May 30, 2024 Syracuse, NY Conference Lay Leader, Jessica White opened the session by acknowledging the land on which annual conference is held as traditional lands of the Onondaga Nation. The Rev. Roselynn Kingsbury led a Native American land ceremony. United Methodists of Upper New York claimed God’s future through hope and joy during opening worship with praise, singing, communion, and a message from Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez focused on Philippians 3:13-14. Representatives of the conference’s 12 districts brought forward 12 stones that became the worship center, as Joshua and the 12 tribes of Israel used 12 stones to build an altar to symbolize their trust in God.

Bishop Malone has agreed to be by Bishop Burgos Núñez’s side. Bishop Burgos Núñez introduced others at the table, Jessica White, Conference Lay Leader, and Rev. Carolyn Stow, Conference Secretary. Bishop explained that from time to time, Peter Abdella, Conference Chancellor, will join the table when his expertise is needed. Bishop Burgos Núñez explained, his primary role as presider is to guide discussion and address questions and he will rely as much as possible on conference staff and other leaders, all with the intention of supporting the body in completing the work to be accomplished. When the chair rules things out of order, it is not personal. Bishop shared information about speaking from the floor and how he strives to be inclusive and hear different voices. To get recognized, raise the pink card and wait to be recognized before coming to a microphone. Speakers will have three (3) minutes to speak once recognized by the chair. When there are about fifteen (15) seconds left, he will notify the speaker. When three (3) minutes expire, he will inform the speaker, and the microphone will be shut off. Members were reminded to address the bishop as the chair of the proceedings and when speaking “for” or “against” a motion, talk should be focused on merits and reasons. There will be a limit of up to three (3) speeches “for” and three (3) “against”. Once that threshold is met, the bishop will automatically move the body to vote. The body was advised to review page 14 of the Pre-Conference Workbook for a brief guide to parliamentary procedures. The bishop set the voting area (conference bar) as the numbered tables and the stage. Members must be seated at a table inside the bar when the vote is called, to vote. Visitors are invited to seats at visitor tables. Ms Jessica White, Lay-leader spoke about and read from the Guidelines for Christian Conferencing found on page 6 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and called for the body to lift an “Amen” to be in covenant together around these guidelines. She pointed out that anything with potential budget implications needs to be referred to the Council on Finance and Administration for review and opinion before the body can consider it. She also suggested that if anyone intends to raise a matter of law, it would be helpful to share with the sessions chair in advance to make sure it is done correctly. Rev. Sue Russell and Rev. Dr. Scott Johnson explained that the goal of monitoring demographics is to be successful and inclusive so that all the groups present are given a voice. They explained what the process is and is not. The body was asked to be reasonable and cooperative and simply share name, gender, race, clergy or laity, district, and local church. Rev. Carolyn Stow presented the slate of Equalization Members found on the conference website as an addendum to the Pre-Conference Workbook. With no comments from the floor, the vote was moved and carried. 174
Rev. Carolyn Stow presented the Organizational Motion that can be found beginning on pages 7 and 8 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, by highlighting changes from earlier years. The first change is to paragraph 5 on page 7, “…of The United Methodist Church from the postponed 2020 General Conference held in 2024” should be added in. Stow reviewed voting rights and the chart of lanyard colors found on page 15 of the Pre-Conference. She also explained that “The Bar” is those tables with numbers, the stage, and the waiting area for people to speak and that members must be in The Bar at the time the vote is called to have their vote counted. Stow explained that individuals wishing to get recognized to speak should, from their seats, wave the pink paper they received at check-in. Only after the bishop recognizes the speaker, the person should advance to the microphone the bishop said. He is very intentionally seeking a variety of voices, so please wait to be called on. Stow explained the need to submit amendments in writing on triplicate forms that are available through the tellers. Rev. Stow moved adoption of the Organizational Motion and with no comments, the bishop called the vote that carried. Rev. Carolyn Stow called the body’s attention to the Consent Calendar on page 16 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and began by pointing out a clerical error to be corrected; the Recommendation from Commission on Equitable Compensation was included in error and should be removed from the Consent Calendar. Mr. Tim Barnes moved to remove the report from the Conference Leadership Team from the consent calendar. The bishop explained that this would need a 1/3 vote to pass and that, if it did get added back to the agenda, the report would only be read into the record, if there is enough time and there would be no action or discussion around the report. The vote did not carry. Rev. Joel Holcomb called for a point of order and asked for a hand count, which was held. The motion to remove the Conference Leadership Team report from the Consent Calendar did not carry. Rev. Joe Auslander asked for clarification on the removal of the Recommendation from the Commission on Equitable Compensation from the Consent Calendar. The bishop explained that it was a clerical error to include it on the Consent Calendar as it was never intended to be there, and that clerical error is being corrected so the body will hear and consider the action items contained in that report. With no additional motions or comments, the body voted, and the Consent Calendar, as edited, was adopted. Rev. Bill Gottschalk-Fielding called the body’s attention to page 17 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, to find the agenda and made a motion to adopt it. With no discussion, the body voted, and the agenda was adopted. A video was shared about an innovative hybrid bilingual Bible study, born from the challenges of isolation, that has become a beacon of inclusivity, connectivity, and hope. Watch the video here. Mr. Ian Urriola presented the Nominations report, as found on the conference website among those documents that were updated on May 28, 2024. He explained that this report is a living document with vacancies throughout, with nearly every team that the Nominations team has responsibility to populate having at least one vacancy. The work of the team is ongoing. Mr. Urriola shared updates that have come in since the report was published. Mr. Urriola requested Bishop Burgos Núñez receive the nominations for Trustees as identified on the paper ballots, which were distributed. Rev. Lisa Taylor raised a process question about deciding without knowing the qualifications of the candidates, “How can you vote for people you don’t know?” Mr. Urriola explained that everyone on the ballot has great interest in serving as one of the trustees and was completely vetted by the nominating committee as well as the cabinet. He further explained, when asked, that receiving nominations from the floor for trustees is difficult because of the paper ballot required by New York State. Those with additional nominations to serve as a Trustee were invited 175
to fill out the Google form found on the conference website; the Nominations team attends to such as they are submitted. Written votes were cast and ballots collected. The results were shared at a later plenary. Mr. Urriola moved adoption of the balance of the nominations report including each district team, (excluding candidates for Trustees) and requested that additional nominations, including self-nominations, be made by scanning the QR code on the tables. Rev. Benjamin Lalka asked about a particular name he expected to see on the Board of Ordained Ministry. Aaron Bouwens, the Director of Missional Excellence and the Bishop explained that persons’ role had been president of the Fellowship of Associate Members and that according to the Book of Discipline, that position, like several, is elected; if elected by the board to fill that role, that person will start her work with the start of the new quadrennial. With no additional conversation, the body voted and approved the report moved. The full report with editorial updates can be found in this journal on pages 7-27. Any corrections needed should be sent to unynominations@unyumc.org. Mr. Urriola named and thanked the other members of the nominations team. Rev. Bob Long presented recommendations for Advanced Specials for 2025 as found on page 27 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and authorized by paragraph 255 of the Book of Discipline. With no conversation, the vote was called, and the recommendations were adopted. At the invitation of Bishop Burgos Núñez, Mr. Victor Giso, a young person from First United Methodist Church East Greenbush, spoke about the importance of including youth in the current life and current decisions of the church. Youth have been viewed as the future of church, exclusively. However, youth are not passive recipients of faith waiting to inherit responsibilities. Rather, youth should be recognized as full, active participants in current activity and development - as catalysts for movement in the church. Click here to watch Mr. Giso’s full presentation. Rev. Peter Cook, Executive Director of the NYS Council of Churches, shared greetings on behalf of the council which has been in existence since 1893. They are strong proponents of the Ecumenical Movement and work to live into Jesus’ call that we should all be one and avoid duplicating service ministries. Rev. Cook recognized Heather Smith for her role and encouraged the body to visit their website at www.nyscoc.org. Rev. Pamela Klotzbach, president of the conference board, shared the Trustees report that can be found on page 99 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. She began with updates on churches that have yet to complete the legal processes for disaffiliation for various reasons, such as some are paperwork needing signatures, corrections needed in deeds, and tax and pastor compensation issues. The Rev. Dr. Sherri Rood, on behalf of the Cabinet, presented resolutions for church closures, which begin on page 33 of the Pre-Conference Workbook and named each: Kanona UMC Magnolia UMC Morrisonville UMC Nicholville UMC Portlandville UMC Ransomville UMC South Canisteo UMC Spragueville UMC Tonawanda Bethany UMC Verona UMC Italy Valley UMC Aloquin Flint UMC Following a word of prayer, the motion to affirm carried. The bishop offered expressions of gratitude for their ministries. Those churches that were close to completing the disaffiliation process were named and the bishop expressed appreciation for the Trust176
ees team and the conference chancellor for their hard work during a protracted difficult season. Following announcements shared by the secretary and a blessing offered by Rev. Jefferson Niles, the bishop moved the body into a time of recess for dinner at 4:55PM with plans to reconvene at 7PM. Thursday, May 30 Evening Gathering Bishop Burgos Núñez called the body to order at 7:02PM and shared the expectations for the remainder of the day before offering an opening prayer. Ms Carmen Vianese and Rev. Bill Mudge presented the Upper New York General Conference and Jurisdictional Conference Delegation report. They named and celebrated the team of delegates and shared an overview of decisions made during the April 23 to May 3 gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina. They pointed to collaboration and intentional partnerships as vital to the success of processing more than 650 of more than1000 petitions and the sense of community felt. There was a discernible sense of loss of those siblings who have left or may leave the denomination soon. Within the UNY general conference delegation, smaller but no less vital bonds were formed, and existing friendships were strengthened. The delegation was preparing for the Northeastern Jurisdictional conference in Pittsburgh in July; prayers and support continued to be appreciated. Detailed information about the General Conference is available here. Bishop Burgos Núñez recognized Ms Carmen Vianese as the chair of the delegation who is responsible for Episcopal Nominations. She briefed the body on the process for 2024 that included requesting nominations, receiving three names, and interviewing the one person who said they would accept a nomination. After prayerful deliberation and the small likelihood of an episcopal election in the Northeast Jurisdiction, the UNY delegation strongly recommended that AC session not endorse any episcopal candidates in 2024. The bishop thanked the delegation and the Conference for engagement in this process. Ms Viennese, with no nominations from the floor, moved to close nominations. With no discussion, the motion carried, and nominations were closed. On behalf of the Conference Leadership Team and Child Victims Act (CVA) Cost Task Force, Rev. Dr. Scott Johnson and the Rev. Dr. Stephen Cady, chair, presented a recommendation, found on pages 28-32 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, that all past and future costs from judgments, settlements, and legal fees incurred to resolve CVA complaints be allocated first from the unrestricted reserved funds of the Upper New York Board of Pensions and Health Benefits and that the amount of funding from this source be limited to the unrestricted reserves in excess of pension liability. Cady explained that the work of the task force began by considering centering values of deep care, responsibility, intentionality, and as much transparency as possible. Johnson explained that restorative justice seeks first to do what can be done to repair harm, while holding the person who caused it accountable for their actions. Such accountability is not focused on the offender, but rather on healing for those who have been harmed, thereby empowering victims. Payment of settlements is part of restorative justice. Cady shared that there are three (3) of fourteen (14) original cases still to be resolved, so there is no way, yet, to know or predict exactly how much the final restitution will be. These reserves will not cover what is already committed. Cady shared that the goal of this conversation was to decide how to allocate funding for the work of doing restorative justice. He further explained that after much conversation in consultation with the Board of Pension and Health Benefits, and examining every feasible funding source, including sale of properties and increased conference giving, the CVA Cost Task Force has a solution that, while not without some pain, safeguards pension liabilities and takes us a step towards restorative justice by only allowing spending of unrestricted reserves in excess of pension liability as of December 31, 2023. Should expenses exceed the amount available additional funding will be allocated from unreserved Trustees monies and operating reserves managed by the Council on Finance and Administration. The CVA Cost Task Force further recommended that the Conference Leadership Team, in consultation with General Board of Church and Society and UNY Social Holiness Team, create a comprehensive set of resources available to educate clergy and congregations on restorative justice. The CVA Cost Task Force also recommended that all churches must review Safe Sanctuaries Policies and practices to ensure that physical, emotional, and spiritual 177
security is being safeguarded, and trust is being fostered in the community. After formally bringing the CVA Costs Task Force’s recommendations before the body, Cady, asked that an update of the current financial situation be shared with the body before discussion. Conference Treasurer, Bob Flask, reported, to date, the conference has committed $8.2 million to CVA costs. There is $7.8 million that is from unrestricted funds from conferences that became Upper New York and has been temporarily housed with Board of Pension funds. Mr. Sam Smith moved an amendment, to add to line 4 on page 29, “Be it further resolved that the funds taken from the conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits reserves be restored via an adjustment to sale of closed church properties formula (50% going to this repayment) until it has been repaid.” It was seconded and Mr. Smith spoke in favor of it, saying it would be fiscally responsible to repay these monies that came from gifts from local churches that understood the money to be used in support of retired pastors. Rev. Vivian Ruth Walz spoke against the amendment as the writer of a resolution that will be later in the agenda that asks for reparations be made to black churches in the conference using the money from closed churches. Such a use would be a much more effective, more inspiring use toward church growth than to be “paying off the results of sex offenders.” Rev. Dee Loman raised a question, asking how monies from closed churches whose buildings have been sold are currently being used. Rev. Pam Klotzbach, on behalf of the Trustees, clarified that the buildings from closed churches are not usually sold for much money because by the time they are sold they are in bad shape, and she explained that 80% of the proceeds is allocated to new church starts budgets. Rev. Stephen Cady shared a point of information in clarification to remarks made by the maker of the amendment. The reserves that would be used come from historical annual conferences unallocated monies that were pooled into an ill-named fund “Pension Reserve.” These monies did not come from individual churches for pensions. Rev. Sherri Rood spoke against the amendment. These funds can be restored through interest income, and shifting monies in such a way would have a detrimental impact on new churches and Camp and Retreat Ministries. Rev. Rachel Stewart spoke in favor of the amendment because, if the churches had not closed, they would be paying some funds into Pension and Health Benefits, so in repayment would be a way of putting those funds where they were intended. She further expressed the possibility of amending the amendment to include reparations to black churches, thereby allowing the conference to be accountable to all parties mentioned; CVA concerns, black churches, and retired clergy. Conference Chancellor, Peter Abdella, asked to raise a point of information to clarify that funds being considered are not restricted pension funds that are held by Wespath. These are unrestricted investment funds from when the four conferences came together in 2010 that are administered by the Board of Pensions and that is how our financial statements have treated them since that time. There is no legal restriction on these funds. Rev. David Nicol spoke against the amendment, recognizing that the team who put the resolution together has explained very clearly what is extremely complicated. These are funds that ancestor annual conferences set aside in case they are needed in a particular way. To use them as proposed would not endanger any retirement monies of retirees but would be covering a real and present obligation. Further, cutting into the sale of closed churches prevents us from moving forward into a healthy future. The bishop recognized that the body had reached the threshold of three speeches in favor of and three speeches against the amendment and explained that no other such speeches are allowed under the rules. He asked the body to lift any questions or points of clarification. Rev. Cathy Hall Stengel raised a question seeking to clarify her understanding that some of these funds being considered are from the General Board of Pensions to help to pay benefits care provided for clergy spouses. The bishop asked that Ms Karyn McClosky answer on behalf of the board. McClosky explained that is indeed one of the expenses those reserves are currently covering. Those reserve funds are also currently used to pay insurance policies that allow churches to pay for clergy on family leave, and for retiree health care. While we have accounted for costs for current liabilities as of 12/31/23, that does not allow any room to increase support of retiree HRAs, which are used for rising healthcare costs. McClosky further shared frustration on the part of the board at having requests for clarification about the exact sources of those funds left unanswered. The bishop invited Bob Flask, conference treasurer to further clarify these very complex issues because there appeared to have been some things yet to understand. Flask explained the process used to determine the $7.8 million amount is surplus, or “in excess of pension liability”. The CVA Cost task force conducted conversations with the chair of the Board of Pension and Health Benefits with the goal of understanding how much the board needs to do its work. Flask shared the numbers and calculations that considered all potential liabilities, including what Wespath 178
determined would be needed if they are no longer willing or able to payout pensions Flask also explained the rolling surplus that will allow the fund to replenish itself simply through investments. The CVA Cost task force calculations determined the path with the least amount of financial detriment. The bishop reminded the body that the Conference Treasurer had just offered words of clarification, rather than a speech in support or not of the amendment and then recognized Rev. Brett Johnson with a question for the Trustees about the number of closed churches sold each year and how many of those are just for closing costs. Rev. Pam Klotzbach offered examples of reasons such sales lose money and Bob Flask explained that the amount ebbs and flows from year-to-year with a rough range of a few hundred thousand dollars to one million. Mr. Andrew Hunt asked about investment projections for rebuilding the unrestricted assets being discussed, taking into account setting aside the monies as proposed in the recommendation. Mr. Flask was clear that his projections are very rough and based on current realities. Because of excessive amounts in reserves (approximately $43 million), the Board of Pension and Health Benefits investments earned approximately $5.5 million this past year. So, based on the current market, Flask predicted that the fund would grow to fully restore the expenditures being discussed within three (3) years. Flask further explained that monies from Trustees and Operating reserves will likely be needed to be able to pay anticipated CVA costs in full and are not expected to ever be fully recovered. Rev. Cindy Wenzinger called the question. The bishop explained that we are ready to move directly to the vote because he had been flexible with the rules to allow for clarity of the issue being decided. All discussion should have stopped immediately after the threshold of three speeches for and three speeches against had been reached. Bishop read the amendment being voted on as it was displayed on the screens and held the vote that did not pass the amendment. Mr. Al Millard raised a point of information about the need to vote on Rev. Wenzinger’s call of the question. The bishop reminded the body about having met the threshold of three for and three against speeches and the new rules that apply negating the need to entertain a call of the question. Without further discussion, the bishop called the vote on the original recommendation of the CVA Cost task force, that was approved. The bishop expressed gratitude for the work of all those who have been involved with finding a fair and just resolution to the CVA cases. Mr. Ian Urriola requested and was given the opportunity to lift a prayer of confession. Ms Karyn McCloskey presented the recommendations of Board of Pension and Health Benefits after explaining the nature of the work of the board and introducing COMPASS, the new retirement program that the United Methodist General Conference decided will go into place in January 2026. McClosky moved three recommendations: one to allow clergy to claim pension, severance, or disability income as a housing exclusion, found on page 24 of the Pre-Conference Workbook; a second to increase the Pre-82 Past Service Annuity Rate by 3 percent for 2025, increasing it from $691 to $712, found on page 25 of the Pre-Conference Workbook; and the third to adopt the 2025 Comprehensive Funding Plan, also found on page 25 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. Rev. Jenni Piatt raised a possible amendment that the bishop ruled out of order to the current discussion and would be welcomed during the discussion scheduled to take place later in the agenda. Rev. Robyn Hayes asked for clarity on a point of order regarding any requirements to consider any of the recommendations separately. The bishop answered that there is no such requirement. The bishop ruled Mr. Frank D’Ambrosia’s question about the COMPASS plan as out of order. The bishop called the vote on all three recommendations from the Board of Pension and Health Benefits, that were adopted. The bishop thanked the board for their work. After summarizing the work yet to be accomplished in the remaining time, the bishop granted three minutes to Rev. John Fulton regarding retirees HRAs. He appreciated work of the Board of Pension and Health Benefits and called attention to the lack of increase in HRA benefits, that have been and remain static in this “highly inflationary time.” The bishop indicated the board will consider this concern. Conference Council on Finance and Administration Chair, Ms Holly Roush, presented and moved the 179
proposed 2025 Ministry Budget found on pages 20-23 in the Pre-Conference Workbook that reflects an approximate $600,000 decrease from 2024. Rev. Missy McCarthy raised a point of information asking about the significant decrease and footnote about working to decrease funding to Camps and Retreats Ministries. Treasurer, Bob Flask explained that the council has been working with Camps and Retreats Ministries to increase their billable income to decrease their Ministry Share support. Mr. Andrew Hunt called for a point of information asking for clarification on “increase billables” wondering if it translates to campers paying more. Treasurer Bob Flask explained that there has been an increased number of campers and new foundations are raising more funds to help offset camp fee increases. The bishop recognized Rev. Missy McCarthy who was not sure on how to make her amendment. Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez patiently engaged McCarthy in a conversation that helped her boil her thoughts down to amending the proposed budget to bring the Camping and Retreats line back to the 2022 amount. The bishop then turned to the conference rules, which state amendments with financial implications need to be referred to the Council on Finance and Administration for consideration. He declared that it would not have been in order to vote before the referral could be considered and paused discussion until the following day. After the secretary shared announcements, the bishop offered closing remarks and lifted prayer for a restful night. Friday, May 31 Morning Gathering The second day of Annual Conference opened at 8:30 am with gathering music, prayer, scripture, and encouragement from Rev. Nancy Dibelius to participate in the prayer tent activity of writing a gift for ministry on a paper hand and adding it to the others. At 9:00am, the bishop invited the body to their seats and called attention to the video of Niagara Falls that had been playing. Bishop shared that he had captured it and pointed to the power generated by the strength of the running water and connected it to the power of the Holy Spirit found in the transparency of baptismal waters and loving others. Ms Carmen Vianese and Rev. Bill Mudge, chairs of the Episcopacy Committee, thanked Bishop Héctor and his family for their leadership and support and gifted them with a devotional book and his first episcopal crozier. The bishop expressed his gratitude for the gifts shared, the Committee on Episcopacy, and others who have supported him and his family. In his Episcopal Address, Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez reflected on shared ministry over past year, highlighting some of the progress, challenges, opportunities, and next steps that he envisions walking together in this new season of ministry. He called United Methodists of Upper New York to prioritize relationships, praised members and leaders for adapting to new ways of being in mission and ministry, and reminded the body of the importance of shared giving for shared mission. Bishop named the importance of investing in young people and offered the stage to Destiny Hoerbelt, a member of North Tonawanda First United Methodist Church, who offered inspirational words about letting God lead our lives. The bishop closed by encouraging the body to hear God calling for forward movement and to claim the future with joy – a future filled with hope. The episcopal address can be viewed here. Rev. Sue Russell and Ms Georgia Whitney gave the monitoring report from the previous day’s session. Ninety percent of speakers were white, and a disproportionate number of speakers were clergy. More women than men spoke from the microphones and the majority of speakers are older than 35. 180
However, this year has a larger number of youth and young people registrants than in prior years. Russell and Whitney encouraged members from underrepresented groups to share their thoughts. Bishop called for a break with plans to reconvene at 10:30 for the Memorial Service. Clergy and clergy spouses who have died since May of 2023 were honored and celebrated during a moving memorial service. The Upper New York Korean Caucus sang a song of preparation, and Dr. Scott Johnson delivered a powerful sermon about weathering storms of grief by knowing that God, who knows what we need, is always with us. The Memorial Service can be viewed in its entirety here. After the secretary shared announcements, the bishop called for an extended break for lunch with the body to reconvene at 1PM and offered a table blessing. At 1PM, following a time of music and prayer, Bishop Burgos Núñez introduced Dr. Ashley Boggan, General Secretary of the General Commission on Archives and History of the United Methodist Church, who was presented historical gifts by Mr. Sam Smith and Ms Riley Calahan. Dr. Boggan then offered a reflective lesson, Moving Forward with our Past, from John Welsey’s life in the mid-1740s. She spoke of understanding the difference between being historically informed and being nostalgic, and shared a picture of the Sankofa (a bird with its head turned backward while its feet face forward, carrying an egg in its mouth), symbolizing reaching back to reclaim that which has been lost, in order to move forward. History not meant to lure us backward but to propel us forward, to help us through reconciliation for past mistakes knowing we will hold ourselves accountable to refrain from repeating them – to build a better future. “We have before us now, a moment to be hope-filled. To rethink who we want to be in the future. We have a chance to be proactive. To be prophetic. To be vile. The question is: Are we brave enough to do it?” Click here to watch the learning session by Dr. Ashley Boggan. The bishop thanked Dr. Boggan, reinforced her message, and called for a transitional break. Friday, May 31 afternoon Plenary Bishop Burgos Núñez called the body to order at 2:27PM and, following announcements from the secretary, shared the results of the election for three Trustees from the prior day; Mr. Eric Coons was elected with 553 votes, Mr. Naman Lowery with 554 votes, and Reverend Andy Anderson with 541 votes. Several youth called for a Moment of Privilege to present each Bishop Héctor and Bishop Malone a YSF sweatshirt, which each received and wore with gratitude. Bishop Burgos Núñez read a note of gratitude for the sign-language interpreters from a hard-of-hearing member of the body. Bishop introduced Ms Beth Broadway, President & CEO of Interfaith Works, who shared a few words about their programs to end racism and anti-Semitism, engage in food justice and refugee resettlement, and build understanding and community. The bishop invited the members of the Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) back to the stage and Rev. Missy McCarthy to the microphone, to bring conclusion to discussions left unfinished the prior evening. Bishop reminded the body of McCarthy’s pending amendment to the proposed 2025 Ministry Spending Plan, and explained that McCarthy, CFA, and Camps and Retreats Minis181
tries met the prior night and came to a shared understanding. McCarthy withdrew her amendment to the proposed budget, and brought forward a replacement new amendment, “the conference establish a conference wide special Sunday for the purpose of taking an offering for the Campership Advanced Special and each church to participate with CRM producing materials for us to use. I further move for a study to be brought back to us in 2025 involving members from CRM, CLT and CFA to find a way to decrease the cost of camp and retreats in order to make it competitive with other camps in New York State as viable options for all beloved children of God (as well as pastors) and increase awareness on the websites and literature of scholarships for those who have the least resources.” Bishop Burgos Núñez ruled the amendment out of order and worked with McCarthy, who agreed to refer camping fees for study to the Conference Board of Global Ministries, Conference Leadership Team, and Board of Camps and Retreat Ministries who are to bring findings to the 2025 Annual Conference gathering. The bishop brought the body’s attention back to the budget, as proposed and found on page 20 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. With no further discussion sought, the vote was taken, and the budget was approved. Rev. Rich Weihing Jr. and Ms Teddi Urriola presented the report and recommendations from the Commission on Equitable Compensation, which can be found on the conference website at the updates page. Urriola reviewed some of the compelling statistics from their report; the current average clergy compensation in the Upper New York Annual Conference is the fifth lowest among conferences in the United States, while New York State has the second highest cost of living, and, the minimum clergy salary offered in Upper New York falls far short of the New York State average. She asked the body to consider recommendations from the commission that Weihing presented. The six recommendations are on pages 24-5 in the Pre-Conference Workbook and will go into effect Jan. 1, 2025, if adopted. The first, “that the Minimum Base Compensation for full-time pastors in the UNYAC shall be increased by $2,400” with “less than full-time appointments shall receive a base salary pro-rated according to the appointment,” would bring all minimum compensation up to at least $40,000, which would be an increase of 5.7-6.3%, with greatest percentage increase for Licensed Local Pastors. The second recommendation was “that the increment for each year of service be increased from 1.0% to 1.5% of the minimum base compensation” up to 25 years of service. The third recommendation was “that the minimum Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) be increased by $750, from $3500 to $4250,” which has not changed since we became Upper New York in 2010. If adjusted for inflation, it would be $4,900. For example, the IRS mileage reimbursement rates have increased by 34%, which means that the standard is far below what will cover most pastors’ professional expenses. It is the intent of the commission to recommend another increase, to $5,000, next year. The fourth recommendation was “that pastors serving multiple churches continue to receive $500 for each church over one.” The fifth that would be a big change, “that the pulpit supply rate be increased from $90 to $200 for the first service, and $75 to $100 for each additional service,” is being recommended because the amount has not changed since the conference founding in 2010 and $200 better honors the amount of time required for quality work. The sixth recommendation was “that no pastor’s salary can be decreased because of this policy, as long as they retain their current appointment.” Weihing also reported information requested last year, for data related to the percentage of clergy and our conference who is compensated below minimum including percentage breakdowns by race, age, and gender. There are currently 42 clergy persons compensated at or below the minimum. Of the 42, only 2 are compensated at minimum and both are male who fall within the 50-59 age range. Because many clergy elect not to report their race it is impossible to accurately calculate compensation rates by race. Bishop Burgos Núñez opened the discussion. Rev. Rachel Stuart moved to vote on each recommendation individually. A vote was too close to de182
termine so the bishop called for standing vote which yielded 179 in favor of dividing the recommendations and 353 against, therefore the motion was not supported. Rev. Matt Stengel raised a question about the second recommendation. In the past, there was a limit of 25 years of service and no such limit was included in the original recommendation, was that the intent of the commission? Weihing graciously appreciated the error being brought to light and, on behalf of the commission, accepted the editorial amendment. The bishop ensured that the body understood. A layperson who did not identify herself raised a point of information about mileage for supply pastors because the fifth recommendation had discussed mileage in the past but did not this year. After a brief discussion, it was clarified that the commission had not discussed mileage, although it was their intent to include all IRS qualified professional expenses, so the recommendation stood as presented. Ms Nancy Goddard raised a point of information regarding the fifth recommendation. Does it include certified lay ministers and speakers? The bishop clarified, according to the Book of Discipline, the Commission of Equitable Compensation does not have authority from to create standards for lay persons. Ms Linda Barczykowski, the Director of Lay-servant Ministries for the conference, explained that during the pre-conference briefing she raised ask this question and it was subsequently posted on the conference website that this amount would be for anyone who filled pulpit supply, clergy or laity. The bishop, after reading aloud from paragraph 625 of the Book of Discipline on the purpose and scope of the work of the Commission on Equitable Comp, explained that it is limited to clergy persons who are under appointment. He recognized the possible need for United Methodists of Upper New York to clarify some things regarding regular lay pulpit supply, but for purposes of the current conversation, the fifth recommendation refers exclusively to clergy. He further explained that it is typical that arrangements of pulpit supply involving certified lay ministers and speakers are made between the district office and the local church as an agreement between the two. Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez ruled that the fifth recommendation from the Commission on Equitable Compensation is limited to clergy. Mr. Ian Uriola sought a point of information when he asked the bishop to speak to the source of recommendations to the cabinet, when connecting local churches with lay pulpit supply pastors. The bishop explained, in full transparency, that the cabinet considers these on a case-by-case basis, including setting ranges, depending on the financial capacity of the church. The bishop then recognized that lay pulpit supply compensation requires more clarity and that the present consideration concerned only the recommendations that are limited to clergy compensation. Rev. Jenni Piatt made a motion to amend the fifth recommendation by adding, to the very end, after “each additional service,” “in a church or multi-point charge on the same day.” A vote was taken without request for conversation and the motion carried. Ms Ellen Klock raised a question about the source used to identify the average salary of approximately $70,000 because that does not match with her experiences locally. Ms Urriola explained an article from Forbes was the source and it considered the entire state of New York. Rev. Ron Wenzinger moved an amendment to the second recommendation by changing the years of service increase from 1.5% back to 1%. With a second, he explained his appreciation for the intent of the increase, but it seems to be too big for smaller churches; for example, with 25 years of service would be an additional $16,000. Rev David Nichol agreed that $16,000 is a large amount, reminded they body that the base compensation in Upper New York is one of the lowest in the connection while the cost of living in New York State is high, and suggested some clergy may need to take on multi-point appointments to allow for earning a livable wage. The bishop recognized this speech against the amendment, and, without further discussion raised from the floor, called for the vote. The amendment was not supported. Mr. Brian Baxtrom asked if a phased approach to implementation was considered to allow churches to plan and build up to the larger amounts. Ms Urriola explained that the commission did indeed wrestle with the idea of phased implementation, but were led to understand that was not possible be183
