Inorder to do that, it will be necessary to suspend Conference Policy 10.3.0, which directsthe Conference Treasurer to pay General Conference Apportionments in twelve monthlyinstallments of equal amount on or about the last day of the month.Geisthardt moved that Conference Policy 10.3.0 be suspended <strong>for</strong> the remainder of <strong>2011</strong>and all of 2012.Following discussion, Bishop Lee tabled the motion until further in<strong>for</strong>mation regardingJudicial Council decisions related to General Church Apportionments and Conferencebudgeting <strong>for</strong> them can be gathered.There are two specific questions to be answered:Is there a Judicial Council ruling that affects ability to vote on motion?What would be the impact of paying less than 100 % of General ChurchApportionments on the whole picture of the strategic plan?Geisthardt noted that, in order to consider the 2012 Proposed Budget, Conference Policy10.4.1, which limits the percentage increase in the budget presented to the AnnualConference by the Council to the percentage increase in the Conference total of localchurch expenses <strong>for</strong> the previous year, must be suspended.Geisthardt moved to suspend Conference Policy 10.4.1. The motion was approved.Geisthardt then presented the proposed 2012 Conference Budget. He highlighted anumber of minor changes to 2012 Proposed Budget that was printed in the Pre-Conference Workbook.

Indicate credential of persons in Part II: FD, FE, PD, PE, and AM when requested.)17. Are all the clergy members of the conference blameless in their life and officialadministration (604.4, 605.6)?Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ <strong>for</strong> the trans<strong>for</strong>mation of the world.Our vision is to live, give, love, beyond all expectation.We affirm God’s call to the ordained and the licensed ministries of clergy leadership ofelders, deacons, associate members and local pastors.We celebrate our faith, our gifts, our appointments to congregations, circuits and communities,our ministry accomplishments and our connection in the United Methodisttradition that is “multi-leveled, global in scope, and local in thrust.”We confess that all of us have fallen short in our living and ministry. At times, we havechosen to wander beyond the bonds of our covenant. Sometimes, we have not honoredone another’s ministry by undermining the ministry of our clergy brothers andsisters. Some of us find it hard to let go of <strong>for</strong>mer congregations and parishionersand insist on returning to those places and people to per<strong>for</strong>m pastoral functions.Some of us find ourselves doing ministry in isolation. We have, at times, been selfservingby ignoring the needs around us. Yes, we have experienced both personaldarkness and ministerial failures.Because of the amazing grace of God that continues to enable us to be faithful in ourChristian living, Christian giving and Christian loving beyond all expectation, weseek <strong>for</strong>giveness from God and from one another <strong>for</strong> breaking our covenant. Weinvoke the sufficiency of God’s grace to move us <strong>for</strong>ward with assurance and confidence.As John Wesley put it, “Grace in all; Grace <strong>for</strong> all.” Thus, we are not blameless,yet trusting in God’s grace we once again humbly offer ourselves to God andto one another <strong>for</strong> effective ministry through our clergy leadership. Today, we renewour claim to be a blessed community of clergy of the Wisconsin Annual Conferenceof The United Methodist Church.We commit to do good, to do no harm and to grow in love with God.We commit to serve Jesus Christ as our Lord, in union with our congregations, our circuitsand our communities, which Christ has opened to people of all ages, nationsand races.We commit to encourage and offer support to our clergy brothers and sisters at alltimes, especially in the context of Circuit Ministry.We commit to work with one another side by side as we have been called by Godwhose steadfast love holds us and binds us together to “make us one with Christ,one with each other and one in ministry to all the world.”Thanks be to God!Business of the Annual Conference91

The Group Health Account - This account contains the income and expenserelated to the medical benefit plans offered by the Wisconsin Conference, bothactive and retiree. This account has a balance of $4,155,000.5. The Conference expects to receive annual payments from several sources in thefuture <strong>for</strong> retiree medical benefits, though none of these sources are guaranteed.These sources and their currently estimated annual payment are:Active premium rates: $100,000East Wisconsin Pension Trust: $100,000Apportionments: $300,000 (CF&A hopes to restore this amount to$400,000 in the future)A present value was calculated <strong>for</strong> these amounts over 18 years, discounted at 7% (thesame interest rate used in UMC pension calculations). The following present values weredetermined: Active premium rates: $1,006,000 East Wisconsin Pension Trust: $1,006,000 Apportionments: $3,018,000Additional Contributions – Many of the accounts listed above were originally funded topay <strong>for</strong> pensions. In light of the decrease in asset values during 2008, the WisconsinConference has some underfunded pension plans. If this situation continues, then not allof the above funds will be available <strong>for</strong> retiree medical benefits. After a period of yearsthe retiree medical benefit will need to be reevaluated, if necessary, since it is unlikelythat any additional sources of money can be found. Any changes in the portion ofpremium paid by retirees will require action by the Annual Conference.Contributions to the Ministerial Pension Memorial Fund, Permanent Pension Fund, andMinisters Insurance Memorial Fund come from individuals. The contributions comefrom gifts, primarily from estates. The size and frequency of future contributions isuncertain.

Children are our present and our future, our hope, our teachers, our inspiration.They are full participants in the life of the church and in the realm of God.Jesus also said, “If any of you put a stumbling block be<strong>for</strong>e one of these little ones . . . itwould be better <strong>for</strong> you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you weredrowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6). Our Christian faith calls us to offerboth hospitality and protection to the little ones, the children. The Social Principles ofThe United Methodist Church state that “children must be protected from economic,physical, emotional and sexual exploitation and abuse” ( 162C). (2008 Book of<strong>Resolution</strong>s 3084 Reducing the Risk of Child Abuse in the Church)WHEREAS, The damage caused by child abuse or mistreatment is devastating, longlasting,and far-reaching. Our Christian faith calls us to offer both hospitality andprotection to the most vulnerable among us. In our society, that includes children, youth,and adults with physical or mental disabilities. Sadly, the church may be the only placewhere some people find the unconditional love and care they so desperately need to growand thrive. We must take seriously our responsibility not only to care <strong>for</strong> these brothersand sisters, but to create a place of safety and refuge within our sanctuaries.WHEREAS, the United Methodist Church made a commitment to reducing the risk ofchild abuse in 1996 and has reaffirmed this commitment in 2004 and 2008 (<strong>Resolution</strong>#65, 2004 Book of resolutions, <strong>Resolution</strong> #59, 2000 Book of <strong>Resolution</strong>s.WHEREAS this commitment provides that Annual conferences:Develop safety and risk-reducing policies and procedures <strong>for</strong> conference-sponsoredevents such as camps, retreats, youth gatherings, childcare at conference events, mission162 Items Requiring Annual Conference Action

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTSWisconsin Annual ConferenceThe United Methodist ChurchSun Prairie, WisconsinWe have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Wisconsin Annual Conferenceof The United Methodist Church (“the Conference”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009,and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, and cash flows <strong>for</strong> the yearsthen ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Conference’s management.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted inthe United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained inGovernment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.Those standards require that we plan and per<strong>for</strong>m the audit to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An auditincludes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in thefinancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used andsignificant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statementpresentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis <strong>for</strong> our opinion.In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all materialrespects, the financial position of the Conference as of December 31, 2010 and2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows <strong>for</strong> the years then ended in con<strong>for</strong>mitywith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report datedJune 6, <strong>2011</strong> on our consideration of the Conference’s internal control over financial reportingand on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scopeof our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results ofthat testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or oncompliance. That report is an integral part of an audit per<strong>for</strong>med in accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.Our audit was conducted <strong>for</strong> the purpose of <strong>for</strong>ming an opinion on the financial statementsas a whole. The accompanying supplemental in<strong>for</strong>mation is presented <strong>for</strong> purposesof additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget CircularA-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations and the WisconsinDepartment of Health Services Audit Guide, 2010 Revision, and is not a requiredpart of the financial statements. Such in<strong>for</strong>mation is the responsibility of managementand was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other recordsused to prepare the financial statements.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>WISCONSIN ANNUAL CONFERENCETHE UNITED METHODIST CHURCHSun Prairie, WisconsinNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTE 1 - INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OFSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESA. NATURE OF ACTIVITIESThe Wisconsin Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church accepts apportionmentsfrom United Methodist churches in Wisconsin and distributes monies to General Conferenceagencies <strong>for</strong> national and international programs, Wisconsin Annual Conference agencies<strong>for</strong> local programs, and to other charitable organizations.To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources availableto the Conference, its accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fundaccounting. Resources of various purposes are classified <strong>for</strong> accounting and reportingpurposes into funds established according to their nature and purposes. Separate accountsare maintained <strong>for</strong> each fund.The Undesignated Fund represents amounts received primarily from apportionmentsand pass-through donations and is expended <strong>for</strong> purposes set <strong>for</strong>th in the annual budgetadopted by the Conference or by the donor.The Designated Fund includes amounts to be used <strong>for</strong> specified purposes as determinedby donors or conference agencies.The Group Health Benefit Fund records the receipt from local churches and individualsand the Wisconsin Annual Conference payment to the General Board of Pension andHealth Benefits of premiums <strong>for</strong> the Wisconsin Annual Conference Group Health Plan. Thisplan provides health insurance benefits to eligible active lay employees and clergy of theWisconsin Annual Conference, participating local churches, certain agencies or institutionsof the United Methodist Church, and to eligible retired individuals and surviving spouses ofthe participating individuals.The Pension and Benefits Fund records the receipt from local churches and the WisconsinAnnual Conference payment to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits ofcontributions to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) and the ComprehensiveProtection Plan (CPP), the denominational pension plan and death and disability plan <strong>for</strong>clergy.The Grant Fund records the receipt of federal grant funds through the State of WisconsinDepartment of Health Services and the related expenses relating to the Social Service BlockGrant <strong>for</strong> Emergency Disaster Relief. The Wisconsin Annual Conference administered thisgrant, which ended September 30, 2010, to provide case management, housing, and otherservices to eligible individuals whose homes were affected by the June 2008 floods andstorms.B. INTERFUND ACTIVITYFor financial reporting purposes, interfund receivables and payables, as well as interfundrevenues and expenses, have been eliminated.184 Audited Financial Statements


C. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>For the statements of cash flows, the Conference considers cash accounts which are notsubject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties and highly liquid debt instruments purchasedwith an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.D. DUE FROM LOCAL CHURCHESApportionments received between year-end and a specified cut-off date in mid January ofthe following year that are specifically designated by churches <strong>for</strong> the previous year aretreated as prior year apportionments and as receivables at year-end.E. INVESTMENTSSecurities are carried at fair value. Gains or losses on the sale of debt and equity securitiesare computed using the specific identification method.F. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTEquipment is stated at cost. Real estate, except camps, is carried at cost if purchased,and at fair value at date of receipt if donated. Conference camps are carried at appraisedvalue as of February 26, 1976, the earliest date <strong>for</strong> which in<strong>for</strong>mation is available, plusadditions since that date at cost. Buildings and improvements are being depreciated overseven to fifty-year periods using the straight-line depreciation method. Equipment is beingdepreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line depreciation method.G. UNEARNED PREMIUMS/INCOMEUnearned premiums represent premiums collected prior to year end that relate to coverageperiods subsequent to year end. Health insurance premiums, Clergy Retirement SecurityProgram contributions, and Comprehensive Protection Plan premiums are billed toparticipants during the month earned/covered.For the Grant Fund, the State of Wisconsin has specified the eligibility criteria and anyunspent funds would be required to be repaid to the state. In addition, the services providedby the Wisconsin Annual Conference under the grant are outside of their normal programs.For these reasons, the Conference considers the contributions received from the State ofWisconsin to be an exchange transaction. Amounts received in advance at December 31,2009, were recorded as unearned income until the funds were expended in 2010.H. CLASSIFICATIONS OF NET ASSETSAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958-205, Presentation of Financial Statementsrequires the Conference to report its net assets and changes therein in the followingcategories:Unrestricted Net Assets - Unrestricted net assets represent resources that are generallyavailable <strong>for</strong> support of the Conference’s activities. Amounts that have been earmarked<strong>for</strong> a specific purpose by one of the Conference’s boards are reported as unrestricteddesignated.Temporarily Restricted Net Assets - The Conference reports gifts of cash and other assetsas temporarily restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit theuse of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated timerestriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assetsare reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as netassets released from restriction.Audited Financial Statements185


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Permanently Restricted Net Assets - The Conference reports gifts of cash and other assetsas permanently restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations that limit usageto earnings only.I. INCOME TAXESWisconsin Annual Conference is exempt from federal and state income taxation underInternal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).J. USE OF ESTIMATESThe preparation of financial statements in con<strong>for</strong>mity with generally accepted accountingprinciples requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses duringthe reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.K. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTFASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides the framework<strong>for</strong> measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be receivedfrom selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements <strong>for</strong>assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Conference considers theprincipal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptionsthat market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk,transfer restrictions, and risk of nonper<strong>for</strong>mance.ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Conference to maximizethe use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuringfair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is basedupon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:- Level One - Quoted prices in active markets <strong>for</strong> identical assets or liabilities.- Level Two - Inputs other than Level One that are observable, either directly or indirectly,such as quoted prices <strong>for</strong> similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that arenot active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observablemarket data <strong>for</strong> substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.- Level Three - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activityand are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.186 Audited Financial Statements

