The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church Thursday Oct. 6, 2022 Clergy Session (Virtual) Opening Worship The 2022 Upper New York Annual Conference opened on October 6, 2022, at 9 a.m. with a time of Worship, through a pre-recorded video. Along with prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and poems, Bishop Webb shared a message encouraging us to reclaim the hope promised – the hope we have in Jesus – despite the troubling times we live in. When we let God lead, giving our struggles to God – when we give our entire selves to and unite completely with God, we will be the Church of Jesus Christ. Mission HUB Rev. Bill Gottschalk-Fielding, Assistant to the Bishop and Director of Connectional Ministries, introduced Mrs. Kristina Clark, the Director of Missional Engagement. To launch the offering for Mission Central HUB (the HUB), Mrs. Clark shared, “At the HUB we are focused primarily on three things: mission outreach, mission education, and disaster relief. But it all boils down to engaging people into the Christian call to love one another more fully by nurturing relationships with our neighbors near and far and giving from the abundance of our lives.” Mrs. Clark explained about an expanded vision of the HUB that recognizes “the everyday, socio-economic disasters that are all around us, in every community throughout our Conference,” and shared some examples of the fruit of their labor. We were reminded that the work of the HUB is 100% supported by donations. An offering was collected. The final offering as of 11/31/2022 has yielded $2,069.77 to support this valuable ministry. Clergy Session Rev. Carmen Perry welcomed everyone to clergy session and introduced Rev. Rick LaDue & Rev. Kristen Allen before turning us over to David Wood from Good News TV (GNTV). Mr. Wood conducted a training session on how to use technology to get recognized from the floor during our virtual gathering. A practice vote was held. Mr. Wood included a reminder that not everyone registered is eligible to vote in every ballot. Bishop Mark Webb called us to Order by expressing regrets at not being able to join in-person, gratitude for the clergy who are the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities, and assurances that we are all held in his prayers. Bishop introduced those in the room: at the table with Bishop were Rev. Rick LaDue and Rev. Carmen Perry, Co-Chairs of Board of Ordained Ministry (BoOM); and Rev. Kristen Allen, BoOM Status Division Chair. Rev. Ann Kemper, Registrar of BoOM; Mrs. Mary Bradley, Episcopal Office Manager; Mrs. Mary Dalglish, Video Specialist; and GNTV Tech and Staff are also in the room. Rev. Perry began our time of devotion that encouraged clergy to notice the unseen among us and remember that Jesus always sees us where we are. Rev. Ladue closed our devotion time suggesting that our calling as clergy is to keep our focus on Jesus while taking time to build (or re-build) relationship. Rev. Perry ended the time of devotion in prayer. Rev. Perry introduced the offering for the Clergy Care fund that as of 11/30/22 has yielded $2,155.30 to support this valuable ministry. (Note: During Clergy Session, the Laity Session was held, that included an offering that, as of 11/30/2022, has yielded $1,275.84 to support the Helping Hands Fund, also a valuable ministry). Rev. LaDue explained voting privileges as stated in the Book of Discipline and made the Organizational Motion, which carried with a 159/1 vote.

Rev. Perry turned us to PART II of the Business of the Annual Conference form as it pertains to licensed and ordained ministers in 2022 and asked that any corrections be emailed to Mary Bradley in the Bishop’s office. 13.

Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and official administration (¶¶604.4, 605.7)? Dean of the cabinet, Rev. Mike Weeden explained, “In almost every case, our clergy members are blameless in life and character. The performance of every ordained minister and local pastor has been reviewed by the Bishop and the Cabinet. Where there is concern or basis for a grievance, it is being pursued with the knowledge of the member involved.”

The entire report was approved by a vote of 157/3. Bishop Webb noted that this was his last time in clergy session as bishop for Upper New York and expressed gratitude for each member of the clergy, the work they do, and the ways they live into the call of Jesus Christ. Bishop Webb will continue to hold the clergy in prayer as we live out our call, that our connection to Jesus Christ grows deeper, and that we hold one another in love and accountability. Bishop Webb apologized for any decisions that may have caused harm or frustration and pledged to cheer on the work of the Upper New York Annual Conference. He encouraged the clergy to never stop making the main thing, the main thing – to hold fast to the mission for Jesus and the Gospel – to be dependent on God’s Spirit. Rev. Perry offered a closing prayer and Rev. LaDue offered a word of benediction. Rev. Debbie Earthrowl offered a blessing before lunch.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church Thursday Oct. 6, 2022 (Virtual) Afternoon Session Call to Order and Welcome – Bishop Mark Webb called the 13th Annual Conference Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference (UNYAC) to order at 1:30 p.m. and welcomed everyone to the remote gathering, extending an extra welcome to those attending for the first time. Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding expressed gratitude for the lands throughout the UNYAC on which we now meet and shared a map of the UNYAC that highlights the Native American roots of each region. Bishop Webb thanked all those who have been working “behind the scenes” to allow us to meet virtually, particularly the Communications Department. Bishop then turned us over to Good News TV (GNTV). David Wood from GNTV conducted a training session on how to use the technology to get recognized from the floor during our virtual gathering. Mr. Wood also explained how to cast a ballot and led a practice vote. Mr. Wood reminded us that not everyone registered is eligible to vote in every ballot. Bishop Webb welcomed those watching through the live stream and explained how to access the links to the offerings and documents that will be part of the work of Conference. Bishop Webb turned to a video from the Commission on Religion and Race that explained how and why we monitor demographics of those who participate in AC by speaking from the floor and/or as part of worship. All were asked to include their name, identified gender, clergy or laity, race/ethnicity, church, and district as a self-introduction at the beginning of all comments. The Rev. Carolyn Stow, Secretary, explained the need for and called for a vote to approve those attending as Equalization Members. She explained who can cast a ballot in this vote and that the slate of Equalization Members can be found in the on the addendum page of the conference website. Rev. Stow shared corrections of removing Raquel Alston and Tanya Spencer, who were elected to full clergy status in the morning’s Clergy Session. The slate was approved by a 478/14 vote. The Organizational Motion as found on pages 7 and 8 in the 2022 Conference Journal I was made by Rev. Stow and approved by a 485/11 vote. The agenda and consent calendar as found on pages 9 and 10 in the Journal Part I were introduced by Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding. An updated agenda with times adjusted to allow for video lengths can be found on the UNYAC website. Frances Macauley was recognized for comment but could not be heard due to technical difficulties. Both the agenda as adjusted, and the consent calendar were adopted by a 507/8 vote. Leadership Report Jessica White, Associate Lay Leader, and the Rev. Mike Weeden, Dean of the Cabinet, reviewed the mission, vision, and purpose of the UNY Conference. Ms. White shared that since 2013, various leadership teams and churches throughout the UNAYC have been working “to increase the number of leaders and vitality of congregations” using the L3 (love, learn, lead) model.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Rev. Weeden taught about Ministry Action Plans (MAPs) and shared the MAP that the Conference Leadership Team has developed. Rev. Weeden explained, “We believe Jesus changes his church - and through his church, the world - through leaders. Jesus could do this work differently, but he’s chosen to work through called and equipped leaders serving in local churches. ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ “That’s why our ministry action plan to help 50% of congregations become highly vital by 2025 is based on discovering, developing, and deploying hundreds of leaders, specifically Christ-following Transformational Leaders.” Rev. Weeden and Ms. White shared details of strategy and examples of success from the MAP before sharing a video of a panel discussion about the L3 way of doing church. Ms. White ended the Leadership Report by leading a unison reading of John Wesley’s Covenant Prayer. UNYUMC-2022.6 – Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy Carmen Vianese, Delegation Chair, brought forth the resolution which was brought by the Jurisdictional Conference Delegation and was seconded. Ms. Vianese read the motion with the process that would be used if the resolution passes. Whereas, the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference, if authorized by the special called session on October 15, will begin with Episcopal interviews on November 1st; Whereas the Annual Conference is able to endorse a nominee for the episcopacy under paragraph 405 of The Book Discipline; Therefore, be it resolved; the Upper New Conference will engage in a process of discernment while in session for the purpose of endorsing a candidate to stand for election at the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church; Therefore, be it further resolved, the conference will use the following process of discernment and decisionmaking to endorsement a candidate for the episcopacy in the Northeastern Jurisdiction: Voting Process Immediately following the approval of the motion to raise a nominee from the Upper New York Conference, the following process will be used: 1. The names received in advance will be shared by the head of the delegation and, after a moment of prayer, the floor will be open for any new names to be shared. 2. Once all names have been raised, the conference will address other business while each person whose name has been raised can be contacted and either agree to accept or reject their potential nomination. Once all potential nominees have been contacted and confirmed, the following process will be used for voting on the remaining list of potential nominees: a. (IF POSSIBLE) The persons whose names have been raised will have three minutes to introduce themselves to the Annual Conference. NOTE: If more than six names have been raised, an initial vote will take place and the top six will be given the opportunity to speak to the conference.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

b. The slate of potential nominees is placed on a single ballot. Should one candidate receive more than 60% of the vote on the first ballot, that person will be UNYs endorsed candidate. If no candidate receives more than 60% of the vote, the top three candidates will be put to the next ballot. c. The three top candidates are voted upon with the two candidates with the highest vote totals progressing to the next ballot. d. The two top candidates are voted upon with the candidate with the highest vote totals progressing to the next ballot. e. The final name is voted upon, if they receive more than 60% of the vote, they will be UNY's endorsed candidate. Ms. Vianese explained that a few names had already been brought forward. Bishop Webb echoed one of Ms. Vienese’s points; “this is not about identifying or voting for who will be UNYAC Bishop in the future. Anyone elected will be brought before the Jurisdictional Conference to be voted upon there.” Petition UNYUMC-2022.6, Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy, was carried with a 480/53 vote. The first part of the process to elect an episcopal candidate was led by Ms. Vianese with the expectation that the second part is to be completed later. Ms. Vianese explained that of 14 nominations already received, Michelle Bogue-Trost, Stephen Cady, Wendy Deichmann, Richelle Goff, Sherri Rood, and Heather Williams are the six who have accepted. Nominees who came from the floor were to be contacted for acceptance of the nomination by Ms. Vianese, who led a prayer of discernment. Bishop Webb called for nominations. Sharon Barter wanted to speak to this but could not be heard due to technical difficulties. Mr. Ian Urriolla nominated Rev. Dr. Giovanni Arroyo, who is serving in the Baltimore-Washington Conference. Rev. Ron Wenzinger asked why this information was not available earlier. Ms. Vianese explained that it was not until June that the Judicial Council let delegations know that the Jurisdictional Conference would take place and the delegation then completed its work as quickly as possible. It was put on the UNYAC website on Monday. Board of Pension (BoPHB) Report and Recommendation(s) Rev. Sara Baron, chair, explained the work of the Board of Pension and shared gratitude for those who are on the board. “This work requires careful attention to detail, a desire to care well for both churches and for clergy and lay employees and intentionality in creating policies that reflect god's justice in the world,” Rev. Baron explained. The arrearage collection delay that was enacted in response to COVID remains in place. Local churches will only be charged 3% of the anticipated 12% increase in healthcare coverage for 2023, while the board absorbs the balance. Rev. Baron also explained that there are no other changes, including the Wespath HealthFlex Exchange implemented in 2021 that remains in place for 2023. Special grants made in 2021 totaled $22,407.36 across five recipients. Rev. Baron explained what happens when an active clergy person leaves the UMC and what will happen if the Compass Program passes General Conference. She also reported that there are no changes to the retiree health reimbursable accounts, and none are proposed for the future.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The Board recommended The Upper New York Annual Conference adopt the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for retired, terminated or disabled clergypersons of the Conference: Housing/Rental Allowance Resolution 2023 found on pages 18 of the 2022 Conference Journal I and abbreviated here proposes the UNYAC adopt the Housing/Rental Exclusion Resolution which designates 100% of United Methodist pension, severance or disability income as housing exclusion in accordance with IRS Code section 107 is approved for the year Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, as follows: Now Therefore Be It Resolved: 1. That an amount equal to 100% of the pension, severance, or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (“GBOPHB”), during the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, by each active, retired, terminated, or disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson; and 2. That the pension, severance, or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance designation applies shall be any pension, severance, or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB and from a commercial annuity company contracted by the GBOPHB to provide an annuity arising from benefits accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefit under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson’s pension, severance, or disability plan benefit as part of his or her gross compensation. NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson's gross income in any year for federal (and, in most cases, state) income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2), and regulations thereunder, to the lesser of: 1) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson's employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolutions) for such year; 2) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or, 3) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Each Clergyperson or former Clergyperson is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor to determine what deferred compensation is eligible to be claimed as a housing allowance exclusion. Bishop Webb called for questions. Dee Lowman typed in her question about the future of any pensions. Rev. Baron explained that if the Compass plan passes as written there will be no defined benefit (pension) – but there would still be a defined contribution retirement plan. We will not have the details until we get closer to the General Conference. This resolution was carried with a vote of 490/28. Pre-82 Past Service Rate (PSR) (found on page 19 on the 2022 Conference Journal I) The UNYAC BoPHB has worked very diligently to ensure that our Pre-82 remains in a fully funded status. We are pleased to recommend an increase in the Past Service Rate (PSR), again. It is the Board's recommendation

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

that the PSR in the Pre-1982 Plan be increased by 1% for 2023 from $651 to $658. Only retirees with years of service prior to 1982, whose Pre-82 monthly benefit amount is less than $658, are impacted by the change. The History of Our Past Service Rate (PSR): • 2015: $600 • 2016: $612 (2% increase from 2015) • 2017: $625 (2% increase from 2016) • 2018: $638 (2% increase from 2017) • 2019: $645 (1% increase from 2018) • 2020: $645 (0% increase from 2019) • 2021: $645 (0% increase from 2020) • 2022: $651 (1% increase from 2021) - Proposed 2023: $658 (1% increase from 2022) Rev. Betsye Mowry – spoke against this resolution. The increases over the years are not in line with equitable compensation salary recommendations. Rev. Baron will make sure this is part of future conversations of the board. This resolution was carried with a vote of 434/106. Bishop Webb expressed gratitude for the work of the board and all their support personnel. The entire report was received with a vote of 521/9. A question was raised in the que asking why can’t we just raise hands and be recognized? Bishop Webb explained this is the process used with a large number of people. Bishop Webb turned the discussion back to the Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy and explained that the process may be skewed from what was agreed on because technology troubles interfered with names being lifted before Rev. Baron’s report. Ms. Vianese and Bishop Webb shared their thoughts on the issue at hand. Bishop Webb called for a vote about what to do with the four additional names that came in after the discussion was closed. The vote asked the yes/no, “Do you want to add these four nominees that came in after the discussion on this topic, thus closing the nominations process?” This question was carried with a vote of 396/162. Ms. Vianese shared the additional names lifted: the Rev. Aaron Bouwens, Rev. Paul Amara (a DS serving Susquehanna currently who was part of the Wyoming Conference), Rev. Nola Anderson (who already declined the nomination with grace and love), and Rev. Suzanne Block. Commission on Equitable Compensation The Rev. Rich Weihing gave the report on Equitable Compensation, which can be found on pages 15-17 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. The commission is responsible for annually recommending the minimum compensation levels for clergy and make recommendations for clergy support. The board encouraged churches to offer performance raises and no less than a 2.5 percent cost-of-living increase in clergy salary. “As of September 20, inflation is at 9 percent, and our minimum base salary for full time pastors has not been increased in our Conference since 2017,” Rev. Weihing explained. “Our minimum base salary for pastors is the fourth lowest in the United States.” No changes were recommended to the clergy housing policy and accountable reimbursement plans. The commission recommended The Upper New York Annual Conference adopt the following resolutions relating to clergy compensation found on pages 15-17 of the 2022 Conference Journal I and abbreviated here.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Minimum Base Compensation We recommend that the standardized minimum base compensation that was established for the Upper New York Annual Conference effective January 1, 2017, shall be increased by 2.5%. Those minimum base salaries are set according to credential level, for all full-time clergy persons as noted below: Base Full connection (elders & deacons):

$40,984

Provisional (elders & deacons):

$39,520

Associate:

$38,788

FT Local Pastor completed Course of Study or MDiv:

$38,056

FT Local Pastor:

$36,593

(Less than full time appointments shall receive a base salary pro-rated according to the appointment.) Bishop Webb recognized the Rev. Alan Kinney who spoke against this recommendation by suggesting it is inappropriate to propose a 2% increase when pre-82 pension increase is only 1%. Bishop Webb recognized Rev. Richard Barton, who asked if the commission compared minimum salary to the living wage. Rev. Weihing explained that the team leadership has only been in place since April and conversations have not yet turned to that work. This resolution passed with a vote of 478/58. We recommend that the yearly increment amount that was established for the Upper New York Annual Conference effective January 2020, which was equal to 1% of the minimum base compensation, stay the same. These increments are based on full-time employment for service up to 25 years. Rev. Weihing noted that these are unchanged from last year. Increment Full connection (elders & deacons):

$410

Provisional (elders & deacons):

$395

Associate:

$388

FT Local Pastor completed Course of Study or MDiv:

$381

FT Local Pastor:

$366

This recommendation was adopted with a vote of 508/22. We recommend that an additional $500 for each additional church on the pastoral charge (over one), not adjusted for part-time appointments remain in place. (Unchanged) This recommendation was adopted with a vote of 496/20. We recommend that no pastor’s salary can be decreased as a result of this policy, as long as they retain their current appointment. (Unchanged)

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

While waiting for results of the vote, Bishop Webb answered informational questions that had been waiting in the que regarding: 1) reopening the episcopacy nominations, 2) waiting time activities, and 3) why the number of clergy participating in Annual Conference is lower this year. This recommendation was adopted with a vote of 510/ 10. All churches are encouraged to offer a salary increase of no less than 2.5%. We encourage you to consider that inflation is 9% at the time of this report. Churches are encouraged to consider further raises based on exceptional service. While waiting for the results of the vote, Bishop Webb recognized the Rev. Beckie Sweet, who asked for the commission to consider how the Accountable Reimbursement Plan and parsonage standards will be affected by New York State’s movement toward mandating electric vehicles. • • •

This recommendation was adopted with a vote of 507/ 21 There are no changes to the Clergy Housing Policy for 2022. There are no changes to the Accountable Reimbursement Plan policy for 2022.

