout from the Dean Adams Trust rather than the historical 5 Yet due to the declines in the market that merely prevents further negative impact The chart below presents a high level view of the circumstances

Urban Ministry is Revitalized

On September 20 2008 the Urban Ministry had their first Workshop in years To say the workshop was productive is an understatement With over 30 committed attendees from more than seven churches from around the state the group gathered together to figure out what they can do to address the issues of the churches in the Urban areas The Guest Speaker and Facilitator of the Workshop was Nell Braxton Gibson Coordinator of the Episcopal Urban Caucus and an Activist of equality in all facets for many years

The group succeeded in getting a preempt to a Mission Statement after a lengthy overview The Mission Statement will temporarily read rdquoShare the gospel with all those who live and work in cities by preaching teaching advocating and empowering in a spirit of inclusivenessrdquo

The group discussed how systemic change is a major key in making and leading in urban ministry incorporating their mission statement as the actions of the committee As the dialog progressed the group discovered that many of the same community necessities were desired with no difference to the area there urban communities were located Church sizes from 75-600 connected through the very comparable liabilities in there surrounding neighborhoods

The Ministry appointed specific duties to members of the caucus proving that the meeting was fruitful and evolving on all levels The discussion of meeting more recently to get the Ministry back in full operation again was agreed upon by all parties involved The commitment level was very high which prove to be quite advantageous to the entire group In all it was an afternoon of discovery learning solidarity and compassion for solving the issues that plague all urban community churches

Some of the concerns highlighted for immediate attention were Alcoholism Drug Abuse Homelessness Mental Illness Affordable Housing and Hunger At the upcoming meeting the team will discuss and hopefully implement ideas and projects to initiate rescuing the urban communities of these problems

December 2008 In the December meeting Ms Clara Gregory reached out to resources in the state government of New Jersey and invited Ms Sarah Kleinman Coordinator of HIV Prevention for the New Jersey Department of Education who spoke to the group on the continuing need for education about the AIDS epidemic We agreed to follow up by sending an information packet to each of the congregations within the diocese informing of nearby resources and ways to get involved The Rev Jarrett Kerbel was also an invited speaker he is the Executive Director of Crisis

Report of the Treasurer to the 225th Diocesan Convention

To Clergy Lay Deputies and Alternates to the 225th Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey From Reginald Whitman Treasurer

Dear Friends This memorandum accompanies the Revised Preliminary Diocesan Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and the Proposed Preliminary Diocesan Budget for FY 2010 supporting the mission and ministry of the Diocese of New Jersey for the next two years which I am submitting for your consideration on behalf of Bishop Councell the Diocesan Council the Finance and Budget Committee and the financial offices of the Diocese The 2009 Budget Congregational Fair Share pledges are projected to be approximately 12 or $359000 less than in FY 2008 83 of pledges received are at 100 of the asking above or equal to FY 2008 17 of pledges received were reduced compared to last year including five of the top ten parishes when measured by parish income 50 parishes (31) have not yet filed a pledge for which $358000 ie their FY 2008 Fair Share giving is estimated to be their Fair Share Pledge for FY 2009 Trust income is projected to be down by about 83 or $57000 compared to FY 2008 actual Bishop Romerorsquos compensation will be supported entirely by donated restricted funds Those financial needs which exceed the normal income are being funded by working surpluses from prior years in the amount of $400000 and potentially and to a lesser extent from growth monies in the Harriet Procter Matthews (HPM) Fund by an amount up to $120000 but only if necessary If we use HPM Fund growth monies we intend to repay the Fund as reflected in the 2010 Preliminary Budget After considering the above total income for budgeting purposes is down approximately 3 from FY 2008 to FY 2009

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 242

Financials Exhibit I continued

Primary consideration has been given to funding the priorities enunciated by Bishop Councell

The Staff should be kept intact and compensated in accordance with mandated COLA increases

Trinity Cathedral commitment must be maintained at the same level as last year

The Episcopal Church asking to be 100 funded Diocesan program elements must be respected and

funded as completely as possible Commitments to retired clergy widowswidowers and

orphans are to be honored in full Our missionary zeal should be continued and our

Millennium Development Goal obligations should be met

Key elements of the expense budget include

Funding the Board of Missions asking (line 10) budgeted in full

The Episcopal Church asking (line 20) is funded 100 Trinity Cathedral (line 40) is funded at 2008 level even

though needs are much higher The Right Onward Visioning process (line 60) is funded

to enable an exciting year of activity Diocesan programs will continue with some cutbacks in

several areas Local program ministry grants are reduced to $10000

(line 120 amp121) Second alternate deputies to General Convention (line

412) will not be funded The diocesan Staff is treated as per the Bishoprsquos

request (lines 600 ndash 694) The only new senior Staff position added since 2004

Director of Communications is reduced to 13rd time in 2009 (line 660) This is necessary in order to contain expenses and is agreeable to the Communications Director

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 243

Financials Exhibit I continued

The Assistant Bishop (line 610) is to be funded entirely

by designated funds in 2009 leaving a balance that would fund less than one-half of the position in 2010

All retired clergy and widowwidower funding (line 730 amp 731) is intact

The Preliminary 2010 Budget The preliminary FY 2010 budget includes the revenue that would be available if every congregation is able to commit to the full amount of their pledge for 2010 As in the past this approach allows us to hold the budget up as a vision of the kind of mission and ministry that we can accomplish together if the resources are available to support it Available working surplus would not need to be used The preliminary FY 2010 budget supports all of the diocesan program allocation and other needs submitted for FY 2010 including increases in many instances The 2010 preliminary budget includes the repayment of any 2009 withdrawals that may have been made from the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies (line 702) The following increases and new allocations could be supported if congregations pledge the full Fair Share amount

Trinity Cathedral a 13rd increase (line 40) Local Ministry Grants increased funding (line 120-121) Multicultural Ministry Development (line 206) Director of Communications at 100 (line 660) Addition to administrative Staff (line 680) Capital campaign funding allocation (line 712a)

In Conclusion The current economic crisis may not be overcome in one yearone budget We therefore propose to use a portion of the available working surpluses from prior years and some of the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies in order to afford the Bishop and diocesan leaders the time to think and pray and plan and act to re-structure our Diocese in a way that more realistically matches our resources These are rainy days for which we have saved ldquoRainy Dayrdquo funds On the other hand we must not and we will not exhaust all of our funds so that they remain to be used for mission by future generations

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Audit Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey Administrative Offices ofthe Diocese of New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Administrative Offices of the Diocese of New Jersey (the Diocese) as of December 31 2007 and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended These financial statements are the responsibility of the Dioceses management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Dioceses 2006 financial statements and in our report dated December 17 2007 we elipressed a qualified opinion on those financial statements

We condllcted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as weI as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion

As explained in ilOte K to the financial statements the Diocese has not implemented Statements of Financial Standards (SFASH) Nos 106 and 132 Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions and Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that SFAS Nos l06 and 132 be followed when applicable It was not practicable to determine the effects of the unrecorded cost and disclosure requirements of post-retirement benefits on the fmancial statements

In our opinion except for the effects of not recording the cost of post-retirement benefits the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Diocese of New Jersey as of December 31 2007 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generslly accepted in the United States ofAmerica

Whereas those Committee members met with The Right Reverend Wilfrido Ramos Bishop of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and with members of the Companion Diocese Committee of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and had a full discussion of matters spiritual and temporal regarding a companion diocese relationship between the two Dioceses and

Whereas the aforesaid Committee members also visited parishes and schools throughout the Diocese of Ecuador Central and were warmly received throughout said Diocese and

Section B - 81

Convention Minutes continued

resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009 TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theological education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further Resolved That said funds be administered and distributed to needy seminarians through the existing Scholarship Program of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) said Society having an established record of 151 years of experience in administering scholarship grants to Episcopal seminarians and be it further Resolved That the General Convention direct SIM to report annually to the Executive Council on this work and its effectiveness in meeting the needs of the future ordained leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution

EXPLANATION The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median postgraduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic

years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

the sacredness of Godrsquos creation of spreading hope about Godrsquos reconciling work in creation and an under-standing of environmental stewardship and ecological justice and be it further

Resolved That the General Convention direct the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to develop prayers and other liturgical materials celebrating a Pentecost Season Creation Cycle for inclusion in the next edition of the Book of Occasional Services and that it report its work to the 77th General Convention

EXPLANATION God the Creator has made the universe with all its marvelous order its atoms planets galaxies and the Earth with its infinite complexity of living creatures Our Gracious God has filled all living creatures with plenteousness and generativity and has blessed human beings with the task of the stewardship of the creation upon Earth Traditional Anglicanism has observed the beauty of the Creation over the centuries by celebrating the octave of Rogation and has commended this practice in its foundational documents and continuing liturgical traditions Since 1991 many Episcopal Churches in the United States have celebrated a Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season to honor God the Creator with worship music and praise for these gifts of life This practice has spread to churches and cathedrals in the Episcopal Church and also to Australia where it has become a national religious observance In June of 2008 the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams joined ecumenical leaders in England in calling for the celebrating of a liturgical period annually in all churches of the United Kingdom to be dedicated to prayer for the protection of Creation and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles that reverse our contribution to climate change In affirming the Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season the Episcopal Church would be taking leadership in the Anglican Communion in the promotion of this important liturgical innovation

Be It Resolved That the 225th Annual Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey submit the following resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009

TITLE Affirming the Canonical Process

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention affirm the canonical commitment to full access by members of this Church to the discernment process for any ministry lay or ordained (Canon III 12ndash3) and be it further

Resolved That this Convention affirm the existing canonical process for the election consents and ordination of a bishop in this Church in which the Christ-centered manner of life of candidates and later bishops-elect is tested by the theological moral and psychological concerns of this Church understanding that determination of the appropriateness of such election and subsequent consents and ordination includes concerns for the challenges such election may present to members of this church or of other churches in the Anglican Communion and be it further

Resolved That this Convention continue its pledge to engage in a process of healing and reconciliation with member churches of the Anglican Communion who have declared themselves in a state of impaired communion with this Church and be it further

Resolved That the content of this resolution supersede the content of Resolution B033 of the 75th General Convention

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III Canon 1 Section 2) Resolutions such as B033 and its extra-canonical restraints are non-binding resolutions are strong recommendations A recommendation that is in

Section B - 93

Convention Minutes continued

are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request The Commission looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church and it developed a Draft Sabbatical Leave Policy for information and discussion which is contained in the Commissions written Report Document 10 that they felt is fair both to the clergy and to congregations While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit the Commission believes that the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future As this is Mr Nelsonrsquos last year on the commission he thanked all of the current members for their hard work this past year He has had the pleasure of serving with wonderful dedicated people both lay and clergy during his many years on the Commission He has enjoyed coming to this convention to see many old friends from the past He asked that you keep individuals serving on the commission in your prayers because their work is vitally important to the well-being of the diocese Budget Mr Reginald Whitman Treasurer of the Diocese referred deputies to Financials Exhibit I The Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 and Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the adoption of the Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 The motion was passed On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 The motion was passed

Fair Share Partners The Rev Philip Kasey Chair of the Fair Share Committee noted that one investment where the results have been consistently strong is the investment wersquove all made in our church Our church is alive and well the Body of Christ fully functioning faithfully using all the gifts we can gather Our parents invested in it and our children will be able to invest in it Our grandparents invested in it and it will still be here for our grandchildren to invest in it Itrsquos been here and it will be here Somehow the Body of Christ never finds a way to stop growing Father Kasey asked deputies to consider investing heavily today and every day In these times of economic calamity he asked everyone to go back to their vestries and encourage them to join by investing in our diocese The budget we just passed the one with the huge deficit in it What could be better than to surprise Bishop Councell by shrinking that deficit By investing more money than we think is reasonable in our diocese Letrsquos free up some of those bad investments and back a sure thing for a change Itrsquos really the only reasonable way to deal with times of great trial To put our faith in what has brought us through every other trial wersquove ever been through Our church Bishop Councell wants to create some jobs but since theyrsquore non-paying jobs that are going to take people away from the ministry theyrsquore already doing I want to put those men and women out of work before they even get started These people are the yet-to-be named members of what Irsquom going to call the Triage Task Force mdash a brain trust to be given the task of finding out how to cut at least half a million dollars out of the 2010 budget Do you really want less help with filling vacancies in your parishes and missions when your priest retires or answers another call Do you really want to cut back on administrative and Episcopal assistance available to Bishop Councell Is that what we want him to have returned from sabbatical for Less help Maybe yoursquod rather even less communication than we can afford now or to take a swipe at the budget of our amazing Youth Ministry If so then let this group convene Let whoever these people are going to be leaving their productive ministries aside for a few months so they can come together in Trenton to go to work with scissors and sharp pencils Father Kasey noted that he would rather invest in our church than work on diminishing it Itrsquos the one investment opportunity where past

performance really does serve as a reliable predictor of future results Because rather than the wild fluctuations of the financial markets your investment in our church fluctuates in a very predictable way Life Death Resurrection No itrsquos not win-win but that loss in the middle is fully redeemable So letrsquos surprise Bishop Councell and keep him smiling and invest as heavily as we possibly can more even ask for even more than you already have As Paul says to the Galatians ldquoUse your freedom to serve one another in love mdash thatrsquos how freedom growsrdquo Not by fearfully embracing apparent scarcity and anxiety but by foolishly faithfully investing in Resurrection Rather than mourning our losses now is the chance for us brothers and sisters fellow fools in Christ to shore up the very foundation we stand on and invest in following the footsteps of our Lord who in his mercy makes New Jersey new Right onward revive us again Anti-Racism Commission The Rev Terrence Rosheuvel Chair reported that the Anti-Racism Commission continues to be guided by the vision adopted in 2001 The Commission oversaw development and activities of the Anti-Racism Team (ART) and organized anti-racism training events introductory parish and search committee training within the diocese as well as offering training to Diocesan executive staff officials elected to leading commissions and committees in the diocese and candidates in the School for Deacons Father Rosheuvel encouraged everyone to make a personal commitment to end the sin of racism in our diocese He invited deputies to visit the Commissionrsquos booth in the exhibit area He thanked Bishop Councell for his support of the Commission Property Matters Canon John Wood Goldsack Esq Chancellor reported on issues surrounding church property The Constitution and Canons as well as New Jersey Statutes specify certain actions regarding property For example mortgaging selling or leasing property for more than one year requires the consent of the Bishop and Standing Committee He warned of litigation in cases where this consent was not given Standing Committee meets monthly except July and August so vestries contemplating such transactions should plan accordingly Two documents are on the Diocesan website regarding leasing property

be developed to assist in expanding Hispanic and other cultural ministries In 2007 Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 Truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 Assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 Assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches that are bringing the Good News of Christ to their communities and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches Assistance in the amount of $318523 was granted to mission churches in 2008 The list is available in the Board of Missions Report to Convention Document 17 Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons Paul Ambos Esq Chair of the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons presented Part II of the report With the passage on second reading of the Constitutional amendment allowing for voting rights for certain clergy of other denominations to the extent provided by canon an appropriate amendment to the canons is called for Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention

action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session He explained that for priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly he moved the following Implementing Resolution II on behalf of the Committee Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

The Diocesan Youth Commission Council shall be entitled to seat voice and vote at Diocesan Convention The Youth Commission Council shall elect three persons who are at least 16 years of age and who are communicants in good standing of a parish within the Diocese to serve as deputies to Diocesan Convention The President and Secretary of the Youth Commission Co-Chairs of the Youth Council or the Director of Youth Ministry shall certify the election of the deputies to the Secretary of Diocesan Convention

Section B - 104

Convention Minutes continued

Section 3 of Canon 49 which governs the election of parish officers including Deputies and Alternates to Diocesan Convention The canon requires election of officers to serve for a year following the annual meeting but some congregations have been electing Deputies and Alternates to serve for the second following Diocesan Convention The Committee drafted an amendment to legitimize such a procedure but recommended against its adoption because it is unnecessary If a congregation feels that its annual meeting is too close to the next Diocesan Convention it can change the date of its meeting Accordingly Mr Ambos moved Implementing Resolution VI Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 49 Section 3 be amended by adding the following sentence

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence a congregation whose annual meeting is held between the First Sunday in Advent and the opening of the annual meeting of the Diocesan Convention may provide by bylaw for the election at its meeting of Deputies and alternate Deputies to the second following Diocesan Convention rather than the immediately following Diocesan Convention

The resolution was defeated Mr Ambos presented Part VII of the report concerning matters carried over from prior years as to which no action was necessary Mr Ambos presented Part VIII of the report a proposal to amend the first paragraph of Constitution Article II Section 2 to return the provisions governing the vote of bishops from the Canons to the Diocesan Constitution The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote

Prior to 1996 this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

Section B - 105

Convention Minutes continued

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention The Diocese had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 the only person to whom the change had been applied was retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit Fr Sullivans proposal is contained in Document 7A Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention Mr Ambos noted that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Sylvestre Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons Accordingly on behalf of the Committee he moved Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Fr Sullivans rationale for this proposal is set forth also in Document 7A The Committee has reviewed this proposal and recommends against its adoption because (a) it applies only to ELCA clergy only and not to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (b) it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time (c) it would adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) and (d) it includes a blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese in the voting-qualification Article of the Constitution rather than in the Article specifying qualifications for office for Standing Committee The Committee questions whether this last disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy Accordingly the Committee has proposed Implementing Resolution X to enact Fr Sullivans proposal which Mr Ambos moved on behalf of the Committee noting the Committees recommendation that it be defeated Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

The resolution was defeated Mr Ambos noted that in addition to other matters contained in the Committees main Report for 2009 Document 7 there were timely

submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Since Document 7 had been printed when Fr Sullivan had asked that these proposals be reported out they are contained in the Committees Supplementary Report Document 7B as Parts XI and XII of the Committees report Part XI deals with limiting the amount and purposes permitted for loans made from the Capital and Revolving Fund under Canon 21 sect 2 and Part XII would add a new Canon 21 sect 5 to address defaults in loans made by any of the several diocesan loan funds covered by that Canon At this point Bishop Councell as President of Convention referred Parts XI and XII of the Supplementary Report back to the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons for further consideration to report back to the 226th Annual Convention

On November 1 2007 the Rector and Wardens of St Georgersquos Church Helmetta New Jersey advised Bishop Councell that they had voted to withdraw from the Diocese of New Jersey and The Episcopal Church On November 19 2007 Bishop Councell went to St Georgersquos and met with the Rector Wardens Vestrymen and parishioners and found that no one from the parish desired to continue a relationship with the Diocese or The Episcopal Church Since that time no services have been held nor officers elected in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey The former parish of St Georgersquos acknowledges that the parish property was held in trust for the benefit of the Diocese and The Episcopal Church Bishop Councell and the Standing Committee of the Diocese continue in conversation to determine how best all issues can be resolved pastorally recognizing and respecting the faith and rights of all concerned Canon Goldsack s Resolution was seconded and passed Bishop Councell asked the members of Convention to keep our brothers and sisters of St Georgersquos Helmetta in their prayers Crisis Ministry Bishop Councell introduced the Rev W Jarrett Kerbel Executive Director of Crisis Ministry who grew up in New Jersey in Christ Church New Brunswick His mother is Deacon Carol Kerbel He followed his motherrsquos footsteps into ordained ministry and also followed her into the position at Crisis Ministry Crisis Ministry is a ministry of Trinity Church Princeton and the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton as well as 59 other congregations in Mercer County For almost 30 years Crisis Ministry has been serving the most vulnerable in the community They are now the largest food pantry and largest homeless prevention agency in Mercer County In October 2008 the food pantry assisted 1450 families In 2008 they helped 748 families with homelessness prevention This is a tragic success A crisis that has lasted 30 years is no longer a crisis It is the world as it is Charity is a failed strategy The Gospel is lived in solidarity with the poor or it is not lived at all The job of the church is to lead the world from where it is to where it should be The Church has not done its job Father Kerbel who spends most of his time in Trenton could give a tour of all the empty buildings of the mainline denominations in Trenton These abandoned buildings represent the systematic disinvestment of the church in urban areas We have walked away from the urban world We fled and then we called those days our glory years The suburban

The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey February 27 2009

My dear friends in Christ I have been to the mountain top On Monday morning November 10 2008 I arrived at Gilmanrsquos Point the second highest peak on Mt Kilimanjaro the highest mountain on the continent of Africa For a little while I stood on ldquothe roof of Africardquo Getting there wasnrsquot easy and it wasnrsquot pretty But it was glorious I made it by the grace of God in the strength of your prayers and with the help of my hiking partner Deacon Dan Fowler and our Tanzanian guides So I begin this my Sixth Address to the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey with a word of profound thanks to Bishop Romero and the diocesan Staff to the Standing Committee to all of you and to our entire community Thank you for the extraordinary privilege of a sabbatical leave from this office and ministry from mid-October through mid-January Not all of it was as demanding and dramatic as the ascent of Kilimanjaro I also beheld in awesome wonder many other glories of Godrsquos creation in the national parks in that region of Tanzania Later I walked a small section of the pilgrimage route in northern Spain known as the Camino that leads to Santiago de Compostela Hiking the Camino so late in the year proved to be more adventure than I was prepared for so I altered my plans I took the bus But in the end I found Jesus present in the Sacrament exposed in a rather plain side chapel of the Cathedral set apart from the excessive ornamentation of the shrine of St James In the stillness and silence I was blessed I returned home and enjoyed several weeks of reading reflection and rest I celebrated a Christmas with my family unlike any other Christmas in 33 years of ordained ministry Godrsquos grace worked through this sabbatical to refresh my soul renew my vocation and restore my health It was good to lay down for a time what St Paul refers to as his ldquoanxiety for all the churchesrdquo (II Cor 1128) But it is very good to be back I love Jesus I love Jersey and I love being a bishop in this Diocese this Church and Communion at this time I am back and I am stoked My feelings are captured in the words of a young African pastor who wrote ldquoI wonrsquot give up shut up let up until I have stayed up stored up prayed up paid up preached up for the cause of Christ I am a disciple of Jesus I must go till He comes give till I drop preach till all know and work till He stops me And when He comes He will have no problem recognizing mehelliprdquo That is how I intend to serve till He tells me to stop

Last Sunday we heard the story of the mountain-top experience of Peter James and John ndash known as the Transfiguration of our Lord (Mark 9 2-8 Matt 171-8 Luke 928-36) Now some New Testament commentators argue that the Transfiguration is really a resurrection account that in the course of the transmission of the Gospel migrated from the end to the middle of the story They call it a ldquomisplaced resurrection storyrdquo Whether or not that is a defensible thesis I leave to the scholars But I think itrsquos a perfectly wonderful job description for the Church ldquoJob Number One be a misplaced resurrection storyrdquo The back story is that the so-called sovereigns did their worst on Friday but on Sunday God did His best and a dead man walked out of the tomb and showed his sad weak and frightened friends that the real victory belonged to the real God ndash the God who makes everything glorious From the first light of dawn that day they were so out of their minds with love for Jesus and so stoked with fire of His love they just couldnrsquot be calmed or contained or reasoned with They were so totally in love with Jesus there was no other life to live no other sovereign to serve They had nothing to lose They had already received everything that they needed ldquoYou can have all this worldrdquo they said ldquoGive me Jesusrdquo They woke up every morning and went about living Jesusrsquo life doing Easter stuff and showing the world that He rules And when the lordlets of this world came down on Jesusrsquo friends they didnrsquot feel the nails didnrsquot even see the lions They just kept singing those Easter hymns kept on being a misplaced resurrection appearance They would not be changed There was a man living in a poor neighborhood in a city He pretty much kept to himself But everyday at 300 in the afternoon he would emerge from his apartment walk out into the street and shout ldquoJustice peace reconciliationrdquo Every day like clockwork Finally one of his neighbors got weary of it and confronted him ldquoMan you got to stop this Are you crazy Donrsquot you know you canrsquot change the worldrdquo ldquoMaybe yoursquore rightrdquo said the man ldquoMaybe I canrsquot change the world But I can keep the world from changing merdquo Can we keep the world from changing us changing the agenda of our lives ndash given to us at baptism Can we stay on the job being a misplaced resurrection appearance in the middle of this story Or will we be persuaded to tone it down give it a rest go back inside close the doors of the church and play it safe Are we afraid This is indeed a most challenging time in which you and I are called to bear witness to Christ and to lead our churches and our Diocese in Christrsquos ministry Watching the staggering economic