NOTE 7 -<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>CLERGY RETIREMENT SECURITY PROGRAMThe Conference participates in the Clergy Retirement Security Program, a multi-employer,hybrid defined contribution/defined benefit pension plan that is administered by the GeneralBoard of Pension and Health Benefits. This plan covers substantially all United Methodistclergy <strong>for</strong> service with the Conference on or after January 1, 2007.The Clergy Retirement Security Program has two components: the defined contributionportion and the defined benefit portion.Defined Contribution ComponentContributions to the defined contribution portion of the Clergy Retirement SecurityProgram are based upon a percentage of participants’ compensation. Retirement benefitsprovided are in the <strong>for</strong>m of annuity contracts, which are based upon past contributionsplus accumulated earnings. There are no unfunded prior service costs <strong>for</strong> the definedcontribution portion of the plan.Defined Benefit ComponentThe legal status of the defined benefit component of the Clergy Retirement SecurityProgram is such that all assets are available to pay all defined benefits, regardless ofthe annual conference from which benefits came or under which benefits were accrued.The Wisconsin Annual Conference does not control any of the benefit provisions of theplan; these are determined by the General Conference of the United Methodist Church.Retirement benefits provided are in the <strong>for</strong>m of annuity contracts, which are based uponyears of service.The required contributions <strong>for</strong> December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of $2,102,334and $2,035,980, were paid through a redirection of surplus from Supplement One to theClergy Retirement Security Program (“Pre 1982 Plan”).NOTE 8 -SUPPLEMENT ONE TO THE CLERGY RETIREMENT SECURITYPROGRAMThe Conference participates in Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement SecurityProgram, which is administered by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. Thisplan covers substantially all United Methodist clergy <strong>for</strong> service with the Conference or itspredecessors be<strong>for</strong>e January 1, 1982. The legal status of the plan is such that all assetsof the plan are available to pay all benefits of the plan, regardless of the annual conferencefrom which benefits came or under which benefits were accrued. The Wisconsin AnnualConference controls certain benefit provisions of the plan, including the applicable pastservice rate and the contingent annuitant percentage. The past service rate was $647 and$641 as of January 1, <strong>2011</strong> and 2010, respectively. The contingent annuitant percentagehas been 100% since January 1, 1999, and cannot be changed.The Conference assets, Conference liability, Conference funded status, and requiredcontribution are disclosed below. In order to determine the required contribution <strong>for</strong> eachConference, the total available assets are allocated amongst all the Conferences. Thedifference between the Conference liability and Conference assets provides the fundedstatus <strong>for</strong> the Conference. If a negative funded status exists, a contribution is required. Dueto investment market per<strong>for</strong>mance in 2008, the funded status was negative as of January1, 2009, and, there<strong>for</strong>e, a contribution will be required to be paid December 31, <strong>2011</strong>. TheDecember 31, <strong>2011</strong>, required contribution will be $951,513. The funded status was positiveas of January 1, 2010, so no contribution will be required on December 31, 2012.Audited Financial Statements191

This plan covers substantially all United Methodist clergy <strong>for</strong> service with theConference from January 1, 1982 through December 31, 2006.Although as a defined contribution plan, there is no over or underfunding of this plan whileparticipants are active, this changes upon their retirement. At the time of retirement, someor all of the account balance of participants in the plan is converted to an annuity contract,which is based upon past contributions plus accumulated earnings. The annuities areguaranteed by the plan sponsors of the plan, including the Wisconsin Annual Conference.The legal status of the annuities plan is such that all assets of the plan are available to payall benefits of the plan, regardless of the annual conference from which benefits came orunder which benefits were accrued. The Wisconsin Annual Conference does not controlany of the provisions of the plan.Because the funded status of the plan is the same <strong>for</strong> all annual conferences, the assets,liabilities, and funded status are not allocated among the various annual conferences. Onlythe required contribution, if one is required due to the existence of a negative funded status,is allocated to each annual conference.In the past, this annuities plan was always overfunded; however, due to the investmentmarket per<strong>for</strong>mance in 2008, the funded status was negative as of January 1, 2009, and,there<strong>for</strong>e, a contribution of $569,565 is expected to be required to be paid by the Conferenceon December 31, <strong>2011</strong>. The funded status was positive as of January 1, 2010, so nocontribution will be required on December 31, 2012.The plan liability <strong>for</strong> <strong>2011</strong> and 2010 was determined based on a 6.25% interest rate <strong>for</strong>annuities in pay status, a 7.00% interest rate prior to pay status, an annuity conversion rateof 5.25% <strong>for</strong> 2010 and 6.80% <strong>for</strong> 2009, and the RP-2000 Mortality Table.192 Audited Financial Statements

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>NOTE 11 - ENDOWMENT AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON NET ASSETSThe Conference’s endowments consist of 24 individual funds, valued at $7,669,303 and established<strong>for</strong> a variety of purposes. Its endowments include both donor-restricted endowment funds andfunds designated by the Wisconsin Annual Conference or individual Conference Boards to functionas endowments. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, nets assets associatedwith endowment funds, including funds designated by the Wisconsin Annual Conference or one of itsBoards to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence ofdonor-imposed restrictions.The State of Wisconsin enacted the Uni<strong>for</strong>m Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA)in 2009, so this act is followed by the Conference, along with its own governing documents.The Conference’s endowment spending policies vary by individual fund. For $4,722,701 of thesefunds, the Conference appropriates <strong>for</strong> distribution each year 5% of the fair market value of the fundas of December 31 one year prior to the year in which the distribution is planned. For these funds, theConference expects that, over the long term, this will allow these funds to maintain their purchasingpower.For $1,807,338 of these funds, only the income earnings are spent each year. Over the long term, thisis expected to allow these funds to build their purchasing power.For $1,139,264 of these funds, funds are appropriated only as needed and believed to be prudent bythe Conference Board that oversees that fund. This spending policy allows the Conference Boardmore flexibility in the timing of expenditures and ensures that necessary expenditures can be made inaccordance with Conference policy.For donor-restricted funds, total expenditures are limited to the total earnings and investment gains ofthe funds (i.e., principal is not spent). For board-designated funds, principal may be spent.To achieve the above objectives, the Conference invests all its endowment funds with the WisconsinUnited Methodist Foundation in funds that target a diversified asset allocation, including equity and debtsecurities, to achieve long-term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. The Conference relieson a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciationand current earnings (interest and dividends).Endowment net asset composition by type of fund as of December 31, 2010, is as follows:PermanentlyRestrictedTemporarilyRestrictedUnrestricted,DesignatedDonor-restricted endowment funds $2,026,776 $193,082 $339,167 $2,559,025Unrestricted board-designatedendowment funds 3,474,851 1,635,427 5,110,278Total Funds $2,026,776 $3,667,933 $1,974,594 $7,669,303TotalEndowment net asset composition by type of fund as of December 31, 2009, is as follows:PermanentlyRestrictedTemporarilyRestrictedUnrestricted,DesignatedDonor-restricted endowment funds $2,025,486 $74,993 $66,348 $2,166,827Unrestricted board-designatedendowment funds 3,514,940 1,404,962 4,919,902Total Funds $2,025,486 $3,589,933 $1,471,310 $7,086,729Total196 Audited Financial Statements

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIALREPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASEDON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED INACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS AND THEWISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES AUDIT GUIDETo the Council on Finance and AdministrationWisconsin Annual ConferenceThe United Methodist ChurchSun Prairie, WisconsinWe have audited the financial statements of the Wisconsin Annual Conference of the United MethodistChurch (the “Conference”) as of and <strong>for</strong> the year ended December 31, 2010, and have issued ourreport thereon dated June 6, <strong>2011</strong>. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standardsgenerally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial auditscontained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States,and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Audit Guide, issued by the Wisconsin Departmentof Health Services.Internal Control Over Financial ReportingIn planning and per<strong>for</strong>ming our audit, we considered the Conference’s internal control over financialreporting as a basis <strong>for</strong> designing our auditing procedures <strong>for</strong> the purpose of expressing our opinion onthe financial statements, but not <strong>for</strong> the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of theConference’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on theeffectiveness of the Conference’s internal control over financial reporting.A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allowmanagement or employees, in the normal course of per<strong>for</strong>ming their assigned functions, to prevent,or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or acombination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a materialmisstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on atimely basis.Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was <strong>for</strong> the limited purpose described in thefirst paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control overfinancial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We didnot identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be materialweaknesses, as defined above.Compliance and Other MattersAs part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Conference’s financial statements arefree of material misstatement, we per<strong>for</strong>med tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct andmaterial effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion oncompliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not expresssuch an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters thatare required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.This report is intended solely <strong>for</strong> the in<strong>for</strong>mation and use of the Council on Finance and Administration,management, others within the organization, and federal and state awarding agencies and pass throughentities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.Madison, WisconsinJune 6, <strong>2011</strong>SMITH & GESTELAND, LLPAudited Financial Statements199

The Conference's major federal programsare identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findingsand questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grantsapplicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the Conference's management.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Conference's compliance based on our audit.We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted inthe United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB CircularA-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards andOMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and per<strong>for</strong>m the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could havea direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, ona test basis, evidence about the Conference's compliance with those requirements and per<strong>for</strong>mingsuch other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our auditprovides a reasonable basis <strong>for</strong> our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of theConference's compliance with those requirements.In our opinion, the Conference complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirementsreferred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs <strong>for</strong>the year ended December 31, 2010.Internal Control Over ComplianceManagement of the Conference is responsible <strong>for</strong> establishing and maintaining effective internal controlover compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federalprograms. In planning and per<strong>for</strong>ming our audit, we considered the Conference's internal controlover compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federalprogram to determine the auditing procedures <strong>for</strong> the purpose of expressing our opinion on complianceand to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, butnot <strong>for</strong> the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Conference's internal controlover compliance.A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control overcompliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of per<strong>for</strong>ming their assignedfunctions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement ofa federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is adeficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is areasonable possibility that a material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federalprogram will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.Our consideration of internal control over compliance was <strong>for</strong> the limited purpose described in thefirst paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control overcompliance that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not200 Audited Financial Statements

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>BOARD OF CAMP AND RETREAT MINISTRIES2010 was a year of dreaming and planning <strong>for</strong> the Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries.With our purpose to “provide camps and retreat centers to enhance the mission of theWisconsin Annual Conference” and our mission to “provide outdoor settings <strong>for</strong>Christian education and faith <strong>for</strong>mation in Christian community,” the Board spent muchtime in discussion of the future of our programs and how to best meet the needs of theAnnual Conference <strong>for</strong> outdoor Christian Education. We provide summer campprograms to support local church Christian education, and places <strong>for</strong> churches, as well asBoards and Agencies, to come to provide their own times of spiritual enrichment,education, support, visioning, and work <strong>for</strong> the common good.The Conference Vision <strong>for</strong> 2010 – <strong>2011</strong> was to “Give Wholeheartedly,” by “creatingbudgeting and funding processes to support current and emerging mission and ministry.”The Board took this statement seriously, as well as to “assure adequate and appropriateresources to fully support ongoing Conference ministry and mission,” by developing aplan <strong>for</strong> continuance of a sound financial foundation <strong>for</strong> the camps by adding funds fromthe camp sales to already established endowment funds and by setting aside contingencyfunds. The Board also began plans <strong>for</strong> larger capital improvements at the camps, and setaside funds <strong>for</strong> smaller capital improvements.The Focus Areas of the United Methodist Church are supported by the camps in manyways. We help to “develop principled spiritual leaders <strong>for</strong> the church and <strong>for</strong> the world”through Christian education, our international staff, mission studies at YoMiCa Camp,using a spiritual and values based curriculum, community building, and our Leaders-in-Training Camp. We “engage in ministry with the poor” through our camp scholarships.We “create new places <strong>for</strong> new people and revitalizing existing congregations” byproviding places <strong>for</strong> family camps and retreats, as well as providing places <strong>for</strong>Conference or local congregational seminars/retreats/events. The Conference will behearing more over the next year about a new youth retreat center being planned <strong>for</strong> LakeLucerne Camp.The Board knows from the evaluations of summer campers and guests throughout theyear that camp is a special “place apart” that changes lives, deepens spiritual growth, andincreases leadership skills. 99% of our youth and family campers rate us very good orgood! 95% of our youth campers have learned more about the Bible. Some of ourcampers have said:Beautiful surroundings! Great leadership! Good price <strong>for</strong> all the wonderfulexperiences.I liked meeting new friends and seeing old ones.I liked all the activities we did.The worship was so cool I really felt like I could connect with God during it.My camper has a stronger faith and is able to reach out to those who need God’shand in their life.My son strengthened his relationship with God and made life-long friends.My kids did not want to come home!I like everything about camp.Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 205

