Whitewater Valley Presbytery Assembly November 1, 2017

REPORT of the COMMITTEE on REPRESENTATION

Vice-Moderator of Presbytery

The Vice-Moderator Rotation is as follows:

• Female Ruling Elder 2018

• Female Teaching Elder 2019

• Male Ruling Elder 2020

• Male Teaching Elder 2021

2018 Vice-Moderator Nominee

Female Ruling Elder: Sandra Reid (Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis)

I was born in Gary, Indiana. I grew up in a family that included grandparents who had migrated from

Tennessee during the Industrial Revolution with 5 children, which included my mother.

My formative years centered around family gatherings, church, school, and as a young teen joining my friends

for weekly social events held at the local YWCA. Family gatherings are where I received those golden nuggets of

wisdom, faith sharing, and life lessons. “Listening to the grown people talk” shaped my core values. Their discussions

of Scripture and sharing their life experiences aroused in me the curiosity to see and know God personally. I accepted

Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of 14 and became very active in the youth group.

I graduated from high school in 1963 then attended Indiana University Northwest campus with interest in

social work. I have been married and widowed twice. I am the mother of three children and grandmother of two. In

1969 I relocated from Gary to Indianapolis when my husband accepted a new job. It was challenging to find a new

church, but a co-worker invited me to Witherspoon Presbyterian Church and it “felt like home.” My areas of service at

Witherspoon included Moderator of Presbyterian Women, Deacon, Ruling Elder, Evangelism Committee chair, and Co-

Leader Prayer Ministry Team.

I became an active member of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church in 2010. I have been a regular attender of the

pastor’s Bible Study group and served one term as a Ruling Elder on the Session, serving also as the Evangelism

Committee chair and the Music Committee chair.

My areas of service in Whitewater Valley Presbytery include one term on the WWVP Coordinating Team of

Presbyterian Women and one term as the Moderator of the Coordinating Council. Currently I am serving on the

Commission on Ministry, and am part of the COM Liaison Team.

When my life journey has taken unexpected turns, bumps or discouragements I grab hold of this Scripture

passage – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the

Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Ruling Elders (and congregation):

• Jill Werling – Fort Wayne, Grace Presbyterian

➢ Jill Werling was confirmed and married at Grace Presbyterian Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is

an ordained Deacon and Ruling Elder and has served several terms on the Board of Deacons and the

Session. During one of those terms she was on a Pastor Nominating Committee, and in another term

she was part of an Interim Pastor Search Committee. She is currently the Chair of the Worship

Committee. She is also on the Finance Committee, the Grace Legacy Fund Committee, and a member

of the choir. She has been the Moderator of the Grace Presbyterian Women and was awarded an

Honorary Membership. She has served as an alternate commissioner to Whitewater Valley

Presbytery. In 2012 Jill went on a mission trip through Grace with Habitat for Humanity to El

Salvador. It was one of the best experiences she has ever had. The hard, yet satisfying work, as well as

seeing the gratefulness of all involved on the worksite was more than she expected. While she was

there, she was also able to meet the child she sponsors with her sister through Compassion. Jill and

her husband Bill have been married 42 years. They have a daughter (soon to be married), son,

daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Jill is currently employed as the Comptroller for the Allen

County Sheriff’s Department. She is looking forward to retirement in March 2018.

• Phil Votaw – Indianapolis, St. Andrew Presbyterian

➢ Phil Votaw is a member of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis in Whitewater Valley

Presbytery and is currently a Ruling Elder serving on the Session. He sits on the Good

News/Mission Team, sings in the church choir and leads an adult education class. He has been a

member since 1985. Phil grew up in western Wabash County, Indiana and graduated with a B.S. in

Agriculture. While at Purdue he was active in campus ministry through University Church. He

worked in biochemical research several years before turning his attention to community development.

He currently works at Westside Community Development Corporation where he is the Executive

Director. The organization does housing and commercial development in a low-moderate income

Near West community of Indianapolis, just west of the Indiana University/Purdue University

Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus. Phil completed a two year Commissioned Ruling Elder training

through the Synod of Lincoln Trails. He serves as the Treasurer for the Presbytery, sitting on the

Finance Committee and the Coordinating Council. Phil lives in northwest Indianapolis with his wife

of 33 years, Pam Guernsey and their son, Anthony Votaw.

Teaching Elders:

• Shelly Wood – Indianapolis, Orchard Park Presbyterian

➢ Rev. Dr. Shelly Wood is Pastor at Orchard Park Presbyterian Church on the north side of

Indianapolis near Carmel, where she has served for the past 4 years. She is a native of Illinois, where

her first call was at Westminster Presbyterian Church followed by a call as head of staff in Cedar Falls,

Iowa. She was confirmed at Second Presbyterian Church in Bloomington, Illinois. All of this to say

that she is Midwesterner through and through, valuing a hard work ethic, healthy farmland and the

Chicago Cubs. Shelly holds a Masters in Counseling, a Masters in Divinity and a Doctorate of

Ministry in church redevelopment. She holds great reverence for the Presbyterian Church and its

Reformed worship and values. She cares deeply for the church and its future. Shelly is married to

Blake Wood and has three kids, ages 15, 14 and 11. When is not visiting a parishioner in the hospital

or working in the church, you can find her driving from baseball practice, to ballet class, and back to

church for evening meetings. It’s a busy, blessed life.