cause this current body cannot hold any future conferences accountable for decisions made this year. The bishop clarified that it is indeed possible for the commission to propose a staggered multi-year increase because future sessions can amend what is decided currently. Bishop further explained that he shared this information with the commission while that were developing their recommendations. Mr. Matthew Williams raised a question about including the anticipated changes in clergy retirement plans and related cost changes to local churches when the commission thought through their recommendation; would this actually lower the amount churches are paying. Weihing explained that the commission, using the data available, discussed it in general but did not get into specifics. The bishop shared what was shared during clergy session; on average, clergy in Upper New York are presently contributing to their retirement at average of 6.7% and the new plan is at 4%, so we are already more than a percentage point above the average. Williams asked a follow up question; will the local church contribution decrease because retirement is being funded differently in the future. The bishop explained that he understood the new retirement plan is intended to be more cost effective for the local church. Rev. Donna Martin made a speech in favor of the main motion, as amended by calling attention to the language in the recommendations, minimums for “full-time” clergy without mention of part-time. Considering most small churches employ pastors at ¼ or ½ time, the change will likely be less significant than it may seem. The bishop offered clarification; when the first recommendation referring to minimum compensations includes a statement stating that less than full-time base salary be prorated according to appointment, it is addressing part-time appointments. Ms Karen Finch asked about when increased rates for years of service are applied; do the increased amounts get applied to all years of service, or only those years beginning when the increase is enacted. Weihing explained that the intent of the commission is that the increased amount would be applied to all the years the clergy person has been in relationship with the conference, prorated for part-time years. Mr. Johnathan Olenback, using a specific example, asked for help understanding how to apply the chart in the second recommendation. At the bishop’s request, Mr. Flask, Treasurer, pointed to the charts at the end of the commission’s report, in the “Supporting Data” section. Flask explained how the supporting data charts work and applied Olenback’s example. Rev. Wilson Jones moved an amendment to the second recommendation to read: we recommend that increment for each year of service be increased from 1% to 1.25% for 2025 and 1.5% for 2026. With a second, Jones spoke to the amendment by pointing out that incremental implementation of this increase might make it easier for local churches execute. Ms Jane Smith spoke against the amendment, sharing that these are not problems to be addressed slowly, in small steps. If wanted the conference wanted to take steps, they should have been implemented 14 years ago. If we continue increasing expenses in tiny increments, this dying church will die faster. How compensation decisions are made affects how the next generation answers calls to ministry. Scarcity of clergy will become famine once no one can afford to be clergy. Rev. Melanie Simmons asked, “Can we do a two-tiered amendment for a budget that’s just for one year?” The bishop explained that decisions being made were concerning compensation rather than the budget and reminded the body that it could indeed adopt a multi-year plan and then adjust it annually as needed. Weihing, on behalf of the commission, offered information that may be helpful; the commission has significant are monies available to help local cover the costs of full-time clergy compensation. Rev. Nate Lange tried to call the question on everything that was before the body. Bishop ruled it out of order because not enough debate had happened to satisfy the rules, should others wish to speak to any of it. Lang, in response, moved to suspend the rules. After explaining that would require a 2/3 vote and is not debatable, bishop called for a vote that did not support suspending the rules. Bishop brought conversation back to the amendment. Rev. Keith Griswold asked if the incremental increase would apply to retired elders who are under appointment. The bishop explained that retirees fall outside the scope of the work of the commission, so the answer is, no. With no further discussion sought, bishop called for a vote that did not support 184
the amendment. Bishop Burgos Núñez brought the conversation back to the recommendations from the commission, the main motion, noting that there had already been one speech in favor. Rev. Nina Dickinson offered speech in favor from the perspective of a pastor serving a multi-point charge. Because they work together can afford a full-time pastor. She had been skeptical that it would work out, but now she sees how it does. Bishop explained that there had been two speeches lifted in support of the recommendations as amended. Rev. Joel Holcomb raised a question, that the bishop clarified, about past practices of the commission to recommend increases for all clergy, even those whose compensation is above the base rate. Weihing explained that the commission, in presenting what they did, made the choice not to include that among their recommendations this year. Rev. Debbie Earthrowl offered a speech against the recommendations as amended because some small churches will be forced to go part-time if this passes because, as the figures show, 44% of pastorates are projected to transition from full to part-time if these pass. Another concern is, because these changes would go into effect on January 1st, they might affect mid-year appointments. All of which have negative effects on clergy well-being. Rev. Drew Sperry, chair of clergy wellness initiatives, lifted a speech in-favor of the recommendations, explaining that he has been privileged to hear stories of how financially unhealthy our clergy are forced to be because of a system that had not raised the minimum compensation in 6 years, until last year. Good love and care for clergy should include care for ensuring a fair wage. A layperson raised a question that was answered before they could share their name and other characteristics. They asked for confirmation that there was a decrease in the commissions budget line for the coming year due to nonuse, leaving $100,000 to be used as needed. The bishop confirmed that is the case. Bishop Burgos Núñez called for a vote to accept the recommendations, the full report from the Commission on Equitable Compensation, as amended, approved. He thanked the commission for their hard work and their faithfulness to the body in their patience while ensuring all questions were answered clearly, before recognizing Mr. Ian Urrioula who asked for a summary statement about what the body just passed. The bishop explained the amendments that had passed before the final vote to approve. Bishop Burgos Núñez introduced a video of the Oswego: First UMC Korean Student New Faith Community Ministry that hosts Bible study sessions and shared Korean meals to help Korean students and other church families maintain their cultural identity while fostering community and spiritual growth. The video can be viewed here The bishop thanked the communications team for their work sharing the stories of the ways United Methodists of Upper New York are making a difference. Bishop Burgos Núñez moved the conversation to populating the Jurisdictional Pool of Nominations to General Boards and Agencies. He explained that members who had already been elected to the delegation are part of the nominations pool so do not need to be affirmed. In response to an email sent several weeks earlier, five additional nominations were received and would need affirmation from United Methodists of Upper New York. Before calling for a vote, the bishop clarified that receiving a nomination from this body does not ensure election to a general board or agency. The nominations of Elizabeth Quick, Diane DiLuzio, Daven Oskvig, Hudda Aswad, and Elizabeth Horn were affirmed. Bishop Burgos Núñez informed the body that the maker has withdraw resolution UNYAC2024.6 in favor of supporting another resolution with similar intent. 185
Rev. David Martinez brought greetings from General Board of Higher Education and Ministry and shared some of the scholarships they offer. Bishop Burgos Núñez explained that the big #BeUMC letters began at the general conference in Charlotte as a prop in videos of delegates sharing their testimony of what a blessing it is to be a United Methodist. Three were a few sets that have been touring around the connection; the one in Syracuse came last from Nashville and would be visiting ten more annual conferences over the next month. He set the time of 6:20pm to gather as many people as possible to surround the letters and pray over them to show that we are connected and to bless our siblings in Great River, where it was headed next. The Secretary shared announcements, Rev Carlos Rosa Laguer offered a table blessing in Spanish that the bishop translated to English, and the body recessed for dinner. During the Celebration of Ministry and Commissioning Service Bishop Tracy Smith Malone joined Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez in commissioning Justin Michael Hood, Christine Ann Mitchell, Danyal Mohammadzadeh, and Alicia Margaret Wood for the work of an elder. Deaconess Constance Glover was commissioned, and Deaconess Josefina Nicholas-Tacadena transferred her relationship from the Philippines to the Upper New York Conference. Bishop Malone delivered the message “The Joy of Hope.” Click here to watch the celebration. Saturday, June 1, 2024 Gathering The third and final day of Annual Conference opened with a time of praise music and a word from Rev Nancy Dibelius encouraging the body to participate in sharing their gifts onto a paper cutout of a hand and add it to the basket, that will be used into the future spiritual life of the annual conference. She then led those gathered through the ancient Christian spiritual practice of Entering the Narrative and closed with a prayer of thanksgiving. Saturday, June 1, 2024 Plenary Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez welcomed the body back at 9:03AM and shared words of gratitude for the work of all the young persons involved in annual conference, highlighting those sharing their gift of music as part of the praise band and Ms Abby McCarthy, a high school junior who will pursue art in college, designed and built the Ebenezer on the stage (it will become part of her portfolio when applying to colleges). Bishop also called attention to the Ebenezers on each table and thanked the people from Killawog UMC for a handmade cross. The monitoring report was shared by Ms Ellen Klock and Mr. Charles Syms who explained that while the racial make-up of speakers yesterday reflects the composition of the room (nearly 90% white) there were underrepresented groups yet to be heard from. Syms encouraged folks from those groups who may feel uncomfortable to approach him for help. They reported that the Same number of men and women spoke but there was a disproportionate number of clergy speakers. While most speakers were over 35 years old there was a strong showing of young people the day prior. Saturday’s statistics were to be compiled and posted to the conference webpage and social media platforms along with all data collected. Mr. Matthew Williams was given a minute of personal privilege that he used to thank the teams for responding to concerns raised about how speakers identify themselves and to those who developed Imagine No Racism. Bishop Burgos Núñez responded by adding that racial equity is part of God’s will 186
for us. Being culturally competent disciples is a skillset and “heart-set” that will help us better communicate and relate to each other. We are called to go out and be in relationship; growing in our cultural competence in a diverse world is part of that. The bishop answered questions he received privately. The first concerned when the young person asked for a moment of privilege, they were prevented from speaking into the microphone. A moment of privilege is just that, a privilege that is granted at the will of the chair, who must discern appropriateness to guard against potential harm. The second clarification arose from a question asked about Bishop Héctor’s use of “ready to vote” instead of “any more discussion” when the body is in discussion and deliberation and a motion has been made. It is a matter of style as a way for him to see where the body is and to prompt people that it would be appropriate to make a speech for or against, seek a point of order or clarification, or call the question. Rev. Bill Gottschalk-Fielding, Rev. Mike Weeden, Rev. Aaron Bouwens, and Conference Lay Leader Jessica White offered the Conference Leadership Report that named challenges and goals for vitality and celebrated the United Methodist connection and collaboration within the Conference. Gottschalk-Fielding began with the metaphor from 1 Corinthians 12 that talks about the church as a human body with many distinct parts working in connection with one another. According to the Book of Discipline, each local church is a part of the body that “is the most significant arena” for disciple making. It is where the most important work is carried out. The annual conference, made up of its own parts, is then the connective tissue supporting the work of the churches in healthy ways. When one part of the body is unwell, the whole body feels it. We have all experienced health challenges over the last several years. The church has known health challenges as well, including attendance and engagement decline as a residual impact of COVID, disaffiliations fueled by disagreements over LGBTQ ministry, uncertainty about the future of the United Methodist Church, the pace and volume of change within The Church and the world around it, the financial and operational implications that come with all that, and the resulting lack of trust in annual conferences as well as among clergy. The symptoms are seen in the data; declining worship attendance, flat or declined giving, few if any willing volunteers, no ordinands and fewer commissioners. But what is most important is how we feel about our overall health, currently and into the future. The time for more diagnostic testing is past. Now is the time for action. If we want to get healthy, we need to make healthy choices and turn to one another for support. Weeden spoke to one of the health challenges facing UNYAC; financial strain from 118 church disaffiliations. The goal is to make sure that this challenge doesn’t deter us from the mission of making disciples. One of the healthy choices we made to ensure this reality does not deter us from the mission of making disciples was to reduce the size of the superintendency by combining services, thereby reducing cost. A word of gratitude was lifted for the six Superintendency Administrative Assistants (Tammy, Patti, Lyn, Betsy, Carrie, and Rosemary) who, working as a new team, have been and remain on front lines through faithfulness to the mission, as they connect the conference and district and local church in this season of change. Healthy leaders nurture healthy congregations. That is why Bishop Héctor, and the Clergy Wellness Team have helped us focus on pastors’ and congregational leaders’ health. Clergy wellness was the focus of the Bishop’s Retreat in January, and Clergy Days Apart are available this year. Also, the appointive cabinet, as lead by Jesus, works to match the needs of congregations and their surrounding communities with the unique gifts of a pastor. Regional collaborations are successful, but there is a real and present struggle to find congregational leaders. And, of course, pastors and other congregational leaders come from local churches. Therefore, every local church has a responsibility to identity and encourage youth and adults to hear and answer God’s call to serve and then nurture their work. The body was encouraged to consider their own possible call to ministry and the call someone in their home church may be hearing. Through it all, we are being invited to imagine church in creative, new, and different ways by pooling skills and gifts among one 187
another (clergy and lay) to do ministry together. Several examples of collaborations were named, and a video was shared as an example of new and creative ways to live into the mission of the church, in new places, and as an example of answering a call to ministry by bringing the first United Methodist Church to Canada, and it’s Pilipino. Click here to watch Manny Valdez (Short Version) video. Click here to watch Manny Valdez (Long Version) video at First United Methodist Church of Ontario. Weeden followed with words of gratitude for the faithful church members, and to their pastors and to Rev. Abigail Browka and Rev. Carlos Rosa Laguer for shepherding these congregations. And to all the congregations of Upper New York for adapting and being faithful throughout all the changes so far and through the changes that continue. Together we will claim God’s future with hope and joy. White reminded the body that last year she introduced the innovative word, “claity.” The words clergy and laity combined, to speak about the wonderful partnership between the two, to fulfill the mission of the church, making disciples for the transformation of the world. This conference is blessed to have a few dedicated laity who lead our churches and are guided and supported by clergy friends. More laity must reclaim their active roles in the disciple-making process. With fewer people stepping forward to serve as clergy, there is a greater need for laity to hear God’s call on their lives. A call to ministry does not always mean a call to ordination. Lay people are asked to serve through their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. While clergy play vital role in equipping people, laity are entrusted with the primary responsibility of making disciples. White spoke of her time at the April 13th, Fanning the Flame, gathering, that was rejuvenating to work of the lay ministry team in her district. She encouraged laity to support and lift clergy in whatever ways they need it and to remember that the work of the church is accomplished by the whole body, not just one person. White called on clergy to lean on laity, allowing laity to lead and equipping them to go out into the world. To move forward strong, empowered laity is needed to lead side by side with clergy - siblings watching out for one another and being the hands and feet of God. Gottschalk-Fielding explained that he delivered this part of the report in place of Liz Aristy, who would have shared but was unable to be present at the time the leadership report was eventually delivered. The year prior, Bishop Héctor had invited the leadership team to examine on how it supports the mission and vision of the conference. They included the Extended Cabinet and Executive Staff in their discussions that yielded greater clarity of distinct roles and responsibilities. The Extended Cabinet is where significant strategic work is engaged. The Appointive Cabinet, which is part of the Extended Cabinet, is responsible for the development and deployment of clergy. The Executive Staff, the other part of the Extended Cabinet, is responsible for the daily operations of the annual conference, including staff oversight, and the Conference Leadership Team is responsible for vision casting and accountability. Along with at-large members, chairs of 5 administrative teams populate the leadership team ensuring a range of administrative and programmatic perspectives to decrease unhealthy isolation and increase life-giving collaboration. The leadership team clarified and focused the core values of the Upper New York Annual Conference, which are: To faithfully respond with love to God’s grace in Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit; To collaboratively honor the diversity of perspectives, gifts, and skills present among us as a connectional body; and To, prophetically, with compassion, courageously seek mercy, justice, equity, and peace for all of God’s children. During the prior year’s session, the leadership team was asked to form the Child Victims Act Costs task force whose work was brought to this session on Friday. And the leadership team has been working with the Camps and Retreat Ministries team to begin a deep analysis of their work because the few years prior had brought challenges that result in asking if now the time is best to be engaged in this ministry. The plan is to have a full report next year. Bouwens reminded the body of last year’s episcopal address that encouraged a shift from “church growth” to “missional impact” understanding of ministry and turned to Luke 4 to understand what “mis188
sional impact” means; “that our circumstances are different because we are present as people who embody the mission of Jesu within our communities.” He further explained that the Office of Missional Excellence’s purpose if to resource local congregations and local leaders and the team has begun to develop a framework to understand their work. The concept may be different next year, when a graphic representation may be available. There are several practical resources already available through the conference website, including the Clergy Wellness Initiative, a partnership with Wespath to support pastors of color to attendance at the Bishops’ retreat, Saving Grace Financial Well-Being Training (which has room in the next cohort), Amplified media, and a Compelling Preaching Grant through Lily Foundation (the first tangible from which are the Journals that had been distributed on tables promote rest, work and play). Work is being done to fulfill plans of an Academy for Spiritual Formation in the Fall of 2025, Asset Based Community Development, which helps us understand what is already working successfully and how can we build from it through new and existing connections, and taking the next steps in the Imagine No Racism initiative. Bishop Burgos Núñez thanked presenters and reminded the body that Annual Conference is not an event, it is a communal effort of the hundreds of people who make it happen. Members of Conference Teams, Boards, and Agencies were invited to stand and be recognized. Bishop then introduced two videos; watch the new faith communities video here, and the Finally Friday video here. In a Service of Passage, District Superintendents lifted the names of those being deployed to new missional spaces or adding to the spaces they are currently serving, then the bishop lifted prayer for those and the changes they will be experiencing; view the full appointment list here. Ken and Diane Thurlow of Central Park United Methodist Church in Buffalo were presented the Harry Denman Evangelism Award. This couple is a whirlwind – leading campaigns, befriending others, organizing church for efficiency and simply reaching out to those in need. They are at the heart of every activity with a clear devotion to love one another for service. They are followers of Jesus Christ who share their prayers and beliefs with others on a constant basis. The One Matters Award was presented to Living Hope UMC from the Albany District, Christ Church UMC from the Adirondack District, Ogdensburg UMC from the Northern Flow District, and Madison UMC from the Mohawk District. Rev Naomi Annandale, Executive Director of Research and Evaluation at Discipleship Ministries presented plaques and arrangements for $1,000 to each of these congregations in recognition of their recent baptism and profession of faith after several years without any. The Buffalo-10 Scholarship presentation began with a story of healing told by Rev. Angela Stewart, who reminded the body of the horrific massacre on May 14, 2022, of ten people in a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, NY. She lifted the names; Roberta A. Drury, Margus D. Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Celestine Chaney, Heyward Patterson, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young, and Ruth Whitfield, each person who was murdered for being black. Zaire Goodman, Jennifer Warrington, and Christopher Braden were shot and survived. It has been two short years that sometimes feels like it was just yesterday and other times like decades of life have been lived since. The community continues to recover from their shared trauma. Work has been done to restore the site, the store is reopened, the site for a remembrance is in place, a memorial sculpture is planned, and regular activities are happening; but the journey of healing and justice is still a long one ahead of us. Rev. Tonya Spencer (BFC) explained how the United Methodists of Upper New York wanted to contribute somehow to the journey of healing and justice, so begin this scholarship as one step and one way to take first steps on the healing path. Three are no illusions about the limited power of this scholarship; It will not undo decades of residential and economic segregation, or understandings of inherent superiorities of one race over another or believing a few cans of food is a substitute for 189
meaningful human connection. These funds can be blessings to young people and their families who pursue their dream by furthering their education. The young people who have received this scholarship have already done some amazing work in the community and are on their way to do more great things that will benefit the East side of Buffalo. Spencer introduced Xavier Mann, the prior year’s scholarship recipient. Mann expressed gratitude for the scholarship and explained that May 14th had always been a day of significance in his family because that is his little sister’s birthday. It came to be a day of fear and uncertainty. He is deeply honored and appreciative of the scholarship support that makes it possible to pursue his education and reported that he finished his first year with a 3.8 grade point average. Rev. Scott Johnson introduced those who will receive full scholarships from the 2024 Buffalo-10 Scholarship fund; Gyun Wiggins, who will study biomedical engineering, and Antoinette Pendergass, who will major in child psychology, with a minor in music. Each student submitted an introductory video that was shared with the body. Johnson shared that healing the wounds of May 2022 will take time because physical, emotional and mental wounds cannot be made well in 2 years. Just as the violence and sin of racism cannot be undone quickly. We stand and bear witness to our hope of the day we are headed toward, when healing will be confirmed, and justice will be the norm. Bishop Burgos Núñez thanked the team and expressed his hope to increase the Buffalo-10 Scholarship fund so that not only two, but ten young people can receive scholarships next year. He then presented the outgoing conference committee and board chairs with crosses made by hand by a layperson in gratitude for their season of service and leadership beyond their local church responsibilities. Bishop recognizing team leaders that are rotating off. Sara Baron was thanked for her service through the Commission on Pensions and Health Benefits, Holly Roush was thanked for her service through the Council on Finance and Administration, Jolene Tuttle was thanked for her service through the Sessions Team, Carmen Perry was thanked for her service through the Board of Ordained Ministries, Tim Barnes was thanked for his service through Camps and Retreats Ministries, Heather Williams was thanked for his service through the Order of Elders, Steve Smith was thanked for his service through the Order of Elders, and Carrie Ann Wolfe was thanked for her service through the Order of Deacons. Mr. Ian Urriola moved to “suspend the rules so that all remaining items that the conference act on be handled as follows: The author (or designee) of the resolution be given 3 minutes to present their resolution, and then the body move immediately to an up or down vote on the resolution. If any amendment to the resolution have already been presented to the secretary, the author of the amendment shall have 60 seconds to present their amendment and speak to their rationale for the amendment, the author of the original resolution shall have 60 seconds to respond to the proposed amendment, and then the body shall immediately move to vote on the amendment followed immediately by a vote on the resolution.” It received a second. Bishop Burgos Núñez explained that such a motion would require 2/3 approval from the body, had Urriola re-read the proposed amendment, and then re-stated the proposed temporary rules to be sure that “people are very clear about the process … so that we can avoid the possibility of having to call people out of order as they try to navigate around what the body is trying to vote on.” With the motion properly and clearly before the body, a vote was taken and the motion carried. After offering words of gratitude to the makers and the reviewers of the submitted petitions and resolutions and a prayer, on behalf of the committee, chair, Mr. Tom Schmidt, presented the Petitions and Resolutions, found beginning on page 45 of the Pre-Conference Workbook. UNYAC2024.1- BEGINNING THE WORK OF REPARATIONS, submitted by, Rev. George F. Nicholas, asked “that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church establish a task 190
force to explore reparations for African Americans in Black churches in the Annual Conference. This task force will be selected by the Conference Commission on Religion and Race (CCORR) and be comprised of two (2) members of CCORR, two (2) members of the Conference Board of Trustees, two (2) members of the Cabinet, two (2) youth (added by the body), and two (2) at-large members. It is recommended this task force be comprised of at least 1/3 clergy; 1/3 laity; 1/3 women; and 1/3 men; and …that the task force track federal H.R. 40 and New York State S.1163-A/A.7691, and when Commission reports are released, study and disseminate conclusions to local churches; and …that the task force, in collaboration with the Conference Board of Trustees, report to the regular 2025 session of Annual Conference the feasibility of directing the Annual Conference to designate a share of the net proceeds from the sale of properties as a result of closure of local churches for the ministries of Black churches in the Annual Conference,” found on p. 45 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by Rev. Vivian Ruth Waltz, who spoke to it by sharing the social history and scriptural rationale behind the work being proposed. Rev. David Nichols, on behalf of Rev. George Nicholas, one of the original makers, had already submitted a motion to amend page 46 line 3 by inserting the words “2 youth” after “cabinet,” to ensure youth have voice in the future of the church. The amendment was approved, and Resolution 2024.1 was adopted, as amended. UNYAC2024.2 - LOCAL CONGREGATION SEMINARY GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS, submitted by, Rev. Brett Johnson, asked “that the Upper New York Board of Ordained Ministry, in conjunction with the District Committees on Ordained Ministry, collate and publish the available scholarships and grants publicly offered by local congregations which are open to applicants regardless of candidacy status or local church membership,” and “that any specific demographic requirements of scholarships and grants be included in the publication; and … that this publication will be made initially publicly available through the Board of Ordained Ministry page on the Conference website by our next conference session, and available in hard copy format to all District Committees on Ordained Ministry by the same date,” and “that this publication will be updated every year to reflect any changes and to be kept up-to-date and made publicly available through the Board of Ordained Ministry page on the Conference website by our next annual conference session (was changed by the author) and available in hard copy format to all District Committees on Ordained Ministry by our next annual conference session (was changed by the author),” found on page 47 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by Johnson, who also amended the petition to change “January 1, 2025” to “our next annual conference session.” Before the vote was taken, Rev. Anne Kemper, asked for a point of information under the newly adopted rules, clarifying how to remove the responsibility that would be expected of the Board of Ordained Ministry should this resolution be adopted. Bishop Burgos Núñez explained the only way would be to vote against Resolution 2024.2, which was adopted as changed. UNYAC2024.3 - RESOLUTION TO CREATE UNITED METHODISTS OF UPPER NEW YORK PARENTAL LEAVE POLICY submitted by, Rev. Bryant Clark, as Vice Chair of The United Methodists of Upper New York Commission on the Status and Role of Women, asked that “United Methodists of Upper New York do lament that, in requiring Parental Leave last no longer than 13 weeks, our United Methodist denomination fails to live up to the conventions and recommendations established by the World Health Organization and International Labour Standards, which calls for Parental Leave to not be less than 18 weeks; and …United Methodists of Upper New York do hereby publicly repent of and confess our collective sin of failing to ensure equitable Parental Leave policies for clergy families; and … United Methodists of Upper New York support work being done by the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women to advocate for legislative change in future General Conferences to bring our denominational requirements in line with the conventions and recommendations provided by the World Health Organization; and …United Methodists of Upper New York adopt the Parental Leave Policy and Procedure, included as an appendix to this resolution, effective following the adjournment of the 2024 Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference; and … the United Methodists of Upper New York direct the Conference communications team to publish this Parental Leave Policy on the Annual Conference website and the clergy support policies document; and … United Methodists of Upper New York invite the Cabinet to share this Parental Leave Policy, in its totality, with the chairs of Staff/Parish Relations Committees of local congregations in our Annual Conference no later than July 1, 2024; and … United Methodists of Upper New York invite the Cabinet to communicate this change in policy as they preside over Charge Conference sessions in 2024 or ensure that the Pre191
siding Elder communicates this change in policy as they preside over Charge Conference sessions in 2024; and … United Methodists of Upper New York support work being done by our Annual Conference boards, teams, and agencies; local churches and extension ministries; and General Church Boards and Agencies to advocate for and establish just universal paid Parental Leave policies in all sectors of our society,” found on page 49 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by Rev. Jee Hae Song and Mr. Ian Urriola. An amendment had been previously submitted regarding the policy being proposed as an appendix to the resolution being proposed. The amendment, submitted by youth member Abigail McCarthy and presented by Rev. Melissa McCarthy, was to page 53, line 42 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, changing the requirement of 90-days notice by adding the words “when feasible.” The amendment was approved, and Resolution 2024.3 was adopted, as amended. UNYAC2024.4- CLERGY TIME OFF POLICY submitted by, Rev. Kimberly Ferrel, asked “that the Upper New York Annual Conference Clergy Support Policies, section VII. Paid Time Off Policy subsection B be amended to state, ‘All clergy under episcopal appointment are entitled to four weeks of vacation each year with five weeks for those with more than 20 years of full-time equivalent service. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of vacation’” and “that the Upper New York Annual Conference Clergy Support Policies, section VII. Paid Time Off Policy subsection F be amended to state, ‘Vacation and paid time off for supply pastors and district hires are to be individually negotiated in consultation with the SPRC, pastor, and District Superintendent at the initial appointment and subsequently as needed’,” found on page 58 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by the author. Resolution 2024.4 was adopted, without amendment. UNYAC2024.5 - END U.S. FUNDING FOR ISRAEL’S MILITARY OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE submitted by The Upper New York Task Force on Peace with Justice in Palestine/Israel and Endorsed by the Upper New York Social Holiness Team, asked “that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church calls upon the United States government to: End U.S. financial support for Israel’s military (the “Israeli Defense Force”) to ensure American aid is not used to support the continuation of Israel’s military occupation and violations of Palestinian human rights. Redirect the $3.8 billion in military funding that the U.S. is scheduled to give to the Israeli government in both 2024 and 2025 to help repair and rebuild the devastation that has been wrought in Gaza. Support the Palestinian people in their struggle for self-determination and the establishment of a state in which they will enjoy equal rights with all their fellow citizens and Jewish neighbors,” and “that the Conference Secretary will send the full text of this resolution to the President of the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State, and all legislators in the U.S. Congress representing the State of New York,” found on page 59 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by Rev. Merle Showers. Resolution 2024.5 was adopted, without amendment. Mr. Schmidt reminded the body that Resolution UNYAC2024.6 - UPPER NEW YORK FREEDOM FROM FIREARMS submitted by, Carol E. Roote et. al., found on page 61 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, had been previously withdrawn by the maker. UNYAC2024.7 - UNITED METHODIST PROPERTIES AND EVENTS ARE GUN FREE ZONES submitted by, Heather Smith, asked “that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church require, as part of the rental agreement, that the meeting areas used for conference events and programs, including the main hall used for conference sessions, and any other areas, including meeting rooms, and dining and display areas, be posted as gun-free zones;” and “that no firearms will be allowed within the sanctuaries, buildings, or any of the programs or events, or any of the lands owned by the Conference.” Exemptions to this are hired contracted security personnel to protect the church under dire circumstances and law enforcement personnel, and “that all Conference sites shall post clear and visible signage that firearms are strictly forbidden on conference properties or sites 192
and that all local churches be encouraged to” determine what their needs are to provide a safe gun free zone, found on page 64 of the Pre-Conference Workbook, was presented by the author. There were two amendments that had been previously submitted to the Secretary to be considered. The bishop invited Mr. Victor Giso, to speak to his amendment, that recommends an addition to line 5 on page 65 after the word “conference,” to include “Exemptions to this are hired contracted security personnel to protect the church under dire circumstances and law enforcement personnel.” After Giso did so, the bishop clarified by pointing to lines 4 and 5 that specifically name conference owned property, rather than property under the care of local church trustees. Rev. Brett Johnson asked a Point of Information about the impact the “trust clause” would have on understanding ownership of local church and conference properties. The bishop pointed to the Book of Discipline that names two distinct groups, the Conference Trustees and the local church Trustees. He then pointed to lines 7 & 8 of the proposed resolution that specifically name conference owned properties. The bishop then summarized the amendment and invited Giso to make one last comment. Giso explained that, while the resolution, and thereby the amendment, speak to the conference office, it is his hope that local churches engage in conversation about the topic. Because a seated-hand-vote was too close to call, a standing vote was taken and the Giso amendment carried by a vote of 226 in favor and 146 against. The second amendment to be considered was submitted by Dominick Corsi who sought approval to change his submitted amendment, which was granted. The replacement amendment was to the end of line 8 on page 65; remove “to post this signage” and replace it with “that all local churches be encouraged to determine what their needs are to provide a safe gun-free zone.” The bishop clarified the wording of the replacement amendment and recognized Rev. Andy Pollack with a Point of Information seeking clarification because the conversation has stressed that the resolution pertains to conference properties, but local churches are referenced throughout. Bishop Burgos Núñez clarified that language about conference properties would need be acted upon and language about local church is aspirational, or simply encouraging action. Ms Smith, the author of the original resolution expressed her support for this amendment. Rev. Joe Auslander raised a point of inquiry about the statement on page 64, lines 31-32 That involves direction that is not given to local churches and moved to suspend discussion until such time as the resolution can be re-written. The bishop explained that these lines make up a “Whereas” statement, which makes it aspirational and open to interpretation. He explained that the actions the body would be directing or mandating happen because of their vote are found in the “Therefore” statements. Bishop Burgos Núñez further explained that the rules the body adopted preclude entertaining such a motion, so the only way to oppose any language in the proposed resolution is to vote against the resolution. The bishop called for the vote and the Corsi amendment carried. Mr. Andrew Hunt lifted a parliamentary inquiry about how the recently adopted rule changes were being applied because they would have precluded any point of information or inquiry, yet those had been allowed while the request to suspend discussion was not. The bishop explained that, as the president, it is his privilege to determine how to apply the rules and he was choosing to extend grace to allow for the most clarity as possible when recognizing points of information and inquiry. To suspend or table an entire resolution would be too far afield of the rules that the body had adopted. Rev. Joellyn Tuttle, as the current chair of the Sessions Team, asked a question related to lines 49 and 50 on page 64 and line 1 on page 65 of the Pre-Conference Workbook that includes meeting and gathering spaces as gun-free; she asked if Onondaga Community College (where the body was meeting) is a gun-free zone. The bishop deduced that it is gun-free, because it is a New York State facility, and then allowed for one last inquiry, which he acknowledged, was still working outside the rules the body adopted. Mr. Tim Barnes asked the makers of the resolution to suggest what to do about guns used to control rabid animals that might pose an imminent threat to the safety and welfare of children and others at conference owned campsites. The bishop explained that it was still hypothetical to ask such a question because the resolution had not been adopted, but in the interest of Christian conferencing, further engaged Barns, ensuring that Barns’ concern was not covered by the amendment just approve. Barns explained his rationale behind asking for such information, which effectively became a speech against the resolution being 193
proposed, so was ruled out of order. As was Ms Smith’s request to offer a final remark. Before calling for the vote, Bishop Burgos Núñez called for the body to take a collective deep-breath and for Lay Leader, Jessica White to lift a word of prayer. Resolution 2024.7 was adopted, as amended twice. With that action, the business of this session of the Upper New York Annual Conference was nearly at an end. Mr. Schmidt thanked those involved in the work of Petitions and Resolutions and Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez thanked organizers and all who helped and took part to make this gathering of the United Methodists of Upper New York the success that it was. The Secretary shared a few final announcements and then Rev. Carolyn Stow moved that the 15th session of the Upper New York Annual Conference be adjourned until a gathering to be scheduled in 2025 for 16th session. She further moved that, in matters of importance requiring attention between sessions, a mail ballot be authorized where the bishop and a majority of district superintendents deem that process necessary. The motion to adjourn carried. The body was sent forth with a time of closing worship that included singing, prayer (including Wesley’s Covenant Prayer), an inspirational word from Bishop Burgos Núñez reminding everyone that United Methodists of Upper New York “are moving forward with God’s help and for God’s purposes,” and a humble blessing to, among other things, “Go in peace.”

