THE<br />

UNITED METHODIST CHURCH<br />

<strong>1998</strong><br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong><br />

JOURNAL<br />

and<br />

OFFICIAL RECORD<br />

One Hundred Fifty-Fifth Session<br />

Held at<br />

IOWA STATE CENTER<br />

Ames, <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

June 5-8, <strong>1998</strong>


PURPOSE<br />

In Genesis, Chapters 1 to 5, God is revealed as Creator and<br />

Sustainer of the Universe. Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,<br />

because He has anointed me to preach the Good News to the poor. He<br />

has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight<br />

to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the<br />

acceptable year of the Lord." Paul said, "You are the Body of Christ."<br />

These Biblical directives mandate a concern for the physical,<br />

spiritual, and mental wholeness of each person and all people and the<br />

environment in which they live. Humankind as co-creator has been given<br />

responsibility for the constructive use of all that is and will be. The<br />

Church is the community of all true believers under the Lordship of<br />

Christ. It is one holy, apostolic, and catholic. It is the redemptive<br />

fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by persons divinely<br />

called; and, the sacraments are duly administered according to Christ's<br />

own appointment. Under the discipline of the Holy Spirit, the Church<br />

exists to provide an avenue for worship, an evangelistic spirit for the<br />

redemption of the world, and, the edification of believers through<br />

education and a social consciousness.<br />

The United Methodist Church is to be a part of the body of Christ<br />

proclaiming God as Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer as revealed in<br />

scripture in the person of Jesus Christ extending the love, grace and<br />

power of God in the world. It requires a denominational and ecumenical<br />

strategy for action in the universe.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

The mission of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> is to develop leaders who<br />

proclaim the gospel and transform the world...so that every <strong>Iowa</strong> United<br />

Methodist congregation and faith community can fulfill its mission<br />

through its primary task of making disciples.

I. Board and Agencies<br />

A. Administrative<br />

1. Board of Trustees<br />

The Board of Trustees has continued during the past year to operate under a subcommittee<br />

structure that was developed in 1996. Under that structure the Board of Trustees is composed of three<br />

standing committees, namely, Insurance, District Parsonages and Leased Offices, and Property<br />

Management and Maintenance.<br />

The Insurance Subcommittee has been busy during the past year investigating a proposed<br />

conference-wide insurance program that would provide property, casualty and liability insurance on<br />

a conference-wide basis to both local churches and the conference. Such insurance coverage would<br />

be available to local churches on a totally voluntary basis. The committee is continuing to investigate<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

various companies and the implementation of similar programs in other conferences. The committee<br />

will compile information from local churches within our conference in order to obtain proposals from<br />

interested insurers. It is anticipated that broader coverage and higher limits will be available at lower<br />

“group prices” to local churches and our conference. The committee anticipates having a specific<br />

proposal for action at the 1999 Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

The District Parsonage and Leased Offices Subcommittee has been working on establishing a<br />

standard inventory of all district offices and parsonages so that the trustees have consistent<br />

information concerning the age, features and maintenance of the various district offices and<br />

parsonages. This committee has also been investigating the relocation of district offices out of<br />

parsonages and performing some long term planning regarding replacement of the various district<br />

parsonages. Specifically, the committee has been working this past year on establishing new district<br />

offices outside of the Mason City and Council Bluffs District parsonages and possible replacement of<br />

the Council Bluffs District parsonage.<br />

The Property Management and Maintenance Committee has been working on obtaining equipment<br />

and property inventories of the various United Methodist Camps as well as district and conference<br />

offices. It is hoped that by obtaining accurate inventories of equipment and other property we can more<br />

accurately insure our conference property as well as create efficiencies in the purchase or lease of<br />

equipment. For example, this committee is investigating a conference-wide lease or purchase of<br />

copiers for the various district offices when various copier leases expire in the near future.<br />

The trustees have also continued to deal with the sale and/or transfer of numerous closed church<br />

properties and considered and granted several Priscilla Fund requests.<br />

2. Board of Pensions<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions, Inc. ended 1997 with assets totaling<br />

$22,995,006.79 in Pension Accounts and $2,782,997.37 in the Health Insurance Reserve Fund (of<br />

which, $340,229.14 is in money market, $840,602.50 in government securities, $217,385.88 in equity<br />

securities, and $1,384,779.85 is in the form of a note from the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> to the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions, Inc.). According to the General Board of Pensions, the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> unfunded Past Service Liability for pre-1982 service years totals $21,433,810.00.<br />

A task force comprising members from the Council on Finance and Administration and the Board<br />

of Pensions negotiated the segregation of the Health Insurance Reserve Funds from the General<br />

Operating Budget of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> as per the legislation enacted by the 1997 Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>. That segregation of funds was finalized on January 1, <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

A series of workshops outlining wellness strategies and our current plan/program benefits was also<br />

begun in the past year and will continue into the fall.<br />

Several members of the Board of Pensions met with Jeanne Featherstone, an actuary from the<br />

General Board of Pensions, who helped the Board formulate an approach that would bring us closer<br />

to funding fully our Past Service Liabilities for all pre-1982 service years. Some of the legislation<br />

proposed this year represents the fruits of those efforts.<br />

The Board of Pensions seeks to be a faithful interpreter of the various plans and programs offered<br />

to qualified clergy and laity alike. In doing so, the Board also seeks to be a faithful steward over the<br />

vast resources and potential liabilities that have been entrusted to it. The Board carefully weighs its<br />

decisions in terms of potential liabilities and the probability of increased cost which must then be<br />

passed on to participants, churches and agencies.<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions seeks to serve the overall mission of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> by providing for its participants’ Pension and Health Care plans that enhance and<br />

enable the itinerant system as well as provide for lay and other non-itinerant employees.<br />

3. Commission on Equitable Compensation<br />

The 1996 Book of Discipline states under paragraphs 333.1, and 333.2 that the local church shall


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

provide clergy members of the conference who have been appointed to a local church no less than<br />

the minimum equitable compensation as set by the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Each clergy member of the<br />

annual conference has a claim and the right to receive not less than the base compensation<br />

established by the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Commission on Equitable Compensation. This is to include all<br />

full time clergy and any appointed for less than full time in 1/4 increments. The Commission on<br />

Equitable Compensation in paragraph 622.2 and 622.3 is charged with the responsbility of (1)<br />

recommending conference standards for clergy support, (2) recommending annually to the<br />

conference, for its action, a schedule of minimum base compensation for all full time clergy members<br />

or those clergy appointed less than full time to a local church subject to such rules and regulations as<br />

the conference may adopt.<br />

As a commission we take this responsibility seriously as we seek to balance the pastoral needs of<br />

the church with equitable compensation for clergy. We are in conversation with the Bishop and cabinet<br />

in our effort to be supportive of the clergy.<br />

The following churches have been approved for grants from Equitable Compensation for the period<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Richard Hamilton,<br />

Chairperson<br />

4. The Committee on Pastoral Care and Counseling<br />

th<br />

<strong>1998</strong>, marked the 25 anniversary of the opening of the Office of Pastoral Care and Counseling,<br />

which was established by action of the 1972 Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. To celebrate the anniversary, the<br />

Committee on Pastoral Care and Counseling sponsored an educational symposium in which the<br />

relationship between spirituality and pastoral care was examined.<br />

Keynote speaker for the event, which was held April 24, in Des Moines, was retired Bishop Rueben<br />

P. Job of Nashville, Tennessee. The opening address was given by Bishop Charles W. Jordan. The<br />

featured speaker for the evening banquet was retired Bishop James S. Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia,<br />

who was the episcopal leader of the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> at the time of the Office of Pastoral Care and<br />

Counseling was established.<br />

Larry W. Sonner, D. Min., who has been director of this office since its inception, was honored for<br />

his quarter-century of service, in which he has contributed greatly to the spiritual and mental well-being<br />

of the pastors, clergy families and lay employees of the conference. Under the oversight of the<br />

Committee on Pastoral Care and Counseling, Dr. Sonner spend approximately 80% of his time<br />

providing counseling for ministry professionals and their immediate families. The remaining 20% of his<br />

time is divided between providing consultation to ministers regarding their counseling, and conducting<br />

continuing education in pastoral care and couseling.<br />

The committee annually reviews the goals and objectives of the office. At present a task force has<br />

begun preliminary work for establishing a procedure to search for a new director when Dr. Sonner<br />

retires.<br />

Lynn Louk,<br />

Chairperson<br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> theme, “Whose Child is This?”<br />

The <strong>Journal</strong> Publication Committee continues to monitor costs for printing and mailing and will make<br />

adjustments in the price of the volumes as necessary. The printing contract was sent out for<br />

competitive bids in the fall of 1997, in order to assure that the costs are kept at the lowest price<br />

2. Board of Camps and Extended Ministries<br />

We have had an extraordinarily exciting year as we continue to provide quality camp and retreat<br />

events while working very intensely with the Kaleidoscope Inc. consultants on the new Master Plan<br />

for ministry through camps and retreats. We continue to experience the awesome love of God causing<br />

growth and transformation in persons lives as disciples of Christ. The learning and experience of doing<br />

the Master Plan has been and will continue to be a great asset to the ministry of camps and retreats<br />

for many years to come. We hope and pray that the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> will share our excitement<br />

for “A Vision for Changing Lives” as found in the legislative materials of this journal. We greatly<br />

appreciate the support of the IAC to make possible the learning and direction the Master Plan process<br />

has, is and will continue to provide for this vital ministry.<br />

a. Program Committee - Sharon Betsworth, Chairperson<br />

Exciting camp and retreat opportunities continue to be offered through our five camp sites and<br />

Christian Ventures (off site events). Through the variety of programming, persons of all ages, are<br />

experiencing a deeper relationship with God in Christ or coming to know Christ for the first time.<br />

The number and variety of events offered continues to grow as we seek to meet the ever<br />

st<br />

changing needs and interests of persons in the 21 Century. Some programs are specific to the site,<br />

while others are offered at more than one site. In 1997, all five camp sites and Christian Ventures<br />

offered events throughout the year.<br />

The Program Committee continues to discover effective ways to use the feedback from the<br />

camper evaluations to enhance our ministry. In <strong>1998</strong>, we will be considering ways we can standardize<br />

our age level groups at our five sites and implement program suggestions detailed in the Master Plan.<br />

b. Leadership Development Committee - Jennifer Daniel, Chairperson<br />

Leadership Development paid for 15 camp leader’s registrations to the National Camp Leader<br />

Training in February 1997. These leaders participated in a wide range of workshops from Promotion<br />

to Food Service to Faith Development. Leadership Development Committee also sponsored training<br />

events at each of the five camp sites for volunteer event directors and counselors. LDC also assisted<br />

the sites in training staff in life-guarding, programming and outdoor living skills.<br />

c. Personnel Committee - Steve Peters, Chairperson<br />

This year we hired two new camp site Executive Directors and look forward to the continued<br />

ministry and leadership that is given at Camps Pictured Rocks and Okoboji. We implemented a new<br />

59


60<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

evaluation process of our Site Executive Directors and began the process of implementing an<br />

employment manual. We continued working with the clarification of the role of volunteer boards and<br />

committees, and the role of professional staff. We look forward to the continued excellent camping<br />

ministry provided by our staff and volunteers throughout the camping ministry in <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

d. Finance Committee - Robert Dagit, Chairperson<br />

The Board of Camps and Extended Ministries has taken some definite steps to balance our<br />

budget and reduce our deficit.<br />

1) Site directors elected to not receive any salary increase for <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

2) The Senior Staff Accountant from the <strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer’s Office is now working with<br />

the BOCEM for clarification and assistance in financial accountability.<br />

3) BOCEM adopted a standardized accounting procedure for all sites. Sites now use monthly<br />

reporting forms that coincide with the conference accounting system.<br />

4) BOCEM is reviewing the positions and salaries of all personnel for equity and fairness as<br />

well as keeping costs down.<br />

The recently completed Master Plan has also helped to give guidance and insight into our<br />

financial needs and viability.<br />

e. Promotion and Marketing Committee - Bill Tomlinson, Chairperson<br />

To help churches and the campsites to promote camping and retreat opportunities, we have<br />

done the following:<br />

1) The video, “Just Go” that was in production in 1996, was completed and made available to<br />

campsites, the camp office and conference staff to use in local churches. It was well received and<br />

widely used.<br />

2) The <strong>1998</strong> Camp Catalog was produced with a full color cover and black and white pictures<br />

distributed throughout the catalog. An index by week was made and printed so that it could be used<br />

as a poster. This is proving to be very helpful.<br />

3) Our 1997 Annual <strong>Conference</strong> display introduced the site directors and their families with<br />

pictures and also introduced the new video, “Just Go”.<br />

4) A display at the 1997 Youth Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

5) Provided ideas and materials to local churches to celebrate “Camp and Grow Week.”<br />

6) Persons are available at each campsite to speak in local churches on the camping program.<br />

Please call and schedule a presentation.<br />

f. Property Committee - Al Birkinbine, Chairperson<br />

We continue to improve and maintain the quality of facilities at our five sites within the<br />

limitations of our budget.<br />

Aldersgate: Improvements to Albright Lodge: new lights, smoke alarms, sheetrock, showers<br />

and doors. Repairs on the mini-van, Wesley Cabin, and gravel for the roads add to the quality of this<br />

site.<br />

Golden Valley: The farm house was updated with new siding, and other improvemets made<br />

to windows and the cellar door. A new range was put in the kitchen. The restrooms in the lodge were<br />

remodeled. A new used van was purchased for the camp. The barn was reroofed and new carpet was<br />

installed in the director’s home. A manufactured home was given to the camp for the cost of moving<br />

and installation.<br />

Pictured Rocks: Several improvements were made to the cabins including: replacing floor tile,<br />

shingles, installing new kitchen cabinets and sinks, as well as improvements in the bathrooms. The<br />

walk-in-cooler for the kitchen was completed.<br />

Okoboji retired $12,000 of past debt and did repairs in the director’s home.<br />

Wesley Woods installed a new digital telephone system.<br />

3. Board of Church and Society<br />

The Board of Church and Society’s primary task is to call local churches, individuals, the annual<br />

conference to witness to Jesus Christ in active social justice ministries.<br />

The board consists of a representative from each district, a three person executive committee, the<br />

Legislative Advocate, a United Methodist Women’s representative, one CCOM associate director, and


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

Merlin Ackerson, jurisdictional member of the General Board of Church and Society. Three task forces<br />

and three committees are presently doing work in association with the board: Legislative Advocacy<br />

chaired by Sue Mullins, Biblical Basis for Social Justice Ministries chaired by Tom Mohan, Latin<br />

American Task Force chaired by Robert Notman-Cook, Restorative Justice Task Force chaired by<br />

BeJe Clark, Resolutions chaired by Bill Crews, and Affordable Housing and Homelessness Task<br />

Force chaired by Brian Carter. Board member Dick Clark is the <strong>Conference</strong> Peace and Justice<br />

Adovcate working with the General Board of Church and Society program.<br />

One high priority of the board is legislative advocacy. Legislative Lobbyist, Carlos Jayne, advocates<br />

the official <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> positions relative to matters before the <strong>Iowa</strong> General Assembly<br />

and the U.S. Congress; maintains a clearly identifiable and continuing presence at the State Capitol,<br />

and communicates with United Methodists concerning legislative issues including developing and<br />

working with a Legislative Network. A three year grant and conference funding for this purpose has<br />

enabled the Legislative Advocate to become a full-time position this year.<br />

The “Biblical Basis for Social Justice Ministries Project” will help <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodists articulate<br />

their biblical faith on issues of social justice and put their faith into action. The goal is to develop bidistrict<br />

leadership who will assist local churches to renew and revitalize their congregations through<br />

Bible-centered, community ministries. This project was not implemented as scheduled because of<br />

restructuring the board, but will be implemented in <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

The Latin American Task Force (LATF) grew out of the work of the long-standing Central America<br />

Task Force. The LATF will continue faith-based solidarity work for justice with a larger view. <strong>1998</strong>, will<br />

be a transitional year of visioning and action. The covenant relationship with the Iglesia Evangelica<br />

Nacional Metodista de Guatemala and the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church did not<br />

develop in any official way due to the firing of the United Methodist missionaries there. However, both<br />

the Board of Church and Society and the Board of Global Ministries continue to sponsor work trips<br />

there. Another <strong>Iowa</strong> team went to Guatemala in February <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

The Restorative Justice Advocacy work is done by a steering committee chaired by BeJe Clark and<br />

consisting of people who are active with child and family policies, the juvenile justice system, peace<br />

work, churches and others. They are working to introduce and implement restorative justice programs<br />

especially for juveniles throughout <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

The board takes leadership in developing resolutions pertaining to justice issues for the <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

This was not a resolutions year but the board was charged to review several resolutions for the <strong>1998</strong><br />

<strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

The Task Force for Homeless People works with local churches to help people become better<br />

informed and educated about the issues of homelessness. The Task Force encourages districts and<br />

local churches to undertake projects which advocate eliminating the causes of homelessness and to<br />

develop models of ministry to homeless people. The Task Force considers state and federal legislation<br />

concerning homelessness, provides incentive funds for seed money for local church homeless<br />

ministries and advocacy, provides biblical and theological foundations for this work, communicates<br />

with bi-district staff and displays successful models, and provides materials for churches to do<br />

Housing Sabbath worship services to raise awareness.<br />

During 1997, your <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries and its Standing Committees on Parish<br />

Development, Community and Institutional Ministries and Mission Education have moved through an<br />

integrated planning process beginning with a retreat in the Spring and visioning ministries for 1999 and<br />

2000, based on what we heard from the local congregations and outreach ministries in the Fall. We<br />

adopted three goals for our work: Ministries to Unchurched Children in Poverty, Shalom Zone<br />

61


62<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Initiatives, and New Congregations reflecting the economic, ethnic, and age diversity of the state.<br />

During this time a new Disaster Response Network has been created and trained under the<br />

leadership of Susan Ryon, our new coordinator. The work of our <strong>Iowa</strong>-Nigeria Partnership was<br />

reviewed and strengthened. Volunteers in Mission have continued their projects both in <strong>Iowa</strong> and in<br />

cooperation with the North Central Jurisdiction network. Our <strong>Conference</strong> Mission Secretary has led<br />

the way in preparing for the celebration of the 50th year of the Advance, and a new Rainbow Covenant<br />

book is to be produced in the Fall of <strong>1998</strong>. Much of the work of the Parish Development and<br />

Community and Institutional Ministries Committees is reflected in the programming being considered<br />

for 1999 and 2000.<br />

Both committees have also had to deal with emerging needs and shortfalls in revenues. Developing<br />

clear priorities for the future has meant making some difficult decisions on funding recommendations<br />

for the coming years. We are also working to clarify the accountability needed to assure good<br />

stewardship of our <strong>Conference</strong> missional efforts. We hope our hard work this past year reflects our<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> focus on the ministry of the local congregation. Our mission programming within the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> seeks to both base and interface with the ministries of our congregations throughout <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

Jim Pemble,<br />

Chairperson<br />

6. Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry<br />

The board supports and works cooperatively with the four United Methodist Colleges and the four<br />

Wesley Foundations to provide spiritual growth and a church connection for students away from their<br />

home environments. Support is also given to churches providing spiritual experiences for students<br />

attending community colleges.<br />

Scholarships are awarded each June to students who will be attending a United Methodist college<br />

or seminary. The board supports the colleges and foundations in their effort to reach and inform<br />

students about their respective institution and/or services.<br />

Reports from each United Methodist college can be found under the section titled Related<br />

Organizations (non-required), and reports from each Wesley Foundation can be found under the<br />

section titled Other Organizations (required).<br />

Avon Crawford,<br />

Chairperson<br />

7. Board of Laity<br />

The Board of Laity continues its programming work focused on encouragement and development<br />

of lay leadership and thus lay ministries. Laity are becoming increasingly aware of their roles in the<br />

life of the church on all levels. The term “shared ministry”/”partners in ministry” is being practiced in<br />

many of our churches across the conference; we are finding many more examples of laity and clergy<br />

working together. Every individual is endowed by our Creator with a variety of gifts and graces. It is<br />

our responsibility to recognize those gifts in each other and to see that the gifts are used in a<br />

complementary manner as laity and clergy in partnership carry on Christ’s ministry in our world.<br />

We have prayerfully followed the progress of the School for Lay Ministry. Knowing that the<br />

participants have made a commitment to prepare themselves for service to the church, we rejoiced<br />

as the graduates of the first school were recognized and received their certificates at Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> in 1997. This spring they participated in a graduate renewal event, a spiritual formation<br />

experience, “Nurturing the Faith Journey.”<br />

The second school with twenty participants has reached its halfway mark, and plans are to begin<br />

the third school in November <strong>1998</strong>. Think about this as a direction your own life might take!<br />

And for those whom the School for Lay Ministry is too demanding a commitment from the standpoint<br />

of time and/or money, the Lay Speaking Ministry program is worthy of your consideration. Don’t be<br />

intimidated by the word “Speaking,” for the program is much broader than that in scope. A variety of<br />

skills can be developed that will, if nothing else, make participants better and more effective church<br />

members. We especially encourage youth and members of ethnic diverse congregations to take<br />

advantage of this training opportunity. Under the leadership of the <strong>Conference</strong> Director of Lay<br />

Speaking Ministry, coordinating of the twelve districts’ training is taking place.<br />

Although funds are limited, continuing education for laity is one of our top priorities. It is from such


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

training and spiritual growth events that lay leadership is being developed continually across the<br />

conference. And the stronger that leadership is, the stronger the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> will be.<br />

Laity is on the move, and we are doing what we can to keep it moving. May that movement<br />

transform our world!<br />

Margaret E. Meyer,<br />

Chairperson<br />

8. Board of Ordained Ministry<br />

The Board of Ordained Ministry enlists persons for ordained ministry, mentors these persons in their<br />

educational process, examines them as to their fitness for ministry, and recommends them to the<br />

clergy session for membership in the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. The BOM also interviews and recommends<br />

persons seeking changes in their relationship to the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

This year the BOM has addressed the issue of standards for ordained ministry. We believe we need<br />

to be clearer about what we expect of clergy in the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. We intend to use these<br />

standards in evaluating persons entering the process as well as those who are already in ministry.<br />

We have a new enlistment task force that is working on ways of recruiting persons for ministry. This<br />

is an area that we all need to give more attention if we hope to have an adequate supply of ordained<br />

clergy into the next century.<br />

We now have a new mentoring program in place. It is working well at the candidacy level and we<br />

hope that it will make a real difference during the probationary period. This year for the first time we<br />

have persons who will be commissioned as probationary members in the deacon tract. We also have<br />

another first--an associate member who has become a full member under The 1996 Book of<br />

Discipline.<br />

The Division of Elders under the leadership of Rosemary Rhode-Frank and the Division of Deacons<br />

under the leadership of Mona Walker have functioned well in carrying out their respective<br />

responsibilities. The BOM has also provided financial support from the Ministerial Education funds for<br />

programs of the Order of Elders and the Order of Deacons.<br />

Dennis Tevis,<br />

Chairperson<br />

9. Commission on Archives and History<br />

We continue to meet twice a year as a commission, meeting every third time at the Archives located<br />

in Chadwick Library, <strong>Iowa</strong> Wesleyan College, Mount Pleasant, <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

Our most significant work centers around the historical records of local churches and United<br />

Methodism and its predecessor bodies in <strong>Iowa</strong>. These are located in the Archives Collection at <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Wesleyan College. Esther Wonderlich, our Archivist, continues to do a superb job with limited<br />

equipment and resources. She continues to process historical information as it becomes available and<br />

also process many requests for information. We continue to find it necessary to charge requesting<br />

individuals or groups for research time spent by her. There are still a number of churches in <strong>Iowa</strong> who<br />

have little or no information in the Archives.<br />

We continue to be involved with the Oral History project of recording conversations with past and<br />

present leaders in our churches and conference. We hope to expand this as much as we can with our<br />

limited funding.<br />

We had been working with staff members of the <strong>Conference</strong> Center and the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of<br />

Trustees to develop a significant historical display at the Center. This has now been placed on<br />

indefinite hold due to the financial situation of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