The Commission currently has other matters under consideration and will report them as appropriate at the 2023 Upper New York Annual Conference. The Rev. Weihing ended the report by thanking the members of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. The entire report was received with a vote of 464/ 5. The Commission on Religion and Race report was given by the Rev. Scott Johnson and others from the commission and found on pages 71-73 in the 2022 Conference Journal I. Bishop Webb thanked the commission for all their work and emphasized one of Rev. Johnson’s points, “this is Our work to do!” Bishop Webb introduced Tom Schmidt, chair of the Petitions and Resolutions Committee. Mr. Schmidt began by thanking those who submitted petitions and resolutions and those who reviewed submissions. After offering a general guideline for discussion and a prayer over our work ahead, each submission was considered. UNYAC2022.1 – Encouragement of Voting by All Citizens abbreviated here and found on page 37 of the 2022 Conference Journal I: Book of Discipline: ¶164 Book of Resolutions paragraph: Resolution #5012 Brief Rationale: Voting can be considered a right and a responsibility of all qualified citizens.

The activity is one of the foundation stones of our American democracy. Therefore, we urge churches in our global community to encourage their members to take advantage of the opportunities to vote; and Therefore, be it further resolved, those qualified voters be encouraged to inform themselves concerning the qualifications of persons running for office and the merit(s) of items requiring decision(s) that are to appear on the election day ballot and, after thoughtful and prayerful consideration, to vote their choices on their election days.

Submitted by: Tracey M. Haines - UNY local church/charge membership: First United Methodist Church of East Greenbush NY, East Greenbush, NY George Herrick presented this petition, which was approved without comment and with a vote of 423/47. UNYAC2022.2 – Candidacy Interviews abbreviated here and found as submitted on page 39 of the 2022 Conference Journal I: Book of Discipline (¶¶): 310.2a; 314.2 Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementations if passed: District Committees on Ordained Ministry; Board of Ordained Ministry Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference implores each District Committee on Ordained Ministry to commit to meet with all potential candidates for ministry who are duly voted upon, and recommended by, their local church’s Charge Conference. Therefore, be it further resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference implores the Board of Ordained Ministry to ensure that the District Committees on Ordained Ministry adhere to these recommendations as voted upon and recommended by the Upper New York Annual Conference. Submitted by: Mike Mullin - UNY local church membership: Asbury First United Methodist Church, Rochester Bishop Webb explained that Mr. Mullen is not a member of the Annual Conference, so a vote was called to allow him to speak to the body and present this petition. The body agreed to hear from Mr. Mullen with a vote of 387/112. Mr. Mullen introduced the petition. The Rev. Hoyt Brown lifted an amendment that was seconded and was given the opportunity to speak to the amendment. Beginning on line 26 of page 39 of the 2022 Conference Journal I: “Except for when a candidate has been discontinued by the District Committee on Ministry. In such instances, after two years the candidate, after approval of the local church Staff Parish Relations Committee, may submit a letter to the District Committee on Ministry requesting they be allowed to restart the candidacy process. The letter should provide in detail what they have done to address the issue(s) that led to their discontinuance.” The Rev. Doug Mackey spoke against the amendment because people who have been discontinued may not understand why they were and or why people need to wait 2 years. The original petition is seeking to clarify the Book of Discipline and the amendment will add more to what is in the Book of Discipline. The Rev. Matt Stengel spoke in favor of the amendment explaining that there are many times when candidates are repeatedly recommended by their local church but are not approved by their District Committee on Ministry. The District Committees on Ministry are not making decisions whimsically as the maker stated, but rather with prayerful discernment. If someone is repeatedly recommended, the amendment makes sense. Bishop Webb recognized Donald Day to speak against the amendment, but Mr. Day could not be heard due to technical difficulties.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Mr. Ian Urriolla spoke against the amendment because he understands discernment as a process that needs to keep moving. If a local church continues to recommend a candidate to the District Committee on Ministry, it is the responsibility of the District Committee on Ministry to stay in conversation with the candidate as part of the discernment process. The Rev. Melanie Simmons asked if the District Committee on Ministry is required to explain in writing why a candidate is not being recommended or moving forward. Bishop Webb affirmed that such is a normal part of the process. The Rev. Hoyt Brown, maker of the amendment, explained that his experience is that District Committees on Ministry do not operate on whims. A process that includes interviews, meetings, and written submissions is utilized. They do not operate on whims and do communicate with candidates. District Committees on Ministry take their responsibility to doctrinal standards seriously. Mr. Mullen, the author of the original petition, apologized for using the word “whims” and spoke against the amendment as it does not fit with the heart of the petition. A waiting period is outside the scope of the petition. This amendment passed with a vote of 326/168. The Rev. Rachel Stuart had a second to a proposed amendment to the petition as amended that this text shall be inserted to the prior amendment as follows in bold print: Beginning at line 26 of page 39 of the 2022 Conference Journal I: “Except for when a candidate has been discontinued by the District Committee on Ministry. If a candidate is discontinued from the process, they must be informed in writing by the District Committee on Ministry or the Board of Ordained Ministry of the reasoning for their discontinuance. The reasons given shall be concrete, specific, reasonable, and actionable, and shall not be in any way vague. The candidate shall then only be required to speak to the reasons given in their discontinuance when they request to be remitted. In such instances after two years, the candidate, after approval of the local church Staff Parish Relations Committee, may submit a letter to the District Committee on Ministry requesting they be allowed to restart the candidacy process. The letter should provide in detail what they have done to address the issue(s) that led to their discontinuance.” Rev. Stuart explained her rationale and no discussion followed. This amendment passed with a vote of 359/133. Bishop Webb recognized the Rev. Pam Klotzbach who was planning to speak against the petition but was having technical difficulties. Bishop Webb suggested she utilize the intercom into the main room to share her thoughts if she has further instances of this trouble. The Rev. Jeff McDowell raised a point of order regarding the amendment that had just passed. The last line is out of order because, according to the Book of Discipline, an annual conference cannot bind or limit the Board of Ordained Ministry or the District Committee on Ministry. Bishop Webb agreed that the last line limits what the District Committee on Ministry can do. Rev. McDowell proposed an amendment that deletes the last line, which was seconded. This amendment will delete: “The candidate shall then only be required to speak to the reasons given in their discontinuance when they request to be remitted.,” so that beginning at line 26 of page 39 of the 2022 Conference Journal I would read:

“Except for when a candidate has been discontinued by the District Committee on Ministry. If a candidate is discontinued from the process, they must be informed in writing by the District Committee on Ministry or the Board of Ordained Ministry of the reasoning for their discontinuance. The reasons given shall be concrete, specific, reasonable, and actionable, and shall not be in any way vague. In such instances after two years, the candidate, after approval of the local church Staff Parish Relations Committee, may submit a letter to the District Committee on Ministry requesting they be allowed to restart the candidacy process. The letter should provide in detail what they have done to address the issue(s) that led to their discontinuance.” This amendment passed with a vote of 434/45. Bishop Webb turned the discussion to UNYAC2022.2 - Candidacy Interviews as amended three times. Mr. Mullen spoke to the petition as amended. The original intent was hoped to simplify the process for candidates. He sees the amendments making it harder for candidates. Mr. Mullen also shared his personal experience. This petition, as amended, was approved with a vote of 252/221. The Conference session was dismissed for dinner at 5:42 p.m. following a prayer over our meals led by the Rev. Weeden. The 13th Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference was in recess until 7:10 p.m.

The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church Thursday Oct. 6, 2022 (Virtual) Evening Session Bishop Webb called the evening Plenary session to order at 7:10 p.m. UNYUMC-2022.6 – Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy Bishop Webb asked Ms. Vianese to walk us through the process and worked with her to determine the procedures for this evening. Ms. Vianese reviewed the process by identifying those steps we have already completed and intelligibly read through the rest of the process as noted above. Bishop Webb clarified that the first ballot cannot result in an endorsed candidate, regardless of what percentage of the votes an individual receives. Those who accepted the nomination are: • • • • • • • •

Giovanni Arroyo Michelle Bogue-Trost Aaron Bouwens Stephen Cady Wendy Deichmann Richelle Goff Sherri Rood Heather Williams

Bishop Webb explained, this process is not about electing or identifying the next bishop to the Upper New York Annual Conference. That is the responsibility of the Jurisdiction. This is about the Upper New York Annual Conference endorsing a candidate for election and if elected, will be appointed by the Jurisdictional Episcopal committee. Ms. Vianese prayed over the voting process. Bishop Webb instructed that the first ballot has all eight names; members should vote for at least one and no more than six people. We will have two minutes and he will attend to other business while waiting for the final vote. The first and second votes had technical difficulties. David Wood from GNTV explained what he thought the problem was and gave instructions on how to avoid such troubles again. Bishop Webb offered an opportunity to practice what Mr. Wood had just explained. The third attempt at the first vote of the process resulted in these six candidates, in order of number of votes received: • • • • • •

Wendy Deichmann Sherri Rood Stephen Cady Michelle Bogue-Trost Aaron Bouwens Heather Williams

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The Commission on Native American Ministries (CONAM) video report was shared. Their written report can be found on page 62 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. Following the video, Bishop Webb gave his thanks to those who serve on this very important team. Bishop invited each of the six candidates who received the most votes in the first ballot of the Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy process to share about themselves for no more than three minutes. The Rev. Wendy Deichmann, Rev. Sherri Rood, Rev. Stephen Cady, Rev. Michelle Bogue-Trost, then Rev. Aaron Bouwens addressed the Annual Conference. Ms. Vianese explained that Rev. Heather Williams is tending to a family emergency and read the comments that Rev. Williams had submitted. Bishop Webb explained that we must vote for at least one and can vote for up to three. If one person receives 60% of the vote, that person will be nominated. If no one person receives 60%, we will take the top three for the next vote. The Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding offered a prayer. There was a technical problem with the tally, so this second vote was taken again from among six candidates. David Wood from GNTV was recognized by Bishop Webb. Mr. Wood explained the need to re-set the voting system between each ballot. After the system was reset, this second vote was taken a third time. While the ballot was being tabulated, the United Women in Faith video was shared. Their written report is found on page 84 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. Bishop Webb expressed gratitude for the women who have guided and led this Church in so many ways. The second vote in the Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy process yielded three candidates: Rev. Wendy Deichmann, Rev. Stephen Cady, and Rev. Sherri Rood. While the voting system was being reset, the United Methodist Men video was shared. Their written report is found on page 34 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. Bishop Webb gave his thanks for this important ministry. Bishop Webb explained the next ballot in in the Endorsement of Candidates for Episcopacy process is to vote for only one candidate. If one person receives 60% or more of the vote, that person will be nominated. If no one person receives at least 60%, we will take one additional vote from among the top two. Rev. Debbie Earthrowl offered a prayer. The results of the third ballot yielded two candidates, Wendy Deichmann, and Stephen Cady. Bishop Webb explained, we must vote for one candidate. If one person receives 60% of the vote, that person will be nominated. If no one person receives 60%, we will take only one additional vote. Rev. Ted Anderson offered a prayer. While the ballot was being tabulated, the Board of Global Ministries video was shared. Bishop Webb expressed gratitude for the ministries of this agency within our denomination. The Rev. Wendy Deichmann is endorsed as an episcopal candidate from UNYAC as a result of the fourth ballot in the process. Rev. Deichmann shared thoughts and reactions. Bishop Webb thanked all who participated in the process. Ms. Vianese prayed for Rev. Deichmann and all that is before her. Bishop Webb adjourned the evening session at 8:47 p.m. with a call to reconvene at 8:45 a.m. Ms. White closed in prayer.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist church Friday Oct. 7, 2022 (Virtual) Morning Session The Rev. Dr. Kimberly D. Reisman, Executive Director of World Methodist Evangelism began our Teaching Time/Bible Study at 8:45 a.m. She taught from her latest book, Embrace: Showing and Sharing the Love of Jesus. Rev. Dr. Reisman summarized her six-week small-group Bible Study that considers “a gospel for the wanderer.” She intrigued us with such questions as; What does the gospel look like for someone who does not believe they need the good news? Will we travel well as we journey with those who wander? What will we look like as we share the good news? Rev. Dr. Reisman explained that she sees “Embrace” as a metaphor for evangelism, based on God’s way of reaching out to us, “opening your arms and waiting, sometimes for a very long time, then closing your arms around the person and then we open our arms again.” She described the metaphor as a process that serves to reflect God’s grace and love toward others. After each description of the three stages in the process (Opening Our Arms, Waiting, Closing Our Arms) she posed questions to ponder. Rev. Dr. Reisman explained the 6 essential values of the “Embrace” metaphor that make up each individual week of the study: humility, clarity, prayer, integrity, worship, and urgency. Bishop Webb called the morning Plenary session to order at 9:45 a.m. He introduced Rev. Dr. Reisman and offered instruction for those following through the live stream on how to participate. Rev. Carolyn Stow offered an opening prayer. Charles Syms brought a Monitoring Report and reminded us of the need for monitoring to make sure all voices are heard. He repeated the instruction to introduce ourselves with name, race, gender, clergy/laity, and church affiliation and explained that those who do not introduce themselves in this way are not included in the statistics, to avoid misrepresentation by guessing. The Board of Trustees Report The Rev. Pamela Klotzbach, Trustees President gave the report, which can be found on page 81 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. She began with a word of thanks for all those who are members of the Board of Trustees and those who support their work in various ways. Rev. Klotzbach included a list of those projects the Trustees “have been involved with: property upkeep, and inspections, sales of church properties, investments, insurance coverage, the Child Victims Act (CVA), our Boy Scout relationship, and working within the Discipline – disaffiliations. Our individual trustees have taken on a heavy load for all of you.” She invited people to visit our camps and retreat ministry sites and explained, a rough go of weather impacted Casowasco “in a big way in 2021, but your generosity provided the resources needed to bring the camp back to life.” The Trustees are responsible for the Conference Office and District parsonages as well as the bishop’s residence. Kathy King-Griswold reported on the finances of the Trustees; The Rev. Jack Keating reported on the status of the Conference properties and insurance program. The Rev. Mike Weeden presented the resolutions for closing churches which can be found on pages 21-35 of the 2022 Conference Journal I, except the Bombay UMC and the Moria: Park UMC resolutions, which can be found on the Conference website in the journal updates section. Rev. Weeden explained that the vote will have one common ballot with each name listed for an individual vote. The ballot slide will show the name of

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

each church and the ballot will call for a yes or no vote on each church. The voting process followed his reading the name of each church proposed for closure and a prayer: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Bombay UMC Buffalo: South Park UMC Cayuga UMC Celoron UMC Cohocton UMC Fernwood UMC Greig UMC Hinsdale UMC Machias UMC Manchester: Church of the Living Stones UMC Moira: Park UMC North Sanford UMC Ouaquaga UMC Steamburg UMC Syracuse: Hope Korean UMC

While waiting for the ballot to be prepared, the Rev. Dick Barton raised a question about availability of copies of the Trustee’s financial reports. Rev. Klotzbach will ensure they are included in post-Conference materials (Vol. II 2022 Journal, pgs. 117-118). Difficulty with ballot set-up allowed for time to hear the Child Victim’s Act report from the CVA Committee through a video introduced by the Rev. Sara Baron. “Our CVA committee is comprised of representatives of CF&A, Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, Conference Board of Trustees, and the cabinet. I’ve asked the chairs of these respective teams to share a report to update the conference on where things stand with our CVA litigation.” Following the video Rev. Klotzbach shared the status of our relations with Boy Scouts of America, explaining, “I’m pleased to share that our United Methodist Church representatives have developed a new ‘affiliation agreement’ and ‘facilities use agreements’ with the BSA setting the terms of the relationship between local troops and sponsoring congregations.” Bishop Webb shared that we grieve the harm and pain that was perpetrated on the victims of childhood sexual abuse and gave kudos to the leadership that has been sensitive to the realities of the horrific acts of the past while maintaining balance with careful stewardship of our resources. He called for a time of silent prayer for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and those of us responding to their call for healing. Following a time of silent prayer, Bishop Webb led us through the vote on proposed church closures. Each of the 15 churches was voted on individually. While waiting for the results, Robert Ballad raised a question wondering what happened to bequests that had been made to the Troy Annual Conference and then invested at the time of the merger with the understanding that dividends would go to local churches. Finance Dir. Bob Flask was not familiar with those funds and asked if Mr. Ballard knew the names of the funds. Mr. Ballad did not have those names and suggested this as something to investigate to bring forth an answer in the future. Bishop Webb assured that this conversation will continue after conference adjourns.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

While we continued waiting for the results Rev. Klotzbach introduced the process for churches who are choosing to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. In her explanation, she said, “If adopted by the Church Conference, the request to disaffiliate must then be approved by the Annual Conference, in this case by a simple majority. Prior to the Annual Conference vote, the exiting congregation must form a new corporate entity and make all required payments to the Conference. The disaffiliation becomes final once New York State courts approve the decision and the property is formally transferred.” Churches choosing to disaffiliate also have financial obligations to the UNYAC. “The current policy requires a disaffiliating church to pay any unpaid apportionments for the 12 months immediately prior to the disaffiliation date and an additional 12 months of apportionments, an equal amount to the church's pro-rata share of the Annual Conferences unfunded pension obligations, any unpaid direct bill on paid property, liability insurance, health insurance, CPP or pensions, and any costs resulting from the transfer of property, including but not limited to all closing costs.” Rodney Stringham raised several questions, each answered by Finance Dir. Bob Flask as it was raised. •

How many churches are there in the Upper New York Conference? Approximately 784 churches are currently chartered.

•

How many of those churches have entered a period of discernment regarding disaffiliation? 42 churches are in the discernment process toward disaffiliation.

•

How many of the churches have approached their District Superintendent and/or scheduled a special church conference for a vote? This is an unknown at this point in time.

•

How many of the churches have already held their special Charge Conference? Those churches are not among those we will consider this morning, several have entered into the process but where each is in the disaffiliation process is unknown.

•

Will this be evaluated at the district levels? The financial impact is being tracked and evaluated as we proceed.

•

How and when will that be shared with the Conference? After churches have had time for discernment and disaffiliation we will have a better understanding of the impact, which will be shared.