Conference Rules The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (2022) The Rules contained herein consist of the totality of Rules previously adopted by the Annual Conference, as amended. Adopted by the Annual Conference, May 2012 Amended by Annual Conference, June 2013, Amended by Annual Conference, October 2022. The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church Organizational Rules The organizational plan of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (as defined in The Plan of Union of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, approved on June 19, 2010, hereinafter referred to as The Plan of Union, with statements of Vision and Purpose contained therein) will be as determined by the Annual Conference itself, in such a manner as (1) to be responsive to the Vision and Purpose of the Annual Conference, (2) to be responsive to the Mission of The United Methodist Church, as most recently adopted by The General Conference of The United Methodist Church, 2020/2024, (3) to be compatible with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2016 hereinafter referred to as The Discipline or The Book of Discipline, and (4) to be reflective of the Rules contained herein. Paragraph references contained herein are to The Book of Discipline unless indicated otherwise. The primary loci for ministry and mission in The United Methodist Church are the local churches and the communities in which they are located. The Annual Conference has responsibilities for sharing and assisting the ministry and mission of its local churches by equipping for ministry and by providing linkages for the sharing of ministry through such means as motivation, encouragement, facilitation, coordination, training, valuation, and other forms of support. The Annual Conference also provides the challenge to global ministry (that is, connectional, ecumenical, and secular ministry beyond the local church and its community), and the link between local ministry and global ministry. In order to fulfill its role with respect to its local churches, The United Methodist Church, and the church universal, the Annual Conference will elect or otherwise select persons to serve as individuals or as members of specific groups, with understood duties, responsibilities, and accountabilities to the local churches and to the Annual Conference at large. Elected Members and Ex Officio Members of Conference Agencies In what follows, there will be distinctions between those who are directly elected by the Annual Conference itself or by a group within the Annual Conference to serve as an individual, or as a member of a group (with privileges of both voice and vote) in contrast to those who serve (ex officio) by virtue of holding some other office or position and serving with privileges of voice and vote, or with privilege of voice only. Persons who serve on General Church Agencies or Jurisdictional Agencies shall serve on the corresponding agencies of the Annual Conference, ex‐officio, with vote. Unless otherwise stated, it shall be the preference of the Upper New York Conference for individuals to only be elected to serve on one Conference Agency or Board. This preference shall not preclude individuals from minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities from serving on Conference Agencies or Boards whose primary mission is serving and/or advocating for their minoritized, disenfranchised, or under-served communities, including, but not limited to, the Conference Commission on Religion and Race, the Conference Commission on the Status and Role of Women, the Conference Committee on Native American Ministries, the Conference Hispanic Ministries Team, the Conference Committee on Disability Concerns, the Conference Ministry Action Team for Higher Education, the Conference Council on Older Adult Ministries, the Conference Council on Youth Ministries, and the Conference Council on Young Adult Ministries. Likewise, this preference shall not preclude individuals from ex-officio membership on Conference Agencies and Boards by virtue of their position or status. Terms of Office and Term Limits of Elected Members of Conference Agencies For persons who are elected to serve as members of groups in “membership classes”, the term of office is from the moment of adjournment of the Conference Session at which the election took place or the selection was announced, until the moment of adjournment of the regular Conference Session held in the year of the “class.” Persons will normally be elected to classes for full‐ length terms, exceptions occurring only to fill vacancies and during the period of startup for the group concerned. Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, full‐length terms shall be for four years, and the maximum term for persons serving in classes shall be two consecutive full‐length terms. Individuals who have served two consecutive full-length terms may be invited by the Nominations and Leadership Development Team to continue service on the team in emeritus status, with voice and no vote. Individuals serving in this capacity may return to full service on the group following one year of emeritus service, if nominated by the Nominations and Leadership Development team.
202
In the event of a vacancy opening in a class after the adjournment of the regular Annual Conference session at which the election for that took place or the selection was announced, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development in consultation with the team in need of filling a vacancy shall nominate an individual to fill the vacancy to be confirmed by Conference Leadership Team. The appointee’s service on this group shall begin immediately following their confirmation. At the regular Annual Conference session immediately following their nomination to the Conference Agency or Board, the Annual Conference shall ratify this nomination or elect a new individual to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. If their vacancy service equates to less than half of the length of the full term of that team, their vacancy service shall not count as a full term, and they shall not be subject to existing term limits for that team. If their vacancy service equates to half the length of the full term for that team or longer, their vacancy term shall count as a full term, subject to existing term limits for that team. Service “on a quadrennial basis” indicates full‐length terms beginning and ending in years when the General Conference meets. Successive tenures on the same group must be separated by an absence of at least one year. Lay Members of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise, lay persons elected to serve on groups or individuals within The Upper New York Annual Conference shall be professing members of The United Methodist Church, except for youth members. The Nomination Process and Diversity Recommendations Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, nominations shall be by the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development, or from the floor of the Annual Conference; elections will be by the Annual Conference itself meeting in plenary session. Membership of organizations within the Annual Conference shall, to as great an extent as possible, conform and adhere to the recommendations contained in ¶610.5 of The Book of Discipline. It is further recommended that, as much as possible, there be balance of membership from among the respective Districts of the Annual Conference, a balance of representation from urban, suburban, and rural local churches, and representation from small‐member and ethnic‐minority local churches. Leadership of Conference Agencies Unless stated otherwise for specific groups, groups elected by the Annual Conference will be expected to organize themselves at their first meetings of the year. This Organizational Meeting will include the election of a chairperson (unless one is designated through the nominations process), a vice chairperson, and a (recording) secretary from among the elected members. Once elected, these officers will continue in place until new officers are elected. In the event that the slate of nominees (including continuing members) for a specific group includes neither a continuing chairperson nor a continuing vice‐chairperson for that group, the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall designate an initial convener from among the nominees for the group. This person will convene the organizational meeting and preside until a chairperson is duly elected. Scheduling of Conference Agency Meetings A schedule of meetings for each group will be proposed and approved by majority vote at the Organizational Meeting of each group, or electronically as soon thereafter as possible. The nature and complexity of the work to be completed shall drive the scheduling and frequency of meetings. Meetings of groups consisting of at least 50 percent lay persons shall be scheduled on evenings and weekends whenever possible so that the working schedules of persons employed outside of the Church and school schedules of students may be accommodated. Additionally, and for the purpose of minimizing travel costs and time, meetings will be held using Conference telephone calling or other appropriate technologies whenever possible, provided that the specialized needs of persons with handicapping conditions are accommodated. The quorum for the conduct of business at scheduled meetings shall be those present and voting. Persons unable to attend meetings (due to personal illness, family emergency, work or school schedule conflicts, work emergenc y, adverse weather, or other uncontrollable circumstances acceptable to the Chairperson) shall be expected, whenever possible, to request an excused absence before the convening of the meeting concerned. Elected members of groups who have two consecutive unexcused absences from regularly scheduled meetings will be assumed as having resigned from the group, and the Chairperson of the group will request the nomination and election of a replacement through the Chairperson of the Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development. Nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the Chairperson to call special meetings as may be necessary, but a majority of the elected voting membership must be present in order to conduct business at such called meetings.
203
Conference Agencies
Board of Trustees (¶2512) The Board of Trustees of The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church shall be elected and serve in accordance with the provisions of The Plan of Union of The Upper New York Annual Conference, The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, and the Religious Corporations Law of the State of New York. In addition to the elected membership, the Treasurer/Director of Administrative Services, a District Superintendent, and the Director of Connectional Ministries shall serve ex-officio without vote. Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development (¶610): The Committee on Nominations and Leadership Development shall be elected and serve in accordance with the provisions of The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church and the Rules of the Upper New York Annual Conference. The “complete report of nominations” submitted by this Committee to the Annual Conference shall include not only the nominations for chairs and/or members of groups initiated by this Committee, but also the nominations made by other groups or individuals in accordance with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church and these Rules. The Committee shall solicit suggestions from Committees on nominations and leadership development of local churches, and from local church lay leaders.