Our commission will be hosting the North Central Jurisdictional Archives and History Convocation<br />

July 5 through 8, 1999. We are in the process of developing the program for that event and plan to<br />

hold it at <strong>Iowa</strong> Wesleyan College.<br />

We provide an annual display at the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Session, with a few for sale resources, but<br />

many more available for free or for a free-will donation. Until our supply is exhausted we will continue<br />

to give copies of the book Between The Rivers by John Nye to those being ordained who have not<br />

yet received one. The Historian newsletter continues to be distributed to the members of the Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> in hopes they will find them helpful and will share them with local church historians in their<br />

churches.<br />

10. Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns<br />

The primary task of our commission is to interpret, advocate, and work for the unity of the Christian<br />

church and to encourage dialogue and cooperation with persons of other living faiths.<br />

Over 99% of the funds budgeted for our commission is used for the work of Ecumenical Ministries<br />

of <strong>Iowa</strong> (EMI). Bishop Jordan, as our judicatory leader, is a member of the EMI Board of Directors. In<br />

addition, Bill Crews represents the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on EMI’s Commission on Justice and Don<br />

Mendenhall represents us on EMI’s Commission on Unity.<br />

The second annual Bishop’s Awards for Ecumenism were presented at Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. The<br />

award for clergy was given to the Rev. Jo Hoover of Crawfordsville. Sharon Ford of West Burlington<br />

received the laity award.<br />

The commission would call to the attention of the local churches the work of Ecumenical Shared<br />

Ministry (ESM), which is coordinated by EMI. ESM is helpful to churches of different denominations<br />

who share pastoral leadership or church buildings or are considering doing so.<br />

Our commission has a display booth at Annual <strong>Conference</strong> where printed material about many<br />

different ecumenical groups is available.<br />

Shirley Rozendaal,<br />

Chairperson<br />

11. Commission on Religion and Race<br />

The essential work of the Commission on Religion and Race is to achieve inclusiveness through<br />

monitoring, advocating, linking, sensitizing conference boards, agencies, and local congregations as<br />

well as empowering ethnic minority groups. There has been an increased awareness of inclusiveness<br />

at the district and local church levels. Most of the districts have included racism workshops as part<br />

of their district leadership training events. Some districts have already created a task force on racism<br />

and started conducting racism workshops in the local churches. Other districts are in the process of<br />

organizing a task force on racism. In this way, the commission is able to make its presence and<br />

mission known among the local churches.<br />

We have been receiving the monitoring check list from the conference boards and agencies. It is<br />

overwhelming to see how the conference agencies and boards are taking steps to be inclusive in their<br />

ministries. We have recently received a video entitled “Diversity Is...: A Theological Perspective,”<br />

produced by the General Commission on Religion and Race. In this video, people from various racial<br />

backgrouds including children articulate what it means to be a christian in the world of diversity. Efforts<br />

are being made to show this video at the district meetings and local churches and during the annual<br />

conference in June <strong>1998</strong>. The commission is administering empowerment fund, ethnic minority<br />

fellowship groups’ fund, and ethnic minority crisis fund. The requests for these funds have been<br />

growing in the past three years as the ethnic population in <strong>Iowa</strong> is increasing.<br />

The commission is working with the Board of Ordained Ministry to discuss the process of<br />

recruitment and itinerancy of ethnic minority clergy. The commission would be setting up a listening<br />

team to the concerns of ethnic minority clergy and make appropriate recommendations to the cabinet.<br />

The commission and ethnic minority clergy and lay persons met in joint session with the Bishop and<br />

the cabinet to express joys and concerns and learn ways to strengthen our ministry. The General<br />

Commission conducted an on-site review of our conference on inclusiveness on March 27-28, <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

The commission will attempt to implement the recommendations made by the Review Team of the<br />

General Commission. “United we stand, divided we fall.”<br />

J. Samuel Subramanian,<br />

Chairperson<br />

12. Commission on the Status and Role of Women (COSROW)<br />

1997, got off to a slow start for <strong>Iowa</strong> COSROW. Bad weather resulted in the cancellation of several<br />

of our early meetings. In September, however, we met together and began making plans for the<br />

future. COSROW is not a programming body, but a monitoring and advocacy body. Thus, we do not<br />

do much in the way of actual programs. Rather, we focus on: 1) providing resources for, by, and<br />

about women and their roles in the Church and the wider society and 2) monitoring the involvement


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

of women in the United Methodist Church at all levels.<br />

In 1997, we began work on creating a packet of information about Domestic Violence, as well as<br />

a new edition of “Faithful Praise,” a book of inclusive-language worship helps. We are continuing to<br />

compile a bibliography of books about the status and role of women. It is our hope to have the<br />

Domestic Violence packet and the Bibliography ready for the <strong>1998</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

In our monitoring capacity, we continue to study clergy women’s salaries and why so many clergy<br />

women are leaving parish ministry. We also continue to monitor the boards and agencies and other<br />

arms of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> regarding the full inclusion of women and women’s concerns.<br />

This is handled primarily by having individual liaisons to the various boards and agencies.<br />

Lorinda H. M. Hoover,<br />

Co-Chair<br />

13. Commission on Ministry with Persons with Disabilities<br />

Emphasizing that persons with disabilities bring unique and varied gifts and graces to the church,<br />

we seek wholeness in Christ’s church through promoting the full inclusion and participation of ALL<br />

persons. We strive to set all persons free from barriers, physical, mental, spiritual, and psychological,<br />

which limit the full and meaningful understanding and expression of faith. During this past year, we<br />

have again promoted Disabilities Awareness Sunday by providing sample “Service of Celebration”<br />

information to each local church in our <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. At Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, we had a booth<br />

featuring accessibility (and inaccessibility) to restrooms in churches.<br />

We recommended persons with disabilities to participate in worship at Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. For the<br />

past several years, our commission has been working on building liaisons with other groups and<br />

agencies connected with our work. We are now working with the Parish Development section of the<br />

Board of Global Missions on Accessibility Grants to local churches. In addition, a relationship with the<br />

Board of Camps is now in place and we will be conducting an accessibility audit at each camp as well<br />

as offering assistance in programming for campers with disabilities.<br />

We plan on promoting to local churches and to the districts the workshop that we have developed<br />

to set up a program to minister to these special people. We will be networking with private and church<br />

affiliated agencies outside the <strong>Conference</strong> to keep ourselves abreast of new information. It is also our<br />

plan to discover ways that we can better identify those in the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> that we serve so that<br />

we can individualize ways to meet their respective needs.<br />

Pat Moreland,<br />

Chairperson<br />

14. <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Ministries<br />

Attendance and participation in council meetings were strong through 1997. Meetings were<br />

structured to maximize input from district leaders, dispersed staff, committee chairs, district<br />

superintendents and others seeking a forum to voice programmatic ideas and concerns.<br />

A conscious effort was maintained to listen carefully to the voices of local congregations who<br />

shared what program resources they need from the annual conference.<br />

Don Mendenhall, Council Director, continued to provide excellent leadership to the council and to<br />

our fine dispersed program staff.<br />

Reports from the dispersed program staff were encouraging. Congregations throughout the<br />

conference were finding, in and through them, significant new “human resources” for visioning, and<br />

consultation in program planning.<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Ministries struggled with diminished apportionment resources. Budgets<br />

were cut. Priorities were refocused. Dreams were revisited. It was a challenging year. Some of our<br />

continuing challenges in <strong>1998</strong> are: improving resources for local congregations, leadership<br />

development, continued sharing of the exciting stories of creative ideas for ministry, and careful<br />

utilization of our financial resources.<br />

a. Planning and Research Committee - Ron Unser, Chairperson<br />

Our Committee became interested in the issue of sabbaticals. In our discussions, along with a<br />

conversation with Bishop Jordan, we began to see that the whole church is not well equipped to deal<br />

with pastors taking sabbaticals. Bishop Jordan suggested we explore a Renewal Leave for pastors<br />

as an alternative. There are no Discipline guidelines for renewal leaves for pastors, but bishops are<br />

65


66<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

required to take them. The short term nature of renewal leaves has more appeal than sabbaticals or<br />

leaves of absence.<br />

From there we wondered if a Renewal Leave might save some pastors from retiring early. While<br />

this was going on, a task force to study this issue emerged. We offered to help them. We were also<br />

concerned that women pastors might leave the ministry early for reasons other than male pastors<br />

All of this led to discovering that there is no exit interview when a pastor leaves the conference,<br />

or the ministry, or retires. We ran this by Dennis Tevis, Chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry, and<br />

he thought it would be valuable. Encouraged by Bishop Jordan and Larry Sonner of the Office of<br />

Pastoral Counseling, we framed a process, a written questionnaire, and a personal interview guideline.<br />

This was reviewed by the Joint Task Force and their suggestions were incorporated. We still thought<br />

this would be a way to get to the question as to whether a renewal leave would save some pastors<br />

from early retirement or from just leaving the ministry, which was our original concern. Larry Sonner,<br />

of the Office of Pastoral Counseling has agreed to process the exiting intereview. This is a good test<br />

year as many are retiring.<br />

As we considered these concerns a second area of interest opened to us. We came up against<br />

the issue of how we as a committee access the <strong>Conference</strong> data base? We have found numerous<br />

times when we needed to do cross-indexing of the journal information. We are given to understand<br />

this will be easier in the future. It will be very valuable to our committee.<br />

Our third major concern has been to monitor the churches which are involved with the ReVision<br />

program. We have set-up review forms and note what progress is being made.<br />

We had been interested in which pastors and which churches don’t pay apportionments in full,<br />

but in talking with Gene Crossett, of ChurchGraf Research, Inc., he seems to have a handle on that.<br />

But, it is my impression from the CCOM Retreat that more needs to be done in the area of reducing<br />

the causes of under-paying apportionments. We will continue to look after this issue.<br />

As I leave the committee, I wish to thank them for their dedication.<br />

David Stout,<br />

Chairperson<br />

15. <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Youth Ministry (CCYM)<br />

It is the desire of the <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Youth Ministry (CCYM) that youth and young adults<br />

become clearer of their faith as early as possible. The heart of thriving discipleship is relationships that<br />

are Christ-centered. Communication is essential for such relationships. CCYM resources, models, and<br />

programs offered to local church youth leaders, adult workers with youth, and ministry professionals<br />

help persons engage each other in life-changing, spiritual growth.<br />

Nearly 300 United Methodist youth, adult workers with youth, and ministry professionals participated<br />

in Youth Annual <strong>Conference</strong> (YAC) held March 13-15 at Simpson College, Indianola. This year was<br />

a “teaching year” and the theme was “Sacred Worth.” Participants were encouraged to claim their own<br />

sacred worth as persons created by God. The theme offered those in attendance a change to reflect<br />

on relationships between God, other persons, and self. YAC delegates took part in workshops and<br />

forums, small “Mutuality Accountability Discipleship” groups, creative scripture study, Christian<br />

fellowship and fun! The business of YAC included a two-hour hearing on “Children and Poverty” with<br />

Bishop Jordan, the consideration of resolutions, district caucuses, and the election of persons to serve<br />

in a variety of leadership positions.<br />

In <strong>1998</strong>, CCYM received a “Shared Mission Focus on Young People” (General Council on<br />

Ministries) conference grant. Funds totaling $27,000 over a three-year period (<strong>1998</strong>-2001) will help<br />

support an initiative that meets youth and young adults on the World Wide Web. A partime young adult<br />

“webmaster” will be contracted to chair a new Web-Site Task Force and guide this innovative program.<br />

This cyberspace proposal claims the value of the World Wide Web as a justifiable tool for ministry with<br />

youth and young adults. It offers that potential for building Christ-centered relationships, accessing<br />

resources that support disciple-making, assessing the personal outcome of ministry models and<br />

programs, and witnessing to God’s presence in these days.<br />

CCYM continues to strengthen local church ministries with youth, promote mission giving (Youth<br />

Service Fund), provide leadership training, and advocate for adolescent leadership.<br />

1. Churches United of the Quad City Area<br />

Churches United Food Pantry Network: Churches United staff coordinated the work of 18<br />

strategically-located food pantries which in 1997, distributed emergency food to 39, 256 people from<br />

12, 409 families. The cash value of donated food was $147,252. Cash donations for food totalled<br />

$89,013. Most of this was used to purchase food supplies at the River Bend Food Bank at a cost of<br />

$.14 per pound, so that each dollar donated buys $7 worth of food to give to the hungry. The total<br />

dollar value of the food given in 1997, was about $770,343, or some $62 per family assisted. Our office<br />

refers hungry clients to the proper pantry, maintains a special bank account for pantries to access to<br />

buy food, collects and compiles records, and provides periodic in-service training and support for<br />

volunteer coordinators.<br />

Churches United Meal Sites: Hot meals are served to homeless and other hungry people Monday<br />

through Saturday evenings throughout the year at the Davenport Salvation Army Family Service<br />

Center, and on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings at the Oak Grove Community Center in<br />

East Moline. Over 35,000 meals were prepared and served by more than 80 area congregations in<br />

1997. Churches United Staff recruits, orientates and coordinates the serving congregations, pays for<br />

all supplies, and manages relationships among serving churches, site host staff, and consumers.<br />

Jail Ministry: Churches United staff recruits, trains, supervises and coordinates over 40 volunteer<br />

chaplains, lay and clergy, at the Rock Island (Illinois) and Scott (<strong>Iowa</strong>) County jails. Volunteers<br />

minister through active listening, Christian caring, Bible study and worship leadership. We provide<br />

liaison between jail administrators and congregations and volunteers, as well as Bibles and other<br />

printed materials.<br />

Goals for <strong>1998</strong>: (1) Continue to work closely with the human service community to respond<br />

compassionately and effectively to “welfare reform” to provide food pantry service to all eligible hungry<br />

while reducing already minimal abuse; (2) Explore computerizing each food pantry, and linking them<br />

with our office, with each other, and with other human service agencies; (3) Enlist additional<br />

congregations to expand service at the East Moline site; (4) Recruit and train additional jail chaplains,<br />

especially from the Hispanic and Asian communities.<br />

1. Hawthorn Hill<br />

The mission of Hawthorn Hill Ministries is to serve community needs through hospitality and<br />

support. The three programs of Hawthorn Hill Ministries reflect our commitment to service, especially<br />

on behalf of women and children.<br />

C The mission of the English as a Second Language/Refugee Outreach program is to empower<br />

refugees and immigrants to reach their highest potentials. We offer classroom instruction in English<br />

as well as tutoring, citizenship classes, and community outreach. Classes, office and resource<br />

room are located at First United Methodist Church, 1001 Pleasant Street in Des Moines. Our van<br />

picks up students who need transportation to and from classes and we provide child care during<br />

class sessions for pre-school children. In October of 1997, we began a new project designed<br />

specifically to help Sudanese women find employment.<br />

C The mission of the New Directions Shelter program is to provide free, temporary emergency shelter<br />

for homeless women with children. The Shelter is now located at 3001 Grand Avenue in Des<br />

Moines in a remodeled home which has room for eight families at a time. We offer private<br />

bedrooms, food, laundry, phones, clothing, access to community services, case management,<br />

advocacy, referral, help with job and housing search, and information about living skills.<br />

C The mission of the Friends of Prisoners at Mitchellville program is to bring together individuals and<br />

groups concerned about women incarcerated at the <strong>Iowa</strong> Correctional Institution for Women and<br />

to act on their behalf. We sponsor an annual event on Mothers’ Day weekend, “Mothers in Prison --<br />

Children in Crisis,” to call attention to the plight of children whose mothers are in prison. We<br />

advocate for humanitarian conditions at the prison, and for community-based corrections for women<br />

convicted of non-violent crimes.<br />

The community outreach of Hawthorn Hill Ministries relies on the generosity of churches and<br />

individuals across the <strong>Conference</strong> who support us through cash gifts, in-kind donations, and faithful<br />

volunteer service. On behalf of the persons we serve in the name of Christ, thank for you being our<br />

partners in ministry.<br />

2. <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Foundation<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Foundation’s focus is totally on service to <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist<br />

individuals, churches, the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and related agencies. Services are concentrated in the<br />

two basic areas of fund development and investment management.<br />

Fund development services include: working with individuals in planning charitable gifts; assisting<br />

local churches with planned giving programs and special campaigns; and, providing fund raising<br />

services for the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and related agencies. In 1997, the following received on-site fund<br />

development services from the Foundation: 59 churches, 3 districts, and one affiliated organization.


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

Also, individual United Methodists made gifts totaling $800,000 using the Foundation’s services.<br />

Investment management services include: providing investment options within the Social Principles<br />

of the United Methodist Church for local churches, the conference and related agencies; and, investing<br />

and managing charitable trusts and endowments from United Methodist individuals.<br />

endowments for a total of $46,900 in 1997, and 44 scholarships from the <strong>Iowa</strong> College Scholarship<br />

Campaign Endowments for a total of $44,000.<br />

The volunteers and staff of the Foundation continue to be grateful for being able to serve <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

United Methodism in the areas of asset stewardship. The Foundation is very thankful for the support<br />

3. Wesley Foundations<br />

a. Drake University, Des Moines - Rev. Jim Nelson, Director - This has been a year of growth and<br />

renewed interest at Wesley. It is always a task to “refit” a body that loses a fourth of its membership<br />

each year. But with the present student leadership the work has been fun and rewarding.<br />

This year saw Wesley develop a mission statement, which has become its own model for other<br />

campus groups. We continued our Wednesday night (9 p.m.) Bible Study, working through the<br />

Parables of Jesus, Isaiah, Genesis and the Book of Revelation. We have continued the Sunday Night<br />

Suppers, a program that is as old as Wesley itself.<br />

Wesley began to sponsor the Reachout Peer Listener program when Drake Campus Ministries<br />

abandoned it five or six years ago. It has become a vital and important asset for students who can get<br />

help by calling the crisis line operated by the group every night.<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

This year saw the formation of a singing group, CrossFire, which has made appearances on<br />

campus, and several other places about the community. We are in the process of developing two<br />

Covenant Discipleship groups out of a larger group that has been meeting weekly for breakfast.<br />

Students are excited to be able to focus on their spiritual life in this way.<br />

We have also begun discussions about two other projects: A campus chapter of Kappa Phi, a<br />

women’s religious club; and bi-weekly service and fellowship opportunities. We are focusing on a<br />

retreat for the spring semester to energize our program for the fall.<br />

To the <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodists we give our thanks for your wonderful support, and constant interest.<br />

Our ministry is richer by far because of what you do. May God bless you.<br />

b. The Wesley Foundation at <strong>Iowa</strong> State University, Ames; Rev. W Scott Grotewold, Director; Rev.<br />

James B. Shirbroun, Associate Director and Campus Minister; Rev. Cynthia McCalmont, Associate<br />

Director<br />

Exciting changes at the ISU Wesley Foundation were restoring a full-time campus minister to the<br />

staff configuration at Wesley and Collegiate United Methodist Church, Ames, with whom we share<br />

building, staff, and program. Rev. Jim Shirbroun was hired for this position, beginning in July, 1997.<br />

Eryn O*Hare, our lay Campus Ministry Associate for 3 years, left staff to allow for the transition, but<br />

has remained in lay ministry, now employed in the Communications Office at the <strong>Conference</strong> Center.<br />

Under Jim*s guidance, the Wesley Foundation continues to provide comfort, support, and care for<br />

students in a transitional world where everything around them seems to be changing. Wesley<br />

provides an on-going community where students can find opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship,<br />

worship, service, sharing, and study. The campus ministry is a place where students can connect<br />

with others with similar interests, needs, and experiences.<br />

In November, 1997, our Board of Directors adopted as their mission statement: “Our mission is to<br />

model, implement, and affirm what it means to be the body of Christ. We will provide spiritual growth<br />

opportunities through service, sharing, worship, counseling, study, and celebration for students,<br />

faculty, and staff of <strong>Iowa</strong> State University.”<br />

An on-going challenge to campus ministry is funding. Our United Methodist colleges need our<br />

students; the land-grant universities of <strong>Iowa</strong> have many students in attendance, but the Wesley<br />

Foundations -- the United Methodist ministries to those students -- need funds to continue those<br />

ministries.<br />

We suffer a great blow from local churches who do not pay their apportionments. We are grateful<br />

to the great majority of churches who continue to pay 100% of their apportionments in spite of their<br />

own financial struggle. We are grateful to all those on our staff and elsewhere who have helped us<br />

to remain faithful to our budgets and able to maintain our level ministry without incurring any deficits,<br />

even in the face of inflation and declining receipts. Most of all, I am grateful to the faithful congregation<br />

of Collegiate United Methodist Church in Ames, who feel called to be in support of the Wesley<br />

Foundation at ISU. Our annual budget for doing campus ministry and local church ministry here is<br />

now $275,000 more than it was in 1993 -- the last year the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> increased its giving to<br />

the Wesley Foundations. This means that the Collegiate congregation has absorbed the entire<br />

increase. I am grateful to God for giving me such faithful people with whom to work.<br />

c. Univerisity of <strong>Iowa</strong>, <strong>Iowa</strong> City - David Schuldt, Director; Marsha Acord, Associate Director<br />

The Wesley Foundation at The University of <strong>Iowa</strong> continues to serve as the extension of the United<br />

Methodist Church to the university community. Our mission statement is supported by an active<br />

ministry of word, sacrament and service. This statement says:<br />

The Wesley Foundation at The University of <strong>Iowa</strong> exists to provide ministry with and to students<br />

and other members of the university community. The Foundation and its programs represent the<br />

United Methodist church within this academic setting. Serving both a place of retreat and as an<br />

involved community of Christians, the Foundation provides a broad, balanced, and flexible ministry,<br />

especially tuned to the university community, while working in harmony with local churches and<br />

other agencies.<br />

The Foundation:<br />

C nurtures and supports the spiritual, social, and individual needs and growth of students<br />

C complements the academic experience by providing opportunities to commune with peers and<br />

share in worship and Christian education<br />

C serves God and humanity by witnessing through acts of love, grace, peace, and justice<br />

The 1997-<strong>1998</strong> academic year was a time of change. Marsha Acord was appointed as Associate<br />

Director and campus minister. Nona Riedel became the administrative secretary and six new peer<br />

ministers joined the one veteran, Heidi Hollonbeck. They were Courtney Ball, Brandy Biggs, Katie<br />

Harnack, Steven Lockard, Ann Longhurst, and Brent Patterson. David Schuldt continued as Director<br />

and campus minister for the twenty-eighth year.<br />

The Wesley Foundation building underwent major renovations which will help serve the persons<br />

who come for human services, and campus ministry events. The Free Medical Clinic was remodeled<br />

using a $62,000 grant from the City of <strong>Iowa</strong> City and an elevator costing $42,000 was installed. The<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> contributed about one-third of the cost of the elevator.<br />

The students, staff and Board of Wesley Foundation thank the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> for its ongoing<br />

support. We seek to be faithful to our Lord and to the Church as we minister to and with the university<br />

community.<br />

d. University of Northern <strong>Iowa</strong>, Cedar Falls: David Glenn-Burns, Director<br />

“John Wesley was a campus minister!” So reads a pin that has been around Wesley for several<br />

years. We are proud to claim this faith heritage of the Wesleys* “Holy Club” at Oxford University.<br />

They sought to add vital, life changing piety and social concern to the educational experiences of their<br />

time. We seek to carry on that tradition as we minister in this setting.<br />

Central to our ministry is a belief that God is creative, made manifest in the beautiful love, grace and<br />

justice for all shown in the life and ministry of Jesus. Ministering from this basis becomes less a<br />

formula or program item and more of a work of art whose beauty emerges from the combination of<br />

elements such as artists, the media used, the environment, the context, etc.<br />

The beauty of this year*s ministry art shows forth in such elements as:<br />

-the expanded outreach to international students and their families through English language and<br />

culture groups, a food bank, and several cultural social events;<br />

- the Gospel Choir and outreach teams<br />

-the New Visions Summer Company outreach (expanding to two teams in ‘98)<br />

-the variety of Bible Study groups, including the Serendipity series and “Claiming the Promise”<br />

