I wake up every day amazed and humbled that I have been honored to serve in this<br />
sacred office. I am doing “my best” to make the IPHC “the best” it can be! The team that<br />
that God has forged around me, Doug Beacham, Chris Thompson, and Tal Gardner is<br />
truly a denominational “Dream Team”. I am deeply indebted to each of you gentlemen<br />
for the tireless, sacrificial, cooperative, unified, and excellent manner in which you carry<br />
out your leadership assignment in the denomination. I pledge to you, to the IPHC, and<br />
to God, my utmost for His highest!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dr. Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr.<br />
Presiding Bishop<br />

Report to the Executive Committee of the Council of Bishops<br />
Dr. Doug Beacham<br />
April – June 2010<br />
April 2010<br />
Most of the highlights for April were in visiting several IPHC fields in Asia and<br />
Africa.<br />
I was in Singapore for Easter Sunday. Russell Board and I worshipped with the Tim<br />
Salley family at a church they attend in the city. On Saturday of that weekend<br />
Tim Salley, Russell Board, Al Argo, and I met with a Chinese educator who lives in<br />
Singapore and is planning on starting an IPHC Chinese church there in the<br />
future. He has connections with Donavan Ng and this was a fruitful meeting.<br />
The week of April 5-9 I was with our WMM Asian leaders in Bali, Indonesia for the<br />
GKKI General Conference. It was well attended and there was a wonderful<br />
presence of the Lord in the meetings. Rev. Johannes Tarigan was elected as the<br />
new Superintendent of the work in Indonesia. Brother Tarigan is still in his thirties<br />
but has been one of the most effective leaders in the IPHC/GKKI work. Below is a<br />
photo of Brother Tarigan.<br />
Following the GKKI General Conference, Russell and I went to Batam, Indonesia<br />
on the weekend of April 10-11 for the dedication service of a new IPHC<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 8 of 132<br />
congregation in this city. Batam is a stronghold of IPHC ministry in Indonesia with<br />
an effective Bible School for church planters and several good congregations.<br />
During the week of April 12-15 I was in Nairobi, Kenya for the historic first General<br />
Conference of the three IPHC Kenyan Conferences. This was the fruitition of<br />
years of labor by Rev. and Mrs. Philip List, Sr. Several hundred were present for<br />
the election of general officials providing vision and unity among the growing<br />
Kenyan IPHC family. Bishop Ayub of the Central Conference was elected as the<br />
first National Superintendent of Kenya. Bishop Ayub and I are pictured below:<br />
On April 16-17 Ernest Turner and I made an overnight trip to Kapoeta, Sudan to<br />
visit the WMM and Hope4Sudan compound. I was very impressed with the<br />
medical facility and entire compound operation there. This is the result of much<br />
labor and investment from Mrs. Lauren Pickens, Rev. Josh Hannah, People to<br />
People Ministries, and WMM missionaries Gary and Alesa Akerman who are<br />
serving there and living on the compound. Mr. Clay Hearn has provided a lot of<br />
assistance at the compound and has just returned from a second stint helping in<br />
this desperate place. Following are some photos of the compound and people<br />
we are helping.<br />

View of Hope4Sudan camp at Kapoeta. <strong>Church</strong> is larger building at left,<br />
medical clinic center, and enclosed compound where missionaries live.<br />
Sudan is one of the most desperately poor countries I have visited. The condition<br />
of the tribal people who still live in their traditional villages is comparable to<br />
turning the clock back to the pre-Industrial age, almost Stone Age conditions.<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 10 of 132<br />
Ernest and I returned on Saturday evening to Nairobi and I preached at Calvary<br />
Worship Centre. The Chinese church, pastored by Iris Chau and Matthew Wong<br />
from Hong Kong, met with us and blessed us with praise music in Chinese.<br />
I left on Monday the 19 th for South Africa and the final week of this year’s SAFARI<br />
program (Semester Abroad for a Radical Impact). It is likely the Lord will give us<br />
three, possibly four missionaries from the 8 who attended this year.<br />
April closed with me returning home and attending the EC COB meeting in<br />
Oklahoma City on the 27 th .<br />
May 2010<br />
The first weekend in May I preached at the Mt. Airy PHC in Mt. Airy, NC. It was a<br />
blessing to be with Pastor Tommy Vass for the three Sunday services. I was very<br />
pleased with the interest and response to my World Missions presentation on<br />
Sunday night.<br />
On May 10 th the first week of Passport to Missions began in Oklahoma City. This<br />
three-week program again surpassed our expectations with students receiving<br />
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, new candidates finding their place in the WMM<br />
system, and local church missions directors getting inspiration and direction.<br />
On the weekend of May 14-16 Susan and I went to South Greenwood PHC as<br />
the church honored her father, Mr. Guy C. Reed, on his 93 rd birthday and for the<br />
decades he has served as the local church missions director.<br />
On May 20-24 Susan joined me as I represented Presiding Bishop Carpenter at<br />
the annual convention of the <strong>Pentecostal</strong> Metodista de Chile in Santiago. This<br />
was a highlight of my ministry and I am thankful for the opportunity to have<br />
represented IPHC at this significant event. Susan and I were given the privilege<br />
of attending the Chilean President’s “State of the Union” address on Friday<br />
morning of our arrival. This was due to the fact that the pastor of the Jotebeche<br />
<strong>Church</strong>, Rev. Eduardo Duran, was appointed by the President as representative<br />
of all Evangelicals/<strong>Pentecostal</strong>s on the President’s advisory board. This is a great<br />
honor for Pastor Duran, a graduate of Emmanuel College and Holmes Bible<br />
College.<br />
June 2010<br />
The weekend of June 3-6 I presided over the Harvest Conference held in Kansas<br />
City, MO.<br />
On June 9 th I attended the opening camp meeting services of the Georgia<br />
Conference Centennial in Franklin Springs. On the 10 th I drove to Browns Summit,<br />
NC for the Cornerstone Conference.<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 11 of 132<br />
On the 13 th I spoke at Trinity Worship Center in Burlington and that evening<br />
hosted a special missions dinner for that congregation.<br />
Over that weekend I learned that Rev. John W. Swails, Jr., had died and that his<br />
funeral was planned for Tuesday, June 15. I returned to Franklin Springs on the<br />
14 th and assisted in the funeral service and was in charge of the grave service. It<br />
was an honor to participate in the funeral of one of the great Bible teachers in<br />
our denominational history as well as the man who was my pastor from age 13-<br />
32.<br />
I left Rev. Swails’ funeral and flew to Los Angeles for the Korean-American<br />
Conference on the 16 th and 17 th . It was a very good conference and I was<br />
pleased to learn more of what the Koreans are doing around the world through<br />
World Agape Mission <strong>Church</strong>. As Bob Cave aptly puts it, “The Koreans have a<br />
parallel universe of missions work!”<br />
On June 24-26 I was in Orlando, Florida for the Sonshine Network Ministries<br />
Conference. It was a special privilege to be present for the honoring of retiring<br />
superintendent Clifton Smith and his wife Marion. On the 27 th I preached at<br />
Victory Christian Center in Tampa pastored by Rev. Dan Dempsey.<br />
On June 28 I flew to Haiti to visit the IPHC relief effort in this stricken nation. More<br />
of that report will follow.<br />