Appendix II Equalization Lay Members I. The Constitution (¶32 of The Book of Discipline 2016) and Discipline (¶602.4 of The Book of Discipline 2016) of The United Methodist Church require that the number of Lay Members of each Annual Conference be augmented, through the addition of “Equalization Lay Members” (with voice and vote) so as to equal the number of Clergy Members in the Annual Conference concerned. The means for electing these Equalization Lay Members is left to the discretion of each Annual Conference. II. The Conference Secretary shall, at the close of each calendar year, determine the number of Equalization Lay Members to be needed at the following Session of the Annual Conference by calculating the difference between the number of Clergy Members of the Annual Conference and the number of Lay Members to be elected by the respective Local Charge Conferences. This number shall be reported, promptly, to the Cabinet, the Chair of the Sessions Committee, and the Chair of the Rules Committee. III. The Chair of the Rules Committee shall create a prioritized list of potential nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members. Lay persons who are the elected members from their Local Charge Conferences will not be included on this list. This list, with reserves if it exceeds the number of Equalization Lay Members needed as determined by the Conference Secretary, and reserves beyond that number, shall be published and distributed by the Director of Communications with other pre-conference materials, and incorporated by reference into the Conference Secretary’s Organizational Motion so that these nominees to serve as Equalization Lay Members (and Reserve Equalization Lay Members) can be duly nominated and elected as a first order of business of the Annual Conference. (Persons who are beyond the number specified by the Conference Secretary who might otherwise be qualified to serve as Equalization Lay Members shall be eligible to serve as Reserve Equalization Lay Members.) IV.

B.

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

210
consultation with organizations within the District.

It is anticipated that at the laity and the clergy sessions, large screen projections will be used. X. Balloting A. Balloting will be by written or electronic ballot, as determined quadrennially by the Commission on Sessions. Electronic ballots prepared in advance for the election of Lay Delegates will include the names of all of the persons who have submitted “Candidate Information Sheets” in accordance with the procedure described above and will allow for the addition of “write‐in” candidates. Electronic ballots prepared in advance for the election of Clergy Delegates will include the names of all eligible clergy members of Conference, whether or not they have submitted “Candidate Information Sheets.” “Write‐in” candidates on ballots for Clergy Delegates will be permitted only to correct errors of omission on the prepared ballots. B. Prior to the first ballot being cast, the presiding bishop will remind the body of United Methodism’s inclusivity. After balloting has begun, no one will speak, directly or by implication, for or against any candidate for any reason, including, but not limited to, age, giftedness, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, theology, or geography. C. Any person who did not submit the Candidate Information Sheet, by the date specified by the Commission on Sessions, but receives twenty‐five (25) or more ballots cast for her or him on the first ballot, shall be added (manually by lay members on Lay Delegate ballots) to future ballots. He or she may prepare and place on the Conference registration table printed copies of her or his responses to the “Candidate Information Sheet” that was not previously submitted. He or she will be introduced before the second ballot, if present, or as soon as possible. D. After all delegates to the General and Jurisdictional Conferences have been elected, an additional ballot shall be cast. The clergy and the laypersons receiving the highest numbers will be elected as alternates to the N.E.J, according to the numbers needed. E. If the scheduled time for final adjournment is within one hour without the necessary delegates having been elected, a final ballot will be taken and those receiving the highest number of votes will be elected, in order as delegates and alternates according to the numbers needed. F. After the first ballot, any subsequent ballot that contains the name of a person who did not complete and submit the Candidate Information Sheet, by the date specified by the Commission on Sessions, or who did not fulfill “C,” above, will be invalid. G. Any ballot that contains more or fewer names than there are places to be filled on that ballot will be invalid. H. Any ballot that contains the name of a person already elected will be invalid. I. Any ballot that is not marked, in the opinion of the head teller(s), according to the instructions given by the presiding officer or secretary, will be invalid. J. A majority of the valid ballots cast will be required to elect. K. In the event that a larger number of persons than there are places to be filled receive a majority, then the person or persons receiving the highest number of votes will be declared elected to the total number of places to be filled. L. A tie vote between two or more persons, when but one place remains to be filled, will be disregarded and another ballot cast. M. Unless otherwise stipulated above, the sessions’ standing rules otherwise shall apply. XI. Delegation A. The delegation will consist of all elected delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conferences and the elected alternates. B. At a time and place determined by the presiding bishop, the delegation will meet at the site of the Annual Conference. The bishop will offer prayer, will introduce each member of the delegation, and will offer whatever assistance he or she may wish. C. The delegation leader for 2012‐16 will be the first lay person elected. In subsequent quadrennia, the delegation leader will alternate between the first clergy person elected and the first layperson elected. The delegation’s vice‐leader for 2012‐16 will be the first clergy person elected. In subsequent quadrennia, the delegation’s vice‐leader will alternate between the first layperson elected and the first clergy person elected. D. The Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration will provide financial support of at least four delegation meetings during the year prior to the General Conference. Dates will be determined by the delegation and places in concert with that board or agency. E. Agenda of meetings of the delegation shall include worship; fellowship; attending to logistical matters; and expert‐led discussions regarding selected General and Jurisdictional topics. F. The delegation may ask a delegate who misses more than two consecutive, unexcused meetings to withdraw as a member of the delegation. G. The Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration shall provide for at least one laity alternate (next elected) and one clergy alternate (next elected) to attend the General Conference session and the Jurisdictional Conference session.
212
This financial support will be equivalent to what a delegate receives according to General Conference or Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference rules. The on‐site alternates will facilitate the work of the delegation and its members and will be seated as delegates, when appropriate. Attachment A from The Book of Discipline, 2012: “Delegates shall be elected in a fair and open process by the Annual Conferences.” (Constitution, Section II, ¶ 13, Article I, page 26). “The persons first elected up to the number determined by the ratio for representation in the General Conference shall be representatives in that body. Additional delegates shall be elected to complete the number determined by the ratio for representation in the jurisdictional or central conference, which, together with those first elected as above, shall be delegates in the jurisdictional or central conference. The additional delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference shall in the order of their election be the reserve delegates to the General Conference. The Annual Conference shall also elect reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conference as it may deem desirable. These reserve clergy and lay delegates to the jurisdictional or central conferences may act as reserve delegates to the General conference when it is evident that not enough reserve delegates attend the General Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶34, p. 34) “The clergy delegates to the General Conference and to the jurisdictional or central conference shall be elected by and from the ordained ministerial members in full connection with the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶35) See Judicial Council decisions 1, 308, 403, 473, 531, 534, and 875. “The lay delegates to the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences shall be elected by the lay members of the Annual Conference or provisional Annual Conference without regard to age, provided such delegates shall have been professing members of The United Methodist Church for at least two years next preceding their election, and shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years next preceding their election, and are members thereof within the Annual Conference electing them at the time of holding the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences.” (Constitution, Section VI, ¶36) Attachment B Candidate Information Sheet If you wish to offer yourself as candidate for election to the General and Northeastern Jurisdictional Conferences, please submit the information requested below and submit it electronically, per the instructions on the Annual Conference’s website. Requirements for being elected and serving are found in the current edition of The Book of Discipline.

Appendix IV Nomination of Candidates for Election to the Episcopacy In accordance with the Constitution and The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (¶¶46 and 405), the responsibility for electing persons to The United Methodist Council of Bishops and the respective Jurisdictional Colleges of Bishops rests with the Jurisdictional Conferences. The respective Annual Conferences may nominate candidates for election to the episcopacy by their Jurisdictional Conferences. The purpose of this Appendix is to establish a procedure whereby the members of the Upper New York Annual Conference, and the Annual Conference itself, may participate in the process of nominating candidates to the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference. The Book of Discipline (¶405) specifically prohibits the binding of any delegate to vote for any specific candidate seeking election to the episcopacy. During the year preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference, the most recently elected Delegates to the Jurisdictional Conference shall serve as a “nominating committee” for the nomination of candidates to the Annual Conference for nomination by the Annual Conference to the Jurisdictional Conference. The Jurisdictional Delegation shall solicit the membership of the Annual Conference (including the members of the Delegation itself)for recommendations and self-recommendations of persons eligible for election to and service on the episcopacy ¶¶402, 408). The Delegation, guided by The Book of Discipline (¶403) and using procedures of its own design, shall discern the gifts and graces of each and every person so recommended, and shall recommend to the Session of the Annual Conference immediately preceding the convening of the Jurisdictional Conference the nomination of persons discerned by the Delegation to have the gifts and graces for episcopal service. The Annual Conference may nominate none, any, and all of these persons recommended by the Delegation. The Annual Conference can also consider persons nominated directly from the floor. Candidacy is not limited to clergy members of The Upper New York Annual Conference; any person meeting disciplinary requirements (¶¶402 and 408.1) may be recommended. As a part of the solicitation for recommendations from the membership of the Annual Conference, the Delegation will specify the nature of the materials to be included in the recommendation. These shall include contact information, academic preparation, pastoral appointments, a listing of past and present church responsibilities (both denominational and ecumenical), and reasons for the recommendation. There shall also be included a brief statement (less than 200 words) as to why the person being recommended feels that he/ she will, in his/her own words, bring the kind of episcopal leadership that The Church needs at this point in time. The Delegation shall share candidate recommendations for persons nominated by the Delegation through online materials on our website. Persons nominated on the floor may distribute comparable materials when their names are submitted.
Appendix V Procedure for the Nomination of Candidates to be Elected to Certain General and Jurisdictional Agencies of The United Methodist Church by the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference (¶705) One of the functions of the quadrennial Jurisdictional Conference is the election of persons to serve on specific agencies of the General Church for the coming quadrennium. Nominations for these positions are made by the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee to the Jurisdictional Conference based upon a “pool” of nominees (including both clergy and laity) approved by each of the respective Annual Conferences within the Jurisdictional Conference. It is the responsibility of the Bishop and the Jurisdictional Delegation to present the pool of candidates for endorsement by the Annual Conference session immediately preceding the meeting of the Jurisdictional Conference. The following procedure is to be used in guiding this process. 1.
All members of the General Conference Delegation are to be included in the pool
2.
At least fifteen and not more than forty-five additional persons are to be included in the pool a.
Persons presently serving on a general agency and wishing to continue serving on the same or a different agency may be included in the pool. The electability of these persons by Jurisdictional Conference will be subject to a variety of term limits. b. Members of the Jurisdictional Delegation (including Reserves) not elected to the General Conference may be included as additional members of the pool. c. The total pool should include between one and five persons in of each of the following categories: clergy (including at least one clergywoman), laywomen, laymen, youth (ages 12-16) young adults (ages 17-28) older adults (over 65), and persons with disabilities. Each name presented to the Jurisdictional Nominating Committee should include an indication of all appropriate categories.
214
d. 3.
If possible the total pool should include at least two persons from each of the following recognized ethnic groups: Asian American, African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Pacific Islander.
Effective in 2016, forms for nomination and/or self-nomination to the pool will be distributed electronically with Conference pre-registration forms and available in hard copy at pre-conference briefings and District Conferences. They must be turned in at the registration table at Annual Conference. A completed nomination form will include name and other contact information; category (item 2c above), ethnicity if appropriate (item 2d above); three preferences as to the agencies on which the applicant would like to serve, together with reasons for volunteering for such service; a listing of past services to their District, the Annual Conference, the Jurisdictional Conference, the General Church, and/or ecumenical agencies; and a list of church memberships or pastoral appointments.

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES
III. Clergy Housing Policy
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
In the United Methodist Church, housing is provided to clergy. While the parsonage remains the normative provision of housing, some parishes prefer to offer, and some clergy prefer to receive, a housing allowance instead. The complexities of contemporary economics, local church resources and pastoral households make it less likely that a “one size fits all” housing provision best meets the needs of every situation. Local churches and clergy both need to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages, especially if considering a change from one to the other. A. Values and Considerations 2
The Upper New York Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church believes that both congregations and clergy benefit when clergy and their families live in residences which are safe, clean, comfortable, and as commodious as the average home in their community. It is required that clergy housing meet all applicable local and state residential codes. As faithful stewards of the earth and other limited resources, congregations and clergy are encouraged to make clergy housing as energy efficient as possible. Local churches may prefer to provide a housing allowance for a variety of reasons: less property to maintain and repair, more predictable budget implications, and no “landlord” issues with their pastor. Likewise, clergy households may prefer a housing allowance for 217 allowance for differing clergy household other reasons, such as: accumulation of equity,
stewards of the earth and other limited resources, congregations and clergy are encouraged to make clergy housing as energy efficient as possible. Local churches may prefer to provide a housing allowance for a variety of reasons: less property to maintain and repair, more predictable budget implications, and no “landlord” issues with their pastor. Likewise, clergy households may prefer a housing allowance for other reasons, such as: accumulation of equity, allowance for differing clergy household needs, ability to locate in a desired location, freedom to renovate and refurbish as desired, and no “tenant” relationship with parishioners. However, it is also to be acknowledged that tension may exist between the appointive/itinerant system of clergy deployment and the housing allowance system. Pastoral appointments are made on an annual basis at the will of the bishop. The financial advantage to long-term clergy home ownership may be at odds with a short-term need or desire for a pastoral transition. It must be understood by all that the provision of a housing allowance or parsonage shall not be a primary consideration by the bishop and cabinet for future appointments for the pastor. Further, a local church that has a parsonage available to the pastor is under no obligation to provide a housing allowance if that pastor prefers to live in a different location. B. Parsonages 1. Relationships and Responsibility The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the pastor’s family as the property of the church and by theCLERGY church as a place ofPOLICIES privacy for the pastor’s family. (Book of SUPPORT Discipline of the UMC, par. 258.2.g.16)
3
The chairperson of the Staff-Parish Relations Committee, the chairperson of the Board of Trustees or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee, if one exists, and the pastor shall make an annual inspection and review of the church-owned parsonage to assure proper maintenance. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, paragraph 258.2.g.16, and paragraph 2532.4) The church shall provide a parsonage which addresses the values noted above and the standards listed below. Standard maintenance and repairs, and renovation of the parsonage are the responsibility of the church. The Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall arrange, supervise, and arrange payment for such tasks. Necessary work shall be scheduled in consultation with the pastor. The church and the pastor shall work together to develop a process to assure timely, good quality repairs and maintenance. • • • • • •
• •
Parsonages with a wood burning heat source must have a professional chimney inspection (and cleaning if necessary) at least every 2 years. The pastor shall furnish the house to suit his or her needs. The pastor is responsible for notifying the church about necessary repairs as the need arises. The pastor is responsible for the repair of damages exceeding normal wear and tear. The church, in consultation with the pastor, is responsible for lawn care and snow removal. The church shall pay for insurance, heat, electricity, garbage and trash removal, water and sewer, basic telephone service (landline or cell), and installation fees for cable or satellite television service if broadcast reception is inadequate. Churches that expect pastors to have access to the internet away from the church should pay for internet access at the parsonage. The pastor shall pay for personal toll calls and communication services beyond those provided by the church.
218than one local congregation, all congregations If a pastor is appointed to serve more shall share equitably, the costs and other responsibilities of providing a parsonage.
•
The pastor shall pay for personal toll calls and communication services beyond those provided by the church.
If a pastor is appointed to serve more than one local congregation, all congregations shall share equitably, the costs and other responsibilities of providing a parsonage. If more than one congregation has a parsonage, the parsonage of residence shall be determined by the District Superintendent in consultation with the appointed pastor and the congregations. If a parsonage is occupied by a clergy couple serving different appointments, all congregations served shall share equitably and reasonably the costs and responsibilities of providing a parsonage. The parsonage of residence and shared cost responsibilities shall be determined by thePOLICIES District Superintendent in consultation CLERGY SUPPORT with the appointed pastors and affected congregations.
4
Adherence to this policy by both clergy and congregation is essential to the appointment covenant. Failure to adhere to this policy by either clergy or congregation may jeopardize current and future appointments. 2. Parsonage Standards Parsonages shall have at least 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry facilities, appropriate storage capacity, and provision for 2 parking spaces. All shall be in good repair and meet all applicable local and state health and safety codes. The parsonage shall be at least the size of the average home in its community. The church is responsible for providing a furnished office or study for the pastor. While it is preferable to locate this office in the church or another church building, if necessary, it may be a separate, additional room in the parsonage. If the Pastor’s primary office is located in the parsonage, it must have its own, separate, outside entrance and unencumbered windows, in accordance with Safe Sanctuary policies. 3. Rooms and Spaces a. Bedrooms should be large enough to contain a bed, adequate storage for clothing (dresser and closet, or dresser and wardrobe), and a desk and chair or a reading area. It is preferable to have at least one fully accessible bedroom on the ground floor of the house. b. Bathroom facilities shall include: a toilet and sink on each floor, a tub, a shower, a medicine cabinet, and storage space for linens and supplies in or near the main bathroom. It is preferable to have at least 2 complete bathrooms including a fully accessible, complete bathroom on the ground floor. c. The kitchen shall contain at least: a standard-size stove and oven, a refrigerator with freezer, a dishwasher, built-in cabinets or pantry, a fullsize sink, adequate counter space, and wall and floor finishes which can be kept clean. d. Living and dining rooms should be large enough to accommodate 4-6 residents plus guests. A combined living and dining room is acceptable if large enough to fully accommodate both functions. e. Laundry facilities shall be accessible from the interior of the house and include: an automatic washer and dryer, and storage for supplies. It is preferable to be able to conceal the laundry area and even better to have a
219
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES separate laundry room with a sink and space to sort and fold. It is preferable to have these facilities fully accessible and on the ground floor. f. Parking shall be off-street, preferably in a garage located on the parsonage property. 4. Systems a. Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling - The parsonage shall be equipped with central heating capable of maintaining a temperature of 68 degrees in all rooms. Windows shall be in good repair and operable to provide adequate ventilation. Full bathrooms should have adequate ventilation to prevent excessive moisture build-up. Adequate passive or mechanical air cooling should be provided. b. Electrical System - Wiring, outlets, and fixtures should be safe and adequate to meet the lighting and technology needs of a modern household. c. Water - Hot and cold, potable, running water shall be available in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area in amounts suitable to the needs of a family. In areas with hard water, water softeners shall be installed and maintained. Leaks of any kind are not acceptable. d. Safety, Security, and Environment - Parsonages shall be equipped with properly maintained CO detectors and smoke alarms, and have fire extinguishers in kitchen, furnace room, near fireplaces, pellet stoves or wood stoves, and near bedrooms. Radon testing shall be done periodically, and remedial measures taken if necessary. Visible mold and moldy odors shall not be present. The presence of any health threat shall be remediated including, but not limited to: lead and uncontained asbestos. Where necessary for the safety of children and/or vulnerable adults, yards and outside spaces shall be adequately enclosed. Entrance lights shall have switches by the door, be motion activated, and/or be operable remotely. All parsonages shall be equipped with secure locks/deadbolts.