Section B - 117

Bishoprsquos Address continued developments over the past several months I was reminded of an essay by CS Lewis that was published during World War II and entitled ldquoLearning in Wartimerdquo In it he wrote If you have not directly lost a loved one but rather find yourself dazed shaken and fearful God is saying to you ldquoWake up to your need for me and up to what real security is No military power or technology or human factor can make you safe Only in the very center of my will is there any safety You donrsquot have the human ability to control things You need merdquo If we had foolish hopes about human culture they are now shattered If we thought we were building up a heaven on earth if we looked for something that would turn the present world from a place of pilgrimage into a permanent city satisfying the soulhellip we are disillusioned and not a moment too soon In ordinary times only the wise realize it Now the stupidest of us knows it Now we are hurting right along with the world Our people are losing jobs and savings and homes or are worried about all of that And poor and vulnerable people are even worse off Our churches schools seminaries and outreach programs are all weakened by declines in the value of their assets The neighborhoods where many of our people live and work and worship are in serious decline There is a lot of fear and a world of hurt The most natural thing in the world is to draw back and hold on to what wersquove got But I say to you today this is our moment to be that misplaced resurrection appearance We are a called people We are to walk in the light of the resurrection We know the end of this story We know that wherever the bottom is we cannot fall beyond the reach of our Lord He will raise us up He makes everything glorious That is what he does And we belong to Him So what does that make us We are the preview of coming attractions a dress rehearsal for the coming kingdom That is what we do Who we are shouts so loudly the world cannot hear what we are saying (Emerson) Biographers say that the best way to get to know ndash really know ndash their subject is to have her or his check book and appointment book So what do the budget and the business of this great Diocese of New Jersey tell us First things first We are going right onward with sacrificial giving and leadership for the wider mission of our Church The proposed budget

calls for the funding of the full asking (215) for The Episcopal Church provides 07 of our income for the Millennium Development Goals meets the full request of the Board of Missions for funding our own mission churches continues to support our Cathedral and has many other features that commend it I hope that you will adopt it It must be said however that in order to fund this budget and its outreach we propose to take a significant proportion of our audited surpluses from previous years and some accumulated earnings from one of our endowments This is a rainy day We are blessed to have these resources to help to get through this year But we need the leadership of what I will call a Task Force on Restructure to examine the options of how we shall do mission together in what most people think will be the lean years ahead I am happy to announce that Ms Kathy OrsquoHagan of St Mark and All Saintsrsquo Galloway and the Rev Jack Zamboni of St Francisrsquo Dunellen have accepted my appointment to serve as Co-Chairs of this body I will ask that they report to Diocesan Council in the fall so that their recommendations will help to shape our budgeting for 2010 and beyond Meanwhile our Staff and diocesan leaders are actively working to decrease our expenses For example this is the last Convention for which Deputies will receive materials in hard copy via surface mail All registration and pre-Convention materials will be sent electronically We are achieving savings in most every expense line in the budget Here I have the honor to recognize Reg Whitman Senior Warden of St Georgersquos-by-the-River Rumson who has just completed his first year as diocesan Treasurer What a year it has been And in case you wondered Reg is standing for election for a second term Well done faithful one and thank you on behalf of a very very grateful Diocese and Bishop Looking beyond the budget what does our diocesan program tell us about who we are Well to borrow a title from the Rev Greg Bezilla our Chaplain to Rutgers University and a leader in the movement to invite more young people to consider a vocation to ordained ministry we are a Church of passion and purpose We need both of course We see plenty of passion around us but to no apparent purpose or to purposes that are not worthy of the Gospel But in the Church we see much that is purposeful (or dutiful at least) but lacking the passion that makes the Churchrsquos mission lively and engaging

But look at whatrsquos new in New Jersey a Diocese of passion and purpose A ldquoPassion and Purposerdquo Sunday is proposed to be observed on the Third Sunday of Easter April 26 2009 On that day I urge all the clergy to offer preaching teaching testimony and theological reflection on the subject of vocation to the end that youth and young adults are invited to consider a vocation to ordained ministry and everyone is put in mind that their vocation is ldquothe place where your deep gladness and the worldrsquos deep hunger meetrdquo (Frederick Buechner Wishful Thinking A Theological ABC) Lord grant us passion and purpose A new effort to reach out to young adults is underway I know that you will join me in refusing to surrender to the notion that we simply have nothing to hold the attention of young adults from the day after their Confirmation until they are married with children Fr Bezilla and others have better ideas Support them Better yet join them Lord grant us passion and purpose What passion and purpose may be seen in the ongoing life of our Cathedral They continue to serve our Diocese with grace and strength and deep faith in the provision of our God I thank Dean Rene John for his leadership along with that of the Wardens Chapter and Staff Miracles are happening there Lord thank you for passion and purpose I call upon us to rejoice in the growth of so many other congregations across our Diocese including our ministries among Latino people and two churches that will be recognized by this meeting St Peterrsquos Igbo Church Trenton and Christ the King Willingboro We are a growing Church in many places We are trying to grow in most places

Lord thank you for passion and purpose

Someone who has helped us to grow and helped us to recruit support and retain healthy clergy leadership over the past eight and a half years is the Rev Canon Elizabeth R Geitz Canon Geitz has resigned her position effective in May in order to relocate and to explore new ministries We can all be very grateful for the countless ways she has

enriched and strengthened the ministries of this Diocese We thank you dear Elizabeth Lord thank you for her passion and purpose We have a new Companion Diocese The Rev Canon Servio Moscoso and the Companion Diocese Committee oversaw a gracious conclusion to our nine-year relationship with the Diocese of El Salvador and have helped us to enter into a new companionship with the Diocese of Ecuador Central That diocese will soon receive a new bishop to be elected by our House of Bishops next month One of the nominees is our own Canon Moscoso I ask your prayers for the Diocese facing many difficult challenges and for Servio and Angela

Lord grant them passion and purpose Among other new programs initiated in the past year are the formation of a Committee led by the Rev Dr Hugh Brown Rector of All Saintsrsquo Princeton to help our Diocese respond to the needs of the victims of genocide in Darfur a Committee led by the Rev Deacon Johnine Byrer to coordinate and expand our ministries among the incarcerated a new campus ministry at The College of New Jersey established through the efforts of the Rev Lisa Caton and a reconstituted and revitalized Stewardship Commission under the direction of Charles Perfater Treasurer of our Cathedral and Executive Coordinator of Province II Faithful financial stewardship remains a challenge for us in this Diocese I know of many faithful and effective clergy and lay leaders who are often feel profoundly discouraged that there is not more sacrificial giving of money for the mission of our churches I remind us that the tithe is the minimum standard of giving in this Church Ruth and I have been tithers for 35 years or more We have never claimed that it makes better than anyone else only that it makes us more grateful for all that we have been given by God Stewardship is all that we are and all that we have all of the time There is no spiritual renewal without a new joy in giving I challenge us all to discover the joy of sacrificial giving not because the Church has needs but because we need to give And for this dear Lord grant us passion and purpose All this and Canon Cynthia McFarland is back We give thanks for her restored health and for her renewed ministry as Communications Director I regret that this position was reduced to part-time Canon McFarland will focus on our website and electronic communications See our redesigned web page at newjerseyanglicanorg

vision They proposed that we concentrate on five initiatives one each year for five years In 2008 they promoted a variety of programs to help and inspire congregations to embrace the first initiative ldquogrowth through welcoming and inclusionrdquo This year we are being asked to focus on spiritual renewal where our vision is to ldquosee people of all ages being transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ into His discipleshelliprdquo How will you and I be transformed by grace in the year ahead If for no other reason than because this is a year that will require many difficult decisions we need to seek the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and other avenues of personal spiritual renewal Revival is not about being ldquoHappy Clappyrdquo in a shallow way and it is not at all about denial of the very real forces that affect our lives and our churches Wherever I have gone in recent years I have tried to mention John 1010 and the abundant life that Jesus points to as the very heart of His mission That is why He came But more recently I have been drawn to another text from John Listen carefully Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground dead to the world it is never any more than a grain of wheat But if it is buried it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over In the same way anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life But if you let go reckless in your love yoursquoll have it forever real and eternal John 12 24-25 in The Message by Eugene Peterson I am persuaded that we as a Church have a lot of letting go and burying to do in order to bear fruit and to come to experience the real eternal and abundant life of Jesus Christ Of course we have genuine worries about not just our diocesan assets but those of our churches particularly the smaller churches set in poorer communities One lay leader asked me just last week ldquoBishop are you going to close our churchrdquo I said ldquoNo but I promise to continue to raise these questions with every congregationrdquo For what purpose do you want to keep the church open and what are you prepared to do in order to support continuing ministry

What shall we as a Diocese do together with you to advance the mission of your church in your community Is God calling you to consolidation reconfiguration merger andor new bold creative arrangements with neighboring churches

Section B - 123

Bishoprsquos Address continued Will you consider that in order to support the mission it may be necessary to close and sell buildings and use those assets in some new ways for the sake of the Gospel I would venture to guess that as many as one-third of our congregations need to look at these and other important questions right now The financial turmoil in our nation has accelerated the urgency of these questions and added to the numbers of congregations that are vulnerable ie no longer able to afford full-time clergy leadership andor no longer able to maintain safe facilities And my friends there is no bail out in the offing But wait herersquos a glimpse of the resurrection for you This weekrsquos mail brought two letters one from the Senior Warden of Christ Church Magnolia the other from Christ Church Collingswood Each letter reports that after an extended period of shared worship program and fellowship the two Vestries voted unanimously to proceed with consolidation of these two congregations ldquoWe recognize the strength to be found in the sharing of our gifts and common liferdquo wrote one These are my heroes I thank them for their faithfulness and that of the Rev Robert J Critelli who gently guided this process Yes we can I am committed to work together with Staff with our congregational development committee and other resource persons and with all the leaders of all these churches to ask the hard questions in the light of John 1224-25 and seek outcomes like this one

My friends we are here to do the business of the Diocese of New Jersey And we will do it in good order to the best of our ability and then go home But let us recognize that the most important thing that we will do in these two days is just this to celebrate and share the abundant life of Jesus Christ For in the Eucharist we receive all the nourishment we need to live Christrsquos life together and go about changing the world for His sake No smaller plans are worthy of Him Yes we are so God-intoxicated as not to be intimidated We know that in the end Jesus wins Life wins Justice peace and reconciliation win This is the victory banquet Then we go forth to fight the battles The outcome is secure Godrsquos promises are sure and certain And when we ldquofeebly strugglerdquo there is a great cloud of witnesses cheering on us on from another shore and a greater light where the resurrection is not misplaced where sorrow and pain are no more neither sighing but only life everlasting All we go down to the dust yet

Anti-Racism Commission

Our Twenty-Year Vision for the Diocese of New Jersey (Adopted by Diocesan Council September 2001)

The Diocese of New Jersey is recognized as a part of the Body of Christ because its congregations joyfully celebrate their anti-racist multicultural embodiment of Christrsquos love The Diocese provides intentional leadership in dismantling racism in the Wider community by modeling the sharing of power and mutual respect among all people at all levels of diocesan life Its mission structures policies and practices are used to perpetuate an anti-racist identity The Diocesersquos anti-racist way of living together through its values of Justice and equality is seen as a model for change and a sign of hope The Anti-Racism Commission continues to be guided by this vision in all its organizing efforts against racism for the diocese In 2008 the Anti-Racism Commission oversaw development and activities of the Anti-Racism Team (ART) and organized anti-racism training events introductory parish and search committee training within the diocese The commission offered anti-racism training to all diocesan executive Staff as well as officials elected to diocesan council standing committee finance and budget committee and other entities the commission also organized anti-racism training which is required for clergy candidates in deacon school To date the Commission has provided a 90-minute workshop to 34 parishes and search committees The Anti-Racism Commission underwent a number of personnel changes during 2008 losing four commission members We welcomed new member replacements and one long-term member returning to the diocese and commission during the last quarter of the year In the fall of 2008 following a team and commission retreat we began a process of team restructuring with the objective of better using the skills and abilities of team members and our resources We adopted and publicized a policy strongly urging that parish search committees be scheduled for the Introductory Anti-Racism Training as soon as possible after they have been established It is also urged that the parish vestries join those trainings We were able to provide training to three search committees and one parish though we were hampered by a lack of qualified trainers for most of the year There were other

search committees to whom we were not able to provide training to due to circumstances in their search process that led to cancellation or

Anti-Racism Report continued

postponement of training We are aggressively addressing the issue of having a fully qualified cadre of multiple training teams ready for assignments in the later half of 2009 During 2008 we sponsored three multi-day workshops to train current and new team members and members of Hispanic congregations in An Introduction to Anti-Racism Analysis and Advanced Anti-Racism Training These trainings help identify candidates to serve as parish trainers who will get more in-depth experience in training platform skills and subject matter content Their preparation also involves observing and assisting in actual search or parish training sessions We discussed with Bishop Councell the concept of having core trainers a full time set of 2-3 people who would work for the diocese to provide the same kind of training we now contract for from Crossroads Subsequently the Commission formed a task force to look into grants and support from foundations for the purpose of training and employing core trainers

We also discussed issues concerning support for Black clergy serving predominantly white parishes We suggested the diocesan deployment office should organize a seminar for Black clergy with their parish vestries The deployment office should facilitate special training to bring out issues initiate a support system and then follow-up with vestries that call clergy who are not white These offerings would be supplemental to the anti-racism training parish search committees receive during their discernment and search process

During a Meeting with Bishop Romero commission members introduced three topics history and an overview of the work of the commission relationship between Black and Latino clergy and how ARC can work with Bishop Romero to accomplish his agenda During the meeting suggestions were made to aid a stronger working relationship between the Anti-Racism Commission and the Hispanic Commission and to further an agenda of cross-cultural understanding throughout the diocese Bishop Romero also encouraged our mutual support of the Cross Cultural Clergy Conference in October 2008 and participation in the newly formed Cross-Cultural Committee he chairs We agreed with his suggestions

We sponsored a presentation at Diocesan House of the documentary video ldquoDominican Identity and Migrations to Hispaniolardquo Professor Nestor Montilla and his assistant who researched and produced the

Audit Committee The Committee engaged Mercadien PC Princeton NJ to audit Diocesan financial statements for 2007 reviewed and approved drafts of such statements and authorized their publication together with the Auditorrsquos Letter The letter included the Auditorrsquos opinion that the Diocesan Statements presented fairly in all material respects the Diocesersquos financial position in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles but was qualified because of one material omission our balance sheet does not include a capitalized liability to quantify the Diocesersquos on-going obligation to pay premiums for health insurance coverage for our retired clergy Such liability cannot be calculated without an actuarial determination of the life expectancy of the insured pool The Committee has agreed to engage a professional actuary to undertake the necessary determinations The Committeersquos objective is to have such work completed no later than at the preparation of the 2009 financials so that an unqualified Auditorrsquos opinion can be achieved thereon

Mercadienrsquos engagement has been renewed for the 2008 audit

A subcommittee of the Audit Committee has been organized to develop and offer training to parishes on financial audit procedures and to support parishes in the formation and implementation of parish audit committees This development is in response to requests for assistance in this connection from attendees at the December 2007 meeting of wardens and parish treasurers so that parishes can come into compliance with National and Diocesan canons for annual financial audits Initially members of the subcommittee which is comprised of volunteers from a diversity of parishes and under the chairmanship of Robert Becker Flemington plan to contact parishes to determine how

Mission assistance In 2007 The Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board of Missions is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches who are bringing the Good News of Christ to their community and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches In support of the missionary work of some of our mission congregations the following churches received $318523 of mission assistance in 2008

Subject 2009 General Convention Support of Seminarians

Be It Resolved That the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey join with its Deputies to General Convention in submitting the following resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009

TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theo-logical education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further

Committee on Resolutions continued leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General

Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution EXPLANATION

The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median post-graduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

SUBMITTED BY The Revd Joan MP Anders Chair on behalf of the Diocese of New Jersey Deputation to General Convention Statement in Support of Resolution 2009-1 by Proposers The Episcopal Church is the only major denomination in the United States that does not have a central funding source to support seminarians in their education training and formation The Society for

the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) is an independent non-profit scholarship foundation Most SIM grants are awarded to full-time students who have been granted postulancy by their bishops and who are enrolled in a master of divinity program at the eleven accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church In addition through an Alternative Program SIM grants a limited number of scholarships to postulants meeting the same criteria who are preparing for ordination in the Episcopal Church at alternative educational institutions SIM solicits donations from individuals parishes and dioceses and has received some funding from General Convention within the last forty years The need is great Past General Conventions have passed resolutions encouraging parishes to devote 1 of their net budget income to the support of seminaries of The Episcopal Church but the last reported Parochial Report figures from 1999 demonstrate that such support amounted to only 0027 (barely one quarter of one percent) of the called-for support Had support been sustained at 1 of net budget parish income scholarship funds would have increased substantially and the cost of such education training and formation would have been reduced very significantly and the situation with our seminaries might be quite different The sponsors of this proposal therefore also call upon parishes to consider including funding for SIM in their own budgets The proposed resolution has already been submitted to the General Convention office by individual Deputy Joan MP Anders with the endorsement of Deputies Joan Fleming Noreen Duncan and John Wood Goldsack General Convention rules allow submissions by individual Deputies by Bishops by Dioceses or by Provinces If approved by this 225th Diocesan Convention it will be resubmitted on behalf of the Diocese Recommendation by Committee on Resolutions The Committee makes no recommendation as to this proposal RESOLUTION 2009-2 Subject Liturgical Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season Be it Resolved That the 225th Annual Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey commend to the diocese and congregations the optional celebration of a liturgical Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season from

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III

Darfur Committee

The Diocese of New Jersey and Bishop Councell convened the Darfur Committee to implement resolution 2008-1 of the 2008 Diocesan Convention which charged ldquoThe Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey to join with the government of the United States the United Nations and a host of other countries organizations and individuals around the world to call and work for an end to the violence in Darfurrdquo and which called the Diocese of New Jersey to establish a committee to ldquostudy the situation in Darfur and provide information to member parishes and others about the crimes against humanity taking place there along with recommendations of actions that can be taken by parishes and individuals to bring these violations and actions to an end at the earliest possible opportunity and to provide support for Darfur refugees and other displaced personsrdquo The Committee met for the first time on February 2 and thus far consists of the following persons appointed by Bishop Councell The Rev Dr Hugh E Brown III Chair the Rev Greg Bezilla the Rev Sharon Sutton the Rev Jane Brady Mr Glendon Bell Mr Matt Bollinger and Ms Allicia Graham The committee begins it work with a desire to study deeply and prayerfully the human rights issues in Darfur and make appropriate recommendations to the diocese for faith-based advocacy from congregations and the wider Diocese and Church But we also desire that the committee address the larger issue of the spiritual foundations for human rights advocacy and how the church effectively addresses issues of social justice and peace-making Darfur which means ldquoland of the furrdquo is an arid and impoverished region of Western Sudan that has faced decades of graphic violence over land and grazing rights between mostly nomadic Arabs and farmers from

native Darfur communities Early in 2003 rebel groups began attacking government targets charging that the region had long been neglected by the Sudanese government based in Khartoum and that the government was using local Arab groups to oppress and destroy black African farmers in favor of Arab nomads

The Sudanese government responded by mobilizing ldquoself-defense militiasrdquo and refugees from Darfur have described government links to a brutal militia movement called the ldquoJanjaweedrdquo accused of trying to ldquocleanserdquo black Africans from large swathes of territory Refugees from Darfur say that following air raids by government aircraft the Janjaweed ride into villages on horses and camels slaughtering men raping women and stealing whatever they can find

The United States government has termed the government response to the Darfur rebellion as genocide even though that term can provoke debate there is no doubt that crimes against humanity have become a staple of life in Darfur and continue as we meet in Convention Millions of civilians have fled their destroyed villages the refugee problem is immense along Western Sudanrsquos borders and United Nations estimates of the dead from the Darfur War total 300000

Although Sudanrsquos President Omar Hassan al-Bashir announced a formal ldquocease-firerdquo in November of this past year and a joint African Union-UN peacekeeping mission Unamid took over in January of this past year from an African peace force the intense violence particularly directed against the civilian population of Darfur continues the International Criminal Court has indicted President Bashir on charges of genocide warm crimes and crimes against humanity

In early February at least 30000 people fled their homes in renewed fighting between the Sudanese government and rebel forces which have now splintered and number in the dozens

This is the context of the Darfur Committeersquos work We also note that violence continues in Southern Sudan as well and the Presiding Bishop has issued a statement calling attention to the atrocities committed by ldquoThe Lordrsquos Resistance Armyrdquo a Ugandan rebel group which continues to terrorize people in the region particularly Christians The Baptismal Covenant in the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States contains an often neglected promise which is a bedrock commitment of our Christian lives ldquoWe will strive for Justice and Peace among All People and respect the dignity of every human being doing so with Godrsquos helprdquo

Diocesan Investment Trust To Shareholders of the Diocesan Investment Trust From The Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust On January 22nd the Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust (DIT) met with our two investment managers Legg Mason and Bank of America to review the results for 2008 and discuss strategic directions for 2009 Financial markets around the world both fixed income and equity suffered sharply negative returns last year in almost all asset classes Investor confidence has been badly shaken by consumer credit problems that began with housing related financing and a subsequent migration to other forms of consumer lending The resulting contraction in the consumers ability or willingness to spend has had a very negative impact on almost all business activity both in the United States and elsewhere around the world Within the context of this highly uncertain environment the DIT fared reasonably well when compared to benchmarks but still had a very large negative return The DIT unit value declined a little over 29 as compared with a 37 drop in the Standard amp Poors 500 Index and much larger drops in foreign developed and developing markets Fixed income returns also suffered greatly last year with the exception of US Treasury obligations The DIT starts 2009 with about 62 of its assets in equities and the balance in fixed income assets a mix that the Trustees reaffirmed as appropriate to provide for a combination of income generation and longer term growth However the Trustees recognize that great uncertainty exists about how economic conditions will unfold in 2009 and we will be prepared to adjust the portfolio if it seems justified On that score the current dividend of 175 cents per month or $210 per year for each share now represents a current payout of very close to 6 of the 2008 yearend unit value The Trustees are reluctant at this time to reduce the dividend but we will be monitoring financial market conditions closely over the next few quarters and if further significant deterioration takes place it is likely that we will have to react

The Environmental Commission completed two environmental audits during 2008 one for St Johns Elizabeth and one for Christ Church

Environmental Commission continued Riverton Both churches had formed committees to review the recommendations and carry them forward St Johns reports that its oil budget has dramatically decreased about ten fold partially due to the new 45 degree setbacks for its buildings and partially due to moving its Sunday services to new quarters fashioned from its large Parish Hall Grants are being sought for new energy efficient refrigerators Most bulbs have been changed over to fluorescents with some electric savings although the bulbs are more expensive and will take a bit of time to earn back their cost Christ Church has not yet reported on their progress but their audit was done near the end of 2008 so will take some time to accomplish The Environmental Commission will do a site visit during 2009 to see its progress and have a walk through conducted by GreenFaith The Commission seeks to expand its audits during 2009 with a stronger budget than in 2008 as the savings anticipated for each congregation is quite sizeable and would greatly benefit both the diocese and the congregation Respectfully submitted Joe Parrish Chair

EFM Education for Ministry

The goal of Education for Ministry (EFM) is to prepare adults for Mission and Ministry in the Church While a large chunk of the four year program of study deals with the Scriptures EFM is much more than a mere Bible study it is a way of integrating faith fellowship and theological thinking with the life of the believer Such topics as Old and New Testament Worship Ethics Church History and Modern Theology are important components of the seminar meetings EFM is a program administered through the Seminary of the South in Sewanee Tennessee There are currently five seminar groups with seven mentors and forty-three students that meet in various parishes of the Diocese On April 20th a presentation on Education for Ministry was given for the Woodbury Convocation The result was the formation of a new seminar group which is being mentored by Sister Cassandra Norseworthy Other EFM seminar groups are located at Church of the Atonement Laurel Springs St Peterrsquos Medford Trinity Princeton and Christ Church Toms River