REPORT OF D. CHRIS THOMPSON<br />
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF EVUSA<br />
APRIL-MAY-JUNE, 2010<br />
I am really excited about these three months. I have been able to settle down into<br />
ministry and to get more into a normal routine. It has been my joy to serve in<br />
EVUSA. I have met many new people during these months. We have some<br />
powerful men and women of God serving in the IPHC. I am amazed at the working<br />
of the Holy Spirit in so many places.<br />
I am learning to appreciate my staff more and more. Garry Bryant and Nina<br />
Brewsaugh are ministering far beyond my expectations and I expected much from<br />
them. Thank you, Rick, David, Stacy, Hugh and Gary for a job well done. I am<br />
extremely thankful. Cristabel is such a blessing in the office and in ACTS2DAY. We<br />
recently hired Sandra Cano to replace Claudia who is getting married. Sandra is a<br />
great administrator and has a heart for the Lord. She will do well.<br />
Pray much for the two part-time people yet to be hired – INE and EVUSA. We must<br />
get the positions filled and with the right people. We must get our team complete<br />
so we can move on and so some of our team may be released from so many extra<br />
duties.<br />
Reports are coming in on new churches. Praise the Lord! May the reports flourish.<br />
New churches are being started. We are seeing this in all categories – Caucasian,<br />
Hispanic and African-American. Praise the Lord! A new Filipino District has been<br />
birthed. It shows great promise.<br />
I am excited about the possibility to assist several of our conferences –<br />
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Mid-south and Mississippi. We have begun work with the<br />
Pennsylvania Conference. The team and I have been praying for this to happen.<br />
An excellent prayer retreat has been held with Pennsylvania.<br />
It has been a joy to work with the GMC Bishops – Presiding Bishop Carpenter,<br />
Beacham and Gardner. Brother Carpenter is so supportive and encouraging.<br />
Brother Beacham and I are enjoying working with the GO Offering together. We<br />
are planning projects together with Bishop Gardner – youth, etc. The team of the<br />
GMC Bishops is moving forward together.<br />
Brother Hilliard moves the week of July 2nd. He is off to a great start. He will<br />
make a valuable member of the team.<br />
All of us here in EVUSA have had challenges with the weather. Gary, Stacy, David<br />
and I have to replace roofs due to hail damage. Many are in worse shape. We are<br />
blessed.<br />

delightful three months.<br />

us for three meetings across the EVUSA. The Coalition of Capital City <strong>Church</strong>es (C-<br />

REPORT TO THE COUNCIL OF BISHOPS [COB]<br />
INTERNATIONAL PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS CHURCH, INC.<br />
BISHOP J. TALMADGE GARDNER<br />
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES DIVISION<br />
& CORPORATE TREASURER<br />
APRIL – JUNE 2010<br />
Dear fellow Council of Bishops’ members, I consider it a privilege to serve our <strong>International</strong><br />
<strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> church family alongside you.<br />
Listed below you will find a summary of some of my activities for the time referenced above.<br />
CHURCH INSTITUTIONS<br />
As the designated liaison to our Educational and Benevolent Institutions I have become keenly<br />
aware of the season of GRACE in which our institutions find themselves. My personal opinion<br />
is that this season of favor is due to the leaders God has providentially positioned to provide<br />
vision and leadership for these ministries at this juncture.<br />
We congratulate Dr. Ed Huckeby on his inauguration as SCU’s eleventh President. You are<br />
going to be impressed as you watch this man lead SCU to a new dimension of influence in our<br />
church.<br />
We also owe outgoing SCU Board of Regents Chairman, Dr. Dan Beller, our deep gratitude for<br />
the leadership that he provided his alma-mater during his tenure as Chairman. Dr. Beller, in my<br />
opinion, is the personification of a true church Statesman! As such he has made many great<br />
contributions to our church – his Chairmanship of SCU's Board of Regents during the search for<br />
SCU's 11th President may have been his crowning achievement. From what I have observed so<br />
far, he got it right as I am more optimistic about the future of SCU than ever before.<br />
We congratulate the new chairman David Burrows, the son of Rev. Damon Burrows, Sr. David’s<br />
business acumen and ministry passion will serve SCU’s vision well.<br />
In addition, on June 7, 2010, SCU issued a news release announcing the selection of Dr. Terry<br />
Tramel as Dean of the Graduate School of Ministry, effective July 1 st . Dr. Tramel’s professional<br />
and personal ministry experience are a natural fit for this new leadership assignment of<br />
preparing Christian leaders for kingdom effectiveness.<br />
In alphabetical order below you will find a few highlighted comments from our church<br />
institution leaders. You will also be privileged to hear from them personally during our<br />
Tuesday morning COB Session. I am grateful for their inclusion in the COB Agenda by<br />
presiding Bishop Carpenter:<br />