The Board isheavily dependent on the United Methodist Social Principles which were again adoptedby the United Methodist General Conference in 2008 <strong>for</strong> guidance on the direction ofUnited Methodist social justice ministries. The Board is further responsive to the FourFocus Areas of The United Methodist Church and the Vision of the Wisconsin AnnualConference.At the <strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Annual Conference session the Board is presenting 9 petitions tothe 2012 General Conference encouraging Annual Conference support <strong>for</strong> petitionedlanguage changes in the Book of Discipline concerning homosexuality. Two resolutionson social justice issues are also being presented to the Annual Conference. The first ofthese supports worker rights <strong>for</strong> Collective Bargaining and the second supports HealthCare In Our Social Community.At each Annual Conference session The Board hosts display tables providing in<strong>for</strong>mationabout Church and Society issues and Peace with Justice concerns. The availablematerials include copies of the UMC Social Principles and literature provided by theUMC General Board of Church and Society on social issues.The Board has supported the attendance of a young Wisconsin United Methodist clergyperson at the annual national training session on social justice ministries sponsored by theGeneral Board of Church and Society earlier this year.206 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Peace with Justice programs are funded by the annual Peace with Justice general churchofferings held in Wisconsin UMC local churches. The monies received are dividedbetween the state and national UMC agencies <strong>for</strong> support of such programs. Each yearsome of the funding has gone toward specific programs of the Wisconsin Council ofChurches and other funding has been expended <strong>for</strong> peace with justice programsdeveloped in local UMC churches or community agencies. Each local Wisconsin UMCchurch is encouraged to participate in the Peace with Justice Sunday offering and name aliaison person who relates the local church to the conference Peace with Justice ministry.In January <strong>2011</strong> the Board cosponsored a conference with United Methodists <strong>for</strong> SocialAction on the UMC Social Principles. Leadership was available from the General Boardof Church and Society. In October <strong>2011</strong> the Board, with national leadership, issponsoring two conference seminars on “Bullies, Victims, By Standers” directed towardMiddle School and <strong>High</strong> School youth, parents, teachers, counselors and pastors.Leigh M. Roberts, ChairpersonBOARD OF GLOBAL MINISTRIESPurpose: Our purpose is to inspire, educate, recruit, train, in<strong>for</strong>m and deploy persons andcongregations <strong>for</strong> mission and ministry on the local, national and international levels.Vision: Our vision is to involve every United Methodist and every UM congregation in atleast one mission opportunity every year. The <strong>for</strong>m of that involvement might vary froman educational opportunity to a financial contribution to direct, hands-on experience.Mission: The mission of the Board of Global Ministries is to provide leadership,structure, and a channel within the Wisconsin Conference of the UMC <strong>for</strong> implementingour “Vision” and our “Purpose.” This may mean supporting others to be in mission onour behalf in Christ’s name; being in<strong>for</strong>med about the local, national or global context <strong>for</strong>mission; working with other Christians in the name of Christ; or becoming directlyinvolved in a mission opportunity.The Board of Global Ministries celebrates the many avenues of mission within ourconference. In <strong>2011</strong>, two of our Health and Welfare agencies are observing anniversariesof their work within the community: Northcott Neighborhood House of Milwaukee (50years) and Harbor House of Superior (10 years) commemorated these events withfestivities and requests <strong>for</strong> additional donations to aid them as they continue theirimportant work. Meanwhile National Volunteers in Mission (NVIM) marked 25 years oflabor and fellowship throughout the United States with a special reunion at Pine Lake. Inaddition, as an indication that our ministry continues to expand, BGM welcomedHillcrest Family Services as the newest (14th) member of its Health and Welfareministries.Each of these ministries, and many more that come under the BGM umbrella, provideopportunities <strong>for</strong> members of the Wisconsin Conference to serve our communities, ourstate, our nation and our world through our time, talents and financial support. From thesimple acts of collecting soup labels and sharing gently used clothing or collectingpennies in “Noisy Cans” during worship to visiting hospitals, rehabbing buildings andspending weeks in <strong>for</strong>eign country working with those who are hungry <strong>for</strong> food andReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 207


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>education and wish to work with us to meet their own needs, we are able to givewholeheartedly.In an ef<strong>for</strong>t to fulfill our purpose the Board of Global Ministries will be sponsoring aFour-Day Mission Event in October, <strong>2011</strong>. Plans are underway to provide inspirationand education to all Wisconsin United Methodists as they hear from those who have seenwhat we can do when we work together. Guests from the General Board of GlobalMinistries and around the world will be in attendance to share their insights.Representatives from our partner East Angola have been invited to share their hopes <strong>for</strong>the partnership with us. All BGM committees and agencies will be represented throughdisplays and individuals able to tell their stories of service.As a Board we continue to struggle with the cuts that must be made when apportionmentsdrop. Successful programs continue to reach new people and we do not want to see themdisappear. Yet we know of new programs that also require our support if they are tosucceed. As we work to achieve our vision, we are reminded that it is up to all of us toshare what we have with those who need our help. We have explored possible ways ofworking with the United Methodist Foundation and others as we try to provide support ina new ways. It is up to the Board of Global Ministries to oversee the ministries and tomake all of our members aware of them so that those in need may be served, and so thatall of us may know the joy of serving others.During 2010-<strong>2011</strong>, the Board worked to achieve four goals we had established. Oursuccess has been mixed. The October, <strong>2011</strong> Mission Event is an outgrowth of our firstgoal: to be better advocates <strong>for</strong> the various agencies, trips, teams and partnerships. Wehave also been intentional in sharing our successes and achievements through variousvoices of the conference. Following the Mission Event our focus will be on providing anew Guide to Mission Giving <strong>for</strong> the new quadrennium and publicizing its availabilityonline.Regarding our second goal, we have begun to utilize and interpret the in<strong>for</strong>mationreceived through our redesigned Application <strong>for</strong> Funding or Endorsement. We will makerevisions to that <strong>for</strong>m as we continue to ask agencies and other ministries to submit the<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> inclusion in the 2012 Guide to Mission Giving.Our third goal – to strengthen the link between the Board and the DisasterResponse/Recovery Team – will need to continue as a priority. We welcomed a newchairman in 2010, but un<strong>for</strong>tunately he stepped down in early <strong>2011</strong>. In the midst ofseveral tornadoes that touched down in Wisconsin we do have an interim director, butmuch work still needs to be done in this area.We continue to hold one meeting per year via phone conference and had one of theparticipants in a Mission Motivation meeting participate via SKYPE from SouthAmerica! Our goal will be to continue to utilize technology in an ef<strong>for</strong>t to minimizecosts.Gail Burgess, Chairperson208 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

The otherConference Partnership is with Native American Ministries in Wisconsin.Disaster Response CommitteeAs we look <strong>for</strong> someone to fill the position of chairman of this committee, we are veryaware that it is a demanding job, one that requires time and dedication. We will bedeveloping a meaningful position description and working to strengthen relationshipsbetween Disaster Response and various conference committees and programs. We alsoneed district supervisors and trained volunteers.Global Health InitiativeThe Global AIDS Task Force is addressing a wide array of issues through the BlackHealth Coalition in Milwaukee.

Most Health and Welfare agencies were able to respond,although there were questions and concerns that arose. BGM will be revising the <strong>for</strong>m aswe learn exactly what in<strong>for</strong>mation we need and how it can be used.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND STUDENT MINISTRY(BHESM)A. Introductory CommentsThe Board of <strong>High</strong>er Education and Student Ministry seeks to provide <strong>for</strong> “ministrybeyond the local church” by supporting the ministry of United Methodist related campusministries financially and by providing training opportunities <strong>for</strong> campus ministers. Inaddition, we seek to assist young women and men in the United Methodist Church whoneed financial assistance in obtaining a college degree. We oversee the work of theWesley Foundations in our conference and hold them accountable to support their studentministries. We are also charged to hold the relationship of our conference with NorthCentral and Wiley College. In all areas we are supporting ef<strong>for</strong>ts to reach out to collegestudents and “to make disciples of Jesus Christ” and “spiritual leaders <strong>for</strong> the church and<strong>for</strong> the world” <strong>for</strong> those who journey in the mission field of higher education.The main focus of our work is to support United Methodist related campus ministries todo their work of reaching college students and equipping them to start and/or grow intheir discipleship of Jesus Christ. Discipling students leads to the trans<strong>for</strong>mation of a) thestudents’ lives, b) campus-life and lives of the students’ peers, c) their local church andcircuit and ultimately d) the world to become more the way God wants it to be. We arepleased that in past years we have been an agency of our Conference that gave morefinancial support than most other protestant mainline denomination towards campusministry and have indeed lived and loved beyond the expectation of some of our campusministers. By having regular meetings with our campus ministers we hold each otheraccountable that our living, giving and loving will be directed towards trans<strong>for</strong>ming thisworld into a better place by making disciples of Jesus Christ.B. <strong>High</strong>lights and Accomplishments of the Past YearDuring the 2010 year, our Board used our apportioned dollars to grant eightcampus ministries a total of $ 84,000 including Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison,Menomonie, Milwaukee, Ripon, River Falls, and Whitewater.Financially, the Board could not support North Central and Wiley College thisyear.We used UM student day offerings to award Merit Awards to students inWisconsin. The Board gathered with campus ministers <strong>for</strong> the purpose ofnetworking, sharing ideas and talking about how the Board can best be ofsupport to our campus ministries in Wisconsin.In addition to financial support our board has worked on the promotion andawareness of UM Student Day Offering.We have promoted and raised awareness of our campus ministries, scholarshipprograms and United Methodist schools. Our webpage provides access toin<strong>for</strong>mation of scholarship possibilities, helpful links to campus ministries inWisconsin and to UM schools. The webpage can be found by clicking“education” on our conferences web site (www.wisconsinumc.org) and choosing“higher ed & student ministry.”212 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>We worked towards encouraging congregations with inactive WesleyFoundations to re-launch viable student ministries in their communities and haveseen wonderful success.We hosted a very well attended in<strong>for</strong>mational event about campus ministries atthe 2010 Annual Conference in La Crosse.C. How we relate to our the United Methodist Church’s mission and the vision of theWisconsin Conference1. It is our desire to continue to provide the means of “making disciples of JesusChrist <strong>for</strong> the trans<strong>for</strong>mation of the world” on college campuses in order toencourage young men and women to “Live, Give, Love … Beyond AllExpectation.”2. The same is true when more support is given toward UM Student Day and otherscholarships and loans, since it furthers the chance to make disciples and live,give and love beyond all expectation. It is our privilege to support those in needas they seek to become better “disciples of Jesus Christ <strong>for</strong> the trans<strong>for</strong>mation ofthe world”3. Our conferences vision needs accountability! It is our responsibility to holdWesley Foundations accountable to use their resources <strong>for</strong> the purposes they aremeant <strong>for</strong>.4. Trans<strong>for</strong>ming the world does not happen over night! We have to ensure longterm solutions. Our board’s role in this is to provide training <strong>for</strong> campusministers to find more funding resources that ensure long term financialsustainability to be in the trans<strong>for</strong>mation business.5. “Beyond all expectation” means also to go beyond the borders of ourconference. While in times of decreasing financial resources it is tempting tohold on to them we feel called to hold our commitment towards these two outof-statecolleges.D. How we relate to the four focus areasOur group is actively involved in the first and second focus area. We are hosting freetraining events <strong>for</strong> our campus ministers and thus work towards developing leaders. Inyears when enough money was available to us we supported campus ministers ANDstudents to go to larger student leadership training events. It is our desire <strong>for</strong> <strong>2011</strong> tocontinue this as enough funding is available. We are also involved in places likeOshkosh, Stevens Point and Eau Claire where there is potential <strong>for</strong> new and renewedcampus ministry programs to emerge and have provided advisory support on how to starta campus ministry and hold the Wesley Foundation there accountable to support them.Most, if not all, campus ministry programs we support engage in ministry with the poor -some locally, some nationally, some internationally. Many campus ministries are great inorganizing mission trips that are focusing on ministry with the poor and some even withimproving health.E. Plans <strong>for</strong> the Coming Year1. Supporting United Methodist related campus ministries in Wisconsin by fundingup to 20% of their needs and by providing opportunities <strong>for</strong> networking andcontinuing education <strong>for</strong> campus ministers.Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 213