The Episcopal Church in Camden

History reveals the past and the past too often is mourned as the golden era now dead and gone The closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics perhaps unwittingly made the point that when one flame goes out the struggle begins for another flame to burst forth That struggle to bring a future from a dead flame is a lesson our Church could emulate in our cities

The ldquoGolden Agerdquo of the Episcopal Church in Camden began in the year 1830 when the first meeting of a congregation to be called St Paulrsquos was held However there was mention of the Episcopal Church as early as 1820 when on May 21st of that year Bishop Croes preached in the Academy of Camden to the ldquoEpiscopalians and others residing in that villagerdquo

Ten years after Croes characterized Camden as a village it blossomed

into a small city On March 12 1830 the first known meeting was held that led to the establishment of St Paulrsquos The City Hall was made available to this small congregation for its worship The Rt Rev George Washington Doane laid the cornerstone of the present structure on April 22 1834 and on June 1 1835 consecrated the church The influx of industrial and manufacturing businesses during the second half of the 19th century spurred growth both in both the city and the church The zenith was reached for St Paul in 1905 when it was the second largest parish in the diocese and the next thirty years or so saw St Paulrsquos continue to thrive In this lively era St Paulrsquos initially established three missions The first named St Johnrsquos was located in the lower part of the city according to the Rector of St Paulrsquos It began sometime in 1850 and 1851 as a Sunday School Mission and by 1852 was admitted into union with the Convention It grew rapidly and became with St Paulrsquos one of Camdenrsquos two strongest Episcopal Churches The second St Jamesrsquo was located in North Camden at Coopers Point while the third St Stephenrsquos was located on 11th and Cooper Streets Each of these was established as a Sunday School ministry The strategy at that time appears to have been to start Mission Sunday Schools at appropriate locations and eventually develop them into mission chapels This strategy was successful both in the city and a few decades later in the ministry to the Pines The Dean of the Burlington Convocation reported in 1892 that St James had acquired a building for services while the Bishop mentioned that the cornerstone of St Jamesrsquo Chapel was laid by the rector of St Paulrsquos in October of 1881 There is confusion regarding congregations named ldquoSt Jamesrdquo In the ldquoSt Paulrsquos Helperrdquo of November 1891 we find the following ldquoSt Jamesrsquo Chapel inherits its title from a Mission of the same name started about fifteen years ago by the Rev [T]heophilus [M]axwell Reilly a former rector of St Johnrsquos Church but at that time without charge of a parishrdquo The first services were in a private dwelling at the corner of Fourth and Vine Streets It later moved to a vacant store at Second and Main Streets The location was unsuitable and the ministry was abandoned after two or three years It appears that the St Jamesrsquo that acquired a building in 1892 is the second congregation of that name and the one St Paulrsquos Helper reports as the inheritor of the title By 1917 the St Jamesrsquo Mission ended and the property at Front and North Streets was sold In addition to these strong missions there was mention of a mission in 1841 located in North Cramer Hill

In 1886 the rector of St Paulrsquos mentioned two new works or missions

Historiographer continued St Wilfrid Mission Chapel of Cramer Hill and St Paul Mission Chapel location not given St Wilfrid Chapel was less than a year old and in September of 1885 Bishop Scarborough held the first service there By 1887 St Wilfridrsquos was no longer connected with St Paulrsquos Parish but the latter had opened a new mission somewhere in North Camden Bishop Scarboroughrsquos report to the Convention of 1897 told of a recently erected substantial stone Church a mission of St Paulrsquos now called St Stephenrsquos It too grew steadily and by 1907 reported 152 families and parts of families However by 1926 at a Parish meeting the church voted to close and sell its property and the 1927 Convention declared it to be extinct There was a conflict between the Diocese and St Paulrsquos as to the ownership of the property Evidently it took some years to straighten out the problem but St Stephenrsquos was once again declared extinct by the 1947 Convention Funds from the sale of St Stephenrsquos were still in the hands of the Trustees of Church Property There were really two attempts to start St Stephenrsquos The November 1891 edition of St Paulrsquos Helper quoted above also reports the start of a St Paulrsquos Mission Sunday-school in 1866 by the Rev TM Reilly with the assistance of two members of St Johnrsquos Divinity School on South Broadway The Sunday-school started in a dilapidated building at the eastern end of Cooper Street It later moved to Cooper Street above 11th where the stone chapel began St Johnrsquos too was active in spreading the Gospel By 1871 a mission was mentioned in the Stockton area to be known as the Church of Our Saviour and in the appendix to his address of 1872 Bishop Odenheimer reported consent given to the formation of a new parish in Camden called Christ Church The rector in his 1886 report to Convention mentioned four ldquobranch Sunday Schoolsrdquo in outlying districts of Camden that contributed 400 scholars to the 200 at St Johnrsquos The only one identified was St Barnabas Sunday School that was meeting in a frame building The work here began in September of 1885 and met in the old ldquoMyrtle Club Houserdquo located on the southwest corner of Second and Clinton Streets (3rd Ward) The following December a temporary frame building was built on four lots totaling 80rsquo by 105rsquo on Washington Street west of Third and one month later January 31886 Sunday Services were begun there The lots cost $3200 $1200 of which was donated by the rector and the building cost $1050 $600 of which also was donated by the rector In 1891 the daily Eucharist was instituted

and the mission placed under the jurisdiction of St Andrewrsquos Church Records in the Diocesan Archives show that St Barnabas apparently was absorbed by St Andrewrsquos sometime in 1895 St Andrewrsquos Sunday school in the 5th Ward was located at 233 Kaighn Avenue starting in September of 1885 So rapid was the growth that in a few weeks it was necessary to rent the 3rd floor at 249 Kaighn Avenue (Gourrsquos Hall) A year later a structure was erected on Third Street below Kaighn Avenue and was first occupied about November 1 1886 Sunday Services began in January of 1887 On May 1 1889 St Andrewrsquos became an independent parish The brief history of the St Andrewrsquos found in the Bicentennial History of our Diocese Forward With Christrdquo (1885) clearly indicates that todayrsquos congregation was not a continuance of a previous St Andrewrsquos but apparently was unaware of its existence It is interesting to note that both St Stephenrsquos and St Andrewrsquos existed and were named after previously failed congregations In the same year plus a month after the start of both Barnabas and Andrew October of 1885 St Agnesrsquo Sunday school began at 318 Spruce Street but soon moved to 239 Pine Street Lay readers met the needs of this Sunday school that was seen as an extension of the St Johnrsquos Sunday school In the 7th Ward in the month of October 1885 St Maryrsquos Sunday school began operation at 714 Spruce Street and shortly later moved to 619 Spruce Street Due to a lack of proper quarters the ministry ended on October 18 1891 The last outreach of venerable St Johnrsquos was that of St Augustine It was formed about June 1 1888 and located at 744 Chestnut Street a former school house Although Sunday afternoon services were begun that August Morning and Evenings Services and an afternoon Sunday school began in earnest about June 1 1889 The cornerstone was laid at the corner of Ninth and Sycamore Streets on August 7 1899 The expansion of Highway I-676 caused the temporary merger with St Johnrsquos and shortly after St Augustine purchased the property of St Johnrsquos and became sole occupants of that old and venerable building One of the lessons taught by the history of the Church in Camden is that small beginnings often lead to large results The use of empty buildings for Sunday schools allowed the sponsoring congregations to spend their money on program and not on buildings In addition the strong emphasis on Sunday schooling at times led to the establishment of congregations

as the adults followed the children This lesson learned over a century ago just may be a lesson whose time has come again The Sunday schools of the 19th century were invariably formed and led by lay people another lesson that stands repeating Hopefully another ldquoGolden Agerdquo for the Episcopal Church in Camden is on the near horizon

Insurance Committee

The Insurance Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey met twice during 2008 At its September meeting the Committee voted to accept the following three renewals for the calendar year 2009 1) Life insurance through the Church Medical Trust with no rate change over 2008 2) Medical Insurance - a choice of six plans through the Church Medical Trust with an 8 rate increase for all plans except the CIGNA Pos plan for which there was a 3 decrease from 2008 rates and 3) Dental Insurance through Delta Dental with no rate change over 2008 Two other decisions of note were made by the committee The committee voted to continue in-force the Standard Prescription drug plan coverage offered by the Church Medical Trust The decision not to change to the Premium Plan was based on the fact that currently 85 of Medical Trust participants have the Standard Plan and that switching to the Premium Plan would involve an additional cost of $10single and $23family per month The committee also voted to continue the Delta Dental Plan for 2009 instead of changing to that offered by the Church Medical Trust even though billing would be simplified by having all three insurance plans (life medical and dental) billed through the Church Medical Trust The reason for not changing at this time was the additional cost of the Church Medical Trust=s PPO plan with Orthodontia which the committee felt would be an unwelcome burden for many smaller parishes and the fact that the Church Medical Trust plan has a smaller provider network than the Delta plan The committee agreed that an actuarial study of deferred benefit obligations relating to health insurance for retired clergy and their widows was not the responsibility of the Insurance Committee

Loan and Grant Committee

The Loan and Grant Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey functions under Canons 20 and 21 of our Diocese It members are appointed annually by our Bishop The Committeersquos mission is to empower the congregations of our Diocese to undertake with the help of loans or grants building replacement or repair projects which they would not be able to undertake on their own Loans may be recommended by the Committee subject to the approval of Diocesan Council which serves as the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the Capital and Revolving Loan Fund and the R Bowden Shepherd Loan Fund Applicant churches must fill out the two page application form and include all the extra documents specified on the form which is available from the Finance Office at Diocesan House and include the plan for repayment of any loan Grants may be considered only for Mission churches which must also submit the application form and satisfactory supporting documents Once an application for a grant is deemed to be complete by the Loan amp Grant Committee (which is not the same thing as being approved) the application is forwarded to the Board of Missions for its consideration As part of its evaluation of the grant request the Board of Missions evaluates the stewardship and evangelism activities and plans of the applicant mission church If the Board of Missions endorses the grant application it is then considered by the Loan and Grant Committee If

the grant application is endorsed by the Loan and Grant Committee it then goes to Diocesan Council for its consideration Any grants are made only from the Capital and Revolving Fund (Canon 21 Section 2) ldquono grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Conventionrdquo Loan applications from mission churches must also have been endorsed by the Board of Missions before being considered by the Loan and Grant Committee Applicant churches whether Missions or Independent Parishes are advised to recognize the time involved in this process and to read the application and need for supporting documents carefully and preferably to consult with the Chair of the Loan amp Grant Committee before proceeding Typically a capital campaign is needed to underwrite a loan so a church seeking a loan is advised to consult both with the Chair of this Committee and with the Stewardship Committee of our Diocese and with the Committee on Church Architecture (if appropriate) Loans from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund are by canon set at 5 and are only given to ldquomissions and assisted parishesrdquo Loans from the Capital amp Revolving Fund are interest free by canon and are available by canon to ldquoparishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jerseyrdquo It has been the policy of the Loan and Grant Committee in recent years to give such interest-free loans from this Fund to parishes only as bridge loans in the case of applicant parishes which would be waiting to receive reimbursement from the New Jersey Historic Trust (which requires recipients to pay contractors submit receipted bills and wait for State reimbursement) The Committee has had a satisfactory recent experience with a one year ldquoballoon noterdquo to Christ Church Middletown for this purpose (which was repaid in a very timely manner) and authorized another such loan in 2008 (as noted below) In recent years the Committee has only made loans to missions from the Capital amp Revolving Fund as a ldquoblended loanrdquo with half of the principal coming from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund for a blended rate of 2 frac12 which means that mission churches with loans would always get a lower interest rate than Independent Parishes This has been a successful approach Loans from the Venture in Mission Fund are for Independent Parishes The interest rate must range between 4 and 12 (in accordance with canon) and is set by Diocesan Council upon the recommendation of the Loan and Grant Committee The current rate for new loans is 5

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 178

Loan and Grant Committee continued

Payments on loans are usually made monthly and for a total amount and length of time as set by the Committee The Committee always reserves the right to reject loan or grant applications The Committee meets on demand and preferably at the applicant church so as to see the project under consideration The Chair calls the applicant church to discern possible meeting times and then sets the day and time so as to ensure the greatest possible attendance by members of the Committee (In the interests of time more than one application may be considered at a meeting so it is not always the case that the Committee sees every proposal in person though that is ideal) In all cases principal and interest payments on loans go back into the respective fund(s) from which the loans were drawn thus making possible future loans for churches In addition income from the balances not currently loaned out within each fund are reinvested in the respective fund Several years ago the Committee realized that many missions are unable to afford to take out loans (especially those which are already having their operating budgets subsidized) but that they may have property repairreplacement needs which could be addressed by the ability of the Committee to recommend grants for capital purposes The Committee felt that this is especially appropriate since all buildings of mission churches are diocesan properties and our Diocese has a responsibility for their care The Committee therefore began considering grant applications under the process outlined above The Committee increasingly realized that some of the applications involved ldquoemergenciesrdquo which could have been anticipated had a systematic review of the properties been undertaken and the Committee also became concerned about how many potentially hazardous situations might exist in buildings of mission churches without the diocesan office (and perhaps the priest and people of the churches) being aware of them (I myself once lived in a vicarage which had a dangerously substandard wiring which no one knew about until the church hired an electrical inspector at my urging) The Committee then started to require that any mission church receiving a grant have a full professional inspection of its buildings (paid for by a small grant from the Capital and Revolving Fund) before the actual work for the grant be done In one case this resulted in the discovery of a carbon monoxide leak in a building if that buildingrsquos window door and insulation leaks been remedied before the carbon monoxide was checked the results could have been lethal

Loan and Grant Committee continued The Committee then proposed to Diocesan Council that there be full professional inspections of all the buildings of mission churches the expenses (which have ranged anywhere from about $500 to about $3600 and typically have been $1-2000) to be covered by small grants from the Capital and Revolving Fund The Committee assured Council that there was plenty of money in the Capital and Revolving Fund to pay for such inspections given that mission churches rarely are able to afford to take out loans the Fund has typically been less than half loaned out and that seemed unlikely to change The Committee also urged Council approval of this project because all of these buildings are owned by our Diocese and as such our Diocese has both a moral and a legal obligation to attend to matters of safety and care of the people and clergy of these churches which by definition have more limited financial resources than most Independent Parishes A systematic inspection program would also mean that all needs would be examined and considered at once instead of just those churches most aware of the diocesan processes or those with the most obvious problems being served first The Committee proposed and Council adopted a plan whereby small grants for the inspections would be ldquofast-trackedrdquo instead of each grant needing Council approval (as is otherwise always the case) the program was approved and the Board of Missions and diocesan Staff could work with the congregations and professional building inspectors to implement the program and the Committee would reimburse the costs of the inspections While there have been a few urgent grant requests approved while this program was underway the over-all intention was to have all of the mission churchesrsquo buildings inspected the reports analyzed and a systematic and strategic response developed to the needs which would then be evident This has now begun on January 21 2009 Lee Powers Canon to the Ordinary and Deborah Crall Assistant to the Canon to the Ordinary submitted a substantial report to the Trustees of Church properties with summaries of the inspection reports from our mission churches The Loan and Grant Committee thanks them both for their diligent and detailed work and looks forward to doing what the Committee can to help once the results are analyzed and a plan developed Especially in this year of severely stretched parochial and diocesan financial resources due to the severe recession it is crucial that the funds overseen by the Loan amp Grant Committee be available to respond to urgent safety-related repairs and other needs of our mission churches through the grants program from the Capital amp Revolving Fund

On June 12 the Committee endorsed a bridge loan for one year at no interest from the Capital amp Revolving Fund of up to $150000 to St Stephenrsquos Church Beverly due one year from the date of draw down contingent on St Stephenrsquos receiving the matching grant from the New Jersey Historic Trust for which it was applying and on the bond for financial officers of the parish be raised by $150000 before the loan is drawn down It is anticipated that this loan would be drawn down in 2009

At the same meeting the Committee endorsed a grant of $6800 for emergency repairs to the steps and landing outside one of the exit doors to St Albanrsquos New Brunswick

The problem was in the professional inspectorrsquos report on the building In the light of the then-impending leadership transition at the church the Committee endorsed having the Diocese contract directly with the contractor The grant to this mission church had been previously endorsed by the Board of Missions

At the same meeting the Committee voted to have ldquothe three most recent Parochial Reportsrdquo replace ldquothe most recent Church Report datardquo on its application form (since our Diocese no longer subscribes to the Church Report data) and add to the requirements listed on its application form that ldquotreasurers of all congregations must be bonded for the full financial assets of the applicant church including any proposed loansrdquo The Committee also heard an update on the church inspections program and on the status of loans including two that were seriously in arrears

New Jersey Diocesan Chaplaincy Elizabeth Federal Detention Center continued

We visit with pray with and teach from two to thirty-two non-criminal detainees each week The work is difficult as it is in the highest restricted area of any Federal prison in the US yet it is not actually a prison but is called a detention center Entrance is through a series of locked doors and gates and body searches are conducted on the chaplains before they are admitted Several of the detainees are under threat of death from parties in their originating countries so we cannot disclose their identities at any time All visits are on weekday nights from 7 PM until 10 PM and are held in the Indoor Recreation Center Prior to our coming to the Center in the year 2000 several attempts at suicide were carried out one leading to a fatality Since our Diocesan involvement we have not been apprised of any such occurrences in our eight years there Some detainees were quite depressed but now we offer a time of consolation study singing and prayer encouraging the attendees to supply each part of the service they are willing to do We have had times of great camaraderie as we support small Bible and prayer groups inside the dormitories through our efforts and materials The original ministry was funded by the Episcopal Development Fund formerly called the Presiding Bishops Fund that funded the effort at $40000 in 2000 The current budget from the Diocese of New Jersey is only $4000 but helps us buy materials without any remuneration for the chaplains We do need to increase this as we occasionally need supply persons who have been cleared by the FBI a very lengthy process We are very grateful for the support the Diocese gives us to keep the detainees supplied with Bibles and meditative study materials in over three dozen languages and trust the support will continue and increase to meet the growing needs we have The Rev Joseph R Parrish Jr Rector St Johns Elizabeth

The reliance of the Diocesan House Staff for data and information from the archives has grown tremendously It has included lengthy and detailed informational reports on various parishes data from census reports and projections over the next two decades Research requests have increased greatly as Staff members find a need to find information on various committees and funds

Many of our publications can be found on the Diocesan Website under Archives Cynthia McFarland Canon for Communications has been of invaluable assistance and we are grateful for her dedication to the archives Janice M Gay of Williamsburg Virginia donated original sermons of the Rev Thomas Tanser an important 19th century New Jersey cleric Such donationsgifts are enormously important for the health of your Archives Your archives suffers from insufficient funding especially in the area of the purchase of books pamphlets and paper ephemera that comes on the auction market for a short time and is part and parcel of our diocesan history We are collecting the writings of clergylaity who have been influential in our diocese and this requires additional funding The archives would be enormously grateful for contributions that would allow us to make the occasional purchase that becomes available I wish to thank Deacon Mary Ann Jensen Paula Morgan and Carol Bishop for their untiring efforts to make your history available to this and future generations In addition I wish to thank Bishop Councell and the various Staff members for their support and encouragement (The Rev Canon) Laurence D Fish Registrar

Standing Commission on Clerical Compensation continued

The Canons of the Diocese direct the Commission to submit a report to the Convention each year on compliance with all compensation guidelines The report on clerical compensation is due in the Diocese by March 1st of each year We sincerely thank the parishes who send their reports on time but there are a number of parishes that are consistently late It is a time consuming and unnecessary process for Commission members to contact delinquent parishes Any church having trouble completing the forms should contact a Commission member The number of churches returning their compensation reports is dropping We have no way of knowing if this means more and more churches are no longer paying their clergy the canonical minimums or if they think that completing the forms take too much time In any case it is a bad sign I do want to thank St Johnrsquos Little Silver for being the first to return their 2009 report At last yearrsquos convention Bishop Councell asked the Commission to study develop and make a sabbatical policy recommendation to the Standing Committee for full-time clergy residing in the Diocese At first the lay members were skeptical since sabbaticals are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request In our deliberations we looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church We feel our draft policy is fair both to the clergy and to congregations (see the attached draft policy) While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit we believe the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future This is my last year serving on the Commission I want to thank all of the current members for their hard work this past year I have had the

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons 2009 Document 7

Introduction

In addition to matters carried over from last year the Committee reviewed requests for changes in the constitution and canons of the diocese Proposals affecting voting rights in Convention are presented first If passed they will go into effect immediately enabling those affected to vote at this Convention

Part I Constitution Article II Section 2

Diocesan Convention 2008 passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are

not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Amendments to the diocesan Constitution are governed by Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution

Any proposed amendment to this Constitution which may be approved by a majority vote at any meeting of the Convention shall lay over to the next annual meeting It shall then be acted upon and if approved by a Vote by Orders shall become a part of this Constitution As explained in last years Report Episcopal Church Canons provide in Canon III102 for either occasional or extended service in Episcopal congregations with the approval of the diocesan bishop by clergypersons who have been ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church In addition to ELCA clergy the canons list of such churches includes the dioceses and provinces in communion with the See of Canterbury the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar If this proposed constitutional amendment is approved at this meeting the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons will propose the canonical amendment in Part II of this Report in order to implement the change in voting rights It should be noted that the Revd Elmer L Sullivan has submitted to the Committee a proposal to amend the Diocesan Constitution as regarding voting rights of ELCA clergy (but not of clergy of other churches in communion with TEC) who may be serving Episcopal congregations in the diocese which proposal is included in Part X of this Report Whether or not the implementing resolution of this Part I is passed Fr Sullivans proposal can be considered independently thereafter The Committee therefore moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution I Resolved That the new fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey as authorized by the 224th Convention of the Diocese be approved by this 225th Convention The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Part II

Canon 2 Section 1 Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention Should any dispute arise as to the status of any member of the clergy it shall be referred to a special committee appointed by the President which shall report on each case immediately and the action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session If the Part I proposed amendment to the Constitution is approved at this convention a canonical amendment will be necessary in order to implement voting rights for members of the clergy serving in the diocese who are ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Episcopal Church Canon III102 sets forth generally the requirements to be met before an Episcopal bishop can certify a priest or deacon from such a church to officiate occasionally or for an extended period of time in an Episcopal congregation as well as requirements for reception into The Episcopal Church The Principles for the Orderly Exchange of Pastors and Priests issued by the Episcopal Church Office for Ministry Development with respect to clergy ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America notes that in order to serve as rector of an Episcopal parish an ELCA priest must first be received into TEC thus relinquishing membership in the ELCA and becoming canonically resident in the Diocese Such reception is not necessary however for a clergyperson to serve an Episcopal congregation as vicar curate on-going supply pastor interim assistant or pastor-in-charge for a specified term under a contractual arrangement It is in these capacities then that an ELCA clergyperson or a clergyperson from another church in communion with TEC might possibly be given voting rights

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 213

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued For priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly if the resolution in Part I of this report is passed the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution II Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Part III

Constitution Article VII Section 1 Dr Jim Sullivan has proposed the lifting of a restriction on reelection to the Standing Committee by those members elected to fill a partial term Article VII Section 1 of the Constitution provides in pertinent part

the successors of those whose terms expire as aforesaid shall be elected for a term of four years No members elected by the Convention shall be eligible to succeed themselves

Section 3 of the same Article provides

The Standing Committee shall have power to fill vacancies which may occur in their own body or in any body elected or appointed by

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 214

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Convention until the next annual meeting of Convention unless otherwise provided for by articles of this Constitution Canons adopted thereunder or special acts taken by Convention When a vacancy occurs the Standing Committee can fill the vacancy until the next Convention at which time the Convention elects a member to fill the unexpired portion of the four-year term Under Section 1 such persons are not eligible to be elected to a full term upon the expiration of the partial term This limitation does not exist for the Diocesan Council Canon 19 Section 2(a) provides in pertinent part

