Former military officer with leadership responsibilities. Current position/occupation: Director of Operations, Wamego Public Schools Statement: I fully realize that there are different components to our church, from our individual relationships with God, our collective worship communities and the various levels of governance within the church. All of these components are separate but interlocked to create our polity, a tri-union as it were. I feel I’ve been asked to this mission by the Holy Spirit to enhance my sense of the Great Commission and its opportunity to provide for the structure that helps spread the Good News. These last three years serving on the Council have been illuminating to this end, as well as rewarding in knowing that the Spirit is at work through the Council of Trustees.

Vestry member and senior warden, licensed Worship Leader, Eucharistic Minister, choir member. Current position/occupation: Vice-president, AFIX Technologies, Inc.

As we continue to face an ever-changing and challenging world, I hope to continue to seek those opportunities and to help provide voice for all the Episcopalians in the Diocese of Kansas.

My background and my involvement with other parishes and Episcopal dioceses will bring additional perspective and ideas that would hopefully be of benefit to the Diocese of Kansas.

I believe that I was called to “Love as Christ has Loved,” not to judge others, to accept others just as they are, to be an instrument of His love, to be Christ’s love to the world, and to bring the world to Christ. I believe I can best serve Christ by serving as pray lead voice of conscience and reason, a listening ear, tempered by a heart and soul in daily communication with my God.

Church leadership: I have not previously been involved in church matters. Current position/occupation: Statement: I have difficulty in explaining my desire to become a part of the church beyond a simple member. I came to my faith very late in life and have a great deal to learn. I believe involvement to a greater degree is necessary for me to further my development. I do believe I have a great deal of valuable experience to bring. I was a Marine officer, a police officer and a chief of police, and finally as HR manager for the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing. I would like to be able, at this time in my life, to bring any benefit I might have available to me to aid the church and to thank Father Matthew Zimmermann for his assistance in bringing me to Christ.

As the fourth alternate, my attendance wasn’t required by the diocese. But because of the importance of the Convention, I chose to fully participate. As an alternate, I had the chance to see many different sessions, including the House of Deputies, the House of Bishops, and the Structure and Governance Committee. Seeing the Church at work shaping our polity, working for social justice and redefining ourselves to meet the needs of today was an exciting and spiritual experience. We have a great deal of work in front of us, and I’d like the chance to bring my knowledge of the process and my love of our church to the next General Convention.

Director of Youth Ministries at St. Columba’s, Washington, D.C. Current position/occupation: Statement: As a lay deputy to General Convention in 2015, I was honored to join my fellow Kansas deputies in representing our diocese. It was a busy couple of weeks, and I learned a lot. I enjoyed being a part of the legislative process for such a monumental General Convention and would be humbled to serve again in 2018. The theological and practical issues facing our Church continue to grow in complexity, and it behooves Kansas to have young but experienced voices as part of these national and international conversations. I believe that my long history of service to the Church (inside and outside the diocese) has prepared me well to offer an informed, Kansas voice to the deliberations of the Church.

Being from a scientific background and actively conducting renewable energy research, I am well informed about environmental issues that face the world today.

I have been coming to our Diocesan Convention for more than 10 years and have enjoyed learning about the church on a deeper level. I have experience on a local and diocesan level, and I have been fortunate to witness the church on a national level as a lay deputy to the last General Convention, through the sacristan position at Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, N.C., and at the Episcopal Youth Event in 2008. After many years of formation from the diocese, I feel called to continue contributing more to the national church and the ongoing conversations that make the church what it is.

While serving on the Constitution and Canons Committee, I was able to amend the new disciplinary canons in order to provide needed legal safeguards for clergy. I am proud of the work that General Convention has done since 2003 to bring LGBT people into full inclusion in the Episcopal Church. It is my hope that my experience and service at General Convention will benefit the members of our diocese and assist other deputies to General Convention.

We still have not addressed all of the issues of Reimagining the Church and we have yet to hear the report on the Task Force on Marriage. I have served on the Episcopal Church Foundation Committee for the last two conventions, and I feel that continuity on that committee will be of benefit as we deal with issues of our endowment and health insurance over the next several years. I hope to help build a better church for future generations of Episcopalians.

Nominees for Election — General Convention deputy Clergy nominees • General Convention deputy/Provincial Synod delegate, 3-year term (vote for 4) The Very Rev. Don Compier

Dean, Bishop Kemper School for Ministry

Church leadership: Diocesan Canon Theologian; associate priest for Hispanic Ministry at St. Paul’s, Kansas City; diocesan diversity team; board member, Episcopal Association of Deacons; member of Episcopal Church Foundation Team Ministry Task Force. Current position/occupation: Dean, Bishop Kemper School for Ministry Statement: As the Episcopal Church faces significant missional challenges, our diocese’s voice is vital, as in many ways our situation is a harbinger of things to come from the whole denomination. I am significantly involved in several key areas, namely emerging Latino/a ministries and “local formation” to equip bi-vocational priests, deacons and lay ministers for the needs of tomorrow’s church. I hope to forge more connections and learn lessons at the General Convention that will help me to serve more effectively our diocese and the broader church. I believe that the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry should have presence and voice there. We do not have our own funds to make this possible.