-Student representatives at several National, Jurisdictional and <strong>Conference</strong> United Methodist<br />

Student Movement events<br />

-the Faculty conversation groups around topics like Spirituality and Higher Education, Spiritual<br />

pluralism and UNI, and others and such artists as:<br />

-5 Peer Ministry Artists, Chris, Allonna, Nichole, Jenn, Jason<br />

-Ruth Yan and David Wu, International Outreach artists<br />

-Carol, the Administrative Artist<br />

-Dave, the Campus Minister<br />

We also add to the beauty of this year*s work of reaching out beyond ourselves into the community<br />

through supporting KBBG Radio and KWOF Contemporary Christian Hit radio; through our building<br />

which hosts many campus groups, AA regular meetings, local church partnerships and more. We also<br />

participate in the Ecumenical Campus Ministries Association which is working together in ministry to<br />

our campus.<br />

Finally, the beauty of this ministry is made more complete by the prayerful leadership support of our<br />

local Board of Directors, our alumni and friends, the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Higher Education and<br />

Campus Ministry and the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

Thank you for the privilege of serving you in this very exciting time and setting for ministry.<br />

E. <strong>Conference</strong> Lay Organizations<br />

1. United Methodist Women<br />

The United Methodist Women have had a very busy and exciting year as they continued to be in<br />

mission to women, children and youth. In April, we had a mission education training for two persons<br />

from each district. It was held in Des Moines and called UMW-AIM (Always in Mission). It was divided<br />

equally between education and hands-on work. The purpose was to train district people so they in turn<br />

could go back home and carry out a similar event. The districts are in the process of doing so.<br />

Our theme for the year was “Renewing the Covenant: A Journey of Hope.” Mission studies at<br />

School of Christian Mission and the Fall Education Event were “Joshua and the Land”, “Brazil”, and<br />

“Living as Christians in a Violent Society.” The events were held at Simpson College and Fort Dodge<br />

Starlite respectively. We had thirty-four campers attend the youth camp during the School of Christian<br />

Mission.<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> officers worked in teams to present “A Mission Journey: A Story of Hope: to all<br />

twelve districts for their annual meetings. This was in honor of our twenty-five years as United<br />

Methodist Women. Each year we honor the district that has gained the most new members. Dubuque<br />

District was the winner this year. One of our goals is to increase our membership by 10% each year.<br />

Another is to have a Family Education Event featuring the scriptural growth study. It is set for the end<br />

of October <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

Our <strong>Conference</strong> Annual Meeting was held at St. Paul’s Church in Cedar Rapids. We still have the<br />

distinction as a conference of being the top in mission giving. Many are helped because of <strong>Iowa</strong>’s<br />

generosity. Our purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus<br />

Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship and to expand concepts of mission through<br />

participation in the global ministries of the church. With God’s help we will continue to do so.<br />

Gwenna Appel,<br />

President<br />

2. United Methodist Men<br />

The 1996 General <strong>Conference</strong> created a new General Commission on United Methodist Men. The<br />

mission of the GCOUMM is to assist men to know Jesus Christ, to servie Him, to grow spiritually and<br />

seek daily to do His will.<br />

Goals of the new GCOUMM include developing programs for recruiting, training, supporting and<br />

implementing all men’s ministries in the United Methodist Church by:<br />

a) Increasing EMS (Every Man Shares) membership by 50% by March <strong>1998</strong>.<br />

b) Preparing and distributing a United Methodist Men training video before Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in<br />

<strong>1998</strong>.<br />

c) Recovering at least 50% of all lapsed charters by January1, 1999.<br />

d) Increasing new charters by 10% annually.<br />

e) Focusing on one national mission project each year.<br />

f) Being self-supporting by 2001.<br />

g) Enlisting a minimum of 6,002 men to be at Purdue in July 2001.<br />

h) Providing assistance to civic youth-serving agencies in every annual conference by having a<br />

major national training event for Girl Scouts and updating the civic youth-serving agencies video<br />

i) Exploring new and challenging ways to involve men in ministries by the year 2001.<br />

The 1996 Book of Discipline states, “Each church or charge shall have an organized unit of United<br />

Methodist Men chartered and annually recertified through the GCOUMM.” The recertification fee is<br />

$50.00. Each United Methodist Men member is asked to make a $25.00 contribution annually to<br />

support the district, regional and national offices.<br />

United Methodist Men support national youth programs. These programs include Boy Scouts, Girl<br />

Scouts, 4-H clubs, and Camp Fire Inc. The support is financial and in leadership roles.<br />

United Methodist Men are involved in H.P.I. (Heifer Project International), V.I.M. (Volunteers in<br />

Mission), Bowlathon, Meals for Millions (potato project), Habitat for Humanity, and many local home<br />

and church repair projects, U.M.M. also visit the elderly, give to the poor, teach Sunday School, and<br />

pray that all men find Christ and that their souls may be saved.<br />

4. Simpson College<br />

For more than a century Simpson College has represented the mission of the United Methodist<br />

Church to provide to every student the best opportunuity for affordable and equal education that takes<br />

seriously the values of society and the principles of faith. At Simpson College students are engaged<br />

in intellectual achievement grounded in spiritual traditions. Simpson is often described as a community<br />

that provides a sense of belonging and an opportunity to build strong, personal relationships with<br />

peers, faculty and staff.<br />

This past year has been a year of celebration, renovation, and records. The campus community<br />

has grown with a record enrollment, generous planned giving donations, the completion of a state-ofthe-art<br />

communication system, and the dedication of the new wing of the Amy Robertson Music<br />

Center to name a few. The Hopper Gymnasium athletic locker rooms were renovated and the funds<br />

were raised to complete the Coles gymnasium addition. The women’s softball team received a<br />

National title in Division III and the men’s football team received a National rating of third in Division<br />

III. New faculty positions were created in religion, communications, and physics.<br />

The spiritual development of every student is central to the mission of Simpson College. The<br />

Religious Life Council and Chaplain provide a diverse list of weekly religious programs: i.e. campus<br />

worship, Bible studies, support/prayer groups, local church visitation teams, and service projects. Our<br />

students’ response has been extremely rewarding; all our groups have experienced steady growth in<br />

attendance and maturity.<br />

The Office of Church Relations wants to affirm the historic expression of our tradition, our<br />

theological understanding, and our missional zeal, captured by Charles Wesley’s hymn, “Come<br />

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,”: “To join together the two so long divided, knowledge and vital piety.”<br />

We wish to join with congregations in nurturing and discipling our students for vital leadership roles<br />

58% of our student population.<br />

Rust College offers degrees in 21 curricular areas as well as preparatory programs in law and<br />

medicine. The College continues its long standing commitment of providing quality academic<br />

preparation and concern for the whole person. Rust maintains an environment conducive to support<br />

these commitments. Its curriculum is designed to prepare students from varied cultural backgrounds<br />

and different socioeconomic status for professional and graduate study, community service and<br />

employment in numerous fields.<br />

The future of Rust College continues to hold promise because of the United Methodist Church’s<br />

commitment to education and support through apportionments, the Black College Fund, individual<br />

giving and local church donations. This support is critical as it assists the College in expanding its<br />

endowed scholarship program and places Rust in a better position for attracting additional students<br />

in its Honors Program.<br />

The dedication and leadership of Trustees serving from the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> (Bishop Charles<br />

Wesley Jordan, James V. Poulsen, and Thomas Brown) are appreciated. The Rust College family<br />

values the unceasing moral, spiritual, and financial support of the United Methodist Church and<br />

expresses gratitude on behalf of our young people who continue to benefit from your investment in<br />

their future during this new era in quest of excellence.<br />

4. Friendship Haven, Fort Dodge<br />

For the past forty-eight years, Friendship Haven in Fort Dodge, and in a covenant relationship with<br />

the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, has helped meet the retirement needs of over five thousand persons.<br />

Today, led by volunteer directors, Friendship Haven and its 430 staff and 60 volunteers continue a<br />

tradition of caring. Retired persons can live independently or choose from a full list of services to<br />

maintain their lifestyle. Adult Day Services offers respite care and daily activities for persons<br />

experiencing dementia. Home Health Care and Home Companions offer nursing, therapeutic and in<br />

home care for persons recovering from an illness or accident. A 241 bed nursing facility, the Tompkins<br />

Memorial Health Center, offers a full range of nursing care and restorative services including a place<br />

where persons with chronic confusion are understood and cared for.<br />

In January of <strong>1998</strong>, Friendship Haven welcomed a new President/CEO, Craig Johnsen. The<br />

Tompkins Memorial Health Center is equipped with a new sprinkling system and new fire alarm<br />

systems were installed in the East and West Buildings along with new boilers.<br />

5. Methodist Manor, Storm Lake<br />

Methodist Manor had, what some of the staff members would call, a hectic year in 1997.<br />

We completed $220,301 in capital improvements, which included new lighting for the Chapel and<br />

a new office for the Spiritual Director.<br />

The Board of Directors approved the construction of a thirty-eight unit apartment complex for<br />

independent seniors. The new facility is adjacent to the Health Center and takes advantage of the<br />

remaining lake front footage on the campus. Thirty-one of the thirty-eight units are already rented. This<br />

indicates a real need for this type of facility since the project is not scheduled to open until mid July.<br />

Management continues to struggle with staffing issues, governmental over regulation and escalating<br />

costs. Some of these issues are being exacerated by the need to expand services to capture the<br />

managed care market. We have obtained certification for skilled nursing care and are looking into post<br />

acute care in the near future, in response to this pressure.<br />

7. Wesley Retirement Services, Inc., Des Moines<br />

Founded in 1947, Wesley Retirement Services (WRS) is headquartered in the historic Chamberlain<br />

Mansion in Des Moines. With the tradition of serving the needs of its residents, WRS has earned its<br />

reputation of excellence throughout its five continuing care communities. Wesley Acres in Des<br />

Moines, Halcyon House in Washington, Heritage House in Atlantic, The Village in Indianola, and Park<br />

Centre in Newton serve approximately 1,000 residents. Each has its own unique characteristics and<br />

amenities.<br />

All five locations offer several levels of care to facilitate the aging process. Independent living<br />

apartments or townhomes, Helpful Living, and Health Center nursing care services combine for a<br />

variety of services to meet the needs of each resident. At Wesley Acres and Park Centre, Adult Day<br />

Center programs are available to both non-residents and residents. These offer specifically designed<br />

daily activities which encourage older adults to remain active and independent.<br />

A dedicated Board works with local Advisory Councils to assure resident needs at each community<br />

are met. The Village residents are enjoying a new walking path circling the pond and gazebo.<br />

Halcyon House continues renovation of apartments and common areas allowing it to meet the<br />

expectations of residents today and in the future. Park Centre's new 27 unit apartment addition is<br />

complete. The Garden Room was added providing a wonderful conference and meeting area for<br />

resident use. Heritage House began a dramatic change this year with replacement of the current<br />

Health Center and an addition of a state-of-the-art Dementia Unit. Completion will be in the fall of '98.<br />

Wesley Acres received a new parking area which beautifully complements the historic view from<br />

Grand Avenue. The Bolton residents are enjoying remodeled garages and an enhanced workshop.<br />

8. The Western Home, Cedar Falls<br />

The Western Home is celebrating 85 years of service to seniors. The essence of Christian care<br />

shines through the yellowed pages of history with stories of benevolent support. That tradition<br />

continues and is enhanced by the hiring of a development director. The goal for <strong>1998</strong> is to devise and<br />

implement a fund development strategy employing Christian stewardship, ethics, and integrity.<br />

Over 500 people are provided a contiuum of care at nearly every stage of senior life. Assisted living<br />

and respite care at The Western Home provide personalized assistance for residents who have


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

changing health care needs and want to remain in their private rooms or for individuals who are<br />

recovering from a hospital stay or temporary illness. Residents at Martin Health Center are often<br />

dependent upon caring staff, medical intervention, social support, and responsive personal assistance-<br />

-24 hours a day, 365 days a year.<br />

Each apartment at Walnut Court Retirement Community has its own character and unique style with<br />

a bed and breakfast feel, except they provide lunch, dinner and other special services as well. The<br />

three small-concept retirement communities--Windermere, Windgrace and Willowwood--offer a<br />

gracious lifestyle with supportive services. SureCare is a professional in-home companion service.<br />

1. Bidwell Riverside Center<br />

Since its beginning in 1893, Bidwell Riverside Center has been in continual service to the Des<br />

Moines Community as a part of the missional program of The United Methodist Church. It has<br />

undergone many changes in the past 105 years, and continues to find new ways to be in service for<br />

our day. Bidwell Riverside Center is grateful for the support we receive as a program agency of the<br />

General Board of Global Ministries, as an Advance Special of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, for the<br />

generous support of the Women’s Division of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, and for the generosity and<br />

support of so many churches and individuals who believe in our ministry.<br />

In the year since the last report, many exciting things have been happening:<br />

C Our entire financial structure has been computerized, enabling us to achieve greater accuracy and<br />

knowledge of our financial status.<br />

C The evening childcare program has proven to be a success, and we now continue our 42 year<br />

tradition of providing a safe, loving, and Christian environment for children ages 2-11. We are open<br />

from 6:30 a.m. to midnight five days a week. In addition, our preschool/kindergarten readiness<br />

program continues to be successful in preparing young people for entry into the school system.<br />

C Because of a very generous gift, Bidwell Riverside has now established an endowment. We now<br />

have over $12,000 in our endowment, and plan to build on this generous beginning so that we can<br />

ensure Bidwell’s sustainability and stability far into the future.<br />

C Bidwell’s Urban Garden Project has grown into a large collaborative effort with other agencies, so<br />

that it holds the possibility of becoming the cornerstone of a much larger metro-wide Urban<br />

Gardening effort.<br />

C A close relationship has been established with the New Horizons Program of the Des Moines Public<br />

School system, so that youth who are at-risk, or from disadvantaged families can be placed at<br />

Bidwell as a work/training site.<br />

It has been yet another exciting and challenging year at Bidwell Riverside Center, and we are<br />

grateful to the people called United Methodist for their love and support in this ministry of the<br />

connectional system.<br />

An Ecumenical Shared Ministry Task Force is being appointed to do research, provide support to<br />

ESM congregations, and develop training and evaluation tools.<br />

Five local communities will be determined and grants will be awarded in <strong>1998</strong> to help build a<br />

network of community leaders and enhance existing programs addressing immigration issues.<br />

Plans continued for the <strong>1998</strong> Winter <strong>Conference</strong> for Ministry to be held in Ames. Three hundred<br />

clergy, spouses and other religious professionals are expected.<br />

1997 saw the end of EMI’s role as building owner. EMI remains in the building as a tenant.<br />

A grant was awarded to the member denominations of EMI for a three year project which will<br />

address the issues of welfare reform and how local congregations can play a role in their communities.<br />

May God bless the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> and all the member denominations of EMI as we offer a fuller<br />

witness as Christ's Church.<br />

7. Christian Educators Fellowship of <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

This year has been exciting for lay, ordained elders and deacons, certified, and consecrated<br />

persons serving in areas of Christian education. A high point was last October when Jan Richardson,<br />

author/editor of Sacred Journeys: A Women’s Book of Daily Prayer led a retreat on “The Art of Faith”.<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> CEF continues to care for its 80 members and 66 plus related persons by providing support,<br />

education, and friendships which assist with both professional and personal needs as well as<br />

opportunities for spiritual growth.<br />

The state chapter holds two retreats per year except during national convention year. These are<br />

great times for learning and leisure. The third Monday-Tuesday in October and May mark the dates.<br />

Throughout the year, Christian educators are invited to meet in cluster groups, each determining their<br />

own agendas. Member are also invited to contribute to a quarterly newsletter called MICE which is<br />

published and provides ideas, networking, and information. CEF persons meet for lunch each June<br />

during <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> CEF urges churches who employ persons in the area of Christian education, youth ministry,<br />

and programming to contact Chris Schmidt at the <strong>Conference</strong> Center so a contact can be made. A<br />

new educators’ orientation is held yearly to acquaint new persons with resources and networking.<br />

8. School for Ministry Commission<br />

According to the statement of purpose of the School for Ministry Commission, the purpose is as<br />

follows: The School for Ministry of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church is an<br />

annual education opportunity for the professional in ministry and their spouses to seek enrichment in<br />

ministry. It’s purpose is to provide intellectual stimulation, spiritual renewal and enrichment through<br />

interpersonal fellowship with the leadership of the church. This purpose shall be realized through the<br />

use of lectures and workshops by recognized educational, theological and biblical scholars as well as<br />

by Christian enablers from the secular world. The purpose of the School shall also be realized through<br />

meaningful worship services, discussion experiences and by the opportunity to renew friendships.<br />

Primary lectures for the <strong>1998</strong> School for Ministry were: Lyle Schaller, National Evangelistic<br />

Association; Marjorie Thompson, Director, Pathways Center, The Upper Room; and Michael<br />

Slaughter, Pastor of the Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church of Tipp City, Ohio. Guest preachers<br />

Swanberg, Pastor of first UMC in Marshalltown, <strong>Iowa</strong>; Rev. Richard Speight, Pastor of Christ<br />

Community Church of Marion, <strong>Iowa</strong>; and Cathy F. Townley, Worship Director of Crossroad Church<br />

of Lakeville, Minnesota. A variety of workshops was offered, addressing significant concerns for the<br />

church and for professionals in ministry.<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Secretaries Organization (UMISO) was begun in 1982, as a network of<br />

support for United Methodist Church secretaries. Since 1992, it has been a chapter affiliated with<br />

PAUMCS (Professional Association of United Methodist Church Secretaries). The group currently<br />

has 53 members although more attend some of the area meetings.<br />

Two state meetings were held in 1997. The first was held at Calvary UMC in Ames on Saturday,<br />

June 7, during Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Roland Minshall, <strong>Conference</strong> Computer Systems Manager,<br />

presented a very informative meeting on "Computer Software in the Local Church". The fall meeting<br />

was held at the United Methodist Church in Audubon on Tuesday, September 9. Russell Hinshaw,<br />

Assistant <strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer/Controller spoke about "Legal Issues in a Church Office" in the<br />

morning and Diane Brockmeyer, <strong>Conference</strong> Benefits Secretary, talked in the afternoon about<br />

"Benefits Available for Church Secretaries."<br />

Seven area meetings were held throughout the state during the year. Having area meetings allows<br />

the secretaries to get together closer to home so that more may attend.<br />

11. Shesler Hall<br />

Shesler Hall, a room and board residence for women with special needs in Sioux City, had its<br />

busiest year in 1997. We provided a home-like environment for 52 women, an increase of 10% from<br />

1996. The women, 89 to 90%, struggle with and have been diagnosed with some form of chronic<br />

mental illness like schizophrenia, border-line personality disorder, depression, or manic-depression.<br />

Some have additional physical, and health concerns. It is a joy and a challenge to do God’s mission<br />

work at Shesler Hall!<br />

Some forget that we really are “in mission” with God, the church, UMW and the people that we<br />

serve. Shesler Hall is a national mission institution, related to the General Board of Global Ministries<br />

of the United Methodist Church, our building is owned by the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> United Methodist<br />

Women and we are very fortunate to be one of their projects. We also are an <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />

Advance Special of the United Methodist Church and a General Advance Special.<br />

Besides serving 52 women this year, our other highlights in 1997, include: having Bishop Jordan<br />

tour our facility; offering more activities for the residents; providing an opportunity for the residents to<br />

volunteer at the Humane Society through our cooperative spirit program “Project TLCAH” (Tender<br />

Loving Care for Animals and Humans); and celebrating the resident’s birthdays and the holidays. We<br />

also had our First Annual Christmas-In-July Staff Appreciation supper. Without the staff at Shesler<br />

Hall, we would not be able to be do this mission work. Finally, the big fix-it projects that we<br />

accomplished were to replace our old dishwasher and our leaking old hot water heater with new.<br />

It is a challenge to serve women with special needs, but is also a joy! Especially when you see<br />

people’s lives improve... I want to leave you with a couple of quotes from our former residents. This<br />

is what they said about their stay at Shesler Hall in 1997: “It was ok for a person to stay and live. I like<br />

the friendliness of the people and spending time with them. I didn’t feel lonesome around them.” “They<br />

did believe in me.”<br />

Finally I would like to close with this quote and offer the same to each of you as you continue your<br />

support of Shesler “Thank you and God bless you all.”<br />

During 1997, <strong>Iowa</strong> MFSA held two retreats. At the winter event, "Building the Covenant<br />

Community," Susan Stater led discussion and exercises in community building and the Wesleyan<br />

heritage. Carlos Jayne presented current issues in the legislature which affect the community of God's


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

people in <strong>Iowa</strong>. In October, Mark Bowman, Executive Director of the Reconciling Congregation<br />

program, led a workshop on "Sowing Seeds and Spinning Webs of Change." During the October<br />

gathering, the chapter voted to affirm itself as a "Reconciling Chapter" in line with the national MFSA<br />

position as a Reconciling organization, seeking to open the doors of the church to all of God's children.<br />

Social Action Award recipients at the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> event were Bishop Jordan and Lana Ross<br />

of Marshalltown. The selections were based upon work and advocacy for children and represented<br />

an affirmation of the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> session's theme highlighting children and poverty.<br />

The endowment fund for speakers at the MFSA Annual <strong>Conference</strong> event grew. The chapter was<br />

represented at the MFSA National Assembly in Washington, D.C., at which the 90th anniversary of<br />

the Federation was celebrated. The chapter grew in membership during 1997.<br />

16. United Methodist Rural Fellowship<br />

The United Methodist Rural Fellowship, <strong>Iowa</strong> Chapter, is a fellowship bringing together laity and<br />

clergy who are concerned with and involved in United Methodism’s responsibility toward creating and<br />

sustaining a Christian life and culture in the rural areas of <strong>Iowa</strong>. We have two primary functions. One<br />

is to interpret and the other is to advocate.<br />

Through workshops, events and publications we interpret the Christian message as it applies to<br />

rural life. As advocates we share a vision of an intentional, viable and faithful ministry in town and rural<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> areas. We seek to put into practice ways by which this message may be more effectively<br />

implemented through the church and other agencies. Our vision of the result is that town and rural<br />

people and their communities will be the seed and demonstration plots of the New Order -- the<br />

Kingdom of God.<br />

The UMRF’s membership is open to all persons. One becomes a member of the National UMRF<br />

and the <strong>Iowa</strong> Chapter by paying the yearly dues.<br />

During the 1996-1997 conference year our focus has been on restructuring and reorganization. We<br />

are developing a new working relationship with the CCOM programs, CCOM program staff and the<br />

newly restructured Board of Global Ministries. Our <strong>1998</strong>-1999 town and rural ministry workshops and<br />

events will be cooperative efforts that may result in both combined and separate opportunities to<br />

enrich our mission and ministry.<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> accounting system is not yet on full accrual basis. Fixed assets such as the value of the<br />

land owned by the <strong>Conference</strong> for the camping program and the value of the district parsonages are<br />

not included in this report. The Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) has adopted the goal of<br />

moving us to a full accrual basis for accounting; however that task has proven more complicated than<br />

first thought. Our goal is to eventually account for all assets of the <strong>Conference</strong>, not just the cash and<br />

cash equivalents.<br />

Second, last year the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> approved a new Deficits and Reserve Fund program. The<br />

program is working and is on track to repay the health insurance reserve and to build a working cash<br />

reserve fund. According to the plan that was approved, the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Board of<br />

Pensions, Inc. and CFA entered into an agreement and on January 1, <strong>1998</strong> transferred all of the<br />

assets designated or restricted for pension programs to the Board of Pensions, Inc. Also, unrestricted<br />

net assets increased in 1997 to $271,570 compared with a decrease in 1996 of $190,180. The net<br />

result of this change allowed for an actual reduction to the unrestricted net asset deficit of<br />

approximately $75,000. Hopefully in <strong>1998</strong>, the Deficit and Reserve Fund program will continue to be<br />

on track and our deficits will reduce further.<br />

Third, the 1997 Annual <strong>Conference</strong> authorized CFA to negotiate a cash flow loan with a financial<br />

institution and a line of credit was established with Norwest Bank. Although the line of credit was<br />

available if needed, our office was able to manage the cash flow in such a way that no amount was<br />

borrowed for 1997.<br />

Fourth, cash receipts for 1997 totaled $21.5 million compared to $20.5 million in 1996. Of the total<br />