REPORT FROM ADVANTAGE COLLEGE<br />
The following is a report from Dr. Dan Greenlee, President of Advantage College:<br />
“While we maintain our base in San Jose, California, we have sixteen extension campuses and<br />
offer on-line courses. We are continuing to network with leading conferences, our INE program<br />
and CURSUM to complete degrees. Within this year we have seen some significant<br />
developments:<br />
• The Golden West Conference with Dr. Curtis Belcher graduated 28 students<br />
through their school of ministry and Advantage College. Another class is<br />
preparing for graduation.<br />
• The South Carolina Conference School of Ministry graduated 11 students<br />
and will be graduating 26 students in Malaysia. Rev. Dean Morgan is their<br />
director.<br />
• In April, Rev. Sabu Abraham, Bishop Roger Halvorson and I were present as<br />
28 students graduated from our school in Rainy, India. All of these students<br />
are pastors and will be adding to the 100 churches already planted there.<br />
• In August, Dr. Bill Terry, our field director, will be graduating 78 students<br />
with Metropolitan Christian Bible Institute. This is a quality class of African-<br />
American leaders in St. Louis. The director is also a public school<br />
teacher/pastor and one of our graduates.<br />
• In May, Dr. Bill Terry graduated 47 students in Minneapolis, Minnesota,<br />
with the Northern Plains District of our Hispanic leaders. Their<br />
students completed the INE program and took further classes to complete<br />
their degrees.<br />
• This year 46 students have completed degrees in our school in Mexicali,<br />
Mexico. We have several strong churches in Mexicali with gifted<br />
emerging leaders. We are grateful to Rev. Dan Clowers for his oversight and<br />
leadership there.<br />
• Rev. Greg Terry continues to coordinate the schools of ministry in Kiev,<br />
Ukraine and Talin, Estonia, with more than 60 students graduating this year.<br />
• This quarter, 20 students will be graduating on the San Jose, California<br />
campus. We anticipate 30 students on campus for the fall quarter.<br />
This year Advantage College is graduating more than 300 students for the<br />
Kingdom of God and the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. We are<br />
grateful for the support and encouragement of our leaders.<br />
REPORT FROM EMMANUEL COLLEGE<br />
The following was sent to us from President Michael Stewart at Emmanuel College:<br />
• Spring Enrollment – 707<br />
• Total Graduates (Bachelors and Associates) – 130<br />
• Groundbreaking held for a new 100 bed residence hall. Construction should begin<br />
in August 2010. This hall is over 47,000 square feet and will feature private rooms<br />
and a large commons area. Target for completion is August 2011.<br />
• Several major projects and upgrades are scheduled for the campus facilities this<br />
summer<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 17 of 132<br />
• We hired Three New Vice Presidents –<br />
Dr. John Henzel – Academics<br />
Dr. Kevin Crawford – Finance<br />
Ms. Wendy Vinson – Enrollment and Marketing<br />
• Early Registration for the Fall semester totals over 180 – we are anticipating 225<br />
Freshmen<br />
This is an exciting time at EC!<br />
REPORT FROM FALCON CHILDREN’S HOME<br />
The following was submitted by Joey Leggett, CEO of Falcon Children’s Home:<br />
I continue to be extremely grateful for the opportunity of ministry that Bishop Talmadge<br />
Gardner and the Falcon Children’s Home Board have entrusted to me in serving at<br />
Falcon Children’s Home. It has been a very busy and exciting past four months. God is<br />
truly up to something at Falcon Children’s Home. This is evidenced by the recent revival<br />
we held on campus to open the beginning of the summer program. We had 20 confessed<br />
salvations and numerous recommitments from our students! God is blessing our campus<br />
in so many ways.<br />
On March 5 th , I led a delegation from Falcon Children’s Home to San Francisco,<br />
California, to accept our Eagle Accreditation from the Methodist Association. We are, for<br />
the first time in over 15 years, an accredited children’s home. It was a privilege to be able<br />
to share the history of Falcon Children’s Home with the Methodist conference. Because of<br />
our newly recognized accreditation status we are now able to apply for a one-hundred<br />
thousand dollar grant from the Duke Endowment fund.<br />
Our census has remained stable during the last few months – reaching our highest total<br />
in nearly twenty years at 72. Presently our census is 63 because some students departed<br />
when the school year was completed. We held our first graduation ceremony in the<br />
history of Falcon Children’s Home on June 11, 2010. We recognized our High School<br />
graduates as well as our first class of graduates from the GED Program. We are in<br />
ongoing dialogue with the local Superintendent of the County school system about<br />
establishing our own middle school and high school here on campus for the fall semester.<br />
We believe that by having a school on campus, we will be able to reach out to those<br />
children who are finding it difficult to blend into a normal school setting.<br />
Mr. Garland Slate, a former student and employee of Falcon Children’s Home is heading<br />
up a program entitled “Operation Reconnect.” This program’s main objective is to locate,<br />
make contact with and once again hopefully reestablish a relationship with former<br />
students of Falcon Children’s Home. In the words of Mr. Slate “We believe not only that<br />
we owe it to those who have filled our halls in the past, but that we can continue to<br />
impact the “brotherhood” of Falcon Children’s Home for eternity.”<br />
The Falcon Children’s Home Board just recently went through many changes due to the<br />
recent conference elections/changes. Bishop Jimmy Whitfield is the new Chairman of the<br />
board, replacing Bishop Ken Kingrea, who did a wonderful job during his tenure.<br />

who also served with distinction. I personally feel like there could not be a more exciting<br />
time to be a part of the Falcon Children’s Home Board. God is blessing us financially,<br />
numerically, and spiritually.<br />
God is positioning us to forge new trails and ministries that Falcon Children’s Home has<br />
never done before and therefore we are going to reach more children than ever before.<br />
Our Mothers and Babies Program is a perfect example as we have gone from one mother<br />
and two children to six mothers and eight children. I was privileged to speak at the<br />
Fayetteville Area Hospitality Association Meeting recently and after sharing this<br />
program they decided to make our program their charity of choice for the next five years!<br />
They also presented me with a check for $5,000 that day. This epitomizes what is<br />
happening at Falcon Children’s Home. There was a need – we established a program to<br />
meet that need – and now that program is being blessed numerically, financially and<br />
spiritually. Because of this program, a former homeless teen mother gave her heart and<br />
life to Jesus Christ the other night in our revival service.<br />
God is up to something at Falcon Children’s Home!<br />
REPORT FROM SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY<br />
The following report was submitted by Dr. Ed Huckeby, President of SCU.<br />
The future at Southwestern Christian University presents many challenges…and many<br />
opportunities. I am confident that the administration, faculty, staff, and students of SCU<br />
are eager to move forward…honoring the past but not clinging to it…unsure of the<br />
future, but not afraid of it. Since my arrival at the campus on January 4, 2010,<br />
momentum has continued to build. I have experienced significant enthusiasm and truly<br />
supportive attitudes. It has been a busy and exciting few months, and I am confident<br />
that the pace will continue at a “feverish pitch.” However, the work has just begun and<br />
we are excited as we look to the future to see “the vision” come to fruition.<br />
My official inauguration as the eleventh president of Southwestern Christian University<br />
was held on May 7, 2010. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of ten distinguished<br />
presidents and 64 years of rich heritage. I commit to lead Southwestern forward to<br />
become a Christian liberal-arts university focused on “excellence,” affectionately clinging<br />
to the firm cornerstone of the denominational roots on which it was built, but boldly<br />
exploring expansive horizons, opening the doors of the institution to a multitude of new<br />
students from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.<br />
On May 8, 2010, SCU conducted its sixtieth commencement convocation. 21 students<br />
graduated with Master of Ministry degrees, 39 students graduated with Bachelors<br />
degrees, and 3 students graduated with Associate of Arts degrees. The total student<br />
enrollment for the Fall 2009 semester was 337 students. The Admissions department<br />
projects that this number will increase significantly for the upcoming Fall 2010 semester.<br />
Increased enrollment is only one of the many elements bringing excitement and<br />
enthusiasm to the SCU campus.<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 19 of 132<br />
SCU is going through a physical transformation which will be evolving over the next<br />
couple of years. We are making a number of “cosmetic” improvements which will<br />
increase campus appeal to both current and future students, as well as our alumni and<br />
guests. Campus projects that will be completed over the summer months include: library<br />
remodel, additional parking and classroom space, and a campus security system with<br />
identification cards. Additionally, we are in the process of expanding degree options and<br />
adding new degree programs which will attract outstanding students from around the<br />
globe.<br />
Latricia and I have found the moral and spiritual support received during this transition<br />
period to be nothing short of incredible. The IPHC-GMC community, students, faculty,<br />
staff and administrative personnel have welcomed us with open arms. For that we are<br />
extremely grateful and thankful.<br />

DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES DIVISION TEAM/PERSONNEL UPDATE<br />
Mrs. Anna Vaughn tendered her resignation as the Administrative Assistant to our<br />
National Youth & Children’s Ministry Directors at the end of April in order to<br />
accommodate her husband’s pursuit of the Chaplaincy.<br />
The Lord providentially sent Tracey McDonald Todd back to the GMC and<br />
subsequently to the employment of the Discipleship Ministries Division. Tracey’s<br />
experience, attention to detail, familiarity with managing conference events, “can do”<br />
positive attitude and passion for ministry have already made her an indispensable part<br />
of our DMD TEAM. Tracey is an answer to prayer!<br />

under appointment of the conference executive council<br />
as a “full-time”, senior pastor of a local church in said<br />
conference. The person involved must necessarily meet<br />
all the other requirements of the Manual for his eligibility<br />
to serve in this position.<br />
The term full-time in this statement is not to be<br />
construed in regards to financial remuneration but in<br />
contrast to someone who is serving as an “interim”<br />
pastor under appointment of the conference executive<br />
council. A person serving in an “interim” pastoral<br />
position would not be eligible for nomination and<br />
election and/or appointment to the conference executive<br />
council.<br />
‣ Ruling for Golden West Conference<br />
“Council members who have served in one office for<br />
eight years must receive a 2/3 separate vote to set<br />
aside the statue of limitations in order to be eligible for<br />
nomination to the same position. Their name could then<br />
be placed in nomination and they could be elected to the<br />
office with a simple majority vote. They would be eligible<br />
to be nominated and elected by majority vote for other<br />
positions on the Council.”<br />

application. The Board felt the following comments and questions about the Grants Program need to be<br />
addressed -<br />
Criteria should be considered to award grants that provide the best return for the investment.<br />

When awards are made, there needs to be a mechanism to track results from previous awards.<br />
The IPHF needs more financial information on the grant applicants.<br />

I was out of the office this past week and did not forward the following<br />
status. I am uncertain what I think of the circumstance, i.e. Grant<br />
Thorton’s delayed response. As we have previously discussed, the<br />
accounting firms that still perform these “relatively” small audits in many<br />
instances reject claims out of hand. Grant Thorton has previously<br />
indicated a willingness to negotiate but that willingness has yet to result in<br />
a response to IPHC’s demand.<br />

Subject: IPHC v Grant Thornton LLP<br />
Bruce:<br />
Today I spoke with Faiyaz Hussain, Senior Counsel, Grant Thornton LLP<br />
on the claim of IPHC against Grant Thornton LLP. It appears that Grant<br />
Thornton LLP has decided to assign a Senior Counsel to address this<br />
claim rather than have an Associate Counsel deal with it part time in<br />
addition to the other administrative duties any an Associate Counsel has.<br />
Mr. Hussain is still spooling up to speed on our claim and was not<br />
prepared today to respond to the settlement demand of IPHC (in the<br />
amount of $577,046.42). Mr. Hussain did attempt some negotiation but<br />
his efforts were unsuccessful as he (a) was not fully aware of all of the<br />
facts and legal arguments we have previously presented, and (b) had to<br />
admit that Grant Thornton LLP owes IPHC a response to its settlement<br />
offer.<br />
Mr. Hussain promised to call back soon with Grant Thornton LLP’s<br />
settlement offer.<br />

Bruce & David,<br />
Please disregard my earlier transmission. My computer was down and I was trying to type an<br />
extended e-mail on my iphone which is not a good idea. I accidentally hit the “SEND” button<br />
before I completed the e-mail. I now have my laptop computer back online so below is the<br />
finished product.<br />
David & Bruce,<br />
Please accept my expression of appreciation on behalf of the IPHC for your diligence in<br />
representing the church. It gives the leadership of the denomination great comfort and<br />
assurance to know that we have such capable counsel. We will all wait patiently for the next<br />
word from the Intermediate Court of Appeals and trust it to be a positive ruling on behalf of<br />
the IPHC. .<br />
Meanwhile, our renewed ministry efforts on the property are in place and progressing at a<br />
rapid pace under the leadership of Rev. & Mrs. Greg Hood and the capable ministry team that<br />
moved with them to the island at the close of last year. The property has been basically<br />
completely remodeled after a significant infusion of funds from the IPHC to purchase<br />
materials and numerous missions trips by 12-15 man work crews from the mainland to<br />
provide the labor. The congregation of the local church on the property has doubled since<br />
January and the future of IPHC ministry on Oahu and the other islands looks extremely<br />
bright. The two of you, Marion & Philip, and your respective law firms have insured that we<br />
could continue rendering quality ministry to the needy and hurting in Hawaii. On behalf of<br />
the church and those in Hawaii who will be blessed by our presence there, I say again,<br />
“Thank You”!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr.<br />

Subject: Re: Redemption Bible College vs IPHC / Appeal Status<br />
Bruce-<br />
<strong>Here</strong> are my enumerated responses to your questions:<br />
1) It has been our experience that appeals to the ICA may take anywhere from two to<br />
four years after briefing has been completed. We note that the ICA's decision on<br />
Redemption Bible College's unsuccessful appeal on lot 349/355 took approximately<br />
two years from close of briefing. Unfortunately, the ICA's decision not to schedule<br />
oral argument in our case does not appear to accelerate the appellate process.<br />
2) We are hopeful that the ICA will affirm the lower court's dismissal. We believe the<br />
Transfer Certificate of Title showing IPHC's ownership of Lot 361 is legally<br />
conclusive. As mentioned previously, our only concern is that the ICA may view Leon<br />
Stewart's declaration claiming HHPPHC was not a church or conference, thus raising<br />
an issue of fact regarding the transfer of Lot 361 from HHPPHC to IPHC. In response<br />
we argued that HHPPHC's articles of incorporation stating it is a conference<br />
organization is determinative of HHPPHC's status.<br />
3) Once a decision is made by the ICA, either party can petition the Hawai`i Supreme<br />
Court for additional review (writ of certiorari), although it is within the Supreme<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 60 of 132<br />
Court's discretion whether to accept an appeal from the ICA.<br />
4) Under our appellate rules a party has to file a writ of certiorari to the Hawai`i<br />
Supreme Court within 90 days of the ICA decision. The Supreme Court is required to<br />
rule on the writ within 45 days of filing.<br />
It is our understanding that the majority of writs are denied by the Supreme Court. In<br />
the unlikely event the Supreme Court accepts the appeal of this case no additional<br />
briefing is generally allowed. Nonetheless, a decision from the Supreme Court may<br />
take several years.<br />
Please contact me if you have any additional questions. Thanks.<br />

Thanks for the notice. For purposes of advising the IPHC Executive Committee as to<br />
the status of this matter, can you advise: (1) the anticipated timing of the Intermediate<br />
Court of Appeals ruling; (2) in your opinion, the probability of the Intermediate Court<br />
of Appeals affirming the lower court’s ruling; (3) if affirmed, can the case be<br />
immediately appealed?; and (4) if so, how long might the latter appeal be pending?<br />
We understand that any opinion you might express with regard to the foregoing, is<br />
simply an opinion. Your assistance and response is appreciated.<br />

Everyone-<br />
The Intermediate Court of Appeals has given notice that oral argument will not<br />
be scheduled in the Redemption Bible College appeal. Essentially, the appeal<br />
will be decided on review of lower court proceedings and the appeal briefs.<br />
Either party can make a request for oral argument, although as appellee, I don't<br />
believe IPHC would necessarily benefit from oral argument on appeal.<br />
Please let me know if you if you have any questions or believe we should make a<br />
request for oral argument.<br />