The Rev. Patrick Funston Rector, St. Paul’s, Manhattan

Church leadership: Deputy to General Convention 2015; member of General Convention legislative committee on Environmental Stewardship and Care of Creation; member, Presiding Bishop’s Advisory Council on the Stewardship of Creation; member of the diocesan Council of Trustees and Council liaison to the Commission on Ministry; MegaCamp junior high program director; formerly Mega camp elementary chaplain; former member, diocesan Campus Ministry Council; former Campus Ministry intern at K-State.

Having poured myself into the work of committee and General Convention, I was noticed by leadership and appointed to serve as the Province VII representative on an advisory council to the Presiding Bishop and President of the House of Deputies. I am grateful to continue to bring a Kansas voice to these national and international conversations. Attending General Convention and serving the wider Church has been spiritually and professionally fulfilling, and I would like to continue to minister in this way.

Nominees for Election — General Convention deputy Clergy nominees • General Convention deputy/Provincial Synod delegate, 3-year term (vote for 4) The Rev. Christine Gilson Rector, Trinity, El Dorado

Church leadership: Former member of diocesan Council of Trustees. Former member of Province 7 Network for Christian Formation. In the Diocese of West Missouri was a deputy to General Convention in 2012, and alternate in 2009 and 2006; dean of the Southern Deanery; member of Diocesan Council; member of Christian Formation Committee, Liturgics and Spiritual Formation Committee and Congregational Development Committee; lay member of Diocesan Councils in two previous dioceses. Current position/occupation: Rector, Trinity, El Dorado Statement: I want to serve as a deputy to General Convention for several reasons. First, I love the worship, polity and ethos of The Episcopal Church. However, there is sometimes an “urban bias” to church decisions, and the voices of congregations outside the cities need to be heard at the national level. I also value bringing the voice of the larger church to my own congregation. Parishioners in smaller congregations sometimes feel left out of the larger church. Deputy participation at the national level not only gives them a voice, but allows them to learn more directly how the Church functions. Finally, I enjoy participating in the worship and community that enfolds the convention. Those things, as well as our unique political process, enliven me and those with whom I share my experiences.

The Rev. Dixie Junk

Priest in Charge, St. Paul’s, Kansas City

Church leadership: Deputy to General Convention 2015; member of General Convention legislative committee on Evangelism and Communications; diocesan Jubilee officer; member of diocesan Commission on Architecture and Allied Arts; member of the Council of Advice for Latino/Hispanic Ministries of the Episcopal Church, including member of the New Camino Latino Ministry Conference team; workshop presenter and panelist at Nuevo Amanacer in 2012, 2014 and 2016; former member of Nuevo Amanacer design team; former member of Jubilee Ministry grant review team; former workshop presenter at New Community Clergy and Lay Conference, Kanuga Conference Center; former camp director and counselor at diocesan summer camp. Current position/occupation: Priest in Charge, St. Paul’s, Kansas City Statement: I have a passion for the Episcopal Church and believe the Jesus Movement embodied by our denomination has much to offer our fractured and hurting world. In particular I feel called to serve the historically marginalized voices of our St. Paul’s, Kansas City, community, our diocese and the wider church that this position affords. I am energized by the dynamic, diverse and talented leaders in the Episcopal Church – lay and clergy – that I work alongside whenever I am privileged to serve the wider church. I welcome the chance to debate the issues of the wider church, to represent our diocese, and to face the opportunities and challenges that will engage the 2018 General Convention as we continue to discern God’s call.

Assistant Rector, St. Thomas’, Overland Park

Church leadership: Alternate to General Convention in 2012; member of diocesan Commission on Ministry; member of the Board of Directors of Episcopal Community Services in Kansas City. Current position/occupation: Assistant rector, St. Thomas’, Overland Park Statement: I am seeking election as a deputy to General Convention not only to continue to fulfill my vow to share in the councils of the Church but to do so in a way that makes a lasting impact on the life of the Church. The decisions made and the conversations shared at General Convention shape the immediate and long-term future of The Episcopal Church. Many of these decisions and conversations center around how the Church will be both relevant and mission-oriented in the 21st century. I feel called to be a part of this ministry, and to be able to represent the Diocese of Kansas in this would be both an honor and joy.