1997 receipts, 52% came from the apportionments, 26% came from direct billing for pension and<br />

health insurance, 13% came from charitable gifts like the Advance Special or grants, 4% came from<br />

registration fees, 3% came from investment earnings and 2% came from miscellaneous other sources.<br />

Fifth, cash disbursed in 1997 was $20.6 million compared to disbursements of $21.4 million for<br />

1996. Of the total 1997 disbursements, 56.6% was spent on direct programs and grants (37.7% were<br />

local church benefit programs such as pension, health insurance and worker’s compensation; 19.9%<br />

were grants to local churches, affiliated organizations and other charities), 18.4% was spent on<br />

employment related expenses with about a 50-50 split between program staff and administrative staff<br />

expenses, 9.6% was given to the General Church as apportionments that were assigned to the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, and 14.4%, was spent on other expenses. Some examples of these include clergy<br />

moving, professional fees, postage, printing, telephone, building rent, travel, etc.<br />

If you have questions after reviewing these financial statements, please contact either myself or<br />

Russell Hinshaw, Assistant Treasurer and Controller. We hope that these statements provide you with<br />

helpful information.<br />

Finally, I want to thank all of you for helping to make 1997 a good year for our Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

What we are reporting here are just numbers. It is important to remember that these numbers translate<br />

into ministries that help make disciples in <strong>Iowa</strong> and around the world.<br />

IOWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE<br />

UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - TREASURER’S FUND<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies<br />

Nature of organization<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

The Treasurer’s Fund of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church (the <strong>Conference</strong>) has been<br />

established to account for all funds received which have been apportioned to the various local United Methodist<br />

churches as mandated by the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, the Jurisdictional <strong>Conference</strong>, and the General <strong>Conference</strong><br />

of the United Methodist Church. In addition, the Treasurer’s Fund accounts for special gifts received for other<br />

benevolent programs, bequests, or other causes. Funds are disbursed in the many program areas of the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

upon receiving vouchers from the individual boards, committees, commissions, or agencies which have been<br />

authorized to act on behalf of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, the Jurisdictional <strong>Conference</strong>, or the General<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church.<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

Basis of accounting<br />

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting. That basis<br />

differs from generally accepted accounting principles primarily because the effects of apportionment receivables,<br />

certain payables and accruals, certain accrued income, property and equipment, and donated services have not<br />

been recognized in the statements of financial position and activities.<br />

In addition, the <strong>Conference</strong> has elected not to consolidate the Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong><br />

of the United Methodist Church, Incorporated or the <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Foundation.<br />

Program Year<br />

The program year is designed to enable individual churches to receive credit for apportionments not<br />

remitted until after the close of a calendar year. Year end apportionments are typically received in a one<br />

to two week period following the close of a calendar year. The 1997 program year closed on January<br />

2, <strong>1998</strong> and the 1996 program year closed on January 8, 1997.<br />

Investments<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> carries its debt and equity securities at fair value. Unrealized appreciation or<br />

depreciation are reported as increases or decreases to net assets. Fair value of investments is based on<br />

quoted market prices.<br />

Contributions<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> records donations of securities or other property at the fair value of the property at the<br />

date of the gift. Contributions that are not restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted<br />

net assets in the year in which the contributions are received. All other donor-restricted contributions are<br />

reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets depending on the nature of the<br />

restrictions. When a restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction


INFORMATION REPORTS<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows: (Continued)<br />

Contributions (Continued)<br />

ends or purpose of restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted<br />

net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.<br />

Estimates and assumptions<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with modified cash basis of accounting requires<br />

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and<br />

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of<br />

revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.<br />

Classification of Net Assets<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of<br />

net assets defined as:<br />

Unrestricted - assets that are neither permanently restricted nor temporarily restricted by<br />

donor-imposed stipulations. The <strong>Conference</strong> may designate portions of its unrestricted net<br />

assets as board-designated for various purposes.<br />

Temporarily restricted - assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets<br />

whose use by the <strong>Conference</strong> is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by<br />

passage of time or can be fulfilled by actions of the <strong>Conference</strong> meeting the purpose of the<br />

restriction.<br />

Permanently restricted - assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets<br />

whose use by the <strong>Conference</strong> is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by<br />

passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

Although such assets cannot be expended, the investment income earned on them is<br />

generally to be expended for a specific purpose.<br />

Pass Through Liabilities<br />

Pass through liabilities represent amounts received that have not been passed on to certain<br />

charities specified by the donor. The <strong>Conference</strong> remits such funds to the various charities<br />

within thirty days of each month-end. Since the <strong>Conference</strong> does not have any control over how<br />

these funds are disbursed and serves only an administrative function in collecting and disbursing<br />

the funds, these funds are not included in the <strong>Conference</strong>’s revenues and expenses.<br />

Note 2. Cash and cash equivalents<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> considers all highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial<br />

maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.<br />

Note 3. Loans Receivable<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Loans to local United Methodist congregations originate primarily through the Rotating Loan Fund or the Spirit<br />

Alive! Churches Alive! Fund. In order to encourage growth and revitalization, the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global<br />

Ministry’s Parish Development Committee extends loans to new and existing churches. The loans, which are<br />

unsecured, carry interest at a rate determined by the Board of Global Ministry and payment terms are negotiated<br />

on an individual loan basis. Generally the loans range in length from 10 to 15 years with zero percent interest<br />

rate for the first three to five years for new congregations.<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> offers loans to certain staff members for the purpose of a purchasing a principal residence. The<br />

loans cannot exceed 25 percent of the appraised value of the property and must be paid through payroll<br />

withholdings. Interest rates and terms are determined on an individual basis. Current loans outstanding are for<br />

15 or 30 years with an interest rate of 8.5 - 9.5 percent per annum.<br />

Loans receivable at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:<br />

Note 4. Notes Receivable<br />

In 1979, the Des Moines Urban Mission Council sold its parsonage located in Des Moines for $40,000, with<br />

$7,000 payable at closing and the balance in monthly installments with interest at 10% beginning February 1,<br />

1980 and continuing until paid.<br />

In 1992, the <strong>Conference</strong> purchased an episcopal residence for $182,500. This amount will be repaid to the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> through amounts received from the General Church Episcopal Fund. The note is being amortized<br />

over twenty years and bears interest at 5%.<br />

In 1994, the <strong>Conference</strong> sold its headquarters building to <strong>Iowa</strong> Health Systems for $4,000,000. The<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> received a $1,000,000 down payment and a $3,000,000 non-interest bearing promissory note<br />

receivable which has been recorded with an imputed interest rate of 8 percent. The note calls for the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

to receive annual installments of $300,000 through February 1, 2004. Unearned interest income at December<br />

31, 1997 and 1996 is approximately $413,000 and $538,000, respectively.<br />

In 1997, the <strong>Conference</strong> sold the Greenfield Plaza church building located in Des Moines to Easter Lake<br />

Estates, Inc for $145,000, with $15,000 payable at closing and the balance due in monthly installments along<br />

with interest at 8% beginning February 1, <strong>1998</strong> and continuing until December 22, 1999, at which time the<br />

remaining balance is due and payable.<br />

$ 1,422,778 $7,175,660 $7,513,671 $1,084,767<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> participates in a multi-employer pension retirement plan for eligible<br />

ministers which is administered by the General Board of Pensions of the United Methodist Church.<br />

Prior to January 1, 1982 the plan was a defined benefit plan which results in a past service liability to<br />

the <strong>Conference</strong> for service years completed before that date. As of January 1, 1982, under the<br />

Ministerial Pension Plan, annual conferences are required to fund all past service costs over a 40-year<br />

period and to fund any benefit improvements over a 30-year period. The most recent actuarial<br />

valuation was performed October 1997 using the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table Adjusted<br />

with an assumed 6% interest rate and 2% increase in the past service annuity rate. This valuation<br />

reports an unfunded past service liability of $21,433,810. To meet this obligation, the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

has deposited monies with the Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United<br />

Methodist Church, Inc. The Board of Pensions, Inc has unrestricted net assets of $22,594,273 at<br />

December 31, 1997.<br />

The Ministerial Pension Plan became a defined contribution plan for service on or after January 1,<br />

1982. Current costs are fully funded as contributions are made and vesting is full and immediate to<br />

the participants’ accounts. Annual contributions to the plan are funded through a combination of<br />

direct billing and apportionments to the various churches of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and from<br />

earnings on assets of the Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist<br />

Church, Inc. During 1997 and 1996, the <strong>Conference</strong> remitted $75,338 and $80,115, respectively, to<br />

the General Board of Pensions for clergy pension contributions.<br />

In addition, the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> maintains a defined contribution plan for eligible<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> lay employees. Current costs are fully funded as contributions are made and vesting is<br />

full and immediate to the participant’s accounts. Annual contributions to the plan are funded through<br />

direct billing to the various agencies within the <strong>Conference</strong>. During 1997 and 1996, the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

remitted $162,621 and $121,176, respectively, to the General Board of Pensions for lay pension<br />

contributions.<br />

The Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church, Inc. is<br />

responsible for the disbursement of contributions to the plan administrator. Accordingly,<br />

contributions received through direct billing and apportionments to churches and <strong>Conference</strong><br />

agencies by the Treasurer’s Fund are forwarded to the Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, Inc. Funds transferred for the 1997 and 1996 program years totaled $4,184,804 and<br />

$3,650,852, respectively.<br />

BOARD OF PENSION OF THE IOWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE<br />

OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies<br />

Nature of organization:<br />

The Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist<br />

Church (Board of Pensions, Inc.) was incorporated in September 1992 under the<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Non-Profit Corporation Act. The Board of Pensions, Inc. is accountable for<br />

all programs providing pension and relief benefits to the clergy and lay employees<br />

of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church (<strong>Conference</strong>), local<br />

United Methodist churches within the <strong>Conference</strong> and United Methodist<br />

organizations that are affiliated with the <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

The Board of Pensions primary source of funds comes from apportionments and<br />

direct billings to various United Methodist churches and organizations in the state<br />

of <strong>Iowa</strong>. These funds are collected by the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United<br />

Methodist Church - Treasurer’s Fund and remitted to the Board of Pensions<br />

throughout the year.<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

Classification of net assets:<br />

Unrestricted - assets that are neither permanently restricted nor temporarily<br />

restricted by donor-imposed stipulations. The organization’s governing board<br />

may earmark portions of its unrestricted net assets as board designated for<br />

various purposes.<br />

Temporarily restricted - assets resulting from contributions or other inflows<br />

or assets which use by the organization is limited to donor-imposed stipulations<br />

that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled by actions of the<br />

organization meeting the purpose of the restriction. The Board of Pensions<br />

has no temporarily restricted net assets.

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)<br />

A Summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

(Continued)<br />

Permanently restricted - assets resulting from contributions and other<br />

inflows of assets whose use by the organization is limited by donor-imposed<br />

stipulations that neither expire by the passage of time nor can be fulfilled or<br />

otherwise removed by actions of the organization.<br />

Cash and cash equivalents:<br />

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits in a financial institution<br />

and overnight investments in US Treasury securities under a repurchase<br />

agreement with a financial institution.<br />

Contributions received:<br />

Contributions, which are defined as unconditional transfers of cash or other<br />

assets including unconditional promises to give those items in the future, are<br />

measured at fair value on the date received and given recognition as revenue.<br />

The imposition of restrictions on how a contribution is to be used does not<br />

delay recognition. However, the recognition of conditional gifts is delayed until<br />

the conditions are met.<br />

The organization distinguishes between contributions received with permanent<br />

restrictions, temporary restrictions, and those without donor-imposed<br />

restrictions. Contributions with donor imposed restrictions are reported as<br />

unrestricted support and used to support activities of the current period. Gifts<br />

of long-lived assets received without donor-imposed restrictions are considered<br />

as unrestricted support.<br />

Split interest gifts:<br />

A split interest gift is one in which a donor makes an initial gift to a trust or<br />

directly to the organization, in which the organization has a beneficial interest,<br />

but is not the sole beneficiary. The organization has received charitable gift<br />

annuities and a perpetual trust held by a third party. The accounting policies<br />

for these types of split interest gifts are described below:<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

(Continued)<br />

Split interest gifts: (Continued)<br />

A charitable gift annuity is an arrangement in which the donor contributes<br />

assets to the organization in exchange for a promise to pay a fixed amount<br />

for a specified period of time to the donor or individuals or organizations<br />

designated by the donor. The assets received are held as general assets<br />

of the organization, and the annuity liability is a general obligation of the<br />

organization. The assets received are recorded at fair value in the period<br />

in which the contract is executed and the annuity payment liability is<br />

recognized at the present value of future cash flow expected to be paid.<br />

The amount of the contribution recorded is the difference between these<br />

amounts and is classified according to donor restrictions. In subsequent<br />

periods, payments to the annuitant reduce the annuity liability. Adjustments<br />

to the annuity liability reflect accretion of the discount and changes in the life<br />

expectancy of the beneficiary are recognized in the statement of activities<br />

under the caption “change in value of split interest gifts.”<br />

A perpetual trust held by a third party is an arrangement in which the donor<br />

establishes and funds a trust administered by someone other than the<br />

organization. Under the terms of the trust, the organization has the<br />

irrevocable right to receive the income earned on the trust’s assets in<br />

perpetuity, but never receives the assets held in trust. Distributions received<br />

by the organization may be restricted by the donor. The arrangement<br />

represents the receipt of an unconditional promise to give and is recorded<br />

as contribution revenue and as an asset “beneficial interest in perpetual<br />

trust” when the organization is notified of the trust’s existence. The<br />

contribution is generally recorded at the fair value of the assets contributed<br />

to the trust and is classified as permanently restricted support because of<br />

its similarities to a donor restricted permanent endowment. Distributions<br />

from the trust are recorded as investment income that increase the net<br />

asset class as determined by the donor. Adjustments to the fair value of the<br />

assets are recognized as permanently restricted gains and losses.

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

(Continued)<br />

Investments:<br />

Amounts on deposit with General Board of Pensions:<br />

The Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> maintains significant<br />

funds on deposit with the General Board of Pensions. The General Board<br />

of Pensions is an administrative agency of the United Methodist Church and<br />

is responsible for the general supervision and administration of the pension<br />

and welfare benefit programs of the United Methodist Church. The General<br />

Board of Pensions invests funds in a variety of vehicles including equity<br />

securities, corporate bonds, U. S. Government bonds, international<br />

securities, and various contracts. All funds held by the General Board of<br />

Pensions are held in trust accounts and are available for withdrawal at<br />

anytime without penalty. Interest is credited to the participants based on a<br />

guaranteed rate plus additional distributions dependent upon the<br />

investment earnings. Carrying value is cost due to similarity to money<br />

market accounts.<br />

Farm property:<br />

Farmland is carried at fair value. Farm buildings and improvements are<br />

carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings<br />

and improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the<br />

following estimated useful lives.<br />

Years<br />

Buildings and improvements 20<br />

Tile and terracing 10-20<br />

Estimates:<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted<br />

accounting principles requires management to make estimates and<br />

assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual<br />

results could differ from those estimates.<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)<br />

A summary of the organization’s significant accounting policies follows:<br />

(Continued)<br />

Income taxes:<br />

The organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income<br />

taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.<br />

Note 2. Concentrations of Credit Risk<br />

Financial instruments that potentially subject the organization to concentrations of<br />

credit risk consist principally of demand deposits located at one financial institution.<br />

Frequently the balance of these demand deposits have exceeded the Federally<br />

insured limit of $100,000. During 1997 and 1996 the organization did not experience<br />

any loss on this exposure.<br />

Note 3. <strong>Conference</strong> Receivable<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church - Treasurer’s Fund<br />

remits contributions to the Board of Pensions which are funded through<br />

apportionments and direct billings to the various churches of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>. Amounts collected and due the Board of Pensions at December 31,<br />

1997 and 1996 totaled $560,815 and $320,528.<br />

Note 4. Significant Estimate<br />

Farmland is presented at fair value. Because of uncertainties surrounding market<br />

conditions in agriculture, it is reasonably possible that estimates of the above values<br />

may change significantly in the near term.<br />

The liabilities to the beneficiaries of the charitable gift annuities, which the organization<br />

administers, is based on the life expectancies of the donors. Because of uncertainties<br />

surrounding estimates of life expectancies, it is reasonably possible that estimates of<br />

the above amounts may change significantly in the near term.

Note 5. Pension Plan<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> participates in a multi-employer pension retirement plan<br />

for eligible ministers which is administered by the General Board of Pensions and<br />

Health Benefits of the United Methodist Church. Prior to January 1, 1982 the plan was<br />

a defined benefit plan which results in a past service liability to the <strong>Conference</strong> for<br />

service years completed before that date. As of January 1, 1982, under the Ministerial<br />

Pension Plan, annual conferences are required to fund all past service costs over a<br />

40-year period and to fund any benefit improvements over a 30-year period. An<br />

actuarial valuation study is performed every four years. A detailed actuarial study is<br />

performed every four years, which is then updated during October of each year. The<br />

October update using the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Table Adjusted with an<br />

assumed 6% interest rate and 2% increase in the annuity rate. This valuation update<br />

reports an unfunded past service liability of $21,433,810 at January 1, <strong>1998</strong>. The<br />

current cost for past service liability was $1,609,120 in 1997 and $1,970,639 in 1996.<br />

The Ministerial Pension Plan became a defined contribution plan for all service on<br />

or after January 1, 1982. Accordingly, current costs are fully funded as<br />

contributions are made and vesting is full and immediate to the participant’s<br />

accounts. Annual contributions to the plan are funded through a combination of<br />

apportionments and direct billing to the various churches of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> and from earnings on assets of the Board of Pensions of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church.<br />

In addition, the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> maintains a defined contribution plan for<br />

eligible <strong>Conference</strong> lay employees. Current costs are fully funded as contributions are<br />

made and vesting is full and immediate to the participant’s accounts. Annual<br />

contributions to the plan are funded through apportionments to the various boards and<br />

agencies within the <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

Note 6. Net Assets<br />

326. Support the Council of Bishops’ Pastoral Statement<br />

pastoral statement on May 1, <strong>1998</strong>, which contains many helpful statements,<br />

including a "call for renewed commitment to our doctrinal foundations as contained<br />

in the Articles of Religion, the Confession of Faith and Wesley’s Sermons and<br />

Notes” and a covenant and commitment “to uphold the General <strong>Conference</strong>’s<br />

action on the theological, ethical, and polity matters defined in The Book of<br />

WHEREAS: The United Methodist Church states that “Homosexual persons...are<br />

individuals of sacred worth” and “Although we do not condone the practice of<br />

homosexuality and consider the practice incompatible with Christian teaching, we<br />

affirm that God’s grace is available to all” (The Book of Discipline, par. 65G); and


DAILY PROCEEDINGS<br />

WHEREAS: Hate, physical violence, threats of violence, and name-calling against<br />

gay and lesbian persons deny their sacred worth; and<br />

WHEREAS: This violence can lead to low self-esteem and self-hatred in gay and<br />

lesbian persons, resulting in many problems, including a higher suicide rate among<br />

gay and lesbian teenagers; and<br />

WHEREAS: Insufficient condemnation by the church of violent behavior creates an<br />

environment in which those who commit violent acts often believe their behavior is<br />

not wrong;<br />

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>:<br />

1. Affirms the duty of all Christians to demonstrate Christian love for all persons,<br />

including homosexual persons.<br />

of violence, and name-calling against gay and lesbian persons. All such<br />

behavior is un-Christian and is wrong.<br />

homosexuality. These beliefs should be expressed in a spirit of Christian love<br />

and non-violence.<br />

4. Encourages local congregations of The United Methodist Church to educate<br />

themselves about the problem of violent behavior and witness to their<br />

communities about these problems, especially when local incidents occur.<br />

behavior.<br />

relationships. The lungs are God, the “breath of life.” The heart’s aorta (its primary perspective) is<br />

people, rather than program. Resources, models, program, and rituals that support the God-work of<br />

making disciples are viewed and evaluated one person at a time. The two-way process from heart<br />

and lungs to body is human communication.) Desired Outcome: Thriving Christian discipleship.<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Developing the Church in Mission<br />

Every church grows in mission is our objective.<br />

Mission does not just describe what we do but describes who we are. Mission describes a people<br />

who live both in and for the world, while at the same time seeking transformation of that world through<br />

ministry and witness. Mission lies at the heart of being church. Working to the end that every local<br />

church reaches out in mission, the Board of Global Ministries seeks to connect churches to the core<br />

definition of being a church for their vitality and for the vitality of God’s world. We remind ourselves,<br />

“A church in mission is a healthy church; a healthy church is in mission.”<br />

Board of Global Ministries Strategy<br />

Through awarding grants, leadership training and recognition, and through motivational incentives, the<br />

Board of Global Ministries seeks to expand the number and intensity of churches in mission in the<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> as well as expanding the mission of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> as a whole.<br />

Priority for the Board of Global Ministries<br />

As the Board goes about its work, unchurched children’s ministries get lifted up as the top priority for<br />

ministry and funding.<br />

Vision Indicators for Quadrennium<br />

The following three statements indicate the Board of Global Ministries’ emphasis for the next four<br />

years. These statements do not mandate action on behalf of local churches but instead give focus<br />

to the Board of Global Ministries’ work in developing churches in mission across the conference.<br />

These statements reveal the standard by which the Board of Global Ministries seeks to keep itself<br />

accountable.<br />

The Board of Global Ministries works toward the day:<br />

C Shalom initiative has been established in each district<br />

C every local church will have a ministry to reach unchurched children<br />

C new churches continue to be started, so that the membership of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> will reflect<br />

the diversity of the state, in terms of age, social economics and racial diversity.<br />

Core Values for the Board<br />

The Board of Global Ministries seeks to align its work to the following three values:<br />

C We affirm God gives unmerited love to all, and we want to share that gift with all of creation.<br />

C We listen to God’s leading, to the local church, to all of God’s world; and we respond creatively,<br />

willing to risk new things.<br />

C We are called to share God’s gifts wisely to create a more just world.<br />

Board of Global Ministries Funding Guidelines<br />

In awarding grant money to local churches and agencies, the Board of Global Ministries has adopted<br />

the following policy guidelines:<br />

C Grantee submits a plan moving the program toward self-sufficiency.<br />

C An agency grantee demonstrates connection with a local church or local church ministry. This<br />

includes having an active Board of Directors which involves United Methodist members. A local<br />

church grantee demonstrates concrete missional concern.<br />

Grantee demonstrates ability to further the aim of making disciples in order to transform the world.<br />

Goal: The mission of the United Methodist Church (The Book of Discipline p. 114) and the mission<br />

of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. The mission shall be faithfully<br />

implemented in this program. This funding helps meet our goal of two new churches a year and one<br />

new ethnic ministry a year.<br />

The funds will be used as grants for establishing new churches, supporting recently-started churches,<br />

and for general church extension as determined by the Parish Development Committee and the Board<br />

of Global Ministries. This program and these funds are the annual budget used to provide specific<br />

amounts to new church starts, with a certain budgeted amount each year for 3-5 years with a<br />

completed total per church of no more than $200,000<br />

ministry, has a long range plan for continually developing this ministry, and has a clear need for<br />

connectional financial support as a mission church to accomplish this revitalization ministry.<br />

C Mission Church Assistance (MCA) is not meant for building improvements, but for program and/or<br />

salary support. MCA is not meant to simply sustain what already is happening in the local church<br />

but is meant for revitalization of the local church that now sees itself and defines itself as a “Mission<br />

Church.”<br />

C It is to be understood that MCA is a funding source but not the primary funding source for “Mission<br />

Churches.” Local church stewardship must be an integral part in developing ownership for<br />

revitalization ministries. Mission Churches cannot develop a dependency upon MCA as their only<br />

funding source. Grants will be set up on a decreasing scale with the goal being that no Mission<br />