Bishop Webb shared the results of the vote to approve closure of 15 churches. Rev. Weeden led a time of prayer for the churches and the people connected with these churches. Bishop Webb turned discussion back to church disaffiliations and the Rev. Rachel Stuart raised a question regarding ¶2553.4.e of the Book of Discipline that states disaffiliating church shall satisfy all liabilities. Are the lawsuits pending with Boy Scouts of America and the Child Victims Act (CVA) shared liabilities that we have not fully realized? Rev. Klotzbach explained that no local church will be assessed for this liability, regardless of disaffiliation status. Rev. Klotzbach lifted the names of eight congregations that have fulfilled all necessary requirements to request disaffiliation from the Upper New York Conference and the United Methodist Church under ¶2553 of the Book of Discipline. She further explained, “A resolution for each congregation was published on the 2022 Annual Conference addendum page. As stipulated in these resolutions, the final step in the approval process

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

is for the Annual Conference to ratify and consent to each request to disaffiliate. Today, we will vote on each request individually using a single ballot. A “yes” vote signifies ratification and consent of a congregation’s request to disaffiliate.” After offering a prayer over the vote, Rev. Klotzbach submitted the requests for disaffiliation to the Annual Conference for ratification and consent. Bishop Webb explained that disaffiliation resolutions cannot be amended according to Judicial Council Decision 1420, so this is a yes or no vote. Sharon Vollmer asked what a “no” vote means. Bishop explained that a “no” means the church must stay in the United Methodist denomination and monies already paid to the Annual Conference will be returned. She also asked why churches are seeking to disaffiliate now, before General Conference and the Annual Conference has acted. Bishop Webb explained that ¶2553 at the 2019 Special Session of General Conference was put into place so local churches could make these decisions before General Conference can take place. The Rev. Sara Baron spoke against these resolutions by reminding the body of a point she made while giving the Board of Pensions report: we are responsible to make sure that all retirees have enough to meet their needs. She asked how we can be sure that they will be cared for in light of disaffiliations and declared that disaffiliation means we are risking our retiree’s wellbeing. The Rev. Beckie Sweet asked if clergy and laity who disaffiliate will still have voting rights at this session of Annual Conference. Bishop Webb explained that a pastor’s membership remains with the Annual Conference until he or she withdraws. Conference Chancellor, Peter Abdella, added that disaffiliation for each church is not effective until the New York State courts approve the disaffiliation. So, even with approval from the Annual Conference, disaffiliation is not effective until court approval. Voting rights will remain in place until disaffiliation is complete. Rev. Sweet raised additional questions about lay members continued service on committees and boards of the Upper New York Annual Conference? Mr. Abdella explained that once disaffiliation of their local church is effective, they will no longer be serving. Bishop Webb opened and explained that the ballot calls for a yes or no vote for each church listed. While waiting for the votes to be tallied, we watch a video about the ministry at the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary. Bishop Webb shared the results of the vote: • Alexander UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 464/111. • Ava: Hilltop UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 461/112. • Cherry Creek UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 464/111. • County Line UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 460/112. • Great Valley UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 464/110. • Hannibal UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 461/113. • South Corinth UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 463/112 • Wesley UMC’s disaffiliation was approved with a vote of 463/111. Bishop Webb expressed his appreciation for all those who serve as trustees and for Mr. Abdella and all the work he does in addition to advising trustees that has been valuable in helping guide us. The vote to receive the entire Trustees Report passed with a vote of 492/21.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Bishop Webb offered a pastoral word. Churches are discerning God’s leading as to whether to remain in the United Methodist denomination or not. We are called to acknowledge the grief this brings and if we don’t, what we do after will not be healthy. This process has been filled with grace and the reality is that we may not all be United Methodist in the future, but we will all continue to be sisters and brothers in Christ – neighbors in communities – and partners in advancing the Gospel. Paul instructs us that no one part of the body is more important than the other. Bishop Webb implored us to value one another as discernment continues and to continue to support, encourage, and see value in each other. Bishop Webb invited Tom Schmidt back to the podium, who led us in a discussion around the remaining petitions to be considered. UNYAC2022.3 - Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act abbreviated here and found on pages 40-43 of the 2022 Conference Journal I: Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Secretary Rationale: American Christians, complicit through our tax support of Israel’s violations of the human rights of Palestinian children, can now support legislation to help end these violations. Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference goes on record as supporting H.R. 2590 — 117th Congress (2021-2022); Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act. This bill prohibits the use of any funds that are made available for assistance to Israel in support of (1) military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill treatment of Palestinian children; (2) seizure, appropriation, or destruction of Palestinian property and forcible transfer of civilians in the West Bank; or (3) unilateral annexation by Israel of West Bank territory. The Department of State must report on the nature and extent of such activities carried out by Israel. Be it further resolved that all Annual Conference members are encouraged to contact their Congress members to request their support of HR 2590. Be it further resolved that the Conference Secretary write to the President of the United States to encourage him to support and sign this legislation. Submitted by: The Upper New York Task Force on Peace With Justice in Palestine/Israel: Linda Bergh, Co-Chair, Bellevue Heights UMC and Karen Peterson, Co-Chair, Horseheads UMC and Endorsed by the Upper New York Social Holiness Team. The Rev. Merle Showers presented this petition. Linda Bergh spoke in support of this petition, expressing concerns over human rights all around the world. She urged us to be concerned about the human rights of Palestinian children and families and shared some of the situations caused by Israeli policies. Being a friend of Israel means holding Israel accountable when something needs to change. Bishop Webb explained he was working to maintain the balance between speeches in support of and against each petition. If we already have speeches for and none against, we will go to the vote to help manage our time. Because no one came forward to speak against this petition, Bishop Webb turned back to Rev. Showers who shared final thoughts and expressed his heartache over the suffering and injustice.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

While waiting for results, Rev. Brett Johnson raised a point of order that our rules allow for three speeches for and three speeches against regardless of balance, so we returned to that practice. This petition was approved with a vote of 414/82. UNYAC2022.4 - A Call to Sisters and Brothers leaving the United Methodist Church abbreviated here and found on the conference website as an addendum to the 2022 Conference Journal I: Therefore, let us be of one resolve to call upon all clergy and laity who have been elected to be members of the General Conference and the Jurisdictional Conference and plan to leave the United Methodist Church to become members of the GMC or other denominations to resign their positions. This is to allow those elected as alternates and plan to be members of the United Methodist Church in the years following 2022 to be part of the decision-making process. This is in no way meant to be disrespectful of the hearts and souls of those who now feel they no longer can or will support or serve the United Methodist Church. The decisions that the General and Jurisdictional Conference will be making are for denomination they no longer wish to affiliate with - Submitted by: Social Holiness Committee of the Upper New York Annual Conference The Rev. Alan Kinney presented this petition, suggesting this is a call for delegation members to act with integrity because the delegation is a future-making group. Mr. Dan Fuller spoke against this petition describing what he sees as a large number of faithful United Methodists in Upper New York, who are traditional and don’t want to leave the United Methodist Church but are considering disaffiliation, nonetheless. Mr. Fuller shared his perspective on how “traditionalists” are being treated and pointed a finger at progressive churches. In his opinion, this petition feels like a pressure campaign to disaffiliate sooner. (Mr. Fuller was still speaking when his time was concluded.) The Rev. Melanie Simmons spoke in support of this petition sharing the perspective that those who have chosen to disaffiliate have broken the covenant and should not have a say in what happens to those of us who will remain. The Rev. Doug Mackey spoke in support of this petition by pushing back on some of what Mr. Fuller shared that was just not true. “Traditionalists are welcome to stay, and we hope they stay. They deserve a voice and vote. This petition is asking those who have already decided to leave to step down. This petition is not about those who will stay.” The Rev. Kinney explained the intention of this petition was not to push any one group aside. The Social Holiness Team is made up of people from both perspectives because the diversity of the United Methodist Church is its strength. This petition simply asks if you know you are leaving, allow others to be part of the future that you know you will not be a part of. This petition was approved with a vote of 369/156.

UNYAC2022.5 Creation of a Buffalo 10 Scholarship abbreviated here and found on the conference website as an addendum to the 2022 Conference Journal I: Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Finance Staff Financial Implications: This petition seeks no funds from the conference budget. Brief Rationale: On May 14, 2022, a mass murderer motivated by racial hatred killed ten African Americans and injured three other individuals. A group of clergy and laity from the Niagara Frontier District have gathered to discern ways to address the systemic racism that continues to impact residents of the East Side of Buffalo and elsewhere in our region. This petition represents one of several steps in a larger plan. Therefore, be it resolved the Upper New York Annual Conference establish a scholarship in the name of the Buffalo 10 for students from the 14208 zip code attending college. Be it further resolved that the scholarship funds be housed and distributed by the Upper New York Annual Conference and that the criteria for eligibility and annual selection be determined by a committee of at least three of the undersigned people and the UNY Director of Connectional Ministries. Be it further resolved that after the committee develops the criteria for eligibility and process for distribution, the committee will share these with members of the Upper New York Annual Conference through conference communication channels. In addition, the committee will report on the process and/or winners at the 2023 session of the Upper New York annual conference. Submitted by: Rev. Scott L. Johnson of UNY local church: Pendleton Center and Buffalo: First, Rev. Angela Stewart of UNY local church: Buffalo: Metropolitan, Rev. George Nicholas of UNY local church: Buffalo: Lincoln Memorial, Rev. Raquel Alston of UNY local church: North Tonawanda: First UMC, Rev. Tanya Spencer of UNY local church: Orchard Park, and Charles Syms of UNY local church: Amherst: Asbury. Rev. Johnson presented this petition and with no input from the floor, declined final comment. This petition passed with a vote of 466/32. Bishop Webb implored us to let people know that this fund exists and encourage support. He further explained that the QR code on the screen was available for giving in the moment and a link will be on the website to receive future donations. Bishop Webb also extended gratitude to Rev. Johnson and the team that worked with him. (Note: As of 11/30/22 $16,814.74 has been collected for this valuable ministry. $12,333.20 of the total to date was donated in honor of Bishop Webb.) Tom Schmidt concluded “The Petitions and Resolutions Committee for 2022 wishes to thank the Annual Conference, the writers, the Conference staff, and the committee.” Bishop Webb added his thanks to the committee before calling for a lunch break at 12:09 p.m. with a call to return at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Sherri Rood prayed for our time apart.

The Upper New York Conference of the United Methodist Church Friday, Oct. 7, 2022 (Virtual) Afternoon Session Bishop Webb welcomed us back and called the afternoon Plenary session to order at 1:30 p.m. He invited Mr. Ian Urriolla to present the 2022 Nominations Report which is found on the Upper New York Annual Conference website. Mr. Urriolla began his report by singing from the hymn “I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me,” and offering words of encouragement. Mr. Urriolla then explained that all editorial changes must be submitted prior to adjournment of the current Annual Conference. He went on to introduce the process before us, “First, I’ll give you a head’s up about how this report works, process wise and where to find the report, etc. Then, we’ll walk through the names of the people our team has nominated to be elected by you to serve on the Annual Conference boards, committees, agencies, and teams. Then, we’ll do the same thing for District boards, committees, agencies, and teams. Lastly, we’ll go through four recommendations that our team has for changes to our Annual Conference’s organizational rules to promote equity and justice and clarify questions to streamline our work in years to come.” The process moved forward as expected. Mr. Urriolla moved those individuals named in the full report of the Nominations and Leadership Development Team be elected to membership on the committees, boards, agencies, and teams of the Upper New York Annual Conference as also identified in the report. Bishop Webb called for comments. When none were lifted, he explained the process as a yes/no vote for everyone nominated to positions within the Annual Conference. Those nominated were elected by a vote of 428/8. Mr. Urriolla then reviewed and moved those individuals named in the full report of the Nominations and Leadership Development Team be elected to membership on the committees, boards, agencies, and teams of the Districts of Upper New York Annual Conference as also identified in the report. Bishop Webb called for comments and questions. Ruth Persons raised a question about Rev. Sherri Rood being listed on three committees for one district, because she thought people were supposed to be limited to only one committee. Mr. Urriolla explained that as District Superintendent, Rev. Rood should be on all and any of the teams of that district. With no other comments or questions, Bishop Webb opened the ballot for this yes/no vote for everyone nominated to positions within each of the Districts of the Annual Conference. Those nominated were elected by a vote of 453/12. Mr. Urriolla next introduced a discussion of recommended Amendments to the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference. The four recommendations can be found with rationale and in the full context of their existing paragraphs on the Annual Conference website at http://www.unyumc.org/events/updates-to-2022-journal. The first recommendation to Amend the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference, is found starting on page 157 of the 2021 Upper New York Annual Conference Journal II, by adding a new paragraph on page 157, starting at line 44 as underlined below the rationale. Rationale: This recommendation codifies existing norms in the way Nominations and Leadership Development does its work, stating that it’s our preference for individuals to only serve on one agency, board, or team at a

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

time so that our conference leaders are not burnt out or stretched too thin. However, we also recognize that this may limit individuals from serving on boards, agencies, and/or teams related to aspects of their racial, age, gender, and/or disability status identities. This recommendation frees those individuals to serve on a team that speaks to their lived realities as well as serving on a team for which they may possess gifts. Limits on Membership to Conference Agencies Unless otherwise stated, it shall be the preference of the Upper New York Conference for individuals to only be elected to serve on one Conference Agency or Board. This preference shall not preclude individuals from minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities from serving on Conference Agencies or Boards whose primary mission is serving and/or advocating for their minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities, including, but not limited to, the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Ministry Action Team for Higher Education, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries. Likewise, this preference shall not preclude individuals from ex-officio membership on Conference Agencies and Boards by virtue of their position or status. Bishop Webb called for comments and questions. Neil Cleveland raised a question about why the ex-officio voice changes from amendment to amendment. Mr. Urriolla explained that the voting rights and privileges of those who serve in an ex-officio capacity varies between teams and are dictated by the Book of Discipline. The Nominations Team will take this under consideration in their coming discussions. Judy Craigmile wondered why we need this recommendation and asked if people are able to say no without repercussions. Mr. Urriolla explained that that this recommendation prefers people serve only on one team while giving allowance for those with gifts and talents to serve on multiple committees in certain circumstances pertaining to the identified demographic. The Rev. Anne Canfield pointed out that children are the most vulnerable of all God’s people and cautioned about the need to carefully consider those who serve on teams that ponder their safety & protection. She also asked why children couldn’t be added to that list. Mr. Urriolla explained that our polity limits membership on Conference teams to professing members of our church and children are not considered professing members until they can be confirmed in middle school, at which time they can serve on teams. He further pointed out that the recommendation includes the line “including, but not limited to.” Rev. Canfield clarified that she was really asking if someone could be a Safe Sanctuaries trainer and a member of the Board of Ordained Ministry simultaneously. Mr. Urriolla explained that both of those teams are populated at the will of the bishop, so our incoming bishop will identify who is on those teams. In an effort to help, Bishop Webb explained that we are seeking to change the rules of the Annual Conference rather than how the Nominations Team does its work and asked if Rev. Canfield had a suggested amendment. Rev. Canfield declined and clarified that she just wanted to point out that children are often left out of things and to advocate for specific language that meets the comprehensive list of children’s needs. Mr. Urriolla clarified that the purpose of this recommendation is a preference toward persons serving on only one team.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

This is not a hard and fast rule. Someone could certainly request permission to serve on more than one committee. The Rev. John Loeser moved to refer this recommendation to the rules committee. Rev. Jeff Childs seconded. Bishop Webb declared the motion in order. Rev. Loeser explained that he is with a group of people and with all that has been talked about thus far they are struggling to understand the purpose of this recommendation so is seeking clarification to be brought back to a future conference. As a debatable motion, Bishop Webb invited comment. The Rev. Marti Swords-Horrell spoke against this motion because to her, this seems to be very clear and over the years, it seems that the same people get asked and volunteer over and over again, which is not good for the body. This is not a “shall” but rather a “preference”. This recommendation provides an opportunity to look and see what other gifts and graces are out there. The Rev. Merle Showers spoke against the motion to refer because this seems clear to him. He shared that for many years in the past it was the rule of Annual Conference to encourage people to have only one office so they can devote time to that office so as not to spread themselves too thin to be effective. With no additional comments, Bishop Webb opened the ballot to refer the motion to the rules committee, which was not supported with a vote of 170/312. With no others making comment regarding this recommendation and Mr. Urriolla’s declination to add a concluding thought, Bishop Webb opened the ballot with the explanation of the need for a 2/3 affirmation in this yes/no vote. The recommendation to add the paragraph titled Limits on Membership to Conference Agencies passed with a vote of 345/141. Mr. Urriolla presented the second recommendation, to amend the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference, found starting on Page 157 of the 2021 Upper New York Annual Conference Journal II, by adding to the paragraph labeled “Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies” on page 157, starting at line 45, after the sentence that ends “shall be two consecutive full-length terms” as underlined in context below the rationale. Rationale: This recommendation allows individuals to continue serving on conference boards, agencies, and teams past any term limits, with voice but no vote, in emeritus capacity on the invitation of the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development in the interest of preserving institutional wisdom and memory. It is recommended to add to the paragraph labeled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies of the Conference Rules as: “For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in ‘membership classes’, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full-length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, fulllength terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive full-length terms.” Individuals who have served two consecutive

100

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

full-length terms may be invited by the Nominations and Leadership Development Team to continue service on the team in emeritus status, with voice and no vote. Individuals serving in this capacity may return to full service on the group following one year of emeritus service, if nominated by the Nominations and Leadership Development team. “Partial length terms of less than three years shall not be counted in this regard for elections occurring before 2012. Service ‘on a quadrennial basis’ indicates full-length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year.” Bishop Webb called for comments about this recommendation and hearing none, opened the ballot with an explanation of the need for a 2/3 affirmation in this yes/no vote. This recommendation to add to the paragraph titled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies passed with a vote of 374/124. Mr. Urriolla presented the third recommendation, to amend the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference, found starting on Page 157 of the 2021 Upper New York Annual Conference Journal II, by adding to the paragraph labeled “Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies” on page 157, starting at line 45, after the sentence that ends, “counted in this regard for elections occurring before 2012” as underlined in context below the rationale. Rationale: This recommendation codifies what occurs when a vacancy in a board, agency, or team is created. Additionally, it clarifies that a vacancy term counts as a full term if the vacancy term lasts as long as half the length or longer of the full term when considering term limits. Otherwise, the vacancy term will not be considered a full term of service. It is recommended to add to the paragraph labeled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies of the Conference Rules as: “For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in ‘membership classes’, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the ‘class.’ Persons will normally be elected to classes for full-length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full-length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive full-length terms. Partial length terms of less than three years shall not be counted in this regard for elections occurring before 2012. In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team. The appointee’s service on this group shall begin immediately following their confirmation. At the regular Annual Conference session immediately following their nomination to the Conference Agency or Board, the Annual Conference shall ratify this nomination or elect a new individual to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. If their vacancy service equates to less than half of the length of the full term of that team, their vacancy service shall not count as a full term, and they shall not be subject to existing term limits for that team. If their vacancy service equates to half the length of the full term for that team or

101

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

longer, their vacancy term shall count as a full term, subject to existing term limits for that team. Service ‘on a quadrennial basis’ indicates full-length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year.” The Rev. Doug Mackey asked about those committees that have been identifying their own membership, such as the Commission on Native American Ministries. Mr. Urriolla explained that the team is always eager to receive recommendations from that team, but rules say this responsibility falls to Nominations. The Rev. Melanie Simmons raised a question about the wording difference between the text that will not be changed and the text that will be added about lengths of term. Mr. Urriolla pointed out the original wording includes “prior to 2012” and no person seems to fall into this category. Blenda Smith, laity, raised concern about the Commission on Native American Ministries, that needs people of Native American descent to be able to function. She further expressed concern about teams having no autonomy to identify their own membership and suggested they should not have term limits. When asked by Bishop Webb if hers was a speech for or against the recommendation Ms. Smith responded by saying she had a question, “because if people have passion about a certain topic, they shouldn’t be limited to being on one committee.” Mr. Urriolla agreed that the Commission on Native American Ministries cannot function without voices of indigenous people, however, our existing rules are what they are. Nominations will continue to seek input from teams. Nominations is responsible and ultimately accountable except for the teams that are filled by the bishop. There are also teams whose population is dictated by the Book of Discipline. Ms. Smith pointed to a time in 2012 when Julius Archibald was on the Rules Committee, he said that special interest committees had autonomy in selecting their members. Mr. Urriolla agreed with Ms. Smith’s suggestion to investigate her recollection and pointed to paragraph 654 of the Book of Discipline that dictates a majority of those serving on the Commission on Native American Ministries be Native American. The Rev. Alan Kinney pointed out that as chair of the Social Holiness Team he has never been asked by Nominations about needs for membership and asked why there was such a delay in receiving the Nominations report. Mr. Urriolla explained that the Nominations team has, every year, put out a call to teams. Rev. Kinney disagreed adamantly. Mr. Urriolla insisted that the outreach was made and apologized if Alan did not get the request. The delay was owned by Mr. Urriolla, who explained that life got in the way and apologized for the delay. The Rev. Lisa Taylor moved an amendment to the resolution as underlined: “In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development in consultation with the team in need of filling a vacancy shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team.” The amendment to the resolution was seconded and, without remark from the floor, supported with a vote of 372/81. Bishop Webb answered a question from the que about who has ultimate responsibility for deciding who gets to serve on each committee and team by explaining that some are nominated by the bishop and some by the Nominations Committee. The slate is then voted on at Annual Conference. Not all vacancies are filled in the same way.

