Proposed 2016 Mission Plan, Narrative

The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas proposed 2016 mission plan Sources of Resources

The proposed 2016 mission plan for the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas is funded primarily through apportionment. Apportionment accounts for 77.1 percent of the resources to fund the 2016 mission plan. The remainder of the funding is provided by investment earnings (11.8 percent) and fees and other income (11.1 percent). The projected draw on the endowment for 2016 will be 5 percent. The proposed apportionment for 2016 of $1,411,314 compares to previous years as follows: 2015 $1,404,568 2014 $1,403,737 2013 $1,380,577 2012 $1,317,321 2011 $1,353,342 2010 $1,357,596 2009 $1,365,000 2008 $1,329,562 2007 $1,282,375 2006 $1,194,484 2005 $1,299,543 2004 $1,299,205 The proposed effective apportionment rate for 2016 will remain at 17.5 percent. From 2004 through 2015, the effective rate has held steady at 17.50 percent.

Uses of Resources

Expenses in the 2016 mission plan reflect an increase of 1 percent over 2015. The proposed expenses for 2016 and for the previous 12 years are: 2016 $1,830,293 2015 $1,808,798 2014 $1,744,447 2013 $1,606,169 2012 $1,874,248 2011 $1,862,745 2010 $1,798,885 2009 $1,928,963 2008 $1,797,338 2007 $1,632,355 2006 $1,402,178 2005 $1,364,443 2004 $1,360,205

Nothing will separate us from the love of God â&#x20AC;˘ The 156th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

Proposed 2016 Mission Plan, Narrative In response to requests from the convocations, there has been a slight change in format on how the mission plan is presented. As with last year’s mission plan, we list separately the expected total cost of each fee-generating event under expenses, as well as the corresponding anticipated fee revenue for each event under income.

Adult Formation

For 2016 there will be continued emphasis on Education for Ministry (EFM) training and mentoring. The Diocese of Kansas has been deeply involved in EFM and has as many or more graduates than many dioceses of comparable size or larger. In 2015 the diocese conducted one EFM mentor training session.

Bethany Place

The recently remodeled Upton Hall Conference Center is being utilized more than in the past. The 22bed conference center serves students enrolled in the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry from the dioceses of Kansas, West Missouri, Nebraska and Western Kansas. It also hosts monthly meetings of the Council of Trustees and is available for use by parish organizations, agencies and select community organizations. Items associated with Bethany Place are the utilities, supplies, maintenance and upkeep of the grounds.

Bishop Kemper School for Ministry

Two years ago the Diocese of Kansas entered into a formal partnership with the dioceses of West Missouri, Nebraska and Western Kansas to create the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry. This new initiative builds on and expands the Kansas School for Ministry and continues its historic commitment to forming lay leaders, bi-vocational priests and deacons for ministry. BKSM is overseen by a board of directors with representatives from all four dioceses. The Diocese of Kansas is being asked to make a significant increase its commitment for 2016 in order to help pay the salary and benefits for its full-time dean, the Rev. Don Compier, and a part-time assistant. This section of the mission plan provides resources for the Bishop Kemper School and for partial tuition for students from the Diocese of Kansas, as determined by the dean of BKSM.

Campus Ministry

The Rev. Stephanie Jenkins is working with the Campus Ministry Council to configure and carry out campus ministry in the Diocese of Kansas. Two interns will be serving the diocese and assisting the Campus Missioner.

Clergy Support

Clergy Support encompasses important functions for the clergy of the diocese. The functions under Clergy Support include: • Gathering of Presbyters • Deacons Retreat • Archdeacons • Convocation Deans • Chrism Mass

Nothing will separate us from the love of God • The 156th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

Proposed 2016 Mission Plan, Narrative Commission on Ministry

The Commission on Ministry (COM) is required by Title III of the Constitutions and Canons of the Episcopal Church. The Commission on Ministry is charged with finding persons who can best fill the ministry needs of the diocese; thus, a vocational discernment process and program have been established. COM works in the discernment process not only with candidates but also with convocation discernment committees. As advisors to COM, the Examining Chaplains are responsible for reviewing the General Ordination Examinations of seminarians.

Communications

This area includes the cost of printing, labeling and mailing The Harvest, the diocesan quarterly magazine, as well as the diocesan Directory and Convention Journal provided to all clergy and parish offices, and expenses related to the Office of Communications.. This office also is responsible for the diocesan website and the biweekly electronic newsletter DioLog. The director also oversees diocesan social media channels, as well as printed communications for the bishop’s office, and is available to consult with parishes on communication issues, including website development, and print and digital publications.

Community Life

This area includes items related to meetings that incorporate aspects of our common life as a community of faith. Included are the expenses for the annual Diocesan Convention, as well as the escrow for the General Convention. Because of rising costs, the escrow for General Convention, which next meets in 2018 in Austin, Texas, is increased by $2,000.