We are working in partnership with 4 UM local congregations andsee wonderful progress in re-establishing student ministries.4. Try to keep offering some funding to support Wiley College and North CentralCollege.Markus Wegenast, Chairperson, Board of <strong>High</strong>er Education and Student MinistryBOARD OF LAY MINISTRYThe Conference Board of Laity (“The Board”) enables laity to have full and equalpartnerships in collaborative ministry with clergy and throughout the Wisconsin AnnualConference; to work with the circuits to grow lay leadership; to provide lay opportunities<strong>for</strong> growth through Lay Leadership Development, Faith Alive!, Annual Conference Laitysession, Lay Servant Ministries programs, Lay Leader/Lay Member to AnnualConference training, and The Book of Discipline, paragraph 631.The Board develops principled spiritual leaders <strong>for</strong> the church and <strong>for</strong> the world throughthe work of the Lay Leadership Development team (Catalyst), Faith Alive!, Lay ServantMinistries, Laity Session at Annual Conference, United Methodist Women, UnitedMethodist Men, and the work of the District Lay Leaders.The Board meets regularly about six times a year, supplemented with teleconferences onan “as needed” basis, to build relationships among its members, to evaluate programs andevents, to develop new opportunities <strong>for</strong> leadership development and spiritual growth, toidentify opportunities <strong>for</strong> collaboration with other boards and agencies in the WisconsinConference, and to vision <strong>for</strong> effective ministry. The Board members have a growingcommitment to the ministry of the laity. Making disciples is a top priority in all eventsand processes planned by The Board.“Catalyst” was initiated in 2009 at the request of and in collaboration with The WisconsinAnnual Conference Cabinet, The Board developed a plan to involve more laity incollaboration with clergy in ministry in the circuit setting. The new process focuses onbuilding strong, healthy relationships and healthy, productive congregationalenvironments by teaching/equipping laity and clergy leaders with tools based in familysystems theory, emotional intelligence, navigating controversial and difficultrelationships, have deep change – trans<strong>for</strong>mation of congregational cultures andworldviews, moving from dysfunction to full function, from corrosive to creative, fromresigned to engaged, and from com<strong>for</strong>table to productive. With practical learning –processes and in<strong>for</strong>mation designed <strong>for</strong> application in a wide variety of settings withsimple, clear, hands-on and experiential – anyone who participates in the process will befully equipped to take what they learn and equip others – self-replicating. This alignswith the vision of the Wisconsin Annual Conference to equip people to live, give, andlove more effectively and beyond ordinary expectation and the mission of the UnitedMethodist Church by shifting focus from “tending“ to “leading,” and from shepherding214 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>participants to <strong>for</strong>ming disciples. We also kept in mind the four focus areas of theGeneral Conference, specifically “to provide principled spiritual Christian leaders <strong>for</strong> thechurch and <strong>for</strong> the world.”The original vision <strong>for</strong> the core group was <strong>for</strong> thirty laity and clergy of a broad spectrumof ages, backgrounds, races, ethnicities (with a balance of women and men) to studytogether <strong>for</strong> nine months, develop together the “core curriculum” <strong>for</strong> a retreat experiencefocusing on three main areas:Application of helpful concepts from family systems theory in simple, practical,meaningful waysProvide practical tools to teach and equip people in the development ofemotional intelligenceGive tools and processes to leaders to navigate difficult and controversialsubjects and deal with disagreement in healthy waysCatalyst retreats – clergy/laity teams will lead retreats <strong>for</strong> participants. The purpose ofeach retreat is three-fold:To give participants a meaningful personal experience <strong>for</strong> trans<strong>for</strong>mation andgrowthTo train and equip participants in the use of the tools and processes with othersTo invite all participants to offer/host/co-lead a Catalyst event of their own inlocal churches, circuits, with work teams, in districts, etc. This provides a selfreplicationand helps rein<strong>for</strong>ce learning through teaching.Several retreats have been offered and lead by lay and clergy teams. The Catalyst groupsare progressing at significantly different paces and modes of study, activity anddevelopment. Catalyst core team tell their stories about how applying family systemprinciples and behavior is changing their lives. Catalyst will be a part of the DiscipleshipLeadership Team who will support and continue to develop the Catalyst process with thecollaboration of the Board of Laity.Faith Alive! takes a leadership position within the board and provides one majoropportunity <strong>for</strong> laypersons and clergy to reflect on their role as a spiritual person in theirdaily lives, not just when serving the church. Students of all ages, men and women, comefrom all over the state to seek a deeper relationship with God. The group gathers threetimes a year, giving students time to seek out God and ways to live more faithfully. FaithAlive!’s current course runs from September 2008 through April 2010. Faith Alivecontinues to be committed and intentional about providing a safe, supportive, loving,giving and sharing environment <strong>for</strong> making disciples. The Design Team spends muchtime in evaluation and prayerful planning <strong>for</strong> the future of the program. Challenges thatFaith Alive! Design Team deals with are how to grow and maintain a strong presencewhile keeping the core values of the program and how to live as a spiritual person in theWORLD. The Design Team spends many hours preparing with the invited facultyperson <strong>for</strong> each class to help with discernment and reflection on what is core to FaithAlive! and what can be adapted. Core to Faith Alive! is the opportunity to study withothers seeking more depth in faith development and in providing an environment awayfrom home and work that is conducive to dedicating one’s time to spiritual developmentwith diverse students and faculty/leaders. These Faith Alive! core values align with thepurposes of both the Conference Board of Laity and the Wisconsin Annual Conference.Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 215


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>The Faith Alive! Design Team works continually to make this opportunity the best it canbe <strong>for</strong> laity and clergy to reflect on their role as a spiritual person in their daily lives, notjust when serving the church. Faith Alive! course September 2008-April 2010 completedits third year. Faith Alive! currently has two classes, one that started in September of2010 comprising of three weekends a year and 25 participants and in September of <strong>2011</strong>a new class began with 17 participants. The <strong>2011</strong> class is smaller by design. We foundthat the larger class had some logistical limitations so as a result the Faith Alive! DesignTeam limited the number of participants. Each September following there will be a newtwo-year class beginning. The result is that there will be two courses runningconcurrently with each course’s weekend being scheduled on the same dates and at thesame location. This provides unique opportunities. The second and first year classes willbe able to spend specific time together and walk this journey together, growing,supporting and mentoring each other.Faith Alive!’s website continues to provide online registration and a power pointpresentation is available and can be downloaded and shown in your local congregation,community groups, at board and agency meetings and in small groups. Faith Alive!encourages ecumenical participation, invites community participation and encourages ourcongregations to identify those who are searching and seeking a deeper relationship withGod and developing as a Disciple of Jesus Christ.The 2010 Laity Session of Wisconsin Annual Conference, Appleton, Wisconsin,comprised inspiring music led by Acoustic Grace, Chippewa Falls UMC; other worshipelements including liturgical dance by Susan Eaton Mendenhall; brief presentationshighlighting opportunities <strong>for</strong> engagement and growth: Faith Alive!, Lay ServantMinistries, United Methodist Women’s Hmong House of Good News, and Catalyst; andfollowed by an hour of in<strong>for</strong>mal/interactive time <strong>for</strong> attendees with their District LayLeaders and District Directors of Lay Servant Ministry. This interactive time promotesconnection and builds relationships between members of the annual conference and theirdistrict/regional lay leaders. During this time large sheets of newsprint wereavailable/displayed each with the heading of one of the four focus areas of The UMC, i.e.combating the disease of poverty, engaging in ministry with the poor, developingprincipled Christian leaders, and creating new places <strong>for</strong> new people (new congregations)and/or including revitalizing existing congregations. Attendees were invited to writeresponses of what they know/have seen or heard and what activity(ies) they are aware ofand whether the focus area is given enough emphasis in their congregations and circuits.The Board compiles the results, reviews them, notes the ways The Board can respond andpasses along in<strong>for</strong>mation to other persons and bodies within The Wisconsin Conference<strong>for</strong> their consideration.Immediately preceding and following Laity Session, The Board sponsors AnnualConference 101 classes <strong>for</strong> lay and clergy attending annual conference <strong>for</strong> the first timeand a review <strong>for</strong> those who have attended Annual Conference in the past. AnnualConference 101 prepares attendees <strong>for</strong> what they can expect during Annual Conferenceand how to engage in the <strong>for</strong>mal processes. The classes were well attended, wellreceived and feedback indicated that they were very helpful.The Board prepared a display booth at Annual Conference furnished with resourcematerials and handouts including a large Wisconsin map where attendees could identify(or get help with identifying) the location of their congregation, circuit and district.216 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Resources included Lay Servant Ministry materials, introduction of District Lay Leadersand District Directors of Lay Servant Ministries, as wells as a list of upcomingeducational and connectional events throughout the conference and printed and onlineresources. The Board’s display booth is a wonderful place to connect and communicatewith many laity and clergy in the Wisconsin Conference. The Board members werepresent to build relationships and answer questions.The Lay Servant Ministries (<strong>for</strong>merly Lay Speaking Ministries) trains in many areas, notjust speaking and pulpit supply. The Board attempts to make this better understoodamong laity and clergy alike and with that in mind designed a new Lay ServantMinistries brochure which clearly states that Lay Servant Ministries are caring ministries,leading ministries and communicating ministries with examples of names of classes ineach category as well as including contact in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> District Directors of LayServant Ministries, Wisconsin Conference.

Lay Servant Ministriesis evaluating courses and programs sponsored by, e.g. The United Methodist Women (theannual week of School of Christian Mission) and Wisconsin United MethodistFoundation (annual stewardship workshops and seminars) vis-à-vis qualifying <strong>for</strong> LayServant Ministries course credit. This is to address two specific needs: 1) to makecourse opportunities more accessible to laity throughout the large geographic area of theWisconsin Annual Conference and its districts, 2) and to improve the scope and varietyof courses available at a time when The Board is emphasizing the value and need <strong>for</strong> laityto think in terms of personal, leadership and spiritual growth <strong>for</strong> their lifetimes. Thepurpose is to make Disciples of Jesus Christ who will be equipped <strong>for</strong> ministry withintheir local church and beyond. Through their work to present quality, basic andadvanced courses and as well as to improve and expand access to and variety of courses,the District/Regional Directors of Lay Servant Ministries are blessed to be a blessingbeyond their expectations.Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 217


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>The District Lay Leaders present workshops each spring and fall throughout theWisconsin Annual Conference specifically <strong>for</strong> local church lay leaders, lay members toannual conference and clergy and appropriate <strong>for</strong> all laity especially those in local churchleadership positions and committee members. The purpose is to equip and resource layleaders and lay members to annual conference <strong>for</strong> their roles. Several slides are devotedto their specific tasks/roles while the remaining foundational, supporting and contextualin<strong>for</strong>mation is appropriate <strong>for</strong> all laity. Leadership teams model collaborative ministry ofclergy and laity and include the District Superintendent, district lay leaders andConference Lay Leader. The workshop comprises centering/worship time, Biblical andThe Book of Discipline foundation <strong>for</strong> authority of lay leadership and the roles of layleader and lay member to annual conference, history of The UMC including John Wesleyand spiritual disciplines, organization and structure of The UMC, ministry beyond thewalls/in the community, engaging conflict well, maintaining a supportive and healthyrelationship with his/her pastor, advocating <strong>for</strong> the laity, liaising between local churchand circuit/district/conference, specific printed and online resources, and connecting withand building relationships with the leadership team. These trainings promote anenormous amount of goodwill <strong>for</strong> the district and Wisconsin Annual Conference, giveencouragement which builds each other up, put practical resources and in<strong>for</strong>mation intothe attendees’ hands and minds to equip them <strong>for</strong> service, and connect them to theirdistrict/regional leaders who will resource them. Each attendee is requested to completea four-question at the end of the training. The results of the evaluations are compiledimmediately with all members of the leadership team. Frequent modifications, tweaksand additions are made to the presentation to respond to comments on the evaluations.The Lay Leader/Lay Member to Annual Conference provided training to 125 churches inthis past year and will continue to offer this opportunity to equip the laity in the localchurches in the Spring and Fall in each region.The Board tried an idea that proved very popular. Prior to two of The Board meetings,the District Lay Leaders and District Directors of Lay Servant Ministries met separatelyto discuss topics and programs specific to each of their ministries. This gave rise to thenew Lay Servant Ministries brochure referred to above. This time allowed <strong>for</strong> focusedsharing ideas and resources, asking questions, improving coordination andcommunication, and helping to make more uni<strong>for</strong>m across the Conference.Metro North District Lay Leader chairs the Circuit 30 Council (laity and clergy) andcoaches its communications team.

These leaders are equipped to engage in the ministrywith the poor and combat the diseases of poverty by improving health globally.Conference Lay Leader and Associate Lay Leader attended the joint meeting theConference Lay Leaders and the Directors of Lay Speaking Ministries (Convocation) atthe JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis from 4:00 pm Thursday, February 24 through11:00 am Sunday, February 27. The Convocation began and ended with worship plusdaily morning worship and evening prayers. The keynote speaker was Lovett Weems, aDistinguished Professor of Church Leadership and Director of the Lewis Center <strong>for</strong>Church Leadership at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. Weemspresented in three sessions including Q&A time from Thursday evening through Fridayafternoon talking about leadership and particularly lay leadership against the backdrop ofchurch organization and history. From the beginning the Methodist movement involvedboth lay preachers and lay leaders…women preachers …members from working andlower classes …and minorities especially African-American. The Wesleyan movementhas been in the leader making business from the beginning. Leaders should function asthe connection between the past and the future. Change is not becoming somethingdifferent than we are. Change is becoming more of what we are in a selective way.Weems talked about how demographics in Methodist churches have changed since 19thcentury including what Weems calls the worship recession from 1968-2009. There arefewer people giving more money – this trend can’t continue. We need a denominationalrefocus and a conference refocus to steward and extend the influence of the mission ofthe conference within the geographic boundary of the conference. The question is: Ifyour church closed today, who would miss it other than the church members?One of the five afternoon break-out groups addressed the topic of the Call to Action.People were variously up to speed about the Call to Action. This session includedcirculating a portion of the 248-page report of the ACTA Steering Committee created bythe Council of Bishops and Connectional Table as well as a discussion noting that thereport can be found in its entirety on the UMC website, describing steps in the process,reporting the status of the process and inquiring about the import of the recommendationson our conferences, the ability to meaningfully be connected to and resourced by theGeneral Church, and sharing concerns about the integrity of the laity voice in theproposed reconfiguration.Saturday morning, Annual Conference Lay Leaders and Directors of Lay SpeakingMinistries held separate business meetings including a in<strong>for</strong>mation about the process toprepare and present the Lay Leader address at the General Conference, legislation <strong>for</strong>general conference that might be recommended by the Association of Annual ConferenceLay Leaders.Meals and break times were great networking opportunities to meet people. Some thingswe learned are that the Conference Lay Leaders in a couple other jurisdictions are muchmore connected than we are in the North Central Jurisdiction. They know about the Callto Action, have discussed it together and with their bishops and had copies in hand. Onthe other hand, we learned that Wisconsin Conference Associate Lay Leader was just oneof two Associate Lay Leaders present at this convocation, the other being from Iowa.The Conference Board of Laity has good, strong programs that foster spiritual growth,train leaders and provide new opportunities <strong>for</strong> church members to be strengthened inReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 219