Church receive MCA for more than five years.<br />

C MCA will be a part of the two year budget of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Applications for funding will<br />

be submitted through the Coordinated Funding packet and process.<br />

406. Guidelines for Church Extension and Revitalization (Standing Item)<br />

Editor's Note: This is an updated version of the Guidelines for Church Extension and Revitalization<br />

first approved by the 1990 <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Session as they were amended by the 1992, 1994<br />

and 1996 Annual <strong>Conference</strong>s. They have been revised to reflect new funding policies for new church<br />

development. The Parish Development Committee recommends the Guidelines be approved and<br />

become a Standing Item replacing the current Guidelines document.<br />

A. From the 1996 Book of Discipline.<br />

263.1 “A new local church or mission shall be established only with the consent of the bishop<br />

in charge and cabinet and with due consideration of the conference Board of Global Ministries'<br />

programs of home missions and church extension (if any, see 631). The bishop shall designate<br />

the district within whose bounds the church shall be organized. The district superintendent of<br />

that district shall be the agent in charge of the project and shall recommend to the district Board<br />

of Church Location and Building (2518) the site for the proposed new congregation, or shall<br />

recommend to the Board of Trustees of a selected local church that they share their facility with<br />

the proposed congregation. If there is a city or district missionary organization, that body shall<br />

also be asked to approve this site (631.5j).”<br />

B. A Mission Church is a congregation that has been designated by the Board of Global Ministries<br />

and the Cabinet as a congregation that for missional purposes may be assisted by resources


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> to fulfill their vision for ministry. A Mission Church could be:<br />

1. A newly-formed congregation.<br />

2. A church experiencing unusual missional opportunities.<br />

The Mission Churches shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Global Ministries and the<br />

Cabinet to monitor progress toward reaching their vision/mission. The general goal, where<br />

possible, is for each mission church to become financially self-supporting. We recognize that<br />

ethnic mission churches may require a longer term financial commitment.<br />

The Pastoral Support shall be set at a level deemed, in the judgment of the Cabinet, to be<br />

commensurate with the experience required of the appointment. Pastoral Support may be<br />

supplemented, if warranted, from one or more of the following sources:<br />

1. <strong>Conference</strong> Equitable Compensation Funds;<br />

2. <strong>Conference</strong> Mission Church Assistance;<br />

3. <strong>Conference</strong> Church Extension Funds;<br />

4. General Church Salary Supplement Funds.<br />

Housing costs and direct billing for health insurance and pensions for the pastor shall be fully<br />

covered in budget projections and where warranted, may be supplemented from the sources<br />

identified in this document.<br />

All Mission Churches, except new congregations, will be apportioned each year at the full 100%<br />

fair share level. Every Mission Church is expected to develop as a mission-sending church even<br />

while it is identified as a mission-receiving church.<br />

A Mission Church may request to be designated as a <strong>Conference</strong> Advance Special. This begins<br />

with an application to the Mission Education Standing Committee and must be approved by the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries.<br />

C. The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries and the Parish Development Standing Committee<br />

shall coordinate the funding of Church Extension and Revitalization projects in the conference.<br />

The Board of Global Ministries treasurer shall coordinate applications for projects and shall<br />

consult with chairs of Institutional Ministries, Parish Development, and Equitable Compensation.<br />

All decisions on applications will be made by the appropriate committees in consultation with<br />

local church leaders, District Superintendents, District boards of Church Location and Building,<br />

District Parish Development Committees, the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Trustees, the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

Council on Ministries, and the Bishop.<br />

D. The following will be the general guidelines for Church Extension and Revitalization:<br />

1. Each District Superintendent, in consultation with his/her district Parish Development<br />

Committee and district Board of Church Location and Building, shall project all needs relating<br />

to developing new congregations and revitalizing congregations in his/her district for a period<br />

of not less than five years which is reviewed and updated annually. The District<br />

Superintendent's other responsibilities in developing new congregations are defined in The<br />

1996 Book of Discipline, 263.<br />

2. No new congregation shall be funded and no new church building or site shall receive<br />

support from the <strong>Conference</strong> until such project has received the approval of the district<br />

committee of Church Location and Building and the district Parish Development Committee.<br />

The original funding proposal must be approved by the <strong>Conference</strong> Parish Development<br />

Committee, and shall continue in a consultative and supportive relationship to the new<br />

congregation during its early formative years. The funding proposal must be submitted with<br />

a missional design proposal and must have a projection for its first three years. (A new<br />

Church Start-Up Budget Sheet and assessment tools are available from the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

Office and GBGM.)<br />

183


184<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

3. The conference Board of Global Ministries upon recommendation of the Cabinet and Parish<br />

Development Committee may provide grant support to a new congregation or a revitalized<br />

congregation for capital investment in land or building by a United Methodist Builders Call.<br />

4. The Rotating Loan Fund administered by the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries Parish<br />

Development Committee may be used to supplement Church Extension grants. For new<br />

congregations, the loan shall be interest free for the three years, and then assessing one-half<br />

the going rate in the fourth year and advancing 1% per year until the current rate is reached.<br />

For established congregations, the interest on the loan shall be the regular rate established<br />

by the conference Board of Global Ministries unless other provisions are approved by the<br />

Parish Development Committee and Board of Global Ministries.<br />

5. The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> will follow the guidelines established in 263 from the 1996<br />

Discipline. It is recommended that new congregations be constituted when their mission<br />

design potential is reached as defined in the funding proposal in consultation with the District<br />

Superintendent and cabinet. After a new congregation is constituted by an initial Charge<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, the congregation shall submit the required reports for the "Statistical Record and<br />

Summaries" printed in the <strong>Journal</strong> of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

6. The formula used to apportion the <strong>Conference</strong> Budget to the churches of the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

shall be the four year average of local church operating expenses (excluding utilities),<br />

program expenses and pastoral support. All grants, loans and advance special income given<br />

to mission congregations will be exempt from determining their fair share apportionments.<br />

The actual church apportionment is limited to a maximum 10% increase in 1999 and following<br />

years<br />

7. A new church will pay with the initial appointment 100% of direct billing for pensions and<br />

health insurance.<br />

8. If the <strong>Conference</strong> Parish Development Committee, District Parish Development Committee<br />

and District Committee of Church Location and Building agree that the purchase of land is<br />

advisable before a new congregation is established, the land may be purchased and held for<br />

future development. The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Trustees shall hold title to the property until<br />

such time as a new congregation is constituted/chartered for that site. The new congregation<br />

shall purchase the land on contract from the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> with the value of the land<br />

being that at the time the land was purchased by the <strong>Conference</strong>. The new congregation<br />

shall negotiate the amount of the down payment with the Parish Development Committee.<br />

9. Insofar as the <strong>Conference</strong>'s financial resources allow, funding for a new church development<br />

shall be as follows:<br />

a. Each new church start will receive no more than $200,000 total for start-up costs for<br />

salary, benefits, and program over a 3-5 year period. The exact total allotted will be<br />

determined according to the vision and mission of the new church. No parsonages or<br />

first units will be purchased with start-up funds. Start-up funds could include housing<br />

allowances. This would not preclude additional assistance for the purchase of land,<br />

parsonages or church facilities from other grant or loan sources or UM Builders calls.<br />

b. Proposed building unit must have the approval of the district Board of Church Location<br />

and Building and the conference Parish Development Committee. (A good guideline to<br />

use in determining a building's feasibility is the 4/3 plan: the cost of the building is divided<br />

by 1/3 cash available, 1/3 pledges already in hand, and 1/3 assumed as a loan. The<br />

fourth 1/3 is that annual debt payment must not be larger than 1/3 of the church’s total<br />

annual income.)<br />

c. Volunteer labor may be available through the Volunteer In Mission Work Team program.<br />

New congregations are encouraged to seek this service for their building projects.<br />

10. Revitalization is defined as the process of an existing church becoming a fully developed and<br />

intentionally missional congregation. A revitalization process enables a congregation to<br />

recognize its foundation in Jesus Christ, develop a mission design, and implement<br />

appropriate ministries within the church and community, and participate in the world-wide<br />

mission of the Church. This process of rediscovery may lead to relocation, merger, new<br />

ministries, facility repairs or additions, renewed spiritual vitality, stewardship growth, and/or<br />

leadership development.


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

The Parish Development Committee shall evaluate congregational revitalization projects<br />

using the definition of revitalization along with the congregation's demonstrated commitment<br />

to church growth. The church growth may be in membership, spiritual development and<br />

outreach to the community. The congregation through supporting data and a written design<br />

must show potential for church growth and define how resources from the <strong>Conference</strong> can<br />

enhance that growth. A congregation seeking revitalization support from the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

must develop specific goals and strategies to realize revitalization and must have an<br />

identifiable target audience that will benefit from the proposed program or project.<br />

a. Funding for capital improvements can come from Builders Call and/or Volunteer In<br />

Mission Work Teams.<br />

b. If the revitalization project includes new church staff, a grant may include complete<br />

support for the first year with the congregation assuming a larger share of the cost each<br />

succeeding year as negotiated. Funding for new church staff can come from a variety<br />

of sources; however, the primary funding source for new staff will be Parish<br />

Development Committee, Mission Church Assistance funds.<br />

c. If the revitalization project is a new program or a new parish ministry model, a grant may<br />

include complete support for the first year with the congregation assuming a larger share<br />

of the cost each succeeding year as negotiated. Funding for program development can<br />

come from a variety of sources; however, Mission Church Assistance, and/or<br />

Institutional Ministries are the primary funding sources for new parish ministry models.<br />

d. The Board of Global Ministries treasurer will receive and direct applications for grants<br />

or loans from funds administered by the various conference agencies, the General Board<br />

of Global Ministries, and the United Methodist Development Fund. Consultation with<br />

appropriate leadership on the local, conference, and national levels will occur. The<br />

treasurer will refer inquiries about other fund sources to the appropriate agency.<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

407. Joint Strategy for New Church Development and Parish Revitalization (Standing Item)<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

A spirit of cooperation and shared vision regarding the development and revitalization of<br />

congregations continues to emerge in the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. The Cabinet and the Parish<br />

Development Committee joined hands to develop a coordinated strategy for the starting of new<br />

congregations and the revitalization of existing congregations. This document outlines that emerging<br />

strategy and sets it in a missional context.<br />

We celebrate starting fifteen new congregations (one serves an African-American population),<br />

supporting dozens of revitalization programs and four new ethnic ministries of presence. The new<br />

congregations alone have 1,300 members and a combined average worship attendance of 1,246. The<br />

majority of those participating were previously unchurched. Through the addition of new programs,<br />

new staff and new facilities, similar results are being realized through our revitalization efforts. In 1990,<br />

for the first time in 20 years or more, two of our districts showed a new increase in membership. In<br />

1996, the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> had a net increase of membership, the only conference in our jurisdiction<br />

to demonstrate membership growth. <strong>Conference</strong>-wide our worship attendance is increasing. Persons<br />

are coming to Christ and being challenged to become responsible disciples.<br />

Now is the time to continue our momentum and not shrink from the mission and opportunity which God<br />

has given us.<br />

DEFINITIONS<br />

The vision of parish development is for every congregation to develop as a Mission Church. This<br />

includes the planting of new churches or ministries and the revitalization of existing congregations. In<br />

all cases, the emphasis is on strengthening congregations and the gathering of previously<br />

unchurched people for the purpose of worship, Christian formation and mission.<br />

New church development is the process by which a district and the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> identify an<br />

unchurched population, select a target site, appoint a pastor, and initiate a new ministry. New church<br />

development may be accomplished by surveying a geographical area, parenting by an existing church,<br />

developing home churches, telemarketing and/or other models. The planting process enables a new<br />

congregation to recognize its foundation in Jesus Christ, develop a mission design, implement<br />

appropriate ministries within the congregation and community, and participate in world-wide mission<br />

of the church.<br />

Revitalization of existing congregations is a function of spiritual vitality, clarity of purpose and renewed<br />

missional outreach. Many of our churches need to be relocated, merged, realigned, repaired,<br />

redeveloped, both spiritually and physically, to assure maximum spiritual growth, adequate financial<br />

resources, effective pastoral leadership, and a vital program ministry to every community in <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

Revitalization will provide more effective congregations strategically located where population shifts<br />

have occurred or ministry opportunity exists, and makes us better stewards of funds, existing facilities,<br />

and human resources. Revitalization opportunities exist<br />

in rural churches in transition, churches facing unusual opportunities for mission, relocations, inner city<br />

churches, and new and experimental ministries.<br />

OUR VISION<br />

A vision is an image or picture of a preferred future. It is specific, compelling and forward-looking. It<br />

is ultimately a gift from God, discerned by the Body of Christ.<br />

Based on our past experience and grounded in the current missional opportunity, we offer the following<br />

specific "pictures" of our future to the broader annual conference community. As an Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, we would:<br />

A. Plant at least two new congregations per year within the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>;<br />

B. Begin at least one new ethnic ministry or congregation each year;


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

C. Initiate at least one new satellite ministry of presence or congregation in each district per year,<br />

with particular attention to small towns, fringe communities/populations and mobile home parks; and<br />

D. Through consultation with <strong>Conference</strong> Field Staff and District Superintendents, encourage every<br />

existing congregation to become mission centers through revitalized worship, outreach and nurture<br />

to the unchurched.<br />

STRATEGIES<br />

It is difficult to translate a vision into current reality without some specific planning, funding and<br />

implementation strategies. Our specific recommendations include:<br />

A. The <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Ministries coordinate a conference-wide demographic study, updated<br />

every four years, for the purpose of (1) identifying potential sites for new congregations/ministries and<br />

(2) providing existing congregations with data to enable their revitalization and outreach.<br />

B. Each district superintendent, in consultation with appropriate district leadership, develop a<br />

strategic plan outlining new congregation/ministry and revitalization opportunities for his/her district<br />

for the next five years. The plans would be shared and discussed with the entire Cabinet and Parish<br />

Development Committee in an annual "retreat" designated for this purpose. The plans would be<br />

updated annually. The Parish Development Committee would assist in the coordination of district<br />

plans, especially as they relate to the findings of the demographic study and conference funding<br />

capabilities.<br />

C. The Cabinet develop an ongoing process for identifying and assessing new church start and<br />

revitalization pastors (ordained and local pastors, full-time and less than full-time). Similarly, the<br />

Cabinet develop an academy for training such pastors.<br />

Further, the Cabinet develop an ongoing training process for district superintendents focusing on<br />

congregational development and revitalization, and urge selection of new district superintendents who<br />

will give leadership to new congregational development and revitalization.<br />

D. Districts are encouraged to raise funds for congregational development and revitalization<br />

projects. This can be accomplished in at least two ways. First, develop a district fundraising strategy<br />

such as a Church Planters network in consultation with <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Finance and<br />

Administration. Second, 653.4 of the 1996 Book of Discipline gives permission to district<br />

conferences to incorporate as a District Union, “under the laws of the state in which it is licensed to<br />

hold and administer real and personal property, receive and administer church extension funds for use<br />

within the district...” The specific need, methodologies and timing will vary from district to district.<br />

E. Each new church start will receive no more than $200,000 total from the churchextension fund<br />

for start-up costs for salary, benefits, and program over a 3-5 year period. The exact total allotted will<br />

be determined according to the vision and mission of the new church. No parsonages or first units<br />

will be purchased with start-up funds. Startup funds could include housing allowances. This would not<br />

preclude additional assistance for the purchase of land, parsonages or church facilities from other<br />

sources or UM Builders calls.<br />

F. The Parish Development Standing Committee in conjunction with the <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist<br />

Communications office will develop a plan to share the story of church revitalization and new church<br />

starts with the United Methodists of <strong>Iowa</strong>. Ideas for this process of communication include the<br />

following: a highlight on the conference web page , monthly articles in The United Methodist Life,<br />

quarterly inserts for District Newsletters, and a brochure sharing what our apportionment dollars are<br />

doing in this area. The goal of this communication plan would be to share how our partnership is<br />

moving us towards our vision.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

The 1996 Book of Discipline specifies in paragraph 263.1 that a new local church shall be<br />

established only with the consent of the Bishop and the Cabinet. However, this can not be<br />

187

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

accomplished without a strong partnership with the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries. This<br />

partnership is outlined in paragraphs 263 and 631.5. Our <strong>Conference</strong> Rules of Order provide for a<br />

Parish Development Standing Committee of the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Global Ministries. The Parish<br />

Development Committee is the primary avenue through which the conference coordinates and funds<br />

our new church development efforts and revitalization projects.<br />

Our past experience and our current missional opportunity are teaching us that the most effective<br />

evangelistic strategy today to reach the unchurched is by planting new churches and developing new<br />

ministries of outreach. We further believe that existing congregations need to catch a new vision for<br />

growth and revitalization. Our belief is not simply a conviction or a neatly packaged vision, but a<br />

determination to collectively fulfill our vision and make it a living reality.<br />

408. Shalom Initiative and Emerging Ministries<br />

Goal: In order to initiate and nurture Shalom zones throughout the conference, the Board of Global<br />

Ministries will provide training and seed-money grants to churches developing Shalom ministries.<br />

Definition of Shalom<br />

...a mission field. It is the visible witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of humanity.<br />

...transformation. It moves from charity to justice.<br />

...rooted in self-determination. It ensures community participation in all decision-making.<br />

...based on strategic planning. It is developed for the community by the community.<br />

...releasing local resources. It builds self-sustaining community economic development.<br />

...generating new models of development. It tests programs that can be replicated in other<br />

communities.<br />

...empowered by local congregations. It is supported by the church with resources, volunteers,<br />

appointments, gifts and prayers.<br />

A Shalom Zone is a defined geographic area within the community (of Shalom) in which churches<br />

work toward systemic change by collaborating with community organizations and community<br />

residents to develop economic prosperity, eliminate racism, coordinate community resources,<br />

empower community leaders and residents to plan for their community’s future, and proclaim the<br />

Gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />

Funding Guidelines<br />

See Board of Global Ministries Funding Guidelines listed above, also:<br />

C Connectional Agency Mission Support (CAMS) will be a source of funding for agencies of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> as they strengthen and enhance the ministry and mission of the church in urban<br />

and town and country settings. These agencies provide opportunities for congregations to be<br />

involved in mission outreach and transforming the community and world by working with persons<br />

of every age level and in all communities. Each agency is expected to use a long-range planning<br />

process to continually develop their unique vision for ministry. CAMS will not be a funding source<br />

simply to keep the doors open.<br />

C CAMS is a funding source but is not to be the only funding source for agencies. Agencies cannot<br />

develop dependency upon CAMS as their only funding source.<br />

C CAMS will be a part of the two-year budget of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Applications for funding will<br />

be submitted through the Coordinated Funding Packet and follow the process outlined in that<br />

packet.<br />

Rainbow Covenant Explanation<br />

Purpose is to educate and motivate local churches in supporting United Methodist Board of Global<br />

Ministries projects and personnel as well as supporting local mission projects. The first step is to<br />

realize that World Service apportionment giving is mission giving. We hope to see an increased<br />

number of churches become Second Mile Rainbow Covenant, Third Mile Rainbow Covenant and<br />

Honorable Mention churches; this indicates that apportionments are being paid in full. We also want<br />

to challenge churches to move upward in their mission giving: Honorable Mention churches become<br />

Second Mile Rainbow Covenant; Second Miles become Third Miles; Third Miles become Global<br />

Mission<br />

A. First Mile Giving -- Churches pay in full World Service and <strong>Conference</strong> Benevolence askings and<br />

their apportionments. Promotion of the nine United Methodist Special Offerings is also required.<br />

B. Second Mile Giving -- Meeting all seven challenges totals $12.00/member.<br />

RED SPECTRUM: World -- Churches give $1.00/member to projects outside of the United<br />

States. This may include gifts to the <strong>Iowa</strong>-Nigeria Partnership.<br />

ORANGE SPECTRUM: United States -- Churches give $1.00/member to projects within the<br />

United States. Missionaries serving in the United States are also included here.<br />

YELLOW SPECTRUM: UMCOR -- Churches give $1.00/member to a United Methodist<br />

Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Division projects of their own choosing. This can include<br />

donations to the Church World Service Blanket Fund given through the Thanksgiving Ingathering,<br />

as well as the One Great Hour of Sharing special offering.<br />

GREEN SPECTRUM: World Hunger/Poverty -- Churches give $6.00/member to world, United<br />

States and local hunger/poverty programs. This includes kits and most money given to the<br />

Thanksgiving Ingathering; money and food given to local food pantries; CROP Walk money; and<br />

UNICEF donations.<br />

BLUE SPECTRUM: <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> Advance Special -- Churches give $1.00/member to <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Advance Special Projects of their choosing. It is recommended that at least<br />

50¢ of each $1.00 be designated for ethnic minority ministries. <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> Advance<br />

Board of Discipleship<br />

Essential Work: The Board of Discipleship is challenged to lead in directions that promote the whole<br />

scope of the Board's historic and collective emphasis for ministry: to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and<br />

grow spiritually, invite others to experience the Good News, educate them in the full means and<br />

responsibility of the faith and then properly care for all resources trusted to our use; both human and<br />

material. To fully respond to all Christ calls us to be and to respond to the needs of our diverse world,<br />

we need to not only evangelize (spread the Word), educate, nurture the faint hearted and develop new<br />

ways to praise our Maker but we need to work to strengthen the connections between them all.<br />

419. Funding for Ministry<br />

Goal: The mission of the United Methodist Church (The Book of Discipline, page 114) and the mission<br />

of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. This mission shall be faithfully<br />

implemented in this program. Therefore, we propose a new way of supporting local church efforts to<br />

reach and receive, relate people to God, nurture them in the faith and then send equipped disciples<br />

out for mission in the world. It is proposed that the Board of Discipleship pool the non essential and<br />

current uncommitted budget money from their accounts to be used as block grants to churches and/or


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

districts. These grants will be based on their own written plan of action as to how they will use the<br />

money to: reach out and receive, relate persons to God, nurture those responding to the faith and how<br />

they will equip them for ministry. They will also state how they believe this ministry plan will enhance<br />

and change their ability to do ministry.<br />

a. The formula used to apportion the <strong>Conference</strong> Budget to the churches of the <strong>Conference</strong> shall<br />

be the four year average of local church operating expenses (excluding utilities), program expenses,<br />

and pastoral support. All grants, loans and advance special income given to mission congregations<br />

will be exempt from determining their fair share apportionment. The actual church apportionment is<br />

limited to a maximum 10% increase in 1999 and following years.<br />

b. Newly constituted congregations shall be apportioned ten percent of its fair share of all<br />

apportionments the first full calendar year after it is chartered. Its apportionments shall be increased<br />

ten percent per year based on its fair share for the first four years. For the next four years its<br />

apportionments shall be increased by fifteen percent. This will enable new churches to reach full<br />

apportionments in eight years after the charter year. The four year average of operating expenses,<br />

program expenses, and pastoral support for each newly chartered church will be determined by using<br />

the immediately previous four years statistics available from the <strong>Conference</strong> statistical tables or zero<br />

amounts for years before charter if no statistics are available. All grants, loans and advance special<br />

receipts are exempt from being included as money used for expenses in the four year average.<br />

Limitations found in 601.9.a., are only in effect when a church has reached 100% apportionment. The<br />

above process of yearly stepping up the apportionment amounts does not preclude any congregation<br />

from contributing to the apportionments a larger amount than apportioned by the formula. To help<br />

205


206<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

each new church know what its full apportionments would be, the <strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer will report that<br />

amount to the church at the times when the new year’s apportionments are announced.<br />

c. In critical missional situations a team of persons from the Cabinet, <strong>Conference</strong> Council on<br />

Finance and Administration, and Parish Development shall be established to review the specific issues<br />

and develop a response that would encourage a church to develop a pattern of faithfulness to our<br />

connectional apportionments. This response, made prior to calculation of apportionments (Judicial<br />

Council Decision 818) may include a temporary, partial or full relief from apportionments on year to<br />

year basis. This plan of action is intended to allow a church to maintain a positive pattern of growth.<br />

d. The calculation steps for the formula are:<br />

1) The four year average of operating expenses, program expenses, and pastoral support<br />

for each church is determined by using the immediately previous four years available from the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> statistical tables.<br />