Without additional comment from the floor, Bishop Webb opened the ballot of this yes/no vote. This recommendation to add to the paragraph titled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies, as amended, passed with a vote 407/59. Mr. Urriolla presented the fourth recommendation, to amend the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference, found starting on Page 157 of the 2021 Upper New York Annual Conference Journal II, by adding to the paragraph labeled “Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development (¶610)” on page 159, starting at line 6, after the sentence ending, “Chairperson of the Rules Committee shall serve ex-officio with vote” as underlined in context below the rationale. Rationale: This recommendation invites conference teams, boards, and agencies who serve and advocate for minoritized and/or disenfranchised communities at the Annual Conference level to name a member of their team to serve on the Conference Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development, ex-officio, with voice and vote. This would bring in more diverse perspectives to the work of Conference Nominations and Leadership Development as well as build more bridges between the Annual Conference teams, boards, and agencies. It is recommended to add to the paragraph labeled Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development (¶610) as: “The Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall be elected and serve in accordance with the provisions of The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church and the Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference. The ‘complete report of nominations’ submitted by the Committee to the Annual Conference shall include not only the nominations for chairs and/or members of groups initiated by this committee, but also the nominations made by other groups or individuals in accordance with The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church and these Rules. The committee shall solicit suggestions from committees on nominations and leadership development of local churches, and from local church lay leaders. The elected membership of this Committee shall consist of nine persons (ideally three clergypersons, three laymen, and three laywomen) elected to quadrennial classes of 2016, 2020, etc. on a staggered basis. The normal, full length term of office shall be for four years, with the membership of the existing classes of 2013 and 2014 having their terms adjusted to 2016 or 2020. The District Lay Leaders, or designee, shall serve ex-officio, with vote if that person is the only person present from the district, concerned, or without vote otherwise. The Conference Lay Leader (or one of the Associate Conference Lay Leaders), and the Chairperson of the Rules Committee shall serve ex-officio with vote. The Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries may each send one member, to be determined at their organizational meeting, to serve on this team ex-officio with vote. The Director of Connectional Ministries shall serve ex-officio without vote.” With no comments or questions from the floor, Bishop Webb opened the ballot of this yes/no vote. This recommendation to add to the paragraph titled Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development (¶610), passed with a vote of 381/80.

Mr. Urriolla closed with a moment of personal privilege to share about the power found when we work together, even when we are exhausted. He also offered thanks to the nominations team and all who supported the work of the team, before moving the adoption of the full report of the Nominations and Leadership Development Team, which was adopted with a vote of 436/33. Bishop Webb expressed his own gratitude for the team and urged us to pray for those who will be doing the work of the teams and committees. Bishop Webb called on Steve Hustedt, who has resigned from the position of Dir. of Communications, to express gratitude for his years of service and invited Steve to share thoughts. Mr. Hustedt shared about where he’s been and where he is going, to be the lead communicator in the College of Science at Perdue University. The proposed 2023 Ministry Spending Plan is found on the UNY website on the Annual Conference 2022 page and the complete report from the Committee on Finance Administration is found on page 55 of the 2022 Conference Journal I. Holly Roush presented the CF&A report and the 2023 budget. Holly Roush presented the 2023 Ministry Spending Plan and put it before the body for approval. Bishop Webb called for comments and questions and opened the ballot after seeing none in the que. The 2023 Ministry Spending Plan passed with a vote of 445/22. Ms. Roush expressed gratitude for supporting the budget. Bishop Webb asked if we were ready to receive the whole report. The Rev. Joel Holcomb asked about the increase in Jurisdictional Administration costs from $127,000 in 2020 to $132,500 in 2021. Ms. Roush explained that 2020 included a Pandemic Credit that reduced the cost for that one year. With no further discussion, Bishop Webb opened the ballot, and the full report of the Council on Finance Administration was approved with a vote of 462/5. Bishop Webb offered his thanks to Ms. Roush and Finance Dir., Bob Flask for their leadership and their teams for all their work. Mr. Dan Fuller raised a general process question concerning how those who speak are brought to the body, with those presenting resolutions and reports given both audio and visual coverage but those who are calling in from the floor only get audio coverage. This feels preferential, and he asked if there is a way to correct this. Bishop Webb shared that the hope is to gather in person in the future so this will not be a consideration. Mr. Fuller’s concern will be referred to the Sessions Team to consider their reasoning and any ways to address this in future virtual gatherings. Bishop Webb explained that we had completed all the business planned for the day. While we could have pressed through and completed the business planned for the following day, our youth and young adults prepared worship for the morning and there are other important events on the agenda that cannot be flexible in when they begin. We, therefore, adjourned plenary until Saturday morning at 9 a.m. with the anticipation of concluding before noon. The Rev. Bob Kolvik-Campbell prayed a benediction before we recessed until the Memorial Service.

The Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church 2022 Memorial Service began at 7:30 p.m. Attendance was by invitation only, while live streaming was provided to all. Friends and family who gathered, remembered, and celebrated the lives of the 27 clergy, 24 clergy spouses, and several lay persons who passed away since the last Annual Conference. The Memorial Service booklet that names those who were celebrated in this service can be found on the Conference website. In her message, the Rev. Rhonda Kouterick shared from Jeremiah highlighting that even the prophet laments when he said, “My sorrow cannot be healed; I am sick at heart” (8:18) and “My heart has been crushed…; I mourn; I am completely dismayed” (8:21), and when Jeremiah asked God, “Is there no balm in Gilead?” (8:22). Rev. Kouterick then offered that there is indeed a balm for those who have lost loved ones in expressions of sympathy and love, in sharing memories, and in God’s grace.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The Upper New York Conference of the United Methodist Church Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022 (Virtual) Morning Session Opening Worship, led by the Young Adults, began at 9 a.m. Their video included various Scripture readings, music, and reflections on the Northeastern Jurisdiction Mission of Peace. An offering for this valuable ministry has collected $2,069.77, as of Nov. 30, 2022. After a break, Bishop Webb called the morning Plenary session to order at 9:45 a.m. with words of welcome and gratitude for the young adults who led us in the morning’s worship. Charles Syms brought a monitoring report by sharing circle graphs of speakers from the day prior and some conclusions. When we consider speakers by gender, we find the closest balance as that between female and male. However, of all speakers, only a third identified as laity. The differential increases even further when we consider racial self-identification, which showed only 12% of those who spoke during session the day prior identified as a person of color. And when we factor together race and gender, we find that no speakers identified themselves as a woman of color. Mr. Syms also shared that his team is tracking those who identify as non-binary, but no one has done so to this point. Bishop Webb thanked the team for their work. The Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding introduced the Advance Specials report which is found on page 20 of the 2022 Conference Journal I and offered a word of gratitude for Rev. Jeff Childs and the rest of the team. Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding instructed the body to add the Southern Sudan Health Project and the Buffalo 10 Scholarship to their copies of the report. The Rev. Childs highlighted and thanked the members of the team who were elected the day prior because we have not had such a team for years. He invited others to join and shared the history of their work, along with hopes for the future. Rev. Childs also spoke in favor of adopting the Advance Specials as presented. With no other requests to make comment, Bishop Webb opened the ballot to adopt the Advance Specials as presented with the addition of the Southern Sudan Health Project and Buffalo 10 Scholarship, which was adopted with a 390/9 vote. Bishop Webb closed this discussion reminding the body that had just adopted these Advance Specials is now called to support them with donations, “These are ways in which we together have a greater impact in our communities, our state, this nation and across the world. Thank you in advance for financially contributing to these ministries and these opportunities to further the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Recognitions of retirees, LLPs, CLMs, and COS completions Bishop Webb introduced a video celebrating those who have retired since our last gathering with regrets that we cannot say thank you in the ways we do when we gather in-person, “One of my biggest regrets is that we cannot see these people in person look them in the eye, to shake their hand, and give them a hug for their years of ministry.” He explained that we celebrate 732 years of service when we tally up the years all from each of these servants. We know that United Methodist pastors don’t really retire because they stay involved in the mission and ministry of the church. Following the video Bishop Webb offered thanks to God for these amazing servants of Christ. Bishop Webb turned to a video celebrating those who earned their credentials to be Local Licensed Pastors this past year. Following the video, he congratulated those who earned their license and expressed gratitude for their ministry.

106

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Bishop Webb introduced the video celebrating those who have completed the academic requirements in the Course of Study, however, the video celebrating those who completed the requirements to become Certified Lay Ministers was shared. Bishop thanked those laity who have answered the call to certified ministry and congratulated those who have completed those requirements before the video of those who have completed Course of Study was shared. Bishop offered further congratulations. Bishop Webb asked that the Cabinet be shown on the screens and thanked them for their commitment to Jesus and work on the mission of the church. He specifically recognized those stepping off the cabinet and those recently installed. Bishop Webb remembered the Rev. Vonda Fossitt. Setting of Appointments All appointments have been set as of July 1, 2022, but this is a time of recognizing and celebrating those appointments. Bishop Webb explained that throughout the year the cabinet consults with clergy, staff-parish relations committees, and local congregations to prayerfully discern God’s call and then invite clergy and laity to work in partnership for the glory of God. He spoke to those who have been appointed and to the laity who received a pastor. Bishop Webb prayed for all in ministry in the United Methodist Church. Bishop Webb attempted to thank all who made this session of Annual Conference possible, explaining that the work began the day after 2021 session and any words of thank-you are not enough. Rev. Joellyn Tuttle, Sessions Chair, led through twists and turns. The Rev. Nancy Dibelius and each member of the Worship team, who also had to adjust their original plans several times. GNTV brought amazing expertise and grace through David Wood and his team. The Communications Team - Shelby, Mary, and Shannon, led by Steve Hustedt – who tell the story. The Conference Staff who Bishop Webb will hold up against any other staff in the connection – because they are each extremely gifted. Those who brought support help – ushers and greeters for the services, kitchen set up and serving crews, and the Liverpool First UMC. District Administrative Assistants who support the work of the District Superintendents as well as the pastors and laity on their districts. Last, but not least, Bill and Mary – the episcopal office staff is matched by none other. The Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding interrupted, to thank Bishop Mark Webb for 10 years of service to the Upper New York Annual Conference. He shared that there are not adequate words to express our gratitude and extended an open invitation to the farewell reception in November. Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding offered words of love, grace, and an invitation to return any time, before introducing a video of highlights of Bishop Webb’s tenure serving the Upper New York Annual Conference. Bishop Webb gave his closing remarks sharing from his own memories, expressing thanks for the opportunity to serve, regret and apologies for mistakes made, gratitude for prayer and other support from the people of God who are the Upper New York Annual Conference. He lifted Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians encouraging the humility needed for unity in Jesus Christ. Before seeking a closing motion Bishop Webb offered words of thanks to the Rev. Carolyn Stow, in her first year as Conference Secretary. Rev. Stow offered the closing motion; “The UNYAC will be adjourned until a virtual adjourned session on March 25, 2023. Our next regular session of Annual Conference will meet in person on June 1-3, 2023, in Syracuse NY. We will also have a virtual adjourned session on Oct. 14, 2023.” A second was lifted.

Bishop Webb opened this last ballot and offered an invitation to the ordination service via livestream while waiting for the results; Passing with a vote of 372/12, Bishop Mark Webb declared the thirteenth session of the Upper New York Annual Conference adjourned. The Service of Commissioning and Ordination was held at the Liverpool First UMC at 3 p.m. Attendance was by invitation only, with livestreaming available for all to view. The booklet for the service can be found on the Annual Conference 2022 page of the Conference website. Bishop Mark Webb officiated and offered the sermon titled, “Instructions for the Journey.” In it, he gave authority to each ordinand and commissioner by name, and offered instruction, “The first thing each of us must do on this journey of faith and ministry is to submit to the authority of God – trust the authority and authenticity of God to change us.” An offering for New Faith Communities that as of Nov. 30, 2022, has yielded $606.18, was held. Seven were ordained and one commissioned for the work of an Elder, each surrounded by friends and family. A celebration reception followed.

The recommendation to amend the Organizational Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference, found starting on page 157 of the 2021 Upper New York Annual Conference Journal, Vol. II, by adding a new paragraph on page 157, starting at line 44 that reads: Limits on Membership to Conference Agencies Unless otherwise stated, it shall be the preference of the Upper New York for individuals to only be elected to serve on one Conference Agency or Board. This preference shall not preclude individuals from minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities from serving on Conference Agencies or Boards whose primary mission is serving and/or advocating for their minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities, including, but not limited to, the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Ministry Action Team for Higher Education, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries. Likewise, this preference shall not preclude individuals from ex-officio membership on Conference Agencies and Boards by virtue of their position or status. Result - failed motion to refer to the rules committee by a vote of 170/312 and approval by a vote of 345/141

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

The recommendation to add to the Conference Rules paragraph labeled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies as underlined: For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in “membership classes,” the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full-length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full-length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive fulllength terms. Individuals who have served two consecutive full-length terms may be invited by the Nominations and Leadership Development Team to continue service on the team in emeritus status, with voice and no vote. Individuals serving in this capacity may return to full service on the group following one year of emeritus service, if nominated by the Nominations and Leadership Development team. Partial length terms of less than three years shall not be counted in this regard for elections occurring before 2012. Service “on a quadrennial basis” indicates full-length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year. The recommendation was approved by a vote of 374/124 The recommendation to add to the Conference Rules paragraph labeled Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies as underlined: For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in “membership classes”, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full-length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full-length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive fulllength terms. Partial length terms of less than three years shall not be counted in this regard for elections occurring before 2012. In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team. The appointee’s service on this group shall begin immediately following their confirmation. At the regular Annual Conference session immediately following their nomination to the Conference Agency or Board, the Annual Conference shall ratify this nomination or elect a new individual to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. If their vacancy service equates to less than half of the length of the full term of that team, their vacancy service shall not count as a full term, and they shall not be subject to existing term limits for that team. If their vacancy service equates to half the length of the full term for that team or longer, their vacancy term shall count as a full term, subject to existing term limits for that team. Service “on a quadrennial basis” indicates full-length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year.