These are different pathways to the same goal: they all align to revitalize,individually and within a congregation, circuit and conference.The priorities set by the Board of Laity were initially measured as our culture measuressuccess, by 1) body count, 2) contact hours, 3) cost per person and 4) feedback. Twoprograms, Faith Alive! and Lay Leader/Lay Member to Annual Conference trainings,obtain written participant evaluations at the conclusion of each event/weekend. Theseevaluations are compiled and distributed among the leadership/design teams. In this way,we can measure the effectiveness of these programs beyond numbers. We can get to abetter place: the heart of the meaning of these programs <strong>for</strong> the participants in their livesby their own testimony. What we have learned is the trans<strong>for</strong>ming power of thedesign/relevance of these programs and the ministry/witness of the faculty/leadershipteams. God is ever creating and recreating; so, the life of these participants is unfoldingspurred by a newfound willingness to respond affirmatively to God’s call. We cannot seeimmediately all that they will become, and we may never know all the fruit of theirtrans<strong>for</strong>mations. We do know already significant changes/decisions some have made.They tell/write their stories and live out their faith in the world.Submitted byDorthy Radley Conference Lay LeaderDeanna Shimko Associate Lay LeaderBOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRYThe Roles and Responsibilities of the Board of Ordained MinistryThe Board of Ordained Ministry is responsible <strong>for</strong> the recruitment, credentialing andnurture of the clergy of the Annual Conference. The work of the Board is an integral partof the development of principled spiritual leaders <strong>for</strong> the church and the world. TheBoard relates to everyone who experiences God’s call to professional ministry in theWisconsin Conference in order to help them clarify that call and understand theopportunities available within The United Methodist Church to respond to that call, andacts on behalf of the church to determine how the church can best affirm each person’scall to ministry. These primary responsibilities are defined in the twenty-six specific tasksidentified in 635.2 a through 635.2z of the 2008 Book of Discipline, as well as theresponsibilities of the Registrar of the Board found in 635.3a through 635.3e of the 2008Discipline.United Methodist Christians are called to trans<strong>for</strong>m the world by making disciples ofJesus Christ. In Wisconsin we have said that we will do that by living, giving and lovingbeyond expectation. In order to turn that vision into reality, leaders are needed to showthe way. The Board of Ordained Ministry identifies, recruits, credentials, and providesopportunities <strong>for</strong> the nurture and growth of clergy leadership <strong>for</strong> the Annual Conference.Effective clergy leadership is one of the keys to equipping local churches <strong>for</strong> ministry.Working together with the District Committees on Ordained Ministry, which byDiscipline are sub-committees of the Board, the Board of Ordained Ministry determineson behalf of the annual conference whether those who offer themselves in service asclergypersons meet the qualifications, ethical standards, and high expectations of TheUnited Methodist Church <strong>for</strong> its clergy, so that the churches of the annual conference220 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>may have competent, effective, and skilled clergy leadership. The Board then makes itsrecommendations to the Clergy Session of the Annual Conference <strong>for</strong> their consideration.<strong>High</strong>lights of the Past YearThe Board of Ordained Ministry meets twice each year at the Bishop Rader RetreatCenter at Pine Lake Camp. The Board interviews candidates <strong>for</strong> Provisional andAssociate Membership in February, and candidates <strong>for</strong> Full Membership and Ordinationin November. Beginning in the fall of 2008 the Board changed its interview process.Candidates now come to Pine Lake overnight to meet with the Board over a two-dayperiod. In addition to three <strong>for</strong>mal interviews, board members get to know candidatesin<strong>for</strong>mally over meals, in shared worship and communion, and in other unstructuredsettings. This change has resulted in a significant improvement in the credentialingprocess. One of the consequences of this change, however, is that the Board’s meetingsare lengthened, because it takes longer to interview each group of candidates, andcandidates are at camp overnight. This change in the interview process has increasedthe cost of the Board’s meetings. While the Board does everything it can to hold downcosts, we believe that this improved interview process is a long-term investment in thefuture clergy leadership of the annual conference.At any given moment the Board is caring <strong>for</strong> 150 to 200 individuals who are exploring acall to ministry, enrolled in the candidacy certification process, serving as Licensed LocalPastors, moving towards commissioning and Provisional Membership, serving asProvisional Members while moving towards ordination, or seeking to transfer theircredentials into the Wisconsin Annual Conference from other Annual Conferences of TheUnited Methodist Church or other Christian denominations. In 2010, 26 people attendedInquiring Candidates Retreats, 19 persons became Certified Candidates <strong>for</strong> Ministry, 17persons (including some who attended Inquiring Candidates Retreats in 2010) enrolled inthe Candidacy Certification process, 10 persons were commissioned as ProvisionalElders of the Annual Conference, and 3 persons were commissioned as ProvisionalDeacons of the Annual Conference. 6 persons were Ordained as Elders in the WisconsinAnnual Conference of The United Methodist Church. 9 clergy persons transferred intothe Wisconsin Annual Conference, while 2 persons transferred to other AnnualConferences. 20 clergy members of the Annual Conference retired, and 13 clergymembers of the Annual Conference died.In the course of shepherding people through all of these processes, thirty-four personscompleted psychological assessments at North Central Ministry Development Center, andthe Board conducted over 50 background checks on individuals seeking a clergyrelationship with the annual conference. Both of these measures are required by TheBook of Discipline.There are currently 30 Provisional Members of the Annual Conference who are movingtowards Ordination under the direct supervision of the Board of Ordained Ministry.During 2010 the Board established a new “Provisional Residency Program” <strong>for</strong> thoseprovisional members of the conference who have completed all of their basic educationalrequirements. The Provisional Residency Program consists of a summer provisionalmembers gathering/retreat, and two provisional residency seminars - held in October andMay. One of these seminars focuses on the practice of ministry, while the other focuseson a theological topic. Participation in the provisional residency program is required byReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 221


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>the Book of Discipline. Provisional Members are also expected to participate in aProvisional Mentoring group. There are six of these mentoring groups around theconference, which usually meet monthly.90 Licensed Local Pastors are supervised by the eight District Committees on OrdainedMinistry, which are sub-committees of the Board. As we prepare <strong>for</strong> the <strong>2011</strong> AnnualConference Session, the Board has interviewed or will interview more than 15individuals who have applied <strong>for</strong> Commissioning and Provisional Membership, AssociateMembership, or Ordination and Full Membership.During 2010 over 40 members of the eight District Committees on Ordained Ministryreceived training on their responsibilities. Resources have been provided to both clergyand lay members of the Annual Conference to assist them in identifying persons in theircongregations who may be experiencing a call to ministry, and in the steps to take whensomeone comes to them indicating a desire to explore ministry in The United MethodistChurch.Through the Ministerial Education Fund 26 individuals received Seminary Scholarshipassistance, and 23 Licensed Local Pastors received scholarship assistance <strong>for</strong> theirrequired Course of Study Classes or Licensing School.The Board consults with the cabinet when clergy from other Annual Conferences ordenominations are being considered <strong>for</strong> transfer into the conference or appointment toserve Wisconsin United Methodist churches. Whenever clergy members of the AnnualConference request a change in their relationship (retirement, various kinds of leave,honorable location, etc.) with the Annual Conference or approval of an extensionministry setting, the Board of Ordained Ministry has a role in that process.Each August the Board sponsors a two-day “New Clergy Orientation” program.Beginning in 2010 this program is now held at Pine Lake Camp. In 2010 about 20clergy persons serving their first appointment in Wisconsin received orientation to theministries of the Annual Conference and training in ethics and boundaries. The Board,Cabinet, Conference Staff, the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation, and otheragencies share in<strong>for</strong>mation about the work of the Annual Conference with persons whoare serving their first appointment in Wisconsin or who are returning to parish ministryfrom leave or an extension ministry appointment. The retreat also includes intensivetraining in sexual ethics and the maintenance of proper boundaries.The work of the Board of Ordained Ministry and the District Committees on OrdainedMinistry requires thousands of hours of time each year on the part of the 34 Boardmembers, the 70 District Committee members, and the 4 District Superintendents. Thesededicated people willingly give of their time because they believe in the importance ofthe work of Clergy Leadership Development in the Annual Conference.The Board of Ordained Ministry depends heavily upon the staff support provided by theExecutive Secretary of the Board, who functions as the registrar and maintains thepersonnel records <strong>for</strong> the nearly 200 people who are under the care of the Board. Heprovides guidance <strong>for</strong> those who are entering ministry, which is an incredibly lengthy andcomplex process, as well as training <strong>for</strong> mentors, District Committees on OrdainedMinistry, and District Superintendents.

He also conducts background investigations on all candidates <strong>for</strong>any clergy position in the Wisconsin Conference, and is responsible <strong>for</strong> the preliminaryevaluation of all psychological assessments <strong>for</strong> candidates.Plans <strong>for</strong> the Coming YearAs we move through <strong>2011</strong> and into 2012, the Board of Ordained Ministry will be payingparticular attention to the report of the Ministry Study Commission to the General Boardof <strong>High</strong>er Education and Ministry, as well as other legislative changes which are beingproposed to to the 2012 General Conference. These proposals have the potential <strong>for</strong>making significant, substantial changes to the ordering of ministry in The UnitedMethodist Church, and could have a major impact on the work of the Board.The Board has identified four ongoing challenges in its ministry:a. Recruiting high quality, talented young people (under age 35) into the ministryof The United Methodist Churchb. Finding ways to reduce the financial costs/burdens that must be assumed bythose who do respond to a call to enter United Methodist Ministryc. Streamlining the process of entering ministry while at the same time meeting allof the requirements of the Book of Discipline related to the candidacy/ordinationprocess.d. Educating current clergy about the importance of continued growth in theirknowledge and skills in order to improve the overall effectiveness of the clergyof the Annual Conference.The Board’s goal is to provide the congregations of the Wisconsin Annual Conferencewith the most qualified, competent and capable clergy leadership possible. As the Boardguides candidates through the journey from fitness to readiness to effectiveness inministry, we are always mindful that the people under our care will have a direct impactupon every United Methodist in Wisconsin <strong>for</strong> generations to come.Richard Strait, ChairpersonIntroductory CommentsJOINT BOARD OF PENSIONS,INSURANCE & EQUITABLE COMPENSATIONThe Joint Board of Pensions, Insurance & Equitable Compensation (Joint Board) hasadministrative, fiduciary and stewardship responsibility <strong>for</strong> the following:Pensions, death and disability benefits <strong>for</strong> 1) active and retired clergy under appointmentto the Wisconsin Conference, and 2) active and retired laity employed by the WisconsinConference.Group health insurance <strong>for</strong> 1) active and retired clergy under appointment to theWisconsin Conference, 2) active and retired laity employed by the WisconsinReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 223

This amount isconsistent with the number in the previous year and doubtless echoes the continuation ofthe economic downturn. The Joint Board continues our attempt to balance premium costswith health insurance benefits through our participation in HealthFlex, the UnitedMethodist denomination’s health insurance plan, to active clergy and lay personnel of theWisconsin Conference. Over the past few years our participants have had to shouldermore of the cost of their medical care through increased deductibles and co-pays in orderto reduce the total cost of health insurance. Our retirees, who are age 65 and older,continue to be insured through the HealthFlex Medicare supplemental health insuranceplan.When the West Wisconsin and East Wisconsin Conferences of the Methodist Churchmerged along with the Wisconsin Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren, theWest Wisconsin Pension Trust Fund and the East Wisconsin Pension Trust Fund wereestablished. The East Wisconsin Pension Trust is administered by a separate Board, andits audited financial statements are provided elsewhere in the Conference Yearbook and<strong>Journal</strong>. The West Wisconsin Pension Trust is administered by the Joint Board. Itsassets are invested in a separate fund in the Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation.Financial in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> the West Wisconsin Pension Trust is as follows:1/1/2010 beginning balance $377,213Less benefits paid in 2010 (45,820)Less administrative expenses (2,408)Plus earnings 5,824Plus unrealized gain 20,76012/31/2010 ending balance $355,569As is customary, the Joint Board sponsored a Retirement Seminar <strong>for</strong> those clergyplanning to retire in the current year.The Task Force on Future Retiree Health Insurance Benefits made their report to the JointBoard in 2008. The task <strong>for</strong>ce used actuarial data to look at how to fund current andfuture retiree health insurance benefits and reduce a significant projected funding liabilityin this area. The task <strong>for</strong>ce recommended changes in the shared funding of these benefitsbased on the unfunded liability figure. The Annual Conference of 2008 approved thenecessary changes related to these benefit. Our submitted budget to the Council onFinance and Administration <strong>for</strong> 2012 reflects the action of the Annual Conference andfollows the plan approved by the Annual Conference. This amount will remain level intothe future. You may recall that the <strong>2011</strong> budget reduced our submitted amount by224 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>$100,000. We are glad that we’re back on track to keep our funding level at the amountagreed upon by the Annual Conference in those 2008 changes.The Joint Board has been diligently working through the Health Insurance Subcommitteeto continue to focus on the wellness of our participants. As a result, we have continued tosponsor an incentive program through HealthFlex. We have continued in a walkingfitness program through Virgin Health Miles. This program encourages all enrollees inthe Conference active health insurance plan (HealthFlex) to participate in the walkingprogram by using a special pedometer. The participant then downloads his/her steps to awebsite in order to monitor his/her progress. HealthFlex financial incentives are providedto the participants dependent upon various levels achieved. In addition, we continue tohighly recommend completion of the WebMD “HealthQuotient” assessment, a healthassessment tool. “HealthQuotient” provides a personalized report and a prioritized list ofhealth concerns and recommends actions to help design a wellness plan. There is no costto the participant to take the “HealthQuotient” assessment. Last year 95% of ourparticipants and spouses took the HealthQuotient. If our participants do not complete theHealthQuotient assessment between August 1 and September 30 this year their deductiblewill increase an additional $250 <strong>for</strong> the year 2012. Research by HealthFlex shows thatthose who complete the assessment have fewer claims. Last year 317 of our activeparticipants took advantage of the Pro-Check Screening blood draw at the AnnualConference session. This was almost three times more people than the previous year!Plans <strong>for</strong> the Coming YearOur Health Insurance subcommittee will continue to carefully monitor, with assistancefrom HealthFlex, what changes will be necessary as a result of the new HealthcareRe<strong>for</strong>m Law. As of this report it is too soon to know all the ramifications of the law <strong>for</strong>our plans, but most of the significant changes will go into effect in 2014.The Joint Board will continue our wellness initiative. Eligible enrollees will be stronglyencouraged to once again complete the WebMD “HealthQuotient” assessment and also tocomplete an annual wellness exam. We are also sponsoring a Quest Diagnosticsscreening at the site of Annual Conference this year <strong>for</strong> our participants. Group rateswith a significant discount are also offered <strong>for</strong> Weight Watchers participation <strong>for</strong> eligibleenrollees.We hope to continue our ongoing ef<strong>for</strong>ts of monitoring our rates within reasonablepercentage increases while offering competitive benefit levels <strong>for</strong> our actives and retirees.We are, however, aware that this is becoming increasingly more difficult as the cost ofhealth insurance increases at a rate higher than inflation. Our recent claims experiencehas not been favorable in the last few years and this also drives our renewal costs higher.The higher average age of our participants also increases our costs. We have looked at amore consumer driven model of health insurance through HealthFlex as an option <strong>for</strong> thefuture as well as a Market Exchange program <strong>for</strong> our Medicare Supplement participants.The significant changes in the stock market and the general economy have continued toaffect the holdings of the General Board of Pension & Health Benefits. Fortunately themarket has recovered in the past year and has partially mitigated the previous decrease inthe value of funds held by the General Board in the various pension plans. There<strong>for</strong>e theadditional funds the General Board indicated were necessary to recover from this onceevery seventy-year economic condition have now been reduced to a lesser amount. ThusReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 225