We honor the men and women who have served and continue to serve the IPHC so<br />
faithfully. We all are obviously standing on the shoulders of others in the past in order to<br />
be where we are today. However, several Bishops had felt their time of service was<br />
complete and had previously announced their intention to leave the office. Therefore,<br />
some degree of change in leadership was inevitable during the 2010 Quadrennial<br />
Conference business sessions.<br />
I felt from the beginning that we would see a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12<br />
new Bishops come into office during this time of transition. The average number would<br />
be 10. We currently have nine new Bishops in place and at least one more to be elected.<br />
That would be at least 10 new Bishops for the coming Quadrennium.<br />
Based upon our total number of USA conferences being 30, it appears that about 30% of<br />
the membership of the Council of Bishops will be new to the office when we meet for the<br />
Fall COB meeting in Oklahoma City. This brings the exciting dimension of youth and<br />
fresh thinking to the Council of Bishops. It also means there will be a need for intentional<br />
training and mentoring to address the learning curve for denominational leadership that<br />
they will obviously encounter. We happily and anxiously anticipate both!<br />
This is another example of the “Convergence Factor” that has been so prominent in my<br />
thinking in recent months. The addition of these new Bishops presents a scenario<br />
conducive to even more positive and expeditious change as the IPHC moves into the<br />
leadership position God has ordained for her in the church-world of the 21 st Century!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr.<br />

CELEBRANDO LA UNIÓN<br />
En un día frío de Enero 1914, La Iglesia de<br />
Santidad <strong>Pentecostal</strong> Bautizado con Fuego<br />
y La Iglesia de Santidad <strong>Pentecostal</strong> se unio<br />
formundo una nueva denominación. Llegaron desde<br />
diferentes ciudades, estados, y trasfondos económicos,<br />
pero tenían una cosa en común. Deseaban el fuego y el<br />
ungimiento del Espírito Santo. No sospechaban el impacto<br />
que su unificación tendría en el futuro del Movimiento<br />
<strong>Pentecostal</strong>.<br />
La iglesia pequeña que comenzó en Falcon, Carolina<br />
del Norte, tiene ahora una membresía de mas de cuatro<br />
millones con 23,000 ministros y 18,000 iglesias en 103<br />
países. En Enero, vamos a celebrar 100 años de unidad<br />
y ministerio en la Iglesia Internacional de Santidad<br />
<strong>Pentecostal</strong>. Nuestros himnos, nuestra ropa, y nuestras<br />
iglesias aparecen diferentes pero una cosa sigue igual.<br />
Nosotros todavía buscamos el fuego y el ungimiento del<br />
Espiritu Santo en nuestra vida.<br />
Júntese con nosotros en el Tabernáculo Octagonal en<br />
Falcon mientras celebramos nuestro pasado y abrazamos<br />
nuestro futuro. Es un evento que no quiere perder.<br />
Lo mejor está en el futuro mientras persiguimos nuestro<br />
destino en El !<br />

Equip Yourself, Others and the <strong>Church</strong><br />
Tuesday- Friday August 24-27, 2010 • Stockholm, Sweden<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 81 of 132<br />
Welcome to Sweden!<br />
We extend to you a cordial invitation to the 22 nd <strong>Pentecostal</strong> World<br />
Conference on August 24-27. This gathering of <strong>Pentecostal</strong>s from<br />
around the world will convene in beautiful Stockholm, Sweden in<br />
the historic Filadelfia <strong>Church</strong>. The church will be celebrating it’s<br />
Centennial on the weekend at the conclusion of the conference.<br />
The Swedish <strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Church</strong> will also have it’s annual leadership<br />
meeting in conjunction with the conference.<br />
The theme for the 22 nd World Conference is Equip Yourself, Others<br />
and the <strong>Church</strong>. As you see from the brochure leading <strong>Pentecostal</strong><br />
leaders from Scandinavia and around the world will focus on preparing<br />
the church for spiritual leadership for this next century. The conference<br />
will provide a wonderful opportunity for worship, training, and fellowship.<br />
Let us join together in prayer as we come together in Stockholm<br />
for the Father to pour out His blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the<br />
conference. We need the wind of the Spirit to sweep over the<br />
<strong>Pentecostal</strong> movement to renew the evangelistic zeal and empower<br />
us for the challenges of this century.<br />
I look forward to seeing you in Stockholm.<br />
Bishop James D. Leggett<br />
Chairman of PWF Executive Committee<br />
We feel happy and proud for the opportunity to alongside with the<br />
entire worldwide <strong>Pentecostal</strong> movement, invite you to a leadership<br />
conference in August 2010. This will be a unique happening where<br />
we will be listening to some of the most influential leader within<br />
the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Pentecostal</strong> movement. You will be meeting with<br />
<strong>Church</strong> leaders from all over the world.<br />
We think that God has something to tell us during these days.<br />
The <strong>Pentecostal</strong> World Conference 2010 is a chance you must not<br />

CHURCH INFORMATION FORM<br />
GUIDELINES<br />
THIS FORM SHOULD BE USED ONLY ONCE FOR EACH NEW CHURCH REPORTED.<br />
The <strong>Church</strong> Information Form (CIF & related Membership/Affiliate Agreement) is to assist the Conference in the<br />
collection/reporting of essential information about new churches and the pastors who lead them. Only information<br />
vital to the work of the IPHC has been requested on the form.<br />
Use a CIF form to report any church that becomes a part of the conference. Use the Member CIF to report<br />
<strong>Church</strong> Plants, and Member Transfers (independent which joins as a member church). Use the Affiliate CIF to<br />
report Affiliate Transfers (independent which joins as an affiliate).<br />
Be sure to complete the form. Incomplete forms defeat the purpose of the CIF, requiring someone to contact your<br />
office again to gather the necessary information.<br />
1. The CIF should only be reported ONE time for each new church. Once the CIF is sent in, the church becomes<br />
a permanent part of our statistical and financial records.<br />
• Do NOT use the CIF to report a new church with fewer than 12 (8 adults) in attendance. These churches<br />
cannot be included in our statistical reports.<br />
• Sending a CIF in more than once leads to duplicate records, especially if the new church has changed its<br />
name, location or pastor since the first report.<br />
• Changes in a church's status (from mission to CTM to Organized or from Affiliate to Member church) are not<br />
significant for our Information Management System. Closure is the only status change that needs to be<br />
reported and that piece of information is collected at the end of each year during the growth stats update.<br />
2. Once the conference has determined that the new church is viable and wishes to include it as part of the<br />
permanent records, the CIF (includes the Membership or Affiliate Agreement) should be filled out and signed by<br />
all appropriate parties.<br />
• Make sure both forms are complete, including signatures. Missing information takes longer to obtain later, not<br />
to mention the inconvenience to all parties involved.<br />
• The EIN (Employer Identification Number) is very important! Without it, the IRS will not accept the church as<br />
part of our tax-exempt umbrella. Make sure a new church applies for that number as soon as practical, since<br />
it can take a while to receive it.<br />
• Use the CIF for your conference records, as well. Mailing information is important for obvious<br />
communications purposes; the physical address of the church is important in order to include the church in<br />
our online database. Without that physical address, visitors cannot obtain directions to the church's worship<br />
location.<br />
3. See detailed instructions for each field on the CIF on page two, below.<br />
4. Mail or fax the completed forms to the GlobalDesk office at 405.789.3957. If you fax the forms, do NOT mail<br />
the originals unless requested to do so (i.e., in the event of fax problems). Duplicate records arriving at different<br />
times increase the risk of errors.<br />
5. The forms are reviewed for completeness. If properly completed and signed, the forms are forwarded to the<br />
Presiding Bishop for his signature and processed into our system. If incomplete, the conference office will be<br />
contacted to obtain the missing information.<br />