The “complete report of nominations” submitted by the Committee to the Annual Conference shall include not only the nominations for chairs and/or members of groups initiated by this committee, but also the nominations made by other groups or individuals in accordance with The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church and these Rules. The committee shall solicit suggestions from committees on nominations and leadership development of local churches, and from local church lay leaders. The elected membership of this Committee shall consist of nine persons (ideally three clergy-persons, three laymen, and three laywomen) elected to quadrennial classes of 2016, 2020, etc. on a staggered basis. The normal, full length term of office shall be for four years, with the membership of the existing classes of 2013 and 2014 having their terms adjusted to 2016 or 2020. The District Lay Leaders, or designee, shall serve ex-officio, with vote if that person is the only person present from the district, concerned, or without vote otherwise.

meet with all potential candidates for ministry who are duly voted upon, and recommended by, their local church’s Charge Conference except for when a candidate has been discontinued by the District Committee on Ministry. In such instances after two years, the candidate, after approval of the local church SPRC, may submit a letter to the District Committee on Ministry requesting they be allowed to restart the candidacy process. The letter should provide in detail what they have done to address the issue(s) that led to their discontinuance. If a candidate is discontinued from the process, they shall be informed in writing by the District Committee on Ministry or the Board of Ordained Ministry of the reasoning for their discontinuance. The reasons given shall be concrete, specific, reasonable, and actionable, and shall not be in any way vague. The candidate shall then only be required to speak to the reasons given in their discontinuance when they request to be readmitted. The Upper New York Annual Conference implores the Board of Ordained Ministry to ensure that the District Committees on Ordained Ministry adhere to these recommendations as voted upon and recommended by the Upper New York Annual Conference; Passed with a vote of 252 /221 UNYAC2022.3 - Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act, submitted by The Upper New York Task Force on Peace With Justice in Palestine/Israel co-chairs, Linda Bergh and Karen Peterson, resolves the Upper New York Annual Conference go on record as supporting H.R. 2590 — 117th Congress (2021-2022) Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act, all Annual Conference members be encouraged to contact their Congress members to request their support of HR 2590, and the Conference Secretary to write to the President of the United States to encourage him to support and sign this legislation. Passed with a vote of 414/82 UNYAC2022.4 - A Call to Sisters and Brothers leaving the United Methodist Church, submitted by Social Holiness Committee of the Upper New York Annual Conference chair, Rev. Alan D. Kinney, chair, resolves to call upon all clergy and laity who have been elected to be members of the General Conference and the Jurisdictional Conference and plan to leave the United Methodist Church to become members of the GMC or other denominations to resign their positions. This is to allow those elected as alternates and plan to be members of the United Methodist Church in the years following 2022 to be part of the decision-making process. This is in no way meant to be disrespectful of the hearts and souls of those who now feel they no longer can or will support or serve the United Methodist Church. The decisions that the General and Jurisdictional Conference will be making are for a denomination they no longer wish to affiliate with; Passed with a vote of 369/156 UNYAC2022.5 - Creation of a Buffalo 10 Scholarship, submitted by Rev.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II IV. Daily Proceedings

Both the bishop and Ms. Vianese were clear, stating several times throughout, this process is NOT about electing or identifying the next bishop. This is about endorsing a candidate for election, who, if elected, will be appointed by a Jurisdictional committee. Due to a brief technological blip, names that had been lifted for nomination before a break were not able to be recognized. A vote was held to add the additional four nominations that came in after the discussion on this topic and closing the nominations process. The resolution was carried with a vote of 396/162. The first ballot of candidates was comprised of the 8 people who accepted their nomination: Rev. Giovanni Arroyo, Rev. Michelle Bogue-Trost, Rev. Aaron Bouwens, Rev. Stephen Cady, Rev. Wendy Deichmann, Rev. Richelle Goff, Rev. Sherri Rood, and Rev. Heather Williams. The 6 candidates with the most votes made up the second ballot. The third ballot was comprised of those 3 candidates who received the most votes from the second ballot. The final ballot resulted in Rev. Wendy Deichmann being endorsed as an episcopal candidate from UNYAC with a total of more than 60% of the vote. Submitted in His Peace! Rev. Carolyn Stow, MSW, Secretary to the UNYAC

Conference Rules The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (2022) The Rules contained herein consist of the totality of Rules previously adopted by the Annual Conference, as amended. Adopted by the Annual Conference, May 2012 Amended by Annual Conference, June 2013, Amended by Annual Conference, October 2022. The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church Organizational Rules The organizational plan of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (as defined in The Plan of Union of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, approved on June 19, 2010, hereinafter referred to as The Plan of Union, with statements of Vision and Purpose contained therein) will be as determined by the Annual Conference itself, in such a manner as (1) to be responsive to the Vision and Purpose of the Annual Conference, (2) to be responsive to the Mission of The United Methodist Church, as most recently adopted by The General Conference of The United Methodist Church, 2016, (3) to be compatible with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2016 hereinafter referred to as The Discipline or The Book of Discipline, and (4) to be reflective of the Rules contained herein. Paragraph references contained herein are to The Book of Discipline unless indicated otherwise. The primary loci for ministry and mission in The United Methodist Church are the local churches and the communities in which they are located. The Annual Conference has responsibilities for sharing and assisting the ministry and mission of its local churches by equipping for ministry and by providing linkages for the sharing of ministry through such means as motivation, encouragement, facilitation, coordination training, valuation, and other forms of support. The Annual Conference also provides the challenge to global ministry (that is, connectional, ecumenical, and secular ministry beyond the local church and its community), and the link between local ministry and global ministry. In order to fulfill its role with respect to its local churches, The United Methodist Church, and the church universal, the Annual Conference will elect or otherwise select persons to serve as individuals or as members of specific groups, with understood duties, responsibilities, and accountabilities to the local churches and to the Annual Conference at large. Elected Members and Ex Officio Members of Conference Agencies In what follows, there will be distinctions between those who are directly elected by the Annual Conference itself or by a group within the Annual C onference to serve as an individual, or as a member of a group (with privileges of both voice and vote) in contrast to those who serve (ex officio) by virtue of holding some other office or position and serving with privileges of voice and vote, or with privilege of voice only. Persons who serve on General Church Agencies or Jurisdictional Agencies shall serve on the corresponding agencies of the Annual Conference, ex‐officio, with vote. Unless otherwise stated, it shall be the preference of the Upper New York Conference for individuals to only be elected to serve on one Conference Agency or Board. This preference shall not preclude individuals from minoritized, disenfranchised, or under‐served communities from serving on Conference Agencies or Boards whose primary mission is serving and/or advocating for their minoritized, disenfranchised, or under‐served communities, including, but not limited to, the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Ministry Action Team for Higher Education, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries. Likewise, this preference shall not preclude individuals from ex‐officio membership on Conference Agencies and Boards by virtue of their position or status.

Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in “membership classes”, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full‐length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full‐length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive full‐length terms. Individuals who have served two consecutive full‐length terms may be invited by the Nominations and Leadership Development Team to continue service on the team in emeritus status, with voice and no vote. Individuals serving in this capacity may return to full service on the group following one year of emeritus service, if nominated by the Nominations and Leadership Development team. In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development in consultation with the team in need of filling a vacancy shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team. The appointee’s service on this group shall begin immediately following their confirmation. At the regular Annual Conference session immediately following their nomination to the Conference Agency or Board, the Annual Conference shall ratify this nomination or elect a new individual to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. If their vacancy service equates to less than half of the length of the full term of that team, their vacancy service shall not count as a full term, and they shall not be subject to existing term limits for that team. If their vacancy service equates to half the length of the full term for that team or longer, their vacancy term shall count as a full term, subject to existing term limits for that team. Service “on a quadrennial basis” indicates full‐length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year. Lay Members of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise, lay persons elected to serve on groups or individuals within The Upper New York Annual Conference shall be professing members of The United Methodist Church, except for youth members. The Nomination Process and Diversity Recommendations Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, nominations shall be by the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development, or from the floor of the Annual Conference; elections will be by the Annual Conference itself meeting in plenary session. Membership of organizations within the Annual Conference shall, to as great an extent as possible, conform and adhere to the recommendations contained in ¶610.5 of The Book of Discipline. It is further recommended that, as much as possible, there be balance of membership from among the respective Districts of the Annual Conference, a balance of representation from urban, suburban, and rural local churches, and representation from small‐member and ethnic‐minority local churches. Leadership of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, groups elected by the Annual Conference will be expected to organize themselves at their first meetings of the year. This Organizational Meeting will include the election of a chairperson (unless one is designated through the nominations process), a vice chairperson, and a (recording) secretary from among the elected members. Once elected, these officers will continue in place until new officers are elected. In the event that the slate of nominees (including continuing members) for a specific group includes neither a continuing chairperson nor a continuing vice‐chairperson for that group, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall designate an initial convener from among the nominees for the group. This person will convene the organizational meeting and preside until a chairperson is duly elected. Scheduling of Conference Agency Meetings A schedule of meetings for each group will be proposed and approved by majority vote at the Organizational Meeting of each group, or electronically as soon thereafter as possible. The nature and complexity of the work to be completed shall drive the scheduling and frequency of meetings. Meetings of groups consisting of at least 50 percent

Changing the Policies and Procedures - After initial approval in 2011, proposals for changes in the standing policies and procedures regarding petition and resolutions will be submitted by the Committee on Petitions and Resolutions to the Committee on Rules. The Committee on Rules will consider such proposals for changes in policies and procedures (and may, itself, initiate recommended changes) and will make its recommendations to the Commission on Sessions and of the Annual Conference. Scope of These Policies and Procedures, and the Responsibilities of the Committee on Petitions and Resolutions - The Committee on Petitions and Resolutions shall be responsible for all aspects of the organizing and processing of Petitions, Resolutions, and other items of a legislative nature through those portions of the Annual Conference Session designated for “Holy Conferencing” by the Commission on Sessions. This shall include items addressed to the Annual Conference itself for action and/or implementation, as well as those seeking action and/or implementation from elsewhere within the Church (connectional and ecumenical), or from society at large. Committee Budget and Meetings - Committee on Petitions and Resolutions financial needs shall be included in the Annual Conference budgets and expenditures. When feasible, and at the discretion of the chair and the advice of the resident bishop, technological assistance in performing committee work will occur in place of face‐to‐face committee meetings. Definition: “Petition” - A “petition” is a document that requests a specific action of the Annual Conference itself, the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church, or The General Conference of The United Methodist Church. When addressed to the Annual Conference or the Jurisdictional Conference, this action may be a request to modify the Rules, procedures, and/or the Polity of the Conference. When addressed to the General Conference, this action may be to modify (a portion of) The Book of Discipline; it may be to uphold (a portion of) The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church; or it may be to modify a Rule of Order of The General Conference of The United Methodist Church. A “modification” is an addition, a deletion, or other change. Definition: “Resolution” - A “resolution” is a document that states something that the Upper New York Annual Conference, itself, resolves to be a Conference position, a statement of understanding, or a call to action. When sent to the General Conference, the action may be to modify (through addition, deletion, or other change), to renew, and/or to uphold a portion of The Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church. Definition: “Other Legislative Items” - There may be items requiring legislative action that are neither Petitions nor Resolutions as described above. An example is the Conference budget. Standardization and Publication of Format for Petitions to The General Conference - Each petition will follow the format required by the General Conference. Additionally, for the information of the Annual Conference in session, there may be brief and separate additional written explanatory comments in a preface to the petition. The Director of Communications will place the format on the Conference’s website as soon as he or she has received it from the General Conference secretary. Standardization and Publication of Format for Resolutions to The General Conference - Each resolution will follow the format required by the General Conference for resolutions. Additionally, for the information of the Annual Conference in session, there may be brief and separate additional written explanatory comments in a preface to the resolution. The Director of Communications will place the format on the Conference’s website as soon as he or she has received it from the General Conference secretary. Each resolution to the Annual Conference will indicate the appropriate Annual Conference agency or office designated for implementing it and for future reporting on its status at the next Annual Conference session.

Appendix II Equalization Lay Members I. The Constitution (¶32 of The Book of Discipline 2016) and Discipline (¶602.4 of The Book of Discipline 2016) require that the number of Lay Members of each Annual Conference be augmented, through the addition of “Equalization Lay Members” (with voice and vote) so as to equal the number of Clergy Members in the Annual Conference concerned. The means for electing these Equalization Lay Members is left to the discretion of each Annual Conference. II. The Conference Secretary shall, at the close of each calendar year, determine the number of Equalization Lay Members to be needed at the following Session of the Annual Conference by calculating the difference between the number of Clergy Members of the Annual Conference and the number of Lay Members to be elected by the respective Local Charge Conferences. This number shall be reported, promptly, to the Cabinet, the Chair of the Sessions Committee, and the Chair of the Rules Committee. III. The Chair of the Rules Committee shall create a prioritized list of potential nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members. Lay persons who are the elected members from their Local Charge Conferences will not be included on this list. This list, with reserves if it exceeds the number of Equalization Lay Members needed as determined by the Director of Communications, and reserves beyond that number, shall be published and distributed by the Director of Communications with other pre-conference materials, and incorporated by reference into the Conference Secretary’s Organizational Motion so that these nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members (and Reserve Equalization Lay Members) can be duly nominated and elected as a first order of business of the Annual Conference. (Persons who are beyond the number specified by the Conference Secretary who might otherwise be qualified to serve as Equalization Lay Members shall be eligible to serve as Reserve Equalization Lay Members.) IV. General Rules and Limitations A. All Lay Members of the Annual Conference, with the exception of youth, must be Professing Members of The United Methodist Church. Persons who are not Professing Members of The United Methodist Church may be granted voice without vote at Sessions of the Annual Conference. These persons shall not count toward the total number of Equalization Lay Members. B.

No Lay Person shall be eligible to serve simultaneously both as an Elected Lay Member (from a Local Charge Conference) and as Equalization Lay Member at the same Session of the Annual Conference. Election from a Local Charge Conference shall have precedence over election to serve as an Equalization Lay Member.

No Lay Person may hold more than one Equalization Lay Membership at a single session of the Annual Conference.

D. Clergy Members are ineligible to serve in any lay capacity. V. The prioritized list of potential nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members shall be as follows: A. Lay Persons, by virtue of their office, as specifically identified in ¶602.4 of The Book of Discipline 2016, during their tenure of office. This list is limited by The Discipline, and includes: • • • • •

The Conference Lay Leader. The District Lay Leaders. The Conference President (or co‐Presidents) of United Women in Faith. The Conference President (or co‐Presidents) of United Methodist Men. The President (or co‐Presidents) of the Conference Young Adult Ministry Team.

Those who cannot be so accommodated will be Alternate Equalization Lay Members. After the foregoing have been accommodated, the remaining Equalization Lay Memberships (if any) will be divided as equally as possible among the respective districts of the Annual Conference, with the remainders of this division being shifted among the Districts on an annual basis. These Equalization Memberships will be awarded by the respective District Lay Leaders in consultation with organizations within the District.

Attention should also be given to unrepresented local churches on multi‐point charges, to persons who are able to bring wisdom and experience of value to the Annual Conference, and to the guidelines for inclusivity found in ¶140 of The Book of Discipline 2016.

Delegation A. The delegation will consist of all elected delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conferences and the elected alternates. B. At a time and place determined by the presiding bishop, the delegation will meet at the site of the Annual Conference. The bishop will offer prayer, will introduce each member of the delegation, and will offer whatever assistance he or she may wish. C. The delegation leader for 2016‐20 will be the first lay person elected. In subsequent quadrennia, the delegation leader will alternate between the first clergy person elected and the first layperson elected. The delegation’s vice‐leader for 2016-2020 will be the first clergy person elected. In subsequent quadrennia, the delegation’s vice‐leader will alternate between the first layperson elected and the first clergy person elected. D. The Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration will provide financial support of at least four delegation meetings during the year prior to the General Conference. Dates will be determined by the delegation and places in concert with that board or agency. E. Agenda of meetings of the delegation shall include worship; fellowship; attending to logistical matters; and expert‐led discussions regarding selected General and Jurisdictional topics. F. The delegation may ask a delegate who misses more than two consecutive, unexcused meetings to withdraw as a member of the delegation. G. The Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration shall provide for at least one laity alternate (next elected) and one clergy alternate (next elected) to attend the General Conference session and the Jurisdictional Conference session. This financial support will be equivalent to what a delegate receives according to General Conference or Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference rules. The on‐site alternates will facilitate the work of the delegation and its members and will be seated as delegates, when appropriate.

Attachment A from The Book of Discipline, 2012: “Delegates shall be elected in a fair and open process by the Annual Conferences.” (Constitution, Section II, ¶ 13, Article I, page 26). “The persons first elected up to the number determined by the ratio for representation in the General Conference shall be representatives in that body. Additional delegates shall be elected to complete the number determined by the ratio for representation in the jurisdictional or central conference, which, together with those first elected as above, shall be delegates in the jurisdictional or central conference. The additional delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference shall in the order of their election be the reserve delegates to the General Conference. The Annual Conference shall also elect reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference as it may deem desirable. These reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conferences may act as reserve delegates to the General conference when it is evident that not enough reserve delegates attend the General Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶34, p. 34) “The clergy delegates to the General Conference and to the jurisdictional or central conference shall be elected by

and from the ordained ministerial members in full connection with the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶35) See Judicial Council decisions 1, 308, 403, 473, 531, 534, and 875. “The lay delegates to the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences shall be elected by the lay members of the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference without regard to age, provided such delegates shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for at least two years next preceding their election, and shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years next preceding their election, and are members thereof within the Annual Conference electing them at the time of holding the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶36)

Appendix IV Nomination of Candidates for Election to the Episcopacy In accordance with the Constitution and The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (¶46 and ¶405), the responsibility for electing persons to The United Methodist Council of Bishops and the respective Jurisdictional Colleges of Bishops rests with the Jurisdictional Conferences. The respective Annual Conferences may nominate candidates for election to the episcopacy by their Jurisdictional Conferences. The purpose of this Appendix is to establish a procedure whereby the members of the Upper New York Annual Conference, and the Annual Conference itself, may participate in the process of nominating candidates to the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference. The Book of Discipline (¶405) specifically prohibits the binding of any delegate to vote for any specific candidate seeking election to the episcopacy. During the year preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference, the most recently elected Delegates to the Jurisdictional Conference shall serve as a “nominating committee” for the nomination of candidates to the Annual Conference for nomination by the Annual Conference to the Jurisdictional Conference. The Jurisdictional Delegation shall solicit the membership of the Annual Conference (including the members of the Delegation itself)for recommendations and self‐recommendations of persons eligible for election to and service on the episcopacy ¶¶402, 408). The Delegation, guided by The Book of Discipline (¶403) and using procedures of its own design, shall discern the gifts and graces of each and every person so recommended, and shall recommend to the Session of the Annual Conference immediately preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference the nomination of persons discerned by the Delegation to have the gifts and graces for episcopal service. The Annual Conference may nominate none, any, and all of these persons recommended by the Delegation. The Annual Conference can also consider persons nominated directly from the floor. Candidacy is not limited to clergy members of The Upper New York Annual Conference; any person meeting disciplinary requirements (¶¶402 and 408.1) may be recommended. As a part of the solicitation for recommendations from the membership of the Annual Conference, the Delegation will specify the nature of the materials to be included in the recommendation. These shall include contact information, academic preparation, pastoral appointments, a listing of past and present church responsibilities (both denominational and ecumenical), and reasons for the recommendation. There shall also be included a brief statement (less than 200 words) as to why the person being recommended feels that he/she will, in his/her own words, bring the kind of episcopal leadership that The Church needs at this point in time. The Delegation shall share candidate recommendations for persons nominated by the Delegation through online materials on our website. Persons nominated on the floor may distribute comparable materials when their names are submitted.

Appendix V Procedure for the Nomination of Candidates to be Elected to Certain General and Jurisdictional Agencies of The United Methodist Church by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference (¶705) One of the functions of the quadrennial Jurisdictional Conference is the election of persons to serve on specific agencies of the General Church for the coming quadrennium. Nominations for these positions are made by the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee to the Jurisdictional Conference based upon a “pool” of nominees (including both clergy and laity) approved by each of the respective Annual Conferences within the Jurisdictional Conference. It is the responsibility of the Bishop and the Jurisdictional Delegation to present the pool of candidates for endorsement by the Annual Conference session immediately preceding the meeting of the Jurisdictional Conference. The following procedure is to be used in guiding this process. 1.