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>we are happy to report that we did not increase the percentage charged to the local church<strong>for</strong> pension obligations this past year.

CF&A also reviews financial operations of the Conference toassure adequate internal controls are in place and suggests ways to improve finances bothfrom an efficiency and a control perspective.As of December 31, 2010, the Wisconsin Annual Conference had indebtedness of$241,947, incurred to fund improvements to the Sun Prairie Conference Center building.For 2010, the Wisconsin Annual Conference paid in full the General Conferenceapportionments <strong>for</strong> the 21st consecutive year. In addition to apportionments, WisconsinUnited Methodists gave over $154,000 to the special Sunday offerings and another$1,553,000 to Advances and other benevolent giving through the Conference.Apportionment receipts in 2010 were $624,690 less than budgeted. At the same time,expenses were also $501,878 less than budgeted, resulting in an excess of expenses overrevenues of $122,812. This resulted in a reduction in our cash reserves, which at yearend 2010 stood at $474,765, which is $181,400 below the Conference goal of having acash reserve equal to 10% of the Annual Conference Budget.CFA wishes to thank all those churches that paid 100 percent or more of theirapportionments and those churches that have made significant improvement toward 100percent giving. We encourage those churches that did not achieve 100 percent payment orimprovement in their apportionment giving to work hard at increasing their connectionalgiving.Plans <strong>for</strong> the coming year:Our most important task is to continue to monitor apportionment receipts and expenses tomitigate financial deficits and maintain a positive cash flow. We will continue to workwith the Cabinet to increase apportionment giving.In conjunction with the Communications office and the Discipleship Leadership Team,CF&A is working to better tell the story of the ministries of our Wisconsin AnnualConference.We will continue to review various areas of financial operation to assure sound internalcontrols are in place.We will continue to oversee the Conference Finance Office to assure that the financialduties of the Conference are carried out in an efficient and effective manner.Mark Geisthardt, ChairpersonLisa King, Director of Finance and Administration234 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

Philosophy and PrioritiesThe Wisconsin United Methodist Foundation wants to serve the “connectional church”and seeks to fulfill its underlying mission of teaching, resourcing, and serving throughoutour Wisconsin Annual Conference. The Foundation is a totally self-funded ministry,continually increasing our level of services and grants to the life and ministry of theWisconsin United Methodist Church. Through careful administration and planning, westrive to provide programming, resources and consultation to all United Methodistindividuals and congregations in the state, regardless of their distance from our offices.We have an expanded conference room/display area at the Foundation office. In additionto displaying planned giving materials and brochures that are available through ouroffices, we also have a display of over 20 current financial “stewardship” programs andresources. This is intended to provide lay and clergy with a hands-on opportunity toreview annual campaign programs, video and study materials, and other ideas <strong>for</strong>revitalizing stewardship in the congregation. A brochure summarizing each of thesecampaigns, ordering in<strong>for</strong>mation and cost is also available through our office. We existto serve the entire church!As of December 31, 2010, our Church Mortgage Loan Program had 35 active loans <strong>for</strong>churches, including one <strong>for</strong> the Wisconsin Annual Conference. Loans total $9.5 millionand are often at better interest rates <strong>for</strong> the congregations, leaving more funds available<strong>for</strong> programs and other local church expenses. The corresponding Church Loan PooledFund is providing other congregations with enhanced investment return over ourtraditional Fixed Income Fund. Last year, 231 church accounts, and 20 Conferenceaccounts took advantage of the enhanced return available with our Church Loan PooledFund. This is a wonderful example of churches assisting other churches.The Foundation assisted Appleton: Emmanuel with their capital campaign <strong>for</strong> debtreduction from their elevator project and to raise funds <strong>for</strong> new doors, drapes, andwindows. A PreCampaign Evaluation Study was held in October of 2010 as they look tomake their building more accessible.Charitable Gift Annuities, available through the Foundation to all Wisconsin UnitedMethodists, continue to be the most popular way <strong>for</strong> donors to make a gift to the church.Donors establishing Charitable Gift Annuities receive an income payment <strong>for</strong> theremainder of their lifetime. For donors making “life income” gifts exceeding $50,000, aCharitable Remainder Trust is still the most frequently used gift vehicle. We takeseriously the need <strong>for</strong> our staff to be current in the regulations and opportunitiesimpacting the area of planned giving, <strong>for</strong> the benefit of our donors and the church.240 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

Helwig, PresidentMOVING DIRECTORNo Report ReceivedIntroductory CommentsCONFERENCE SECRETARYThe Office of the Conference Secretary is one of the “Conference Support Ministries.”As “the keeper of the record” the Conference Secretary indirectly supports the work of allother conference agencies, officers and staff by gathering in<strong>for</strong>mation about their work,processing and disseminating that in<strong>for</strong>mation to the members of the annual conference,recording the actions of the annual conference, and communicating that in<strong>for</strong>mation to avariety of agencies, organizations, and of course the local churches of the conference.The conference secretary facilitates the flow of in<strong>for</strong>mation among the various elementsof the conference by providing contact in<strong>for</strong>mation in the journal, and maintains ahistorical record that can be used in future years as a reference of previous conferenceactions. I also serve as a member of the Program and Arrangements Committee, andReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 243


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>work with the other leaders of the Annual Conference to plan, organize, and facilitate theAnnual Conference session.My work indirectly benefits all Wisconsin United Methodists by providing in<strong>for</strong>mationthat will enable the members of the Annual Conference to do their work, the boards andagencies of the Annual Conference to communicate about their work, and the clergy andstaff of the Annual Conference to be in communication with one another.<strong>High</strong>lights and Challenges of the Past YearI am pleased to report that preparation of the 2010 Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong> wentmuch more smoothly in 2010 than it did in 2009. 2010 was also the first year that theConference <strong>Journal</strong> was produced <strong>for</strong> general distribution only in electronic <strong>for</strong>m. Thischange saved the annual conference about $12,000 in printing and distribution costscompared to the prior year. The electronic version of the <strong>Journal</strong> was available <strong>for</strong>distribution and on the website in October, 2010. Printed copies of the <strong>Journal</strong> wereproduced <strong>for</strong> distribution to those General Church agencies that we are required by theBook of Discipline to provide a <strong>Journal</strong> to, and <strong>for</strong> use in conference offices. We willcontinue in <strong>2011</strong> to produce the Conference <strong>Journal</strong> <strong>for</strong> general distribution only inelectronic <strong>for</strong>m.Much of my work as Conference Secretary in 2010 has been directed towards preparation<strong>for</strong> the election of delegates to the 2012 General and Jurisdictional Conferences. Thiselection will take place at the <strong>2011</strong> Annual Conference Session. I have also assisted theConference Rules Committee in reviewing certain sections of the Conference Rules asthey worked to prepare the major revision in rules and policies which is being presentedat the <strong>2011</strong> Annual Conference Session.Plans <strong>for</strong> <strong>2011</strong> and 20121. <strong>2011</strong> is an election year in The United Methodist Church. We will be electingdelegates to the 2012 General Conference and considering petitions to theGeneral Conference related to changes in The Book of Discipline. This happensonce every four years. The election of delegates and consideration of petitionsrequire additional plenary time at the annual conference session. In addition tothe usual materials which are prepared <strong>for</strong> annual conference, this year we haveprinted biographical sketches <strong>for</strong> those who have identified themselves ascandidates <strong>for</strong> election as delegates to the General and/or JurisdictionalConferences.2. 2012 is the last year of the current quadrennium. According to our conferencerules, lay members of the annual conference are elected by their charge <strong>for</strong> theentire quadrennium, and we must “equalize” the number of lay and clergymembers of the annual conference prior to the beginning of the nextquadrennium. In the summer of 2012 I will be calculating the number of laymembers of the annual conference that each pastoral charge is entitled to elect<strong>for</strong> the 2013-2016 quadrennium, and communicating that to each pastor in time<strong>for</strong> the annual church conferences in the fall of 2012.244 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

All the Time. Everywhere.Support from United Methodists around the world has enabled Africa University tostrongly emerge from Zimbabwe’s recent economic and political crises.“As we have endured Zimbabwe’s national crisis, we have, indeed discovered not onlywhat we are, but rein<strong>for</strong>ced whose we are,” says Dr. Fanuel Tagwira, vice chancellor.“We are preparing Africa’s newest generation of leaders while proclaiming our faith andallegiance to Jesus Christ.”The University is preparing to celebrate its 20th anniversary of ministry and service toAfrica in 2012.The University offers its thanks to the 21 annual conferences that met 100 percent oftheir apportionments <strong>for</strong> the Africa University Fund. In 2010, United Methodistscontributed nearly $2.2 million to the Africa University Fund. That represents more than86 percent of the $2.5 million goal. The Fund supports general operating costs, such asfaculty and staff salaries and upkeep of facilities.While meeting apportionments is important, second mile giving to the University’sendowment <strong>for</strong> student scholarships is vital. Our students have a great need <strong>for</strong>scholarship support.Africa University graduated 349 students in June 2010, and opened the 2010-<strong>2011</strong>school year with 1,200 students representing 25 African countries. Since opening in1992, more than 3,500 students have earned bachelor and master’s degrees. AfricaUniversity prepares leaders in theology, agriculture, business and social sciences, healthsciences, and peace and justice.Africa University’s curriculum and support of the surrounding community reflects ourbiblical commitment to service and our Wesleyan heritage. Our graduates are prepared toserve Africa in ways that reflect the church’s four areas of focus, ministering to the poor,Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 245