Members elected by the Convention for a full term shall not be eligible to succeed themselves Vacancies among the members elected by the Convention created by death resignation removal incapacity deposition ordination of a lay member or removal from the Diocese may be filled by the Council until the next annual meeting of the Convention Thus members of Diocesan Council completing a partial term are eligible for election to a full term Dr Sullivan proposes that this rule be extended to the Standing Committee as well The Committee recommends against such a change The Standing Committee is a much smaller body than Diocesan Council eight members as opposed to eighteen voting members plus bishops and nonvoting members and its members serve for terms of four years rather than three Giving any one member of the Standing Committee the possibility of extended tenure beyond four years opens the possibility of undue influence on the other members In addition since the primary purpose of Standing Committees is to serve as a council of advice to the Bishop we feel that adding a fresh voice every year is better for diocesan administration To implement Dr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution III Resolved That the fifth sentence of Sec-tion 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (added language underlined) No members elected by the Convention for a full term shall be eligible to succeed themselves

References to The Episcopal Church Numerous references are made in our diocesan canons to the national Episcopal Church or to national Canons Chancellor John Wood Goldsack has objected to such terminology on grounds that The Episcopal Church is a province not limited to the geographic territory of the United States of America but includes Haiti the Convocation of American Churches in Europe Taiwan and dioceses in Ecuador Honduras Colombia Venezuela and the Dominican Republic He has requested that such canonical references be amended to refer simply to The Episcopal Church The Committee has no objection to such amendments and accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution IV Resolved That the following Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline) Canon 14 Section 1 second sentence The purpose of the Budget is to enable the Diocese to carry on ministries provide support to the Diocesan Congregations meet its obligation to the national The Episcopal Church and finance its administration Canon 16 Section 1(a) A tithe which shall be ten percent of each Diocesan Congregations Income Base shall be requested to support the basic obligations of the Diocese which shall include the cost of supporting the Bishop the diocesan staff and facilities legal and insurance requirements direct support payments to mission congre-gations funding for social and ethnic ministries gatherings in the Diocese and of the church and an amount equal to a tithe of total Fair Share Pledges to the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (the National The Episcopal Church) Each Diocesan Congregation shall pay its tithe unless for good cause prevented Canon 16 Section 1(b) second sentence Such mission and ministry shall include all programmatic activities and ministries that are not included in Section 1(a) support for the development of clergy the amount by which the asking from the national church The Episcopal

Convention SECTION 3 At said annual meeting the qualified voters shall elect by ballot by a majority of the votes cast to serve for the ensuing year from among the voters in the Parish three Deputies and three alternate Deputies to the Diocesan Convention and a Warden or Wardens who shall all be communicants in good standing and also such other Members of the Vestry and other officers as may be provided for by the Charter of the Parish who shall be communicants if such suitable for the office can be found The date of the annual meeting of congregations is generally set by their incorporation papers Some colonial parishes had charters providing for a meeting during Easter week During much of the twentieth century New Jersey statute required the meeting date to be during the first week of Advent And some parishes have meetings as late as February Some of those congregations holding elections just before Diocesan Convention have adopted a practice of electing Deputies and Alternates for the next following Convention so that the meeting of February 2008 elected Deputies and Alternates for the present Convention held February 27-28 2009 While this practice allows parish representatives to receive preconvention mailings which begin in August and to partici-pate in preconvention meetings which this year start on February 3 it is contrary to the terms of the canons requirement of election to serve for the ensuing year Annual meetings of congregations serve other purposes than the election of Convention Deputies Often congregations are informed of parish finances including past results and future budgets and these kinds of information are generally not available until around the end of the calendar year While it makes some sense to allow for advance election of the congregations election of its representatives to Convention in a manner allowing them to participate in the nomination process and other preconvention activities the Committee believes that the current mailings to Deputy 1 etc at the churchs address is sufficient to inform deputies once elected and that changing the current system to allow advance election would introduce too much variation in election practice that could lead to further administrative confusion If a particular congregation feels prejudiced by holding its annual meeting in February it can change the date by amending its certificate of incorporation The Committee therefore moves the following resolution

Part VIII

Constitution Article II Section 2 First Paragraph The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote He notes that no canon has been adopted since this constitutional text came into effect that gives seat and vote to Bishops Suffragan or Coadjutor and proposes that their right to vote be placed in the Constitution Prior to 1996 however this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention Prior to that change retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit was given seat and vote by acclamation at the opening of each Convention The Diocese of New Jersey has had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention The Committee notes that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons The Committee accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Part X Constitution Article II Section 2 Paragraph 4

As noted in Part I of this Report last years Convention passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon Fr Elmer L Sullivan has found this language possibly confusing and has voiced to the Committee objections as to its approval at last years Convention and he has proposed an alternate constitutional amendment to deal with voting rights of ELCA clergy also to be inserted as (or replace if Part I of this Report is implemented) the fourth paragraph of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that it is inadequate for several reasons First of all it is limited in scope to ELCA clergy only and does not apply to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (noted in Part I) Secondly it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time This is inconsistent with the fully interchangeable status of clergy entailed by the Concordat as adopted by TEC and under the regulations set forth in TEC Canons Thirdly it

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 222

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

proposes to adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) Finally it includes a purported blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese (Article VII of the Constitution provides that clerical members [of the Standing Committee] must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention) It is poor drafting to place a specific disqualification from an office in a separate article from the general qualification for that office It is questionable whether such a disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy If Convention so decides however the Committee feels that such qualifications as pertain to eligibility for election to the Standing Committee be placed in Article VII of the Constitution rather than in Article II Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolu tion X Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends against the adoption of this implementing resolution

Conclusion The Committee has received no further proposals for consideration this year other than two timely proposals as to which the proposer needs to consult other bodies and which may if not withdrawn be contained in a Supplemental Report of this Committee The Committee reminds members of Convention that proposals for amendments to the

Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

Submitted by The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

Statement by the Proposer The first sentence of Article II Section 2 as it now stands is printed below The Bishop and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote It provides for the Bishop of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention and permits other bishops to have a seat and vote only to the extent provided by canon The only other bishops to whom this would apply are bishops coadjutor and bishops suffragan Oddly there is no canon at present that provides seats and votes to such bishops They used to be included in Article II but they were removed from it in 1995 and no canon has been adopted to fill the gap

Perhaps the reason for this neglect is that the Diocese has not had a bishop suffragan or a bishop coadjutor in the interim However this omission should be corrected and the best time to do it is when no election is in the offing

Bishops suffragan and coadjutor should certainly have a seat and vote in the Convention and they hold leadership positions of such importance

that it is appropriate to provide for this in the Constitution Therefore it is proposed that the first sentence of Article II Section 2 be amended by substitution as follows

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there Be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any shall each have a seat and vote

A Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution Submitted by

The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

It is proposed that Article II Section 2 of the Constitution be amended by adding a new fourth sentence as follows (replacing the fourth sentence now printed there in italic) The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

Statement by the Proposer The purpose of this amendment is to provide in a Simple and direct way for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) who serve a congregation of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention The means employed is the list of voting clergy drawn up by the Bishop in accordance with Canon 2

You will notice that this status is conferred at the discretion of the Bishop Different dioceses and different bishops have different opinions on this subject It is a point on which reasonable people can and do differ and it is a matter with many facets still unsettled Our present Bishop favors it Thus the proposed amendment is drafted in such a way that the he will be able to administer the legislation at his discretion whatever the future may bring You will also notice that the proposed amendment specifies that ELCA clergy are not eligible to serve on the Standing Committee Without such a provision they would be eligible because the only qualification for clerical members of the Standing Committee set forth in Article VII of the

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 225

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment Constitution is that they must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention Because this is part of the Constitution only another part of the Constitution can countermand it Such a safeguard is important because the Standing Committee can under some Circumstances become the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese Moreover because canonical residency is a requirement for holding most other offices in the Diocese it seems inconsistent to permit ELCA clergy (who cannot be canonically resident) to serve on the Standing Committee when they are not eligible for most other offices

The 2008 Amendment Should Be Abandoned This proposed amendment is intended to replace an amendment adopted on first reading at the 2008 Convention Both the content of the 2008 amendment and the process by which it was adopted were seriously flawed and for that reason it should be abandoned Discussion of that point follows below

The Wording of the 2008 Amendment is Too Broad

The impetus for legislation on this subject is the Concordat agreed to by The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the ELCA and the presence of ELCA clergy serving congregations in the Diocese There is no need to make this legislation so broad that it includes clergy of the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar (as the 2008 amendment does) We do not have a Concordat with these Churches nor do their clergy serve congregations In our Diocese nor Is this likely to happen As for clergy of other provinces of the Anglican Communion extensive Provision is made for them to be received into our Church in TEC Canons Title III Canon 10 Sections 1 and 2 There is no need for local canons on this subject nor is there any need for the 2008 amendment to be worded so broadly as to include all [m]embers of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Moreover the canonical amendment proposed by the Committee on Constitution and Canons limits the scope of the legislation to clergy who are serving as vicars within the Diocese However when you consider the fact that Episcopal Church Canons specifically prohibit clergy of other Anglican provinces to take charge of any congregation unless they present Letters Dimissory and become canonically resident it becomes apparent that such clergy must come in through the canonical residency

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 226

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment door and that the attempt of the Committee to include them in a different way is pointless

The Process Was Seriously Flawed At the 2008 Convention the Committee on Constitution and Canons proposed the following amendment of Article II Section 2 and it was represented as being a proposal of the Committee Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

This version of the proposed amendment was reckless because it opened the door for future action that would make hundreds of clergy around the world eligible to have a seat and vote in our Diocesan Convention - an idea that is unsound to say the least This fault was noted by a member of the Convention who offered from the floor an amendment by substitution that narrowed the scope of the proposal to clergy who are serving parishes in this Diocese at least half time with the consent of the bishop (sic) Another amendment by substitution was then offered by a member of the Committee on Constitution and Canons who advised [that it] had been previously approved by members of the Committee In the midst of this confusion the Convention adopted the substitute amendment of the substitute amendment Its text appears below Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Conclusion

The simple fact is that whether clergy vote or not depends on whether they are canonically resident or not Period How when why and by whom members of the clergy were ordained has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not they vote It is pointless and confusing to introduce that topic into legislation about clergy voting ELCA clergy serving in the Diocese are the only exception and it is an exception Voting rights extended to them are based not on canonical residency but on the

In addition to other matters contained in the Committees main Report for 2009 Document 7 there were timely submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Those proposals are now contained in this Supplemental Report

Part XI Canon 21 Section 2

Fr Sullivan has proposed three amendments to Canon 21 which governs several diocesan loan funds These are set forth in Parts XI and XII of this report Section 2 of Canon 21 governs the Capital and Revolving Fund

SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated bequeathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Con-vention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by

resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually His first proposal is to add language to the fifth sentence as follows

No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention His concern is to avoid depleting the capital of the Fund due to grants made in excess of the Funds income Year Income Grants Made Assets as of Jan 1 2004 2277 31295 572417 2005 8604 11555 541256 2006 15881 20000 538305 2007 11402 45615 534987 2008 4359 32412 500174 Assets as of June 30 2008 471946 2008 figures are for the first six months of the year only Limiting annual grants to $10000 unless Convention otherwise specifically directs argues Fr Sullivan will help to stabilize the Fund and protect its capital for future years His second proposal is to amend the third sentence of the section as follows

The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention Again the object is to limit grants to capital improvements consistent with the name of the Fund and not to support operating budgets of congregations

The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that

the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of this Fund by limiting its scope If the Trustees believe that loans in excess of these guidelines are warranted in specific cases either as to amount or as to purposes it is always within their discretion to apply to the Convention for permission to make such loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XI Resolved That Section 2 of Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (insertions shown by underline) SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated be-queathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Convention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually

Loans in Default

SECTION 5 When any church or other entity that has borrowed funds in accordance with the provisions of this Canon shall fall behind in its repayment obligation the Diocesan Council may renegotiate the terms of the loan but any such renegotiation must remain within the limitations prescribed in this Canon When a loan has been delinquent for five years it shall be deemed to be in default provided however that the Diocesan Council may acting in its discretion declare a delinquent borrower to be in default before the end of such five-year period When a loan is in default the principal and interest due to the issuing loan fund shall be repaid (a) from the assets of the borrower or (b) from properly approved appropriations from the income or appropriate loan funds of the Diocese or (c) from moneys allocated in the operating budget of the Diocese or (d) some combination of the foregoing sources as may be approved by Diocesan Council

The problem of defaulted loans has become quite serious The Auditors report for fiscal year 2007 refers to delinquent loans as doubtful accounts and sets the then amount thereof at $250203 In some cases no payment has been made by the borrowers for more than five years The proposal supplies authorization for the Diocesan Council as trustees of these funds to pursue methods of recovering capital trust assets that are now in jeopardy and possibly avoid such problems in the future The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of the Diocesan Trust Funds by giving Diocesan Council tools to obtain repayment of delinquent loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XII Resolved That Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended by adding a new Section 5 to read as follows

and the Diocese Proceeds from the sale of goods enable the shop to make significant contributions to the Cathedral The Dean Adams Memorial Gardens received a major facelift in 2008 We are greatly indebted to Bob Prouty Steve Simonson Sue Remmers the children of the Sunday School and the Altar Guild Shop for making this possible

I want to thank the Staff for their herculean efforts in 2008 ndash Deborah Ford Choir Director Patrice DrsquoAngelo Cathedral Administrator and Al Shaw Sexton Unfortunately we could not afford to retain the services of Fern Harhay and she was laid off June 1 2008 Steve Simonson was unable to pass the Black Seal License requirements and combined with very poor attendance in the latter part of 2008 was dismissed as of the end of 2008

Faith sharing small groups and the development and the unveiling of the Natural Church Development plan was a major part of our work in 2008 We would like to form more of faith sharing small groups in 2009 and we invite more persons to inquire and consider being a part of this aspect of our ministry at Trinity Cathedral Our Natural Church Development plan seeks to equip us to be more welcoming We are also very pleased to have made available a selection of books to all interested persons in Synod Hall Please make use of this facility as we seek to learn ways to better evangelize

The Episcopal Church defines the five marks of mission as-

1 Spread the Good News 2 Baptize new believers 3 Alleviate human suffering 4 Work to transform unjust structures 5 Care for the earth

I would like to propose that along with our Diocesan Vision of Spiritual Renewal we would focus on these marks of mission as we continue our journey from survival to celebration The Very Rev Reneacute John Dean Trinity Cathedral January 2009

Trinity Cathedral Financial Situation

As we embark on 2009 the Cathedralrsquos financial picture might seem better than it really is We end up 2008 with over $20000 in cash and with booked net income exceeding $60000 The difference between the booked number and the available cash is that in early 2008 we needed to satisfy unpaid bills booked in 2007 Also what appears to be a positive performance is misleading because it includes over $85000 withdrawn from investments during the first half of the year to pay accrued expenses However on a truly positive note we were blessed by a wonderful $70000 gift from Dr Phil Lewis late in the year This plus a couple of bequests during 2008 allowed us to end up in the black

Our unrestricted investment fund has shrunk to $70000 and that is the degree of the deficit in our 2009 budget We do have some cash though as we begin the year which should allow us to gear up some additional fundraising efforts to make up the shortfall

Factors key to the deficit budget this year include the fact that income is by comparison down significantly due to current market economics the reduced basis of remaining investments and no immediate prospect of a single large special gift Furthermore we will no longer be able to rely upon investments to shore up shortfalls as has been the case for almost three decades So the expense budget has been carefully pared to the minimum practical level

Our stewardship has been good We expect to see nearly a 10 increase in pledged commitments but given the overwhelming expenses - most of which are not discretionary ndash we need all of the external help we can get The Diocese and the Bishop have been very helpful however even with that assistance plus our increased pledging and excellent fundraising efforts we will fall short of meeting our needs This may well be the year for some very tough decisions

We did receive a court decision during 2008 which permits a 6 12 payout from the Dean Adams Trust rather than the historical 5 Yet due to the declines in the market that merely prevents further negative impact The chart below presents a high level view of the circumstances

Urban Ministry is Revitalized

On September 20 2008 the Urban Ministry had their first Workshop in years To say the workshop was productive is an understatement With over 30 committed attendees from more than seven churches from around the state the group gathered together to figure out what they can do to address the issues of the churches in the Urban areas The Guest Speaker and Facilitator of the Workshop was Nell Braxton Gibson Coordinator of the Episcopal Urban Caucus and an Activist of equality in all facets for many years

The group succeeded in getting a preempt to a Mission Statement after a lengthy overview The Mission Statement will temporarily read rdquoShare the gospel with all those who live and work in cities by preaching teaching advocating and empowering in a spirit of inclusivenessrdquo

The group discussed how systemic change is a major key in making and leading in urban ministry incorporating their mission statement as the actions of the committee As the dialog progressed the group discovered that many of the same community necessities were desired with no difference to the area there urban communities were located Church sizes from 75-600 connected through the very comparable liabilities in there surrounding neighborhoods

The Ministry appointed specific duties to members of the caucus proving that the meeting was fruitful and evolving on all levels The discussion of meeting more recently to get the Ministry back in full operation again was agreed upon by all parties involved The commitment level was very high which prove to be quite advantageous to the entire group In all it was an afternoon of discovery learning solidarity and compassion for solving the issues that plague all urban community churches

Some of the concerns highlighted for immediate attention were Alcoholism Drug Abuse Homelessness Mental Illness Affordable Housing and Hunger At the upcoming meeting the team will discuss and hopefully implement ideas and projects to initiate rescuing the urban communities of these problems

December 2008 In the December meeting Ms Clara Gregory reached out to resources in the state government of New Jersey and invited Ms Sarah Kleinman Coordinator of HIV Prevention for the New Jersey Department of Education who spoke to the group on the continuing need for education about the AIDS epidemic We agreed to follow up by sending an information packet to each of the congregations within the diocese informing of nearby resources and ways to get involved The Rev Jarrett Kerbel was also an invited speaker he is the Executive Director of Crisis

Report of the Treasurer to the 225th Diocesan Convention

To Clergy Lay Deputies and Alternates to the 225th Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey From Reginald Whitman Treasurer

Dear Friends This memorandum accompanies the Revised Preliminary Diocesan Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and the Proposed Preliminary Diocesan Budget for FY 2010 supporting the mission and ministry of the Diocese of New Jersey for the next two years which I am submitting for your consideration on behalf of Bishop Councell the Diocesan Council the Finance and Budget Committee and the financial offices of the Diocese The 2009 Budget Congregational Fair Share pledges are projected to be approximately 12 or $359000 less than in FY 2008 83 of pledges received are at 100 of the asking above or equal to FY 2008 17 of pledges received were reduced compared to last year including five of the top ten parishes when measured by parish income 50 parishes (31) have not yet filed a pledge for which $358000 ie their FY 2008 Fair Share giving is estimated to be their Fair Share Pledge for FY 2009 Trust income is projected to be down by about 83 or $57000 compared to FY 2008 actual Bishop Romerorsquos compensation will be supported entirely by donated restricted funds Those financial needs which exceed the normal income are being funded by working surpluses from prior years in the amount of $400000 and potentially and to a lesser extent from growth monies in the Harriet Procter Matthews (HPM) Fund by an amount up to $120000 but only if necessary If we use HPM Fund growth monies we intend to repay the Fund as reflected in the 2010 Preliminary Budget After considering the above total income for budgeting purposes is down approximately 3 from FY 2008 to FY 2009

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 242

Financials Exhibit I continued

Primary consideration has been given to funding the priorities enunciated by Bishop Councell

The Staff should be kept intact and compensated in accordance with mandated COLA increases

Trinity Cathedral commitment must be maintained at the same level as last year

The Episcopal Church asking to be 100 funded Diocesan program elements must be respected and

funded as completely as possible Commitments to retired clergy widowswidowers and

orphans are to be honored in full Our missionary zeal should be continued and our

Millennium Development Goal obligations should be met

Key elements of the expense budget include

Funding the Board of Missions asking (line 10) budgeted in full

The Episcopal Church asking (line 20) is funded 100 Trinity Cathedral (line 40) is funded at 2008 level even

though needs are much higher The Right Onward Visioning process (line 60) is funded

to enable an exciting year of activity Diocesan programs will continue with some cutbacks in

several areas Local program ministry grants are reduced to $10000

(line 120 amp121) Second alternate deputies to General Convention (line

412) will not be funded The diocesan Staff is treated as per the Bishoprsquos

request (lines 600 ndash 694) The only new senior Staff position added since 2004

Director of Communications is reduced to 13rd time in 2009 (line 660) This is necessary in order to contain expenses and is agreeable to the Communications Director

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 243

Financials Exhibit I continued

The Assistant Bishop (line 610) is to be funded entirely

by designated funds in 2009 leaving a balance that would fund less than one-half of the position in 2010

All retired clergy and widowwidower funding (line 730 amp 731) is intact

The Preliminary 2010 Budget The preliminary FY 2010 budget includes the revenue that would be available if every congregation is able to commit to the full amount of their pledge for 2010 As in the past this approach allows us to hold the budget up as a vision of the kind of mission and ministry that we can accomplish together if the resources are available to support it Available working surplus would not need to be used The preliminary FY 2010 budget supports all of the diocesan program allocation and other needs submitted for FY 2010 including increases in many instances The 2010 preliminary budget includes the repayment of any 2009 withdrawals that may have been made from the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies (line 702) The following increases and new allocations could be supported if congregations pledge the full Fair Share amount

Trinity Cathedral a 13rd increase (line 40) Local Ministry Grants increased funding (line 120-121) Multicultural Ministry Development (line 206) Director of Communications at 100 (line 660) Addition to administrative Staff (line 680) Capital campaign funding allocation (line 712a)

In Conclusion The current economic crisis may not be overcome in one yearone budget We therefore propose to use a portion of the available working surpluses from prior years and some of the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies in order to afford the Bishop and diocesan leaders the time to think and pray and plan and act to re-structure our Diocese in a way that more realistically matches our resources These are rainy days for which we have saved ldquoRainy Dayrdquo funds On the other hand we must not and we will not exhaust all of our funds so that they remain to be used for mission by future generations

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Audit Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey Administrative Offices ofthe Diocese of New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Administrative Offices of the Diocese of New Jersey (the Diocese) as of December 31 2007 and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended These financial statements are the responsibility of the Dioceses management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Dioceses 2006 financial statements and in our report dated December 17 2007 we elipressed a qualified opinion on those financial statements

We condllcted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as weI as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion

As explained in ilOte K to the financial statements the Diocese has not implemented Statements of Financial Standards (SFASH) Nos 106 and 132 Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions and Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that SFAS Nos l06 and 132 be followed when applicable It was not practicable to determine the effects of the unrecorded cost and disclosure requirements of post-retirement benefits on the fmancial statements

In our opinion except for the effects of not recording the cost of post-retirement benefits the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Diocese of New Jersey as of December 31 2007 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generslly accepted in the United States ofAmerica

Whereas those Committee members met with The Right Reverend Wilfrido Ramos Bishop of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and with members of the Companion Diocese Committee of the Diocese of Ecuador Central and had a full discussion of matters spiritual and temporal regarding a companion diocese relationship between the two Dioceses and

Whereas the aforesaid Committee members also visited parishes and schools throughout the Diocese of Ecuador Central and were warmly received throughout said Diocese and

Section B - 81

Convention Minutes continued

resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009 TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theological education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further Resolved That said funds be administered and distributed to needy seminarians through the existing Scholarship Program of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) said Society having an established record of 151 years of experience in administering scholarship grants to Episcopal seminarians and be it further Resolved That the General Convention direct SIM to report annually to the Executive Council on this work and its effectiveness in meeting the needs of the future ordained leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution

EXPLANATION The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median postgraduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic

years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

the sacredness of Godrsquos creation of spreading hope about Godrsquos reconciling work in creation and an under-standing of environmental stewardship and ecological justice and be it further

Resolved That the General Convention direct the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to develop prayers and other liturgical materials celebrating a Pentecost Season Creation Cycle for inclusion in the next edition of the Book of Occasional Services and that it report its work to the 77th General Convention

EXPLANATION God the Creator has made the universe with all its marvelous order its atoms planets galaxies and the Earth with its infinite complexity of living creatures Our Gracious God has filled all living creatures with plenteousness and generativity and has blessed human beings with the task of the stewardship of the creation upon Earth Traditional Anglicanism has observed the beauty of the Creation over the centuries by celebrating the octave of Rogation and has commended this practice in its foundational documents and continuing liturgical traditions Since 1991 many Episcopal Churches in the United States have celebrated a Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season to honor God the Creator with worship music and praise for these gifts of life This practice has spread to churches and cathedrals in the Episcopal Church and also to Australia where it has become a national religious observance In June of 2008 the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams joined ecumenical leaders in England in calling for the celebrating of a liturgical period annually in all churches of the United Kingdom to be dedicated to prayer for the protection of Creation and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles that reverse our contribution to climate change In affirming the Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season the Episcopal Church would be taking leadership in the Anglican Communion in the promotion of this important liturgical innovation

Be It Resolved That the 225th Annual Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey submit the following resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009

TITLE Affirming the Canonical Process

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention affirm the canonical commitment to full access by members of this Church to the discernment process for any ministry lay or ordained (Canon III 12ndash3) and be it further

Resolved That this Convention affirm the existing canonical process for the election consents and ordination of a bishop in this Church in which the Christ-centered manner of life of candidates and later bishops-elect is tested by the theological moral and psychological concerns of this Church understanding that determination of the appropriateness of such election and subsequent consents and ordination includes concerns for the challenges such election may present to members of this church or of other churches in the Anglican Communion and be it further

Resolved That this Convention continue its pledge to engage in a process of healing and reconciliation with member churches of the Anglican Communion who have declared themselves in a state of impaired communion with this Church and be it further

Resolved That the content of this resolution supersede the content of Resolution B033 of the 75th General Convention

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III Canon 1 Section 2) Resolutions such as B033 and its extra-canonical restraints are non-binding resolutions are strong recommendations A recommendation that is in

Section B - 93

Convention Minutes continued

are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request The Commission looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church and it developed a Draft Sabbatical Leave Policy for information and discussion which is contained in the Commissions written Report Document 10 that they felt is fair both to the clergy and to congregations While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit the Commission believes that the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future As this is Mr Nelsonrsquos last year on the commission he thanked all of the current members for their hard work this past year He has had the pleasure of serving with wonderful dedicated people both lay and clergy during his many years on the Commission He has enjoyed coming to this convention to see many old friends from the past He asked that you keep individuals serving on the commission in your prayers because their work is vitally important to the well-being of the diocese Budget Mr Reginald Whitman Treasurer of the Diocese referred deputies to Financials Exhibit I The Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 and Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the adoption of the Revised Preliminary Budget for 2009 The motion was passed On behalf of the Finance and Budget Committee Diocesan Council and the Financial Office of the Diocese Mr Whitman moved the Proposed Preliminary Budget for 2010 The motion was passed

Fair Share Partners The Rev Philip Kasey Chair of the Fair Share Committee noted that one investment where the results have been consistently strong is the investment wersquove all made in our church Our church is alive and well the Body of Christ fully functioning faithfully using all the gifts we can gather Our parents invested in it and our children will be able to invest in it Our grandparents invested in it and it will still be here for our grandchildren to invest in it Itrsquos been here and it will be here Somehow the Body of Christ never finds a way to stop growing Father Kasey asked deputies to consider investing heavily today and every day In these times of economic calamity he asked everyone to go back to their vestries and encourage them to join by investing in our diocese The budget we just passed the one with the huge deficit in it What could be better than to surprise Bishop Councell by shrinking that deficit By investing more money than we think is reasonable in our diocese Letrsquos free up some of those bad investments and back a sure thing for a change Itrsquos really the only reasonable way to deal with times of great trial To put our faith in what has brought us through every other trial wersquove ever been through Our church Bishop Councell wants to create some jobs but since theyrsquore non-paying jobs that are going to take people away from the ministry theyrsquore already doing I want to put those men and women out of work before they even get started These people are the yet-to-be named members of what Irsquom going to call the Triage Task Force mdash a brain trust to be given the task of finding out how to cut at least half a million dollars out of the 2010 budget Do you really want less help with filling vacancies in your parishes and missions when your priest retires or answers another call Do you really want to cut back on administrative and Episcopal assistance available to Bishop Councell Is that what we want him to have returned from sabbatical for Less help Maybe yoursquod rather even less communication than we can afford now or to take a swipe at the budget of our amazing Youth Ministry If so then let this group convene Let whoever these people are going to be leaving their productive ministries aside for a few months so they can come together in Trenton to go to work with scissors and sharp pencils Father Kasey noted that he would rather invest in our church than work on diminishing it Itrsquos the one investment opportunity where past

performance really does serve as a reliable predictor of future results Because rather than the wild fluctuations of the financial markets your investment in our church fluctuates in a very predictable way Life Death Resurrection No itrsquos not win-win but that loss in the middle is fully redeemable So letrsquos surprise Bishop Councell and keep him smiling and invest as heavily as we possibly can more even ask for even more than you already have As Paul says to the Galatians ldquoUse your freedom to serve one another in love mdash thatrsquos how freedom growsrdquo Not by fearfully embracing apparent scarcity and anxiety but by foolishly faithfully investing in Resurrection Rather than mourning our losses now is the chance for us brothers and sisters fellow fools in Christ to shore up the very foundation we stand on and invest in following the footsteps of our Lord who in his mercy makes New Jersey new Right onward revive us again Anti-Racism Commission The Rev Terrence Rosheuvel Chair reported that the Anti-Racism Commission continues to be guided by the vision adopted in 2001 The Commission oversaw development and activities of the Anti-Racism Team (ART) and organized anti-racism training events introductory parish and search committee training within the diocese as well as offering training to Diocesan executive staff officials elected to leading commissions and committees in the diocese and candidates in the School for Deacons Father Rosheuvel encouraged everyone to make a personal commitment to end the sin of racism in our diocese He invited deputies to visit the Commissionrsquos booth in the exhibit area He thanked Bishop Councell for his support of the Commission Property Matters Canon John Wood Goldsack Esq Chancellor reported on issues surrounding church property The Constitution and Canons as well as New Jersey Statutes specify certain actions regarding property For example mortgaging selling or leasing property for more than one year requires the consent of the Bishop and Standing Committee He warned of litigation in cases where this consent was not given Standing Committee meets monthly except July and August so vestries contemplating such transactions should plan accordingly Two documents are on the Diocesan website regarding leasing property

be developed to assist in expanding Hispanic and other cultural ministries In 2007 Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 Truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 Assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 Assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches that are bringing the Good News of Christ to their communities and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches Assistance in the amount of $318523 was granted to mission churches in 2008 The list is available in the Board of Missions Report to Convention Document 17 Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons Paul Ambos Esq Chair of the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons presented Part II of the report With the passage on second reading of the Constitutional amendment allowing for voting rights for certain clergy of other denominations to the extent provided by canon an appropriate amendment to the canons is called for Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention

action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session He explained that for priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly he moved the following Implementing Resolution II on behalf of the Committee Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

The Diocesan Youth Commission Council shall be entitled to seat voice and vote at Diocesan Convention The Youth Commission Council shall elect three persons who are at least 16 years of age and who are communicants in good standing of a parish within the Diocese to serve as deputies to Diocesan Convention The President and Secretary of the Youth Commission Co-Chairs of the Youth Council or the Director of Youth Ministry shall certify the election of the deputies to the Secretary of Diocesan Convention

Section B - 104

Convention Minutes continued

Section 3 of Canon 49 which governs the election of parish officers including Deputies and Alternates to Diocesan Convention The canon requires election of officers to serve for a year following the annual meeting but some congregations have been electing Deputies and Alternates to serve for the second following Diocesan Convention The Committee drafted an amendment to legitimize such a procedure but recommended against its adoption because it is unnecessary If a congregation feels that its annual meeting is too close to the next Diocesan Convention it can change the date of its meeting Accordingly Mr Ambos moved Implementing Resolution VI Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 49 Section 3 be amended by adding the following sentence

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence a congregation whose annual meeting is held between the First Sunday in Advent and the opening of the annual meeting of the Diocesan Convention may provide by bylaw for the election at its meeting of Deputies and alternate Deputies to the second following Diocesan Convention rather than the immediately following Diocesan Convention

The resolution was defeated Mr Ambos presented Part VII of the report concerning matters carried over from prior years as to which no action was necessary Mr Ambos presented Part VIII of the report a proposal to amend the first paragraph of Constitution Article II Section 2 to return the provisions governing the vote of bishops from the Canons to the Diocesan Constitution The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote

Prior to 1996 this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

Section B - 105

Convention Minutes continued

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention The Diocese had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 the only person to whom the change had been applied was retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit Fr Sullivans proposal is contained in Document 7A Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention Mr Ambos noted that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Sylvestre Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons Accordingly on behalf of the Committee he moved Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Fr Sullivans rationale for this proposal is set forth also in Document 7A The Committee has reviewed this proposal and recommends against its adoption because (a) it applies only to ELCA clergy only and not to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (b) it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time (c) it would adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) and (d) it includes a blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese in the voting-qualification Article of the Constitution rather than in the Article specifying qualifications for office for Standing Committee The Committee questions whether this last disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy Accordingly the Committee has proposed Implementing Resolution X to enact Fr Sullivans proposal which Mr Ambos moved on behalf of the Committee noting the Committees recommendation that it be defeated Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

The resolution was defeated Mr Ambos noted that in addition to other matters contained in the Committees main Report for 2009 Document 7 there were timely

submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Since Document 7 had been printed when Fr Sullivan had asked that these proposals be reported out they are contained in the Committees Supplementary Report Document 7B as Parts XI and XII of the Committees report Part XI deals with limiting the amount and purposes permitted for loans made from the Capital and Revolving Fund under Canon 21 sect 2 and Part XII would add a new Canon 21 sect 5 to address defaults in loans made by any of the several diocesan loan funds covered by that Canon At this point Bishop Councell as President of Convention referred Parts XI and XII of the Supplementary Report back to the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons for further consideration to report back to the 226th Annual Convention

On November 1 2007 the Rector and Wardens of St Georgersquos Church Helmetta New Jersey advised Bishop Councell that they had voted to withdraw from the Diocese of New Jersey and The Episcopal Church On November 19 2007 Bishop Councell went to St Georgersquos and met with the Rector Wardens Vestrymen and parishioners and found that no one from the parish desired to continue a relationship with the Diocese or The Episcopal Church Since that time no services have been held nor officers elected in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey The former parish of St Georgersquos acknowledges that the parish property was held in trust for the benefit of the Diocese and The Episcopal Church Bishop Councell and the Standing Committee of the Diocese continue in conversation to determine how best all issues can be resolved pastorally recognizing and respecting the faith and rights of all concerned Canon Goldsack s Resolution was seconded and passed Bishop Councell asked the members of Convention to keep our brothers and sisters of St Georgersquos Helmetta in their prayers Crisis Ministry Bishop Councell introduced the Rev W Jarrett Kerbel Executive Director of Crisis Ministry who grew up in New Jersey in Christ Church New Brunswick His mother is Deacon Carol Kerbel He followed his motherrsquos footsteps into ordained ministry and also followed her into the position at Crisis Ministry Crisis Ministry is a ministry of Trinity Church Princeton and the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton as well as 59 other congregations in Mercer County For almost 30 years Crisis Ministry has been serving the most vulnerable in the community They are now the largest food pantry and largest homeless prevention agency in Mercer County In October 2008 the food pantry assisted 1450 families In 2008 they helped 748 families with homelessness prevention This is a tragic success A crisis that has lasted 30 years is no longer a crisis It is the world as it is Charity is a failed strategy The Gospel is lived in solidarity with the poor or it is not lived at all The job of the church is to lead the world from where it is to where it should be The Church has not done its job Father Kerbel who spends most of his time in Trenton could give a tour of all the empty buildings of the mainline denominations in Trenton These abandoned buildings represent the systematic disinvestment of the church in urban areas We have walked away from the urban world We fled and then we called those days our glory years The suburban

The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey February 27 2009

My dear friends in Christ I have been to the mountain top On Monday morning November 10 2008 I arrived at Gilmanrsquos Point the second highest peak on Mt Kilimanjaro the highest mountain on the continent of Africa For a little while I stood on ldquothe roof of Africardquo Getting there wasnrsquot easy and it wasnrsquot pretty But it was glorious I made it by the grace of God in the strength of your prayers and with the help of my hiking partner Deacon Dan Fowler and our Tanzanian guides So I begin this my Sixth Address to the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey with a word of profound thanks to Bishop Romero and the diocesan Staff to the Standing Committee to all of you and to our entire community Thank you for the extraordinary privilege of a sabbatical leave from this office and ministry from mid-October through mid-January Not all of it was as demanding and dramatic as the ascent of Kilimanjaro I also beheld in awesome wonder many other glories of Godrsquos creation in the national parks in that region of Tanzania Later I walked a small section of the pilgrimage route in northern Spain known as the Camino that leads to Santiago de Compostela Hiking the Camino so late in the year proved to be more adventure than I was prepared for so I altered my plans I took the bus But in the end I found Jesus present in the Sacrament exposed in a rather plain side chapel of the Cathedral set apart from the excessive ornamentation of the shrine of St James In the stillness and silence I was blessed I returned home and enjoyed several weeks of reading reflection and rest I celebrated a Christmas with my family unlike any other Christmas in 33 years of ordained ministry Godrsquos grace worked through this sabbatical to refresh my soul renew my vocation and restore my health It was good to lay down for a time what St Paul refers to as his ldquoanxiety for all the churchesrdquo (II Cor 1128) But it is very good to be back I love Jesus I love Jersey and I love being a bishop in this Diocese this Church and Communion at this time I am back and I am stoked My feelings are captured in the words of a young African pastor who wrote ldquoI wonrsquot give up shut up let up until I have stayed up stored up prayed up paid up preached up for the cause of Christ I am a disciple of Jesus I must go till He comes give till I drop preach till all know and work till He stops me And when He comes He will have no problem recognizing mehelliprdquo That is how I intend to serve till He tells me to stop

Last Sunday we heard the story of the mountain-top experience of Peter James and John ndash known as the Transfiguration of our Lord (Mark 9 2-8 Matt 171-8 Luke 928-36) Now some New Testament commentators argue that the Transfiguration is really a resurrection account that in the course of the transmission of the Gospel migrated from the end to the middle of the story They call it a ldquomisplaced resurrection storyrdquo Whether or not that is a defensible thesis I leave to the scholars But I think itrsquos a perfectly wonderful job description for the Church ldquoJob Number One be a misplaced resurrection storyrdquo The back story is that the so-called sovereigns did their worst on Friday but on Sunday God did His best and a dead man walked out of the tomb and showed his sad weak and frightened friends that the real victory belonged to the real God ndash the God who makes everything glorious From the first light of dawn that day they were so out of their minds with love for Jesus and so stoked with fire of His love they just couldnrsquot be calmed or contained or reasoned with They were so totally in love with Jesus there was no other life to live no other sovereign to serve They had nothing to lose They had already received everything that they needed ldquoYou can have all this worldrdquo they said ldquoGive me Jesusrdquo They woke up every morning and went about living Jesusrsquo life doing Easter stuff and showing the world that He rules And when the lordlets of this world came down on Jesusrsquo friends they didnrsquot feel the nails didnrsquot even see the lions They just kept singing those Easter hymns kept on being a misplaced resurrection appearance They would not be changed There was a man living in a poor neighborhood in a city He pretty much kept to himself But everyday at 300 in the afternoon he would emerge from his apartment walk out into the street and shout ldquoJustice peace reconciliationrdquo Every day like clockwork Finally one of his neighbors got weary of it and confronted him ldquoMan you got to stop this Are you crazy Donrsquot you know you canrsquot change the worldrdquo ldquoMaybe yoursquore rightrdquo said the man ldquoMaybe I canrsquot change the world But I can keep the world from changing merdquo Can we keep the world from changing us changing the agenda of our lives ndash given to us at baptism Can we stay on the job being a misplaced resurrection appearance in the middle of this story Or will we be persuaded to tone it down give it a rest go back inside close the doors of the church and play it safe Are we afraid This is indeed a most challenging time in which you and I are called to bear witness to Christ and to lead our churches and our Diocese in Christrsquos ministry Watching the staggering economic

Section B - 117

Bishoprsquos Address continued developments over the past several months I was reminded of an essay by CS Lewis that was published during World War II and entitled ldquoLearning in Wartimerdquo In it he wrote If you have not directly lost a loved one but rather find yourself dazed shaken and fearful God is saying to you ldquoWake up to your need for me and up to what real security is No military power or technology or human factor can make you safe Only in the very center of my will is there any safety You donrsquot have the human ability to control things You need merdquo If we had foolish hopes about human culture they are now shattered If we thought we were building up a heaven on earth if we looked for something that would turn the present world from a place of pilgrimage into a permanent city satisfying the soulhellip we are disillusioned and not a moment too soon In ordinary times only the wise realize it Now the stupidest of us knows it Now we are hurting right along with the world Our people are losing jobs and savings and homes or are worried about all of that And poor and vulnerable people are even worse off Our churches schools seminaries and outreach programs are all weakened by declines in the value of their assets The neighborhoods where many of our people live and work and worship are in serious decline There is a lot of fear and a world of hurt The most natural thing in the world is to draw back and hold on to what wersquove got But I say to you today this is our moment to be that misplaced resurrection appearance We are a called people We are to walk in the light of the resurrection We know the end of this story We know that wherever the bottom is we cannot fall beyond the reach of our Lord He will raise us up He makes everything glorious That is what he does And we belong to Him So what does that make us We are the preview of coming attractions a dress rehearsal for the coming kingdom That is what we do Who we are shouts so loudly the world cannot hear what we are saying (Emerson) Biographers say that the best way to get to know ndash really know ndash their subject is to have her or his check book and appointment book So what do the budget and the business of this great Diocese of New Jersey tell us First things first We are going right onward with sacrificial giving and leadership for the wider mission of our Church The proposed budget

calls for the funding of the full asking (215) for The Episcopal Church provides 07 of our income for the Millennium Development Goals meets the full request of the Board of Missions for funding our own mission churches continues to support our Cathedral and has many other features that commend it I hope that you will adopt it It must be said however that in order to fund this budget and its outreach we propose to take a significant proportion of our audited surpluses from previous years and some accumulated earnings from one of our endowments This is a rainy day We are blessed to have these resources to help to get through this year But we need the leadership of what I will call a Task Force on Restructure to examine the options of how we shall do mission together in what most people think will be the lean years ahead I am happy to announce that Ms Kathy OrsquoHagan of St Mark and All Saintsrsquo Galloway and the Rev Jack Zamboni of St Francisrsquo Dunellen have accepted my appointment to serve as Co-Chairs of this body I will ask that they report to Diocesan Council in the fall so that their recommendations will help to shape our budgeting for 2010 and beyond Meanwhile our Staff and diocesan leaders are actively working to decrease our expenses For example this is the last Convention for which Deputies will receive materials in hard copy via surface mail All registration and pre-Convention materials will be sent electronically We are achieving savings in most every expense line in the budget Here I have the honor to recognize Reg Whitman Senior Warden of St Georgersquos-by-the-River Rumson who has just completed his first year as diocesan Treasurer What a year it has been And in case you wondered Reg is standing for election for a second term Well done faithful one and thank you on behalf of a very very grateful Diocese and Bishop Looking beyond the budget what does our diocesan program tell us about who we are Well to borrow a title from the Rev Greg Bezilla our Chaplain to Rutgers University and a leader in the movement to invite more young people to consider a vocation to ordained ministry we are a Church of passion and purpose We need both of course We see plenty of passion around us but to no apparent purpose or to purposes that are not worthy of the Gospel But in the Church we see much that is purposeful (or dutiful at least) but lacking the passion that makes the Churchrsquos mission lively and engaging

But look at whatrsquos new in New Jersey a Diocese of passion and purpose A ldquoPassion and Purposerdquo Sunday is proposed to be observed on the Third Sunday of Easter April 26 2009 On that day I urge all the clergy to offer preaching teaching testimony and theological reflection on the subject of vocation to the end that youth and young adults are invited to consider a vocation to ordained ministry and everyone is put in mind that their vocation is ldquothe place where your deep gladness and the worldrsquos deep hunger meetrdquo (Frederick Buechner Wishful Thinking A Theological ABC) Lord grant us passion and purpose A new effort to reach out to young adults is underway I know that you will join me in refusing to surrender to the notion that we simply have nothing to hold the attention of young adults from the day after their Confirmation until they are married with children Fr Bezilla and others have better ideas Support them Better yet join them Lord grant us passion and purpose What passion and purpose may be seen in the ongoing life of our Cathedral They continue to serve our Diocese with grace and strength and deep faith in the provision of our God I thank Dean Rene John for his leadership along with that of the Wardens Chapter and Staff Miracles are happening there Lord thank you for passion and purpose I call upon us to rejoice in the growth of so many other congregations across our Diocese including our ministries among Latino people and two churches that will be recognized by this meeting St Peterrsquos Igbo Church Trenton and Christ the King Willingboro We are a growing Church in many places We are trying to grow in most places

Lord thank you for passion and purpose

Someone who has helped us to grow and helped us to recruit support and retain healthy clergy leadership over the past eight and a half years is the Rev Canon Elizabeth R Geitz Canon Geitz has resigned her position effective in May in order to relocate and to explore new ministries We can all be very grateful for the countless ways she has

enriched and strengthened the ministries of this Diocese We thank you dear Elizabeth Lord thank you for her passion and purpose We have a new Companion Diocese The Rev Canon Servio Moscoso and the Companion Diocese Committee oversaw a gracious conclusion to our nine-year relationship with the Diocese of El Salvador and have helped us to enter into a new companionship with the Diocese of Ecuador Central That diocese will soon receive a new bishop to be elected by our House of Bishops next month One of the nominees is our own Canon Moscoso I ask your prayers for the Diocese facing many difficult challenges and for Servio and Angela

Lord grant them passion and purpose Among other new programs initiated in the past year are the formation of a Committee led by the Rev Dr Hugh Brown Rector of All Saintsrsquo Princeton to help our Diocese respond to the needs of the victims of genocide in Darfur a Committee led by the Rev Deacon Johnine Byrer to coordinate and expand our ministries among the incarcerated a new campus ministry at The College of New Jersey established through the efforts of the Rev Lisa Caton and a reconstituted and revitalized Stewardship Commission under the direction of Charles Perfater Treasurer of our Cathedral and Executive Coordinator of Province II Faithful financial stewardship remains a challenge for us in this Diocese I know of many faithful and effective clergy and lay leaders who are often feel profoundly discouraged that there is not more sacrificial giving of money for the mission of our churches I remind us that the tithe is the minimum standard of giving in this Church Ruth and I have been tithers for 35 years or more We have never claimed that it makes better than anyone else only that it makes us more grateful for all that we have been given by God Stewardship is all that we are and all that we have all of the time There is no spiritual renewal without a new joy in giving I challenge us all to discover the joy of sacrificial giving not because the Church has needs but because we need to give And for this dear Lord grant us passion and purpose All this and Canon Cynthia McFarland is back We give thanks for her restored health and for her renewed ministry as Communications Director I regret that this position was reduced to part-time Canon McFarland will focus on our website and electronic communications See our redesigned web page at newjerseyanglicanorg

vision They proposed that we concentrate on five initiatives one each year for five years In 2008 they promoted a variety of programs to help and inspire congregations to embrace the first initiative ldquogrowth through welcoming and inclusionrdquo This year we are being asked to focus on spiritual renewal where our vision is to ldquosee people of all ages being transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ into His discipleshelliprdquo How will you and I be transformed by grace in the year ahead If for no other reason than because this is a year that will require many difficult decisions we need to seek the transforming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and other avenues of personal spiritual renewal Revival is not about being ldquoHappy Clappyrdquo in a shallow way and it is not at all about denial of the very real forces that affect our lives and our churches Wherever I have gone in recent years I have tried to mention John 1010 and the abundant life that Jesus points to as the very heart of His mission That is why He came But more recently I have been drawn to another text from John Listen carefully Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground dead to the world it is never any more than a grain of wheat But if it is buried it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over In the same way anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life But if you let go reckless in your love yoursquoll have it forever real and eternal John 12 24-25 in The Message by Eugene Peterson I am persuaded that we as a Church have a lot of letting go and burying to do in order to bear fruit and to come to experience the real eternal and abundant life of Jesus Christ Of course we have genuine worries about not just our diocesan assets but those of our churches particularly the smaller churches set in poorer communities One lay leader asked me just last week ldquoBishop are you going to close our churchrdquo I said ldquoNo but I promise to continue to raise these questions with every congregationrdquo For what purpose do you want to keep the church open and what are you prepared to do in order to support continuing ministry