All members of the General Conference Delegation are to be included in the pool

At least 15 and not more than 45 additional persons are to be included in the pool a.

b. c.

Persons presently serving on a general agency and wishing to continue serving on the same or a different agency may be included in the pool. The electability of these persons by Jurisdictional Conference will be subject to a variety of term limits. Members of the Jurisdictional Delegation (including Reserves) not elected to the General Conference may be included as additional members of the pool. The total pool should include between one and five persons in of each of the following categories: clergy (including at least one clergywoman), laywomen, laymen, youth (ages 12‐16) young adults (ages 17‐28) older adults (over 65), and persons with disabilities. Each name presented to the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee should include an indication of all appropriate categories. If possible the total pool should include at least two persons from each of the following recognized ethnic groups: Asian American, African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Pacific Islander.

Effective in 2016, forms for nomination and/or self‐nomination to the pool will be distributed electronically with Conference pre‐registration forms and available in hard copy at pre‐conference briefings and District Conferences. They must be turned in at the registration table at Annual Conference. A completed nomination form will include name and other contact information; category (item 2c above), ethnicity if appropriate (item 2d above); three preferences as to the agencies on which the applicant would like to serve, together with reasons for volunteering for such service; a listing of past services to their District, the Annual Conference, the Jurisdictional Conference, the General Church, and/or ecumenical agencies; and a list of church memberships or pastoral appointments.

2022-2023 Clergy Support Policies of the Upper New York Annual Conference This policy document is composed of policies approved by multiple agencies of the Upper New York Conference. The agency responsible for each section or sub-section is noted in parentheses. I. Minimum Base Compensation (Comm. On Equitable Compensation) A standardized minimum base compensation is established for The Upper New York Annual Conference that requires the following: A. A minimum base salary, set according to credential level, for all full-time clergy persons as follows: Base Full connection (elder & deacon): $40,984 Provisional: $39,520 Associate: $38,788 FT LP completed Course of Study or MDiv $38,056 FT Local Pastor: $36,593 (Less than full time appointments shall receive a base salary pro-rated according to the appointment.) B.

An additional amount is added to the base for each full-time equivalent year of service based on credentials as follows: Full $410

23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

Provisional $395

Associate $388

FTLP w/MDiv $381

FTLP $366

per year of FTE service up to 25 years

Plus, an additional $500 for each additional church on the pastoral charge (over one), not adjusted for parttime appointments.

D. No pastor’s salary can be decreased as a result of this policy, as long as they retain their current appointment. E.

All churches are encouraged to offer a salary increase of no less than 2.5%. We encourage you to consider that inflation is 9% at the time of this report. Churches are encouraged to consider further raises based on exceptional service.

II. Clergy Housing Policy (Comm. On Equitable Compensation) In the United Methodist Church, housing is provided to clergy. While the parsonage remains the normative provision of housing, some parishes prefer to offer, and some clergy prefer to receive, a housing allowance instead. The complexities of contemporary economics, local church resources and pastoral households make it less likely that a “one size fits all” housing provision best meets the needs of every situation. Local churches and clergy both need to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages, especially if considering a change from one to the other. A. Values and Considerations The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church believes that congregations and clergy benefit when clergy and their families live in buildings which are safe, clean, comfortable, and as commodious as the average home in their community. It is required that clergy housing will meet all applicable local and state residential codes. As faithful stewards of the earth and other limited resources, congregations and clergy are encouraged to make clergy housing as energy efficient as possible. In order to be as welcoming as possible, consideration should be given to making clergy housing accessible to residents or guests with mobility challenges.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

Local churches may prefer to provide a housing allowance for a variety of reasons: less property to maintain and repair, more predictable budget implications, and no “landlord” issues with their pastor. Likewise, clergy households may prefer a housing allowance for other reasons, such as: accumulation of equity, allowance for differing clergy household needs, ability to locate in a desired location, freedom to renovate and refurbish as desired, and no “tenant” relationship with parishioners. However, it is also to be acknowledged that tension may exist between the appointive/itinerant system of clergy deployment and the housing allowance system. Pastoral appointments are made on an annual basis at the will of the Bishop. The financial advantage to long-term clergy home ownership may be at odds with a shortterm need or desire for a pastoral transition. It must be understood by all that the provision of a housing allowance or parsonage shall not be a primary consideration by the bishop and Cabinet for future appointments for the pastor. Further, a local church that has a parsonage available to the pastor is under no obligation to provide a housing allowance if that pastor prefers to live in a different location. B. Parsonages 1. Relationships and Responsibility The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by the church as a place of privacy for the pastor’s family. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, ¶258.2.g.16) The chairperson of the Staff-Parish Relations Committee, the chairperson of the Board of Trustees or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee, if one exists, and the pastor shall make an annual inspection and review of the church-owned parsonage to assure proper maintenance. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, ¶258.2.g.16, and ¶2532.4) The church shall provide a parsonage which addresses the values noted above and the standards listed below. Standard maintenance and repairs, and renovation of the parsonage are the responsibility of the church. The Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall arrange, supervise, and arrange payment for such tasks. Necessary work shall be scheduled in consultation with the pastor. The church and the pastor shall work together to develop a process to assure timely, good quality repairs and maintenance. • Parsonages with a wood burning heat source must have a professional chimney inspection (and cleaning if necessary) at least every two years. • The pastor shall furnish the house to suit his or her needs. • The pastor is responsible for notifying the church about necessary repairs as the need arises. • The pastor is responsible for the repair of damages exceeding normal wear and tear. • The church, in consultation with the pastor, is responsible for lawn care and snow removal. • The church shall pay for insurance, heat, electricity, garbage and trash removal, water and sewer, basic telephone service (landline or cell), and installation fees for cable or satellite television service if broadcast reception is inadequate. • Churches that expect pastors to have access to the internet away from the church should pay for internet access at the parsonage. • The pastor shall pay for personal toll calls and communication services beyond those provided by the church.

If a pastor is appointed to serve more than one local congregation, all congregations shall share equitably the costs and other responsibilities of providing a parsonage. If more than one congregation has a parsonage the parsonage of residence shall be determined by the District Superintendent in consultation with the appointed pastor and the congregations. If a parsonage is occupied by a clergy couple serving different appointments, all congregations served shall share equitably and reasonably the costs and responsibilities of providing a parsonage. The parsonage of residence and shared cost responsibilities shall be determined by the District Superintendent in consultation with the appointed pastors and affected congregations. Adherence to this policy by both clergy and congregation is essential to the appointment covenant. Failure to adhere to this policy by either clergy or congregation may jeopardize current and future appointments. 2.

Parsonage Standards

Parsonages shall have at least 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry facilities, appropriate storage capacity, and provision for two parking spaces. All shall be in good repair and meet all applicable local and state health and safety codes. The parsonage shall be at least the size of the average home in its community. The church is responsible for providing a furnished office or study for the pastor. While it is preferable to locate this office in the church or another church building, if necessary it may be a separate, additional room in the parsonage. If the Pastor’s primary office is located in the parsonage, it must have its own, separate, outside entrance and unencumbered windows, in accordance with Safe Sanctuary policies. 3. Rooms and Spaces a. Bedrooms should be large enough to contain a bed, adequate storage for clothing (dresser and closet, or dresser and wardrobe), and a desk and chair or a reading area. It is preferable to have at least one fully accessible bedroom on the ground floor of the house. b. Bathroom facilities shall include: a toilet and sink on each floor, a tub, a shower, a medicine cabinet, and storage space for linens and supplies in or near the main bathroom. It is preferable to have at least 2 complete bathrooms including a fully accessible, complete bathroom on the ground floor. c. The kitchen shall contain at least: a standard size stove and oven, a refrigerator with freezer, a dishwasher, built-in cabinets or pantry, a full-size sink, adequate counter space, and wall and floor finishes which can be kept clean. d. Living and dining rooms should be large enough to accommodate 4-6 residents plus guests. A combined living and dining room is acceptable if large enough to fully accommodate both functions. e. Laundry facilities shall be accessible from the interior of the house and include: an automatic washer and dryer, and storage for supplies. It is preferable to be able to conceal the laundry area and even better to have a separate laundry room with a sink and space to sort and fold. It is preferable to have these facilities fully accessible and on the ground floor. f. Parking shall be off-street, preferably in a garage located on the parsonage property.

Systems a.

Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling - The parsonage shall be equipped with central heating capable of maintaining a temperature of 68 degrees in all rooms. Windows shall be in good repair and operable to provide adequate ventilation. Full bathrooms should have adequate ventilation to prevent excessive moisture build-up. Adequate passive or mechanical air cooling should be provided.

Electrical System - Wiring, outlets, and fixtures should be safe and adequate to meet the lighting and technology needs of a modern household.

Water - Hot and cold, potable, running water shall be available in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area in amounts suitable to the needs of a family. In areas with hard water, water softeners shall be installed and maintained. Leaks of any kind are not acceptable.

Safety, Security, and Environment - Parsonages shall be equipped with properly maintained CO detectors and smoke alarms, and have fire extinguishers in kitchen, furnace room, near fireplaces, pellet stoves or wood stoves, and near bedrooms. Radon testing shall be done periodically, and remedial measures taken if necessary. Visible mold and moldy odors shall not be present.

Communications - The parsonage shall have a reliable telephone system, adequate TV connection and internet access.

Interior finishes - Floors, walls, and fixtures shall be in good condition with coverings which are suitable for the function of the room and in good repair.

Exterior - The roof, exterior walls, exterior doors, windows, and foundation of the parsonage shall be carefully maintained to keep out the elements, pests, and to conserve energy. The house shall be adequately insulated. It is preferable to have energy efficient doors and windows that suit the architecture of the house as much as possible. Porches and decks shall be maintained to ensure their safety. Exterior faces and spaces of the building(s) and yard shall be designed and maintained to be functional for the family, and to be a pleasant addition to the community.

Waivers and Exceptions - If the minimum standards described above cannot be met because of the age or historic character of the house, the charge must propose alternatives which afford an equivalent quality of life to that set by these standards. Any such changes must be approved by the District Superintendent. It is understood that such changes will not compromise the safety provisions of these standards, the overall functionality of the parsonage, or the mandate that it be kept in good repair. It should be noted that the accessibility preferences described above are mandated when purchasing or building a new parsonage. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, ¶ 2543.3b)

Transition Protocols - Prior to a pastor’s move, but no more often than every five years, a certified building inspector shall inspect the parsonage so that the congregation can plan necessary maintenance and repairs. If a pastor is moving and the parsonage has had a professional inspection within the past five years, this pre-move inspection may be performed by the outgoing pastor, the chairperson of the SPRC, and the chairperson of the Board of Trustees and/or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee or their designates. The outgoing pastor shall leave the parsonage clean and in good order. As soon as possible after a change in appointment is announced, the Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall inspect the parsonage for maintenance needs and damage caused by the outgoing residents, including damage caused by pets. If excessive damage is discovered it will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor

to repair, pay for repairs of, or replace the damaged item(s). When the pastor or family has allowed smoking within the parsonage, the cost of professional cleaning, and purchase of an air purifier if necessary, to remove smoke odor will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor. The charge shall refurbish, repair and thoroughly clean the parsonage prior to a new pastor moving in. Damaged walls, ceilings, floors, windows, fixtures and appliances shall be repaired or replaced. Painted surfaces shall be cleaned or repainted. Carpets shall be thoroughly steam cleaned or replaced; replacement is required if the carpet is torn, excessively worn, or permanently stained. Windows shall be cleaned inside and out. In the event that such work requires that the incoming pastor must make temporary living arrangements, related expenses will be paid by the receiving church. It is recommended that a photographic record of house and yard, including each room’s condition and contents, be created and filed for reference and planning purposes. 7.

Treatment of Parsonage Value in Compensation Packages The General Board of Pension & Health Benefits provides the following guidance: When a parsonage is provided, it will be valued at 25% of salary for benefit computation purposes. In a multi-church appointment, this factor is added to salary for all churches served by the pastor, regardless of which church owns the parsonage in which the clergy person lives.

If a clergy couple is serving separate churches and each church/charge has a parsonage available, each clergyperson’s entire compensation will include a parsonage value equal of 25% of salary regardless of where the clergy couple lives. [Note: only the fair rental value of the occupied parsonage is reported by the clergy couple as part of self-employment income]

However, if a clergy couple is serving separate churches, and is living in a parsonage provided by one of the churches with no parsonage offered or available from the other church, only the clergyperson serving the church which provides the parsonage will have the parsonage value added to salary.

C. Housing Allowance All full-time clergy appointed to a full-time charge, or a Conference-responsible extension ministry shall be provided either a parsonage or a housing allowance. In the event that an appointment has already moved to providing a housing allowance for their pastor and a parsonage is no longer available the charge will negotiate an appropriate housing allowance with the incoming pastor. A housing allowance enjoyed by a pastor appointed to charge “A” will not necessarily translate into a housing allowance for that same pastor when s/he is appointed to charge “B.” Housing allowances shall exist in accordance with the following policy or successive policies as determined by future sessions of the Annual Conference: 1.

The housing allowance policy will be in effect from the time the charge moves from providing a physical parsonage to a housing allowance for the current pastor or an incoming pastor. Once the charge makes the transition to providing a housing allowance, that charge shall not be required to return to providing a physical parsonage. In the event that the charge wishes to do so, see item #4 below.

Charges that elect to provide a housing allowance shall do so at a charge/church conference chaired by the District Superintendent after and only after following the steps outlined in item #3 below.

222

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II V. Policies and Resolutions

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

A housing allowance agreement shall be drawn up by the local charge (the Staff/Parish Relations Committee and the Board of Trustees, in consultation with the District Superintendent, should be involved in this process as a joint effort). The agreement shall include the following: a. For the purchase of a home (house, condo, etc.) by the pastor: i.

Costs associated with a typical annual mortgage, based upon a 20% down payment and 30 year mortgage, for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards, to cover at minimum: monthly principal and interest costs and mortgage insurance.

ii.

Costs associated with utility expenses (heat, light, phone, basic cable, internet service if not provided in a separate church office), property taxes for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards. This information will be provided by a reputable realtor or rental agent so a dollar range for housing may be set for the incoming pastor as s/he considers the appointment and seeks housing.

iii. The housing allowance will be at minimum the sum of items i and ii above. EXAMPLE: i. Purchase price of home = $140,000; 20% down - $28,000; 30 year mortgage of $112,000 @ 4.75% is $585 x 12 = $7,020 annually property and school taxes of $4,000 homeowners insurance of $600 ii. Average monthly utility expenses of gas, electric, and bundled phone/internet/tv = $345 x 12 = $4,140 Minimum housing allowance in this example is $15,760.

iv. Charges providing a housing allowance may assist the pastor in obtaining a loan or provide a grant for down payment if needed. Any such agreement for down payment shall become a part of the housing allowance agreement.

v. The housing allowance agreement shall be signed by the pastor, the Chair of Trustees, and the Chair of S/PPRC. b. For the rental of a home (house, apartment, condo, etc.) by the pastor: The housing allowance shall be determined in accordance with item a. sub items i. through v. above. It should be noted that housing (either as an allowance or in physical form) shall be provided in accordance with parsonage standards. In the event that the appointed clergyperson chooses to spend less in a rental circumstance s/he shall be afforded the opportunity to save and invest the difference for the eventuality of providing housing for herself or himself in retirement. This provision provides for the near equivalent opportunity for the pastor to accumulate something akin to equity over the life of the housing allowance. By the same token, should the clergyperson choose to rent a home more costly than a home that meets the parsonage standards, the charge shall not be responsible for the additional costs associated with that choice. c. A charge may use the annual income and capital gain from the sale of a parsonage over the rate of inflation to help support the housing allowance. d. All current IRS regulations shall be met for both recording and reporting purposes.

A charge shall not be required to establish a parsonage after changing to a housing allowance. However, if a charge chooses to return to providing a parsonage, it shall do so only after: a. A full and frank discussion with the clergyperson, the S/PPRC, and the local Board of Trustees. b. An agreement dissolving the housing allowance agreement has been signed by the pastor, the Chair of S/PPRC and the Chair of the Board of Trustees. c. A proposal for the purchase of a new parsonage has been completed in full accordance with The United Methodist Book of Discipline. d. The proposed parsonage is in full compliance with current Conference Parsonage Standards.

D. Housing Exclusion Pastors may utilize the favorable tax advantages of a housing exclusion, which does not increase the compensation package but does lower the pastor’s federal income tax liability. 1.

A Housing Allowance is money paid to the pastor for the purpose of housing in addition to base salary. A Housing Exclusion is the amount of a pastor’s base salary that he/she declares to be excluded from taxable income as housing related expenses. Housing is exempt from Federal Income taxes but is NOT exempt from self-employment tax.

A pastor living in a parsonage may have a Housing Exclusion; a pastor living in his/her own home may take advantage of a Housing Exclusion in addition to the Housing Allowance. This can be accomplished by passing a resolution designating an amount greater than the housing allowance listed on the compensation package. a. Section 107 of the IRC provides that: “In the case of a minister of the gospel, gross income does not include: • the rental value of a home furnished as part of compensation; or • the rental allowance paid as part of compensation, to the extent used to rent or provide a home and to the extent such allowance does not exceed the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities.” i. A “minister of the gospel” is defined as any duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed minister of the Church, who is performing substantially all of the religious duties of his/her church or denomination. The “fair rental value” is the annual amount for which a similar furnished home in a similar neighborhood could be rented, including utilities. This can be determined by formal or informal appraisal by a realtor, or by comparing actual rents advertised for similar homes in the community.

Below are some further guidelines regarding a Housing Exclusion: a. The housing exclusion must be put in place by official church action before payment is made to the pastor. b. The housing exclusion recognized for tax purposes is limited to the lesser of : • • •

The amount declared by the church. The actual amount spent to provide housing. The fair rental value, as described above.

c. The housing exclusion may be paid in the same check as the pastor’s salary as long as it is identified on the stub accordingly. It may also be paid separately. d. Housing exclusion is not reported as part of gross income on the W-2. e. It is the pastor’s responsibility to account for the actual amount spent on housing expenses to the IRS (not the church) if requested. f. If the total expenses are less than the allowance paid, the pastor must declare the excess as an addition to gross income. g. If the total expenses are more than the pre-defined exclusion, they do not qualify for the exclusion. h. The housing exclusion may be used by the pastor to pay for most non-personal type expenses incurred in providing or running a home (see list below). 4.