2. The top block highlighted with a double border<br />
is reserved for RDC use only. These fields help us<br />
route the information form to all the necessary<br />
ministries.<br />
3. The second line on the form<br />
is reserved for conference use.<br />

7 . The <strong>Church</strong> Mailing<br />
Address block is used to send<br />
promotional materials,<br />
newsletters, etc. directly to the<br />
local church. LSR also uses this<br />
address to contact the local<br />
church with catalogs, etc.<br />
This address can be a post<br />
office box or the pastor’s<br />
home address. It is an address<br />
other than the physical<br />
location address in the block<br />
above. 8 If it is the same as<br />
the physical address, just check<br />
the Same as <strong>Church</strong>’s Physical<br />
Address box.<br />
9 eMail Address field is used<br />
to add the church to our<br />
enews publications mailing list.<br />
Updates are sent out on a<br />
regular basis to all subscribers.<br />
1 When used, the name <strong>Church</strong> Information Form or CIF automatically includes<br />
the Membership or Affiliate Agreement. Both together are a completed<br />
submission. If the agreement is missing or is not signed, the CIF can not be<br />
processed.<br />
Be sure to use the correct form: 1] Member CIF for church plants or transfer<br />
member churches; 2] Affiliate CIF for transfer affiliate churches.<br />
Please note that the CIF need only be submitted once for each new church.<br />

4. The <strong>Church</strong> Physical<br />
Address block is used to<br />
provide contact and mapping<br />
information to visitors through<br />
the online database of local<br />
churches.<br />
Visitors to our website who<br />
live in your area OR members<br />
who are visiting or moving to<br />
your area often use the<br />
database to locate one of our<br />
churches to visit.<br />
The online database provides a<br />
convenient mapping service via<br />
MapQuest, which provides<br />
driving directions to the<br />
church. However, the actual<br />
street address is needed to<br />
provide accurate instructions.<br />
5. The County Name field is<br />
used for statistical mapping and<br />
for national religious surveys<br />
with which we cooperate.<br />
6. If your conference uses<br />
districts, be sure to include the<br />
District Name. This data helps<br />
provide accurate growth<br />
reports for your conference.<br />
10 The Pastor’s Contact<br />
block collects information if<br />
separate from the church’s<br />
mailing address.<br />
If it is the<br />
same as the church’s mailing<br />
address, just check the 11<br />
Same as <strong>Church</strong>’s Mailing<br />
Address box.<br />
12 The eMail Address field<br />
will allow the pastor to<br />
subscribe his/her personal<br />
email address to our enews<br />
publications. If the pastor<br />
would prefer the enews go to<br />
the church email account,<br />
leave this field blank.<br />
15 The Signature block requires the signature of either the pastor or<br />
church secretary. This is not the pastor’s personal secretary, but the <strong>Church</strong>’s<br />
secretary who is empowered to sign legal documents on behalf of the<br />
church.<br />
The same is true for the Conference secretary. This refers to the person<br />
who holds the office of Secretary or Secretary/Treasurer for the conference.<br />
A stamped signature will be accepted if properly initialed by the person<br />
making the stamped image.<br />

Chaplain, Colonel Gary Linsky<br />
United States Air Force<br />
SUBJECT: Endorser input on the Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Legislation and<br />
Practicing Homosexuals Serving in the Military<br />
From: The <strong>International</strong> <strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, Inc.<br />
P. O. Box 12609<br />
Oklahoma City, OK 73157-2609<br />
Dear Chaplain Linsky:<br />
First of all, we want to thank the members of the Comprehensive Review<br />
Working Group for taking the initiative to invite the Chaplain Endorsing Agencies<br />
to express their concerns about the possible impact on the military and our<br />
chaplains in the event that the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” legislation is repealed.<br />
Our denomination is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals. This<br />
diverse body of evangelicals represents over 45,000 local churches from over 40<br />
different denominations and serves a constituency of millions. We are an affiliate<br />
member of the National Association of Evangelicals Chaplains Commission with<br />
over 1,000 military chaplains, and I serve as the Vice Chairman.<br />
It was in 1985 that the NAE (National Association of Evangelicals) affirmed that<br />
“the sexual relationship between a man and a woman within the bounds of<br />
marriage is something natural and beautiful” and that “homosexual activity, like<br />
adulterous relationships, is clearly condemned in Scriptures.” In addition, we<br />
affirmed that “the Bible records God’s historic judgment on societies<br />
characterized by this deviant behavior.” The Apostle Paul in writing to the<br />
Romans clearly teaches that the practice of homosexuality is a degrading and<br />
unnatural passion (Romans 1:26-27). In his letter to the Corinthians Paul defines<br />
the practice of homosexuality as a sin that brings devastating consequences (1<br />
Corinthians 6:9-10).<br />
In 2004, the NAE affirmed that “We believe that homosexuality is not an<br />
inherited condition in the same category as race, gender, or national origin, all of<br />
which are free from moral implication. We believe that homosexuality is a<br />
deviation from the Creator’s plan for human sexuality.” We also “affirmed that<br />
homosexuals can be forgiven, cleansed and healed of their behavior and be<br />
restored to healthy and godly living.” We called on “pastors and theologians,<br />
along with medical and sociological specialists within the Christian community to<br />
expand research on the factors which give rise to homosexuality and to develop<br />
therapy, pastoral care, and congregational support leading to complete<br />
restoration.”<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
We, as members and leaders of the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> <strong>Church</strong>,<br />
wish to affirm the beliefs stated above. We support the military of the United<br />
States of America and believe that the military services have been established to<br />
serve the good of our Nation, and not to be a social experiment or testing<br />
ground for society at large. We believe that allowing those that practice deviant<br />
and potentially harmful behavior are a threat to our national security and the<br />
well being of our Country.<br />
We, as a denomination, would caution the President and Congress to think long<br />
and hard about writing new legislation to reverse the DADT current policy with<br />
regard to homosexuals. It is our belief that such action would be in direct<br />
opposition to the moral law of God and the standards of natural law. Such action<br />
may indeed position our military and Nation on the slippery slope to destruction.<br />
I believe that should the DADT law be reversed it will set in motion the Law of<br />
Unintended Consequences.<br />
It will subvert the good order and discipline in the military services. It will<br />
undermine the integrity of men and women at all levels. They will be ruled by<br />
fear of possible charges of discrimination or hate crime. If this happens, this law<br />
with its enforcement will silence the voice of many chaplains for fear of being<br />
disciplined or prosecuted. It will be a deterrent to recruiting the best young men<br />
and women. It will cause outstanding career officers and non-commissioned<br />
offers to rethink their commitment to the military and resign in order to maintain<br />
their own integrity and moral standards. There may very well be a mass exodus<br />
of faithful chapel attendees by going to civilian churches, and there will be a<br />
significant loss of attendance in Sunday schools and Bible studies. Chaplains will<br />
no longer be the spiritual leaders of Bible studies and prayer groups.<br />
We appeal to you and the review team, for the good of our Nation and our<br />
military to provide counsel to your Service Chief of Staff and Chairman of the<br />
Joint Chiefs of Staff and those who serve at that level of leadership to petition<br />
our President and Congress to deny those who openly practice homosexuality to<br />
serve in our Nation’s military services, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.<br />
We urge you to speak with moral courage and integrity to this issue that is vital<br />
to the spiritual, moral, and physical wellbeing of our nation.<br />
Thank you again for your time and attention to the Chaplain Endorsing Agencies.<br />
If you have any questions concerning this statement please feel free to contact<br />
Chaplain, Lt. Colonel Hugh H. Morgan, US Air Force, retired at 770-725-1757.<br />