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>combating diseases of poverty, creating and revitalizing congregations, and developingprincipled Christian leaders.The 2010 graduating class included 39 recipients of the University’s inaugural Master’sDegree in intellectual property. They represented 15 African countries. Africa Universityis the first university in sub-Saharan Africa to offer this degree. It stresses the value ofprotecting intellectual property <strong>for</strong> the people of Africa. It is one more example of theethos of the University – preparing leaders who remain in Africa to serve Africa.Another important aspect of the University is our commitment to gender diversity. Ourstudent body is nearly evenly divided between females and males. That is a significantdevelopment in Africa – a positive sign <strong>for</strong> the expanding role of women across thecontinent.Another positive sign is the commitment of African United Methodists to take an evenmore active role in supporting the University. African bishops broke ground in the 2010-<strong>2011</strong> academic year on a new housing facility <strong>for</strong> staff – funded by annual conferences inAfrica. This housing unit is expected to be ready <strong>for</strong> the opening of the <strong>2011</strong>-2012academic year in September.Africa University is preparing to add additional cyber campuses. Studentapplications far outstrip our ability to educate students on our Old Mutare campus. Thatis why we are adding more locations to our on-line cyber courses. Our first virtualcampus is located in Maputo, Mozambique. As we broaden our service to all of Africa,we are planning virtual campuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Côted’Ivoire and Sierra Leone. A key to the success of these cyber campuses will be our new,expanded ability to reach the world through the Internet. We recently finished connectingwith a new high speed, fiber optic cable system that links Zimbabwe with the world.All of this is happening through the prayers and financial support of United Methodistsaround the world. Encourage your church to meet its Africa University Fund sharedministry obligation this year. Your support is part of The United Methodist Church’sresponse to God’s call to serve Africa. Your support helps to prepare Africa’s nextgeneration of leaders. They will spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, improve health careand living conditions, expand business and commerce, and educate another generation ofleaders in this rapidly changing region of the world.James H.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Candler’s student body continues to reflect the diversity and breadth of the Christianfaithful. Our enrollment stands at 469, with 358 seeking the Master of Divinity, 67 theMaster of Theological Studies, 16 the Master of Theology, 14 the Doctor of Theology,and 14 enrolled as Special, Non-Degree students. The total student population is 25% USethnic minority, 9% international, and 52% women. Forty-six denominations arerepresented, with 52% of MDiv students being United Methodist. The median age of ourentering class of MDiv students is 26, with 57% of total enrollment under thirty.To ensure that our students are prepared <strong>for</strong> leadership in an increasingly global context,Candler continues its emphasis on internationalizing the curriculum. This fall, Rev. Dr.Beauty Maenzanise, dean of the theology faculty at Africa University in Zimbabwe,joined us as the 2010-11 McDonald Chair in the Study of Jesus and Culture, and the Rev.Dr. Margot Kaessmann, <strong>for</strong>mer head of the 14 million-member Protestant church inGermany, joined us <strong>for</strong> a semester as visiting Theologian-in-Residence. This year,Candler has academic exchange partnerships with theology schools across five continentsand nine countries, including many related to The United Methodist Church. In additionto our ongoing summer internship program with the Methodist Church in the Bahamas,Candler once again partnered with International Relief and Development, Inc., to sendeight student interns as far as Cambodia and as near as Gulfport, Miss., to address a broadrange of issues, including democracy and governance, HIV/AIDS, child poverty andmortality, and community development. Travel seminars in 2010-<strong>2011</strong> include theMiddle East Travel Seminar in May-June and World Methodist Evangelism Instituteevangelism seminars to the Philippines, India, and Colombia.A hallmark of the Candler MDiv experience, the two-year Contextual Education programshapes our students’ pastoral identities by interweaving service at ministry sites andchurches with academic analysis in the classroom and spiritual reflection in pastor-ledsmall groups. In any given week, Candler deploys more than 250 ConEd studentsthroughout the region to minister to people in congregations, hospitals, and social serviceagencies. This year, we will expand Candler Advantage, a program designed to pay risingthird-year MDiv students <strong>for</strong> summer internships in congregations so they canconcentrate fully on honing their pastoral skills beyond the first two years of ConEd.Candler’s Lifelong Learning events strengthen the church by providing opportunities <strong>for</strong>clergy and lay leaders to learn more about the practice of ministry. Fall Conference 2010focused on conflict trans<strong>for</strong>mation; the spring event featured poet, author, and funeraldirector Tom Lynch along with Candler’s own Tom Long, addressing “The GoodFuneral.” The <strong>2011</strong> Fall Conference highlights “The Art of Preaching in the 21stCentury,” with a chance to learn from some of the most respected names in preaching.In addition to our Lifelong Learning events, Candler oversees the educational process ofmore than 900 people each year through the Course of Study regional school and our fiveextension schools in the Southeast.Despite today’s challenging economic climate, Candler remains committed to makingtheological education financially possible <strong>for</strong> our students.

Wedo not pretend to be a perfect community but we strive hard to welcome all who comethrough our doors and care <strong>for</strong> the shalom, the well-being, of each individual and as wellas the Common Good.Drew is “a special place” because of the many ways we seek to equip and empowerleaders <strong>for</strong> Christian ministry through the numerous programs we offer:M.Div., S.T.M., M.A., M.A.Min., D.Min., and Ph D.;Continuing Education opportunities <strong>for</strong> pastors and lay people;Internships through Communities of Shalom in Shalom zones world widePartnership <strong>for</strong> Religious Education in Prisons program in a local men’s prisonand women’s prison, where Drew students and inmates study and learn together;Certification in Spiritual Formation and Camp and Retreat;250 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

Parish Nursing isrecognized as a calling to the health ministry of the United Methodist church.Parish nurses serve in their local communities providing assistance and support whenspecific services are requested or needed. These services may include regular bloodpressure screening at the church or in collaboration with a community agency, providingan opportunity <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mal assessment and referral <strong>for</strong> appropriate evaluation and care258 Reports of Boards, Committees and Agencies

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>decision to insure that as we confront issues of poverty and homelessness we are alsodirectly in ministry with families <strong>for</strong> whom mental illness is a major factor.UMCS is building 14 more townhome units and a ten unit apartment building to becompleted in 2012. Five of these units will also be designated <strong>for</strong> families referredthrough Milwaukee County Behavioral Health.The family resource center is operating in its new and permanent location on the firstfloor of the Washington Park Apartment building.

As the convening organization <strong>for</strong> the Washington Park Partners(WPP) UMCS has led an ef<strong>for</strong>t to identify the priorities <strong>for</strong> the residents, businesses andorganizations in the neighborhood and develop strategies to meet those priorities.Financial realityWith the cuts in apportionment support over the last four years along with drops inindividual donor giving during a difficult economic period our yearly revenue is down$100,000. While it sounds noble to be doing more with less, the reality is that we haveonly one social worker when we critically need two. Many of the residents and neighborswith whom we are in ministry need more intense social service support that can bestretched over one social workers time. We do not have adequate janitorial ormaintenance staff to meet the needs of our growing facilities. While one sympatheticsupporter suggested that we might need to cut back our level of care to adjust to thecurrent economic reality, we know that the only way to be faithful in the ministry towhich we are called is to seek new revenue streams while calling upon our historic sourceof support, The United Methodist Church and individual United Methodists, to findcreative new ways to give generously through apportionment and direct giving.Cindy Thompson, Development DirectorReports of Boards, Committees and Agencies 261


<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>UNITED METHODIST HOSPITALS MINISTRYWhat is this ministry? This ministry is an approved ADVANCE of the AnnualConference and funding is solicited from congregations and individuals as well asthrough the Health & Welfare Committee of the Conference Board of Global Ministries.The United Methodist Hospitals Ministry provides a part time (0.5 f.t.e.) chaplain whovisits United Methodists hospitalized in the Madison hospitals. The chaplain visits thosewho come from a distance (beyond the immediate Madison area) and provides aconnectional link with the local congregations and pastors. The chaplain communicateswith the person’s pastor when appropriate and becomes a ministry presence when thepastor is not able to visit because of distance or timeliness.A chaplaincy committee of lay and clergy persons oversees the work of the chaplain, setsgoals and compensation, and assists in fund raising. This ministry is regularlycommunicated to congregations throughout the Wisconsin Conference by the work of thechaplain and chaplaincy committee through personal appearances and contacts,in<strong>for</strong>mational mailing updates and at Annual Conference.What is the history of this ministry and major accomplishments in recent years?This ministry began some time in the 1950’s when the part time Methodist HospitalChaplain of Madison visited Methodists in the other hospitals on behalf of the MethodistChurch. In the late 1960’s when the Methodist Hospital chaplain became full time at thehospital, this ministry was picked up by one or two congregations in Madison whoaffirmed the need to provide a healing ministry within the area hospitals. It has evolvedfrom parish pastors providing care, to a volunteer chaplain and finally to a paid part timechaplain early in the 1980’s and became what it is today an Annual ConferenceADVANCE ministry program through the Health & Welfare Committee and the Board ofGlobal Ministries. It continues to be a viable ministry today as persons hospitalized aresicker, stays are shorter and parish pastors are stretched <strong>for</strong> adequate time to visitparishioners in the distant Madison hospitals. It has provided spiritual care and com<strong>for</strong>tto many United Methodists hospitalized and has strengthened (sometimes re-established)the connections with local pastors and churches.The challenge remains high each year to provide the funding to continue to salary thispart time chaplaincy. The program is primarily dependent upon giving from churchesand individuals. Some funds are also contributed to this mission ADVANCE fromGolden Cross and BGM Funding through Conference apportionment giving.In 2010, the chaplain and chaplaincy committee produced an in<strong>for</strong>mational DVD of theUMHM and premiered it at Annual Conference. It was sent to each pastoral charge to beused as an educational and mission option <strong>for</strong> church support of the ministry.In September, 2010 our chaplain <strong>for</strong> 16 years Rev. Fid Sailor resigned due to healthconcerns. The immediate goal was to recruit, hire and orient a chaplain to step into theministry.Our new chaplain is hired - Rev. Jane Follmer ZekoffRev.

Chaplain Jane’s presence supports the person’s faith in the midst oftheir health care as well as fostering the connections with their pastor and home church.Our chaplain finds that many people have become disconnected from the church <strong>for</strong> avariety of reasons. Often, the chaplain has the opportunity to assist persons re-establishthose connections. Through conversation, encouragement and personal connections tolocal pastors, <strong>for</strong>mer parishioners have found new support and care from the Church andpastor back home.UM Hospitals Ministry’s goals are . . .1. To visit United Methodists who live beyond the immediate Madison area and arehospitalized in Madison hospitals (Meriter, St. Marys and University Hospitals).2. To communicate with the patient’s pastor and church when appropriate <strong>for</strong>continuity of ministry, support and appropriate follow-up when patient returns home.3. To communicate the mission of the United Methodist Hospitals Ministry to pastors,church leaders and members throughout the Wisconsin Conference and to solicit theprayers of healing and financial support <strong>for</strong> the program.4. To continue to develop, and in<strong>for</strong>m pastors, church members and individuals of thelong term program financial goals and to solicit giving through the United MethodistHospitals Ministry’s Endowment Fund administered through the WisconsinConference Foundation.

Roberts, Chairperson, Wisconsin Annual ConferenceBoard of Church and SocietyAuthor’s Rationale: This judgmental, condemnatory language is in conflict with thepresent state of scientific knowledge and societal acceptance. Such language puts UnitedMethodism at odds with the positions of other denominations most closely related to itand with the emerging ecumenical consensus. Most important, this language is manifestlyunchristian.Submitted By:Jeffrey Virchow, Legislation Coordinator, Wisconsin UnitedMethodist Federation <strong>for</strong> Social ActionAuthor’s Rationale: Language that denies what God has made holy—a covenant ofmarriage between two loving individuals—is manifestly unchristian discrimination,creates barriers in love and ministry, promotes unholiness, and undercuts evangelism anddisciple-making to all God’s children and our ef<strong>for</strong>ts to recruit and maintain qualifiedclergy.The Petition:Be it resolved that 161F be amended as follows:F) Human Sexuality – We affirm that sexuality is God’s good gift to all persons.

The Church should supportthe family in providing age-appropriate education regarding sexuality to children,youth and adults. We affirm that all persons are individuals of sacred worth, createdin the image of God. All persons need the ministry of the Church in their struggles<strong>for</strong> human fulfillment, as well as the spiritual and emotional care of a fellowship thatenables reconciling relationships with God, with others, and with self.

Whatever the sexual tendencies, persons shouldesteem God's design and live faithfully within His divine limits. This means that allprofessing Christians need to refrain from scripturally defined deviant sexual behaviors.The Petition:Be it resolved that 161F be amended as follows:We affirm that all persons are individuals of sacred worth, created in the image ofGod. All persons need the ministry of the Church in their struggles <strong>for</strong> humanfulfillment, as well as the spiritual and emotional care of a fellowship that enablesreconciling relationships with God, with others, and with self.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Petition Group C: Amicable Separation [1]Petition #08NEW RESOLUTION FOR AMICABLE SEPARATIONSubmitted By:The Reverend Wendell Williams, Elder in Full Connection,Wisconsin Annual ConferenceAuthor’s Rationale: Whereas, the United Methodist Church is experiencing theologicaldivision, with deep disagreements over authority of Scripture, who is Jesus Christ, thebodily resurrection, the nature of salvation and the possibility of continuing revelation(among many foundational doctrines); and whereas, this theological divide is reflected inour conversations over homosexuality and over the full inclusiveness of GLBT persons inthe life of the church, including ordination, <strong>for</strong> some 40 years; and whereas, many clergyand laity either disagree openly or covertly with the Doctrinal Standards and practices ofthe United Methodist Church as set <strong>for</strong>th in the Book of Discipline,2008 ; and whereas,lack of accountability to, and con<strong>for</strong>mity with, the requirements of The Book ofDiscipline seem to be leading to further division, rather than unity in the GeneralConference while taking up much valuable time and energy; and whereas, The GeneralConference has seen members on both sides of the theological division leave the UnitedMethodist Church and thus being one of the possible factors of our denominationaldecline; and whereas, in the words of Gamaliel, ―I advise you: Leave these men alone!Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it isfrom God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fightingagainst God.‖ (Acts 5:38-39 NIV); and whereas, we are to be about ―Making Disciples ofJesus Christ <strong>for</strong> the Trans<strong>for</strong>mation of the World‖ and not ―protecting our assets‖ asmight be implied in the trust clause; there<strong>for</strong>eThe Petition:Be it resolved that:The United Methodist Church allow individuals and congregations who cannot abideby the current Book of Discipline to separate from the denomination with thechurch’s blessing and best wishes; andBe it further resolved that:The 2012 General Conference of the United Methodist Church appoint atheologically diverse and balanced task <strong>for</strong>ce to develop a process that would allowcongregations to amicably separate from their Annual Conference while keepingtheir church buildings and property so that they may be about ―Making Disciples ofJesus Christ <strong>for</strong> the Trans<strong>for</strong>mation of the World,‖ as they see themselves led by theHoly Spirit.Wisconsin Conference Voting Results: Yes: 238 No: 383 Abstain: 13Petitions to the 2012 General Conference 271

While persons set apart by the Church <strong>for</strong> ordained ministry are subject to all thefrailties of the human condition and the pressures of society, they are required tomaintain the highest standards of holy living in the world.

Royappa, Clergy Elder, Wisconsin Annual ConferenceAuthor’s Rationale: There is no reason why lay leader is exempt from the three-yearterm. Lay member of the annual conference is exempt because of the annual conferencesessions in alignment with quadrennial plan of the General conference.