The following items are examples of expenses paid by the pastor that may qualify as Housing Exclusion items, as applicable, and keeping in mind the limits above: a. Housing Expenses such as: down payment on a home, mortgage payments, home equity loan payments (if they are for home related expenses), real estate taxes, property/renters insurance, utilities b.

To implement an ARP, there needs to be a written policy or resolution established annually in advance of payment and approved at Church/Charge Conference. Payment of funds may be done:

47 48 49 50

C. Qualified Expenses

A. Policies and Budgeted Amounts 1. 2. 3. 4.

All pastors appointed within the Upper New York Annual Conference are entitled to an Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) for professional expenses incurred while performing pastoral duties. A minimum annual Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) budget for a full time pastor shall be $3,500 for a single church appointment and $4,500 for a multi-church appointment. Pastoral appointments of ¾ time, ½ time or ¼ time shall budget and pay an ARP proportionally to this standard for full-time appointments. Congregation are encouraged to budget ARP above the required minimum in consideration of locationspecific mileage needs and other factors.

B. Accountable Reimbursement Plan Procedures An Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) arrangement is established to reimburse business expenses and should satisfy three conditions: 1. 2. 3.

The expense must have a connection to services performed for the church or other connected entity. There must be an adequate accounting of the expense within a reasonable period of time; i.e., date, place, amount/mileage, business purpose provided at least quarterly. Any excess reimbursements or advances to the pastor must be returned to the church within a reasonable period of time; i.e., 120 days, and within 30 days for end of the year expenses.

Reimbursements are not considered to be income for the pastor, but professional costs as an expense of the Church. Therefore, ARP reimbursement is not included in income reporting to the IRS. The amount budgeted is reported to the Conference as a component of the compensation package but is not considered part of salary. A pastor’s salary may not be reduced to fund the Accountable Reimbursement Plan.

• • •

as a reimbursement of qualified expense, as payment direct to vendor, or as an advance with subsequent documentation of expenses; or any combination of these methods.

Pastors shall submit a voucher for reimbursement of professional expenses, providing receipts for expenditures and an accounting of mileage where applicable. The specific nature or names related to pastoral visitations shall not be disclosed. The church, in consultation with the pastor, may wish to designate certain items which it elects to have covered by this policy, such as travel, continuing education, books, subscriptions, work supplies, vestments, etc. There may be a cap or dollar amount on the total reimbursable business expenses that will be paid, for example: "The reimbursement amount shall be no more than _ ." The church may also want to require preapprovals by the treasurer or SPR/PPR chair of business expenses in excess of $ 500 (or any other amount deemed appropriate). The church may want to set a dollar amount for which receipts must be submitted such as purchases over $25.00. These additional requirements should be included in the policy.

Pursuant to information provided by the General Council on Finance and Administration, an example of items that are reimbursable under an Accountable Reimbursement Plan includes:

Supplies for the church office A computer required for church work Vestments worn for worship Church-related books and periodicals Office furnishings and equipment Continuing education and seminars

D. Sample Accountable Reimbursement Policy This is a sample of an accountable reimbursement policy. The specifics of each policy should be reviewed by each church and minister considering their specific concerns. If legal or tax advice is required, the services of a competent professional advisor should be sought. The following resolution is hereby adopted by the church council of XXXXXXXXX Church. It will be effective for the calendar year and all future years unless specifically revoked or superseded. The church pastor (or other employee(s)) will be reimbursed for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of his or her responsibilities when he/she substantiates the amount, business purpose, date, and place of the expense. Confidentiality shall be maintained in the substantiation of pastoral visits and/or counseling. This substantiation must be provided to the chair of the pastor parish relations committee (or church treasurer) within ninety (90) days of incurring the expense. The individual must return to the church any amounts received in excess of the substantiated expenses within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt. The church will not report any properly substantiated reimbursement payments as income on any Form W-2. ________________________________ Chair, Church Council

Lay Employees

The Book of Discipline, ¶258.2g(12) states that the PPRC shall recommend 100% vested pension benefits of at least 3% of compensation for lay employees who work at least 1040 hours per year. The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) is available to local churches for this purpose, or they may utilize other options. B. Death and Disability The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides death, long-term disability and other survivor benefits to eligible clergy. All full time clergy and elders or provisional members serving 75% appointed to a United Methodist Church are enrolled. Elders, Provisional Members, and Associate Members who serve less than 75% are eligible under the optional category. A clergyperson’s District Superintendent must be notified when applying for long term disability benefits and/or seeking Medical Leave status. Until and unless Medical Leave status is granted, the church to which the clergyperson is appointed remains responsible for salary and benefit costs for the pastor. 1.

Short Term Disability The Conference carries short term disability and workers compensation coverage on all clergy appointed to local churches as well as lay employees of the church through the multi-peril insurance program. Premiums for this benefit are included in the church insurance invoice. While on short term disability, the church remains responsible for all salary and benefit costs associated with the pastor.

C. Health Insurance 1.

Active Clergy All full time clergy appointed to a local church or as Conference staff are entitled to health insurance and eligible to enroll in the Conference-sponsored health insurance plan. Regardless of enrollment, all charges that have a full time pastor will be billed the blended rate premium. This premium may be split between churches served by the full time pastor. Clergy enrolled and receiving a benefit will pay a Pastor’s Personal Contribution. The amount is set annually by the Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits. Churches with clergy serving less than full time should include in their salary support packages a “health insurance allowance” in an amount that relates to the blended rate to enable the clergyperson to obtain health insurance or fund a Health Savings Account.

Lay Employees Full time lay employees are also eligible to enroll in the health insurance program. The premium billed is based on coverage level; i.e., single, two person or family. The benefits are the same as for a clergyperson.

Retired Clergy and Surviving Spouses The Upper New York Conference continues to support part of the cost of providing health insurance to retired clergy through the use of reserve funds and participant contributions. The remaining financial

VI. Other Considerations (Conf. Bd. Of Pension & Health Benefits) Pastors are strongly encouraged to participate in the Social Security system. The General and Conference Boards of Pension & Health Benefits have structured retirement, disability, and health benefit programs around the Social Security system. No grants will be provided by the conference to persons who have opted out of Social Security for the purpose of supplementing income or health benefits. VII. Pulpit Supply (Comm. On Equitable Compensation) The honorarium for pastor supply shall be $90 for one service and $75 for each additional service, plus mileage reimbursement at the current IRS rate. VIII. Clergy Moving Policy (UNY Cabinet) INTRODUCTION The Conference Moving Coordinator and District Moving Coordinators will be responsible for scheduling moves and securing professional movers to relocate pastors when an appointment change is made for full-time appointments, less than full time appointments where the pastor will live in a parsonage, or pastors retiring from a local church. These Moving Coordinators will function under the guidance of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. “Self-Moves" are not encouraged. However, in special circumstances, after consultation with the Pastor, S/PPRC, and District Superintendent(s), the pastor may elect to move via truck rental. In the case of a self-move, a waiver of liability (on a prescribed form provided by the Conference Moving Coordinator) must be obtained by the pastor, and all persons assisting with the move. Self-Move arrangements must be coordinated through the appropriate Moving Coordinator. FINANCING THE MOVE With the exception of retirement moves, covered later in this document, funding for this program will be accomplished through a cost-sharing arrangement between the Conference and the local church/charge receiving a new appointment. This arrangement will cap the total moving expenses incurred by a receiving local church/charge at $2,250. It will also allow this expense to be spread out over the course of five years through a conference-managed accrual system. Further, because the total number of contributing local churches/charges in a given year is greater than the number of local churches/charges receiving a new appointment, the program is intended to be self-sustaining (see Table #1). Table 1 A. Ave. cost of Move B. # of Moves/year C. Total Cost to UNY/year D. Total # UNY Churches Contributing/year E. Total UNY Church Contributions/year F. (i.e.,>500 churches x $450/year)

Program specifics: H.

1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) G.

$4,500 ~50 $225,000 500+ $225,000

Every year for five (5) consecutive years each local church/charge will remit $450 to the Conference Treasurer to be held in escrow in a moving account to cover the local church/charge’s portion of the moving expense. This process will restart after a new appointment. Once a local church/charge has accrued a total of $2250 in this account, its moving account will be considered paid in full. When a new appointment is made, the incoming pastor’s moving expenses will be covered by the funds in the receiving local church/charge moving account along with any needed additional funds supplied by the Conference. In the event a local church/charge experiences a change of appointment prior to having accrued $2,250 in its Conference-held moving account, the move will still be funded under this program.

In this case the amount accrued in the receiving local church/charge moving account will be expended and the receiving local church/charge will then be expected to remit $450/year beginning in the calendar year following the move, until the $2,250 moving account total has been reached. For a professional move within the Conference boundaries, the Mover engaged by the Conference will submit an invoice directly to the Conference Treasurer. The Conference Treasurer will pay the Mover's total fee. If any additional or special charges are involved, the Conference Treasurer will request payment from the pastor to the Conference. For a self-move, the pastor must pay the bill up-front and then submit receipts to the Moving Coordinator for approval and reimbursement. NOTE: Federal law requires that all moving expenses for moves of less than 50 miles paid by the Conference for or to a pastor are considered compensation. The amount paid will be reported to the pastor and the Internal Revenue Service at the end of the tax year in which the payment is made. PASTORAL MOVES A. Clergy Moves: The Conference will pay the full cost of a pastor's move up to 16,000 pounds. The pastor(s) will be responsible for the cost of moving weight that exceeds those limits. The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. The pastor is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e., mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.). B.

Clergy Couples: The Conference will pay the full cost up to 20,000 pounds and provide $350 for boxes and packing materials.

Seminarians and Local Pastors entering their first appointment: The provisions in #1 apply, even if the seminarian is moving from outside the conference.

D. Pastors moving from outside the geographical boundaries of the Conference: The Conference will pay for up to $4,500 or 16,000 pounds, whichever is less. E.

The Moving Coordinator must be notified in advance (two weeks minimum) of the need to change the scheduled moving date. If a move is cancelled in absence of a crisis, the pastor (not the church) will be responsible for the costs incurred with the moving company.

Pastors returning from Sabbatical Leave, Leave of Absence, Retirement, Extension Ministries, Medical Leave, or Honorable Location: The Cabinet will be empowered to negotiate the amount of reimbursement for the cost of the move.

G. Surviving Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $4,500 for billed expenses for moving surviving spouses and/or immediate families when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator. H. Displaced Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $3,000 for billed expenses for moving spouses and immediate families displaced due to divorce or other legal action when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator.

Moving out of the Conference: The Conference will not be responsible for the cost of moving an active pastor to an appointment or ministry outside the geographic bounds of the Conference.

RETIREMENT MOVES A. The Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits will pay for one retirement move for clergy members – full-time or part-time -- who are retiring from a local church appointment or conference staff appointment, according to the approved schedule (see below). The retirement move shall occur one year prior to retirement or up to two years after retirement. Any variation from the schedule must be recommended by the District Superintendent and approved by the Conference Board. B.

The retiree is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e., mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.).

The Mover engaged by the Conference will submit an invoice directly to the Conference Treasurer. The Conference Treasurer will pay full Mover's fee. Any amount over the grant amount or special charges, are the responsibility of the retiring pastor. The Conference Treasurer will advise the pastor of the amount of reimbursement due to the Conference.

D. For a self-move, the pastor must pay the bill up-front and then submit receipts to the Conference Treasurer for reimbursement. E.

For each year of service in The United Methodist Church, the following amounts will be paid toward the retirement move: At time of retirement: Full time Three-quarter time Half time

$90 per year of service up to $3,000 $67.50 per year of service up to $2,250 $45 per year of service up to $1,500

IX. Pastor’s Compensation Arrearage Policy (AC2015 CEC Report) A.

In the event that the local church treasurer becomes aware that the church will be unable to provide to the pastor full payment of a regularly scheduled payroll, accountable reimbursements or housing allowance installment, or to remit full payment for any items deducted or withheld from a pastor’s base compensation, the church treasurer shall immediately notify both verbally (within 24 hours) and in writing (within 3 days) the pastor, the Lay Leader, the lay member to Annual Conference and the Chairs of S/PPRC, Finance, Trustees and the Administrative/Church Council of the impending arrearage. Upon receipt of such notice, the Chair of S/PPRC and/or the pastor shall immediately (within three days) notify the District Superintendent of the impending arrearage. It is the pastor's responsibility to keep copies of all such written notifications, and to provide additional written confirmation to the District Superintendent when an arrearage has taken place. Failure to document salary-related arrearages may result in a loss of compensation.

Upon receipt of notice of a pending arrearage, the chair of S/PPRC shall immediately (within 72 hours) schedule and hold a meeting of the pastor, lay leader and chairs of finance, trustees and the administrative/church council to discuss the financial situation and seek remedies to prevent an arrearage from occurring. Such remedies might include: 1.

Drawing from invested funds

233

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II V. Policies and Resolutions

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

If, after consultation among the lay leader, pastor, and Chairs of S/PPRC, Finance, Trustees and the Administrative/Church Council, it becomes apparent that the church may be facing a long-term financial crisis, the Chair of S/PPRC shall notify in writing the pastor and District Superintendent that: 1. 2.

An Equitable Compensation Subsidy Grant may be necessary to maintain compensation for the remainder of the conference year and/or, A change in pastoral compensation or appointment may be necessary.

If the local church becomes delinquent in the pastor’s compensation (i.e., more than 30 days delinquent), then the District Superintendent shall notify the Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC), which on its own initiative may do any or all of the following, but not limited to: 1. 2.

An emergency appeal for special giving from the congregation ,according to The Book of Discipline ¶624, such remedies cannot include a reduction in the pastor’s compensation until the beginning of the next Conference year.

Sending a representative from CEC to meet with the local church and Pastor to seek resolution of the issue; Developing with the local church a payment plan so that the Pastor receives full payment of compensation by the end of the conference year. The District Superintendent shall be a participant in this process.

If the local church is already receiving a subsidy grant from the CEC, the CEC may also: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Determine if all subsidy grant funds allocated to the church were used to pay the Pastor's salary. Examine the original subsidy grant application to determine if the amount requested to meet minimum compensation was reduced. Require an outside audit of all church funds in compliance with CF&A guidelines (www.gcfa.org). Notify the District Superintendent of its findings and recommendations in writing.

Paragraph 2542.1 of The Discipline makes clear that no real property on which a church building or a parsonage is located shall be mortgaged to pay for the current or budgeted expenses of a local church (including arrearages), nor shall the principal proceeds of a sale of any such property be so used. This provision shall apply alike to unincorporated and incorporated local churches.

Regardless of any assistance received from the Annual Conference, it remains the responsibility of the local church to provide minimum compensation for its appointed clergy (¶624).

It is the responsibility of the pastor to provide evidence of an arrearage by providing documentation to the District Superintendent, Commission on Equitable Compensation and any other Conference Agency. This evidence should include treasurer's reports, Charge Conference reports of adopted salary and compensation, check stubs, W-2 forms, and any other pertinent documents.

The limitations for filing a claim for funds from the Annual Conference (i.e., notification to the District Superintendent of the arrearage) for any salary arrearage is one year from the date of the initial arrearage. Once an appointment ends, the pastor no longer has claim on the local church for compensation funds (¶ 342.4).

The District Superintendent shall provide a report of the matter and actions taken which will be placed in the permanent files of the church and the pastor.

2022 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II V. Policies and Resolutions

UNYAC2022.4 – A Call to Sisters and Brothers leaving the United Methodist Church Disciplinary References - NA Book of Resolutions - NA Financial Impact - None Conference Committee/Agency affected/responsible: NA Brief Rational: WHEREAS the purpose of the General Conference of the United Methodist Church is the setting of policy for the United Methodist Church which can be reviewed and altered by the following General Conference. They convene once every quadrennium. AND WHEREAS the Jurisdictional Conference has the responsibility to elect and deploy Bishops in the United Methodist Church in addition to other committees and responsibilities. They also convene once every quadrennium. AND WHEREAS there are members of both of these bodies from the Upper New York Annual Conference who plan to exit the United Methodist Church by 1 January 2023 or soon thereafter. By virtue of their positions on General and Jurisdictional Conferences these persons are part of the decision-making process for policies and leadership of the United Methodist Church of whom they wish to disaffiliate from.

THEREFORE, let us be of one resolve to call upon all clergy and laity who have been elected to be members of the General Conference and the Jurisdictional Conference and plan to leave the United Methodist Church to become members of the GMC or other denominations to resign their positions. This is to allow those elected as alternates and plan to be members of the United Methodist Church in the years following 2022 to be part of the decision-making process. This is in no way meant to be disrespectful of the hearts and souls of those who now feel they no longer can or will support or serve the United Methodist Church. The decisions that the General and Jurisdictional Conference will be making are for a denomination they no longer wish to affiliate with.

UNYAC2022.5 – Creation of a Buffalo 10 Scholarship Book of Discipline (¶): N/A Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): N/A Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Finance Staff Financial Implications: This petition seeks no funds from the conference budget. Brief Rationale: On May 14, 2022, a mass murderer motivated by racial hatred killed ten African Americans and injured three other individuals. A group of clergy and laity from the Niagara Frontier District have gathered to discern ways to address the systemic racism that continues to impact residents of the East Side of Buffalo and elsewhere in our region. This petition represents one of several steps in a larger plan. Whereas ten individuals: Aaron Salter Jr., Celestine Chaney, Roberta A. Drury, Andre Mackniel, Katherine Massey, Margus D. Morrison, Heyward Patterson, Geraldine Talley, Ruth Whitfield, and Pearl Young were murdered in Buffalo, New York, on May 14, 2022, by a white supremacist from Conklin, NY. People from around the nation and the world have taken multiple steps to honor their lives as well as the struggles of those wounded and traumatized by the shooting. However, no ongoing memorial or action is underway in the Upper New York Annual Conference. Whereas the Jefferson Avenue Tops Supermarket is the only grocery store in the area, reflecting the legacy of residential and economic segregation by race in the city of Buffalo. This is in part why the shooter chose the location. Whereas initial high-profile efforts to address the emotional, physical, and psychological needs of residents have either ended or been greatly reduced. The lasting trauma of the event persists as well as the systemic inequalities that created a neighborhood with these distinct demographics and economic needs. Whereas a disproportionate number of children in the city of Buffalo live beneath the poverty line. All available people are needed to create and implement meaningful changes that will dismantle remaining manifestations of racial, economic, health, and educational inequality. Therefore, be it resolved the Upper New York Annual Conference establish a scholarship in the name of the Buffalo 10 for students from the 14208-zip code attending college. Be it further resolved that the scholarship funds be housed and distributed by the Upper New York Annual Conference and that the criteria for eligibility and annual selection be determined by a committee of at least three of the undersigned people and the UNY Director of Connectional Ministries. Be it further resolved that after the committee develops the criteria for eligibility and process for distribution, the committee will share these with members of the Upper New York Annual Conference through conference communication channels. In addition, the committee will report on the process and/or winners at the 2023 session of the Upper New York Annual Conference.