What shall we as a Diocese do together with you to advance the mission of your church in your community Is God calling you to consolidation reconfiguration merger andor new bold creative arrangements with neighboring churches

Section B - 123

Bishoprsquos Address continued Will you consider that in order to support the mission it may be necessary to close and sell buildings and use those assets in some new ways for the sake of the Gospel I would venture to guess that as many as one-third of our congregations need to look at these and other important questions right now The financial turmoil in our nation has accelerated the urgency of these questions and added to the numbers of congregations that are vulnerable ie no longer able to afford full-time clergy leadership andor no longer able to maintain safe facilities And my friends there is no bail out in the offing But wait herersquos a glimpse of the resurrection for you This weekrsquos mail brought two letters one from the Senior Warden of Christ Church Magnolia the other from Christ Church Collingswood Each letter reports that after an extended period of shared worship program and fellowship the two Vestries voted unanimously to proceed with consolidation of these two congregations ldquoWe recognize the strength to be found in the sharing of our gifts and common liferdquo wrote one These are my heroes I thank them for their faithfulness and that of the Rev Robert J Critelli who gently guided this process Yes we can I am committed to work together with Staff with our congregational development committee and other resource persons and with all the leaders of all these churches to ask the hard questions in the light of John 1224-25 and seek outcomes like this one

My friends we are here to do the business of the Diocese of New Jersey And we will do it in good order to the best of our ability and then go home But let us recognize that the most important thing that we will do in these two days is just this to celebrate and share the abundant life of Jesus Christ For in the Eucharist we receive all the nourishment we need to live Christrsquos life together and go about changing the world for His sake No smaller plans are worthy of Him Yes we are so God-intoxicated as not to be intimidated We know that in the end Jesus wins Life wins Justice peace and reconciliation win This is the victory banquet Then we go forth to fight the battles The outcome is secure Godrsquos promises are sure and certain And when we ldquofeebly strugglerdquo there is a great cloud of witnesses cheering on us on from another shore and a greater light where the resurrection is not misplaced where sorrow and pain are no more neither sighing but only life everlasting All we go down to the dust yet

Anti-Racism Commission

Our Twenty-Year Vision for the Diocese of New Jersey (Adopted by Diocesan Council September 2001)

The Diocese of New Jersey is recognized as a part of the Body of Christ because its congregations joyfully celebrate their anti-racist multicultural embodiment of Christrsquos love The Diocese provides intentional leadership in dismantling racism in the Wider community by modeling the sharing of power and mutual respect among all people at all levels of diocesan life Its mission structures policies and practices are used to perpetuate an anti-racist identity The Diocesersquos anti-racist way of living together through its values of Justice and equality is seen as a model for change and a sign of hope The Anti-Racism Commission continues to be guided by this vision in all its organizing efforts against racism for the diocese In 2008 the Anti-Racism Commission oversaw development and activities of the Anti-Racism Team (ART) and organized anti-racism training events introductory parish and search committee training within the diocese The commission offered anti-racism training to all diocesan executive Staff as well as officials elected to diocesan council standing committee finance and budget committee and other entities the commission also organized anti-racism training which is required for clergy candidates in deacon school To date the Commission has provided a 90-minute workshop to 34 parishes and search committees The Anti-Racism Commission underwent a number of personnel changes during 2008 losing four commission members We welcomed new member replacements and one long-term member returning to the diocese and commission during the last quarter of the year In the fall of 2008 following a team and commission retreat we began a process of team restructuring with the objective of better using the skills and abilities of team members and our resources We adopted and publicized a policy strongly urging that parish search committees be scheduled for the Introductory Anti-Racism Training as soon as possible after they have been established It is also urged that the parish vestries join those trainings We were able to provide training to three search committees and one parish though we were hampered by a lack of qualified trainers for most of the year There were other

search committees to whom we were not able to provide training to due to circumstances in their search process that led to cancellation or

Anti-Racism Report continued

postponement of training We are aggressively addressing the issue of having a fully qualified cadre of multiple training teams ready for assignments in the later half of 2009 During 2008 we sponsored three multi-day workshops to train current and new team members and members of Hispanic congregations in An Introduction to Anti-Racism Analysis and Advanced Anti-Racism Training These trainings help identify candidates to serve as parish trainers who will get more in-depth experience in training platform skills and subject matter content Their preparation also involves observing and assisting in actual search or parish training sessions We discussed with Bishop Councell the concept of having core trainers a full time set of 2-3 people who would work for the diocese to provide the same kind of training we now contract for from Crossroads Subsequently the Commission formed a task force to look into grants and support from foundations for the purpose of training and employing core trainers

We also discussed issues concerning support for Black clergy serving predominantly white parishes We suggested the diocesan deployment office should organize a seminar for Black clergy with their parish vestries The deployment office should facilitate special training to bring out issues initiate a support system and then follow-up with vestries that call clergy who are not white These offerings would be supplemental to the anti-racism training parish search committees receive during their discernment and search process

During a Meeting with Bishop Romero commission members introduced three topics history and an overview of the work of the commission relationship between Black and Latino clergy and how ARC can work with Bishop Romero to accomplish his agenda During the meeting suggestions were made to aid a stronger working relationship between the Anti-Racism Commission and the Hispanic Commission and to further an agenda of cross-cultural understanding throughout the diocese Bishop Romero also encouraged our mutual support of the Cross Cultural Clergy Conference in October 2008 and participation in the newly formed Cross-Cultural Committee he chairs We agreed with his suggestions

We sponsored a presentation at Diocesan House of the documentary video ldquoDominican Identity and Migrations to Hispaniolardquo Professor Nestor Montilla and his assistant who researched and produced the

Audit Committee The Committee engaged Mercadien PC Princeton NJ to audit Diocesan financial statements for 2007 reviewed and approved drafts of such statements and authorized their publication together with the Auditorrsquos Letter The letter included the Auditorrsquos opinion that the Diocesan Statements presented fairly in all material respects the Diocesersquos financial position in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles but was qualified because of one material omission our balance sheet does not include a capitalized liability to quantify the Diocesersquos on-going obligation to pay premiums for health insurance coverage for our retired clergy Such liability cannot be calculated without an actuarial determination of the life expectancy of the insured pool The Committee has agreed to engage a professional actuary to undertake the necessary determinations The Committeersquos objective is to have such work completed no later than at the preparation of the 2009 financials so that an unqualified Auditorrsquos opinion can be achieved thereon

Mercadienrsquos engagement has been renewed for the 2008 audit

A subcommittee of the Audit Committee has been organized to develop and offer training to parishes on financial audit procedures and to support parishes in the formation and implementation of parish audit committees This development is in response to requests for assistance in this connection from attendees at the December 2007 meeting of wardens and parish treasurers so that parishes can come into compliance with National and Diocesan canons for annual financial audits Initially members of the subcommittee which is comprised of volunteers from a diversity of parishes and under the chairmanship of Robert Becker Flemington plan to contact parishes to determine how

Mission assistance In 2007 The Diocesan Council and the Board of Missions agreed on three priorities for mission assistance in the future

1 truly missionary work in developing new congregations or reaching out to new constituencies

2 assisting a formerly vibrant church recover from some recent trauma

3 assisting two or more churches in developing plans for yoking regional ministry or merger

The Board of Missions is considering further restrictions on distributing assistance grants as an overall strategy for supporting the mission of the church is developed The Board of Missions is increasingly seeing its role as supporting those churches who are bringing the Good News of Christ to their community and less as one of supporting social service programs offered by churches In support of the missionary work of some of our mission congregations the following churches received $318523 of mission assistance in 2008

Subject 2009 General Convention Support of Seminarians

Be It Resolved That the Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey join with its Deputies to General Convention in submitting the following resolution for consideration at the 76th General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be held in Anaheim California in July 2009

TITLE Financial Support for Seminarians

Resolved the House of ____________ concurring That the 76th General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance provide funding for the next triennium to underwrite the mounting costs of theo-logical education by providing needs-based scholarships for Episcopal Seminarians and be it further

Committee on Resolutions continued leaders of this Church and that the Executive Council in turn provide a full report to the 77th General

Convention and be it further Resolved That the General Convention request the Joint Standing Committee on Program Budget and Finance to consider a budget allocation in the amounts of $100000 in year one $150000 in year two and $200000 in year three for the implementation of this resolution EXPLANATION

The cost of three years of seminary can range from $51000 to over $100000 depending upon family circumstances and ones choice of seminaries About half of our seminarians struggle under the burden of debt most of which is educational debt The Society for the Increase of the Ministry reported in autumn 2007 that some 42 of the graduating 2008 class will have incurred an estimated indebtedness of $62000 which will amount to about $12000 per year against a median post-graduation income of $45500 SIM also reports a declining enrollment of students in the Master of Divinity degree programs at Episcopal seminaries (a decrease of 25 over the last three academic years) reportedly related to the level of incurred student indebtedness The high cost of seminary education and the threat of debilitating debt limits diversity among our seminary student bodies and limits the placement opportunities for ordinands to those congregations which pay better than others This funding schedule is intended to bring the support from the General Convention budget to a level matching the annual grants committed by SIM ($225000 for the academic year 2008-09)

SUBMITTED BY The Revd Joan MP Anders Chair on behalf of the Diocese of New Jersey Deputation to General Convention Statement in Support of Resolution 2009-1 by Proposers The Episcopal Church is the only major denomination in the United States that does not have a central funding source to support seminarians in their education training and formation The Society for

the Increase of the Ministry (SIM) is an independent non-profit scholarship foundation Most SIM grants are awarded to full-time students who have been granted postulancy by their bishops and who are enrolled in a master of divinity program at the eleven accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church In addition through an Alternative Program SIM grants a limited number of scholarships to postulants meeting the same criteria who are preparing for ordination in the Episcopal Church at alternative educational institutions SIM solicits donations from individuals parishes and dioceses and has received some funding from General Convention within the last forty years The need is great Past General Conventions have passed resolutions encouraging parishes to devote 1 of their net budget income to the support of seminaries of The Episcopal Church but the last reported Parochial Report figures from 1999 demonstrate that such support amounted to only 0027 (barely one quarter of one percent) of the called-for support Had support been sustained at 1 of net budget parish income scholarship funds would have increased substantially and the cost of such education training and formation would have been reduced very significantly and the situation with our seminaries might be quite different The sponsors of this proposal therefore also call upon parishes to consider including funding for SIM in their own budgets The proposed resolution has already been submitted to the General Convention office by individual Deputy Joan MP Anders with the endorsement of Deputies Joan Fleming Noreen Duncan and John Wood Goldsack General Convention rules allow submissions by individual Deputies by Bishops by Dioceses or by Provinces If approved by this 225th Diocesan Convention it will be resubmitted on behalf of the Diocese Recommendation by Committee on Resolutions The Committee makes no recommendation as to this proposal RESOLUTION 2009-2 Subject Liturgical Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season Be it Resolved That the 225th Annual Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey commend to the diocese and congregations the optional celebration of a liturgical Creation Cycle of the Pentecost Season from

EXPLANATION The existing canons of The Episcopal Church are intended to be comprehensive and contain all processes and provisions that are to be used for the discernment of vocation for the episcopate The canons have no restrictions on non-celibate gay and lesbian persons and specifically prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation Therefore B033 contradicts these canons by imposing an extra-canonical restraint (cf Title III Canon 11 and Title III

Darfur Committee

The Diocese of New Jersey and Bishop Councell convened the Darfur Committee to implement resolution 2008-1 of the 2008 Diocesan Convention which charged ldquoThe Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New Jersey to join with the government of the United States the United Nations and a host of other countries organizations and individuals around the world to call and work for an end to the violence in Darfurrdquo and which called the Diocese of New Jersey to establish a committee to ldquostudy the situation in Darfur and provide information to member parishes and others about the crimes against humanity taking place there along with recommendations of actions that can be taken by parishes and individuals to bring these violations and actions to an end at the earliest possible opportunity and to provide support for Darfur refugees and other displaced personsrdquo The Committee met for the first time on February 2 and thus far consists of the following persons appointed by Bishop Councell The Rev Dr Hugh E Brown III Chair the Rev Greg Bezilla the Rev Sharon Sutton the Rev Jane Brady Mr Glendon Bell Mr Matt Bollinger and Ms Allicia Graham The committee begins it work with a desire to study deeply and prayerfully the human rights issues in Darfur and make appropriate recommendations to the diocese for faith-based advocacy from congregations and the wider Diocese and Church But we also desire that the committee address the larger issue of the spiritual foundations for human rights advocacy and how the church effectively addresses issues of social justice and peace-making Darfur which means ldquoland of the furrdquo is an arid and impoverished region of Western Sudan that has faced decades of graphic violence over land and grazing rights between mostly nomadic Arabs and farmers from

native Darfur communities Early in 2003 rebel groups began attacking government targets charging that the region had long been neglected by the Sudanese government based in Khartoum and that the government was using local Arab groups to oppress and destroy black African farmers in favor of Arab nomads

The Sudanese government responded by mobilizing ldquoself-defense militiasrdquo and refugees from Darfur have described government links to a brutal militia movement called the ldquoJanjaweedrdquo accused of trying to ldquocleanserdquo black Africans from large swathes of territory Refugees from Darfur say that following air raids by government aircraft the Janjaweed ride into villages on horses and camels slaughtering men raping women and stealing whatever they can find

The United States government has termed the government response to the Darfur rebellion as genocide even though that term can provoke debate there is no doubt that crimes against humanity have become a staple of life in Darfur and continue as we meet in Convention Millions of civilians have fled their destroyed villages the refugee problem is immense along Western Sudanrsquos borders and United Nations estimates of the dead from the Darfur War total 300000

Although Sudanrsquos President Omar Hassan al-Bashir announced a formal ldquocease-firerdquo in November of this past year and a joint African Union-UN peacekeeping mission Unamid took over in January of this past year from an African peace force the intense violence particularly directed against the civilian population of Darfur continues the International Criminal Court has indicted President Bashir on charges of genocide warm crimes and crimes against humanity

In early February at least 30000 people fled their homes in renewed fighting between the Sudanese government and rebel forces which have now splintered and number in the dozens

This is the context of the Darfur Committeersquos work We also note that violence continues in Southern Sudan as well and the Presiding Bishop has issued a statement calling attention to the atrocities committed by ldquoThe Lordrsquos Resistance Armyrdquo a Ugandan rebel group which continues to terrorize people in the region particularly Christians The Baptismal Covenant in the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States contains an often neglected promise which is a bedrock commitment of our Christian lives ldquoWe will strive for Justice and Peace among All People and respect the dignity of every human being doing so with Godrsquos helprdquo

Diocesan Investment Trust To Shareholders of the Diocesan Investment Trust From The Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust On January 22nd the Trustees of the Diocesan Investment Trust (DIT) met with our two investment managers Legg Mason and Bank of America to review the results for 2008 and discuss strategic directions for 2009 Financial markets around the world both fixed income and equity suffered sharply negative returns last year in almost all asset classes Investor confidence has been badly shaken by consumer credit problems that began with housing related financing and a subsequent migration to other forms of consumer lending The resulting contraction in the consumers ability or willingness to spend has had a very negative impact on almost all business activity both in the United States and elsewhere around the world Within the context of this highly uncertain environment the DIT fared reasonably well when compared to benchmarks but still had a very large negative return The DIT unit value declined a little over 29 as compared with a 37 drop in the Standard amp Poors 500 Index and much larger drops in foreign developed and developing markets Fixed income returns also suffered greatly last year with the exception of US Treasury obligations The DIT starts 2009 with about 62 of its assets in equities and the balance in fixed income assets a mix that the Trustees reaffirmed as appropriate to provide for a combination of income generation and longer term growth However the Trustees recognize that great uncertainty exists about how economic conditions will unfold in 2009 and we will be prepared to adjust the portfolio if it seems justified On that score the current dividend of 175 cents per month or $210 per year for each share now represents a current payout of very close to 6 of the 2008 yearend unit value The Trustees are reluctant at this time to reduce the dividend but we will be monitoring financial market conditions closely over the next few quarters and if further significant deterioration takes place it is likely that we will have to react

The Environmental Commission completed two environmental audits during 2008 one for St Johns Elizabeth and one for Christ Church

Environmental Commission continued Riverton Both churches had formed committees to review the recommendations and carry them forward St Johns reports that its oil budget has dramatically decreased about ten fold partially due to the new 45 degree setbacks for its buildings and partially due to moving its Sunday services to new quarters fashioned from its large Parish Hall Grants are being sought for new energy efficient refrigerators Most bulbs have been changed over to fluorescents with some electric savings although the bulbs are more expensive and will take a bit of time to earn back their cost Christ Church has not yet reported on their progress but their audit was done near the end of 2008 so will take some time to accomplish The Environmental Commission will do a site visit during 2009 to see its progress and have a walk through conducted by GreenFaith The Commission seeks to expand its audits during 2009 with a stronger budget than in 2008 as the savings anticipated for each congregation is quite sizeable and would greatly benefit both the diocese and the congregation Respectfully submitted Joe Parrish Chair

EFM Education for Ministry

The goal of Education for Ministry (EFM) is to prepare adults for Mission and Ministry in the Church While a large chunk of the four year program of study deals with the Scriptures EFM is much more than a mere Bible study it is a way of integrating faith fellowship and theological thinking with the life of the believer Such topics as Old and New Testament Worship Ethics Church History and Modern Theology are important components of the seminar meetings EFM is a program administered through the Seminary of the South in Sewanee Tennessee There are currently five seminar groups with seven mentors and forty-three students that meet in various parishes of the Diocese On April 20th a presentation on Education for Ministry was given for the Woodbury Convocation The result was the formation of a new seminar group which is being mentored by Sister Cassandra Norseworthy Other EFM seminar groups are located at Church of the Atonement Laurel Springs St Peterrsquos Medford Trinity Princeton and Christ Church Toms River

The Episcopal Church in Camden

History reveals the past and the past too often is mourned as the golden era now dead and gone The closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics perhaps unwittingly made the point that when one flame goes out the struggle begins for another flame to burst forth That struggle to bring a future from a dead flame is a lesson our Church could emulate in our cities

The ldquoGolden Agerdquo of the Episcopal Church in Camden began in the year 1830 when the first meeting of a congregation to be called St Paulrsquos was held However there was mention of the Episcopal Church as early as 1820 when on May 21st of that year Bishop Croes preached in the Academy of Camden to the ldquoEpiscopalians and others residing in that villagerdquo

Ten years after Croes characterized Camden as a village it blossomed

into a small city On March 12 1830 the first known meeting was held that led to the establishment of St Paulrsquos The City Hall was made available to this small congregation for its worship The Rt Rev George Washington Doane laid the cornerstone of the present structure on April 22 1834 and on June 1 1835 consecrated the church The influx of industrial and manufacturing businesses during the second half of the 19th century spurred growth both in both the city and the church The zenith was reached for St Paul in 1905 when it was the second largest parish in the diocese and the next thirty years or so saw St Paulrsquos continue to thrive In this lively era St Paulrsquos initially established three missions The first named St Johnrsquos was located in the lower part of the city according to the Rector of St Paulrsquos It began sometime in 1850 and 1851 as a Sunday School Mission and by 1852 was admitted into union with the Convention It grew rapidly and became with St Paulrsquos one of Camdenrsquos two strongest Episcopal Churches The second St Jamesrsquo was located in North Camden at Coopers Point while the third St Stephenrsquos was located on 11th and Cooper Streets Each of these was established as a Sunday School ministry The strategy at that time appears to have been to start Mission Sunday Schools at appropriate locations and eventually develop them into mission chapels This strategy was successful both in the city and a few decades later in the ministry to the Pines The Dean of the Burlington Convocation reported in 1892 that St James had acquired a building for services while the Bishop mentioned that the cornerstone of St Jamesrsquo Chapel was laid by the rector of St Paulrsquos in October of 1881 There is confusion regarding congregations named ldquoSt Jamesrdquo In the ldquoSt Paulrsquos Helperrdquo of November 1891 we find the following ldquoSt Jamesrsquo Chapel inherits its title from a Mission of the same name started about fifteen years ago by the Rev [T]heophilus [M]axwell Reilly a former rector of St Johnrsquos Church but at that time without charge of a parishrdquo The first services were in a private dwelling at the corner of Fourth and Vine Streets It later moved to a vacant store at Second and Main Streets The location was unsuitable and the ministry was abandoned after two or three years It appears that the St Jamesrsquo that acquired a building in 1892 is the second congregation of that name and the one St Paulrsquos Helper reports as the inheritor of the title By 1917 the St Jamesrsquo Mission ended and the property at Front and North Streets was sold In addition to these strong missions there was mention of a mission in 1841 located in North Cramer Hill