designed and maintained to be functional for the family, and to be a pleasant addition to the community. 5. Waivers and Exceptions If the minimum standards described above cannot be met because of the age or historic character of the house, the charge must propose alternatives which afford an equivalent quality of life to that set by these standards. Any such changes must be approved by the District Superintendent. It is understood that such changes will not compromise the safety provisions of these standards, the overall functionality of the parsonage, or the mandate that it be kept in good repair. It should be noted that the accessibility preferences described above are mandated when purchasing or building a new parsonage. (Book of Discipline of the UMC, par. 2543.3b) 6. Transition Protocols Prior to a pastor’s move, but no more than every 5 years, a certified building inspector shall inspect the parsonage so that the congregation can plan necessary maintenance and repairs. If a pastor is moving and the parsonage has had a professional inspection within the past 5 years, this pre-move inspection may be performed by the outgoing pastor, the chairperson of the SPRC, and the chairperson of the Board of Trustees and/or the chairperson of the Parsonage Committee or their designates. The outgoing pastor shall leave the parsonage clean and in good order. As soon as possible after a change in appointment is announced, the Trustees or Parsonage Committee shall inspect the parsonage for maintenance needs and damage caused by the outgoing residents, including damage caused by pets. [It is recommended that a signed Parsonage Inspection Form and a Parsonage Transition Form be filed with the District Office and a copy of the inspection provided to the incoming pastor.] If excessive damage is discovered, it will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor to pay for repairs of or replace the damaged item(s). When the pastor or family has CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES allowed smoking within the parsonage, the cost of professional cleaning, and purchase of an air purifier, if necessary, to remove smoke odor will be the responsibility of the outgoing pastor.
7
The charge shall refurbish, repair and thoroughly clean the parsonage prior to a new pastor moving in. Damaged walls, ceilings, floors, windows, fixtures, and appliances shall be repaired or replaced. Painted surfaces shall be cleaned or repainted. Carpets shall be thoroughly steam cleaned or replaced; replacement is required if the carpet is torn, excessively worn, or permanently stained. Windows shall be cleaned inside and out. In the event that such work requires that the incoming pastor must make temporary living arrangements, related expenses will be paid by the receiving church. It is recommended that a photographic record of house and yard, including each room’s condition and contents, be created and filed for reference and planning purposes. 7. Treatment of Parsonage Value in Compensation Packages Wespath provides the following guidance: When a parsonage is provided, it will be valued at 25% of salary for benefit computation purposes. In a multi-church appointment, this factor is added to salary for all churches served by the pastor, regardless of which church owns the parsonage in which the clergy person lives. a. If a clergy couple is serving separate churches and each church/charge has a parsonage available, each clergyperson’s entire compensation will include a parsonage value equal of 25% of salary regardless of where the clergy couple lives. [Note: only the fair rental 221 value of the occupied parsonage is reported by the clergy couple as part of self-employment income]

If a clergy couple is serving separate churches and each church/charge has a parsonage available, each clergyperson’s entire compensation will include a parsonage value equal of 25% of salary regardless of where the clergy couple lives. [Note: only the fair rental value of the occupied parsonage is reported by the clergy couple as part of self-employment income] b. However, if a clergy couple is serving separate churches, and is living in a parsonage provided by one of the churches, with no parsonage offered or available from the other church, only the clergyperson serving the church which provides the parsonage will have the parsonage value added to salary. C. Housing Allowance All full-time clergy appointed to a full-time charge, or a Conference-responsible extension ministry shall be provided either a parsonage or a housing allowance. In the event that an appointment has already moved to providing a housing allowance for their pastor and a parsonage is no longer available the charge will negotiate an appropriate housing allowance with the incoming pastor. A housing allowance enjoyed by a pastor appointed to charge “A” will not necessarily translate into a housing allowance for that same pastor when s/he is appointed to charge “B.”
CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES
Housing allowances shall exist in accordance with the following policy or successive policies as determined by future sessions of the Annual Conference:
8
1. The housing allowance policy will be in effect from the time the charge moves from providing a physical parsonage to a housing allowance for the current pastor or an incoming pastor. Once the charge makes the transition to providing a housing allowance, that charge shall not be required to return to providing a physical parsonage. In the event that the charge wishes to do so, see item #4 below. 2. Charges that elect to provide a housing allowance shall do so at a charge/church conference chaired by the District Superintendent after and only after following the steps outlined in item #3 below. 3. A housing allowance agreement shall be drawn up by the local charge (the Staff/Parish Relations Committee and the Board of Trustees, in consultation with the District Superintendent, should be involved in this process as a joint effort). The agreement shall include the following: a. For the purchase of a home (house, condo, etc.) by the pastor: i.
Costs associated with a typical annual mortgage, based upon a 20% down payment and 30-year mortgage, for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards, to cover at minimum: monthly principal and interest costs and mortgage insurance.
ii.
Costs associated with utility expenses (heat, light, phone, basic cable, internet service if not provided in a separate church office), property taxes for a home that meets the size requirements of the Conference Parsonage Standards. This information will be provided by a reputable realtor or rental agent so a dollar range for housing may be set for the incoming pastor as s/he considers the appointment and seeks housing.
iii.
The housing allowance will be at minimum the sum of 222 items i and ii above.

Purchase price of home = $140,000; 20% down - $28,000; 30 year mortgage of $112,000 @ 4.75% is $585 x 12 = $7,020 annually property and school taxes of $4,000 homeowners insurance of $600 ii. Average monthly utility expenses of gas, electric, and bundled phone/internet/tv = $345 x 12 = $4,140 CLERGYhousing SUPPORT POLICIES Minimum allowance in this example is $15,760 9
iv.
Charges providing a housing allowance may assist the pastor in obtaining a loan or provide a grant for down payment if needed. Any such agreement for down payment shall become a part of the housing allowance agreement.
v.
The housing allowance agreement shall be signed by the pastor, the chair of Trustees, and the chair of S/PPRC.
b. For the rental of a home (house, apartment, condo, etc.) by the pastor: The housing allowance shall be determined in accordance with item a. sub items i. through v. above. It should be noted that housing (either as an allowance or in physical form) shall be provided in accordance with parsonage standards. In the event that the appointed clergyperson chooses to spend less in a rental circumstance s/he shall be afforded the opportunity to save and invest the difference for the eventuality of providing housing for herself or himself in retirement. This provision provides for the near equivalent opportunity for the pastor to accumulate something akin to equity over the life of the housing allowance. By the same token, should the clergyperson choose to rent a home costlier than a home that meets the parsonage standards, the charge shall not be responsible for the additional costs associated with that choice. c. A charge may use the annual income and capital gain from the sale of a parsonage over the rate of inflation to help support the housing allowance. d. All current IRS regulations shall be met for both recording and reporting purposes. 4. A charge shall not be required to establish a parsonage after changing to a housing allowance. However, if a charge chooses to return to providing a parsonage, it shall do so only after: a. A full and frank discussion with the clergyperson, the S/PPRC, and the local Board of Trustees. b. An agreement dissolving the housing allowance agreement has been signed by the pastor, the chair of S/PPRC and the chair of the Board of Trustees. c. A proposal for the purchase of a new parsonage has been completed in full accordance with the United Methodist Book of Discipline. d. The proposed parsonage is in full compliance with current Conference Parsonage Standards.

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES D. Housing Exclusion Pastors may utilize the favorable tax advantages of a housing exclusion, which does not increase the compensation package but does lower the pastor’s federal income tax liability. 1. A Housing Allowance is money paid to the pastor for the purpose of housing in addition to base salary. A Housing Exclusion is the amount of a pastor’s base salary that he/she declares to be excluded from taxable income as housing related expenses. Housing is exempt from Federal Income taxes but is NOT exempt from self-employment tax. 2. A pastor living in a parsonage may have a Housing Exclusion; a pastor living in his/her own home may take advantage of a Housing Exclusion in addition to the Housing Allowance. This can be accomplished by passing a resolution designating an amount greater than the housing allowance listed on the compensation package. a. Section 107 of the IRC provides that: “In the case of a minister of the gospel, gross income does not include: 1) the rental value of a home furnished as part of compensation; or 2) the rental allowance paid as part of compensation, to the extent used to rent or provide a home and to the extent such allowance does not exceed the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities.” i. A “minister of the gospel” is defined as any duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed minister of the church, who is performing substantially all of the religious duties of his/her church or denomination. The “fair rental value” is the annual amount for which a similar furnished home in a similar neighborhood could be rented, including utilities. This can be determined by formal or informal appraisal by a realtor, or by comparing actual rents advertised for similar homes in the community. 3.
Below are some further guidelines regarding a Housing Exclusion: a. The housing exclusion must be put in place by official church action before payment is made to the pastor-at the start of a new appointment or calendar year. b. The housing exclusion recognized for tax purposes is limited to the lesser of: i. The amount declared by the church. SUPPORT POLICIES ii. The actualCLERGY amount spent to provide housing. iii. The fair rental value as described above. c. The housing exclusion may be paid in the same check as the pastor’s salary as long as it is identified on the stub accordingly. It may also be paid separately.
11
d. Housing exclusion is not reported as part of gross income on the W-2. e. It is the pastor’s responsibility to account for the actual amount spent on housing expenses to the IRS (not the church) if requested. f.
If the total expenses are less than the allowance paid, the pastor must declare the excess as an addition to gross income.

Housing Expenses such as: down payment on a home, mortgage payments, home equity loan payments (if they are for home related expenses), real estate taxes, property/renters’ insurance, utilities. b. Repairs and Maintenance: Structural repairs, remodeling, yard maintenance and improvements, lawn equipment and repairs, pest control, trash pickup, snow removal, tools, cleaning supplies c.

IV. Accountable Reimbursement Plans
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
A. Policies and Budgeted Amounts 1. All pastors appointed within the Upper New York Annual Conference are eligible for an Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) for professional expenses incurred while performing pastoral duties. 2. A minimum annual Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) budget for a full-time pastor shall be $4,250 for a single church appointment and $5,250 for a multi- church appointment. 3. Within the Accountable Reimbursement Plan there shall be a designated amount for the pastor’s continuing education. If the amount is not fully used in the current fiscal year, a pastor may request to roll over the remainder of the ARP Continuing Education amount with an SPRC approved plan for the use of the funds. 1. This plan and specific amount is to be reported to the local church/charge 225 conference at year’s end. No more than three successive years of funding or
2. A minimum annual Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) budget for a full-time pastor shall be $4,250 for a single church appointment and $5,250 for a multi- church appointment. 3. Within the Accountable Reimbursement Plan there shall be a designated amount for the pastor’s continuing education. If the amount is not fully used in the current fiscal year, a pastor may request to roll over the remainder of the ARP Continuing Education amount with an SPRC approved plan for the use of the funds. 1. This plan and specific amount is to be reported to the local church/charge conference at year’s end. No more than three successive years of funding or $2,000 (whichever is less) can be rolled over in this manner. This maximum dollar amount should relate to full-time clergy. The amount for part-time clergy shall be prorated. 2. In the event of a pastoral change the roll over amount will be a part of the appointment conversation among the pastor, the churches, and District Superintendent(s) involved. 4. Pastoral appointments of ¾ time, ½ time or ¼ time shall budget and pay an ARP proportionally to this standard for full-time appointments. 5. Congregations are encouraged to budget ARP above the required minimum in consideration of location-specific mileage needs and other factors. B. Accountable Reimbursement Plan Procedures An Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) arrangement is established to reimburse business expenses and should satisfy three conditions:
13
1. The expense must have a connection to services performed for the church or other CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES connected entity. 2. There must be an adequate accounting of the expense within a reasonable period of time, i.e. date, place, amount/mileage, business purpose provided at least quarterly. 3. Any excess reimbursements or advances to the pastor must be returned to the church within a reasonable period of time, i.e. 120 days, and within 30 days for end of the year expenses. Reimbursements are not considered to be income for the pastor, but professional costs as an expense of the church. Therefore, ARP reimbursement is not included in income reporting to the IRS. The amount budgeted is reported to the Conference as a component of the compensation package but is not considered part of salary. A pastor’s salary may not be reduced to fund the Accountable Reimbursement Plan. To implement an ARP, there needs to be a written policy or resolution established annually in advance of payment and approved at Church/Charge Conference. Payment of funds may be done • as a reimbursement of qualified expense, • as payment direct to vendor, or • as an advance with subsequent documentation of expenses; or any combination of these methods. Pastors shall submit a voucher for reimbursement of professional expenses, providing receipts for expenditures and an accounting of mileage where applicable. The specific nature or names related to pastoral visitations shall not be disclosed. The church, in consultation with the pastor, may wish to designate certain items which it elects to have covered by this policy, such as travel, continuing education, books, subscriptions, work supplies, vestments, etc. There may be a cap or dollar amount on the total reimbursable business expenses that will be paid, for example: "The reimbursement amount shall be no more than ." The church may also want to require preapprovals by the treasurer or SPR/PPR chair of business expenses in excess of $ 500 (or any other amount deemed appropriate). The church may want to set a dollar amount for which receipts must be submitted such as purchases over $25.00. These additional requirements 226 should be included in the policy.

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

CLERGY SUPPORT POLICIES V. Benefits
(Conf. Bd. Of Pension & Health Benefits)
A. Pension 1. Clergy All licensed, commissioned, or ordained pastors under appointment to a United Methodist Church 75% or more are eligible to participate in the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP). All licensed, commissioned, or ordained pastors under appointment to a United Methodist Church at 50% are eligible to participate in the United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) with the church making contributions. The eligible clergyperson will be enrolled unless a Waiver of Participation, notarized and filed on the prescribed form, is received in the Benefits Office. The charge shall pay the monthly CRSP or UMPIP Invoice as applicable. Clergy on Incapacity Leave and Sabbatical Leave continue to accrue credit toward the Defined Benefit component of CRSP, paid by the Annual Conference. Clergy on other forms of leave, appointed to attend school, or appointed to an extension ministry outside the responsibility of the Annual Conference do not accrue “years of service” toward this benefit. 2.
Lay Employees The Book of Discipline, Para. 258.2g (12) states that the PPRC shall recommend 100% vested pension benefits of at least 3% of compensation for lay employees who work at least 1040 hours per year. The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) is available to local churches for this purpose, or they may utilize other options.
B. Death and Disability The Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) provides death, long-term disability, and other survivor benefits to eligible clergy. All full-time clergy plus elders, associate or provisional members serving 75% appointed to a United Methodist Church are enrolled. A clergyperson’s District Superintendent must be notified when applying for long term disability benefits and/or seeking Medical Leave status. Until and unless Medical Leave status is granted, the church to which the clergyperson is appointed remains responsible for salary and benefit costs for the pastor. 1. Short Term Disability-Workers Comp-Paid Family Leave The Conference carries statutory coverage for short term disability, workers compensation and paid family leave on all clergy appointed to local churches as well as lay employees of the church through the multi-peril insurance program. Premiums for this benefit are included in the church insurance invoice. 16
Unless in retired status, while on short term leave, the church remains responsible for all salary and benefit costs associated with the pastor. If a pastor is serving in retired status and becomes disabled, salary and benefit costs will be negotiated by the District Superintendent.
C. Health Insurance 1. Active Clergy All full-time clergy appointed to a local church or as Conference staff are eligible for health insurance and eligible228 to enroll in the Conference-sponsored health insurance plan. Regardless of enrollment, all charges that have a full-time pastor
for all salary and benefit costs associated with the pastor. If a pastor is serving in retired status and becomes disabled, salary and benefit costs will be negotiated by the District Superintendent. C. Health Insurance 1. Active Clergy All full-time clergy appointed to a local church or as Conference staff are eligible for health insurance and eligible to enroll in the Conference-sponsored health insurance plan. Regardless of enrollment, all charges that have a full-time pastor will be billed the blended rate premium. This premium may be split between churches served by the full-time pastor. Clergy enrolled and receiving a benefit are required to pay a Pastor’s Personal HealthFlex Contribution of any election amounts over and above the premium credit in 2025. The amount of the Pastor’s Personal HealthFlex Contribution is controlled by the pastor’s elections in the HealthFlex Exchange. Clergy are encouraged to elect a pre-tax medical account (HSA and/or FSA) to be deducted from their salary. Medical accounts are administered through Health Equity. Churches with clergy serving less than full-time should include in their salary support packages a “health insurance allowance” in an amount that relates to the blended rate to enable the clergyperson to obtain health insurance or fund a Health Savings Account. This amount must be added to taxable salary. Clergy and/or spouses over age 65, and enrolled in the conference Medicare supplemental plan, have to pay for Medicare Part B out of pocket. 2. Lay Employees Full-time lay employees are also eligible to enroll in the health insurance program. The premium billed is based on coverage level, i.e. single, two person or family and the elections chosen in the HealthFlex Exchange. The HealthFlex Plan options, and medical accounts, are the same as for a clergyperson. 3. Retired Clergy and Surviving Spouses
17
The Upper New York Conference continues to support part of the cost of providing health insurance to retired clergy through the use of invested funds. The remaining financial support for the cost of retiree health care is billed to all of the local churches in the conference on a proportional basis.

VI. Other Considerations
(Conf. Bd. Of Pension & Health Benefits)
Pastors are strongly encouraged to participate in the Social Security system. Wespath and the Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits have structured retirement, disability, and health benefit programs around the Social Security system. No grants will be provided by the conference to persons who have opted out of Social Security for the purpose of supplementing income or health benefits.
VII. Paid Time Off Policy
(Comm. On Equitable Compensation)
A. All clergy are eligible for two days off per week for personal time, family time and spiritual renewal; one of which would be a Sabbath day. B. Full-time Clergy are eligible for 4 weeks of vacation each year with 5 weeks for those with more than 20 years of full-time equivalent service. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of vacation. C. As per ¶ 350.1 & 350.2, full-time clergy shall have at least 1 week per year of Continuing Education/Spiritual Growth Leave with the Conference providing up to one more additional week for a total of up to 2 weeks. Furthermore, once every quadrennial period (every four years) there should be one year where an additional month of Continuing Education/Spiritual Growth is undertaken. D. Full-time pastors are encouraged to give231 a week annually to a Conference camping ministry.
period (every four years) there should be one year where an additional month of Continuing Education/Spiritual Growth is undertaken. D. Full-time pastors are encouraged to give a week annually to a Conference camping ministry. E. There will be no prescribed sick leave for clergy. Short and long-term disability, and paid family leave, will be provided as needed. F. Vacation and paid time off for part-time clergy is to be individually negotiated in consultation with the SPRC, pastor and District Superintendent, at the initial appointment and subsequently as needed. G. Associate, provisional, or members in full connection may request family leave through the Board of Ordained Ministry per ¶354. H. Maternity or Paternity leave, not to exceed one fourth of a year, will be available and shall be granted to any local pastor, provisional member, associate member, or clergy member in full connection who so requests it per ¶356. VIII. CLERGY MOVING POLICY
(UNY Cabinet)
Clergy 20 Appointment Moves: If a clergy appointment move (of any distance) is paid for by the Conference, a 1099-MISC reflecting the actual cost of the move will be sent to you at year end. Under the federal tax law, the cost of a move paid on your behalf is taxable income which must be reported. The expense is non-deductible. ** Please remember Wespath no longer recognizes moving costs as compensation in relation to benefits, and churches will no longer receive one time inceases to CPP or CRSP related to these costs. INTRODUCTION The Conference Moving Coordinator and Regional Moving Coordinators will be responsible for scheduling moves and securing professional movers to relocate pastors when an appointment change is made for full-time appointments, less than full time appointments where the pastor will live in a parsonage, or pastors retiring from a local church. These Moving Coordinators will function under the guidance of the Commission on Equitable Compensation. "Self-Moves" are not encouraged. However, in special circumstances, after consultation with the Pastor, S/PPRC, and District Superintendent(s), the pastor may elect to move via truck rental. Self-Move arrangements must be coordinated through the appropriate Moving Coordinator. FINANCING THE MOVE With the exception of retirement moves, covered later in this document, funding for this program will be accomplished through a cost-sharing arrangement between the Conference and the local church/charge receiving a new appointment. This arrangement will cap the total moving expenses incurred by a receiving local church/charge at $2250. It will also allow this expense to be spread out over the course of five years through a conference-managed accrual system. Further, because the total number of contributing local churches/charges in a given year is greater than the number of local churches/charges receiving a new appointment, the program is intended to be self-sustaining (see Table #1).