2) The <strong>Conference</strong> four year average is determined by adding together the amounts from all<br />

churches as computed from step 9.b.1) above.<br />

3) The result from step 9.b.1) for each church is divided into the <strong>Conference</strong> four year<br />

average from step 9.b.2) yielding a percentage for each church.<br />

4) The result from step 9.b.3) for each church is multiplied times each of the <strong>Conference</strong><br />

funds resulting in the apportionment for each church.<br />

5) The result from 9.b.4) may be limited as described in 9.a. above.<br />

e. Each district may apportion an amount within that district to support the ministry and programs<br />

of the district. The formula used by the district shall be determined by a vote of the District <strong>Conference</strong><br />

upon recommendation of the District Council on Ministries. The district apportionment must be<br />

approved by the CFA and by the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Each year the <strong>Conference</strong> Budget shall include<br />

each district’s formula and a listing of the programs to be supported by the district apportionment as<br />

a part of CFA’s budget report.<br />

purchase of service agreements, with organizations using those services directly paying the<br />

Foundation for services rendered.<br />

5. The recommendation for the <strong>1998</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> concerning fiscal year 1999 is that some of<br />

the Foundation’s fund development services be purchased by the <strong>Conference</strong> to continue to provide<br />

the basic services mentioned above to all churches, individuals and institutions regardless of their<br />

ability to pay. (Payment for extended services would be the responsibility of the entity being served.)<br />

local churches, individuals and affiliated organizations, as outlined above, with an umbrella purchase<br />

of service agreement for $50,000 for the calendar year of 1999.<br />

1) Build the Unrestricted Reserve Fund to a level which matches the deficits of the various<br />

funds, thereby restoring all assets to the apportioned Health Insurance Fund.<br />

2) Further increase our Unrestricted Reserve Fund by the amount equal to 10% of the<br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> apportioned budget to give the <strong>Conference</strong> a comfortable cash-flow throughout<br />

the whole year.<br />

3) Maintain the Unrestricted Reserve Fund at that level.<br />

Financial need $3,000,000 (part 1 = $1,800,000; part 2 = $1,200,000)<br />

650. Comprehensive Property and Liability Insurance Program for the Annual <strong>Conference</strong><br />

and Local Churches.<br />

The 1997 <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> authorized the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Trustees to bring a proposal<br />

to the 1999 Annual <strong>Conference</strong> for a voluntary conference wide insurance program. The rationale for<br />

this authorization includes: (1) the 1996 Book of Discipline encourages the establishment of an<br />

insurance program that is available to all local churches. (2) several annual conferences of the United<br />

Methodist Church have established conference wide insurance programs as a way of offering broader<br />

protection with cost savings to local churches. (3) it is now possible that some local churches may<br />

be underinsured because of the high costs of premiums. (4) significant cost savings may be realized<br />

through the purchasing power of local churches acting together and may guarantee that each local<br />

church has essential protection.<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Trustees believes that further consideration needs to occur before a<br />

conference wide program for the United Methodist Churches is presented. Further considerations<br />

include: (1) A way to involve the local agent or an agent of the church’s choice so that person can aid<br />

and assist the church in developing the coverages needed. (2) A program that would allow for a<br />

dividend to be developed for those churches who participate if their loss ratio is below a certain level.<br />

This “profit” that the insurance companies would develop from the book of church business should be<br />

shared between the churches and the insurance company. (3) The ability for the <strong>Conference</strong> to set<br />

a minimum standard for insurance but allow local congregations to negotiate and develop coverages<br />

needed for the local situation. These needs will change over time and should be covered by working<br />

with the insurance company to get these coverages. (4) Have blanket coverages on either a<br />

conference wide basis or at least for the churches on a local basis. (5) Develop a policy which would<br />

give a minimum of coverages local churches need and require all churches to meet this minimum<br />

standard whether they are a participant in the conference wide insurance program or not. (6) Develop<br />

additional coverage to be made available to each local church on an individual basis depending upon<br />

need and desire for this coverage.<br />

The following time line for implementation of the program is recommended:<br />

April-May 1999<br />

Insurance Committee interviews the Risk Manager from General Council on Finance and<br />

Administration and continues to define a voluntary program for <strong>Iowa</strong>. The Committee researches other<br />

conference programs and shares information with CFA. The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Trustees approve<br />

an outline that defines basic goals of a conference wide voluntary program in <strong>Iowa</strong>.<br />

June-September 1999<br />

Goals for an <strong>Iowa</strong> program are announced to the conference and explained. Insurance companies<br />

are given preliminary interviews to learn of their interest in and reaction to the <strong>Conference</strong> goals.<br />

salary by 5% per year. This would allow no applications from the same charge after the seventh year.<br />

The actual amounts awarded will depend on the approval of Equitable Compensation Commission and<br />

of the PSL a minimum of every two years or a maximum of every four years. At the time of each<br />

689. Waivers of Participation in the Ministerial Pension Plan. (MPP)<br />

The General <strong>Conference</strong> of the United Methodist Church amended Article III of the MPP to allow some<br />

itinerant clergy persons and local pastors whose participation in the MPP is mandated by 1996 The<br />

Book of Discipline to elect to waive their participation in the MPP. The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong><br />

hereby adopts the policy that a clergy person who is an ordained member and is appointed to less<br />

than full time service or a clergy person who is a part-time or student local pastor may voluntarily elect<br />

not to participate in the MPP providing:<br />

(1) a Waiver of Participation form is signed by the participant and the participant’s spouse.<br />

(2) the Waiver of Participation form is filed with the GBOPHB, the district superintendent and the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions<br />

(3) The request for waiver is approved by the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions .<br />

The MPP is a benefit offered to all clergy under appointment in the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and as<br />

such no United Methodist Church in <strong>Iowa</strong> may deny their clergy participation in this plan. The clergy<br />

who are considering this waiver be strongly advised to consult with their respective district<br />

superintendent prior to the signing of the waiver. A participant may not be coerced into signing the<br />

waiver and signing the waiver cannot be a condition of the clergy person serving that congregation.<br />

The clergy who elects not to participate in the MPP understands that because of their election, no<br />

contributions will be made to this plan on their behalf, nor will any benefit accrue for them. The waiver<br />

is binding on them and their heirs and on all other persons who might otherwise claim benefits<br />

because of their participation.<br />

The waiver is effective on the date the “Waiver of Participation” is signed and shall remain in effect<br />

until the date the clergy elects to revoke this decision. Any revocation shall apply only to future<br />

contributions. The <strong>Conference</strong> or the local church will not be required to make retroactive<br />

contributions to cover any of the employment prior to the date that the waiver is revoked. A clergy<br />

may enroll in the plan only if all eligibility requirements are met as set forth in the plan document.<br />

234<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pension may choose not to honor this waiver if participation in the plan is<br />

necessary in order for the plan to satisfy the requirements of any section of the Internal Revenue<br />

Code.<br />

690. Death Notices Fund<br />

When a death occurs of an active or retired clergy, elder, local pastor, deacon, diaconal minister,<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Apportioning Basis<br />

The basis for apportioning the 1999 <strong>Conference</strong> budget adopted by the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> at<br />

the <strong>1998</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> Session is as follows:<br />

The 4-year average of local church operating expense, program expense, and pastoral<br />

support, divided by the <strong>Conference</strong> totals of the same expenses. The actual church<br />

apportionment is limited to a maximum 10% increase. All grants, loans and advance<br />

special income given to mission congregations will be exempt from determining their fair<br />

share apportionment.<br />

NOTE: Following is an example only.<br />

Example:<br />

Using the 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994 statistical reports for the 1999 apportionments calculations, the<br />

236<br />

following calculation process used:<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

(1) The local church operating expense, program expense, and pastoral support for each year<br />

is added together and averaged over the four years:<br />

1997 - $ 58,064<br />

1996 - 61,314<br />

1995 - 56,285<br />

1994 - 52,258<br />

$ 227,921 Average: $56,980<br />

(2) The local church operating expenses, program expenses, and pastoral support for<br />

each year is added together for all churches in the <strong>Conference</strong> and averaged over<br />

the four years:<br />

1997 - $ 34,625,557<br />

1996 - 35,224,674<br />

1995 - 33,616,728<br />

1994 - 31,407,232<br />

$134,874,191 Average: $33,718,548<br />

(3) Divide local church average by <strong>Conference</strong> average to obtain the 4-year average<br />

percent for the Anywhere, <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Church:<br />

$ 56,980<br />

$ 33,718,548<br />

= .00168987111<br />

(4) The Anywhere, <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodist Church 4-year average percent is multiplied by the<br />

apportionment totals:<br />

Ministerial Support $5,491,104 x .00168987111 = $9,279<br />

Administrative Ministries 2,959,430 x .00168987111 = 5,001<br />

World Service/Conf. Benev. 4,377,849 x .00168987111 = 7,398<br />

Other Ministries 278,596 x .00168987111 = 471<br />

Total <strong>1998</strong> Apportionment $22,149<br />

(5) The 1999 apportionment is compared to the <strong>1998</strong> apportionment. If the 1999 apportionment<br />

varies more than a 10% increase from the <strong>1998</strong> apportionment, the 1999 apportionment is then<br />

limited to the 10% increase. If the 1999 apportionment is less than a 10% increase, the<br />

apportionment may be increased by an amount that would have been originally distributed to<br />

churches that would have had more than a 10% increase.<br />

REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON CLERGY & DIACONAL MINISTER MISCONDUCT<br />

TO THE <strong>1998</strong> SESSION OF THE IOWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE<br />

I. THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT<br />

Our work has been undergirded by some basic assumptions about what it means to be loved and<br />

called by God to live and work within the Body of Christ.<br />

First, we believe that all persons have been created by God in the image of God. We have been<br />

created to live in community with God and one another.<br />

When we sin, the community is broken. Our sin estranges us from God and from others. Persons<br />

whom we hurt through our sin may also feel estranged from God and the community because of their<br />

sense of hurt, betrayal and/or injustice. Forgiveness is the starting point of the journey back to<br />

community. As we struggle to feel forgiveness or to feel forgiving, God gracefully meets us with<br />

unconditional forgiveness.<br />

Forgiveness as Grace:<br />

God’s forgiveness is prevenient grace rooted in God’s love. It urges us on the path toward<br />

understanding our mistakes and sin.<br />

God’s forgiveness is redemptive grace. It empowers us to turn and be forgiven. God does not<br />

force divine love and forgiveness on human beings. We must do our part to turn and receive<br />

forgiveness.<br />

God’s forgiveness is sanctifying grace because it offers us the power to develop the habit of living<br />

justly and walking humbly with God..<br />

God’s forgiveness thus is freely given, yet available to us only when we choose to accept it.<br />

Consequences:<br />

Our sins have consequences. Some consequences cannot be changed, e.g. life lost cannot be<br />

revived, some things destroyed cannot be replaced, some debts cannot be repaid, and some<br />

relationships, once broken, may be nearly impossible to rebuild.<br />

God’s forgiveness may modify or remove some of the consequences when we accept this<br />

forgiveness, but others are unalterable. In some cases, only after we have experienced God’s<br />

forgiveness are we able to see or understand all the consequences of our actions.<br />

237


238<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Human Forgiveness:<br />

Human forgiveness is first of all a quality, action and state of an individual’s soul. Human<br />

forgiveness requires the power of God’s grace.<br />

When we are the injured party, human forgiveness involves coming to see that the one who has hurt<br />

us is a child of God. We are called to see this person as a child of God whether or not that person has<br />

admitted fault or asked for forgiveness.<br />

When we have caused injury, before we can forgive ourselves, we must learn to see and respect<br />

ourselves as a beloved children of God despite the wrong we have committed.<br />

Human forgiveness is seldom possible unless we first deal with the hurt, confusion, anger and/or<br />

guilt which come from being wronged or committing wrong. It is God’s grace that leads through the<br />

fiery furnace of these emotions. A dependable human companion often helps make this journey<br />

possible.<br />

Human forgiveness benefits first and foremost the one who forgives. When we forgive another, we<br />

are freed to move toward wholeness and relationship with God who is love.<br />

When we have injured, forgiveness is often made easier by the confession and repentance of the<br />

one who has hurt us. When we have hurt another, self-forgiveness is often made easier by being<br />

forgiven by the one we hurt. However, human forgiveness is never dependent upon the act of another<br />

human, but only upon our response to the forgiving grace of God.<br />

Consequences Imposed by the <strong>Conference</strong>:<br />

Neither God’s nor human forgiveness automatically frees us from the consequences of our actions.<br />

Some consequences may be deemed necessary for the protection of others or of ourselves. Such<br />

protection may be necessary because of the apparent or potential danger of repeated mistakes. Thus<br />

the perpetrator of a particularly serious wrong may be removed from the situation where the wrong<br />

might be repeated.<br />

Some consequences are instituted to motivate confession, restitution and justice. These<br />

consequences often may be removed upon confession, restitution and re-establishment of justice.<br />

Relationships:<br />

Within that context, our relationships must be characterized by high regard for oneself and others.<br />

In the faith community we are all equals who deserve respect from one another. Such respectfulness<br />

is evidenced by a willingness to honor the boundaries, choices, experiences, feelings, knowledge and<br />

gifts of the other, even when our own wishes and learnings are in disagreement with the other. It also<br />

implies respectfulness of and equal regard for each person’s expression of her or his gifts, that is for<br />

each person’s ministry.<br />

Relationships and Accountability Within Ministry:<br />

As we work together in ministry, it is important for us to acknowledge and celebrate that each of us<br />

has a role to play in witnessing to our faith by building up the body and working for change which will<br />

reflect God’s intentions for the world. Within our roles as lay, consecrated and clergy members of the<br />

body of Christ, each of us is responsible for doing our part and all of us are accountable to one another<br />

for our decisions and actions in our ministries. What each of us chooses affects all of us, and the<br />

quality of our relationships reveals the degree to which we are reflecting the image of God in our<br />

common life.<br />

Each of our roles brings with it the capacity and responsibility to make decisions which affect the<br />

lives of others. The more persons are affected by a position, the greater the responsibility within that<br />

position to make choices which respect the dignity and personhood of others. In our polity, clergy and<br />

diaconal ministers have the potential to affect the most people; and, among the clergy, the potential<br />

for affect increases with the position of district superintendent and bishop.<br />

Use and Abuse of Power:<br />

As the power to influence the life of the community increases, so does the potential misuse of<br />

power and the responsibility to use that power with care and integrity. Appropriate use of power can<br />

be seen in the life of Jesus Christ. Clearly, he treated all persons with the equality and respect, and<br />

he used his gifts to confront injustice and to heal woundedness. His ministry brought forth the gifts of<br />

others and brought them to wholeness. He turned no one away. When others placed trust in him, he


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

honored it but was not carried away by it. His life and work announced and built the abiding peace and<br />

justice of God.<br />

While all Christians are baptized into Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection, clergy, in particular,<br />

are called upon to reflect and represent this in the world, by virtue of their ordination. Likewise, when<br />

diaconal ministers deny the call to model Christ’s life and work and the power that ordination and<br />

consecration bring, they also deny the necessity of greater responsibility and accountability in their<br />

relationships within the church and the world. This denial becomes the foundation for the potential<br />

misuse of power that is present in the ordained and diaconal ministerial offices.<br />

Whenever a person is in a position of leadership, that is whenever any Christian has the ability,<br />

authority and responsibility to make (or help make) decisions which affect the lives of others, abuse<br />

of power becomes a temptation. Any decision or action which, if made public, would be experienced<br />

by others as disrespectful, coercive, patronizing, exploitive and/or lacking in due process is an abuse<br />

of power. Such behavior and attitudes are unethical and unacceptable. At the very least, they threaten<br />

the relationship between the leader and the one betrayed. At the most, such betrayals of trust in the<br />

leader’s office can destroy others’ images of and faith in God. This is especially true in, though not<br />

confined to, cases where the clergy and diaconal ministers cross sexual boundaries and abuse those<br />

who trust them for guidance, comfort and healing.<br />

Response to Abuse of Power:<br />

Abuse of power, position and trust demands justice within the faith community. Our response to<br />

such abuse must begin with unconditional love for one another as children of God, followed by a<br />

process of negotiation in which conditions for living together are set so that ultimately trust can be<br />

reestablished. We understand this process to be a hoped-for outcome of forgiveness. In forgiveness,<br />

the dignity of each party is respected. The hoped-for outcome of forgiveness can be achieved only<br />

if all parties are able to own their feelings and actions with honesty and to be open to the possibility<br />

of restoration. Also, the terms for restoration must be mutually acceptable.<br />

Even as we move toward human forgiveness, any process which moves toward reconciliation at<br />

the expense of anyone in the community must be rejected as unjust and unfaithful.<br />

God’s Gift of Grace:<br />

Finally, we understand that it is only by God’s grace that we are able to live and work in the<br />

community of faith. God creates, calls, gives, blesses, forgives, guides and teaches us. In our<br />

relationships with one another and with God, we will fail to be faithful because we are human. Grace<br />

is the gift of God which enables us to confess our wrongdoing and grants us the courage to learn and<br />

grow from our experiences. It is grace which moves us to seek help and healing and frees us to trust<br />

again. It is grace which makes it possible to accept our callings and our responsibilities and embrace<br />

them with gladness. It is grace which allows us to celebrate and uphold one another even as we face<br />

the trials of learning to be God’s faithful community.<br />

II. EDUCATION AND PREVENTION - PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES FOR<br />

CLERGY, DIACONAL MINISTERS, AND CONGREGATIONS<br />

A. Introduction<br />

Education and awareness for clergy, diaconal ministers, and congregations are key elements<br />

in understanding the dynamics of power and sexual abuse. To be effective in preventing power<br />

and sexual abuse, education and training of congregations must be a priority for the church.<br />

This education should include knowledge of ethical guidelines, standards, and training in<br />

personal emotional health care for the clergy and diaconal ministers.<br />

B. Congregations<br />

Congregations are encouraged to adopt policies which show their concern for both their health<br />

and that of their clergy and diaconal ministers. To properly prepare a congregation to use its<br />

leadership wisely, conference and district resources and leadership are helpful.<br />

239


240<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Congregations are encouraged to develop the following processes:<br />

1. conduct their own self-study for assessing expectations and policies for<br />

leadership; this would include an awareness of clergy and diaconal ministers<br />

as human beings whose whole person consists of a variety of talents, skills,<br />

faults, emotions, and experiences;<br />

2. establish clear and realistic expectations for leaders; i.e. their work loads,<br />

skills, etc.<br />

3. ensure the training of the Staff/Pastor Parish Relations Committee in<br />

expectations regarding appropriate professional behavior;<br />

4. encourage clergy, diaconal ministers, and other professional leaders to ask<br />

for and use support from the community within the congregation and in the<br />

community;<br />

5. educate clergy and diaconal ministers to establish safe boundaries within<br />

which to function for the protection of their own emotional and physical health<br />

and that of parishioners and counselees.<br />

C. Training, Education and Support Opportunities<br />

Professional training, peer support, and consultation are essential. Clergy and diaconal ministers<br />

often feel isolated, victimized by circumstances, and personally unsupported and/or lacking<br />

professional options. Under stress they may be particularly at risk to the temptation of violating<br />

the professional role. Sensitive persons function best when a trusting atmosphere allows the<br />

expression of both feelings and the stressors which prompt such feelings.<br />

Clergy and diaconal ministry education needs to emphasize training concerning intimacy;<br />

including the trust which parishioners place in their clergy and diaconal ministers at times of<br />

vulnerability and the issues in the personal lives of clergy and diaconal ministers which place<br />

them at risk to behave inappropriately. Ongoing training which bridges the personal and<br />

professional areas of life and allows for spiritual direction, intellectual care, emotional nurture and<br />

supportive relationships can contribute to a more positive outlook and a greater sense of control<br />

over one's life, destiny and vocational direction.<br />

Some resources for this are:<br />

1. Continuing Education<br />

2. Clinical Pastoral Education<br />

3. School for Ministry<br />

4. Office of Pastoral Care and Counseling<br />

5. Des Moines Pastoral Counseling Center<br />

6. Mental Health Centers<br />

7. Support Groups<br />

8. District and Sub-district Seminars and Workshops<br />

9. American Association of Pastoral Counselors<br />

D. Resources available for counseling ministry<br />

Clergy and diaconal ministers are encouraged to increase their awareness of resources available<br />

for their individual growth and for support of their counseling ministry.<br />

1. Clergy and diaconal ministers who do any in-depth counseling of psychological and<br />

spiritual issues are expected to receive qualified consultation/clinical supervision at<br />

the ratio of one hour for each 8 to 10 hours of counseling performed.<br />

2. It is recommended that no more than 4 to 6 hours per week of counseling be<br />

provided by the congregation-based clergy or diaconal ministers (unless the diaconal<br />

minister's certification and appointment is in counseling).<br />

3. No more than four to six one-hour sessions with any one person are recommended<br />

unless clergy or diaconal ministers are under supervision. In consultation/supervision,


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

E. Self Care<br />

the factors which put clergy or diaconal ministers at risk to behave inappropriately<br />

should be clearly and openly discussed. Situations involving domestic violence, rape,<br />

sexual abuse, and child molestation should be counseled only under supervision and<br />

then to a limited degree. These are best referred as soon as possible to a specialist<br />

by clergy or diaconal ministers.<br />

4. Referral is a vital subject to be learned. Appropriate referral is pastoral care.<br />

Knowledge of the limits of one's ability and time is a strength in ministry. The<br />

professional role and personal life of clergy or diaconal ministers are usually enhanced<br />

when their role is one of pastoral care, concern and spiritual nourishment while<br />

in-depth counseling is handled by an outside professional with whom clergy or<br />

diaconal ministers are familiar. Appropriate referral is a learned skill which can be<br />

appreciated.<br />

5. Guidelines and requirements of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors<br />

(AAPC), 9508A Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22031, should be followed by those doing<br />

pastoral counseling as their major area of ministry. All counseling in the AAPC<br />

procedure is done under clinical supervision.<br />

Persons who are called to ordained and diaconal ministry are those who are attracted to people,<br />

for whom relationships are important and who enjoy the intensity relationships bring to life. At<br />

the same time, those same persons come to relationships with their own histories which include<br />

brokenness. Such conditions are both attributes and detractions and they contribute to the<br />

vulnerability of persons in ministry.<br />

This document outlines the intent to protect the health and authenticity of ordained and diaconal<br />

ministry. This protection requires the ability for clergy and diaconal ministers to live their lives<br />

in a manner which promotes and allows the expression and development of all dimensions of<br />

their humanness: physical, mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual.<br />

Attaining and maintaining of a balance among these dimensions is not an easy task. The ability<br />

to recognize and integrate various and often conflicting thoughts, feelings, wants, and desires,<br />

attractions, and needs is important. The task is then to find a balance between restraint and<br />

desire and the honoring of the commitments that have been made to ministry, marriage, and self.<br />

There are a variety of areas in our lives which can be reference points for assessment of the self.<br />

The following represent some of these areas. (These are expressed in a first person way to<br />

encourage one to ask the questions of oneself.)<br />

1. Spiritual Life:<br />

Does my prayer life include reflection on my sexual feelings and thoughts? Am I<br />

setting time for myself to grow in this area? Do I seek opportunities to nourish my<br />

spiritual life?<br />

2. Physical Needs:<br />

Do I get enough sleep? Do I exercise and eat healthily more often than not? Do I<br />

listen to my body? Do I seek medical care when appropriate?<br />

3. Sexuality in Singleness:<br />

Am I aware of my sexual needs? Can I talk about my sexual needs with others? Can<br />

I maintain appropriate boundaries? Do I provide time for intimate relationships?<br />

4. Marriage:<br />

If married, do I give quality time to my marriage? Do I communicate with my spouse<br />

about my sexual needs? Do I know my spouses needs? Do we listen to one another<br />

on a regular basis? Do we share goals?<br />

241


242<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

5. Counseling:<br />

Personal, marital, and family counseling are nearly always profound experiences.<br />

They enhance ministry and reduce the likelihood of problems among professionals.<br />

6. Recreation and Interests:<br />

Do I spend some time on a regular basis outside of church activities? Vacation?<br />

Take days off during the week? Have social relationships and activities beyond the<br />

church?<br />

7. Use of Time:<br />

Does my use of time reflect my priorities? Do I assess the use of my time<br />

occasionally and adjust my patterns if they do not reflect my priorities?<br />

Do I have a balance of my use of time among work, play, family, and reflection?'<br />

8. Anger/Conflict:<br />

Do I have the ability and skills to recognize my own anger and that of others? Do I<br />

know how to respond to anger (my own and others)? Do I respond? Do I need help<br />

here? (A study by the Maces reports this is the highest ranked area of difficulty in<br />

marriages by clergy and spouses.)<br />

9. Peer Relationships:<br />

Do I have them? Am I authentic in some of them? Can I discuss my sexuality with<br />

colleagues? Do I have a consulting relationship with anyone in a formal way? Do I<br />

experience competitiveness with my peers? Do I participate in a supportive setting<br />

regularly?<br />

10. Awareness of Power:<br />

Do I recognize and acknowledge the power and authority that the position and role of<br />

pastor are given? Am I responsible in my use of that power? Do I have a grandiose<br />

concept of my own power? Am I able to surrender power when necessary?<br />

11. Boundaries:<br />

Do I have an awareness of what are appropriate boundaries for the various<br />

relationships I have in personal life, professional life, and counseling work? Do I<br />

utilize them? Do I give myself permission to say 'no' to a telephone call, a meeting,<br />

a sexual invitation?<br />

This list is not exhaustive, but is suggested as a beginning for individual assessment.<br />

III. GLOSSARY<br />

Affidavit: A sworn written statement. It contains the signatures of persons who witnessed the signing.<br />

Allegation: An allegation is an unsupported assertion or accusation. The proper response to a person<br />

presenting an allegation is to give that person information about the process and initiate efforts to<br />

discover if evidence exists to support the allegation. If such evidence is secured, the process moves<br />

the allegation to the next step - a written complaint.<br />

Clergy and Diaconal Minister: A person appointed by the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> to serve a local church<br />

or other approved ministry.<br />

Complaint: This term is defined in the context of 358.1 (a) of The 1996 Book of Discipline. “A<br />

complaint is a written and signed statement claiming misconduct or unsatisfactory performance of<br />

ministerial duties.” “The bishop or district superintendent may receive or initiate complaints about the<br />

performance or character of a clergy person or diaconal minister.”