In 1886 the rector of St Paulrsquos mentioned two new works or missions

Historiographer continued St Wilfrid Mission Chapel of Cramer Hill and St Paul Mission Chapel location not given St Wilfrid Chapel was less than a year old and in September of 1885 Bishop Scarborough held the first service there By 1887 St Wilfridrsquos was no longer connected with St Paulrsquos Parish but the latter had opened a new mission somewhere in North Camden Bishop Scarboroughrsquos report to the Convention of 1897 told of a recently erected substantial stone Church a mission of St Paulrsquos now called St Stephenrsquos It too grew steadily and by 1907 reported 152 families and parts of families However by 1926 at a Parish meeting the church voted to close and sell its property and the 1927 Convention declared it to be extinct There was a conflict between the Diocese and St Paulrsquos as to the ownership of the property Evidently it took some years to straighten out the problem but St Stephenrsquos was once again declared extinct by the 1947 Convention Funds from the sale of St Stephenrsquos were still in the hands of the Trustees of Church Property There were really two attempts to start St Stephenrsquos The November 1891 edition of St Paulrsquos Helper quoted above also reports the start of a St Paulrsquos Mission Sunday-school in 1866 by the Rev TM Reilly with the assistance of two members of St Johnrsquos Divinity School on South Broadway The Sunday-school started in a dilapidated building at the eastern end of Cooper Street It later moved to Cooper Street above 11th where the stone chapel began St Johnrsquos too was active in spreading the Gospel By 1871 a mission was mentioned in the Stockton area to be known as the Church of Our Saviour and in the appendix to his address of 1872 Bishop Odenheimer reported consent given to the formation of a new parish in Camden called Christ Church The rector in his 1886 report to Convention mentioned four ldquobranch Sunday Schoolsrdquo in outlying districts of Camden that contributed 400 scholars to the 200 at St Johnrsquos The only one identified was St Barnabas Sunday School that was meeting in a frame building The work here began in September of 1885 and met in the old ldquoMyrtle Club Houserdquo located on the southwest corner of Second and Clinton Streets (3rd Ward) The following December a temporary frame building was built on four lots totaling 80rsquo by 105rsquo on Washington Street west of Third and one month later January 31886 Sunday Services were begun there The lots cost $3200 $1200 of which was donated by the rector and the building cost $1050 $600 of which also was donated by the rector In 1891 the daily Eucharist was instituted

and the mission placed under the jurisdiction of St Andrewrsquos Church Records in the Diocesan Archives show that St Barnabas apparently was absorbed by St Andrewrsquos sometime in 1895 St Andrewrsquos Sunday school in the 5th Ward was located at 233 Kaighn Avenue starting in September of 1885 So rapid was the growth that in a few weeks it was necessary to rent the 3rd floor at 249 Kaighn Avenue (Gourrsquos Hall) A year later a structure was erected on Third Street below Kaighn Avenue and was first occupied about November 1 1886 Sunday Services began in January of 1887 On May 1 1889 St Andrewrsquos became an independent parish The brief history of the St Andrewrsquos found in the Bicentennial History of our Diocese Forward With Christrdquo (1885) clearly indicates that todayrsquos congregation was not a continuance of a previous St Andrewrsquos but apparently was unaware of its existence It is interesting to note that both St Stephenrsquos and St Andrewrsquos existed and were named after previously failed congregations In the same year plus a month after the start of both Barnabas and Andrew October of 1885 St Agnesrsquo Sunday school began at 318 Spruce Street but soon moved to 239 Pine Street Lay readers met the needs of this Sunday school that was seen as an extension of the St Johnrsquos Sunday school In the 7th Ward in the month of October 1885 St Maryrsquos Sunday school began operation at 714 Spruce Street and shortly later moved to 619 Spruce Street Due to a lack of proper quarters the ministry ended on October 18 1891 The last outreach of venerable St Johnrsquos was that of St Augustine It was formed about June 1 1888 and located at 744 Chestnut Street a former school house Although Sunday afternoon services were begun that August Morning and Evenings Services and an afternoon Sunday school began in earnest about June 1 1889 The cornerstone was laid at the corner of Ninth and Sycamore Streets on August 7 1899 The expansion of Highway I-676 caused the temporary merger with St Johnrsquos and shortly after St Augustine purchased the property of St Johnrsquos and became sole occupants of that old and venerable building One of the lessons taught by the history of the Church in Camden is that small beginnings often lead to large results The use of empty buildings for Sunday schools allowed the sponsoring congregations to spend their money on program and not on buildings In addition the strong emphasis on Sunday schooling at times led to the establishment of congregations

as the adults followed the children This lesson learned over a century ago just may be a lesson whose time has come again The Sunday schools of the 19th century were invariably formed and led by lay people another lesson that stands repeating Hopefully another ldquoGolden Agerdquo for the Episcopal Church in Camden is on the near horizon

Insurance Committee

The Insurance Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey met twice during 2008 At its September meeting the Committee voted to accept the following three renewals for the calendar year 2009 1) Life insurance through the Church Medical Trust with no rate change over 2008 2) Medical Insurance - a choice of six plans through the Church Medical Trust with an 8 rate increase for all plans except the CIGNA Pos plan for which there was a 3 decrease from 2008 rates and 3) Dental Insurance through Delta Dental with no rate change over 2008 Two other decisions of note were made by the committee The committee voted to continue in-force the Standard Prescription drug plan coverage offered by the Church Medical Trust The decision not to change to the Premium Plan was based on the fact that currently 85 of Medical Trust participants have the Standard Plan and that switching to the Premium Plan would involve an additional cost of $10single and $23family per month The committee also voted to continue the Delta Dental Plan for 2009 instead of changing to that offered by the Church Medical Trust even though billing would be simplified by having all three insurance plans (life medical and dental) billed through the Church Medical Trust The reason for not changing at this time was the additional cost of the Church Medical Trust=s PPO plan with Orthodontia which the committee felt would be an unwelcome burden for many smaller parishes and the fact that the Church Medical Trust plan has a smaller provider network than the Delta plan The committee agreed that an actuarial study of deferred benefit obligations relating to health insurance for retired clergy and their widows was not the responsibility of the Insurance Committee

Loan and Grant Committee

The Loan and Grant Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey functions under Canons 20 and 21 of our Diocese It members are appointed annually by our Bishop The Committeersquos mission is to empower the congregations of our Diocese to undertake with the help of loans or grants building replacement or repair projects which they would not be able to undertake on their own Loans may be recommended by the Committee subject to the approval of Diocesan Council which serves as the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the officers and trustees of The Venture in Mission Loan Fund the Capital and Revolving Loan Fund and the R Bowden Shepherd Loan Fund Applicant churches must fill out the two page application form and include all the extra documents specified on the form which is available from the Finance Office at Diocesan House and include the plan for repayment of any loan Grants may be considered only for Mission churches which must also submit the application form and satisfactory supporting documents Once an application for a grant is deemed to be complete by the Loan amp Grant Committee (which is not the same thing as being approved) the application is forwarded to the Board of Missions for its consideration As part of its evaluation of the grant request the Board of Missions evaluates the stewardship and evangelism activities and plans of the applicant mission church If the Board of Missions endorses the grant application it is then considered by the Loan and Grant Committee If

the grant application is endorsed by the Loan and Grant Committee it then goes to Diocesan Council for its consideration Any grants are made only from the Capital and Revolving Fund (Canon 21 Section 2) ldquono grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Conventionrdquo Loan applications from mission churches must also have been endorsed by the Board of Missions before being considered by the Loan and Grant Committee Applicant churches whether Missions or Independent Parishes are advised to recognize the time involved in this process and to read the application and need for supporting documents carefully and preferably to consult with the Chair of the Loan amp Grant Committee before proceeding Typically a capital campaign is needed to underwrite a loan so a church seeking a loan is advised to consult both with the Chair of this Committee and with the Stewardship Committee of our Diocese and with the Committee on Church Architecture (if appropriate) Loans from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund are by canon set at 5 and are only given to ldquomissions and assisted parishesrdquo Loans from the Capital amp Revolving Fund are interest free by canon and are available by canon to ldquoparishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jerseyrdquo It has been the policy of the Loan and Grant Committee in recent years to give such interest-free loans from this Fund to parishes only as bridge loans in the case of applicant parishes which would be waiting to receive reimbursement from the New Jersey Historic Trust (which requires recipients to pay contractors submit receipted bills and wait for State reimbursement) The Committee has had a satisfactory recent experience with a one year ldquoballoon noterdquo to Christ Church Middletown for this purpose (which was repaid in a very timely manner) and authorized another such loan in 2008 (as noted below) In recent years the Committee has only made loans to missions from the Capital amp Revolving Fund as a ldquoblended loanrdquo with half of the principal coming from the R Bowden Shepherd Fund for a blended rate of 2 frac12 which means that mission churches with loans would always get a lower interest rate than Independent Parishes This has been a successful approach Loans from the Venture in Mission Fund are for Independent Parishes The interest rate must range between 4 and 12 (in accordance with canon) and is set by Diocesan Council upon the recommendation of the Loan and Grant Committee The current rate for new loans is 5

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 178

Loan and Grant Committee continued

Payments on loans are usually made monthly and for a total amount and length of time as set by the Committee The Committee always reserves the right to reject loan or grant applications The Committee meets on demand and preferably at the applicant church so as to see the project under consideration The Chair calls the applicant church to discern possible meeting times and then sets the day and time so as to ensure the greatest possible attendance by members of the Committee (In the interests of time more than one application may be considered at a meeting so it is not always the case that the Committee sees every proposal in person though that is ideal) In all cases principal and interest payments on loans go back into the respective fund(s) from which the loans were drawn thus making possible future loans for churches In addition income from the balances not currently loaned out within each fund are reinvested in the respective fund Several years ago the Committee realized that many missions are unable to afford to take out loans (especially those which are already having their operating budgets subsidized) but that they may have property repairreplacement needs which could be addressed by the ability of the Committee to recommend grants for capital purposes The Committee felt that this is especially appropriate since all buildings of mission churches are diocesan properties and our Diocese has a responsibility for their care The Committee therefore began considering grant applications under the process outlined above The Committee increasingly realized that some of the applications involved ldquoemergenciesrdquo which could have been anticipated had a systematic review of the properties been undertaken and the Committee also became concerned about how many potentially hazardous situations might exist in buildings of mission churches without the diocesan office (and perhaps the priest and people of the churches) being aware of them (I myself once lived in a vicarage which had a dangerously substandard wiring which no one knew about until the church hired an electrical inspector at my urging) The Committee then started to require that any mission church receiving a grant have a full professional inspection of its buildings (paid for by a small grant from the Capital and Revolving Fund) before the actual work for the grant be done In one case this resulted in the discovery of a carbon monoxide leak in a building if that buildingrsquos window door and insulation leaks been remedied before the carbon monoxide was checked the results could have been lethal

Loan and Grant Committee continued The Committee then proposed to Diocesan Council that there be full professional inspections of all the buildings of mission churches the expenses (which have ranged anywhere from about $500 to about $3600 and typically have been $1-2000) to be covered by small grants from the Capital and Revolving Fund The Committee assured Council that there was plenty of money in the Capital and Revolving Fund to pay for such inspections given that mission churches rarely are able to afford to take out loans the Fund has typically been less than half loaned out and that seemed unlikely to change The Committee also urged Council approval of this project because all of these buildings are owned by our Diocese and as such our Diocese has both a moral and a legal obligation to attend to matters of safety and care of the people and clergy of these churches which by definition have more limited financial resources than most Independent Parishes A systematic inspection program would also mean that all needs would be examined and considered at once instead of just those churches most aware of the diocesan processes or those with the most obvious problems being served first The Committee proposed and Council adopted a plan whereby small grants for the inspections would be ldquofast-trackedrdquo instead of each grant needing Council approval (as is otherwise always the case) the program was approved and the Board of Missions and diocesan Staff could work with the congregations and professional building inspectors to implement the program and the Committee would reimburse the costs of the inspections While there have been a few urgent grant requests approved while this program was underway the over-all intention was to have all of the mission churchesrsquo buildings inspected the reports analyzed and a systematic and strategic response developed to the needs which would then be evident This has now begun on January 21 2009 Lee Powers Canon to the Ordinary and Deborah Crall Assistant to the Canon to the Ordinary submitted a substantial report to the Trustees of Church properties with summaries of the inspection reports from our mission churches The Loan and Grant Committee thanks them both for their diligent and detailed work and looks forward to doing what the Committee can to help once the results are analyzed and a plan developed Especially in this year of severely stretched parochial and diocesan financial resources due to the severe recession it is crucial that the funds overseen by the Loan amp Grant Committee be available to respond to urgent safety-related repairs and other needs of our mission churches through the grants program from the Capital amp Revolving Fund

On June 12 the Committee endorsed a bridge loan for one year at no interest from the Capital amp Revolving Fund of up to $150000 to St Stephenrsquos Church Beverly due one year from the date of draw down contingent on St Stephenrsquos receiving the matching grant from the New Jersey Historic Trust for which it was applying and on the bond for financial officers of the parish be raised by $150000 before the loan is drawn down It is anticipated that this loan would be drawn down in 2009

At the same meeting the Committee endorsed a grant of $6800 for emergency repairs to the steps and landing outside one of the exit doors to St Albanrsquos New Brunswick

The problem was in the professional inspectorrsquos report on the building In the light of the then-impending leadership transition at the church the Committee endorsed having the Diocese contract directly with the contractor The grant to this mission church had been previously endorsed by the Board of Missions

At the same meeting the Committee voted to have ldquothe three most recent Parochial Reportsrdquo replace ldquothe most recent Church Report datardquo on its application form (since our Diocese no longer subscribes to the Church Report data) and add to the requirements listed on its application form that ldquotreasurers of all congregations must be bonded for the full financial assets of the applicant church including any proposed loansrdquo The Committee also heard an update on the church inspections program and on the status of loans including two that were seriously in arrears

New Jersey Diocesan Chaplaincy Elizabeth Federal Detention Center continued

We visit with pray with and teach from two to thirty-two non-criminal detainees each week The work is difficult as it is in the highest restricted area of any Federal prison in the US yet it is not actually a prison but is called a detention center Entrance is through a series of locked doors and gates and body searches are conducted on the chaplains before they are admitted Several of the detainees are under threat of death from parties in their originating countries so we cannot disclose their identities at any time All visits are on weekday nights from 7 PM until 10 PM and are held in the Indoor Recreation Center Prior to our coming to the Center in the year 2000 several attempts at suicide were carried out one leading to a fatality Since our Diocesan involvement we have not been apprised of any such occurrences in our eight years there Some detainees were quite depressed but now we offer a time of consolation study singing and prayer encouraging the attendees to supply each part of the service they are willing to do We have had times of great camaraderie as we support small Bible and prayer groups inside the dormitories through our efforts and materials The original ministry was funded by the Episcopal Development Fund formerly called the Presiding Bishops Fund that funded the effort at $40000 in 2000 The current budget from the Diocese of New Jersey is only $4000 but helps us buy materials without any remuneration for the chaplains We do need to increase this as we occasionally need supply persons who have been cleared by the FBI a very lengthy process We are very grateful for the support the Diocese gives us to keep the detainees supplied with Bibles and meditative study materials in over three dozen languages and trust the support will continue and increase to meet the growing needs we have The Rev Joseph R Parrish Jr Rector St Johns Elizabeth

The reliance of the Diocesan House Staff for data and information from the archives has grown tremendously It has included lengthy and detailed informational reports on various parishes data from census reports and projections over the next two decades Research requests have increased greatly as Staff members find a need to find information on various committees and funds

Many of our publications can be found on the Diocesan Website under Archives Cynthia McFarland Canon for Communications has been of invaluable assistance and we are grateful for her dedication to the archives Janice M Gay of Williamsburg Virginia donated original sermons of the Rev Thomas Tanser an important 19th century New Jersey cleric Such donationsgifts are enormously important for the health of your Archives Your archives suffers from insufficient funding especially in the area of the purchase of books pamphlets and paper ephemera that comes on the auction market for a short time and is part and parcel of our diocesan history We are collecting the writings of clergylaity who have been influential in our diocese and this requires additional funding The archives would be enormously grateful for contributions that would allow us to make the occasional purchase that becomes available I wish to thank Deacon Mary Ann Jensen Paula Morgan and Carol Bishop for their untiring efforts to make your history available to this and future generations In addition I wish to thank Bishop Councell and the various Staff members for their support and encouragement (The Rev Canon) Laurence D Fish Registrar

Standing Commission on Clerical Compensation continued

The Canons of the Diocese direct the Commission to submit a report to the Convention each year on compliance with all compensation guidelines The report on clerical compensation is due in the Diocese by March 1st of each year We sincerely thank the parishes who send their reports on time but there are a number of parishes that are consistently late It is a time consuming and unnecessary process for Commission members to contact delinquent parishes Any church having trouble completing the forms should contact a Commission member The number of churches returning their compensation reports is dropping We have no way of knowing if this means more and more churches are no longer paying their clergy the canonical minimums or if they think that completing the forms take too much time In any case it is a bad sign I do want to thank St Johnrsquos Little Silver for being the first to return their 2009 report At last yearrsquos convention Bishop Councell asked the Commission to study develop and make a sabbatical policy recommendation to the Standing Committee for full-time clergy residing in the Diocese At first the lay members were skeptical since sabbaticals are virtually unknown in the private sector of the economy they are mostly a benefit in the education sector The clergy members put forth strong arguments that a sabbatical would renew and refresh the clergy physically emotionally and spiritually and when they returned to their congregations they would bring new energy and ideas back with them The Commission did vote as to whether or not to develop a sabbatical policy and though the vote was not unanimous the majority agreed to follow the Bishoprsquos request In our deliberations we looked at sabbatical polices from other Episcopal dioceses and from the Lutheran Church We feel our draft policy is fair both to the clergy and to congregations (see the attached draft policy) While this is possibly the worst year to present a new clergy benefit we believe the economy will improve in the next several years so that clergy can avail themselves of a sabbatical leave We ask that those churches that do not have an agreement with their clergy regarding a sabbatical study our proposed policy and open a dialog with their clergy for a sabbatical sometime in the future This is my last year serving on the Commission I want to thank all of the current members for their hard work this past year I have had the

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons 2009 Document 7

Introduction

In addition to matters carried over from last year the Committee reviewed requests for changes in the constitution and canons of the diocese Proposals affecting voting rights in Convention are presented first If passed they will go into effect immediately enabling those affected to vote at this Convention

Part I Constitution Article II Section 2

Diocesan Convention 2008 passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are

not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Amendments to the diocesan Constitution are governed by Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution

Any proposed amendment to this Constitution which may be approved by a majority vote at any meeting of the Convention shall lay over to the next annual meeting It shall then be acted upon and if approved by a Vote by Orders shall become a part of this Constitution As explained in last years Report Episcopal Church Canons provide in Canon III102 for either occasional or extended service in Episcopal congregations with the approval of the diocesan bishop by clergypersons who have been ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church In addition to ELCA clergy the canons list of such churches includes the dioceses and provinces in communion with the See of Canterbury the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar If this proposed constitutional amendment is approved at this meeting the Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons will propose the canonical amendment in Part II of this Report in order to implement the change in voting rights It should be noted that the Revd Elmer L Sullivan has submitted to the Committee a proposal to amend the Diocesan Constitution as regarding voting rights of ELCA clergy (but not of clergy of other churches in communion with TEC) who may be serving Episcopal congregations in the diocese which proposal is included in Part X of this Report Whether or not the implementing resolution of this Part I is passed Fr Sullivans proposal can be considered independently thereafter The Committee therefore moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution I Resolved That the new fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey as authorized by the 224th Convention of the Diocese be approved by this 225th Convention The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Part II

Canon 2 Section 1 Canon 2 Section 1 governs clergy voting rights in diocesan conventions It currently provides SECTION 1 The Ecclesiastical Authority one week before the date set for any meeting of the Convention shall certify to the Secretary the names of all clergy canonically resident in the Diocese annexing the names of their respective cures or stations or engagements specifying those who have been ordained or received in the Diocese within the year immediately preceding with the dates of their ordination or reception from which list the Secretary shall prepare in conformity with the constitution a roll of all the clergy entitled to votes or seats in the Convention Should any dispute arise as to the status of any member of the clergy it shall be referred to a special committee appointed by the President which shall report on each case immediately and the action of the Convention thereon shall not be called in question during the same session If the Part I proposed amendment to the Constitution is approved at this convention a canonical amendment will be necessary in order to implement voting rights for members of the clergy serving in the diocese who are ordained in churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Episcopal Church Canon III102 sets forth generally the requirements to be met before an Episcopal bishop can certify a priest or deacon from such a church to officiate occasionally or for an extended period of time in an Episcopal congregation as well as requirements for reception into The Episcopal Church The Principles for the Orderly Exchange of Pastors and Priests issued by the Episcopal Church Office for Ministry Development with respect to clergy ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America notes that in order to serve as rector of an Episcopal parish an ELCA priest must first be received into TEC thus relinquishing membership in the ELCA and becoming canonically resident in the Diocese Such reception is not necessary however for a clergyperson to serve an Episcopal congregation as vicar curate on-going supply pastor interim assistant or pastor-in-charge for a specified term under a contractual arrangement It is in these capacities then that an ELCA clergyperson or a clergyperson from another church in communion with TEC might possibly be given voting rights

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 213

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued For priests ordained in TEC as reflected in the first paragraph of Diocesan Canon 2 Section 1 the right to vote in Diocesan Convention is keyed to canonical residence Clergy canonically resident outside the Diocese of New Jersey are permitted to serve here as interims assistant priests or temporary priests-in-charge without transferring residence to the diocese and thus gaining the right to vote here The Committees position is that non-TEC priests should not be given greater voting rights than TEC priests Accordingly if the resolution in Part I of this report is passed the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution II Resolved That Section 1 of Canon 2 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to insert a new second paragraph to read as follows The Ecclesiastical Authority shall at the same time also certify the names of all members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving as vicars within the Diocese under certificate issued pursuant to Episcopal Church Canon III102(a)(i) who shall also be entitled to have seat and vote at the Convention annexing the names of their respective congregations and the date of their certification to serve in the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends the adoption of this implementing resolution

Part III

Constitution Article VII Section 1 Dr Jim Sullivan has proposed the lifting of a restriction on reelection to the Standing Committee by those members elected to fill a partial term Article VII Section 1 of the Constitution provides in pertinent part

the successors of those whose terms expire as aforesaid shall be elected for a term of four years No members elected by the Convention shall be eligible to succeed themselves

Section 3 of the same Article provides

The Standing Committee shall have power to fill vacancies which may occur in their own body or in any body elected or appointed by

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 214

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

Convention until the next annual meeting of Convention unless otherwise provided for by articles of this Constitution Canons adopted thereunder or special acts taken by Convention When a vacancy occurs the Standing Committee can fill the vacancy until the next Convention at which time the Convention elects a member to fill the unexpired portion of the four-year term Under Section 1 such persons are not eligible to be elected to a full term upon the expiration of the partial term This limitation does not exist for the Diocesan Council Canon 19 Section 2(a) provides in pertinent part

Members elected by the Convention for a full term shall not be eligible to succeed themselves Vacancies among the members elected by the Convention created by death resignation removal incapacity deposition ordination of a lay member or removal from the Diocese may be filled by the Council until the next annual meeting of the Convention Thus members of Diocesan Council completing a partial term are eligible for election to a full term Dr Sullivan proposes that this rule be extended to the Standing Committee as well The Committee recommends against such a change The Standing Committee is a much smaller body than Diocesan Council eight members as opposed to eighteen voting members plus bishops and nonvoting members and its members serve for terms of four years rather than three Giving any one member of the Standing Committee the possibility of extended tenure beyond four years opens the possibility of undue influence on the other members In addition since the primary purpose of Standing Committees is to serve as a council of advice to the Bishop we feel that adding a fresh voice every year is better for diocesan administration To implement Dr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution III Resolved That the fifth sentence of Sec-tion 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (added language underlined) No members elected by the Convention for a full term shall be eligible to succeed themselves

References to The Episcopal Church Numerous references are made in our diocesan canons to the national Episcopal Church or to national Canons Chancellor John Wood Goldsack has objected to such terminology on grounds that The Episcopal Church is a province not limited to the geographic territory of the United States of America but includes Haiti the Convocation of American Churches in Europe Taiwan and dioceses in Ecuador Honduras Colombia Venezuela and the Dominican Republic He has requested that such canonical references be amended to refer simply to The Episcopal Church The Committee has no objection to such amendments and accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution IV Resolved That the following Canons of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline) Canon 14 Section 1 second sentence The purpose of the Budget is to enable the Diocese to carry on ministries provide support to the Diocesan Congregations meet its obligation to the national The Episcopal Church and finance its administration Canon 16 Section 1(a) A tithe which shall be ten percent of each Diocesan Congregations Income Base shall be requested to support the basic obligations of the Diocese which shall include the cost of supporting the Bishop the diocesan staff and facilities legal and insurance requirements direct support payments to mission congre-gations funding for social and ethnic ministries gatherings in the Diocese and of the church and an amount equal to a tithe of total Fair Share Pledges to the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (the National The Episcopal Church) Each Diocesan Congregation shall pay its tithe unless for good cause prevented Canon 16 Section 1(b) second sentence Such mission and ministry shall include all programmatic activities and ministries that are not included in Section 1(a) support for the development of clergy the amount by which the asking from the national church The Episcopal

Convention SECTION 3 At said annual meeting the qualified voters shall elect by ballot by a majority of the votes cast to serve for the ensuing year from among the voters in the Parish three Deputies and three alternate Deputies to the Diocesan Convention and a Warden or Wardens who shall all be communicants in good standing and also such other Members of the Vestry and other officers as may be provided for by the Charter of the Parish who shall be communicants if such suitable for the office can be found The date of the annual meeting of congregations is generally set by their incorporation papers Some colonial parishes had charters providing for a meeting during Easter week During much of the twentieth century New Jersey statute required the meeting date to be during the first week of Advent And some parishes have meetings as late as February Some of those congregations holding elections just before Diocesan Convention have adopted a practice of electing Deputies and Alternates for the next following Convention so that the meeting of February 2008 elected Deputies and Alternates for the present Convention held February 27-28 2009 While this practice allows parish representatives to receive preconvention mailings which begin in August and to partici-pate in preconvention meetings which this year start on February 3 it is contrary to the terms of the canons requirement of election to serve for the ensuing year Annual meetings of congregations serve other purposes than the election of Convention Deputies Often congregations are informed of parish finances including past results and future budgets and these kinds of information are generally not available until around the end of the calendar year While it makes some sense to allow for advance election of the congregations election of its representatives to Convention in a manner allowing them to participate in the nomination process and other preconvention activities the Committee believes that the current mailings to Deputy 1 etc at the churchs address is sufficient to inform deputies once elected and that changing the current system to allow advance election would introduce too much variation in election practice that could lead to further administrative confusion If a particular congregation feels prejudiced by holding its annual meeting in February it can change the date by amending its certificate of incorporation The Committee therefore moves the following resolution