Program specifics: 21 H. Every year for five (5) consecutive years each local church/charge will remit $450 to the Conference Treasurer to be held in escrow in a moving account to cover the local church/charge's portion of the moving expense. This process will restart after a new appointment. I. Once a local church/charge has accrued a total of $2250 in this account, its moving account will be considered paid in full. When a new appointment is made, the incoming pastor's moving expenses will be covered by the funds in the receiving local church/charge moving account along with any needed additional funds supplied by the Conference. J. In the event a local church/charge experiences a change of appointment prior to having accrued $2250 in its conference-held moving account, the move will still be funded under this program. In this case the amount accrued in the receiving local church/charge moving account will be expended and the receiving local church/charge will then be expected to remit $450/year beginning in the calendar year following the move, until the $2250 moving account total has been reached. For a professional move within the Conference boundaries, the Mover engaged by the Conference will submit an invoice directly to the Benefits Administrator for payment by the Conference Treasurer. The Conference Treasurer will pay the Mover's total fee. If any additional or special charges are involved, the Conference Treasurer will request payment from the pastor to the Conference. For a self-move, the pastor must pay the bill up-front and then submit receipts to the Benefits Administrator for reimbursement by the Conference Treasurer. NOTE: Federal law requires that all moving expenses paid by the Conference for or to a pastor are considered compensation. The amount paid will be reported to the pastor and the Internal Revenue Service at the end of the tax year in which the payment is made. NOTE: If a local church does not pay into the moving fund or is behind in payments, and they receive a new pastor, the FULL COST of the move will be the responsibility of the local church unless the moving fund balance is paid in full. PASTORAL MOVES A.

Clergy Moves: The Conference will pay the full cost of a pastor's move up to 16,000 pounds. The pastor(s) will be responsible for the cost of moving weight that exceeds those limits. The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. The pastor is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e. mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.). B. Clergy Couples: The Conference will pay the full cost up to 20,000 pounds and provide $350 for boxes and packing materials. C. Seminarians and Local Pastors entering their first appointment: The provisions in #1 apply, even if the seminarian is moving from outside the conference. D. Pastors moving from outside the geographical boundaries of the Conference: The Conference 22 will pay for up to $4,500 or 16,000 pounds, whichever is less. The pastor will be responsible for charges in excess of these amounts. E. The Moving Coordinator must be notified in advance (two weeks minimum) of the need to change a scheduled moving date. If a move is cancelled, in absence of a crisis, the pastor (not the church) will be responsible for any cancellation fees incurred from the moving company. F. Pastors returning from Sabbatical Leave, Leave of Absence, Retirement, Extension Ministries, Medical Leave, or Honorable Location: The Cabinet will be empowered to negotiate the amount of reimbursement for the cost of the move. G. Surviving Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $4,500 for billed expenses for moving surviving spouses and/or immediate families when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator. H. Displaced Spouses: The Conference will pay up to $3,000 for billed expenses for moving spouses and immediate families displaced due to divorce or other legal action when requiring them to vacate a parsonage. Each situation must involve consultation with the affected spouse and immediate family, the Cabinet, and the appropriate Moving Coordinator. I. Moving out of the Conference: The Conference will not be responsible for the cost of moving an active pastor to an appointment or ministry outside the geographic bounds of the Conference.
III. RETIREMENT MOVES
(Conf. Bd. of Pension & Health Benefits)
A. The Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits will share the cost for one retirement move for clergy members – full-time or part-time -- who are retiring from a local church appointment or conference staff appointment. The retirement move shall occur one year prior to retirement or up to two years after retirement. Any variation from the schedule must be recommended by the District Superintendent and approved by the Conference Board. For each full-time equivalent (FTE) year of service in The United Methodist Church, the following amount will be paid toward the retirement move: $100.00 per FTE year of service up to $3,000 B. The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor.
234
III. RETIREMENT MOVES
(Conf. Bd. of Pension & Health Benefits)
A. The Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits will share the cost for one retirement move for clergy members – full-time or part-time -- who are retiring from a local church appointment or conference staff appointment. The retirement move shall occur one year prior to retirement or up to two years after retirement. Any variation from the schedule must be recommended by the District Superintendent and approved by the Conference Board. For each full-time equivalent (FTE) year of service in The United Methodist Church, the following amount will be paid toward the retirement move: $100.00 per FTE year of service up to $3,000 B. The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. Effective January 1, 2021, all retiree moves within the bounds of the annual conference shall use the moving coordinator or not be reimbursed. Any retiree choosing to move outside the bounds of the 23 annual conference are required to make their own arrangements, vacate the parsonage by June15th of that year and will need to submit receipts for reimbursement. Moves outside the annual conference will only be reimbursed with a receipt from an insured and/or incorporated moving company. C. The retiree is responsible for packing, except for those items the carrier is required to pack under insurance regulations (i.e. mirrors, mattresses, marble tops, etc.). The Conference will provide $250 for boxes and packing materials which may be provided by the mover or purchased by the pastor. D. If the move costs less than the eligible grant amount, the balance is not payable to the retiree. E. For any funds paid by the Conference for a retirement move (of any distance), a 1099-MISC reflecting the amount paid by the conference will be sent to you at year end. Under tax law, the cost of a move paid on your behalf is taxable income which must be reported, and the expense is non–deductible.
XI. Pastor’s Compensation Arrearage Policy
(Comm. on Equitable Compensation)
A. In the event that the local church treasurer becomes aware that the church will be unable to provide to the pastor full payment of a regularly scheduled payroll, accountable reimbursements or housing allowance installment, or to remit full payment for any items deducted or withheld from a pastor’s base compensation, the church treasurer shall immediately notify both verbally (within 24 hours) and in writing (within 3 days) the pastor, the lay leader, the lay member of annual conference and the chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees and the administrative/church council of the impending arrearage. Upon receipt of such notice, the chair of S/PPRC and/or the pastor shall immediately (within three days) notify the district superintendent of the impending arrearage. It is the pastor's responsibility to keep copies of all such written notifications, and to provide additional written confirmation to the district superintendent when an arrearage has taken place. Failure to document salary-related arrearages may result in a loss of compensation. B. Upon receipt of notice of a pending arrearage, the chair of S/PPRC shall immediately (within 72 hours) schedule and hold a meeting 235 of the pastor, lay leader and chairs of finance, trustees and the administrative/church council to discuss the financial
to the district superintendent when an arrearage has taken place. Failure to document salary-related arrearages may result in a loss of compensation.
24
B. Upon receipt of notice of a pending arrearage, the chair of S/PPRC shall immediately (within 72 hours) schedule and hold a meeting of the pastor, lay leader and chairs of finance, trustees and the administrative/church council to discuss the financial situation and seek remedies to prevent an arrearage from occurring. Such remedies might include: • Drawing from invested funds • An emergency appeal for special giving from the congregation. According to the Book of Discipline Para. 624, such remedies cannot include a reduction in the pastor’s compensation until the beginning of the next conference year. C. If, after consultation among the lay leader, pastor, and chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees and the administrative/church council, it becomes apparent that the church may be facing a long-term financial crisis, the chair of S/PPRC shall notify in writing the pastor and district superintendent that: • An Equitable Compensation Subsidy Grant may be necessary to maintain compensation for the remainder of the conference year and/or, • A change in pastoral compensation or appointment may be necessary. D. If the local church becomes delinquent in the pastor’s compensation (i.e. more than 30 days delinquent), then the district superintendent shall notify the Commission on Equitable Compensation, which on its own initiative may do any or all of the following, but not limited to: • Sending a representative from CEC to meet with the local church and pastor to seek resolution of the issue; • Developing with the local church a payment plan so that the pastor receives full payment of compensation by the end of the conference year. The district superintendent shall be a participant in this process. E. If the local church is already receiving a subsidy grant from the CEC, the CEC may also: • Determine if all subsidy grant funds allocated to the church were used to pay the pastor's salary. • Examine the original subsidy grant application to determine if the amount requested to meet minimum compensation was reduced • Require an outside audit of all church funds in compliance with GCFA guidelines (www.gcfa.org). • Notify the district superintendent of its findings and recommendations in writing. F. Paragraph 2543 of the Discipline makes clear that no real property on which a church building, or parsonage, is located shall be mortgaged to pay for the current or budgeted expenses of a local church (including arrearages), nor shall the principal proceeds of a sale of any such property be so used. This provision shall apply alike to unincorporated and incorporated local churches. G. Regardless of any assistance received from the Annual Conference, it remains the responsibility of the local church to provide minimum compensation for its appointed clergy (Para. 624). H. It is the responsibility of the pastor to provide evidence of an arrearage by providing documentation to the District Superintendent, Commission on Equitable Compensation and any other conference agency. This evidence should include treasurer's reports, charge conference reports of adopted salary and compensation, check stubs, W-2 forms, and any other pertinent documents.
25
236
I.
The limitations for filing a claim for funds from the annual conference (i.e. notification to the district superintendent of the arrearage) for any salary arrearage is one year from the date of the initial arrearage. Once an appointment ends, the pastor no longer has claim on the local church for compensation funds (Para. 342.4).
J. The district superintendent shall provide a report of the matter and actions taken which will be placed in the permanent files of the church and the pastor.

For the 2025 budget CFA chose to create the ministry area budgets based on actual spending usage of 2022 and 2023 making allowances for 2* salary adjustments or any other know adjustments needed in relation to ministry area need for 2025. This process allowed CFA to make required reductions related to disaffiliations. If a ministry area has a need for additional funding related to unforeseen costs, they can make a request to CFA for reserve fund draws.

Upper New York Conference (374) 2025 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan This funding plan incorporates, to the best of our understanding, the plan sponsor’s obligations and funding of the benefits provided to clergy and laity, as noted below. It is understood by the signees that defined benefit plan liabilities [Pre-82 Plan, Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) and Clergy Retirement Security Program Defined Benefit (CRSP DB) and other sponsored defined benefit plans] continue until the last benefit is paid to participants and their surviving spouses irrespective of the funding level of the plan. That is, even if the assets in the plan are larger than the liabilities in the plan, the plan sponsor still has a liability (obligation) and potential future contribution due to the plan.

MPP is an Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) retirement plan. MPP requires that exactly 65% of the account balance must be annuitized when it is to be distributed.

Upper New York Conference (374) 2025 Comprehensive Benefit Funding Plan Pre-82 Plan (Pre-82) Plan Overview: Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), also known as the Pre-82 Plan, provides clergy with a pension benefit for their years of ministry with The United Methodist Church prior to 1982. The Pre-82 Plan was replaced by MPP effective January 1, 1982. If a clergyperson retires within the conference (and does not terminate), the minimum benefit payable is based on two factors: 1) Years of service with pension credit--approved by each conference on the recommendation of the Conference Board of Pensions (CBOP) in accordance with plan provisions and The Book of Discipline. 2) The conference pension rate (past service rate)--the dollar amount chosen by the conference as the amount payable for each approved year of service with pension credit (may change from year to year). The number of years of service with pension credit is multiplied by the PSR, and the product is the minimum annual benefit payable to those clergy eligible for Pre-82 Plan benefits. In certain situations, the benefit received from the Pre-82 plan may vary based on the applicability of what is referred to as Defined Benefit Service Money (DBSM), which is the defined contribution feature of the Pre-1982 Plan. At the time that a participant retires, the DBSM account is converted to a life-based benefit. At that point, the clergy’s benefit is the greater of the PSR benefit or DBSM benefit. If the conference increases the PSR, the clergy’s benefit is recalculated; however the DBSM-based benefit does not change. Elections and Estimates Final Past Service Rate (PSR)

UNYAC2024.1- Beginning the Work of Reparations Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): 3066 Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Task force in consultation with the UNYAC Commission on Religion and Race Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: Given the lingering legacy of slavery on the racial wealth gap, the monetary value we know that was placed on enslaved Blacks, and the fact that Blacks were originally awarded reparations only to have them rescinded provide overwhelming evidence that it is time to begin the work of reparations to the descendants of enslaved Blacks. Whereas, Resolution 3066 of the 2016 Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church states that the General Conference acknowledges and profoundly regrets the massive human suffering and the tragic plight of millions of men, women, and children caused by slavery and the transatlantic slave trade; and Whereas, (Resolution 3066 continues) at the conclusion of the Civil War, the plan for the economic redistribution of land and resources on behalf of the former slaves of the Confederacy was never enacted; and Whereas, (Resolution 3066 continues) the failure to distribute land prevented newly freed Blacks from achieving true autonomy and made their civil and political rights all but meaningless; and Whereas, (Resolution 3066 continues) conditions comparable to “economic depression” continue for millions of African Americans in communities where unemployment often exceeds 50 percent; and Whereas, (Resolution 3066 continues) justice requires that African American descendants of the transatlantic slave trade be assured of having access to effective and appropriate protection and remedies, including the right to seek just and adequate reparation or satisfaction for the legacy of damages, consequent structures of racism and racial discrimination suffered as a result of the slave trade; and Whereas, (Resolution 3066 continues) Isaiah 61:1-3 provides a model for reparations: “He has sent me … to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim release for the captives, … to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, … to provide for Zion’s mourners, to give them a crown in place of ashes, oil of joy in place of mourning, and a mantle of praise in place of discouragement;” and, Whereas, we hear in Exodus, Deuteronomy, Proverbs, Ezekiel, and Isaiah as well as in the New Testament that those who oppressed, enslaved, or stole from others are commanded to repay or repair what they have taken unjustly, often by a multiple amount; and Whereas, HR-40 was reintroduced in 2023 by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee to the House of Representatives, calling for the establishment of the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans, “acknowledging the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery in the United States from 1619 to the present day,” for the purpose of submitting a report to Congress for further action and consideration with respect to slavery’s effects on African American lives, economics, and politics; and Whereas, New York State Bill S.1163-A/A.7691 establishes the New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies and acknowledges the fundamental injustice and inhumanity of slavery. The Commission will examine the institution of slavery, subsequent racial, and economic discrimination against people of African descent, and the impact on living people of African descent; Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church establish a task force to explore reparations for African Americans in Black churches in the Annual Conference. This task force will be selected by the Conference Commission on Religion and Race (CCORR) and be comprised of two (2) members of CCORR, two (2) members of the Conference Board of Trustees, two (2) members of the Cabinet, two (2) youth, and two (2) at-large members. It is recommended this task force be comprised of at least 1/3 clergy; 1/3 laity; 1/3 women; and 1/3 men; and Therefore, be it further resolved that the task force track federal H.R. 40 and New York State S.1163-A/A.7691, and when Commission reports are released, study and disseminate conclusions to local churches; and 264
Therefore, be it further resolved that the task force, in collaboration with the Conference Board of Trustees, report to the regular 2025 session of Annual Conference the feasibility of directing the Annual Conference to designate a share of the net proceeds from the sale of properties as a result of closure of local churches for the ministries of Black churches in the Annual Conference.

UNYAC2024.2 - Local Congregation Seminary Grants and Scholarships Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): None Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Board of Ordained Ministry, District Committees on Ordained Ministry Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: With the ever-increasing cost of higher education and the hindrance it causes to candidates for ministry, having a comprehensive list of scholarships and grants available through local congregations would help to offset the financial hardship of attending seminary. Whereas, The United Methodist Church is suffering from a lack of trained and qualified clergy and seminary is becoming more and more expensive; and Whereas, not all seminary students are eligible to receive Board of Ordained Ministry grants due to candidacy status; and Whereas, United Methodist clergy are supposed to be responsible for their debt load, however many may not be aware of financial opportunities; and Whereas, many local congregations have scholarship and grant offerings that are unpublished. Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Board of Ordained Ministry, in conjunction with the District Committees on Ordained Ministry, collate and publish the available scholarships and grants publicly offered by local congregations which are open to applicants regardless of candidacy status or local church membership; Therefore, be it further resolved that any specific demographic requirements of scholarships and grants be included in the publication; and Therefore, be it further resolved that this publication will be made initially publicly available through the Board of Ordained Ministry page on the Conference website by our next conference session, and available in hard copy format to all District Committees on Ordained Ministry by the same date. Therefore, be it further resolved that this publication will be updated every year to reflect any changes and to be kept up-to-date and made publicly available through the Board of Ordained Ministry page on the Conference website by our next conference session and available in hard copy format to all District Committees on Ordained Ministry by the same date.

UNYAC2024.4- Clergy Time Off Policy Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): None Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Committee on Equitable Compensation Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: This resolution calls on The Upper New York Annual Conference to support the wellness of all clergy persons who serve churches in the Upper New York Annual Conference by providing a consistent vacation and days off policies for all pastors. Whereas, Sabbath rest is a gift and commandment from God (Exodus 20); Whereas, clergy persons who serve the local church do so most visibly by preaching and leading worship every Sunday, and approximately 40% of UNY clergy serve in a part-time capacity; Whereas, in a time when much of the Upper New York Annual Conference’s focus is on clergy health, consistent time off would be a concrete step to emphasize the health of all clergy; Whereas, the Upper New York Benefits Summary document, under Time Off Policy, states that, “Clergy are eligible for four weeks of vacation each year with five weeks for those with more than 20 years of service. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of vacation.” Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference Clergy Support Policies, section VII. Paid Time Off Policy subsection B be amended to state, “All clergy under episcopal appointment are entitled to four weeks of vacation each year with five weeks for those with more than 20 years of full-time equivalent service. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of vacation.” Therefore, be it further resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference Clergy Support Policies, section VII. Paid Time Off Policy subsection F be amended to state, “Vacation and paid time off for supply pastors and district hires are to be individually negotiated in consultation with the SPRC, pastor, and District Superintendent at the initial appointment and subsequently as needed.” Date of submission: March 15, 2024 Submitted by: Rev.

UNYAC2024.5 - Resolution to Create United Methodists of Upper New York Parental Leave Policy Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): None Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Cabinet Financial Implications: None
Brief Rationale: This resolution would enact a Parental Leave policy for United Methodists of Upper New York that guarantees 13 paid weeks of leave for clergy and church workers whose family are expanding by birth, adoption, or foster placement. Whereas, Scripture calls us to provide care for each other as members of Christ’s family (“But if someone doesn’t provide for their own family, and especially for a member of their household, they have denied the faith.” 1 Timothy 5:8, CEB); and Whereas, The World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization advocate for at least 18 weeks of paid maternity leave1; and Whereas, The 2016 United Methodist Book of Discipline states, “Maternity or paternity leave, not to exceed one-fourth of a year, will be available and shall be granted by the bishop and the cabinet, and the executive committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry to any local pastor, provisional member, associate member, or clergy member in full connection who so requests it at the birth or arrival of a child into the home for purposes of adoption.”2; and Whereas, the Parental Leave policy as written in the 2016 United Methodist Book of Discipline only guarantees paid leave for eight weeks, has been considered open to interpretation, and has not always applied equitably across the connection, since “one-fourth of year”3 is thirteen weeks; and Whereas, the East Ohio, Western North Carolina, and Western Pennsylvania Annual Conferences have adopted policies maintaining compensation for thirteen weeks and assisting local congregations in paying for coverage during the leave; and Whereas, supporting clergy families lives up to our calling to welcome all generations as Christ welcomes children (Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:15. Luke 18:16); and Whereas, the failure to ensure just and equitable Parental Leave for all our clergy families is a manifestation of the spiritual forces of wickedness we are called to renounce, the evil powers of this world we are called to reject, and the sin of which we are called to repent by virtue of our baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ Therefore, be it resolved, United Methodists of Upper New York do lament that, in requiring Parental Leave last no longer than 13 weeks, our United Methodist denomination fails to live up to the conventions and recommendations established by the World Health Organization and International Labour Standards, which calls for Parental Leave to not be less than 18 weeks; and 1

APPENDIX
United Methodists of Upper New York Parental Leave Policy Statement of Purpose The United Methodists of Upper New York supports families, and advocates for Parental Leave for all active clergy under episcopal appointment and lay staff persons welcoming a child into their home. We seek to mirror standards set forth in the New York State Paid Family Leave Act. As such, every congregation and ministry setting in our Annual Conference is covered in a group Paid Family Leave insurance policy that provides funding for twelve weeks of paid Parental Leave. Therefore, we encourage all parents who are welcoming a child into their home—whether by birth, adoption, or foster placement—to make full use of Parental Leave policies. The United Methodists of Upper New York have developed this policy in order to assist clergy families and lay church employees, local churches, District Superintendents (DS), and the Annual Conference in caring for family and advocating for Parental Leave in the church and beyond the church. The World Health Organization and the International Labor Organization advocate for at least 18 weeks of paid maternity leave,4 and The United Methodist Book of Discipline allows for up to 13 weeks of maternity and paternity leave for clergy families.5 The necessity for robust access to paid Parental Leave transcends bodily recovery from a birth. It allows for invaluable time for parents to bond and form integral relationships with the new child. In many cases, a birthing parent will be granted a period of short-term disability by their medical provider after a birth. Parental Leave given through this policy shall not be construed as overlapping with any short-term disability status given to a birthing parent after a birth. Likewise, this policy shall not impact other uses of Paid Family Leave, such as an employee experiencing any qualifying exigency related to a spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent on active military duty. This policy applies to any local pastor, provisional member, associate member, or clergy member in full connection who is appointed to 25% time or more to a local congregation or annual conference-funded extension ministry, including, but not limited to, campus ministries, Wesley Foundations, camp and retreat ministries, and conference staff, hereinafter referred to as “clergy” or “clergy person.” This policy shall also apply to any lay employee of the Upper New York Annual Conference, its extension ministries, or of a congregation within the Upper New York Annual Conference boundaries who works 20 or more hours a week, or has worked for at least 175 hours, hereinafter referred to as “laity” or “lay employees.” Lamentably, due to realities of our group Paid Family Leave insurance coverage, parents working in the same ministry context may not be granted simultaneous paid Parental Leave. While the policy uses language of church appointments, this policy also applies to clergy appointed to conference-funded extension ministries, including but not limited to conference and district positions, and camping ministries. Clergy appointed to non-conference-funded extension ministries are encouraged to adapt similar policies for their settings.
Book of Discipline Foundations ¶ 355. Maternity or Paternity Leave—Maternity or paternity leave, not to exceed one-fourth of a year, will be available and shall be granted by the bishop and the cabinet, and the executive committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry to any local pastor, provisional member, associate member, or clergy member in full connection who so requests it at the birth or arrival of a child into the home for purposes of adoption. 4