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

Consequences: Consequences flow from hurtful actions. Some consequences are immutable.<br />

Consideration of protection, justice and reconciliation may indicate that other consequences remain<br />

or be applied. Some consequences may possibly be removed following confession and<br />

spiritual/emotional/behavioral rehabilitation of the wrongdoer.<br />

Due Process: In general terms "due process" means the law of the land. In the context of this<br />

document it refers to the law of The United Methodist Church as set forth in The 1996 Book of<br />

Discipline.<br />

Forgiveness: Forgiveness is the openness of the <strong>Conference</strong> and concerned persons to the power<br />

of the forgiving grace of God. In forgiveness, God’s grace empowers us to work through corrosive<br />

emotions such as confusion, betrayal, hurt, anger, etc. and come once again to see the wrong-doer(s)<br />

as a child(ren) of God.<br />

Forgiveness is from God. It is a spiritual gift which is not controlled by other human beings. However,<br />

forgiveness on the part of the injured parties is hopefully accompanied by confession and selfforgiveness<br />

by the wrong-doer.<br />

Inquiry: An inquiry is a request for information - in the context of this document, a request for<br />

information about the manner in which the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> responds to cases of sexual abuse or<br />

sexual harassment. Such information is to be provided promptly, without pressure or prejudice.<br />

Judicatory Official: An official representative of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, such as the administrative<br />

assistant to the bishop, a district superintendent or any other person trained by the Annual <strong>Conference</strong><br />

who can interpret the institutional process and alternatives to an accused person .<br />

Justice: The ability of an individual, group, and/or institution to respond appropriately to a wrong act.<br />

It includes holding all parties accountable for their actions and, where possible, seeking redress for<br />

the victim(s).<br />

Local Church Consultant: A person skilled in group process and personal relations. This person is<br />

assigned by the bishop to work with the congregation in groups or as individuals, as the case may be.<br />

This person helps the congregation deal with feelings (anger, etc.).<br />

Mandatory Reporter: District Superintendent shall report allegations of sexual abuse by a clergy<br />

person or diaconal minister to the bishop.<br />

Peer Reporting: Neither <strong>Iowa</strong> law nor The Book of Discipline define clergy or diaconal ministers as<br />

mandatory peer reporters of sexual abuse.<br />

Power Abuse: Power resides in a position which confers status, authority, and resources to<br />

accomplish goals and tasks. Power is the ability to move, sway, influence and/or control others.<br />

Power abuse is a failure to recognize unequal power relations. Power abuse occurs when an<br />

individual uses an office or position with its inherent status and authority in a manner which does not<br />

distinguish between the duly assigned responsibilities of the office and the rights of person(s).<br />

Punishment: Punishment is the use of consequences primarily for the purpose of retribution. In light<br />

of the Gospel, punishment and/or retribution appear to be questionable goals of the church. When<br />

individuals and the church have been open to God’s grace of forgiveness, decisions as to what<br />

consequences will remain or be applied are more faithfully made on other basis. (See consequences<br />

above.)<br />

Reconciliation: This is a process designed to restore broken relationships with harmony. It is a new<br />

stage in personal relationships in which previous hostility of mind or estrangement has been put away<br />

in some decisive act.<br />

Rehabilitation: A formal process, planned by the bishop and the Appointive Cabinet, and designed<br />

243


244<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

to guide the persons who have been determined guilty of sexual abuse or harassment in a<br />

comprehensive program of spiritual growth and discernment, personal growth and development by<br />

identifying and confronting the dynamics which led to the abuse or harassment. Such process is<br />

necessary if the clergy person or diaconal minister is to be restored to active ministry. There may be<br />

situations in which this process is deemed inappropriate or not likely to be effective. Rehabilitation is<br />

a possibility, not a right.<br />

Restitution: This is the act of giving an equivalent for loss or damage to an injured person or party.<br />

Restitution may not be required by law or The Book of Discipline, but can be an important part of the<br />

attempt to bring justice to a given situation.<br />

Restoration: The return to active ministry of a clergy person or diaconal minister who has been falsely<br />

accused or one who has completed a rehabilitation process judged successful by the Bishop, the<br />

Appointive Cabinet, and a third party assessment.<br />

Resolution: Resolution implies an informal process of negotiation designed to insure that all parties<br />

are heard and recommendations formulated that will lead toward justice and reconciliation which are<br />

satisfactory to all. “If the bishop determines that the complaint is based on allegations of one or more<br />

offenses listed in 2624.1 of The 1996 Book of Discipline, the bishop may refer the complaint to the<br />

counsel for the church who shall be appointed by the bishop.” (358.1(d)(1) “If the bishop determines<br />

that the complaint is based on allegations of incompetence, ineffectiveness, or unwillingness or<br />

inability to perform ministerial duties, he or she may refer the complaint as an administrative complaint<br />

to the board of ordained ministry for its consideration of remedial or other action.” (358.1(d)(2)<br />

Self Reporting: Confession and self examination are central aspects to our response to the Good<br />

News of Jesus Christ. Thus clergy, diaconal ministers, or other church leaders are asked to report<br />

to a district superintendent or the bishop if and when they become aware that they have acted in a<br />

way(s) that has been sexually abusive or harassing to members of their congregations or staff. Timely<br />

self reporting is in keeping with the grace of Jesus Christ. Timely self reporting has the potential of<br />

reducing damage and speeding the healing for the abused, the abuser, and the congregation. The<br />

bishop shall decide how best to handle this self reporting to promote justice and healing.<br />

Sexual Abuse: The State of <strong>Iowa</strong> has defined sexual exploitation in the <strong>Iowa</strong> Code (705.15). The<br />

terms "therapist" and "counselor," used below, are defined by the Code to include members of the<br />

clergy who provide or purport to provide mental health services as that term is defined in section<br />

709.15 1.d of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Code. The code reads:<br />

Sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist occurs when either or both of the following are<br />

found:<br />

(1) A pattern or practice or scheme of conduct to engage in any of the conduct<br />

described in subparagraph (2) or (3).<br />

(2) Any sexual conduct, with a patient or client or emotionally dependent former<br />

patient or client for the purpose of arousing or satisfying the sexual desires of the<br />

counselor or therapist or the patient or client or emotionally dependent former patient<br />

or client, which includes but is not limited to the following: kissing; touching of the<br />

clothed or unclothed inner thigh, breast, groin, buttock, anus, pubes, or genitals; or a<br />

sex act as defined in section 702.17.<br />

(3) Any sexual conduct with a patient or client or former patient or client within one<br />

year of the termination of the provision of mental health services by the counselor or<br />

therapist for the purpose of arousing or satisfying the sexual desire of the counselor<br />

or therapist or the patient or client or former patient or client which includes but is not<br />

limited to the following: kissing, touching of the clothed or unclothed inner thigh,<br />

breast, groin, buttock, anus, pubes, or genitals; or a sex act as defined in section<br />

702.17.<br />

Sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist does not include touching which is part of a


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

necessary examination or treatment provided a patient or client by a counselor or the therapist<br />

acting within the scope of the practice or employment in which the counselor or therapist is<br />

engaged.<br />

Sexual abuse as used in these procedures means an abuse of power through any conduct or<br />

activity in which the clergy person or diaconal minister violates the free choice, or abuses the<br />

vulnerability of a parishioner, client, church staff person, or colleague so as to cause or allow the<br />

parishioner, client, church staff person, or colleague to engage in one or more of the following<br />

touching with the clergy person or diaconal minister: Kissing; touching of the clothed or unclothed<br />

inner-thigh, breast, groin, buttock, anus, pubes, or genitals; or a sex act as defined in 702.17<br />

of the Code of <strong>Iowa</strong> (1992). Such sexual behavior breaks the sacred trust inherent in ordination.<br />

Any such sexual behavior shall be seen as the offense of sexual abuse by the clergy person or<br />

diaconal minister, who then bears the responsibility for his/her behavior.<br />

Sexual Harassment: With specific references to the work place, the Equal Employment Opportunity<br />

Commission has issued regulations that explicitly forbid sexual harassment (Section 703 of Title VII).<br />

The Commission has established the following criteria for determining what constitutes unlawful sexual<br />

harassment:<br />

Unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a<br />

sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when (1) submission to such conduct is made, either<br />

explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection<br />

of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such an<br />

individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's<br />

work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.<br />

These procedures adopt as a definition of sexual harassment the above-quoted criteria and/or<br />

regulations of The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, with the specification that as applied<br />

in the church setting and in these procedure the foregoing sexual harassment definition includes and<br />

applies to the conduct of clergy persons or diaconal ministers toward: church staff or employees;<br />

parishioners performing volunteer work or services for the church; parishioners who seek counseling<br />

or assistance from the minister; clients; or colleagues. Sexual harassment as thus defined breaks the<br />

sacred trust of ordination. Sexual harassment is to be seen as an offense by the clergy person or<br />

diaconal minister who then bears the responsibility for his/her behavior.<br />

Signed Statement: A written document containing information purported to be true by the person or<br />

persons who have signed it. Such a statement does not contain the signature(s) of witnesses, as an<br />

affidavit does.<br />

Support Person: A person chosen by the aggrieved person or accused person to accompany her/him<br />

through the process, providing support at any meetings. The conference may offer name(s) of<br />

possible support persons, if requested by either the aggrieved or the accused.<br />

Third Party Assessment: A special procedure used at two points: 1. To evaluate a clergy person or<br />

diaconal minister who is guilty of sexual abuse to determine if he/she is likely to benefit from a<br />

rehabilitation process. 2. To evaluate a clergy person or diaconal minister at the conclusion of a<br />

rehabilitation process to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation. This assessment is a part of,<br />

but not the sole factor in determining the possibility of restoration to active ministry.<br />

IV. UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS<br />

358. Complaint Procedures.<br />

1. General Provisions. Ordination and consecration in an Annual <strong>Conference</strong> in the<br />

United Methodist Church is a sacred trust. When this trust is violated, there are<br />

consequences which are detailed in 358 of The Book of Discipline. “The<br />

qualifications and duties of local clergy, associate members, probationary members,<br />

and full members are set forth in The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist<br />

245


246<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Church, and we believe they flow from the gospel as taught by Jesus the Christ and<br />

proclaimed by his Apostles. Whenever a person in any of the above categories,<br />

including those on leaves of all types, honorable or administrative location, or<br />

retirement, is accused of violating this trust, the membership of his/her ministerial<br />

office shall be subject to review.” While diaconal ministers are not specifically<br />

mentioned in disciplinary paragraphs related to complaint procedures, due to actions<br />

taken at the 1996 General <strong>Conference</strong>, it is assumed these complaint procedures are<br />

also applicable to diaconal ministers.<br />

“This review shall have as its purpose the reconciliation and restoration of the<br />

ordained minister and the strengthening of the Church.”<br />

A. SEXUAL ABUSE, WHICH IS AN ABUSE OF POWER, IS NOT<br />

CONDONED by the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>. Such behavior is never<br />

acceptable. The following deal specifically with sexual abuse and/or sexual<br />

harassment.<br />

B. ALL ALLEGATIONS will be taken seriously. If persons believe they have<br />

been the victim of sexual abuse or sexual harassment, they are doing a<br />

service to the church by reporting it. Because of the deep trauma such<br />

persons experience, the church shall do everything possible to assist them<br />

at every step of the process, making sure they understand the procedures<br />

outlined in this document and in The 1996 Book of Discipline .<br />

Complaints (358 of The 1996 Book of Discipline ) will be taken as<br />

worthy of full investigation.<br />

C. PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE shall be maintained until completion<br />

of the process. After that the conclusions reached in the process outlined<br />

in this document and The Book of Discipline shall apply.<br />

D. THE CARE OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED, including the person<br />

bringing the allegation, the accused and her/his family, and the<br />

congregation or institution, shall be a high priority for persons responsible<br />

for the process until all facts have been carefully considered, appropriate<br />

actions determined, and, where appropriate, restoration and reconciliation<br />

for all parties is complete.<br />

E. INQUIRIES REGARDING THE PROCESS are welcome. If a person<br />

thinks he/she may have been the victim of sexual abuse and/or sexual<br />

harassment by a person under appointment by the bishop of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, he/she may inquire of any district superintendent or the<br />

bishop concerning their rights and the processes of The Book of<br />

Discipline of the United Methodist Church and the policies of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> regarding these matters. Such inquiry is welcomed and<br />

superintendents and the bishop shall make available all information without<br />

prejudice to persons inquiring. Inquires about the process need not be<br />

reported to the bishop. Although all allegations, oral or written, must be<br />

reported to the bishop, inquiries about the process need not be.<br />

F. CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LEGAL PROCESSES shall not be impeded or<br />

prevented by this process.<br />

G. CONFIDENTIALITY cannot be guaranteed for the person bringing the<br />

allegation or for the clergy person or diaconal minister. The bishop,<br />

superintendent, Appointive Cabinet, or Staff/Pastor Parish Relations<br />

Committee may find it legally, morally, or ethically necessary to provide


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

V. COMPLAINT PROCEDURES<br />

247<br />

information to others. Care shall be given to protect the identity of the<br />

aggrieved person where such protection does not interfere with due<br />

process. Care also shall be used in working with the accused so that<br />

information is shared only where necessary for due process and support.<br />

H. JUSTICE flows from and is required by the grace of God. Justice is the<br />

goal of this process and is crucial for the life of the church. When a wrong<br />

has been done, principles of justice must be adhered to for the victim and<br />

the abuser. In the past, church structures have been better at outlining a<br />

process of justice for clergy against whom allegations have been made<br />

than they have for victims of abuse. This is contrary to God's special<br />

concern for those who have been wronged. Without justice for the victim,<br />

the possibility of true forgiveness and reconciliation is lost. Justice<br />

includes: recognizing that a wrong has been done, following a process that<br />

calls the wrong doer to account, and requiring that restitution be made in<br />

whatever ways possible. When all these are present, they provide the best<br />

environment in which the healing process can occur.<br />

I. FORGIVENESS is available to all who have sinned and who repent of<br />

their sin. A clergy person or diaconal minister involved in sexual abuse<br />

and/or sexual harassment may receive this forgiveness like anyone else.<br />

Forgiveness does not mean avoiding the consequences of actions which<br />

betray the ministerial office or amount to professional misconduct. The<br />

path toward forgiveness is found in justice and includes: admitting wrong<br />

doing, recognizing and acceptance of the consequences of one's actions,<br />

making whatever restitution is possible, seeking evaluation of the cause of<br />

the misconduct, and participating in whatever rehabilitation is required.<br />

When this is done, it is appropriate to request forgiveness from and seek<br />

reconciliation with the victim, with the local church or institution where the<br />

clergy person or diaconal minister served, and with colleagues.<br />

Forgiveness is possible whether or not the clergy person or diaconal<br />

minister is permitted to continue in l ministry. Forgiveness is not to be<br />

equated with restoration to ministry.<br />

J. RECONCILIATION is the restoration of all relationships which have been<br />

broken. Recognition of brokenness by all parties involved and some<br />

healing of the brokenness must occur before reconciliation becomes<br />

possible. Reconciliation cannot be guaranteed, but it can be worked<br />

toward and can be received by all parties as a gift of God's grace.<br />

A. SUPERVISORY PROCESS (358.1(a) & (b) The 1996 Book of Discipline of the<br />

United Methodist Church) While diaconal ministers are not specifically mentioned<br />

in disciplinary paragraphs related to complaint procedures, due to actions taken at the<br />

1996 General <strong>Conference</strong>, it is assumed these complaint procedures are also<br />

applicable to diaconal ministers.<br />

1. “...the bishop or the district superintendent may receive or initiate complaints about<br />

the performance or character of a clergyperson...” “The person filing the complaint and<br />

the clergyperson shall be informed by the district superintendent or bishop of the<br />

process for filing the complaint and its purpose.”<br />

2. “The supervisory response is pastoral and administrative and shall be directed<br />

toward a just resolution and/or reconciliation among all parties...At any meetings... the<br />

person against whom the complaint was made may choose another person to


248<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

accompany him or her with the right to voice; the person making the complaint shall<br />

have the right to choose a person to accompany him or her with the right to voice.”<br />

The bishop may offer a person trained by the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> to the<br />

aggrieved and the accused to acquaint him or her with the disciplinary process.<br />

3. “The supervisory response should be carried out by the bishop and district<br />

superintendent in a confidential and timely manner, with attention to communication<br />

to all parties regarding the complaint and the process.”<br />

4. “At the determination of the bishop, persons with qualifications and experience in<br />

assessment, intervention , or healing may be selected to assist in the supervisory<br />

response.”<br />

5. “The bishop also may consult the committee on pastor-parish relations for clergy,...<br />

[or] appropriate personnel committee or other persons who may be helpful.”<br />

6. “The supervisory response also may include mediation in which the parties are<br />

assisted in reaching a settlement or agreement satisfactory to all parties by a trained,<br />

neutral party mediator or mediation team.”<br />

7. “Referral of Complaint: If a supervisory response does not achieve resolution and/or<br />

reconciliation, the bishop may refer the complaint based on the following criteria:<br />

a. “If a bishop determines that the complaint is based on one or more<br />

offenses listed in 2624 (The Book of Discipline), the bishop may refer<br />

the complaint to the counsel for the church who shall be appointed by the<br />

bishop.” (358.1(d)(1).<br />

b. “If the bishop determines that the complaint is based on allegations of<br />

incompetence, ineffectiveness, or unwillingness or inability to perform<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer/Statistician<br />

Charles W. Smith<br />

Bishop Jordan, lay and clergy members of this <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, as I began researching<br />

information for this report, I was reminded that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and<br />

that Jesus Christ told us that he was anointed to "preach the Good News to the poor." He was sent<br />

to "proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who were<br />

oppressed to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Paul told us that "we are the body of Christ."<br />

For me this means our purpose as an Annual <strong>Conference</strong> is to make disciples for Jesus Christ by<br />

equipping our local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local<br />

church. We do all of this to the glory of God.<br />

I believe the <strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer’s office is involved in what is called a ministry of administration.<br />

Administration is understandably not as obvious a form of ministry as many of the nurture, outreach<br />

and witness ministries of our churches. What ministry of administration means to me is that we provide<br />

vital support services for mission in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible. Our task is to<br />

help provide a conduit for resources and a connection for ministry from local churches to the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> and the world. A healthy local church and a healthy conference are not just in ministry at<br />

one place but are intentionally in ministry beyond its own community and conference border.<br />

As an Annual <strong>Conference</strong> we are called to make disciples for Jesus Christ. How did we do in 1997,<br />

in responding to that call? As a <strong>Conference</strong> Statistician I cannot answer the question on how we did<br />

in personal faith development or even in our own personal stewardship growth. What I can report are<br />

the numbers that give us an indication of how we are doing. (1) We can rejoice that for the second<br />

year in a row our Annual <strong>Conference</strong> has shown a membership growth. In 1997, we increased our<br />

local church membership by 125 people. We now have 202,875 members. (2) What I find even more<br />

encouraging is that in 1997, the number of baptisms increased by 295 (total 4,046) and the number<br />

of people enrolled in confirmation classes increased by 190 (total 3, 882).<br />

Unfortunately, average attendance at worship services decreased in 1997. I cannot help but wonder<br />

if the heavy snows in early 1997, might have had an effect on that attendance. (3) Yet, we can still<br />

rejoice that on an average worship week you are connected with 76,422 other people in our<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>. Disciple making is occurring in <strong>Iowa</strong>, and I think we can give the glory to God.<br />

As the church, we are called to equip ourselves for mission. Again, I cannot report on the changes in<br />

attitudes in local churches regarding our mission and outreach; but, I can share with you some<br />

numbers that indicate how well we are equipped. (4) When we add together the value of all the United<br />

Methodist church property in <strong>Iowa</strong>, and the value of church-owned parsonages, and the value of local<br />

church assets such as saving accounts, CD’s, treasury notes, stock and bonds, collectively our<br />

assets increased by $28.6 million ($28,637,182). Our assets are valued at $605.9 million<br />

($605,925,747). As <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodists’ we have the people and financial resources to do<br />

whatever we know God calls us to do.<br />

Our task in the treasurer’s office is to provide vital support services for the mission of the church. (5)<br />

This year your <strong>Conference</strong> Treasurer’s office received a total of $21.5 million ($21,559,640) from local<br />

churches -- that is equal to $106.27 per member. Of that amount only 51.8% was received for<br />

apportionments. (6) The balance 48.2% came from sources like Advance Specials, special gifts, direct<br />

249


250<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

billing for local church clergy and lay employee benefits and fees for services. This year for the first<br />

time our office has prepared and placed in your <strong>Conference</strong> packet a Financial Report. You may want<br />

to look through that report for more details about the finances of the conference.<br />

(7) The apportionment receipts for 1997 did decline by 2%. We received for Ministerial Support 95%<br />

(0.9% decline), Administrative Ministries received 86.8% (1% decline), other ministries received 82.3%<br />

(2.6% decline). What concerns me the most is that World Service and <strong>Conference</strong> Benevolences<br />

declined by 3.2% in which we received 80.7% for 1997. Over the last two years, World Service and<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Benevolences have decreased a total of 7%. This of course places stress on many of our<br />

conference programs whose funding is dependent on this source of revenue.<br />

(8) Even with the decline in apportionments I can report that as of this date 75% of the local churches<br />

have paid their 1997 apportionments at 100% and some others have indicated to me their intention<br />

to pay them in full. Again we can rejoice in our shared ministry by giving God the glory.<br />

Our ministry in the <strong>Conference</strong> office is to provide efficient, cost-effective support services. To this end<br />

we have assembled a staff that is qualified for their work and dedicated to the mission of the church.<br />