SUBJECT: An addendum to: Endorser input on the Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t<br />
Tell” Legislation and Practicing Homosexuals Serving in the Military<br />
From: The <strong>International</strong> <strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, Inc.<br />
P. O. Box 12609<br />
Oklahoma City, OK 73157-2609<br />
Dear Chaplain Linsky:<br />
It is my belief that the White House and Congress are completely out of touch<br />
with the American people. I am confident that the majority of Americans are<br />
repulsed by homosexual and lesbian lifestyles. I recommend a poll to be taken<br />
among the men and women in the armed forces to get their opinion.<br />
I joined the Marine Corps in 1953. I was a ministerial student at the time, and<br />
would have been drafted in the Army, but I refused to apply for a ministerial<br />
deferment. I considered myself to be an American so I wanted to volunteer to<br />
fight for my country, and did. I can tell you the Marines I served with on active<br />
duty for three years were heterosexual men.<br />
While in the Marine Corps, a young Methodist Navy chaplain came where we<br />
were. When I saw the cross on his uniform, I instantly remembered my<br />
commitment to Jesus Christ as a six-year-old boy. That cross for me was a<br />
visible reminder of the Holy unseen God to Whom I was accountable and had<br />
earlier given my heart and life to serve and obey. I was backsliding at that time,<br />
but I repented of my sins and rededicated my life to Christ. Through the ministry<br />
of this chaplain, I was called to be a military chaplain. I found out what the<br />
requirements were, and set my heart like a flint to finish college, go to seminary,<br />
and pastor a church for two years. In seminary, I was in the Army Chaplain<br />
Candidate Program. I finished the Chaplain Officer Basic Course at Fort Slocum<br />
on David’s Island, just off the shore from New Rochelle, NY. Since there were no<br />
openings in the Army following my graduation from seminary, I pastored a rural<br />
church for two years. One of our Air Force chaplains was killed in an Air Force<br />
transport aircraft over Manila, Philippines, in April 1964, when some 57 souls lost<br />
their lives. Shortly after that, my bishop asked me to fill that vacancy. I had to<br />
resign my commission in the Army Reserve, and was sworn in the Air Force.<br />
I spent 10 years on active duty as an Air Force chaplain and 16 years in the Air<br />
Force Reserve as an IMA. I served for five years as a member of the USAF<br />
Chaplains Resource Board at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, and developed the themes<br />
of two different Chiefs for five years. I retired in 1991 from Robins AFB, GA.<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
During the years I was on active duty and in the reserve, I often shared pulpits<br />
and the conduct of worship services when men of various denominations. I never<br />
had any problems. When I was the hospital chaplain at Wright-Patterson AFB, I<br />
was called upon to serve communion at Chapel One where the high ranking<br />
officers attended. I was asked to do this because the Wing Chaplain, a Lutheran,<br />
and the Episcopal chaplain, who was assigned to that chapel, were not allowed<br />
by their denominations to serve open communion. I am a <strong>Pentecostal</strong> and I have<br />
no restrictions on serving communion to other Christians.<br />
However, I would find it completely unacceptable for me to conduct a worship<br />
service with a homosexual and would seek to get my denomination to restrict all<br />
of our chaplains from doing so in the event the DADT policy is reversed.<br />
It is my belief that most of the people who now attend our chapel worship<br />
services and volunteer to teach Bible studies, Sunday school classes, vacation<br />
Bible school will vote with their feet by leaving and going to civilian churches off<br />
base or off post. Lay volunteers will be hard to find.<br />
Because I believe the Bible is the sole authority for my faith and conduct in life, I<br />
have to oppose the reversal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The truth of<br />
God’s Word never changes. The Bible says, “You shall know the truth and the<br />
truth shall set you free” (John 8:32). God considers homosexual behavior and<br />
lifestyle to be an “abomination.” He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of<br />
this gross sin. The Bible tells us in Genesis that Abraham interceded for those<br />
cities and asked God if He found 10 righteous people if He would save the cities.<br />
The tragedy is there were not 10 righteous people there and the cities were<br />
destroyed. Only Lot and his immediate family got out, with the exception of<br />
Lot’s wife who looked back and turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26).<br />
God could very well allow the destruction of the United States of America if we<br />
as a nation don’t repent and turn to Him. Reversing the DADT policy may<br />
position our country on the path to destruction. May God help us. And may God<br />
bless America, the land I love. This is my country.<br />
I rest my case.<br />
Respectfully submitted,<br />