Deacon Craig Klein

Deacon, St. David’s, Topeka

Church leadership: In a previous diocese served two terms as a member of Diocesan Council and the diocesan Board of Directors. In another diocese was a member of Diocesan Council and served on the Commission on Ministry, working on revising a diaconal handbook for ordination. Also assisted Board of Examining Chaplains and served as an alternate deputy to General Convention in 2003. Current position/occupation: Federal grant administrator, Washburn University Statement: I am a deacon in our diocese who serves St. David’s in Topeka. I seek to attend the 2018 General Convention/Provincial Synod, and believe that a clergy deputation from our diocese would be enhanced by the presence of a deacon. No deacon represented our diocese in Salt Lake City last year. The diaconate is a unique ministry with a unique calling. As such, it brings a distinct and needed voice to such proceedings. I am called to serve in this way, have experience and believe I can offer a keen and discerning mind and heart.

I try to learn something new every day and have a commitment to education and dedication to the church. I am flexible enough to work with a variety of people in changing environments, and I’m a problem solver.

The Rev. Laurie Lewis

Rector, Trinity, Arkansas City, and Grace, Winfield

Church leadership: Deputy to General Convention in 2015; current member of the Council of Trustees; Council liaison to the Campus Ministry Council; co-mentor for Episcopal Campus Ministry of Wichita. Current position/occupation: Rector, Trinity, Arkansas City, and Grace, Winfield Statement: I served as a first-time deputy from this diocese to General Convention in 2015. As one of the members of our Kansas deputation who was not assigned to a committee, I attended the committee on Formation and Education for Ministry. I attended every meeting (even the 7 a.m. ones) and educated myself on the legislation being considered, and I testified on four issues. Earning a position to participate in the next General Convention will increase the likelihood of getting assigned to a committee where I can more directly contribute to the policies of the wider Episcopal Church. If elected I will bring the perspective and needs of small town parishes, as well as multiparish cities and diocesan needs.

I seek to serve Christ through things as deceptively ordinary as legislative process and committee work. My prayer is that through preparing for and participating in General Convention, I may bear a clear, strong and wise witness to how the Spirit is at work.

Inspired by the commitment our diocese has for extending Jesus Christ’s work in the world, I know we are a vital part of what Presiding Bishop Curry calls the Jesus Movement. My enthusiasm for our diocese, combined with my previous experience as an alternate deputy in 2015, is what I will faithfully offer in service to the larger church as a deputy to General Convention and Provincial Synod.

Current position/occupation: Vicar, St. Francis’, Overland Park Statement: As a graduate of the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry and a bivocational priest, I represent the future of ordained ministry within the Episcopal Church. My current focus and challenge is the sustainability of a congregation while also working full-time outside the church. I believe I offer a unique perspective. Additionally, as a professional fundraiser for the past 25 years, I see great need within the church to advance stewardship, especially with regard to estate giving. We should not in any way shy away from fundraising at the parish level and beyond. It is through our financial resources we are able to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world. Finally, I am a grateful and joyful Episcopalian and want to be of help to our wonderful faith!

Proposed 2017 Mission Plan, Narrative Bethany Place

Upton Hall Conference Center is being utilized more than in the past. The 22-bed 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

Three 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 initiative continues the diocese’s 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 continue its commitment for 2017 in order to help pay the salary and benefits for a full-time dean, the Very Rev. Don Compier, as well as for partial tuition for students from the Diocese of Kansas, as determined by the dean of BKSM.

Campus Ministry

The Campus Missioner position currently is vacant. However, it is anticipated by the start of 2017 that a Campus Missioner will have been hired. 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 Gathering • Archdeacons • Convocation Deans • Chrism Mass

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.

Proposed 2017 Mission Plan, Narrative Communications

This area includes the cost of printing, labeling and mailing The Harvest, the diocesan quarterly magazine, as well as producing the diocesan Directory and Convention Journal provided to all clergy and parish offices. It also includes 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.

Congregational Development

In 2016, Debbie Kremers was hired as Missioner for Transitions. In that role she assist parishes in the search process. $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 loan over a 30-year 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, $24,155, 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 2017 mission plan provides for the monthly Council of Trustee meetings, the Trustees’ annual retreat and other Council expenses. A new item that appeared in 2016, strategic planning, once again appears in the 2017 mission plan.

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.

Proposed 2017 Mission Plan, Narrative 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 2017 mission plan provides for the full asking to support the work of The Episcopal Church. The asking for the wider church decreases for 2017 as the result of a phased-in decrease in diocesan askings that was approved by General Convention last year. Funding by the diocese to support the Sustainable Development Goals is included in the mission plan. 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 Migration Ministries-Wichita • Anti-Racism/Disability Awareness Training • Sustainable Development Goals

Office of the Bishop

This area of the 2017 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. The Rev. George Wiley will continue to serve as Canon Pastor for 2017.

Office of the Canon to the Ordinary

The Canon to the Ordinary is the chief administrative officer for the diocese. The canon also serves as the deployment officer for the diocese.

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 provide internship experience for clergy. This partnership allows 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.

Proposed rules of debate 1. Whenever possible, speakers will be called in alternating order of their positions on the issue under consideration. 2. 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.