After retiring to Buchanan, Jeanne and Walter became active in the local church and community, teaming up to teach Sunday school for several years. They loved spending summers among friends at Silver Lake, N.Y., and getting together with their First Friday group of retired pastors and spouses. Over the last four decades, Jeanne's most rewarding position was that of Grandma Jeanne. She loved being with her three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Jeanne took many family trips with one grandchild resting on her left shoulder and another resting on the right. It's your turn to rest, Grandma Jeanne. In addition to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she is survived by her son, Bryan, and her sister, Carolyn Micklem.

Martha “Sue” M. Burdick Sue Burdick, a native of Illinois, studied at Earlham College, in Richmond, Indiana. In the Quaker school she studied with D. Elton Trueblood. Gaining an interest in global issues she enrolled for her junior year at American University in Beirut with classes at Beirut College for Women where she studied Islam under the direction of Kenneth Cragg, author of nearly thirty books dealing with Islam and the Middle East. During the more than a year study, Sue travelled extensively throughout the Middle East, had the privilege of rooming with the daughter of the chief negotiator for the Palestinians in the 1948 reparations, and was asked to consider being an anchor announcer for the Voice of America radio station in Beirut. Believing that she could better serve if she had a degree in radio, she entered Boston University College of Communications, School of Radio, Film and Television. She also pursued a degree in education. Sue taught in the Uxbridge, Massachusetts School District. She produced, directed, wrote, and was the “on camera” personnel for the Massachusetts Council of Churches Sunday morning program. “Ring Around Sunday with Miss Sue.” It was the first color TV program series for Boston’s PBS.

When not on remote locations she used film clips and interviewed grade school students from various schools for weekly discussion with issues raised in the films or at the remote sites. Following graduation from BU, Sue and her husband William Burdick joined the faculty of The Ecumenical Institute: Chicago. From their Chicago base Sue taught lay and clergy theological studies in more than a dozen states. She was on the curriculum design team for one of the first Head Start Programs in the United States, working in the area of Imaginal Education. One of the high points of this work was the affirmation of Sargent Shriver and his visit to the Fifth City Nursery School. The medical challenges of their first-born necessitated a move from Chicago. The Burdicks chose Pittsburgh. There, two highlights of Sue’s involvements stand out. First, she organized and planned curriculum for a suburban—inner city education experience. This was developed in cooperation with the Pittsburgh City Schools and involved about 300 participants. Suburban high school students became teachers of inner-city students in a program called the Urban Children’s Institute. This involved sociological changes to urban life, major urban pioneers, and Pittsburgh city knowledge. The other involvement was serving as the first executive director of the Women’s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh. Sue helped make the transition from a volunteer organization to a career and volunteer structure with numerous local efforts merging into a comprehensive county-wide center. In addition to her fund-raising responsibilities, Sue became an instructor and program developer for city, county and commonwealth police on issues of domestic violence. During this time Sue Burdick also became an active member and teacher of the Western Pennsylvania Conference (UMC) School of Missions and a participant in the Northeastern Regional Schools of Christian Mission, making presentations to numerous churches in Western Pennsylvania and New York. She served as a delegate and resource person to both the Western Pennsylvania and the Western New York Conference of the United Methodist Church. Following the Burdick’s move to NY, Sue enrolled in Colgate-Rochester Crozer Divinity School.

For more than a year after Bill’s retirement, Sue served as a private nurse for his convalescence. He had five major surgeries and more than twenty hours of operations. Again, she excelled! Many times, pointing out to visiting nurses, medical issues that needed to be addressed. Following the healing and after gaining strength, the Burdicks purchased a class A motor home and hit the road. 2Bs, as it was named, took the couple four times across the US, up through the Canadian Rockies and allowed them to spend approximately a week in each of the major cities, two to three days in many of the national parks, and to see each of the presidential libraries (with the exception of the Roosevelt Library in NY State). The first trip was the “WOW” trip because each time we would go around a bend in the road or over a hill, Sue would exclaim “Look at that!” The next trip was the “Grandeur” trip as we saw really grand sights like the Tetons and Grand Canyon among many others. We were in Key West when Sue heard on NPR about a church in the Miami area. She said that she would like to go there for Christmas. We packed and moved out. What an experience?!? We went back to Coral Gables UCC the following Sunday and have been there ever since – selling the RV and buying a small condo. Sue was given the keys, at the closing, on her birthday. We have been so blessed! Together we had sixty years, one month, and fourteen days – never enough but still so great. She gave birth to two wonderful children and was their primary care giver. Natasha Rebecca was born at the end of the Cold War – hence the first name. And Joseph Dietrich Marcellus was named after the one who led the Israelites into Egypt, after Bonhoeffer, and after a family name. Sue has delighted in their offspring, too. In order of appearance: Rachel Doris and Edward William (to Natasha and Ted Carstens); Jakob Anton and Andrew Ellis (to Laura and Joe). She took pride in both parents’ and grandchildren’s accomplishments. We can go from Eagle Scout to FDA and many wonders in between. There was never a doubt that she lived fully and joyfully. Love and care were middle names for her. She was intentional, futuristic, and comprehensive in her outlook and actions. She encouraged all to live to one’s potential and not be victimized by any circumstance. Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done! Submitted by: William Burdick

Marilyn Mae Mook Connor Marilyn Mae Mook Connor was a cradle to grave Methodist. She was born Aug. 23, 1928, to Rev. Milo and Berdena Mook. Marilyn was raised with two brothers, Reed and Vernon. She grew up in the old Erie Conference and then roamed farther from Erie when her dad enlisted as a WWII chaplain with the US Army. Upon graduation, she attended Indiana State Teacher’s College (Indiana, Pa) and met a jovial Navy veteran, Walt Connor who would fill her heart and her mailbox until their marriage on May 9, 1951. Marilyn earned her Home Economics education degree from Baldwin Wallace College. Walt had graduated as a science educator and though she followed him to Boston when he was reactivated, she was looking forward to posting the same address for years. God had other plans. With Marilyn’s help, two weeks after Walt disembarked from his icebreaker, he was in Boston University enrolled in MDiv. They loved and cared for many, but for five, “Mom” became her name; Grant, Leslie, Colleen Heather and Ratana. The family tree quilted for their 50th anniversary now boasts: 12 grandchildren and spouses, and at the time of this writing, seven great-grands. She and Walt served in the Former Erie Conference with her dad, then migrated to Western New York in the early 60s. Dad was the listener, but mom was a voracious reader and thinker, hosting everything church wise, baked the casseroles, babysat for terminally ill children, hosted an international student for a year (lifetime),

When her parents passed, she and Walt traveled through Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia on her inheritance. At 68, she flew to China with Colleen to help bring home her newest granddaughter. She never turned down the opportunity to support a mission trip for any grandchild. In her last congregation, six siblings adopted from Ethiopia, found regular pocket money by cleaning, and assisting Walt with his beloved garden (they were grandkids too). In 2015, with failing health, Walt and Marilyn moved to the Wesbury United Methodist Retirement Community in Meadville, Pa. He passed there on Nov. 2, 2015, ending a 64-year marriage but not its memories or legacies. Marilyn developed her own ministry of praying for her caregivers, doctor, administrators, and their families. She survived the Covid lockdown by reading 7 books a week and following political stories on the news. She voted and got her vaccines as soon as they were available as she had much life still to live. She left us Jan. 20, 2022, at the age of 93 with a pile of books in her room she hadn’t gotten to quite yet. Walt and Marilyn served Pennsylvania churches in Summit and Sykesville. In New York they served: Little Valley, East Aurora, Dansville, Belmont, Eden, West Seneca, and Conesus. Submitted by Colleen Zeigler, daughter

Rev. Robert Johnson The Rev. Robert "Bob" Leon Johnson Jr., 92, beloved father and university chaplain, died on Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021, at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, NC. A lifelong preacher, Bob was born in Lake Wales, FL to Robert and Loralee Johnson. He was a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina and received graduate degrees from Harvard University and Union Theological Seminary, where he was a student of Paul Tillich and Reinhold Niebuhr. Bob's theology reflected his wide range of interests and his belief that the surest way to nurture a relationship with God was to be more attentive to the world, and he found these moments in any call to be more fully present, whether it was through worship service, the outdoors, literature, cooking and eating, visiting an art museum, or traveling with his children and grandchildren.

In 2020, the UNC Wesley Campus Ministry, where Bob served for 18 years as director, established a fellowship in honor of his 90th birthday: the Rev. Robert L. Johnson Fund for a Diverse Wesley. His tenure at Wesley (1957-1975) was driven by the civil rights struggle, and during his time there, he hosted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for a lunch with local ministers, worked to integrate establishments around Chapel Hill, and followed the lead of his mentor, Rev. Charlie Jones. This led Bob to action both in and out of the pulpit, and established his deep interest in social justice, which persisted throughout his various ministries. In 1982, Bob was named the chaplain at Cornell University, where he became the director of Cornell United Religious Work. While at Cornell, he oversaw the growth of the interfaith community on campus, as well as the weekly Sunday services at Sage Chapel, where he brought a wide range of speakers and thinkers to Sage's pulpit, including John Cleese, Peter Gomes, Arianna Huffington, John Lewis, and William Buckley. During his lifelong career in campus ministry, he also served as president of the National Institute for Campus Ministries, the Association of College and University Religious Affairs, and on the editorial board of the journal Cross Currents. He is the author of the book “Counterculture and the Vision of God” (Augsburg Publishing, 1971), and a collection of sermons, “Defending the Hope Within Us” (Forest Home Chapel, 2006). He retired from Cornell in 2001 and subsequently served for over two years as the part-time pastor of the Forest Home Chapel in Ithaca, NY. In 2006, he moved to the Twin Lakes community in his adopted home of North Carolina. Bob Johnson will be remembered by his family and friends, both for his erudition and his sense of humor – he was as likely to quote Monty Python or Faulkner as he was the Gospels. Those who knew him, knew both his generosity and his notorious impatience, as well as his constant willingness to discuss politics or the weather or Carolina basketball. He will be remembered as a magnificent preacher, a kind neighbor, and a devoted father and grandfather. He was preceded in death by his former wives, Barbara Johnson and Rev. Kathleen Finney, and his sister, Betty Wildman. He is survived by his four sons and their spouses, Dr. Paul and Cheryl Johnson of Atlanta, GA; Christopher Johnson of Burlington, NC; David Johnson and Jessica Byrne of Lansing, NY; and Luke Thomas Johnson and Nicolle Desjarlais of Franklin, TN. He is also survived by his beloved nieces Cindy Dunn and Kathy Johnson, his nephew Mark Wildman, as well as his five grandchildren: Benjamin Johnson, Luke Forrester Johnson, William Johnson, Ramona Johnson, and Finn Johnson. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be directed to the North Carolina Museum of Art, which gave him so much pleasure throughout his life, or to the Rev. Robert L. Johnson Fund for a Diverse Wesley at the UNC Wesley Campus Ministry. A memorial service was held at a later date.

Now there is in store for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to her on that day. We know that her “perishable body was clothed with the imperishable and mortal with the immortal. Death has been swallowed up in victory” 1 Corinthians 15: 53- 54.

Patience had a long illustrious ministry career, spanning three decades from 1991 to 2021. After her ordination by Bishop Marcus Matthews, Patience faithfully served the United Methodist Church as an elder in full connection with love, compassion, gratitude, and a heart for local, global mission, outreach and justice. She predominantly served in cross-cultural ministry experiences. Patience was a visionary leader and a team player who did not want to be defined by the word “defeat”. Even when things were very difficult her response was always “we can do it!” Patience valued community and congregants in the churches where she served, and they enjoyed having her as their pastor. Patience was committed to ministry and service at the local church, district, conference, and global levels in the United Methodist Church.

leader and role model in the Wanyange Village, Jinja District, Uganda She did a great job mentoring and nurturing these women whenever she visited. Patience advocated and encouraged women to respond to God’s call of full-time ministry in the East Africa Episcopal Area. Her advocacy for women and children was not limited to the East Africa Episcopal Area but it spread to Africa and beyond. In 2020, she attended the meeting of African Clergy women at Africa University where she spoke fervently about empowering and supporting African women for ministry. In the United States, Patience has been outspoken on issues of gender and all other forms of discrimination. She was among the pioneer of African women to respond to the call of full-time ordained ministry with a focus on cross racial appointments. Her cheerful laughter and exuberant personality even under duress and her trust in God, made it possible for her to leave an indelible legacy that will be cherished by many for years. Patience was diagnosed with cancer, and she sought treatment from a number of hospitals in the United States. Her final treatment was provided by Roswell Park Cancer Hospital in Buffalo, NY. Through it all, Patience trusted God and prayed fervently for God to heal her from the diagnosis of cancer but she also prepared for her life after death. A host of family and friends, church members and colleagues from around the world, joined in prayer for her healing. Patience’s prayer for a miracle was answered, God in His infinite love and mercy provided the last and final miracle and called her home. The mighty Woman of Zion received her eternal rest. Well done thy good and faithful servant. To God be the Glory! Hallelujah. Amen. Patience will be particularly missed by her family. From childhood, Patience exhibited very important values of integrity, fairness and justice, openness, love and care for which she will be remembered. When our mother died, Patience was selected as the heir, a responsibility that gave her a greater opportunity to inculcate discipline among all the siblings and their children and build on the values and principles of the family. Even without children of her own, Patience was a mother to hundreds of children in Uganda especially the orphans and vulnerable children. From thousands of miles away, she showed love and care through constant prayer and garnering financial and material support for the disadvantaged children and women. Patience was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. Ephraim Mugaya Wandabula and Mrs. Joyce Brenda Wandabula and her sisters Brenda Salome Mirende and Rebecca Sanyu Keeya.

Pastor Donna LaFrancis Lavender Pastor Donna LaFrancis Lavender went home to her Lord on Wednesday, Sept. 8 at Atria Shaker, where she'd been a resident since 2019. Donna, daughter of the late Guy and Grace Woodworth LaFrancis, was born on July 24, 1931, in Burlington, Vermont, and grew up in Poultney, Vermont. She graduated from Poultney High School in 1949 and attended Green Mountain College from 1949-1950. It was there she met the great love of her life, Rev. Melvin DeWitt Lavender, who, while attending a conference at the college, heard music coming from one of the buildings. He went to investigate and found Donna playing the piano. The two were married on Aug. 23, 1950 and were blessed with 62 years together before Melvin's death in 2012. Following their wedding, the couple moved to Valley Falls, NY, where her husband was pastor at the Methodist Church. A gifted musician, Donna had trained since childhood to be a concert pianist and through the years, shared that talent as organist and choir director at many local United Methodist churches, including Shenendehowa, McKownville, Pawling Avenue, Pine Grove, and Calvary. In addition to her keyboard skills, she studied voice in college and as a young adult. During the 1960s she was a member and featured soloist with the Octavos and the Capital Hill Choral Society. She also served as camp director at Skye Farm for multiple summers. In the early 1980's, after experiencing a calling to ministry, she began summer classes at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. She completed her training in 1987 and then served for 10 years as a local pastor at St. James United Methodist Church in Cohoes, following Melvin's 11 years as pastor of the same church. Together, Donna and Mel served their Lord by sharing His message of love with the congregation and the local interfaith community. During these years she was also very involved with Christian groups beyond the local congregation, including the Walk to Emmaus and the Order of St. Luke. Her kindness and compassion were essential parts of her faith journey and her genuine interest in people compelled others to share their stories with her. In addition to ministry and music, Donna will be remembered for her other artistic pursuits, notably her writing skills and many craft projects. She also loved Scrabble, pinochle, and trivia games. Her incredibly detailed memory of long forgotten (by everyone but her) events, as well as her quick and often pointed wit remained sharp even as her health declined. She recently started a prayer group at Atria Shaker and took great comfort in sharing this source of her strength with her fellow residents. Donna is survived by four children, Carol Lavender (Ned Depew), Stephen Lavender (Elizabeth), John Lavender (Yvonne), Jonathan Lavender, six grandchildren, Jason Lavender (Mary), Thomas Moriarty (Tara), Timothy Moriarty (Kaelyn), Nathan Lavender, Eli and Jadon Lavender, five great grandchildren, Kailynn, Brecklynn, and Dominick Moriarty, Ethan and Elle Lavender, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by recently discovered half-siblings, Audrey, Richard, Harry, and Mary; as an only (adopted) child, coming to know her siblings, even late in life, gave her great joy. The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks and appreciation to everyone at Atria Shaker for providing such loving care to Donna during her time as a resident there. A memorial service in celebration of the lives of both Melvin and Donna was held on Oct. 8, 2021, at the Calvary United Methodist Church, 15 Ridge Pl, Latham.

She and her husband Glenn, who attended Yale Divinity School together, both led congregations in Central New York before they came to Buffalo. Rev.

She became a full-time associate pastor in 1978 and, while her husband was attending the University at Buffalo to become a librarian, she became the family’s breadwinner.

Active with Buffalo Area Metropolitan Ministries, Rev. Woike chaired the Food for All Steering Committee.

Always concerned about the welfare of others more than herself, Helen lived an abundant life of love. She loved Jesus, her family, her friends, and her church. She believed that “God does all things well.” Helen touched the lives of so many people. Friend or family, Helen was always ready to drop everything and give her full attention (usually with a plate of cookies in hand). On the rare occasion that Helen had some alone time, she could be found reading a book with a cup of coffee by her side. Helen Georgene Holt was born April 24, 1929, in Aberdeen, SD. Helen and her brother Warren Dean Holt were raised by their mother Bessie Langford Holt and grandparents Dennis and Hattie Langford in the small prairie town of Cresbard, SD (Helen’s father, George Russel Holt, died before Helen was born).

Helen was predeceased by her brother Warren Dean Holt and her son Charles Arthur Wolter. A memorial service was held on July 10, 2021, at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Greece, NY. Helen taught us that some of life’s best lessons can be found within the pages of books, whether it be the Bible or a work of historical fiction. One of her favorite quotes was from another prairie girl, Laura Ingalls Wilder: “There's no great loss without some small gain.” The loss we feel right now is great indeed. Yet our lives have gained an incredible richness from having known and loved Helen.