• Caroline Dennis – Indianapolis, Second Presbyterian

➢ Rev. Caroline Dennis, Associate Pastor for Children and Family Ministry at Second Presbyterian

Church, is a child of God and of the church who finds great joy in helping others claim their place in

the family of faith. The core Scripture Caroline has claimed for her ministry with children and

families, Psalm 145:4, “One generation shall laud your works to another and shall declare your mighty

acts,” speaks to intergenerational faith sharing that enlivens the church to be the body of Christ

6

together and in the world. Caroline is committed to the intergenerational ministry, modeled by Christ,

in which children and youth are as much leaders and teachers as they are followers and learners. As a

child growing up at Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Caroline remembers being

valued and taught by a loving community of faith. Caroline remained an active member at Mt.

Vernon through her young adulthood. It was there that she married her husband, Phillip, and it was

that there that their daughters, Helen and Hannah, were baptized. Caroline served there as a Sunday

School teacher for children and adults, member of the Pastor Nominating Committee, and member

of the Personnel Committee. Caroline studied religion at Davidson College in North Carolina and

holds a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. She

was the Director of the Childhood Development Center at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta

and then public elementary school for six years. In 2004, while her Phillip was serving his first church

in Monticello, Georgia, Caroline answered the call to pursue ordained ministry. Caroline and Phillip

were delighted to welcome their third child, Jacob, just after Caroline completed her first year of

seminary. Caroline earned her M. Div. from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia in

2008. Caroline and Phillip moved their family of five to Indianapolis in the winter of 2009. Helen

and Hannah are now grown women and Jacob is a twelve year old “boy/man”. Phillip is a member

of Ohio Valley Presbytery, serving as the head of staff at Corydon Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dennis

served two terms on the Whitewater Valley Presbytery Coordinating Council, including terms as Vice-

Moderator and Moderator of the Council. Caroline is serving her second term as Vice President of the

GLAPCE (Great Lakes Association of Presbyterian Christian Educators) Board. If elected, Caroline

will begin serving on the WWVP Commission on Ministry this year. Caroline is eager to serve as a

commissioner to the 223rd General Assembly of the PCUSA as a way of supporting churches large

and small to be vibrant witnesses to the love, hope, and justice we know in Jesus Christ

• Alternate Ruling Elder, Robert (Mick) Saunders – Lewisville, First Presbyterian Church

➢ Mick Saunders has served the Presbyterian Church faithfully in the roles of both Ruling Elder and

Commissioned Lay Pastor (now Commissioned Ruling Elder). As a member of the First Presbyterian

Church of Lewisville, Indiana, Mick was ordained as a Ruling Elder in 1977. He served in Rush

County as an educator (teacher and principal) from 1974-2003. During those years he also served as

the chaplain to the Rush County Jail and the Rush County Law Enforcement. After his retirement

from education, Mick completed the Commissioned Lay Pastor training offered by the Synod of

Lincoln Trails. Honoring a long sense of call to ministry, Mick served Trinity Presbyterian Church in

Rushville, Indiana as CLP/CRE. Mick has always admired the polity of the Presbyterian Church and

its focus on the unity of the Church. As he stated at the time of his commissioning to serve Trinity

Presbyterian, “To be Presbyterian is to be in relationship and covenant with other congregations and

under the authority of a presbytery. A synod functions in similar relationships with presbyteries, while

the General Assembly has jurisdiction over those things of common concern to the whole

church…our system works if we follow it.”

• Alternate Teaching Elder, Greg Steible – Rushville, First Presbyterian Church

➢ Rev. Greg Steible finds himself in Indiana by God’s grace. He grew in Dallas, Texas, attended college

in Oklahoma, and seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he met his wife, Kendra, from Juneau,

Alaska. And now they live in Rushville, and just had their first child, Lydia. He is currently serving

his first ordained call as the pastor of First Presbyterian Church, and is enjoying every bit of small

town ministry, from the calls in the middle of the night to go to the hospital, to the lovely pies that are

often given to him, to the faithful prayers and Bible studies, to the warm hearts of all those around

him. Greg grew up not really attending church at all, until as a high school student a friend invited

him to a Presbyterian youth group. Since that time, he has continually found himself drawn towards

the Reformed tradition and worship. During seminary, he realized the beauty of pastoral work and the

unique opportunity it provides to walk alongside people as they learn, grow, struggle, live, cry and

laugh. After seminary, he served in Kiskiminetas Presbytery in western Pennsylvania as a student

intern filling in for a pastor of a yoked parish who was in Rwanda for 6 months. In Whitewater Valley

Young Adult Advisory Delegate:

• Rosina Shipman – Indianapolis, Faith Presbyterian

➢ Rosina Shipman is a current junior at Ursinus College, a small liberal arts college, 45 minutes outside

of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is studying political science with the hopes of becoming a voice for

those who have been silenced by the American political system. Rosina grew up in the Presbyterian

Church and has sustained interest in the ethics and politics the church adopts. A pastor’s child, she

has been a part of multiple congregations in Washington, D.C.; Arlington, Virginia; and Indianapolis,

Indiana where her family settled at Faith Presbyterian Church. She received her confirmation at Faith

in April 2011. Each congregation has offered support, growth, friendship, and sense of belonging in

its own way. The Presbyterian Church has offered her both the means and opportunity to develop a

deep need to be an active part of resistance and change in the world. On campus, Rosina is part of

Scholars in Service, a student-led community service group that pairs undergraduates with service sites

seeking long-term volunteers. She is also an ardent member of United Students Against Sweatshops,

a national organization that equips students with the preparation and skill to organize peaceful action

against injustice in their community both on and off campus. She and her peers are currently

negotiating with Ursinus administration on behalf of college cleaning staff for reasonable living wages.

Also a part of the Ursinus College women’s rugby team, she serves as the team’s community service

chair. Rosina is interested in exploring her role in the church as a young adult and is excited for this

unique opportunity to do so. She believes the church is required to take action on issues of prejudice,

violence and injustice as they are presented in the 21st century and is excited and honored to be a part

of sharping the future of the PC (USA) as a Young Adult Advisory Delegate for the 2018 General

Assembly.

RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMISSION ON MINISTRY TO APPOINT AN ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION RELATED TO DISSOLVING

RICHMOND-REID MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

-----------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND The Richmond-Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church, its pastor Rev. Joe Fields, the Session, and the congregation have been in discernment and conversation for several months regarding the future of the congregation. The Session and church representatives have met with and sought the counsel of the Commission on Ministry’s liaison, the Executive Presbyter, and the Stated Clerk. As the discernment continued, representatives from Reid Memorial initiated conversation with Richmond-First to discuss how their active membership and leadership roles would be welcomed and honored. Both congregations concurred that the combined membership would elevate the mission and ministry of a Presbyterian presence in the Richmond community. At a congregational meeting October 22, the Richmond-Reid Memorial congregation voted to hold their final worship and witness November 5, 2017 and that their ministry would be complete. In matters of dissolving a congregation, the attitude of the Presbytery of Whitewater Valley, from beginning to end, shall always be pastoral. AUTHORITY The responsibility and power to dissolve a congregation is granted to Presbytery by the Book of Order and G-4.0205 and to appoint an Administrative Commission by Presbytery Standing Rules (14 Commissions for Special Service). The COM believes the procedural dissolution of a congregation is best accomplished through an Administrative Commission. Therefore, the Commission on Ministry, in consultation with the Executive Presbyter and Stated Clerk, recommend approval of the following resolution: RESOVLED: For the purpose of dissolving the Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Indiana, the Whitewater Valley Presbytery appoints an Administrative Commission to act on Presbytery’s behalf, effective November 5, 2017 with the following powers and functions for the purpose of dissolving the congregation in a timeframe required to complete the work:

• meet and consult with the former Session members to facilitate the work of the Commission;

• to arrange for the pastoral care of the members;

• to publicize the dissolution of the congregation;

• to ascertain the financial status and outstanding financial obligations of the congregation, secure the Session records, secure the legal rights to all property (real or personal) held by or for the benefit of the congregation;

• to dispose of the moveable personal property of the congregation, secure the building and property, attend to matters of insurance, dispose of the building and grounds (subject to the approval and/or concurrence by the Board of Directors) or convey the building and grounds to The Presbytery of Whitewater Valley, Inc.;

• to recommend to the Presbytery the use of the assets of the congregation;

• to assure that a Service of Witness is conducted and to participate in that service;

• to secure the assistance of other individuals, as appropriate, to assist with its work, and generally to do such things and take such actions for, in the name of, and on behalf of Whitewater Valley Presbytery as shall be reasonably necessary to accomplish the general purpose of this resolution;

• at the conclusion of its work, the report and recommendations of the Administrative Commission will be presented, when appropriate, to the Presbytery Assembly for action.

We are Justice Advocates, a newly organizing group within the presbytery concerned about

social justice issues. Our group’s goal is to support churches who wish to initiate or expand

their involvement in current issues such as racism, immigration, drug addiction, human

trafficking, re-entry after incarceration, domestic violence, gun violence, and/or

environmental issues. We are also in the process of identifying links to other national and

local groups with whom churches can partner. We plan to be action-oriented.

We need your help in identifying what your church is doing in regard to social justice and

what would help you grow your advocacy in the areas most critical to your church and

community. At the November 1st presbytery meeting, you will have an opportunity to

provide this type of information. Look for the wall posters where you can give us some

input to target our group’s efforts and provide your church with the resources you need.

If you have a heart for social justice advocacy, our group would welcome your participation.