Without them my job would be impossible and our office would not be able to complete the multiple<br />

number of tasks we are asked to complete. A few years ago I would be introducing a staff of 14 fulltime<br />

employees, but today the tasks are being completed by 9 full-time and one part-time employees.<br />

They are: Russell Hinshaw, Assistant Treasurer/Controller; Roland Minshall, Computer Systems<br />

Manager; Margaret Biggs, Senior Staff Accountant; Richard Hartness, Accounts Payable; Diane<br />

Brockmeyer, Benefits Secretary; Julie Ann Houlahan, Central Services Director; Cynthia Davis, Staff<br />

Secretary; Barbara Higgins, Receptionist; Jill Stanton, <strong>Journal</strong> Editor/Data Manager.<br />

Finally, on behalf of the Administrative Services Department I want to thank each of you. Your support<br />

and efforts over this past year means so very much to us. As we serve in a ministry of administration<br />

and you serve in your various capacities, together we can fulfill our purpose of making disciples,<br />

equipping local churches for mission, providing a connection beyond our local setting and always<br />

remembering that God is the creator and sustainer of our life. Together, through our apportionments,<br />

we can help make disciples, set prisoners free, really make it a year of the Lord and we do it all for the<br />

glory of God. Thank you.<br />

Laity Address<br />

Margaret Meyer, <strong>Conference</strong> Lay Leader<br />

Bishop Jordan and Members of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>:<br />

We live within the long stream of Judaic-Christian tradition. From our past we learn what God<br />

expects of us today, and what being faithful is all about. We become part of the celebrating and the<br />

living of the story when we have found our place within it. We are a people who put our trust in God<br />

as revealed in Jesus Christ, and because we believe, we want to grow in faith and doctrine.<br />

Just joining or attending a church is not membership in that church. We have to be a living part<br />

of the fellowship, we have to belong in the deepest sense of the word. This does not happen if we only<br />

sit in the pew or stand at the pulpit on Sunday morning. It does not happen even through taking part<br />

in all kinds of groups and programs if we do not make ourselves available to others. We must speak<br />

our hearts to each other, listen to each other, care for each other.<br />

God goes before us, beckoning us into the new world that is already being created, calling us to<br />

join in the challenging work of fashioning it. However, when we are confronted with personal disasters<br />

or with the daily horror stories of society’s ills, we may falter. Hope may seem to be unrealistic. Yet<br />

our hope is not in trends. Our hope is in the Lord of all creation and all history -- a God who is still in<br />

charge and actively at work transforming the world. The apostle Paul wrote that the church is like a<br />

human body. As members of the church we are likened to different parts of the body. This image<br />

means that the church is alive. It is not a building, a program, or a list of names. The church is a living<br />

organism, an integrated whole like the human body.<br />

It has virtues, but it also has faults. It may be wounded, and it may also be healed. It has dreams<br />

and works toward making these dreams come true, but it often falls short. God’s Spirit enables us to


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

accept that life, doesn’t have to be perfect to be good.<br />

Imperfect, as it is, the community of believers nevertheless provides the best clue we have to<br />

God’s vision. Day after day, we see deeds of Christian courage, of compassion, and reconciliation,<br />

of integrity in the face of temptation, and of witness for truth and justice -- from random acts of<br />

kindness by individuals to the worldwide family’s growth in tolerance and cooperation. We see the<br />

church as a sign of the Kingdom. We witness small acts of kindness that turn into big miracles of love!<br />

We love with our hearts and it all starts there, but it takes more than just caring thoughts. It is in<br />

the actions of our hands that our caring becomes concrete. God would have us reach out with acts<br />

of kindness so that others would be filled with hope and love, a contagious love that would extend to<br />

all people everywhere. The message is not merely to celebrate love, but to love others, especially the<br />

needy. The message doesn’t end with something you know, but something you do!<br />

You don’t find too many needy people in the church -- the kind that Jesus described in Matthew<br />

25:31-46 -- hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless, prisoners, sick. The message is to go outside the church<br />

and express God’s love in mission to the needy. The greatest thing that could happen in any church<br />

would be for the members to go outside the building and perform acts of love which would inspire<br />

others to perform more acts of love, which just might help create a world of love. I believe that is what<br />

God’s wants for our world. What do you think?<br />

That, my sisters and brothers, is what is happening all across the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>. Call it "Love<br />

in Action" or "Faith at Work" it is definitely a combination of hearts and hands. Whenever we are fueled<br />

by the power of God’s love in our hearts, we are ready and able to serve with our hands.<br />

In the Creston District is the only, one example of many similar hearts and hands projects in the<br />

other districts. Eight people from Winterset UMC, along with volunteers from other parts of the district,<br />

rebuilt the roof of the Kellerton UMC. They had to completely strip the roof before shingling, as well<br />

as building a sloped roof on the back of the church and doing some painting and fix-up jobs. A week<br />

was spent on the whole project, and the participants had a lot of fun, praising God for the good<br />

weather and for the future of the church. I understand, Lynn, the District Superintendent even spent<br />

part of a day working with the group. That certainly demonstrates partners in ministry, wouldn’t you<br />

say?<br />

Lamont in the Dubuque District was a town that didn’t have a restaurant, and it really needed one.<br />

Sparked by the United Methodist Church, with ecumenical response, Common Grounds was born out<br />

of a shared ministry. The work is all done by volunteers, the youth have a wholesome gathering place,<br />

the need for a restaurant has been met, and the community finds itself united in a common goal. Isn’t<br />

this an example of Christians reaching out to a need, putting faith to work, putting love into action?<br />

For three years now, seven Macedonia area churches have sponsored a Good Friday Day Camp<br />

for children. Attendance has increased greatly each year. There kids can learn we are all part of a<br />

chain to tell about Jesus. As members of all churches worked and planned together, some very<br />

special relationships developed. The spirit of cooperation carried over, and three of the churches are<br />

now co-hosting Vacation Bible School. Faith at work!<br />

Another example of many churches across the <strong>Conference</strong>, I’m sure, is St. Mark’s UMC of<br />

Council Bluffs. In presenting the live Nativity during Advent they are sharing the Good News of the<br />

Birth of God’s Son and it is there for all to see and experience. Love in action!<br />

And in my own church, the heart of a thirteen-year-old girl was fired by love when she heard the<br />

story of medical help going to a children’s hospital in Providenya, Russia. She put her hands to work,<br />

and eight months later she presented $100 to the adult Sunday School class that had initiated the<br />

project. Hearts and hands providing love and witnessing faith.<br />

Permit me to share with you a translation of two verses from a Brazilian hymn:<br />

God calls his people now to a new life<br />

Walking along together hand in hand;<br />

The time is ripe for changing, the moment is now,<br />

Let’s walk together; no one can walk alone!<br />

The power today that makes new life burst forth<br />

Is now in us through the gift of grace.<br />

It is God who calls us to work together for justice.<br />

Let’s walk together; no one can go alone!<br />

IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

Inez Dawes, writing in a recent Council Bluffs District newsletter had this to say: "The people who<br />

know God’s love, the people of the church, are called to the work of transforming the world. Let’s get<br />

organized and get going!"<br />

At the turn of the 21st century, a lively partnership of lay people and clergy in the United<br />

Methodist Church is essential. We need a "leader-full" organization. Not everyone doing everything,<br />

but each person adding to the mix and increasing the church’s energy, ideas, gifts, and ministry. "And<br />

they’ll know we are Christians by our love!" Indeed, let us come and join hands in love and faith, laity<br />

and clergy together. No one can walk alone!<br />

Cabinet Address<br />

Lynn Ryon, Dean of the Cabinet<br />

Truly a lively partnership we are, Margaret. Bishop Jordan and members of this Annual<br />

<strong>Conference</strong>, getting organized is what we are doing, as <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodists, laity and clergy<br />

together hear Christ’s call and with hearts and hands eagerly and faithfully give their time, their<br />

resources -- their lives -- to works of faith and love in the world while doing the work of worship and<br />

witness through their church.<br />

People of Christ -- United Methodists -- look around you and see who we are and what we are<br />

doing as we have been doing the work to which we have been called:<br />

In <strong>Iowa</strong> Falls, Carol Gilbert, working as missions chairperson in her church organized volunteers<br />

for the "Paint a House" project to work on homes of older residents.<br />

In Davenport, the St. John’s clergy and laity started a new worship service that begins at 11:45<br />

a.m. on Sunday mornings. "New Song" is advertised on local contemporary rock radio stations and<br />

brings together another generation of Christians.<br />

Nineteen members of Sioux City, Wesley participated in a Lay Academy organized in their<br />

church to equip them for ministries of caring and nurturing in their community.<br />

The Mobile United Methodists in Ministry in the Ottumwa District have gone and found more work<br />

-- adding a parish nurse ministry to what they do in small towns and rural areas.<br />

In Story County the congregations of Huxley, Slater and Sheldahl with churches of other<br />

denominations have initiated a ministry of partnership with low-income families and single mothers to<br />

provide networks of support and love.<br />

The people of Strahan started their Milk Money Ministry, working with the local school district to<br />

see that every school child will receive daily milk regardless of ability to pay for it.<br />

These ministries and the many others in which United Methodists in <strong>Iowa</strong> are engaged are<br />

making a difference at several different levels in the world. Individual lives experience God’s love in<br />

very practical ways that open them up to transforming possibilities. Clergy and laity partnering in these<br />

ministries are affirming the gifts and callings of every Christian into ministries through the Church and<br />

in our individual lives. Risking and venturing into new ministries is resulting in new energy and vitality<br />

in congregations and among the members. And the legacy of the faithful labor of so many adds to the<br />

bold announcement of living hope rather than endow the negative calls to despair and cynicism heard<br />

so much in these times.<br />

The United Methodist Church in <strong>Iowa</strong> is not in crisis. We live in critical times, and we have before<br />

us critical decisions to make. But our ability to participate in God’s saving work in the world is limited<br />

only by our eagerness to claim that vitality with which the Holy Spirit has empowered us. Our vitality<br />

is the result of our diversity as we receive the gifts which God has provided for us in the varieties of<br />

individuals who answering the call into ministry make up our congregations and their leadership - laity<br />

and clergy.<br />

Read Isaiah 40:25-31. This building has resounded with the sounds of celebration on many<br />

occasions and has seen people brought to their feet with enthusiasm over the triumphs and<br />

accomplishments of teams assembled on this floor. In that tradition let’s do our own waves celebrating<br />

the ways God has raised us up to accomplish God’s work in the world:<br />

If your church like Ladora, Corwith and Odebolt churches started a kid’s club or other ministry<br />

for children this year stand up;<br />

If your church started a new ministry like Humboldt Faith’s English as a Second Language,<br />

Jefferson’s Webb House, Story City’s parish nurse or Williamsburg’s new men’s ministry stand up;<br />

If your church like Sioux City, Whitfield; Low Moor Living Faith or Stanhope Parish participated<br />

with your bi-district field staff or in some other process of visioning stand up;


REPORTS OF CONFERENCE ACTION<br />

If your church like Washington, Lohrville and Boxholm while sustaining damage to your own<br />

building, provided ministry to families in your community hit with troubles from tornadoes, hail storms<br />

and floods stand up;<br />

If your church like Delhi, Ankeny, First and Dubuque, Epworth has had a building project for a<br />

parsonage, new building, family life center or renovation project stand up;<br />

If your church is one of the 303 churches that had a net gain in members in 1997 or baptized at<br />

least one new person in the faith stand up;<br />

If your church has sent individuals or a team of volunteers in mission, sent youth to Appalachia<br />

or some other service project or participated in a Habitat project stand up;<br />

If your members of your church participated in the legislative action network or other forms of<br />

study of issues and speaking to legislators about your concerns about the death penalty, a moratorium<br />

on new gambling enterprises, economic justice stand up;<br />

If your church has had one or more groups of Disciple Bible Study stand up;<br />

If you truly believe God is raising <strong>Iowa</strong> United Methodists up and empowering us as agents of<br />

love to do works of mercy and justice and live lives of faith stand up and sing:<br />

- While we cannot describe God with certainty, we can put into words what God does and how we<br />

experience God’s action in our lives.<br />

GOD CREATES<br />

- In the beginning God created the universe and the creation is ongoing. From the whirling galaxies<br />

to subatomic particles, to the unfathomable wonders of our own minds and bodies - we marvel at<br />

God’s creative wisdom.<br />

GOD SUSTAINS<br />

- God continues to be active in creation, holding all in the everlasting arms. God is involved in our<br />

human history - past, present, and future.<br />

GOD LOVES<br />

- God loves all creation. In particular, God loves humankind, created in the divine image. This love is<br />

like that of a parent. We have followed Jesus in speaking of God as "our Father," but there are times<br />

it seems that God nurtures us in a motherly way as well.<br />

GOD SUFFERS<br />

- Since God is present in creation, God is hurt when any aspect of creation is hurt. God especially<br />

suffers when people are injured. In all violence, abuse, injustice, war, prejudice, hunger, poverty, or<br />

illness, the living God is suffering in our midst. Wherever there is need and suffering, we meet Christ<br />

already at work.<br />

GOD JUDGES<br />

- All human behavior is measured by God’s righteous standards - not only the behavior itself, but also<br />

the motive or "the intent." The Lord of life knows our sin and - judges it.<br />

GOD REDEEMS<br />

- Out of infinite love for each of us, God forgives our own self-destruction and renews us within. God<br />

is reconciling individuals, groups, races, and nations that have been torn apart. God is redeeming all<br />

creation.<br />

GOD REIGNS<br />

- God is the Lord of all creation and of all history. Though it may often seem that the "principalities and<br />

powers" of evil have the stronger hand, we affirm God’s present and future reign.<br />

254 IOWA CONFERENCE - <strong>1998</strong><br />

I. PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE<br />

A. Purpose<br />

XII. RULES OF ORDER<br />

In Genesis, Chapters 1 to 5, God is revealed as Creator and Sustainer of the Universe.<br />

Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the Good<br />

News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight<br />

to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the<br />

Lord.” Paul said, “You are the Body of Christ.”<br />

These Biblical directives mandate a concern for the physical, spiritual, and mental<br />

wholeness of each person and all people and the environment in which they live. Humankind<br />

as co-creator has been given responsibility for the constructive use of all that is and will be. The<br />

Church is the community of all true believers under the Lordship of Christ. It is one holy,<br />

apostolic, and catholic. It is the redemptive fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by<br />

persons divinely called; and, the sacraments are duly administered according to Christ’s own<br />

appointment. Under the discipline of the Holy Spirit, the Church exists to provide an avenue for<br />

worship, an evangelistic spirit for the redemption of the world, and, the edification of believers<br />

through education and a social consciousness.<br />

The United Methodist Church is to be a part of the body of Christ proclaiming God as<br />

Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer as revealed in scripture in the person of Jesus Christ<br />

extending the love, grace and power of God in the world. It requires a denominational and<br />

ecumenical strategy for action in the universe.<br />

B. Structure<br />

II. SESSIONS<br />

1. The <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist Church is structured to carry out<br />

the purpose of the Church, as stated above, to persons and society.<br />

2. The Annual <strong>Conference</strong> and the district structure relates The United Methodist Church<br />

to the congregations and to the direct ministries of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> through the<br />

conference and district agencies.<br />

3. Our structure enables us to communicate and work with all portions of Christ’s Church<br />

and with the religious community in general.<br />

4. Districts, congregations, institutions and agencies are responsible for defining their own<br />

objectives, goals and strategies in line with the conference purpose.<br />

5. The Bishop, the Administrative Assistant, and the District Superintendents, pastors and<br />

lay persons are programming leaders and administrators. Their responsibilities include<br />

working with pastors, congregations, districts and the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> for the fulfillment<br />

of the purpose.<br />

6. The Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Council on Ministries is the basic <strong>Conference</strong> program planning<br />

and coordinating organization. The Council on Ministries through staff members of the<br />

council, boards, agencies and task forces, provides resources in program areas<br />

throughout the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

7. The structure enables the effective utilization of the abilities of all persons in the Church.<br />

A. Regular and special sessions of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Annual <strong>Conference</strong> of The United Methodist<br />

Church shall be held at such times and places as shall be determined in the manner prescribed<br />

in The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church.<br />

1. Opening and Daily Sessions. The organization and program of these sessions shall<br />

be the responsibility of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> Session Committee. The first plenary to<br />

deal with items of legislation shall not be called to order prior to 6:00 p.m. on the Friday

F. Financial Obligation.<br />

1. Percentage payments. Amounts in default, at time of union and thereafter with simple<br />

interest at three percent from the time of union, shall constitute a lien on the defaulting<br />

clergy person’s annuity, and upon his retirement or death the <strong>Conference</strong> Board of<br />

Pensions shall recover the shortage by appropriating the amount of the lien from the<br />

annuity of the involved, subject to the regulations and limitations prescribed by The Book<br />

of Discipline of The United Methodist Church.<br />

2. Proportional payments (619, 637.4). The <strong>Conference</strong> Board of Pensions shall keep<br />

a complete record of all church failures to pay their Ministerial Support Apportionment in<br />

full. The Board shall engage in appropriate educational efforts to inform local church<br />

treasurers and pastors of their responsibility to implement proportional payments of<br />

pastoral compensation when the Ministerial Support Apportionment is not paid in full. This<br />

same principle shall apply to district superintendents in regard to the total for the district<br />

to which they are assigned.<br />

G. Moral and Official Conduct of Clergy. The method of approval of the moral and official<br />

conduct of the clergy members of the <strong>Conference</strong> shall be by means of the Board of Ordained<br />

Ministry making inquiry of each district superintendent about each ordained minister in the<br />

district, and inquiring of the Bishop about each district superintendent, and one report being<br />

made by the Board of Ordained Ministry to the Bishop and the <strong>Conference</strong>. ( 604.4).<br />

counted as vacation time.<br />

2. The vacation year is assumed to be from <strong>Conference</strong> to <strong>Conference</strong>. The pastor and<br />

the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee should discuss the vacation plans of the pastor<br />

early in the conference year so that when it becomes necessary to make pastoral changes<br />

between sessions of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong>, there can be flexibility and understanding of<br />

the new pastor’s vacation.<br />

3. When a change of pastors occurs between annual conference sessions, the vacation<br />

of the incoming pastor should be considered by the pastor, the Pastor-Parish Relations<br />

Committee and the district superintendent with the understanding that the above vacation<br />

schedule need not be followed completely.<br />

J. Continuing Education. Pastors shall be encouraged to continue their education throughout<br />

their career, including a carefully developed personal program of study augmented periodically<br />

by involvement in organized educational activities. In most cases the pastor’s continuing

K. Limitation on Speaking. No person shall speak more than twice on the same question, nor<br />

for more than three minutes at a time without the consent of the <strong>Conference</strong>, nor more than once<br />

a two-thirds vote without debate, at any time, and for any period of duration.<br />

Insofar as possible, laypersons shall be given equal opportunity with clergy in speaking on a<br />

1. When a member from the floor moves to amend a report or a proposal before the<br />

conference, the person presenting the report or proposal that is being amended or his/her<br />

designee, shall be entitled to speak before there is further debate from the floor. When the<br />

report of a committee is under consideration, it shall be entitled to speak before there is<br />

further debate from the floor. When the report of a committee is under consideration, it<br />

shall be the duty of the presiding officer to ascertain when he/she recognizes a member<br />

of the <strong>Conference</strong>, on which side he/she proposes to speak; and he shall not assign the<br />

floor to any member proposing to speak on the same side of the pending question as the<br />

speaker immediately preceding if any member desires to speak on the other side thereof.<br />

2. Except for undebatable motions, no report shall be adopted or question relating to the<br />

same decided without opportunity having been given for at least two speeches for and two<br />

against the said proposal, provided that right is claimed before the chairperson or duly<br />

authorized member representing the committee’s report, if there be such, is presented to<br />

close the debate.<br />

3. When all have spoken who desire to do so, or when (and after) the previous question<br />

has been ordered, the maker of the motion shall be entitled to speak, then the chairperson<br />

and/or duly authorized member or members presenting the committee’s report shall be<br />

entitled to speak before the vote is taken.<br />

M. Previous Question. When any member moves the previous question (that is, that the vote<br />

be now taken on the motion or motions pending), he/she shall indicate to what he/she intends<br />

it to apply, if any secondary motion or motions are also pending. If he/she does not so indicate,<br />

it shall be regarded as applying only to the immediately pending question. This motion shall be<br />

taken without debate, and shall require a two-thirds vote of those present and voting for its<br />

adoption; and if it is adopted, the vote shall be taken on the motion or motions to which it applies<br />

without further debate.<br />

N. Division of Question. Before a vote is taken any member shall have the right to call for<br />

division of any question, if it is subject to such division as he/she indicates. If no member<br />

motion, resolution, or subject shall be entertained until disposition shall have been made of the<br />

one under consideration.<br />

Q. Precedence of Secondary Motions. If any one or more of the following motions shall be<br />

made when one or more other motions are pending, the order of their precedence in relation to<br />

one another shall be the same as the order of their listing below:<br />

1. To fix the time at which the <strong>Conference</strong> shall adjourn. (This motion is subject to<br />

amendment, or it may be laid on the table.)<br />

10. To postpone indefinitely.<br />

R. Substitute Motions. When a resolution or committee report is properly before the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> for consideration and action, even if amendments are pending, a substitute<br />

therefore may be offered by any member moving that the same be substituted for the report,<br />

resolution, or amendment under consideration. This substitute shall be an alternative to what<br />

is before the house.<br />

The <strong>Conference</strong> shall then proceed:<br />

-first to perfect the original report or resolution, including consideration and action upon<br />

any amendments which shall be offered to it.<br />

-the same perfecting process shall then be followed with respect to the substitute.<br />

The questions shall then be put:<br />

-first on the motion to substitute<br />

-followed by the motion to adopt the report or resolution;<br />

provided, however, that the motion for the previous question shall not be in order on<br />

-the adoption of the report or recommendation<br />

-or on making the proposed substitution<br />

until opportunity has been given for at least two members to speak on each side of the<br />

question of substitution or adoption.<br />

S. Reconsideration. A motion to reconsider an action of the <strong>Conference</strong> shall be in order at<br />

any time if offered by a member who voted with the prevailing side. If the motion proposed to be<br />

reconsidered is non-debatable, the motion to reconsider may not be debated.<br />

T. Suspension of Rules. Any of these Rules of Order and Standing Rules may be suspended<br />

for the immediate business under consideration by a two-thirds majority vote.<br />

U. Amendments. The Plan of Organization, Rules of Order and Standing Rules may be<br />

amended at any session of the Annual <strong>Conference</strong> by a vote of two-thirds of members present<br />

and voting, providing that one day’s notice has been given and the proposed change or<br />

amendment has been submitted in writing, and a report has been given thereon by the<br />

Committee on Rules of Order.<br />

V. Parliamentary Rules. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Rules of Order shall be<br />

those of the last preceding General <strong>Conference</strong>, as far as they may be applicable, and Robert’s<br />

Rules of Order.<br />

W. Equalization of <strong>Conference</strong> Membership. In order to equalize the membership of the <strong>Iowa</strong><br />

Annual <strong>Conference</strong> between the ministerial members and the lay members pursuant to<br />

Pensions. For conferences no longer in existence, abbreviations are formed in similar fashion. Where a<br />

conference has changed its name without changing boundaries, the current or latest conference name is used.<br />

Thus, for example, <strong>Iowa</strong>-Des Moines <strong>Conference</strong> becomes South <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Conference</strong>, and Rock River <strong>Conference</strong><br />

becomes Northern Illinois <strong>Conference</strong>.<br />

PART II PERTAINING TO ORDAINED MINISTERS AND LOCAL PASTORS<br />

Yes, attested to by means of signed statements from the District Superintendents<br />

call to moral excellence in the lives of pastors. We gladly offer our signatures to answer<br />

this question, knowing that only by the grace of God can any of us be blameless in our<br />

life and official administration. Obviously, we make no judgment about the moral character<br />

of pastors who are involved in supervisory correction or involved in judicial or<br />

administrative complaint processes.<br />