Royappa, Clergy Elder, Wisconsin Annual ConferenceAuthor’s Rationale: The present paragraphs <strong>for</strong> committee on finance are all aboutlogistics and how to administer the funds.

A different outlook on the word maybe appealing to local churches if and when they see the value of connection and beingconnected with beyond their levels.

Royappa, Clergy Elder, Wisconsin Annual ConferenceAuthor’s Rationale: As the demographics of the United States are rapidly shifting fromsolo color to many colors and from mono-culture to many cultures, it’s time to keep thepace of globalization. Further, we are blessed with numerous opportunities to engage inGod’s mission with all people around us.

She graduated from Northwestern <strong>High</strong> School in Detroit.On April 20, 1938 she met Jesse DeWitt. It was the beginning of a romancethat would last <strong>for</strong> more than 72 years. Annamary and Jesse were married onApril 19, 1941. Their first years together saw them move five times be<strong>for</strong>eFebruary, 1944. Their first daughter, Donna, was born in July of 1942, andAnnamary cared <strong>for</strong> her while Jesse worked and attended classes at Wayne State. They wereactive members of Boulevard Temple Methodist Church, where they organized a young marriedpeople’s Sunday School class called WINSOME. It was in this class that Jesse made the decisionto enter the ministry of the church, a decision that would change the entire course of their lives.In February, 1944 Annamary and Jesse left Detroit <strong>for</strong> Winnebago and Seward, Illinois, whereJesse was appointed as the student pastor. According to Jesse, “Annamary became the pastor incharge while I attended Seminary in Evanston Monday through Friday.” She was a frontierwoman, since the parsonage did not have running water or indoor plumbing. Annamary establishedfriendships there that lasted until her death. Wherever she and Jesse served, she foundfriendships that blessed her life, and from the testimonies of others, they received a blessing too.While serving Aldersgate Church in Red<strong>for</strong>d, Annamary and Jesse were blessed with their seconddaughter, Darla.Annamary was a devoted and loving wife, and was most supportive of her husband as they acceptedthe callings of the Church. Her daughters, Donna and Darla, shared the following reflectionsabout their mother:We were both born in the 40s, which meant that Mother had quit her job when she marriedand stayed home (with no second car!) to care <strong>for</strong> the house and her children. Shewas a traditional Mother, waiting with cookies and milk at the end of the school day andlots of questions regarding our friends and activities. She also fulfilled all of the dutiesof the minister’s wife, which included scheduling a predictable pattern <strong>for</strong> our home lifein spite of Daddy’s unpredictable responsibilities.As we grew up, she was able to do more community service, volunteering in many capacities.During the 60s, she became a real activist – particularly as it related to issuesof racial equality, nuclear weapons, peace and women’s rights. She acted upon herstrong belief that we each have the power and responsibility to make a difference.As the world changed, so did our lives. By the end of the 60s we were each married.For the first time she was in another state from her children and she had some time tocall her own. Through her example, we learned the value of pursuing a dream. She hadalways wanted the opportunity to go to college, so she did it when we were grown. Shehad to change universities when they moved again, but she completed her Bachelor’sDegree at Northern Illinois University in 1983. She then went on to earn a Master ofDivinity Degree at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in 1987. Her thesis wasMemoirs299

She continued to be a support <strong>for</strong>us as we became mothers, and she was a wonderful Grandma! No matter where wewere living our parents were always present at holidays and special events. When thekids were little, she would buy Golden Books and tape herself reading them. Then shewould mail the tape to us and we would plunk the kids on the couch with the tape player.They loved having Grandma read to them.This same caring and loyalty was also true as it related to her non-family relationships.Wherever they lived, Mother <strong>for</strong>med friendships which then continued <strong>for</strong> the rest ofher life. They had many marvelous opportunities to travel because of Daddy’s job, andshe developed a network of friends all over the world. She loved music, dancing, roller-skating, aerobics and weight-lifting, and she continued to stay as active as possibleuntil the day be<strong>for</strong>e her death.She knew her death was imminent, and she very deliberately defined the terms of herdeparture. Her last lesson to us was how to die as you live – loving and caring <strong>for</strong> thosearound you and recognizing the importance of each day’s blessings. With grace anddignity she dealt with increasing pain and disability.

Lucius Walker, Jr.The Rev. Lucius Walker Jr., a Baptist minister who served as the first Executive Director ofNorthcott Neighborhood House in Milwaukee, died on September 7, 2010 at his home in Demarest,New Jersey of a heart attack. He was 80.Lucius Walker, Jr. was born August 3, 1930, in Roselle, New Jersey to a mason and a homemakerwho had 10 children. As a teenager, he won recognition as an accomplished preacher at Pentecostalrevival meetings. He graduated from Shaw University, a historically black institution in Raleigh,North Carolina in 1954. After graduating from Shaw University, where he majored in English,he decided to pursue his “love affair with the teachings of Jesus” and earned a divinity degreefrom Andover Newton Theological School in Massachusetts. He earned a master’s degree insocial work from the University of Wisconsin and was ordained in 1958.Rev. Walker was known <strong>for</strong> his commitment to social justice issues. Mr. Walker’s life was trans<strong>for</strong>medon August 2, 1988, as he led a delegation on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where rebelswere battling the American-backed government. Their riverboat was attacked by contra rebels,and Mr. Walker was one of 29 wounded. Two were killed. Mr. Walker’s first thought, he said,was that he was hit by a bullet paid <strong>for</strong> by his own country. He called his second thought a propheticvision: he would <strong>for</strong>m an organization of pastors to fight, or at least clean up after, what hecalled American imperialism.That organization, Pastors <strong>for</strong> Peace, has now sent hundreds of tons of aid, including medical gearand roofing material, to Latin American countries. Of its 40 missions so far, 21 have been to Cuba,which under a 1963 law is off-limits to American trade. Pastors <strong>for</strong> Peace violates the embargoby refusing to apply to the U.S. government <strong>for</strong> permission to export humanitarian goods toCuba, instead traveling through intermediary countries to deliver supplies donated by people inthe United States.Mr. Walker helped <strong>for</strong>m a national committee in 2000 to work to return the 6-year-old Elián Gonzálezto his father in Cuba in the face of strong opposition from the child’s Miami-based relativesas well as Cuban-American and conservative groups. (The child was returned to Cuba.) He alsoarranged meetings <strong>for</strong> Fidel Castro when Mr. Castro visited New York, as well as trips to Cuba<strong>for</strong> politicians and religious leaders.Rev. Walker led the last of his 21 relief trips to Cuba in July, 2010. During that trip, as he haddone on many occasions, he met with Mr. Castro. In announcing his death, Granma, the CommunistParty newspaper in Cuba, said Cubans “don’t want to even think of a world without LuciusWalker.”Rev. Walker had perhaps even more influence in the 1960s. It was during that time that Rev.Walker was the Executive Director of Northcott Neighborhood House, an organization created byThe United Methodist Women of the Wisconsin Annual Conference and the General Board of312Memoirs

The organization continues to provide services to over 10,000 youth, familiesand senior citizens in the Milwaukee area.He left Northcott <strong>for</strong> New York City to found the Interreligious Foundation <strong>for</strong> Community Organization.Its purpose was to link mainstream Protestant, Catholic and Jewish denominations andcongregations to community organizers in troubled areas.“It’s a travesty how much churches have said about social justice and how little they have done,”Mr. Walker told The Times in 1969. He pushed the organization to support <strong>for</strong>cing religiousgroups to pay at least $500 million to blacks as reparations <strong>for</strong> their ancestors’ enslavement — aposition that caused the American Jewish Committee to leave the foundation.In 1973, Mr. Walker became associate general secretary of the National Council of Churches butwas later fired <strong>for</strong> giving too much money to community organizers, the council said. In 1978 Mr.Walker returned to the Interreligious Foundation. Six years later he founded the Salvation BaptistChurch in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn.Mr. Walker’s activities included <strong>for</strong>ming an umbrella group of civil rights organizations to fightthe Ku Klux Klan and another to help prisoners who had been accused of political crimes to obtainbail bonds.Mr. Walker’s wife, the <strong>for</strong>mer Mary Johnson, died in 2008.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>The Thelma W. Gregg AwardThe Thelma W. Gregg Award is named <strong>for</strong> a lay woman from Wauwatosa Avenue UMC whodemonstrated Christian commitment in tireless promotion of the missionary outreach of theChurch. The award includes a financial gift to be designated to an Advance project by therecipient.Holly Morse has been a member of the United Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay <strong>for</strong> over30 years. She and her husband Dan raised their three children, Jenny, Ty, and Katie in thechurch. Holly has always been involved in the life of the congregation and deeply committedto missions. She has taught Sunday School, confirmation and high school Sunday School.She was a volunteer on over 10 mission trips to ASP - the Appalachia Service Project withthe church’s youth. “Participating in these ministries was life changing,” says Morse. Holly’sfaith and relationship with Christ is at the center of her life. She was a member of a women’sBible Study group that meet at 6 am every week <strong>for</strong> years. Her energetic and contagiousspirit is drawn to a life of compassion and ministries of mercy.A number of years ago Holly approached her pastor saying she was feeling led to newministry opportunities. Knowing of Holly’s love of people, commitment to mission and spiritualleadership abilities she was asked to prayerfully consider starting a new on-going ministrycalled FaithWorks. The concept was simple. Build a ministry where once a month peopleof all ages and all abilities can come together <strong>for</strong> fellowship, devotion and sent out into thecommunity to serve. No on-going commitment, no particular expertise - just a willingnessto be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. FaithWorks would be based on the passagefound in James, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but donot have works Can faith save you Faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. James 2.14,17 Holly said YES and has been the coordinator of the FaithWorks ministry <strong>for</strong> severalyears. Every second Saturday children, youth and adults come together <strong>for</strong> an incrediblebreakfast and share in fellowship, partake in devotions and prayer and then go out into theworld to serve. Some of the places of service include United Methodist Children’s Services,Northcott Neighborhood House, Guest House, Repairers of the Breach, Joy House, RescueMission, Salvation Army, Agape Community Center, Hunger Task Force and visiting thehomebound.When told she was to be the recipient of the Thelma W. Gregg Memorial Fund Award <strong>for</strong> hercommitment to mission through FaithWorks Holly said, “Being recognized <strong>for</strong> FaithWorksis one of the greatest awards I could ever receive. The ministry, the relationships withcommunity ministries and relationships with people in the church has been one of the mostsignificant and meaningful things I have ever done.” In fact, if you will look at Holly’s resumefilled with accomplishments, FaithWorks is listed. Holly has chosen Northcott NeighborhoodHouse to be the recipient of the cash gift that comes from this award. Holly will not be ableto be at Annual Conference to receive the award as she is fulfilling an academic honor -being chosen to read AP exams. However, her FaithWorks family celebrated with her be<strong>for</strong>eshe left Milwaukee and the congregation will celebrate her award on September 18. MacWeddle and staff from Northcott will be present in worship that day when Rev. DeborahThompson from the Conference Office presents the award to Holly during worship.During the day, Holly is an exceptional Spanish teacher at University School in Milwaukee.Over the years she has been the recipient of numerous awards. One of her greatest passionsis her work with indigenous children in Panama. In the past years she has <strong>for</strong>med twofoundations to support Panamanian malnourished children.

<strong>2011</strong> Wisconsin Conference <strong>Journal</strong>Love in Action AwardThe Love in Action Award is presented by the Disaster Response Committee to recognizeoutstanding commitment and passion to God’s mission through disaster response and relief.Still Waters Community UMC is the <strong>2011</strong> recipient of the Love in Action Award.Still Waters Community UMC is a relatively young church and a large part of their identityas a faith community is their evolving mission outreach program sponsored by our SocialAction and Missions (SAM) Team. Wisconsin Conference sponsored- Volunteers in Missionwork camps have provided consistent opportunities <strong>for</strong> mission work, community fellowship,and personal and spiritual growth. This mission- energized congregation has encouragedthe SAM team to seek more regular local mission possibilities. Local church leaders,trained by the Wisconsin Annual Conference, provide the avenue to assemble a localchurch team quickly <strong>for</strong> disaster relief. SAM participates in Habitat <strong>for</strong> Humanity buildingprojects, provides food <strong>for</strong> regional food pantries, meal services <strong>for</strong> shelters, InterfaithCaregivers <strong>for</strong> seniors, provides food and works <strong>for</strong> the United Methodist Children’sServices, assists the poor in metropolitan inner cities and assists our own congregation’smembers. The secret, they believe, is a very natural blend of conference-trained leadership,a membership core that has caught the "mission bug" and a willingness to embracecreativity to encourage membership generated ideas as they design their mission scope.Still Waters Community UMC is touching lives with 10% of our congregation engaged inMission…that is 50+ people connecting and responding to the needs of our Brothers andSisters in Christ.Still Waters Community UMC has been involved with missions in:Wisconsin: Disaster Relief in Gays Mills; United Methodist Children’s Services, Habitat<strong>for</strong> Humanity (Brush with Kindness) in Milwaukee and Washington County; InterfaithCaregivers, Washington County.Across the United States: Biloxi, Mississippi; Atlanta Georgia; Bayou Le Batre, Alabama;Camp Lurcack, MontanaInternational: Rio Bravo, MexicoBridge Builder AwardKaren Stimling – <strong>for</strong> outstanding ef<strong>for</strong>ts to build bridges between the ministries of theWisconsin Annual Conference and social and community needs.