Congregational Development

In 2015, Dave Seifert has been assisting parishes in the search process. With his departure from the diocese, a search is ongoing for an individual to fill this role. $20,000 has been allocated to assist St. Paul’s, Kansas City, with its Hispanic ministry. St. Paul’s offers a weekly service in Spanish and also is deeply involved in outreach to the Hispanic community. In 2013, in an effort to help St. Margaret’s, Lawrence, recover from its very high mortgage debt, the Council of Trustees authorized the diocese to take out a loan to pay off St. Margaret’s debt. In turn, St. Margaret’s has agreed to pay all their apportionment plus pay the diocese back for this new loan over a 30year period. The amount the diocese is paying on the loan per year, $110,907, is listed under expenses of Congregational Development, while the amount St. Margaret’s is repaying the diocese, $22,682, is listed in the income section of the mission plan. The Congregational Development Committee plans and hosts one or two events per year for congregations to learn more about church growth, evangelism, stewardship, etc. The committee also is available to work with individual parishes in the diocese to assist them in growth and development.

Council of Trustees

This part of the 2016 mission plan provides for the monthly Council of Trustee meetings, the Trustees’ annual retreat and other Council expenses. A new item for 2016 is $5,000 allotted for strategic planning.

Nothing will separate us from the love of God • The 156th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

Proposed 2016 Mission Plan, Narrative Liturgy, Arts and Music

The mission of the Liturgy, Arts and Music Commission is to support the congregations in the diocese, that we may better celebrate our life in Christ through worship. The commission continues to work with the bishop on ordination liturgies for priests and deacons, and plans and coordinates worship for the Diocesan Convention.

Mission Management

The salaries and benefits of all clergy and lay employees of the diocese have been grouped in this section. The operations and facilities expenses of the diocesan office are included in this area. Among major items in this area are retiree health insurance, computers, utilities, maintenance, property and liability insurance, and the annual audit.

Mission and Outreach

The Diocese of Kansas continues to be a strong supporter of the wider church. Our diocese has participated at the full asking for many years. Once again, the 2016 mission plan provides for the full asking to support the work of The Episcopal Church. Full participation by the diocese in the Millennium Development Goals is included in the mission plan. An increase of $1,750 will allow the diocese to offer more sessions of the canonically mandated anti-racism training. Areas supported by Mission and Outreach are: • Episcopal Church Apportionment • Province VII Apportionment • Episcopal Community Services in Kansas City • Episcopal Social Services in Wichita • Bishop Seabury Academy in Lawrence • Episcopal Wichita Area Refugee Ministry • Anti-Racism/Disability Awareness Training • Millennium Development Goals

Office of the Bishop

This area of the 2016 mission plan provides for the support of the bishop in his work, both in the Diocese of Kansas and in the wider church. Funding allows for the bishop to work together with the other bishops of the Episcopal Church through the House of Bishops and other special committees on which Bishop Wolfe serves. A new line item, Canon Pastor, was added for the 2016 mission plan. The role of Canon Pastor is filled by the Rev. George Wiley.

Office of the Canon to the Ordinary

The Canon to the Ordinary is the chief administrative officer for the diocese. In May of this year, the Rev. Torey Lightcap was called as the new canon. Canon Lightcap brings many skills to this important position.

Nothing will separate us from the love of God • The 156th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

Proposed 2016 Mission Plan, Narrative Seminarian and Curate Support

As part of investing in our future, the Diocese of Kansas provides assistance for future priests of the Episcopal Church. Twice a year the diocese provides grants to those from our diocese attending a residential seminary. The diocese also partners with specific parishes to allow newly ordained clergy to gain valuable parish experience as a curate, and the parishes benefit from their ministry.

Stewardship and Development

The Stewardship and Development Committee works to provide resources and services to the parishes of the diocese. The Rev. Art Rathbun is currently working in the area of stewardship and development.

Youth Ministries

Karen Schlabach has been faithfully serving the diocese as youth missioner. The work performed in this area of the mission plan helps lay the foundation for future lay leaders and priests in the Episcopal Church. These are some of the youth events planned for 2016: • Miqra • Happening • New Beginnings • Summer MegaCamp • Fall Festival • YouthTide • Girls Only/Guys Only Retreat • Summer Event Rotation

Speakers will be limited to two (2) minutes on an issue under consideration, except that: a) A speaker may speak again to any amendment, with a two (2) minute time limit again applying; and b) A speaker may answer questions of information. 3. While motions to call the previous question (close debate), limit debate, postpone to a set time, postpone indefinitely or commit are acceptable at any time, the motion will be effective only after all speakers already at the microphone have had an opportunity to speak. 4.

The removal of one or more items from the consent calendar is not subject to a vote. d) Items so removed shall be voted upon separately and are subject to debate. Explanation: A convention is a gathering of the community of the church in this place. Communities that are functional listen to one another and give each person an opportunity to speak. These proposed rules of debate are designed to advance our life at this â&#x20AC;&#x153;community reunion.â&#x20AC;? Some items will be judged by the Committee on Dispatch of Business to be items on which delegates are in full agreement. These items, such as courtesy resolutions, will be placed on a consent calendar. However, should a delegate feel that an item deserves either debate or comment, that item may be removed from the consent calendar as provided for above. In all our discussions, we seek to know Christ and to make Christ known.