Part VIII

Constitution Article II Section 2 First Paragraph The Revd Elmer L Sullivan has proposed the following amendment to the first paragraph of Article II Section 2 of Constitution of the Diocese (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote He notes that no canon has been adopted since this constitutional text came into effect that gives seat and vote to Bishops Suffragan or Coadjutor and proposes that their right to vote be placed in the Constitution Prior to 1996 however this sentence had read The Bishop the Bishop Coadjutor and the Suffragan Bishop shall each have a seat and vote It was changed in that year to provide for the adoption of new Canon 11 titled Retired Bishops in Convention which provides A Bishop who shall have retired as a bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey and who is

canonically residing within the Diocese shall be entitled to a voice seat and vote at the Convention Prior to that change retired Suffragan Bishop Vincent Pettit was given seat and vote by acclamation at the opening of each Convention The Diocese of New Jersey has had no Suffragan Bishop since 1991 and no Bishop Coadjutor since 1994 Rather than amending the Constitution the Committee recommends instead expanding the current Canon 11 to cover active bishops other than the Diocesan and at the same time suggests conforming the language for retired bishops to the usual canonical language for granting seat voice and vote in Convention The Committee notes that Assisting Bishops such as Bishop Romero are qualified to vote by virtue of Episcopal Church Canon III128(j) along with other clergy so no special provision for such bishops is needed in diocesan canons The Committee accordingly moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution VIII Resolved That Diocese of New Jersey Canon 11 be amended as follows (deletions shown by strikethrough insertions by underline)

Part X Constitution Article II Section 2 Paragraph 4

As noted in Part I of this Report last years Convention passed Implementing Resolution III a first reading of an amendment to Article II of the Constitution for the purpose of providing for voting participation in our Convention for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and of other denominations that are in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey

Resolved That Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended pursuant to Article XIII Section 1 of the Constitution to insert a new fourth paragraph to read as follows Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon Fr Elmer L Sullivan has found this language possibly confusing and has voiced to the Committee objections as to its approval at last years Convention and he has proposed an alternate constitutional amendment to deal with voting rights of ELCA clergy also to be inserted as (or replace if Part I of this Report is implemented) the fourth paragraph of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that it is inadequate for several reasons First of all it is limited in scope to ELCA clergy only and does not apply to clergy of any of the other churches with which The Episcopal Church is in communion (noted in Part I) Secondly it makes eligibility to vote dependent upon the suf-ferance of the Bishop at the time This is inconsistent with the fully interchangeable status of clergy entailed by the Concordat as adopted by TEC and under the regulations set forth in TEC Canons Thirdly it

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 222

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued

proposes to adopt into the Constitution a procedure (certification of the roll of clergy having votes or seats in Diocesan Convention) that is set forth only in Canon (and also changing seats or votes to seats and votes) Finally it includes a purported blanket disqualification of these clergypersons from serving on the Standing Committee of the Diocese (Article VII of the Constitution provides that clerical members [of the Standing Committee] must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention) It is poor drafting to place a specific disqualification from an office in a separate article from the general qualification for that office It is questionable whether such a disqualification is even necessary or desirable other than to create a second class citizenship among otherwise interchangeable clergy If Convention so decides however the Committee feels that such qualifications as pertain to eligibility for election to the Standing Committee be placed in Article VII of the Constitution rather than in Article II Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolu tion X Resolved That a fourth paragraph of Section 2 of Article II of the Constitution of the Diocese of New Jersey be added [or if the proposal in Part I of the Report is adopted then that the existing fourth paragraph be deleted and replaced with a new fourth paragraph] to read as follows

The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

The Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons recommends against the adoption of this implementing resolution

Conclusion The Committee has received no further proposals for consideration this year other than two timely proposals as to which the proposer needs to consult other bodies and which may if not withdrawn be contained in a Supplemental Report of this Committee The Committee reminds members of Convention that proposals for amendments to the

Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution

Submitted by The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

Statement by the Proposer The first sentence of Article II Section 2 as it now stands is printed below The Bishop and all other bishops to the extent provided by canon shall each have a seat and vote It provides for the Bishop of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention and permits other bishops to have a seat and vote only to the extent provided by canon The only other bishops to whom this would apply are bishops coadjutor and bishops suffragan Oddly there is no canon at present that provides seats and votes to such bishops They used to be included in Article II but they were removed from it in 1995 and no canon has been adopted to fill the gap

Perhaps the reason for this neglect is that the Diocese has not had a bishop suffragan or a bishop coadjutor in the interim However this omission should be corrected and the best time to do it is when no election is in the offing

Bishops suffragan and coadjutor should certainly have a seat and vote in the Convention and they hold leadership positions of such importance

that it is appropriate to provide for this in the Constitution Therefore it is proposed that the first sentence of Article II Section 2 be amended by substitution as follows

The Bishop of the Diocese the Bishop Coadjutor if there Be one and Suffragan Bishops if there be any shall each have a seat and vote

A Proposed Amendment of Article II Section 2 of the Constitution Submitted by

The Rev Elmer L Sullivan

It is proposed that Article II Section 2 of the Constitution be amended by adding a new fourth sentence as follows (replacing the fourth sentence now printed there in italic) The Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese may at the Ecclesiastical Authoritys discretion direct that a member of the clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Church in America who serves a congregation of the Diocese of New Jersey be included in the roll of clergy entitled to seats and votes in the Convention Provided however that clergy so listed shall not be deemed qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese

Statement by the Proposer The purpose of this amendment is to provide in a Simple and direct way for clergy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) who serve a congregation of the Diocese to have a seat and vote in the Convention The means employed is the list of voting clergy drawn up by the Bishop in accordance with Canon 2

You will notice that this status is conferred at the discretion of the Bishop Different dioceses and different bishops have different opinions on this subject It is a point on which reasonable people can and do differ and it is a matter with many facets still unsettled Our present Bishop favors it Thus the proposed amendment is drafted in such a way that the he will be able to administer the legislation at his discretion whatever the future may bring You will also notice that the proposed amendment specifies that ELCA clergy are not eligible to serve on the Standing Committee Without such a provision they would be eligible because the only qualification for clerical members of the Standing Committee set forth in Article VII of the

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 225

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment Constitution is that they must be of those entitled to seats in the Convention Because this is part of the Constitution only another part of the Constitution can countermand it Such a safeguard is important because the Standing Committee can under some Circumstances become the Ecclesiastical Authority of the Diocese Moreover because canonical residency is a requirement for holding most other offices in the Diocese it seems inconsistent to permit ELCA clergy (who cannot be canonically resident) to serve on the Standing Committee when they are not eligible for most other offices

The 2008 Amendment Should Be Abandoned This proposed amendment is intended to replace an amendment adopted on first reading at the 2008 Convention Both the content of the 2008 amendment and the process by which it was adopted were seriously flawed and for that reason it should be abandoned Discussion of that point follows below

The Wording of the 2008 Amendment is Too Broad

The impetus for legislation on this subject is the Concordat agreed to by The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the ELCA and the presence of ELCA clergy serving congregations in the Diocese There is no need to make this legislation so broad that it includes clergy of the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht the Philippine Independent Church and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar (as the 2008 amendment does) We do not have a Concordat with these Churches nor do their clergy serve congregations In our Diocese nor Is this likely to happen As for clergy of other provinces of the Anglican Communion extensive Provision is made for them to be received into our Church in TEC Canons Title III Canon 10 Sections 1 and 2 There is no need for local canons on this subject nor is there any need for the 2008 amendment to be worded so broadly as to include all [m]embers of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church Moreover the canonical amendment proposed by the Committee on Constitution and Canons limits the scope of the legislation to clergy who are serving as vicars within the Diocese However when you consider the fact that Episcopal Church Canons specifically prohibit clergy of other Anglican provinces to take charge of any congregation unless they present Letters Dimissory and become canonically resident it becomes apparent that such clergy must come in through the canonical residency

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section C - 226

Standing Committee on Constitution and Canons continued Proposed Amendment door and that the attempt of the Committee to include them in a different way is pointless

The Process Was Seriously Flawed At the 2008 Convention the Committee on Constitution and Canons proposed the following amendment of Article II Section 2 and it was represented as being a proposal of the Committee Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

This version of the proposed amendment was reckless because it opened the door for future action that would make hundreds of clergy around the world eligible to have a seat and vote in our Diocesan Convention - an idea that is unsound to say the least This fault was noted by a member of the Convention who offered from the floor an amendment by substitution that narrowed the scope of the proposal to clergy who are serving parishes in this Diocese at least half time with the consent of the bishop (sic) Another amendment by substitution was then offered by a member of the Committee on Constitution and Canons who advised [that it] had been previously approved by members of the Committee In the midst of this confusion the Convention adopted the substitute amendment of the substitute amendment Its text appears below Members of the clergy ordained by bishops of churches in communion with The Episcopal Church who are serving in the Diocese but who are not canonically resident in the Diocese shall have seat and vote to the extent provided by canon

Conclusion

The simple fact is that whether clergy vote or not depends on whether they are canonically resident or not Period How when why and by whom members of the clergy were ordained has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not they vote It is pointless and confusing to introduce that topic into legislation about clergy voting ELCA clergy serving in the Diocese are the only exception and it is an exception Voting rights extended to them are based not on canonical residency but on the

In addition to other matters contained in the Committees main Report for 2009 Document 7 there were timely submitted by Fr Elmer L Sullivan some additional proposals that he had asked the Committee to defer reporting on until he had had an opportunity to confer with the Diocesan Council and with Bishop Councell after his return from sabbatical Those proposals are now contained in this Supplemental Report

Part XI Canon 21 Section 2

Fr Sullivan has proposed three amendments to Canon 21 which governs several diocesan loan funds These are set forth in Parts XI and XII of this report Section 2 of Canon 21 governs the Capital and Revolving Fund

SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated bequeathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Con-vention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by

resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually His first proposal is to add language to the fifth sentence as follows

No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention His concern is to avoid depleting the capital of the Fund due to grants made in excess of the Funds income Year Income Grants Made Assets as of Jan 1 2004 2277 31295 572417 2005 8604 11555 541256 2006 15881 20000 538305 2007 11402 45615 534987 2008 4359 32412 500174 Assets as of June 30 2008 471946 2008 figures are for the first six months of the year only Limiting annual grants to $10000 unless Convention otherwise specifically directs argues Fr Sullivan will help to stabilize the Fund and protect its capital for future years His second proposal is to amend the third sentence of the section as follows

The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention Again the object is to limit grants to capital improvements consistent with the name of the Fund and not to support operating budgets of congregations

The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that

the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of this Fund by limiting its scope If the Trustees believe that loans in excess of these guidelines are warranted in specific cases either as to amount or as to purposes it is always within their discretion to apply to the Convention for permission to make such loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XI Resolved That Section 2 of Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended to read as follows (insertions shown by underline) SECTION 2 The members of the Diocesan Council shall be the trustees of the Capital and Revolving Fund of the Diocese of New Jersey established by resolution of Diocesan Convention in May 1950 The trustees shall hold manage invest reinvest and otherwise administer funds received through the Capital and Revolving Fund Campaign and such other funds as have been and shall be designated donated be-queathed or turned over to the Fund The trustees shall provide grants and interest free loans for capital improvement purposes to parishes organized missions chapels or other entities in union with or a part of the Diocese of New Jersey and for such other purposes as may be specifically approved by the Diocesan Convention The trustees shall administer and manage the Fund subject to such directions and restrictions as may be adopted by Diocesan Convention No grant shall be made for a sum larger than $10000 without the approval of the Convention nor shall the sum total of grants made in any calendar year exceed $10000 without the approval of the Convention The management of the Fund may by resolution of the Convention be transferred to such other entity as the Convention may designate The trustees shall make a complete financial report to the Convention annually

Loans in Default

SECTION 5 When any church or other entity that has borrowed funds in accordance with the provisions of this Canon shall fall behind in its repayment obligation the Diocesan Council may renegotiate the terms of the loan but any such renegotiation must remain within the limitations prescribed in this Canon When a loan has been delinquent for five years it shall be deemed to be in default provided however that the Diocesan Council may acting in its discretion declare a delinquent borrower to be in default before the end of such five-year period When a loan is in default the principal and interest due to the issuing loan fund shall be repaid (a) from the assets of the borrower or (b) from properly approved appropriations from the income or appropriate loan funds of the Diocese or (c) from moneys allocated in the operating budget of the Diocese or (d) some combination of the foregoing sources as may be approved by Diocesan Council

The problem of defaulted loans has become quite serious The Auditors report for fiscal year 2007 refers to delinquent loans as doubtful accounts and sets the then amount thereof at $250203 In some cases no payment has been made by the borrowers for more than five years The proposal supplies authorization for the Diocesan Council as trustees of these funds to pursue methods of recovering capital trust assets that are now in jeopardy and possibly avoid such problems in the future The Committee has reviewed Fr Sullivans proposal and believes that the changes proposed will help protect the continued existence of the Diocesan Trust Funds by giving Diocesan Council tools to obtain repayment of delinquent loans Accordingly to implement Fr Sullivans proposal the Committee moves the following resolution Implementing Resolution XII Resolved That Canon 21 of the Diocese of New Jersey be amended by adding a new Section 5 to read as follows

and the Diocese Proceeds from the sale of goods enable the shop to make significant contributions to the Cathedral The Dean Adams Memorial Gardens received a major facelift in 2008 We are greatly indebted to Bob Prouty Steve Simonson Sue Remmers the children of the Sunday School and the Altar Guild Shop for making this possible

I want to thank the Staff for their herculean efforts in 2008 ndash Deborah Ford Choir Director Patrice DrsquoAngelo Cathedral Administrator and Al Shaw Sexton Unfortunately we could not afford to retain the services of Fern Harhay and she was laid off June 1 2008 Steve Simonson was unable to pass the Black Seal License requirements and combined with very poor attendance in the latter part of 2008 was dismissed as of the end of 2008

Faith sharing small groups and the development and the unveiling of the Natural Church Development plan was a major part of our work in 2008 We would like to form more of faith sharing small groups in 2009 and we invite more persons to inquire and consider being a part of this aspect of our ministry at Trinity Cathedral Our Natural Church Development plan seeks to equip us to be more welcoming We are also very pleased to have made available a selection of books to all interested persons in Synod Hall Please make use of this facility as we seek to learn ways to better evangelize

The Episcopal Church defines the five marks of mission as-

1 Spread the Good News 2 Baptize new believers 3 Alleviate human suffering 4 Work to transform unjust structures 5 Care for the earth

I would like to propose that along with our Diocesan Vision of Spiritual Renewal we would focus on these marks of mission as we continue our journey from survival to celebration The Very Rev Reneacute John Dean Trinity Cathedral January 2009

Trinity Cathedral Financial Situation

As we embark on 2009 the Cathedralrsquos financial picture might seem better than it really is We end up 2008 with over $20000 in cash and with booked net income exceeding $60000 The difference between the booked number and the available cash is that in early 2008 we needed to satisfy unpaid bills booked in 2007 Also what appears to be a positive performance is misleading because it includes over $85000 withdrawn from investments during the first half of the year to pay accrued expenses However on a truly positive note we were blessed by a wonderful $70000 gift from Dr Phil Lewis late in the year This plus a couple of bequests during 2008 allowed us to end up in the black

Our unrestricted investment fund has shrunk to $70000 and that is the degree of the deficit in our 2009 budget We do have some cash though as we begin the year which should allow us to gear up some additional fundraising efforts to make up the shortfall

Factors key to the deficit budget this year include the fact that income is by comparison down significantly due to current market economics the reduced basis of remaining investments and no immediate prospect of a single large special gift Furthermore we will no longer be able to rely upon investments to shore up shortfalls as has been the case for almost three decades So the expense budget has been carefully pared to the minimum practical level

Our stewardship has been good We expect to see nearly a 10 increase in pledged commitments but given the overwhelming expenses - most of which are not discretionary ndash we need all of the external help we can get The Diocese and the Bishop have been very helpful however even with that assistance plus our increased pledging and excellent fundraising efforts we will fall short of meeting our needs This may well be the year for some very tough decisions

We did receive a court decision during 2008 which permits a 6 12 payout from the Dean Adams Trust rather than the historical 5 Yet due to the declines in the market that merely prevents further negative impact The chart below presents a high level view of the circumstances

Urban Ministry is Revitalized

On September 20 2008 the Urban Ministry had their first Workshop in years To say the workshop was productive is an understatement With over 30 committed attendees from more than seven churches from around the state the group gathered together to figure out what they can do to address the issues of the churches in the Urban areas The Guest Speaker and Facilitator of the Workshop was Nell Braxton Gibson Coordinator of the Episcopal Urban Caucus and an Activist of equality in all facets for many years

The group succeeded in getting a preempt to a Mission Statement after a lengthy overview The Mission Statement will temporarily read rdquoShare the gospel with all those who live and work in cities by preaching teaching advocating and empowering in a spirit of inclusivenessrdquo

The group discussed how systemic change is a major key in making and leading in urban ministry incorporating their mission statement as the actions of the committee As the dialog progressed the group discovered that many of the same community necessities were desired with no difference to the area there urban communities were located Church sizes from 75-600 connected through the very comparable liabilities in there surrounding neighborhoods

The Ministry appointed specific duties to members of the caucus proving that the meeting was fruitful and evolving on all levels The discussion of meeting more recently to get the Ministry back in full operation again was agreed upon by all parties involved The commitment level was very high which prove to be quite advantageous to the entire group In all it was an afternoon of discovery learning solidarity and compassion for solving the issues that plague all urban community churches

Some of the concerns highlighted for immediate attention were Alcoholism Drug Abuse Homelessness Mental Illness Affordable Housing and Hunger At the upcoming meeting the team will discuss and hopefully implement ideas and projects to initiate rescuing the urban communities of these problems

December 2008 In the December meeting Ms Clara Gregory reached out to resources in the state government of New Jersey and invited Ms Sarah Kleinman Coordinator of HIV Prevention for the New Jersey Department of Education who spoke to the group on the continuing need for education about the AIDS epidemic We agreed to follow up by sending an information packet to each of the congregations within the diocese informing of nearby resources and ways to get involved The Rev Jarrett Kerbel was also an invited speaker he is the Executive Director of Crisis

Report of the Treasurer to the 225th Diocesan Convention

To Clergy Lay Deputies and Alternates to the 225th Convention of the Diocese of New Jersey From Reginald Whitman Treasurer

Dear Friends This memorandum accompanies the Revised Preliminary Diocesan Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and the Proposed Preliminary Diocesan Budget for FY 2010 supporting the mission and ministry of the Diocese of New Jersey for the next two years which I am submitting for your consideration on behalf of Bishop Councell the Diocesan Council the Finance and Budget Committee and the financial offices of the Diocese The 2009 Budget Congregational Fair Share pledges are projected to be approximately 12 or $359000 less than in FY 2008 83 of pledges received are at 100 of the asking above or equal to FY 2008 17 of pledges received were reduced compared to last year including five of the top ten parishes when measured by parish income 50 parishes (31) have not yet filed a pledge for which $358000 ie their FY 2008 Fair Share giving is estimated to be their Fair Share Pledge for FY 2009 Trust income is projected to be down by about 83 or $57000 compared to FY 2008 actual Bishop Romerorsquos compensation will be supported entirely by donated restricted funds Those financial needs which exceed the normal income are being funded by working surpluses from prior years in the amount of $400000 and potentially and to a lesser extent from growth monies in the Harriet Procter Matthews (HPM) Fund by an amount up to $120000 but only if necessary If we use HPM Fund growth monies we intend to repay the Fund as reflected in the 2010 Preliminary Budget After considering the above total income for budgeting purposes is down approximately 3 from FY 2008 to FY 2009

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 242

Financials Exhibit I continued

Primary consideration has been given to funding the priorities enunciated by Bishop Councell

The Staff should be kept intact and compensated in accordance with mandated COLA increases

Trinity Cathedral commitment must be maintained at the same level as last year

The Episcopal Church asking to be 100 funded Diocesan program elements must be respected and

funded as completely as possible Commitments to retired clergy widowswidowers and

orphans are to be honored in full Our missionary zeal should be continued and our

Millennium Development Goal obligations should be met

Key elements of the expense budget include

Funding the Board of Missions asking (line 10) budgeted in full

The Episcopal Church asking (line 20) is funded 100 Trinity Cathedral (line 40) is funded at 2008 level even

though needs are much higher The Right Onward Visioning process (line 60) is funded

to enable an exciting year of activity Diocesan programs will continue with some cutbacks in

several areas Local program ministry grants are reduced to $10000

(line 120 amp121) Second alternate deputies to General Convention (line

412) will not be funded The diocesan Staff is treated as per the Bishoprsquos

request (lines 600 ndash 694) The only new senior Staff position added since 2004

Director of Communications is reduced to 13rd time in 2009 (line 660) This is necessary in order to contain expenses and is agreeable to the Communications Director

Report to the 225th Annual Diocesan Convention

Section D - 243

Financials Exhibit I continued

The Assistant Bishop (line 610) is to be funded entirely

by designated funds in 2009 leaving a balance that would fund less than one-half of the position in 2010

All retired clergy and widowwidower funding (line 730 amp 731) is intact

The Preliminary 2010 Budget The preliminary FY 2010 budget includes the revenue that would be available if every congregation is able to commit to the full amount of their pledge for 2010 As in the past this approach allows us to hold the budget up as a vision of the kind of mission and ministry that we can accomplish together if the resources are available to support it Available working surplus would not need to be used The preliminary FY 2010 budget supports all of the diocesan program allocation and other needs submitted for FY 2010 including increases in many instances The 2010 preliminary budget includes the repayment of any 2009 withdrawals that may have been made from the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies (line 702) The following increases and new allocations could be supported if congregations pledge the full Fair Share amount

Trinity Cathedral a 13rd increase (line 40) Local Ministry Grants increased funding (line 120-121) Multicultural Ministry Development (line 206) Director of Communications at 100 (line 660) Addition to administrative Staff (line 680) Capital campaign funding allocation (line 712a)

In Conclusion The current economic crisis may not be overcome in one yearone budget We therefore propose to use a portion of the available working surpluses from prior years and some of the HPM Fundrsquos growth monies in order to afford the Bishop and diocesan leaders the time to think and pray and plan and act to re-structure our Diocese in a way that more realistically matches our resources These are rainy days for which we have saved ldquoRainy Dayrdquo funds On the other hand we must not and we will not exhaust all of our funds so that they remain to be used for mission by future generations

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

To the Audit Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey Administrative Offices ofthe Diocese of New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Administrative Offices of the Diocese of New Jersey (the Diocese) as of December 31 2007 and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended These financial statements are the responsibility of the Dioceses management Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Dioceses 2006 financial statements and in our report dated December 17 2007 we elipressed a qualified opinion on those financial statements

We condllcted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as weI as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion

As explained in ilOte K to the financial statements the Diocese has not implemented Statements of Financial Standards (SFASH) Nos 106 and 132 Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions and Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that SFAS Nos l06 and 132 be followed when applicable It was not practicable to determine the effects of the unrecorded cost and disclosure requirements of post-retirement benefits on the fmancial statements

In our opinion except for the effects of not recording the cost of post-retirement benefits the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Diocese of New Jersey as of December 31 2007 and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generslly accepted in the United States ofAmerica