National Association of Evangelicals<br />
Abortion 2010<br />
All humans, male and female, are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and, therefore, have<br />
intrinsic dignity that should be respected and honored. Indeed, the breath of life in all human<br />
beings is a gift from God (Genesis 2:7) and thus inherently holy. The National Association of<br />
Evangelicals (NAE) has pledged to protect the sanctity of human life and to safeguard its nature.<br />
In light of our respect for the precious gift of life, the NAE continues to speak on the sensitive<br />
subject of abortion.<br />
Quite simply, America has an abortion problem. Over one million abortions occur in the United<br />
States every year. 1 We find this number horrific, because it is not just a number. It represents<br />
more than a million human lives deliberately terminated every year. The Bible reveals God’s<br />
calling and care for persons before they are born (Psalm 139:13), and each life lost is a unique<br />
creation made in God’s image who might have blessed our society in extraordinary ways. We<br />
declare this situation to be unconscionable and unacceptable.<br />
The NAE is not alone in its concerns. The broader American public long has been disturbed by<br />
abortion, and this sentiment continues today. According to a September 2008 Pew Forum on<br />
Religion & Public Life publication, “most Americans (73%) believe that abortion is morally<br />
wrong in nearly all (24%) or some (49%) circumstances.” 2 We find hope for reform in this<br />
common concern.<br />
We recognize that well-intentioned Americans have debated for many years whether and in what<br />
circumstances abortion should be legal. Americans remain passionately divided on this subject.<br />
The NAE actively, ardently and unwaveringly opposes abortion on demand. However, we do<br />
not dismiss those who advocate for legal access to abortion as unconcerned for human life or<br />
unworthy of our respect and attention. Lack of civility and charity toward our neighbor is also<br />
unacceptable (Mark 12:31).<br />
The NAE is pleased that some longtime opponents in the debate over the legality of abortion<br />
have expressed interest in working together to dramatically reduce the incidence of abortion in<br />
the United States. Without compromising our core convictions, we seek honest conversation<br />
about ways to achieve this goal. These conversations should build on our shared concerns for<br />
human dignity, protecting children and promoting healthy families and communities.<br />
We understand that the problem of abortion is interconnected with other challenges in our<br />
society. Given the generative nature of human sexuality, we recognize an inherent link between<br />
respect for God’s gift of sex and respect for God’s gift of life. Sex is a precious gift from God<br />
intended for a man and a woman to consummate marriage, procreate, express love and<br />
experience pleasure within an exclusive covenantal relationship. The church is called to teach<br />
and model the blessings of sexual purity and to uphold marriage and the family, society’s<br />
fundamental building blocks.<br />
1<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010
Page 102 of 132<br />
Pregnancy is a natural result of sexual activity and integral to God’s design and command for<br />
humans to “be fruitful and increase in number” (Genesis 1:28). If God permits a pregnancy,<br />
planned or unplanned, we should understand that God is forming a new life in his image. Sex is a<br />
responsible act only in a relationship in which a couple is willing to care for any children that can<br />
come from that union. However, in stark contrast to the biblical vision, irresponsible and<br />
flippant treatment of sex abounds in our society. It is no wonder that unplanned pregnancy<br />
similarly abounds and places many parents and their children in environmentally, economically<br />
and emotionally precarious states.<br />
We recognize the pain, fear and even anguish that sometimes accompanies an unplanned<br />
pregnancy. The parents, particularly when they are young or unmarried, are often overwhelmed<br />
by the sacrifices that would be required to care for a young life. In too many cases, fathers desert<br />
their partners and unborn children as soon as pregnancy is discovered. Abandoned pregnant<br />
mothers may feel hopeless in the face of the daunting challenges of single parenting. Sadly,<br />
many fathers and mothers in these situations each year turn away from the joys and<br />
responsibilities of parenting or the alternative of adoption, and many then bear heavy burdens<br />
stemming from those decisions for years to come.<br />
Approximately half of all pregnancies are unplanned, and more than 40 percent of these three<br />
million unplanned pregnancies are aborted. This accounts for the vast majority of America’s<br />
abortions every year. 3 Any serious attempt to reduce the number of abortions must therefore<br />
come to terms with unplanned pregnancy, the pandemic of extramarital sex and the complex<br />
issues surrounding contraception and other family planning methods. Where couples are not<br />
willing to accept the responsibilities of parenting, they should educate themselves about ethical<br />
methods of family planning. The <strong>Church</strong> is understandably reluctant to recommend<br />
contraception for unmarried sexual partners, given that it cannot condone extramarital sex.<br />
However, it is even more tragic when unmarried individuals compound one sin by conceiving<br />
and then destroying the precious gift of life. Witness the far reaching consequences to King<br />
David’s sins of adultery and murder. 4<br />
In some cases, couples embracing pregnancy face diagnoses of potential complications for their<br />
prenatal child. Too often these diagnoses are accompanied by suggestions towards abortion. For<br />
example, prenatal diagnoses of Down syndrome result in abortion in approximately 90 percent of<br />
such situations. 5 We are deeply saddened not only by such a staggering trend but also its subtle<br />
eugenic implications. Parenting a child with physical or developmental difficulties can be a<br />
significant challenge but also a great blessing. We believe churches should strive to be<br />
communities offering extra love and support for families who conceive or adopt special needs<br />
children.<br />
We do not wish to exalt a one-size-fits-all approach to abortion reduction. Rather, we urge<br />
church leaders, always with a mind to honor God’s gifts of life and sex and his holy institutions<br />
of marriage and family, to seek out strategies appropriate for their congregations and<br />
communities.<br />
We are grateful for those already working in ministries supporting children and youth, pregnancy<br />
care, adoption, single parents and parents of children with special needs, poverty relief, biblically<br />

sound family planning, sexual purity and accountability, and marriage strengthening. Each of<br />
these ministries can contribute to reducing the number of abortions. We commend the NAE’s<br />
“Theology of Sex” as a publication to aid evangelicals in properly understanding and cherishing<br />
human sexuality, building strong families, respecting human dignity and celebrating the precious<br />
gift of life. Moreover, we commission the NAE Generation Project to encourage evangelicals<br />
and society-at-large toward cooperative efforts and practical solutions that create an environment<br />
where sex is honored, life is cherished, parents are supported and the number of abortions is<br />
reduced.<br />

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ!<br />
Enclosed you will find the Alternative Structure for Conference Leadership proposal<br />
from the Upper South Carolina Conference. This is the product of the unanimous vote of<br />
the eleven members of our Conference Board.<br />
Many of our churches presently are using this leadership structure of the Pastor<br />
appointing his/her board and leadership team. The vast majority of the membership of<br />
our churches is represented by this leadership structure.<br />
In fact, 20,698 members of the 28,750 total membership, or, 72% of the constituency of<br />
the Upper South Carolina Conference are represented by this leadership structure in<br />
their local churches.<br />
Thus, this proposal by our Conference Board is a mirror of what is already happening in<br />
the Upper South Carolina Conference!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ronald Q. Moore<br />
RQM/drl<br />

General Conference - Conferences - Local <strong>Church</strong>es<br />
Responsible to the General Superintendent’s Office and the Executive Committee of<br />
the Council of Bishops, it is important that the Archives and Research Center is rooted<br />
in each conference worldwide.<br />
The General Superintendent recommends the appointment of Director of the Archives<br />
and Research Center at the Global Ministries Center (GMC). The Executive Committee<br />
of the Council of Bishop approves the Director’s appointment.<br />
Then, working in harmony with the <strong>International</strong> Archives and Research Center, each<br />
Conference Superintendent and his/her Executive Council appoints a Conference<br />
Archivist whose duties are described in "Guidelines" (see exhibit "A").<br />
The Conference Executive Council and the Conference Archivist will encourage and<br />
assist local churches within each conference to appoint local church historians (see<br />
"Guidelines," exhibit "B").<br />
In this way our entire <strong>Church</strong> benefits from the histories and records being kept and<br />
they will more accurately be preserved.<br />
On a regular schedule, both the Conferences and local <strong>Church</strong>es will transfer approved<br />
archival materials to IPHC Archives and Research Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.<br />
COB Meeting July 19-20, 2010

The Archives and Research Center<br />
Codes for books in the Archives and Research Center will be determined by the Library<br />
of Congress.<br />
Codes for IPHC departments in the GMC will be adapted from a GMC accounting list.<br />
These codes need to be used as ascension numbers in order to transfer papers in<br />
addition to providing the core identity of materials entered into the Library Master<br />
database.<br />
The codes which follow will be the basis for the GMC approach to archiving electronic<br />
records. One addition will be for Extension Loan Fund. It is the prerogative of<br />
administrators in question to create subfolders as needed. If this project succeeds, it<br />
will minimize the amount of scanning that would follow the next quadrennium. In order<br />
to move an archival document(s) to its proper location, one must use Explorer or “My<br />
Computer” to transfer from a hard-drive to j:\archives\department (e.g. j:\archives\gso).<br />
Security considerations prohibit the use of features like “save as” in an application like<br />
MS Word to accomplish this task.<br />