1. Whenever feasible, persons desiring maternity or paternity leave should file their request with the committee on pastor-parish relations after consulting with the district superintendent at least ninety days prior to its beginning to allow adequate pastoral care for the churches involved to be developed. 2. During the leave, the clergy member’s annual conference relations will remain unchanged, and the health and welfare benefit plans will remain in force. 3. A maternity or paternity leave of up to one-quarter of a year will be considered as an uninterrupted appointment for pension purposes. 4. Compensation will be maintained for no less than the first eight weeks of leave. 5. During the leave time, pastoral responsibility for the church or churches involved will be handled through consultation with the committee on pastor-parish relations of the local church(es) and the district superintendent. 6. Special arrangements shall be made for district superintendents, bishops, and those under special appointment.
Policy for Births, Adoptions, and Foster Placement for Clergy 1. All clergy in the Upper New York Annual Conference who are expecting the birth or adoption of a child are eligible for Parental Leave (maternity or paternity leave in The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church 2016, ¶ 355). This policy applies to all clergy, regardless of their part-time or full-time status. Parental Leave is guaranteed to all clergy who request it within the guidelines of this policy. 2. Clergy are encouraged to begin communication with their DS as soon as they are able to publicly share the anticipation of a child’s arrival. Families giving birth are encouraged to begin planning as soon as they are public about their pregnancy. Adoptive parents are encouraged to plan as soon as they are approved for adoption/foster parenting. Parental Leave must be requested at least 90 days before the anticipated start of the leave, according to the 2016 Book of Discipline. 3. Parental Leave shall be encouraged and permitted for 13 weeks with full pay and will not affect the clergy person’s pension, health benefits, and appointment status. 4. Churches will maintain their regular compensation for clergy on leave for the duration of the leave. 5. The DS will consult with the clergy person to arrange coverage for the duration of leave. 6. The Annual Conference will provide local churches with partial funding for compensation related to pastoral coverage and pulpit supply, in consultation with the clergyperson(s)’ and the SPPRC. The first twelve weeks of Parental Leave will be covered, up to the amount required by the New York State Paid Family Leave Act, and paid for by the Insurance provider selected and funded by the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits. The clergy person and church shall be responsible for completing and submitting the insurance carrier’s paperwork, with assistance from Annual Conference personnel as required. Required insurance forms are in the RESOURCES section of our Annual Conference website and in the “Clergy Support Policies” document. 7. Parental Leave may be taken consecutively or nonconsecutively, full or part time, according to the needs of the family. Clergy may take intermittent Paid Family Leave in full-day increments. The number of Sundays off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of paid Parental Leave. All Parental Leave must be taken within 12 months of the placement or birth of the child(ren). 8. Parental Leave is not vacation. The use of Parental Leave does not affect the clergy person’s use of their annual vacation granted in the Annual Conference rules. 9. Churches will make reasonable accommodations for breastfeeding and pumping for parents and for infants. This should include private space, access to an outlet, and time/space to feed according to the infant’s needs. 10. Clergy in the Annual Conference will support and promote Parental Leave, including by providing pastoral care coverage if asked and needed, in accordance with their schedule. 11. The Annual Conference will support clergy on Parental Leave by excusing or making alternate arrange275
ments for their district and conference duties. This includes the Annual Conference session, Charge Conference, District and Conference committees, and residency requirements. 12. Foster care providers and adoptive parents may be able to take some of their Paid Family Leave before the actual placement of a foster child or arrival of the adoptive child if an absence from work is required for the placement or arrival to proceed.
Policy for Births, Adoptions, and Foster Placement for Lay Employees 1. All laity employed by the Upper New York Annual Conference, any of its extension ministries, or any congregations within its boundaries expecting the birth or adoption of a child are eligible for Parental Leave. This policy applies to all lay employees who work 20 or more hours a week, or who have worked for at least 175 hours. Parental Leave is guaranteed to all lay employees who request it within the guidelines of this policy. 2. Lay employees are encouraged to begin communicating with their supervisors as soon as they can publicly share the anticipation of a child’s arrival. Families giving birth are encouraged to begin planning as soon as they are public about their pregnancy. Adoptive parents are encouraged to plan as soon as they are approved for adoption/foster parenting. Parental Leave must be requested at least 90 days in advance of the anticipated beginning of the leave, mirroring requirements for clergy in accordance with the 2016 Book of Discipline. 3. Parental Leave shall be encouraged and permitted for 13 weeks with full pay and will not affect any benefits granted to the lay employee. 4. Churches will maintain their regular compensation for lay employees on leave for the duration of the leave. 5. The lay employee(s)’ supervisor will consult with the lay employee to arrange any coverage of the lay employee(s)’ responsibilities for the duration of leave. 6. Funding for the first twelve weeks of any compensation-related coverage of the lay employee(s)’ responsibilities during Parental Leave will be provided to the employer in the amount required by the New York State Paid Family Leave Act and paid for by the insurance provider selected and funded by the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits. It shall be the lay employee and church’s responsibility to complete and submit paperwork provided by the insurance carrier, with assistance from their supervisor and/or Annual Conference personnel as required. Required insurance forms are located in the RESOURCES section of the Annual Conference website. 7. The lay employee(s)’ supervisor shall seek out funding sources for any compensation-related coverage of the lay employee(s)’ thirteenth week of leave and approved by the respective funding source(s)’ governance policies. 8. Parental Leave may be taken consecutively or nonconsecutively, full or part time, according to the needs of the family. Lay employees may take intermittent Paid Family Leave in full-day increments. If the lay employee(s)’ regular job responsibilities include day-specific obligations on a weekly basis for which coverage must be found, the number of those days off will correspond at least one-to-one with the number of weeks of paid Parental Leave. All Parental Leave must be taken within 12 months of the placement or birth of the child(ren). 9. Parental Leave is not vacation. The use of Parental Leave does not affect the lay employee(s)’ use of any annual vacation given by their employer. 10. Employment settings will make reasonable accommodations for breastfeeding and pumping for parents and infant feeding. This should include private space, access to an outlet, and time/space to feed according to the infant’s needs. 11. Foster care providers may be able to take Paid Family Leave before the actual placement of a foster child if an absence from work is required for the placement to proceed. 12. These standards shall be construed as the minimum standards for Parental Leave for lay employees of the Upper New York Annual Conference, its extension ministries, or congregations within its boundar276
ies. If an employer desires and can provide more opportunities for leave, this policy shall not prevent them from doing so.

Israel’s criminal actions, becomes complicit in those violations which many have charged include war crimes and crimes against humanity8, and Whereas, our Christian brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine have called out to us, pleading for our help in their struggle to free themselves from a brutal military occupation that has lasted 57 years9, and Whereas, we are followers of Jesus Christ who came “to bring good news to the poor…to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,” (Luke 4:18), the same Christ who has called us to do for others that which we would want for ourselves (Luke 6:12), Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church calls upon the United States government to: End U.S. financial support for Israel’s military (the “Israeli Defense Force”) to ensure American aid is not used to support the continuation of Israel’s military occupation and violations of Palestinian human rights. Redirect the $3.8 billion in military funding that the U.S. is scheduled to give to the Israeli government in both 2024 and 2025 to help repair and rebuild the devastation that has been wrought in Gaza. Support the Palestinian people in their struggle for self-determination and the establishment of a state in which they will enjoy equal rights with all their fellow citizens and Jewish neighbors. Be it further resolved that the Conference Secretary will send the full text of this resolution to the President of the United States, the U.S. Secretary of State, and all legislators in the U.S. Congress representing the State of New York.

WITHDRAWN UNYAC2024.6 - Upper New York Freedom from Firearms
Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): #3428 (revised and adopted 2016) Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: All local churches and districts and the Conference Social Holiness Committee Financial Implications: None Brief Rationale: At the 2016 General Conference of The United Methodist Church, the resolution “Our Call to End Gun Violence” was passed. This became part of the Book of Resolutions and therefore an official church statement. This statement draws on “Micah’s prophetic dream of peace to our violent reality.”1 Micah was a prophet in the 8th century BCE. During his time, Judah was under constant threat by Assyria. Yet, he tells us, “[God] shall judge between many peoples and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more; but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.” (Micah 4:3-4, NRSVue) Paul’s letter to the Philippians tells us, “Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” (Philipians 2:3-5, NRSVue) United Methodists across the Upper New York Conference seek to follow the Spirit of Jesus who cares about the wellbeing of communities, and all of their members. Therefore, we are deeply concerned about the suffering and human loss caused by reliance on violence to solve conflicts, particularly firearms (handguns, rifles, shotguns, and assault weapons).2
WITHDRAWN
Whereas, at the 2016 General Conference of The United Methodist Church, the resolution “Our Call to End Gun Violence” was passed, becoming an official church statement and part of the Book of Resolutions. “Our Call to End Gun Violence” draws on Micah 4:1-4 for its biblical inspiration, applying Micah’s prophetic dream of peace to our violent reality. Whereas, in 2023, over 40,000 people died from gun violence. 3
Whereas, in 2023 there were over 630 mass shootings, up from 273 in 2014. 3 Whereas, since 2020, the number of gun deaths has surpassed the number of motor vehicle accident deaths among children and teenagers. In 2023, of the 6192 shootings of children under the age of 18, more than 1600 died. 4 Whereas, in the United States, 6 out of 100,000 people have died from gun violence. 3 Whereas, people living with handgun owners died by homicide at twice the rate of their neighbors in gun-free homes.5 Whereas, between 1980 and 2020, 17% of mass shootings were motivated by religious hate and there were 11 mass shootings in houses of worship resulting in 87 deaths. 6 Whereas, Jesus challenged all his disciples to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9; Ephesians 2:17), we call upon the church to affirm its faith through vigorous efforts to curb and eliminate gun violence (Resolution #3248). We also call upon all churches in the Conference to set an example in this regard.
WITHDRAWN
Whereas, it is the purpose of The UMC to become once again a beacon to all people within our buildings and on our properties--a place that is free from violence and free from fear. 283
Whereas, Paul’s letter to the Romans tells us, “If your brother or sister is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love…Let us then pursue what makes for peace and mutual upbuilding (Romans 14:15 and 14:19, NRSVue). While individuals are not prohibited from responsibly gambling and consuming alcohol, we recognize these present a challenge for some individuals. Consistent with our goal of being welcoming to all, we prohibit gambling and alcohol consumption on United Methodist Church property to prevent those being a temptation to some in our midst. Whereas, we believe the principles behind our prohibitions regarding gambling and alcohol consumption should be extended to firearms on UMC property for the same reason. Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist church encourage each congregation to adhere to resolution #3428 [or its successors] from The Book of Resolutions which states, “reflecting that the traditional role of The United Methodist Church has been one of safety and sanctuary, every United Methodist Church is officially declared a weapon-free zone,” [no matter what local legislation may provide to the contrary] (see also The Social Principles of The United Methodist Church).]* Be it further resolved that each church within the conference be encouraged to prohibit firearms** from church property and post signage to that effect. *unless otherwise specially authorized by law **excluding bows and arrows used for archery in controlled camp settings.

UNYAC2024.7 - United Methodist Properties and Events are Gun Free Zones Book of Discipline (¶): None Book of Resolutions paragraph (¶): None Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Buildings Committees Camping & Retreat Ministries Financial Implications: minimal - just the cost of signage which could be a laminated sheet of paper Brief Rationale: In our society, where it seems anyone who wants one has a gun, the church leads to claim that they are a safe space in effort to truly be welcoming to all people. This resolution seeks to live into three General Conference Resolutions: #251, which affirmed that “the traditional role of The United Methodist Church has been one of safety and sanctuary;” #5011 “Church Is a Weapon-Free Zone;” and #3428, “Our Call to End Gun Violence.” Whereas, in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is quoted, saying “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword,” (Matthew 26:52); Whereas, Jesus calling upon his followers to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) is tied to intimate relationship with God, and echoes God’s dreams for peace for all of creation as expressed in Micah 4:1–4; Whereas, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, opposed the use of weapons in a way that could result in the loss of life. He wrote, “No man, therefore, can give the power of the sword, any such power as gives the right to take away life: whatever it is, it must descend from God alone, the sole disposer of life and death.” (John Wesley, Observations on Liberty, 1776); Whereas, the 2000 session of the General Conference adopted a Resolution entitled “Church Is a Weapon-Free Zone” that was readopted in 2004, 2008, and 2012. Resolution #5011 in the 2012 Book of Resolutions states: Whereas, in keeping with the spirit of Isaiah 2:4: God will judge between the nations, and settle disputes of mighty nations. Then they will beat their swords into iron plows, and their spears into pruning tools. Nation will not take up sword against nation; they will no longer learn how to make war;” Whereas, reflecting the church’s traditional role as a place of safety and sanctuary, Therefore, every United Methodist Church is officially declared a weapons-free zone. Whereas, the 2016 session of General Conference adopted Resolution #3428, “Our Call to End Gun Violence,” states “…United Methodist congregations (are asked) to display signs that prohibit carrying guns onto church property” and calls upon church members to prayerfully address gun violence in their local context; Whereas, the 2000 session of General Conference of The United Methodist Church adopted Resolution #251, which affirmed that “the traditional role of The United Methodist Church has been one of safety and sanctuary;” Whereas, churches have a responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of every person who enters a church for worship, education, and for any other reason; Whereas, bringing weapons into the church sends a message that is at odds with what the church wants to communicate and violates the religious character of religious property; Whereas, the work of the church does not involve or require weapons; Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Conference of The United Methodist Church require, as part of the rental agreement, that the meeting areas used for conference events and programs, including the main hall used for conference sessions, and any other areas, including meeting rooms, and dining and display areas, be posted as gun-free zones; Therefore, be it resolved that no firearms will be allowed within the sanctuaries, buildings, or any of the programs or events, or any of the lands owned by the Conference. Exemptions to this are hired contracted securi290
ty personnel to protect the church under dire circumstances and law enforcement personnel; Therefore, be it resolved that all Conference sites shall post clear and visible signage that firearms are strictly forbidden on conference properties or sites and that all local churches be encouraged to determine what their needs are to provide a safe gun free zone.

The Commission on Equitable Compensation report and recommendations to the 2024 Annual Conference of United Methodists of Upper New York. Minimum Compensation and Clergy Wellness From 2017 through 2023, inflation as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index, has totaled 26.6%. In this time, Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustments have totaled 25.5%. In this time, clergy base minimum compensation has increased 6.0%. The Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC) is deeply concerned that clergy minimum base compensation has not kept up with inflation. Of the 53 U.S. Annual Conferences, Upper New York’s Conference Average Compensation (CAC) is fifth from the lowest. Two of the lowest four are missionary conferences. Of the ten Annual Conferences in the Northeastern Jurisdiction, Upper New York’s CAC is second from the lowest. Members of CEC celebrate the work of the Clergy Wellness Task Force. We recognize clergy financial well-being as an integral part of overall spiritual, mental, and physical wellness. The following recommendations are strong steps toward increased clergy wellness. Increased clergy wellness will help Upper New York in our challenges with clergy recruitment and retention. CEC is working from the understanding that we cannot continue to take small steps toward fair and just minimum compensation for clergy. We want clergy at or near minimum salary not just to hear, but to experience our support in their struggles. If we continue taking small steps, should we expect any pastor to continue to be their congregation’s largest giver, as many are now? What are we telling young and next-career people discerning calls to ministry about their value to the church when our lowest salaries do not even keep up with inflation? CEC members recognize that we have helped create these challenges by making insufficient recommendations to Upper New York Annual Conference in recent years. We recognize the natural and healthy tensions that exist between the needs of clergy and the need of congregations. We understand these tensions are not bad or harmful in themselves - they simply recognize the gifts, needs, and challenges of distinct parts of the Body of Christ. We relate to similar natural tensions like those between the needs of the Annual Conference and the needs of congregations, natural tensions within congregations, and in many other church and secular relationships. We bring the following recommendations because the needs of clergy have not been adequately addressed. CEC is clear that our role is to recommend, not to legislate clergy minimum compensation. Upper New York Annual Conference alone sets clergy minimum compensation.
307
Recommendations (to take effect January 1, 2025) This year, the Commission on Equitable Compensation brings the following recommendations to the Annual Conference of Upper New York for approval: 1. We recommend that the Minimum Base Compensation for full-time pastors in the UNYAC shall be increased by $2,400. This is an increase of between 5.7% and 6.3% with the greater percentage for Licensed Local Pastors. The intent of this recommendation for an equal amount in increase for all levels of clergy is to increase the lowest salary level to $40,000. Between 2022 and 2023 the increase in the Minimum Base Compensation was 6%. Prior to 2022, our Minimum Base Compensation had last been increased in January of 2017. As a point of reference, during this period from 2017-2023, the Social Security Cost of Living Adjustments (SSI COLA) have increased by 25.5%. The calculator for the Consumer Price Index shows that the purchasing power of a $39,984 (the minimum compensation for an Ordained Elder or Deacon in 2017) should currently be $47,285 to compensate for inflation. (See supporting data below.) Less than full-time appointments shall receive a base salary pro-rated according to the appointment.

3. We recommend that the minimum Accountable Reimbursement Plan (ARP) be increased by $750, from $3500 to $4250. The minimum ARP amount has been $3500 since we became the UNYAC in 2010. Adjusted for inflation, that amount would be over $4900 in 2024. The increases in the IRS milage rates alone in that period (34%) mean that the ARP standard is far below what will cover most pastors’ professional expenses. This makes it difficult for clergy to afford to attend Continuing Education opportunities, Bishop’s Retreats, Annual Conferences, and other events. Our goal is to recommend an increase to the Accountable Reimbursement Plan to $5000 to reflect inflation. However, we recognize that smaller increments will make that goal more attainable for local congregations. Therefore, we are recommending an increase of $750 for 2025 and will be recommending an increase of an additional $750 in 2026 so that the goal of $1500 can be reached in two years. An increase of $1500 by 2026 may still put us behind inflation by that point, but our hopes are that this change will ease the burden on our clergy’s finances. (See Supporting Data b.) 4. We recommend that pastors serving multiple churches continue to receive $500 for each church over one (unchanged). 5. We recommend that the pulpit supply rate be increased from $90 to $200 for the first service, and $75 to $100 for each additional service. The pulpit supply rate has not changed since the founding of the Upper New York Conference in 2010. Two-hundred dollars ($200) per service honors the time required to create a quality sermon and service. 6. We recommend that no pastor’s salary can be decreased because of this policy, as long as they retain their current appointment. (Unchanged) 7. We recognize that many churches currently pay their pastors more than the base minimum compensation plus increments for their years of service. These churches are encouraged to offer a salary increase of no less than 3.2%. We encourage you to consider that inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index is currently 3.2 % and the 2024 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment was 3.2%. Churches are encouraged to consider further raises based on exceptional service. 2023 Equitable Compensation Grants (for information only) The Commission on Equitable Compensation helps struggling local churches regain sound financial footing, so they can build leadership capacity, make disciples, and transform the world. The CEC administers funds used to support clergy salaries for churches with pastors appointed full-time where those churches are temporarily unable to meet minimum compensation standards. CEC supports churches that demonstrate the potential for moving back to being fully self-sufficient in their funding. The Equitable Compensation Grant, used specifically to support the salaries of full-time clergy, is the primary grant used to provide this assistance. The grant runs in 309
six-month cycles, one available in the spring and one available in the fall each year. In 2023, we were able to provide Equitable Compensation Grant support for six churches totaling $40,000. All churches receiving Equitable Compensation Grants are participating in the Vital Signs Dashboard program. Additional assistance provided from the UNYAC CEC budget and administered by the UNYAC Cabinet in 2023 included: $2500 support for Missional Grants, $3000 for Sustentation Grants and $16,000 for Appointment Grants.

In response to the motion from Marthalynn Sweet’s motion at AC 2023 asking for data on how our minimum compensation recommendations affect clergy and churches, we have included the figure below. The motion specifically asked for data related to the percentage of clergy in UNY who are compensated below minimum compensation including percentage breakdowns by race, age, and gender. Data on race/ethnicity, gender, and age are still being calculated by Conference staff.
Total Pastors in UNYAC There were 371 pastor records from Wespath reviewed to calculate full time equivalences by Conference staff. Of these 315 were full time clergy. There were 56 who were currently not appointed, on leave, or were serving outside of the annual conference. Of the 315 full time pastors there are currently 47 (14.9%) who are below the 2024 minimum compensation standard with the 1% increment for years of service and 19 (6%) are less than $1000 over the minimum compensation standard including the 1% increment for their years of service. If minimum compensation recommendations with the 1.5% increase in increments for years of service for 2025 are enacted 139 (44.1%) of pastors would be below the proposed minimum compensation. There are currently 178 full time pastors that are compensated $3000 or more over their individual base minimum including their increments for years of full-time service. 312
If the current increase in the base minimum compensation with 1.5% increments for years of service is enacted there will be 105 full time pastors that are compensated $3000 or more over their base minimum including their increments for years of full-time service, e.) The following two charts show a comparison of the current/2024 minimum compensation including the 1% increments for full-time years of service and the proposed/2025 minimum compensation including the 1.5% increments for years of full-time service at five-year increments.

Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Report to the Annual Conference 2023-2024
For 170 years Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary has been in service to the Church and the Wesleyan/Methodist connection through the formation of Christian leaders in ordained and lay ministries. As the result of a new strategic planning process that seeks to position the seminary more fully and purposefully in service to the global church, Garrett adopted a new mission and vision that will focus our work to this end: Forming courageous leaders in the way of Jesus to cultivate communities of justice, compassion, and hope…for the thriving of the Church and the healing of the world.
During this past academic year, Garrett also welcomed its largest entering class in over a decade, with 124 new students, and a current enrollment of 314 students representing 37 states and 21 nations from across the globe. We have experienced particular growth in students from the African continent and the Indian subcontinent, adding to an already richly diverse student body. While our denominational diversity also continues to grow, we also proudly welcomed growth in our United Methodist students who constitute more than 50% of our student body.
Of particular importance in the past year has been the partnership we have entered into with Phillips School of Theology of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME). Phillips students are now also fully Garrett students and together we are preparing the next generation of CME leaders in a robust pan-Methodist/Wesleyan context alongside UMC, AME, and AMEZ students. Phillips President, Dr. Paul Brown, is now also affiliated with our faculty, teaching CME History, Doctrine, and Polity, as well as spiritual formation and organizational leadership courses. It is our hope and intention to continue to grow this partnership and foster a truly pan-Methodist/Wesleyan ethos which includes our growing global Methodist partners in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Additionally, last year, all Garrett degree programs were made truly hybrid so that students can study with us and earn their degrees either on our Evanston campus or in virtual learning spaces around the globe. This has added an amazing breadth of experience and contexts to our classrooms, where we seek to address real-world challenges with gospel inspired solutions or responses.
Garrett’s world-class faculty continue developing curricular innovations that are responsive to the church’s growing needs, while also contributing a significant body of scholarly work to their respective fields. Our faculty are also at work developing The Garrett Collective, an online platform of theological learning and resources for churches and partner organizations inspired by our faculty’s research and/or strategic partnerships. Finally, at this critical juncture in the history of United Methodism, faculty leaders are providing essential guidance to UMC students, while also continuing to envision with hope the next expression of Methodism that is responsive to the Spirit’s call for such a time as this.

We urge fully ordained pastors, including those who may be serving as parish ministers, to consider applying for certification. The Reverend Jim Ketcham serves as coordinator for Chaplains. Equips faith leaders to advocate for laws and policies consistent with our denominational partner’s social principles, which address structural racism, economic inequality, and environmental degradation. Please see our virtual training. Our statewide Ecumenical and Interfaith Advocacy Days were held on March 18 and 19. We focused on expanding legal and housing assistance for immigrants, including asylum seekers, while expanding the social safety net. We also promoted the Faith Based Affordable Housing Act which will make it easier for faith communities to build affordable housing on their property. We supported the HEAT Act to wean the state off reliance on natural gas and the Climate Superfund to require fossil fuel companies to invest in climate resilience. Finally, we advocated for passage of the Wrongful Conviction Act to help incarcerated people revisit their convictions along with the gate money bill to increase from $40 to $2,500 to facilitate re-entry. Go to advocacy days event page for all policies. Promotes mission consistent development of church property. The Council offers grants and assessments to congregations seeking to develop their property for affordable housing.

The New York State Council of Churches (NYSCOC) has also partnered with Crauderueff and Associates (C&A) to offer no-cost clean energy technical assistance to faith-based organizations and affordable housing providers. Supported by a NYSERDA, we serve as consultants to help faith communities explore their clean energy options and make a plan to converting their building to clean energy. Also, through Community Solar Subscriptions, any homeowner or renter can access the benefits of solar energy and save 5% - 10% on their monthly electric bills. For each new subscriber that a congregation signs up, it will receive a $100 donation from Crauderueff & Associates. Is committed to ecumenical and interfaith work and works to build relationships across secular and religious lines as central to our mission. We advocate for religious freedom and human rights in India and Israel/Palestine.

After attending business school, Joyce worked primarily as a secretary for several area firms, including Collins Motors, the National Tuberculosis Association, Sears, ACCO International, Diamond International, Connecticut General Life insurance, and Dr. Abraham Injean. After her daughter Shannon was born she continued to serve the public as a frequent volunteer at the church, a member of the Hillcrest Cemetery Association, a member of the board of elections in DePeyster, and many other worthwhile endeavors. Joyce was known for her giving nature, her determined spirit, and her loving care of her family at all times. She always felt her children and her family were her greatest accomplishments. She enjoyed playing the piano and organ, singing, get-togethers with family and friends, flower gardening, and baking her renowned chocolate chip cookies. And, like her mother, Joyce was a devoted fan of the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball and football teams.

Rev. Harold N. Coller peacefully passed away at the age of 88 on Sunday, March 17, 2024. He was born in North Hornell, N.Y., the 4th child of eight children to George N. and Margaret Coller. He often mentioned he was born the year of the Hornell Flood during the Great Depression. Rev. Coller received his bachelor’s degrees in Theology and Sociology from the School of Theology of Alfred University, while working as a licensed mechanic alongside his father in the family automobile repair business. Upon graduation from college, he began his pastoral career starting with the Baptist Church in Hornell and then as a United Methodist Minister at the Brooks Grove Church, which is now in the Genesee Country Museum. From there, his career advanced to churches in Dalton, Rushford, Caneadea, Walworth and Perry, N.Y., where he retired from fulltime ministry. At that time, he began a second career in the banking industry starting with Citizen Bank and retiring from HSBC Bank. His mother had said that he had the “calling” from a young age and this was evident as he continued his ministry on a part-time basis for churches in Sardinia, Johnsonburg, Elba, Covington and South Byron. His life was his ministry and service to others which he truly loved performing all of his life. He was a very welcoming and warm person always interested in the well-being of people and what was happening in their lives.

He enjoyed reading, especially the newspaper, which he looked forward to each day. He enjoyed countryside drives and attending local car shows with his wife. As for sports, he watched the NASCAR races where he cheered for not a specific driver, only caring that a Chevrolet won the race. He will be sadly missed by his wife of over 65 years, Ve; his children, Harold (Lori) Coller, Norman Coller and JoAnn Coller; grandchildren, Paul, Matthew (Sloane) and Shaun (Kaitlin) Coller.

John DeMocker
Dr. John DeMocker, a long-time resident of Rochester, passed away on September 17th at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at the age of 94. Born on September 6, 1929, in Schenectady, New York to Carroll and Mildred DeMocker, John grew up in Mount Morris. When he was seven, his three-year-old sister Muriel died from an ear infection, spurring from a young age John’s interest in medicine. He was class president and valedictorian at Nunda High School where he excelled at sports, playing baseball, basketball and soccer. In 1947 he was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of Rochester where he served as goalie on the soccer team. While studying towards a degree in medicine, he met nursing student Janice Delahooke at a school dance and the two fell madly in love. In 1951, they married in secret at a small church in Hemlock as it was forbidden at the time for nursing students to wed. To make ends meet while in medical school, John made extra money sitting overnight with patients in iron lungs and cleaning out salamander cages in the university’s biology lab. That’s right, salamander cages. While interning in surgery in Chicago, John was drafted into the Air Force where he served at the air base in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the rank of captain. While at the air base, he performed so many tonsillectomies that he grew tired of both the Air Force and of surgery, so as soon as his two-year enlistment was up, he left both behind to return to Rochester to become a radiologist. By now the couple had three young children in tow. In all, John and Janice had nine children of varying quality. John himself delivered his seventh and most handsome child in the backseat of his Oldsmobile when he and Janice did not make it to the hospital on time. That child grew up to be a talented writer tasked with penning his father’s obituary. In addition to his nine children, John leaves behind fourteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, most of whom are improvements on their parents. When someone once asked if he was Catholic based on his large number of offspring, John replied, “No, I’m just a passionate Protestant.” John served the Rochester community for decades with his private radiology practice in Irondequoit and as a member of the faculty of the University of Rochester Medical School. He was a member of Asbury First United Methodist Church for over sixty-five years. He loved his family, who loved him back, and golf, which didn’t. He took his family for frequent trips to the Adirondacks where he was undisputed captain of the motorboat. He collected pastoral French paintings, enjoyed endlessly hitting baseballs for his sons to catch (or not), indulged the purchase and maintenance of pets of varying size and temperament to make his daughters happy, and promised his wife that he would provide better for his children than he was
337
provided for. When Janice was assigned as a pastor to the church where they had been married, John spent countless hours renovating and improving the property. His children remember how “Dear Old Dad” would jingle his keys by the door when he was ready to go and no one else was. He used his formidable deductive and analytical abilities to guess the contents of wrapped Christmas gifts, a skill so uncannily accurate his young children believed he had x-ray vision. His older children suspected he was x-raying the presents at this radiology practice in the days before Christmas. They recall his love of sledding and snowball fights, spirited games of backgammon and chess, and above all his kind but cleverly subversive sense of humor. Everything John did, he did with professional dignity and without seeking attention or praise. Once, on a trans-Atlantic flight to Paris with his family in the late ‘80’s, a call went out over the intercom asking if there was a doctor on the plane. John disappeared for a very long time, eventually returning and sitting back down without a word. When asked what happened, he answered, “Just a man with a medical problem.” As the family deplaned, the pilot, flight attendants and the man’s family were all waiting at the door to thank him. The man’s heart had stopped, and John brought him back with thirty minutes of CPR. That was the “medical problem” John quietly and modestly tackled. John practiced medicine until he was 89 years old and at the time of his death, his illicit marriage to Janice had lasted over 72 years. He left the world a far better place than he found it which is the best any of us can do.
Wendell Elmendorf Jr.
Reverend Wendell Harmon Elmendorf, Jr. died Saturday evening, July 15, at his Littleton, Colorado residence with his daughter and her family nearby. Wendell was 91 years old. Born June 4, 1932 in Schenectady, NY, Wendell was a graduate of Mont Pleasant High School and Williams College. He received a Master’s of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Rev. Elmendorf began his ministry in 1955 in the Troy New York Conference becoming a Full Elder in 1957. He was appointed to six United Methodist churches over the course of his forty years in the ministry: East Harlem Protestant Parish in New York City, St. Luke’s in Albany, NY; Grace in Essex Junction, VT; Eastern Parkway in Niskayuna, NY; Pine Grove in Albany, NY, and Fremont in Gloversville, NY. Wendell retired in 1995 to Galway, NY, with his wife Mary. He served as an interim minister at Galway United Methodist Church during his retirement. Wendell and Mary traveled to England, Israel, and Egypt during retirement. They often spent March and April near Wendell’s father in Cocoa Beach, FL, went on several cruises, and made frequent trips to Colorado to visit their grandsons, daughter, and son-in-law. Several years after Mary’s passing, Wendell was fortunate to find love and companionship again with Mildred (Millie) Pelrine of Utica, NY. Wendell and Millie eventually relocated to Jensen Beach, Florida. Millie currently resides in California with her daughter and family. Wendell was preceded in death by his wife of 45 years, Mary Levander Elmendorf; their son Peter Edmond Elmendorf; his parents Wendell and Helen Elmendorf; his brother Carl Elmendorf and his sister Elizabeth (Betty) Quay.

He is survived by his daughter, Martha Elder; son-in-law, Jim Elder; grandsons, Peter and Chris Elder of Littleton, Colorado; his son, Mark Elmendorf of Boston, Massachusetts; his sister Marion Demgen of Connecticut; and many nieces, nephews, and in-laws. Wendell always spoke dearly of his extended Elmendorf and Pelrine family and loved them all very much. Wendell had a fondness for nature, often taking long walks in the Galway countryside, along the beaches in Florida, and the trails in Chatfield State Park near his daughter’s house. Wendell played tennis until he was 80 years old and watched tennis matches on TV until his passing. He remained active in his Littleton assisted living community, attending Be Fit classes every afternoon and doing laps around the hallways using his walker. He was a dog lover and had several black labs over the years, often helping them break the house rules by sneaking them treats under the table and letting them nap on the bed. Wendell had a good sense of humor, a gift for telling a story, and an amazing smile. Wendell’s daughter will honor his wishes by laying him to rest at Evergreen Memorial Park in Albany, NY, alongside his wife, son, father, mother, and brother. Wendell’s Celebration of Life, open to the public, will be held on Saturday, October 21, at 1 pm, at the Galway United Methodist Church.

Paul David Gongloff Rev. Paul David Gongloff, aged 77, died at the Palliative Care Unit of Strong Memorial Hospital on Sept. 16, 2023 following a stroke on Sept. 4th and in the company of his wife, daughter and son. He was born in Bridgeton, NJ in 1945 and is predeceased by his parents, Garth LeRoy and Esther Harbison Gongloff and his sister and brother in law, J Everett and Beverly Hancock and our much loved exchange student daughter, Eunice deCarvalho of Luanda, Angola. Paul received BA and BArch degrees from Syracuse University, GO ORANGE! (where he was pursued by the love of his life until he caught her), and an MTh from Boston University School of Theology. He was ABD for his DMin. He served United Methodist congregations in Kanona/Wheeler, Fayetteville, Christ Community, and Bellevue Heights where our family grew up. Paul was called to Asbury First in 1990 and subsequently served Christ View and Covenant where his mature vocational skills and passion for urban ministry found a home in a loving and supportive congregation. Paul wept and tried to be helpful in the current struggles of our church and looks forward to a time when the people called United Methodists can love each other as God loves all people. He was also a husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and friend. We had to share him with the world, and sometimes that was hard for us. But we knew that his love for us superseded all. He told jokes and puns that made us laugh until the tears ran and we were breathless. He was a philosopher, writer, choral singer, stone carver, painter and a man who fashioned unique storage boxes out of scrap wood. He washed used aluminum foil in the dishwasher so we could use it again, composted kitchen scraps for the garden, and never used plastic bags only once. He collected rubber bands and paper clips, and reused nails, nuts and bolts . He taught us all to love God’s world and to enjoy our time in it, as well as our roles and responsibilities to it. When at our camp, at the ocean, in our back yards and in each country we visited in our travels, he saw the beauty. He took personal responsibility for climate change, pollution, political upheaval, violence, genocide, racism, and the abuse of children and refugees throughout the world. Paul loved his grandchildren, and greeted them with respect for who God made them to be, but also with puns, riddles, books, lateral thinking puzzles, “duck talk”, tool boxes and random telephone calls to ask them the purpose of goosebumps and fingernails. He made them feel good inside. Whatever gifts he sent were always intricately wrapped in layers of recycled paper and way too much tape. Paul is survived by the love of his life and “first trophy wife” of 52 years, Nancy Allen Gongloff. He always told her that she looked best in red (“she’s the one who turns my head”), that her cooking was better than anyone else’s (“so why would we go out to eat?”), and that she was his most enthusiastic travel companion.
339
Paul is also survived by our beloved children: Erica Leigh Gongloff (Colin Doolittle), Luke Allen Gongloff (Amanda Gongloff) and nine grandchildren: Aidan, Sage Nadia, Milo, Megan, Matthew, Melanie, Annabella, and Lucas. He was also so grateful for our nephew, Michael Hancock and niece, Faith Hancock Borradaile. Paul was able to be a tissue donor and would encourage others to consider donation as well. His funeral will be held on Friday, September 29th at 2PM at Asbury First United Methodist Church, with a reception to follow in the church Gathering Center. The service will be livestreamed here. Memorial gifts may be directed to The UnTours Foundation at 103 Chesley Drive Suite 200 Media, PA 19063 or to Asbury First UMC Storehouse, 1050 East Ave, Rochester, NY 14607.

Mary Ann Linder Mary Ann Linder. After a life of generous service, Mary Ann Linder slipped away in a peaceful slumber on December 18, 2023. Her final hours were spent with her sons Harry Kyle and Daniel, celebrating Advent with readings, prayers, and songs. Mary Ann was born in Houston, Texas on November 7, 1934, to Floyd and Dorothy Brinson, who taught her to walk in the light of Christ and share that light with others. She graduated with honors from Lamar High School in Houston, and then from Baylor University, honing her naturally strong communication skills in both writing and public speaking. She would go on to earn graduate degrees from Creighton University, Kearney State, and Andover Newton Theological Seminary (Yale) and spent a sabbatical year at Boston University’s School of Theology. Mary Ann published broadly (being listed in Who’s Who in American Prose and Poetry), including articles, poetry, and several books that drew heavily from her faith and lessons from motherhood. Blessed with a beautiful soprano voice that filled every church she attended; she was always ready with a song on her lips if not in her heart. Through her music, study of scriptures, counseling, and theology, she dedicated herself to serving others through the Methodist ministry. She met her first husband, Harry Bohrs, while they were students at Baylor University. They moved to Greenwich Village in the 1950’s, then to Hightstown, New Jersey where they raised their boys, sharing her faith along with her love of baseball and learning to appreciate fishing and camping. Mary Ann later married Lyle Linder, and his daughter Leslie came into her life. The two enjoyed 41 years of marriage, traveling the world and ministering together. A particular passion was building homes near the Mexican border through Volunteers in Mission, in which they participated for several years and through which they sponsored several children. When Daniel took his junior year in Japan, Mary Ann decided to open their home to a Japanese exchange student. They hosted four students over the years, forming life-long bonds with Kurami, Ikuko, Kayoko and Takuya leading to two trips to Japan to deepen ties between families. Mary Ann went from being an Assistant Editor at McGraw-Hill in a NYC high-rise, to living in Atlanta while Lyle attended divinity school at Emory University, to being the Executive Director of the Crossroads Social Service Center in the plains of Hastings, Nebraska, to attending Andover Newton in Newton, MA, to living in Franklin, NY and serving as Pastor to several area churches. Her final move was to Boston after Lyle’s death in 2017 to be near her sons. Mary Ann deeply loved and valued her family, taking special pride in the accomplishments of her grandchildren. She cared greatly for those around her, and rejoiced in music, reading, writing, and the church. She took delight in reading mysteries and indulging in word games, particularly very competitive Scrabble tournaments when family gathered. Mary Ann was a remarkable woman who was always half a step ahead of her time, and smart as a whip. She exemplified “You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can’t take the Texas out of the girl”. Her generosity of spirit and the songs from her soul will be missed by her family and the many people she touched, including those who cared for her in her final years at Presentation Rehab Center in Brighton. We are grateful for their kind attentiveness. She leaves her children Harry Kyle Bohrs (Anne Turner), Daniel Bohrs, and Leslie Linder, and her grandchildren Katharine and Nathaniel Bohrs. A funeral service will be held in the Brown & Hickey Funeral Home 36 Trapelo Road Belmont on Saturday Jan. 27th at 12:30 PM.

Another passion for Pastor Paul was donating blood for the American Red Cross. At age 65, he joyfully reached a milestone…completion of 100 pints of blood. It was a win/win each time. Others received the gift of his healthy blood and he received fig newtons and orange juice! Paul’s selflessness and dedication to others made him a pillar of every community in which he lived. In his spare time, Paul enjoyed couponing, gardening, watching sports, and attending baseball games. A true classical music enthusiast, Paul’s love for melody brought joy to those around him, especially in church. He took pride in his home, working tirelessly to create a loving and welcoming environment for his family and friends, including his unique collection of over 100 cow figurines.

Rev. Gerald Arthur Wolter, beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, pastor and friend, passed away on July 30th, 2023 at the age of 95 at Hildebrandt Hospice in Rochester, NY. Gerald (“Jerry”) took his last breath as his eldest daughter led the singing of “Great is Thy Faithfulness” at his bedside. Jerry was an old school pastor who believed meeting people at their time of need was as important as the words he spoke from the pulpit on Sunday morning. Jerry’s kind and gentle spirit was evident to all, and he will be greatly missed. Gerald Arthur Wolter was born on March 12th, 1928 on the family farm in Edmunds County, South Dakota. Jerry was the son of Arthur Edwin Wolter and Doris Edith Bailey Wolter. In high school, Jerry was on the Redfield High School debate team with a young Miss Helen Georgene Holt. The high school sweethearts were married on August 1st, 1951, a marriage lasting nearly seventy years until Helen’s death in July 2021. Jerry had a love of music all through his life; in high school, Jerry played the cornet in the school band, and sang in the choir. While pursuing a bachelor's degree in religion from Miltonvale Wesleyan, Jerry took voice lessons and participated in choral singing. Many people over the years have enjoyed hearing his deep bass singing voice. Jerry also had a love for learning. After graduating from Miltonvale, Jerry attended Iowa State Teacher’s College majoring in journalism with a minor in English; he received his B.A. in August 1952 and was certified to teach in many fields (although he never taught). In later years, Jerry received an M.S. in Administration and Counseling from Alfred University. Jerry completed eight summers of education for ordination in the United Methodist Church, and he began pursuing a Ph.D from Drew University (although decided to withdraw from the program to focus on his family and his ministry). Jerry’s career as a pastor spanned many decades. Over the course of his life, he preached 3,336 sermons, officiated 405 weddings and led 1069 funerals. He served as a pastor at Waterloo First Church (Waterloo, Iowa), La Porte City Wesleyan Methodist Church (Iowa), Waite Park Wesleyan Methodist Church (Minneapolis, MN), College Church/Houghton College (as chaplain/registrar) (Houghton, NY), Andover/Greenwood United Methodist Churches (NY), Spencer United Methodist Church (Hornell, NY), Grace United Methodist Church (Rochester, NY), First United Methodist Church (North Tonawanda, NY), Wesley United Methodist Church (Rochester, NY) and Aldersgate United Methodist Church (Rochester, NY). Gerald will be dearly missed by daughters Elisabeth (Benito) Martinez, Lois (Laurence Brown) Wolter, Laura (Norman) Moulton, daughter-in-law Rev. Dr. Tisa Anders, grandchildren Christine (Nick) Vuono, Charles (Lindsay Truesdell) Wolter, Jr., Stephanie (Christopher) Agostinelli, Jonathan (Julia) Martinez, Heidi (Ryan) Hanes, Sarah (Daniel) White, Christopher Brown, Andrew Moulton, Stephen Moulton, great-grandchildren Laura Vuono, Margot Agostinelli, Max Agostinelli, Rachel Martinez, Peter Martinez, David Martinez, Philip Martinez, Jonah Hanes, Levi Hanes, Asher Hanes, Jeremiah Hanes, Abigail Hanes, Alyssia Hanes, Laraina Hanes, John White, Paul White, his sisters Shirley Sime and Bonnie Steward, and many other family members and long-time friends. Jerry was predeceased by beloved wife Helen Georgene Holt Wolter, son Charles Arthur Wolter, and sister Dorothea Schurch. A memorial service will be held August 12th, 2023 at 11:00 am at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Greece, NY.
